Chapter 111: The Princess's Illness
Yu Xi ordered a few fruits and vegetables, saying that she was going to send them to her cousin.
Xiao Mo persuaded on the side: "Miss, you are all a person with a body, what are you doing like this?" Could it be that we really have to live next to Bixiao Palace? β
Yu Xi didn't care, tied those vegetables and fruits into a beautiful fruit basket, and tied them with ribbons until the crane came out.
"We were originally living next to Bixiao Palace, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. People, seeing the situation clearly is more important than anything else. β
Xiao Mo still couldn't accept it, and her eyes widened and argued: "Miss, what a proud person you used to be, why are you so soft now?" β
Yu Xi didn't seem to hear it, "Let's go, Xiao Mo, what are you doing here, the sun will pass in a while." β
In the afternoon of spring, the wind is fine, the flowers are soft and soft, and the flowers are red and willow green in the city of Haojing, which is particularly beautiful.
Spring is the season when you can sing freely, and only in spring can you have hope for tomorrow.
The two of them walked on the road of the Imperial Garden, and Xiao Mo was carrying the fruit basket, and she couldn't take a step.
The afternoon sun shone on her body, and she sweated a thin layer, feeling that the dress on her body was sticky and greasy.
Xiao Mo's complaint in her heart was even deeper, and she didn't know why the young lady was so respectful to the master of Bixiao Palace, and she went to say hello from time to time, and sent some things over.
"Miss, they don't have anything in Bixiao Palace, others don't know, you don't know, they are all unique, and they directly procured fresh ones from outside the palace.
What's the point of us sending these fruits and vegetables? β
Xiao Mo walked hard, and the complaints in her mouth were even heavier.
Yu Ji took the fruit basket and rested it on the stone chair on the side of the road, her weightless appearance really made Xiao Mo envious.
"Miss, be careful, I'll take it." Xiao Mo wanted to grab the fruit basket, but was blocked by Yuxi.
"Take a break, the sun is really hot this time, it's only in March, that's it, I'm afraid this summer will be particularly difficult."
"Miss, look, isn't that the little pomegranate who has been following the eldest princess, why is it alone over there?" Xiao Mo pointed to a little palace maid in a red dress and a green dress in the distance and said.
Yu Xi put up a pergola with her hands and looked into the distance, it was really that clever little pomegranate.
"Strange, why is she here, it seems that she hasn't seen the eldest princess for some days.
Your Majesty is also strange, she has not given her the title of eldest princess, but how to say that she is also His Majesty's own sister, and sooner or later she will be crowned the eldest princess, but now it is a little troublesome to call her. β
Yu Xi thought that in the third year of Hongqing, this Ji Ruier had only entered the palace, and for more than a year, she was also safe, and she didn't make noise because of the title.
There were many people outside who originally wanted to discuss marriage with the eldest princess, but seeing that the emperor did not publicly announce the matter of the eldest princess in the previous dynasty, it seemed that he was deliberately hiding something, so he didn't want to do it.
There are always people who like to chase after the wind and catch shadows, saying that Emperor Xuande will not hide his sister, perhaps, this is not his own sister.
It is also said that the emperor is afraid that he is deliberately unwilling to marry the minister.
Some people also say that this princess is violent by nature and has a family hereditary irritability, how can she get married.
In short, the rumors are getting more and more fierce, although this eldest princess has never appeared in the previous dynasty, her legend has been spread everywhere in Haojing.
Yu Ji beckoned to the little pomegranate to come closer.
Little Pomegranate saw someone calling her from afar, and ran over happily.
The little girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she doesn't know the rules of the palace yet, although she has been in the palace for a year, she is still naΓ―ve.
When she was in Pennsylvania, she was just a little maid that Ji Fansheng's aunt bought for Ji Rui'er, who knew that the sky was rich, Ji Rui'er entered the palace and became the eldest princess, and she followed her from the countryside to Haojing. 31
She followed the example of other palace people and curtsy to Yuxi.
But her skirt always had to trip her like all sorts of awkwardness.
"Little Pomegranate, why is you here alone, Your Highness Rui'er?"
Because there is no official sub-seal, everyone calls Ji Ruier His Royal Highness, which is not a wrong rule.
Little Pomegranate was a little flustered when she heard Pei Shuyuan ask about her master, although she said as if she was reciting it, "Your Highness said that she has had a headache recently, and she always rests in the Jieqi Pavilion. β
But it can be seen that she is hiding something.
"Since His Royal Highness Rui'er is not feeling well, why don't you stay with you? Have you ever asked a doctor to take a look? Yuxi's next question made the little pomegranate even more panicked.
"I, I, Your Highness won't let me follow her."
Xiao Mo watched from the side, and felt that the little pomegranate was lying, and the twelve or thirteen-year-old half-old child couldn't hide anything at all.
"Little Pomegranate, listen to me, is His Highness not in the palace?" Xiao Mo stepped forward, stared at the little pomegranate and asked.
Little Pomegranate seemed to be seen through her mind, "Ah, how do you know? β
"Your Highness, where did you go?"
"Her Royal Highness went out of the palace, and she didn't let me follow her."
Little Pomegranate was a little scared, she knew that she couldn't let others know about it, but it had been a month, and His Highness hadn't come back yet, so it was impossible to hide it anymore.
If it weren't for these days, Concubine Shu went to Fengming Mountain to pray for blessings, I am afraid that everyone would have found out long ago.
"Little Pomegranate, tell me honestly, did Your Highness go with Your Majesty?" Yu Xi suddenly remembered something and asked.
The little pomegranate nodded hurriedly, her little face pale with fright.
"Okay, you go, don't tell anyone, you've seen us." Yuji waved her hand.
As if he had been pardoned, the little pomegranate quickly turned around and slipped away, even forgetting to salute.
After walking far, Yu Xi muttered, "It turns out that I went to Pennsylvania with me, and I don't know which one this brother and sister is going to sing?" β
Xiao Mo didn't understand, and looked at her young lady in a daze, "Miss, what does this eldest princess have to do with us, let's hurry up and go to Bixiao Palace." β
"Yes, let's go, so my cousin can know what the hell they're up to."
Saying that, the two of them continued to walk towards Bixiao Palace, and the palace people they met along the way all bent down to salute them.
Xiao Mo got proud, "Miss, it's good that we come out for a walk if we have nothing to do, the people in Chonghua Hall are all spineless, and the people outside respect us, which is interesting." β
"Respect, where is their respect, but they are used to saluting people of high rank. It's just kids like you who love these things. β
As if she had seen through the coldness of this harem, Yu Ji complained while responding to those who came forward to talk to her.
"If you want to say that in this harem, the only one who can treat us sincerely is my cousin, don't be stupid, you are not allowed to mess with your mind without my orders.
Don't even learn from that Wu beauty, it's okay to stir things up, when I can't see through her. β
"Yes, yes, Miss taught you a lesson."
Xiao Mo answered while speeding up her pace, although she was not happy in her heart.
