After receiving the birthday banquet of the ninth princess, An Jin sorted out the information about the ninth princess and her biological mother Wen Jieyu, all she knew was some background marriage network, but the details of their mother and daughter in the palace were not very clear.

So An Jin called Cai Qing again, and then asked Cai Qing to talk about the things about the ninth princess in the palace, she listened, and occasionally interjected a sentence or two of questions, only by Cai Qing thought about all the information she thought was relevant, to see if there were any details that needed attention.

The biological mother of the ninth princess, Wen Jieyu, is the daughter of a small family in Jiangnan, and her father is the governor of Wupin in Jiangzhou, and has no foundation and in-laws in Kyoto. Wen Jieyu was born small and exquisite, gentle and lovely, and for a while she was also quite favored, when she first entered the palace, she was named the beauty of the fourth grade, and she was set for four years, and after giving birth to the ninth princess, she was promoted to the position of Jieyu of the third grade, and later became pregnant, although she had a miscarriage, Emperor Jing took pity on her, and still entered the rank to make Zhaoyi of the second grade.

The ninth princess followed her mother, although she was not a stunning beauty, she was also beautiful and gentle, soft-spoken, but decent and generous, and she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she didn't look like a princess, but like a lady from a Jiangnan family.

The closest to the ninth princess is the twelve-year-old seventh princess, the seventh princess's biological mother Wang was originally a palace person, and her mother's family was born in a small business. I don't know if the Wang family is fortunate or unlucky, Emperor Jing really wanted her after being drunk once, although she was only favored once, and she was pregnant, but after Emperor Jing asked her once, she seemed to forget this person, even if she gave birth to the seventh princess later, she was still just a beauty, and she didn't have the slightest favor, so the seventh princess has always been a little timid and cowardly in this palace, and she is silent.

The ninth princess is the same age as the fifth princess and the seventh princess, but the fifth princess is rude and domineering, and the relationship between the two and her is average, and the seventh princess is a little afraid of the fifth princess, and the relationship between the ninth princess and the seventh princess is better.

An Jin had already asked Cai Qing to give her a rough layout of the palace and studied the geographical location of Rongxiu Palace. The main hall of Rongxiu Palace was empty, Wen Zhaoyi and the nine princesses lived in the east hall, and the west hall lived in several childless low-level concubines. After taking a serious look at the layout of the backyard, An Jin began to think about what gift to give to the ninth princess.

In the past, sisters and cousins gave gifts, mostly to give some embroidery, this Anjin skills are too poor, so never send this, she usually paints a small portrait to frame delicately to give away, or make a bookmark, engrave a seal, draw a lantern, screen or something.

The gift of the ninth princess, can't be too casual, she originally thought about whether to use a homemade paint pen to paint a big real figure or something, but together this idea was immediately vetoed, one is too time-consuming, and the other is in case others like it, all of them look for her to paint, wouldn't she have to be tired to death, everyone in this palace is older than her, she doesn't have to do anything else, just be a full-time painter.

She asked Biluo to find a few boxes of uninlaid jewelry raw materials from her small warehouse, some she brought from home, and some that Xiao Ye gave her last time, looked through it carefully, and drew a small crown picture of pearls with a charcoal brush, personally picked out pearls of different sizes with the box and divided them into categories, and went to the palace craftsman to help her create a headdress similar to a comb, which actually imitated the small crown and gave it to the ninth princess.

Cai Qing is very efficient, because An Jin said not to alarm others, it is best to keep it secret, so he found an acquaintance of the decoration department of the Shangfu Bureau, and found a palace craftsman to create An Jin's headdress in the name of the concubine Niangniang. He also specially led the person who led the division to discuss the details of each design, materials, etc.

An Jin seemed to have found a new fun, she thought that her second sister Ruan Antan was going to get married at the end of the year, and she was going to give her a makeup gift, so she came to the energy, in addition to practicing the basic skills of light skills every day, and then accompanied Ruan Anzheng and the concubine to knock her teeth, and then pondered the design of jewelry. also Cai Qing found some jewelry in the palace and all kinds of illustrated books for her to see.

Ruan Anzhen once looked at the drawings on the table in her study, and looked at the drawings she drawn, and also thought it was strange and interesting, she herself had already prepared a makeup gift for Ruan Antan, and when she saw An Jin's picture, she specially asked someone to take the jewelry from home, and discussed with An Jin to transform it together.

In this way, the days passed quickly, Anjin received the finished product of the small comb bead crown three days before the birthday banquet, the whole bead crown only has seven large pearls, holding up the inlay circle, the pearl in the middle has the size of a lotus seed, the two sides of the decreasing order, the base is a streamlined flower string design, which is inlaid with small pearls with thin pattern patterns, which looks chic and not exaggerated, Anjin is very satisfied, so he put the jewelry that was later designed to add makeup to Ruan Antan and put it together with Caiqing and sent it over to make zuò.

