If you want to ask the most talked about topic in the palace recently, it is naturally several princesses of the Northern Wei Dynasty and their concubines!

Because the Qianqiu feast is imminent, the Empress Dowager personally decreed that she will settle in the royal temple Yong'an Temple seven days before the Qianqiu Banquet, fasting and bathing, meditating and praying for blessings, praying for smooth wind and rain in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and peace and security of the country and the people!

According to the practice of previous years, the harem concubine and other main palace lords and several adult princesses will go with them, and there will be Yulin guards escorted all the way.

Because the guard of honor will set off directly from the palace to Yong'an Temple, therefore, several princesses who have already been married gather in the palace every day, and the night before departure, they will rarely stay in the palace.

This time the Yong'an Temple prayer has fulfilled the sisterhood of several princesses, and also made the empress dowager, who is the imperial grandmother, smile and love, looking at the full house of good grandsons and sons-in-law, it can be regarded as children and grandchildren around their knees and gathering together.

These days, several princesses often gather in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, so you can often see the shadows of several princesses in the imperial garden.

Because of this, these days, the princess has entered the palace more frequently, and in order to wait for her to return to the house together, I have also extended the time I have stayed in the Hanlin Academy. Seeing that the hour was almost up, he got up from the Hanlin Courtyard and went to the Imperial Garden to meet the princess.

I had just entered the Imperial Garden, but I heard that not far away at the water pavilion platform, there were a few palace ladies who were hiding, and when they were laughing and laughing, they hid their figures behind the red pillars, thinking that the people who came could not see them, but they never thought that the corners of their clothes had already exposed their whereabouts......

"Look, look, that's the eldest princess's concubine!"

"It's really heroic, handsome and extraordinary!"

"yes, yes!"

......

Immediately, there was a shy laughter, and several young and beautiful palace ladies were playing with each other, covering their faces and quickly going in another direction.

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly a few times, and suddenly I felt helpless.

This situation is not on this day, it seems to have been opened since a few days ago, since I have frequently come to this imperial garden to pick up the princess and return to the palace together, there will be many palace ladies secretly hidden, as if waiting for me to come.

Such laughter and play, such praise and praise, almost every day, at first I was a little blushing, but now I am almost strange.

Shaking his head, he was about to walk forward, when he saw the princess coming towards her, and she must have known that I was coming, so she had come here to meet me.

My countenance was delighted, and when I saw her, my heart was filled with joy.

The princess is elegant, like a silver dress, but elegant and noble, the smile on her face, like the warm light in the frost of September, makes people flock to it, and the heart yearns.

When the princess saw me, her smile grew even stronger.

"Horses, but you've been waiting for a long time?"

Between the tones, there was a sense of urgency, wasn't it in a hurry?

After holding her hand, my heart felt steady.

"I've just arrived, but you, why are you a little out of breath, but tired?"

As I spoke, I took out a plain white silk silk with peach blossoms painted on it from my arms and gently helped her wipe the thin sweat from the corners of her forehead.

The princess shook her head quietly, looked at this square silk handkerchief, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and asked:

"This silk ......"

I smiled a little shyly and said:

"You forgot, you still gave this silk handkerchief!"

At that time, I wondered why the small bowl would use a plain white silk scarf, so that I spent many methods, but I could not clean the ink on it.

In the end, he thought of a way, using the ink stain as a point, and spent a picture of peach blossoms, thinking that if he had the opportunity to return the silk handkerchief to the small bowl, he should not dislike it.

She took the silk handkerchief from my hand, her eyes were quite moving, and when she looked at me, she was a little more gentle like water, and said softly:

"I haven't forgotten it, but your painting is the center, but it makes me feel a different taste in my heart. Do you still have it?"

I nodded, and said:

"What you gave me, I cherished it. It's a pity that I can't wash off the ink stains on it, and I'm worried that you'll be angry when I return it to you like this, so I took it upon myself to add a few more strokes to this silk handkerchief, if you don't think I will make this silk handkerchief, I will be very happy!"

"No, the peach blossoms you painted, I like it very much. ”

The princess said quietly, the crimson on her cheeks, I saw it clearly, and I didn't realize that her eyes were tactful and affectionate, and I looked at her quietly, and I was a little stunned.

"Yo, the eldest sister and the eldest colt are so affectionate, they are really envious of others!"

Behind him, a pleasant voice like a silver bell came, and I saw a fair lady, walking quietly, wearing a pink cardigan and a breast-length skirt. The shoulders and arms are wrapped with shawls of the same color, and the long sleeves are dancing, and the delicate posture is beautiful.

