Two hundred and eighteen brothers
When no one else was around, the eldest aunt asked Xie Ning: "What happened in the palace in the past two days?" β
Outside the palace really got the news. X. Bayi VI.VIII. Chinese Net XII.XII. δΉ ε΅. 8 1 εZ
Shainin asked, "How do you know?" β
That's the admission.
The eldest aunt is very worried, since yesterday I heard the news and now I can't eat or sleep, this morning I woke up and looked bad, and I put on some more powder to cover up.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that there is something unclean in the wine, but it just so happens that I didn't drink the wine, so I asked others to drink it. Now I just want to find out, so as not to wronged people. β
She said it lightly, why doesn't the eldest aunt know how powerful? This unclean thing must be not trivial, Shainin said that the wine was a coincidence that she didn't drink it, which means that she drank it if it was a coincidence.
The eldest aunt held her hand and was speechless.
If it weren't for the mistake of making Xie Ning return to the Xie family, now this child will not be in such a danger of life all the time, no matter what kind of person he marries.
Where is such a good place to stay in the palace, others watch the concubines and ladies dress and eat and drink spicy, but they don't know that they are all worried about this day and night, and they have to prevent someone from doing anything when they eat and drink.
But now it's too late to say anything, Xie Ning has become a concubine, and a child has been born, and he will never get out of this palace city in this life.
"Your little uncle heard about it, and you know that he has many friends and is well-informed. I don't know where he got so many acquaintances in Beijing, but he got the news yesterday, but it's not very detailed. The eldest aunt pulled Xie Ning and said, I don't know where to start.
Remind her to be careful? Tell her how her family remembers her? These Shainin also understood in his heart.
The girl married someone else's family, and there is a mother's family who is unhappy and can always give support. But now that Xie Ning is the emperor's concubine, her mother's family has to count the days of entering the palace even if she wants to see her, and there is no way to talk about support.
Xie Ning felt uncomfortable seeing his eldest aunt like this, but it was difficult to see each other, they couldn't be so sad and speechless.
"You've sent too much." Xie Ning said: "I know what the situation in our family is, don't empty my family money to buy a festival just because I have become a mother." It's just the icing on the cake for me, I really don't lack anything here. But if my family doesn't have a good life because of this, I don't feel steady. β
"You know my temper, I can't do anything like a swollen face and a fat man." The eldest aunt knew that Xie Ning was going to divert the conversation, and she also knew that it was inconvenient to speak in the palace, so she changed the topic along with her: "Your little aunt is very wealthy, her mother's family not only runs a dart game, but her own family also has a goods store, and many things are added by her this year." There are many things that are not valuable, but they are relatively rare in the capital. β
"People are cheap when they leave their hometowns, things are expensive when they leave their hometowns, and they are valuable when they arrive in the capital." Xie Ning said: "Then I have to thank my little aunt well, I am grateful to her for bothering so much." β
This is also something that makes Mrs. Lin feel gratified. This concubine is young, and the eldest aunt has always been afraid that if she doesn't get along well and has nothing to say, she won't be able to get close. But Fang Anyue is open-minded, she is not a little cautious, she is also very interested in preparing for the festival this time, and she said to Mrs. Lin when she was at home that she thinks that the concubine is amiable, not the kind of person who wants to stand up when she is rich, but it is a pity that she is in the palace, and it is difficult to get close to her. These things are looked at by others, but they don't cost much to the other party's family. For example, some things in the south, ivory, brocade bird feathers, spices, those local people just want to exchange some salt and rice grain, or a hoe and a bow, and when they arrive in the prosperous Jiangnan and Beijing, they are worth a hundred times and a thousand times.
"It's all a family, she doesn't see you, and you don't see her. Your little uncle hurts you, where will your little aunt treat you badly? β
The eldest prince led Lin Minsheng back to his house. Yong'an Palace is a big place, and the eldest prince himself lives in Fangshuxuan at the back, and the five rooms are very spacious, and there is an attic upstairs. Since the eldest prince moved here, he has only invited two companions to his house, and he only stayed for a short time, sat down and left without even drinking tea.
The eldest prince knew in his heart that they were afraid that this was a place for a noble concubine, so they didn't dare to stay longer. If he moves to the palace and lives alone, it will be a different matter. Don't talk about being a guest, you should come to live with him, you can go home for two days every ten to see, and stay in the palace the rest of the time.
But even if he understood this truth, the eldest prince did not want to move out.
He knew that he was growing up day by day after all, and at most he would be in Yong'an Palace for another year or two, and he wouldn't be able to say anything if he didn't move the palace. The remaining days are so short, and the days to live alone in the future are so long, what is there to rush now? The eldest prince also wished that life would pass more slowly, so that he could live in Yong'an Palace for a longer time.
But it was Lin Minsheng who was entertained today, so the situation was different. First, Lin Minsheng has no taboos when he is young, and secondly, he is still the nephew of the concubine, so his family doesn't have to pay attention to it so much.
The eldest prince made up his mind to entertain the guests.
