Chapter Twenty-Four: I Am the Princess

Mai Jiu and Shen Qianyue returned to Yi'an Courtyard after separation.

As soon as Mai Jiu stepped into the threshold, he saw Chengde and a few minions standing in the courtyard, and the group looked back together when they heard the movement, and this scene frightened Mai Jiu with his other foot hanging on the threshold and did not dare to put it down.

She retracted her feet and stepped out, taking a few steps back, looking up at the plaque above the door.

That's right, it's Yi'an Hospital.

Mai Jiu looked into the courtyard again, and behind Chengde stood a row of minions holding cloth, porcelain, and wooden boxes in their hands. Mai Jiu turned his head to look at Zhi Hua and asked suspiciously, "You want to get married?" ”

Hearing this, Zhihua turned his head in surprise, leaned back and replied, "Master, what are you kidding, where are the slaves going to get married?" ”

At this time, Chengde in the courtyard came over and said with a smile, "Master Mandarin, where have you been?" It's really a long wait for the minions. ”

Mai Jiu looked sideways at the row of people behind him, everyone's faces were a little red from the sun, and drops of sweat slid down from their foreheads to their chins, and they didn't have extra hands to wipe their things.

"It's a hot day, let's go inside and talk." Mai Jiu distressedly brought Chengde and his party into the house.

Chengde wiped the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs and said, "Master Mandarin, the minions have been waiting for two hours, and the slaves and maids in the courtyard have not found you back, are you out of the palace?" ”

Mai Jiu walked to the table and poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Chengde: "It's hot, let's have a cup of tea." ”

Chengde looked at the brown liquid in the cup and was a little stunned, picked up the teacup and drank it all. He put the teacup back on the table and said, "It's still the master of the mandarin mandarins, you are considerate of the minions. ”

Mai Jiu sat on a chair and looked at the group behind Chengde: "You are... What are you doing here? ”

"The slave is under the dictation of the prince."

Zhihua hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down after hearing Chengde say the word oracle, Mai Jiu looked at Zhihua kneeling on the ground with a puzzled face, and she whispered, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhihua pulled the hem of Lamaijiu's skirt and also whispered back, "Lord Wang, you better kneel down first." ”

"Huh?" Mai Jiu got up suspiciously, stepped forward and knelt on the ground with his dress. Zhi Hua saw that the person in front of her was hunched over, and she poked Mai Jiu's back vigorously with her upper hand, and did not let go until Mai Jiu straightened up and Zhi Hua.

Mai Jiu was uncomfortable, her face was full of displeasure, and she scratched her cheek with her upper hand.

Chengde saw that Mai Jiu and the others knelt down, so he continued: "After careful consideration, Gu Ziyuan is smart and keen, beautiful and light, and has won the heart of this king, gentle and frugal, and has the posture of being the head of the palace and the mother of the house, so he is the princess of the palace." ”

After hearing a few big words from the princess of the palace, Mai Jiu's face was full of doubts.

Chengde continued, "A box of gold and silver jewelry, ten pieces of Luo brocade cloth, and a set of blue and white glazed red porcelain. By the way, the prince asked the slave to bring the concubine seal, you know, the one who holds the concubine seal is the princess of the palace. ”

After speaking, Chengde turned around, lifted the red cloth, and took over the end plate with the concubine's seal.

Mai Jiu craned his neck curiously and looked at it.

The gold seal purple ribbon, the gold seal and the purple ribbon tied with the seal, the shape is square, and the top is carved like a blooming jasmine flower.

Chengde waited for Mai Jiu to take it with the end plate, but Mai Jiu just looked at the concubine seal on the plate in a daze. Zhihua in the back stretched out his hand and poked Mai Jiu, and Mai Jiu came back to his senses and raised his hand to take the end plate.

Zhihua kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the grace of the prince, the prince is a thousand years old." Seeing this, Mai Jiu hurriedly followed behind Zhihua's voice and said quickly: "Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." ”

Mai Jiu stood up hard, her eyes staying on the concubine seal in her hand.

"Master Mandarin, what belongs to you will eventually return to you, right, princess." The tone of Chengde, the last two words, is particularly heavy.

Chengde beckoned back, and the minion with the wooden box stepped forward, and Chengde turned around and opened the wooden box and stood aside.

Mai Jiu looked at the box, the box was shining with golden light, and all kinds of hairpins, golden hairpins, step shakes, and flower sheng flashed with dazzling light.

"The prince didn't know what you liked, so he asked the minions to find some of them."

Mai Jiu put the concubine seal in her hand on the table and stepped forward, and the happy tooth flower was about to laugh, she looked into the box and thought that there would be money to sell a few things and open a store.

She blinked her eyes and pursed her lips reservedly, but she couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her mouth: "Oh, the prince really has a heart." ”

At this time, her mind had already thought about a gate city facing north and south, which must be on the second floor, in the downtown area, and must be high-end and atmospheric.

Chengde saw the happy appearance of the predecessor and said, "The prince is expected to be back from the house this morning, and the servants will retire first." ”

After the minions put their things on the table, they followed Chengde and walked out.

Seeing that everyone was about to go away, Mai Jiu reacted and shouted out: "There is Lao Gonggong, father-in-law go slowly." ”

As soon as Chengde and his party left, the news spread throughout the palace, and the palace exploded for a while.

The first one to come was Lu Youning, who came with two peaches, saying that it was a congratulatory gift, and as soon as he came, he couldn't stop chattering.

