Consciousness sinks.
The scene in front of him flashed, and Shaoyin had already entered the world.
There was a shining bronze mirror in front of her, and she saw the shadow of a young girl reflected on the mirror, about four or five years old, with a pair of round eyes, and when she blinked lightly, there was a look of curiosity.
She was wearing a red brocade cotton gown, which set off her snowy cheeks, making her extraordinarily fresh and lively. On the head, there are two small buns tied with beautiful silk satin, and a pair of slender and soft hands are carefully adorning pearl hair ornaments on them.
"Look at the princess, is this satisfactory?" Those slender and soft hands were retracted.
This is the maid who served her, Ban Cui.
Shaoyin shook her head in front of the bronze mirror, and saw the beautiful silk satin hanging down and shaking, while the pearls dotted on the small bun were solid, and there was no sign of looseness at all.
She jumped off the brocade stool, lay down in front of the bronze mirror, and observed the bridge of her nose.
It is said that she has a small rouge mole on the side of the bridge of her nose.
But her head was very close to the bronze mirror, and it was almost pasted on it, but she still didn't see any rouge mole.
But Wan Cui who was behind laughed: "The little Princess is very beautiful today, flawless, even if I look in the mirror, I can't see any flaws."
Shaoyin had no choice but to look away.
No way, the clarity of the copper mirror is limited.
"The maidservant brought the little princess to greet the princess?"
"Yeah." Shaoyin nodded, stretched out a hand, let Wan Cui hold it, and walked out bouncing around.
Huihui couldn't help complaining: "You're not really five years old!"
Shaoyin ignored it.
When she arrived at the eldest princess's yard, her bouncing and bouncing range became smaller. Without it, the little girl's body is tired.
"Mother!" After entering the door, she called out sweetly, and threw herself into the arms of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess is about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, a slender figure, a noble and elegant posture, and full of royal majesty. At this moment, she was sitting by the window with her eyes slightly closed, and her head was being kneaded by the maid.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were pursed a little. It could be seen that she was not in a good mood at the moment.
Hearing her daughter's childish and brisk voice, she opened her eyes, and her brows stretched a little: "Is the sound coming?"
"Yeah." Shaoyin threw himself into her arms and hugged her waist, "Greetings to mother."
The eldest princess couldn't help laughing, and patted her on the forehead: "Whose family greets you like this?"
"Our family!" Shaoyin said.
The eldest princess laughed, grabbed her little hand, got up and walked to the dining table: "Let's eat."
As soon as the words fell, the maidservants began to come in with dishes of exquisite breakfast, which were lightly placed on the dining table, filling the whole table.
"My lord." Several greetings sounded, and a handsome and well-mannered middle-aged man walked in the door.
Shaoyin could clearly sense that after her father, Marquis Jing'an, came in, the Eldest Princess' mood that had improved immediately fell back.
Even worse than when she first arrived.
She pretended not to notice, got up and saluted Jing An Hou: "Father."
Jing Anhou smiled and nodded at her, and after sitting down, he did not forget to ask her: "How did Yinyin sleep last night?"
"It's all right." Shaoyin was carried back on the stool by Wan Cui, and replied casually.
Jing'an Hou smiled and shook his head: "Today's Lantern Festival, your mother promised to take you out to play, I thought you would be so happy that you couldn't sleep."
"I'm not that unpromising." Shaoyin replied.
Jing'anhou seemed to be amused, he laughed and said, "Okay, my daughter is promising."
When the words fell, the eldest princess heard a soft voice: "Huh."
It seems to be saying, what is your daughter? That's my daughter.
Jing'an Hou seemed not aware of it, raised his head and said with a smile: "Tonight, I will have a drink with Mr. Wang and the others at Zuijianglou, so I won't accompany you and Yinyin."
The Lantern Festival is very lively. There are lion dancers, acrobats, and lantern festivals on the street. It is obviously more fun for men to gather together.
Women also don't like to be with them, and many things are hard to say.
"En." The eldest princess responded lightly.
Shaoyin buried her head in her meal and didn't ask her father to accompany her.
Marquis Jing'an was surprised for a moment, but he quickly put it behind him. It's good if the daughter doesn't pester him, otherwise she will have to coax him for a while.
