Su Guifei knew that these princes and princesses, except for their own children, no one was sincerely congratulating her on her birthday.
When they finished salute, she waved them back, so as not to embarrass each other.
"Du Qing took Jiuzhu around and let her get acquainted with the palace." Concubine Su stood up: "The other empresses are still waiting for Ben Gong to go back. Ben Gong will go back to Mingyue Palace first."
According to the rules of the harem, other concubines in the palace are still asking Mingyue Palace to salute her.
"Respectfully send Niangniang." The princes and princesses hurriedly bowed to send each other off, showing a respectful gesture.
Concubine Su stood up holding Xiang silk's hand, and when she walked past King Chen, she glanced at him: "Take care of Jiuzhu."
King Chen bowed: "My son is doing things, please rest assured."
Concubine Su: "..."
Hearing what he said, I was really uneasy. She patted the back of Jiuzhu's hand before leaving the Feifeng Palace.
The other princes and princesses saw this scene in their eyes, and their inner thoughts were different, but when they saw Jiuzhu's eyes, they were all a little kinder.
"The autumn color is just right today, why don't we walk in the Royal Garden together?" A princess said, "Can Miss Jiuzhu go to the Royal Garden?"
Jiuzhu didn't answer, she turned to look at King Chen, as if she only intended to listen to his opinion.
King Chen smiled. He didn't seem stupid. He knew who was trustworthy when there were a lot of people.
"Do you want to go and have a look?" King Chen asked.
Jiuzhu nodded, still a little curious.
"The golden flower tea in the Royal Garden is blooming just right, this king will take you to see it." King Chen turned to look at the other brothers and sisters: "The little girl is shy and unpleasant by nature, this king can accompany her there, you can do it yourself."
shy
King Qi glanced at Ming Jiuzhu, who was standing beside King Chen and didn't speak, and nodded slightly: "Fifth brother and Miss Ming please do whatever you want."
Hearing him speak, Ming Jiuzhu didn't even look at him, her bright eyes just looked at Yun Duqing, as if she was looking at the only bright candle in the dark.
"Let's go." After two steps, King Chen retreated to Jiuzhu's side, and silently stretched out his arm.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiu Zhu put one hand on the skirt and the other on King Chen's arm, carefully stepping over the threshold of Feifeng Hall.
King Qi looked at the door, the sun swayed on the two of them, shining and bright, he slowly closed his eyes.
The sun is shining, which can easily hurt the eyes.
"Fourth brother." King Huai looked at King Qi with a half-smile, "I see, the fifth brother has a good relationship with the Miss Ming family."
"They are fiancées. It is a blessing for Qin Se and Ming to get married." King Qi said slowly: "If the fifth brother knows that the elder brother cares so much about him, he will be very happy."
"I just don't know what happened to the Royal Racecourse, which wolf son with ambition did it. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it didn't cause a major disaster. In case of accidentally hurting the father or the royal bloodline..." King Huai glanced at the few younger brothers present. Sister, with a yin and yang smile, she strode out of the Feifeng Palace.
The other princes and princesses looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear the sharpness of the words between the two.
The eldest quarrels with the fourth, what does it have to do with them
Royal Garden.
Jiuzhu was blowing the cold wind of late autumn, looking at the golden flower tea hanging on the branch, she couldn't help shivering.
"Are you still watching?" King Chen took the cape from Chang Sui's hand, shook it off, and put it on Jiuzhu.
Jiuzhu shook her head again and again.
The imperial garden is beautiful, but the wind is too cold.
Seeing Jiu Zhu's neck shrinking, King Chen helped her straighten her cloak, and the smile on her face couldn't hold back: "When I was a child, I didn't want to study, I was clamoring to come to the Imperial Garden to play..."
"and after?"
"Later, like you, I was blown back by the wind honestly."
"Why didn't Your Highness tell me just now?" Jiu Zhu secretly kicked the pebble beside her feet, pretending that she wasn't angry at all.
"If I had told you just now, you would have misunderstood that I didn't want to accompany you." King Chen saw the kicked stone, hit the rockery, and fell into the chrysanthemums, and stubbornly bounced it.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Putting away the smile on his face, King Chen said seriously: "The Imperial Garden in Chunri is the most beautiful, and we can take a stroll at that time."
"If His Highness told me, I would believe it." With the cape, Jiuzhu was not too cold, she bent down and wanted to pick two golden flower teas.
King Chen took it off and put it in her palm.
The girl's palms are white and tender, and the golden flowers lie in her palms, which is particularly lovely.
"What kind of letter do you believe?" He stretched out his finger and knocked on Jiuzhu's forehead, and King Chen sneered: "Don't believe anyone's words easily."
"Then I don't believe everyone." Jiuzhu covered her forehead and stared at King Chen with wide eyes.
"Humph." King Chen looked up at the sky: "You are still young, and there are many things you don't understand."
"But it's enough that I understand that Your Highness and Empress are good people." Jiuzhu put the golden flower tea into the purse around her waist: "I don't care what others do."
King Chen looked at Jiuzhu and suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at, Your Highness?" Jiu Zhu looked at him puzzled.
"Xiaoqiu is refreshing and fruitful." King Chen reached out and brushed the leaves from Jiuzhu's hair.
Autumn is cool
Jiu Zhu wrapped the cloak tightly around her body, obviously it was the wind and the cold leaves fell.
As soon as the two returned to Mingyue Palace, people around Emperor Longfeng came to King Chen and said that it was His Majesty's call.
"You can play freely, no one dares to upset you here." Helping Jiuzhu take off the cloak, King Chen looked at the girls in the garden and had a headache: "Before noon, I may come back with the royal father."
