The gifts of the emperor have long been handed over to the ceremonial officials, and they will be included in the book of rituals. After the banquet is over, the emperor will see it himself. In some TV dramas, it is impossible for a group of royal families to fight in front of everyone who's gift is higher. At most, a few close relatives of the royal family toasted the emperor and said a few auspicious words.
As the highest-ranking person in this generation, the prince read congratulations to the emperor in person, and then staged a good show of filial piety in front of the royal family. The people next to him also praised the emperor's kindness and filial piety, as if the prince was filial. This father and son are the role model for all fathers and sons in the world.
Hua Xiwan felt that every member of the royal family present was an actor and a queen. Seeing the emotion on her face and the precise and error-free smile on the corner of her mouth, it was like killing the rhythm of professional actors.
Fortunately, she has some experience in acting, otherwise, in this situation, I am afraid that she really can't make such a natural moving expression.
After this good show of filial piety to the father and son is over, everyone can finally eat and drink to their heart's content. The delicate dishes are brought up like flowing water, and the dishes they have already tasted are removed like flowing water. At the end of the meal, Hua Xiwan couldn't remember how many dishes she had eaten, but even if she only ate one chopstick for each dish, she was already half full.
From time to time, people come over to drink with Yan Jinqiu. Hua Xiwan is not familiar with the appearance of these people, but she already knows their names and backgrounds, so there is no timidity in the conversation.
Everyone in the royal family originally thought that Hua Xiwan was beautiful, but after several trials, they found that although this woman did not like to talk much, she was graceful and graceful, not like an inner woman who had never participated in social occasions. .
Although the prince's words are a bit rough, but judging from the current situation, the Duke of Xian is indeed very lucky to marry such a princess of the county.
Born into a noble family, with precious status, strong speech, and beautiful appearance, so many advantages can be combined in one person, if it is not for the great blessing, he can let Yan Jinqiu get it
What's more, many people knew the emperor's original plan. He specially arranged marriage as a matchmaker to find a salt-free girl. How could they know that the rumors were not true. Not because of looks.
It seems that some people have said over the years that the daughter-in-law of the Nie An Marquis has a good-looking appearance, and it is only because of physical discomfort that she does not appear in social situations. But not many of them believed it, they only thought that these words were spread by the Yi'an Marquis to protect their girl's face.
Today, they all understand a truth, that is, seeing is believing and hearing is false, and it is not necessarily the truth that the minority obeys the majority.
undercurrent
Halfway through the birthday banquet, Hua Xiwan had almost eaten. She took the opportunity to look at the members of the royal family and found that these people, whether male or female, all had good looks. Beauty is also dignified and can not pick out the slightest flaw.
Just like sitting there, it makes people feel an aura unique to the nobles. This is like when she acted in a previous life, people of different classes had to speak and behave differently, and even her inner temperament had to change with the changes in the environment. These things come down to one thing called acting, called aura.
After several generations of the dynasty, even if the first-generation emperors were average in appearance, after several generations of beautiful concubines, concubines and friends, it was normal for their appearance level to be higher than the average.
"This is the first time Princess Xianjun sees the family banquet in the palace. Is there anything you are not used to?" The queen sat on the phoenix seat, saw Hua Xiwan stop her chopsticks, and asked with a smile, "Everyone present is us. Family, you can say anything you are not used to, everyone will understand you."
The Queen's words were a little subtle. Hua Xiwan saw that some of the royal family's expressions were wrong, so she got up and said with a blessing: "Thank you for the empress's concern, the banquet was very good, and my niece is not used to it." If it's not comfortable, it's not used to it, it's really called death.
Queen Wenyan nodded with relief, "You'll get used to it. This palace sees that you like the dish with fairy scattered flowers, so I asked the palace attendant to serve you another dish. If you like it, try it as much as you like."
"My niece has thanked the Empress," Hua Xiwan felt that the eyes of some female relatives around her were falling on her. Her smile was a little flattered, and she was a little overwhelmed by the Empress's attention.
