The day of hairpin hair ceremony is coming soon.
Although she is an adopted daughter, she doesn't need to be as grand as a daughter-in-law, but there is only such a girl in the Zhennan Palace. Ji Ting specially assigned a steward to assist the princess in the hairpin ceremony. Even Princess Yanyang seemed to let go of the unhappiness of the previous days. I deliberately went to the palace to ask for an order, and even invited the empress to be the guest of honor for the hairpin ceremony.
Immediately, no one in the mansion dared to underestimate the little orphan girl, and everyone treated each other solemnly.
How could the princess know what kind of wishful thinking Princess Yanyang was playing, she just thought that this was the end of her suspicions, and she was very happy for a few days. When it was the first day, the princess went to Muhuanxuan early in the morning to dress up Xiao Li herself.
Princess Zhennan comes from the Nandie Gate of Dark Night Valley. The Nandie Gate is famous for its good governance armor, and its needlework is naturally extraordinary. The dress Ji Xiaoli is wearing today was made by the princess herself: the moon yellow skirt is soft and dignified, The skirt is embroidered with large patches of day lily branches and tendrils. The silk thread is specially made, fluttering and swaying with the changes of light, it seems to be real. The little girl has snowy muscles and black hair, her eyes are like autumn water and her lips are like vermilion against the soft yellow clothes.
It was late spring at this time, and in the early morning light, a girl in a refreshing dress stood tall and graceful in front of the dressing table. It really felt like the hibiscus came out of the clear water, and she felt like she was going to carve naturally.
Back then when she was carried back, it was not as big as a pillow. The princess looked at the girl with bright eyebrows in the morning light, and she couldn't help crying.
"Xiao Li, come!" The princess wiped the corners of her eyes, and took out a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with silk from her sleeve. The bright red gem like pigeon blood is as big as a longan's eye, embedded in the body of the phoenix, it is exquisite and gorgeous, it does not look like a folk product at first glance.
Ji Xiaoli's eyes were straightened—that gemstone was radiant, it was hundreds of years old, it must have spirituality, if it was broken off and smashed into alchemy, it would be wonderful!
Seeing her staring at the hairpin with joy in her eyes, the princess sighed softly in her heart, and her tone was even more gentle: "Originally, this hairpin was intended to be used by me as a hairpin ceremony for you, but today's guest of honor is the empress. The jade hairpin Princess Princess prepared it early in the morning. So, you can keep this hairpin. It was found in your infancy when I brought you back. It was probably left to you by your mother... Today you are an adult, she If you know, I will be happy for you."
Hearing that it was left by his biological mother, Xiao Li reluctantly looked away from the gemstone eagerly, and sighed regretfully.
About... I can't dig it down to make alchemy.
"Come on, mother put it on for you. This hairpin will be yours from now on. You have to keep it safe. This is a dowry specially left for you by your mother." The princess carefully put the hairpin into her bun.
After pulling the little girl to look at it for a while, the princess praised her sincerely: "It's so beautiful! We Xiaoli, when we're not mischievous and getting into trouble, we're really a pretty girl!"
Ji Xiaoli blinked her eyes and said honestly: "Then...you are only beautiful when you are sleeping."
The princess was taken aback for a moment, then patted her reproachfully. Aunt Qian, who was married to the concubine, laughed out loud and joked, "Miss is not honest when she sleeps. It's not enough to occupy a bed alone. When I accompany the night, I fall asleep and fall out of bed." There are quite a few times!"
All the maids and women serving in the room covered their mouths and laughed, Xiao Li scratched his bangs with a smile on his face.

The sky was bright, the central door of Zhennan Prince's Mansion was wide open, and the guests, relatives and friends who came to congratulate them arrived one after another. As soon as Chen Shi arrived outside, there was a commotion, it was the empress's car that had arrived.
The current empress is the niece of the emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Cixiao. Both of them belong to one of the most noble families in Daye, the Song family. Princess Yanyang is the eldest daughter of Empress Dowager Cixiao, and Empress Dowager is her direct sister-in-law. Therefore, Princess Zhennan and all the concubines knelt down to greet the queen, but Yan Yang went out to welcome her. As soon as she was blessed, the queen mother stretched out her hand to support her.
Yan Yang helped the queen with a smile, "The queen's sister-in-law is really timely!"
"The young lady of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is going to give the hairpin gift, how dare I come late?" The queen kindly ordered the ladies to stand up without ceremony, while joking about her sister-in-law.
Princess Yanyang covered her sleeves and smiled, and said to Princess Zhennan, "Sister, since the guest of honor has arrived, shall we begin?"
Princess Zhennan said yes softly, and ordered someone to go to the back to ask the young lady to come out and salute.
