Empress Chen coughed lightly twice and said, "This palace doesn't need to see today, if Yonghe likes it, come to the East Palace another day to ask the crown princess for advice." ”

She wants to be a peacemaker, I'm afraid it's not so easy. At that moment, the third princess was unhappy and said: "Queen Mother, don't sweep Yonghe's prosperity, since Yonghe likes it, you can follow her wishes, let her see the demeanor of the imperial sister-in-law tonight, and we should follow the light, otherwise it is estimated that she will not be able to sleep well when she returns home, right?" After speaking, he looked at the county lord of Yonghe beside him.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the county lord Yonghe echo and said: "What the third princess said is right, my aunt will allow Yonghe, okay?" "Yonghe County Lord Lin Pianpian is the only daughter of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and the eldest princess of Jinyang is the sister of His Majesty, so in this way, Queen Chen is the aunt of the county lord of Yonghe, and being able to call out her aunt at the banquet shows the thirst of the county lord of Yonghe.

Hearing this, Queen Chen doted and said: "Okay, good, good, this palace agrees." Then he looked at Han Jinxiu and said softly: "Since Yonghe wants to see it, then it will bother the crown princess." ”

Queen Chen, the third princess and the county lord of Yonghe said everything that should be said, so that Han Jinxiu couldn't get off the stage, and they had to write a hundred longevity pictures in public, so that they could be willing, just to make her ugly. Han Jinxiu could guess that if she really let Empress Chen and others see the joke tonight, it wouldn't be until tomorrow, and it would spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone would know it. How could she live up to their words and make them see the jokes.

The eldest princess and the crown prince sitting next to her did not help Han Jinxiu speak, and the two of them waited and watched at this time. To be honest, the eldest princess has doubts about Han Jinxiu, the change is too fast, she is worried that there is fraud in it, and it depends on how Han Jinxiu resolves the crisis. If she really made Empress Chen and the others see the joke, then it would be as if she didn't come tonight.

Instructed An Mei and Anxin to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Han Jinxiu slowly stood up and bowed his knees to everyone: "Jinxiu is ugly." ”

But after a while, the palace people moved a table, and An Mei and Anxin put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it.

Under the gaze of everyone, Han Jinxiu walked towards the table with a smile, and then retracted the smile on his face, leaned over with a pen, and wrote the word "Shou" with bated breath and strokes.

The county lord of Yonghe glanced at the third princess, and the two of them stood up together, the two of them were worried that An Mei and An An were doing something on the paper, and they had to go to see Han Jinxiu's writing in person.

Seeing this, Empress Chen smiled and said, "Look at the two of you, if you want to ask for advice, just go." Encouraging the two of them to study beside Han Jinxiu, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and soon went behind Han Jinxiu to carefully observe the word "Shou" written by her.

There were also Queen Chen, the crown prince, and the eldest princess sitting on the wine table, and the county lord Yonghe and the third princess stood behind Han Jinxiu, squeezing their eyebrows, as if to say, how is it different from what they imagined, isn't it that they all underestimated Han Jinxiu in the past, but she is actually hiding it?

Han Jinxiu wrote the word "Shou" in five different fonts, took a deep breath, and put down the wolf pen in her hand.

An Mei and Anxin glanced at each other, and the two stepped forward and carefully set up the paper that Han Jinxiu had just written, for Queen Chen, the crown prince and the eldest princess to watch. Five "longevity" characters, five different styles, Han Jinxiu took out the picture of longevity last night, presumably it was indeed written by her and the mother and daughter of Princess Zhenbei.

Empress Chen smiled at the corner of her mouth and praised: "Well, the crown princess writes very well, come and get a reward." ”

Han Jinxiu leaned over: "Thank you, Queen Mother." "It's just the beginning, and there will be a lot of things that will shock them in the future, but don't underestimate her, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth with her eyes down, and it flashed.

The eldest princess and the crown prince glanced at each other, pinched the tea cup in their hands in unison, and lowered their eyes in contemplation.

