But Brother went to school, Ying Shu and Shen Bin didn't tell Qi Ranran and the princess, the two thought that it was the end of the year anyway, and it would not be too late to talk about it in a few days. After all, as an ancient civil servant couple, they have been getting busier and busier recently.

In the previous palace, even if it was busy, it was at most a busy half a day and then went to Ruotong to chat for half a day, but now it is completely busy all day without a rest. Ying Shu and Gan Si stayed in Si Yu Si Zhang Luo for a long time, and checked up and down, but they were sure that there was nothing wrong.

On April 23, the king of Baibe, Danshang, brought the little prince Junxia to Pingjing City to congratulate him, and Emperor Li Ming personally greeted him outside the city, and when he arrived in the palace, the queen personally greeted him. Ying Shu was fortunate to be able to witness this grand event as an escort lady.

The emperor and the empress stood side by side, and accepted the salute of King Danshang, who was already over fifty years old, but the little prince Junxia beside him was in his early twenties.

This is behind the scenes, but it is not so simple.

When he was still the first emperor, the white coup d'état, and the first princes of Danshang were killed in the struggle, so it was the turn of the prince of Danshang to take the throne. Later, for the pure and stable bloodline of the white royal family, Prince Danshang actually married his half-sister Princess Zhulan, although it is a bit appalling that the marriage of his sister and brother is a bit appalling, but Bai also had such a tradition in the early years of the founding of the country, and at that time, Princess Zhulan was the princess of the country, and was deeply supported by everyone in Baibu, so the combination of sister and brother was inevitable.

However, when the sisters and brothers got married, the children born were always more expensive and had more problems, and after the princess of Zhulan married King Danshang, she became pregnant several times and gave birth to children, but she did not live to be around ten years old. Only this Prince Junxia and a princess Mianchun, whether it is Bai or Daxin's Star Master, they all say that the princess and the prince will grow up safely, and will prosper Bai Bu, and the two princes and princesses have really grown up to adulthood safely, and their health is exceptionally good, and they almost never get sick. Therefore, the heart that had been hanging up and down the white part for several years was put down.

"I don't know how to see the queen?" The queen asked King Danshang affectionately.

King Danshang said: "Mianchun was pregnant before leaving, and the queen was thinking about it in her heart. stayed in the white department with Mianchun, and asked the queen to forgive me. ”

Ying Shu followed behind, and she had almost heard the story about the Queen of Zhulan, and the reason why the queen cared so much about Queen Zhulan was also because of a layer of stories from the past.

When Queen Zhulan was a princess, she was a hostage and became friendly with the emperor's biological mother, Concubine Chunxi. When the emperor was the prince, he always pestered Queen Zhulan to ride a horse and play, and half of the emperor's horseback riding skills now come from Queen Baibu Zhulan. That's why the queen cares about Queen Hakube like this for the emperor.

It's just that Queen Zhulan hasn't followed much Chaogong over the years, only because of her age.

Ying Shu looked at King Baibe, although he was tough, there was always an indescribable cold air between his eyebrows, which seemed to be very distant; As for Prince Junxia on the side, although he is older than himself and Shen Bin in his twenties, he looks like a simple milky child, just like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. And his appearance is also clear-eyed, but he is more delicate than many girls, but he is not as rough and arrogant as his father, his eyes are the most pure and clean, and his smile is better than Shen Bin.

"Junxia hasn't seen him for a few years, but he's getting more and more handsome." The emperor looked at Junxia with admiration in his eyes.

"Hey, hey." Junxia is generous, elegant and polite, but not restrained, "Your Majesty Xie praised." ”

"Isn't it, Prince Junxia is getting better and better. Bengong looks, the men in this capital are not as good as you. The queen also echoed the emperor's words.

"The hour is not early, I have ordered the people to prepare a feast, and our two states must have fun. The feast took three days to be good. The Emperor smiled, and walked side by side with King Danshang smiling like brothers.

This feast lasted for three days, and it seemed that the guests and hosts were happy and the ministers were happy, but for Yingshu, it was three days of fear, for fear that something would go wrong.

