116 The prince visited
Liuli was silent for a long time, and she didn't have any good ideas, she never thought about whether she could enter the palace or not, one was that she was too young to be able to enter the palace, and the other was that if there was really this opportunity, would the Yu family rest assured that she would enter the palace? But now that the old lady is in charge of her, it may not be possible. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" The old lady is not a simple character, she may not have really planned to send her to the palace before, but now that she gets along like this, it is not necessarily.
But what if the old lady was really planning to do so? In fact, at the moment, she has only one thing clear about her future plan, she has never planned to take the path of an ordinary concubine, at least in the future, she will be a lady of the main family who is marrying in the media, if she enters the palace - of course, this is indeed an honorable thing, but as Yuegui said, the saint is already an old man, and she will not be able to be beautiful for a few years, even if she gives birth to a prince, it will not be his turn to become the prince, and she has not given her youth in vain?
Of course, if the scope is expanded, combined with the current situation, even if the saint does not choose her to enter the palace to serve as a servant, according to the rules, even if she is selected, she will be assigned to the children of the royal family and nobles as wives and concubines. If she loses the election, the plan to use her to stabilize He Mansion will come to naught, and the people of He Mansion will treat her like a waste when they come, wouldn't the ending be even worse than now?
From this point of view, she has to be careful to avoid the old lady really having the heart to send her to the draft. But fortunately, there is no hurry, she is only ten years old, and she has at least three years to prepare. Who can say for sure what it will be like then?
In this way, the old lady did not put this in her mouth, so she also put it away, and still served the decoction and diet with all her heart every day, and she was also very attentive in the Wutong Courtyard.
With Guo Yao and the old lady's names on the side, Yu and the others suddenly had a lot less difficulty, and they didn't need to dig out their minds to deal with it, and the days flew by in a back and forth.
After a few heavy snowfalls, February will be ushered in, and the palace draft is imminent, and the house is preparing for Yuhua's election.
The old lady and He Lili both showed twelve points of concern, and the Yu family stayed up for several nights for this. According to Guo Yao's words, Yuhua himself has excellent conditions, and his family background is the backdrop, and the eldest princess is favored, so there will definitely be a good ending in this draft. When Yu heard this, his worried heart settled down a little.
And Yuhua himself is also in the palace because of his purpose, so he is also very nervous, and he has been studying and practicing palace rules and rituals diligently in the past few days, and he has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. Huanhua saw that she had lost a lot of weight, so she said to Liuli behind her back: "Actually, the purpose of the third sister is not to be a mother, she wants to be the crown princess." β
Liuli looked up, "How do you know?" β
Huanhua looked at it four times before whispering: "The saint is old, and she is not stupid, how can she think of being his concubine?" Once when we were chatting, she said inadvertently, saying that if you want to do it, you will be the queen above 10,000 people, do you think the queen is still alive now, where can you get her? Even if the queen is gone, the queen's children will not allow it! But now that the crown princess is not in good health and the heirs are not prosperous, if she becomes the prince's side concubine, won't she be able to become a queen in the future? β
Liuli pondered for a long time after hearing this.
The decree from the palace said that all the show girls entered the Chuxiu Palace from the West Palace Gate on February 28, and the fifth day of the first month in the Beijing Clothing Workshop sent the twenty-four sets of clothes that Yu ordered for Yuhua, and then all kinds of jewelry were also prepared one after another.
Liang was unwilling because of Shuhua's matter, but after so many days, he also figured it out, so he didn't refuse. The Qi family has always been indifferent, and he has a grudge against the Yu family, so he only sits on the side and fills the number. Nie Shi used twelve points of effort to help, and there were ** days in the long room for ten days.
Guo Yao also gave Yuhua solo training in the long room these days, and the school had a holiday, and Liuli Huanhua had nothing to do, so she often gathered under the banana tree in Yishouyuan to read and recite poems, and sometimes called Suhua, but she always had to have a few plates of snacks when she came. And Yanhua has always been very bored, and when she went to the long room to see Yuhua and them, she felt bored, and she would come to Liuli uninvited to sour a few words, but she would always be bored when she came back.
On this day, Liuli and Huanhua dug up a few peonies from the back garden, intending to plant them in Yishou Garden, so they cultivated soil in the clay pot, and suddenly Suhua rushed in and shouted: "Guess who is coming, who is coming?!" β
Liuli glanced at Huanhua and asked, "Who is here?" β
Su Hua put up a finger in front of his nose: "It's the little prince of the Marquis of Huaining's mansion who is here!" β
"Huaining Marquis Mansion?!" Huanhua stood up, "You mean Young Master Sun of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here?" β
Su Hua said: "Who else would it be if it wasn't him?" This time, I have already gone to Wutong Courtyard to see Mr. Guo! β
Liuli also stood up, stunned for a moment, and said, "Why did he come to our house?" β
"It must be for the third sister! Why else is the eldest princess so good to her? It must be in order to let the Holy Lord assign her to Xiao Shizi at that time! When you went to Jinquan Temple to meet her, it must have been because she wanted to find her granddaughter-in-law herself! Su Hua raised his chin and said confidently.
