Xin Chen's understatement made Concubine Ning spit out all the porridge in her mouth, "cough, cough... what did you say?" Did she hear it wrong?Xin Chen patted Concubine Ning on the back, "I said, yesterday I had an extra son-in-law, a prince and a prince named... Mother? What's wrong with you, mother?"
Concubine Ning opened her mouth wide, looked at her daughter in amazement, and suddenly grabbed her, "Really? Xinchen, don't scare your mother!" The emperor has never noticed the existence of Xinchen, so how could he suddenly propose marriage to her?
"It's true, mother, don't you need to be so surprised?" Xin Chen regretted that she had brought up this matter while eating, causing her mother to choke. "How can I not be surprised!" Concubine Ning jumped up, "This matter is very serious! This is a major event in your life!" How could my daughter be so indifferent.
"I know too." That's why she mentioned it to her mother, but it seems that she found the wrong time.
Concubine Ning looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression, "Do you understand what marriage means?"
"Of course I know," Xin Chen laughed, mother thought her too ignorant, right? "The aunts in the cold palace have taught me everything." One of them even explained the erotic pictures to her in detail!
She walked over and pulled her mother back to the dining table, "The porridge is cold, mother, let's talk about it after eating, don't be in a hurry."
Concubine Ning was dragged to sit down, holding the porridge bowl brought by her daughter, she couldn't laugh or cry, she was so frightened that she was paralyzed, but Xinchen just remembered to eat as if nothing had happened!
My daughter is surprised by this: she does everything slowly.
Was she too successful in education?She has been told to be cautious since she was a child, to think before acting, it seems that her daughter has listened to everything, and she has carried forward even more!
"Xinchen... Sigh!" Concubine Ning put down the bowl, "How can mother eat now? What's going on? Why did your father suddenly think of marrying you? Who suggested it? Those concubines Are they trying to harm us again? Isn’t it? Could it be that the other princesses would not marry that person, so they would recommend it to you? What kind of person is it, tell me!”
Xinchen was dizzy after hearing her mother's hasty words, and couldn't get in her mouth at all. After her mother stopped, she said: "No, mother, that person is actually what all the princesses are vying for."
"What's going on?" Concubine Ning eagerly tugged at her.
Alas, it doesn't seem that Bai Niang is not in the mood to eat anymore, Xinchen told the story of last night while putting the food back into the food box and eating it later.
"Well, then...then you offended all the princesses? They will definitely hold a grudge! Maybe they will wait for an opportunity to retaliate soon! Oh, you...how did you get a red head? My God, God is really playing tricks on people!" After hearing this, Concubine Ning not only did not eat in peace, but murmured even more restlessly, "What should I do? They will definitely find trouble to frame you so that you cannot marry Dongfang Wei. Even if you marry To Dongfang Wei, you have no power or influence, you will definitely be bullied by him! Also, if you leave your mother, your mother will not be able to take care of you. If something happens, you will not even have a rescuer! What should I do? What can I do?"
"Mother, you don't have to think too much." Xinchen felt that her mother was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of grass ropes for ten years.You should be cautious in everything, but for things you can't do anything about, it's better to let nature take its course.
She pressed her mother on the chair again, and slowly analyzed to her mother: "It's useless to worry. The emperor has already said so absolutely, no one is allowed to object, and of course we can't refuse. If the other princesses want revenge , we can't stop it. Don't worry, the most is to be framed into the cold palace to accompany the aunts again. It's no different from now. As for Dongfang Wei, he will definitely not want to marry me, a princess with no power and no background. The obsession with him and the other princesses should be able to persuade the father to change the candidate."
The daughter's leisurely and calm tone comforted her, and Concubine Ning unknowingly took the bowl that her daughter stuffed into her hand, and subconsciously ate the porridge into her mouth.
"No matter how bad it is, it doesn't matter if I really want to marry Dongfang Wei. Anyway, he is a weak scholar, so he should not have the strength to bully me. Also, the law stipulates that if the husband dies first after the princess gets married, he will be taken back to the palace. Yes. If something happens to Dongfang Wei, I can come back to accompany you." Xinchen helped her mother carry a small dish with chopsticks, and then continued, "Besides, the emperor has not issued an order yet, Dongfang Wei and other concubines will definitely If we try our best to save it, we don’t have to worry about it at all. Otherwise, we just need to go along with the flow and do something that Dongfang Wei hates, and it will definitely scare him away.” There are so many unfavorable aunts in the cold palace as role models. It's not easy to hate people!
After Xinchen finished speaking slowly, Concubine Ning also finished her breakfast.She thought for a while, and felt that what her daughter said was reasonable, "But, I'm always not sure, Xinchen, you'd better go to Lenggong to discuss with your aunts." More heads also have more ideas, although the princess The marriages are all appointed by the emperor and the queen mother, but you can try to find a way to avoid it.
"Yes, mother." Although I feel that the aunts can't come up with any good ideas, it's good to go back and get together.
"It's not too late, you go tonight!" Knowing her daughter's habit of procrastinating, Concubine Ning urged anxiously, after thinking for a while, she said: "No, let's go together." To save her daughter from dragging her feet, And she waited anxiously here.
"Okay." Xin Chen replied, tidying up the dishes.
After tidying up her mother's bedroom after dinner, Xinchen went to the woods behind the palace, sat under a big tree, and lowered her head to mend the clothes in her hands.
This is her only palace attire, and she has been wearing it for three years. She wore it to a banquet last night, but it was torn apart by another princess during the lottery.
Under the rising sun, Xinchen carefully compared the color of the silk thread in her hand with the color of the clothes, and made needles according to the texture of the clothes.Aunt Qiao'er taught her these, so that the clothes can be patched so that no traces can be seen.
Holding a fine needle in her hand, she deftly shuttled back and forth, and after a while, the clothes were mended. Xinchen put it in the sun for inspection, nodded with satisfaction, and folded it.
Then she took out a few old clothes to mend. After mending, she looked at the shoes she was wearing, and knew that the front end was almost through the bottom. She took it off and took a closer look. She felt that it should be wearable after adding a layer of soles.So she changed a needle, selected the right twine and rags, and began to stitch the soles.
Although he was in a bad mood, Dongfang Wei still felt as gentle as a spring breeze, and along the way, there were many people who took the initiative to salute.Something really bad happened this time!The queen mother did not accept his refusal, thinking that he was being modest.After making indirect remarks, he realized that the emperor had made a decision this time, and even said in front of everyone in the harem that no one should have any objections.It seems that the emperor's side is not easy to shirk.
