In the early morning of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Jiang Ruoning bathed and changed clothes, wearing a plain silk in the middle, covered with a green and blue lotus smoke brocade palace dress, a lotus leaf-like skirt swaying to the ground, like a cold blue smoke wave on the opening of thousands of white lotus blooming waist tie green tassel fine gentry belt, embellished with carved jade and phoenix pattern blue brown ring, cuffs, clothes embroidered with phoenix feathers that can only be enjoyed by the nobles of the heavenly family, painted gold repainted, beautiful.

Jiang Ruoning looked at himself in the mirror, he was Yongrong and luxurious, beautiful and unparalleled, only wearing light makeup, but he also had a kind of peerless beauty.

"Pony, where is Miss Wen Xue, have you gotten up?"

Xiao Ma hunched his waist, helped Jiang Ruoning arrange his dress, and said with admiration: "The princess is so beautiful today!" After a pause, he straightened the hem of his skirt and said, "Second Miss Wen Xue and Er Cui didn't rest until nearly four watches last night. Miss Wen is in a hurry to finish the books before the Chinese New Year, and the essence of several excerpts is a lot bigger, how many words do you have to write? ”

There are so many books, even if you read them once, you don't have to read them overnight, not to mention the essentials.

Jiang Ruoning looked at the sky, "They said earlier that they were going to Zhenbei Wangfu to attend the family recognition banquet, you go and urge." Cuinong and Cuina have been tired recently, so they will go out of the palace today and take the palace next to them. ”

Even if it's a workaholic, it's not as desperate as a few of them.

This Xiao Deng is the most troublesome, he went to Shuhuazhai to inquire about the news when he had nothing to do, and when he heard the situation over there, several people didn't dare to slack off, and they could fight better than Jiang Ruoning. Even Xue Yulan was solemn, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Jiang Ruoning said: "You sue them, let them not worry, and let them go home to celebrate the New Year with their families today." The courtiers are on annual leave, and the princess can't pull them in the palace and not go home for the New Year, which is too unreasonable. The borrowed books were allowed to be taken out by them, and they remembered that they were returned to the Hanlin Temple. ”

Wen Lingshu was still asleep, and when she heard the pony's call, she opened her eyes alertly.

Xue Yulan reacted faster than her, patted her head and said, "We seem to have forgotten to go to the Zhenbei Mansion to attend the banquet......"

Zhizhi smiled: "Miss, yesterday evening, the Needlework Bureau sent you and Miss Xue's new clothes. The princess rewarded the two needles and embroiderers of the Needlework Bureau. ”

Wen Lingshu said with annoyance: "Magnolia." I really don't want to go, we haven't finished our errands yet, so let's go play, which doesn't seem appropriate. ”

Jiang Ruoning sat in the main hall and waited. But I saw Zhizhi going back and forth: "Princess, Miss Wen and my young lady said that the mission at hand has not been completed, and they can't go." ”

Jiang Ruoning shouted loudly: "Two nerds! She carried her skirt into the west side hall, "You two hurry up." changed into new clothes and left the palace with me. Which of your fathers or brothers is not a talent, and you two are so stupid that you really rely on yourself? Don't know how to find someone to help? ”

Wen Lingshu said very seriously: "This can't be done!" Everyone in the world says that the daughter's family can't do anything, and if the courtiers ask their father and brother for help, even if they win the ninth princess, they won't be convinced......"

Xue Yulan echoed: "That's exactly the reason. I believe in Ling Shu's literary brilliance, and I also believe in the princess's ability. We will not go home for the New Year this year, but we will definitely do a good job of this mission. ”

Jiang Ruoning was dripping with sweat.

Why not?

On Shuhuazhai's side, the thirteenth princess ordered that the four accompanying ladies were not doing a good job and that they were not allowed to go home for the New Year. Once the escort lady enters the palace, she will be an escort. It is also common not to be allowed to go home once in a few years, and it is reasonable not to go home for the holidays.

Concubine Xian treats people generously, and the four accompanying ladies are all from the capital, and they can't go home to visit their families at ordinary times, and they can only go home during the New Year's Festival. But this year, because Princess Yuluan and Princess Xueluan took over an errand and wanted to contribute to the court wholeheartedly, they wanted to draw up a charter, and even they couldn't go back, and they heard the news one by one. Immediately like a frosted eggplant.

At this moment, Jiang Ruoning crossed his waist with one hand: "If you dare not go to the banquet today, this princess will drive you home and not let you do an errand!" ”

Wen Lingshu was stunned.

Xue Yulan didn't know what to do.

Jiang Ruoning shouted: "Now, go and freshen up immediately." If you leave the palace after two quarters of an hour, if you dare not go, I will rush who first? Turning back and letting people know that you don't obey the orders of this princess, your face is not good-looking. ”

Xue Yulan looked timid, and she retired.

Jiang Ruoning paced back and forth with his head held high, and exhaled. There was still some time for her to try one more finger meditation and "Hoha! "With a finger with her hand, there is no half reaction, it seems that her qi condensation technique has not succeeded, and she has not made any progress at all after refining for a long time. But as long as you persevere, you will always achieve something.

Mama Bi looked at Jiang Ruoning with doubts, in recent days, the princess has always pointed with her hand and made a "hoha" sound in her mouth, what is wrong with her?

Mama Bi looked at the pony puzzled.

The pony shook his head.

The princess not only stretches out her fingers, but also does not sleep at night, but loves to sit on the couch and sit down, and her spirit is even better than before, as if she has not slept all night. In the past, she was allowed to be on duty at night, but now she does not allow the two of them to be on duty at night, she makes the bed at dusk, and then sits cross-legged on the brocade, and sits all night.

She also practiced calligraphy and painting every day, and occasionally when she was in a good mood, she would hold the pipa and play two songs.

