Chapter 58: Greetings

Yujing is hot early this year, and before the Dragon Boat Festival, you can wear sari clothes.

Xiao Yuanhao is still wearing a jacket, and every time she gets out of school and the eighth princess Xiao Yuanshu jumps all the way, she is sweaty, but her little hands are cold to the touch, and the Empress Dowager Xu doesn't dare to let her take off the jacket.

Mrs. Lanxiang Qian Yingping personally washed the handkerchief, wiped Xiao Yuan's sweat first, and then pulled Xiao Yuanshu over, and said angrily: "Ashu, you are a sister, why don't you let your sister?" ”

Xiao Yuanshu smiled and said, "Xiao Shi doesn't need me to let her, she can run fast!" ”

Xiao Yuan likes to play with Xiao Yuanshu, firstly, it is good for children to move more, and secondly, it is not necessary to bother to play with Xiao Yuanshu.

Xiao Yuanshu was happy and unhappy, all written on her face, and she was sincere to everyone.

Xiao Yuan doesn't have to think about dealing with her at all, as long as he gets along naturally.

Playing with Xiao Yuanshu for a while, Xiao Yuanhao feels like a real child.

She wiped her hands and face, snuggled up to the Empress Dowager Xu's side, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Zheng Zhaoyuan and Xu Jieyu will bring the ninth sister over to say goodbye." ”

Empress Dowager Xu frowned: "Come in the morning, and come this night, I'm afraid it's not to smooth out the land of my Wanfu Palace." ”

Xiao Yuanshu said curiously: "Grandmother, my grandmother is also here sooner or later." ”

Empress Dowager Xu couldn't help laughing: "Can your aunt be like Zheng Zhaoyuan?" Your aunt has nothing to ask for, Zheng Zhaoyuan has what she needs. ”

Xiao Yuanshu didn't understand it, so she quietly asked Xiao Yuanhao: "Little Shi, what does grandmother mean by what she said?" ”

Xiao Yuanhao stuffed a piece of snack into Xiao Yuanshu's hand, and the two little heads came together and whispered.

"Don't ask your grandmother about this, and don't ask Aunt Qian when you go back." Because she has the best relationship with Xiao Yuanshu, and Mrs. Lanxiang is very good to Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuanhao simply changed her name to Mrs. Lanxiang and Aunt Qian.

She nodded at Xiao Yuanshu, who looked dazed: "My father took back the right to govern the palace from Mrs. Allure and gave Aunt Qian temporary management, Zheng Zhaoyuan is red-eyed, so she comes to grind her grandmother every day." ”

Xiao Yuanshu couldn't help but snort softly: "How can she have the face to fight with my mother?" She didn't even earn a wife. ”

After a while, Zheng Zhaoyuan and Xu Jieyu really led the ninth princess Xiao Yuan over to say goodbye.

The two little heads immediately separated, and greeted Xiao Yuanwen affectionately.

The three sisters moved to Xiao Yuan's side hall to do their homework.

Xiao Yuanshu complained that Mr. assigned too much homework, and after writing for a while, he went to play shuttlecock with the little palace maid. Xiao Yuan's wife completed her homework quietly.

Xiao Yuan has written his own, and he has to help write Xiao Yuanshu.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshu also helped Xiao Yuanshu write a small letter.

"Tenth sister," she said softly, "I am embarrassed by my aunt like this. ”

Xiao Yuanhao raised his eyebrows: "Ninth sister, what are you talking about?" I don't understand. ”

Xu Jieyu is the maiden niece of the Empress Dowager Xu, but she is close to Zheng Zhaoyuan, and the two have always been called sisters in the palace.

Xiao Yuan's wife put down her pen and looked at Xiao Yuan fixedly for a long time before she said, "Tenth sister, you understand." My aunt and Zheng Zhaoyuan are different. ”

Xiao Yuan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, is Xu Jieyu the same as Zheng Zhaoyuan, and what does it have to do with her?

She doesn't want to get involved in the infighting in the palace, even if she wants to, she is just a little girl now, and she can't do it.

At most, it was just a complaint in the ears of Empress Dowager Xu and Xiao Qian.

