Chapter 501: Elder Gift
Bai Xianyan said: "It's okay. ”
Princess Chu looked sincere: "These days, I have been uneasy in my heart, thinking about how to make up for it. ”
Bai Xianyan: "No need, cat! I can't understand people's words, and it is inevitable that there will be times when I run around. ”
Princess Chu said: "That's what I said, but after all, it's my cat!" But fortunately, these days, I want to think about it, and I really think of a way to make up for you, and I hope His Royal Highness will laugh at it. ”
As she spoke, she beckoned to a woman in red behind her, and the woman came over and knelt in front of Bai Xianyan.
This woman, fifteen or sixteen years old, is like a flower, and her posture is very beautiful and moving.
Bai Xianyan noticed her just now, because she stood very eye-catching in the crowd, taller than ordinary women, and her temperament and appearance were very outstanding, which was stunning.
"This is my maiden cousin's daughter, named Cui Luoxue." Princess Chu said, "She has also read books, is quite talented, and is very good at embroidery." The door-to-door kiss almost broke the threshold! But my cousin and sister-in-law were reluctant to let her get married, and always wanted to keep her for a few more years, so I finally begged their family to come, and I gave her to you today! I should apologize to you! ”
Bai Xianyan raised an eyebrow: "Princess, the Cui family is also a famous family in my Great Jin, how dare this palace let the daughter of the Cui family be a maid for me?" I can't afford your apology! ”
Princess Chu's face was a little ugly, and she said, "You misunderstood, I brought her here, not to be a maid for you, but to ask her to be a concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Concubine?" Bai Xianyan smiled, "I'm sorry! Hongu misunderstood! You said you were going to apologize to me, and I thought you were going to ask her to be a maid for me! I didn't know that in your capital, there are still people who apologize like this? This palace is really lonely and unheard! ”
Princess Chu replied without changing her face: "The crown princess is inconvenient now, let her be a concubine for the prince, serve the prince for you, and help you take care of the East Palace, just to share your worries, isn't it?" ”
Bai Xianyan smiled and said nothing.
"What? The crown princess does not agree with my words? Princess Chu asked.
Bai Xianyan said: "I can only thank the princess for her 'kindness'. Our East Palace has a small population, so it is not difficult to take care of it, and we don't need more people to help. And in addition to me, there are two talented people in the East Palace! The crown prince is not short of people to serve. However, the palace still thanked the princess for her hard work. ”
Princess Chu sneered: "I heard that your Bai family also studied the Mu family and set up a women's school. I wonder what the crown princess learned in the women's school? How come you haven't even learned the most basic one: don't be jealous? There is another one: the elders give it, and it is not acceptable. I wonder if the princess has heard of it? ”
She said this, and Bai Xianyan was not polite to her: "The princess is too worried, I didn't say this out of jealousy, but just stated the facts." Speaking of the elderly, there is a cloud in the "Book of Rites": the elderly give, and the young dare not resign. It means that the elders are honored, and the things given by the elders are also honored, and the young or the lowly cannot be dismissed. If I'm not mistaken, that's what you mean, right? ”
The crown princess is the most noble existence under the empress dowager of the entire Great Jin Dynasty. The supremacy of imperial power, relatives have to be in the back row, and there is even a saying that "first the monarch and ministers, then the father and son" to maintain the authority of the imperial power.
Although the princess of Chu is higher than Bai Xian's seniority, there is a difference in her status between monarchs and ministers, and it is actually very inappropriate for her to say this.