The birthday banquet of the ninth princess is in the afternoon, presumably in the morning, the ninth princess needs to be rewarded in the palace, and she has to kowtow to the emperor's palace lords to thank her, so she will have a small banquet with sisters of the same age and friends in the afternoon. The small banquet was not big, only a few unmarried princesses in the palace, An Jin, and a few clan lords and county lords who played well with the nine princesses, as well as companions from Xunguige's hometown, and even Ruan Anzheng was not invited because of his overage.

I heard that the queen also wanted to do a good job for the ninth princess, but the ninth princess said that there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River this summer, and the people were severely affected and displaced. The queen was very moved when she heard this, so she also relied on her.

After finishing lunch that day, Anjin took a nap for a while, and then changed into a lotus lotus color with a light purple Hangzhou thick high-waisted dark flower skirt, and the head was still simply sparse with two small buns, and a small light purple bead flower was inserted on both sides, and the uranium was pasted, simple and elegant, and generous, presumably it must be inconspicuous among a group of princess county lords, she looked in the mirror and felt very satisfied, so she ordered the silver needle to hold the gift box, and took the green and blue snails to go to Wen Zhaoyi's Rongxiu Palace together.

The ninth princess was very happy to see An Jin, and personally welcomed her to her courtyard, and said, "It's almost all here, just you're the slowest, even the sisters outside the palace have already arrived." As he spoke, he pursed his lips and smiled, "But I also like your temperament the most, you do things in a hurry, but sometimes it's slow, it's really cute." An Jin laughed twice, it doesn't seem to be a good word, what does it have to do with cuteness?

An Jin said that she was going to the main hall of the east hall to ask Zhaoyi Niangniang for peace, and the ninth princess smiled and said: "No need, my mother and concubine have already told me that the sisters are playing in my yard, so there is no need to go to her, saying that it is not to disturb our interest." ”

An Jin estimated that Wen Zhaoyi might also have familiar concubines, so she no longer insisted, and followed the ninth princess to her courtyard, and when she arrived in the hall, she saw that there were already more than a dozen little girls from □□ to twelve or thirteen years old, except for a few princesses, a few of them were also a little familiar, they should have seen it a few times before, but most of them were unknown, and the most familiar of them were Jiang Liu, the big county lord of the Second Prince's Mansion, and Jiang Xuan, the small county lord of the Third Prince's Mansion, although Ruan Anzheng had already rejected the Third Prince's Concubine when he spoke, But the third princess later led Jiang Xuan to Qingyou Palace several times.

The ninth princess is not very old, but she is quite thoughtful and generous, she beckoned everyone to introduce each other, An Jin heard a string of titles and titles of the family, and only remembered a rough idea, several princesses and Jiang Liu, Jiang Xuan, wearing a smoke Luo purple gauze skirt goose egg face and slender figure is the Shuhe county lord of the An Wangfu family, the sweet girl wearing a pink skirt with a pink high-waisted skirt is the Shu'an county lord of the Chengjun Wangfu family, and the two sisters of the Wenjun Wangfu family who look more gentle and obedient Shuhui County Lord, Shuzhen County Lord, The two daughters of the high-spirited Baoning Hou Guo family, one is Guo Yao of the long house, the other is Guo Jia, the county lord of Shuwan from Princess Zhaoyang, and the rest are the daughters of some Xunguige's hometown and so on.

After everyone introduced, An Jin gave her gifts for the nine princesses, the little girls have always liked to be fresh and lively, and the birthday gifts will be opened in public to enjoy and play with everyone. Sure enough, the ninth princess opened the gift box in the expectant and curious eyes of everyone, and when she saw the delicate little pearl crown, the eyes of the nine princesses lit up, and everyone else was curious to come up, and they praised and praised the chic little pearl crown. They are all top noblewomen, they see a lot of valuable jewelry on weekdays, but most of them are hairpins and shake Huasheng, they are young and not yet in time, they can bring a limited amount, but they like gorgeous and chic jewelry, and they naturally love it when they see novel and chic.

The county lord of Shu'an, the prince of Chengjun's mansion, suddenly interjected with a smile: "This style has never been seen in Beijing, and this pearl is moist and heavy, implying a streamer, and it looks like an overseas thing." I heard that Lingnan Wang Shizi gave Miss Ruan Qi a large amount of jewelry, could this be one of them? ”

As soon as her voice fell, the laughter of the girls in the hall fell silent, and the sensitive faces changed, and they secretly looked at the fifth princess whose face had turned dark, and they were silent.

An Jin took a closer look at the county lord of Shu'an, the twelfth or thirteen-year-old county lord of Shu'an had a melon seed face, watery eyebrows, crescent moon eyes, sweet and lovely appearance, and was a beautiful embryo, at this time he was looking at An Jin with his eyes open and smiling, as if he really just asked a question, and was curiously waiting for the answer.
