Chapter 32: The eldest princess Yunshan
Today's spring is bright, and the emperor specially set up a family banquet next to the jade pond, and the palace concubines and princes all came to gather.
Concubine Jia Guifei sat beside the emperor, with a beautiful appearance, she held her head high and her posture was upright. Only when talking to the emperor, she looks like a little woman.
Concubine Jia Guifei has been in the limelight in recent years, and her position has been empty for a long time, she is the queen of the truth, and even the prince has to pay tribute to her.
On the other side of the emperor sat his only daughter, the eldest princess Yunshan, but in the age of cardamom.
She and the crown prince were both born to the late queen, and the emperor took pity on her loneliness, so she was extremely favored.
The crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince sat on the left seat in turn. The fourth prince and the fifth prince sat in the back, they were only four or five years old, and they were still young.
Several concubines sat on the right seat.
"The weather is very good today, and it's rare to have time to get together as a family and talk freely." The emperor's tone was relaxed.
Yun Shan rolled her eyes, she shook the emperor's arm, "Father, Yun Shan hasn't seen you much during this time, and Yun Shan is very unhappy." ”
"Yes, my little princess, my father is so busy that he doesn't have time to play with you." The emperor bowed his head and coaxed her.
"Big brother won't come to see Yunshan anymore." Yoonsun snorted dissatisfied.
The crown prince smiled dotingly, and the emperor said: "Your eldest brother has been helping his father deal with political affairs recently, and it has been very hard, and he can't spare time." ”
"Okay, then I'll forgive the big brother."
"Concubine Jia, Lin Huiren has been out of the palace for a long time, can someone take care of Shan'er recently?"
Lin Huiren is a female official next to the princess, who has taken care of the princess for eight years, and the princess likes her very much.
When Lin Huiren reached the twentieth year, the princess couldn't bear to delay her marriage anymore and was allowed to leave the palace.
"Back to the emperor, the concubines have already been arranged. In the eunuch's house, select a quiet and wise woman, and choose the best of them to take care of the princess. ”
The emperor nodded, his eyes were pleased, "Concubine Jia, you did a good job." ”
Yun Shan said quickly: "Father, if Lin Huiren leaves me, I don't want anyone." Her gaze swept over Concubine Jia in disgust.
"Shan'er is messing around, you took the initiative to let Lin Huiren out of the palace, and now you have a temper again, do you want your father to call her back again?"
Yunshan shook his head vigorously, "Don't." She whispered: "Lin Huiren is already married." ”
Concubine Jia looked at Yunshan with a light smile, and impatience flashed in her eyes.
The second prince stood up, "It's rare that the father is so excited today, and the child is really happy in his heart, so he can only drink a cup to express the child's joy." The child respects his father and the queen mother. ”
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and Concubine Jia smiled coquettishly, "Oh, the emperor, you see that this child is really getting better and better at talking." ”
The emperor patted her hand, "In the past few years, I have often been upset, but fortunately, I am very relieved to have a crown to relieve my boredom." ”
The second prince shyly excused himself, and the others seemed to have been completely forgotten, the prince picked up the wine glass and drank the stuffy wine, and Chengyu looked at everything kindly.
Concubine Ying, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke, her light voice was like dripping rain, "Your Majesty, the third prince went to Qiliang Country some time ago and did a good job." ”
The emperor looked at Concubine Ying, a beautiful woman who always liked to wear light-colored clothes, and he didn't have much impression of her, only remembering that her father was He Shendian, the commander of the infantry.
Chengyu looked at Concubine Ying, his eyes suddenly became gentle, that gentleness is not a shallow kindness floating in front of everyone, but a feeling from the heart.
"Yes, what Concubine Ying reminds me is that I should reward him."
The emperor raised his hand and pointed at Chengyu and said, "Yu'er, what do you want, tell your father." ”
"Father has given the best to Chengyu." Seungyu replied without thinking.
The crown prince and the two princes are all nervous.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, with some puzzlement, "Oh? What is it? ”
Chengyu smiled slightly, "It's Chengyu's name, and he has no worries about his life." The father had already sent the best blessings to Chengyu, and Chengyu had nothing to ask for. ”
The emperor nodded, showing a moving look.
The banquet was dispersed, and the emperor and the prince went to the study together. Concubine Jia and the second prince walked slowly all the way.
"Concubine Ying, a quiet person, is now willing to speak for the sake of the third prince," Jia Guifei said.
"After all, the third prince is also his child, and he is all prosperous." The second prince said.
"Concubine Ying is only twenty-three years old, and the third prince is already seventeen, I look at the intimate appearance when they just left, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like mother and son."
The second prince lowered his voice, "Mother is angry, don't dare to say this kind of nonsense." ”
There is news from the palace that female officials will be selected from the eunuchs' families for the eldest princess, and women over the age of 14 who have never been married can participate.
After the second aunt and Mingwan got the news, they immediately asked Princess Jiang to let Mingwan participate. If she can become a female official, it will bring high glory to a family and even a family.
Princess Jiang readily agreed, and she wrote down the names of Ming Juan and Ming Chu.
"What! Electing a female officer? I'll go? Ming Chu opened his mouth in astonishment.
Lu Shang smiled and said: "Madame has already reported your name, Fifth Miss should prepare to go to the palace as soon as possible, and you are not allowed to bring maids as required." ”
Ming Chu's eyes widened, "I still have to go to the palace." ”
"Now that the wood is ready, Miss will go." Yuewu Road.
Yuewu nodded lightly at Ming Chu, "Don't have any burden, just go and play, we'll wait for you to come back." ”
Yun Xi and Mama nodded one after another, "Yes, Miss, it's best to pass, and it's okay if you don't pass." ”
Yun Xi shook Ming Chu's arm and said reluctantly: "Miss, don't worry, when you are away, Yun Xi will definitely help you eat your share of the meal, and will take good care of Duofu!" ”
Ming Chu knocked her head with tears and laughter, Duofu was still sleeping under the plane tree, and Ming Chu gently walked over and touched its ears.
"I'm reluctant to let you go."
Yun Xi shouted: "Oh, miss, at your level, it is estimated that you will be eliminated in the first round and go home, won't we meet again." ”
Yuewu smiled, "Agreed." ”
"I hate you guys, what nonsense to tell the truth." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Nu was dissatisfied.
Everyone sent Ming Chu out of the house, there were already two sedan chairs parked outside the door, Mingjuan and the second aunt stood at the foot of the steps and waited, Mingjuan was dressed very beautifully today, and it could be seen that she had dressed up seriously. Ming Chu smiled at Ming Juan,
Mama handed the packed clothes to Ming Chu.
Ming Chu suddenly fumbled in his sleeve in a hurry, "Eh, why is it gone." She looked impressed.
"Miss is looking for this?" Chu Yuedi was lying in Yuewu's palm, and Yuewu looked at her quietly.
Ming Chu instantly smiled, "Ah! Here you are. She patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death, I thought it was gone." ”
Yuewu smiled lightly, and said, "After Miss goes to the palace, everything needs to be patient." Remember, we're waiting for you to get home. ”
Ming Chu nodded solemnly, "I know." ”
Mingjuan and the second aunt were already waiting a little anxiously, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, they reluctantly left them and saluted Princess Jiang, and after Princess Jiang told a few words, Ming Chu and Mingjuan got into the sedan chair together.
She lifted the curtain and waved her hands incessantly.
Yuewu's eyes were always looking at her, Yunxi and Mama shook their hands gently, and their figures became smaller and smaller.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, she lowered the curtain, and she rubbed the first moon in her hand, "The first moon accompanies me, as if the moon is by my side." ”
