Chapter 297: The Princess's Apology
Hearing Lan Beichen say this, Xia Jinse also became interested, she had never been to the scene to watch fireworks before, but she had the opportunity to see it with her own eyes tonight, and it cost 100,000 taels of silver to prepare, it must be very shocking.
Two hours later, the palace banquet ended, and hundreds of officials left the palace one after another, Xia Jinse and Lin Qian hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they went to a secluded place and said a few words, but they didn't see Ji Wushuang, which was a little strange.
"Wushuang seems to be sick, so he didn't come to the palace banquet today."
Lin Qianyi said: "I went to see her, but her appetite was affected by the cold and she couldn't eat. Originally, I wanted to ask Jin Se to show her, but Wushuang said that he wouldn't disturb you and the Ninth Prince's new marriage, so forget it. ”
Xia Jinse complained: "Look at what you said, you won't tell me if Wushuang is sick, and you have to chase me to find out." Look at the illness and don't delay the time, you are so particular, I think that when you are married, you will not have time to move around with me. ”
"I'm really embarrassed to disturb your newlywed Yan'er."
Lin Qianyi looked at Lan Beichen on the side, and saw that he didn't mind at all, just waited patiently beside him, a little envious and surprised: "Jin Se, the Ninth Prince is so good to you, he actually accompanied you to gossip with me." If Wushuang could find someone as patient and good as the Nine Princes, how could he be upset. ”
"What's the matter, Wushuang has seen her at home again?" Xia Jinse asked.
I haven't seen her for more than half a month, maybe a lot of things have happened, but she doesn't know what happened to the Xiaoyao Mansion.
Lin Qianyi didn't seem to know, only frowned a little and said: "During the Chinese New Year this time, there are many things at home, relatives come and go, I only went to see Wushuang once." She was a little annoyed, so she mentioned it to me without going into details. ”
Xia Jinse nodded and said: "That's probably it, in this way, after the New Year, let's go see her, and ask her to find a way when the time comes." If she has someone she likes, then it's best, otherwise, she can't force herself to marry. ”
Lin Qian also became happy, pinching the pigtails on his sideburns and said with a smile: "That's good, Mrs. Shizi likes you very much, if you go and talk about it, Wushuang will definitely not have to be wronged." ”
"You too, when do you have someone you like, tell me!" Xia Jinse shaved her face.
"Ahaha, that's for sure!" Lin Qian also laughed without mind.
made an appointment for a visit after the New Year, and the two reluctantly left.
When she left, Lan Beichen came over, and Xia Jinse asked him, "Why, it's so interesting to listen to us girls?" ”
Lan Beichen glanced at her: "If it weren't for you, you think I would wait?" ”
That's right, Xia Jin pulled his hand and smiled at him: "Thank you, I want to play with the Nine Princes, that's my big face." Don't you still want to go to the emperor, do you want me to accompany you? ”
Lan Beichen was just about to speak, when suddenly someone from the palace came over and saluted the two: "I've seen the Nine Princes, the Nine Princesses." Princess Yuyan has something to talk to the Nine Princes, so she asks the Nine Princes to move to the Imperial Wind Pavilion, where the princess is waiting. ”
"Don't have time, you let the princess go back."
Lan Beichen didn't even think about it,
Directly took Xia Jinse to leave.
The palace maid panicked, and hurriedly said, "Nine princes, wait!" The princess said that if the princess is not free, then the princess will go the same. ”
Xia Jinse didn't care what Princess Yuyan was looking for her, anyway, it was nothing good, and said lightly: "I'm not free, you tell the princess not to wait, it's cold, it's not good to be sick." ”
"Nine princesses, the princess said that it was about making peace with Aesop, if the ninth prince and the ninth princess don't see her, the princess will keep waiting, and she won't give up until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Xia Jinse frowned, this Princess Yuyan is really, she never cares whether others want it or not, and she will always be so willful. If they really don't go, according to her temperament, I'm afraid that she will really wait for a day and a night, and then she will freeze out some kind of disease, and it will be troublesome again.