And the final result of his negotiation with the Queen Mother was that he had to marry the princess. As for the candidate, he could discuss it later. As long as he liked other princesses, the Queen Mother could come forward to help him tell the emperor.
What's the difference?In the final analysis, I want him to be the son-in-law!
Alas, if he had known that this would be the result of performing too well, he would definitely get rid of his pushy habit!
After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, he wandered to this remote part of the harem with some annoyance. Who is that Princess Pingrui?How could the empress dowager and the emperor insist on marriage regardless of his objection?
Just now, after asking the father-in-laws, I found out that Concubine Ning and Princess Pingrui have fallen out of favor for a long time, and they are the most powerless concubines and princesses in the palace, so why did the emperor appoint her?The strange thing is that when the fathers-in-law heard this question, they all laughed and didn't answer, as if there was something hidden.
What are you doing!Dongfang Wei felt that something bad must have happened last night!Damn it!If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't run away if I killed him!The hot summer sun made him more irritable, so he turned into the thick woods beside the road.After walking in the woods for a while, the feeling of shade gradually penetrated into my heart, Dongfang Wei unfolded her fan and swayed gently, restoring her usual elegance.
The matter has come to this point, it is useless for him to bother, in fact, he has a sense of crisis of being a son-in-law a long time ago.The princesses are around him all day long, and the queen mother often mentions some things about the princess to him intentionally or unintentionally. He knows that the queen mother and the emperor love him, and sooner or later he will care about his marriage, and propose marriage for him, and the target is likely to be Princess.
Well, since becoming a son-in-law is irresistible, he has no choice but to accept it, and redesign his way of doing things in the future.
It is true that there are many inconveniences in marrying a princess as a wife, but as long as he is smart enough, he can also get a lot of convenience from it.For example, there is one more excuse for being lazy, and you can use it to shirk a lot of entertainment, you can avoid the forced marriage of your parents, you can stop the matchmaking by dignitaries... Yes, he is Dongfang Wei, and he has always been good at turning the situation to his own. favorable!
With his thoughts calmed down, Dongfang Wei began to enjoy the beautiful scenery in summer leisurely.This forest is a natural forest that has not been repaired. Although it lacks the beauty of artificial carvings, it has a simple and natural freshness. It seems to be a rare quiet place in the palace.
Stepping on the soft grass, Dongfang Wei thought about what the queen mother said, she said that he could choose another candidate.Alas, as far as he knows, all the princesses are idle women who only spend all their time dressing up and competing for beauty, which makes it difficult for him to make a decision!Alas, maybe he can make a fuss about the selection of candidates, coupled with occasional "morbidity", and then delay it for three to five years, when the princesses can't wait to marry others, he will be at ease!
Dongfang Wei smiled, knowing that this kind of thinking is naive, but it's okay to think about it in desperation!
"oops!"
"what?"
Unexpectedly, there was a person behind the big tree, and something was sticking out for him to step on. Dongfang Wei lowered his head—a little foot without shoes?
"Sorry, I didn't see you just now, didn't I trample on you?" Good upbringing made him apologize first.This little palace lady looks pretty, is she a palace lady?Not wearing palace clothes, but combing the hair style of a court lady.
Xinchen was frightened by the sudden appearance of people, since there was no one here.She was sitting in the shadow of a big tree mending shoes, but disaster fell from heaven.
This is within the scope of the Forbidden Palace, why did this person walk in casually?Hiding her sore foot under her skirt, she considered whether to scold him for intruding into the harem, but after thinking about it, she decided to find out his identity first.
"Hello? Did you hear me?" Dongfang Wei who couldn't wait for a response asked, this girl seemed a little dull.
"Who are you?" She asked, but she didn't answer the question.
It's really rude, forget it, he doesn't have to argue with the little maid, "I'm Dongfang Wei. I didn't step on you just now, did I?"
Dongfang Wei?Xin Chen raised her head to look at his face, but the sun was too strong, even if she squinted her eyes, she couldn't see clearly.So she put down the half-padded shoes on her knees, stood up to avoid the sun, and only then did she see him clearly.
This person was beyond her expectations.He was tall, more than a head taller than her, he was not thin, and his face was not sick, although he looked like a white-faced scholar, but his eyes were sharp, and he didn't look like a sick person at all.Even in his baggy robes, his figure was still slender and strong.Standing straight, with broad hands and strong knuckles, he is definitely not a weak person, but the thick calluses on the pulp of his right finger show that he is a scholar who often holds a pen.Is he... really Dongfang Wei?
Xinchen took half a step back and continued to look at his clothes.He didn't wear an official uniform, but the clothes he wore were of expensive materials and fine workmanship.It is said that Dongfang Wei is the only one who is not like a eunuch or a guard, and who can freely enter and leave the harem.
So Xinchen made a comprehensive estimate: the possibility that he is Dongfang Wei is nine out of ten.
Dongfang Wei frowned slightly, his patience was exhausted.How strange!Few people can make him frown, but this little maid can easily do it!In good conscience, she didn't do anything, she just left him to hang aside, carefully arranged the cloth shoes in her hand, then slowly got up, chose a good angle, and looked at him from head to toe slowly, stepped back half a step and Look at it from foot to head, as if you want to help him count the hairs carefully!
He shouldn't be impatient, his etiquette is impeccable, and his patience is notoriously good, and his self-cultivation is a model for the world!However, the eyes of this little maid made him lose his patience for no reason!
Dongfang Wei took a dark breath, suppressing the impatience in his chest.He won't be rude, he is Taifu Dongfang Wei!How could his self-cultivation be defeated in front of this little maid? "It seems that you're fine, so I'll go first." This little maid had just entered the palace, and she didn't even salute when she saw the Taifu. According to the palace rules, it was a felony.
Xin Chen didn't call him, and watched him go away silently.Dongfang Wei?It's different from what she imagined.
Lenggong, as the name suggests, should be deserted and miserable.
However, as the saying goes, three women play one drama, let alone so many boring women get together?So in Xinchen's memory, Leng Gong is always bustling.
But she didn't know that only when she was there would the cold palace be full of excitement.It's not that Xinchen is very lively, in fact she talks the least, but it's inexplicable that when they meet her, those frustrated women talk more.
That night, Concubine Ning's mother and daughter slipped into the cold palace while avoiding the patrol of the guards.
The Leng Palace does not allow concubines to enter at will. Although it is not a felony to be found out, Concubine Ning has always asked her daughter to be careful in order to avoid giving people a rumor.
Entering the gate of the cold palace, Concubine Ning pointed left and right, "Your side, my side, separate to gather people, and gather under the big pagoda tree in the backyard!" After speaking, she hurriedly took the lead.
