Chapter 10: The Princess Arrives

I have to say that the efficiency of the palace is still very fast, early the next morning after Situ Ningbing returned home, her reward for "saving the car for meritorious service" came down, not only the treasures and antiques rewarded by the emperor but also the jewelry brocade rewarded by the concubine, and the most incredible thing is that even the prince has a reward!

"Miss, this sun is coming out of the west?" Seeing that the two boxes of the so-called prince's reward were a little inexplicable, and she didn't believe that Yang Yi, who had a small belly, would have such a heart.

Situ Ningbing looked at the four treasures of the study, jade calligraphy and painting in the boxes and said with a faint smile: "Silly girl, this is not the sun coming out of the west, but the hearts of parents in the world. "It's really embarrassing to prepare two rewards for the same concubine, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is spoiled, may not understand his mother's hard work.

Seeing the pity, he smiled, and then sighed: "Obviously bleeding the same blood, why is it so bad?"

Mentioning Yang Yan, Situ Ningbing changed the subject, pointed to a few boxes in front of him and said: "You pick some of the good ones that the prince rewards and send them to the eldest prince, and half of the concubine's reward will be sent to the courtyard of the uncle and the lady, and the ones rewarded by the emperor will be sent to the Tianxiang Pavilion." ”

Seeing that she was shocked to find that she was speechless and didn't dare to say anything more, she lowered her head to do things, Situ Ningbing was about to turn around and go back to the room, but there was an exclamation in her ears.

"What's going on?" Situ Ningbing looked at the source of the sound unhurriedly.

The frightened big girl Bi Yuan pointed to a rosewood box filled with brocade silk with a frightened face and stammered: "Inside... Yes... Something is moving!"

Without waiting for Situ Ningbing to speak, he saw that Pian had already walked a few steps to the box, and reached out and grabbed it into the pile of brocade silk. A little girl was carried out of the box by her like a chicken, and the maids and servants all over the yard looked at her in horror while being surprised, and thought in their hearts: "This girl looks at the thin woman on weekdays, and her strength is so great!"

The little girl was carried by Jianlian and struggled desperately, "Let me down! I'll go back and ask my father to spank you...!" But no matter how she struggled and shouted, Jianpian was unmoved, and carried her all the way to Situ Ningbing.

Situ Ningbing looked the little girl up and down, and saw that she was only ** years old, but her hair was full of pearls, brocade clothes, a small face carved in pink and jade was wrinkled, and there was a vague shadow of Li Guifei between her eyebrows, so she had already guessed her identity. So he instructed Mama Xue: "Tell them all to get busy, take care of their mouths!"

"Miss, this..." Mama Xue glanced at the little girl, and stopped talking.

Situ Ningbing didn't wait for her to say anything before she smiled and said, "Mama don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Mama Xue didn't say much when she heard this, Situ Ningbing has been soft on the outside and strong on the inside since she was a child, and although she has been away from home for ten years, this has never changed. Mama Xue knew in her heart that no matter how much she said, Miss wouldn't listen, so why bother Miss? She is self-aware, although she is Miss's nurse, Miss didn't grow up by her side, and it's better to be pitiful when it comes to love, if she relies on the old and sells the old with the identity of a nurse, Miss will turn her face and don't think about it for the rest of her life!

Situ Ningbing asked Jianlian to bring the little girl into the main house where he lived, retreated, squatted down and said to the little girl who was still struggling: "Today is the Obon Festival, I heard that it is very lively to cast flames and release river lanterns at night, do you want to go?"

The little girl was stunned and didn't make a fuss, and looked at Situ Ningbing strangely with a pair of big watery eyes, "Don't you ask who I am, why am I in the box?"

"I asked if you wanted to look at the lanterns, but I thought you would hide in a box, and you must have been suffocated at home, and you secretly ran out to play. Look, it's nothing to take you out for the sake of your cuteness. As for who you are, it has nothing to do with me taking you out to play, so why should I ask?"

The little girl looked at Situ Ningbing with bright eyes, "Are you really willing to take me out to play?" She has never left the palace since she was born, and occasionally heard the palace people talk about things outside the palace and wanted to go out of the palace to take a look, but her father and mother were not allowed, she thought for a long time before she came up with the idea of hiding in the reward and secretly leaving the palace, today she saw the opportunity to run out but didn't think about where to go, she didn't expect to meet this "kind" sister actually offered to take herself out to play, her luck was really good!

