Chapter 233: Performance
Shuyi and Zhou Ying knew that Mingzhu was back, so they made an appointment early, and now the two are not very close, but they will smile when they meet together, some things are not up to them, too close will make trouble for each other, too far away will make the emperor feel that they have no brotherhood, now it is okay to be not far away.
"Mingzhu, you're finally back, I was still talking about when you will enter the palace, and what about my gifts?" Shuyi rushed over happily when she entered the door, her eyes full of joy.
Zhou Ying also pulled her to laugh, it was rare to see Shuyi so happy, this was the first time she showed such a cheerful smile since she returned to the palace from outside.
"Yes, yes, I brought gifts for each of you. Let me see if you've become pretty? Yo! I've lost some weight, but I'm not bad. Mingzhu hugged Shuyi's face and kissed it mischievously, which made Shuyi blush.
These words were very intimate, so that Shuyi's eyes almost reddened, goodbye Mingzhu, she finally understood why the emperor's grandmother and father liked her, no matter whether their group of people were in trouble or proud, Mingzhu was at most wise to protect herself, but she would not fall into the ground.
"Well, I'm fine. Are you still in class when you're back? Shuyi smiled and nodded, the light in her eyes was bright and charming.
"No, I will stay at home for a few more days, occasionally go to the palace to live, and the time is not too far away, I want to spend more time with my grandmother and my mother." Mingzhu had already told the Queen Mother when she came back.
The queen mother also agreed, thinking that this is very good, on the one hand, Mingzhu also needs to cultivate affection with her family, on the other hand, the princes are really old and need to be avoided, and in two or three years, the prince can enter the court on an errand, and he is an adult.
At this time, it is somewhat misleading for the girl surnamed to continue to stay in the palace, when the child was cute, the queen mother took it in to live, but it was not good when she was older.
Shuyi was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and nodded happily, "Then can I go out and play with you?" ”
"Yes, you're welcome. I'm actually bored at home, and I'm glad you're here. Mingzhu immediately nodded happily.
"I'm going too." Zhou Ying came over and pouted pitifully.
"You'll let you go." Mingzhu patted her face and smiled.
Zhou Ying slapped her hand away in annoyance, "Don't touch my face with your dirty hands." Is! He scolded but smiled in his eyes.
The third prince, Zhou Yan, the seventh prince, Zhou Qi, and the fourth prince, Zhou Yi, also followed.
"Yo! Sister Mingzhu hasn't seen her for three years, but she's changed a lot, big girl! Zhou Yan looked Mingzhu up and down, and a cluster of flames flickered slightly in his eyes.
The Seventh Prince also smiled and nodded, "But no, the pearl is getting more and more beautiful." ”
"Why is everyone crammed here? Mingzhu begged for a cup of tea and drank it, and was thirsty all the way. But the four princes shouted for someone to serve.
"Okay, the tea I brought back from Jiangnan, you can also try it, the latest new tea." Mingzhu smiled and turned into the house.
Everyone saluted the Empress Dowager and said goodbye, and everyone was in a happy scene, and they couldn't see any grudges between the brothers at all, like a brother born from a mother.
The technique of the pearl flowing water is like the most beautiful dance at the fingertips, making a pot of new tea in Jiangnan for everyone, and there is only a subtle sound of running water in the room. And the curling sandalwood makes people feel a little calm and peaceful.
The emperor nodded slightly, "Mingzhu's tea is the most flavorful, and even the tea is more fragrant." ”
"Yes, Mingzhu is not light to make us tea, by the way, she has collected a lot of good things, don't forget to ask her." The four princes chuckled lightly and naughtily revealed the old bottom of the pearl.
Mingzhu smiled, "You don't have it?" You are never slow to start with good things. ”
This is the one who makes a fortune in silence. There is never a shortage of good ones, but he rarely does things that show his face.
The four princes bowed their heads and drank tea, neither refuting nor responding.
The third prince glanced at the fourth brother, and a wave of jealousy surged in his heart. After calculating for so long, he let him pick up the leak, but after three years of walking, he became more and more favored by his father, and even after his mother returned to the palace, he was also in the spotlight, and his father rested in the palace of the concubine for a few days, quite reluctant.
This was absolutely nothing before, and no one dared to be the first when it came to pampering her mother. But now Concubine Shu seems to have become a big trouble.
The Seventh Prince lowered his head and his face was gloomy, and he glanced at Shuyi, but Shuyi turned her head and pretended not to see it, and laughed with Zhou Ying, which made the Seven Princes' angry eyes even more gloomy.
The atmosphere of the family banquet was particularly warm, but Mingzhu said very little, occasionally with a sentence or two, I always felt that the emperor's purpose of calling herself into the palace was not simple, and now that she is a year older, she always feels that it is not appropriate to continue to participate in the family banquet of the Zhou family.
"Mingzhu Ming'er is going to class, I happen to be with Shuyi." The Seventh Prince smiled and spoke, with a bit of affirmation in his words.
"No, I don't go to the study anymore, I will accompany the Queen Mother to go home in two days, I miss my family for three years away, and I want to spend more time with my grandmother and my mother." Mingzhu responded with a light smile.
"But class still has to be taken." The Seven Princes insisted on this.
Shuyi interjected: "Mingzhu has always been smart, and when she went to the study, the person her master admired the most was her, and Wenxuan Pavilion was a place she frequented. Girls don't have to be talented women, right? What's the point of selling fame and reputation, I think Mingzhu is very good now, my daughter's family has limited days at home, or I should spend more time with my elders and relatives. She was reluctant to follow her brother's words, and for the first time publicly refuted his words.
The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment, with a look of injury in his eyes, and raised his eyes to the emperor, but saw that there was no wave in the emperor's eyes.
He chuckled in his heart, touching his nose didn't mean anything.
When the third prince saw it, he just snorted coldly in his nose, and the contempt in his eyes was very strong.
The Queen Mother ate silently, taking in all the expressions of her grandchildren, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a meaningful smile.
After dinner, Mingzhu and the Queen Mother arched together, and the two grandparents whispered.
"What do you mean by saying that the emperor specially called me back today?" Mingzhu couldn't touch the emperor's pulse a little, and suddenly called me back coldly, just for a meal?
"Hehehe! You don't have to pay attention to these, Brother Li will be back in a few days, and the concubine said that she would let King Rong ask for a decree, and she is more anxious than us. The Queen Mother patted the pearl soothingly.
"Well, how are you doing these two days? The queen didn't give you any anger, did she? Mingzhu was worried that the queen would be angry with the old lady, after all, the old lady was old.
"No, the emperor is very filial these days, and he has reached the point of ignoring the queen, but it's still okay to treat the seventh." The queen mother didn't understand what the emperor was going to do, and she didn't care about the queen and didn't abolish the queen, but she looked good to the children, and she couldn't see which one was more partial.
"Well, I look at the third child who is a little anxious." Mingzhu also saw some signs.
"He's still young, it's human nature that he can't be stable, if he is too stable the emperor, he should be in a hurry." The Queen Mother chuckled. (To be continued.) )
