A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 71
“The county lord, your highness said that you can’t go out of the palace again in recent days. If you have anything you want to say, you can write to him in a letter.” The **** in blue took a look at the future princess Chen carefully: “This is your highness for you. Please read the letter you wrote.”
Jiuzhu took the letter, turned around and saw that his brother and mother were both looking at him, and he opened the letter.
“I’ll go to the kitchen and have a look.” Shen stood up and gave his daughter a free space.
Ming Jiyuan stood up reluctantly: “I will go to the study to read a book.”
Last night, the two of them didn’t come back when they were shopping, and they didn’t see each other for five or six hours in total. Need to write a letter?
Jiuzhu opened the letter, read the contents of the letter written by His Highness word by word, and asked the **** who sent the letter: “His Royal Highness can’t leave the palace before the second day of February?”
The blue-clothed **** replied respectfully: “Please rest assured that your majesty will write to you every day. If you have a reply, the slave will wait for you to finish writing the letter, and then take the letter back.”
He prayed secretly in his heart, the county lord must reply to the letter, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his highness when he went back.
“Excuse me, father-in-law, wait a moment.” Jiuzhu stood up, called a maid to take the blue **** to have tea, and hurried back to the room with the letter.
She felt that she had nothing to write, but she still had a lot to say to His Royal Highness.
For example, when Chunlanhua in the yard opened, the mother sent by the Ministry of Rites praised her, and found some interesting travel notes in his brother’s study.
Lala wrote a lot of miscellaneous, and finally she wrote a few words at the end of the letter.
[Everything is fine, do not worry, Your Highness. 】
After drying the ink on the letter paper, she folded the letter and put it in the envelope. After thinking about it, he took another piece of paper and traced a spring orchid into the envelope.
The new year has a new look, and the spring orchids are released at the beginning of the year, which represents a new beginning.
“Prince and concubine, Aunt White Peony is here.”
Sun Caiyao put down the book in her hand and looked at the woman who walked in front of her. She has a good-looking appearance, a respectful look, and a very steady temperament can be seen between her eyebrows and eyes.
“Slavish white peony, give a gift to the prince and concubine.” White peony gave her a master and servant gift.
“It doesn’t have to be so much courtesy.” Sun Caiyao stepped forward to hold her hand. Her hand was rough and strong, which should have been caused by her habit of doing rough work during Qianyi Pavilion. The smile on the face deepened: “The aunt serves her mother and concubine. There are all kinds of things in the palace, and no one can do better than her aunt.”
“Now my highness and I are not in a good situation, and I have to wrong you for a while.” Sun Caiyao returned to the chair and sat down: “My aunt is a first-class grand palace lady registered in Ouchi, and it is still the same with me.”
“Thanks to the princess.” The white peony gave a big gift gratefully.
“Go and rest first. If your Highness summons you, you will go to see your Highness.” Sun Caiyao has a complicated perception of white peony. It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the other party, but she can’t give birth to closeness.
The white peony waited in the room for several hours, and did not wait for the summons of the Fourth Prince. The servants of Zhang Sixth Palace were directly arranged by Dianzhong Province. She was on the spot here, and there was a panic that she had nowhere to go.
“I heard no. Last night, a court lady in the Shangyi Bureau ate the wrong thing. She wailed in pain for a long time before she died, and even her facial features were distorted after her death.”
“Hush, keep your voice down, don’t let the Fourth Royal Highness and the Fourth Imperial Concubine hear it. It is said that this court lady originally served in front of the Fourth Prince’s biological mother.”
“Zheng’s offended the empress empress before his death, how can the people in front of her get any benefits?”
Bai Shao, who was about to push the door out, stiffened.
Hongmei is dead?
Of course she would not think that hearing this passage was just a coincidence.
There is no coincidence in the palace, only intentional.
The palace man who was whispering outside has already left, Bai Shao wiped his face with cold water, tidyed up his clothes, and walked out of the house as usual.
“Aunt Baishao, I’m just looking for you.” A tender-faced little palace lady hurriedly walked to her: “His Royal Highness summons you, you come with me quickly.”
Seeing the four princes, the four princes didn’t say anything to her. She kowtowed to his highness and then withdrew from the yard.
In the outer courtyard, King An and King Jing were enjoying paintings. King An glanced at King Chen who was sitting in the corner. His brain was dominated by curiosity: “Fifth brother, last time you told us, take out the paintings of the five younger brothers and sisters. We appreciate, I don’t know if we can today…”
“The weather is bad today, so it’s not suitable for painting.” Chen Wang refused mercilessly: “If the second and third brothers are bored, you can go to the Royal Garden for a walk.”
“Where to go for what?”
“The spring is just right, the grass is lush, it’s just right for you to pull the weeds.”
When the voice fell, he saw the little **** who delivered the letter came back, stood up and lifted his chin: “The two emperor brothers slowly enjoy the painting, I will go back to the yard first.”
Wang An looked up at the sun in the sky. Is the weather today not good enough?
“Nothing, second brother.” Jing Wang smiled warmly: “I want to come because my fifth brother is reluctant to draw pictures of his younger brothers and sisters.”
“The more he refuses to give, the more curious I will be.” Wang An sighed: “When the five younger siblings enter the palace, I will find another opportunity to ask.”
Jing Wang smiled, he was like a title, he was like a quiet temper.
“By the way, the fifth brother married the head of Ming County, should we send someone to give a gift to the Ming family?” Wang An thought in his heart that the fifth brother’s biological mother is the queen, and the fifth brother is likely to be the future prince. , Ming Jiuzhu is the princess, he, the elder brother, should hug the princess’s lap earlier?
But he has a somewhat daunting and respectful character, who is a powerful character who can lift a sword and slash a robber.
