Chapter 21: The Eldest Princess (2)
"Seventh Miss, Eighth Miss, the Eldest Princess's Mansion has arrived." The carriage stopped at the eldest princess's mansion, and the voice of the coachman was heard outside the carriage.
Yan Xiruo followed Yan Xiyao out of the carriage, looked up at the very magnificent Eldest Princess's Mansion in front of her, tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something?
"Let's go, Xiruo, what do you want?" Yan Xiyao took Yan Xiruo's hand and asked her puzzledly: "I found that you have been in a daze lately, what are you thinking?" ”
"Nothing?" Yan Xiruo shook his head, quickly cleaned up his mood, and said with a smile: "I've always heard everyone talk about how respected the eldest princess is, and I thought that I would definitely meet each other in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that I was going to see it soon, and I was a little nervous." ”
"What are you nervous about, the eldest princess is very good, but don't say it, the eldest princess is really respectable, even the emperor has to let the eldest princess have a little face." Yan Xiyao's eyes were full of admiration, for Yan Xiyao, the eldest princess was like her role model, the person she always wanted to be.
Yan Xiruo glanced at Yan Xiyao, shook her head with a smile, and walked in with Mrs. Yan and the other two sisters who had just arrived at her side.
"Old Madam Yan has arrived." In the housekeeper's loud announcement, Yan Xiruo followed Mrs. Yan and slowly approached the hall, and the hall was already full of people at this moment.
Everyone instantly stopped talking as if they had a tacit understanding and turned their heads to look at them.
In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Yan took her granddaughter and walked forward step by step, until a woman came to her.
"Old Madam Yan, you're here." The person who came was dressed in a festive red dress, with exquisite makeup, and graceful and luxurious, and a face that was even more well-maintained, if he hadn't known in advance that the eldest princess was already in her fifties, some people would have thought that she was only in her early forties at this moment.
"The old body has seen the eldest princess."
"Old lady, what are you doing here, you are still so polite to me." The eldest princess stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Yan, only to find that she was followed by four girls, who were bending down and saluting at the moment.
"Flat, don't be formal, when you come to me, it's the same as at home, not so much exquisite." The eldest princess asked the subordinates on the side to support Mrs. Yan, and then looked at the four sisters of the Yan family with a smile.
While watching, he nodded with satisfaction: "The fourth girl and the sixth girl are here, you haven't come to see the palace for a long time." The eldest princess walked up to Yan Zixi and Yan Ziyan and said with a smile.
Yan Zixi bent down slightly, made a salute, spoke softly, and spoke quietly, which was very beautiful for everyone: "Zixi has seen the eldest princess, I wish the eldest princess happiness like the East China Sea." ”
"Okay, you girl has a heart." patted Yan Zixi's hand and pulled her up.
Yan Ziyan looked at it, and greeted her with a smile: "Ziyan has seen the eldest princess, I wish the eldest princess to get older and more beautiful." ”
"You girl, you're really sweet." The eldest princess tapped her on the head, but not very hard.
Turning her head, the eldest princess turned to Yan Xiruo and Yan Xiyao, looked at them, and smiled for a long time: "Presumably you are the seventh girl and the eighth girl, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are really getting more and more smart." The eldest princess looked at Yan Xiyao as she spoke: "You are the eighth girl, you are really getting more and more beautiful." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Xi Yao is here to wish the eldest princess all her wishes come true, what do you want?"
"You girl, this naughty personality hasn't changed much."
After turning around, the eldest princess finally stopped in front of Yan Xiruo, looked at her, and lost her mind for a moment: "You are the seventh girl, Yan Xiruo?" ”
"I'm Yan Xiruo, I've seen the eldest princess." Yan Xiruo bent down slightly and did not say anything flattering.
The eldest princess stretched out her hand to hold her, and then looked at her carefully: "You and your mother are really like, when I see you, I seem to see your mother." You girl, you haven't been back for ten years, and now it seems that the change is really big, the naughty girl who used to be so naughty has now become gentle. ”
"I used to be young and ignorant, and I always let my family worry about me." Yan Xiruo let the eldest princess pull it, and the smile on her face was gentle.