Under the high flowing clouds and sideburns, there are eyebrows similar to those of the princess, which are beautiful and refined, and the red between the eyebrows is a five-petal peach blossom, which is deeply impactful and unforgettable. Under the slightly straight nose bridge, a small mouth of Yin Tao sets off the delicate face of this woman.

This one is the third princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty - Xiao Wen!

The princess and I smiled at each other, and then we staggered each other's gazes, and stood in one place, watching the woman behind us strolling slowly.

"A salute to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess!"

I bowed slightly with a fist as a sign of respect for Her Royal Highness.

Xiao Wen returned the salute to the big horse. ”

After speaking, he also returned the salute slightly.

If you talk about brothers and sisters, from childhood to adulthood, Gao Wei and I are closer, but I have always been different from him, so I still deliberately keep a proper distance from him.

Sisterhood is probably impossible to experience, but the righteousness of brotherhood has also benefited me a lot!

"Why did you come out too?"

The princess seemed to glance at me a little shyly, and then the third princess struck up the topic, this tone, I listened to it, didn't it have something to do with the princess coming to meet me in a hurry?

"What, isn't the eldest sister blaming the third sister for disturbing the affectionate look between the elder sister and the brother-in-law?"

The third princess hid her face and smiled, and suddenly made the princess look shy, I saw the princess's helpless appearance for the first time, if it was replaced by me in the past, she would definitely be pushed back by her sentence of 'poor mouth'.

It seems that the eldest sister of the princess also loves her younger sisters!

When I think of this, why do I feel a little sour, and I can't help but curse myself a few words, why do I have to eat this too?

I'm so stingy, but this stinginess is only for the princess.

"You, I don't know, it must be that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and he has other intentions. ”

The princess sighed lightly, she knew the temperament of her third sister very well, and at this time, she must have come to embarrass the horse.

"Okay, sister, you are partial, I haven't embarrassed the big colt yet, you are already helping him. Third sister, I'm so sad!"

Suddenly, the third princess looked a little sad, which made the princess unbearable.

I couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly stepped forward to marry the princess, bowed, and said:

"It must be the fault of the lower officials, the third princess can punish the lower officials as much as she wants, please don't embarrass Her Royal Highness the princess!"

Hearing this, the third princess nodded with some appreciation, and said:

"Well, yes, I know how to protect my eldest sister. But I'm not going to spare you for your sins. The eldest concubine knew that because of your arrival, several of our sisters were having fun, and the eldest sister hurriedly said goodbye to the sisters and came out to greet you alone.

When I heard this, I looked at the princess with satisfaction, and the princess turned crimson, trying to stop the third princess from going any further.

Although it was an acceptance, I was willing to accept it, smiled and bowed, and said:

"What the third princess said is very true, so, it is the official who should be punished. ”

"Well, it's good to know that it's wrong, then punish you for letting the eldest sister stay in the palace tonight and have fun with our sisters, and Ming'er will naturally return the eldest sister to you." ”

The third princess took the opportunity to ask the princess to stay in the palace tonight, didn't this make me stay alone in the empty boudoir?

immediately pretended to be sincerely afraid, pretended to postpone it, and said:

"This, I'm afraid I have to ask the third princess to forgive the official for not agreeing. Because of this, the princess has to decide for herself, if she wishes to stay, then I will be on duty at the Hanlin Courtyard tonight, if so, ......"

"Eh, stop, stop, what a cunning big colt, you talk like this, will the eldest sister stay?"

The third princess is also like a princess, her eyes are like torches, and she can see my thoughts at once.

The princess secretly gave me a blank look, I was not allowed to make a mistake, I was happy to watch the play on the side, anyway, I would not let the princess leave my sight half a step, especially soon, I had to be separated from her for seven days, I couldn't see each other for seven days, and I felt my heart hurting when I thought about it.

"Okay, okay, all like a child, no one is right. Third sister, I won't stay tonight, Yong'an Temple will pray for blessings in the near future, you and I sisters, are you still afraid that you won't have time to get along? Don't fight, ah?"

The princess coaxed softly, and the third princess didn't want to embarrass the princess.

Turning to me, he said:

"Then don't be embarrassed tonight, you have to remember to owe this palace a punishment, you can't talk when the time comes, otherwise, I'll sue the eldest sister and let the eldest sister clean you up." ”

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly twice, and hurriedly said:

"Dare to disobey?!"

