On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the most lively day in the palace, there are many heavy snow days this year, on the first day of the new year, the snow is swept everywhere in the morning, and all kinds of snow trees, snow towers, snowmen, animals and the like are piled up, and because there are only some plum blossoms in winter, the trees are tied with silk flowers again, and the red silk lanterns are hung, etc., but it also seems to be full of flowers.

However, the most flowery is the inner and outer women and ladies who enter the palace to congratulate, it is the first day of the new year, and it is natural to be festive, except for some of the older or widowed, only with crimson, lake blue and other colors, in the snow, I only see red cloaks everywhere, silver-red cloaks, snow-white wind hair, lined with the brilliant jewelry on everyone's heads, it is really indescribable wealth and honor.

Zhou Baolu got up early, although he was half drunk yesterday, he was still young in the end, and he was in good spirits this morning, and the maids served and wore the crown princess's dress, combed the peony bun, and inserted the phoenix hairpin in the middle, which was already quite a grand dress.

Coupled with a slip of red gold ruby hairpins and sideburns, Zhou Baolu's round face and big eyes are really very suitable for this gorgeous and grand dress!

It's just that because of his youth, his skin is like clotted fat, and he has a natural ruddy luster, rouge gouache is used less, Zhou Baolu is seventeen years old, and his body has grown up, at this time, he is so serious and ceremoniously dressed up, his skin is slightly plump, and the color is bright, and he is indescribably beautiful and precious.

Whoever sees it, whether it is true or not, can't help but admire: "The princess is really more and more beautiful!" ”

A neat lady of about forty years old walked over, stood two feet away in front of Zhou Baolu in a measured manner, and said with a smile: "Say hello to the mother, our family has always been outside, it is rare to have the honor to enter Beijing to ask the emperor, the prince, and the mother, this is the first time to see the mother, in the past, I often heard Brother Li's daughter-in-law say, the mother is noble, generous, and is a very kind person, now I see it, it turns out that Brother Li's daughter-in-law has not described half of it!" Niangniang's description, this style, I have seen so many people in my life, and I have never seen anyone more in line with the word dignified than Niangniang! ”

Although the words are numb, there is proportion, not involving the harem or family background, but only exaggerating the beauty, no matter which class, what identity, what age, who doesn't like to listen to this kind of talk?

So Zhou Baolu knew that she was complimenting, but she still had a good impression of this lady, so she smiled and said, "I don't know who this is?" I was young, I didn't see many people, and some of them didn't recognize me and didn't dare to call them. ”

There was the county lord of Ning Wan next to him who was talking to someone, and when he heard this, he turned around and smiled: "No wonder you don't know, this is the county lord of Changning of the uncle of the Xianjin Dynasty, the prince of the Zhennan Wang family, let's call my aunt." ”

It turned out to be her!

Although Zhou Baolu doesn't know people, but the name is known to the way, after the original marriage, to marry into the royal family, one of the preparations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to submit the roster of royal relatives, the lord of Changning is like this, and the close relatives in the three suits today, of course, the name is also in the front.

The county lord of Changning is the eldest daughter of the king of the first Jin Dynasty, and now the sister of the king of Jin, the first emperor gave marriage, married the eldest son of the Zhennan Palace, and later asked for the title of the prince.

Zhennan Wang Duan is the first big family in Yunnan, entrenched in Yunnan for thousands of years, the Dasheng Dynasty was established for two hundred years, compared with Duan, it has to be regarded as a nouveau riche, and Duan's power is large, in Yunnan this territory, has always been known only to have Duan does not know that there is a court, when Tai, grandfather laid down the country, after all kinds of wrestling, the Duan clan patriarch voluntarily returned to the court, the grandfather of the grandfather took Yunnan without blood, on the merit reward, sealed the Duan hereditary replacement of the Zhennan King, generations of town guard Yunnan.

However, every generation of sons is the daughter of the clan given by the imperial court, and even most of the sons and daughters are often married to various clans and noble families in the imperial capital.

The daughter-in-law of Brother Li, mentioned in the mouth of the county lord of Changning, is Zhou Baolu's close friend, Zheng Ling, the youngest daughter of the princess of Xian'anguo, married to Duan Chongli, the third-room concubine of the Zhennan Palace.

