Chapter 22: The Lazy Princess
Ningguo, Dingnan Palace.
It is getting closer and closer to August 15, and the Dingnan palace is full of joy, all preparing for the prince's wedding, and only one person is depressed, that is, Chi Xiaoman, who lives in the "Qingqiu Garden".
However, she was depressed and depressed, she didn't abuse herself at all, she ate and drank regularly every day, and she was quite demanding about eating and drinking, and often proposed some strange dishes, which bothered the chefs of Dingnan Palace.
But she either eats or sleeps, or she looks out of the window, in a daze, except for when she asks the cook in the house to make new dishes, she also has some spirit and smiles, and the rest of the time is very dull.
Ling'er was very worried, she knew that Miss's personality was not like this, although they had not been together for a long time, but on the way to Ningguo, the gap between Miss's cheerfulness and her current depression was too big, if she couldn't see that something was wrong, then these eyes would be white.
She knew that Miss didn't have a prince in her heart, there was another man, and with Miss's stubborn personality, she was really afraid that Miss would do something bad......
The other slaves in Qingqiu Yuan didn't think the same as Ling'er, they all felt that this future princess was beautiful, but why was she so lazy!
Whether the bride is a big family or a small jasper, rich or not, she will more or less prepare for her dowry. If the female celebrity is unlucky, at least she will embroider a mandarin duck pillow and embroidered upper, and no matter how bad she is, she will always embroider a handkerchief and purse for herself, right?
But she didn't seem to have done anything, I heard...... It seems that she doesn't know how to be popular with women, so she will only eat it!
They didn't know what Tianji Star was, it sounded quite powerful, but in fact, they couldn't see anything powerful about this Chi girl.
Oh...... It seems to be very good at eating, at least some of the strange dishes made by the chefs in the house, they have never seen it, but the taste is really good.
The princess is the future head of the palace, and she really can't understand what their prince who is in the wind in Yushu marries such a rice worm who can only eat and drink, and what they are thinking in their hearts, they are all going to cry out for the prince.
Especially the only concubine of the prince in the palace - Liu Xianghe.
She was originally a person who served the prince by the prince's side, but once because the king of Dingnan was drunk, she became the prince's person when she served closely, and Ning Qingyun made her a concubine in order to be responsible.
Since the prince was seventeen years old, she has been with the prince for five years, I thought that with her own appearance, the prince has never married, and she is the only concubine, one day the prince will make her a side concubine, but I didn't expect that five years have passed, and the concubine is still a concubine.
And the prince seems to have made her a concubine, as if he forgot about her save, and never touched her again, and the people who served around the prince were also replaced by a newly bought little scholar, she wanted to go to the prince, but she was repeatedly shut down, causing her to want to conceive the prince's child, and her wish to have a mother and son was also disappointed.
Speaking of which, she was also an official lady before she entered the house at the age of fifteen, and she couldn't be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least she had some materials in her chest, and the female celebrity was not a problem, if it wasn't for her father who committed a crime and was dismissed, she would not have been sold to the palace.
However, she was glad that she was sold to Dingnan Palace. Speaking of Ning Qingyun, the king of Dingnan, at the age of only seventeen, he was named the king of Dingnan for pacifying the chaos in the south, coupled with his extraordinary appearance, he is the most trusted prince of Emperor Ning, and has the best chance of becoming a candidate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and there is no better man than Ning Qingyun in the entire Ning Kingdom.
Therefore, she was more dissatisfied with the princess than others when she wanted to marry a woman like Chi Xiaoman, who knew nothing and had an empty face, as the princess.
The weather at the beginning of August was very hot during the day, only the house was cooler, and Chi Xiaoman developed the habit of taking a nap.
On this day, there was a sudden noise outside the Qingqiu Courtyard, which made Xiaoman quarrel. She put on a thin coat and got up, and heard what seemed to be Ling'er and a woman arguing outside.
"Ling'er, who is barking in front of Qingqiu Garden?" She stepped out of the room, and the scorching sun steamed up the fire that she had been woken up from her nap, and the words she said were naturally not good, and she scolded the person as a dog.
"Miss, yes...... Concubine Liu wanted to see you, and the slave told her that you were taking a nap, and Concubine Liu insisted that the slave and maid let you get up to see her. Ling'er told the truth, and was not afraid of offending Liu Xianghe because of this.
She is a clever head, and she has already asked who should be paid attention to in the palace in the past few days when she came to the palace, and although this concubine is the only concubine of the king of Dingnan, she is not valued by the prince, and she is just a slave who has climbed on the master's bed.
"Yes, I came to see my sister, but this dared to stop me. Liu Xianghe raised her head and squinted at Ling'er, looking quite arrogant, but she didn't hear that she was scolded by Chi Xiaoman for barking like a mad dog.
And she is not afraid of Chi Xiaoman, because in her heart, she has long regarded Chi Xiaoman as a timid and cowardly straw bale beauty who knows nothing, so she will not be polite to the slaves and maids in her courtyard.
"Who is your sister, you can eat more, don't recognize your relatives. Chi Xiaoman was on fire and had nowhere to go, and someone happened to come to "vent the fire" for her.
Her wish is to be a rice worm, yes, and she has indeed been a rice worm in Dingnan Wangfu for the past few days, but this is not the place she wants to stay! If it is changed to Huai'an Wangfu, it will be a different situation.
Alas...... If Wei Chimu doesn't come again, he will really be trapped here for the rest of his life!
But she was quite surprised, it turned out that Ning Qingyun already had a little wife? Fortunately, she didn't like Ning Qingyun anymore, so she didn't want to share a husband with others!
She stared at Liu Xianghe, and felt that this Liu concubine looked pretty good, but her head was not very bright, and she actually came to provoke herself.
"Why does my sister talk like this, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, my sister is the princess, my sister has always served the prince, and she is called a princess, what's wrong?" Liu Xianghe said this, and suddenly changed her words and said, "But ...... My sister has something to say and kindly reminds my sister that the princesses of the other princes are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the embroidery is also handy. ”
Chi Xiaoman looked at her with a smile and said: "It's really a shame that you think so much about King Dingnan, but I don't need you to worry about my affairs, why King Dingnan wants to marry me, I'm afraid it's not understandable for people of your status, and you don't need to be hostile to me, I have no interest in your prince at all." ”
Liu Xianghe looked incredulous, how many ministers in Ningguo want to have a relationship with the king of Dingnan, in the past few years, they just want to send their daughters to the palace of Dingnan, and it is rumored that the king of Dingnan is the first choice for the daughters of the boudoir to marry, this Chi Xiaoman will not be interested in the prince? I'm afraid he's just talking big!
But this is also because Liu Xianghe doesn't know that Chi Xiaoman is the Liuxia princess of the Shengxing Dynasty, after all, although the "Tianji Star" has been rumored, but everyone knows that the original Princess Liuxia of Tianji Xing has fallen into the water and died, and now this "new" Tianji Star Chi Xiaoman is the identity of the Liuxia princess is still rarely known, otherwise Chi Xiaomangui is the identity of the princess, even if she is a straw bag princess, there is no mother's power, and Liu Xianghe, who has no backing in the palace, does not dare to be presumptuous in front of her for a while.
