Chapter 20: The Nine Princesses.

Jiang Yanran never expected the turnaround to come so quickly.

When Mama Liu gathered these undrafted girls together, she announced that she would divide them to serve the nobles in various palaces, including the Chaoxia Palace at the Ninth Princess.

Jiang Yanran stood in the crowd, full of joy.

Therefore, when Yunyan, the personal palace maid next to the ninth princess, came to choose someone, Jiang Yanran was the first and only one to stand up and express her willingness to go to Chaoxia Palace to serve.

Yunyan's face was a little bad, and he smiled reluctantly and said to Jiang Yanran: "Hurry up and clean up, Her Royal Highness the princess is still waiting!"

Jiang Yanran saluted.

"This Jiang Shimo is not a fool, knowing that the ninth princess is going to kiss, he is willing to go over to serve her. ”

Jiang Yanran packed up and was leaving, and when she left, someone behind her whispered and laughed.

She sneered and shook her head in her heart: Zifei knows the joy of fish?

Chaoxia Palace is very magnificent, divided into the front and back of the palace and the inner and outer courtyards, the magnificent dress is the only one Jiang Yanran has seen in her life, and it is enough to see the favor of the ninth princess from every subtlety.

Under the guidance of Yunyan, Jiang Yanran walked into the main hall, and the ninth princess was sitting upright, wearing a glass brocade skirt, wearing a jasper hairpin, and her eyebrows were attached to the yellow flowers, with a delicate and gorgeous face and a noble temperament.

"The slave maid Shen Jin has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an. ”

Jiang Yanran knelt on her knees and saluted.

Liu Xiyue waved her hand to let Jiang Yanran get up, she looked Jiang Yanran up and down, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and two pear vortices loomed on her cheeks.

"Everyone avoids me, but you prefer Hushan to invite yourself into my palace. I don't know what your purpose is, but I understand this intention. ”

Jiang Yanran didn't dare to say anything.

Then she said: "Once you enter the Chaoxia Palace, you must abide by the rules of this palace, you are a daughter of a family, you must be literate and hyphenated, so help me take care of the study!"

Jiang Yanran hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Highness Xie trusts, the slave and maid must fulfill their duties and not pay His Highness's trust." ”

Liu Xiyue's eyebrows tactfully, and she smiled slightly and said to Yun Yan beside her: "Look, it's still a well-behaved and polite person." ”

Seeing this, Yunyan hurriedly took out a purse and threw it to Jiang Yanran: "Thank you for the reward?"

Jiang Yanran was busy thanking, and she said: "Our Chaoxia Palace is the most comfortable, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the kindest person in this palace, and you will naturally know it after a long time." ”

......

The Ninth Princess is indeed a kind and tolerant person. Jiang Yanran has been in Chaoxia Palace for half a month, but she has only seen the Ninth Princess once at the beginning, and the rest of the time she stays in Chaoxia Palace to take care of the study.

The daily work is not too tiring, just wipe the ashes and tidy up the bookshelf.

This study room is full of historical classics, but I haven't seen the ninth princess read it once, when Jiang Yanran didn't come, there was no one here, and now only Jiang Yanran occasionally flips through it to pass the time, and the days are actually leisurely.

On this day, Jiang Yanran made a cup of weak tea as usual, sat in front of the window steps, and watched it with relish in her hand.

Unexpectedly, the ninth princess, who was still full of interest in the morning to attend the spring banquet, came back angrily, and went straight to the study.

As soon as she saw Jiang Yanran, she snorted and said, "You are leisurely, and your life is comfortable." ”

Jiang Yanran hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Liu Xiyue had just been angry with the Xie clan at the spring banquet, and she couldn't help but rush a little, seeing Jiang Yanran so frightened and frustrated, she hurriedly said: "Get up, I don't mean to blame you." ”

Saying that, she sat down on the concubine, and as soon as she sat down, Yunyan hurriedly ran in, panting and said, "Your Highness, why do you have to go so fast, the slave and maid will not be able to keep up with you." ”

Jiang Yanran hurriedly handed over the freshly brewed tea, and Yunyan took a few sips before slowing down.

