CHAPTER XXI

Since Chen Huan married a wife, it is different from before, she began her lady's diplomatic life, every ten days and a half in the princess's mansion to hold various parties, invite all the ladies and ladies, so the princess's mansion is often full of friends, sometimes the couple together to send a post to invite the courtiers to the banquet with their families, at this time the prince Chen Xie will most likely come to the banquet, I have been twice, but my identity is embarrassing, as a proton, most of these ladies and ladies look down on me, but I am the queen's niece, The prince and the princess value me again, and they don't dare to provoke me easily, so they simply stay away from me, and I myself feel very bored, so when I received Chen Huan's invitation, I pushed it away if I could, and Chen Huan also noticed my embarrassment after many times, so he stopped harassing me.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the end of the year, and my father and queen mother sent someone to send me a lot of things, this time Brother Wang did not come, I asked the envoy from South Korea to say that King Xinzheng is now overseeing the military power, and he has to follow his father to deal with the government is very busy. Brother Wang asked the messenger to bring me a letter, and some gifts are things that I love to eat and play since I was a child, I especially like it, Brother Wang's letter in addition to greetings to peace, just briefly and vaguely said that we agreed on things he is working on, I know that he is talking about welcoming me back to China, with his words I feel much more at ease.

So I wrote two letters and sent them to my father and brother respectively, and sorted out some of the things I had collected and brought them as gifts. Just after this matter sent away the messenger, the next person came to report that it was the princess Liu Huan came, so I hurriedly greeted out, Chen Huan's car stopped in front of the inner door, I went up to help her out of the carriage, but saw her eyes slightly swollen, I couldn't help but be surprised, quickly helped her into the inner courtyard, to the Dongnuan Pavilion just sat down, someone came in to report that there was a son surnamed Wei asked to see, I was stunned, took his eyes to look at Chen Huan, Chen Huan's face was slightly red, and said in a low voice, "I just met him on the street, it's not good to talk outside, I borrowed my sister's place and used it. "I secretly complained in my heart, to be honest, I have seen Cao Changan several times, although many times he is surrounded by beautiful women, but his eyes are bright, although sometimes his mouth is filthy, but there is no trace of obscenity on his face, I always feel that he is not as unbearable as he appears on the surface. I thought that since Chen Huan was married to him, it was better to get along well and make her more comfortable. But Chen Huan couldn't listen to my advice, she and Cao Changan lived their own lives in the princess's mansion, one lived in the outer courtyard and the other lived in the inner courtyard, which had nothing to do with each other.

Now that she met Wei Sheng and wanted to borrow my place to meet, I felt a little sorry for them, and felt a little sorry for Cao Changan, and felt a little embarrassed in my heart, and then thought that they would go somewhere else even if they were not here, and it was not easy for me to make trouble.

So I had a headache and ordered my subordinates to take Wei Sheng to the guest house, Chen Huan borrowed my makeup to tidy up his appearance, and took a personal maid to the guest house. I commanded my men not to disturb them.

I have nothing to do, and I can't read the book, so I led the maids to roast sweet potatoes in the East Warm Pavilion, there are eight maids around me, Jade Butterfly Colorful Silk and two little maids Chun Nuan Qingmo I brought from South Korea, the remaining four are newly bought maids after moving out of the palace, they are all Yan people, they are following Mama Xu to learn the rules, these four people are younger than eleven or twelve years old, naturally they are still naïve, so they are more lively, they are not like the Jade Butterfly four people are grown up in the Korean palace The rules are natural, I asked Mama Xu not to be too strict, so they would get together and giggle when they were fine, so my yard added some laughter, and it seemed less cold and quiet.

When Mama Xu came in, the freshly baked sweet potatoes had just come out of the oven, and there was a sweet smell all over the room, and Mama Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness, these girls who are becoming more and more indulgent have no rules." Several maids were a little afraid of Mama Xu, and when they saw her coming, they quickly got up and stood up. I smiled and said, "It's because they don't have rules, it's because I want to eat baked sweet potatoes." "I haven't eaten these in the palace before, or once the four little maids hid in their own room to roast sweet potatoes, I smelled the taste and tasted, and since then I have liked it, so I let them roast it every few days to satisfy their cravings, I have learned it after watching it a few times, but Mama Xu stopped me from doing it myself, so I have a lot less fun, so I can only sit next to it and wait to eat.