Zhou Baolu smiled and said: "It turned out to be Aunt Changning, aunt is not strange, in the future, my aunt will come to the imperial capital more often, and I will naturally recognize it." ”

asked Zheng Ling again, and said, "I heard that the seventh sister is going back to the imperial capital after the first month, and I am looking forward to it." ”

The county lord of Changning smiled and said: "This is no wonder Niangniang, it is because we don't often come to ask for peace, Brother Li's daughter-in-law's nephew is married, because it is the prince, it is particularly important, and Brother Li's daughter-in-law married to Yunnan, and she hasn't been back for a year or two, so she didn't want to, so she invited the prince to show that she wanted to take their brother back to the imperial capital with Brother Li'er." I came up in the old year, and my mother's family had something to do, so I also took advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace to say goodbye to my mother. ”

Zhou Baolu knew in her heart, what was going on in their family, of course, it was a major event in the Jin Palace, as an aunt and grandmother, it was not only a very important matter, but also something that could be spoken.

Seeing Zhou Baolu smiling slightly, the county lord of Changning only nodded slightly, and did not answer, but his heart was full of joy, this princess, I heard that she will only have a seventeen-year-old birthday in the middle of this year, and she is so young, but she is so unfathomable.

This attitude is worth playing.

The words of the county lord of Changning seem to be commonplace, but when he studies it carefully, he quietly gives the princess a trick, testing the meaning of the princess, so as to figure out the meaning of the prince.

If the crown princess is unwilling to pay attention to the succession of the Jin Palace, then she will naturally follow her words and ask her best friend Zheng Ling, if the prince and the princess are concerned about the succession of the Jin Palace, then naturally follow the last sentence and talk about what happened to her mother's family.

But at this time, the crown princess pushed the boat down the river, without answering a word, and handed the set back as it was, which became the meaning of the princess to test the lord of Changning.

It depends on whether the county lord of Changning continues to talk about Zheng Ling or her mother's family.

And in this form, the crown princess didn't speak, indicating that she was listening, and it was not rude, while Changning County mainly didn't speak, and the scene became embarrassing.

So the county lord of Changning was defeated in front of Zhou Baolu, took a step closer, and whispered: "Speaking of which, the affairs of my mother's family are really troublesome." ”

Zhou Baolu still smiled slightly, and when she saw someone coming over, she said softly: "Who doesn't have a little trouble, Aunt Changning has more things than me, so she naturally understands, where to worry about it, it's important to take care of your body." ”

As he spoke, he was about to go over and talk to someone. Since you're the one you want to say, it's me who takes the initiative.

This princess is really slippery, and the county lord of Changning has to take another step forward: "Niangniang is really a kind person, it is rare for me to return to the imperial capital, but I want to talk to Niangniang more." ”

Zhou Baolu smiled lightly: "I often have nothing to do in the palace, I just hope that someone will come to talk, my aunt is disgusted, just hand the post into the palace, I like it." Horizontal and vertical family, what can be seen? ”

Zhou Baolu put up a shelf, and through this shelf, he tried out the meaning of the county lord of Changning, so naturally he didn't say much, and when he saw his second aunt coming over, he went over to speak.

The county lord of Changning stood in place, watching Zhou Baolu walk over with a graceful posture, and nodded secretly in his heart.

She knew very well that she had lost a game in front of Zhou Baolu, but the more this was the case, the more relieved she was, there were occasional rumors in the imperial capital that the emperor was hesitant, and the prince's position was unstable, one of the sayings was that the prince no longer had the support of his mother, although the princess who gave the marriage was from the princess, but it was a defeated princess's mansion, how could it help the prince to give such a princess?

However, the father of the family has already analyzed, although the princess's mansion is ruined, the princess's maternal uncle is a very clever figure, the emperor's meaning is difficult to understand, and the father's analysis is between the two, and it is to ask her to carefully observe the princess's personality, which can be seen one or two.

At this time, it was only half a tea hour, and the lord of Changning already knew how to return to his father after returning to Yunnan, and the emperor chose such a princess to the prince, and there was no need to question his love for him!
