Princess Heshun is the eldest princess of Emperor Chenghua, who married the young Chengguo Gong eighteen years ago, and has a son Wei Ling and Wei Li, the lord of Qinglong County.

She is the eldest daughter of the Son of Heaven, her status is noble, and her princess's mansion is the most magnificent of all the princesses.

Princess Heshun likes exotic flowers and plants, and is hospitable by nature, she has to hold two flower-viewing banquets every year, the peony banquet in March and the osmanthus banquet in September, and invite the noblewomen and young ladies of the famous families in Beijing to go to the banquet.

It's only July, what's the feast?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Bai Jing quietly withdrew her hand from Qin Rou's palm and responded: "Mother, my daughter has been in poor health since she was a child, and she is stupid by nature, so she doesn't know how to deal with the banquet outside. Princess Heshun gave a banquet, such a solemn occasion, my daughter is afraid that she will lose the face of Shangshu Mansion by making a mistake, so you should take other sisters with you. ”

"How's that going to work? Okay, you're the eldest lady in the house, you can't always stay in the boudoir and not go out to see the world, right? Don't worry, when that day comes, you will follow your mother and your second sister, and you will be fine. Qin Rou was extremely enthusiastic.

Bai Jing was embarrassed and said again: "My daughter is not in good health, and I am afraid that she will be unable to cope with her poor spirits, so wouldn't it sweep away Princess Heshun's interest?" ”

Bai Jinyao saw her posing and said impatiently: "Eldest sister, don't you toast or eat and drink." The eldest princess gave a banquet and asked you to go by name, do you dare to disobey? ”

Bai Jinghao pretended to be frightened and asked excitedly, "Second sister, do you mean that Princess Heshun invited me to the banquet by name?" ”

Bai Jinyao said coldly: "Naturally, otherwise would you be willing to take you there?" ”

"A-Yao?"

Qin Rou reminded her daughter with her eyes, and Bai Jinyao didn't say much.

Qin Rou cared for Bai Jing again: "Mother knows that you are weak, don't worry, Imperial Doctor Lu will stay in the house from now on to regulate your body, you will take care of your body in the past three days, and if you need anything to tell your mother, your mother will explain to them." ”

Bai Jing was so blessed, and responded with kindness: "Thank you, mother." ”

"By the way, the crown princess has rewarded your second sister with a lot of palace satin jewelry, you can pick some of your favorite ones and take them away."

Qin Rou's words fell, beckoned the maids holding silk and jewelry palace flowers to come forward, and personally selected the clothes for Bai Jinghao, nodded and said: "This brocade with colorful butterflies is good, it is both gorgeous and light, and it is most suitable for summer skirts." Bai Shao, you will send it to the sewing room immediately, and let them work day and night to make new clothes for the eldest lady, and the eldest lady will wear them on the day of the flower feast, understand? ”

Bai Shao immediately picked up the brocade silk and took the order.

Bai Jing looked at Qin Rou with a smile.

Qin Rou personally selected the jewelry for her, all of which were precious and exquisite, and tried them on her head in turn.

Bai Jinghao can see that the mother and daughter have ulterior motives even if they are fools, but thinking that they are scarce in their room, they look at the rows of gorgeous jewelry, and they are not ambiguous in their selection.

She held the gold hairpin hanging agate in her left hand and was reluctant to let go, and her right hand touched the palace ornaments of the other set of magnolia flowers, and she was distressed and said: "These two sets are very good-looking, which one should I choose?" Alas, it's really hard to choose, otherwise my mother and second sister will give me an idea, right? ”

Bai Jinyao looked at her greedy appearance and looked away contemptuously.

She endured.

Qin Rou was much calmer, and replied with a smile: "What's so difficult to choose?" Since Ah Hao likes it, just take back Pinmeixuan. ”

Bai Jing was embarrassed and said coquettishly: "Mother, how can this be embarrassing? But since it was given by the elders, Jing Hao didn't dare to resign, so he thanked his mother. After speaking, he beckoned Er Kite to come forward and hold it.

Bai Jinyao looked away painfully, she was really welcome. These are all jewelry in the palace, and I don't even keep a set for myself!

Er Kite was holding these two sets of valuable palace ornaments, and he was reluctant to take his eyes away, and at the same time he was curious in his heart. The eldest lady and the second lady are so attentive to the eldest lady, are they ready to take the eldest lady out and sell it?

