Chapter 52: Sure enough
What Shao Zhiqiu didn't know was that several of today's noble girls were originally running for Princess Nishang, but as soon as the princess entered the door, she took her away, and inexplicably pulled another wave of hatred.
Shao Zhiqiu has calculated that she wants to use Princess Nishang as a shield, and she has already arranged the matter of saving people, and it will be up to Zhiyi and Lufu when the time comes.
Shao Zhiqiu instructed Lu Fu that if Shao Zexuan was tricked, he would immediately go to Aunt Qinghuai, and when something really happened, Qinghuai would never ignore it, and Shao Zhiqiu didn't plan to greet her in advance.
Seeing that the hour was still early, according to the situation in the previous life, they did it when the banquet was about to end.
"I just sent the eunuch who made the decree," said Princess Nishang proudly. "Originally, my father wanted to come and take a sneak peek by himself and give Shao Laoguo a surprise, so I begged him to let me come!"
"Huh? Then, if His Majesty the Emperor came to see my grandfather for his birthday, my grandfather would not be very happy! Shao Zhiqiu continued to pretend to be stupid.
"Uh... Princess Nishang is a little unbelievable, think about it, if the father comes, what a glory the princess of the country, borrowed by himself to make it yellow...
Shao Zhiqiu hurriedly changed the conversation.
"Shhhh None of us will say anything, lest my grandfather hear it and his heart will be filled with joy! ”
"Uh-huh, no one is allowed to say it!"
Shao Zhiqiu has always instructed Zhiyi to carry the sleeve arrow with him, and when he saw the neon princess Shao Zhiqiu, he asked Zhiyi to bring the sleeve arrow.
"Look, princess, this thing is going to be used like this, and it's very good for self-defense!"
"Well, I know, after you left, I specially asked the waitress who taught me kung fu!" Princess Nishang said happily when she saw the Sleeve Arrow.
Shao Zhiqiu coaxed Princess Nishang to be happy, while paying attention to the movements around her, and when Princess Nishang had seen enough of the Pocket Arrow, Shao Zhiqiu took her to walk around the back garden of the Guogong Mansion.
Half of the female dependents who came to congratulate the birthday listened to the play in front of the stage, and half enjoyed the flowers in the back garden, after Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he ordered people to build four national mansions, and the Zhenguo Mansion was one of them.
Zhenguo Mansion is a multi-entry quadrangle, divided into east, middle and west three roads, glazed green tiles, pavilions and pavilions, very majestic and magnificent. The garden is even more elegantly crafted, wandering in it is like strolling in the landscape, and there are also various ladies playing and watching not far away.
Shao Zhiqiu led Princess Nishang and told her where the stone was given by Emperor Taizu, where was the plaque given by Emperor Taizong, and what the rockery was made of.
"When I first came, I saw your second sister entertaining guests outside, why didn't you go?" Princess Ni Dress asked.
"What you asked, I'm a concubine, how boring it is to be stuffed into a pile of concubines, it's enough for them to be accompanied by my second sister."
"You really have such a good relationship with your second sister?" Princess Nishang asked incredulously.
"Where is the relationship between the two of us! She's always in charge, and I like to teach me! It's fierce! Shao Zhiqiu said speechlessly.
"That's good! The sisters and sisters in my family don't seem to care about anything except competing for favor on weekdays. Princess Nishang said with a little envy.
Shao Zhiqiu didn't expect Princess Nishang to tell her this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Speaking of which, this princess Nishang was a different person in her previous life, and the princes and princesses of Emperor Jingwen fought one by one like black-eyed chickens, but Princess Nishang and her brother and the five princes of her mother's compatriots stayed out of the matter, ignoring the court, but ended up relaxed.
Fortunately, Princess Nishang herself was not immersed in this topic, and said.
"But I have a good brother! It hurts me so much! Princess Nishang said proudly.
I've heard of that.
As the two were talking, they saw a little girl from Chunqiu Courtyard coming to find knowledge and hurriedly said a few words.
Zhiyi hurriedly leaned into Shao Zhiqiu's ear and said, "Caiyi tried to sneak out of the yard several times, but was stopped back. ”
"Tell someone to go and see where the big brother is. If Caiyi wants to leave again, let her out, don't stop her, just look at her from afar! Shao Zhiqiu said, and then said a few words to Zhiyi.
"It's not too early to see the hour, I'm afraid there will be a banquet at my mother's place!" Shao Zhiqiu said to Princess Nishang.
"If the princess waits for the banquet to end, I'm afraid she won't be able to catch up with the palace ban, right?" Shao Zhiqiu asked.
"I specially begged my father today, and my imperial brother will come to pick me up after the banquet!" Princess Nishang said unconcernedly.
This is good, Shao Zhiqiu was slightly relieved.
"Then let's go to Duole Hall, and the play over there should be finished."
Shao Zhiqiu wanted to see what Madame Xiao was doing at the moment. Although she was stared at early, she still couldn't rest assured if she didn't see it with her own eyes.
A lot of wisteria was planted outside the Duole Hall, and at this time it was the time when the flowers were blooming, and Mrs. Xiao and Mu Shi and others were sitting under the stage chatting.
Seeing that Princess Nishang arrived, all the ladies hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Today is the birthday banquet of Zhenguo Gong, you don't have to be formal, you should focus on the birthday banquet." Princess Nishang said without a salute.
Naturally, everyone should be.
"Zhiqiu has to take good care of Princess Nishang, don't be lazy!" Mrs. Xiao smiled and ordered Shao Zhiqiu.
It's just that there is a lot of coldness in this smile.
There are many things in the world, if everyone can't make friends with Princess Nishang, then they can get along safely, but if only one person can make friends with the princess, then this person will become the target of everyone.
Fortunately, the deterrence of the Guogong Mansion is there, and everyone only dares to discuss it in their hearts.
The surface work still needs to be done enough, Shao Zhiqiu saluted, and invited Princess Nishang to sit next to Mrs. Xiao. After all, Mrs. Xiao is an elder, and she has a fate, so she barely sits on the right side of Princess Nishang.
Everyone chatted for a while, and saw the big girl next to Mrs. Xiao whispering a few words to Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao nodded slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened a lot.
Shao Zhiqiu's heart tightened, and then he relaxed again, he had ordered everything he should have ordered, and he couldn't mess up at this time.
"After listening to the play for so long, I think the ladies are also tired, why don't I take the ladies around."
"That feeling is good, I have heard that the delicacy of the Zhenguo Mansion is unique, especially the Invitation Moon Tower, I heard that standing upstairs can see the entire garden of the Guogong Mansion! It's shocking. My aunt is going to take us to have a good look today. ”
Mrs. Xiao's niece, Xiao Ningfu said with a smile.
"I wonder what Her Royal Highness the princess thinks?"
"That's what I want to see!" Princess Ni Shang said.
Invite the moon tower and the lake pavilion echo each other, if it is the palm lamp when the view is very beautiful, the invitation moon tower and the outer garden are only separated by a bridge.
"The first time the county lord of Huairou came to the Guogong Mansion, he must have never seen it, but he has to take a good look!"
Prince Lian was talking to the Mu clan with the county lord of Huairou, and nodded with a smile after listening to Mrs. Xiao's words, she had been to Yueyue Tower, and it was indeed extremely beautiful.
Mu Shi frowned slightly after hearing this, but didn't say anything.