Liuli didn't know that there was such a statement, and she didn't know that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had reached the age of talking about marriage, thinking of the many messages thrown from the Huaining Marquis Mansion these days, Su Hua's statement sounded a little more likely. But if that's the case, is this little son so bold that he openly ran to the house to see his fiancΓ©e?
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Huanhua: "It seems that your news is not accurate, and what people want is not the queen's position." "Although the Huaining Marquis Mansion is not as good as the East Palace, it is also ranked among the princes, and the wealth cannot be spoken, and ordinary women can not be seen.
Huanhua frowned and said, "Impossible, she is not the fourth sister." β
Ruri shrugged her shoulders, noncommittal. Yuhua is indeed not Shuhua, and no one knows her heart better than her, but Xiao Shizi will not come to He Mansion for no reason, right?
After planting peonies with Huanhua, seeing that the old lady was about to wake up, Liuli washed her hands and went to Anxi Hall.
Biyun Qingshang was already waiting for the old lady to get up, and after a winter, her body was a little weaker, but if she didn't look carefully, she still couldn't see it on her face. Liuli put on gold velvet embroidery to wipe her forehead, helped her to sit down in the flower hall, and made ginseng tea for her. The old lady took a sip, turned her head to look out the window, and said, "This year's situation is not as good as last year, and the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed at this time." β
Liuli also looked at it and said, "It's not too late, I just passed under the tree, and many buds have been hit." β
The old lady drank the ginseng tea, handed the cup to Biyun, and said, "How have you prepared for Yu'er's entry into the palace?" β
Liuli sat down and thumped her legs, "I heard that it's all ready, Mr. Guo has been in the long room for the past few days, and the three girls will definitely be able to come out on top." After speaking, she suddenly remembered the rumors that Yuegui told her, and she couldn't help but be silent for a while. The old lady glanced at it, and said, "What are you pondering?" β
"No ......"
"Old lady, Mr. Guo and the little prince of the Huaining Marquis Mansion ask to see."
Liuli was about to cover up, and the green clothes outside the door stepped in to report.
The old lady immediately straightened up and looked at Liuli: "Why is the little prince of the Huaining Marquis Mansion here?" β
Liuli stood up and shook her head: "I don't know either." She only heard that Xiao Shizi came to Hefu for Yuhua, but she didn't know what he was doing when he came to see the old lady.
The old lady hurriedly waved her hand at Qingshang: "Quick, please come in!" β
Liuli straightened her clothes for her, and then hid behind the curtain.
Qingshang went out for a while, and saw Guo Yao's figure coming from behind the screen, and then a young man in brocade wearing a jade crown, and when he turned the screen, Guo Yao paused for a while, stretched out his hand to let the young man go forward, and he was half a step behind and walked towards the old lady in the flower hall. The old lady stood up and took two steps to meet her: "This must be the little prince of the Hou Mansion?" β
Guo Yao smiled and nodded, "Exactly." Rui'er came to see the old lady. β
The young man walked up to the old lady and stood still and gave a deep salute: "Junior Du Rui meets the old lady." β
The old lady hurriedly helped herself up: "Xiao Shizi doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." Reach out and sit down on the left.
Liuli looked at this Du Rui from the crack in the curtain, and saw that he was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with handsome eyebrows and a sturdy body, although he was not very tall, but he was straight. Looking at the eyebrows and eyes carefully, there are three points of humility in the very noble, compared with the children in the house, there is more than rich, and there is a degree of humility, which is very rare.
The only drawback is that there is a shallow scar on the corner of the forehead on this handsome face...... Seeing this scar, something suddenly flashed in Liuli's heart, it seemed that she had seen such a big wound at the same place on someone's forehead at any time, but the wound was still a blood hole at that time......
Ah, no!
Ruri suddenly stood up straight, and she remembered! In Jinquan Temple during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, she once smashed a person with a copper lampstand, leaving a wound hole in the corner of that person's forehead, and that person's face seemed to be exactly the same as the one named Du Rui in front of her!
Before going to Jinquan Temple,ββ, Guo Yao said that the eldest princess took Mrs. Shizi and the little prince to the temple to pray for blessings, and the person in front of her claimed to be the little prince of the Huaining Hou Mansion, could it be that the person she smashed that night was the eldest grandson of the Huaining Marquis and the eldest princess? ! She actually injured the little prince of the Huaining Marquis Mansion?!
What can I do?
She held her breath and hid outside the curtain, a little panicked for a moment. At this time, I heard the old lady ask: "Dare to ask Xiao Shizi if he is passing by this time?" β
Du Rui casually glanced at the curtain where Liuli was hiding, and replied: "Back to the old lady's words, the younger generation has stayed with Aunt Guo for some time when she was young, and she has long regarded her as a close relative, because I heard that my aunt is now working in your mansion, so I came to visit my aunt." When I went out, my grandmother explained that I had to visit the old lady by the way, so I asked my aunt to introduce me. βrs
