Chapter 3: Encounters
After laughing for a while, the female official came to report that almost all the people in the imperial garden had come, and the queen got up and led everyone to the imperial garden, Le An and Yulin supported the queen one by one, pointing and laughing there.
Wu Shufei and her daughter the third princess walked together, and when she turned her head with a smile, she saw the flash of displeasure on the face of the third princess, Wu Shufei held her daughter's hand tightly, and the third princess understood what her mother meant, and the smile on her face was bright again.
The queen and the concubines and princesses who listened arrived, and the foreign women led by the first wife knelt down to greet them. The queen had already taken two steps forward to help Mrs. Shoufu up, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Cheng brought your most beloved granddaughter today, and we want to meet your smart and well-behaved heart." β
Mrs. Cheng didn't dare to say twice before signaling her granddaughter to come over, Miss Cheng is fifteen years old this year, just like a tender stamen that has just bloomed on the branch, and she stepped forward to salute the queen, and the queen has already taken her hand and looked at it carefully, and praised it well. Miss Cheng took the lead today, and her face suddenly flew red.
Everyone knows that this banquet is by no means ordinary or a birthday banquet, no matter how favored Princess Yongle is, there is no reason to invite noble ladies in Beijing to congratulate her on her eighteenth birthday for her birthday. Whether it is the prince or princess, there are several people who have not yet chosen a mate at that time, and recruiting so many people into the palace also means choosing a mate for them.
All the ladies and ladies were like mirrors in their hearts, and when they saw Miss Cheng taking the lead, they couldn't help but laugh.
After the queen praised Miss Cheng, she also entered the Fang Pavilion where the banquet was held. After the queen took the throne, everyone saluted again, and then they sat down according to their ranks. As for the men who were summoned to the palace today, they were all in the Huifang Pavilion next to them, and they could not come over until they were summoned by the queen.
Since you have played the name of Yulin's birthday, you also want to congratulate Yulin on her birthday, and these clichΓ©s are over. The queen said: "It's rare that so many juniors are in the palace today, don't detain them, let them play in this garden." Just remember, don't leave this garden. β
The ladies got up to receive the edict, and the female officials went to the Huifang Pavilion next to them to announce the edict, and when the girls all went out, the queen asked people to remove the banquet and said to the ladies: "This pavilion is one floor above, the best view, let's go to the top." When the queen spoke, naturally no one dared to refute, and they all followed the queen to the pavilion. It's March, and the garden is full of flowers. Better than those flowers were the young ladies of the family, the older of whom was no more than seventeen, and the younger of fourteen, who were close in age and scattered in this garden, and although they did not dare to joke freely, they could hear the sound of crisp laughter from time to time.
The queen looked at it for a while, and from time to time turned her head sideways to talk to Concubine Wu Shufei beside her, which made the ladies' hearts start to beat more and more, but they were all old adults, and they didn't show any clues on their faces, and they were still unfazed.
Yulin talked and laughed with several princesses for a while, and talked and laughed with Miss Cheng, who was praised by the queen, and felt that it was really boring. Seeing a peach blossom blooming just right, I stood on tiptoe to pick the peach blossoms. There was already a young lady next to her who volunteered: "Princess Yongle, let the concubine help you." β
Yulin looked at her face, remembering that her surname was Wang, and her father seemed to be for Hanlin, so she couldn't help but say that she was tired and moved aside a little.
Miss Wang's stature is taller than Yulin, Yulin took a step back, Miss Zhao must make a good impression in front of Yulin, her hand just touched the peach blossom branch and climbed it down, and when she skimmed it lightly, her foot moved, and she stepped on a small pebble next to her, Miss Zhao couldn't stop it, and she was about to slip.
Yulin stood close, and when she saw this, she reached out to help Miss Wang, Miss Zhao didn't fall down, and her face suddenly turned red: "Princess, concubine ......" Yulin took the peach blossom and said: "It's mine, it's not me, you helped me but almost made you fall." β
Miss Wang got this praise, and her face showed a look of joy, so smart, it was more fun than Miss Cheng. Yulin took the peach blossom in her hand and enjoyed it casually, so she asked Miss Zhao some gossip.
Miss Wang is just fourteen this year, she is a pet baby at home, seeing Yulin's kind smile, she forgot what her mother told her to the sky, and Yulin asked and answered, and after finishing speaking, her hand was closed: "I thought that the princesses were extraordinarily ......" Miss Wang stuck out her tongue slightly before she finished speaking: "I shouldn't say this." β
Yulin also smiled: "Throw away our identity, we are not the same as you?" Miss Wang shook her head: "It's different, but where is it different, I can't say it, and the concubine." Such innocence should be what a woman of this age and status should be, not like herself, the secret she hides can never be told to others. Yulin smiled again, and walked with Miss Wang to the place where the girls gathered, and occasionally looked back, but met a pair of eyes not far away.
