There was a shortage of manpower everywhere, and everything was in a mess. Yu Miaoqi wandered around like a headless chicken for a long time before picking up a few servants to clean the passages.
The old lady stood on the porch watching the noisy courtyard, shook her head and sighed, "With this little ability, I still want to sneak into the prince's side, and I am overwhelmed."
Mother Ma didn't dare to talk, seeing Hou Ye walking slowly with the third lady in his arms, she immediately went down to prepare breakfast.
The concubine picked up Princess Jiu at the gate of the palace and went straight to Yonglehou's mansion. The ninth princess threw herself into the arms of the princess and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you well?"
The princess touched her rosy cheeks and said with a smile, "It's all over." Although it was difficult to conceive after the root bone was damaged, she gave birth to a pair of Lin'er in the Daoguang bath, which was more effective than those concubines giving birth to a hundred children. The side concubine Xu died suddenly, and the eldest son of the concubine is currently being held in her palm, why don't she just let her pinch and flatten her
I thought that there was no way out, but it turned out that there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. How can the princess not be happy, how can she not be grateful? She even had the idea of recognizing Yu Xiang as her god-sister, but she was worried that the emperor and the prince might suspect that she intended to win over Yu Dutong, so she gave up.
"That's good, this glutinous rice cake is for you to eat. I heard from my mother that the gift of Jiji is time-consuming, let's eat something to fill our stomachs first." The nine princesses broke the cake in half, spit out half by themselves, and the other half without explanation stuffed it into my sister-in-law's mouth.
The Crown Princess was almost fed up her nostrils, and quickly snatched the pastry, dumbfounded, and ate it slowly. After eating, she wiped her hands and asked, "What does Yu Xiang's twin sister look like? Feng'er and When Lin'er was full moon, she vaguely visited the mansion, but I can't remember."
Ninth Princess recalled it carefully for a moment, and said crisply, "She is very powerful, she is invincible in the world."
The Crown Princess was surprised, "The world is invincible? How do you say it?"
"Shameless people are invincible, she is already invincible." The nine princesses imitated Yu Xiang's mocking tone.
The Crown Princess wanted to laugh, but she forcibly held back, and looked at the two maids squatting in the corner with questioning eyes. The two knew each other, and leaned into her ear to tell the truth about Yu Miaoqi's intention to cling to the Ninth Princess and the Prince's Mansion.
Because Yu Miaoqi was Yu Xiang's twin sister, she had a natural affection for him, but after hearing this narration, she really felt both irritating and ridiculous. Annoyed that these people started coveting the prince before he was dead, laughing at these people's wishful thinking and daydreaming.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Princess Jiu noticed that the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit stagnant, she put down the pastry and blinked, looking very worried.
"Sister-in-law is fine. Don't eat when you're done. Be careful that you won't be able to sit still. Silly girl, stay away from Yu Miaoqi from now on." The concubine pinched the chubby cheek of my sister-in-law.
"I know, the lotus seed cake also said so." Ninth Princess nodded obediently.
When the princess and her party arrived, all the guests were also present. Because the old lady couldn't see it, she helped a little, and then suppressed the trouble Yu Miaoqi made. No matter how messy it was before, everything looks orderly now.
The musicians kneeling in the corner of the main hall played and sang congratulatory speeches. Yu Pinyan personally pushed his sister forward and asked Mrs. Fan to insert an ordinary hairpin crown for her. Then Taohong Liulu took the wheelchair and pushed her into the east. Room. Yu Pinyan stood there staring for a moment, then sat down beside the ancestor.
After entering the east room, Yu Xiang took off her original blouse and changed into a skirt and a specially made luxurious brocade robe, drank a glass of beer wine, ate a bite of her meal, and then walked out slowly. The princess was already standing in the hall, and when she saw her approaching, she smiled slightly, took off the ordinary hairpin crown that Mrs. Fan put on her, opened the box held by the maid kneeling beside her, took out an emerald lotus crown for her to wear, and took out another one after another. Branches of exquisite and unparalleled crown flowers are embellished in the hair.
Yu Xiang lowered her head, but her eyeballs were rolling around, looking at the concubine with a kind smile, the ancestor with a happy expression and her brother with dark eyes, and twisting to the side for a while. An Sheng's Nine Princesses and Fan Jiaojiao glanced lightly, the hesitation in their hearts was replaced by joy.
Of course, Yu Miaoqi and Lin didn't miss the jealousy and hatred when they saw the luxurious crown she was wearing.
While thinking wildly, the princess said slowly, "The wine is a good recommendation, and it has its fragrance. If you take it in Xianjiaer, your eyebrows will last forever. You will last forever, and you will be blazing and prosperous..." A large part of the congratulatory speech was obtained by the princess's hard thinking, The meaning of blessing in it is heartwarming.
Yu Xiang's eyes were slightly flushed, and she couldn't kowtow due to her inconvenient legs and feet, so she had to fold her hands and hold her forehead flat, and made a symbolic bow, "The Crown Princess concubine has shown so much love, Yu Xiang dare not accept it!"
The princess smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and the guests all showed joyful expressions. After the ceremony, the Ninth Princess and Fan Jiaojiao hurriedly beckoned her to sit together. Yu Miaoqi, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward holding her breath and asked Mrs. Fan to help her wear the hairpin crown. The crown princess who was standing in place put away her smile, her expression became indifferent.
