Chapter 161: You have to learn to protect yourself
"Sister, do you believe Linlin?" Hua Jingyao asked seriously.
The third princess nodded, although the face in front of her was not different from the Linlin in her memory, but only the two sisters knew about hiding in the cage and sleeping and wetting the bed, since she could become the third princess, then Linlin could also become her.
Her memory ended when Linlin was seven years old.
She was fifteen years old at the time, and the following year she was preparing to get married.
"Okay, my sister believes me, and I'll let my sister see the ugliness in this world." I don't know when, Hua Jingyao no longer has a smile on her face, her voice is calm, revealing a calmness that does not match this body.
The third princess was stunned for a moment, and asked in a daze, "Why?" ”
After saying these three words, she lowered her head guiltily, she still didn't believe Linlin, maybe she didn't believe Linlin, but she didn't believe that Zhao Qian in Linlin's mouth was such a person.
Hua Jingyao became more determined in her thoughts, and she said: "In the last life, you were my sister and I was my sister, and you have always been taking care of me; In this life, I am a sister, and you have become a sister, so I want to protect you, but while I protect you, you have to learn to protect yourself. ”
The third princess suddenly raised her head, did she protect herself? What do you mean?
But Linlin is right, although they are also sisters now, they are different from their previous lives.
Hua Jingyao didn't speak again, she took the third princess's hand and walked outside the flower room.
When the two returned to the Queen Mother, Shen Xiao had already left, which made Hua Jingyao breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't want to see him at this time.
"Grandmother, the second cousin's body has never recovered, Yaoyao wants to visit him with the third princess, is it okay?" Hua Jingyao asked.
The Queen Mother then remembered that she hadn't seen the second prince Zhao Qian for a long time, what was going on with the child, by the way, it seemed that he was slightly injured when he went down to the river to bathe, yes, the emperor also said that it was a minor injury, it was not a big deal, but after such a long time, the injury should be healed.
"You two have a heart, Jiahui is in the palace with the mourning family all day long, I'm afraid it's stuffy, tomorrow you will go to the Second Prince's Mansion together." The Queen Mother agreed.
"Okay, then I'll go into the palace tomorrow to pick up the third princess, by the way, grandmother, can Jiahui often go out of the palace with me in the future?" Hua Jingyao asked again.
The queen mother suddenly remembered the eldest princess of Zhaoyang back then, Zhaoyang was also thinking about running out of the palace at that time, and was impeached by the imperial history for this, and the first emperor was also generous in this matter, and did not reprimand Zhaoyang, but added ten secret guards to Zhaoyang.
Zhaoyang picked up a horse for himself outside the palace, although he still reconciled and divorced later, but Zhaoyang was really happy at that time, and on the occasion of Hua Yukun's presence, Zhaoyang couldn't see anyone else in his eyes.
The queen mother's mouth also smiled, no matter how high or low her status is, the good life of her daughter's family is the years when she was a girl, once she gets married, even if she is the queen back then, she no longer has the ease when she was in her mother's house.
Yaoyao is twelve years old, and she will discuss marriage in two or three years, although Jiahui is only eight years old, but the days she has stayed in the palace are only six or seven years, these two are all raised by the mourning family, all of them are good children, let them go out of the palace to play, and they will not do anything out of the ordinary, besides, it's a big deal to choose a husband for yourself like Zhaoyang.
The queen mother's heart, which had long been tempered by the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, was not shocked at this time.
"Okay, but Jiahui is still young, you have to take Qingchun with you when you leave the palace, and wait for the mourning family to talk to the emperor, Jiahui should also have her own guards."
The princes and princesses all have guards, but the third princess is still young and has never been out of the palace before, so she has not been equipped with guards for the time being.
Hua Jingyao pulled the queen mother's sleeve and dangled it with joy, the third princess was stunned for a moment, and also pulled up the other sleeve of the queen mother in the same way as Hua Jingyao, the queen mother was made to cry and laugh by the two of them, and said to Hua Jingyao: "You little monkey, tell the mourning family, where are you going to take Jiahui to play?" ”
Hua Jingyao snapped her fingers like a few treasures: "Go to the colorful clothing workshop to make clothes, go to the gold and jade workshop to make jewelry, and go to the Dengshi Street to eat small stalls......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother: "No, it's just a matter of making clothes and jewelry, those roadside stalls can't be eaten, they will eat bad stomachs, Qingchun, you look at them, just say that the mourning family said, they are not allowed to eat in the small stalls......"
The next day, Hua Jingyao went into the palace to pick up the third princess and went to the second prince's mansion together.
On the way, Hua Jingyao asked the third princess: "Did the Queen Mother send someone to Stone Hutong to offer condolences?" ”
Yesterday was the second day of the funeral in the second room of the Shen family, and today is the third day, Hua Jingyao estimated that Master Shen and Second Master Shen should also come back.
The third princess lowered her voice and said, "After you left yesterday, the smile on the queen mother's face was gone, and she sat there alone for a while, and called Zhong Xiaocheng to go to the stone alley." ”
"Let Zhong Xiaocheng go? Not Huang Gonggong? Hua Jingyao asked.
"Yes, it's Zhong Xiaocheng, you think it's weird." The third princess said slowly, looking like a little adult.
is also a eunuch in the inner country, but it is divided into three, six, nine and so on.
When Shen Xiao came back, the emperor sent Gonggong Lao to the door, and since the emperor can remember, Gonggong Lao has been with him, and the emperor asked him to visit Shen Xiao, which shows his affection for Shen Xiao.
In the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the chief eunuch is Huang Gonggong, and the Empress Dowager transmits the decree or sends rewards to the meritorious home of the emperor's relatives, all of which are Huang Gonggong's appearance, and that Zhong Xiaocheng is just a messenger in the Cining Palace to the twenty-four yamen to run errands.
The third princess added: "When Zhong Xiaocheng was ordered to go out, Liu Nushi stopped him and asked him to go to the Huanyi Bureau by the way to get back the clothes sent for weaving. ”
Among the twenty-four yamen, only the Huanyi Bureau was not in the palace, so Zhong Xiaocheng was really by the way.
Shen Yao saw that the person who came was just a low-grade servant, and he was afraid that he would throw the whip again.
Of course, she didn't dare to throw the whip at Zhong Xiaocheng.
"Xiao Ai, you don't have to follow us to the Second Prince's Mansion, you take the snacks you just brought out of the palace and go to the Stone Hutong, just say it's for Second Miss Shen."
Xiao Ai responded, and at this time, the third princess asked Hua Jingyao: "Do you know that second girl Shen?" ”
Hua Jingyao said: "I just met yesterday, only ten years old, the eldest aunt and grandmother of the Shen family have a great temper, and the second girl Shen is not having a good time, and the scar on her face that was whipped by the eldest aunt and grandmother has not disappeared." ”
"That being the case, then ......" The third princess thought for a while, called Qingchun, and said, "Auntie arrange to bring two boxes of jade cream to Xiao Ai." ”
Yurong ointment is a miraculous medicine for the treatment of scars, because the medicinal materials used are difficult to find, so only a few dozen boxes can be made every year, and all of them are left in the palace.
When Qingchun heard this, he called two guards, took Xiao Ai into the palace to get medicine, and then sent Xiao Ai to the stone alley.
