When Liu Yan went up the steps, there was a gust of wind blowing, and there was white fluff floating in the air, overwhelming, unkempt and unkempt, it was already spring, so at first glance, it seemed like goose feathers and heavy snow again.

Liu Yan was almost blinded by the wind, she stood still and waited for the wind to stop before moving forward.

The newly replaced curtains of the Yilan Hall are stained with a thin layer of white wool, and there are two little palace maids in the corridor not far away who are cleaning the carved railings with dusters - this kind of weather is not good if you are not diligent, and you may not be idle for a month.

As soon as Empress Cao saw Liu Yan, she beckoned to her: "Come here." ”

Liu Yan found out that her mother had been particularly ...... recently

Well, very motivated.

Not beat around the bush.

Liu Yan hadn't seen her mother so keen and busy with one thing for a long time.

After becoming an emperor from her father to an emperor, and her mother becoming an empress, she has a special have, well, she is the style of her mother in the world, she is shocked, it seems that nothing is a big deal for her, and it is also worth her attention.

But now that Queen Cao is working hard to marry her daughter, Liu Yan is a little frightened.

The queen mother doesn't want to see her, and she wants to splash her out as a basin of water.

But if you don't want to see her, you can't afford to get her so many precious dowries.

Empress Cao asked Liu Yan to come over to see, of course, the dowry prepared for her.

"Look at this inkstone, it was sent by the treasurer today, this is called a fragrant inkstone. Do you smell it, is it fragrant? ”

Liu Yan didn't have to come up to smell a faint aroma.

I can't say what kind of incense this smell is, it's very good, faint, not like flowers, not like the fragrance of wood.

"With this grinding ink, it is said that the ink that is ground out also has a fragrance, and when it is written on paper, the aroma can not disperse for a long time."

Liu Yan carefully looked at the black and heavy inkstone, and touched it.

It should be a stone, but I don't know what kind of stone.

"Where did this thing come from? Tribute again? ”

Empress Cao said: "The objects of the previous dynasty have been put in the library. Your father is not good at this, you use it just right. ”

Liu Yan pouted and asked, "Then I'll do this?" What kind of set is this? Romantic? All the bells and whistles? ”

Empress Cao couldn't be happy: "These fragrant things, of course, are the most suitable for a young girl like you, your father is so old, what kind of incense inkstone and ink, it is really not suitable." ”

"Since it's given to me, then I'll take it. Where did this thing come from? It's been fragrant for so many years? ”

Empress Cao nodded: "This should be a tribute sent to the palace in the previous dynasty, I am afraid that there is only such a piece in the world, you can take it if you like it, take it out and use it if you like it, don't give it to anyone easily." ”

"I know, I'm not going to give it away."

Well, if it's for Lu Yi, it's not a gift.

However, Lu Yi is also quite pragmatic, for him, things are practical, and there is no need to be so fancy.

Queen Cao Bacheng asked people to rummage through the inner library, and poured out a lot of rare things that are not usually common, and she couldn't wait to pack them all and stuff them into Liu Yan's dowry for her to carry.

Liu Yan returned to Anhe and the palace side of the don't do it, first washed his face, and always felt that those pervasive lints were stained on his face, which was very uncomfortable.

When she changed her clothes, Gui Yuan replied on the side. There are things in the palace and things outside the palace.

"Zhao Juma is out of Beijing?" Liu Yan was quite surprised: "He's not...... Is there a foreign difference in that kind of place in the Hanmo Museum? ”

Doutang smiled and said, "Look at what the princess said, how could it not be?" I heard that Zhao Juma went with the people from the Ministry of Industry and went to Jiangye. ”

Liu Yan thought for a while: "Jiang Ye seems to have been flooded last year, right?" ”

Liu Yan didn't care about the government, but he had heard a few words about the flood.

"Exactly, the slave maid heard that the river embankment in Jiang Ye was repaired once last autumn, but it was in a hurry at that time, but it was only a symptom but not a cure, and the Ministry of Industry sent someone to investigate, and most of them had to make up for it again to prevent water from recurring this year."

Liu Yan was still a little puzzled: "Then what is Zhao Yuma going to do?" He's good at painting, but I didn't hear that he also understands water conservancy. ”

"This, the slave maid doesn't know, but I heard that Jiang Ye has a good scenery there, there are mountains and rivers and many historical sites, and the horse loves to paint, maybe he went there to paint? Walking with the people from the Ministry of Works, most of them are to take care of them, right? ”

"But the stone is still small, so he just left, but don't worry?"

Gui Yuan tied Liu Yan's clothes and belt, and said with a smile: "The third princess and the stone girl are very safe to stay in the capital, so many people are waiting." Even if Zhao Yuma stays in the princess's mansion, what can he do? ”

Although he said that, Liu Yan always felt a little weird.

Zhao Lei is a very family-loving person, probably because the people close to him are gone early, he has hardly left Liu Fang half a step since he became a family.

This is different from Meng and Lu.

Meng Juma is the son of the Guogong Mansion, although his health is not good, it does not mean that he can leave it alone. From time to time, he was still on the side of the Guogong Mansion, handling the affairs of the house, and doing his filial piety in front of his parents, and sometimes he rested in the Guogong Mansion.

Where's the horse...... Eh, the affairs of the Lu family are more chaotic, and the relationship between Lu and the second sister is not as good as when they first got married.

Zhao Lei, it's different from the previous two. There is no one in his family, and he has long been defeated, and after getting married, he has a good relationship with the third princess, and he always stays in one place.

Now he is out of Beijing suddenly, and Jiang Ye is not close.

Longan didn't think as much as Liu Yan thought.

She thinks that it is quite reasonable for Zhao to go out.

After all, he is a big man, and it is always difficult for people to say that he will revolve around his wife's nepotism. Zhao is not easy to do the horse, many people think that Princess Shang is a step to the sky, not only talking behind his back, sometimes even daring to mock him half-truths and half-truths in person. said that he eats soft rice, does not seek advancement, and relies on women to get rich and enjoy happiness.

Zhao Yuma went out with the Ministry of Industry, and when he turned back to the matter of the embankment on the other side of Jiangye, maybe he could follow the light, and share some credit, and after he came back, the emperor praised him again, and his face and reputation were gone, but it was not much stronger than now. This man has to make a contribution to straighten his waist, even if it's just for show.

"That'...... Prepare for a trip out of the palace tomorrow. ”

"The princess is going to visit the third princess?"

"I'll go see the big sister first." Liu Yan said: "I heard that her pregnancy this time is very tormenting, not as smooth as last time, the doctor said that the eldest sister has a bad appetite, and she can't sleep well at night, and the queen mother is also a little worried." ”