Xue Yulan and Wen Lingshu were dressed up, and neither of them was happy.

Jiang Ruoning said angrily: "Look, as soon as the banquet is over, it is impossible to rush to continue to do this kind of thing after returning to the palace." ”

Jiang Ruoning pulled Wen Lingshu and Xue Yulan into the carriage, and only brought Cui Qian, Xiao Ma and Bi Mama, Cui Nong, Zhi Zhi, and Cicada Yu to stay and continue to check books.

*

Zhenbei Palace.

Jiang Ruoning entered from the side door, and large households like this are equipped with corridors, and carriages and sedan chairs can enter directly. The road of the palace in the north of the town is in the form of a 30-degree slope.

Before Jiang Ruoning got out of the car, he heard a crisp and familiar voice.

"Sister Nine Emperors, it's Sister Aihuang who is here, haha...... You also said that they did not necessarily come, that there were not enough people, and that they did not want to go to the feast. It was the thirteenth princess Xue Luan who spoke, and when she saw Jiang Ruoning and the three of them, her eyes were bright. They came out and designated no one to work anymore, and their sisters would win whatever they said this time.

Yuluan greeted him, called "Sister Aihuang", pursed her lips and smiled: "I thought you wouldn't come?" ”

"Since I received the post, how can I miss the appointment."

On the second door, there stood the princess of Zhenbei Wangfu and the second grandmother Yang Jinxin in gorgeous clothes, and on one side stood Wen Lingxuan's wife Feng.

Yang smiled: "A few princesses are distinguished guests, hurry!" Inside please! ”

Feng Shifu came, "Princess Fengwu, Princess Jinluan, and Princess Yinluan also arrived just now, and even the county lord of Mingshan and the county lord of Mingyue also came......

Xue Luan was a little surprised, "Why is the Sixth Emperor Sister here?" ”

Jin Luan is about to leave the cabinet, and it is time to recuperate in the deep palace and not participate in any banquets. Today, he was dressed in a costume, sitting dignified and quietly in the center of the flower hall, enjoying the courtship of the nobles of the capital.

Jiang Ruoning and his entourage of five people passed through the moon cave gate, and in the back garden, several plum blossoms were blooming brightly, with light yellow plum blossoms, red plum blossoms, and rare white plums, and a plum tree with five-color plum blossoms: yellow, white, yellow, purple, and pink, which was really rare.

She immediately covered her nose with a handkerchief, but she couldn't smell the fragrance of flowers, and she would be allergic if she couldn't get it.

However......

It doesn't seem to be a seizure.

Isn't it possible to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms?

Jiang Ruoning was puzzled, tried to remove the veil, sniffed it, sniffed it again, and didn't sneeze like before, wasn't it poisoned earlier, and even this floral allergy was cured?

Cui Qian approached and looked at Jiang Ruoning worriedly, when the white jade-like fist was deployed, it was still a box of peppermint oil, "Princess ......"

When she went out today, Mama Bi told her to take good care of the princess. The people of Zhenbei Wangfu didn't expect that the princess couldn't smell the fragrance of flowers, and then with the temperament of Princess Fengge, she couldn't let people not put flowers because she was alone.

Jiang Ruoning said in a low voice: "I seem to be able to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, you see, it's been a while, and I haven't sneezed." ”

The sneeze is like a warning, once she starts to fight, she will have a seizure, but if she doesn't hit it today, she can smell it.

Jiang Ruoning was in a good mood, and he was also appreciating the plum blossoms like everyone else, and the whole Zhenbei Wangfu was dyed with the fragrance of flowers.

Legend has it that the Empress Dowager Wen is a person who loves to raise flowers when she is in the boudoir, she can raise the best six bachelors, and can also raise the "four seasons picturesque", Zhenbei Wangfu was the residence where the Empress Dowager Wen lived, and there are some flowers and trees she raised and planted in the house. No matter which season it is, as long as the Zhenbei Wangfu holds a banquet, this back garden is a rare place to visit and enjoy.

A high-pitched "Princess Fengge has arrived!" Princess Yuluan has arrived! Princess Xueluan has arrived! ”

In front of a courtyard in the back garden, there are girls standing out, with goose wings lined up, wearing a uniform pink gown and green skirt, wearing a uniform blue and black satin winter shoes on their feet, embroidered with different patterns, some embroidered with tangled branch flowers, some embroidered with plum blossoms, and some embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns.

"Welcome to the three princesses!"

This courtyard used to be the second courtyard where Wen Lingyi's father and daughter lived, at that time, Jiang Ruoning was still an ordinary female catcher, and she also played the role of Bao's "mother", at that time, she had been here several times.

Nowadays, it is used as a courtyard for entertaining female guests, and it is cold in winter, so it is impossible to hold banquets outdoors, so it was chosen here. Once the eldest son of the Wen family lived, it has become a guest house today.

The flower hall was full of people.

When Jiang Ruoning came in, his eyes swept away, he had seen it at the Song family's family banquet for several years, and he looked at the good face.

In the side hall, there was a woman's coquettish laughter.

"Listen to Princess Fengwu's mouth, this whole Dayan, there is no woman's mouth that can speak better than her." The owner of this voice is none other than Concubine Gu of King Min's Mansion.

Xie Wanjun echoed: "Isn't it exactly, Princess Fengwu looks like a beautiful country, can sing and dance, the queen mother celebrated her birthday, and the "Ni Dress Dance" is still fresh in people's memories. ”

Feng Wu was praised by the two, and raised her chin more and more, and said unhurriedly: "I heard that Zining is good at painting beauties, Aunt Xie Huang, go back and ask him to help Princess Ben paint a picture." Although the horse's drawing skills are good, they are worse in the end. (To be continued.) )