A meal is eaten quietly.
After the meal, Marquis Jing'an got up and left. The Lantern Festival does not go to court, so he went out to visit friends.
Shaoyin stayed behind and played in the eldest princess's yard.
It's not very fun, it's nothing more than taking off your shoes, sitting on the couch, playing with Jiulianhuan.
The eldest princess sat at the other end, dealing with the affairs of the mansion, and when there was no one to report back, she would just sit there with a dull look in her eyes.
Shaoyin knew why she was in a bad mood.
Because half a month ago, Jing'an Hou took two concubines.
They have been married for ten years. But the eldest princess's stomach was "unbelievable". After giving birth to Qi Jiayin, her stomach stopped moving.
The eldest princess is a decent person, and she did not object when the Marquis of Jing'an proposed to take a concubine.
But she was not happy.
Although the husband and wife did not say that they were deeply in love, they did not quarrel much. In the past ten years, the two had been sweet and blushed, he had teased her, she had been angry with him, and they had wronged and reconciled with each other.
With the passage of time, those joys and joys gradually settled down. The eldest princess thought that the two of them would become closer and more trusting, but... the fact is that the two have become distant and indifferent over the past few years.
If she gave birth to a son, the two of them might not be like this.
But if she can't give birth, what can she do
The eldest princess felt sad and depressed about this.
The yearning and feelings of a young girl, after seeing those two concubines, evaporated after the sun rose like dewdrops that cannot be seen.
Those two concubines are both dutiful people, soft and beautiful, and good-looking girls.
The eldest princess will not be jealous of them. These two people have neither her beauty, nor her talent and bearing, let alone their identity and status. However, these two people who are no match for her can be intimate with her husband.
She felt uncomfortable thinking about it, and couldn't let go.
It was precisely because of this that when the Lantern Festival started, my daughter wanted to go down to play, but she was not in the mood, so she just asked the nanny and maidservants to follow.
Then her daughter got lost, and she hated herself for it.
She wondered countless times, if she had kept her daughter by her side, treated her a little more patiently, and didn't send her away, would it have been a different ending
This remorse, like a continuous poison, gnawed at her heart day and night. She couldn't forgive herself, and even resented her husband. The husband and wife live apart, and they don't even say a word when they meet, which is worse than strangers.
"Mother, I can't untie it!" Shaoyin fiddled with Jiulianhuan a few times, then grabbed the messy Jiulianhuan and crawled towards the eldest princess.
As a five-year-old child, it is inconceivable to persuade a grown woman not to be sad. She could only find something to distract her.
The eldest princess was in a trance, when her daughter stuffed a bunch of Nine Rings into her arms, she lowered her eyes and saw those messy buttons, her forehead twitched: "Why did you make such a mess?!"
It is difficult for the talented eldest princess to understand her daughter's clumsiness. It doesn't matter if she doesn't know how to solve it, but it's weird if it's done so badly!
"I don't know." Shaoyin sat next to her and shook her arm, "Mom, help me."
The eldest princess said: "I'll help you untie it, that's my skill, you still don't know how to do it." Then, she moved her fingers, "Look, it's solved like this."
First restore the Jiulianhuan that she messed up to its original state, and then untie it slowly, explaining it as she untangles it.
"Yeah." Shaoyin kept nodding her head, and burst out from time to time, "Mother is amazing!"
The eldest princess didn't take it at all, instead she frowned and said, "Why are you so stupid!"
"Maybe it looks like Dad." Shaoyin said.
The eldest princess paused.
When mentioning the Marquis of Jing'an, she inevitably thought of her son, taking concubines and other annoying things.
But looking down at her daughter's blinking eyes, she looked rather sly, soft and cute, and her heart softened into a puddle of water: "Stupid is stupid, don't make excuses."
"Then why am I so stupid?" Shaoyin still raised her head, blinked her round eyes, and said with a girlish voice: "Mingming is very smart and powerful."
The eldest princess couldn't help but be speechless.
She remembered that when she was a child, she was gifted and intelligent, and she had a long memory. When she was five years old, she was able to untie four buckles of Jiulianhuan.
"Maybe it's like your father." She had no choice but to say.
After speaking, I laughed too.
