The Crown Princess had already noticed about the temper tantrum between the Crown Prince and Chun Couplezhai.
In fact, not only her, Hu Liangdi also knew.
Without him, the crown prince went to live in a small room in the green bamboo forest from the Spring Festival, isn't this obvious
Hu Liangdi couldn't help gloating, and thought to herself what it was that made the crown prince mad at her, it must not be a trivial matter.
Ruhua said: "Let me tell you, there must be a lot of people who want her to fall out of favor, maybe someone else will step on her."
This person, of course, refers to the Crown Princess.
"Okay, our princess is not so knowledgeable. She wants to raise the eldest son well now, so how can she do such a thankless thing." Hu Liangdi ate the grapes and gave her a look.
"If she really annoyed the crown prince and fell out of favor since then, master, tell me—"
"What are you thinking, whoever's turn it is, it's not your master's turn." Hu Liangdi seemed to scold with a smile, but her eyes darkened.
It would be a lie to say that she doesn't want to be petted, but Hu Liangdi knew that that was all she wanted.
She has already given birth to three children, and she is the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with that one. She has family background, status and status. If there are more children, the princess will be run over by her and have no place to stand.
At the beginning, she didn't even think that the prince would give her another child. After giving birth to Zong Xuan, she didn't think about anything anymore, don't look at her talking about the princess, in fact, she is also like this.
In fact, Hu Liangdi was not surprised that Pan'er could be favored, because she was the most suitable in terms of status. She came from a humble background, but she was also a princess. Without her natal family, she could only rely on the prince. In the situation where she and the princess are at loggerheads, it is best for her to stand out.
In the end it was she who came out.
So this person's life, sometimes it is really destined, you can't force it, what should be yours is yours.
But deep down in her heart, Hu Liangdi still hoped to see that Su Liangdi fall hard, because this was in line with the common sense in the palace.
It's only four days.
Four days later, Hu Liangdi sneered, unable to tell whether she was laughing at others or herself.
"Be honest, don't make trouble for yourself."
Chun Yizhai, the princess received the news that the prince had gone to the Spring Festival.
"Master." Fu Chun hesitated.
The Crown Princess lowered her eyebrows and drank tea: "I told you to stop inquiring about these things. You don't have to worry about it. It's reasonable to think more about what your mother will give you for her birthday."
Seeing that the Crown Princess was unwilling to say more, Fu Chun hurriedly said: "My maidservant thinks that the embroidery with a thousand longevity characters is good. You have prepared it long ago, and it suits the scene."
"Jing Jinger is Lin Jinger, but it's a bit too ordinary."
At this time, Fu Qiu came in and reported that the eldest son and the second princess had arrived.
Not long after, the two came in.
"mother."
The princess put down the teacup, smiled and said, "Why are you here at this time?"
Wan Shu and Zong Duo met eyes indistinctly, and then smiled and said: "My daughter made a pair of shoes for the imperial grandmother, and showed them to my mother. Even if my daughter's craftsmanship is not good enough, I don't know how to give them to the imperial grandmother as a birthday gift. Can't do it."
The Crown Princess took it and looked at it very carefully, and said while watching: "Yes, how old you are, it is already very good to be able to make shoes for the imperial grandmother. The important thing is not the craftsmanship, but the heart. Your imperial grandmother will definitely like it."
Wanshu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Since mother said so, my daughter can feel relieved."
A few more words were exchanged between the mother and daughter. During this period, the Crown Princess did not forget to ask Zong Duo about his homework, and urged him not to miss his homework even if he came to Xiyuan. I can't bear it anymore.
"You can't miss your homework, and you have to take care of your body. Mother asked the mother to make you a nourishing soup. You must remember to drink it every day."
"Mother, don't worry, my son will remember."
The princess was very pleased and looked him up and down, then patted him on the shoulder: "Just remember it, as long as you know how you are, your sister and I will be fine."
Zong Duo wanted to... He stopped talking, but he didn't say it because Wan Shu interrupted him.
"Mother, don't worry, brother is fine."
When the two came out of the main room, they looked at each other helplessly.
"I just saw that my mother is very good, she doesn't seem to care about what's going on at the Spring Couple Zhai." Zong Duo hesitated.
