Chapter 74 Seventh Princess

Xiaodong saw Qin Nv again, she was wearing a bright red gauze dress, standing gracefully on a lotus-shaped platform.

She has long been the top-notch kabuki in Jiaofang, and today she is singing a cheerful and auspicious song. Qin Nu's singing voice is clear and sweet, and it sounds like gurgling spring water in the stuffy hall, which makes people feel The heat subsides.

To be honest, Xiaodong has seen her several times, but never once could he see what she looks like.

In fact, her appearance is not important, her most beautiful place is her voice.

Zhao Zhi rested her chin, she was intoxicated when she heard it, and she was still fascinated after Qin Nv sang and quit.

"sounds so good."

"Yeah." Xiaodong was surprised when he turned his head, the bunch of grapes had only stems left, and the grapes on it had been eaten up.But what about grape skins and grape seeds?Not on the table, not on the ground.

Could it be that the Seventh Princess ate all of them without spitting out the skin or seeds?
Surely this kid hasn't eaten grapes before?
Ah, no, wait.

Xiaodong remembered how she was treated when eating grapes in the past. Mrs. Hu or the maids washed their hands, peeled the skins and picked out the seeds with silver picks before giving them to her to eat.Is it because no one skinned the Seventh Princess, so the girl even ate the skin?
Maybe so.

The singing and dancing on the field could not attract her at all, and the attention of the Seventh Princess was all on the fruit dishes on the table.

But she just watched and didn't do anything herself.

Xiaodong became more and more determined in his mind. The child was probably starving, but usually he would open his mouth for the food served by the wet nurse in the palace, so he would not touch the dishes, cups and chopsticks with his hands.

In other words, even if Princess Seven's mother is not qualified enough or unable to come due to illness, didn't her wet nurse come with her?

Xiaodong looked back, there were quite a few palace attendants standing by, and there were also female officials, but she didn't see anyone like Princess Seven's nurse.

But when Xiaodong looked around, someone came over.

It's Caigu.

Now Caigu is very respectable, and no one in the full harem wants to offend her.Caigu was also generous and magnanimous, Xiaodong looked around like this, and didn't look at anyone else, so he looked at her.

"Princess, but what is missing? Or do you want to eat?"

The sixth princess was sitting on the mat over there, and she was already looking here.

Xiaodong asked in a low voice: "The Seventh Princess has come to our place, her wet nurse has gone somewhere, didn't she follow her to serve her?"

Cai Gu responded: "I'll send someone to pass it on." She beckoned an old and stable palace servant to serve the Seventh Princess first.

Zhao Zhi whispered to Xiaodong's ear: "I said, you went to school when you were younger than her, but when she is so old, no one mentions going to school?"

If my mother is not favored, all good things will never happen.

Cut off some for food, some for clothing, and some for use... button up layer by layer, I'm afraid there won't be much left.

However, Xiaodong still felt that the seventh princess was too quiet, even if a child of this age was afraid of others, he wouldn't be so quiet and silent for a long time, right?
After a while, a palace servant came around from behind the screen, first saluted Xiaodong and Zhao Zhi, and then said: "This servant is a palace maid from Caiwei Palace."

The seventh princess also saw her, and she carefully pulled the seventh princess away.

Zhao Zhi is generous on the one hand, but also stingy on the other hand.

"Let her eat all the grapes without saying a word of thanks."

"She's a child."

Zhao Zhi looked around and leaned over: "I heard someone say..." The second half of the sentence was so low that I could barely hear: "The seventh princess is a bit stupid..."

Xiaodong was surprised: "Who said that?"

"Someone is always whispering."

Xiaodong also felt that she was a bit silly for asking this question.

Zhao Zhi's news has always been well-informed. Her family has a lot of sisters, brothers and sisters-in-law. What can everyone do if they have nothing to do every day?It must be gossip, and the parents gossip to pass the time.

Xiaodong also felt a bit like saying it this way, the seventh princess didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and...

And her eyes were a little dull.

Even if a child likes to eat and see gorgeous singing and dancing, he will raise his eyes to divert his attention, right?
The seventh princess seemed to keep her head down.