These eyes are not special, but when Yulin saw these eyes, her heart jumped suddenly, such a pair of eyes, which should have appeared in her dreams, how could they appear here. Who is he? found that Yulin was looking at him, and the owner of those eyes had already saluted Yulin: "Minister, Xinke Tanhua Xu Zhi'an, see ......"
Xu Zhi'an paused at this point, look at this dress, this girl is a princess, but which princess is she? Moreover, the way she looked at herself, it was so familiar. I've never seen it before.
It turned out that his name was Xu Zhi'an, and Yulin heard King Wu say that Jinke Tanhua was a sixteen-year-old genius who had been known as a prodigy since he was a child. I didn't expect him to have such a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that made me want to pull him and ask. Yulin smoothed out the ripples in her heart and said, "My name is Yulin, and my title is Yongle." She is the daughter of King Wu. β
Miss Wang next to her widened her eyes, what does this mean? How can anyone be known by name the first time they meet. Yongle princess Chen Yulin, the only pearl of King Wu's palm, it turns out that she looks like this, she does not have the domineering of a royal daughter, but is dignified and dignified, and even, very amiable.
Xu Zhi'an pressed down the surprise in his heart, and said what he hadn't finished speaking: "Minister, see Princess Yongle, Princess Wan'an." Yulin nodded to Xu Zhi'an, then turned around and continued to go to the other side with Miss Wang.
Miss Wang wanted to ask, but Yulin's look made her dare not speak, after all, this is a princess, not an ordinary daughter.
Xu Zhi'an withdrew his eyes and looked up at the peach blossom tree, he had lost and was tricked by someone, and he wanted to come here to pick a peach blossom and go back, but he didn't expect to meet the princess. I heard that today is her birthday. Xu Zhi'an felt that his legs were a little sore, so he moved his steps and left. That sense of familiarity, Xu Zhi'an patted his forehead with his hand, and he actually felt that she looked very similar to the little sister.
A princess, the daughter of an ordinary family, how can she look very similar. I must have been punished, so I was confused. Xu Zhi'an took two steps, thinking that he had to pick peach blossoms back, so he hurriedly turned around and picked a peach blossom and left.
It was only when she walked among the crowd that Yulin's heart was completely calmed down, and she should ask that person, but how did a princess summon a foreign man? Yulin was still thinking, so the palace maid came to look for Yulin: "The princess of Qin is here, and the mother invites Princess Yongle to come over!" β
When Princess Le'an heard that Princess Qin Guo was coming, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, for this sister, Princess Le'an was envious and a little annoyed, but this was just a moment, as a princess, if she couldn't even hide this emotion, how could she live? Princess Le'an's voice has become lively: "Sister Yulin is really different from others, the eldest sister actually entered the palace to congratulate you on Fangchen." β
Yulin only smiled faintly and left with the palace maid, Miss Cheng looked at the departing Yulin, and forced herself not to say that she wanted to follow Yulin to meet the princess of Qin. Grandfather once said that if you enter the palace, if you can see the princess of Qin, you must behave in front of the princess of Qin, so that the princess of Qinguo will remember herself. As for the reason, Cheng Shoufu didn't say, but Miss Cheng knew that Qingtang had a princess regent tradition. Even if the court is secretive about the mother of the princess of Qin, even if the mother of the princess of Qin is already a very marginal princess of the Qingtang royal family, this cannot change the emperor of this princess of Qin who is above all princesses.
It's a pity that this princess of Qin has a strange temper, and no one can get into her eyes. Without an edict, Miss Cheng could only withdraw her eyes, continue to laugh with the young ladies, and send respectful words to the princesses from time to time with them.
Yulin has already entered the Fang Pavilion, and the ladies have been sent outside to wait, and on the third floor of the pavilion, there are only the princess and the queen of the Qin Kingdom.
Princess Qin has a different beauty from a royal woman, when sitting with the queen, this feeling is deeper, Yulin stepped forward to salute the queen, and looked at the princess of Qin when she got up: "When will my sister come, if you know that the eldest sister is coming, I should wait at the palace gate." β
"Naughty!" is different from the appearance of the princess of Qin State, but her voice is very crisp and moving, and she has already picked up a box on the table: "I originally wanted to go to the Grange to hunt today, but I encountered something halfway through, so I entered the palace." It was Mrs. Su who reminded me that today was your birthday. You take it and play with it. β
Yulin thanked the princess of Qin Guo before she said curiously: "What happened to the eldest sister?" "Yongle, since the eldest princess has given you a birthday gift, you go down first......" Although the queen's voice was always elegant, it was inevitably a little impatient at this time. The romance of this daughter who can't be beaten and scolded has been traditional, and the crown prince has always been regarded by the emperor as a bit of a coward, regent, and everything will be in vain at that time. A thorn in the back of the heart. Not enough to master the world. Or VVwW, Qingtang, is a princess regent, if the emperor really cares about the princess of Qin