"Can it be bad? Even if it's not good, we won't show it to us." Wan Shu whispered.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."
Wan Shu put away her low mood, smiled, and looked at her younger brother: "Sister knows that you will work hard. Mother is right. As long as you are well, both mother and I will be well. As long as you are well, no one will be better." But you go."
When she said this, her eyes looked in the direction of Chungouzhai.
Zong Qian cherishes his little fish very much, and puts the small bucket aside when eating.
Usually he can't be idle, but today is fine, he just circles around his keg when he has nothing to do. Seeing that he liked it, Pan Er thought that the fish could not just be raised in a bucket, so he asked someone to find a large blue and white bowl, put clean water in it, put a few pebbles in the bottom of the bowl, and then put the fish in. But Zong Qian fell in love with it.
Now it's not circling around the small bucket, but circling around the blue and white bowl.
Aunt Qing said that the bowl might not be able to support fish, the water was stagnant and the water was too shallow. They all grew up by the water, and Pan'er naturally understands this truth, but now it can only be like this temporarily.
But she found a job for her. She planned to make an artificial fish pond for her son. It didn't need to be too big, so there would be a place to put it back in the Forbidden City. Even if she didn't come to Xiyuan, there would still be fish to watch.
In fact, there are quite a few people raising fish in the palace, most of them use big tanks, but Pan'er dislikes the rigidity of big tanks. In such a small space, the key is always to change the water, and the fish will die if they are not properly served. She raised them for a while before, and saw two dead fish in three days. Although the fish were worthless, since she grew up by the waters of the south of the Yangtze River, she didn't like to see such a scene, so she didn't raise them anymore.
She concluded that fish are easy to die because the water is stagnant. If you want to be more interesting, you must learn from the strange garden stones in the south of the Yangtze River.
Thinking about it like this, a lot of ideas came to her for a while, and she hurriedly asked Cattail and the others to help her spread paper and ink.
It is necessary to build a rockery with stones, and there must be moss on the rockery to make it wild. It is best to build a small stone bridge, so as to meet the artistic conception of the small bridge and flowing water rockery. Naturally, there is a vat underneath. The blue and white vat is too fancy, and the vat body carved out of stone is suitable.
After wasting several sheets of paper, Pan'er finally drew a prototype.
What about running water? How can the water be circulated so that it can be living water.
When the prince walked in, what he saw was this scene—she was wearing a bowed bun, with a few strands of hair hanging from her temples, black hair, snow skin and red lips, and the light projected from the window seemed to cast a shadow on her. Phnom Penh. The lotus blue shirt made her complexion more crystal clear. She didn't wear much jewelry, only a green bracelet on the wrist holding the pen.
"doing what?"
Pan'er was in a trance, so she spoke out what was in her heart.
The prince looked over and thought to himself, the handwriting is not very good, but the painting is not bad. This is not bad, but it only means that the original state of the painting is drawn, and it will not make the prince unrecognizable.
"How did you think of doing this?"
"Qian'er likes it, it's rare that he likes it so much, Yu'er won't be naughty after seeing it, and when he returns to the palace, there will be something for him to pass the time."
It's thoughtful. And she pays great attention to the children, which surprised the prince a bit. For example, women in the palace would never feed their children personally, but she would; for example, the children in the palace were brought up by nurses, court ladies and eunuchs, but she always liked to do it herself.
Although she doesn't know how to do it herself, she always asks about everything, including what she ate and wore today.
When the children were older, she would take the children to sleep with them and tell them some strange country stories. The two older ones are fine, Zong Qian is especially clingy, especially after he can talk and walk, he often gets into his mother's bed at night and can't get out.
For this reason, the prince often said some specious things to Zong Qian with Pan'er on his back, for example, a man can't sleep with his mother all the time, a man should sleep alone. This is also why Pan'er couldn't understand why the youngest son always talks about being a man.
"You can add a waterwheel here." The prince said, taking the pen in Pan'er's hand, and with just a few strokes, a lifelike small waterwheel appeared beside the rockery in the painting.
"The waterwheel needs flowing water to move, but what is needed on it is flowing water." Pan'er objected.
