Chapter 11 In the Palace of Nyingham
After a while, the eight-year-old Princess Tianwei pulled the twelve-year-old imperial sister and Princess Xuan to the gate of Ningxian Palace. After the palace maid at the gate of the hall informed Xu Jieyu, she slowly led them into the main hall.
Xu Jieyu sat in the hall, Princess Wen Ying and Gongzixian, who were still sitting on both sides, were talking and laughing, and when she saw He Xuan and Tianwei holding hands and entering the hall, she smiled gently and said, "You see, the fifth princess is a frequent visitor, and now the second princess is also here." Sit down! ”
Then Xu Jieyu looked at the palace maid beside her with a smile and said, "Biluo, don't go to show the two princesses tea." ”
After Princess He Xuan and Princess Tianwei sat down one after another, He Xuan looked at everyone in the hall.
Xu Jieyu is twenty-five years old, although she does not have the innate luxury of everyone's ladies, nor the charming and charming of Le Ji, but there is a unique quiet and weak beauty of a small jasper.
This kind of beauty is difficult to describe in words, Xu Jieyu has a pair of bright eyes under her thin eyebrows, but there is no trace of aggression or aggression in her eyes, when she looks at He Xuan with a pair of crooked eyes when she laughs, He Xuan just has a feeling like a spring breeze from the heart.
Princess Wen Ying on the side not only inherited her mother Xu Jieyu's white skin and lovely appearance, but also had Xu Jieyu's weak willow temperament.
Princess Wen Ying is only three months younger than Princess Tianwei, wearing light blue clothes with emerald green jade ornaments, giving people a fresh breath. Princess Wen Ying's expression looks much more mature and stable than Tianwei.
Princess Tianwei has always been an innocent and cute child in the eyes of everyone. Of course, only He Xuan knew that these were just masks for Tianwei's disguise.
He Xuan deliberately avoided Mi Xian's slightly scrutinizing gaze, just nodded slightly towards Princess Wen Ying, and then looked at Xu Jieyu who was sitting in the center.
"On weekdays, Wei'er has been watching us coming, Ying'er and I are used to it, why is the second princess here today?" Xu Jieyu asked with a smile on her face, this question came out of her mouth, it seemed so ordinary.
He Xuan didn't think about how to answer this question just now, and his heart trembled.
However, before he could reply, Tianwei couldn't wait to speak: "Jieyu Niangniang, I pulled the second emperor sister over." The second imperial sister only knows how to read in the room on weekdays, and the whole person is a little stupid to read, I think that I am close to Ying'er's sister on weekdays, so I just pull the imperial sister over to breathe. ”
"I see!" Xu Jieyu's crisp laughter spread throughout the room, and He Xuan had to pretend to be embarrassed.
Xu Jieyu covered her face with a handkerchief and continued: "Wei'er, your second imperial sister is Xiuwai Huizhong. However, the second princess can come to my palace on weekdays to walk around more, and when there are more people, she also feels lively, so the princess does not have to be restrained. ”
said that there is no need to be restrained, but Xu Jieyu is a princess, and she has to hold on to this identity. On the contrary, Xu Jieyu called Tianwei only called Wei'er instead of the fifth princess, and Tianwei called Princess Wenying and only called Ying'er, it seems that the relationship between them is indeed very close.
"The second princess, the fifth princess, Mi Xian didn't know that the two princesses were coming today, it's rude." Qi Xian said respectfully with a lady's and gentleman's expression.
"Gongzixian doesn't have to be polite, let's sit down and leave. By the way, Jieyu Niangniang, I love to eat the mung bean cake you made, is there anything left, can you give me a few pieces? Tianwei said to Xu Jieyu with a half-coquettish look.
"Fifth princess, there are only the last two pieces left, and the slave will get them for you." Biluo looked at Tianwei's greedy cat, couldn't help laughing, and said with a pleasant face.
After a while, Biluo brought the only two pieces of mung bean cake left, and before the plate could be put on the table, Tianwei immediately grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing, he said to He Xuan: "Second Emperor Sister also taste a piece, the mung bean cake in Jieyu Niangniang's palace is the best in this palace." ”
So He Xuan also took a piece of mung bean cake, took a small bite, and couldn't help but praise sincerely: "The mung bean cake in Niangniang's palace is really good, sweet but not greasy, it melts in your mouth, and there is still a trace of sweetness in your mouth at the end of eating, no wonder the five emperor sisters came to eat it." ”
When Xu Jieyu heard this, she smiled with satisfaction, and said modestly: "This mung bean cake is just a small skill of carving insects, and it is rare for the two princesses to see it." I have a lot of leisure time in this harem all day long, and I am illiterate, so I can't appreciate the beauty of Yan Ruyu in the book like the second princess, so I have to work these foods. ”
He Xuan was about to continue to praise, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Tianwei finished eating the mung bean cake in her mouth, and then Tianwei immediately said to Xu Jieyu coquettishly: "Jieyu Niangniang, Wei'er still wants to eat it, this mung bean cake is so delicious, Niangniang will make some more for Wei'er!" ”
The other four people on the seat couldn't help but laugh when they saw Tianwei's child playing tricks, looked at each other. Xu Jieyu's good-tempered harem is well known, not to mention that Empress Zhao was once her master, and Princess Tianwei is her little master in a sense. The little master spoke, although she is now a noble concubine, but no matter how noble this identity is, it can't match a little finger of the lord of the harem.
