Sister-in-law
The carriage is flying or stopping, now there is more time, people are idle, Ji Mi and they stop and go all the way, while enjoying the scenery, while rushing to Qingming.
"The scenery along the road is really good, I really should go out and walk more if I have nothing to do, and I have to get sick at home all day long." Ji Mi sat on a large square picnic mat, not far away is a small valley, foggy, surrounded by the sound of Lingling stream, from time to time a few birds chirping, but it really has a bit of a fairyland feeling.
A few people sat on the placemat eating the freshly picked wild fruits, and Ji Mi took Bao'er and a few girls to the stream to play in the water.
It was drizzling in early spring, and a few big men in Chiyomu reminded a few girls from time to time not to worry about playing in the water and catching a cold, but the girls who were crazy didn't listen to it at all.
After playing, everyone sat around the fire and roasted the fish that Cen Zhiran and they took, the meat was fatty and fragrant, Pan Changning took out the coarse salt from the space, I thought it was useless, but I didn't expect it to be used here.
Sneeze –
Ji Mi played the craziest and was the first to sneeze, and after she sneezed out, Hua Rongying and Jiang Changbao also sneezed one after another.
The respective men hurriedly took off the cloak they were wearing outside and put it on them, and Chiyo Mu tapped Ji Mi's head with some displeasure, "I asked you not to play in the water for so long just now, now it's okay, fortunately, I have the medicine from the Tai Hospital with me, boil some water for a while, and you will take the medicine." ”
Xu Hua also played with them in the water for a while just now, although she didn't play for a long time, her physique was weaker than Ji Mi's, so she also caught a cold, but this is ...... Xu Ran's cloak gave the flower a shadow, but no one from Xu Hua was distressed.
"Let's put it on." Liu Ziqing didn't see anyone just now, but at this moment, he quietly appeared behind Xu Hua, and put on a cloak for her.
It turned out that when I disappeared, I went to the carriage to get my cloak......
Xu Hua lowered his head shyly, and didn't even dare to say thank you, knowing that Liu Ziqing sat opposite her, he had the courage to raise his head and look at Liu Ziqing's eyes and thank him in a low voice: "Thank you Brother Ziqing for taking care of ......"
Since he was a child, Xu Ran has been good friends with Liu Ziqing, and Xu Hua is also close to Liu Ziqing, treating him as his own brother, so it is also used to being called Ziqing's brother.
After eating the grilled fish, packing up their things, and getting ready to go on the road again, this place is not far from Qingming, so they decided to fly directly to Qingming in a carriage with three horses, and no longer stop on the road.
……
A day later, the carriage finally made its way into the city.
As soon as she arrived outside the city gate, the news of the little princess's return immediately spread to the palace. Bao'er had already written a letter to the Qingying monarch in advance, and the letter said that it was expected to arrive today, but I didn't expect it to be really accurate, and the Qingying monarch prepared a family banquet in the morning, just waiting for Bao'er.
Several princes who received news from their father also rushed back from all over the country, just to have a reunion dinner with their sister, who was petted from childhood to adulthood.
"Bao'er." As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, Bao'er heard someone behind her call her name, and as soon as she heard this voice, she knew that it was the fourth brother Jiang Changhua, elegant and calm.
Turning her head, she found that the fourth brother was standing outside the palace gate looking at her with tenderness in her eyes, Bao'er ran over and threw herself into her brother's arms, "Fourth brother~" The soft voice was her best weapon to capture her brothers.
"Okay, I'm finally back, okay, okay, don't be coquettish, big girl, isn't there still anyone watching?" Although Jiang Changhua said this in his mouth, he was reluctant to let go of Bao'er in his hand.
The brother and sister finally met, Bao'er Lai was in the arms of her favorite brother for a long time, and finally grabbed Jiang Changhua's arm and brought him to the people to introduce him one by one, "I'll introduce you to the four, these are Bao'er's best sisters, you should treat them like your own sister!" Otherwise, Bao'er will ignore you! ”
Looking at her pouting and arrogant appearance, Jiang Changhua was amused in his heart, and covered Bao'er's soft hair with a warm big palm, "Our Bao'er's good sister is naturally my brother's sister." ”
"But these two are not sisters, don't look at their youth and beauty, in fact, they have seen all the world's mortal dust through the vicissitudes of life." Ying Bao'er's words, Jiang Changhua raised his eyes to look at Xueyu and Ji Ji, the temperament of these two is indeed different from that of several other girls, the kind of stability that has been precipitated by time is indeed the posture of an immortal.