"As long as you let the water wheel move, you can use the bucket on the water wheel to transport the water into the air, and then flow down from the rockery. This internal structure should be able to be made. It may be difficult for the big one, but yours is so small. "
To put it bluntly, it's just a gadget for coaxing children, and it's not a problem at all. The prince has seen it before, so he can say it so firmly.
Since the prince said yes, so be it.
Afterwards, the crown prince asked someone to send the drawing to the Internal Construction Bureau. Pan'er thought that the paper was stained with ink and did not look good, so he said he wanted to draw another one, but it was difficult to draw the waterwheel.
Although she has seen a waterwheel, she has never observed it carefully. She only has a general impression in her mind. So sloppy.
She didn't speak, and she didn't move her pen.
The prince sighed, walked over, held her hand from behind, and drew on the paper with a pen.
The faint Canaan fragrance surrounded her, Pan'er was so keen, she naturally noticed his sigh, and the subtle stiffness of the two of them getting along these few days, anyway, at least they were not as harmonious as before.
Was it because of that question that he didn't ask and she didn't give an explanation
How can I explain it? She didn't know at all, so she could only pretend not to know.
Just as she was in a daze, the painting was finished.
Pan'er looked closely, and although he was holding her hand to draw it, it was obvious that it was drawn by two people, and one was an adult and the other was a child.
She is that child.
This is to embarrass her and throw her into the internal bureau!
"What are you doing so well?" she complained.
The prince was stunned, and laughed again: "It's not that I draw well, it's because you draw badly."
The breath of his words sprayed on her ears, making her ears warm up for no reason, and gradually became hot.
"Why are your ears red?" The prince's eyes were extremely sharp, and he saw it quickly.
"You're standing too close, I'm getting hot." She said angrily, and pushed the prince again.
The prince stretched out his hand to scratch her ear, and she hurriedly covered it again. The two of them started arguing like children. They met inadvertently, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
It was Pan'er who broke the silence, "Since the painting is finished, let's quickly use it to create a situation inside."
The prince nodded and called Fulu.
Empress Fu's birthday banquet was arranged on Qionghua Island.
This Qionghua Island is not in the South China Sea, but in the North Sea.
Qionghua Island is in the north, and Yingtai is in the south. The two places are facing each other across the Jinao Yuchi Bridge and the Centipede Bridge. Qionghua Island is formed by mounds of mountains and soil. There are Guanghan Hall, Renzhi Hall, and Yuexin Hall on the island. Generally, if large-scale palace banquets are held in Xiyuan, they are all located here.
The strange rocks on the island are rugged, and the mountains are built with caves, forming a kind of beauty of extraordinary horses with pavilions, terraces and pavilions among the rocks, and Lingshi among the palaces. On the north side of the island, an arc-shaped veranda was built near the water. There are many pavilions and waterside pavilions on the veranda, which is really a good place to enjoy the scenery.
Therefore, the scenery on Qionghua Island is not inferior to that of Yingtai, and even surpasses it.
On the day of Zhengri, Qionghua Island was very lively, and everyone in the East Palace was also present.
Naturally, the crown prince was not here. After congratulating Empress Fu on his birthday, he went to Emperor Cheng'an's side. The female family members of the East Palace stayed by Empress Fu's side and offered birthday gifts one by one.
What the crown princess gave was a pair of black satin as the base, embroidered with a thousand characters of longevity in different shapes with gold thread, and lined with a red sandalwood screen. It is stylish yet elegant, and most importantly, it is said that the embroidery was embroidered by the princess herself, which is especially heartfelt.
…
Empress Fu accepted it with a smile.
What Hu Liangdi presented was a white jade Guanyin, which was not very eye-catching at first glance, but when Empress Fu held it in her hands, she found that this Guanyin was made of Nuanyu.
Pan'er gave the guqin named Haiyue Qinghui, because it was not a particularly famous piano, it made outsiders feel a little surprised when they saw it, and wondered if this Su Liangdi gave gifts too casually .
But Empress Fu took a meaningful look at Pan'er, knowing that it was suggested by her prince's son, but very few outsiders knew that she liked guqin.
Therefore, when comparing the three birthday gifts, it is clear which is more important.
