Chapter 485: Be a low-key person
It is rumored that the biological mother of the second prince was just a miscellaneous servant who was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and died not long after giving birth to the child. The emperor didn't like the biological mother of the second prince, and he didn't give her a position, and he was very cold to the second prince.
It's just that the emperor is no longer pleased, and this person in front of him is also His Royal Highness, where do the palace people dare to let him give way, the leading palace maid hurriedly said: "Please Your Highness first." ”
The second prince stood still, "Let's take someone in first, the queen mother is already waiting in the hall." ”
The palace maid didn't dare to let it go, and saluted again, before taking the show girls over from the second prince.
The show girls didn't dare to look more, they all lowered their heads slightly, and He Linwan didn't look up, but she noticed that there was a gaze looking in this direction.
"Wait a minute. When he walked in front of the second prince, he suddenly spoke.
Because his voice was not loud, the palace maids and show girls who had already walked past did not hear it, only He Linwan, who was walking at the end, stopped in their footsteps.
He Linwan turned his head to look over, but saw that the second prince picked up something from the ground and handed it to them, to be precise, in front of Xue Wanqing, who was standing next to her,
"Miss Xue, your purse has dropped. The second prince handed an azure purse embroidered with orchids to Xue Wanqing, looked at her and said gently.
Xue Wanqing looked at the purse and paused, then reached out to take it.
"Your Highness. ”
The second prince nodded, turned around and left without saying anything.
This unexpected episode did not attract anyone's attention, and even Mu Lanping, who had always been thoughtful, just took the opportunity to take a look at the second prince who he had never seen before and recognized his face.
When they entered Fengxu Palace, everyone's attitude was still restrained at first, but the queen spoke softly and had a friendly attitude, and these young show girls were soon able to laugh freely.
The queen will talk to every show girl a few words, and the questions asked are almost the same, nothing more than what hobbies do you have on weekdays, have you read books? This is very disappointing for some people who want to find out a certain tendency from the queen's attitude.
Everyone was talking and laughing in the hall, and a figure suddenly ran in from outside the hall, and did not salute, but ran directly to the queen and threw himself into her arms, and the movements were so fast that the surrounding palace people couldn't stop them if they wanted to.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother Save Yi'er!" "Huyang Princess Li Yi cried.
The maids and grandmothers who followed Princess Huyang ran out of breath, and when they saw this, they quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
A trace of helplessness flashed on the queen's face, and she waved her hand to let Huyang's maids and grandmothers retreat, and then gently patted Huyang's back, even if the tone of reproach was very gentle, "Hurry up and talk well, there are other people in the mother's palace, what do you look like like this?"
Princess Huyang wiped her tears, raised her head and looked at it, only to find that there were still many people in the palace.
The show girls also came back to their senses and hurriedly got up to greet Princess Huyang.
Princess Huyang nodded perfunctorily, and continued to complain to the queen, "Queen Mother, Sister Chunyang said that my father and emperor want to marry me to Daji Country and relatives......!
The queen raised her hand and tapped on Huyang's lips, stopping her from speaking.
"Okay, seeing that you are crying like a little dirty cat, let Mama Shen take you down to wash your face. ”
Princess Huyang still wanted to speak, but when she saw that the queen's face suddenly became serious, she didn't dare to say anything more, and followed Mama Shen with her head bowed.
In addition to He Linwan, the matter of the princess and her relatives was the first time that everyone in the palace heard it, and they couldn't help but have different faces. The queen did not mention this matter again, and continued the conversation that had been interrupted by Princess Huyang.
When Princess Huyang reappeared, she had already washed her face and made up her makeup, I don't know if Mama Shen explained something to her, she didn't say anything in front of everyone this time, just sat listlessly on the footrest next to the queen.
He Linwan couldn't help but glance at Princess Huyang, and had to sigh that five years have passed, this little princess has not changed, she is still innocent and romantic, but she was born in the royal family, and she doesn't know if this kind of character is a good thing or a bad thing.
At this moment, an attendant came in from outside and saluted the queen.
"The slave maid greets the queen's mother. ”
The show girls who had attended the dinner yesterday immediately recognized that this young chamberlain was the one who sent He Zhen back at that time, and he was the one who served His Majesty.
For a while, countless eyes looked at He Zhen, and He Zhen couldn't help but get nervous, guessing that this waiter came today to have something to do with him?
The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty has an order to invite the queen to take all the show girls to the small school field in the palace. ”
After saying this, seeing that Princess Huyang was also there, the chamberlain smiled and continued: "Your Majesty has a decree, please Princess Chunyang and Princess Huyang also go together." ”
Princess Huyang couldn't help but ask, "What did my father ask us to do on the school grounds?"
The chamberlain smiled and said: "The soldiers of the forbidden army and the warriors of the Daji Kingdom will compete in the small school field, and Your Majesty invites the palace maidens, princesses and nobles to watch the battle." ”
The last thing Princess Huyang wants to hear now is the people and things of Daji Kingdom, she pouted and wanted to refuse, but the queen opened her mouth, "You go back to Your Majesty, the palace will be there later." ”
The waiter replied and bowed and withdrew.
When the show girls in the hall heard that there was a lively scene to see, their faces were a little excited and expectant, and the queen didn't say anything, just told Mama Shen to drive.
The small school field in the mouth of the inner chamber is located in the inner palace, and it is a place to practice riding and archery for the prince and the forbidden army in the palace on weekdays. The Great Zhou Dynasty is still martial compared to the previous dynasty, in the early days of the founding of the country, the forbidden palace up to the emperor down to the palace maids are more or less able to do a little fist and foot kung fu, to the present, although the martial style is not as good as the beginning of the founding of the country, but several princes have also practiced riding and archery since childhood.
When the queen took the show girls to the school grounds, there were already palace people who set up seats and curtains made of tulle on the side of the school field, and not long after they arrived, Concubine De, Concubine Xian and other palace concubines also arrived. The queen and the palace concubines sat according to their ranks, and He Linwan and other show girls all sat in the outer seats.
Princess Chunyang arrived with Concubine De, and as soon as her eyes locked on He Linwan, she glared fiercely, so frightened that several show girls who were sitting closer to He Linwan couldn't help but move their positions. Only Xue Wanqing and He Zhen didn't move, Xue Wanqing didn't care, and He Zhen didn't notice Princess Chunyang at all.
Waiting for Concubine De and Princess Chunyang to sit down, Xue Wanqing whispered, "How did you offend them so much?"
He Linwan was very helpless, she couldn't even remember how she had a feud with the mother and daughter. She reflected on herself, she has been a low-key person all these years.