The eldest princess in front of her, Yan Xiruo is too familiar, and now the emperor can sit on the dragon chair, and half of the credit is due to the eldest princess in front of him.
The eldest princess is the sister of the emperor today, and the most beloved daughter of the previous emperor, when the court changed greatly, the old emperor was seriously ill, the king of Qi rebelled, and approached the palace, the prince at that time, that is, the current emperor was only thirty and standing, and there were not many military powers in his hands, compared with the king of Qi who held a million troops at that time, it can be said that it was an egg hitting a stone, and the king of Qi at that time led almost all the troops to the capital, at that time everyone thought that the king of Qi would take the throne of the prince, but did not want to, The eldest princess took 100,000 forbidden troops to defend the last line of defense in the capital, and insisted on waiting for the rescue soldiers brought by General Yan.
That battle was very tragic, almost all the 100,000 forbidden troops who defended the capital with the eldest princess were killed, and the crown prince and the eldest princess were also covered with scars.
Back then, in order to protect the crown prince, the eldest princess blocked the arrows with her body, blocking the deadliest sword for the current emperor of Daliang, and her body also fell ill.
Because of this, the emperor loved his sister very much, and would discuss everything with her.
Back then, when Yan Xiruo married that man, he also tried to persuade the eldest princess to support her husband's usurpation, but he didn't succeed after all.
Yan Xiruo remembered that when that man ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to destroy the eldest princess's mansion, and the crime was: assassinating the king.
The last time Yan Xi saw the eldest princess in her previous life, it was on the execution ground, and even at that time, she still had a resolute gaze, laughing wildly and cursing herself for not dying well.
I have to say that she finally responded to her words and failed to get a good ending.
Being able to see her again at this moment, Yan Xi feels a little lucky, fortunately you are still alive now, so that she can reduce some of her sins, then please keep being so good.
"Seven girls, what are you thinking?" The eldest princess patted Yan Xiruo's hand and pulled her distant thoughts back.
"It's nothing, I just feel that the eldest princess has the smell of a mother, and suddenly I remembered my mother, even if I have never seen it, but I think that my mother must be a great person like the eldest princess." Yan Xiruo's words came from the heart, and the person in front of her really made her feel the warmth of her mother.
"Alas, you kid, it's also distressing, you, if you don't suggest it, you will go to the palace more often in the future, and come to accompany the palace, it's good." The eldest princess felt very good about the girl in front of her, as if they should get along like this in the dark.
"May I?" Yan Xiruo asked carefully, is she okay, she once killed her indirectly, can she still be redeemed?
"Of course you can, it just so happens that this palace also likes you, this palace enjoys glory and wealth all his life, fame and fortune, but he is alone, staying in this huge princess mansion, it is also very lonely, if you can often come and walk around, talk to this palace, very good." The eldest princess's gaze was loving. If Yan Xi knew it, it was from the heart.
As the eldest princess said, even if she enjoys glory and wealth in her life, fame and fortune, but she is also alone, the battle for the heir back then, let her get glory, but lost her husband, these years, the eldest princess has not remarried, for her, her husband is only one, died in that tragic war.
Yan Xiruo only now understands why the eldest princess was unwilling to help that person take the heir in her previous life, in the eyes of the eldest princess, only the crown prince can be the emperor justifiably, everyone else is a rebel, she is the eldest princess, how can she help the abuse.
"Xiruo knows." She nodded obediently in agreement, smiling modestly.
The eldest princess smiled, patted her, and looked at the room full of people who came to celebrate her birthday: "It's still a little early before the meal, and the four of you sisters are probably not used to getting along with us who are old, so I asked Ling'er to take you to the garden for a walk, there are many of your peers in the garden, and it is more suitable for you." ”
The eldest princess was ostensibly afraid that they would not be used to staying in the hall, so she asked them to go out for a walk, but in fact she asked them to go to the garden to have a look, and there were also many young ladies there at this time, so let them go and see if they could see a wishful person.
