Resourceful beauty

Chapter 174
"Miss, Uncle Ning Shan's Mansion sent a wedding egg, saying that Princess Sixteen gave birth to a little prince at midnight yesterday."

In Shuyuxuan, Fang Ruxuan had just finished her breakfast when Ding Xiang brought Zhang Dahong's gold-painted post with a happy face and came in with a small basket of extremely pleasing red wedding eggs in her hand.

Since Uncle Ningshan sent the eggs, they naturally sent them to Chen Mei, the head of the house. Fang Ruxuan received this basket, and Princess Sixteen probably ordered someone to prepare it separately.

Fang Ruxuan asked Ding Xiang with a smile, "Who is here? Did you bring any words?"

Handed the post to Fang Ruxuan, and put the basket on the table, Ding Xiang turned her head and replied, "It's a woman from Mrs. Ning Shanbo's courtyard who sent two sets of wedding eggs, one to the crown prince. I went there, and the other one was given to you by Princess Sixteen's special order. The post is also for you."

It was a post inviting Fang Ruxuan to visit Ningshan Bo's Mansion. The handwriting was vigorous, and one could tell at a glance that it was not written by Princess Sixteen. Presumably, it was written by Bai Zixuan.

In the capital, whenever a female family member is about to give birth, most of them have accepted the invitation to participate in the third baptism ceremony, and they only come to the door on the day of the third baptism. The Sixteenth Princess treats Fang Ruxuan, which shows that she really does not treat her as an outsider.

Let Ding Xiang go to the storeroom to pick out some gifts for the occasion, change clothes and dress up again, go to Qingfengzhai to say hello to Chen Mei, Fang Ruxuan went to Ningshanbo Mansion.

In the main room of Weirui Garden, there is a faint aroma of milk. On the table at the top, there is a plate of wedding eggs, surrounded by six plates of seasonal fruits.

In the inner room, Princess Sixteen was lying on the bed weakly, talking to Bai Zixuan who was sitting beside the bed. Although her face was pale, she seemed to be in good spirits.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan coming in, the Sixteenth Princess urged Bai Zixuan with some disgust, "Go do your work, as long as Ruxuan stays with me."

Bai Zixuan laughed, "Just now, who was pestering me to talk and not allow me to leave? Now you despise me?"

Princess Sixteen gave him a sideways look in embarrassment, turned her head and waved at Fang Ruxuan, "Come and sit down, I don't have much strength now, and my voice is quiet. You stand so far away, are you trying to exhaust me to death?"

Greeted Bai Zixuan, saw him turn around and go out, Fang Ruxuan stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, pinched her cheek, "I'm already a mother, there's no taboo, what's the matter of life and death? You Don't worry, you will live a long life. If Shizi Bai doesn't give birth to ten or eight children, how can he let you go? At that time, there will be so many troublesome children by your side, so you don't have to worry about it. "

A tinge of blood appeared on her face, and Princess Sixteen annoyed softly, "What if I'm a sow in a farm pen? There are still ten or eight, but you are not married yet, and your mouth is getting more and more unforgiving... ..."

As she was talking, she seemed to think of something, Princess Sixteen turned her head and told Chen Xiang who was standing in the distance, "Go and bring Brother Yun and let Princess Xuanyi have a look."

Shen Sheng smiled and went out, after a while, a plump woman with white jade face came in behind Chen Xiang, holding a big red silk baby in her arms.

Princess Sixteen tucked away a strand of quilt, and the nurse took advantage of the situation and placed the baby beside Princess Sixteen.

The little baby's face was still a little red and wrinkled, but his hair was extremely thick. Maybe he just fell asleep after feeding, his small mouth was still moving from time to time, and his two small hands were tightly clenched into fists.

Fang Ruxuan playfully stretched out her index finger to touch his fist socket. The little guy seemed to be able to feel half of it, and gradually loosened his hand. When Fang Ruxuan stretched his finger in, he held it tightly again.

"Sister Qian, look, he is so cute, you say, he likes me, right?"

Fang Ruxuan was delighted.

The sixteenth princess looked at her son with a loving mother and tenderness, and said softly: "You are his aunt, so he naturally likes you."

After talking for a while, Princess Sixteen raised her hand and yawned, her face couldn't hide the tiredness.

The nurse stepped forward and hugged Brother Yun.

Fang Ruxuan also resigned at the right time, "It's only been a few hours since you gave birth, so it's time to take a good rest. I'll come to see you again at three o'clock."

The sixteenth princess nodded, took Fang Ruxuan's hand and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in your ceremony. It's a pity. Don't blame me."

Fang Ruxuan shook her head with a smile, "You gave birth to Lin'er, and I'm going to wait until now, but Shuangxi, it's too late to be happy, so how can I blame you?"

As he spoke, he blinked again and said, "Since you can't attend, you should prepare a generous gift, at least to comfort and comfort my regretful mood."

The Sixteenth Princess made a gesture to pinch Fang Ruxuan's mouth, but she couldn't get up after all, so she gave her a sideways look and said, "Don't worry, I will surely collect the best things from my small storeroom for you."

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and snickered.

The grandson of the eldest son of Ning Shanbo's mansion was born, but the three ceremonies were extremely low-key. He only invited close relatives and a few close friends of the family, and spread the word that the full moon ceremony was organized wantonly.

The sixteenth princess also specially sent a message to Fang Ruxuan that she would not have to go there on the third day of the wedding, so that she could prepare for her wedding ceremony, which was the most important day in her daughter's life besides her wedding.

Fang Ruxuan didn't care too much about it, but everyone around her was more nervous than her.