The troubles are there, it is impossible to disappear, the eldest princess can only slowly digest it by herself.
Fortunately, she has a daughter, a beautiful and lovely daughter, a daughter who is caring and caring to her.
No son, she doesn't care.
Husband gets close to other people... that's all.
Probably nothing is perfect in this world. She has a noble background, a high status and rich wealth, and a cute and cute daughter, she should be content.
The proud eldest princess had already made a choice the moment she didn't veto her husband's taking a concubine.
It is not that she cannot control her husband so that he will never take a concubine.
But when he had this idea, everything changed.
She doesn't want that kind of thing.
From childhood to adulthood, everything she has is the best.
She can't learn to let go.
After dismantling Jiulianhuan with her daughter for a whole day, the princess's mouth was dry, her brain was buzzing, and she was exhausted.
What son, what concubine, what broken vision, thank you, she has no time to think about it. She just wanted someone to take this pestering idiot away, leave her for a while, let her drink some water, be quiet for a while, and have a good rest.
"No, mother, let's explain it again." Shaoyin said like a big demon king with great energy who would never run out, shaking the princess's arm.
The eldest princess just wanted to faint at the moment.
"My son, let mother rest for a while." She said weakly.
Shaoyin said crisply: "I gave in, didn't mother rest just now?"
The eldest princess: "..."
Drink some tea, how can you call it a rest
She wanted to lie down, fall on her back, and cover herself with the quilt! She wants this kind of rest!
In the end, Wan Cui brought a bird over, teased the little Princess, and coaxed her away temporarily.
The eldest princess was able to rest for a while.
In the evening, because I promised my daughter early to go out to visit the Lantern Festival, I packed up the carriages and horses, and took a group of servants and guards to the reserved Furong Building.
This property is in the hands of an old lady in Beijing. It was originally a place for ladies to get together. The location is excellent and the reputation is also good. Not only did the eldest princess bring her daughter, but some distinguished wives were also present. .
The door of the private room was not closed, people came to visit from time to time, the eldest princess met them one by one, and finally invited several familiar ladies to sit in the private room, and talked familiarly.
Shaoyin saw a lion dance passing by below, so she jumped off the stool: "I want to go down and watch!"
She kept going, as written in the script. The eldest princess has been pestered by her all day, knowing that she is extremely crazy today, she waved her hand weakly and said: "Okay, okay, let's go."
He ordered the nurse and maid, and seven or eight guards, to protect her and go down.
In the box, several wives praised: "The little princess is lively and cute, really likable."
"At such a young age, he is already very dignified, quite like His Highness used to be."
The eldest princess was so angry that she waved her hands again and again: "Don't mention that debt collector."
Everyone saw her disdain in her words, but her eyes looked down through the window, with an extremely loving expression, and they knew that she regarded her daughter as a pearl, and they were even more flattering.
Shaoyin was carried downstairs by the nanny.
There was a voice of astonishment in his head: "Are you serious? Are you going to follow the script?"
At the beginning, Shaoyin said that this time he would get excellent, but he didn't take it seriously at all. But now, she actually followed the script!
"Are you so kind to me?" Huihui was moved.
However, it was a little puzzled: "If you get lost, what will the eldest princess do?"
She stayed with the eldest princess for a day, and looked very attentive, Hui Hui thought that she felt sorry for the eldest princess and was not willing to let her lose her daughter.
"It's fine to come back after getting lost." Shaoyin replied.
Huihui was stunned: "What?!"
No, what's the point? !
The significance of this plot is that she will not come back!
"You are so idle!" It said speechlessly.
I was very happy.
It says that this woman cannot suddenly change her style.
"Look at the people following me." Shaoyin said unhurriedly, "There are so many people following me, even if I get lost and scattered by the crowd, but with so many servants and guards, two of them walk one by one. Direction, is it difficult to find me back?"
"Look at my clothes again." She said again, "It looks like a child of a wealthy family! Normal people see me lost, and for a chance, they will definitely watch me and wait to return me .With this kindness, whether it is money or favors, it is a great opportunity that fell from the sky!"
Huihui froze.
"I was neither found by the servants in the mansion, nor protected by the ordinary people who went shopping—" she said meaningfully, "there is only one possibility, I was abducted!"