Jiang Changhua smiled softly, and the doting on Bao'er in his eyes was undiminished, "Okay, good, according to you." The eldest brother wrote that the carriage and horses would enter the city today, and that he would go far this time, and he must have brought delicious food and fun to our little princess. ”
Their eldest brother Jiang Changming is the best brain among several people, good at business, going north and south, Jiang Changbao likes to pester the eldest brother to ask for novelties every time he sees her, the eldest brother, and now that Bao'er has grown up, she always expects the eldest brother to bring her something she has never seen before.
"What about the second and third brothers?" Bao'er thought of these two elder brothers, the second brother is the crown prince, he must be in Qingming, what about the third brother, he is a free talent, I don't know where to be happy this time.
Jiang Changhua, who was held by Bao'er all the way, seemed a little unnatural at the moment, Bao'er was keen, and she also noticed the subtle changes in him, and suddenly grabbed her brother's hand and didn't leave, "Is there something wrong with the second brother?" ”
Why did Bao'er just ask the second brother and not the third brother? There's a reason for that.
Their second brother Jiang Changbai was the first of the four brothers to get married, and the wife he married also helped him politically. And his wife is a talented woman who knows astronomy and geography, but her temperament is a little weaker and she is easy to be bullied.
It was precisely because of her weakness that Jiang Changbai later became the crown prince and married a side room to enter the door, and was wantonly bullied by this side room. And this side room always fanned the yin wind with Jiang Changbai and lit the ghost fire, so that the couple was separated from morality.
Not long ago, Jiang Changbao received a letter from Qing Ming, and the general content of the letter was that the second brother had been clamoring for peace with his main room recently.
But this princess has been doing her best since she got married, and the monarch and queen of Qingming Kingdom like her very much, and they don't agree with Jiang Changbai to reconcile with her, and this matter finally gets bigger and bigger, so that even the princess's mother knows about it and vows to ask Jiang Changbai to give an explanation.
Jiang Changhua nodded silently, and Bao'er stomped his feet angrily, "Why is this second brother so good or bad, how good is the second sister-in-law, he is really angry with me doing this." It's a family banquet today, and the little goblin who fascinated my second brother will definitely attend, hmph, see how I fix this fox when the time comes! ”
It seems that Bao'er really likes her second sister-in-law, and what she said was not biased towards her brother at all, but towards her sister-in-law.
There is a large hall in the Qingying Palace, named the Qinglong Palace, which is an important palace for the Qingying royal family to hold a family banquet, this time the family banquet is held here, but the family banquet is in the afternoon, and it is still some time before the banquet begins, Bao'er decided to take everyone to go outside.
But as the little master of Qingming, Bao'er didn't show excitement when she brought everyone out, or talked non-stop as before, most of the time she was in a daze.
"Bao'er, are you thinking about your second sister-in-law and second brother?" Hua Langying grabbed Bao'er's arm, ready to comfort her.
I saw Bao'er nodding depressedly, but she still didn't mean to speak. When a few people saw each other, this was not a solution, so let her participate in the family banquet happily, otherwise Bao'er's father and mother would be more worried.
At this time, the only person who can persuade Bao'er must be dispatched, that is, the wind is dustless.
Feng Wuchen took the place of Hua Rongying, took Bao'er's hand and walked on the road with her fingers interlocked, the man didn't speak at first, a group of people just walked quietly on the road, watching people coming and going, cars in and out.
About a stick of incense passed, Feng Wuchen led Bao'er to stop in front of a somewhat plain-looking shop, "I still remember that I promised Bao'er to take you to eat all the food in the world, and this is our first stop." ”
Bao'er is delicious, and when she is sad, she forgets everything after eating a delicious meal, not to mention that this time it was brought up by Feng Wuchen, of course she readily agreed.
It's just that...... There will be a banquet here in a while, and if you eat now, won't you have a swollen stomach?