After Xinchen watched his mother go away, he walked slowly to the door of the first room and knocked on the door gently: "Aunt Gu, are you asleep?"
The woman who was moaning in the room immediately rejuvenated, "Where is it Xinchen? Didn't sleep, didn't sleep!" rushed over and opened the door, "Come here, come in quickly! Why are you free to come here today?"
"Hello, Aunt Gu." Xinchen bowed to salute, then straightened up, huh?Where's Aunt Gu?
While in doubt, Aunt Gu rushed up to her quickly, stuffed a stack of papers into her arms, and dragged her into the room.
"Come on, here are a few essays that Aunt Gu wrote this month. Read them for me and tell me what you think?" Although she was Xinchen's first teacher, Xinchen was talented and smart, and her literary talent was already above hers. Writing a few poems and prose when she is free to discuss with Xin Chen is her only spiritual sustenance now.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Gu, can I take a look when I go back?" Xinchen folded the messy papers in her arms one by one, "I came here with my mother tonight. Because I have something, my mother said it to share with everyone." Auntie to discuss what to do. So now I’m here to invite you to the backyard, where we can discuss.”
"Do you have something? What's the matter? All right, don't say it yet." Knowing Xinchen's slow personality, she helped her make a decision, "Let's talk in the backyard! Are you going to notify other people? I'll help you notify the east side People, hurry up like this."
"Oh, yes." By the time she finished answering, Aunt Gu had long since disappeared.
Xinchen walked to the next room and saw the light coming from inside, so she opened the door and went in, "Auntie Qiaoer, I'm coming in."
The humming machine in the room suddenly stopped, and a petite figure greeted him, "Xinchen, you are here! Aunt Qiaoer is looking forward to your coming. Come on, I have designed a new silk embroidery stitch for you. Take a look." During the days in the cold palace, you can only practice the handicraft skills you have learned hard in the past to talk about it, but without Xinchen's appreciation, no matter how exquisite the embroidery is, it will be in vain.
"I'm sorry, Auntie Qiaoer, can I see it another day?..."
Okay, the next Aunt Yuyan, well, the moonlight is so beautiful, she must be on the other side of the courtyard, right?Walking through the corridor to the patio, I saw Aunt Yuyan dancing in the moonlight.
Xinchen stopped aside, smiling and watching Aunt Yuyan's light, elegant, and graceful waist-bending dance, and when she finished dancing, she couldn't help applauding and admiring.
"Xinchen?" Yuyan turned her head and was pleasantly surprised to see Xinchen standing aside, "How about it, do you think Auntie's new dance steps are good?" In Xinchen, she regained her love for dance and devoted herself to creating more perfect dances.
"Very good! But," Xinchen grabbed Yuyan who was about to help her tie her waist, "Aunt Yuyan, can I learn it later? Because tonight..." Following the same pattern, after a few rooms, Xinchen Go to this room and knock on the door, "Aunt Xiuli, are you there?"
No one answered, Xinchen listened intently, and there was a faint sobbing and sighing sound from inside.Aunt Xiuli was indeed there, so she pushed open the room and went in, "Aunt Xiuli, I'm coming in."
The house was pitch-black, only the moonlight shone through the window, a graceful figure gazed at the moonlight through the window, wiping his tears from time to time.
Xin Chen approached the figure, softly interrupting her self-pity and self-harm. "Aunt Xiuli."
Xiuli turned her head, and she turned out to be a glamorous beauty dressed up, but with a little more wrinkles on her face, "Xinchen, look, how beautiful the moonlight is tonight. Alas, it's a pity that the moon is still the same, and everything is wrong!" said He couldn't help but shed another big tear.
Xinchen patted her comfortingly, "Auntie Xiuli, don't be sad."
"How can I not be sad?" Xiuli looked out of the window sadly, "I think back then, my family was as beautiful as a flower, and it was just the time of youth. Which man would not feel pity when he saw it? Back then..." Recalling the past is what she lives on now. But only Xinchen would listen to her quietly, no matter how many times she listened to it, she would listen carefully like the first time, never getting impatient or interrupting her.
Xinchen listened and handed her a handkerchief in due course.
"... That's it. That year, I became a noble concubine and was loved all the time! You don't know how much the emperor loved me at that time. Once..."
Suddenly a voice came in, interrupting Xiuli's ecstatic narration, "What's there? You played it a thousand times this time! Xinchen, didn't your mother tell Qi Ren to come to the backyard quickly? Why are you still here? Listen to her nonsense?"
"Hello, Aunt Honglian." Xin Chen turned around and saluted the visitor.
"Okay, girl, it's still so slow." Honglian came over, dragging one with each hand, "Let's go, I'm just missing you!"
"Hey, ugly woman, what are you doing? Let go, don't wrinkle my clothes!" Xiuli protested.I hate it, she only got along with Xinchen for a while, and then was interrupted by these ugly women, it's really annoying!
"Shut up, Xinchen has something important to do, hurry up to the backyard and discuss it together!"
"Huh?" Xiuli stopped struggling, "What about Xinchen? What's the matter?"
"Let's talk when we get there, let's go!"
In the backyard of the Leng Palace, on the stone tables and benches under the big pagoda tree, women of all kinds were sitting.
"Okay, everything is here, tell me what's going on?"
Xinchen put the things in his hands away, and Fang said, "It's like this, yesterday..."
"Forget it, Xinchen, let's talk, mother." Concubine Ning interrupted her daughter's tone of talking about Gu, otherwise it would be dawn after she finished speaking, "This time something big happened! Xinchen was married by the emperor!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked!
"The thing is like this..." Concubine Ning recounted the incident from the beginning, "...that's it, we want to discuss with you what to do."
"What else can I do? Find a way to push it away!" Aunt Gu jumped up and shouted before she could finish speaking, "Xin Chen must not marry those stinky men! No man is a good thing..."
"Hey, don't you speak from your own experience! Because you're an old maid who doesn't appreciate a man's good, you're saying such sour words." Another woman interrupted her.
Aunt Gu was furious: "What did you say? I kept my innocence because I didn't want to be tarnished by those stinky men!"
"Hmph, forget it, you're unpopular because you think you've read a few books and you're high-spirited, and you've been beaten to the sidelines without even seeing the emperor's face! It's not like me..."
"You slutty woman, don't teach Xinchen badly!"
"Is it okay to be an old maid like you? You're the one who hurt Xinchen!"