After this commotion, the third princess and the county lord of Yonghe, under the instruction of Queen Chen, restrained a lot, and did not continue to make things difficult for Han Jinxiu, so that Han Jinxiu could see the jokes of the two of them.

At this time, Yang Gonggong, a red man beside His Majesty, came, and he was followed by many palace people, holding jewels and jade in his hands. Gonggong Yang saluted Empress Chen and others, and then said: "Your Majesty's dictation, the princess's filial piety is pure, I am deeply grateful, and I am specially rewarded with a pair of glazed wind lanterns, a pair of Hetian white jade tea cups, ten cloud brocade horses, a pair of red gold hairpins, a jade Ruyi handle, and a night pearl of the East China Sea." ”

The third princess looked at so many rewards, and naturally blushed, her father was too fond of the crown princess. As the third princess, these rewards should be hers. Empress Chen patted the back of her hand under the table, signaling her not to make a fuss and make people laugh.

Han Jinxiu gladly accepted and invited Yang Gonggong to sit down.

Gonggong Yang shook his head: "Thank you for the princess's kindness, the old slave has to go back to His Majesty and retire first." ”

The dinner was over, and Empress Chen left with the third princess and the county lord of Yonghe. The eldest princess also left, and glanced at Han Jinxiu lightly before leaving.

Ah Yan helped the prince to get up, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Han Jinxiu: "Prince, the concubine thinks that this night pearl of the East China Sea is very suitable for His Highness, it is better for the concubine to borrow flowers and offer Buddha to His Highness, and I hope His Highness likes it." "Take the night pearl that Gonggong Yang gave His Majesty to reward and transfer it to the prince.

The corners of the prince's mouth trembled slightly, and he turned his back to Han Jinxiu: "Thank you for the princess's kindness, this is a reward from your father, you still keep it for yourself." After speaking, he took Ah Yan and Ah Jiu and his party back to the dormitory.

Han Jinxiu's original intention to give the prince the night pearl was to mock the prince, he was blind and didn't know the hearts of good people.

Tonight, Han Jinxiu held a banquet to entertain Queen Chen's mother and daughter, and was rewarded by His Majesty, which shows that she did the right thing, but not everyone can get His Majesty's reward.

That night, Han Jinxiu opened her eyes, and under the bright moonlight shining through the window, she saw a tall figure in the hall, and subconsciously pinched the brocade futon in her hand. An Mei and Anxin were originally waiting in the hall, she understood that the two of them were too tired to follow her these days, so she asked them to go down to rest, and other palace maids were guarding outside the hall. How can this be good, once the palace maid outside the palace is called in, it will affect her reputation, and she must not cause trouble to the prince.

An Mei and Anxin are people she trusts, and their mouths are tight. The palace maid outside the hall may not be, Han Jinxiu will regret this intestines, and Anmei and Anxin should not be allowed to leave, and they should leave alone.

Suddenly, Han Jinxiu slowly loosened the brocade futon, her eyes were clear, she probably knew who it would be?

After sending away the county lord of Yonghe, Queen Chen took the third princess back to the palace, and the third princess pouted: "Queen Mother, that princess is too cunning. ”

"Well, don't say anything, remember the words of the queen mother in the future, don't know her in general, and don't want to make things difficult for her. After all, she is the crown princess, and she is deeply liked by your father. "Queen Chen repeatedly told the third princess that the night pearl of the East China Sea was not given away by His Majesty at will, and there were only two left in the Great Zhou, one of which was buried in the coffin of the former Empress Zhu, that is, the biological mother of the prince and the eldest princess, His Majesty. The other one was given to the crown princess by His Majesty today, and it is obvious that His Majesty takes a fancy to the crown princess.

The third princess drooped her head: "Queen Mother, the son wants the night pearl very much, why didn't the father reward the son and the princess, but gave it to the crown princess!" "This is what makes her the most angry, where is she inferior to the crown princess in her father's heart?
