Chapter 261: The Dongchi Kingdom Mission
After the fourth princess was put down, she began to move the tables, chairs and benches in the room, and the nurse and the palace maid were all on the side.
After moving a few steps, the fourth princess still wanted to let go and walk by herself.
Unexpectedly, after letting go, she just took a step and fell forward, but fortunately, the palace maid on the side was quick and hurriedly caught her.
Lu Yuning was afraid that the fourth princess would be frightened, so she hurriedly wanted to go over and pick up the fourth princess to comfort her, but the fourth princess walked up again as if she was nothing.
Lu Yuning shook her head, "I don't know who this guts looks like, it's very bold." ”
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "The fourth princess is a royal princess, and it's a good thing to be bold." ”
If she is a royal princess and still has a submissive temperament, she is sorry for her status as a royal princess.
"Yes, it's good for the concubine to look at the fourth princess like this." Concubine Kang also said.
The three of them were talking, and the four princesses were playing on the side, and Concubine Kang's mood slowly improved.
When it was almost time for dinner, Lu Yuning took the fourth princess back to Ruichang Palace.
Not long after I went back, Luo Chengjing came.
After Luo Chengjing entered the door and helped Lu Yuning, who was about to salute, the first thing he asked was: "What delicious did Concubine Ai's kitchen make today?" ”
He was busy discussing with the minister at noon today, and he only dealt with two mouthfuls in a hurry at lunchtime, and he was already a little hungry at this time.
Lu Yuning said with a smile: "The concubine asked the small kitchen to make fish fillets with milk sauce today, fried pigeon with sauce, and braised spring bamboo shoots in oil. ”
These three dishes were ordered by her, and the rest was arranged by the small kitchen.
Lu Yuning was talking to Luo Chengjing here, and Qingzhi had already hurriedly gone to the small kitchen to pass the meal.
After Lu Yuning finished serving Luo Chengjing and sat down at the table, the meal was already on the table.
The food in Lu Yuning's small kitchen has always been the same as Luo Chengjing's taste, and he didn't eat well at noon, so Luo Chengjing accidentally ate a little too much at this time.
After eating, Luo Chengjing took Lu Yuning to the Imperial Garden for a walk and eliminated his appetite.
On the second day, when Lu Yuning woke up with her tired body, Luo Chengjing had already gone to the morning court.
Lu Yuning is also used to it, she got up and freshened up and took the fourth princess to the Queen Mother's Shou'an.
It's just that from this day on, Luo Chengjing was busy for a while, and he stayed alone in Jianzhang Palace almost every day.
In addition to sending food twice, Lu Yuning didn't bother him too much.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to May.
Lu Yuning sat in front of the window, looking through the miscellaneous books in his hand while eating peeled lychees.
Lychee is sweet, it is Lu Yuning's favorite fruit, and a small plate of peeled lychee Lu Yuning quickly finished eating.
"Qingzhi, peel a few more lychees for me." Lu Yuning instructed Qingzhi Dao.
Hearing this, Qingzhi persuaded: "Master, you have eaten too many lychees and become angry, you have already eaten a lot today, and you can't eat more." ”
Lu Yuning looked at Qingzhi with a non-negotiable look, and sighed: "Alas, my favorite concubine doesn't even have the freedom to eat more lychees." ”
Qingzhi smiled helplessly, and just wanted to say something, Qingdai walked in from outside and reported: "Master, the two mothers of Concubine Kang and Concubine Xian are here." ”
Lu Yuning didn't want to hear the lychee anymore, and said to Qingdai: "Please let them in." ”
"Yes, master."
After Qing Dai went out, after a while, Concubine Xian and Concubine Kang came in.
"I've seen the mother." Concubine Xian and Concubine Kang saluted Lu Yuning.
Lu Yuning said with a smile: "Don't be polite, sit down, why should we be so polite between us." ”
Concubine Xian and Concubine Kang sat down on the chairs beside them.
As soon as Concubine Kang sat down, she said to Lu Yuning with a mysterious face: "Niangniang, have you heard that there is going to be an embassy from Dongchi Country to come to our Dayong?" ”
This is not a secret, the DPRK and China have been busy receiving the Dongchi State delegation these days.
Lu Yuning nodded and said, "I mentioned it a few days ago. ”
"Does that lady know what the mission is coming to our Dayong for this time?" Concubine Kang asked again.
Lu Yuning said with a smile: "Dongchi Kingdom and our Dayong have always been good friends, isn't this time just a friendly exchange?" ”
Every few years, Dongchi and Dayong will have another friendly exchange, either Dayong sends a delegation to Dongchi, or Dongchi sends a delegation to Dayong, which is not unusual.
Concubine Kang shook her head and said, "Not this time." ”
Lu Yuning looked at Concubine Kang puzzled, isn't it what? Could it be that Dongchi and Dayong have been friends for so many years, and now Dongchi is watching Dayong and Xirong at war, and they also want to tear up the friendly alliance with Dayong and fight each other?
But in this case, why did Dongchi Kingdom shoot an embassy to Dayong again, wouldn't it be okay to send troops directly to Dayong?
Lu Yuning was still speculating, Concubine Kang lowered her voice and explained to Lu Yuning: "I am afraid that Dongchi Kingdom came to Dayong this time for the marriage of the two countries, and this time there are also the second princesses of their Dongchi Kingdom who came with the Dongchi State delegation. ”
"The second princess of Dongchi Kingdom has just turned seventeen this year, and she is bright and moving, and she is a famous beauty in Dongchi Kingdom." Kang Concubine said.
Seventeen years old, how young and fresh, coupled with her beauty, her identity is the princess of Dongchi Kingdom, if she enters the palace, I am afraid it will have a great impact on Lu Yuning, which is also the reason why Concubine Kang came to tell Lu Yuning as soon as she received the news.
After Lu Yuning knew the news in advance, he could also make some responses in advance.
Concubine Kang saw that Lu Yuning didn't speak for a long time, and then continued: "But even if this Dongchi Kingdom wants to marry, these two princesses don't necessarily have to enter the palace. ”
Lu Yuning smiled and shook her head, "If Dongchi Kingdom really came with the idea of marriage, then the princess would definitely enter the palace." ”
Because in addition to entering the palace as a concubine, Dayong has no other princess of Shangdong Chiguo.
If the emperor has a grown prince, let the prince marry the princess of Dongchi Kingdom, but the third prince is only three years old this year.
If King Mu and King Ning hadn't gotten married, they would have been able to match the princess of Dongchi Kingdom, but now that both of them have already married concubines, the emperor can't let the princess of Dongchi Kingdom be a side concubine.
In that case, the people of Dongchi Kingdom will definitely not be willing.
However, Lu Yuning is more curious about where Concubine Kang got the news, and I am afraid that no one in the harem knows about it yet.
Concubine Kang heard Lu Yuning ask, and said with a smile: "The concubine has a younger brother in the family, who doesn't like to study, and prefers business, he has been running back and forth between Dongchi and Dayong in the past few years, and he wrote to tell the concubine about this." ”
Dongchi and Dayong have good relations, and the two countries have always been in exchange of trade.
"The concubine thought that Niangniang knew about it in advance, and she would be able to have a plan in her heart when the time came." Kang Concubine said.
When Lu Yuning heard this, she smiled and thanked Concubine Kang, "Thank you." ”
Concubine Kang said: "Why should you be polite, you take care of the concubines and concubines on weekdays, and the concubines have not been able to help the mother, if the news can help the mother a little bit this time, the concubine will be very happy." ”
