The Imperial Song – After I Bloom, A Hundred Flowers Die

Chapter 5: The envoy from the palace

Views:

Shen Xihe recuperated in Linxiang County for half a month. During this period, Emperor Youning, who heard that she had fallen into the river, sent eunuchs to express his condolences.

"Princess, that man is making trouble again." Zi Yu ran in angrily, bowed properly, and started to complain.

Shen Xihe was admiring the fairy ribbon. In the past half month, she had admired it for a while every day. She was particularly fascinated by the scent of the fairy ribbon, but she did not touch it rashly.

There are only a few records about this item, including its origin, shape, and color.

Apart from this, no one knows anything else, and many people have probably never even heard of it.

Shen Xihe placed the jade box for half a month, but it did not show any signs of withering and was still as green and lush as ever.

As soon as Zi Yu finished speaking, Zhenzhu, Biyu and Hongyu followed in and bowed to Shen Xihe together.

Looking up, she saw the four maids. Zhenzhu was wearing a white dress, while Ziyu and the others were wearing skirts of the same color as their names, with the same orchids embroidered on their bodies. Some of them were beautiful, some were delicate, and some were pretty, each with its own characteristics, which was pleasing to the eye.

After careful observation over this period of time, it was found that these maids were all truly on her side.

"What did he do again?" Shen Xiping asked casually.

The person Zi Yu was referring to was the eunuch sent by Emperor Youning, who was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Eunuchs and a respectable eunuch.

He has been here for five days. Except for the first day when he came to greet Shen Xihe with an oral message, he has never come to pay his respects since then. However, he sends people to accompany Shen Xihe on his journey every day.

He had been living a very comfortable life these past few days, entertaining officials and wealthy businessmen in Linxiang County every day, and the money he collected was probably more than his life savings.

"I saw him dragging a girl back to the courtyard." Zi Yu was full of resentment, "A eunuch wanted to rape a girl, he..."

"Zi Yu." Zhenzhu interrupted her in time. How could such dirty words be said in front of the princess

This eunuch came to greet the princess on the emperor's orders, and then personally escorted the princess to the capital. He took chicken feathers as a token of authority and thought he was an imperial envoy, but no one dared to touch him here.

"Go and take a look." Shen Xihe's expression was calm.

The peacock blue Twelve Fairies skirt with a pattern of precious flowers outlined by gold thread is tied high, showing her slender figure and graceful posture.

A water-blue gauze shawl with peach blossom dots is draped over the shoulders, moving with the wind, elegant and free.

The pearl and jade rings on her waist make pleasant sounds when she walks.

Zhenzhu and others followed behind Shen Xihe, and Ziyu had already revealed an infatuated look in her eyes.

Ever since the princess was rescued, she has been so graceful and her movements are as natural as flowing clouds and water. She could be captured in a painting at any time. She is as beautiful as the fairy in her dreams.

This kind of fairy concubine-like figure stood in front of Huang Degui. Even though he was not a real man, he couldn't help but be dazzled.

"I greet the princess. If the princess asks someone to tell me to come, I will do it. I deserve to die for my trouble, princess." Huang Degui pretended to slap himself in the face twice.

Shen Xihe glanced indifferently at the eunuch who was bowing in front of him, his clothes in disarray. He looked past him to the open door behind him, and saw a pretty girl with tear marks on her face, clutching her clothes tightly, with half of her face sticking out from behind the door.

You can tell at first glance that she is a good girl.

Her eyes were slightly disturbed, and her voice was as clear and melodious as jade beads hitting each other: "Huang Zhongsi, do you know... where is the last servant I asked me to find in person now?"