Situ Ningbing was a little weak by her clear eyes without a trace of impurities, although she has been used to being two-faced and stabbed over the years, and she has done a lot of things to deceive the dead without paying for her life, but she herself is a little contemptuous of this kind of thing when it comes to deceiving children. But no matter what he thought in his heart, Situ Ningbing always maintained a child's favorite smile on his face, and continued to deceive: "As long as you are obedient and don't run around, I will take you there now." "After all, it was the princess who lost it, and she couldn't afford to pay for it.

The little girl nodded vigorously, "Well, I'm very good and won't run around." With a suspicious look on her boss Tu Ningbing, she thought for a moment and stretched out her short, small and cute little finger, "Let's pull the hook." ”

Situ Ningbing was stunned, why do children like to use this trick? When she was a child, she often used this trick to fool the stupid second brother to help her take the blame and keep her mouth shut. After thinking about it, this trick against children was really unpleasant, so Situ Ningbing smiled and stretched out his little finger to hook the little girl's little finger, pretending to be serious: "We have pulled the hook, you are not allowed to regret it." ”

"It's the puppy who regrets it!" the little girl assured with a serious face.

Situ Ningbing glanced at her and called Yuhe, who was guarding outside the house, and ordered, "You take her to freshen up and change into simpler clothes." Yuhe glanced at the little girl with some doubts, and then took the order to take her hand and go to the clean room.

Situ Ningbing glanced at Yuhe's slender back and nodded secretly, "Concubine De really knows how to train people." He also instructed Jianlian: "You send someone to Li Jiayi to say that his princess's little cousin is here with me, ask him to enter the palace to inform Li Guifei and tell her not to worry, and I will send the princess back to the palace after seeing the lanterns at night." ”

Seeing that Lianyan hesitated: "Miss, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, and Li Jiayi may not agree." She also guessed the identity and origin of the little girl, and she didn't agree with her master doing such a thankless thing.

Situ Ningbing didn't explain much, but said leisurely: "I'm for his little cousin's happy childhood, he, as a cousin, naturally has to contribute, why don't you agree? As for how to persuade Li Guifei, that's his business." Besides, with her understanding of Li Jiayi, he will not shirk this matter even if he is not very happy.

Seeing mercy doesn't really expect the master to change his mind because of his words, it's just to test her intentions, since she doesn't want to say more, she can't ask more, and the young lady treats her leniently, but that's just when she doesn't touch the bottom line of the young lady, if she crosses even half a step, she doesn't dare to imagine what will happen to her!

Situ Ningbing let Jian Lian wait to change into a lake-green snow gauze narrow-sleeved skirt with a Xiangfei-colored brocade, removed the crystal glass on his head, broke up his hair and lost a fallen horse bun again, replaced with a simple but delicate white crystal phoenix hairpin, and replaced his ears with a pair of small pearls, dressed simply and refreshingly.

When Situ Ningbing finished dressing up, Yuhe's side was almost there, and the little girl who had changed into a hibiscus-colored embroidered daffodil skirt and took off her head full of pearls and emeralds and left only a red gold butterfly hairpin walked in. Situ Ningbing looked at it twice, personally picked a string of hosta hairpins from the blue glazed blue vase on a white background in the room, put it on her sideburns, and said with a smile: "This looks better." As he spoke, he took the little girl's hand and instructed Yuhe, "Put away all the clothes and jewelry she has changed." I also told Mama Xue that I was going out for a walk, and when Mrs. asked, she said that I would come back after putting the river lantern in the evening, so that she didn't have to worry, and she didn't send someone to find it. ”

Yuhe was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then responded: "Yes, the slave knows." "I have been in Mingzhuyuan for nearly half a month, but she has never figured out the temper of this master, and the maids and ladies privately say that the young lady has a good temperament and is very good at serving, but she knows that this is not the case, and the first thing to learn if you want to stay here for a long time is to be obedient.

Situ Ningbing glanced at her with satisfaction, and then led the little girl to the back door of the courtyard with Jianlian, reasoning that the daughter of a family like her would go out, not to mention that she would have to have a carload of maids and mothers-in-law to follow, and it was indispensable to streamline two carriages. However, the Situ clan is still martial, and the more military generals in the clan are not as pedantic as the civil official families who go to the imperial examination, and Situ Ningbing secretly went through the back door without alarming others, and the three of them went out of the house easily.