This signal was immediately noticed by the guests at the banquet. Although everyone didn't say anything, they knew in their hearts that the princess concubine came here for Yu Xiang's sake, and she was nothing special to the second lady of Houfu.
Yu Miaoqi was ashamed and angry in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. With the support of the girl, she went into the east room to change into a skirt and brocade robe. At first, Yu Xiang was talking to Fan Jiaojiao and Princess Nine in a low voice, but after a while she felt a pain in her lower abdomen, which became more and more intense, and when Yu Miaoqi came out, it was unbearable.
This feeling of pain was so familiar that Yu Xiang vaguely recalled that she also had her menarche on her fifteenth birthday in her previous life. This is really... Even with a different body, some points are still shockingly coincidental, as if she didn't resurrect the dead, but experienced the past and present.
As usual, Yu Xiang would not be patient, but today is different, today is her coming-of-age ceremony, even if Yu Miaoqi takes half of it away, it is her only coming-of-age ceremony. She must endure to the end.
It's just that her legs are disabled, so she doesn't have to stand up to entertain guests, so no one will find her skirt stained by sunflower water, which is really a blessing in misfortune.
Yu Xiang gritted her teeth and endured it, thinking about it while having fun.
At the same time, Yu Miaoqi came out of the east room fully dressed, walked gracefully and steadily to the princess and knelt down in front of the concubine, looking expectant. The Crown Princess slightly curled her lips at her, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. She took off the ordinary hairpin crown on her head, and picked up a pair of red emerald beaded crowns prepared by Mrs. Lin.
Although the red emerald was full of water, it was far inferior to the imperial green emerald worn by Yu Xiang before. Not to mention Lin's complexion was ugly, but the guests showed strange expressions. It seems that the second young lady really grew up outside, and she is not as favored as the third young lady. It's true, the third lady gave up her legs just for Yu Dutong, no matter how gentle and lovely the second lady is, how can she compare to the love between his brother and sister who live and die together.
Yu Miaoqi felt extremely humiliated in her heart, but her expression became more and more serene, she lowered her head slightly to allow the Crown Princess to move. However, Yu Pinyan, who was sitting in the main seat, got up suddenly and walked towards Yu Xiang. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, and said, "Sister She is not feeling well. Yu takes her back to the room to rest first. Please forgive me."
Everyone turned their faces to look, only to find that Yu Xiang's complexion was pale and his lips were chapped, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat in the cold weather, which showed that he was very ill.
The concubine waved her hand quickly, "Take Xiang'er back quickly, come here, take the post from the palace to invite the imperial physician!"
A court lady hurried out with her skirt, and the old lady couldn't sit still anymore, she was about to follow up with a cane, but Lin grabbed her arm and begged in a low voice, "Mother, Qi'er's Jiji The ceremony is not over yet, you are all gone, how do others think of her?"
The old lady hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down slowly, but she felt anxious and uneasy after all, and her face was very ugly. The princess lost her interest, and after putting on the crown, she said a few words of congratulations and it was over. Ninth Princess and Fan Jiaojiao were like two grasshoppers, if Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Min hadn't held their shoulders behind them, they would have jumped out to find Yu Xiang.
On the other side, Yu Xiang was lying on her elder brother's shoulder, Qiqi Ai said, "Brother, can you hug me in a different position?" With this position of holding a child, wouldn't everything get on his sleeve? And for the first time today, he wore a deep white dress, the red in the white is simply too eye-catching!
Yu Pinyan changed into a princess hugging position as he said, and his footsteps became faster and faster, "Is your stomach still hurting? Don't be afraid, the imperial doctor will be here soon."
"I'm not sick, don't ask the imperial physician." Yu Xiang grabbed his brother's skirt and begged with a mournful face.
"It hurts so much that I broke out in a cold sweat and said I'm not sick." Yu Pinyan said in a very bad tone, and hurried into the small courtyard in the west wing, asking Tao Hong and Liu Lu to help lift the curtain of the bed. He bent down and was about to put his sister under the quilt, but she hooked her neck and refused to get off, a blush appeared on his pale face.
"Don't mess around, lie down under the quilt quickly, you're shivering from the cold." Yu Pinyan was really dumbfounded.
When Yu Xiang thought that her brother's sleeve was stained with her own sunflower water, she wished to dig a ground seam drilling machine. She felt uncomfortable and shy, and asked through gritted teeth, "Brother, you always like to wear black clothes, what's wrong with you today?" Don’t wear it anymore?” If you wear it, can I rely on you and dare not get off
"Didn't you say that you like to see my brother in white clothes, so I put them on for you to see today. Be good, lie down under the quilt and cover yourself, Liu Lu stuffed a few Tang women inside, it's very warm. It's warm. It won't hurt anymore, brother will stay with you." Yu Pinyan coaxed her and bent down to put her down.
"No, put a piece of black cotton cloth first." Yu Xiang closed her eyes, with a face of death, "I, I'm not sick, I'm having menarche, put the cotton cloth quickly, so as not to stain the mattress."
The word "menarche" was blurred by her, but it still penetrated into Yu Pinyan's ears without hindrance, making him stiff all over.
Tao Hong and Liu Lu were dumbfounded, and after a moment of daze, one went to get the cotton cloth, and the other went to burn the ashes. Yu Xiang opened her watery eyes, and stared at her brother in shame and indignation.
