After lunch, even the air was hot, and I couldn't stop screaming irritably on the branches, Dai Chunrong and Gao Wanzhi had already led Chang Tai and the other little eunuchs to take the sticky rod in the small room to catch it for a while, but it didn't seem to be effective, I couldn't help but think of the good of modern pesticides, and I was distracted, Princess Rongshou had already stepped in, "I heard that the emperor was lucky to you last night?" ”

Bai Ge saw it and hurriedly saluted.

Princess Rongshou stepped over to the small couch, waved her hand at Bai Ge and said, "That's it," and asked me with a smile, "Just came back from the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

I looked up at her with a shallow smile, "What, did the eldest princess come to Jingren Palace today to ask for a sin?" ”

Princess Rongshou sat sideways on the small couch, faced me and smiled and sighed: "Zhao Xing, who goes to the Heart Cultivation Palace to serve is the emperor's freedom, how dare I ask the little master of the crime, who doesn't know that the little master Zhen is now the biggest celebrity around the emperor and Lafayette." ”

Bai Ge came in from outside, got a fat sea, and two or three delicate snacks, Princess Rongshou rubbed to open the lid of the lamp, when her eyes touched the cup, her face was suddenly startled, she hurriedly covered it again, stroked her chest, and asked me calmly: "What kind of worm is soaked here?" As he spoke, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he sighed, "It's too disgusting!" ”

I couldn't help but smile, "The eldest princess is still afraid of these women on horseback." ”

Princess Rongshou pushed the teacup in disgust, stared at me and asked, "Are you deliberately scaring me?" Then he said, "I don't believe you usually drink water soaked in this bug!" ”

Bai Ge stood next to him and couldn't help but laugh twice, explaining: "Don't be afraid, the eldest princess is soaked in the best fat sea, the weather is getting hotter, the fat sea is not an insect but a plant, soaked in the water and swollen to look a little bluffing, the fat sea has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, it should be drunk at this time, Jingren Palace has been changing the Longjing bubble fat sea before the rain to drink." ”

Princess Rongshou listened to Bai Ge's words, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's the case," she looked at Bai Ge again, and said with a smile at me, "It seems that your Jingren Palace is really full of talents, and the people who serve you even know these home remedies." ”

Bai Ge hurriedly said: "No," pursed his lips again, and said with a smile, "How can the slave and maid know so much if they are short-sighted, these are all told to the slave by the little master, at first the slave and the maid were as afraid as the eldest princess, and then the little master told the slave and maid that the slave and maid understood." ”

Princess Rongshou slowly took the teacup, lifted the lid, and took a small sip, "It's true, the entrance is very refreshing," and drank two more sips, nodded again and again, and after a while, raised her eyes and looked at me and said, "Concubine Zhen, I really admire you more and more." ”

I laughed, "What is the eldest princess saying this, but it's just a fat sea, what is there to admire." ”

Princess Rongshou smiled: "Okay, okay, I don't argue with you, I just like these cool things in summer." ”

I thought for a moment, "If Celestia likes cool things, she should definitely try putting two more slices of fresh mint in the fat sea." ”

Princess Rongshou was puzzled, "Mint? Then he asked, "Where can I find mint?" ”

I looked out the window, and the sky was as blue as if it had been washed, and it was not as wide as the clouds appeared, "The Forbidden City is so big, I can't believe I can't find a few pieces of mint." ”

Princess Rongshou asked curiously: "Do you know where mint usually grows?" ”

I nodded, "Peppermint, also known as 'silver dancao', mostly grows in the mountains and wetlands beside the river, the whole plant is green and fragrant, the leaves are opposite, the flowers are small lilac, lip-shaped, and the flowers bear dark purple-brown small fruits. ”

Princess Rongshou put her arms on the small table in front of her, supported her head with her palms and looked up for a moment, she said excitedly: "I know where to find mint!" After saying that, he hurriedly took my hand and was about to go out.

I dragged her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Celestia, I haven't put on shoes yet!" ”

Bai Ge listened, and quickly took a pair of moon-white satin embroidered bamboo ingots that I often wear at home to put on me, Princess Rongshou stood next to her with a look of impatience, and asked repeatedly: "Okay?" Bai Ge helped me tie my hair again, inserted a pair of pearl-inlaid tourmaline hairpins to fix, Princess Rongshou sighed and said: "You harem concubines, if you go out to make money, it's trouble!" ”

I sat in front of the mirror and smiled and asked, "You guys? Lowering his eyes and thinking about it, he said "oh", and joked softly: "I will go to Zhongcui Palace tomorrow to tell the queen mother, see if she treats you or not!" ”

Princess Rongshou "cut" and sighed with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the queen!" ”