This kind of bickering among the women in the cold palace may be staged at any moment, and everyone didn't bother to listen, and discussed with the people around them.Amidst the humming of the crowd, Xinchen's soft voice sounded: "Aunt Susu, do you have something to say?"
Then everyone's eyes turned to the figure in the corner, and the figure shrank even more into the dark, trembling with fear.
Hong Lian walked over and pulled her out, "Why are you hiding? We won't eat you! You are so timid and timid that you will not be favored. If you have anything to say, say it!"
Su Su, who was pulled out of the light, was trembling. In fact, she was a rather young and beautiful woman, and I felt pity for her weak temperament.Her lips were murmured, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Auntie Susu," Xin Chen went to hold her hand, "Don't be afraid, speak slowly."
Being gently comforted by Xin Chen, Su Su spoke a little louder: "I, I know... what kind of person Dongfang Wei is..."
"You know? That's right! You only came in last year, and you know the current situation outside best! Tell me, what kind of man is he?" Everyone gathered around him.
After Susu’s intermittent narration, everyone concluded three points:
One is that Dongfang Wei is a great talent, with good character, good family background, and good looks.
The second is that Dongfang Wei has a weak body and a gentle personality.
The third is that the emperor and empress dowager value Dongfang Wei very much, and he is also the person the princesses most want to marry.
"That said, marrying Dongfang Wei is also a great joy. Concubine Ning, if Xinchen marries him, your luck will change and you will be favored again!"
"What are you talking about? Xinchen is going to leave us after she gets married!"
"How can you be so selfish? Xinchen has also reached the age of marriage, do you think she will spend her whole life in the palace?"
"What's wrong with that? It's safe and sound."
"Ping An's head! It's meaningless at all! When I get old, I will die of loneliness!"
"I think Dongfang Wei is pretty good."
"What do you know? The more famous a man is, the worse he is!"
……
Xinchen smiled, these are the women in the cold palace!
They usually take care of each other, but they can gather together to find a solution for her affairs; they have their own beauty, talent, temperament, shortcomings and dark sides... This is what cultivated her together. The women of , her lovely and unique aunts.
Instead of participating in the discussion, Xinchen brought tea from the house, and also found a few packets of melon seeds and candied fruit, and sent them to the aunts who were arguing red-faced.
Three women in one drama, six women in one street, let alone a dozen lonely women get together?It's normal to be noisy!Concubine Ning was not as leisurely as her daughter, and everyone's messy opinions made her dizzy even more.what to do?Don't even think about reaching a conclusion if this goes on!
At this time, the debate in the venue became more intense.
"Don't tell me these things! Back then, I was a talented woman, and I read a lot of poetry and books! How could I not understand these principles?"
"So what if you have studied? I have been in the Yuefu since I was a child. Which high-ranking official's house in the capital hasn't been there? Mr. Wang and Sun have seen a lot, and they know men better than you!"
"What are you bragging about? Do you know more about men than I do? I was specially trained by the prince's mansion to serve the emperor..."
"Didn't you end up in the cold palace? How dare you say it!"
"You bitch..."
Xinchen helped her mother who was about to faint, still smiling leisurely.I have guessed it a long time ago, every time the aunts discuss things, they will end up being far away from the topic in the end.After staying in the cold palace for a long time, I completely forgot what business is, anyway, I have a lot of free time.
The crowd became louder and louder, but Xinchen was not in a hurry, and slowly responded to the demands of the aunts: "Yes, Aunt Honglian is the best at dressing up...Don't be angry, Aunt Gu, you are the best at playing the pipa... Of course Auntie Zhang on Qinyi... Yes, that's right... Yes, Aunt Qiaoer... Of course... Aunt Gu, please sit down... Aunt Yuyan, it's dangerous to stand so high... Be careful, Aunt Bai... ..."
Just like that, amidst Concubine Ning's headache and annoyance, amidst the women's clamor and Xin Chen's peaceful mediation, the sky turned pale.
Under Xin Chen's consolation, a dozen or so women yawned and went back to their room while arguing with unfinished content.
And the weak Concubine Ning returned to the palace with the support of her daughter.
Only Xinchen was still smiling, ah, another lively and beautiful night has passed!
"What should I do?" Concubine Ning was helped to bed by her daughter, and pitifully held her daughter who was about to leave, "Do you want to marry Dongfang Wei?"
Why are you still thinking about this?Xin Chen laughed, "Mother, it's not up to me to decide whether to marry or not, is it?"
Concubine Ning was stunned, watching her daughter go out gently and close the door, and slowly closed her eyes.
That's right, they are puppets in the deep palace who are at the mercy of others, and they have no choice at all.Xinchen has seen through this point a long time ago, so she is so leisurely, right?
After helping her mother to sleep, Xinchen yawned and walked to her bedroom.
I'm so tired, I can hardly keep my eyes open, I wish I could see the bed right away.
"Princess, princess!" Xiaoping, the maid who was serving them, hurried over, "Princess Pingyang and Pingzhao sent someone to invite you over."
"Huh?" It's just dawn, what's the point of looking for her so early?Xinchen knew that the princesses would come to trouble her sooner or later, so she didn't know what tricks they would use, "Where are the people here?"
"Wait in front of the palace gate." Xiaoping replied, and then said hesitantly: "Should I inform Concubine Ning? They probably have bad intentions." Of course she knew about the emperor's marriage proposal, and she also knew that it had already annoyed her. Princesses.Mother had just fallen asleep, and it was useless to inform her. "No need, after your mother gets up, tell her that I'm going to visit the garden, so you don't have to wait for me to eat." Xin Chen said and walked slowly towards the palace gate.
"Princess," Xiaoping followed up worriedly, "Why don't I go with you."
Before Xin Chen could answer, the two eunuchs who were waiting in front of the palace had already yelled: "Presumptuous! Princesses' party, how can you be a slave! So big or small, didn't your master teach you well?" ?”
Even though she knew that the two were sarcastically mocking the princess, Xiaoping still backed away, not daring to make a sound, she was just an insignificant little maid!
"Okay, I can go by myself. Two father-in-laws, I don't know where Princess Pingyang and Pingzhao want me to meet?"
"Oh, back to Princess Pingrui, Princesses Pingyang and Pingzhao just got a kind of rice noodles from Nanling the day before yesterday. Come with the servants."
Knowing that this disaster is inevitable, Xinchen had no choice but to follow.As long as he is cautious and tolerant, nothing major will happen, it's just a little tricked by them.
Xiaoping, who was secretly anxious and helpless, was left behind, and walked around the door anxiously.
Alas, it's really embarrassing for a princess who is not favored and has no backstage!

