Hearing the chatter and laughter of the prince and princess coming from inside the car, Mu Tong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, straightened his sleeves and squinted at the carriage slowly approaching in front of him, as if it were a guard of honor for the county master
Not long after, the carriage in front stopped, and a well-dressed old lady stepped forward and saluted: "The old slave, on behalf of the county master, greets the prince and princess."
Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu were talking about the rise, and they noticed that the carriage was slowing down, and they were a little curious when they suddenly heard the voice of an old woman from outside, frowning slightly, which county master behaved like this , as if it hit it on purpose.
"My lord, my princess, ahead is the driver of the county master Minhui." Mu Tong reminded softly outside.
"Minhui County Master?" Hua Xiwan glanced at Yan Jinqiu with a half-smile, isn't that the talented and virtuous County Master who came to "make trouble in the bridal chamber" on the wedding night? She stretched out her index finger and gently scratched Yan Jinqiu's Adam's apple, "Your Highness and Princess Minhui really have a fate."
Yan Jinqiu smiled and grabbed her hand, bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand: "The old lady who sells tea eggs on the street sets up a stall around the corner every morning, and my car drives past her every day. Am I more connected to her?"
"Smooth tongue," Hua Xiwan took a light bite on his wrist, and then raised the curtain of the car and said softly, "Minhui County Master doesn't have to be so polite, they are all brothers and sisters, so why do you need these modesty."
The old mama didn't dare to look up, saluted properly, and withdrew to the side with the honor guard of the county master. After the car of Prince Xian's mansion passed by, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although Princess Xian had a smile on her face just now, she sensed an indescribable majesty, probably this was the aura of a superior.
After the old mama came back, Princess Minhui called her into the carriage and asked softly, "There have been so many affairs recently, how is King Xian looking good?"
The old mama stiffened slightly, then knelt down in front of the county master Minhui and said, "Please forgive the county master. When the old slave went to the ceremony, he didn't see Prince Xian."
The Princess Minhui frowned slightly. Mammy was the nanny next to him. She used to greet King Bi Xian, but King Xian was always very polite, so why didn't she even show her face this time.
Sensing that Princess Minhui was thinking too far, she hurriedly explained, "Master, this old servant only saw Princess Xian, and she also said that her sisters don't need to be more polite."
"Princess Xian?" Princess Minhui sighed secretly, "I see." Princess Xian can now speak on behalf of King Xian, which shows the position of the other party in King Xian's heart, what else can she think of
You already have a wife, and she is destined to marry someone else. It is useless to think about it. She is like this, but it is just an unstoppable thought in her heart.
"County Lord, don't worry about this anymore," Mammy watched her grow up, and she had no children, so she couldn't help but think more about Princess Minhui, "You can't forget what the Empress said. "
"Mommy, I know," Minhui County Master smiled reluctantly, thinking of King Xian's affection for Princess Xian, and thinking of his mother who was seriously ill, he finally made up his mind.
"It's so cold," Hua Xiwan shuddered when she stepped out of the carriage, but fortunately, Yan Jinqiu quickly put a thick cloak on her, which made her feel better, "Thank you."
Yan Jinqiu stretched out his hand to remove a strand of hair beside her cheek, smiled and hugged the person into his arms, striding into the gate of the palace. The servants who were waiting around him buried their heads and hurriedly followed.
For the aristocratic family, the cold winter is just a little bit more windy and snowy, there are fewer seasonal vegetables, and there is not enough time to go out, but for the poor people, it is a big difference. Fortunately, the first two generations of emperors of the Jokhang Dynasty were not foolish. Although they are a bit stubborn now, they were still very diligent and wise in their first ten years on the throne. Therefore, the people of the Jokhang Dynasty did not suffer in winter, even if some counties and counties. Even in the event of a heavy snow disaster, it can also be treated in time, so that batches of people will not freeze to death.
However, the Kussians in the north were not so good. At this time, they would send envoys to the Jokhao Dynasty to borrow food, and then repay the debt with cattle and sheep. But the people of the Jokhao Dynasty didn't like seeing the Kes very much, because the Kes had fought several times with the Jokhao Dynasty. Fortunately, the main general of the Jokhao was brave and could retreat in time. Honestly come to the capital to worship and borrow food, rather than grabbing it.
But even so, in the frontier, there are still some Kex refugees who attack the frontier towns for food. In recent years, Emperor Qilong established a Bei'an Duhufu in the north for the sake of the stability of the frontier. Robbery by the refugees.
Therefore, when everyone heard that the Kers people had the cheek to come to Jokhao to fight the autumn wind, the storytellers in the teahouses in the capital began to talk about the glorious deeds of the Jokhao Dynasty's victory over the Kers people. The guests were applauded, and even the reward was half as much as usual. It can be seen how patriotic and... gossip people are in the capital.
Gossip is everyone's right, so even in the inner courtyard, Hua Xiwan often finds a female storyteller to tell her anecdotes in the market, or some more bizarre folk rumors, and she lives happily.
So when she heard the Kes people quarreled with several commoners in the Beijing teahouse, she frowned and said, "What happened to those commoners?"
