"This Qin Ming is a talent." Out of the Jinluan Palace, Wei Ning walked slowly in the direction of Lanyue Pavilion.

"The first emperor trusted Qin Ming very much when he was there, and he spent most of his life in officialdom, so he was a good person."

An older woman followed Da Xining half a step away. She has a beautiful face, but the corners of her eyes have left fine lines over time. Dignified and elegant, every move between actions is calm and measured.

Along the way, the palace maids in various costumes saw the emperor Luan driving and saluted on the side of the road. Wei Ning didn't squint and walked slowly.

"Auntie, you went to the Emperor's Mansion last night?" Wei Ning pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Where is Jiahui?" ”

Qionghua replied behind her: "I didn't see the fifth princess, but I saw the king of Changyang." ”

After a pause, Wei Ning said: "Last night, I went to bed a little late, so I went back to Lanyue Pavilion to rest for a while." My aunt doesn't have to serve on the side, it's enough to have Peiyu. ”

"Slave and maid thank Your Majesty," Qionghua bowed.

The bright yellow slender back gradually faded away, Qiong Hua straightened up, and lost her mind for a moment.

"Mr. Liu."

Liu Xi stopped: "What's the matter with my aunt?" ”

"Did Your Majesty dine earlier?"

"Not really."

The little eunuch behind Liu Xi was dumbfounded, the wide eunuch uniform hung on his bamboo stick-like body, he stood with his head bowed blankly, but secretly glanced at Qionghua.

Qionghua frowned. "This is a newcomer to the palace?"

Liu Xi turned his head and glared at the little eunuch, he lowered his head in a panic, and his eyes showed fear.

Liu Xi's somewhat wrinkled face was full of smiles. "Auntie, forgive me, he's new and not very sensible." He changed the subject.

"In the blink of an eye, my whole life has been spent in the palace, so I will find a successor as soon as possible, so as to inherit my mantle. In this palace, you can only live a long time by keeping your duty. ”

"What does Mr. Liu mean by this?" Qionghua is a rin.

"Look at what my aunt said, what can we mean by an old eunuch? Look at this kid, although he is honest, he rarely has no bad intentions. As long as you are good*, you will be able to serve your master well in time. So that our family can return. ”

The little eunuch's face was frightened, and his head was lowered.

Qiong Hua looked at Liu Xi sharply, and his smile became more and more kind.

"Mr. Liu, go and serve Your Majesty, and the slave will go back." Qiong Hua also smiled slightly, but this smile looked a little reluctant.

As soon as Qionghua left, Liu Xi knocked the little bolt's head twice with floating dust. "You kid, since you have followed our family, you should learn more and be more attentive, why are you so stupid!"

Although it looks like it hits hard, it doesn't hurt too much. The little bolt touched his head and giggled. "Godfather, the slave just looks at how good-looking this aunt is."

"What's the use of being good-looking, there will never be a shortage of good-looking people in the palace. Being alive is king! Manager Liu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was in a trance.

The little plug nodded vigorously. Fu added: "But the minion still thinks that His Majesty is the best-looking, and the minion has never seen such a good-looking person when he is so big." ”

He scratched his hat in embarrassment. "The slave is stupid, I don't know what to say, anyway, there is no one in the world who can compare to His Majesty."

Liu Xi smiled: "You! "What a silly boy!

The first emperor Wei Tao was a famous beautiful man in Eastern Chu, and Queen Ruan Ying was also a talented woman in the noble capital who was famous all over the world at that time. The two were a pair of beautiful people who were widely praised at the time, but the love in the world is always unable to withstand the stumbling of the world...

Of Wei Tao's five children, only the three princes were born by Concubine Yun, and the remaining two princes and two princesses were born from the main palace. The emperor's favor for the former queen can be seen from this. Among them, the fourth princess Wei Ning was the most favored by the first emperor, perhaps because her appearance was somewhat similar to the first queen, or because of the princess's youthful nature. Now no one knows.

Wei Ning was five years old when the emperor gave him the title Qingyi, which was the eldest princess and the same prince. Although he has a fief, he has always lived in the palace. Not to mention being by the emperor's side from the age of five, taught by him personally, and under the teacher of the then hot Li Jing University Scholar.

Manager Liu calmed his mind: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, take care of your mouth." ”

"I'll give you a chance, now go to the imperial dining room to pass breakfast for Your Majesty, the recipe is the same as yesterday, take this sign and show them, and the head of the imperial dining room will know."

The little plug took the sign and cracked his mouth to reveal his neat white teeth. "Then the slave will go now, godfather rest assured!"

"Don't talk to people casually, just come back when you get things done!"

"Got it!"

——————

Lanyue Pavilion is located in the southwest direction of the Qinzheng Hall directly behind the Jinluan Palace, and it is where Wei Ning lived when she was a princess. Although she was deeply favored by the emperor, the place where she lived was really not magnificent.

Just a two-storey wooden loft with a small yard. Fortunately, there were also a few houses in the courtyard, which could be used by rough maids and little eunuchs. The first floor of the attic is the princess's personal palace maid, the second floor is the princess's bedroom and study, and there are other places to play the piano and practice dance.

There are very few princesses in the palace who live in such a remote and humble place, and it is said that the fourth princess discovered this small attic with a courtyard while wandering around the palace. The princess got full marks for a month's homework with the princess, and the emperor agreed to give her the courtyard.

Although the place is remote and simple, it is better to have an elegant and chic layout inside.

