Chapter 23: The Arrival of the Two Kings

When Xia Jinse came out, the second prince Lan Hongzhuo was talking to Xia Yanxiu.

She was not particularly dressed, she was wearing a light lotus-colored skirt, no fat powder, and she still only wore the green jade plum hairpin, and Shi Shiran walked out. Although there is no strip of cloth on his face, the scars are still there, like an ugly big centipede.

"I've seen my father, I've seen the second prince." Xia Jinse gave a salute.

At this time, she has become accustomed to saluting when she sees people, although it is a little troublesome, but she follows the customs of the locals.

Xia Yanxiu said with a smile on his face: "Jin Se, the second prince made a special trip to send the reward of the Jade Concubine, and I am not happy to thank you." ”

Xia Jinse is not uncommon in rewards, but he can only salute again.

Before she could bend her knees, Lan Hongzhuo spoke: "Miss Xia doesn't need to be polite, please get up." ”

Taking advantage of the opportunity, as soon as Xia Jinse raised his head, he saw the appearance of the second prince clearly.

looks five or six points similar to Emperor Yuanqing, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, handsome and handsome, and the smile is even more like a spring breeze, and I have a good feeling. He was wearing a dark black dress, with gold piping embroidered on the sleeves and hem, which set off his figure like a hanger, and his bearing was detached.

In her previous life, she saw too many fresh meat stars, and Xia Jinse had more self-control than all the girls in this time and space, not to mention that the current situation was special, she only said lightly: "Thank you for the reward of Concubine Yu, thank you to the second prince." With that, he stood aside.

When Lan Hongzhuo saw Xia Jinse's face, his eyelids twitched.

But his face changed slightly, and with a slight gesture, the entourage beside him took a brocade box and came out.

Lan Hongzhuo opened the box, put a jade bottle on the table, and said with a smile: "Miss Xia, this is the hibiscus pearl cream that the mother concubine specially asked this king to bring, beauty and skin care, which is particularly effective on scars." ”

Xia Yanxiu hurriedly said: "Thank you so much for Concubine Yu, Niangniang has a heart, after the second prince goes back, thank you to Concubine Yuniang on behalf of the lower officials." ”

Xia Jinse said: "Thank you for your concern, but the injury on the courtier's face has already seen the doctor, and it can't be better." ”

Lan Hongzhuo smiled lightly: "This hibiscus pearl paste works very well, Miss Xia might as well try it." ”

"Can it really be good?" She looked at Lan Hongzhuo.

"This ......" Where does Lan Hongzhuo dare to guarantee it? He's not a doctor.

At this moment, a delicate and gentle voice sounded: "Father, mother asked her daughter to ask, wait for ......"

Xia Mengyao walked in dressed as a flowery branch, and before she finished speaking, suddenly she seemed to see that there was someone next to her, and quickly showed a shy and coquettish look, and said with flickering eyelashes: "It turns out that the second prince is also here!" The courtier, Xia Mengyao, has seen the second prince. ”

After some pretentious acting, Xia Jinse almost rolled his eyes when he watched it.

In order to meet the second prince, she actually deliberately made excuses, as long as the other party was not a fool, she could see the spring and pretense in her eyes. It's just too hard, and the winking eyes are thrown like eye cramps, so I almost didn't pounce directly.

Lan Hongzhuo's cheeks twitched, and he said embarrassedly: "This is ......"

"Let the second prince smile, this is Weichen's third daughter Meng Yao." Xia Yanxiu almost didn't let her go back, so eager, how could she have the reserve and elegance of her daughter's family? It's a shame!

But he knows the temper of the third daughter, and he is infatuated with the second prince to the extreme, if he really drives her away, he is afraid that she may make a fuss on the spot.

Xia Yan straightened his face and asked Xia Mengyao to sit next to Xia Jinse. She walked over step by step, her movements were standard, twisting her waist to send her hips, and moving lightly. But in just a few steps, Xia Jinse sat down before she walked to the chair.