That's really the case, I'm still young, I can get by.What will she do when she grows up in the future?

"I'm going to change clothes, are you going?"

"Okay, let's go together."

While they were washing their hands, Zhao Zhi whispered, "Did you see the birthday gift presented by the fifth princess?"

Xiaodong only glanced at it from a distance, it seemed to be a jade statue of Avalokitesvara.

"I took a look at Kong Kong, my dear, what a delicate Guanyin. It is white jade, but there is a powder in the white of the fingers on the cheek. Moreover, the willow branch inserted in the jade bottle is a coincidence. It is green and shiny.

"The willow branch in the net bottle is also in one piece?"

"Yes."

That's rare.

Zhao Zhi curled her lips: "Ming Guifei is really a big deal."

Xiaodong smiled: "Of course, my mother has good things, if I don't give it to my daughter, who will I give it to?"

Zhao Zhi kept something in her mouth without saying it.

Concubine Ming is beautiful and good at being a human being, and the fifth princess is also beautiful and intelligent, but unfortunately she just doesn't have a son.The year before last, she was pregnant with one, but inexplicably lost it again. At that time, more than a dozen palace servants were implicated and lost their lives.

It was hot in the hall, so the two simply sat and rested on the pavilion behind the hibiscus flower, when a cool breeze blew, Zhao Zhi stretched out: "It's too stuffy in the hall, so many people, dressed so thickly and sitting upright , so that I will suffer."

Xiaodong smiled: "But it's not enough for someone to want to suffer this kind of punishment."

"It is."

Those with insufficient status cannot enter.

"I heard that the imperial concubine spent this amount preparing the bottle of Jade Guanyin for the fifth princess." Zhao Zhi stretched out five fingers to compare.

"Who did you hear from?"

"My second brother said it. It seems that the imperial concubine originally prepared a bonsai from Shoubi Nanshan, but for some reason, it was replaced with this Guanyin statue. This was prepared temporarily, from the largest one in the capital. I bought it from Jubao from all over the world."

She had heard a lot.

Xiaodong's family population in his previous life was also simple, but in this life the same, there are only three members in his family, and he really can't understand the scene where there are women all over the yard chatting together...

Well, a little envious.

With so many people in the family...

Xiaodong was slightly lost in thought, Zhao Zhi suddenly pulled her, and Xiaodong didn't understand what was going on, so she pulled her to squat down together.

"what happened?"

Zhao Zhi raised her finger and gave a "hush", pointing to a place not far ahead.

Xiaodong turned her head to look, but she only saw two servants quickly dragging a person across the corner, and she didn't know where he went.

There are many such things in the palace, many people disappeared for no reason, and others never mentioned it, as if this person never existed.

Xiaodong suddenly thought of Yao Jinfeng.

"Probably a palace man who made a mistake..."

Even though they said this, the two of them felt that it was not appropriate to stay outside, and it was better to go back to the palace.

Someone patted on the shoulder suddenly, Xiaodong was startled, but when he turned his head, he saw Zhao Lu's smiling face: "You two are not staying in the palace, come here to play hide-and-seek?"

Zhao Zhi also patted her chest, and let out a big breath: "You want to scare people to death, why is there no sound when you walk?"

Zhao Lu apologized with a smile: "It's all my fault. Seeing that you have been out for so long and haven't returned, I feel a little worried. Go in quickly, the grand finale will be here soon."

Xiaodong didn't pay attention to the finale, but he added a delicious dish, a cup of soft steamed cheese, chilled with ice, with a hint of white gas escaping from it, and various dried fruits sprinkled on the surface.Xiaodong scooped it up with a spoon and was about to put it in his mouth, but the hem of his clothes tightened.She turned her head to look, and the Seventh Princess had slipped back at some point, looking eagerly at the spoonful of cheese she was about to bring to her mouth.

Where did this kid come from?
Xiaodong hesitated, and Zhao Zhi had already seen her.

"Seventh Princess?"

Being watched by her, no matter what, Xiaodong can't just eat his food as if nothing happened.

"Where is the palace man following you?"

Seventh Princess shook her head, probably meaning that she didn't know, but she kept looking at Xiaodong without blinking.
