The palace is crowded with people, and almost all the official eunuchs of the major families are all out of the house, one is to take pictures of the prestige of the Jing Palace, and the other is to look at the girls who are dressed up in the house and the courtyard, cough cough, if you can't be a princess, it's good to get a side concubine. I heard that the empress dowager rewarded Li Xiao with a few beautiful palace maids, some of them became cannon fodder in the battle of the inner house, and some were sent away by Li Xiao. But it is said that it fell out of favor early.

After walking around and coming back, Ruqing also heard a lot of gossip news, and felt more and more that Rushan's chances of winning were too small, so small that she couldn't even imagine it. I really don't understand why she has so many goals and determinations.

Unconsciously, Ruqing looked at Rushan again, she was talking to a group of girls of the same age, but a pair of beautiful eyes glanced around from time to time, as if looking for something, she stopped for a while, gritted her teeth, and walked in the direction of the third sister-in-law, Lin.

Rushan is laughing with a few girls who are good friends in the boudoir. He looked at her secretly, exchanged glances with Lin, and walked towards Ruqing.

Seeing this, a girl who was talking to Rushan hurriedly snorted in their direction, and smiled at Rushan: "Your sister and sister-in-law have gone over there, why don't you go?" ”

Rushan glanced back, his lips raised slightly, and said lightly: "I'll wait and then go over." Anyway, there are so many things ahead to wait to pay homage to the princess. ”

Rushan is right, there are too many people who come to attend Princess Jingtai's birthday, and they are all with wives and daughters, and it will be their turn for a while.

Rushan's eyes swept around, I don't know what I was looking for, and suddenly saw a tall red figure, I couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly lifted my skirt and wanted to go over there, but my wrist was grabbed by someone, and I turned my head sideways, it was actually my sister-in-law Lin.

"Second sister, where are you going?"

Rushan said: "Go to the toilet." ”

Lin smiled and said, "The latrine in the palace is over there, do you want me to take you there?" ”

Rushan gritted his teeth, "No need. I'll go myself. Then with Lin's smiling gaze, he walked angrily in the other direction.

After a while, after Rushan came out of the "thatched toilet", he searched around, only to see the hall full of dignitaries and nobles, surrounded by women and golden hairpins, and girls in brocade clothes.

The men and women of the Daqing Dynasty are very strict in preventing crimes, but after entering from the main gate, most of them are separated, the male guests go to the Chaoyang Hall in the front yard, which is received by Li Xiao, and the women go to another corridor and go to the Chaoyue Hall in the middle courtyard.

The front yard and the middle courtyard are not clearly distinguished, but are separated by a pond and a cloister, leaving only a corridor in the middle, and a pavilion made of red cypress lacquered wooden pillars. But there is a difference between men and women, and in addition to the shuttles of the people and small servants in this corridor, no guest dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

The backyard is completely isolated, and the hanging flower door of Yutang rich and colorful petals is the dividing line and the only passage between the inner house and the outer house (front yard). There are side doors on both sides, and the inner courtyard and various rooms can also be reached through the verandahs on both sides of the pendulum door. This time, when the guests came to the door, the hanging flower door was officially opened, and Ruqing and other mermaids were accustomed to entering.

After entering the hanging flower door, a big red carpet has been spread to the middle hall, the hall hall with four doors on both sides, the plaque in front of the hall has three big characters "Chaoyue Hall". From a distance, you can see Princess Jing sitting on the same wood armchair next to the mahogany table of the Eight Immortals, smiling gracefully and luxuriously, and saying something from time to time.

Ruqing looked around while walking, and it was really magnificent, not magnificent, just a backyard hall, and the entire backyard of the top house was big.

After entering the backyard, I looked around at the bright figures everywhere, and at the door of the hanging flowers, there were only people who came in, and few went out. Ruqing looked at the corridor paved with Yunnan marble above the pool, but she was also a little relieved.

Probably Rushan also felt that it was difficult to see Li Xiao, so his face was not very good-looking, haggard, impatient, and resentful. Seeing that Ruqing was also looking at this corridor, she couldn't help but glare at her hatefully.

When it was almost noon, it was finally the turn of the daughters of the Fang family to pay their respects to Princess Jing. The Li family was in the center, and the He family and the Lin family stood on their sides, and if they were good, beautiful, or sunny, they all walked to the hall and kowtowed to Princess Jing.

Listening to the eunuch's singing with a sip, many female relatives in the hall quieted their voices, and couldn't help but look at Ruqing, the gossip protagonist who has been in the limelight recently.

