Chapter 117 Preparing for the New Year

The time of the next dynasty has finally arrived, and the two little masters of Chengqian Palace seem to have reached a consensus, and staged a good show of sisterhood and kindness in front of Shangguan Jinmo.

"Your Royal Highness, Concubine Niangniang, the carriage is ready and ready to leave at any time." Jinxi smiled and said.

"Hmm" Shangguan Jinmo snorted lightly, smiled and hugged Chu Mengxi in his arms and said, "I want to have a few more drinks with Grandpa Chu today." ”

"Mo~" Chu Mengxi called sweetly, and said distressedly: "Don't drink too much, otherwise, the concubine doesn't know whether to persuade His Royal Highness or her father." ”

"Then you have to think about it." Shangguan Jinmo chuckled and nodded Chu Mengxi's forehead.

"Ink~"

Chu Mengxi obediently snuggled in Shangguan Jinmo's arms and walked to the carriage outside the hall.

In the Qilan Palace, Song Qishu quietly looked at the distant figures of everyone, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the main hall that she had not entered for several days, and a wave of worry surged in her heart.

"The little master is not in a hurry, the slave maid thinks that His Royal Highness is looking at that person fresh, but the two Liangdi also had this when they entered the palace, but later they didn't all press the little master." Rong Lin said soothingly.

"However, I always feel that Chu Mengxi is not easy to deal with." Song Qishu said calmly.

"The little lord has thought too much, right? Look at how she looks, where can she compare with the little master. ”

Is it? Can't you compare? But what if she conceived her firstborn son? I have been in the palace for two years, but I am not pregnant, and it seems that this issue must be taken seriously.

-Cherish Cloud Garden-

The sound of "Zheng Zheng" came from the boudoir, and a melodious and tactful song of the phoenix flew out at the fingertips. The green hair is gorgeous, the pearl hairpin is ringing, and there is no chill in the room where the silver carbon fire dragon is baked.

At the end of the song, everyone indulged in the music, fantasizing about their own love and husband. Yunshang raised her eyebrows slightly, and the warmth on her face faded by two points. He said softly: "It's Chinese New Year's Eve in two days, have you prepared a New Year's gift?" ”

"Miss Hui, the New Year's gift has been prepared according to the routine of previous years. It's just, Miss Linxuan's courtesy? Zijuan returned softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing everyone's feelings.

Every year, Yunshang must prepare a New Year's gift for everyone. The annual gifts of each province are arranged by the eldest princess, but the annual gifts of all elders and friends need to be prepared. There is nothing to restrict, nothing more than some supplements for the elders, customized jewelry for close friends in the boudoir, those in the palace are special, and they basically have to prepare something different every year.

And this year, at the time of the state banquet, the emperor's uncle had already given marriage to his brother and Lin Xuan, and the two governments were also very satisfied. This also means that Lin Xuan is the daughter-in-law recognized by their Zhenguo Mansion and the future princess. I'm afraid this gift will be a little heavier than in previous years.

Yunshang nodded slightly and said, "That's right, my brother can be in the study?" ”

"Back to Miss, the young master went out of the house early this morning, and now he is not in the study." Ruby returned with a smile.

"Oh? Out of the house? Hmm~ It seems that my brother has been a little busy recently, and he hasn't eaten at the house for a few days. Yunshang frowned and said.

Considering the cold weather in winter, Xia Guogong and the eldest princess avoided them from going back and forth, and simply ate in their own courtyards. It's been a few times since I saw Yun Xuan.

"Didn't you make an appointment with your compatriots again? Let's go out for a walk today and stock up on some New Year's goods. I don't limit you today, Zijuan follows me, you all go home, prepare some New Year's goods, Hongyu, and send the reward later. Leave one person in the courtyard to watch. Yunshang said with a smile.

"Miss, why only Sister Zijuan is left, and the slave also wants to go shopping with Miss." Hongyu said coquettishly.

"Why don't you want to go home?" Yunshang asked with a smile. Zijuan is different from them, no one in her own family is in the capital, she is an orphan girl, so she stays by her side every year, and she doesn't seem so lonely. Although Hongyu and the others came out of the palace, they are all born in the capital, and they also have some assets in their families, which are not rich, and there are still a few acres of thin fields.