Gan Siyu and Yingshu took the palace maids below to be responsible for the drinks at the banquet, and for the sake of strict rules and rudeness, the emperor and concubines and concubines and concubines and the princes of the white department were to be served by Yingshu and Gan Siyu and others in person to show solemnity.

Gan Siyu is a little timid, and the appearance of the partial Dan Shang is a typical white rough man's appearance, and his style is also bold and a little wild, causing Gan Siyu to shake his head when he sees Dan Shang, "This white prince is too rough to look at, and he is full of wildness, I don't dare to serve wine!" ”

Ying Shu looked at it, in fact, she felt that it was okay, and this was in front of the emperor, so she had to be polite, so she said: "Then my sister will go to serve wine to His Majesty and several maidens, and I will serve wine to the prince and prince of Baibu." ”

"Really?" Gan Siyu was grateful: "Then thank you sister." ”

Ying Shu nodded with a smile, indicating that these were nothing, and then turned her head to look at the emperor above, Wen asked Ruya, and looked at it was indeed more noble than this Danshang prince.

"Lord Wang, please use wine." Ying Shu walked to the side of Prince Danshang, and commanded the little palace maid behind her to come forward to serve wine.

Although the prince of Danshang looks difficult on the outside, the basic etiquette is not bad, and he just nodded slightly.

"If the prince feels unwilling, you can say to the concubine that our company has prepared a lot of wine and drinks to make the prince happy." Ying Shu smiled and bowed slightly.

Ying Shu walked to the side of the little prince Junxia next to him, the little prince Junxia was completely different from his father, and thanked Ying Shu: "Thank you for this sister." ”

"The prince is gracious."

However, after a few faces, Ying Shu felt that this prince had a deep impression on herself, but there was a vague feeling that she did not look like a man from the border grassland, if it weren't for the white clothes, Ying Shu would have believed that he was a man from the Central Plains.

The three-day feast is finally over, and the days when Yingshu and Gan Si are worried are over. After that, the prince of Baibu Danshang will stay in the palace for a few days, and at the beginning of May, he will hold a four-month Changlan hunt, which is a grand event that Daxin and Baibu meet once in ten years. Usually, according to the rules, every year or two, Daxin also holds autumn hunts with Baibu and other places, and the period is only about one month at most, which seems to be such a grand and long-term hunt, but it is rare.

There are still a few days before going to the Changlan paddock, and the harem is busy again, the queen has to draw up a list of accompanying concubines, and arrange for the female officials to prepare everything. In her busy schedule, the queen summoned Ying Shu and Gan Siyu, and implicitly said that they managed Si Si's affairs very well, and when Bai was gone, Gan Si Yu would have the opportunity to go to the next level, and although Ying Shu would not actually manage things, she would also seal some honorary female official positions.

Gan Siyu was very moved, and held Yingshu's hand tightly all the way and said: "Thank you sister, if it weren't for my sister's thoughtful support, where would I have the opportunity to be appreciated by my mother?" ”

Ying Shu said modestly: "It's all my sister's own foresight, I'm just a layman." In the end, it is my sister who has an opinion to do things well. She thought that Huang Sishan of the Catering Division was removed from his official position after the three-day banquet because he didn't do anything, and the mess of the Catering Division was cleaned up by An Shangshi. To be honest, although a female official from a family can also take care of things, she doesn't have much control in the end, so even if Lijun is in a hurry, it is useless.

"Go to the Changlan paddock, my sister can rest. I think my sister is following as the princess's daughter-in-law. Gan Si smiled: "My sister can get along with Shen Gongzi now." ”

Ying Shu lowered her head shyly.

Back home, she let out a long breath, she hadn't been back to the princess's mansion for three days. dragged the tired Yingshu to sleep, but when she thought that she hadn't seen the princess yet, she had to get up and say hello to the princess.

To be honest, I am very lucky compared to those daughters-in-law who have to serve the rules in the morning and dusk.

"Say hello to my mother." After Ying Shu changed her clothes and decorated them, she rushed to the Cunxin Palace.