"Third sister, sit down, don't be awkward." Xia Jinse forced a smile and held back a little hard.

"Sister Xie." Xia Mengyao spoke softly, and she was like two people in peacetime.

Afraid that Xia Mengyao would say something again, Xia Yanxiu hurriedly talked to Lan Hongzhuo. Xia Jinse didn't interject, just listened quietly, nothing more than some greetings and formulaic politeness, which made her want to doze off.

"Miss Xia has just returned to the capital, and I think I haven't visited the scenery of the capital yet."

Suddenly, Lan Hongzhuo changed the topic and talked about Xia Jinse: "The peony flowers in the mother's garden are blooming, and I am going to hold a flower viewing party after a while, I don't know if Miss Xia is free, you can take a look." ”

Xia Jinse was a little flattered, did this Jade Concubine Niangniang thank her for saving the emperor, or did she fall in love with her and prepare to make her a daughter-in-law?

After all, there is still the marriage book, even if she doesn't care, maybe others don't care!

"This ......" Xia Jinse didn't know whether to refuse or not.

"I heard that there are seventy-two different kinds of peony flowers planted in the peony garden of the Jade Concubine Niangniang, which can be described as the national color and fragrance, and the garden of the entire capital is not as good as the scenery of the Niangniang Peony Garden!"

Xia Mengyao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she opened her mouth to interject, and the previous elegance suddenly disappeared: "Second prince, can the courtiers also go with the eldest sister?" ”

Xia Yanxiu frowned: "Meng Yao, the Jade Concubine invited your eldest sister......

"Xia Xiang, the mother concubine likes to be lively, if the third lady is willing, it is okay to come together." Lan Hong Zhuo said.

"Great, thank you Second Prince." Xia Mengyao couldn't close her mouth with joy, her heart was ecstatic, and she could only hold back desperately.

Be reserved, she has to be reserved!

When she goes to the cherry blossom viewing party, she will definitely perform well at that time.

After a while, Lan Hongzhuo said goodbye and left, and told Xia Jinse again before leaving, so that Xia Jinse remembered to use the hibiscus pearl paste. But Xia Mengyao heard it, her eyes stared at the jade bottle, and she didn't blink her eyes.

Xia Jinse didn't care, and went back to Begonia Garden with his things.

Mu Xiang was surprised when she saw that Miss had brought something back: "Even the second prince has sent a gift to Miss?" ”

"Who knows what he thinks? Maybe I'm blind. ”

Xia Jinse didn't think that the second prince would like her, the two only met for the first time, even if she saved the emperor, it was impossible for the second prince to have feelings for her.

The royal family only has marriage, no love, she knows it very well.

"Miss, how can you say that about the second prince? Look at this hibiscus pearl paste, it was specially given by the Jade Concubine, which shows that the Jade Concubine has a heart. Mu Xiang was innocent and kind, and looked at the jade bottle curiously.

"Put it away, I don't need it." She still uses her own scar removal cream, which feels more reliable.

Xia Jinse didn't care, in the Wind Lotus Garden, Xia Mengyao was jealous.

"It must be that when she went to the palace to treat the emperor, she took the opportunity to seduce the second prince, otherwise how could the second prince send her hibiscus pearl cream?" Thinking of the second prince's gentle advice just now, she went crazy with jealousy.

The second prince is hers, how can she let someone else take it away?

Xia Ruxue spoke softly, with a bit of deep meaning: "I heard that hibiscus pearl paste is a tribute, and the beauty is excellent, and only the jade concubine in the palace has been given by the emperor, not even the queen." ”

The implication is that the Jade Concubine Niangniang sent such a valuable thing to Xia Jinse, I am afraid that she has a heart for her.

"Ah-why did the Jade Concubine fall in love with her, why did she!" Xia Mengyao shouted.