?Chapter 2
Xin Chen's understatement made Concubine Ning spit out all the porridge in her mouth, "cough, cough... what did you say?" Did she hear it wrong?Xin Chen patted Concubine Ning on the back, "I said, yesterday I had an extra son-in-law, a prince and a prince named... Mother? What's wrong with you, mother?"
Concubine Ning opened her mouth wide, looked at her daughter in amazement, and suddenly grabbed her, "Really? Xinchen, don't scare your mother!" The emperor has never noticed the existence of Xinchen, so how could he suddenly propose marriage to her?
"It's true, mother, don't you need to be so surprised?" Xin Chen regretted that she had brought up this matter while eating, causing her mother to choke. "How can I not be surprised!" Concubine Ning jumped up, "This matter is very serious! This is a major event in your life!" How could my daughter be so indifferent.
"I know too." That's why she mentioned it to her mother, but it seems that she found the wrong time.
Concubine Ning looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression, "Do you understand what marriage means?"
"Of course I know," Xin Chen laughed, mother thought her too ignorant, right? "The aunts in the cold palace have taught me everything." One of them even explained the erotic pictures to her in detail!
She walked over and pulled her mother back to the dining table, "The porridge is cold, mother, let's talk about it after eating, don't be in a hurry."
Concubine Ning was dragged to sit down, holding the porridge bowl brought by her daughter, she couldn't laugh or cry, she was so frightened that she was paralyzed, but Xinchen just remembered to eat as if nothing had happened!
My daughter is surprised by this: she does everything slowly.
Was she too successful in education?She has been told to be cautious since she was a child, to think before acting, it seems that her daughter has listened to everything, and she has carried forward even more!
"Xinchen... Sigh!" Concubine Ning put down the bowl, "How can mother eat now? What's going on? Why did your father suddenly think of marrying you? Who suggested it? Those concubines Are they trying to harm us again? Isn’t it? Could it be that the other princesses would not marry that person, so they would recommend it to you? What kind of person is it, tell me!”
Xinchen was dizzy after hearing her mother's hasty words, and couldn't get in her mouth at all. After her mother stopped, she said: "No, mother, that person is actually what all the princesses are vying for."
"What's going on?" Concubine Ning eagerly tugged at her.
Alas, it doesn't seem that Bai Niang is not in the mood to eat anymore, Xinchen told the story of last night while putting the food back into the food box and eating it later.
"Well, then...then you offended all the princesses? They will definitely hold a grudge! Maybe they will wait for an opportunity to retaliate soon! Oh, you...how did you get a red head? My God, God is really playing tricks on people!" After hearing this, Concubine Ning not only did not eat in peace, but murmured even more restlessly, "What should I do? They will definitely find trouble to frame you so that you cannot marry Dongfang Wei. Even if you marry To Dongfang Wei, you have no power or influence, you will definitely be bullied by him! Also, if you leave your mother, your mother will not be able to take care of you. If something happens, you will not even have a rescuer! What should I do? What can I do?"
"Mother, you don't have to think too much." Xinchen felt that her mother was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of grass ropes for ten years.You should be cautious in everything, but for things you can't do anything about, it's better to let nature take its course.
She pressed her mother on the chair again, and slowly analyzed to her mother: "It's useless to worry. The emperor has already said so absolutely, no one is allowed to object, and of course we can't refuse. If the other princesses want revenge , we can't stop it. Don't worry, the most is to be framed into the cold palace to accompany the aunts again. It's no different from now. As for Dongfang Wei, he will definitely not want to marry me, a princess with no power and no background. The obsession with him and the other princesses should be able to persuade the father to change the candidate."
The daughter's leisurely and calm tone comforted her, and Concubine Ning unknowingly took the bowl that her daughter stuffed into her hand, and subconsciously ate the porridge into her mouth.
"No matter how bad it is, it doesn't matter if I really want to marry Dongfang Wei. Anyway, he is a weak scholar, so he should not have the strength to bully me. Also, the law stipulates that if the husband dies first after the princess gets married, he will be taken back to the palace. Yes. If something happens to Dongfang Wei, I can come back to accompany you." Xinchen helped her mother carry a small dish with chopsticks, and then continued, "Besides, the emperor has not issued an order yet, Dongfang Wei and other concubines will definitely If we try our best to save it, we don’t have to worry about it at all. Otherwise, we just need to go along with the flow and do something that Dongfang Wei hates, and it will definitely scare him away.” There are so many unfavorable aunts in the cold palace as role models. It's not easy to hate people!
After Xinchen finished speaking slowly, Concubine Ning also finished her breakfast.She thought for a while, and felt that what her daughter said was reasonable, "But, I'm always not sure, Xinchen, you'd better go to Lenggong to discuss with your aunts." More heads also have more ideas, although the princess The marriages are all appointed by the emperor and the queen mother, but you can try to find a way to avoid it.
"Yes, mother." Although I feel that the aunts can't come up with any good ideas, it's good to go back and get together.
"It's not too late, you go tonight!" Knowing her daughter's habit of procrastinating, Concubine Ning urged anxiously, after thinking for a while, she said: "No, let's go together." To save her daughter from dragging her feet, And she waited anxiously here.
"Okay." Xin Chen replied, tidying up the dishes.
After tidying up her mother's bedroom after dinner, Xinchen went to the woods behind the palace, sat under a big tree, and lowered her head to mend the clothes in her hands.
This is her only palace attire, and she has been wearing it for three years. She wore it to a banquet last night, but it was torn apart by another princess during the lottery.
Under the rising sun, Xinchen carefully compared the color of the silk thread in her hand with the color of the clothes, and made needles according to the texture of the clothes.Aunt Qiao'er taught her these, so that the clothes can be patched so that no traces can be seen.
Holding a fine needle in her hand, she deftly shuttled back and forth, and after a while, the clothes were mended. Xinchen put it in the sun for inspection, nodded with satisfaction, and folded it.
Then she took out a few old clothes to mend. After mending, she looked at the shoes she was wearing, and knew that the front end was almost through the bottom. She took it off and took a closer look. She felt that it should be wearable after adding a layer of soles.So she changed a needle, selected the right twine and rags, and began to stitch the soles.
Although he was in a bad mood, Dongfang Wei still felt as gentle as a spring breeze, and along the way, there were many people who took the initiative to salute.Something really bad happened this time!The queen mother did not accept his refusal, thinking that he was being modest.After making indirect remarks, he realized that the emperor had made a decision this time, and even said in front of everyone in the harem that no one should have any objections.It seems that the emperor's side is not easy to shirk.