At that time, the princess was drinking tea with Grandma Huan, and after seeing Yingshu, she had a rare smile on her face: "Sit down, you too, you have been serving in the palace for so long." Why don't you take a break? Why rush here? ”

Jin picked up a small orange for the princess and said, "Brother and sister, this is respecting you in my heart, how can I not come and say goodbye?" Mother, you too, said that there is no need, your younger brothers and sisters come to say goodbye, aren't you also happy in your heart? ”

The eldest princess took the orange and said to Ying Shu while eating: "Three-day banquet, I have also been there for one day, and you behave very well." Many ladies and ladies say that you are good, but you give our parents face. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all taught by my mother." Ying Shu replied respectfully.

This is the reason why Ying Shu feels very tired, on the one hand, there are too many things that need to be taken care of by herself, and on the other hand, there are many wives and ladies of families at the banquet, and the ladies of various families have such and such connections, and they must not only perform well, but also perform super well. She knew that the eldest princess would definitely care about her behavior openly and secretly, and she must not relax.

The eldest princess seems to be kind, but she is alienated and disbelieving, but Yingshu knows it.

I have to be very good and perfect better than anyone else in order to become the daughter-in-law who reassures the eldest princess. It's not to please or whatever, it's just the idea in my heart, since I have become the daughter-in-law of the princess's mansion, I have to adapt to this identity, so that others can't make mistakes, and I can live a comfortable and smooth life.

"Now that the feast is over, you can rest. This time Changlan hunting, our family also has to follow, our family also has a small field near Changlan, and there is no need to crowd with the ladies in the palace at that time. You go back and prepare, think about who you should bring with you, although you can go back to the house, but you will have to stay for a little longer. The eldest princess instructed lukewarmly, "Brother Bin will be busy when he arrives, and those who serve Brother Bin, you can do it." ”

"Yes."

Seeing this, Jin was afraid that Ying Shu would feel depressed, so he said, "Mother is still afraid that her younger siblings will not be well prepared?" My brother and sister are the safest. ”

The eldest princess just nodded: "It's okay to be on the side, it's just Brother Ke'er, it's not good to leave Brother Ke'er alone in the mansion." ...... like this"

Ying Shu immediately understood, and said: "Since this is the case, then Aunt Qi can go over to take care of Brother Ke'er together." In the end, it is the biological mother and daughter-in-law who are stupid, and I am afraid that they will not take good care of her. ”

"Uh-huh." The eldest princess nodded, "That's what you said. ”

Back at Shanyueju, Apricot expressed her dissatisfaction: "Why did the girl bring the one from Yifeng Pavilion?" This time I went to Changlan, the best girl should be with my uncle, the little couple will be mixed with oil in a few months, and then what will Aunt Qi be arrogant? This brought the Qi family over, Changlan is such a big place, isn't it unpleasant to find yourself? ”

Zhang's mother was very sober, "This is the meaning of the eldest princess, who can change it?" The eldest princess, this is a temptation for our girl! ”

Kyoko was surprised: "Still tempting?" Our girls are doing so well, why is the eldest princess still not satisfied? ”

Ying Shu smiled bitterly, being the daughter-in-law of a big family is not an easy thing.

For example, as soon as she was about to sleep beautifully, Qi Ranran brought her brother Ke'er to ask her to answer her.

As a very loving and virtuous housewife, it is impossible for the concubine to stand at the door and wait for her to go to sleep, so she can only force her eyelids and order Qi Ranran to come in.

"Grandma has worked hard to enter the palace, please say hello to grandma." Qi Ranran's attitude is always very humble and obedient, so respectful that Yingshu has always felt that this woman is not simple.

"Why is my sister so polite? This is all valued by the saint and the queen, not to mention hard work. Although Yingshu was very annoying, she still had to say a few words.

Qi Ranran said again: "But my brother misses grandma!" I haven't seen each other for three or four days, and now I hear that my grandmother is back, so I want to say hello to my grandmother! ”

After that, Qi Ranran motioned to Brother Ke'er to ask Ying Shu for peace.

The milky child knelt down, Yingshu was not a hard-hearted person, so she naturally ordered her brother to get up and asked some questions casually. After that, Qi Ranran said: "Not long after grandma entered the door, the slave maid was supposed to serve on the side, but now she wants grandma to be busy. The slave maid is really uneasy in her heart, in a few days the grandmother and the second master will go to the Changlan paddock again, there is no better than the house, and they can't serve on the side of the grandmother and the second master, and the slave and the maid are really guilty. ”

It turned out to be to put on my own words.