I saw Ruqing following behind her family, respectfully stepped forward, kowtowed to Princess Jing, today's Ruqing wore a simple green folded branch green calyx plum blossom collar entwined branch flower placket, obliquely combed gold pendant corner of the small hairpin, only a pair of butterfly twisted gold and silver filigree chain photo gallery, the corner of the bun pressed with a pink rose wax flower, the back of the head white jade horn twisted jade comb inserted in the hair, the earrings are small and delicate ruby earrings, the green embroidered smoke willow embroidered Yuehua skirt at the feet, between kneeling and kowtowing, slowly after their own back, like a beautiful lady picture.

Ruqing learned the rules and etiquette in Mama Hua, at this time finally came into use, and recalled the dignified and overwhelming dignified etiquette when her sister-in-law He first visited her in-laws, and she also learned the same, and came to the hall lightly, her shoulders did not shake, her head did not shake, her eyes were level, her chin was slightly high, her steps were light, her hands held up her skirt, and she slowly knelt in the middle of the embroidered six flower circles, her hands were pressed flat on the ground, her forehead touched the ground, she knocked lightly, and then she got her approval slowly, first bent her right leg, and then slowly supported her other leg. Although the whole movement is slow, there is no sense of hindrance, and he is polite, speaking and acting, neat and generous.

Everyone secretly exclaimed, "This princess Jing is indeed a unique vision, this four girls, just kowtow can see that her family education is very strict." That Yun clan doesn't know the pearl with his eyes. ”

Princess Jing wore a vermilion embroidered gold pine crane pattern silk placket today, with a red gold five phoenix Chaoyang Dafeng bead fork on her head, and the tassels decorated at the end of the fork each spit out a huge southern pearl, bright and brilliant. The silver gilt dot emerald inlaid jade on the forehead is extraordinary, and the temperament is noble. Sitting in the hall, Wen Yan said a few words to the Li family, "We are about to become the in-laws of our children, the wives of our in-laws, so we don't have to be so polite." Come, give a seat. Li smiled and greeted him a few more words, and then led the two daughters-in-law and the three girls to retreat aside, Li was an elder, but also had a seat, sat in place on the eighth row of low chairs, and the three girls and sisters-in-law stood behind them.

Princess Jing's beautiful eyes swept away, and she found Ruqing again, stretched out her well-maintained hand, and beckoned to Ruqing: "Good boy, come here, let me take a look." ”

Ruqing slowly walked in front of her, Princess Jing looked her up and down, and slowly smiled at Li: "The fourth girl is not very old, and she is only one or two years older than Ying'er. But he was so sensible and well-behaved, and the lady and the old lady taught them very well. ”

Seeing Princess Jing praising Ruqing in public, Li also followed with Rongyan, "Princess Tai has won the award, my girl, in fact, is not a naughty bag." ”

Princess Jing smiled, and said softly to Ruqing: "It's cold outside, go inside and play naughty, it's full of girls of the same age as you, Princess Chunyang is also inside, anyway, sooner or later in the future, it's good to get acquainted with each other first." ”

Ruqing was slightly stunned, and with the consent of the Li family, she turned around and went out through the side door to the courtyard of Princess Chunyang.

There is a hole in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the gray girl in the scarlet gown leads Ruqing into the inner courtyard, a magnificent royal residence, which is actually built by the people by relying on the real mountains and real waters. The water and mountains are beautiful, and the trees are shady. Carved beams and painted buildings, thousands of postures. The scenery is beautiful and picturesque. All kinds of exquisite pavilions and pavilions are dotted in the winding paths, deep and secluded, flowers and leaves are sparse and beautiful, and the scenery is elegant.

Ruqing walked and looked, but I felt that my eyes were not enough to see. Yahuan led her through several corridors, passed a long water pavilion, and then entered another inner door, and suddenly appeared in front of her a prominent Taihu Lake mountain stone, exquisite and clear. Ruqing swore that she had grown so big, and it was the first time she saw such a huge Taihu Lake stone like three mountains and five mountains, and she couldn't help but stop and look at it. I couldn't help but be stupid for a while.

The girl who led the way saw Ruqing watching like this, her face was full of magic and curiosity, a pair of beautiful big eyes, flashing with incomparable satisfaction, set on her fair face, like pinching the tender peach blossom juice, which was particularly eye-catching. Xiao Yahuan couldn't help but look at Ruqing stupidly, and thought in her heart, "No wonder the princess loves this girl so much, she is really outstanding and charming." He didn't bother, but gently urged: "Girl, it's cold here, it's cold carefully." As soon as he spoke, his voice suddenly lowered again, and he knelt down by the pond, "The slave has seen the prince." ”-

Ruqing suddenly had a spirit, and hurriedly turned her head, staring at Li Xiao, who was wearing a jade warm hat and wearing a red embroidered four-clawed Wolong Qilin Mountain and River Golden Sword Xiangyun pattern brocade robe, and was staring at herself with a frown at the moment.

Ruqing secretly complained in her heart, didn't this guy greet guests in the front yard, why did he appear here again? Now that he has taken a look, it is on his territory again, and he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet.