When Ji Xiaoli came out, she was supported by Aunt Qian. She moved lightly with lotus steps, and her figure was like a willow. The bright yellow skirt set off her black hair and snowy face, and her gesture of kneeling and saluting to the empress was also elegant and respectful. The wives of each family were a little surprised: I heard that the adopted daughter of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was absurd and rude, but seeing it with my own eyes today, she is obviously a dignified lady!
Those who have nephews and nephews who are married at the right age in the family all have a look of excitement in their eyes.
Princess Yanyang proudly cast a look at Princess Zhennan, and the princess was also smiling with joy.
The empress of that chamber had already put a jade hairpin on Xiaoli's hairpin, and said a few words, "When you stand in a bun, you think about the righteousness of your heart; when you put on the temples, you think about the integrity of your heart", and signaled the palace servants to help the girl on the ground up. —It's time to offer a female worker.
A girl with a hairpin is a big girl to be married, and according to the custom, she should offer a female worker's work that she does herself. The princess had already prepared a sachet embroidered with magnolia flowers for Xiao Li, and put it in her sleeve with thousands of reminders.
Xiao Li reached out and took it out, and the palace servant presented it in front of the empress.
The empress picked up the sachet with a smile on her face, glanced at the pattern on the sachet, and said softly "Huh?": "This...you embroidered it?" The slender fingers that were well maintained caressed the auspicious cloud pattern, Feeling something strange under his fingers, he asked again: "What's on your head?"
Xiao Li looked up and said "Yeah" in surprise. He hurriedly turned up his sleeves and took out a sachet of magnolia flowers. He said regretfully, "No, no! I took it wrong, it should be this one!"
The queen smiled, holding the black sachet embroidered with auspicious clouds pattern in gold thread, and beckoning to Xiaoli in a friendly manner: "Come on, get up and come to this palace—is this sachet yours?"
Ji Xiaoli nodded honestly and replied: "It was given to me by the National Teacher when I was five years old, and told me to open it ten years later."
She pestered the princess to ask for this sachet last night, the princess was so pestered by her that she had no choice but to take it out and gave it to her, and ordered her close maid to put it away for her. Xiao Li clearly remembered that it was stored in the dowry box on the dressing table, but how could it get into her sleeve
"When you were five years old... that was Master Xian Guoshi." The empress said thoughtfully, and handed the sachet to her with her own hands, smiling: "I respect Master Xian Guoshi." I have been reminiscing for many years, and today I have the chance to meet his relics, and I really want to see them."
Ji Xiaoli didn't see Princess Yanyang's frowning and restraining wink, and said straightforwardly and generously that it's okay, I'll see you soon!
She opened the sachet, only a piece of paper inside.
The old master's handwritten book is like flowing clouds and flowing water, vigorous and powerful: "Peaches and plums."
The queen empress took the yellowed white tissue paper in her hand, pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and raised the paper and said to everyone: "Peach and plum blossoms in the east of the capital will be full of flowers in ten years. Your Excellency is really well-intentioned. This girl is really blessed, not only does I have a hairpin for her, but even the Master Xianguo has favored her, and she is now under the family!"
All the ladies couldn't figure it out, so they agreed with He Xi in a daze. Princess Yanyang understood a little, but she was not very satisfied: "The teacher of the first country has gone to ride the crane fairy, how can Xiao Li come to worship under him? Besides, a girl, what is the teacher for?"
Hurry up and let her get married and get out of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is the right thing to do!
"It doesn't matter, our national teacher was taught by the former national teacher, and his cultivation base is also profound." The queen said with a smile.
Princess Yanyang didn't expect this. She was stunned when Princess Zhennan knelt down and begged the queen softly: "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Mr. Guoshi is young and promising, but now he is only a weak crown. At my age, it is really inappropriate to go to the National Teacher's Mansion to learn from a teacher... Please think again, my lady."
"Princess," the empress smiled softly, "This is not what I mean. How about it, Xiaoli, I ask you: Would you like to go to the National Teacher's Mansion to learn from a teacher?"
The concubine's heart tightened, and before she could raise her head to wink at her adoptive daughter, she heard the girl's clear and clear voice happily replying: "Go, I'll go!"
The empress nodded with a smile.
Princess Zhennan knelt on the ground with an expression of not knowing what to do.
Princess Yanyang was half suspicious and half angry, and her complexion was not good.
All the noble ladies in the room looked at each other, trying to see from the eyes of each other which song was being sung here.
Only Ji Xiaoli stood there happily, with an excited face, as if he would become a fairy tomorrow.

The news that the wild girl was going to the National Teacher's Mansion to learn from her teacher and practice Taoism spread all over the Zhennan Palace like wings.
Ji Bei was the first to come to the door, and that night he rushed into the Huanhuanxuan, jumped up and shouted: "Ji Xiaoli! Come out to me!"