Seeing this, some smart female relatives withdrew their gazes. The Princess Xian was still too young, and she really took the Queen's current behavior as a good intention. If the Princess Xian didn't take good care of her, she really wasn't suitable for the royal family. this place.
The queen glanced at the people under the seat, and after saying a few words to Hua Xiwan warmly, she let her sit down, but she looked down on Hua Xiwan two points in her heart. The other female relatives must know how to answer not to offend her, and not to attract jealousy from others. Hua Xiwan took this special so dryly. The Marquis of Yi An really raised a good daughter.
The emperor didn't seem to notice the queen's calculations, but instead encouraged Yan Jinqiu a few words, so that everyone present could see that he attached great importance to Yan Jinqiu, and then he was satisfied to listen to other people's flattery to him.
I heard that the emperor was a very bold and ambitious emperor in the first few years of his enthronement, but now in Hua Xiwan's eyes, he is just a mediocre emperor who is a little old, wary, likes to listen to good things, and values luxury.
The supreme power can easily make people lose their way. Emperor Qilong has long lost the courage and skill when he won the throne. He is more like an old man holding gold. Whoever passes by him is stealing gold in his eyes. people.
A person who has been high for too long and whose nature is not firm is prone to arrogance, always thinking that he is the ultimate winner, and looking at others with a complacency that even he himself is not easily aware of.
If Emperor Qilong wasn't so complacent and spent more time investigating the matter of the Marquis of Yi'an, he might not have put her together with Duke Xian. The way the queen looked at herself just now was the same. Probably in too many people's imaginations, most beautiful women have no brains, so the queen looked down on her subconsciously.
She never worried that others would look down on her, but she was afraid that someone would look down on her.
"Your Majesty?" Hou found that Yan Boyi had just glanced at Hua Xiwan, with the same smile on his face, poured him a glass of wine and put it to his mouth, "I heard that this wine is only so small per table. Hu, you are a good wine person, don't miss it. If you have passed this village, there is no such shop. "
He took the wine glass and drank all the wine in it, Yan Boyi said indifferently: "Although good wine is rare, it is not impossible to find it everywhere, it is just a fresh taste."
"Your Majesty is right," Mr. Hou took the empty wine glass and never poured him this kind of wine again.
"I think the daughters-in-law of Ai's family are all good, with good looks and good temperament," the queen mother said at this time. After she said this, she looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you think so?"
"What the Queen Mother said is very true," the emperor put down the glass and responded to the Queen Mother's words.
"Well," the queen mother nodded with satisfaction, and then praised the daughters-in-law of several grandchildren, but when she mentioned the princess, she only said "dignified and steady", and nothing else.
The prince and the princess have been married for nearly a year, but there has been no good news. For this reason, the queen can't sit still and arranges two princes, Liangdi, for the prince. Unfortunately, there is no news of these three famous women. As for the other women who had been played by the prince, there was no good news at all, which made both the queen and the emperor anxious.
The prince is incompetent and faint, and the emperor has no other children under his lap, so he naturally looks forward to having more children under his lap. Who knows that the prince works very hard, and who knows that it is only watering but not sowing.
The princess looked a little embarrassed. The other female relatives appeared with her husband, but because the prince left first, she had to rush over alone. Now the queen mother is not very satisfied with her in her words, which makes her even more embarrassed. .
Looking at the ignorant and ignorant prince beside her, she lowered her head with a wry smile, what if she became a princess, what hope would she have in her life to marry such a man
The relationship between the three most noble women in the three generations was not so harmonious. Although most of the female relatives present could not observe it, some people still saw that something was wrong. For example, the Queen Mother did not show any respect to the Queen this year. Princess Qinghe, who was always on the lookout for the Queen, did not show up due to illness. The only person in the entire Princess Mansion who appeared at the banquet was Princess Minhui, who was very close to Princess Duanhe.
Although Hua Xiwan didn't know much about some things about the royal family, she felt that the royal family was really messed up like a pot of porridge. There is a saying that is good, that is, the most unruly place in the world is not the countryside, but the royal family.