Feng Wuchen saw Bao'er's doubts and led her into the store, "This is just some snacks that don't take up your stomach, and it won't delay the banquet, come on." ”
Sure enough, there is wind and no dust, and no matter how difficult it is, it will be solved simply when it comes to him.
After strolling outside for a while, Bao'er estimated that the banquet was about to start, and took Ji Mi and them back to the palace.
On the road, Bao'er found that there was a figure in front of her who was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while, she ran forward and grabbed the sleeve of the predecessor, and when the person turned around, she was about to get angry, but after seeing Bao'er's face clearly, she immediately squatted down and saluted, "Princess Huajin Qianqiu Chang'an......"
She saw Bao'er clearly, but Bao'er didn't see her clearly, squinted her eyes and said coldly: "Raise your head, this is the road leading to the Qinglong Palace, where did you come from, you dare to disturb the royal family banquet." ”
After the woman who was still making a big gift raised her face, Bao'er frowned slightly, but quickly stretched, and after snorting coldly, she smiled a little playfully: "It turned out to be my second brother's side concubine Wen, and I actually invited you here today?" What about my second brother and second sister-in-law? Why don't you see the two of them? ”
She is clearly the cold Wen family, although the half-squatting Wen family is angry in her heart, but she doesn't dare to say a word, this is the monarch's most precious little princess, the princess Chongshou Huajin of the Qing Ying Kingdom, who dares to offend her, although Jiang Changbai treats her like a treasure now, but when it comes to his precious sister, everything is empty.
The woman tried her best not to let Bao'er see the flaws in her expression, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will set off before the concubine, and they should have arrived at the Qinglong Palace by now." ”
"Oh, then let's go quickly, you can't get up until you can't see my back, can you?" My secret guard will watch over you, and if you dare to disobey my orders, I will sue the Queen Mother and say that you do not respect me. "The Queen Mother is Bao'er's killer weapon against her brothers.
The Queen Mother has loved her the most since she was a child, and the Queen Mother is majestic, except for her father, the most feared by her brothers is her grandmother, that is, the Queen Mother of the Qing Ming Kingdom.
The queen mother doesn't interfere much in the affairs of the harem, she just wants to spend her old age in peace, but she was also a strange woman who served the first emperor and gave advice to her, and she experienced many wars in her life, and was highly respected in Qingming.
At the banquet, the monarch of the Qingying Kingdom sat on the main seat, and the queen and the queen mother sat on the left and right sides of the monarch.
Seeing that Bao'er was still the girl with a childish face, the Queen Mother was so excited that she hurriedly got up to greet her, "Bao'er, the imperial grandmother was still thinking about how long she would be able to see you a few days ago, but I didn't expect my good granddaughter to come back so soon." ”
Facing her granddaughter who has loved her since she was a child, the queen mother is not like a strong woman who once commanded the harem, just a kind and kind ordinary woman who only thinks about her grandson.
"Imperial grandmother~ Bao'er is back, and the imperial grandmother doesn't have to think about her grandson every day, you see, everything is fine with my grandson, and I have made a lot of friends who have given me a positive influence~" Bao'er is an emotional girl, and she regards family affection more than anything else, and it is precisely because she has been in this kind of pampered environment since she was a child that she will develop a delicate character, but now it is much better, although she is delicate, she understands reason.
Seeing that her good daughter only had her grandmother in her eyes, the Qingying monarch on the side was a little jealous, and even spoke sourly, "Alas, this girl has a white pain, and she only has the imperial grandmother in her eyes, and she has forgotten her father and mother." ”
"No, no, how could my daughter forget her father and mother, come to my father, this is a gift for you and your mother's grandmother, and my brothers have already sent it to them, this is brought from the Five Gods Continent, but we don't have five spirits, you see, the two sisters sitting there are from the Five Gods, it's amazing!"
This is almost the same, giving out a novel little gift, Bao'er only then coaxed her jealous father to smile.
The eldest brother Jiang Changming's time was just right, he only appeared a second before the banquet, and everything that should have arrived has arrived, only the second brother's Wen is missing.