At that time, Ji Xiaoli was instructing her maids to clean up her alchemy stove and medicine jars, when she heard Ji Bei's voice so angry, she hurriedly said: "You guys guard my things here, I will go out to block him, but I can't let you He comes in!" Ji Bei threatened to smash her elixir stove every time he got angry.
Sure enough, when she ran out, Ji Bei was about to come in angrily, Xiao Li quickly blocked the door with his hands open: "You are not allowed to go in and smash my stove!"
Ji Bei stretched out his hand and poked her on the forehead forcefully: "Master, I want to smash your head right now!"
Ji Xiaoli was shocked.
The little girl's frightened eyes were round and cute. Ji Bei lost half of his anger. He grabbed her hair and said bitterly, "The empress asked if you would like to go, but you actually answered?" Willing! Do you know where the National Teacher’s Mansion is?! What kind of person is the current National Teacher?!”
"Lianyi said that he is 'a figure like a banished immortal'." Ji Xiaoli recalled the gossip provided by Shao Yaojing, "'he looks handsome and not like a man in the world'."
Ji Bei's cheeks were sore, and he hated him even more: "Which yard is this girl named Lianyi from?!"
"It's not a girl, it's the peony plant in the princess's concubine's courtyard... After tonight, she will become a demon through calamity, let's celebrate with a name first."
Ji Beiqi twisted his mouth, turned around aggressively and left. When the figure reached the door, he paused, "Someone will send you a battle pigeon in a while... I heard that the master of the state is lonely and cold, and he is very kind to people... If you can't bear it, send a message with a war pigeon, and I will pick you up right away." .”
When Xiao Li heard that there was a bird, he nodded with a smile and said yes.
Ji Bei looked back at her carefree smile, sighed, and stopped talking: "The pair of war pigeons were trained by the second brother, he... is very upset."

The very unhappy person is having dinner with his mother in the Wanqing Courtyard.
Princess Yanyang put the plate of Fengyue Chicken in front of him with her own hands, and persuaded him attentively: "Last time in Nanhua Courtyard, you said that this dish is good, so mother ordered someone to ask about the recipe, you should try it!"
Ji Xi had no expression on his face, and ate his meal in a regular manner, but he never touched the plate of chicken.
Yan Yang paid for being careful for so long, and her son still didn't appreciate it. She put down her chopsticks with a cold face: "Who are you showing your face to?!"
Ji Xi also put down her chopsticks, and looked up at her mother: "Mother, why are you trying to please me?"
Yan Yang was choked.
Of her three sons, Ji Dong is calm and Ji Bei is reckless, but this Ji Xi doesn't know who he looks like. He doesn't talk much but speaks powerfully. Every time he argues that Yan Yang is not an opponent, he simply said: "I know what's in your heart. What are you thinking! That wild girl is going to the National Teacher's Mansion, am I afraid that you will feel uncomfortable—I am your mother!"
Ji Xi said indifferently: "Since she is my own mother, since she knows what I think, would mother rather make her son feel uncomfortable than fulfill her wish?"
"The empress is clearly determined to send the wild girl to the National Teacher's Mansion, and the one behind the scenes is either the emperor or the queen mother, what can I do?" Yan Yang raised her brows upside down, "And you should give up your thoughts as soon as possible! That kind of wild girl Girl, don't even think about being Bengong's daughter-in-law!"
Princess Yanyang lives up to her name, when she is angry, she looks like a scorching sun, which is daunting. But her chest heaved with anger, but Ji Xi picked up the chopsticks again, ate a few mouthfuls leisurely, and said in a slow voice, "It's not as delicious as the one made by Nanhuayuan."
Princess Yanyang was furious.
Today, I set up this table specially to ask him to have dinner together, just to persuade him to stop thinking as soon as possible - the eldest son's marriage is already on the horizon, although Ji Bei is stubborn, he obeys Ji Ting's words, only the second son is scheming Quite deep, she was most worried about headaches.
"You... you..." Yan Yang gritted her teeth and wanted to teach him a lesson, but she heard a maidservant scream outside.
"What's the matter? Shouting!" Yan Yang shouted displeased.
Nanny Qi rushed in from the outside and reported back: "It's the third young master... I don't know why, but I pulled out the 'Jin Yu Jiao Hui' plant under the window sill..."
The "Golden and Jade Brilliance" peony was rewarded by the emperor on Yanyang's birthday, and it was a rare and precious variety that was specially moved from the National Teacher's Mansion.
Yan Yang didn't catch her breath as soon as she heard it, she patted her chest painfully, pointed at the motionless Ji Xi with her slender fingers, and scolded: "You little enemies! I'm not finished until I'm angry!"
