Chapter 11 The Royal Garden Meets the Butterfly Girl
Crescent Palace
"Princess, I heard that you were betrothed to the prime minister's son by His Majesty. www.biquge.info I heard that the prince is a sinister, vicious, and heinous villain, and if the princess marries him, there will be no good life in the future. The maid Ziyan helped Qianyu comb her hair while muttering about the news she had just heard.
"What? Why is the father so confused, how can he marry the child to such a bastard, and the happiness of the child's life will be ruined. Qianyu stood up angrily and knocked a pearl flower in Ziyan's hand to the ground.
"No, I have to go to my father and tell her that I don't agree to this marriage."
"Princess, don't worry." Ziyan stopped Qianyu and dragged her back to the stool. "That's what I said, maybe not true. You first ask Niangniang to see if it's true, and then go to Your Majesty to theorize, if you go over so abruptly, if it's not true, won't Qi make Your Majesty angry? ”
When Qianyu heard the maid say this, she also felt that she was a little reckless and inconsiderate. After all, marriage is not a trivial matter, it is better to probe the mother's tone first, the child is the flesh that fell from the mother's body, and I think she will not watch her daughter jump into the fire pit and stand by. Thinking of this, Qianyu had an idea in her heart, and the smile on her face returned to the one she had just now.
After freshening up and dressing up, Qianyu decided to take the opportunity to ask her mother in the morning to ask her mother about the truth of the matter.
The concubine's bedroom
"Mother, the princess came to say goodbye." The maid Shuilian walked to the front of the couch and said a thousand blessings.
"Please let her in." The lady had just eaten breakfast and was sitting on the step drinking tea.
A maid had already lifted the beaded curtain, and Qianyu walked in with her head down, and after saying goodbye to her mother, she came to her mother and sat down.
"Mother, how are you doing lately?"
"It's fine. What about you? How have you been reading books lately? ”
"The things that my husband taught me were very simple, I memorized them all, and I drew a few pictures in my free time, and I will bring them to my mother one day."
"Oh? Who did you learn from that when you could draw? Concubine Shuniang was very surprised, she didn't think that her daughter still had this ability. It's not something that ordinary people can draw.
"I learned from Master Ji, he is good at fine brush painting, flowers, birds, insects and fish, portraits, all of which are lifelike, and my daughter really likes his paintings, so I begged him to teach my daughter."
"Oh, I didn't expect Master Ji to have this ability. I really don't know if he can paint in addition to teaching, so one day I'll have to ask him to paint a portrait of me and hang it in this dormitory. ”
"By the way, mother, I heard that the father has set a family affair for the child, but is it true?"
"I just heard about this, it's the son of Prime Minister Gui's family, I heard that the person has a dignified appearance, and his kung fu is also very good, and his character is ...... Seeing that the prime minister is honest and loyal to the court, it is estimated that his son is not much worse. Concubine Niangniang took a sip of tea and looked at Qianyu with a smile.
"But I heard that man's character is not very good, mother, I am still young, I don't want to marry so early. I still want to serve my mother in the palace for a few years. Talk to your father about it, and talk about it in a few years. Qianyu shook her mother's arm and said coquettishly.
"Really? I think Prime Minister Turtle is very good, and his son is not far behind. Don't worry, wait for me to ask your father to see if it's what you've heard. ”
"Isn't there a popular saying among the people, women don't stay, and they stay and stay to be sad. You're not too young, it's time to think about your life's events. ”
"This palace knows that you are filial, but I can't always keep you by my side, if you meet a good family, you should get married. People's youth is short, especially women's youth, good times are only a few years, you must grasp it well. ”
"Although you are the daughter of the royal family, happiness is not always beckoning to you, you must know how to seize opportunities. Regarding your marriage, this palace will make the decision for you, so you can go back first. ”
"Mother's ......"
"Okay, I'm tired and need to rest." Concubine Shu waved her hand and motioned for Qianyu to go back. Qianyu still wanted to say a few words to her mother, but her mother didn't want to listen to her anymore, so she had to bow down to her mother and leave Concubine Shu's bedroom.
It's good if you haven't heard about it, but since you've heard about it, you can't let it go of it. Especially those rumors about the bad son of the prime minister, they are like a virus that eats the princess's heart, so that the princess's heart cannot be quiet for a moment. After staying in his dormitory for a while, he felt bored and panicked, so he planned to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk.
The imperial garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, the flowers are blooming brightly, and the butterflies are dancing and wandering, but these beautiful scenery cannot drive away the boredom in Qianyu's heart. She was pacing the garden alone and worried, when she suddenly heard a small voice calling out to herself.
"Huh? Who's calling me? She looked around, and there was no one around, so her ears had misheard. She laughed at herself for being too stupid, probably because she was always depressed and hallucinating. She was just about to continue admiring the flowers, when the voice reappeared. The princess listened attentively, and sure enough, not far from her, a very small, small voice called to her.
"Princess, princess, it's me. Do you see me? ”
This time, Princess Qianyu could hear it really well. However, the sound seems to be coming from among the flowers. She looked down at the flowers for a long time, only to find a colorful butterfly beckoning to her on a peony flower. She leaned her head over and asked, "Are you calling me?" ”
The butterfly flew over, turned around, and became a girl of twelve or thirteen. Qianyu looked the little girl up and down. I saw that she was small and exquisite, and her pink face was petite and cute. Thin lips are rosy and shiny. She wears a tight yellow coat on top, green bloomers on the bottom, and a green silk wash around her waist. Wear a pair of green embroidered shoes on her feet.
The girl is slender, and the curves of her body are looming, especially those eyes, looking forward to drifting, as if they are clear springs. Qianyu liked it very much, as if the two of them had known each other for a long time.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Qianyu couldn't help but ask.
"My name is Xiao Tong."
"Where are you from, and why did you come to the Dragon Palace Imperial Garden?"
"My family lives in the far south, but because the mother of a friend of mine was sick and needed to collect a medicinal herb, I heard that this medicinal herb is only available on the bottom of the East China Sea, so I came here to look for it. I didn't want to discover this imperial garden, but I saw the beautiful flowers and plants in the garden, so I flew in to collect some nectar to take back to eat. As he spoke, the boy took out a delicate vial from his bosom, unscrewed the cap, and there was a lot of honey in it.
"Oh, then I don't know if you found the herb you needed? I'm familiar with this place, and if you don't find it, maybe I can help you. ”
"I haven't found it yet. I'm so glad if you could help me. It's called blood-colored coral, and I've heard that it only exists at very deep seabed. ”
"Come with me." Qian Yu led the child back to the Crescent Moon Palace, then took out a sandalwood box, opened the box, and there were two complete corals inside, the coral seemed to have been soaked in blood water, like the red of blood, which made people feel shocked. Akane handed the coral to the child. The child took it and held it in his hand, precipitating the feeling. Look at every branch again, as if it were about to drip water.
"Go back to the old man's house, your friend must be in a hurry. I wanted to keep you here for a few days, but it seems that I have to wait for your friend's mother to come back to play. ”
"The boy thanked the princess for saving me for my friend, and I will repay him in the future. By the way, princess, I saw you depressed by yourself just now, but what troubled you? If the princess doesn't mind, can you talk to the child? ”
"Uh...... It's nothing, you better hurry back and deliver the medicine. ”
"Well, well, please take care of the princess, the boy is gone."
