Chapter 2: The Seven Princesses

Xiao Dong saw Qin Nu again, she was wearing a big red gauze robe, standing slim on a lotus-shaped platform.

She has already been one of the top singers in the church, and today she is singing a cheerful and auspicious song, Qin Nu's singing voice is clear and sweet, and it sounds like a gurgling spring in the stuffy hall, which makes people feel that the summer heat has disappeared.

To be honest, Xiao Dong has seen her many times, but none of them can carefully see what she looks like.

In fact, her looks don't matter, the most beautiful thing about her is her voice.

Zhao Zhi held her cheeks and listened to it with a look of intoxication, until Qin Nu finished singing and retreated, she was still fascinated.

"That's nice."

Dong Yi turned his head and was taken aback, the bunch of grapes was already only a stalk, and the grapes on it had been eaten. But what about grape skins and grape seeds? Not on the table, not on the ground.

Could it be that the seventh princess didn't spit out the skin or the seeds, and ate them all together?

This kid can't have never eaten grapes before, right?

Ah, no, wait.

Xiao Dong remembered that the treatment of eating grapes in the past was washed by Hu or the maid, and the skin was peeled with her hands, and the seeds were picked up with a silver skewer before she was eaten. Is it because no one skinned the Seventh Princess, so this girl even ate the skin?

Maybe so.

The singing and dancing on the field didn't attract her at all, and the Seventh Princess's attention was all on the fruit dishes on the table.

But she only watched, and didn't do it herself.

Xiao Dong became more and more determined in his thoughts, this child is afraid that he is hungry, but he must be the food served by the nurse palace to open his mouth, so he will not touch the dishes, cups and chopsticks.

In other words, even if the mother of the seventh princess is not strong enough or is sick and can't come, didn't her nurse come with her?

Xiao Dong looked back, there were many palace people standing on the side, and there were also female officials, but I didn't see anyone like the nursing mother of the seventh princess.

But Xiao Dong looked at it like this, but a few people came over.

It's Cai Gu.

Now Cai Gu is very decent, and no one in the harem wants to offend her. Caigu is also generous and generous, Xiaodong looked at her like this, didn't look at others, and looked at her.

"County Lord, but what is missing? Or do you want to eat something? ”

The sixth princess sat on the other side of the table, and was already looking here.

Xiao Dong asked in a low voice: "The seventh princess came to us, and her nurse didn't know where she went, didn't she follow and serve?" ”

Cai Gu responded: "I'll let people pass it on." While beckoning, he summoned a palace man who looked old and stable to serve the seventh princess first.

Zhao Zhi whispered to Xiao Dong and bit her ear: "I said, you were enrolled in school when you were younger than her, and no one mentioned going to school when she was so old?" ”

The mother is not favored, and all good things are not in the turn.

Eat the deduction point, wear the deduction point, use the deduction point...... Layer by layer, I'm afraid there won't be much left.

However, Xiao Dong still felt that the Seventh Princess was too quiet, even if a child of this age was afraid of life, he would not neither move nor make a sound for a long time, right?

After a while, a palace man walked around from behind the screen, first saluted Xiao Dong and Zhao Zhi, and then said, "The slave maid is the palace maid of Caiwei Palace." ”

The seventh princess also saw her, and she carefully pulled the seventh princess away.

Zhao Zhi is generous on the one hand, but also stingy on the other.

"She let her eat all the grapes, and she didn't say a word of thanks."

"She's a child."

Zhao Zhi looked at the front and back, and leaned over: "I heard people say ......" The second half of the sentence was so low that I almost couldn't hear it: "The Seventh Princess is a little stupid......"

Xiao Dong was surprised: "Who said that?" ”

"Someone always says it secretly."

Xiao Dong also felt that he was a bit stupid to ask.

Zhao Zhi has always been well-informed, her sisters and brothers have a lot of concubines, what can we do if everyone is idle every day and has nothing to do? It must be gossip, and parents are short of right and wrong to pass the time.

Xiao Dong also felt a bit like this, the seventh princess didn't say a word from beginning to end, and ......

And her eyes are a little dull.

