Chapter 296: The Joyful Palace's Mansion is comparable to royalty
In the early morning of the next day, a luxurious eight-treasure exquisite carriage had already stopped in front of the door of King Qi's mansion. The orange roof of the carriage, the carriage inlaid with this pearl agate, and on the four corners of the roof of the carriage, hang the night pearl. It can be seen that the carriage is luxurious.
The most striking thing is that the side of the carriage is printed with the word Qi. And this carriage is the exclusive carriage of King Qi, walking into the carriage, it can be said that it is a small study, the case, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, scrolls, the folds are really very complete.
Ling Ruohui sat in the carriage, Mu'er thoughtfully took out a few soft cushions and leaned behind Ling Ruoyi, and then took out the tea cup from the hidden compartment of the carriage, and prepared the pastries and hot water in the food box.
"Princess, if we go to visit King Xiaoyao like this, will he turn us away?" Mu'er said worriedly.
"No, he will see me ......." Ling Ruoyi said very confidently.
The carriage passed through the crowd, gradually out of the downtown area, towards the Zicui where the Xiaoyao Mansion is located, due to the long distance, the carriage traveled for two hours to the foot of Zicui Mountain, the faces of the people in the carriage were a little tired, Ling Ruoyi picked up the curtain with one hand, only to see a gray piece outside, presumably caused by the fog, but compared to the clarity of the day, this mist is refreshing, which makes people's spirits suddenly lifted, and the tiredness that has just been generated has gradually dissipated.
"This Zicui Mountain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and King Xiaoyao lives here, so he is not worried about the sneak attack of the young people!" At this time, Mengchun's unintentional words pointed out the doubts that lingered in Ling Ruoxi's heart!
Yes, surrounded by mountains on three sides, it can be said that it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
At this time, the remnant wind had already dismounted, walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain, and saw Ling Ruoyi's ruddy complexion, which relieved his heart.
When Ling Ruoxuan stepped out of the carriage, he saw the housekeeper who walked out of the Xiaoyao Mansion from the gate, walked to the front of the car, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Princess Qi, the prince is already waiting in the hall, please inside!" With that, he welcomed Ling Ruoyi and his party into the palace.
Just when Ling Ruoyi and his entourage stepped into the gate of the Xiaoyao Palace, they were attracted by the scenery inside! I have to say that this Xiaoyao King is indeed a person who knows how to enjoy, every grass and tree in this palace is taken from nature, even the rockery also retains the characteristics of Zicui Mountain, except for the pavilions and pavilions built here, the rest of the physical objects are retained the essence of nature! Compared to the imperial garden of the Imperial Palace, is it a grade or two higher?
The housekeeper didn't say much, just led a few people to continue to walk inside, through the huge front yard, and saw a delicate and brilliant palace appear in front of everyone, that brick and tile are glazed yellow, and the color of the bricks and tiles of the palace is similar, so bold, it seems that this free king is indeed a person who is uneasy about the status quo, but he is the royal family of the previous dynasty, and lives in this cliff steep, presumably the officials have never seen such a scene of trespassing!
At the door of the main hall, King Xiaoyao was already waiting, and when he saw Ling Ruoyi coming in, he stepped forward and saluted: "Hahaha, what a distinguished guest, welcome Princess Qi to my Xiaoyao Palace." ”
"The prince is too polite, the concubine has long heard of the many rare herbs on the Zicui Mountain, and she thought that the palace of the Xiaoyao palace is here, so the concubine sent a message and came to visit the prince."
"Hehe, it turns out that the princess likes the herbs on my mountain, yes, I have some herbs on the mountain, I have long heard that the princess is benevolent, and likes to benefit the poor, if these herbs are useful, then feel free to take them."
"Thank you for your compassion for the suffering of the people, but this Zicui Mountain was given to the Shao family by the ancestor emperor, and every grass and tree on this mountain belongs to the Shao family.
"Hahaha...... Princess Qi is really joking, although this Zicui Mountain was given to my Shao family by the ancestor emperor, but the whole world is not the king's land, and this Zicui Mountain is naturally also royal, not to mention that the princess wants to use herbs to save people, and this king will naturally not be stingy."
Hmph, it's really light to say, what does it mean not to be stingy, as if to tell Ling Ruoyi that this is my reward for you, you can take it.
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then the concubine will thank the prince first." ”
Just as Ling Ruohui and King Xiaoyao were about to leave, a woman wearing a peacock green pinched tooth trimmed yellow rose pattern plain silk cross-collared placket, a silver-white floral satin skirt mopping the floor, and a woman wearing a concubine-colored embroidery trimmed gold branch line Ye Yunjin walked over elegantly.
I saw that the woman was soft and blessed, "The concubine body is see the prince." ”
"The concubine is flat." The King smiled and picked up the woman with one hand.
Love Concubine? When I came to Xiaoyao Palace, I had heard King Qi say that this Xiaoyao King, he was the second Xiaoyao King, and the father of Emperor Yuchen was the same generation, it is said that he had three princesses around him, the main concubine Qin, the side concubine Dong, and the Zhao family, the main concubine Qin had a son and two daughters, and the side concubine Dong had two daughters, and the Zhao family entered the palace three years ago, and had two sons for the Xiaoyao King.
There is only one position for this Xiaoyao King, the son of the main family is naturally the first heir, the Dong family and the Qin family both entered the palace in the early years, and they are about the same age, and the one in front of him must be the Zhao family.
"Lord Wang, this is ......," the woman asked delicately.
"Aifei, come and see Princess Qi." The King of Joy introduced with a smile.
"The concubine has seen Princess Qi, and the princess is blessed."
