Chapter 7: Morning
Xu saw He Wan with a smile on her face, and the little maid holding the lacquer case blushed blushing blushing and said: "The county lord is really the most beautiful person the maid has ever seen, it is the third lady of the Jiang family, and no county lord is good-looking." ”
He Wan was also a little shy when she was praised, and she asked curiously: "Is the third miss of the Jiang family very beautiful?" ”
The little maid was very excited when she saw He Wan talking to her, and nodded and shook her head again and again, "She is the first beauty in the capital, but the county lord is here, and she can only rank second." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qingzhi and the other little maids in the room laughed, and He Wan also pursed her lips and smiled, as if her face was stained with a layer of rouge.
Qingzhi waited for her to get dressed, and helped her to sit in front of the mirror.
She glanced at the maid headed by the ornaments, and the maid came out obediently with the ornaments and saluted He Wan.
"County Lord, this girl's name is Lingyin, and she is the best at combing her hair." Qingzhi Road.
"The servant has seen the county lord."
He Wan looked at her a few times.
With round eyes and thin eyebrows, slightly blunt lips, a round face and a slightly chubby face, he looks honest and honest, not like a person with a heart.
He Wan nodded, "Then you can comb my hair." ”
Ling Yin happily said "hey", stepped forward to put the lacquer case on the dresser, carefully picked up a jade comb on the table, and combed He Wan's hair.
She combed He Wan with a split bun, her pair of skillful hands turned over and combed, the style of the silk was particularly good-looking, and after combing, she chose a few bright and round pearl hairpins, and a purple palace flower pinned between the hair.
Without waiting for He Wan to sigh at this delicate bun, Lingyin painted her with some begonia-colored lip grease and a thin layer of rouge, and picked a pair of red jade bracelets and a pair of colorful glazed earrings for her to bring
After cleaning up, He Wan stood in front of the mirror on the ground and looked at herself in a trance.
The crimson skirt, the purple collared blouse, and the large-sleeved kaftan covered with two layers of floor-length tulle, each garment was embroidered with gold and silver threads, which sparkled.
And no matter how luxurious this dress is, when worn on her body, it can only be reduced to a foil. The person in the mirror has red lips and bright teeth, bright eyes, and a beautiful face. Her every move, every smile and smile was full of nobility, as if she was born to live in this splendid pavilion.
The maids serving on the side were also stunned, if the real person relied on clothes and horses to rely on the saddle, although the county lord was born well, but he couldn't do without tidying up, look at this modification, it is really a noble girl in Beijing can not compare.
"Does the county lord pass the meal?" Qingzhi asked with a smile as she looked at the person in the mirror.
He Wan came back to her senses and smiled: "Okay." ”
After all, she is a little girl, and as soon as she dresses up, her mood is much better, and the haze that covers her heart gradually dissipates a little.
Seeing that the county lord of his own house was happy, the people who were serving around him naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and they became happy.
Qingzhi arranged everything in an orderly manner, and saluted He Wan: "Breakfast has been arranged in the side hall, and I invite the county lord to move." ”
He Wan looked at Qingzhi's straight waist, doing things clearly and quickly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the maids in this palace are different, they can't help but have a first-class appearance and temperament, and they are also very stable and reliable, no wonder everyone says that they would rather marry everyone's maids than marry a little girl!
He Wan suddenly remembered Xing'er, she looked around and found that Xing'er was standing in a small corner, looking at her pitifully.
Apricot is younger than her, but she looks like she is nine or ten years old, like a bean sprout, and her two apricot eyes are watery.
When I arrived at the palace last night, Qingzhi wanted to lead Xing'er to the back room to rest, but Xing'er shed tears, and had to follow He Wan's side, He Wan couldn't bear it, so she let her stay by her side, Qingzhi blocked, this is not a rule, and finally took a step back and let Xing'er sleep outside the vigil, this morning, but found that Xing'er was like a small pet, shrinking at the foot of her bed.
She suddenly felt very guilty in her heart, she was clothed and fed, and the stars and moons were arching, but she left Xing'er aside, and she hurriedly ordered: "Qingzhi, you can help Xing'er arrange a place to live." ”
Qingzhi nodded, responded generously, turned his head and ordered the maid below to take Xing'er down.
Xing'er looked back at He Wan step by step, like a little stray dog.
He Wan smiled at her soothingly, and Xing'er was a little relieved.
Everything was arranged, and He Wan went to the side hall with Qingzhi for dinner.
The breakfast in the palace is very rich, water chestnut baked cakes, chaos, noodle soup, all kinds of side dishes, crystal xiaolongbao, eight-treasure porridge, bird's nest porridge, it is simply what you want.
Before eating, Qingzhi brought the bird's nest porridge to He Wan first, and said softly: "This bird's nest is the most beautiful and nourishing body, the county lord can taste it and eat it habitually, if it is good, the maid will let the kitchen make it in the morning and evening, and eat a bowl before eating, which is better for the body." ”
He Wan took two bites, which was not bad.
In her cognition, bird's nest is something that only nobles can afford.
It's just that I don't know, is this bird's nest intended by King Yong, or is it a common thing for everyone in the palace to eat it?
As if she had no intention, she casually asked, "Do the princesses and the sisters in the palace like to eat bird's nest?" ”
Qingzhi didn't know how to speak, she frowned slightly and thought for a while, before she said: "The princess eats, the county lord of Wen'an also eats, and the county lord of Qingping rarely eats." ”
Seeing that He Wan's eyes were full of confusion, she paused, thinking that the county lord didn't know what was going on in the mansion, she bent down and explained to He Wan in a low voice: "The prince now has only one wife, the Wang family, and one concubine, the Lu family, but Mrs. Wang is a madman with a problem with her head. ”
He Wan was surprised: "Why? ”
Qingzhi shook his head, "The maid doesn't know. She continued: "The prince has a total of three daughters, you and the county lord of Wen'an are all from the princess, and the county lord of Qingping is from Mrs. Wang. ”
He Wan said strangely: "The princess is my biological mother? ”
Qingzhi shook his head, "This servant really doesn't know, the prince recorded you in the princess's name, so naturally you are the princess's daughter." ”
He Wan lowered her eyes, it seems that the princess is not her biological mother, if it is really a biological mother, the child who has been lost since childhood has finally been recovered, how can she be as safe as Mount Tai and not come to take a look? My own flesh and blood have suffered a lot, how can I not pity and feel distressed as a mother?
After breakfast, Qingzhi helped her, followed by seven or eight maids, and went to Princess Yong's courtyard.
Yongwang's Mansion is very large, it was already dark when He Wan entered the mansion yesterday, and she walked straight to her yard for a while, she was already very tired, even if there were lanterns lit everywhere in the mansion, she didn't have the heart to look around.
This morning went to greet the princess, and it was the first time He Wan clearly saw some of the gorgeous scenery in King Yong's mansion.