Sun Caiyao and other noble daughters had already seen King Chen send Miss Ming back.
Miss You whispered to her companion: "I didn't expect that King Chen's character would be very good to Miss Ming."
"Look over there." The companion secretly pointed to the west: "Mrs. Ming Shilang is also there."
Whether King Chen's move was really considerate, or whether he was doing it for Mrs. Ming Shilang, only he could understand.
Royals, who can't act
Sun Caiyao saw that after King Chen had left, another female official from Mingyue Palace greeted Ming Jiuzhu, and she couldn't help but began to wonder if Concubine Su and her son were really satisfied with her, or did they want to win over the three brothers of the Ming family
Today, Ming Jiuzhu rushed to the Mingyue Palace early. Is it her own opinion, or did the Ming family acquiesce
No, not possible. With the character of the Ming family, it is absolutely impossible to get close to this ignorant, arrogant and domineering prince.
A Ming Jiuzhu means nothing, the most honorable chair in Chengguo must belong to His Royal Highness King Qi in the future.
"Ms. Ming." The female officer of Mingyue Palace found Jiuzhu, led her to sit at the stone table behind the rockery, put fresh refreshments for her, and gave her a big gift: "Thank you for coming to the palace early this morning to be your concubine. He Shou, Niangniang is very happy today."
"On Empress's birthday, ministers and daughters should come early to celebrate her birthday." Jiuzhu saw the female official at Mingyue Palace and invited her to drink tea together.
"Slaves don't dare." The female official quickly declined: "Slaves have an unkind request today, and I also ask the girl to help."
"Auntie is very polite, I'm a soft-spoken person, I'm afraid I can't help auntie." Jiuzhu looked at the female official in surprise, what can she help
"The girl misunderstood." The female official quickly explained: "It's our sisters. I am grateful for the care of the goddess over the years, so I embroidered a congratulatory picture for the goddess. It's just that the rules in the palace are strict, and the status of slaves and other low-ranking servants does not dare to congratulate the goddess. The picture was presented to the empress, and asked the girl to present it on her behalf."
The female official took out the embroidery picture wrapped in embroidery handkerchief from her bosom, took the face of Jiuzhu seriously, and opened the embroidery picture.
"What a clever craft." Jiuzhu was attracted by the embroidery and exclaimed, "Aunts are amazing."
"Let the girl laugh." The female officer wrapped the embroidered picture with an embroidered handkerchief, and held her hands in front of Jiuzhu.
Jiuzhu took the wrapped embroidery picture: "Okay."
"Thank you girl." The female officer looked at Jiuzhu gratefully, and wanted to give a big gift to Jiuzhu, but was stopped by Jiuzhu.
"Auntie doesn't have to be like this." Jiuzhu smiled innocently: "The aunts' affection for the goddess is really touching, and I will send it to you."
"Then there is a girl named Lao."
The female officer watched Ming Jiuzhu leave with the embroidered picture, and lowered her head slowly, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.
"Be quick on your hands and feet, don't break things."
Xiangxian was checking the guest list in her hand, when she turned her head and saw Miss Ming hiding in the corner, waving to her mysteriously.
She put down the list and walked towards Jiuzhu: "Miss Ming, what's the matter with the servant?"
"Something's not right." Jiuzhu took the incense silk and moved a few steps to the wall, making sure that no one else noticed what she was doing with the incense silk, so she crouched down against the wall and took the things out of her sleeves. .
Seeing Miss Ming squatting in a small ball on the ground, Xiangxian hesitated for a while, then squatted down following her example: "What is this?"
"Aunt Xiangshuang, I may be suspicious about this matter. If there is something wrong, please help me to say a few good words in front of the maiden, and tell her not to be angry with me." Jiuzhu opened the embroidery picture: "Someone just made the embroidery work. Give the picture to me, and let me pass it to the empress."
After seeing what the embroidery pattern was embroidered on, Xiangshuang changed her face: "Who gave it to the girl?"
"It's an aunt from Mingyue Palace." Jiuzhu knew that she had guessed correctly when she saw Xiangxian's face.
"I find it strange, even though the palace rules are strict, but with the gentle and kind-hearted nature of the empress, if she finds out that the people around her have embroidered birthday pictures for her, she can't be angry." Jiuzhu rolled the embroidered pictures into a ball, "When I was young Doing good things is waiting for them to praise me, and it is impossible to give good opportunities to others."
How could she, who is so intelligent, fall for such a foolish person
If you want to deceive her to harm the concubine, there is no way!
There are no windows!
"Yes, the empress is gentle and kind, how can she be willing to punish her." Xiangxian took a slow breath. As early as two months ago, the Qin Tian prison had calculated that there would be a catastrophe around the empress's birthday, and there was absolutely no doubt in the bedroom. The image of a fairy riding a horse cannot appear.
But what is embroidered on this picture is the fairy Yutianma congratulating her birthday.
If Miss Ming presented the embroidered picture of He Shou to the empress in front of everyone, the consequences would be disastrous...
tear it up!
Xiangshuang regained her senses, and saw that Miss Ming had torn the embroidery in half with her bare hands. She seemed to think that the torn was not thorough enough, so she shook the embroidery again, and with a little force on her hands, the embroidery turned into tattered pieces. The piece of cloth was severely crushed by her stepping into the mud.
Looking at the deep mud pit under Miss Ming's feet, Xiang Silk fell silent.
"Auntie, it's all right now." Jiuzhu smiled brightly at Xiang Xuan.
"Ah..." Xiangxian found that her voice seemed a little hoarse, she moved her legs and tried to stay away from the pit.