"I was taken away by the people from Weiwei Temple. It is said that each person was hit by five boards, but when everyone came out, they looked good." The storyteller saw that Princess Xian's complexion had softened a lot, and he suddenly understood, I was afraid that This princess is distressed by those few people in the capital, she can't help but sigh with emotion. They all say that the princess has a beautiful appearance. She asked her to say that this person is not only good in appearance, but also has a good heart. This noble lady, no There are a lot of people who put the people in their eyes.
"It's okay, it seems that the people in Weiwei Temple are very important," Hua Xiwan shook her head and sighed, "In this cold winter and twelfth lunar month, the wound heals slowly, and if the injury is too severe, it will not be beautiful."
She didn't talk about the right or wrong of this matter, but she was defending the people of Dazhao, so soon after the storyteller went back, Princess Xian's reputation for being kind-hearted gradually spread. Two days later, someone saw the servants who delivered medicine to the palace outside the injured people's door. Immediately, someone said that King Xian was a person with a high heart and morality, and Princess Xian was the same. No matter in terms of appearance or character, these two were a match made in heaven. It is true that they are immortals. For too.
After hearing the rumors outside, Bai Xia reported to Hua Xiwan with some concern. She knew that the princess was a lazy and indifferent temperament, otherwise, why would she leave the house in the name of being sick for so many years. Now there are many people out there who praise the princess for her kindness. At this critical juncture, isn't she causing trouble for the princess.
Who knew that after she reported it, Hua Xiwan was not surprised at all, she hugged the stove and leaned against the window with a smile: "What is my reputation, there are people outside who say that the princess of Shengjun is virtuous and generous, and the king of Shengjun is fair and selfless. Is it?" She may not have the reputation of Princess Shengjun, but she must not only have the reputation of outstanding appearance, which is not a good thing for her.
The Jokhang Dynasty was not a place where women were not allowed to have the slightest reputation, but highly respected women with talent and virtue. Whoever is a talented girl, whoever is smart and virtuous has a good reputation. When you reach the age of marriage, the threshold of the family may be will be trampled by the matchmaker.
At this point, she is still a little fortunate. Fortunately, she went to a Da Zhao Dynasty that did not exist in history, not the Qing Dynasty in history. Otherwise, the life of a woman would be even more difficult.
When Bai Xia heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized why the princess was doing this. When the county head of Linping went to the palace to make trouble, he once said that the princess was a bad girl. Although the prince didn't care, everyone spoke up , If it is passed on like this by others, it is really not a good thing.
Now that the princess cares about the people of Dazhao, and she has a reputation for being kind-hearted, if you want to say these nasty words, you must look at them carefully, otherwise it will be nonsense and pour sewage on the princess.
Thinking of this, Bai Xia felt a faint dissatisfaction in her heart. The world is really ignorant. When it is rumored that the princess's appearance is worthless, these people often sneer. When they know that the princess is actually beautiful, these people say that the princess is a beauty and a disaster. In fact, what's wrong with a person's appearance, how can one's body become the original sin because of his skin and his parents
Even the emperor can't look down on Jiangshan, and he has to blame women, as if women are in charge of the entire Jiangshan City. Thinking of this, Bai Xia, who has always been calm, couldn't help but say, "These rappers are really hateful."
"There are a lot of hateful people in the world, and there are also a lot of people who talk about me behind my back. If I want to be angry with these, I probably don't need to do anything else in my life, just being angry is enough," Hua Xiwan said with a light smile, "My Good Bai Xia, come and help me see which of these palace costumes is suitable for the New Year's Eve palace banquet?"
"What the princess said is," Bai Xia knew the character of the princess, so she didn't say any more, walked behind Hua Xiwan, and took a closer look at the various palace costumes held in the hands of the maids: "Plain colors are not suitable for this kind of clothes. On occasion, princess, your complexion is fair and tender, and you will look good in any color palace uniform."
"Even if the princess wears only a piece of rag, she looks better than other people," Hongying came over with the ginseng tea, "The maid looks at the crimson flamingo fox neck fur around the edge of the palace dress, it can match your complexion, princess. more beautiful."
Hua Xiwan shook her head: "The prince is not the prince of today, and the poisoning of the prince has not been investigated yet. This color is not suitable."
She looked at it, pointed to a light red palace dress with red lace, and said, "Just this style, let the following people change it well, so that it can't fall into the honor of the palace, but it can't be too extravagant."
The more important the occasion is, the more you should pay attention to your dress. If you want to pay attention to something fresh and simple, you can just play in your own home. If you dare to do this on important occasions, it will not only lose yourself, but also make people feel uncomfortable. It's like everyone else goes to a cocktail party in evening dresses, and you just put on your body and jeans. That's not called individuality, it's called disrespect.
If it was in the past, she would definitely choose the red palace dress, but this time the prince was poisoned, and the two in the palace were in a bad mood. More than a dozen palace attendants had already been killed, and she didn't want to drag herself at this time. hatred.
The so-called death will not die, she is still a pink peach blossom under the age of eighteen, and she doesn't want to play herself in it for no reason.
As for the prince's poisoning, what does it have to do with her
Anyway... the position of this prince is not so secure.