"Have you eaten yet?" Yan Jinqiu said in a low voice, seeing that Hua Xiwan had been silent, "We will use some things when the banquet is over."
Hua Xiwan smiled and said, "I'm full, are you raising me like a pig?"
"Pigs don't get such good treatment," Yan Jinqiu joked, "I can't find such a good-looking pig in the world."
"Maybe in the eyes of pigs, those of us who don't have long hair on our bodies and walk on two legs are ugly people," Hua Xiwan yawned while covering the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said lazily: "A lot of hairy people Animals are more lovable."
"Like a mouse?"
Hua Xiwan: "..."
"I thought normal people would think of cats and dogs," Hua Xiwan looked out at Yan Jinqiu with her chin resting on her hand, "at least cats and dogs have a lot of hair on their tails, how much hair can a mouse have on their tails?"
The conversation between the two gradually deviated from the main point. When Yan Jinqiu saw Hua Xiwan mention cats and dogs, "Why don't you ask someone to find you a docile and obedient kitten?"
"Forget it, cats and dogs are creatures that need to be raised with affection. I'm worried that I can't do it forever or that I can't accept them to leave first. It's better not to raise them," Hua Xiwan bluntly refused, "Without hope, there will be no disappointment. It is the most ruthless way to give the other party two points of affection and indifference to take it back."
After Yan Jinqiu listened, he glanced at her and didn't mention the cat and dog thing again. At this moment, a royal female relative in a long water-colored dress suddenly asked, "Has Princess Xianjun ever heard rumors about you outside?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quite quiet.
princess
Someone actually asked such a question at a palace banquet. Is this embarrassing Princess Xianjun or embarrassing the emperor who facilitated their marriage? No matter what the outside rumors are like, the emperor "doesn't know". He gave the marriage as an elder for the fatherless Prince Xian. If everyone in the royal family knew about those rumors, wouldn't it be a clear accusation? The emperor randomly refers to marriage
Hua Xiwan raised her head to look at the person who was speaking. It was a fair-skinned and slightly plump woman in Chinese clothes. The golden hairpins on her temples shone dazzlingly, making this woman look extravagant.
"Mrs. Liyao is talking about those words that the prince of the county treats his concubines well?" Hua Xiwan said with a shy face, "The prince of the county treats his concubines very well indeed."
The woman's husband, Uncle Jingping, was a county king. After three generations, he only managed to keep an earl title. It was because his son was widely used by the emperor that the emperor raised him from the third-class uncle to the first-class uncle. This family can only be regarded as a declining royal family. Compared with the prominence of the Xianjun Wangfu, the golden hairpin on the temples of Mrs. Jingping looks a bit vulgar. Even that style is from a few years ago. , but also to fuse the golden hairpins to make new tricks, and reward them to the cheeky maids to play with.
Mrs. Jingping did not expect that Hua Xiwan was responding to this rumor. She opened her mouth and wanted to say that it was not the case, but she saw that the expressions of everyone around were a little weird, even those who came close to the mansion. She winked at herself frequently. Even if she was unwilling, she couldn't keep asking.
There is no shortage of brainless people in this world, even the royal family. Hua Xiwan saw that Mrs. Jingping had died down, and was too lazy to care about her on this occasion. Instead, as if nothing had happened, she smiled at the people who were looking at her, and lowered her head.
This smile made many people take a deep breath, and some men who valued women's lust even thought, if Hua Xiwan smiled at her alone, I'm afraid that no matter what they were asked to do, they would be willing.
"Drink a cup of Xiaoshi tea to nourish the stomach," Yan Jinqiu lifted up his large sleeve robe, reached out and poured tea for Hua Xiwan, also covering most of his eyes from this direction. This action is done smoothly, the tea draws a beautiful arc in the air, and pours it into the cup accurately, without a drop of water splashing out.