Mama Xu saw that the sweet potato was baked, picked up a soft dish and put it in front of me, I took the chopsticks, picked the skin open, and ate it slowly while it was hot, two bites of it, the stomach was warm, Mama Xu poured a cup of hot tea, I drank a few sips, ate a sweet potato, Mama Xu put away the dishes and chopsticks, and didn't let me eat any more, I took the tea and drank it slowly, and after a while, Mama Xu sent the little maids out, leaving only the jade butterfly and the colored silk to serve in the house.

I knew that she had something to say, so I silently waited for her to speak, and seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Mama Xu spoke: "Your Highness did something wrong today, you shouldn't let the second princess see that Wei Gongzi." I was silent for a moment: "I know it shouldn't be like this, it's just to see them pitiful." Mama Xu: "If this spreads, the second princess will have a bad reputation, and even Her Royal Highness will not be good, and she will be affected." She then complained: "The second princess is really, and I don't know if I think about Her Highness, Your Highness is still a girl, if it spreads, won't it ruin Your Highness's reputation in vain." I smiled and comforted her: "Mama don't worry, it's only this once, I'll persuade her well in a while, and I'll make it clear to her......"

It's just that I didn't wait for me to persuade her, two hours later, the maid came in and reported that the second princess had left, and Wei Gongzi wanted to see me, I was inexplicable, I didn't know why Chen Huan didn't say hello and left, and why Wei Sheng wanted to see me.

After tidying up my makeup, I went to the study to see Wei Sheng, he thanked me a little awkwardly, and then told me that Chen Huan was in a hurry to go back to the princess's mansion, I thought that she was probably a little embarrassed to see me, and then Wei Sheng said that he was going to return to Chen Huan's side from tomorrow to continue to be her chief guard. I was silent after listening to it, and it seemed that these two people were determined to stay together, so I couldn't help but ask: "What if Cao Changan knows?" Wei Sheng paused and said: "They have lived their own lives since they got married, Cao Changan has not stepped into the princess's room, and there are countless concubines around him, is the princess guarding him like this?" There was a hint of anger and distress in his voice. I was speechless, I really didn't want to meddle in their affairs, but fortunately they didn't have to borrow my place anymore in the future. After a few idle words with me, Wei Sheng said goodbye and left.

Then it was the New Year, I was the only master in my house, and there was nothing to do, everything inside and outside was taken care of by Mother Xu, I entered the palace for the New Year's banquet in Chinese New Year's Eve, and then returned to the house, and the queen did not keep me, she is now busy fighting with several concubines of the king's new favorite, since the king recovered from his illness, he has become more and more fond of young women, asking for countless requests every night, it is said that the newly favored Concubine Li has just turned twelve years old and is a relative of Chen Pu's family. I heard about it, and I felt sorry for her, she was still a child and didn't understand anything, so she was involved in this power struggle and became a victim.

Chen Xie and Chen Pu are said to be fighting evenly now, Chen Pu has a faint tendency to gain the upper hand, probably because the prince is busy taking care of himself, I only saw him for a while at the New Year's banquet, and then I never saw him again, I usually don't have time to hide from him, and this time I wish they fought as fiercely as possible.

Song Erniang sent letters for Liu Mao every once in a while, he and his younger brother are now in a stalemate in a place called Juye, he has now occupied most of the territory of the Liang Kingdom, he said that now he is very busy, not only to fight, but also to govern the places he has obtained. He could only rest for a short time every day, and sometimes he had to convene a meeting of his staff in the middle of the night. I felt sorry for him when I saw it, so I wrote to him to take care of his health.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Chen Huan asked me to see the lanterns, I couldn't refuse, so I promised her, when it was not dark, she came to pick me up, saying that she had booked a banquet in the newly opened welcome building, and I took Yudie Caijuan to follow her.

This welcome building is located on the west side of Tianjin Bridge, the geographical location is better than Baiwei Zhai, it is the most prosperous and lively center of Jicheng, and this building has a total of four floors, almost a high-rise building in Jicheng, in the building can basically overlook the panoramic view of the entire Jicheng, at this time Chen Huan and I are standing on the balcony on the fourth floor, all the balconies here are colluded, that is to say, the outer layer of the fourth floor is surrounded by a circle of balconies, from this balcony can enter any private room on the fourth floor.

I secretly wondered who could open such a hotel in Jicheng, if it was really a war, this restaurant would be a ready-made watchtower and beacon tower. The wind on the balcony was very strong, I wrapped my cloak and pulled Chen Huan into the private room, the decoration in the private room was magnificent, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall were all handwritten by famous artists, and the antiques displayed on the shelves were genuine, I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I asked Chen Huan who the owner of this hotel was, Chen Huan said that she didn't know. So I stopped inquiring and kept it in my heart.
