Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 216

Princess Dingbei heard the words and was about to speak, but she saw Eunuch Yang bowing in, the conversation between the two was interrupted, the Empress Dowager couldn't help asking: "The child is gone?"

Eunuch Yang hurriedly said: "Miss Shen heard that the queen mother is in good health and has already laid down, and then she told the servants a few words about the planting method of the hairy lady, and then went."

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile on her face, and said: "This child has indeed grown up and has a heart."

Princess Dingbei also smiled when she heard the words, her eyes flickered, but she said: "Miss Shen and the third girl have always been on good terms, and they often go to the palace to play, and mother also likes her very much. Yes, Brother Cun also likes to join in the fun."

The queen mother was startled when she heard the words, and then sighed: "This girl is affectionate and righteous, and she is also intelligent, but it's a pity...Fengyanghou's mansion still has to rely on this girl, and now the palace is on the cusp, but You can't have a mistress who shows up all day."

The Empress Dowager said with a gloomy expression on her face, and said: "Miss Qing was also raised by my side back then, and she left at a young age, leaving only such a young girl. You have always been gentle, and so is Brother Cun. It's safe, if I can mourn my family, I would like to say that this relative..."

Seeing the empress dowager was sad, Eunuch Yang smiled and persuaded him: "Miss Shen has accumulated blessings in her previous life to have the empress dowager loving her. If the empress dowager is willing, she can help miss Shen to watch more. The good people in the capital are gone. Are you afraid you won't be able to find a good relative for Miss Shen? When the time comes for the Empress Dowager to hold the wedding ceremony, I'm afraid you will be envious of all the ladies in Beijing."

The Empress Dowager nodded when she heard the words, and said thoughtfully: "However, there are a few young masters from Ai's family who look good..."

After all, thinking about this matter, I can't be in a hurry, so I put it aside for the time being, and said to Princess Dingbei: "The Ai family is also tired today, it's still the same sentence, you go back and tell Xia Chong'er, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion I can't touch it now, look at what the emperor means. Although it will be a matter of time before King Liping becomes the crown prince, my Wen family has been honored and favored. , the emperor is now in the prime of his life, it is hard to say what will happen in the future, tell him to take care of Aijia, if you only know how to save power and don't know how to release it, it will lead to disaster sooner or later, I'm afraid It’s like holding sand in the palm of your hand, the more you accumulate, the more you lose.”

Princess Dingbei hurriedly responded when she heard the words, then stood up, kowtowed respectfully and bowed back.

The Queen said that the garden and the lake are not about visiting the inner palace, but about the royal garden Xiyuan in the northwest of the inner palace. Xiyuan is the largest royal garden in the imperial city. Hanzhang Mountain is also in the leeward direction, so the winter climate is pleasant and never freezes. The emperor often took the nobles in the palace to go boating on Qionghua Lake in winter.

After Hui'an left Chengning Palace, she went to find Wen Jingxin and others, and when she heard that all the young ladies had gone to swim in the lake, she hurried to Qionghua Lake in Xiyuan with the leading lady.

Xiyuan is beautifully built, with unique pavilions and winding corridors. Along the way, Hui'an keeps meeting noble ladies who are visiting the garden with three or five phases, and they are all very interested.

When Hui'an arrived at the bank of Qionghua Lake, he saw that there were already many painted boats on the lake. Under the small islands in the lake, there were vast blue waves, reflecting the mahogany painted boats with carved beams and painted buildings, as well as the jagged rockery and scattered buildings in the lake. Even in winter, there is a poetic and picturesque charm scenery.

Hui'an could hear the laughter of the girls on the lake from a long distance, but when she arrived, there was a painting boat parked by the lake, Wen Jingxin and Nie Shuangshuang were already on the boat, seeing Hui'an approaching hurriedly waved to her, Hui'an She also waved her hand with a smile, and got on the boat, only to see that Sun Xinci was also on the boat, sitting alone in the corner of the boat, staring into the distance in a daze.

Perhaps the girls all took the first few boats. There were not many people on this boat, only less than twenty girls were sitting around in groups to enjoy the scenery. Sun Xinci was alone Sitting there watching is very pitiful.

Hui'an only glanced at her, then looked away, and got together with Nie Shuangshuang and others to talk.When the boat was out, Wen Jingxin approached Hui An and whispered: "The emperor and all the ministers and princes have also come to visit the garden. Just now I heard that several princes and princes were enjoying plums and cooking wine on the brocade island over there. The boats are heading there one after another. We don’t want to join in the fun. I heard from the Ninth Princess that the scenery around Yuexin Island is also very beautiful. In the past, the lotus bloomed in the sky in summer, which is very pleasing to the eye. Now Although we can't appreciate the lotus, the pavilions and pavilions on Yuexin Island are all unique in form, and the stacked stone caves are gorgeous and colorful, but they are quite ornamental, and that is exactly where we are going."

Hui'an also didn't want to go to the brocade island to join in the fun, so he smiled comfortably against the warm sun and nodded.But he thought in his heart, why Sun Xinci was so peaceful this time, and didn't go to Zhijin Island, it's really strange.Could it be that he lost face just now and knew how to cover up his ugliness?

But if you think about it, she made such a fuss just now, and then rushing to join the crowd, isn't she just asking for fun, and it will only make the rumors spread faster, so it's no wonder she shrinks here, this time she is Not stupid.

Hui'an thought that the boat had arrived near a small island full of lotus leaves. Hui'an was looking at the island, but Sun Xinci, who had been sitting there, suddenly got up and rushed out of the cabin with a painful groan, and jumped to the bow to face the water. Stop vomiting, attracting everyone to look at it.

Hui'an was startled, and frowned, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, she had to take care of her, so she put up her skirt and boarded the bow.Seeing several young ladies standing at the hatch, she couldn't help but support Sun Xinci, frowned and said, "Second sister, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Xinci was supported by Hui An, but she leaned her whole body on her body, panting with a pale face, "I don't know, big sister, I feel so uncomfortable, you... can you help me to breathe here?"

Seeing that her head was covered with sweat and her mouth turned white, Hui An couldn't help saying in a deep voice, "Since you don't feel well, you should go inside to rest. I'll ask the palace servants to turn around and send you ashore. I believe everyone will not be offended."

But Sun Xinci slightly raised her voice, and said: "I'm fine, I just feel stuffy inside, it's good to blow some wind here, how can Xiaoci tell the boat to turn around because of Xiaoci alone, and spoil everyone's enjoyment. I know that I have caused trouble today. , Tired big sister, made big sister unhappy, but Xiaoci really didn't do it on purpose, big sister will accompany me, okay, Xiaoci feels uncomfortable..."