Ying Shuqiang cheered up: "Sister, don't worry, this time I went to Changlan, and my sister and Brother Ke'er had to go with me." Although it is inevitable that my sister will work hard, it is not good to leave my sister here alone, but there is a response. ”

Qi Ranran smiled and thanked Ying Shu for her kindness.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "The second master is back." ”

Everyone was busy getting up and saluting, and Shen Bin saw Ying Shu from a distance, so he hurried over and helped: "Don't get up, I've been serving in the palace for a long time, and I'm tired of thinking about it." ”

"It's not very tiring, it's all due." Ying Shu must be strong in front of outsiders, especially in front of people like Qi Ranran.

Shen Bin helped Ying Shu sit down, and when he saw Qi Ranran, he couldn't help frowning, and his smile stopped, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Oh, second master, the slave maid heard that grandma came back from the palace, so she thought about coming over to say hello to grandma." Qi Ranran saw Shen Bin and became more deferential.

"Greetings?" Shen Bin's face was slightly distorted and disgusted, "Don't you know that grandma just came from the palace?" Grandma is so tired, you rushed over to shout at grandma, but didn't let grandma rest? ”

Qi Ranran immediately knelt down and said delicately: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave just ...... The slave maid just wanted to do her duty, thinking that it was not good to lose her manners, grandma was tired in the palace, how could the slave and maid lie in their own room and live proudly. Slaves...... Didn't think about it...... Noisy grandma to rest. ”

Shen Bin looked at Qi Ranran condescendingly, "Since that's the case, you can think of a way to do both." If you don't want to lie down, you don't have to kowtow to the door. When grandma is resting, some people will naturally say that you are kind, but it seems that you are sincere, right? ”

Shen Bin hit the nail on the head, which made Ying Shu feel greatly comfortable, but she didn't dare to laugh on the surface, so she could only wait for a while to laugh again.

"Slave maid......" Qi Ranran knelt on the ground, and was about to shed tears according to the custom. It's just that Shen Bin didn't give Qi Ranran a chance to play, but just said: "Come on, what's the use of explaining so much?" The next time I feel that grandma is hard, I go and kneel in front of grandma's immortal tablet for an hour to pray for blessings, how sincere this is! Saying these things here, is it possible that you can enter the palace for your grandmother? ”

"That's what the second master said. Slaves...... I'm going to pray for my grandmother. Qi Ranran squeezed out a look of grievance.

"This ...... How good is that? Ying Shu accompanied Qi Ranran to perform, and then became a smiling Bodhisattva, and finally Shen Bin exempted Qi Ranran from "praying" and kicked Qi Ranran out.

After Qi Ranran left, Shen Bin looked at Ying Shu: "I'm tired." ”

Ying Shu nodded, only to feel that her eyelids couldn't open, "yes, I'm too tired." ”

Shen Bin immediately picked up Yingshu, and a princess strode towards the dormitory.

"Alas, alas, unruly." Ying Shu was very panicked, for fear that she would have a bad reputation in front of the outside.

"It's okay, there's no one in the temple." Shen Bin gently put Yingshu on the bed, gently covered Yingshu with the quilt, with a warm smile in his eyes, and said stupidly: "Sleep." ”

"What about you?" Ying Shu's eyes were half-open, "Are you tired?" ”

"I'm not tired, I'll go to my eldest brother when you fall asleep, and I'll fan you." Shen Bin smiled, picked up a silk butterfly through the flower fan from the side and fanned it gently, the force was gentle, the wind silk was cool and gentle, and it was naturally the most comfortable.

Ying Shu fell asleep in a daze.

When Ying Shu came again, she saw that Shen Bin was still fanning herself with a smile, and the smile in her eyes was not diminished.

When he saw that Yingshu was awake, he leaned closer and was concerned: "Are you awake?" Did you sleep well? ”

Ying Shu softened her eyes, but she was also a lot more sober, "You have been staying here to fan me?" ”

The man smiled innocently, "I'm afraid you won't sleep well, the wind is too cold this time, and it's not easy to use." I'm afraid you're hard. ”
