A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

"The county lord, His Highness said that he will not be able to leave the palace for the next few days. If you have anything to say, you can write to him and tell him." The blue-clothed eunuch carefully glanced at the future Princess Chen: "This is Your Highness. Please take a look at the letter I wrote to you."

Jiu Zhu took the letter, turned her head and saw that her brother and mother were looking at her, she opened the letter with a pause.

"I'll go to the kitchen to see." Shen shi stood up and gave her daughter a free space.

Ming Jiyuan stood up reluctantly: "I'll go to the study to read some books."

Last night, the two of them didn't come back until they went shopping, and they didn't see each other for five or six hours in total, so do you need to write a letter?

Jiu Zhu opened the letter, read the letter written by His Highness word by word, and asked the eunuch who delivered the letter: "Your Highness will not be able to leave the palace until the second day of the second lunar month?"

The blue-clothed eunuch replied respectfully, "Please rest assured, the county lord, His Highness will write to you every day. If you have a reply, the slave will wait here for you to finish writing the letter, and then take the letter back."

He secretly prayed in his heart that the county magistrate must reply, otherwise he would not be able to explain to His Highness when he went back.

"Please wait a moment, father-in-law." Jiuzhu stood up and called a maid to bring the blue-clothed eunuch to have tea. She hurried back to the room with the letter.

She felt that she had nothing to write about, but she had a lot to say to His Highness.

For example, the spring orchids in the yard are blooming, and the grandma sent by the Ministry of Rites praised her, and found a few interesting travel notes in my brother's study.

Lara Zaza wrote a lot, and finally she wrote a few words at the end of the letter.

[Everything is fine, don't worry, Your Highness. 】

Drying the ink on the letter, she folded the letter and put it in the envelope. After thinking about it, I took another piece of paper and drew a spring orchid into the envelope.

The new year and the new atmosphere, the first release of Chunlan, represents a new beginning.

"Prince Concubine, Aunt Bai Shao is here."

Sun Caiyao put down the book in her hand and looked at the woman who came to her. She has a beautiful appearance, a respectful demeanor, and a very stable temperament between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Slave Bai Shao, greet the prince and concubine." Bai Shao gave her a great master-servant gift.

"You don't need to be so polite." Sun Caiyao stepped forward to hold her hand. Her hand was rough and strong, probably because she was used to rough work in Qianyi Pavilion. The smile on his face deepened: "Auntie is serving in front of the mother-in-law. There are all kinds of things in the palace, and no one can do it better than Auntie."

"The situation with Your Highness is not very good now, and I will be wronged for a while." Sun Caiyao returned to the chair and sat down: "Auntie is the first-class maid of honor registered in the big house, and she is still the same here."

"Thank you, Concubine." Bai Shao gave a big gift gratefully.

"Go to rest first, if His Highness summons you, then go to greet His Highness." Sun Caiyao had mixed feelings about Bai Shao, and it was reasonable to say that there was nothing inappropriate about the other party, but she couldn't give birth to closeness.

Bai Shao waited in the room for several hours, but did not wait for the fourth prince's summons. The servants of Zhang Liugong were all arranged directly by the province in the palace. She was here on the spot, with a kind of panic that had nowhere to go.

"I heard no. Last night, there was a maid in the Shangyi Bureau who ate the wrong thing. Before she died, she cried in pain for a long time. After her death, her facial features were twisted."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the Fourth Highness and the Fourth Concubine hear it. It is said that this palace maid was serving in front of the Fourth Prince's biological mother."

"Ms. Zheng offended the Empress before her death, how can the people in front of her benefit from it?"

Bai Shao, who was about to push the door and go out, stiffened.

Hongmei is dead?

Of course she wouldn't think that hearing this was just a coincidence.

There is no coincidence in the palace, only intentional.

The palace servants who were whispering outside had already left, Bai Shao wiped her face with cold water, tidied up her clothes, and then walked out of the room as usual.

"Aunt Bai Shao, I was looking for you." A tender-faced little palace maid hurriedly walked in front of her: "His Royal Highness has summoned you, come with me quickly."

Seeing the fourth prince, the fourth prince didn't say anything to her, she gave His Highness a kowtow, and then exited the courtyard.

In the outer courtyard, King An and King Jing were watching the paintings. King An glanced at King Chen who was sitting in the corner, and his brain was dominated by curiosity: "Fifth brother, last time you told us that you should take out the paintings of the fifth brother and sister. We appreciate it, I wonder if we can…”

"The weather is bad today, so it's not suitable for viewing paintings." King Chen refused mercilessly: "If the second and third brothers are bored, you can go to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

"Where to do what?"

"The spring is just right, the grass is lush, and it's just right for you to pull the weeds."

When he finished speaking, he saw that the little eunuch who delivered the letter had returned, and he stood up and raised his chin: "The two imperial brothers slowly appreciate the paintings, I will go back to the yard first."

An Wang looked up at the sun in the sky, is the weather not good enough today?

"Forget it, second brother." King Jing smiled warmly: "I think the fifth brother is reluctant to draw his younger brother and sister's paintings."

"The more he doesn't give it, the more curious I become." An Wang sighed: "When the fifth siblings enter the palace, I will find another opportunity to ask."

King Jing smiled, he was like a title, and he liked quietness.

"By the way, the fifth brother and the Ming county master are getting married. Shall we send someone to give a gift to the Ming family?" An Wang pondered in his heart that the fifth brother's biological mother was the queen, and the fifth brother was likely to be the future prince. , Ming Jiuzhu is the Crown Princess, as a brother, should he hug the Crown Princess's mother's thigh earlier?

