wedding dress

Chapter 24
Empress Dowager Shengci opened a smaller box, which contained four bodhi fruits.

"Keep this with you, even if you don't eat it, it's good to put it next to your pillow and smell it every day."

It was like a dream, when Xiaodong came out from the Holy Empress Dowager, she was still dizzy and unable to recover.

So, so valuable, beautiful jewelry - all hers?
Moreover, she and the Empress Dowager Shengci have only met three times, and the words she said were only ten sentences?Twenty sentences?Not any more.

Also, she still had four bodhi fruits in her sleeves.

Doesn't it mean that this fruit is extremely rare and precious?But in such a short period of time, it has already appeared in front of her for the third time.

Once for Zhao Lu, once for King An, and then once for Empress Dowager Shengci.

Hong Ling whispered: "Princess, be careful where you step. Shall we go find two cousin girls before leaving the palace?"

"Where's Mama Hu?"

"I went to the inner mansion to check the things of the princess. It seems that two of the winter clothes I made last time were not finished. Mama Hu must have delayed half the morning."

"Oh..." Xiaodong blinked.

It's not a bad feeling, suddenly I feel very rich——

The palace servants had already gone to ask for news and came back: "Princess Princess, the two cousin girls have left Penglai Palace and went to Jiyutang."

Xiaodong was very surprised: "Jiyutang?"

Shen Fang and Shen Qiang don't go to school, what do they go to school for?This is not a place where you can drop by casually.

The palace man explained: "The Empress Dowager Shengde just pointed Miss Shen to the fourth princess as a companion, and asked the senior female official to take her to the fourth princess of Jiyutang. Also, Miss Shen will not live in Prince An's Mansion from now on. "The palace student was afraid that Xiaodong wouldn't understand, so he added: "It's Miss Shen Fang."

Xiaodong couldn't figure it out, how could Shen Fang become the companion of the fourth princess in the time it took to eat breakfast?There were obviously three people when they came, but there were only two left when they returned?

Hong Ling and others thought Xiaodong's sluggishness was because she didn't understand what the palace man said just now.

The palace man explained: "The fourth princess was originally accompanied by the second lady of General Yuan's family. Last month, she was engaged and had to stay at home to prepare for marriage, so the school could not come. One year old, so..."

The reason is of course grand and sufficient, as if the right time, place, and people overlap perfectly at this moment, which just makes Shen Fang catch up, so she was hand-picked by the queen mother to accompany the fourth princess .

On the surface, Xiaodong, who was confused and calm, was howling in his stomach—what a coincidence!
But she only knew that there was something wrong with this assignment, but she didn't know what was wrong.

After all, she had never experienced this kind of silent, bloodless palace fighting before.No one in the palace, even the sixth princess who seemed to be innocent, was much more capable of intrigue and domination than her.

What's more, it is the aloof Empress Dowager Shengde who is making the move now.

Well, according to common sense, ginger is old and spicy.

Empress Dowager Shengde must have a reason for doing this.

But of course Xiaodong didn't know the reason.

Hong Ling asked cautiously: "Princess, shall we wait here for Miss Qiang to come back?"

Xiaodong shook his head: "Let's go find them."

Jiyutang is on the northeast side of the palace, Xiaodong and the others walk through the imperial garden, and they can see the roof of Jiyutang from a distance.

The palace man stopped and said softly: "Princess, I'll go over and ask first. The district lady is very strict, if she refuses, we can't go in."

District lady?
Xiaodong nodded and watched the palace man leave quickly, but fortunately he came back not long after, and said with a smile: "The district lady is easy to talk to today, she has already agreed, come on, Princess, let's go in first."

Xiaodong has something to worry about, but she is still curious about ancient women's studies.

The first impression is: this episode of Yutang Yard is really big.

Hong Ling smiled and asked softly: "I haven't seen this sister before, so I don't know how to call her?"

The palace man who led the way also replied in a low voice: "My name is Cai Gu."