Qin Rou turned around and took out two boxes of plasters from the table and handed them to Bai Jinghao, and instructed: "Look at you, this child, you always looked sick in the past and didn't know how to dress up well, so young girls have to pay more attention to their appearance." Come, this is the crown princess's jade powder and skin cream, all of which are secret beauty balms made in the palace, you take it back and use it sooner or later, and within three days, you will be more beautiful than flowers, and your complexion will be bright. ”

"Really? It turns out that there are such good things in the world, and my daughter is really lonely and unheard. If it weren't for my mother and second sister, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen these in my life, let alone use them, thank you mother. Bai Jinghao said, and beckoned Er Kite to step forward.

The kite has only two hands, and it is difficult to take it again.

"It's okay, my mother will tell the girls to send you back later."

Bai Jing picked up the two bottles of grease by herself nervously, as if she was afraid that she would be taken back if it was too late, and said with a smile: "Don't bother your mother's maidservant, my daughter can take it." If you don't have anything else to say, my daughter wants to go back and try the jewelry and creams first. ”

Qin Rou nodded, "Then you go back, remember to rest well." ”

Bai Jing left satisfied.

As soon as she left, Bai Jinyao's face couldn't hold back, and she said angrily: "Mother, look at her virtue, she is really greedy for vanity, and she doesn't care about anything when she sees the good things in the palace!" ”

"Okay, if it weren't for His Royal Highness Taisun who had to ask her to enter the East Palace with you before agreeing to this marriage, why would my mother promote her? It's just a concubine's room, and she can't make any waves, this is still the result of the crown princess's hard work to persuade Her Royal Highness, so what's wrong with you making her proud for two days? When you enter the East Palace in the future and become the concubine of His Royal Highness Taisun, won't she be at your disposal? Qin Rou couldn't see her daughter's shallow vision, and she didn't know the long-term plan.

Bai Jinyao still felt aggrieved, "Why can she marry His Highness with me after she hurt me?" The daughter was not convinced. ”

"A-Yao, you can endure for the time being, and those who become big things are not informal. After the flower-viewing banquet, let His Royal Highness the grandson get what he wants, and let you be angry with her. ”

Qin Rou stroked her forehead and sat down with a tired expression. If it weren't for the damage to her daughter's reputation, she would not have agreed to this request.

But Bai Jinghao now is not the Bai Jinghao of the past, can those things really dazzle her mind? Mother, I'm afraid she has already noticed it, she just pretended to be deliberate, and took the opportunity to make a windfall for us! Bai Jinyao suddenly said worriedly.

Qin Rou's face was full of strategy, and she instructed Qin's mother next to her: "After dark, you go and call Er Kite." ”

Bai Jinyao hurriedly said: "Mother, that maid has already surrendered to Bai Jinghao, and helped her hurt me three times and twice, do you still plan to use her?" ”

"Er Kite must have been forced to help Bai Jing do things, and the death deed of her entire family is in my hands, unless she is not ready to take care of the lives of her father and brother. Ah Yao, who do you say Bai Jinghao is, isn't it obvious which is more important? Besides, it is because Er Kite has betrayed us twice that he will win Bai Jinghao's trust, once such a person makes a move, it will be foolproof, and on that day, His Highness must be allowed to get what he wants. ”

As soon as Qin Rou finished speaking, Bai Su ran in from outside in a panic, "Madam, it's not good." The head of the brocade and silk village came to the house and said that all the water in the shop was burned out! ”

Qin Rou was shocked, stood up and said, "How can this be? ”

This brocade and silk village is the most profitable shop in her hand, and she hurriedly asked again: "Where is the warehouse, but is it still there?" ”

Bai Su shook his head and replied: "The shopkeeper said, don't mention the treasury, even the steward who guarded the treasury was burned to death." ”

"What?" Qin Rou was shocked.

Bai Jinyao was puzzled and said, "Mother, isn't it just a silk shop?" Even if it is to make money, how much profit can it be, if it is gone, it will be gone. ”

"You know what? When I sent Erkite to serve Bai Jinghao in the small courtyard, I promised that I would properly arrange her family. Just because the business of the silk village is good and there is a lot of oil and water, she specially asked her father and brother to go there on an errand, otherwise do you think she can work for me for many years so desperately? ”

Qin Rou shook her head again and again, and said "It's broken."

Bai Jinyao said, "What is this?" If we don't tell Er Kite, it will be done, so that she thinks that her family is still working in the shop, and she can only listen to us at the cost of her family's lives. ”

Qin Rou looked at her daughter with satisfaction and said with relief: "A-Yao, you are finally sensible and can share your mother's worries." ”