"Sister Mandarin, this hairpin is so beautiful, look at the snow lotus on the hairpin, and this lotus-like pendant. If I bring it, it will be blown by the wind again, and the tassels will make a tinkling sound. ”

Mai Jiu had three question marks on her head, looking at Lu Youning, who was playing with the silver hairpin, she waved her hand and said domineeringly, "As soon as you see this hairpin, it suits you, take it and give it to you." ”

Lu Youning's happy little feet stomped non-stop, and after thanking him, he directly inserted the hairpin on his head, shaking his head from side to side, and sure enough, the tassels on the hairpin made a tinkling sound, which was very good.

At this time, Lin Yingsleeve and her personal slave walked in, and the slave and maid behind her were holding a fan in both hands. Lin Yingsleeve walked to Lu Youning's side, glanced at it with a sigh, and walked straight to Mai Jiu.

"The concubine is the princess." Lin Yingsleeve saluted with the two slaves and maids behind him.

Mai Jiu was not used to the title of princess, and was stunned for a long time before he stepped forward and helped Lin Yingsleeve, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

Lin Yingsleeve turned around and took the fan and handed it to Mai Jiu: "This is embroidered by the concubine herself, and it happened to be sent to you today." ”

The fan surface is made of light and silky materials, and the pattern is embroidered with lotus flowers and lotus leaves and a dragonfly that is about to stop, with distinct colors and lifelike.

Mai Jiu took the fan, and in modern times, she had only seen such a beautifully embroidered fan in the exhibition hall.

"Your hands are so skillful, thank you." Mai Jiu really liked this fan, she stroked the embroidery on the fan surface with her hands, and then raised her eyes to look at Lin Yingsleeve, she couldn't believe that it was embroidered by the person in front of her.

Lu Youning touched the silver hairpin on her head, and she was very happy at this time. Wei Xiran, who had just entered the house, quietly walked behind Lu Youning, pulled off the hairpin on her head, and took a step back.

Lu Youning only felt that something was coming out of her hair, and she suddenly turned around and saw Wei Xiran holding a tassel silver hairpin and looking at it carefully.

"Give it back to me, Sister Mandarin just rewarded me." Lu Youning got started and wanted to snatch it back, she took a step forward, Wei Xiran took a step back, and the two of them played in circles in the house.

Mai Jiu and Lin Yingsleeve followed the two people who were fighting in the house. Mai Jiu frowned, turned his head to look at Lin Yingsleeve, and asked suspiciously, "Have they always been like this?" ”

Lin Yingsleeve laughed lightly and replied, "Just get used to it." ”

Wei Xiran looked at the fan in Mai Jiu's hand, she knew at a glance that this was Lin Yingsleeve's craftsmanship, she stopped, stretched out her hand to block Lu Youning, who was still chasing her, and asked, "No, you won't bring anything here?" ”

Lu Youning also stopped and turned her head to look, she also saw the fan in Mai Jiu's hand, and instantly she felt how sloppy the two peaches she brought.

Wei Xiran returned the hairpin in his hand to Lu Youning, and Lu Youning carefully took it and wiped it with his cuffs. Wei Xiran touched her whole body and didn't find anything that could be used as a gift, she smiled awkwardly, "Next time." ”

"No need, I just have something to ask for." Mai Jiu handed the fan in his hand to Zhihua behind him, and pulled Lin Yingsleeve and the three of them to sit down.

Outside the hospital, Liu Huiyu, who lived in Qingqiu Courtyard, and her personal slave passed by Yi'an Courtyard.

The two looked at the open door of Yi'an Courtyard, and the slave behind Liu Huiyu said, "Master, I heard that the prince has named Gu Ziyuan the princess in charge again." ”

Liu Huiyu looked in through the courtyard gate, she retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and said in a cold tone, "I thought that Yun Ran could disgust her for a while, but I didn't expect Yun Ran to die like this, heh." In the end, Liu Huiyu snorted lightly, and the hand in his sleeve clenched tightly.

"What? You want to open a store? The three people in the room were so shocked when they heard what Mai Jiu said that they shouted out in unison.

Mai Jiu hurriedly shook his hand: "Whisper, whisper, you can't let the prince know." ”

Sang Huai'an had just returned to the palace after his official duties, and as soon as he entered the palace, he walked in the direction of Yi'an Courtyard. Before he reached Yi'an Hospital, he saw the people in front of the hospital.

He looked at the people in front of the courtyard carefully, and he couldn't remember what they were called for a while, and he forgot when he entered the mansion.

The slave behind Liu Huiyu saw the prince in the distance, and she attached herself to Liu Huiyu's ear and whispered, "The prince is behind you." Liu Huiyu hurriedly turned her head to look, she hadn't seen the prince for a long time, and the number of times she had seen her after entering the mansion could be counted with one finger.

Sang Huai'an couldn't remember who this was, so he continued to walk towards Yi'an Courtyard.

Liu Huiyu stood aside and waited for Sang Huai'an, she was looking forward to being able to talk to the prince, she knelt down and saluted when she was far away, and when the prince walked in front of her, she bowed her head and said, "The concubine is the prince." ”

Sang Huai'an only stopped for a moment to look at Liu Huiyu, who was kneeling in front of him, and then turned right and walked into Yi'an Courtyard.

"Lord Wang..." Liu Huiyu wanted to stop the person in front of him, but he didn't look back when he saw that person striding into a meteor.

Liu Huiyu sat directly on the ground, one hand propped on the ground. Seeing this, the slave and maid behind him wanted to pull up their master.

"It's like this every time... Why... Why..."Liu Huiyu's tone was grieved.

Every time she is in front of Sang Huai'an, she is like a transparent person, he can't see it, even if he sees it, Liu Huiyu doesn't even have a chance to talk, every time she stays just a back.