"Concubine Zhao doesn't need to be polite, let's calm down." Ling Ruoyi helped the woman with one hand and said.
"How does the princess know that I am Zhao?" Zhao wondered. She didn't say that her surname was Zhao, and the prince didn't introduce it, how did she know.
"This concubine asked King Xiaoyao that there is a stunning side concubine, and when I saw it today, she really had the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower." Ling Ruoxuan smiled lightly.
"Princess Qi is really awarded, compared with Princess Qi's appearance, that is the difference between cloud and mud." Concubine Zhao said with a smile.
Advance and retreat politely, honor and disgrace are not shocked, this woman is really not simple, and there is a reason why she is so favored by King Yao.
"Aifei, Princess Qi wants to collect medicine in our back mountain, this king wants to accompany her, you go back to take care of the two children first." The King smiled lightly. When mentioning the two sons, the love on his face could not be concealed.
"Prince, let's let the concubines accompany Princess Qi, how to say, Princess Qi is a female dependent, it is better to be accompanied by a concubine, if the prince is accompanied, it is inevitable that there will be some gossip."
"En......" King Xiaoyao thought for a moment, and felt that what Concubine Zhao said was right, it was really his interpretation flower. Just as King Xiaoyao wanted to open his mouth and ask Concubine Zhao to accompany Ling Ruoxi, he heard a crisp voice......
"Slow down ......", and then came a middle-aged woman wearing a lemon and yellow group colorful phoenix pattern straight-necked cardigan, a mopping floor, a mopping floor, a stone gray embroidery, a ritan-patterned rattan skirt, and a dark pattern engraved silk plum bamboo chrysanthemum pattern tulle and gold brocade on a blue and green background.
"The concubine has seen the prince and the princess Qi." The middle-aged woman saluted respectfully.
"The concubine has seen my sister." Immediately, Zhao respectfully saluted the middle-aged woman.
"Humph!" The middle-aged woman snorted coldly, twisted her head to the side, and looked disdainful, Ling Ruoyi felt very funny when she saw them like this, the battle between the women in this mansion was sometimes very exciting.
"Jinglan, Princess Qi is coming to the mansion today, I'll let Meiyu come over to accompany you, what kind of anger are you?" The King of Joy said with a look of displeasure.
"Lord, when Princess Qi came to the mansion, it was naturally the concubine who was the heroine of the house to accompany her, Meiyu was just a side concubine, you let her accompany her, so it seems that we are too useless to be polite in the palace." Qin Jinglan said softly.
Hearing this, King Xiaoyao nodded slightly, it is indeed the case, Ling Ruohui came this time, not on behalf of herself, but the entire Qi Palace, or rather, this Princess Qi is here to test him, if such a slow treatment reaches the ears of the officials and the people, it is not a good thing, not to mention, this Princess Qi has a very high reputation in the Yunshang Kingdom.
Thinking of this, King Xiaoyao put his arm around Zhao Meiyu with one hand and said: "Aifei, Zu'er and Yao'er are still young, so it's better to go back and take good care of them, and this king and the princess will accompany Princess Qi together." ”
Hmph, this free king, in front of his wife, calls the concubine a concubine, so where does the face of the main room go. However, it seems that this Zhao Meiyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Sure enough, the development of things did not go so smoothly, Zhao Meiyu tearfully aggrieved: "The prince is disgusted with the concubine and is embarrassed, right?" The concubine knows that her identity is not as good as her sister, but the concubine is also a member of the palace, and today Princess Qi is a guest when she comes to the palace, and the concubine does not dare to slack off. ”
King Xiaoyao naturally favors this Concubine Zhao, seeing that she can sit in the position of a side concubine at a young age, and let King Xiaoyao not marry again, such a good means is not young and beautiful.
After a while, Dong Shi, another side concubine of King Xiaoyao, also rushed over, "The concubine has seen the prince, I have seen my sister, and I have seen Princess Qi." ”
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi smiled back and said, "Concubine Dong is exempt." ”
"Oh, the concubine has long heard that Princess Qi is beautiful, and when I see it today, it seems that this rumor is true." Concubine Dong said with a smile.
Mu'er and Mengchun on the side listened, pursed their lips, and said in their hearts, My princess is already beautiful, do you still need to say this. The people in this free palace are all so hypocritical.
"Concubine Dong has an overreputation, and this concubine came here today for some good herbs, but she just bothered the prince and the princess." Ling Ruoxuan smiled lightly.
"Oh, where did the princess say, there is nothing to bother or bother, you are the princess of Qi, your status is precious, it is really brilliant to be able to come to our palace." Dong said with a smile.
The Qin family and the Zhao family on the side rolled their eyes, as if they could fall out of their eyes. All of this has already been in Ling Ruoyi's eyes......
Since he was here to collect medicine, he naturally wouldn't stay in the palace for long, and Ling Ruoxuan also wanted to know what kind of treasures were hidden in this Xiaoyao Palace.
Accompanied by the Xiaoyao King and the concubine Qin, and the side concubine Dong, several people came to the back garden of Zicui Mountain, which is really eye-opening, in this back garden, there are all kinds of precious herbs, purple lingzhi, 100-year-old ginseng, 100-year-old He Shou Wu is really everything, and even the red arrowroot with the miracle effect of detoxification has appeared here. If you want to come to these precious herbs, even the palace may not have them.
"Princess, the herbs in my garden are still eye-catching, right? If you like it, even if you take it off, it can be regarded as a little bit of the king's heart for the people of Yunshang. ”
This is really flattering, to the people of Yunshang country, when the people were poisoned, why didn't you see that the king of Xiaoyao contributed these herbs?
The wealth and luxury of the Xiaoyao Mansion is really comparable to the royal family......
