The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 50 Visiting Jiangning Prince's Mansion
During the Spring Festival, relatives must visit each other, but Li Sister-in-law has no real relatives in Xindu. She used to communicate with the eldest princess's mansion, but now she has completely broken with the eldest princess's mansion. Naturally, there is no need to go again. I thought I would be lazy by myself. Lazily staying in the princess mansion, spending this year alone.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, she received an invitation from the Jiangning Prince's Mansion, inviting her to have a gathering at the mansion. Li Meiying thought of Princess Jiangning's soft and beautiful face, and couldn't bear to refuse the other party's kindness, so she called Yunyu and Bo Liuzi to help her change clothes and make up.

Yunyu brought a set of blue cross-neck padded jacket and white pleated skirt with blue patterns. Li Sister-in-law looked at it and shook her head. Princess Jiangning was always weak, and now it was the New Year's Eve, so she was wearing too much Simple, but too rude, thinking of this, she whispered: "Bring the newly made white fox fur jacket with lotus makeup and flowers, and match it with the silver-red dark flower plum pattern pleated skirt."

Yunyu heard this, and hurriedly changed into the jacket and skirt designated by Li Meiying. At this time, Bo Liuzi had already tied a conical bun for Li Meiying, and picked out a flying butterfly gilt broken flower flower from the jewelry box. Shengbie was in the bun, and after changing his clothes, Li Meizhen took the ink book and got into the carriage to Jiangning Prince's Mansion.

When the carriage arrived at Jiangning Prince's Mansion, Li Sister-in-law got out of the carriage. Immediately, a mother with a happy face stepped forward and saluted, "But Princess Yingsu, the princess has ordered her servants to wait for the princess here."

"Mom, hurry up and excuse me. In such a cold day, it's hard for mom to wait here." Li Sister-in-law smiled kindly, and motioned Mo Shu to help the mother up.

Mo Shu stretched out his hand to support the mother, and said with a smile: "Mom is tired, these scraps of silver, mom saves to buy some wine to drink to warm up." Mo Shu took the opportunity to stuff a bag of scraps of silver to the mother.

"The servant's surname is Ruan, the princess can just call the servant Ruan's mother, please come with the servant." Ruan's mother accepted the money knowingly, and her tone became more respectful.

A group of people followed Ruan's mother into the Jiangning Palace, walked through the garden pavilion, and came to an attic. Following Ruan's mother into the pavilion, a burst of warmth rushed over. Seeing that her hands were warm, Princess Jiangning said with a little relief: "Whether it's cold or not, drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

Li Sister shook her head, at this moment a maid came forward with ginger soup, she couldn't refuse, so she took the ginger soup and drank it, at this moment Mo Shu stepped forward to untie her cloak and stepped aside.

Looking at the dazzling hall, only Concubine Jiangning was the only one, Li Sister-in-law wondered, "Why didn't I see Sister Min, isn't she in the mansion today?"

"Min'er went with her father and elder brother to the Wang's house in Jinhua County to pay New Year's greetings, and she turned around after a while." Princess Jiang Ning happily pulled Li Meiying to sit down and said, her eyes were scrutinizing Li Meiying, and it took a long time. He said guiltily: "You and Sister Xueying were carved out of the same mold. The year you came to Beijing, the prince took me to seek medical treatment. When I returned to Beijing, I realized that the emperor accepted me. A foster daughter, I sent people to inquire around secretly, only to find out that the adoptive daughter of the emperor was you. Unfortunately, at that time, I was at the beginning of my illness and needed to rest in bed. I stayed in bed for several years, and I never had a chance Go to Princess Yingsu's mansion to see you."

Regarding this, Li Sister-in-law had already found out. She knew that heavy thinking would cause great harm to the body, so she patted Princess Jiangning's hand and smiled comfortingly: "Princess, don't worry about it. Although I have stayed behind closed doors in the princess' mansion these years However, with Aunt Mo and Uncle Mo as my companions, I live a very good life, besides, the emperor rewards me very generously every year, and among the many princesses, no one can match the honor I have received."