And the final result of his negotiation with the Queen Mother was that he had to marry the princess. As for the candidate, he could discuss it later. As long as he liked other princesses, the Queen Mother could come forward to help him tell the emperor.
What's the difference?In the final analysis, I want him to be the son-in-law!
Alas, if he had known that this would be the result of performing too well, he would definitely get rid of his pushy habit!
After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, he wandered to this remote part of the harem with some annoyance. Who is that Princess Pingrui?How could the empress dowager and the emperor insist on marriage regardless of his objection?
Just now, after asking the father-in-laws, I found out that Concubine Ning and Princess Pingrui have fallen out of favor for a long time, and they are the most powerless concubines and princesses in the palace, so why did the emperor appoint her?The strange thing is that when the fathers-in-law heard this question, they all laughed and didn't answer, as if there was something hidden.
What are you doing!Dongfang Wei felt that something bad must have happened last night!Damn it!If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't run away if I killed him!The hot summer sun made him more irritable, so he turned into the thick woods beside the road.After walking in the woods for a while, the feeling of shade gradually penetrated into my heart, Dongfang Wei unfolded her fan and swayed gently, restoring her usual elegance.
The matter has come to this point, it is useless for him to bother, in fact, he has a sense of crisis of being a son-in-law a long time ago.The princesses are around him all day long, and the queen mother often mentions some things about the princess to him intentionally or unintentionally. He knows that the queen mother and the emperor love him, and sooner or later he will care about his marriage, and propose marriage for him, and the target is likely to be Princess.
Well, since becoming a son-in-law is irresistible, he has no choice but to accept it, and redesign his way of doing things in the future.
It is true that there are many inconveniences in marrying a princess as a wife, but as long as he is smart enough, he can also get a lot of convenience from it.For example, there is one more excuse for being lazy, and you can use it to shirk a lot of entertainment, you can avoid the forced marriage of your parents, you can stop the matchmaking by dignitaries... Yes, he is Dongfang Wei, and he has always been good at turning the situation to his own. favorable!
With his thoughts calmed down, Dongfang Wei began to enjoy the beautiful scenery in summer leisurely.This forest is a natural forest that has not been repaired. Although it lacks the beauty of artificial carvings, it has a simple and natural freshness. It seems to be a rare quiet place in the palace.
Stepping on the soft grass, Dongfang Wei thought about what the queen mother said, she said that he could choose another candidate.Alas, as far as he knows, all the princesses are idle women who only spend all their time dressing up and competing for beauty, which makes it difficult for him to make a decision!Alas, maybe he can make a fuss about the selection of candidates, coupled with occasional "morbidity", and then delay it for three to five years, when the princesses can't wait to marry others, he will be at ease!
Dongfang Wei smiled, knowing that this kind of thinking is naive, but it's okay to think about it in desperation!
"oops!"
"what?"
Unexpectedly, there was a person behind the big tree, and something was sticking out for him to step on. Dongfang Wei lowered his head—a little foot without shoes?
"Sorry, I didn't see you just now, didn't I trample on you?" Good upbringing made him apologize first.This little palace lady looks pretty, is she a palace lady?Not wearing palace clothes, but combing the hair style of a court lady.
Xinchen was frightened by the sudden appearance of people, since there was no one here.She was sitting in the shadow of a big tree mending shoes, but disaster fell from heaven.
This is within the scope of the Forbidden Palace, why did this person walk in casually?Hiding her sore foot under her skirt, she considered whether to scold him for intruding into the harem, but after thinking about it, she decided to find out his identity first.
"Hello? Did you hear me?" Dongfang Wei who couldn't wait for a response asked, this girl seemed a little dull.
"Who are you?" She asked, but she didn't answer the question.
It's really rude, forget it, he doesn't have to argue with the little maid, "I'm Dongfang Wei. I didn't step on you just now, did I?"
Dongfang Wei?Xin Chen raised her head to look at his face, but the sun was too strong, even if she squinted her eyes, she couldn't see clearly.So she put down the half-padded shoes on her knees, stood up to avoid the sun, and only then did she see him clearly.
This person was beyond her expectations.He was tall, more than a head taller than her, he was not thin, and his face was not sick, although he looked like a white-faced scholar, but his eyes were sharp, and he didn't look like a sick person at all.Even in his baggy robes, his figure was still slender and strong.Standing straight, with broad hands and strong knuckles, he is definitely not a weak person, but the thick calluses on the pulp of his right finger show that he is a scholar who often holds a pen.Is he... really Dongfang Wei?
Xinchen took half a step back and continued to look at his clothes.He didn't wear an official uniform, but the clothes he wore were of expensive materials and fine workmanship.It is said that Dongfang Wei is the only one who is not like a eunuch or a guard, and who can freely enter and leave the harem.
So Xinchen made a comprehensive estimate: the possibility that he is Dongfang Wei is nine out of ten.
Dongfang Wei frowned slightly, his patience was exhausted.How strange!Few people can make him frown, but this little maid can easily do it!In good conscience, she didn't do anything, she just left him to hang aside, carefully arranged the cloth shoes in her hand, then slowly got up, chose a good angle, and looked at him from head to toe slowly, stepped back half a step and Look at it from foot to head, as if you want to help him count the hairs carefully!
He shouldn't be impatient, his etiquette is impeccable, and his patience is notoriously good, and his self-cultivation is a model for the world!However, the eyes of this little maid made him lose his patience for no reason!
Dongfang Wei took a dark breath, suppressing the impatience in his chest.He won't be rude, he is Taifu Dongfang Wei!How could his self-cultivation be defeated in front of this little maid? "It seems that you're fine, so I'll go first." This little maid had just entered the palace, and she didn't even salute when she saw the Taifu. According to the palace rules, it was a felony.
Xin Chen didn't call him, and watched him go away silently.Dongfang Wei?It's different from what she imagined.
Lenggong, as the name suggests, should be deserted and miserable.
However, as the saying goes, three women play one drama, let alone so many boring women get together?So in Xinchen's memory, Leng Gong is always bustling.
But she didn't know that only when she was there would the cold palace be full of excitement.It's not that Xinchen is very lively, in fact she talks the least, but it's inexplicable that when they meet her, those frustrated women talk more.
That night, Concubine Ning's mother and daughter slipped into the cold palace while avoiding the patrol of the guards.
The Leng Palace does not allow concubines to enter at will. Although it is not a felony to be found out, Concubine Ning has always asked her daughter to be careful in order to avoid giving people a rumor.
