Chapter 38: The Phoenix is Coming
In the Yuanxiang Garden of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Ruihe followed Qin Shuhuang into the flower hall and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the gifts brought by the concubine ...... you?"
Qin Shuhuang sneered, "It's all the things of the palace, so naturally you don't have to return it, it's good to register and make a book, if there is something that can be sold, sell it as soon as possible and exchange it for silver." ”
Ruihe really couldn't think of what Her Royal Highness the princess wanted to do with so much silver now, but the princess didn't say it, she didn't ask, just do everything according to what the princess said.
Seeing that the horse was blown out and the gift was left, it can be said that he lost his wife and broke his soldiers, Shilan Shiyu felt very happy.
The concubine and the Gu family used the princess so much before, and they deserved the retribution they deserve!
But judging from now, the princess is not indifferent to her dowry, and the two of them glanced at each other and took the initiative to ask for their life: "Your Highness, since you have moved to the Eldest Princess's Mansion now, it is better to let the two slaves and maids bring someone to transport your dowry to the Eldest Princess's Mansion." "Save it in the Gu family and be ruined by Mrs. Gu and others, those things were prepared in advance by the first emperor and the first queen for Her Royal Highness the princess, and they are all priceless good things in the market.
Qin Shuhuang picked up the medical book given by Song Yuan next to him and looked at it, and when he heard what Shilan Shiyu said, he sneered, "Don't worry, it's too early to go, Mrs. Gu will take the initiative to return the missing dowry to the palace!" ”
Shilan Shiyu was slightly surprised, but at this moment, the two of them were still a little suspicious of what Qin Shuhuang said.
Madam Gu is such a greedy person, would she really take the initiative to return the embezzled dowry to Her Royal Highness the Princess?
In any case, His Royal Highness said so, and Shilan Shiyu is not good at taking this matter.
Qin Shuhuang did not continue to pay attention to this matter, but said to Shilan Shiyu: "Mrs. Rongguo, do you have an invitation to send a chrysanthemum banquet?" ”
Mrs. Rongguo is the wife of the former emperor, and she is the aunt of Qin Shuhuang and Qin Shumin.
It's just that Mrs. Rongguo's life is not good, although her husband is the prince of the country, but he died on the battlefield at a young age, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter.
Mrs. Rongguo has not been healthy since she was a child, and her husband has been hit by the death, and her health has become worse and worse, and she has been haunted by the sickbed.
In order to snatch the title, the side branch of the Du family did everything possible and almost killed Mrs. Rongguo.
It was Qin Shuhuang's queen mother who tried her best to protect Mrs. Rongguo, and asked the first emperor for the title of "Mrs. Rongguo", which saved Mrs. Rongguo.
Mrs. Rongguo is not that kind of people can handle.
With the title of "Mrs. Rongguo", she gained a firm foothold in the Du family, and then passed on the child from the side, dragged the sick body and subdued the power of the deceased husband in the army, and spent five years completely caging the power of the Du family and raising the child.
Later, the first queen and the first emperor passed away one after another, and it was precisely because of the care of Mrs. Rongguo that Qin Shuhuang's sister and brother could grow up safely.
It's just that Mrs. Rongguo's health has been poor and her energy is limited, no matter what, Mrs. Rongguo's family also belongs to relatives, and she was severely suppressed by the regent Qin Wei, and when Qin Shuhuang's sisters and brothers got older, Qin Wei did not allow their sisters and brothers to contact Mrs. Rongguo too much, and sow discord from it.
She wanted to marry Gu Hongchao at the beginning, but Mrs. Rongguo was also against it, but she didn't listen to persuasion, Mrs. Rongguo was also angry with her for this, seeing that she was stubborn, and she gradually had less contact with her after marriage.
It's just that every year during the New Year's holidays, Mrs. Rongguo will still ask her adopted son Du Qinglin to send some gifts to her, and for some important banquets, Mrs. Rongguo will also ask people to send invitations, but she never participates.
Shilan Shiyu never thought that Her Royal Highness the princess would ask Mrs. Rongguo for an invitation on this day.
The two of them were slightly surprised in their eyes, stunned for a moment, but Shilan reacted quickly, and replied: "Back to Your Highness, I sent it, I received it a few days ago, but you never attended Mrs. Rongguo's banquet before, so the slave maid didn't mention it." ”
"When is the chrysanthemum feast?"
Shilan immediately went to look for the invitation, looked through the invitation, and Shilan said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, it's today!" ”
Qin Shuhuang hurriedly put down the medical book in his hand and ordered: "Prepare quickly, this palace is going to attend my aunt's chrysanthemum banquet!" ”
Shilan Shiyu listened to Qin Shuhuang's instructions and immediately prepared quickly.
The clothes are all ready-made, and the Eldest Princess's Mansion originally had all kinds of seasonal clothes prepared for Qin Shuhuang, just choose a set of bright and generous.
Qin Shuhuang personally selected the gifts, and without any trouble, he chose a lot of nourishing medicinal materials, wrote a medicinal diet recipe for nourishing the body, and personally invited the master Song Yuan to go to Mrs. Rongguo's courtyard together.
In the past, when Qin Shuhuang was in the Gu Mansion, Mrs. Rongguo's invitations were always sent to the Gu Mansion's concierge, although Qin Shuhuang did not accept it, but Mrs. Gu did not refuse.
Qin Shuhuang didn't go to the banquet, but Mrs. Gu would take someone to have a long face.
Now that Qin Shuhuang has moved to live in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Mrs. Rongguo's post was directly sent to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and Mrs. Gu naturally couldn't receive Mrs. Rongguo's post, so although Mrs. Gu knew about this banquet, she couldn't attend because she didn't have an invitation.
Mrs. Rongguo's courtyard is in the suburbs, and it takes a whole hour to set off from the eldest princess's mansion.
Rao is Qin Shuhuang had already asked the guards to speed up the carriage, and when she arrived at the other courtyard, it was almost noon, and the guests had already arrived first.
When Qin Shuhuang's carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, there were many carriages parked outside the courtyard, and there were those from various mansions.
When Qin Shuhuang saw these carriages and horses, he sighed in his heart about Mrs. Rongguo's intentions.
Aunt is the eldest sister of her mother, more than ten years older than her mother, and her health has always been bad, and she still insists on holding a chrysanthemum banquet every year, in order to get married to the royal brother.
In her previous life, she didn't come to this chrysanthemum banquet, which made her aunt suffer infamy, her body was stimulated, and her condition deteriorated and she passed away a month later, which also made her cousin Du Qinglin feel cold to their sisters and brothers, and finally defected to the fourth prince.
All kinds of chrysanthemums are in full bloom in the courtyard, and the maids and ladies are shuttling among them to serve the distinguished guests, although they are busy but not chaotic.
Mrs. Rongguo, dressed in purple dress, sat in the flower hall of the main courtyard, accepting the greetings of the ladies and ladies.
Mrs. Rongguo had a kind face and a gentle smile on her face, and anyone who saw it felt close and kind.
Du Qinglin hurriedly came in and saw that his mother was surrounded by the noble ladies of the capital talking funny, and her face was full of peace, but the smile on her face did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
Obviously the guests have already arrived, but my mother still looks around the corner of the courtyard from time to time, always fantasizing that a bright figure can come out of the corner, greet her with a smile, hold her arm, and call out "aunt" sweetly......
When Mrs. Rongguo saw her son coming, she couldn't help but ask with anticipation, "Is Huang'er here?" ”