"Mother, you can follow Wei'er. She has always loved to eat the mung bean cake you made, but now she has just eaten a piece, and the gluttonous worm has just been hooked, how can she give up? Princess Wen Ying's big eyes glanced at Princess Tianwei, and then at her mother Xu Jieyu, and said jokingly.
Xu Jieyu pretended to be helpless and shook her head, and said to Tianwei with tenderness and pampering in her eyes: "Okay, okay, in fact, I have already ordered the palace maid to prepare the materials, since this is the case, I will... ”
Before she could finish speaking, Princess Tianwei said, "Wei'er and Niangniang will go together, and by the way, I will learn what the trick of this delicious mung bean cake is." Ying'er, you can also come over to learn this craft, and you can be your future husband in the future! When Princess Wen Ying heard this, she paused for a moment, and then looked a little ashamed and shy. Princess Tianwei turned her head to He Xuan again and said, "Second Emperor Sister, it is inconvenient for Gongzixian to come to this back kitchen, you can accompany him to chat casually, and we will be back soon." With that, he pulled Xu Jieyu and Princess Wen Ying out of the smoke, and Princess Wen Ying turned around and nodded to He Xuan and Qi Xian as she walked.
He Xuan looked at the backs of the three of them in the distance, and said in his heart, this kid is a ghost, and he made such a scene, shouting to eat mung bean cake, it turned out to create an opportunity for her and Mi Xian to be alone! is so long-sleeved and good at dancing at a young age, but it's a pity that Tianwei's mind is not used in the right way, otherwise at least she is extremely smart and clever.
Mi Xian looked at the second princess in front of her with a slightly playful expression, didn't she want to see him, why did she come over on purpose? He smiled quietly, and though her lustful tricks were old-fashioned, she did interest him.
"Gongzixian, that's the case, the Fifth Emperor Sister asked me to ask you, why did you give her such a valuable jade bracelet for no reason?" While explaining, He Xuan lowered his head and took out the bracelet that he cherished in his previous life from his cuff, and then gently lifted the handkerchief wrapped in the jade bracelet and put it on the table.
"Oh, this. I also heard you joking with the five princesses that day, so I gave a gift to the five princesses. In fact, before I came to Da Zhou, my mother had already carefully selected some gold, silver and jade pendants for me, and I also gave a copy to the sixth princess. If the second princess likes it, I will order someone to send a good gift to your palace. Mi Xian smiled indifferently and said lightly.
"No need!" He Xuan said a little harshly, and then she realized that she shouldn't be so emotional, so she slowly added: "I'm just asking for the Fifth Emperor Sister, I have never loved these jewelry and jewelry, Gongzixian's gift should be kept for the other princesses." ”
He Xuan was anxious and angry at the moment, and he wanted to find a corner to cry. She only felt that she was an out-and-out nerd in her previous life, revealing ignorance from head to toe, no wonder she would be calculated by others. Now it seems that Mi Xian just asked the people below to prepare some gifts carefully before coming to Da Zhou, and when he came to Da Zhou, he found an opportunity to give them to the princesses he was interested in, and this multi-party betting method is the same as that of Empress Zhao.
Mi Xian's eyes were full of confusion as she looked at Hexuan, why did her answer make her so angry, and why did she refuse to accept his gift? This is such an enigmatic woman.
What Mi Xian said next, He Xuan didn't hear a word. The unforgettable love in the previous life was just wishful thinking on her part from beginning to end, and the other party was just unintentionally inserting willows. She was ashamed of her stupidity, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. She also wanted to go out of the door, but out of courtesy, she couldn't help but say hello to the owner of the Nyingham Palace before leaving.
He Xuan grabbed the bracelet and stuffed it back into his sleeve, and when he was hesitating what to do, unconsciously, there was a series of footsteps. It was Princess Wen Ying and the palace maid who followed her, and the palace maid put the refreshments on the table. Princess Wen Ying also seemed to notice that the atmosphere in the room was very embarrassing, so she smiled at the corner of her eyes and said happily: "Patronizing to accompany Wei'er to make mung bean cakes, we are not well entertained." It's better for the two of you to eat some refreshments first, and the mung bean cake will be ready soon. ”
"The royal sister doesn't have to be polite, I have something to do and leave first, and trouble my sister to tell Jieyu Niangniang and the fifth imperial sister for me." After that, He Xuan hurriedly got up and saluted, and left with a solemn expression.
Only Princess Wen Ying and Mi Xian were left in the room. Princess Wen Ying was puzzled, could it be that something unpleasant happened to the two of them for a while? She looked at Gongzixian with a slightly inquiring gaze, but the latter only shrugged his shoulders slightly, regained his elegant and gentle expression, and ate the refreshments on the table.
