Chapter 24 Staying in the Palace
After the banquet was dispersed, the Queen Mother returned to Cining Palace with the eldest princess and Yunsheng, and slowly moved forward with three soft sedan chairs because of the late autumn night. Half an hour later, Fu returned to Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother had been in a low mood since the banquet. Yunshang faintly blamed herself in her heart.
"The queen mother doesn't have to be too sad." The eldest princess persuaded softly
"Big sister Xu is feeling that she chose such a tune for the occasion, don't be too depressed by the imperial grandmother," Yunshang whispered, stepped forward to hold the queen mother's hand and said slowly.
"The mourning family is not because of the song, but, hey" The Queen Mother sighed slowly, "Don't worry about it, you are tired today, so let's go and rest first." β
"The sons miss the queen mother very much, and I want to implore the queen mother to stay overnight tonight." The eldest princess leaned over and said
The Queen Mother looked at the eldest princess with soft eyebrows, only to feel that she had mixed feelings in her heart, and understood that the eldest princess was to comfort her, so she nodded in response.
Yunshang went to the palace before the eldest princess got married, rested in the Yongning Palace, fortunately the two palaces were not far away, about three minutes later, Yunshang and others entered the Yongning Palace, because of the love of the eldest princess, since the princess got married, the Yongning Palace has been kept intact, there are people cleaning every day, it is now night, the lights in the palace of Yongning Palace, but it is very lively.
Bypass the front hall, pass through the auspicious picture of the hundred flowers on the wall, the main hall comes into view, only to see a golden phoenix spread its wings gilded incense tripod in the center of the main hall, six white jade-faced rose chairs are placed on both sides, the first person is placed on both sides of the high red glaze beauty holding the flower official kiln bottle, a pair of cloisonnΓ© enamel luan birds, the red coral treasure tree is placed in the middle, bypassing the main hall through the garden, and then entering the main room.
I saw that the right side of the main house is a carved mahogany screen, and the back is a small tea room, and the left hand sees a yellow rosewood stepping bed. The furnishings are elegant and luxurious.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the bath soup is ready, please move the princess." The palace maid on the side said respectfully
"Well, you guys go down, there are Zijuan and Hongyu waiting for you."
"Yes"
The three of them went out of the main room, turned to the side room on the right, and when they entered the side room, Yunshang sighed and said, "I'm tired today, I'm so sleepy." β
Zijuan and Hongyu smiled and changed Yunshang's clothes, Hongyu thought for a while and asked, "Miss, the slave maid still doesn't quite understand why the Queen Mother is so angry. β
"When Miss specially sent that jade gong hou for repair, she knew that Miss Chu could play it?" Zijuan asked
"Hmm" Xia Yunshang nodded, "Chu Mengxi will naturally want to be outstanding when he participates in such a banquet for the first time, and he wants to be liked by the imperial grandmother." β
"Why?" Ruby said puzzled
"Not everyone can play that gonghou." Xia Yunshang said with a smile, and didn't explain anymore, diving her body in the warm bath, and the creamy skin was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the petals.
After bathing, Yunshang only felt extremely tired, and just returned to the wing room, she felt weak, and sleepiness struck, and even Zijuan and Hongyu did not wait for Zijuan and Hongyu to take off their coats, so they lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
As the night deepened, only candles were lit outside the screen in the wings, and the palace lamps in the corridor were faintly lit through the curtains.
The door opened softly with a squeak, "This is Xia Yunsheng?" β
"Exactly"
"It's a beauty, does the master really plan to cheapen Li Chengyin's waste?"
Yunshang felt two eyes staring at him tightly, listening to the voice seemed to be two women, today just entered the main hall and felt that the incense came strangely, the eldest princess likes Yanju incense, she likes Huahua and Fengzhu, and the incense burner is a thick lily incense, and even mixed with the incense that stunned her that day, and the body temperature rose when she bathed, which promoted the onset of medicine, how could she be.
Fortunately, since that day, I have been careful and put the detoxification pill in case of emergency. It seems that the prevention is right.
"Alright, don't worry about that." Xia Yunsheng held a golden hairpin with his fingers tightly, but he didn't want the two of them not to move forward, but walked to the yellow rosewood carved table under the window, opened the rosewood luodian inlaid treasure dresser on the table, closed it again, closed the door of the wing room and went out.
Yunshang's tense nerves slowly relaxed, what did these two want to do? Yunshang listened anxiously for a while, only to hear the sound of the breeze outside the room gently blowing the branches, and after a while, Yunshang got up and opened the dresser by the light in the corridor to look carefully. Strange, the head and face of the jewelry are the same, no more, no less? What the hell were those two trying to do? Yunshang dismantled the dressing box layer by layer, and there was nothing abnormal.
Yunshang was puzzled to restore the dressing box to its original state, and lay back on the bed tiredly, suddenly there was a sound of Suosuo, Yunshang was startled, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, only heard the sound of a gentle cat meow for a long time, and his body was slightly heavy, only to see a kitten with a black body, looking at himself with green light in his eyes, Yunshang was startled, and screamed out, the cat was startled, jumped to the ground and arched his back, and looked at Yunshang vigilantly, Yunshang leaned into the bed, but found that there was no maid in the middle of the day, could it be that the two people led the maid away or drugged?
Yunshang looked at the cat on the ground and exhaled softly, it's okay, it's just a kitten.