He asked Lin Minsheng to visit his house, the house was very generous, Liu Shanggong was a person who could manage people, and the little eunuchs and several palace maids around the eldest prince asked her to clean up properly, and she was extremely careful and proper.
Lin Minsheng entered the house and said, "Your house is really big." β
The eldest prince smiled and asked him to sit down and asked him what he was doing at home during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Minsheng said: "I set off firecrackers, went out with my grandmother and them, and I also went to the temple fair on the first day of the new year." β
Princess Yuyao asked him, "Temple fair?" Where is it? β
Lin Minsheng said: "It's in Huaxing Temple, not far from where our family lives, and it's just a meal away for a walk. β
The eldest prince also asked curiously: "Does anyone go to the temple fair under the New Year?" β
"There are so many people, it's so crowded, my shoes are almost lost."
Princess Yuyao asked again: "How can I lose my shoes?" β
Look at these two are good children who haven't been out much. Lin Minsheng stood up and walked to the eldest prince, pulled him to make the appearance of the two of them squeezing together, and then stepped on the heel of the eldest prince's back shoe. The eldest prince was amused, and at the same time he pulled his foot according to his meaning, and of course, when his feet got up, his shoes didn't get up, and he naturally fell to the ground.
"People can't move, pushing you forward, and you can't go back to pick up your shoes if you lose them." Lin Minsheng said: "At this time, there are many petty thefts, and many people bring their purses so unknowingly that people don't know if they take them off." β
Liu Shanggong stood on the side, watching Lin Minsheng step on the shoes of the eldest prince, and she didn't squeak as if she hadn't seen it. The palace people on the side and the eunuchs who saw this scene were secretly stunned.
Usually Liu Shanggong talks more about the rules, but when she meets the nephew of the concubine's mother, doesn't she have to shut up honestly?
The dim sum was delivered, and the dim sum that the eldest prince usually used was mainly light, and there was no one that was difficult to restrain and had a lot of oil and sugar. Today, most of them felt that there were guests, so they deliberately added two more items, one is fried crispy fruit, and the same is preserved venison.
The eldest prince warmly entertained the guests, but he could only eat half a rice cake with a small bite, and he didn't dare to eat more, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat the meal. Lin Minsheng was not so restrained, he had a good appetite, tasted chestnut crisp, and ate preserved venison, and praised the preserved venison: "This is delicious and fragrant." β
The eldest prince usually doesn't eat much meat, and he knows what the taste of dried meat is, but he feels that the flavor of spices is a bit heavy, and a little too hard, and he gritted his teeth. But since Lin Minsheng liked it, the eldest prince said: "I'll let you pack a box for you to take back to eat." β
Lin Minsheng also said honestly: "That's good, thank you very much." β
Getting along with each other so casually and freely, the eldest prince also felt very fresh. His two companions were more than polite to him, but not close enough. Qiao Shuying is still his cousin, but Qiao Shuying's temperament doesn't know who he is, obviously his father and mother are smooth and enthusiastic and can be human beings, but Qiao Shuying pays special attention to etiquette at a glance, and usually shouts from His Royal Highness, and there is no intimacy between cousins.
But together with Lin Minsheng, the eldest prince thinks that probably ordinary relatives are like this, right?
He remembered that last time Princess Yuyao said that she wanted Lin Minsheng to be his companion, although he knew that it would not work, but his heart was inevitably a little shaken now.
It would be nice if we could meet like this every day, read and talk together.
Princess Yuyao looked at him with blank eyes, the brother and sister have lived together for more than half a year, and the eldest prince understands her, and if she can't say anything, she looks at people like this, and the words are in her eyes.
My sister likes this Lin Minsheng very much, and the eldest prince himself likes it too. Although he is his companion, he is not in charge. Besides, he knew that being able to be a companion was a big deal for Qiao Shuying and Cheng Jinrong, no less than adults becoming famous and officials. It would be too much if you suddenly stopped letting people do it halfway.
At noon, Mrs. Lin and they stayed in Yong'an Palace for lunch, and the emperor specially came over to enjoy the dishes. For others, the emperor's appreciation of food is a big face. For Yong'an Palace, it is commonplace. Today, the emperor specially appreciated the dishes, in fact, to save face for Mrs. Lin and them.
For lunch, there is a jade soup that the prince likes, which is light, the soup is green, and the white jade balls carved into the shape of plum blossoms float in the soup. Lin Minsheng likes to dry fry tenderloin and Sixi meatballs. Princess Yuyao is very well-behaved today, that is, she must sit next to Lin Minsheng when she eats.
Xie Ning said with a smile: "These two children are in love. β
Mrs. Lin thought more.
The princess is very beautiful and lovely, but ...... The princess is always with Min Sheng, is it?
Mrs. Lin smiled and thought that she must have thought too much. They are all children, only a few years old, and where do they want to go. It's all because someone came to visit a few days ago, and they actually talked about Minsheng's family affairs. Such a person just watched the Lin family come out of the concubine and wanted to cling to it, so naturally they couldn't respond to such a family affair.