Hua Xiwan picked up the teacup, although the tea was still steaming, but the cup was held in her hand, but there was a faint coolness, she took a sip, put down the teacup, and looked outside the palace: "It's getting late. "It's her sleep time now.
Yan Jinqiu suddenly knew what Hua Xiwan was thinking, and whispered in her ear: "It will be over soon."
Hua Xiwan smiled and tilted her head without a trace, keeping her ears away from Yan Jinqiu's lips.
Yan Jinqiu looked at the hollow beaded earrings hanging on Hua Xiwan's ears, and poured himself a glass of wine with a smile.
As expected by Yan Jinqiu, after two incense sticks, the three most influential people in the palace quickly left one after another. Now that the main lord has left, the accompanying guests didn't sit for a while, and they all got up and said their goodbyes.
Just when Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu were about to get into the carriage, a servant holding a sandalwood box came hurriedly and knelt in front of them: "I have seen the prince of Xian County, the princess of Xian County, the servant is Yang Neng, the servant of the imperial palace, The Crown Princess saw you right away, so I ordered a slave to bring you a gadget for Princess Xianjun."
During the whole banquet, except for the first meeting between them, where did they meet each other
Hua Xiwan looked at the beaded sandalwood box in front of her, nodded and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is so polite, and the ministers and women are frightened."
Yang Neng saw that Hua Xiwan didn't show a particularly surprised expression because the Crown Princess treated her differently, so she guessed that this Princess Xianjun was not a very smart woman, but she could be considered stable. He handed the box to Bai Xia, Hua Xiwan's personal maid, and bowed in a salute: "Prince Concubine has already said that before instructing the slave to do things, it is rare to have a confidant, and it is the greatest blessing to be able to meet you at the first sight of Princess Princess. The gadgets are nothing but dead things to be played with, not worth mentioning."
Since the other party made up his mind to bring things over, Hua Xiwan didn't insist, and after a few polite words with the servant named Yang Neng, stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage.
The carriage left the gate of the palace, Hua Xiwan didn't even look at the contents in the sandalwood box, and said with disgust, "When you go back, lock it up for me, don't mention it before me." Although Yang Neng is a prince concubine, but She was sure that the person who sent the things was not the Crown Princess, but someone else.
Giving her something in front of Yan Jinqiu, is he looking down on Yan Jinqiu or disgusting her
Hua Xiwan held the jade bracelet on her wrist to calm her mind a little, and said in a low voice, "Dog thing."
Yan Jinqiu put his hand on the back of her hand and said with a chuckle, "It's not just a piece of shit." He's still a piece of shit.
He lifted the curtains and looked out. The carriage had entered the noisy main road of the capital. The bustling crowd on the side of the street gave people a scene of prosperity in the world.
"Does it look good outside?"
Yan Jinqiu looked back and saw Hua Xiwan leaning against the cushion lazily. Although she asked outside, there was no hint of curiosity on her face.
"His, griefs, and joys are all there in life," Yan Jinqiu put down the curtain and said suddenly, "Has Xiwan ever thought about reading the thoughts of these people seriously?"
Hua Xiwan was lying on her back on the cushion, disapproving of Yan Jinqiu's question: "Look at the side of the mountain as a peak, the distance and height are different. I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, it's just because I'm in this mountain, Jinqiu appreciates this poem. What do you think?"
Yan Jinqiu's eyes changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "What does Xiwan mean by this?"
Hua Xiwan adjusted her posture and continued to say lazily: "That's what the poem means, I'm just one of the many people, I can't even see myself, why would I even think about seeing others?"
"Xiwan is simple and straightforward," Yan Jinqiu stared into her eyes, "So, has Xiwan ever thought that standing at the highest point to see the scenery is extraordinarily different?"
"It's different, the mountains are high and the wind is strong," Hua Xiwan yawned and half-squinted her eyes, "If you go to the view next time, prepare thick clothes for me, so that I won't be cold or let me I'm hungry, it's okay if I accompany you to see it."