Seeing that I agreed, the third princess nodded with satisfaction.

Then he took the princess's hand and said:

"Then I'll send the eldest sister and the big horse!"

"You're a weird one. ”

The princess shook her head helplessly, there was nothing she could do about her, the third sister.

"Don't worry, eldest sister, I won't embarrass the big horse. Seeing that you are so nervous about him, you will know that the rumors in the palace have been true recently. ”

"Oh, what's been going on in the palace lately?"

The princess seemed to have no intention, and asked casually with a smile.

"Aren't they all praising your talented and beautiful women, after heaven, the relationship between the husband and wife is getting stronger, which is enviable. Therefore, after learning that the eldest concubine will go to the imperial garden to pick up the eldest princess and return to the palace these days, it attracted some palace ladies in the palace to compete to see what kind of person the eldest concubine is, worthy of our eldest sister who looks like a fairy?"

As she spoke, the third princess smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line.

At this point, I can understand why those palace ladies like to hide and peek at me, I see......

"When did you learn to be so clever?"

The princess shaved the bridge of the third princess's nose dotingly, causing her to playfully stick out her tongue.

With that, the princess and the third princess walked ahead, and I followed.

"Don't worry, eldest sister, the third sister will not be embarrassed, at most I want to invite him to participate in one or two Liyuan poetry meetings, this is a big event of the literati and scholars in the capital, and many celebrities and scholars will come to participate in the grand event. If he could be allowed to attend this grand event and make friends with some well-known literati and scholars, wouldn't it also be of great benefit to his career and reputation?

The third princess, Xiao Wen, the best thing on weekdays is to make friends with some literati, drink and compose poems, dance and play with the moon, be at ease, and never get tired of it.

And she herself, it is also best to write poetry, often participate in some famous literary clubs, and a group of celebrities and Confucians, chant poems against each other, sing and harmonize with each other, and have published several poetry collections, several of which sing plum blossom poems, because of the delicate writing, novel thoughts, unique style, and extraordinarily loved, in the capital was once sung.

Having said that, and it is indeed as the third princess said, making more friends with some literati and scholars is indeed of great benefit to the concubine, but looking at the concubine's quiet temperament, I am afraid that I don't like to join in such a lively situation, and the princess really does not want to force the concubine to do what she doesn't like to do.

"Well, you have a point, but it's up to the colt to decide whether to go or not. ”

The princess smiled faintly, and then glanced at me, as if to ask my opinion.

I listened to their conversation just now, and the third princess deliberately spoke so loudly, as if she was worried that I wouldn't be able to hear it, but in fact, there was no need to do so at all, even if they spoke in the same voice as usual, I would have stretched my ears to listen.

The third princess thought that as long as the eldest sister agreed, she would definitely join her to persuade the big horse to participate in that event, but this time I felt strange, the princess's order, the horse had a gift of disobedience, several horses are like this, look at the character of the big horse, and will definitely obey the words of the eldest sister, even if you don't want to, you will still go.

Why do you have to ask for the colt's consent first?

The third princess couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that the way of husband and wife between the eldest sister and the eldest concubine was different from that of herself and several other sisters?

I can't help but be a little depressed, most of those literati and scholars are famous for their poetry and poetry, most of them are some vassal elegance and the like, some people put themselves in the cabinet and do not flow with the laity, in order to show that they are different, high and low. But when it comes to practical matters and political leaders, they are all lip service, saying too much but not doing, and having a low eye, which is simply unreasonable.

Even if there are really some people who are clear, they can't stand the cynicism of these people, and they besiege them, so they naturally don't want to enter this grand event again, and they are bored. That kind of poetry meeting is really not interesting.

"Eh, Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, you also know that the Hanlin Academy has been very busy recently due to the new revision of the history of the country, and the lower officials are really lacking in skills, so ......"

"These are all excuses, the big horse is at ease, the gentleman is not strong, whether to go or not, the big horse can make his own decisions. But ......"

The third princess's turn is a little frightening, and this lethality is by no means lower than that of the princess.

I saw why she smiled calmly, but the words she said made people suddenly break out in a cold sweat, sure enough, all the royal people really can't be offended lightly, our group of Shengdou people still ask for more blessings.

"It's just that the big colt rejected Min'er's first time, and I hope it's better not to have a second time!"

After saying this, I was still smiling and walking ahead with the princess, while I followed with a stiff smile, and alas, suddenly thought of the words that the other colts often said.

It's hard to be a colt!
