Wonderful Puppet

Chapter 274 Absence

With Zhen Miao's surprise, the Sixth Prince seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to ask, so he only pressed his lips tighter, but it was not very conspicuous in the twilight.

Today is the New Year's Day celebration, Luo Tianzheng, as the commander of the Jinlin Guard, is the same as the five city soldiers and horses, but he is very busy, and he has already said that he will not be able to come to the banquet at night.Zhen Miao couldn't see anyone asking about her intention to pretend to be sick, so she could only vaguely say: "I felt a little uncomfortable when I got up early, but later when I was waiting at the palace gate, my grandma passed out. When I got anxious, I sweated a little and it was fine."

"Madam Zhen Guogong?" The voice of the sixth prince raised slightly.

Zhen Miao shook her head: "No, it's Mrs. Jian Anbo, my natal grandmother."

A voice came in and said, "Brother Liuhuang, you don't know that Mrs. Jian Anbo fainted, and Jia Ming carried her in."

Zhen Miao raised her head happily: "Chuxia."

Today, Princess Chuxia wore a rouge-colored palace dress with five-color makeup and a golden knurled raccoon fur cape in the snow, looking radiant.

"When did you come here?"

Princess Chuxia walked over, took Zhen Miao's hand naturally, and said with a blink of an eye, "Brother Liuhuang has a new sister and forgot the old one, you can talk so hard, why did you notice when I came here?" .”

With her casual teasing, the corners of the Sixth Prince's mouth, who was always smiling, froze slightly, and he unconsciously cast a sideways glance at Zhen Miao.

Zhen Miao hurriedly explained: "Chuxia, it doesn't make sense for you to be so jealous. As the saying goes, clothes are not as good as new ones, and people are not as old as old ones."

She was also afraid that Princess Chuxia, who was about to marry far away, would feel uncomfortable.

This time, there was a Manwei envoy coming to congratulate him.He stayed until the beginning of spring, and went to Manwei directly to protect Princess Chuxia.

It is said that girls to be married are more sensitive, not to mention those who are married to the horizon, Zhen Miao is unwilling to let Princess Chuxia have a heart knot because of such a trivial matter, one must know that the friendship between girls is limited. Sometimes it's just a word or a look that can disappear in smoke.

Although Zhen Miao could trust the friendship between the two, but because she cared, she was unwilling to do any harm.

But her explanation was neither fish nor fowl, Princess Chuxia immediately laughed.

The sixth prince also smiled and said: "Jiaming is right, clothes are not as good as new ones. People are not as good as old ones. Don't worry, Chu Xia, you have always been my favorite sister."

But I was thinking in my heart, Jiaming's poems and books must have been learned from Master Sheyu, right?

Princess Chuxia was used to being casual in front of the Sixth Prince, and upon hearing this, she cast a glance at him and said, "Thank you, Brother Sixth. Then I'll take Jia Ming to go first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the sixth prince to say anything else, he dragged Zhen Miao away quickly.

Waiting to put some distance away from everyone, he whispered to Zhen Miao: "When I leave, you will come to the palace less from now on, hmph, without my protection, you still won't be at a disadvantage?"

Zhen Miao chuckled: "Yes, I understand. That's right. Is Chongxi here?"

"Here you come, I came with the eldest princess, and I will lead you there."

The Great Zhou Dynasty had long since abolished the system of princes becoming feudal vassals, only those who were divided when the dynasty was established, and there are still a few vassal kings left, and the later princes are all raised in the capital, so it will come down.There are not a small number of clans, and there are those with side branches.There are many people who have a miserable life, and what they look forward to most is today.

The Hall of Eternal Life is extremely spacious, and at the end is a high platform with more than a dozen low tables for the emperor, queen mother, empress, and respectable or favored concubines. Placed at the entrance of the palace hall, from honor to humble, the closest to the high platform are the princes and princesses, and at the entrance, those side branches, but no matter what, those who can enter here today are the most noble in the entire Great Zhou in terms of blood A group of people no doubt.

Zhen Miao felt that the road paved with red carpet was extremely long, and her legs and feet became weak after walking.

Princess Chuxia gently squeezed her hand: "What are you afraid of, you are the County Lord proclaimed by the Holy One."

You must know that not all the clan's children have titles, Zhen Miao has attracted many envious and hateful eyes despite her being a half bucket of water.

Princess Chuxia hates iron for being weak: "The more confident you are, the more presumptuous others are, and you have to put up the airs you should!"

Zhen Miao grinned, "I'm not afraid."

"Then why are your legs shaking?" Princess Chuxia rolled her eyes.

Zhen Miao wanted to cry but had no tears: "I'm so hungry..."

She has always had the problem of panicking and sweating when she was hungry. Who knew it was so cruel and inhumane in the palace. At noon, there was a palace woman who brought snacks, but everyone put down their chopsticks after eating a few mouthfuls. Under the eyes of everyone, she No matter how thick-skinned it is, it's not good to even eat the plate, right?

Zhen Miao was annoyed again that she didn't hide some small snacks in her sleeves, such as almond cakes, thumb cakes, etc. At that time, she thought that she was going to pretend to be sick and go back, but she didn't want to make a mistake on the way.

Princess Chuxia glared at Zhen Miao bitterly, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll block it later, you eat more."

How did this foodie get into the clan team? She definitely doesn't know it!

The two found the county master Chongxi and took their seats.

Princess Chuxia is now a princess, and the seat is not here, but she is sitting here, and no one reminds her to be annoying.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and a group of dancers appeared, with their waists swaying lightly and their sleeves flying, which instantly lifted the atmosphere.