Entering the gate of the cold palace, Concubine Ning pointed left and right, "Your side, my side, separate to gather people, and gather under the big pagoda tree in the backyard!" After speaking, she hurriedly took the lead.
After Xinchen watched his mother go away, he walked slowly to the door of the first room and knocked on the door gently: "Aunt Gu, are you asleep?"
The woman who was moaning in the room immediately rejuvenated, "Where is it Xinchen? Didn't sleep, didn't sleep!" rushed over and opened the door, "Come here, come in quickly! Why are you free to come here today?"
"Hello, Aunt Gu." Xinchen bowed to salute, then straightened up, huh?Where's Aunt Gu?
While in doubt, Aunt Gu rushed up to her quickly, stuffed a stack of papers into her arms, and dragged her into the room.
"Come on, here are a few essays that Aunt Gu wrote this month. Read them for me and tell me what you think?" Although she was Xinchen's first teacher, Xinchen was talented and smart, and her literary talent was already above hers. Writing a few poems and prose when she is free to discuss with Xin Chen is her only spiritual sustenance now.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Gu, can I take a look when I go back?" Xinchen folded the messy papers in her arms one by one, "I came here with my mother tonight. Because I have something, my mother said it to share with everyone." Auntie to discuss what to do. So now I’m here to invite you to the backyard, where we can discuss.”
"Do you have something? What's the matter? All right, don't say it yet." Knowing Xinchen's slow personality, she helped her make a decision, "Let's talk in the backyard! Are you going to notify other people? I'll help you notify the east side People, hurry up like this."
"Oh, yes." By the time she finished answering, Aunt Gu had long since disappeared.
Xinchen walked to the next room and saw the light coming from inside, so she opened the door and went in, "Auntie Qiaoer, I'm coming in."
The humming machine in the room suddenly stopped, and a petite figure greeted him, "Xinchen, you are here! Aunt Qiaoer is looking forward to your coming. Come on, I have designed a new silk embroidery stitch for you. Take a look." During the days in the cold palace, you can only practice the handicraft skills you have learned hard in the past to talk about it, but without Xinchen's appreciation, no matter how exquisite the embroidery is, it will be in vain.
"I'm sorry, Auntie Qiaoer, can I see it another day?..."
Okay, the next Aunt Yuyan, well, the moonlight is so beautiful, she must be on the other side of the courtyard, right?Walking through the corridor to the patio, I saw Aunt Yuyan dancing in the moonlight.
Xinchen stopped aside, smiling and watching Aunt Yuyan's light, elegant, and graceful waist-bending dance, and when she finished dancing, she couldn't help applauding and admiring.
"Xinchen?" Yuyan turned her head and was pleasantly surprised to see Xinchen standing aside, "How about it, do you think Auntie's new dance steps are good?" In Xinchen, she regained her love for dance and devoted herself to creating more perfect dances.
"Very good! But," Xinchen grabbed Yuyan who was about to help her tie her waist, "Aunt Yuyan, can I learn it later? Because tonight..." Following the same pattern, after a few rooms, Xinchen Go to this room and knock on the door, "Aunt Xiuli, are you there?"
No one answered, Xinchen listened intently, and there was a faint sobbing and sighing sound from inside.Aunt Xiuli was indeed there, so she pushed open the room and went in, "Aunt Xiuli, I'm coming in."
The house was pitch-black, only the moonlight shone through the window, a graceful figure gazed at the moonlight through the window, wiping his tears from time to time.
Xin Chen approached the figure, softly interrupting her self-pity and self-harm. "Aunt Xiuli."
Xiuli turned her head, and she turned out to be a glamorous beauty dressed up, but with a little more wrinkles on her face, "Xinchen, look, how beautiful the moonlight is tonight. Alas, it's a pity that the moon is still the same, and everything is wrong!" said He couldn't help but shed another big tear.
Xinchen patted her comfortingly, "Auntie Xiuli, don't be sad."
"How can I not be sad?" Xiuli looked out of the window sadly, "I think back then, my family was as beautiful as a flower, and it was just the time of youth. Which man would not feel pity when he saw it? Back then..." Recalling the past is what she lives on now. But only Xinchen would listen to her quietly, no matter how many times she listened to it, she would listen carefully like the first time, never getting impatient or interrupting her.
Xinchen listened and handed her a handkerchief in due course.
"... That's it. That year, I became a noble concubine and was loved all the time! You don't know how much the emperor loved me at that time. Once..."
Suddenly a voice came in, interrupting Xiuli's ecstatic narration, "What's there? You played it a thousand times this time! Xinchen, didn't your mother tell Qi Ren to come to the backyard quickly? Why are you still here? Listen to her nonsense?"
"Hello, Aunt Honglian." Xin Chen turned around and saluted the visitor.
"Okay, girl, it's still so slow." Honglian came over, dragging one with each hand, "Let's go, I'm just missing you!"
"Hey, ugly woman, what are you doing? Let go, don't wrinkle my clothes!" Xiuli protested.I hate it, she only got along with Xinchen for a while, and then was interrupted by these ugly women, it's really annoying!
"Shut up, Xinchen has something important to do, hurry up to the backyard and discuss it together!"
"Huh?" Xiuli stopped struggling, "What about Xinchen? What's the matter?"
"Let's talk when we get there, let's go!"
In the backyard of the Leng Palace, on the stone tables and benches under the big pagoda tree, women of all kinds were sitting.
"Okay, everything is here, tell me what's going on?"
Xinchen put the things in his hands away, and Fang said, "It's like this, yesterday..."
"Forget it, Xinchen, let's talk, mother." Concubine Ning interrupted her daughter's tone of talking about Gu, otherwise it would be dawn after she finished speaking, "This time something big happened! Xinchen was married by the emperor!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked!
"The thing is like this..." Concubine Ning recounted the incident from the beginning, "...that's it, we want to discuss with you what to do."
"What else can I do? Find a way to push it away!" Aunt Gu jumped up and shouted before she could finish speaking, "Xin Chen must not marry those stinky men! No man is a good thing..."
"Hey, don't you speak from your own experience! Because you're an old maid who doesn't appreciate a man's good, you're saying such sour words." Another woman interrupted her.
Aunt Gu was furious: "What did you say? I kept my innocence because I didn't want to be tarnished by those stinky men!"
"Hmph, forget it, you're unpopular because you think you've read a few books and you're high-spirited, and you've been beaten to the sidelines without even seeing the emperor's face! It's not like me..."
"You slutty woman, don't teach Xinchen badly!"
"Is it okay to be an old maid like you? You're the one who hurt Xinchen!"