Yan Jinqiu looked at Hua Xiwan, who had closed his eyes and rested, with a complicated expression. After a while, he smiled: "You are the closest woman in my life, how could I be willing to make you suffer??"
Hua Xiwan's eyelids moved, but they didn't open.
The carriage continued to move forward, and while swaying, Hua Xiwan gradually fell asleep.
In the womb, the prince looked impatiently at the old imperial doctor who checked his pulse: "Please ask for the pulse every day, it's useless to look at it alone."
The imperial doctor took two steps back and knelt on the ground after hearing the words: "His Royal Highness, your liver is weak and spleen is deficient, so it is really not suitable for you to drink alcohol, today..."
"Okay, how is Gu's body, Gu's heart is clear," the prince stood up and looked gloomily at the old imperial doctor who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, "You don't need to say more, just step back."
The old imperial doctor wanted to persuade him again, but when he raised his head and saw that the prince looked unsightly, he endured it again. The prince is now at a strong and strong age, but he has higher requirements in certain aspects, but if it is for the sake of his descendants, he should cultivate himself, drink less alcohol, and avoid alcohol. Excessive sex. But the prince is stubborn, how could he be able to persuade such a person
After leaving the inner room, the old imperial doctor saw that the princess was walking towards this side with several palace attendants. Before the ceremony was finished, she was supported by the attendant beside the princess.
"He Yuyi doesn't have to be so polite, how is the prince's body?" Compared with the prince's rudeness, the prince's concubine seemed approachable and gentle, "Is there any improvement?"
He Yuyi heard the words and said, "Go back to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. Although His Royal Highness is only about twenty now, the time is just right. If you can drink less alcohol, it will be more beneficial to your descendants."
After listening to these words, the crown princess smiled and let people send He Yuyi out, but sighed in her heart, the prince is already like this, because the prince ignored her behavior several times, she has long been in the palace of the prince. How can I persuade the prince to change his attitude when he loses his dignity in front of a woman
no wonder
After Emperor Qilong's longevity, rumors about Hua Xiwan soon spread out in Beijing.
It is said that Princess Xianjun never went out to meet foreign guests before she left the court. It was really because of her poor health, not other reasons. In fact, this Princess Xianjun was so beautiful that when she appeared at the saint's longevity ceremony, many people were even dumbfounded.
As soon as these rumors spread through the nobles' mouths, many people said that they had long thought that Princess Xianjun could not be a saltless woman, otherwise, why wouldn't the Marquis of Yi'an be in a hurry to cover it up
People who had relatives working in the Nie An Hou Mansion immediately raised their eyebrows. In the past, they said that Miss Washington was beautiful, but no one believed them. Instead, they said they were flattering the Hou Mansion. Now the nobles say that Princess Xianjun is a great beauty. Those who spread rumors in the past suddenly disappeared, and many people who "knew" appeared overnight.
The noble families who had planned to propose marriage to the Marquis of Yi'an had long since regretted it because of the hesitation of leaving a message outside. There are several generations of marquis in the Hua family, and the two elder brothers of Hua Xiwan are both competitive. My dear, that couldn't be better. As a result, they wasted this good opportunity all their lives, allowing King Xian to get this big advantage.
At this time, there are some who say sour words, some who are envious and jealous, and there are even people who sow discord in front of the two sisters-in-law of Lu's family. A sister-in-law is willing to marry such a niece to the royal family.
Although the Lu family has a straight personality, it does not mean that they have no brains. If the Lu family had no brains, how could their ancestors dispatch troops to fight the world with Emperor Yuan? Those who are good at the art of war naturally have a smart head and a long-term vision, how can they have a quarrel with their relatives because of such a provocative method
The two female relatives of the Lu family are also open-minded and protective of their shortcomings. After hearing others provoke right and wrong, they directly said that their Lu family's niece married the king of Xianjun was a match made in heaven.
I didn't mention anything else, but gradually reduced my contacts with these people.
Xianjun Wangfu.
