Chapter 44: Princess Runan

"Madame, Madame!"

In the inner courtyard of the Sai family, Xiao Lian Sazi was running wildly, looking excited and eager to fly, "His Royal Highness King Qi has come down!" His Royal Highness King Qi has come down! ”

When the eldest lady who was still preparing in the wing room heard the news, she was so excited that she didn't have time to tie her clothes, and opened the door and asked happily, "Are you here?" Is His Royal Highness King Qi really here? ”

"Not only His Royal Highness King Qi has come down, His Royal Highness King Qi has also brought a princess."

"Princess? And the princess is coming? Which princess is it? ”

"I heard it's Princess Runan. Madame, do you know? I haven't heard of it anyway. ”

There are so many princesses in the emperor, who knows who is who?

The eldest lady was stunned, shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but since I came with His Royal Highness King Qi, naturally there will be no mistake." Quick, come out with me to meet you. ”

The eldest lady was overjoyed and hurried back to the room to tie her clothes.

"Great! Unexpectedly, not only did His Royal Highness King Qi come down, but also brought another big Buddha to our family! ”

The King of Qi brought Her Royal Highness the Princess to the court, which proves that the purpose of the King of Qi is to rest here as a place for fun. But this is not the point, the point is to let those who are looking at the attitude of His Royal Highness King Qi know that His Royal Highness King Qi has come down, and they will definitely come after learning the news. This gives them the opportunity to change their minds about Saijia.

The eldest lady looked festive, and walked quickly to the main hall of the outer courtyard with her head held high.

The main hall of the Saijia has not been so lively for a long time, most of them are merchants related to the cloth business in Chang'an City and some officials who are not in the stream, and His Royal Highness King Qi is a transcendent existence among the people here. is really too big a disparity in status and status, so that everyone knows that no one dares to come forward to talk to King Qi here.

Seeing the arrival of the eldest lady, the slightly nervous people in the hall showed smiling faces and got up to greet the eldest lady.

The eldest lady met everyone in the hall one by one, and finally moved to the side of His Royal Highness King Qi.

His Royal Highness King Qi sat upright, with Princess Runan beside him, and behind the two stood an unsmiling guard.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi can come to the Saijia in person, the Saijia is really brilliant, and the princess of Runan is here, and the women are flattered. Today's small banquet in the cold house, I am afraid that there is something inconsiderate, and I hope that the two highnesses can be able to hold the sea. ”

Li You sat on the main seat facing the door, looking out in a daze at the moment, not paying attention to the people around him.

After the eldest lady finished speaking, Li You was silent for a while before focusing his eyes on the eldest lady, and also got up and hugged his fists to salute, and then asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Sai, may I ask when Wu Ruyi, the daughter of the warrior Tong, will arrive?" ”

As soon as she heard this, the eldest lady chuckled in her heart, and said in her heart that if she really came here for Wu Ruyi, she was afraid that something would go wrong later!

No matter how worried she was, she wouldn't show it on her face, and the eldest lady looked outside as she learned from Li You: "I guess it's going to be soon." ”

Li You showed a look of joy, turned around and whispered to Princess Runan, who was sitting with him: "Later, that Wu Ruyi will come, and my sister will make friends with each other for my brother." ”

Princess Runan was soft and weak, sitting upright without any movement, just raised her eyebrows and looked at Li You, wanting to say something, but suddenly her brows furrowed, and she took out a handkerchief to cover Yin Tao's small mouth and coughed, but she didn't make a sound.

Finally, Princess Runan nodded, signaling that she knew.

The eldest lady took in this scene, and her heart turned over with mixed feelings.

It turned out that Her Royal Highness the princess was a wingman sent by Her Royal Highness King Qi. can make King Qi so attentive, it seems that he really thinks about Wu Ruyi. If Nawu Ruyi can't stand the sugar-coated cannonballs of the two brothers and sisters, or His Royal Highness the King of Qi is strong...... In the future, he will naturally not be able to be the emperor's talent, so isn't the Wu family's plan to use his daughter to consolidate his position to fail? Will the samurai family be jealous of the Saijia in the future?

A number of troublesome questions came rushing in, and the eldest lady could only bite the bullet and not think about it.

As the saying goes, what are you afraid of, there is a report from the family at the door, and it is really Wu Ruyi who is here.

As soon as he heard Wu Ruyi's name, Li You in the hall stood up excitedly, grabbed the eldest lady's sleeve and asked, "Mrs. Sai, is that person here?" ”

The eldest lady tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Yes." ”

"Great!" Li You waved his arms, "Let's look at what that glamorous woman looks like?" Mrs. Sai, you can't be a liar, right? ”

"Your Highness will see for yourself."

Li You smiled and sighed: "There will be no mistake in thinking about it, this daughter of the warrior Tong has long had a good reputation, but she has never been seen, and today is the right time, just to see the true face." Sister, can you go to the door with you to have a look? ”

"Ahem...... The imperial brother has been named the king of Qi, and his expression is no different from that of the Hanmen scholar, for fear of losing his dignity. ”

"Ouch! Even if the retainers in the house chatter, why do you follow the chatter? If you don't go, stay here and take a look at your brother and go back. ”

……

In the backyard of the Saijia, in the kitchen-

"Xia Shang, Madame, let me bring the cold drink." Sangsang ran over in a panic.

In preparation for today, the kitchen has already been filled with all kinds of ingredients, which seem to be messy, but they are in Xia Shang's grasp.

Xia Shang continued to work and did not look back: "The fruits, honey, milk and other things at the door were all moved to the main hall. ”

Sang Sang didn't ask much, and turned back to the subordinate who was waiting in the backyard: "A few of you, quickly move these to the main hall." ”

Soon, Sang Sang led his subordinates to take away all the ingredients prepared at the door, and Xia Shang entered the space kitchen without one.

There is a double-door refrigerator in the space kitchen, and many smoothies have been prepared for today's cold drink, Xia Shangzao.

Put the smoothie into the white porcelain basin brought from Saijia and quickly return to the kitchen, and carry it to the main hall by yourself.

A few steps out of the kitchen, he collided with Sangsang who had returned.

"Xia Shang, what are you doing with all those things? The guests are still confused! ”

"Let's go, we'll explain it later." Xia Shang was in a hurry, because today's temperature was really scorching, and the smoothie was afraid that it would not take long to melt.

Sang Sang noticed the smoothie that Xia Shang was holding, and showed surprise: "Where did the ice come from?" ”

Xia Shang ignored it, and asked as he walked, "Has His Royal Highness King Qi come down?" ”

"Here we are."

"That's fine."

"Not only His Royal Highness King Qi has come down, but His Royal Highness King Qi has also brought Princess Runan."

"What?" Xia Shang suddenly stood in place, "What princess are you talking about?" ”

"Runan! Princess Runan. ”

"Princess Runan?" In an instant, Xia Shang thought of "The Epitaph of Princess Runan".

It was a calligraphy work, because Xia Shang's ancestors were chefs, and most of his cooking skills came from his ancestors in addition to studying. Because cooking skills have been passed down from generation to generation, Xia Shang's family attaches great importance to inheritance, not only of culinary skills, but also of ancient Chinese culture. Calligraphy, poetry, ritual music, and so on are all involved. Therefore, Xia Shang dabbled in calligraphy, and "The Epitaph of Princess Runan" is one of his rare works.

"The Epitaph of Princess Runan" is an article to commemorate Princess Runan, and the inscription is November 16 of the tenth year of Zhenguan.

This proves that Princess Runan died on November 16, the tenth year of Zhenguan.

The tenth year of Zhenguan is this year, and now it is the great heat, and it is less than three months away from November 16!
