Chapter 54: The Grace of the City (2)
It was the first time that the Grand Prince's Mansion had been built, and it was not particularly gorgeously built, in stark contrast to the luxurious Prince's East Palace, and the Great Prince's reputation for incorruptibility was still widely spread in Amaterasu, but please let him never believe in these skin-like things. She explained her intention to the person guarding the door, and a person like a chief manager came out to greet her with a smile, saying that the eldest princess had just returned from the palace to ask for peace.
Shuhua Zhai, this is the mansion of the great prince specially built for Hua Shu, the flowers and trees in the yard seem to have inquired about Hua Shu's hobby, and she likes to plant them, although it is the autumn day when ten thousand trees are withering, but Shuhua Zhai is full of vitality and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
"The concubine body is see the eldest princess and concubine Niangniang, and the concubine is blessed with Jin'an."
"Sister, hurry up," Hua Shu's eyes were full of spring, her ruddy and shy face was full of joy, and she was a little more enthusiastic about Qingrang than usual, "How did you come over, I should have asked someone to pick up my sister." ”
Qing Rang looked at the food on the table, there was no trace of turning the bottom, and lifted the food box, "Yesterday Jin Niang made some snacks for me to appetize, I remembered that a few dishes are your favorite food on weekdays, so I asked her to make a new one this morning, it is still late to catch up, and Niangniang has already eaten." ”
Hua Shu smelled the smell and exclaimed, "Is it red bean ball?" "It's even more surprising to open it in a hurry," and there are mille-feuille cakes and Qingyuan cakes. I'm worried that I don't have an appetite, and my sister is so timely. ”
The maid Xiaoyan was sensitive, and seeing that Hua Shu liked to quickly let people withdraw the original dishes, "Niangniang, since you have these pastries, why don't you invite the second lady to sit in the garden, and the slave maid will make a pot of good tea with these pastries." ”
"It's for the best."
"I feel much more relieved that there is a maid like Xiaoyan by my mother's side, after all, it is much more comfortable to have someone of my own by my side when I am away from home." Qing Rang's praise was specially said to Xiaoyan who had not gone far yet, she knew that Hua Shu had always had shallow ears, and she often heard Xiaoyan's words in her heart.
Sitting in the small pavilion in the garden, Xiao Yan was boiling chrysanthemum tea, and Qing Rang was holding the pastries for Hua Shu, "Don't blame me for talking too much, as a sister, I still can't help but care, the eldest prince is good to you?" ”
Hua Shu's cheeks climbed up to the red glow, and she nodded slightly, as if she was about to drip honey, it seemed that the eldest prince Xin An should be gentle and caring for her.
"It's good for him to be good to you, and women often expect nothing more than a good husband." Although Qingrang and Hua Shu have a shallow sisterhood, they still hope that she will really live happily when they grow up together since childhood, and secretly pray that Xin An is good to her not because of the power of the Duanmu family, and hopes that they will always be good in the future.
"Sister, what do you think, why is your face a little bad?"
"Seeing that Niangniang is happy and sweet now, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic for myself, and I don't think it's strange to look at Niangniang if I lose my courtesy."
Qingrang's "feeling for herself" Hua Shu can understand, after all, Qingrang only married a few months earlier than her, but soon after the newlywed separated from her husband, she heard that Nanxiang is now in turmoil, and Qingrang's identity is an aunt, I'm afraid it's a bad time.
Hua Shufang was about to comfort a few words, when he heard a pleasant male voice from the garden, "This king heard that there were guests in the house, so he came over to say hello." ”
Qing Rang knelt on the ground with Hua Shu behind him, and when Xin An stepped forward to support Hua Shu, she secretly looked at it, this man who is now with the prince is really heroic, and it is the heroic temperament that Hua Shu will fall into.
"The concubine body sees the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Excuse me," Xin An helped Hua Shu sit down, only waved his hand at Qing Rang casually, and said a gentle drizzle to Hua Shu: "I heard the people below say that you haven't eaten today?" ”
"I don't have much appetite, but fortunately, my sister brought some snacks from my hometown, and the prince also tasted them." Hua Shu took a piece and handed it over, but Xin An waited for it with her mouth open, Hua Shu signaled with a coquettish gesture that there were still others, but she still obediently sent it into Xin An's mouth.
After chewing again and again, Xin An turned his gaze to Qing Rang, "You bothered, it's indeed delicious." ”
Qing Rang immediately knelt on the ground again, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your praise." ”
"Since it's a family, there's no need to be polite."
Hua Shu smiled beside Xin An: "The prince doesn't know, my sister has been very strict with etiquette since she was a child, and she is afraid that she has more courtesies than all the servants in the house. ”
"It's a good thing to know the number of etiquette and know how to measure it."
Qing Rang sat upright, she could sometimes feel the gaze cast by the prince, not saying much, occasionally interjecting, only Hua Shu kept laughing.
"The autumn wind is cold, you are afraid that it is easy to catch a cold if you are so thin, go back to the room and add another one." Xin Anru said to Hua Shu, and the distressed and concerned look Qing Rang felt that it was okay to let Hua Shu go to Dao Mountain. But she didn't have time to observe for Hua Shu whether this was true or false, because Xin An changed her appearance as soon as Hua Shu left.
"Anyway, what are you doing in the house?"
Qing Rang knelt on the ground, "Ask the prince to save my husband from Puqing Temple." ”
"Hehe, sure enough, this is the case, Yu Zichen was demoted to Puqing Temple to face the wall and think about it is the will of the saint, if I intercede for him, it is not against the will of the saint."
"Wang Ye Mingjian, the husband has been in Puqing Temple for several months if he is frail, and if he stays, I am afraid that his body will not be able to bear it, the Yu family only has one son-in-law, if the prince can rescue the husband for the Yu family, the Nanxiang Yu family will be sent by the prince in the future."
"You are a woman after all, how can an arrogant person like Yu Zichen be used by me? When the time comes, what should the king do if he loses his wife and folds his army? ”
"Nanxiang is now destitute, and his husband has already accepted his heart. Moreover, in addition to losing his wife and losing his soldiers, there is also a saying that is more suitable for the relationship between the prince and his husband. ”
"Oh?" Xin An raised an eyebrow.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Xin An was stunned for a moment, Qingrang's meaning was obvious, Yu Zichen was reported by the prince, and now he must hate the prince to the core, so she hinted to him that since he also wanted to be an enemy of the prince, it was better to join forces as an alliance.
Hua Shu added a cloak, and before Xin An brought a windbreaker, her steps came in a hurry.
Xin An stepped forward to help Qing Rang, "This king has said that his family doesn't need so much courtesy, it's too much." The eyes of the two exchanged eyes, and Qing Rang already understood that he had agreed to help.
Hua Shu put on a windbreaker for Xin An, although she didn't know why, she still echoed, "That's it, my sister will be really angry with me and the prince if I give so much courtesy." ”
Qing Rang smiled lightly, but in Xin An's smile, he began to worry about Hua Shu's future, such a calculating man is less upright than Yu Zichen, how can he cherish Hua Shu for decades, the only thing that can be prayed for at this time is the Duanmu family's prosperity all the way.