After reading the letter Lu wrote to her, Hua Xiwan folded the letter for Bai Xia to put away. She walked to the window, looked at the bright sun outside the window, and frowned, "It's getting hotter today."
Zishan was lighting a mosquito-smoked incense ball in the golden beast furnace, and after hearing it, she said, "If Princess Princess feels hot, ask Sister Hongying to make crushed pulp for you. She is the best at this."
Hua Xiwan sat down softly on the soft couch by the window. She felt that the sitting position was still uncomfortable, so she simply lay down on the soft couch and pressed her face against the cold brocade, which finally made her feel more comfortable. : "It's fine."
When Hongying heard the words, she stopped what she was doing, smiled at Hua Xiwan, blessed her body, and was ready to take people to the ice cellar to get ice.
"Make a few more bowls, and you will try them later," Hua Xiwan added lazily, then took the soft pillow handed over by Bai Xia and placed it under her, resting on her side with her left hand on her chin, and her right index finger. Lightly tapped his legs and said unhurriedly, "Lvzhu, have you cleared out those shop account books that I brought with my dowry?"
"It has already been calculated, and I made a lot of profit this month." Luzhu pulled out a few stacks of account books from the wooden box. Seeing that Hua Xiwan had no intention of looking at the account books, she gave Hua Xiwan the general situation. said it again.
"These shops are prosperous shops on the street, and it's normal for them to make a lot of money," Hua Xiwan casually flipped through the jewelry shop's account book. "These veteran craftsmen should still be taken care of. You remember to tell the steward below that everyone who works in my shop is working in my shop. For more than 15 years to half a hundred years, those who have made no mistakes and are serious about their work can receive half-money in addition to their wages every month. If they are unwilling to work again at that time and are going to go home to recuperate, they can also go to the shop to receive half-money every quarter. Living allowance. But if someone tells outsiders about the internal affairs of the shop, don't think that the owner is merciless."
Due to the limitations of medical conditions, the average life expectancy of today's people is not high, and those who can live to the age of 50 are already considered to be strong and long-lived. Hua Xiwan is not afraid of the bold promise she made.
Lu Zhu was stunned at first when he heard the words, and then realized that Princess Princess was trying to keep useful craftsmen, and said, "The servant will let the steward do it well." This seems simple, but the operation is very easy. Let people take advantage of the loopholes. Fortunately, with the identity of the princess, some regulations have to be implemented, and those workers will also believe in the promises made by the shop.
After all, how many employees can, after half a hundred years, be able to spend half a quarter of money on white-collar workers because of their love for working in their old employers
Throwing the account book aside, Hua Xiwan continued to lie back on the soft couch: "I'll sleep for a while, and call me later."
Seeing this, Bai Xia sat on the foot of the soft couch and shook the fan gently. Luzhu and Zishan put away the things at hand, lightly exited the inner room, and let the servant girls who were waiting in the outer room relax their steps before leaving the bedroom.
"Through the management of Princess Princess, the income of the shop has improved a lot in the past two months." After following Hua Xiwan for many years, Lu Zhu still feels that she still can't figure out Princess Princess' temperament. He is obviously a very smart person, but he always looks lazy. Obviously she was born as the direct daughter of the Hou family, and she should be a noble girl whose ten fingers do not touch the spring water, but after looking at the account book, you can find that the steward is making a profit from it, and she is quite proficient in property.
Thinking of this, she recalled that Princess Princess said that a woman must have a lazy but clear demeanor without money, "If Princess Princess is willing to participate in those poetry clubs and noble girls' polo clubs these years, it will be the first in Beijing. The name of a noble lady…”
Realizing that she had said too much, Lu Zhu hurriedly shut her mouth, and she breathed a sigh of relief when no one passed by in the corridor.
Seeing her like this, Zishan scolded with a smile: "I told you to talk nonsense, Princess Princess is someone who has ideas, we just do things according to Princess Princess's instructions, why do you say those useless things."
"You're right, I'm thinking too much," Lu Zhuchao Zishan was blessed, thanked her for reminding her, she glanced at the carved courtyard, and smiled lightly: "I lost my mind for a while, and I forgot that this was the case. where is it?"