"She saved the emperor, understand?"

Afraid that her daughter would go to Xia Jinse to make trouble again, Zhao grabbed her and asked her to sit down and calm down: "Didn't Concubine Yu take a fancy to her, didn't you see the scar on her face?" On the day of the flower viewing party, Niangniang saw Xia Jinse with her own eyes, and she was not interested in her. ”

Xia Mengyao calmed down a little: "That's right!" The second prince invited me to go to the flower viewing party, and when the time comes, I will definitely make the Jade Concubine and the second prince like me. ”

Who knew that in the afternoon, the housekeeper came to report again, saying that the eldest prince was also here, and he also wanted to see Xia Jinse.

At this time, even Xia Ruxue couldn't sit still: "Why is the eldest prince here?" ”

The eldest prince is her favorite future husband, and she actually came for Xia Jinse, could it be that the future princess really wants to fall on Xia Jinse's head?

Xia Yanxiu hurriedly greeted him out, and sure enough, he saw that Lan Jingcheng not only came in person, but also brought a lot of gifts, saying that it was given to Xia Jinse by the queen, and thanked her for saving her father.

"The queen mother is really polite, the little girl knows a little about medicine, it is her honor to save the emperor, she can't deserve the queen's thanks, and she bothers the prince to run in person." He also couldn't figure it out, could it be that the queen also paid attention to Xia Jinse?

Xia Jinse was about to take a lunch break, and when he heard that someone was coming, he could only change his clothes and come out.

She saw that the gift brought by the eldest prince turned out to be a set of gold utensils, not only was it tacky, but it was exquisitely made.

This set of gold heads is in the shape of a peacock, inlaid with rubies, which are a pair of hairpins, a pair of step shakes, a pair of earrings, a pair of bracelets, and a pair of necklaces, a total of nine pieces, a total of ninety-nine, which can only be worn by people in the royal family.

Xia Jinse didn't understand this, but Xia Yanxiu knew, and he was even more shocked when he saw it.

"This is too precious, the little girl just did her part, how can she afford such a valuable thing?" Xia Yanxiu hurriedly excused himself.

Lan Jingcheng smiled faintly and nodded at Xia Jinse: "Since the queen mother sent out this set of heads, the eldest lady can afford it." The queen mother also said that the fifth day of the next month is the daughter's day, and the daughters of the ministers are invited to enter the palace to play, and the eldest lady must come. ”

Xia Jinse's heart sighed, the fifth day of the next month?

Didn't it happen to be the Jade Concubine's flower-viewing party that day, and the queen invited her to the palace to play, how could she have a doppelganger?

Xia Yanxiu also thought of it, and just helped Xia Jinse excuse himself, but Lan Jingcheng said: "Actually...... The queen mother wants to see the eldest lady, and there is something else to ask for. The queen mother is a little unwell, she has seen the doctor, and she is still illegal, the eldest lady has excellent medical skills, can you diagnose and treat the queen mother? ”

When this reason is said, Xia Jinse can't think about it.

You can't give the emperor a rule, and when it's the queen's turn, she won't say it's, right? No matter what, we have to see if we can cure it.

"In that case, then I will definitely go then." Xia Jinse could only say.

After the eldest prince left, Xia Ruxue came out, only glanced at his distant back, and was already intoxicated.

She has always cherished her reputation, and she will never be as reckless as Xia Mengyao, knowing that the eldest prince came to find Xia Jinse, although she was very anxious, she would not show up easily.

The first impression is very important, today's eldest prince's mind is on Xia Jinse, no matter how well she performs, she can only be reduced to a foil.

But on the fifth day of the next month, she will definitely not miss it!

Only Xia Jinse was secretly worried, on the fifth day of the next lunar month, should she go to the flower viewing party of the Jade Concubine or the garden party of the queen mother? And I have to diagnose the queen's mother, so I can't go without it.

If only she had a doppelganger.