But he's a little apprehensive

Jing Hai's character is a powerful person who can cut down robbers with a sword.

"You can wait for what Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law say." King Jing slowly put away the book on the table, "If Big Brother sends it, we will send it."

Wang An was silent. If the eldest brother gave him the gift, how could he hug the crown princess's mother's thigh?

At this time, the Ming family was almost crowded with makeup gifts from various families in the capital. Those royal family members and nobles were relatives on the man's side, but they also sent a lot of gifts in the name of makeup.

That's not all, His Majesty and the Empress have also sent rewards in various names. The things from the Emperor's private treasury are continuously sent to the Ming family. threshold.

His Majesty's dazzling preference for King Chen was seen by everyone, and even they suspected that King Chen's wedding specifications were almost similar to those of the prince's grand wedding.

However, no one from the Ministry of Rites raised any objections, and no one from the family of the other princes and concubines dared to stand up and say no. This big wedding was just because everyone felt that the specifications were not right, but no one dared to do more. In the atmosphere that was said, it came slowly.

On the first day of the second lunar month, the Ministry of Rites sent the bridal gowns, which had been modified many times, to the Ming family.

Beaded jade dragon and phoenix wedding crown, dragon and phoenix auspicious clothes, flowers and pedicle fans, and various pairs of jewelry.

"Mother." Ming Jiyuan looked at these things, but there was not much joy on his face: "This is of a higher quality than the wedding dress that was originally sent to my sister to try on makeup."

In general, when a prince gets married, the bride's wedding crown should be six dragons and six phoenixes, but the wedding crown prepared for Jiuzhu is eight dragons and eight phoenixes.

"Your father is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. If these things were manipulated, they would not be delivered to our Ming family." Shen shi looked at the phoenix crown in the tray: "So this can only be the meaning of the emperor and the queen."

"Thunder, rain and dew, all are your kindness." Shen shi picked up the red satin and covered the phoenix crown: "Go and call Jiuzhu, I have something to tell her."

Ming Jiyuan turned around and went to his sister's yard.

As a bride who is about to get married, Jiuzhu is not only not nervous, but slips her little white horse in the yard. This horse has been raised by her for more than half a year, and it has not grown much.

"Brother?" Seeing Ming Jiyuan coming in, Jiuzhu handed the reins to the spring equinox: "Why are you here?"

"Mother asked me to take you there." Ming Ji Yuan saw his sister counting simple double-screw buns and not even wearing any hair accessories. Thinking of the hairpin jewelry sent by the Ministry of Rites, she began to worry about her thick hair. .

"All the ladies who visited have left?" Jiu Zhu looked at the courtyard at the door.

"They know there are so many things to do today, so why did they stay for so long? Don't worry, they're all gone." Seeing his sister's cautious appearance, Ming Jiyuan couldn't help sighing: "You hate socializing, after you marry King Chen, you can't help but sigh. How to do?"

"His Royal Highness said, just ignore those people." Jiuzhu asked in confusion, "What should I do?"

"Silly sister, you don't know enough about men." Ming Jiyuan touched her head: "But brother hopes that what His Highness said is true."

"His Royal Highness will not lie to me." Jiuzhu said decisively: "His Royal Highness also said that he will often accompany me home in the future."

Ming Jiyuan laughed, her sister grew up in a Taoist temple, how did she know that the world was harsh on her daughter's family, when she got married and stepped out of the gate of her mother's family, in the eyes of the world, she was no longer a family member of her husband's family, but a member of her husband's family. .

He believed what King Chen said at the moment, and did not deceive his sister. But life is too long, and people's hearts are so changeable. Not everyone is like father and mother, who stay and know each other and love each other as always.

"What if His Highness lied to you?" Ming Jiyuan looked at his sister: "Jiuzhu, my brother hopes that you can be a little more selfish and love yourself more. As long as you are good, it is better than anything else."

Jiuzhu stepped into the main courtyard, was silent for a moment, and looked back at her brother seriously: "If he really lied to me, then lie."

Master said that the hardest thing about being a human being is to follow one's heart.

She didn't find it difficult.

There are many things in the world, you can choose to start over, but there is only one life.

His Highness saved her life in Huaxi River, accompanied her through the mountains and rivers of the capital, and enjoyed the Lantern Festival moonlight.

"Brother." Jiuzhu smiled: "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I choose to believe in Your Highness."

"Everyone in the world can change. For me, His Royal Highness is the most special one." Jiuzhu pulled La Ming Jiyuan's sleeve: "So brother, don't worry about me, there are thousands of men in the world, and everyone will be a certain person. A woman's sweetheart."

"King Chen, is the beloved in your heart?" Ming Jiyuan always thought that his sister was naive and ignorant of being raised in a Taoist temple, but he suddenly felt that her sister knew everything and understood everything. Unlike many people, she had a Peace of mind.

King Chen is her destiny.

"Brother, His Highness is not only the sweetheart in my heart." Jiuzhu walked forward with a smile on her face, her back was still that innocent girl.

Pushing open the door, Jiuzhu looked at the neatly stacked dragon and phoenix Chengxiang wedding dresses, and sighed softly, "It's so beautiful."

"Do you like it?" Shen shi looked at her with a smile.

Jiuzhu nodded.

"Just like it." Shen shi picked up the wooden comb on the table: "Jiuzhu, come, I'll comb your hair."

When a folk woman gets married, her biological mother will comb her hair and wish her all the best after marriage.

The royal wedding does not follow the folk customs, but the blessings of other people's daughters, as a mother, still want to give her.