Even if children like to eat, when they see gorgeous singing and dancing, they will raise their eyes to divert their attention, right?

The seventh princess seems to have kept her head down.

That's right, it's still young enough to get past it. What will she do when she grows up?

"I'm going to change clothes, are you going?"

"Okay, let's go together."

Between their hands, Zhao Zhi whispered, "Have you seen the birthday gift offered by the fifth princess?" ”

Xiao Dong only glanced at it from a distance, as if it was a jade statue of Guanyin.

"I looked at it, obediently, what a delicate Guanyin. It's white jade, but there's a pinch of powder in the white of the fingers on the cheeks. Moreover, the willow branches inserted in the jade bottle are coincidentally green and shiny.

"The net bottle willow branch is also a whole piece?"

"yes."

That's a rarity.

Zhao Zhi pouted: "Concubine Ming is really big-handed. ”

Xiao Dong smiled: "Of course, my mother has good things, who will she give if you don't give it to her daughter?" ”

Zhao Zhi had a sentence in her mouth and didn't say it.

Concubine Ming is beautiful and can be a person, and the fifth princess is also beautiful and intelligent, but unfortunately she doesn't have a son. The year before last, she was pregnant with one, but she inexplicably fell again, and at that time, more than a dozen palace attendants were implicated and lost their lives.

The hall was hot, and the two of them simply sat and rested in the pavilion behind the hibiscus flowers, just a cool breeze blew, and Zhao Zhi stretched her waist: "The hall is too stuffy, so many people, dressed so thickly and sitting upright, so guilty." ”

Xiao Dong smiled: "But some people can't catch up if they want to suffer this crime." ”

"That's right."

Those who don't have enough identity can't get in.

"I heard that the concubine prepared the bottle of jade Guanyin for the fifth princess, and it took this number." Zhao Zhi stretched out five fingers and compared.

"Who did you listen to?"

"My second brother said that. I heard that the concubine originally prepared a bonsai that seemed to be a longevity than Nanshan, but later I don't know why, I changed it to this Guanyin statue. This one was prepared temporarily, and I bought it from the largest treasure in the capital. ”

She's heard a lot.

Xiao Dongqian's family population was also simple, in this life, there were only three members of the family, and I really couldn't understand the scene of women with a yard at home chattering and gossiping together......

Well, a little envious.

There are so many people in the family......

Xiao Dong was slightly distracted, Zhao Zhi suddenly pulled her, Xiao Dong didn't understand what was going on, so she pulled her and squatted down together.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhi raised her finger and said "shhhhhh

Xiao Dong turned her head to look, but she only saw two chamberlains quickly dragging one person through the corner, and she didn't know where she went.

There are a lot of such things in the palace, and many people disappear inexplicably, and everyone else never mentions it, as if this person never existed.

Xiao Dong suddenly remembered Yao Jinfeng.

"Probably the palace people who made a mistake......

Having said that, the two of them felt that it was really not appropriate to stay outside, and it was better to go back to the temple.

Someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, Xiao Dong was startled, and turned his head to see Zhao Lu's smiling face: "You two are not staying in the palace, you are here to hide and seek?" ”

Zhao Zhi also patted her chest and spat out a big breath: "You want to scare people to death, why do you walk without sound?" ”

Zhao Lu smiled and apologized: "It's all mine." Seeing that you haven't been back for so long, I'm a little worried. Come on in, it's time for the finale. ”

Xiao Dong didn't pay attention to the finale, but the delicious one was served, a soft steamed cheese, chilled, with a faint trace of white gas escaping from it, and all kinds of dried fruits were sprinkled on the surface. Xiao Dong scooped the spoon and was about to send it to his mouth, but the hem of his shirt was tight. She turned her head to look, and the Seventh Princess slipped back at some point, staring at the spoonful of cheese she was about to bring to her mouth.

Where did this kid come from?

Xiao Dong hesitated, and Zhao Zhi had already seen her.

"Seven princesses?"

Being watched by her, Xiao Dong can't just eat himself as if nothing happened.

"What about the palace people who followed you?"

The seventh princess shook her head, probably saying that she didn't know, but her eyes looked straight at Xiao Dong without blinking.