"Miss, don't you know, the sister-in-law of the Hongyu family has added a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and Hongyu is reluctant to reward it." Midori quipped with a smile.

"Green Warp!" Hongyu hurriedly slapped Lu Qiao and said, "Miss, don't listen to her nonsense." ”

"Okay, okay, your sister-in-law gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, Zijuan, I remember that I have two auspicious beads, and I will take them to Hongyu in a while, and I will give them a New Year's gift." Yunshang said with a smile.

"Miss can't help it." Hongyu hurriedly waved his hand

The two auspicious beads are made of red gold, which was obtained on the birthday of the young lady, one is inlaid with deep-sea gold beads, and the other is decorated with rubies, and the beads alone are enough for ordinary people to chew for half a year. Where does Hongyu dare to go.

"There's nothing to be desired, just give them a New Year's gift at that time." Yunshang smiled and said, "Okay, let's disperse, Zijuan will change my clothes for me." ”

"Yes, Miss"

After a while, one of Yunshang's hair was curled into a fallen horse bun, decorated with plum blossoms and snow-white hostas, the hairpin body was based on white jade, decorated with plum blossom-shaped red coral, and the stamens were filamented with gold threads, and the flowers were exquisite, sometimes blooming gorgeously, sometimes with buds not exposed. The stamens are decorated with incense beads, although they are fake flowers, but they emit bursts of fragrance.

Due to the loss of the tiger talisman, the lock of the hundred lives was also destroyed, and the concubine wore a string of southern pearls outside the red jacket skirt, each of which was full and round, and the white rabbit fur on the skirt contrasted with each other.

The skirt is embellished with auspicious bird patterns, delicate Shu embroidery, the shape of the bird is outlined vividly, and the gorgeous coat color is not dull on the red skirt of the concubine. The slender waist is tied with a moire brocade belt, and the multicolored waist is made of rings. The waist is embellished with a heart plum blossom knot, and each plum blossom knot is decorated with gilded small beasts, such as the size of a soybean, but all of them are fine.

Zijuan carefully put on a sable cloak for Yunsheng, and said with a smile: "Miss's little face is almost covered up by this cloak." ”

Yun Sheng smiled slightly, picked up a light gray mink cloak and said, "Have you ever distributed the newly made cloak this year?" ”

"Miss Hui's words, it has been sent, and everyone is reluctant to wear it, saying that it is not bad last year, and this new one will be worn again on New Year's Day." Zijuan lowered her head and tidied up Yunsheng's clothes and replied with a smile.

Yunshang nodded, put the cloak in his hand and Zijuan and said, "I heard that you watched you give your cloak to Bihe. Let's use this for the New Year. ”

"Miss, the slave's cloak last year is still new, no need." Zijuan said with excuses.

"It's been made in the past few days, it's a bit rushed, don't mind." Yun Sheng tied Zijuan's belt and said with a smile, "I'm more curious about who Bihe gave her cloak to." ”

Zijuan saw that Yunshang insisted on giving the cloak to herself, and no longer shirked, and said with a smile: "The slave is also very curious. I just haven't asked yet. ”

"Really? You'll have to ask her another day. Yunshang smiled and took the hand stove, and Zijuan helped her out of the main hall door.

Bypassed the flower hall, walked out of the garden gate and walked all the way to the house gate. I saw a servant girl coming towards me, and said respectfully: "I've seen Miss." Miss, the Third Highness has come to visit, and she is in the main hall. Is the lady going to the main hall? ”

"Little ...... Belch...... The Three Emperor Brothers have arrived? Who is with you in the main hall now? Have you ever told your parents? Yunshang asked thoughtfully.

"Miss Hui, His Royal Highness will not let the lord and Mrs. by name. Now he is accompanied by Steward Xia. The maidservants replied one by one.

Seeing this, the corners of Zijuan's mouth raised, and said with a smile: "The Third Highness seems to be busy with Chinese New Year's Eve recently, I'm afraid there is something I want to ask, has Miss seen it?" ”

"Well, the Third Emperor Brother said this, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, so let's go and see it." Yun Sheng said as usual. "Okay, you go and get busy, Zijuan can accompany me."

