princess

Chapter 34

Concubine Rong was in a bit of a dilemma, no matter if it was from the Lin family or the Zhou family, she was not easy to offend. After all, her son was getting old, and he would soon be able to receive an errand.

Concubine Ning is not afraid of offending others, "I heard that the concubine's concubine's concubine is as beautiful as a jade, isn't Sister Concubine Rong curious?"

The concubine sister of Concubine Lin is selected firstly because Concubine Lin is in charge of the palace now, to save face for Concubine Rong in the end, and the power of the Lin family outside is not low, and the Zhou family has to give way, the last point , the Zhou family's daughter was from the concubine's family, while the Lin family's was from the concubine's family. Concubine Rong's background was a little lower. I was afraid that the daughter of the Zhou family would be illiterate if she gave Concubine Rong a bad face.

Concubine Ning doesn't have many good friends in the harem, but Concubine Rong is one, and Concubine Rong's son is getting older, so he will be on errands earlier, now that Concubine Rong is giving convenience, in the future, he also hopes that the Second Prince will give his son some convenience.

Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Concubine Ning with gratitude in her eyes.

Xiao Yuanmin was not as enthusiastic towards Xu as she was towards Yao Qian, but rather indifferently, which made Yao Qian at the side heaved a sigh of relief. Concubine Ning looked at her and sighed in her heart. She was older than the eldest princess but not as calm as the eldest princess. It's better to learn smart earlier, if... it's too late.

It’s just that the last thing the palace needs is sympathy. People with sympathy die faster, and Concubine Ning will not ask anything. Instead, she asked Yao Qian what she does in daily life and what books she has read. .

Concubine Lin's concubine's younger sister is really good-looking, she is as beautiful as peaches and plums, but she can compare with all the beautiful girls, and she can talk, making Rong Rong laugh again and again.

In contrast, Xiao Yuanmin and Xu's here are much quieter. Xiao Yuanmin didn't speak, neither did Xu's, and the initial surprise gradually calmed down. It was just an obviously embarrassing situation, but Xu didn't feel cramped at all. Xiao Yuanmin was very interested in Ruoding's appearance.

No matter whether she is really calm or fake calm, just this demeanor is impressive.

It didn't take long for Concubine Shu to get the news. Except for Concubine Lin's concubine's face changing, the other beautiful girls were happy to see her. After all, Concubine Shu gave them something every time.

Although their family backgrounds are not bad, the things in the palace are different in style and meaning.

Xiao Yuanmin stayed for a while, and left first. Apart from asking Mr. Xu's name, she didn't say anything to Mr. Xu at all, which made some beautiful girls feel relieved.

Back in the house, Xiao Yuanmin changed into regular clothes. Aunt Zheng had already frozen watermelon in the well, and now she fished it out, cut it up and brought it to Xiao Yuanmin.

The melon with green skin and red flesh and sunspots was placed on a white jade plate, it was very attractive, Xiao Yuanmin used two pieces and said, "Mommy, share it with you."

No matter how much she likes, Xiao Yuanmin will not eat too much. Self-discipline is the first thing Empress Huiyi taught her.

"What do you think of the girl from the Xu family?" Xiao Yuanmin sat on the couch, holding a half-embroidered purse in his hand, and carefully looked at it for a long time before continuing to embroider.

"He's calm." Madam Tang is Xiao Yuanmin's nanny. There is no shortage of things like watermelons, so I hand them over to Madam Zheng. The ladies outside.

Xiaozheng went outside and said with a smile, "You guys take it and eat while I'm watching at the door."

"Thank you, Madam." These maids have also been serving for several years. Knowing the eldest princess's temper, they took the things and left. Xiaozheng moved the embroidered pier and sat at the door, and started to do the work.

"The Xu family..." Tang Nanny sighed, "It depends on whether she can seize the opportunity given by the princess."

"It's just that I'm too calm to hold my breath." Madam Zheng continued, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, tigers will be infested."

Xiao Yuanmin responded, "The one from the Yao family..." A sneer appeared on his face, "I thought the palace was so easy to treat? It looks like the queen mother..." Gritting her teeth at the end, "She is no better than the queen mother Wan one."

You must know that in Xiao Yuanmin's heart, Queen Huiyi cannot be defiled by anyone. If she sees Yao Qian, if she can be thrown out of the palace right away, it is already considered a good self-cultivation.

Mother Zheng also knew that it was the princess's heart, but if this happened to her, she might not be as good as the princess, so she didn't say anything, "Tomorrow, the servant will pick up the girl from the Yao family and take her to the nearby garden. Go around, the princess is busy with homework, I'm afraid I don't have that time."

Xiao Yuanmin smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you, Mammy."

"These few were 'met' in the Royal Garden today, and these few were obviously dressed up and waited for the princess to summon them." Ban Xia said after sorting out the list.

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, "Find out the one who sent the message to me, and send it to the Shenxing Department for those who went directly to the Imperial Garden, and the rest..." After thinking for a while, "I don't know if it's luck or foresight. , send it to the Clothes Bureau, keep an eye on it, and if you need it, take it out."

"Yes."

What if it doesn't work?What will be the end, no one will ask, at most it will add some dead bones.

