Chapter 551: Ten Thousand Empty Alleys
"Xiaofeng, why are you frowning?" He Jingjing asked after noticing it.
"It's nothing, it's just that the wind was strong just now, and I squinted my eyes, so I frowned. ”
He Jingjing felt that Xiaofeng's reason was still relatively clumsy, and her eyes wandered back and forth between Liu Shuyan and Xiaofeng, and she felt that Xiaofeng should be unhappy because she came out with Liu Shuyan.
Judging from Xiaofeng's admiration for Ye Haixuan, this is also reasonable.
He Jingjing patted Xiaofeng on the shoulder and got into his carriage.
"Liu Gongzi, let's leave it at that. I'll wait until I've made the arrangements, and I'll go to your house to find you. ”
"Then Liu will wait for the county lord. ”
The title has also changed, Liu Shuyan is a thoughtful person, He Jingjing nodded secretly and closed the carriage curtain.
Looking at the direction in which He Jingjing went, Liu Shuyan felt that there was always a melancholy feeling in his heart.
"Eldest sister, you are back, has the emperor embarrassed you?"
As soon as He Jingjing got out of the carriage, He Xiaoxiao rushed up, pulling her to look left and right, her face full of worry.
"You kid, how do you speak? The emperor is so good to me, how can he embarrass me?" He Jingjing looked around, scratched He Xiaoxiao's nose and said angrily.
He Xiaoxiao knew that he was wrong, how could he spur the Son of Heaven at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Besides, the emperor will still be his father-in-law in the future, and he will not look up to see him, in case he is beaten by someone with a heart, although the emperor will not blame, it is inevitable that there will still be suspicions.
"Let's go in first. Seeing He Xiaoxiao's face flushed, He Jingjing felt funny in her heart, patted her head, and the two hugged each other and entered the eldest princess's mansion.
At this moment, the eldest princess was already embroidering with the embroidery girl in the pavilion, and was learning the critical moment, when she suddenly heard the laughter like silver bells from far and near, and knew that it was the two girls who came.
"He Jingjing, you come over to me. Putting down the work in her hand, the eldest princess said with a sigh of relief.
Hearing that the eldest princess's tone was wrong, He Jingjing looked at He Xiaoxiao suspiciously, and He Xiaoxiao lowered her head.
"Did you tell my aunt about my trip to the palace?"
"Sister, I was wrong......"
He Jingjing sighed, helped her head, walked to the eldest princess's side nervously, and smiled at the eldest princess as if flattering.
"Auntie, I'm back. Ah, my aunt's embroidery skills are really getting better and better, this duck is like the real thing!"
"That's a mandarin duck. ”
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and He Jingjing felt that her horse's ass slapped on the horse's buttocks.
"Auntie's mandarin ducks are much better looking than ducks, but my mouth is stupid and I haven't kept up with the speed of my brain. After turning her words without blushing and her heart beating, He Jingjing licked her face and sat beside the eldest princess.
"Stand up for me. The eldest princess said with a straight face.
Not daring to disobey, He Jingjing immediately stood up.
"Do you know it's wrong?" Glancing at it, although the eldest princess did not have anger on her face, He Jingjing felt that her words were full of cold feelings.
It's a hot day, but it's like winter.
Shivered, He Jingjing didn't dare to delay, and immediately answered: "I know it's wrong." ”
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't have borrowed money from the emperor, and you should have hidden it from your aunt. ”
"You can carry it clearly, let's say, how much did the emperor give?"
He Jingjing suddenly had a shock, could it be that her aunt still wants to come to get a piece of the pie?
"Uh, that's ......."
"Presumably the emperor didn't give you money. Seeing that He Jingjing was hesitant, the eldest princess picked up the tea at hand, took a sip and said.
"Yes, yes, the emperor is so stingy, because he is still my own uncle, he refuses to lend me any silver. ”
Hearing He Jingjing's words, the eldest princess didn't catch her breath, coughed several times, frightened the people who were waiting around, and hurriedly came up one by one and patted her back, and it took a while to ease up.
"The emperor is indeed stingy, a few years ago I entered the palace for a banquet, and a string of crystal rosaries in my hand accidentally fell into the fish pond in the imperial garden, and he didn't give me another string of prayers. ”
He Jingjing didn't expect that the eldest princess was also a grudge, and such a string of crystal prayer beads could be remembered for so long.
"I wish you asked him to order more things, I'm not angry that you went to the emperor, but why didn't you tell me if you were short of money?"
He Jingjing was stunned, what is the situation? Auntie, this is?
"Auntie, I'm not afraid of bothering you. ”
Since you went to the emperor first, it shows that you are more interested in your uncle than your aunt in your heart. The eldest princess's face was full of disappointment, as if she was about to cry in the next second.
He Jingjing was in a mess, it turned out that the eldest princess still had such a childish side.
"Auntie, it's Jingjing's mistake, next time I must ask my aunt for help. Isn't I afraid that my aunt will spend money, and my uncle's money will not be spent in vain. ”
As soon as He Jingjing said this, the mood on the eldest princess's face improved a lot.
"You take the two thousand taels of silver, and when you get enough money back, just return it to me." The eldest princess took out the silver ticket she had prepared and handed it to He Jingjing, who suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Why are you stunned, don't take it quickly, I raised my hands sorely. ”
"Thank you, Auntie. ”
Rao is a fan of money, He Jingjing also felt a little uncomfortable, she came to the capital to eat and live in the eldest princess's mansion, and she used the small maid and carriage given by the eldest princess to go out.
Now that she wants to open a store, she is short of money, and the eldest princess has given herself so much silver, which really relieves a lot of financial pressure on herself.
"Auntie, in fact, the emperor didn't give me nothing, he gave me a piece of land. ”
Then, He Jingjing told the eldest princess everything about her time in the palace today, and the eldest princess sighed.
"This ritual waiter's family is really a great emperor. ”
He Jingjing didn't dare to say anything about the affairs of the court, and He Jingjing didn't dare to ask. As long as you make good money and do your job as a businessman.
"But it's better for you to have more contact with that Liu Shuyan, after the autumn of this year, maybe he will also become an official. Presumably, with his talents, the emperor will also reuse it. It should take his father's place. ”
"Alternate position?" He Jingjing didn't know why. Can't father and son be officials together?
"The emperor is afraid that the court and the central government are dominant, and one official is enough. ”
Understood, it turned out to be for checks and balances.
"It's hard work today, let's eat first, relax today, it's estimated that you'll be busy from tomorrow." ”
He Jingjing nodded, ready to give herself the last day of vacation.
Just as the people in the room were seated properly and the dishes were ready, a subordinate ran in.
"Your Highness, Liu Shuyan's son asks to see you. ”
