The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 13 Xi, light

Jingshu took the three girls back to Qingfeng Garden. Jingshu ordered the girls to find the snow satin that the old lady had rewarded last time. She also found two pieces of fine soft satin from the small warehouse and took the three girls out in a carriage.

Mansion.

All the way to the West Market, the two of them went into the tailor shop that Jingshu mentioned, and asked the female master to measure their body measurements and carefully choose a look. They kept fiddling with it until Xiangwu.

The third girl rarely had the chance to leave the house, so when she saw the bustling world, she was as excited as a bird out of its cage.

"Second sister-in-law, do you think what food is being sold there? There are so many people around."

Jing Shu looked over and explained with a smile: "Those are honey-fried cherries." As she said that, she winked at Ziyun and ordered: "Go buy some."

After a while, Ziyun brought back the honey-fried cherries wrapped in oil paper. Jingshu took them and opened them. The moist and red cherries were wrapped in Huang Yingying's honey, exuding a sweet taste. Jingshu took off the oil paper and handed the cherries to the three of them.

Girl: "This is a famous dessert among the people. Try it."

The third girl had long been salivating over this unknown delicacy. She took it and took a bite, nodding her head and praising: "This is so delicious!" As she said that, she started eating bite after bite.

Jing Shu saw that she was eating sweetly like a greedy little cat. She pointed at the other two bags of honey-fried cherries that Ziyun was carrying, and persuaded with a smile: "Eat slowly, there are so many here."

The third girl smiled sweetly at Jingshu: "Bring that one back to grandma to try."

Jing Shu took the three girls for a stroll in the West Market. The lively three girls were curious about everything they saw. After a while, Ziyun and Danzhu's hands were filled with packages of all sizes.

Ziyun suggested: "Why don't we go back to the carriage and put down our things, and then continue shopping."

This third girl's purchasing power is so strong that they really can't take it.

Jingshu nodded, and the four masters and servants walked back along the street. As soon as they walked out for a while, they saw a group of bright yellow chariots slowly coming towards them from a distance.

The leading guard rode a tall horse and shouted as he walked: "The eldest princess is traveling, please stay away for the time being!"

The bustling passers-by consciously moved to both sides of the road.

After a while, the ceremonial guard gradually approached, and a bright yellow chariot with gold and treasures several feet high slowly appeared on the originally bustling street. In front of the chariot were two teams of Jingwei cavalry leading the way, and six teams were surrounding the chariot.

The canopy was decorated with red embroidered phoenixes, followed by four to five hundred foot soldiers.

The battle array is luxurious and the pomp is grand.

"It's mother." The third girl looked sideways at Jing Shu and said.

Jing Shu nodded, and the two of them waited quietly by the roadside. When the guard of honor arrived, the third girl shouted to the guard on horseback who was walking in front of the procession: "Zhou Jiaowei, where are you going, mother?"

Zhou Ning saw that she was the daughter of the eldest princess, so she turned around and stopped the ceremonial guard, got off her horse and replied: "If you want to go back to Third Miss, the eldest princess is going to the deer park outside the city to escape the summer heat."

A servant had already informed about the eldest princess in the carriage, and Fu Xi ordered the third girl and Jingshu to be invited to the carriage.

The chamberlain pushed open the car door and half-raised the inner curtain. When the two saw the eldest princess, they knelt down and said hello: "I've seen my mother, and I want to say hello to my mother."

Fu Xi asked: "Where are you going?"

The third girl replied respectfully: "My daughter and my second sister-in-law just went to the tailoring shop to get some clothes cut."

Fu Xi nodded and said no more.

The third girl asked: "Is mother going to Deer Park to escape the summer heat?"

The weather was hot, and when the two of them were strolling around, there was a maid holding an umbrella. Now that they saw the eldest princess, it was natural that they could not hold an umbrella anymore. While they were talking, they were already sweating slightly from the scorching sun.

Fu Xi looked at his daughter and daughter-in-law, whose cheeks were flushed from the heat, and asked, "It's been very hot in the city recently. Do you want to go with me to Luyuan to escape the heat?"

The third girl has been to Deer Park. The place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is extremely cool even in the hot summer. Moreover, there are many interesting places in the garden, so she is naturally willing to go. But she was brought up by the old lady since she was a child.

In addition, the eldest princess has a cold temperament, so she is not close to the princess mother.