This kind of bickering among the women in the cold palace may be staged at any moment, and everyone didn't bother to listen, and discussed with the people around them.Amidst the humming of the crowd, Xinchen's soft voice sounded: "Aunt Susu, do you have something to say?"
Then everyone's eyes turned to the figure in the corner, and the figure shrank even more into the dark, trembling with fear.
Hong Lian walked over and pulled her out, "Why are you hiding? We won't eat you! You are so timid and timid that you will not be favored. If you have anything to say, say it!"
Su Su, who was pulled out of the light, was trembling. In fact, she was a rather young and beautiful woman, and I felt pity for her weak temperament.Her lips were murmured, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Auntie Susu," Xin Chen went to hold her hand, "Don't be afraid, speak slowly."
Being gently comforted by Xin Chen, Su Su spoke a little louder: "I, I know... what kind of person Dongfang Wei is..."
"You know? That's right! You only came in last year, and you know the current situation outside best! Tell me, what kind of man is he?" Everyone gathered around him.
After Susu’s intermittent narration, everyone concluded three points:
One is that Dongfang Wei is a great talent, with good character, good family background, and good looks.
The second is that Dongfang Wei has a weak body and a gentle personality.
The third is that the emperor and empress dowager value Dongfang Wei very much, and he is also the person the princesses most want to marry.
"That said, marrying Dongfang Wei is also a great joy. Concubine Ning, if Xinchen marries him, your luck will change and you will be favored again!"
"What are you talking about? Xinchen is going to leave us after she gets married!"
"How can you be so selfish? Xinchen has also reached the age of marriage, do you think she will spend her whole life in the palace?"
"What's wrong with that? It's safe and sound."
"Ping An's head! It's meaningless at all! When I get old, I will die of loneliness!"
"I think Dongfang Wei is pretty good."
"What do you know? The more famous a man is, the worse he is!"
……
Xinchen smiled, these are the women in the cold palace!
They usually take care of each other, but they can gather together to find a solution for her affairs; they have their own beauty, talent, temperament, shortcomings and dark sides... This is what cultivated her together. The women of , her lovely and unique aunts.
Instead of participating in the discussion, Xinchen brought tea from the house, and also found a few packets of melon seeds and candied fruit, and sent them to the aunts who were arguing red-faced.
Three women in one drama, six women in one street, let alone a dozen lonely women get together?It's normal to be noisy!Concubine Ning was not as leisurely as her daughter, and everyone's messy opinions made her dizzy even more.what to do?Don't even think about reaching a conclusion if this goes on!
At this time, the debate in the venue became more intense.
"Don't tell me these things! Back then, I was a talented woman, and I read a lot of poetry and books! How could I not understand these principles?"
"So what if you have studied? I have been in the Yuefu since I was a child. Which high-ranking official's house in the capital hasn't been there? Mr. Wang and Sun have seen a lot, and they know men better than you!"
"What are you bragging about? Do you know more about men than I do? I was specially trained by the prince's mansion to serve the emperor..."
"Didn't you end up in the cold palace? How dare you say it!"
"You bitch..."
Xinchen helped her mother who was about to faint, still smiling leisurely.I have guessed it a long time ago, every time the aunts discuss things, they will end up being far away from the topic in the end.After staying in the cold palace for a long time, I completely forgot what business is, anyway, I have a lot of free time.
The crowd became louder and louder, but Xinchen was not in a hurry, and slowly responded to the demands of the aunts: "Yes, Aunt Honglian is the best at dressing up...Don't be angry, Aunt Gu, you are the best at playing the pipa... Of course Auntie Zhang on Qinyi... Yes, that's right... Yes, Aunt Qiaoer... Of course... Aunt Gu, please sit down... Aunt Yuyan, it's dangerous to stand so high... Be careful, Aunt Bai... ..."
Just like that, amidst Concubine Ning's headache and annoyance, amidst the women's clamor and Xin Chen's peaceful mediation, the sky turned pale.
Under Xin Chen's consolation, a dozen or so women yawned and went back to their room while arguing with unfinished content.
And the weak Concubine Ning returned to the palace with the support of her daughter.
Only Xinchen was still smiling, ah, another lively and beautiful night has passed!
"What should I do?" Concubine Ning was helped to bed by her daughter, and pitifully held her daughter who was about to leave, "Do you want to marry Dongfang Wei?"
Why are you still thinking about this?Xin Chen laughed, "Mother, it's not up to me to decide whether to marry or not, is it?"
Concubine Ning was stunned, watching her daughter go out gently and close the door, and slowly closed her eyes.
That's right, they are puppets in the deep palace who are at the mercy of others, and they have no choice at all.Xinchen has seen through this point a long time ago, so she is so leisurely, right?
After helping her mother to sleep, Xinchen yawned and walked to her bedroom.
I'm so tired, I can hardly keep my eyes open, I wish I could see the bed right away.
"Princess, princess!" Xiaoping, the maid who was serving them, hurried over, "Princess Pingyang and Pingzhao sent someone to invite you over."
"Huh?" It's just dawn, what's the point of looking for her so early?Xinchen knew that the princesses would come to trouble her sooner or later, so she didn't know what tricks they would use, "Where are the people here?"
"Wait in front of the palace gate." Xiaoping replied, and then said hesitantly: "Should I inform Concubine Ning? They probably have bad intentions." Of course she knew about the emperor's marriage proposal, and she also knew that it had already annoyed her. Princesses.Mother had just fallen asleep, and it was useless to inform her. "No need, after your mother gets up, tell her that I'm going to visit the garden, so you don't have to wait for me to eat." Xin Chen said and walked slowly towards the palace gate.
"Princess," Xiaoping followed up worriedly, "Why don't I go with you."
Before Xin Chen could answer, the two eunuchs who were waiting in front of the palace had already yelled: "Presumptuous! Princesses' party, how can you be a slave! So big or small, didn't your master teach you well?" ?”
Even though she knew that the two were sarcastically mocking the princess, Xiaoping still backed away, not daring to make a sound, she was just an insignificant little maid!
"Okay, I can go by myself. Two father-in-laws, I don't know where Princess Pingyang and Pingzhao want me to meet?"
"Oh, back to Princess Pingrui, Princesses Pingyang and Pingzhao just got a kind of rice noodles from Nanling the day before yesterday. Come with the servants."
Knowing that this disaster is inevitable, Xinchen had no choice but to follow.As long as he is cautious and tolerant, nothing major will happen, it's just a little tricked by them.
Xiaoping, who was secretly anxious and helpless, was left behind, and walked around the door anxiously.
Alas, it's really embarrassing for a princess who is not favored and has no backstage!