Wei Ning stepped into the small courtyard, and the palace maid followed behind him. She waved her hand: "Peiyu and Liuzhu stay, and the rest go down!" ”

Suddenly, a faint fragrance leaked out, Da Xining paused, and when he looked up, he saw that the branches of the apricot tree in the small courtyard were already full of flowers.

"It turned out that the apricot blossoms were blooming." She finally showed a comfortable smile, like a wanderer who had finally found a place to return after trekking through mountains and rivers, and in an instant, it was like the warm sun at noon in winter, shining directly at people's hearts.

Peiyu and Liuzhu were stunned, His Majesty hadn't laughed for a long time.

Pei Yu said: "The apricot blossoms bloomed in March, and now it's April. His Majesty has been busy with the flood in Xuzhou, so he didn't notice it. ”

Wei Ning slightly hooked the corners of his lips. He's time to come back.

"I don't have to clean the yard these days." So saying, he went up to the attic.

"Yes." Peiyu and Liuzhu hurriedly followed.

The pink petals of the courtyard fell to the ground, and the earth covered the faint fragrance. Ants crawl around in it, but accidentally get lost because of the scent.

As soon as I entered the bedroom, a coquettish voice came, "Sister Huang!" Then, a white figure burst out.

Peiyu was timid, and screamed in fright before she could see it clearly. Liuzhu was also startled, and when she saw who it was, she grabbed Peiyu and saluted.

Wei Ning sat straight in front of the dresser with a straight face without moving.

"Peiyu, why are you so bold, you don't see Liuzhu being scared." Wei Yu smiled and stuck out his tongue.

Peiyu was about to open her mouth, but heard Wei Ning call her. went directly to Wei Ning's side.

At this time, the palace maid knocked on the door, and Ruzhu went to catch the hot water.

Peiyu served Wei Ning and took off the dragon robe, leaving only the middle coat inside. Fu took the dragon head jasper golden hairpin off Da Xining's hair bun and broke the bun.

Wei Yu was left to dry. I had to watch Liuzhu wait for Da Xining's clean face, and I didn't know what to say.

After Wei Ning didn't care about his face, Wei Yu snatched the face towel from Liuzhu's hand and handed it to Wei Ning.

Wei Ning wiped the water on her face with a face towel, and after washing away the lead, her ice muscles and jade bones were natural.

Wei Yu looked flattering: "Sister is so beautiful!" "Except for my sister, no one in the world can be called a beauty."

"What else do you know besides the poor mouth, do you think I don't know that you sneak out of the palace every day?" Wei Ning's eyes rose slightly.

"Imperial sister, don't you know everything!" Wei Yu hugged Wei Ning's arm and was coquettish.

Wei Ning brushed away her hand and sat on the couch: "I'm just turning a blind eye, you're still young, it's understandable that you're curious about the outside." But now you are becoming more and more presumptuous, and this time you dare to spend the night outside! ”

Wei Yu sat down next to Wei Ning and squeezed her shoulder. "How can I count myself spending the night outside, I'm in the Emperor's Uncle's Mansion."

"Jiahui! What the hell are you thinking? He is the younger brother of his father, the god of war of defending the country, the king of Changyang who was personally appointed by his father, and your imperial uncle! Wei Ning's face was gloomy.

"If someone knows about it and uses it, I don't know what rumors will come out! You're not a little girl anymore, you don't even know that! ”

"Sister Huang is thinking about me, I know in my heart that this is not coming back." Wei Yu is coquettish.

"So you don't want to come back yet?"

Wei Yan looked flattering: "How can there be!" ”

"Sister Huang, I didn't just go out to play, but also brought you something." The big palace maid behind Wei Yu handed her a bag of things.

Wei Yu took it and opened the paper bag, and inside was a handful of chestnuts. She pinched one and carefully peeled off the shell, then reached to Xi Ning's mouth.

"When I was a child, my sister always sneaked out and always brought me such a bag of chestnuts, and at that time I thought it was very delicious, and when I passed by the market in the morning, I suddenly remembered it, so I bought a pack. Imperial sister, can you try it? ”

Wei Ning's face softened a little. The chestnuts are still a little warm in the mouth, they should have been bought at the morning market before returning to the palace, and a sweet smell spreads in the mouth. She looked at this sister who had been spoiled by her since she was a child, and could only sigh lightly.

"Jiahui, I don't care what you're thinking in your head, you are not allowed to leave the palace from today onwards. I will let Aunt Qionghua teach you, and your half-hung female red and qin, chess, calligraphy and painting must be learned from her. In the past, it was the imperial sister who spoiled you too much. ”

"How can there be a royal princess who is as unlearned as you!"

Wei Ning looked a little tired: "Your marriage should also be decided." ”

Wei Yu's little face wrinkled, and he was about to cry. "Sister Huang, I'm only fifteen! It's still small! Anyway, I'll bring you chestnuts, how can this be! ”

"Cui Shangshu's daughter Nian Fang is fourteen, and Chen Taiwei's granddaughter is fifteen, and she just got married last month. In the people, you would have been a woman with your hair in a bun long ago. ”

Wei Yu was blocked and had nothing to say, crying with a sad face.

Suddenly there were two knocks on the door. Wei Ning: "Come in!" ”

Peiyu, after Liuzhu finished serving, she and Wei Yu's palace maid were imprisoned outside the door. It was Peiyu who came in, and she gave Shi Shiran a salute: "Your Majesty, Ah Zhao has something to report outside the door." ”

Wei Yu was a little puzzled: "Hasn't he been on the beam of the imperial sister's house all the time?" ”

Wei Ning was a little helpless, how could her dark guard leader leave such an impression on her sister. had to explain: "Ah Zhao also has other things to do. ”

"Let him in."