Zishan stood and allowed her to do this salute to herself before returning half of the salute: "Fortunately you know, otherwise even if I remind you, it would be useless." Although Princess Princess is lazy and has a good temperament, But once angry, no one can stop it, and it is useless for anyone to intercede.
When Yan Jinqiu entered the main courtyard, he saw that Hua Xiwan was sleeping soundly. There was only one Bai Xia in the room who was playing with a fan. outside.
Seeing him come in, Bai Xia stood up and blessed him silently.
Yan Jinqiu nodded, took off his soft silk robe, took the fan from her hand, sat on the edge of the couch and shook the fan for Hua Xiwan, and said in a low voice, "It's been getting hot recently, so you are serving them. You have to be careful.”
"Please rest assured, Lord of the County, the servants will serve you with all your heart," Bai Xia glanced at the soft couch, making sure that their conversation would not affect Hua Xiwan's rest, and then continued to speak with confidence, "The Princess of the County is suffering from summer, and the room is always in the room. Wearing ice is not good for the body, so the Princess Princess likes to stay in a cool and ventilated place before leaving the court.
"
Yan Jinqiu looked at Hua Xiwan's slender arms and smiled, such a slender person actually suffers in summer.
Bai Xia glanced at the two of them and backed out silently. Seeing that Hongying came in with an ice bowl, she reached out to stop her and led her out of the house.
"Princess Princess is resting," Bai Xia smiled, pointing at the ice bowl in her hand, "Let's share this good thing among our sisters."
Hongying glanced at Bai Xia inexplicably. Sister Bai Xia seems to be in a good mood? She looked back at the bedroom suspiciously, and even Bai Xia came out of the inner room. Could it be that the prince of the county is back? Thinking of this, she shoved the ice bowl into Bai Xia's hand, "Sister Bai Xia has worked hard, this bowl of good food is up to you to taste."
"Pfft," Bai Xia chuckled while holding the ice bowl, and was about to speak, but when she looked up, she saw Mu Tong hurried towards this side. Seeing the two of them guarding the door, she also guessed that Princess Princess was resting. Anxious, and worried about disturbing the rest of the prince and princess, they had to keep spinning in front of Bai Xia and Hongying.
"Mr. Mu, what are you doing?" Hongying smiled at Mu Tong's appearance, "But what's the matter?"
Mu Tong looked at the maidservants reused by the two princesses in front of him, and sighed, "You two girls, you just came to report that the princess of Linping has already entered the capital. If you two are free, can you tell me about it for me."
"Eunuch Mu, you're welcome, wait a moment." Hongying was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted. Isn't Linping County Lord the first sister of the County Prince? She was about to turn around and enter the room to report, when she turned around and saw the prince of the county walking back with an expressionless face.
"What does the panic look like?" Hearing Mu Tong mentioning his elder sister, Yan Jinqiu said lightly, without a hint of joy on his face, "The princess is resting in the inner room, don't wake her up."
When Mu Tong heard the words, the anxious expression on his face disappeared immediately, and he knelt down in front of Yan Jinqiu, "The little one has lost his sense, please punish the prince of the county."
"Get up and answer," Yan Jinqiu frowned slightly, "Linping County Master has been in Jiangcheng for several years, why did he suddenly return to Beijing?"
"Little I heard that the emperor's secret Zhaojun Ma entered the capital, so the county master returned to Beijing with the county horse," Mu Tong stood up and bowed, "When Xiao heard the news, the county master and the county horse had already entered the capital. already."
Yan Jinqiu listened to Mu Tong expressionlessly, and lowered his eyes slightly: "In that case, let her go."
Bai Xia and Hongying had bowed their heads and retreated to the corner early. When they heard this conversation, they felt strange in their hearts. Two months ago, the prince of the county and the princess of the county got married, but the prince of Linping did not come back. At this time, he came to the capital silently, and he didn't even tell the prince's mansion. The relationship between the two siblings did not seem to be that close.