“You can wait for the meaning of eldest brother and sister-in-law.” Jing Wang slowly put away the books on the table, “If eldest brother sends them, we will send them.”
Wang An said nothing, if the eldest brother sent him to send it with him, how could he hold the thigh of the prince’s concubine’s family?
At this time, the Ming family was almost full of makeup gifts from all the capital. The royal family and aristocrats were relatives of the man, but they also gave a lot of gifts in the name of makeup.
That’s not even counted. Your Majesty and the Queen also sent rewards in various names. The emperor’s private storage kept sending things to the Ming family. The Palace Department and the Ministry of Rites ran to the Ming family every day, almost breaking through the Ming family. threshold.
His Majesty’s bright preference for Chen Wang was seen by everyone, and even they suspected that Chen Wang’s wedding specifications were almost similar to those of the Prince’s wedding.
But no one from the Ministry of Etiquette raised objections to this matter, and no one of the other princes and concubines dared to stand up and say no. Everyone felt that the specifications were not right for this big wedding, but no one dared to say too much. Under the atmosphere of speaking, slowly came.
On the first day of February, the Ministry of Rites sent the bridal gown that had been revised many times before and after to the Ming family.
Wedding crowns with beaded jade dragons and phoenixes, auspicious clothes for dragons and phoenixes, blooming fans with pedicles, and a variety of jewelry in pairs.
“Mother.” Ming Jiyuan looked at these things without much joy on his face: “This is of a higher grade than the dress that I sent my sister to try on makeup in the first place.”
Generally, when a prince is married, the bride’s wedding crown should be six dragons and six phoenixes, but the wedding crown prepared for Jiuzhu is eight dragons and eight phoenixes.
“Your father is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. If these things are manipulated, it is impossible to send them to our Ming’s house.” Shen looked at the phoenix crown on the tray: “So this can only mean the emperor and the queen.”
“Thunder and rain are all Jun En.” Shen picked up the red satin and covered the phoenix crown: “Go and call Jiuzhu, I have something to tell her.”
Ming Jiyuan turned around and went to his sister’s yard.
As a bride who is about to get married, Jiuzhu not only is not nervous, but rather sneaks her little white horse in the yard. This horse has been raised by her for more than half a year and has not grown much.
“Brother?” Seeing Ming Jiyuan coming in, Jiuzhu handed the reins to the equinox: “Why are you here?”
“Mother asked me to take you over.” Ming Ji Yuan saw that his sister was wearing a simple double snail bun, she didn’t even wear a few hair accessories, thinking of the hairpin ring jewelry sent by the Ministry of Gifts, she began to worry about her thick hair. .
“Those ladies who visited are gone?” Jiuzhu pawed at the door and looked into the yard.
“They know that there are so many things today, why they stayed for a long time, don’t worry, they all left.” Seeing his sister’s appearance so cautiously, Ming Jiyuan couldn’t help sighing: “You hate socializing temperament, you can marry Wang Chen. How to do?”
“His Royal Highness said, just ignore those people.” Jiuzhu asked puzzledly: “What should I do?”
“Silly sister, you don’t know enough about men.” Ming Jiyuan touched her head: “But my brother hopes what your Highness said is true.”
“His Royal Highness will not lie to me.” Jiuzhu said firmly: “His Royal Highness also said that he would often accompany me home in the future.”
Ming Ji is far from laughing. My younger sister grew up in Taoist temple. How can I know that the world is harsh on her daughter’s family? When she married and stepped out of her natal family’s door, in the eyes of the world, she was no longer a family member of her husband’s family, but a member of her husband’s family. .
He believed that what Wang Chen said at the moment did not coax his sister. But life is too long, and people’s hearts are so changeable. Not everyone is like fathers and mothers, staying together and knowing each other, and loving as ever.
“What if your Highness lie to you?” Ming Jiyuan looked at his sister: “Jiuzhu, brother hopes you can be more selfish and love yourself more. As long as you are good, it is better than anything.”
Jiuzhu stepped into the main courtyard, was silent for a moment, and looked back at her brother earnestly: “If he really lied to me, then lied.”
Master said that the most rare thing in being a human being is to do what you want.
She didn’t think it was difficult.
There are many things in the world, and you can choose to start again, but there is only one life.
His Royal Highness saved her life in Huaxi River, accompanied her through the mountains and rivers of the capital, and enjoyed the Lantern Festival and the moonlight lights.
“Brother.” Jiuzhu smiled: “I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I choose to believe in Your Highness.”
“Everyone in the world can change. For me, His Royal Highness is the most special one.” Jiuzhu pulled Laming Jiyuan’s sleeve: “So brother, don’t worry about me. There are thousands of men in the world. Everyone will be someone. A beloved woman in the heart of a woman.”
“Wang Chen, is the beloved in your heart?” Ming Jiyuan always thought that his younger sister was innocent in Taoism, but he suddenly felt that his younger sister understands everything and understands everything. Unlike many people, she has one. The heart that is at ease.
Chen Wang is her fate.
“Brother, Your Royal Highness is not only the beloved in my heart.” Jiuzhu smiled and walked forward, jumping back, still the innocent girl.
Pushing open the door, Jiu Zhu looked at the neatly stacked dragon and phoenix Chengxiang wedding dresses, and sighed in a low voice, “It’s so beautiful.”
“Do you like it?” Shen looked at her with a smile.
Jiuzhu nodded.
“Just like it.” Shen picked up the wooden comb on the table: “Jiuzhu, come, I will comb your hair.”
When a folk girl gets married, her biological mother will comb her hair and wish her all the best after marriage.
The royal wedding does not follow folk customs, but the blessings that other people’s daughters have, she still wants to give to her as a mother.