"Yes, miss," the maidservant blessed herself, bowed and retreated.

"Miss?" Zijuan saw that Yunshang was a little stunned, and called softly.

"Well, it's okay, but I didn't expect to come to the house to find me directly, and I don't know what it was." Yunshang lowered her head and thought.

Today is the day when Chu Mengxi returns to his hometown to save his relatives, could it be that something happened in the palace or the Qingguo Mansion?

"Miss, don't think about it too much, the slave maid sees that His Highness misses Miss." Zijuan covered her lips with a handkerchief and said.

"Don't mess around." Yunshang reprimanded her angrily. But the smile in the corner of his eyes was an expectation that couldn't be hidden.

After walking for a while, I went around the back hall and entered the main hall, only to see that above the main hall, Shangguan Jinqi was wearing a cyan cloud brocade straight jacket, outlining the moire fine waves with gold and silver threads on the clothes, and embroidering a winged eagle with Shu embroidery, a green jade belt around the waist, and a snow-white carved fur. The long hair is like a waterfall, and the hair is tied with white jade. The usual murderous aura is a lot less, adding a little elegant charm. It's just that the gentleness in those phoenix eyes is still so familiar.

"I've seen Princess Yunshang" Leng Xuan respectfully asked for An, saying that it was better to say that it was to remind An. At this moment, his master was looking at Yunshang in a daze.

Hey, shame on you.

The master who was as cold as an iceberg made a decision to kill in front of people, how could he become like this when Princess Yunshang became like this.

Well, Princess Yunshang's outfit today is indeed quite good-looking. But master, can you pay attention?

"Meet the Third Emperor Brother" Yunshang smiled and blessed her body.

"I've seen the imperial sister Yunxiang, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in the near future, and there is a banquet in the palace, I wonder if the imperial sister's annual gift to the imperial grandmother has been prepared?" Shangguan Jinqi said in a deep voice.

"I have some ideas, I don't know if the Third Emperor Brother is here for this this time?" Yunshang asked with a smile.

"Exactly, this palace is not proficient in these, and I want to bother the imperial sister to help you with a detailed one, I wonder if the imperial sister is free?" Jinqi asked coldly. Except for those eyes, outsiders really think that the Third Highness is really unreasonable, and it can be so blunt to entrust someone to do things.

"It just so happens that this palace is also planning to go out to buy some New Year's gifts." Yunshang replied with a smile.

"There is Lao Huangmei, please!"

"Three Emperor Brothers, Please"

The two lowered their eyebrows slightly, walked out of the main hall together, and walked out.

Yunsheng's carriage outside the palace gate had already been prepared, but coincidentally, Jinqi also came by carriage.

"The royal sister's carriage doesn't seem to be as spacious as the main palace, so can you take one together?" Jinqi asked calmly.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Brother Three Emperors, please" Yunshang nodded.

Jinqi made a cold invitation, watched Zijuan help Yunshang into the carriage, and stopped: "The carriage in this palace is a little small, you and Leng Xuan can take the carriage of the imperial sister." ”

Zijuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yun Shang, Yun Sheng looked at the corners of Jinqi's mouth with a trace of helplessness, although she was also a little like being alone with Xiaoyin, maybe she couldn't help it be so obvious.

"But the royal sister doesn't want to?" Jinqi still has an iceberg face. provoked the guards in front of the mansion to panic. Originally, I heard that His Royal Highness is a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, and it won't be unfavorable to the young lady, so what should I do if I want to tell the master.

"Zijuan, you can take the carriage in the house, and it will be convenient to come back when the time comes." Yun Sheng saw that everyone's faces were different, and said with a smile.

"Yes, Miss," Zijuan replied respectfully, turning around and walking towards the carriage behind.

Jinqi jumped into the carriage and opened the curtain to enter, Yunshang sighed slightly, lifted the half-hidden curtain and entered the carriage, not wanting to fall into a warm embrace just inside.

"Shang'er~"
