Chapter 297: The Princes (1)

Midsummer is coming, but the weather is still hot, in the east courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Powerful Place, the towering ancient trees are hidden and hissing, and the frogs in the pond behind the house are waiting for nightfall. The lotus leaves didn't move, and there wasn't a hint of wind. The windows on all four sides of the room were closed, and the curtains were lowered to block the heat from outside. There are large urns in the four corners, and ice cubes are placed in the urns, so it is not very hot in the room.

Behind the rosewood screen is a delicate embroidered bed, on which are hung with all kinds of beautiful sachets and silk, and a little person sleeps in a lotus-colored hibiscus tent, and a maid is kneeling beside the bed and is fanning her. The door creaked open, and another delicate maid walked in, holding a fruit bowl with four lychees frozen in ice.

The maid who was kneeling in front of the bed stood up, walked over and whispered, "Lychee? It must have been sent by the eldest lady, right? ”

The maid who served the fruit plate smiled and said: "Yes, Xiaoxue, the eldest lady just called me over, what else should I do, it turned out that the lychee in the palace was obtained from the Yuwang Mansion, and it was specially sent to the eldest lady." Although our prince is kind-hearted, he doesn't know that the eldest lady doesn't like to eat lychees, but our ancestor loves it very much, so there are four of them, and all of them are brought. ”

Xiao Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered: "Be quiet, don't let her hear it, I just kept shouting about the heat, and it was easy for me to fall asleep." Put it in the urn first, and then give it to her when she wakes up. ”

Shuang'er put the fruit bowl into the urn, walked to the bed and took a look, the little man on the bed was sleeping soundly, but he was still frowning, and the beads of sweat on his forehead must have felt hot in his dreams. I also took a fan and fanned it with Xiaoxue.

But she woke up in half an hour, the two of them were busy opening the curtains and dressing her, the little girl with pink makeup and jade makeup, her sleepy eyes were even more cute, and her little hands like glutinous rice dumplings rubbed her eyes, yawned and said: "I really can't get by, it's still so hot this day." ”

Shuang'er said while serving her dress: "Miss, get up and wash your face, there are good things for Miss!" ”

"What's good?" Saying that, she got dressed, took the towel handed by Xiaoxue and wiped her face, and saw Shuang'er coming with a fruit bowl, with four lychees in it, and the ice cubes had melted, she couldn't help laughing: "It's really a good thing." ”

Shuang'er helped her peel it and put it in her mouth, she tasted it carefully, and said with a smile: "I thought it was gone now!" Who knows if there is any, where did you get it? ”

Shuang'er said the calendar, she smiled and nodded: "It seems that this future brother-in-law is not bad to my sister!" It's hard for him to think of such a rare thing, but my sister doesn't like it, so much so that I get wet. ”

As he was talking, he heard the voice of the lady outside the window: "Ah Wanke is awake?" ”

Ah Wan jumped out of bed, ran to the door with a smile and opened the door and said, "Mother, I'm awake, it's such a big day, why do you have to run, if there is something to call the girl." ”

Mrs. Shen came in, pinched Ah Wan's hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "Send you new clothes, today is your aunt's birthday, hold a dinner in the palace, let Xiaoxue and Shuang'er bathe you and change your clothes, and take you into the palace together." ”

Ah Wan tilted her head and asked: "In the past, I wanted to enter the palace, but my mother said that there was no call, and I have no grade, so she didn't take me there, can you go today?" ”

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "Today is the emperor's amnesty, saying that your aunt's family can go to the palace to celebrate her birthday, so it is cheap for you." ”

Ah Wan pouted and said, "I'm not going, the rules in the palace are scary, and I'm used to it." ”

Mrs. Shen pretended to be angry and said, "You also know that you have no rules!" If you get cheap and sell well, stop playing tricks and go take a shower. ”

Ah Wan was led by Xiaoxue and Shuang'er to the back bath, soaked for a while, got up and changed into new clothes, and then went to her mother's room. My sister was also there, and when she saw that she smiled at her, Ah Wan obediently sat down in the seat under her sister.

Mrs. Shen nodded and smiled: "That's fine, like a young lady of everyone, you will enter the palace later, but you are not allowed to mess around." ”

Ah Wan muttered, "When have I ever messed around." ”

Shen Yuan looked at her and smiled again, and asked, "Is the lychee delicious?" ”

Ah Wan said: "That's it." ”

Shen Yuan smiled: "Yo, you are becoming more and more amazing now, such a rare thing, just like that?" ”

Ah Wan raised her head and grimaced at her sister and said, "I know it was sent by my brother-in-law, you haven't entered someone's door yet, and you're learning to help others!" She deliberately bit the sound of the word "brother-in-law", and Shen Yuan really blushed. Ah Wan smirked.

Mrs. Shen shook her head helplessly and muttered, "You two! ”

Ah Wan grinned, and Shen Yuan helplessly turned her head away. Although she is ten years older than her sister, there is really nothing she can do about this sister, and no one in the family is unfavored, although she has a strange temper because of this, so she has not done anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes her mouth is so sweet that the adults really can't lose their temper, so they let her go freely. said and said, but couldn't beat and couldn't fight, Shen Yuan had to shut up and ignore her.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Mrs. Shen took her two daughters into the carriage, and the carriage drove leisurely towards the palace. Along the way, Mrs. Shen told Ah Wan not to do wrong things, not to say the wrong things and other precautions, and Ah Wan responded one by one, because it was too hot and kept fanning.

It's almost evening, but it's still so hot, my aunt was born in such weather, no wonder her temper is so short-tempered. But her title is just a "soft" word, thinking of this, A Wan has a strange smile on her lips.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he heard the sound of the guards checking and then continued to walk, and when he reached the second palace gate, the carriage could no longer go inside. I could only get out of the car and walk into the inner courtyard of the palace. So, the three of them walked all the way, and they didn't know how long they had walked, and how many palace gates they had passed, and then they entered the harem, arrived at the palace where the concubines lived, and turned around a few places, and finally arrived at the Yuping Palace where the aunt lived.

After the report, a palace maid in palace clothes came out to greet her with a smile, and led the three into the hall, and Ah Wan finally saw her aunt Roufei.

"The folk women see the concubine Rou Niangniang." Mrs. Shen and her two daughters knelt down together to say goodbye.

"Come on, get up, it's all your own family." Concubine Rou smiled and said, when she saw the petite Shen Wan, she beckoned to her and said with a smile, "Ah Wan is so old, when I went back to save my relatives the year before last, she was only so little." ”

Ah Wan walked up to Concubine Rou and called out sweetly: "Auntie." ”

"Good." Concubine Rou seemed to like it very much, pinched Ah Wan's face, turned back to the palace maid and said, "Go and see what Xi is doing today, if it's okay, call him over to see his cousin." ”

"Yes."

The palace maid took the order, and Ah Wan thought to herself, cherishing this day, she is her cousin, the eighth son of the emperor born to the emperor and her aunt, and it is said that she is a very gentle and good person, and she wants to see this cousin very much.

Not long after, the eighth prince came out to meet the guests, Ah Wan looked back, but saw a very handsome boy walked over, the eighth prince is only ten years old this year, wearing an extremely soft textured gown, with a jade-inlaid forehead on his forehead, a small braid on his head, his face is like a crown of jade, and his eyes are like stars.

When Ah Wan saw it, she liked it very much, and couldn't help but smile at him, but she smiled at him and stunned him, and his white jade-like face turned red.