Almost since April, Chen Mei began to prepare for Fang Ruxuan's wedding ceremony, and when the rumors about the lone star of the evil spirit were raging in the capital, Chen Mei put all her energy into organizing a grand ceremony for Fang Ruxuan. The Jiji ceremony.

How to put it, Fang Ruxuan is also the Princess of the royal family, no matter how extravagant or grand, as long as she doesn't go beyond the old rules of the princesses and Ji in the palace, it is not too much, right?
With such a mentality, although Chen Mei has a big belly, she doesn't let go of even the smallest details, and strives to make the big and small things perfect that day. These days, whenever Fang Ruxuan goes, Chen Mei is always looking at the account book, or just reading the book. The roster flow sheet really made Fang Ruxuan feel like "a sister-in-law is like a mother".

In the early morning of June [-]th, just after dawn, Fang Ruxuan got up before Ding Xiang and Su Ye called out.

Wearing the peach red dress that Chen Mei ordered the masters of Zhensifang to make carefully in the morning, Fang Ruxuan stood in front of the bronze mirror, like a peach blossom that was waiting to bloom.

Fang Ruxuan went straight to the Jingxin Pavilion without bringing anyone with her.

Kneeling in front of her mother's tablet and muttering to herself for a long time, and then coming out of the Jingxin Pavilion, the tears that were mottled on her face have disappeared completely, only the crystal clear eyes that have been washed by water, and the softness of her face full of good expectations for the future smile.

I went back to Shuyuxuan, had breakfast, and made up again, and the drums and music were already playing outside. I don't know, I thought someone was marrying a bride and a daughter.

Zhengbin was the queen mother who had sent a message early in the morning, instructing the queen, and the queen readily agreed.

The praiser was Song Yue, who must have been appointed by the empress.

As for Yousi, Chen Mei consulted the Bai family and arranged for Su Rou, the daughter of Su Deping, the great master of the Su family.

Fang Ruxuan and Su Rou have met a few times, she just thinks that she is a very gentle and quiet girl, most of them usually follow Xu Shi's side, or embroider and read in her own room, Bai Shi seems to like her very much, if Fang Ruxuan goes to Bai Shi If they want to stay for a meal, they will usually ask Su Rou to accompany them. The two girls move and stay still. Bai Shi always jokes that they are beautiful and delicious, just looking at them is pleasing to the eye, and they can eat half a bowl more.

At that time, Fang Ruxuan hugged Bai's arm and acted like a baby, while Su Xiu blushed and lowered her head silently, her small appearance was very cute.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Fang Ruxuan faced the south and raised her hands solemnly to thank the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

After the three pluses, Fang Ruxuan reappeared in front of everyone, wearing a red dress with long sleeves. First, she knelt down in the direction of the palace, and then the queen said the last words of congratulations with a glass of wine. Fang Ruxuan accepted He passed the wine glass and spilled all the wine in the glass on the ground in front of him.

After the ceremony was completed, Fang Ruxuan smiled and saluted the queen, and then blessed Song Yue and Su Rou.

When he raised his eyes, he saw King Qi who was sitting in the first seat with tears in his eyes, as if he was sighing: There is a girl in my family who has just grown up.

The queen returned to the palace after not staying for long. Song Yue seemed to be going back to the palace with her, and she apologized to Fang Ruxuan with an apologetic face. Yue'er is going to give sister Ruxuan a wedding gift, and I hope she will accept it."

Fang Ruxuan thanked her, Song Yue smiled and turned to leave.

In the evening, I went back to Shu Yuxuan again. The huge main room was filled with brocade boxes of all sizes, and there was almost no place to step down. Ding Xiang and the others hid in the inner room.

Knowing the consequences of being the empress' empress, Fang Ruxuan was still a little surprised, and Su Ye said eagerly, "Today, I'm afraid it will take midnight to unwrap presents, so I don't know what's so strange Weird thing, madam, you're rich."

After Su Ye finished speaking, Ding Xiang gave her a scornful look.

Now, there are only Sifangzhai and Zangbao Pavilion. It is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Ruxuan is making a lot of money every day. These gifts are really a drop in the bucket.

In addition to the rewards from the palace, they are all ordinary gifts from the noble families in the capital, but the pair of crystal clear purple jade Ruyi sent by the Sixteenth Princess is really eye-catching, just like the one she had on that day. She said that she would give Fang Ruxuan the best things in her small warehouse.

Caressing the pair of Ziyu Ruyi, Fang Ruxuan had a warm smile on her face.

The gift boxes Song Yue sent, except for a small kang screen with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which looked like Song Yue's handwriting, the others were either extremely valuable or weird, no need to guess, Fang Ruxuan knew it was Song Qian's gift. of.

Put the Kang screen back into the brocade box and put it away, Fang Ruxuan pointed to the other boxes, "Put it in that box."

Ding Xiang nodded, and went out with a stack of brocade boxes.

In the middle of the night, when the busy work was finally over, Fang Ruxuan only felt that all the bones in her body were stiff.

Kapok came in from the outside, holding a small box the size of a palm in his hand, "Miss, Chu Dong sent it, and said it was a gift from Young Master Chu to you."

When it was opened, it was a string of glazed bracelets, each of which was the size of a fingertip, and a small character was engraved with a small plum blossom hairpin.

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

By coincidence, Fang Ruxuan put the bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet won't loosen, but it won't strangle your hands, it seems to be tailor-made for her.

Looking at the shy face like a peach blossom in the mirror, Fang Ruxuan sighed sadly for a while.