Princess Jiangning heard what Li Sister-in-law said, and knew that she was not telling lies, and felt a little less guilty in her heart, and then said: "You are already old this year, I wonder if the emperor mentioned your marriage?"

Li Meizhen didn't expect Princess Jiangning to mention this matter, it seems inappropriate to show a surprised reaction, so she lowered her eyes shyly and said: "The emperor said that I should choose my own son-in-law. If I meet the one I like, Just ask him to give you a marriage."

Princess Jiangning was stunned when she heard this, and then happily pulled Li Meiying and said: "It's better, pick someone who is in love with you, and when you are married, go back to the fief, and be happy." Live this life."

Hearing this, Li Sister-in-law's head drooped even lower, and Princess Jiangning looked as if she was shy, but only Mo Shu at the side knew that this was the princess trying to hide the sadness in her heart.

At this moment, the maidservant's greetings came from outside the hall, and with the movement of the thick door curtain, King Jiang Ning, Wei Xuanjin, and Princess Minxian entered the hall one after another.

Li Meiying stood up unhurriedly, and saluted King Jiangning. Wei Xuanjin and Princess Minxian waited for Li Meiying to stop, and then went forward to salute, and everyone sat down after seeing the ceremony. , Jiang Ning Wang said heartily: "Princess, today is my family having a meal together, and I will come to the mansion often to play when I have nothing to do. It would be nice to chat with Aunt Qing to relieve boredom."

"My lord is so kind, my sister-in-law should obey me." Li Sister-in-law answered the words respectfully.

King Jiang Ning said that the family had a meal together, so naturally there was no need to divide the table, so when they were sitting around the table for lunch, Princess Jiang Ning pulled Princess Minxian to sit beside her, and Wei Xuanjin sat next to King Jiang Ning The vacant seat was right between Princess Minxian and Wei Xuanjin. The couple's tacit behavior made Li Meizhen faintly feel something.

But she took her seat gracefully, and immediately a maid brought the dishes to the table one by one, she finished her meal quietly, washed her hands and rinsed her mouth, and everyone moved to the hall to talk.

Princess Jiangning has a habit of keeping in good health, that is, after half an hour of eating, she will go to bed and rest for an hour. She chatted with everyone for half an hour. He got up and went back to rest with her, leaving Princess Minxian and Wei Xuanjin as companions.

Princess Minxian has a lively personality and can’t sit still, so she suggested going out for a walk, Wei Xuanjin responded silently, Li Meiying knew that there was a hot spring pool in the Jiangning Palace, and colorful water lilies bloomed in the pool all the year round, so she was happy to go and see it. Accept the request of Princess Minxian.

So the three of them put on big cloaks, Li Meizheng and Princess Minxian each held a hand stove, and the three of them left the house together and went to the garden.

The hot spring pool is located in the Liuchun Pavilion in the south of the Jiangning Prince's Mansion. The Liuchun Pavilion is actually a building similar to a gazebo. Although the hot spring water is warm all year round, Kexin is located in the north, and there is heavy snow in winter. As something to block the snow, I am afraid that all the colorful water lilies carefully cultivated in the hot spring pool will be frozen to death.

The three of them walked south all the way, and arrived at Liuchun Pavilion two quarters of an hour later. Although Liuchun Pavilion had no windshield wall, because the spring water in the hot spring was warm all year round, there was no snow around Liuchun Pavilion. As soon as you approach Liuchun Pavilion, you can feel bursts of warm, humid and hot air rushing towards your face.

It's just that before the three of them entered Liuchun Pavilion, they saw the butler coming in a hurry, and leaned over to whisper a few words in Wei Xuanjin's ear. I don't know what the butler said, but Wei Xuanjin's face changed.