The third girl wanted to go, but she was a little afraid of her mother. Her fear was not because she was afraid of her mother, but because of the awkwardness caused by alienation, and she was always uncomfortable in front of her mother.

Seeing that his daughter was moved, Fu Xi said, "If you want to go, just get in the car."

The third girl did not answer her mother, but looked at Jingshu aside and whispered: "Second sister-in-law, can you come with me?"

The third girl wanted to go, but she didn't want to be alone with her cold mother. She wanted Jingshu, her gentle sister-in-law, to accompany her.

Jingshu also saw what she was thinking, but she was worried that her mother-in-law might not necessarily welcome her new daughter-in-law. Furthermore, she took the third girl and the eldest princess to Luyuan without saying hello to the old lady and Li Ling.

, is also inappropriate.

She smiled and replied: "I'm just worried that my grandmother will be worried if we go like this. So, you go with your mother first, and then we can make plans after I return home to my grandmother."

The third girl pouted, held Jingshu's sleeves and begged: "Just let the servants go back and tell me, you can come with me now."

Jingshu was a little embarrassed.

It was the first time that Fu Xi saw his daughter being so close to anyone other than the old lady. His face showed a hint of softness and he said to the two of them: "You guys should go back home together first. Tell the old lady and Bo Yue first that I

I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow and go with you.”

Boyue is Li Ling's character.

Although Fu Xi had a deep grudge against the Duke of Zhen, he had great respect for Mrs. Li, his mother-in-law.

She just saw that her daughter was interested in going to Deer Park with her, so she thought about taking her directly there without much thought. After Jingshu reminded her, she came to her senses, passed her mother-in-law and son, and took her daughter and bride away directly.

That's a bit rude.

The third girl was very satisfied with this arrangement and said to the eldest princess with a smile: "That's good. Then my second sister-in-law and I will go to Luyuan to accompany you tomorrow."

The eldest princess nodded, the inner curtain fell, the carriage started, and the winding and luxurious ceremony slowly moved forward. After a while, it gradually disappeared from sight.

Not all princesses in the Daqi royal family can enjoy the treatment of the eldest princess. Although royal women are noble, when they get married, they either form a gang with their relatives or marry down to win over their subordinates. Very few of them live a happy life.

But when Fuxi married the Duke of Zhenguo, it was her own decision. Not only that, she was worshiped far more than other royal princesses.

Take this travel ceremonial guard as an example. This standard is only lower than that of the emperor of the dynasty, and even higher than that of the prince of the dynasty.

There is a reason why the eldest princess enjoys such treatment.

When the late Emperor Wen was still the crown prince, he was over thirty but had no income. The outside world spread rumors that he seemed to have a hidden illness. Because of this fatal weakness, his position as crown prince was almost unsafe.

Legend has it that Emperor Wu even drafted the imperial edict for Yi Chu. On this special day, Crown Princess Wu was diagnosed with a happy pulse, and the late Emperor Wen narrowly retained his throne because of this. Before Empress Wu could give birth,

, Emperor Taihuang and Emperor Wu drove Hexi to the west, and Emperor Wen successfully ascended the throne.

Empress Wu gave birth to this eldest princess. Although she was a daughter, Emperor Wen's throne was indeed preserved because of this eldest daughter.

Emperor Wen was particularly fond of this daughter, so he named her Fu Xi before she was even full moon: Fu, Shun, and Xi, Beginning, Bright.

This shows the late emperor's love for this daughter.

What is even more surprising is that since the birth of the eldest princess Fuxi, the concubines in the harem have become pregnant one after another, and the descendants of the late emperor have flourished.

Emperor Wen believed that all this good luck was brought about by his eldest daughter, and he doted on her far more than his other children.

During Emperor Wen's lifetime, the eldest princess even enjoyed the same treatment as the prince.

After the early death of Empress Wu, when the current emperor was still young, the eldest princess relied on the late emperor's favor and extraordinary wisdom to help her younger brother, who is now the Ming Emperor, to become the crown prince in the treacherous harem. Until the late emperor passed away.

When the emperor died, she overcame all difficulties and obstacles to help her brother secure the throne.

Emperor Ming will naturally not forget this sister's contribution.

Therefore, with the protection and love of two generations of emperors, her father and younger brother, the status of the eldest princess Fuxi is unrivaled in Daqi.

There are even rumors among the people in Daqi that if the eldest princess waves her sleeves, the Yangtze River will flow backwards; if the eldest princess stamps her feet, the court will ring three times.