Xiao Yuan winked at Xiao Yuan's sister-in-law: "I don't understand what Sister Nine is saying, I'm going to play with Sister Eight, Sister Nine, are you coming?" ”

She pushed the book and ran to find Xiao Yuanshu by herself.

Xiao Yuanhao used to be a patient with uncoordinated hands and feet, and he didn't be able to kick more than one shuttlecock, but now he can kick four or five from scratch with Xiao Yuanshu and the little palace maid.

The two little princesses were sweating profusely, and it wasn't until Mama Jiang came out to shout for dinner that they went back to the house hand in hand.

Empress Dowager Xu snuggled up to the ninth princess Xiao Yuan, and as soon as she saw the two little princesses, she deliberately made a straight face: "Why are you so dirty?" Mud monkeys in general, look at Grandma! ”

"Auntie, how can Auntie compare with the tenth princess?"

Xu Jieyu smiled lightly: "The tenth princess is the eldest princess's concubine, and our aunt can't compare." ”

Empress Dowager Xu coughed heavily, her face unpleasant: "Man Qing, Ah Wan and Ah Hao are the same." ”

Zheng Zhaoyuan said quickly: "How can this be the same? How noble the ten princesses are, not only the queen's daughters, but also the stars of Wenqu. I heard that in Zhangping County, a suburb of Beijing, several places have begun to build ancestral halls for the ten princesses, saying that the ten princesses are the reincarnation of Nuwa Niangniang......"

Empress Dowager Xu became more and more unhappy: "Let's eat, where do you have so much to say." Zheng Zhaoyuan, you taste, this is the rock sugar hoof made in the palace of your aunt Mrs. Cuiwei. ”

Xiao Yuanhao immediately looked at the Empress Dowager Xu, and the Empress Dowager Xu understood, and said, "You eat less, Ah Hao and I still have to eat." ”

Zheng Zhaoyuan's chopsticks holding the hooves stopped in mid-air, did she want to eat or not?

After eating, the Empress Dowager Xu began to chase away guests, Zheng Zhaoyuan didn't want to leave, and looked at the flowers raised in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xu, and the Empress Dowager Xu herself felt embarrassed.

"It was made by a few of the Jade Girls, and I occasionally remembered to water it."

Zheng Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "That's also because these flowers were born in the queen mother's palace and were stained with the blessings of the queen mother, so they grew well." ”

Empress Dowager Xu didn't take a chance, and asked Mrs. Lanxiang: "Is the Dragon Boat Festival arranged?" ”

Mrs. Lanxiang hurriedly stood up and replied: "If I returned to the Queen Mother, I have already ordered someone to send incense to Ci'an Temple and Xuantian Temple, and porridge sheds and cake shops have also been set up at various city gates. ”

Empress Dowager Xu nodded: "Have you checked the rice and noodles?" But don't be shoddy. The porridge should be thick, don't be stingy with rice, and look back at the soup and little water, which makes the people feel uncomfortable. ”

Zheng Zhaoyuan interjected: "Alas, the Queen Mother, your old man is really a living Bodhisattva, if it was like this in previous years, it would be fine, but this year, because of the flood lake, the people in the suburbs of Beijing have not been affected, why do you still have to set up porridge sheds and cake shops?" If you want a concubine to say, just don't set it up, what is it good to save that silver? Life in the palace is not easy......"

Empress Dowager Xu was so angry that her eyes widened: "Is there a lack of food for you in the palace or for you to wear?" ”

Zheng Zhaoyuan smiled wryly: "Queen Mother, isn't the concubine just to save money in the palace?" ”

"Zheng Zhaoyuan doesn't know the rules here," Mrs. Lan Xiang smiled and played a round game, "Don't say that there was no disaster this year, even if it was affected by disasters in previous years, the common people don't expect this Dragon Boat Festival three-day porridge shed cake shop to live, and their own imperial court will distribute relief food." This is the kindness of our Queen Mother, who has persisted for so many years, how can it be said that it will be wasted? ”

Zheng Zhaoyuan secretly rolled her eyes, sneered at her teeth: "Mrs. Lanxiang usually eats fasting and recites Buddha, and her heart is like the Buddha, she is used to being pure, and we mortals can't compare with it." ”
