pampering wife

Chapter 50

Princess Yongle has many residences in the capital, this time Danqing took Qingmei to the residence located in Jinguangfang.This Jinguangfang is located in the northeast of the imperial city, and most of the people living nearby are dignitaries, including He Jiuling, the Shang Shuling who made Qingmei hold a grudge, also has a house here.

There are more nobles living there, the street market is naturally more tidy and luxurious than other places, Qing Mei lifts up the corner of the car curtain and looks at the stretch of buildings and pavilions, feeling admiration in her heart.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Danqing greeted the young servants, and after a while, a woman came out to lead Qingmei in.Qingmei saw that the house inside was magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings. Although the courtyard is not very spacious, it also has a hint of prosperity.In addition, there are several guards on both sides, and the golden armor is carrying a knife, so there is a bit of majesty invisibly, which makes people feel awe.

When they reached an arched door, the woman stopped and did not move forward. Qing Mei and Shi Shu approached the inner courtyard, and they were led by two maids in bright clothes.

The inner courtyard is more grand and exquisite than the outside, with plantains, crabapples and strange rocks piled up on both sides. Qingmei doesn't know much about these things, so she doesn't know much about them.After all, she was still young, so she was walking on the road with concentration and holding her breath, although she glanced to both sides, she didn't dare to look around.

In front of a loft, the servant girl guarding the door bowed and said, "Princess Qi, someone is here."

There was a faint human voice in the room, the maid raised the curtain, and someone led Qingmei into the room.As soon as you enter, you will be greeted with a faint sweet fragrance. There is a red sandalwood screen in front of it. It looks like it has been around for a few years. The painting on it, Songhe Yannian, must have been written by a famous person.

Qingmei took a deep breath, turned around the screen, just followed forward but didn't dare to look up.

There is a thick soft blanket under the feet, walking on it silently, suddenly heard a soft "snap" in front of him, like a chess piece falling on the board, crisp and slow, and then someone said: "Sanlang, I'm afraid this time I'm going to play again." You lost." Then a very familiar voice said with a smile: "Sister Huang's chess skills are superb, I admire it."

Junli is here too?Qingmei was surprised, she raised her eyes slightly to peek at the sound while walking, and saw a gorgeously dressed beauty in front of her turn around.She hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and looked at the ground, took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and saluted under the guidance of the servant girl next to her, and said, "The folk girl Qu Qingmei pays her respects to the princess and the third prince."

"Look up and let me see."

Qingmei raised her face, her gaze swept across Princess Yongle's face, she only took one look and then lowered her eyes.However, just that one glance already made her marvel——

On the day when she first came to the capital, she also met Princess Yongle's car on the street. At that time, she was mixed in the crowd, and she could only see the beauty and magnificence of the chariot and horses. , she also caught a glimpse of Princess Yongle's beautiful face.Later, by the moat in the mid-autumn night, I once saw Princess Yongle lighting up the lantern tower from a distance, as if she was an immortal.

At that time, she never thought that one day she would be so close to this noble woman.

The person in front of her combed her phoenix head, her soft and shiny black hair was tied into a bun on the top of her head, she was wearing a five-phoenix hairpin hanging from the sun, and there was a ruby ​​in the middle, and the oriental pearls on her ears looked like a bright moon. Golden pheasant heart double-breasted coat, with dense and delicate embroidery on the edge, as if woven with gold silk.Although the clothes were luxurious, they did not hide their complexion at all, and the majesty was hidden in the exquisite eyebrows.

Qingmei finally had a superficial understanding of the words "Tianjia weather", and at this moment knelt on the ground submissively, not daring to speak out.

Princess Yongle glanced at it and said: "I heard from Sanlang that the fruit wine you make is very good?" Qingmei replied, "Yes." Princess Yongle said: "It is rare to have good fruit wine in Beijing, so you can brew some to share with me." I'll try it."

This is her chance!Qingmei was very happy, and quickly replied: "Thanks to the princess for not giving up, Qingmei will do her best to serve the princess the best fruit wine!" If even Princess Yongle fell in love with her fruit wine, how could Madam Gu stop her Why is she not allowed to make wine?Qingmei was very happy.

Princess Yongle smiled and said, "Get up."

Junli next to him said casually: "This girl has great ambitions. I heard from Danqing that she also wants to open a tavern in Beijing." Extravagance.But he pushed the matter to Danqing, and acted like he was not familiar with Qingmei, as if what he was talking about was just a funny thing.

Qingmei understood instantly - Junli was just pretending in front of the princess.

But think about it, what a noble status Junli is, even though he usually likes to play around, most of the people he gets along with are noble sons.If Princess Yongle knew that he was so familiar with Qingmei and was so enthusiastic about matchmaking, maybe it would make the princess jealous and stop helping her, right?
Qingmei didn't dare to expect Princess Yongle to look at her high.A decent official daughter may not be able to win the favor of the princess, let alone her righteous daughter who came out of nowhere?
Having figured this out, Qingmei naturally had to act as if she was not familiar with the third prince, and didn't move her eyes to him at all.

Princess Yongle took a special look at Qingmei, and said: "If it is really brewed well, it is also a good thing. A girl's family does not want to be trapped in her boudoir, so it is rare to have such thoughts." This is the matter of agreeing with Qingmei to open a tavern up.
