Chapter 54 The Crown Princess

After getting off the carriage, there was a special father-in-law at the gate of the palace to guide the two of them in.

The couple were led to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager is 80 years old this year, with white hair, but in good spirits.

He smiled and invited her to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "I heard that you like sweets."

The emperor had something to do with Qin Zhi, so Ma Lan was alone with the empress dowager at the moment.

Here with her is the Crown Princess.

The crown princess is a beauty, with black eyes, black and white pupils revealing determination, Ma Lan has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Seeing Ma Lan's happiness visible to the naked eye, there were emotions in his eyes that Ma Lan could not understand.

In delicious pastries, it is not pleasant to be stared at by people.

"Why don't you eat?" The Crown Princess asked with concern, "Could it be that you're too tired?"

She never liked to eat these fruit cakes, she always felt tired.

"Try this solution."

The maid behind the princess brought out a plate of food from the food box.

Malan took a sip, the chicken was spicy and delicious, and the chicken was chewy: "It's delicious."

"You like me to buy more and have them delivered to you."

The princess's eyes were watery, as if water droplets would fall at any moment.

"This is a new gourmet shop in Kyoto called Malanhuakai."

It was bought by her third sister to eat and play when she went to the street. Thinking that Ma Lan would also like to eat it, she specially brought it into the palace for her to taste.

It's a pity that the shop doesn't sell it, otherwise she would buy it and give it to her.

The princess's bright eyebrows and eyes made Malan wonder if she had poisoned the chicken.

He ate with chopsticks and dared not eat any more.

"Why don't you eat?"

The princess saw that she only took two bites of everything she ate, thinking that she had a bad appetite: "Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask the imperial doctor to come and show you."

"Need not."

Ma Lan refused: "It is a rule in the palace to eat no more than three."

"This girl..."

Her words made them both laugh.

The Empress Dowager also felt that the Crown Princess was very strange today, so she laughed and joked and asked people to remove everything.

The three of them talked together for a while, mostly they asked Ma Lan and answered.

The Empress Dowager cared about her relationship with Qin Zhihuan, but the Crown Princess was very strange.

She also cared, but she cared more about Malan's own life.

From small to daily life to large to dressing, I will ask a question or two.

What color do you like, what do you like to eat, what flavor do you like, all of them are asked.

After all, the empress dowager was getting old, and she was tired after a while, so she asked them to go out by themselves.

The princess took Malan and went out, and introduced to her every plant and tree in the palace in detail.

"Today, the Empress Mother will host a banquet in the palace to entertain you and your husband.

When the time comes, you will be responsible for eating, and I will help you with the rest. "

Malan followed beside him, his brain was in a state of confusion and he did not react.

Princess...

Are you helping her?

Qin Da was afraid that Ma Lan would be tricked by the princess, so he quietly pulled her clothes from behind.

The princess looked at it.

Immediately lowered his face: "Drag it, hit it."

The voice is not loud, with an unmistakable tone.

Immediately, someone came up and pressed Qin Da to kneel on the ground.

Ma Lan was taken aback, and hurriedly pleaded with Qin Da: "Prince Princess, forgive me."

"You don't have to be afraid." The princess's beautiful eyes widened: "Others are afraid of him as the general of the country, but I am not afraid."

A servant who dares to touch her, really thinks that there is no one in her natal family to bully her.

Malan hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

The princess stared suspiciously at Qin Da who was kneeling on the ground: "Really?"

Malan nodded, his eyes were extremely sincere.

"Remember who pleaded for you today, and see clearly who your master is."

As soon as she turned her beautiful eyes, Qin Da was immediately let go and returned to Ma Lan's side.

"Since you are a slave, you have to act like a slave. Let me see that you do not discriminate between superiors and inferiors when you talk to your master, and you will never show mercy."

The faint coercion on her body is frightening.

Qin Da shrank behind Ma Lan, not daring to look up.

Zi Yan's eyes were dull, her face was bloodless, her body trembled slightly, she was very scared.

Ma Lan looked at the two of them suspiciously.

The lunch was served in Concubine Liu Gui's Changchun Palace, since it was a family banquet, not many people were invited.

Counting their husband and wife, there are only six people.

There is no empress in this dynasty, except for the empress dowager, Liu Guifei is the largest in the harem.

The emperor sits at the top, and concubine Liu Gui sits in the lower left corner.

The six people sat in different positions according to their positions.

The dishes were served one by one, and the emperor raised his glass to congratulate Qin Zhi on his marriage.

The drink entered the throat, and we exchanged greetings.

Concubine Liu Gui suddenly mentioned Sun Xiaonan, the daughter of Zuo Xiang's family.

"That's a good girl. Zhishu Dali has been deeply attached to her since she was a child."

Concubine Liu Gui smiled charmingly: "The two are childhood sweethearts, I thought they would marry her again, it's God's will."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head with a little regret, sighing for the failed marriage.

"Mrs. Hou was born in the countryside and grew up in the mountains. She must be open-minded."

The prince answered: "If you think about it, you won't have the heart to break up lovers."

He paused: "My son dared to ask the father to be the master, and give the second daughter of the Sun family to be his equal wife, what do the younger brothers and sisters think?"

He looked at Ma Lan with joy in his eyes.

The princess next to her was unwilling: "I will take a concubine in less than three months after getting married, beware of being struck by lightning."

Qin Zhi's words of refusal stuck in his throat, and he forgot to speak for a moment.

The prince turned his head to look at the person beside him, and then at his mother.

Silly.

Why didn't this daughter-in-law help him.

"The queen mother also said that she is a good girl." The princess continued unhurriedly: "How can a good girl be allowed to work with others?"

Concubine Liu Gui's eyes changed, she couldn't figure out what the Crown Princess was planning: "If you say it casually, it can't be true."

The meal was tasteless, and Ma Lan really couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking.

She helps her all the time, whether it's manners or traps.

She just needs to sit there and eat, and the Crown Princess alone blocks all of Concubine Liu Gui's open and dark arrows for her.

Qin Zhi still couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking, so he became more cautious when speaking.

Concubine Liu Gui frowned, she was furious after a meal.

After the meal, the princess was specially left to continue the household chores.

Malan worried that she would be scolded.

The princess's eyes were wet, and when she looked at Ma Lan, it seemed that water was about to drip.

"You're not full." She smiled brightly: "I just saw that you didn't eat much."

The maid Fei Yan immediately took Ma Lan to her warm pavilion in the palace.

There was food that she had prepared in advance, all of which Ma Lan told her to love.

"The queen mother came to me. You eat by yourself. If I haven't come back after eating, you can play in the yard for a while."

The tone was gentle, as if coaxing a three-year-old child.

This princess doesn't seem to be as bad as Qin Zhi said.

At least, be nice to her.

As soon as the crown princess left, the whole Nuan Pavilion was empty, so she took the two of them to eat with her.

Qin Da thought carefully, and inspected all the meals with silver needles.

"No poison?"

"She is a princess, not a fool."

I died in her warm pavilion for no apparent reason, do you think she can get away with it?

Ma Lan picked up a chopstick of fried pork with shredded bamboo shoots and before it could be put into his mouth, he felt as if someone had kicked him on the shoulder.

She trembled in pain: "Qin Zhihuan!"