"Forget it, aren't you going to see the emperor? Then you go to Zichen Hall first, and I'll go see the princess. Xia Jinse said helplessly.
"No, either go together or neither." Lan Beichen directly objected.
If it was someone else, he didn't care about anything, but he knew Princess Yuyan's temper, and he was only worried about hurting Xia Jinse.
"The princess has said that it is related to Aesop and her relatives, I still want to go and have a look, accompanied by chasing clouds and shooting the moon, and Mo Yan, you can rest assured." Xia Jinse comforted him that it was okay, although Princess Yuyan regarded her as an enemy, she wouldn't hide for the rest of her life, right?
The precautions are so strict, no matter how scared she is, doesn't it mean that she is really afraid of Princess Yuyan?
Lan Beichen hesitated again and again, seeing that she was resolute, and then advised: "That's okay, don't stay long, come back after speaking, I'll wait for you at the imperial brother's place." After speaking, he whispered in Xia Jinse's ear: "Half an hour at most, otherwise you see that this king will not bring someone to arrest you." ”
Xia Jinse smiled: "I know." ”
Seeing Lan Beichen leaving, she said to the palace maid, "Lead the way." ”
Along the corridor, zigzag walked for a while, there was no snow today, no wind, the sun was faint and the weather was good. Although Xia Jinse has entered the palace many times, she has not walked the entire palace, she has never heard of this Yufeng Pavilion, and only when she arrives does she know that it is a pavilion on a rockery in the imperial garden.
Chasing clouds and shooting the moon protected Xia Jinse from left to right, although they didn't hear any sounds around them, Xia Jinse knew that Mo Yan must be nearby. He is a dragon guard, and he is allowed to enter the palace freely, otherwise he would have been discovered by the patrolling forbidden army if he changed the courtyard of the people raised by other courtiers.
On the rockery, Xia Jinse saw the Yufeng Pavilion clearly.
The vermilion hexagonal pavilion, six palm-sized copper bells are hung on the eaves, there is a wind blowing in the high place, and the sound of the copper bells is melodious and pleasant, so it is called 'resisting the wind'. The pavilion is very large, there is a stone table in the middle, two palace maids are waiting in front of the pavilion, and a red-clothed beauty is sitting in it.
This red-clothed beauty is naturally Princess Yuyan, but she is not alone, and there is a girl in pink clothes sitting next to her.
This wind pavilion has been arranged a long time ago, surrounded by bamboo curtains to block the wind, and there is a charcoal basin in the pavilion, although it is an outer room, it is not cold. On the contrary, in the high place of the rockery, the air is fresh, and you can also look at the scenery in the distance, which is a unique taste.
Princess Yuyan was facing Xia Jin
Se, the bright red daze makes her look dazzling and bright, full of pearls, and exquisite makeup, which can be called the national color and fragrance. But there was a sharp edge in his eyes, and when he saw her appear, he suddenly became on guard like a wild wolf with a fried hair.
Xia Jinse hooked the corners of her lips, didn't she take the initiative to meet Princess Yuyan, so she needed to be so guarded?
It's like you're going to kill her!
The girl in pink was quite indifferent, with a shallow smile on her face, and stood up first, the two pearl earrings next to her ears swayed, setting off her skin like snow, noble and elegant.
"I've seen the Nine Princesses." The girl in pink bowed, respectful and a little alienated.
It took Xia Jinse to recognize her when he got closer, isn't this Nan Shuxuan, the eldest granddaughter of Nanguo Gong, the lord of Rongle County?
She was thinking about whose daughter actually got close to Princess Yuyan, it turned out to be Nan Shuxuan. Now that she is engaged to the second prince, she and Princess Yuyan are future concubines, and it is normal for the two to intersect.
"I've seen the Nine Princesses." The two palace maids greeted Xia Jinse and opened the curtain to let her in.