The two exchanged glances, pressed down the thoughts in their hearts, and only regarded themselves as a transparent person who would not stop and think.
In the royal family, even the biological fathers and sons can kill each other, not to mention the siblings.
Although the world is big, only the royal family is full of wonders.
say and do
"Linping County Master?" Hua Xiwan was playing with a box of fine pearls, and after listening to Hongying's words, she slowly threw the pearls in her hand into the box, "Didn't she marry to Jiangcheng four years ago? "I heard that this county owner is not married to an aristocratic family, but a student with a wealth of wealth who went to Beijing to take the exam. After the palace test, this student took the tenth place in the top two. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is already a glorious ancestor, but in the capital with many aristocratic families, there are such people every three years. There is nothing special, let them see more The two eyes are also the top few.
However, although this Jiangcheng-born student's grades are not particularly conspicuous, but with a good pair of leather bags and a few good poems, the Linping County Lord of Xianwang's Mansion has taken a fancy to him and wants to marry him. This is more than anyone else. Not good luck.
The twists and turns are not clear to outsiders, but Hua Xiwan remembers it very well. Back then, this matter was lively in the capital for a while, and it was not until a few months after Linping County Lord married Jiangcheng that no one mentioned it again. However, now the Linping county master is returning to Beijing with the county horse child, I am afraid that the things of the past will be brought up again by the good ones. Hua Xiwan lowered her head, looked at the box full of beautiful pearls, and said casually, "Since the prince of the county said that you don't need to worry about this, you don't need to ask more."
Four years ago, the old King Xian was still ill. The Lord of Linping County could insist on marrying Jiangcheng, which is not close to the capital. It can be seen how much he values that county horse. I am afraid that the younger brother of Prince Xian will not be able to match her husband. .
"Slave province," Hongying put away the pearl box and brought the hot tea to Hua Xiwan, "The slave is worried that the Linping County Lord will make things difficult for you when he returns to Beijing this time." Married women are most afraid of encountering a tricky mother-in-law. , Difficult sister-in-law, if this happens to one of them, it will be a bad thing.
"What is she doing to make things difficult for me?" Hua Xiwan picked up the teacup, blew the heat on the water gently, and took a slow sip before saying, "My family has a deep relationship with me than my mother's family, and they will love and protect me; Compared with the family of the marriage, the Xianjun Wangfu is much more famous than the Jiangcheng He family, you say, what am I afraid of her?"
Don't say that Yan Jinqiu and Linping County Master have a bad relationship, even if their sister and brother have a deep relationship, if the other party deliberately makes things difficult for her, she will not compromise. Her parents raised her for more than ten years, not to let her live a useless life in Xianjun Wang's mansion. Even if she can stand this useless temper, she can't stand it. If other people think that the daughters of the Hua family are all this useless and weak It's her fault.
Seeing that her master was confident, Hongying let go of the worries in her heart, and now she felt that she was not calm enough, and she didn't even think about this level.
"I know you guys are worried about me," Hua Xiwan put down her teacup and smiled at Hongying and Baixia, "With you around, I'll feel more at ease."
Hongying and Baixia said that they did not dare, but they were relieved. At least the princess would not think that they were troublesome, but instead wrote down their loyalty.
"Prince Princess, Prince County has returned to the mansion and is heading towards the main courtyard." Zishan walked in from outside, seeing that Bai Xia and Hongying looked a little wrong, and lowered their eyes to be blessed, "Prince Princess, slave and maidservant. I heard that the county prince didn't look very good when he returned to the mansion."
Hearing this, Hua Xiwan raised her eyebrows slightly, "He doesn't look good and won't take us out. If there is anything to worry about, you can serve it as you please."
Zishan opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word. It was clear that Princess Princess's words were correct, but she always felt that something was wrong.
As soon as Yan Jinqiu entered the gate of the main courtyard, he saw a lot of girls surrounded by the courtyard. His princess princess was wearing a loose robe.