I nodded, "I know, the relationship between the eldest princess and the queen mother is not ordinary, it is as good as sisters, so naturally there is no need to be afraid." ”

She hurriedly said, "Not really! He also said: "I don't look down on the queen in my heart at all, I don't have the temperament that I should have as the mother of a country, neither virtuous enough, nor smart enough, neither beautiful enough, nor dignified enough, if it weren't for the fact that she is Lafayette's niece, I wouldn't even give her three points of thin noodles on the surface." ”

I laughed, "But the last time I saw the horse's victory, didn't you talk to the queen mother quite well?" ”

She chuckled, "She, just say it nicely, if you want her to really get on the horse, she will definitely not be willing, and she has to prevaricate in the past, I am most unaccustomed to such a person, the real admirable should be like your second brother Tatara??" Zhirui showed real skills to convince people. ”

I looked at her, pursed my lips and smiled, "It seems that Zhirui has left a deep impression on you." ”

She bowed her head slightly, pondered for a moment, and smiled at me: "Not to mention Zhirui, I am very impressed by you and him." ”

I tilted my head and looked earnestly into her clear eyes, "Zhirui is especially profound. ”

She glared at me, "Don't talk nonsense," and added, "Even Lafayette praised him for his success in the future!" ”

I felt sorry and smiled slightly: "It seems that Lafayette has a lot of weight in the heart of the eldest princess, and Lafayette's old words have been remembered by the eldest princess to this day, no wonder Lafayette is particularly interested in the princess." ”

Princess Rongshou smiled lightly, glanced at the pink chrysanthemums under the window and said, "Aren't you the same?" ”

I shook my head slightly, "As the eldest princess said in the Chuxiu Palace that day, we are not the same. ”

Princess Rongshou strode up to the mirror and said to me, "I'm angry with you, I'm joking!" ”

I lowered my head slightly, and there were fine crystal beads hanging from the magnolia hairpin with glass beads and tassels, which were cold and smooth on my face, and slowly gave birth to a coolness, "Celestial princess, but I'm not joking." ”

She looked at me with a little confusion.

I looked at Princess Rongshou in front of me, as far as I know, Princess Rongshou was deeply favored by Cixi all her life, and never fell out of favor, and suddenly had an idea in my heart, if I can win over Princess Rongshou, it can be regarded as an insurance for Zai Xiang in the future, even if I am not there, as long as Princess Rongshou is here, it will not make Zai Xiang's days so sad and hard, so that I can feel at ease. So, he chuckled: "Being a man should be above board, I have seen the eldest princess in my eyes these days, although the friendship is not deep, but in my heart I also feel that the eldest princess is not a despicable person, so there are some things I don't have to hide from the eldest princess, but it seems that I am hypocritical," after a slight pause, I said, "Actually, in my heart, the emperor is not only the emperor, but also my husband, as a wife, I should take care of my husband's daily life, and I should also support my husband's correct actions in the community, in my heart, the emperor is a people-minded, A good emperor with a good heart in his heart, he must fulfill his responsibilities as an emperor, and he must fulfill the promise of the court to the people, so no matter what happens, I will unswervingly stand behind the emperor and never change. ”

Princess Rongshou frowned slightly, "That Lafayette ......"

I shook my head, "In my mind, Galeries Lafayette is just Galeries Lafayette, nothing more." ”

Princess Rongshou asked: "Then what if one day you are asked to choose one in the hearts of Lafayette and the emperor?" ”

I immediately replied, "Your Majesty." ”

Princess Rongshou smiled lightly and asked, "You don't even think about it?" ”

I shook my head, "No, there are some things that you don't have to think about at all." ”

Princess Rongshou's face was a little puzzled, "Why did you tell me?" Aren't you afraid that one day I will go to Ningshou Palace and tell Lafayette? ”

I laughed, "You won't, it's because you won't I told you." ”

Princess Rongshou looked at me with a smile, "I'm not a good old man, don't mistake me." ”

I nodded, "I know." ”

Princess Rongshou asked, "Do you know?" ”

I said "um," "because I'm not a good person, and I'm not afraid even if you tell Lafayette." ”

When Princess Rongshou heard this, she laughed for a while, raised her eyebrows and asked me, "Why don't you go to your sister to say these words?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders, "My sister was very kind to me when she was in the mansion," and as she said, her eyes unconsciously looked at Princess Rongshou, "The eldest princess should know that there are some things that are too close to people in the palace, the more they can't easily tell them." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Ge suddenly said behind him: "Little master, it's all right." ”

Princess Rongshou was startled, her brows trembled faintly, I had no intention of catching a glimpse of her slightly regretful and panicked look in the mirror, and only smiled and said: "The people in Jingren Palace and I are all of the same heart, the eldest princess is only relieved and measured." ”
