41 Princess He'an
Mother Xie was old, and she was amazed and relieved, waiting for Lin Mu'er to wash up and change into the clothes she wore every day.
The waist-length silk satin long hair was simply pulled down, only a simple green hosta was inserted, and the elegant crescent white long skirt was matched with a goose yellow jacket, which faded away the complicated and expensive princess dress, which will make the elegant Lin Muer like a spring flower in early spring, and it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it!
"Master." Lan Xue offered a cup of red date and osmanthus tea, glanced at the gift on the table, and was embarrassed: "Such a valuable object, how should we return the gift?" ”
Lin Mu'er gently rubbed the lid of this cup, the warm tea was very comfortable to the touch, and the wisps of osmanthus fragrance overflowed from the cup, Lin Mu'er frowned: "It's okay, Princess He'an is an elder, so it should be rewarded by the elders, let's return the gift according to the routine, just be a little more valuable, don't cover the limelight!" ”
"Yes!" Lan Xue nodded, Princess He'an is the emperor's elder, her status is noble, and her share of the rare treasures she pays tribute every year is indispensable, so it is not surprising that Princess He'an is generous. Although it is the Jin Palace, it is also a time of honor, and if you look carefully in the treasury, you can also come up with objects that are comparable to the princess of He'an, but in this way, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, and now the Jin Wangfu is on the cusp, it is always right to be low-key, and the princess of He'an will not make a big fuss about this kind of trivial matter!
"These are received in the warehouse, so let's take them!" Lin Mu'er pointed to the things on the table: "This day, the gold brocade is carefully ordered, I don't know when such a precious brocade will be used, put it away carefully, don't call it an insect bite!" ”
"Good!" Lan Xue nodded: "The slave maid also put the medicinal materials given by the old lady today, and then find some gifts in return the day after tomorrow." After speaking, he led a few little girls to move the things to the warehouse and put them in place.
Mother Xie saw that Lin Mu'er was still entangled, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "There is only one day left and right, and the day after tomorrow, the master will see Princess He'an, so it will be clear, why bother yourself here in vain?" I didn't take a lunch break today, and I was worried too much! ”
"Where's the nerves?" Lin Mu'er was a little funny, Mother Xie has been extra careful with herself since she got better, and she looked at herself tightly, afraid that she would not take care of her body: "I'm fine!" ”
"Yes! Okay! Mother Xie was also helpless, and touched Lin Mu'er's bed: "I've already burned the earth dragon today, I don't feel anything yet, I guess it won't be hot until midnight!" ”
"Hmm!" Lin Mu'er nodded, it was indeed a little cold, in the middle of the night in the past two days, although she was covered with a thick quilt, her toes also felt cold and swishing: "Oh, by the way, my mother will let Qingcheng go and talk to the whole lady later, and then make some chrysanthemum cakes, and send them to the Marshal's Mansion tomorrow!" ”
"Good! Do you want to do something else? Mother Xie paused and asked.
Lin Mu'er thought for a while: "According to Mrs. Yin's taste, these sweet and light pastries are not to be eaten, and the left and right are just a little heart, let the whole lady watch and do it, only one, you must eat carefully, don't make a mistake!" Also, not only Mrs. Yin, but all the ladies also have to have a share. ”
“
Okay, this girl Qingcheng went to the storeroom, and I went to look for her! Mother Xie nodded, this pastry is not easy to make, and I need one for everyone, so if I don't prepare it earlier, I'm afraid it won't be too late to send it out tomorrow.
"Go ahead!" Lin Mu'er put down the tea bowl, found a book, and slowly flipped through it.
Seeing this, it was only when the sky was full of stars that he stopped, perhaps because there was no lunch break today, Lin Mu'er didn't do anything else, and went to bed after dinner early.
For two days, it was time to go to Princess He'an's Mansion in a blink of an eye, Lin Mu'er got up early to prepare, wearing a pale cyan and silver-edged apricot entangled rose dress, lightly sweeping the moth eyebrows, lightly tapping the red lips, and draped a chestnut brown cloak inlaid with fox down, and the little face that was not very round was even more white and small. In addition to the necessary to fix the hairpin of the bun. Lin Mu'er's hair was only sporadically decorated with a few half-sized East Beads as decoration, and Mother Xie looked at it for a long time and felt that it was too elegant, so she took a golden step with a double phoenix bead and inserted it.
"Let's go!" Lin Mu'er glanced outside the house, it was already bright, and if she went late, she was afraid that it would be inappropriate.
Fu Ye is still waiting in front of the palace gate, Cheng Yan has already returned, this will also be waiting at the door, maybe it was a maintenance word at the gate of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion that day, Lin Mu'er felt a little grateful to this dumb guard leader for no reason.
After avoiding everyone's greetings, the group slowly walked towards Princess He'an's mansion in a carriage. Because of the young age of the two girls, Weiyueju is not good if no one takes care of her, so Lin Mu'er also brought Lan Xue and Xie's mother this time.
Princess He'an's Mansion was very close, and after a while, I heard Cheng Yan shouting in a hoarse voice: "Niangniang, Princess He'an's Mansion has arrived!" ”
Lin Mu'er got out of the car, the gate of the princess's mansion had already been sprinkled with water to clean the street, and a group of servants knelt at the door, just standing firmly, only to see a middle-aged woman in a crimson dress hurrying from the house, Xu was in a hurry, and even the golden hairpin on her head was a little crooked. Seeing Lin Mu'er get out of the car, the woman saluted a little nervously: "Qinglan has seen Princess Jin, Qinglan is late, and I hope that the princess will forgive her sins!" ”
"This is Princess He'an's daughter-in-law." Lan Xue gently reminded Lin Mu'er in her ear.