With the help of the music, the conversation and laughter at each table became more casual.

Another quarter of an hour later, the servant said loudly: "The emperor is here, the empress dowager is here, the empress is here—"

As soon as the singing and dancing stopped, a large group of people knelt down with a huff.

Emperor Zhaofeng took his seat, looked around, his eyes fell on the nearest empty table, and said: "Everyone, let's get down, today is a family banquet, everyone don't have to be restrained."

Only then did everyone stand up one after another.

Kneeling down and standing up suddenly, Zhen Miao, who was already dizzy from hunger, felt even more dizzy, and didn't stand up for a while.

Princess Chuxia hastily pulled her back, and while the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, said in a low voice: "Tell you not to be nervous, why are you so scared that you can't stand up?"

Zhen Miao opened her mouth and closed it again.Forget it, it's better to be too nervous to stand up than too hungry to stand up.

Unexpectedly, County Mistress Chongxi kindly explained: "She must be hungry!"

Zhen Miao...

When the banquet is halfway through, most of the people are attracted by singing and dancing.Or focus on chatting, Princess Chuxia lowered her voice and said: "Look, the crown prince hasn't come yet, only the crown princess has arrived."

County Lord Chongxi's expression was indifferent, he raised his sleeve and took a sip of the fruit wine, a blush appeared on his cold face, and his voice was still cold: "The prince is not in good health, so naturally he can't come."

The fact that the crown prince is now rejected by the emperor is well known to all the descendants of the clan and all civil and military officials.It's just hard to say on the bright side.

After finishing speaking, County Master Chongxi winked at Princess Chuxia, signaling her not to talk too much.

Princess Chuxia pursed her lips: "I'm just happy to see the Crown Princess alone."

"Chuxia!" County Mistress Chongxi glared at her.

Zhen Miao followed and glanced at the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess seemed to have sensed something, and glanced in this direction, her expression no longer as calm as before.It's more gloomy.

Zhen Miao hurriedly looked away, lowered her head and took a sip of the sherbet.

Princess Chuxia couldn't help but reminded: "Zhen Si, you have to be more careful, I always feel that the Crown Princess intends to target you."

"What's the matter?" Zhen Miao glanced out of the corner of her eye and found that the Crown Princess' gaze had moved elsewhere.

This time, Princess Chongxi did not stop Princess Chuxia from continuing.Instead, he pinched the pink porcelain wine glass, which was as thin as a cicada's wings and slightly transparent, and waited for her to continue.

"Not that time. She was talking to me, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning that the wind and sand on Manwei's side are the most damaging to the skin. The skin of the women there is very rough. I was depressed when I heard that, and she changed the subject. Immediately boasted that your skin is getting better, and then said that you got the prescription of Concubine Zhen's skin care. I heard something wrong at that time. Didn't she provoke me to trouble you?"

Zhen Miao pursed her lips.

The Crown Princess' words are indeed unreasonable.

Toffee's skin care formula.She knows how many people she has provoked.

After the first trial, the Crown Princess saw that she would not accept the hard way, and then she attracted the newly promoted Concubine Wu, and then the group of princesses. This alone made it difficult for her to integrate into the circle again.

Of course this Zhen Miao didn't care much, but then again, as long as she is a normal person, she would rather be treated by others than bother her, so it would be strange to say that she has a good impression of the Crown Princess.

But she didn't expect that the Crown Princess would plan on the friendship between Princess Chu Xia and her.

Which woman can't be tempted by the prescription that can make the skin smooth as satin?

If Princess Chuxia spoke to her, due to Concubine Zhen's instructions, she couldn't reveal it, and she refused, embarrassing and unbearable.

Zhen Miao quietly squeezed Princess Chuxia's hand, and told the truth: "To tell you the truth, the concubine did give me a prescription, but the concubine also said it, so don't let it out. When will I enter the palace to ask for a prescription?" Once I ask, I will see if the concubine agrees to write it to you, but I just said it first, if the concubine does not agree, I have nothing to do."

Princess Chuxia is not hypocritical either, if she can really get such a prescription, of course she can't ask for it, if she can't get it, she doesn't have to force it, in short, just don't make things difficult for her, and she thanked her frankly.

County Master Chongxi slightly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Just ask for Chu Xia, I don't need it."

Hearing what County Mistress Chongxi said, Princess Chuxia was reluctant: "Hey, you say that, it seems that your skin is better than mine!"

"It's not that she's better than you, it's just that women are pleasing to themselves. Aren't you going to get married now?"

Princess Chuxia blushed, and stomped her feet: "Who is the face of a barbarian!"

Zhen Miao recalled that the second prince she met that day was not as gentle and beautiful as the man from Dazhou, but he was masculine and fit. According to her aesthetics, she admired that type more. Thinking about Princess Chuxia's mentality, she might be in the future. Those who were at a disadvantage, persuaded: "Chuxia, don't be preconceived. I read the travel notes and found that the scenery and customs at Manwei are quite interesting, and the eldest prince must be a heroic and extraordinary man."

"You know that too?"

"Didn't I meet the second prince once, and they all said that their brothers look alike."

"Hey, so you're quite optimistic about the second prince?" Princess Chuxia asked enthusiastically, her voice accidentally raised a little.

County Lord Chongxi kicked her.

Princess Chuxia was about to stare when she found a maid walking over to refill the wine, so she stopped talking, and the three of them laughed silently. (To be continued.