"Cat" Xia Yunshang whispered, the cat seemed to feel that Yunshang was not in danger, so he slowly lowered his vigilance, Yunshang found that the kitten's front feet were injured, and he was also very thin, and his heart was soft, so he got up and took out a white Su embroidered handkerchief from the drawer of the dresser, "Don't be afraid, cat, let me see, okay?" β
Yunshang cautiously approached the cat, only to feel that it did not dodge, so he gently picked it up, only to feel that the wound seemed to have a small amount of bleeding, so he got up and turned to the tea room, took out a bottle of gold sore medicine from the pavilion, and carefully sprinkled it to bandage the cat's injured front feet. The cat seemed to be grateful to Yunshang, and licked the back of Yunshang's hand with a soft little tongue, which was well-behaved and distressing.
"You, are you lost, and you're injured, don't run around in the future, you know?"
"Meow"
"Hmm~ I'm so tired, I'm too sleepy" Yunshang rubbed her eyes, hugged the cat and lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
Early morning dividing line
"Miss"
"Huh? What time is it? Xia Yunshang woke up leisurely under Zijuan's call, looked out the window and asked.
"Miss Hui, it's two o'clock"
"Hmm" Yunshang responded, reluctantly leaning on the soft pillow, and said depressedly: "Every time I enter the palace, I can't rest well, hey"
After struggling for a while, Zijuan and Hongyu got up after serving, changed into a colorful Luan Niao Shu brocade skirt, covered with half sleeves of moon white Qian snow yarn, tied with Ruan Yanluo's silk belt at the waist, and pedaled double butterfly beaded embroidered shoes, sitting in front of the dressing mirror, only to see the Emei sweeping in the rhombic mirror, the apricot eyes are affectionate, the red lips are slightly red, and the green temples are like clouds.
"Miss, can you comb your hair today?" Ruby asked with a smile
"Hmm," Yun Sheng replied with a smile, glancing at the jewelry in the dresser and said, "Have you ever brought a spare head?" β
"I've prepared it, a set of magnolia warm jade head noodles, a set of Nanzhu head noodles, I don't know which set Miss wants to use?" Ruby asked
"Nanzhu head noodles."
"Yes" Hongyu responded, out of the wing, after a while, he held a golden silk nanmu dressing box, and took out the head of the southern pearl for the cloud dress.
"Miss, can you eat?" Zijuan asked
"No need, if you want to come to the imperial grandmother, you will definitely stay for dinner, so go and say hello to the imperial grandmother and mother as soon as possible."
"Yes"
"By the way, you saw a little black cat when you entered the house?"
Zijuan and Hongyu looked at each other and shook their heads and said, "I haven't seen it." Miss looking for? β
"No need, let's go."
When she arrived in Cining Palace, the eldest princess had already gotten up, and the queen mother had not woken up because she slept last night, so Aunt Lanzhi, who was in charge, came to visit: "The old slave has seen the eldest princess and Princess Yunshang. β
"Mama, don't be like this, the queen mother didn't sleep well last night?" Aunt Lanzhi is the queen mother's handmaiden, and she has been deeply used by the queen mother's side since she was a child, and she has watched the eldest princess and Yunshang grow up, and the eldest princess regards her as an elder relative, but she is close to and respectful.
"Hey, the Queen Mother was worried last night, but fortunately, with the eldest princess by her side, it eased a lot."
"The queen mother has been in poor health in recent years, and I hope that my grandmother will persuade her more."
"The eldest princess can rest assured, the old slave can save it. The eldest princess and Princess Yunshang haven't eaten yet, and the queen mother has already ordered to stay for dinner, and there is no need to wait. β
"Thank you, Queen Mother, Imperial Grandmother."
After breakfast, I heard the voice of the eunuch outside: "The slave has seen the eldest princess and Princess Yunshang." β
"Excuse me"
"The queen lady Lao asked the eldest princess to go to Kunning Palace for a while."
"There is Father-in-law."
"Don't dare, eldest princess, please."
"Dress"
"Mother's Parent"
"The queen mother thinks it's too late today, so you don't have to wait here, just go shopping."
"Well, thank you, Mother." When the eldest princess and her father-in-law walked away, Yunshang didn't wait any longer, and said, "The weather is good today, so let's go to the Imperial Garden." You don't have to follow, Zijuan and Hongyu will follow. β
"Yes"
Imperial Garden Dividing Line
"Miss, the Imperial Garden is so beautiful at this time, like a painting." Hongyu said with a smile
"Hmph, it's really a little family who has never seen the world, where here is the beauty of our Beidi country." The sudden female voice broke the original quiet picture, and when she went to the prestige, she saw a woman with a good face, her face was not as snow-white as a cloud, but with a little honey, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a little impatience, wearing a red and yellow hat with gold coral beads, wearing a red robe, neckline, cuffs, and skirt are all embellished with phoenix-shaped curly grass patterns, with gorgeous colors, and small boots with floating brocade iris patterns.
"I've seen Princess Uruya," Xia Yunshang smiled and bowed.
"Do you know who I am?"
This princess of Urluya was the daughter of a prince of the Northern Di Kingdom, named Heshute Narentoya, and was given the title of princess. I just entered the capital two days ago, and I think that today I entered the palace with the prince of Beidi and Shuote Bayar to meet the emperor, and it is said that this princess originally entered the palace as a relative, and her personality is domineering.
"The princess is good-looking, so she naturally recognizes it." Xia Yunshang returned with a smile
"I even know who I am, and I still bow halfway, but I'm not afraid to do it!" Naren Toya is very dissatisfied, before leaving he knew that he was coming to kiss, although many dissatisfaction, but can only accept, since entering the palace then all the women in this palace are their own obstacles, look at this woman's dress, there is no phoenix hairpin, want to come to the position is not high.