Oh... Shen Qinglan, the second daughter of Shangshu Mansion, has a prominent family background and is knowledgeable, and Princess He'an is said to have spent a lot of effort in order to get this daughter-in-law! Lin Mu'er hurriedly reached out to help: "It turned out to be my sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please get up quickly, don't be polite!" Lin Mu'er called Princess He'an her aunt, Shen Qinglan was the princess's daughter-in-law, and this sister-in-law could also afford it.
Shen Qinglan was stunned when she heard Lin Mu'er calling her sister-in-law, and when she saw Lin Mu'er's outstretched hand, she panicked and avoided it for a while, which turned red and became even more cramped.
Lan Xue frowned and glanced at Mother Xie, who was also a little puzzled, but quietly reached out to hold Lin Mu'er's hand: "Niangniang, take care of your steps." ”
"Please also ask my sister-in-law to lead the way." Lin Mu'er didn't think about it, and still said gently.
"This... This way, please! Shen Qinglan pursed her lips, and didn't care about anything else, low
The head led Lin Mu'er towards the princess's mansion.
Different from the marshal's mansion, although it is also exquisite, but the princess's mansion has a few more graceful parts of the Jiangnan water town, the pavilions and pavilions are exquisite and complex, and even the trees are full of indescribable elegance, think about it, the gardeners in this garden really spent a lot of effort!
Lin Mu'er had the heart to talk to Shen Qinglan, yesterday she pulled Lan Xue and asked a lot about the situation of the princess's mansion, although she knew herself and knew her opponent, but Lan Xue was also a girl after all, and she knew very little, only said that the princess's heirs were thin, and she gave birth to two daughters and a son, although she also found a few concubines for the concubine, but she didn't come out of anything, so she was particularly concerned about this son, originally the princess's son had no title, but because this child was born with congenital deficiencies, he has been taking medicine to protect it, and he can't get out of bed for half a year. Therefore, Princess He'an asked the emperor for the false title of King of Kangshou County for her son. But fortunately, after Shen Qinglan got married, she was also pregnant, and she got a man in one fell swoop, although she didn't come out again, she was still happy that Princess He'an had been fasting for two years, and she was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Lin Mu'er followed behind Shen Qinglan, and wanted to open her mouth to find a few words to say a few words, but Shen Qinglan seemed to be evasive, her eyes didn't dare to face Lin Mu'er, her face was nervous, and her lips were a little white.
The group walked in a strange atmosphere, fortunately the garden was exquisite, so they should concentrate on enjoying the scenery, through a hanging flower arch, Princess He'an's Peibao Pavilion arrived, and the guards were a few serious-looking mothers-in-law, seeing Shen Qinglan coming with Lin Mu'er, they knelt down and asked for peace in a hurry.
"Excuse me!" Lin Mu'er raised his hand.
"Mother, please!" A very neatly cleaned mother-in-law bowed over and said.
Lin Mu'er glanced at it, the material of the clothes was good, and there was a hosta with a good color on her head, it seemed that she was the person next to Princess He'an.
"There is labor!" Lin Mu'er nodded. Shen Qinglan, who was still leading the way in front, would silently move behind Lin Mu'er, and the quiet seemed to be non-existent.
The main hall of the Peibao Pavilion was a large room with excellent lighting, and as soon as Lin Mu'er entered the door, she saw Princess He'an sitting on the top of the hall with a smile on her face. Wearing a dark purple longevity pattern embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers, a majestic and gorgeous Kaohsiung bun, the princess of He'an is full of wealth and imposing, not to mention that the mother-in-law and girls on the side are all low-eyebrowed, standing on both sides in a very regular manner, Lin Mu'er came in, and none of the girls raised their eyes to peek, thinking about it, the rules of this princess of He'an are extremely strict.
"Oh, I can be regarded as seeing our little eleven's daughter-in-law, you see, the water is smart, but it hurts!" There are some abnormal intimacy with each other, and Princess He'an said it very naturally, as if she had known Lin Mu'er for a long time.
"Mu'er has seen the imperial aunt!" Seeing that these girls are so well-behaved, it is not so easy to get along with Princess He'an, Lin Mu'er didn't dare to climb the pole, and she was still very respectful.
"Get up, hurry up! Come on, come and sit next to me, and I'll see! Princess He'an stretched out her hand and called, Lin Mu'er
Only then did he slowly step forward and secretly look at Princess He'an.
Xu is pampered for the sake of pampering, although Princess He'an's temples have given birth to a little gray hair, but the maintenance is excellent, there is no wrinkle on the face, the appearance of the Gu family is not bad, although Princess He'an is more than half a hundred years old, looking at it like this, it is still a beautiful woman, think about it, when she is young, she must also be a bright and beautiful woman. Walking in front of Princess He'an, Lin Mu'er found that although Princess He'an was full of smiles, her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, like a black skin with white incense powder, which made people see it at a glance.
"Aunt Huang!" Lin Mu'er remained silent, still approaching Princess He'an obediently.
"Look! My little eleven is a blessed one after all! Such a lovely daughter-in-law! Princess He'an took Lin Mu'er's hand, "Good boy, when you got married, I just had a head disease, so I didn't show up, you won't blame your aunt, right?" ”
