Chapter 21: The Legendary Princess Ningyi

In the past two days, Huangli Palace seems to have returned to calm. Jiang Li still reads books during the day and astrologs at night.

It's March, it's not cold, and the snow has melted away.

The primroses really bloomed, and the plum blossoms in the Huangli Palace withered. Several white pears in the courtyard have already broken their flower bones, and they will be in full bloom in a few days.

It was supposed to be a peaceful day, Jiang Li was sitting at the table alone, and there were four or five palace maids serving for lunch. She is using a product of mandarin duck bean paste, and she said that it is good to eat such sweets in spring, no matter how hot the weather is, she will feel sticky, and there is no happiness and satisfaction of eating sweets now.

While eating, Xiao Fuzi, the eunuch beside Jiang Jing, came, and passed on the king's edict, asking Jiang Li to enter the palace immediately and meet the distinguished guests.

Jiang Li couldn't think about it and couldn't think of who the distinguished guest in Xiaofuzi's mouth was. At least it can't be a native of Nanli, the father and queen mother, and even the national teacher is old, Jiang Li doesn't have to rush to see it. In this way, let a princess who protects the country and the daughter of destiny go to meet in person, I am afraid that it is also a noble figure from other countries.

Jiang Xue was astute, and saw that Jiang Li was dressed in homely apricot yellow clothes, and only two Hetian jade carved pear flower hairpins were pinned to her head, so she hurriedly ordered the palace maid to prepare for the master's makeup.

Jiang Li also had no intention of eating, and was served by Rin Shuang, who drank the refreshing Longjing after the meal, and went to the dormitory.

Yesterday, the palace Shangyi Bureau sent dozens of newly made spring clothes, the colors are mostly snow gray, bright yellow, and moon color, which are very light and elegant. In the wardrobe of ginger pear, most of them are such colors. The previous flower skirt is one in a hundred.

Glimpsing the layers of clothes, there seemed to be a light pink robe, Jiang Li pointed at it casually, and Rin Shuang immediately took it out and unfolded it.

This is a pink wide-sleeved Liuxian dress, similar to the look, a similar style was worn by Jiang Shuyue.

When she was young, Jiang Li always envied Jiang Guanyue, Jiang Guanyue could wear a pink butterfly skirt, but Jiang Li was not allowed to dress up too much, as long as she respected the etiquette system, it was often moon white and plain white dresses, and only two colorful phoenixes were embroidered on the cuffs and skirts to show her identity.

Later, when he was eight or nine years old, Queen Sun came forward and talked a lot with Cheng Lao. Jiang Li's hair has changed from various hostas to slightly eye-catching pearls, and she no longer wears plain white dresses, but is similar to princess dresses, but it is much more plain.

Although he couldn't wear a bright color like pink, Jiang Li was content at that time.

And now that he is at an age of six, he sent this pink skirt, and Jiang Li felt that it was not necessary, such a color was too jumpy, and he was no longer suitable.

"Twist this skirt and send it back to the Shangyi Bureau, what kind of clothes does he dare to send to my Huangli Palace?" Jiang Li sneered, casually pointed to another moon-white satin embroidered golden phoenix court robe, and asked Han Bi and others to serve and put it on.

The head was combed with a fairy bun, and a full of silver-gilded pear blossom hairpins were inserted, and three or four delicate silver and white pear flowers embroidered with silver threads were inserted. On the forehead is a sterling silver pearl ink-colored long tassel hair crown, and a string of ink-colored Yingluo is worn, which can be regarded as decent.

Jiang Li only felt tired, her neck was sore from the head of pearls and jade, and her court clothes weighed dozens of pounds, so she had to be supported by two palace maids to take a step.

The familiar official road, the familiar speedy eight horses, sent Jiang Li to the palace gate. She took a deep breath, straightened her back, slowly got off the phoenix carriage with a smile on her face, and walked the lotus step, step by step on the steps that led to the Chongde Hall with a red carpet.

Walking into the main hall without squinting, I saw Jiang Jingduan sitting on the dragon chair, and Jiang Li Yingying bowed: "See the king-"

"Ah Li is exempt." Although the voice was deep, it was a fatherly tone.

The little eunuch led her to sit down, Jiang Li glanced slightly, the queen's throne was replaced by Jiang Li's exclusive phoenix seat, she was right, and sat down with her skirt gently.

As soon as he smoothed his skirt and looked ahead, Jiang Li heard Jiang Jing's familiar voice coming from above: "Jiang Li, this is Princess Ning Yi who came all the way from Rong Guo, and she is the eldest daughter of Ning Hua, the lord of Rong Guo." ”

About Rong Guo, what can be said is that it will not be finished for three days and three nights. Everyone knows that the country of Rong respects women, and the lords of all generations are queens.

A woman can only marry and love a man, and there is no such thing as a wife and concubine. The prince is on an equal footing with the queen and can manage important military and political affairs with the queen.

Rong has inherited the throne by the eldest daughter of the queen in the past dynasties, if there is no daughter, the lord of the country will find a talented and intelligent woman from the royal family, accept her as a righteous daughter, and carefully cultivate and inherit the throne.

However, Ning Yi is a golden and noble jade, Ning Hua, the lord of Rongguo, has three sons and four daughters, and Ning Yi is the eldest child. Ning Yi has a free and easy temperament, both civil and military, and the world often says that if you allow a country to have Ningyi, you can have no worries for a hundred years.

Jiang Li looked sideways, and sure enough, the woman sitting next was indeed heroic, and her eyebrows and eyes were all amorous. She has willowy eyebrows, a pair of bright dark brown eyes, a small cherry mouth, and a broad and sharp face, which only makes people think that her beauty is too fierce and too aggressive.

Although she did not wear heavy makeup, her facial features were extremely gorgeous and beautiful, and she had an exotic style that the women of Nanli Country did not have. Her hair is not neatly coiled into a bun like Jiang Li, which is fixed by hairpins, but is braided into locks of small braids and scattered on her head at will.

Her hair was black and shiny, and her braids were even more beautiful. Her scalp was tightened, and Jiang Li wondered if such a tight scalp would hurt. Her hair was neatly braided, and it was already waist-high behind her, and her waistline was hidden by her long hair, looming, extremely charming.

Ning Yi's head was inlaid with translucent and sparkling diamonds, and her jet-black hair was thickly entwined together, and during the sparkle of the diamonds, her neck or hair moved slightly, and her hair was like a meteor shower, extremely bright.

"This is Lord Huangli? Sure enough, it is better to see than to hear, and it is easy to be in the next place. She made a flat salute, and when Jiang Li saw it, she also got up and bowed slightly.

Her voice is clear, her speech is extremely fast, and her upbringing does not seem to be Nanli customs at all. However, Jiang Li likes such a direct style of acting, and it is much easier to get along with than the writhing concubines in Nanli Palace.

Jiang Jing seemed to be very happy, pulling the two little girls to pull the homely routine. Ning Yi is sixteen years old this year, but she looks four or five years older than Jiang Li, she has been taken around by her mother since she was a child, and she is not as pampered as Jiang Li.

"Has the princess ever been married?" Jiang Jing's words fell, and Ah Li thought in her heart, finally there is no need to detour anymore, it would be nice if she went straight to the point.

"Not yet." What Ning Yi said was refreshing, and she didn't blush like Nanli when she mentioned such things.

"But Yi has his own sense of proportion, thank you for your care." She nodded slightly, as if she didn't want to say anything more.

Jiang Li pondered what she meant by this. It should have been straightforward, but Jiang Li was naturally thoughtful, and she must have had trouble sleeping tonight.