"Sister Cai has been here before, right?"

"Well, I delivered something once before."

The corridor is empty, just like the old campus.After the class bell rang, the campus that had been noisy just now suddenly became quiet and empty.

After turning a corner, there is Jianzheng Hall in front of us.Caigu's footsteps were very light, and she pointed to the room.

Xiaodong took two quick steps, and when she reached the threshold, Hong Ling hurriedly picked her up and stepped over the threshold.

The room is warm and harmonious, with the smell of ink, tea, powder, books, and the gloomy wood smell of the old house, all mixed together.As soon as Xiaodong entered the room, there were whispers in the room, and the sound of chuckling suddenly fell silent.

The fourth princess stood up with a smile, and waved to Xiaodong: "Sister Xiaodong, come quickly, we were talking about you just now."

Shen Fang's expression was calm, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad after becoming the princess' companion.Shen Qiang was holding a plate of Jasper Plum Blossom Cake at the side, the corner of her mouth was even stained with cake crumbs, it could be seen that she must have only been eating it just now.

Xiaodong felt that his worries just now were a bit ridiculous, and his efforts were wasted.

Shen Fang is several years older than herself, she may not understand what she doesn't understand, and she may not understand what she doesn't understand.

As for Shen Qiang - she seemed to be much more relaxed than herself, she would never treat herself badly if she had something delicious.

"Sister Xiaodong, this is delicious, try it."

Xiaodong shook his head: "I'm full."

That's right, Shen Qiang can't be blamed for being greedy.They came to the palace early in the morning like myself, and they didn't care about eating.I had breakfast at the Empress Dowager Shengci, but Shen Fang and Shen Qiang were still hungry.

"Sister Xiaodong, come and sit." The sixth princess pulled her sleeves, pulled her to sit down beside her, and said in a low voice, "Your cousin has become the companion of fourth sister, who will play with you in the future."

Shen Qiang hurriedly swallowed the cake in her mouth: "I'm still with you."

The sixth princess just smiled.

This room looked like a lounge, with a dozen or so girls sitting there, like a handful of spring bamboo shoots, exuding a vigorous and fresh vitality.

"Sister Xiaodong might as well stay and study with us." The fifth princess suggested: "I remember that sister Xiaodong is only five years old. Didn't the eldest sister start school at the age of five?"

The fourth princess smiled and said: "Big sister didn't count her years as a false age, right? Besides, sister Xiaodong just arrived in the capital, so I'm afraid she hasn't gotten used to it yet, so she starts school a little earlier now."

At this time, I don't know how the false age is calculated. According to the full age, Xiaodong is not yet four years old, but according to the false age, he can already be counted as five years old.

There was a little girl next to her, who seemed to be less than ten years old, wearing a water-red satin jacket and a red eight-panel pleated skirt, holding a hand stove, and whispered: "This is not a good time to go to school either. , the weather is very cold, every morning when I get up, I wish I could slam my head against the bed rail, and pass out so that I can sleep more."

The people on the side laughed softly, and the fourth princess couldn't help but smile: "You are just a lazy girl." Then she said to Xiaodong: "This is Qin'er from Jingjun Wang's family, you can just call her sister Qin."

Zhao Qin wrinkled her nose and looked very playful: "Why am I the laziest? I don't believe that you can have a carp when you wake up every day."

Xiaodong and her greeted each other, before they had time to speak, there was a bang-dang sound outside, and everyone in the room stood up and said, "Ah, class is over."

The fourth princess hastily said: "Sister Xiaodong, let's go back first, Miss Shen will also go back to Prince An's Mansion first, tidy up her belongings, and formally come to school tomorrow. You don't need to bring books, paper and pens, everything is here. "He also asked Hong Ling: "Good life, take care of your princess."

The whole room was hollering and emptied all of a sudden, Shen Qiang swallowed the cake in her mouth forcefully, and muttered: "It doesn't look like a good job to go to school."