Since you dare to inquire about the whereabouts of the eldest princess and sell it to others, you should have a plan to bear it.

What is the picture, not to mention Xiao Yuanmin, even Madam Tang and the others can guess, they just want to be kind to these beautiful ladies, who knows if any of them can catch the eyes of the nobles and reach the sky in one step, then these court ladies don't ask for more, In the end, it's enough to serve the nobles.

"That Concubine Lin's concubine sister looks pretty, and she's pretty good at it." Madam Zheng said, "As a concubine, if I can get such an opportunity, I'm afraid it's even in the Lin Mansion..." Without saying a word After finishing speaking, everyone understood what she meant, "It's just a pity."

Yes, it's a pity, since the Lin family has already had a noble concubine, it is impossible to have a second concubine, and the Lin family has been doing things a bit rampant these days, even Xiao Yuanmin, who is not out of the palace, has heard of it, I am afraid this is something wrong A woman with good looks and means will enter the palace, but at most she can only be a noble person.

Unless there is a possibility, Xiao Yuanmin narrowed his eyes, is this what the father meant?The concubine of the Lin family wanted to be promoted, unless the one in front... Concubine Lin Gui gave way, thinking about it, Xiao Yuanmin thought it was a good thing, and only hoped that this person could understand it sooner.

But what did Concubine Lin Gui do to anger her father?

Xiao Yuanmin couldn't figure it out, but it wasn't a bad thing for her, so she didn't care.

After talking for a while, Xiao Yuanmin already had a general idea in mind, and started to embroider the purse, which was to be given to Xiao Yuzuo, with a flower and a few bees embroidered on the green bottom.

"Finally, it's almost ready. The prince won't come to watch every day. I'm afraid the princess is giving away the purse embroidered for him." Tang Nanny smiled when she saw the purse.

"What did Mammy say about me?"

Saying that everyone has arrived, as soon as Nanny Tang finished speaking, a boy's voice came from the door, "Sister, is the purse embroidered?"

"Not yet, how could it be so fast." Xiao Yuanmin answered with a smile, "Why didn't someone notify you? Is it hot?"

"I saw that none of the palace attendants were there, so Madam Xiaozheng stood guard at the door and didn't let me know." Xiao Yuzuo laughed and said, "Madam Xiaozheng went to bring me sour plum soup."

In fact, Xiao Yuzuo often refuses to report when he comes here, just like Xiao Yuanmin went to the East Palace. Xiao Yuanmin asked this sentence because he was afraid that those palace people would be lazy and neglect his younger brother. After listening to his younger brother, he said, "I let them go down to eat melons." .”

Xiao Yuzuo held the unembroidered purse with joy on his face, "I want to eat too."

"it is good."

In fact, there was no need for Xiao Yuanmin to order, the little Madam Zheng had already prepared the things. After Madam Zheng brought warm water to help Xiao Yuzuo wipe his face and hands, the things were brought up. Xiao Yuzuo drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup before taking it The watermelon is eaten.

"It made me so hot." Xiao Yuzuo muttered, "The master even made me run several laps."

Although Xiao Yuzuo was complaining, there was no displeasure in his words. Instead, he said with a bit of complacency, "Murong is in a bad mood today for some reason, and Master told me about it."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuanmin slightly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yuzuo.

"It seems to be a family matter." Xiao Yuzuo didn't ask. Although Murongxi was his companion, Xiao Yuzuo never asked about some things Murongxi didn't want to say. This is the minimum respect. If he needs help, Murongxi will say it directly. of.

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, and just said, "Murongxi is a very proud person, you should pay more attention to some things, don't wait for him to ask before you can help."

"I know." Xiao Yuzuo nodded, "Miss, embroider me another fan cover." Then he said proudly, "The fan you drew for me last time, even the master said that although the painter was still a little immature, the artistic conception was very good. it is good."

Xiao Yuanmin couldn't laugh or cry, if Xiao Yuzuo hadn't begged so much that time, she wouldn't have given it back, "Take your time, the embroiderers in your house are no better than mine, you're the one to make trouble."

"That's different." Xiao Yuzuo said with a smile, "By the way, how is that girl from the Yao family today?"

"But that's all." Xiao Yuanmin said, "I think the Xu family is pretty good."

"If you can catch my sister's eyes, I have to take a good look at it if I have a chance." Xiao Yuzuo smiled, and then sneaked into Xiao Yuanmin's ear, "Let's ask Father to go out of the palace to play some other day. I haven't been out of the palace yet."

"No." Xiao Yuanmin refused without thinking.

"Go, go, sister, please go and beg Father." Xiao Yuzuo said coquettishly, "Both brothers have gone out before, and I want to go out to play too."

"Where are you going out of the palace?" Xiao Yuanmin asked.

Xiao Yuzuo was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't thought of it, "What did my sister say?"

"I've never gone out." Especially Xiao Yuanmin was also a little moved, she wanted to see the sugar paintings and clay figurines that the maids mentioned.

"Why don't we let Uncle and Murong take us to play?" Xiao Yuzuo planned well, "Uncle is an adult to keep us safe, and Murong is a child who must know where the fun is."