Liu Xiyue knew that she was at a loss, "Good Yunyan, I have worked hard for you, I was wrong." ”

You are the princess but apologized to a little maidservant, Jiang Yanran looked at it and smacked her tongue.

Yunyan sighed and said, "Your Highness, you shouldn't be sorry to the slave maid. You are in such a hurry, if you accidentally bump into something, the saddest thing is the concubine. ”

"It's not all that Xie Huarong! made such a pitiful look, as if I had bullied her, and it was in front of Brother Yuan. ”

"Alas-" Liu Xiyue sighed as she spoke, her anger did not disappear, she held her head listlessly with her hands, and said gloomily: "Now Brother Yuan ignores me." ”

Yun Yan was distressed, and said indignantly: "Your Highness, don't ignore that fox of the Xie family, she will just deceive those ignorant Langjun, you and General He have been friends since childhood, how can you get into trouble with you because of her? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yanran instantly pricked up her ears.

"But today Brother Yuan is angry with me, just because I didn't answer the question about three in and three out. He also said that I don't know how to learn and fool around every day. The more Liu Xiyue thought about it, the more sad she became: "I also want to be a talented woman like Xie Ronghua, but I just feel sleepy when I see the book!"

Yunyan even complained to He Yuan now, "General He really knows that you are at odds with the Xie family, but he wants to help her speak, doesn't this make Your Highness sad!"

"That's right! He did it on purpose. "The Ninth Princess is even more sad.

It seems that these nine princesses are indeed in love with General He, Jiang Yanran was thoughtful. Seeing that the master and servant were about to hug each other and cry bitterly, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I think General He is deliberately comforting you!"

Liu Xiyue raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yanran, "What do you mean?"

"Listen to me tell you the story of the three in and three out. Jiang Yanran smiled and told the story.

There was once a Su girl, who was extremely beautiful and attracted many families to ask for marriage. Among them, there is a Li surnamed Langjun from a poor family, who thinks that he has learned and has always been very disliked by this Su family, and one day he deliberately made a title difficult for Su Shi, but he was unexpectedly answered correctly by Su Shi's clever words, so Li surnamed Langjun was disgusted with Su and wanted to marry him. Su didn't want to marry and deliberately embarrassed Li surnamed Lang Jun said: "Lang Jun once made a question to embarrass me, but the concubine has three questions that have not been very satisfying, if Lang Jun answers correctly, the concubine will marry." ”

Lang Jun, surnamed Li, hurriedly agreed, but Su's three questions are famous for the ages, and there is no answer so far.

Li Langjun did not give up, he looked for answers everywhere, ran everywhere, and every time he found an answer, he ran into Su's house and happily told him, and finally Su was moved by his persistence and married him.

"Here's where the story comes from. ”

Liu Xiyue still didn't understand, and she was at a loss.

Jiang Yanran said: "Your Highness, General He is using this to inspire you." Do you think, why did Su marry Li Langjun in the end? Because he is persistent and does not give up easily, General He also wants you to continue to work hard without giving up your studies. ”

Liu Xiyue suddenly realized, and she became happy again: "In this case, Brother Nayuan doesn't hate me?"

Yunyan nodded gratefully at Jiang Yanran and hurriedly interjected to affirm: "What Yanran said is reasonable, just say it, what does General He have to do with you, how can she Xie Ronghua compare!"

Liu Xiyue snorted and said, "You are an afterthought, and you still know a lot." ”

Jiang Yanran hurriedly said: "Your Highness praised it, Yanran only skimmed a few books, and it was a coincidence that there was this allusion recorded in it." ”

"That's also very powerful, I can't do it, I have a headache when I see a book. ”

Yunyan didn't mind, seeing that Liu Xiyue was refreshed, her mood also improved, and she joked: "Princess, General He will let you go up and not give up!"

Liu Xiyue said helplessly: "Yes, isn't it just to study hard, I know, I'll go back to class tomorrow!"
