Chapter 7: Finding a Handkerchief
Ye Xixi was woken up by Yuan Chun early in the morning, and opened her eyes and looked at Yuan Chun with resentment, "Yuan Chun, you are really getting bolder, what time is this?" ”
Yuan Chun whispered to Ye Xixi and said, "Eldest princess, it's the end of the hour, the emperor should come to pick up the eldest princess later, the eldest princess should hurry up." ”
Ye Xixi sighed resignedly, sat up, and Yuan Chun hurriedly called the maids waiting outside the door to come in and dress Ye Xixi and wash herself.
"Eldest princess, today is the birthday of the prospective concubine, the eldest princess is dressed more festively, right?" Yuan Qiu opened the closet and asked Ye Xixi.
Ye Xixi's eyelids were still fighting, and she let out a weak "En".
Yuan Qiu happily took out a set of red Liuxian skirts, with a white belt embroidered with gold threads, and Yuan Xia specially combed Ye Xixi with a flying fairy bun in order to match this skirt.
Ye Xixi was in a daze, and was dressed up by the maids.
The former eldest princess Mingxi was used to being free and easy, and she never liked to wear these complicated clothes on herself, so it was the first time to dress up so carefully.
Ye Xixi, who was dressed up, was stunned by the maids in the room, the skin that could be broken by blowing and the red fairy skirt looked even fairer, and several people felt that they had never seen such a beautiful woman, just like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, but the 'fairy' himself didn't know it, and he was still confused with his eyes closed.
Yuan Qiu, who was packing up his clothes on the side, suddenly nervously approached Yuan Chun, "Sister Yuan Chun, why do I think the eldest princess is missing a handkerchief?" If you lose it in the house, it's fine, but if you lose it outside the house, I'm afraid there will be gossip. ”
Handkerchiefs are a personal thing, women are very concerned, not to mention that Ye Xixi's handkerchiefs are embroidered with the word Xi, which is easily associated with the eldest princess Mingxi, Yuan Chun also became nervous, and the maids began to look around for the lost handkerchief.
Ye Xixi squinted for a while before she felt the noise of the maids, opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you all nervous? ”
Yuan Qiu pinched his fingers and replied worriedly, "Eldest princess, the handkerchief you used yesterday is missing, and your Xi character is embroidered on it, so I'm afraid that I picked it up with ulterior motives." ”
At the mention of the handkerchief, Ye Xixi suddenly became energetic, she ran to the War King's Mansion yesterday to deliver the antidote, and the handkerchief used to wrap the antidote seemed to be ...... It seems like...... It was thrown on Su Xingci's bed.
Ye Xixi bit her lip to keep herself calm, not to let herself lose her temper, her brain was running rapidly, "Is there a handkerchief embroidered with other words in this palace?" ”
Yuan Qiu thought for a while, and pulled out a handkerchief embroidered with the word Fu from the wardrobe, "This is the handkerchief that Miss used before she was six years old, and since Miss was named the eldest princess of Mingxi, she has always used it embroidered with Xi characters." ”
Ye Xixi took the handkerchief and felt a little relieved, "If you lose that handkerchief, you will lose it, and this palace has never been anywhere else, it is probably somewhere in the house, so don't worry"
Yuan Qiu nodded reluctantly, still a little worried in his heart, Ye Xixi stuffed the handkerchief embroidered with the word Fu into his sleeve, and heard the concierge announce, "The emperor has arrived." ”
Ye Xixi hurriedly got up and tidied up the folds of her clothes and went out.
Emperor Cang'an had naturally never seen such a well-dressed eldest princess of Mingxi, and the first thing he saw was a flurry.
Ye Xixi stepped forward and curtsied, "Brother Emperor." ”
Emperor Cang'an nodded with satisfaction, basically confirming that Ming Xi must be very satisfied with this marriage, otherwise it would be impossible for him to dress up so carefully on his quasi-concubine's birthday.
"Let's go, the hour is almost up."
Ye Xixi responded obediently, "Yes." ”
Emperor Cang'an took two steps, glanced at Ye Xixi again, and then looked at the maids who followed behind Ye Xixi.
"That's how you went?"
Ye Xixi rubbed her eyes, looked down at what she was wearing, and didn't feel that it was inappropriate, and looked at Emperor Cang'an puzzled, "Brother Emperor, is there anything wrong with me wearing like this?" ”
Emperor Cang'an pulled the corners of his mouth in disgust, "It has nothing to do with what you are wearing, today is your birthday as a quasi-concubine, so you will ...... Are you going empty-handed? What about gifts? ”
Only then did Ye Xixi react, she had been busy with the antidote yesterday, and directly left the preparation of the birthday ceremony behind, and stuck out her tongue at Emperor Cang'an, "Forget." ”
Emperor Cang'an sighed helplessly, and boasted a little proudly, "Fortunately, your emperor's brother understands you and has prepared two birthday gifts. ”
Ye Xixi smiled coquettishly at Emperor Cang'an, "Thank you, Brother Emperor, I know that Brother Emperor is the best." ”
Emperor Cang'an raised his chin proudly, "Let's go." ”
Ye Xixi smiled and followed Emperor Cang'an and got into the carriage.
The War King's Mansion today can be described as unprecedentedly lively, the officials above the third grade are basically all here, in addition to the errands who are still doing business outside, there is also the Qingguo Gong family who has just died of the eldest grandson, there are no female dependents in the War King's Mansion, only the War King and the Prince of War, and everyone has heard the rumors, Emperor Cang'an is to increase the feelings of the princess and the quasi-concubine to hold a birthday banquet for the Quasi-Concubine, so no one has no eyesight to bring his daughter here.
Who dares to bring it, is this to steal the limelight from the eldest princess? Naturally, they didn't dare.
All the male guests were waiting in the flower hall for the arrival of Emperor Cang'an and Princess Mingxi.
Finally, the porter announced, "The emperor has arrived, and the eldest princess of Mingxi has arrived." ”
Everyone knelt down and saluted, "See the emperor, see the eldest princess Mingxi, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the eldest princess of Mingxi, long live the thousand years old." ”
Emperor Cang'an was obviously in a good mood, with a spring breeze on his face, "Aiqing, get up." ”
After speaking, he strode towards the main seat, Ye Xixi followed behind Emperor Cang'an, and sat in the first position on the right side of Emperor Cang'an, and when the two of them sat down, Emperor Cang'an waved his hand, "Zhong Aiqing, please take a seat,"
Su Xi sat opposite Ye Xixi, while Su Xingci sat on Ye Xixi's right.
It was the first time for Su Xingci to observe the eldest princess of Mingxi so closely, on her fair face, her pink lips, and a pair of big eyes flashed intently, Su Xingci pinched the handkerchief on the cuffs again, and felt that her heartbeat seemed to be faster.
Emperor Cang'an looked at Su Xingci's gaze on Ye Xixi's body, and his self-confidence exploded even more, "Xingci, today is your birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, and you will have to treat my Mingxi well in the future, you know?" ”
Su Xingci got up elegantly, bent down and saluted, "Wechen has thanked the emperor, and Wechen will live up to the emperor's trust." ”
Emperor Cang'an nodded, "Sit down, don't be restrained, all the Aiqing, enjoy this delicious food." ”
"Your Majesty." Everyone thanked the emperor and ate it.
Ye Xixi almost didn't communicate with Su Xingci during the whole process, ate by herself, deliberately dipped some soup on her mouth, took out the handkerchief in the cuff and wiped it, and put it on the edge of the table where Su Xingci could see it.