The Qing Ying Monarch looked around and found that there was still a vacant seat, and asked with a little anger on his face, "Whose position is this?" I don't know if Boa is back today? Also absent! ”
Jiang Changbai looked anxiously outside the hall, but he still didn't see Wen's figure, and stood up from his position with some nervousness, and bowed to his father and explained: "Go back to your father...... This is Wen's location...... She had always been punctual, and she thought that something had happened to delay her. ”
After speaking, the man cautiously raised his eyes and looked at his father's face, his heart was not good, and his father's whole face was gloomy.
I only heard the Qingming Kingdom Monarch snort with a straight face, and slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, "It's her again." ”
At this time, Bao'er smiled proudly, but stood up and walked to the side of the Qingming monarch with a wine glass to comfort: "Bao'er is back, it was a happy family banquet, why should my father be angry because of some trivial things, beware of being angry, it's not worth it, come to Bao'er to pay tribute to my father's father, wish my father's holy body Kangtai, and wish me eternal peace and tranquility." Father's ...... Wen is here in a while, don't worry about her, Bao'er finally came back, and just wanted to have a happy meal with her family. ”
The Qing Ying Kingdom Monarch was so sweetly touched by Bao'er's words, and the anger just now subsided at once, promising that the Wen family would not hold her guilty for a while.
The banquet was still going on as usual, but when the men present were about to finish drinking, the Wen family rushed to the Qinglong Hall in a bit of embarrassment.
As soon as he stepped into the palace gate and came to the monarch, the Wen family fell to the ground with a puff, and fell to the ground with his head low, "The concubine Wen is late, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sin!" ”
The Qingying Monarch, who wanted to reprimand a few words, saw the pleading look on Bao'er beside him, and instantly softened, waved his hand and asked her to sit in his place.
As soon as Wen arrived, the show was officially about to begin.
Bao'er, who was originally sitting next to the monarch of the Qingying Kingdom, rolled her eyes for a while, then rummaged through the space for a while and took out a small square box with a very delicate package, walked to Jiufang Suran's side and handed it to her with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, this is the bracelet I saw when I was shopping in Wushen, thinking that it matches the second sister-in-law's elegant temperament without fighting or grabbing, so I bought it back, but I am not allowed to refuse my sister." ”
After carefully untying the ribbons, I opened the box, and there was a white jade bracelet with mutton fat carved with a meditation lotus, the fat white bracelet looked delicate, and there was a hint of soft milky yellow when you looked closely, like congealed fat. At first glance, it is a high-grade mutton fat white jade, without the slightest flaw.
Wen next to her didn't mention how itchy her heart was after seeing this bracelet, but with so many people watching, she couldn't beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to buy it for her, so she could only watch Bao'er put on the bracelet for Jiufang Suran.
"It's good-looking, it's suitable for the second sister-in-law."
Jiufang smiled lightly, and accepted this valuable gift with joy, and did not forget to thank Bao'er while being happy, "Sister Bao'er's vision has always been very good, it's hard for my sister to remember that my sister-in-law doesn't like to wear those fancy jewelry, this bracelet is simple and elegant, and the tentacles are warm, no flaws, our Bao'er's vision, it's really good, thank you Sister Bao'er." ”
"Although we are a royal family and have many rules, we can say that we are all a family, and the second sister-in-law will see the outside, if the sister-in-law really wants to thank my sister, it is better to make a little more of my favorite jujube paste, but my sister-in-law knows that my sister has been thinking about this bite." After listening to her words, Su Ran couldn't help but chuckle, patted Bao'er's hand and said Okay, that's it.
There is a harmony between the aunt and sister-in-law, but it really seems to be a sister, which is also the reason why Bao'er's father and queen mother and the queen mother and several other brothers like Jiufang Suran, she has never had a frame with people, treats her family sincerely, and is also filial to her elders, often enters the palace to accompany the queen mother, and also helps the queen mother copy Buddhist scriptures by hand, and even can go to the porcelain kiln to keep watch for a day and a night just to make a white porcelain bottle for the queen mother's birthday.
"Folk, they all say that there are many contradictions between my sister-in-law, but I don't think so, Bao'er and Su Ran have always gotten along very well, like sisters." The Queen Mother was overjoyed to see Bao'er, and now this harmonious atmosphere made her old man smile from ear to ear, and said that her grandson is blessed, and the country will be immortal.
