Chapter 84: The Eldest Princess of Cao Qu
The second day was Lu Binqi's rest day, he dealt with some things in the morning, and in the afternoon, he ordered people to bring the prepared gifts, as well as the most important Mr. Yunchuan's authentic fan noodles, and set off to the mansion of the eldest princess of Caoqu.
The eldest princess of Cao Qu is not a person who likes to travel, so her mansion has not held a banquet.
But all over the capital knows, the scenery of the palace of the eldest princess of Caoqu is particularly beautiful, this house is the palace of the prince who rebelled during the first emperor period when he was in the capital, the prince was rich and the world was in power, and his palace was naturally extremely luxurious.
This is the first time Binqi has come to the mansion of the eldest princess of Cao Qu, and along the way, the palace and pavilion are indeed beautiful. However, he has something on his mind, so naturally he will not be greedy for scenery, so he does not feel as amazing as the legend.
He handed over the greeting post in advance, and the eldest princess, dressed in a big red palace dress, sat gorgeously in the main hall to receive him.
After the two sides saw the ceremony, Lu Binqi handed over the framed folding fan in the fan box with both hands, and said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the sister promised to give the county lord a fan with Mr. Yuanchuan inscription, but the sister was slightly ill and inconvenient to go out, so I specially asked the minister to send it today." ”
The eldest princess took it herself, put it on the table aside, and said, "Then I thank Sister Ling for the little girl." Miss Lu was injured to save her little girl, and it was rude for me, as a mother, not to visit the house in person. ”
Lu Binqi said: "Your Highness is serious, her sister is a maiden, and she is a junior, how can she work for His Highness's daughter." And the sister's injury is not severe, and most of the cultivation has been recovered, so His Royal Highness does not need to worry. ”
The eldest princess bowed slightly, obviously very satisfied with Lu Binqi's response. The two talked back and forth a few more words, Lu Binqi intentionally or unintentionally mentioned this folding fan, which aroused the interest of the eldest princess, and he revealed a little bit of news, and sure enough, the eldest princess couldn't sit still and asked what was going on.
Lu Binqi made an unspeakable look, and the eldest princess said: "Captain Lu, you just say it, listen to what you mean, this matter is about the little girl, and I, as a mother, have the right to know the details of the matter." ”
Binqi sighed, made a helpless look, and explained to her. Of course, intentionally or unintentionally, he brought his meaning to the direction that Lu Binrou was deeply implicated.
After he finished speaking, the eldest princess sneered and said, "I thought there was something big, it turned out to be such a trivial matter, and it was also a shame that he was a father and put on such a posture to ground Ah Tian?" But Ah Tian really eats that set. I said, why hasn't she been out of the yard for half a month......"
She looked at Lu Binqi and said, "Captain Lu, the princess knows about the heart of the fist that my sister is protecting the little girl." You can rest assured, there will never be any rumors about Sister Ling outside, if anyone dares to chew her tongue, it will be against my eldest princess's mansion. ”
Lu Binqi came here today for her promise, smiled when he heard this, hugged his fists and said, "Then thank Your Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
The two said a few more words, and Lu Binqi took his leave.
The eldest princess looked at his departing figure through the door, smiled faintly, and said to herself: "This kid from the Lu family looks honest on weekdays, but he is actually a little fox......
After sighing, remembering what Lu Binqi said just now, the eldest princess's beautiful long eyebrows raised, and she sneered: "Ning Xuanyu, a coward, doesn't dare to take revenge when he is angry outside, he will only come back and vent it to his family." I am pregnant with a daughter who worked hard to give birth in October, why should you be idle? ”
She got up and ordered: "Prepare the car, go to the Ninghou Mansion!" ”
The eldest princess took a group of entourages to Xuanwu Street, and the carriage drove into Ning Lane and stopped in front of the Mansion of the Marquis of Ning. The maid brought the flute and helped the princess to get out of the car. An attendant had already gone to knock on the door, and the sun was shining so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes.
The eldest princess of Cao Qu squinted at the gate of the Marquis of Zhining's mansion, she probably hadn't been here for nearly ten years, the last time she came, it was when Ah Tian was very young......
With a squeak, the heavy gate of the Hou Mansion opened from the inside, and it was still the janitor who came out last time when the county lord of Pingyang brought Lu Binrou to come. When he saw this group of people, he was obviously shocked, because the astonishment on his face was obvious, and he was stunned and motionless for several breaths.
Then he reacted, this time he was more excited than the last time he saw the county lord of Pingyang, he knelt down with a thud, and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, ...... you You're back? It's great, it's great, the slave will call someone to tell the Hou Ye to ......"
The eldest princess had already taken the first step at this time, and seeing his excited appearance, the cold and hard expression on her face softened slightly, and she said, "He Si, after so many years, you have been still here in the porter?" ”
He Si said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the slave has been on an errand in the gatehouse of the Hou Mansion for several generations, and the slave is dull, and he can't do anything else, so he can only faithfully guard the gate......"
The eldest princess had already walked to his side at this time, stopped, and a very soft voice floated into his ears: "I still remember that twenty years ago, when I first came to this Ninghou Mansion, you were in the gatehouse at that time, and you gave me a handful of mulberries and ......"
He Si was a little in a trance, and with the voice of the eldest princess, he seemed to see that twenty years ago, a **-year-old girl stood alone in front of the gate, and she had to enter the Ninghou Mansion.
The people in the porter stopped her, although they didn't know her, but seeing that she was young and richly dressed, she didn't have a single retinue, and they couldn't figure out where she came from, so they had to take her into the porter and let her wait for a while.
He had just taken his father's class at that time, and he had been on duty in the concierge for less than a month. No one else talked to this little girl who didn't know where to come, for fear that if something happened, he was young and fearless, and seeing that she was about the same age as his own sister, he sat down in front of her and chatted with her.
The little girl began to tilt her little face slightly, and her face was domineering, and she didn't even look at him. Later, when I heard what he said interestingly, I slowly sounded it, but after a while, I began to ask him questions, such as, "You said that the larvae that were noisy in the summer can be eaten?" Is it delicious? Something like that.
Later, he brought over a bowl of mulberries brought by his wife at noon, and the little girl had never eaten this, so she began to frown and carefully put it in her mouth, and she couldn't stop eating it, and said happily: "It's so sweet, it's so delicious", and she sent it to her mouth one by one as she spoke.
The mulberry was ripe, purple and black, and the color was so rich that it was about to drip down, so that the juice stained the little girl's lips and fingers purple-black. He also ate along, and the two looked at each other, both clutching their stomachs with laughter......
Later, the old lady of the Hou Mansion came with the little prince in person, and he knew that the little girl in front of him who ate mulberries with a black mouthful turned out to be the emperor's own sister-in-law, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Cao Qu in the current dynasty, the real golden branches and jade leaves.
He Si came back to his senses, the eldest princess had entered the door at this time, the long palace clothes dragged out of the arc, and the left and right sides hugged her, although they were slaves like clouds, they all held their breath and looked solemn. He was a little skeptical, was that extremely light sentence just now said by His Highness, or was it a conjugation in his mind? (To be continued.) )