Xia Jinse stood at the door of the pavilion and said lightly: "Hello County Lord Rongle, I didn't expect you to be with the princess, I don't know if there is anything I have to come?" When she spoke, Shooting Moon stayed outside, chasing clouds and following her, without relaxation.
This is the place chosen by Princess Yuyan, there are two palace maids alone, and there are two more in the pavilion, so the two of them have to pay more attention.
Seeing Xia Jinse's detached appearance, Princess Yuyan snorted and laughed lightly: "You are so afraid that I will eat you, you don't even dare to come and sit down?" Don't worry, I have a request for you, I won't do anything to you today, don't worry. ”
With such an attitude, is it still called asking for her?
Xia Jinse didn't have much research on people with manic depression like Princess Yuyan, and only roughly knew that people with this disease were easily agitated. Usually seems normal, even optimistic and positive, but once it has an attack, it will not only hurt others and hurt oneself, but even can't control the behavior at all.
Princess Yuyan didn't care, Xia Jinse said directly: "If the princess has something to say, ask me something." ”
Nan Shuxuan smiled slightly, and reached out to hold her: "Ninth princess, since you are here, sit down, I cooked some tea, you and the princess will talk while drinking." It's not good to stand, in case the ninth prince comes to see it, and we don't respect the princess. ”
Xia Jinse shrank slightly, not letting her hold it, but it was not good to stalemate again.
She sat in the corner of the stone table, Nan Shuxuan also sat down, picked up the boiling teapot with elegant movements, poured a cup of tea, and put it in front of Xia Jinse: "Taste it, princess, this is the water boiled by thousands of years of snow on Yulong Mountain three thousand miles away, and it tastes very good to cook tea." ”
The tea was green and fragrant, but Xia Jinse only glanced at it and didn't drink it.
"Thank you, but I've just eaten, and my stomach is a little bloated, so I'll drink it later." She said.
Who knows if there is any medicine in this tea?
Even if she knows how to heal, she has various ways to detoxify, but she is always troublesome, and she doesn't know what medicine is sold in Princess Yuyan's gourd, so she better be careful.
Nan Shuxuan didn't mind, poured another cup and put it in front of Princess Yuyan, and then poured it for herself
After a cup, he put down the teapot, held the teacup himself, and gently took a sip on his lips while warming his hands.
Princess Yuyan finally spoke, her face looked a little unnatural and said, "Please come over today, actually...... I want to apologize to you. In the past, I had something wrong, please forgive me, I also know that I did a lot of things wrong, but it was because I was young and ignorant, and now I know that I was wrong, and I hope we can reconcile. ”
No matter what Princess Yuyan said, Xia Jinse was not surprised, acting, pretending, and pretending...... She's been through a lot.
"Well, if the princess knows that she can change her mistakes, I will not remember again, the princess will marry Aesop in a short time, and maybe she will never come back in this life. I'm not a stingy person, and since the princess has opened her mouth, reconciliation is the best. Xia Jinse said lightly.
As soon as the words fell, she clearly saw a flash of anger on Princess Yuyan's face.
The muscles on his lips twitched, he was gritting his teeth and restrained, and his shoulders moved, thinking that the hands under the table were already clenched, right?
Princess Yuyan quickly laughed, picked up the teacup and said, "Since the ninth sister-in-law said so, then I am relieved." She raised the teacup and said to Xia Jinse: "I will replace the wine with tea and make amends for your sins." ”
With that, she drank it all and put down the teacup.
Xia Jinse still didn't drink the tea, but said, "If the princess invited me just to apologize, then it's okay." This wind pavilion is high and cold, and it is easy to catch a cold after staying for a long time, so it is better for the two of them to hurry back to the house. ”
"Wait!" Seeing that Xia Jinse wanted to leave, Nan Shuxuan preemptively said: "Don't worry, the ninth princess, the princess is looking for you, apologizing is one of them, and the other thing is that you need to ask the ninth princess for help." ”
"Yes, I want to ask Aunt Nine to help me intercede with my father and cancel my will to make peace with my relatives."
