Chapter 36: Princess Qiongjiu
Today's palace is clean, and it is rare to have such a clean day, in the morning, Meng Zhining moved a bamboo chair and put it in the courtyard, comfortably basking in the sun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past few days, Xu Qi's business over there is very good, fifty cups of flower tea are sold out every day, and even the palace knows about Xu's teahouse in this capital, and the famous nobles in the capital naturally go early every day to wait for the door to open.
Meng Zhining squinted her eyes, she didn't expect this thing to sell so easily, isn't a cup of silver too cheap?
When I went out of the house another day, I mentioned the price to Xu Mi, and by the way, I sold more things in the teahouse, and it was too monotonous to sell tea.
"Master Meng." A crisp voice rang in my ears.
Meng Zhining opened her eyes, isn't this the little girl who gave her silver last time?
She is now dressed in a white royal garment.
"From now on, I will come here to serve Master Meng." The little girl smiled sweetly.
Meng Zhining sat up: "How did you get in?" ”
The little girl said: "A few days ago, the palace recruited maids, and then I came in." ”
It turns out that this is the case, with this little maid by her side, it is also convenient for her to send a message to Xu Mi.
"Master Meng can call me Taohua in the future."
The little girl was quite well-behaved, and Meng Zhining said, "You can go directly to Sister Mingyue." ”
"Okay." She nodded, "But master, why are you still here?" ”
Meng Zhining asked, "What's the matter, where are I going if I'm not here?" ”
Taohua said: "I heard from the grandmother who just led me into the mansion that today it seems that Princess Qiongjiu went to live in the mansion today......"
The emperor has three sons, but the youngest daughter has only one, that is Princess Qiongjiu, Meng Zhining heard that Princess Qiongjiu is sixteen years old this year, generally speaking, the royal family has already taken over the marriage at the age of eleven or twelve, but the princess is sixteen years old The emperor did not arrange for her.
As for why it was not arranged, Meng Zhining didn't know, and looking at the appearance of Yan Xiling and Yan Xihong, presumably this Princess Qiongjiu would not be too ugly.
This is not a matter for her to care about, presumably she can go through the process at noon, and now she is not a concubine, and she doesn't need to worry about these things.
Her goal is to eat and sleep in peace and earn money!
After returning to the house and changing her clothes, Meng Zhining waited for Yan Xiling to send someone to find her.
At noon, Mama Shen went to the inner room and said, "Master, the prince asked you to go to the main hall." ”
"Got it." Meng Zhining patted the dust on her hands, asked Ming Yue to comb her a very simple hairpin and went to the main hall, and today she was wearing a very ordinary plain snow silk skirt.
All the people in the main hall are basically here, Yan Xiling is sitting on the top, and next to him is Princess Qiongjiu.
This Princess Qiongjiu is completely a child, the facial features on her face are still very immature, and she has not grown at all, and a pair of watery eyes are looking around, and finally her eyes stay on Meng Zhining.
Meng Zhining smiled softly, and said with a standard salute: "Concubine Meng Zhining, please say hello to the princess." ”
Princess Qiong Jiu raised her chin: "You are the Meng family?" ”
Meng Zhining nodded quietly and sat at the back of the banquet.
She really wanted to eat meat now, standing here, her eyes didn't know how to glance at the things on the table a few times, and after saluting Liu Ruyan, Yan Xiling and the aunts, she sat next to Yu Shengxi.
But she forgot one thing.
She has thought about it in Qianyu Courtyard now, and she can't serve it at the table, and Huai Yang Er beside her whispered: "Why did my sister sit down, didn't I remember that Sister Meng was still reflecting in Qianyu Courtyard?" ”
Generally speaking, concubines can't be served, and they have to serve vegetables on the side, but now that there is a reflective Meng Zhining, they are exempted from the matter of cloth dishes, and these things have to be handed over to Meng Zhining.
Only then did she understand, stood up and smiled generously: "The concubine has forgotten, and I hope the princess and princess will forgive me." ”
Meng Zhining directly said forgive to the three people at the front of the seat, and didn't pay attention to Huai Yang Er at all, Huai Yang Er's face couldn't get over it, and she blushed slightly.
"So what are you sitting there for?" Yan Xiling glanced at her.
It's all because the meat on the table is too tempting.
Withdrawing the heart that wanted to eat meat, Meng Zhining went to Yan Xiling's side to give him vegetables.
Looking at the bowls of meat but couldn't eat it, Meng Zhining gritted her teeth, she really wanted to poison a little.
Princess Qiongjiu was looking at her with all her name when she was eating, and Meng Zhining was wondering if there was a vegetable on her face, which caused this little girl to look at her intently.
After lunch, Yan Xiling asked Princess Qiongjiu beside her: "Qiongjiu, there seems to be no empty yard in the mansion, do you want to wait to live in my yard?" ”
"Don't." Princess Qiongjiu drank tea, refused directly, and then pointed to the innocent Meng Zhining: "I want to live with her." ”
Ancestors! Meng Zhining shouted silently in her heart, why do you want to live in her yard if you don't live with Yan Xiling, and her yard is the worst Qianyu Courtyard.
So, after lunch, the great god went back to Senyu Temple with her.
The little girl sat on the soft collapse, looking at her intently, Meng Zhining took off the jewelry on her head and said, "Princess, please take care of yourself, the concubine is a little shabby, don't dislike it, princess." ”
Princess Qiongjiu shrugged: "Fortunately, this is still quite soft, that is your bed?" ”
She pointed to Meng Zhining's bed, which only had a bed board and a sheet.
Meng Zhining said: "Yes, I'm used to sleeping." ”
Princess Qiong Jiu muttered: "The eldest brother said that you listened to it interesting, why didn't I see it?" ”
Brother Great? Prince Yan Qian?
Meng Zhining laughed dryly.
"But I heard the eldest brother say that you are the third princess, how did you become a concubine?" Princess Qiong Jiu asked curiously.
Meng Zhining picked up the comb and replied, "I almost made your imperial brother die, and I was directly degraded by your third imperial brother as a concubine." ”
"Oh......" Princess Qiong Jiu nodded incomprehensibly.
Then it took five minutes before he asked, "Why did you make my imperial brother die?" ”
smiled awkwardly, Meng Zhining really dug a pit for herself and buried herself, can't she just change the words and just perfunctory?
"Forget it, I won't ask, I'm sleepy, let's go to the side room to rest first." She gave a hitch and hopped back to the side room.
Meng Zhining smiled: "This little girl." ”
Ming Yue snorted and laughed on the side: "Miss, she is sixteen, and you are only eighteen years old." ”
Meng Zhining sighed: "You don't understand the heart of a woman whose psychology has begun to celebrate Women's Day. ”
Mingyue was confused, what is Women's Day? Never have she ever been.
"Where do you get so many words?" Meng Zhining said angrily, "Why don't you go to the princess's side and help her tidy up the side room." ”
