Chapter 4 The Thousand Autumn Banquet

Xu Xin and Xu Lan have long followed Princess Xu's side and started housekeeping, Xu Lan was lonely and grew up beside Princess Xu since she was a child. This man has been dead for so many years, and that's all it takes.

Princess Xu's biggest headache now is the marriage of her eldest daughter, since she got married, she went to the south, and she has no foundation in Beijing at all. When I chose to get married, my eyes were black, and I didn't know which family's son-in-law was good.

"Miss." It was the princess's nurse Liu who spoke, and she also called the old name.

"What?" Princess Xu's voice came from inside the tent.

"The eldest lady and the second lady came over early in the morning and are waiting outside!" Liu said softly.

There was a sound of rustling on the bed, and after a while a man was seen coming out of it. "The two of them came over so early, why don't they sleep a little longer."

"The slave maid also said, it can be seen that the two young ladies have filial piety, and they have come to serve you early in the morning." Liu took the comb handed over by the maid next to him and combed Princess Xu's hair one by one.

The floor heating is burned in the house, and the whole room is like a spring day, even if you wear single clothes, you are not afraid of the cold.

"Mother hasn't gotten up yet?" Xu Xin asked in the side hall.

Xu Lan ate tea, "Mother worked hard in the past, it doesn't hurt to sleep more, it's early for us to come." ”

"The plum blossoms in my yard are about to bloom, Su Lan told me that they should be able to bloom today, I can wait to go back and see the plum blossoms!" Xu Xin was a little anxious.

Xu Lan put down the cup in her hand, "This plum blossom can be seen every day, why don't you let that girl pick this plum blossom for her sister, and put it in the bottle It also looks good." ”

"You know, this plum blossom is only beautiful on the branches. Especially when the plum blossoms are about to bloom, there is a faint fragrance. Xu Xin said with a look of fascination.

Xu Lan knew that she was afraid that Sister A's dementia would have committed it again, otherwise she would not have shown this expression.

After a while, I heard a commotion from behind, and Princess Xu came in through the door next to her.

"As soon as I entered the door, I heard what you were talking about? I remember that the plum blossoms in Sister Xin'er's yard are about to bloom, and it's time too! Princess Xu sat down on the top and said.

"Yesterday, Su Lan said that she had seen the flower bones half-open, and she would be able to see the first batch of flowering plum blossoms today." Xu Xin's eyes were sparkling when she spoke.

Princess Xu looked at this innocent little daughter, thought about her marriage, and sighed in her heart.

At this time, Xu Xin said: "Mother, I heard my father say that the emperor's Qianqiu is in this New Year. ”

Princess Xu thought about it in her heart and said: "It's true, this is Your Majesty's birthday this year, I'm afraid it's going to be a big fanfare." ”

Speaking of the Qianqiu Banquet, Princess Xu suddenly had an idea in her heart. "I just returned to the house, and everything has not been regulated yet. Since this Qianqiu banquet is approaching, it is inevitable that the time will enter the palace to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. Anyway, you have to buy more clothes, so let the butler order you to go down and make you two more clothes. Otherwise, if you wear old clothes at that time, I am afraid that you will be laughed at. ”

"Who dares to laugh at our Xu Wangfu." Xu Xin immediately answered.

Princess Xu sighed and said earnestly: "After all, now it's not as complicated as when you were in the south, and you also have to have a snack." ”

Xu Xin heard this, but she didn't refute it. Her eyes were full of plum blossoms in her yard now, and she didn't pay much attention to what Princess Xu was saying.

Princess Xu was very tired when she saw such a daughter, and when she saw the concubine looking at her brightly, she could only focus on the concubine.

"Sister Lan, have you had breakfast?" Princess Xu asked with concern.

"I came here early this morning, and I haven't had time to have breakfast yet. However, I always knew that my mother's food here was sweet, so I simply came to my mother's place to eat. Xu Lan said with a smile and squinted her eyes.

When Xu Xin heard this, she immediately came back to her senses, "My sister just needs to be active when eating, and usually let you follow me to make a cup of tea, and run faster than a rabbit." ”

Xu Lan smiled embarrassedly, "Sister, you also know that I am careless about these plays, and if I spoil your tea at that time, I should be blamed." ”

"Let's have dinner together, then." Princess Xu spoke.

"Master, King Xu's family entered Beijing two days ago." It was Liuyu who spoke, the personal guard beside the fourth prince Ji Chen.

Ji Chen was dressed in a royal blue cotton robe, holding a book in his hand, and sat behind the bookcase. Hearing Liuyu's words, he paused for a moment, and then turned the pages in his hand again.

"King Xu enters Beijing, and it is only a matter of time before his family enters Beijing." Ji Chen's voice was low, as if he had been choked by the throat.

Liuyu looked at Ji Chen with some concern, "It's a subordinate who has a lot of trouble, but it's just the master's body?" ”

Ji Chen waved his hand, "It's out of the way." But there's no harm in keeping an eye on it, and see, maybe something interesting happens. ”

"What does the master mean?" Liuyu didn't dare to speculate.

"My father called Imperial Doctor Li a few days ago, is there any news?" Ji Chen's fingers knocked unconsciously on the board.

"Imperial Physician Li has always been neutral, and no one has a relationship, so ......," Liuyu said after a moment's hesitation.

Ji Chen muttered, "There is still a month left before my father's Qianqiu banquet." ”

Liuyu boldly glanced at Ji Chen, who was sitting on the top, and directly lowered his head and didn't dare to look again, seeing that Ji Chen didn't command, he hurriedly retreated.

Ji Chen coughed violently, and after the weather turned colder, his body became more and more useless. Before he could lose consciousness, he jerked the brass bell standing next to him to the ground.

Suddenly, a person appeared in the room, "Go and call Doctor Fang over, the master is not well." ”

After a period of chaos, a maid was followed by a middle-aged man with a medicine box on his back, and the two mustaches on his face shook and shook.

"Doctor Fang, hurry up and show the master." Liuyu said as he stepped aside.

Doctor Fang didn't care about being polite at this time, and sat in front of Ji Chen.

The young man on the bed, his face was as white as paper, which did not damage his beauty, and his plainness added a bit of morbid beauty.

All the movements in the Four Princes' Mansion naturally can't be hidden from some people. However, as long as there is some news in the capital, most of them know that these four princes have always been weak, so it is not surprising.

Back then, everyone kept it secretive and avoided mentioning it. Only the old magnates in Beijing know some slighter news. In the end, it is the royal secret, and if it is not good, it is indeed going to be killed.
