Chapter 31: The Pressure Grows
In the past few days, the prince has promoted a son of a poor family, Bai Huixian, to be the left waiter of the household department, which can really be said to be a fish leaping into the dragon gate.
Bai Huixian became the left servant of the household department of Zhengsanpin from the Minxian county order of the seventh grade, and her wife was not a simple one, just went to Yuncheng with her husband to join the company, so she handed over a post and wanted to go to the East Palace Biyuan to meet the crown princess He.
Originally, the wives of the courtiers were watching the play, and the crown princess He was a lonely and cold temperament, and they also sent a prayer post, but they were all rejected.
But who would have thought that the crown princess would accept Mrs. Bai's invitation alone, open the door of the blue courtyard, and obviously heard that the crown princess was even exempted from the invitation of the concubines of the East Palace.
It's really unoffended, Bai Huixian is the prince's favorite minister, and even Mrs. Bai has a lot to do with the crown princess!
Li Xiaoshu's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, she got out of the carriage with the maid's hand, she wore a command dress today, everything was dressed according to the etiquette, and there was no difference.
The delicate face has regular makeup, but it is a little less agile in Lijia Village.
The armor-clad guards at the gate of the solemn palace were guarding, and a person asked coldly, "Is there a palace card?" ”
Li Xiaoshu pinched the handkerchief and shook his head, "Mrs. Ben handed the post to the crown princess." ”
"Then wait." The guards were more respectful when they heard the crown princess, but they didn't let them go.
After a while, a palace maid wearing a yellow palace maid's dress came out of the palace, she was an extraordinary person, and the silver hairpin with a hairpin on her hair was not an ordinary palace maid with a hairpin.
The palace maid said a few words to the guard, and the guard nodded and smiled, "Aunt Tao, let me go." ”
After that, he opened the side door, and Xiao Taozi slowly walked in front of Li Xiaoshu, bending her knees slightly, "Madame Bai and the slave maid let's go, your maid is waiting outside the palace, and someone will take her to rest." ”
That maid is not qualified to enter the palace yet, so Li Xiaoshu naturally nodded.
Li Xiaoshu followed Xiao Taozi into the palace through the side door, and then walked to the palace road to the east.
The red walls and yellow tiles of the palace show the majesty and respect of the royal family everywhere, and some of the palace people who come and go will stop and say hello when they see the little peach, "Aunt Tao." ”
Li Xiaoshu knew in her heart that this Aunt Tao was a decent palace maid, and she gave Xiao Tao a purse full of silver when there was no one.
"Aunt Tao, take it."
Xiao Peach also harvests a lot on weekdays, and this time she also smiled, and reminded her a few words in a good mood, "The princess is a little tired today, and you don't want to bother you with the princess because you are old friends in the past." ”
Then Xiao Taozi looked at Li Xiaoshu with strange eyes, "The princess has never seen a foreign wife, you are the first one, it can be seen that this old friend has a lot of weight in the princess's heart." ”
When she entered the Biyuan in the morning, Xiao Taozi thought that the princess would be the same as before, so she refused, but the princess was silent and asked, "This Mrs. Bai is the Li family of Min County." ”
Mama Lu replied, "Back to the crown princess, yes." ”
She heard the crown princess sigh, "See, it's an old man I haven't seen for a long time." ”
Li Xiaoshu smiled shyly, but his eyes were a little obscure, "The princess misses the old love, and I have lived with the princess for a few years." ”
Xiao Taozi only praised Li Xiaoshu for being a great achievement, and then led the way in front.
When I arrived at the boundary of the East Palace, I walked for a long time before I came to a gorgeous palace, and the word "Biyuan" was hung in front of the palace.
Entering the courtyard, the sight suddenly broadened again, there are several splendid courtyards inside, the east hall and the west hall are comparable to the main hall elsewhere, but this whole courtyard is only a princess.
Xiao Taozi took Li Xiaoshu to the main hall, and Mama Lu just came out of it, and swept Li Xiaoshu with a pair of sharp eyes, almost making her break out in a cold sweat, "Mrs. Bai, the princess is inside." ”
"Mama'an." Li Xiaoshu, as a three-grade wife, greeted a grandmother, but the grandmothers who served her in the palace were always different, and some were decent.
Xiao Taozi opened the thick curtain at the door, took Li Xiaoshu to the warm pavilion, and raised the bead curtain again, and knelt down to salute after entering, "Princess, someone brought it." ”
Li Xiaoshu also knelt down and bowed in a proper manner, and his voice was humble, "The courtiers see the crown princess." ”
He Yue sat on the couch, with a soft pillow behind her waist, she looked at Li Xiaoshu who was kneeling on the ground, with an indescribable emotion in her heart, she said lightly, "Get up, Mrs. Bai." ”
Xiao Lizi moved an embroidery pier, Li Xiaoshu sat on the embroidery pier after getting up, and she dared to look up at He Yue now.
At this glance, her breathing stopped for a moment, and the handkerchief in her hand was clenched, she had always known that He Yue had a face that was difficult for others to match, but seeing her again today was more luxurious than before.
The thick black hair was combed into a bun, and the delicate ruby hairpins were interspersed with tassels, and the layers of gorgeous clothes were pressed with eight treasures.
But that face is really amazing, as bright as a peony blooming, and the flowers are colorless.
He Yue lazily played with the jade fan in his hand, using the best jade carving to make fan bones, although he couldn't use the fan when it was cold, but this kind of jade fan was originally used for enjoyment, how could it really be used to fan the wind.
She glanced at Li Xiaoshu lightly, "Things are people, but this palace doesn't know how to speak." ”
Li Xiaoshu sneered, folded his hands on his knees, and smiled, "The courtiers are coming back here, I just want to come to see you, in this cloud city, the courtiers only recognize you, the princess." ”
It is true that things are wrong, and Boss He, who was hard-mouthed and kind-hearted at the beginning, has also become the princess who is now indifferent to the dignity in front of her.
He Yue smiled and pointed at Li Xiaoshu with a jade fan, "You are not sincere." ”
She knows Li Xiaoshu, and she must have something to ask for this time.
"There is something I did come here this time." Li Xiaoshu smiled warmly, as if shyly said, "The courtiers and the husband are going to get married again." ”
"Thinking that only the crown princess and the courtiers are old acquaintances in this Cloud City, I thought of coming over to ask for a favor."
She put her posture in the dust, humble and submissive, "I don't ask you to come to the courtier's wedding in person, send the palace people to come and congratulate the courtiers, they are all happy." ”
He Yue stretched out her hand slightly and lifted Li Xiaoshu's slightly drooping face with a jade fan, her voice was unhurried, "You are going to use your big wedding to make a raft for your husband." ”
He Yue has been in the East Palace for so many days, and she has also learned a lot about the court, Bai Huixian and a cold family must be walking on thin ice in Yuncheng, which is a family, if she personally sends congratulations at the wedding, it will be a signal, a dependence, and others will not dare to despise Bai Huixian anymore.
Li Xiaoshu's eyelashes trembled, feeling the coldness of the jade fan, he swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and the whole person became nervous, He Yue himself was not aware of it, but her coercion was getting heavier day by day, and Li Xiaoshu was inevitably panicked.
"The courtiers and the husband are one, how can there be a raft." Li Xiaoshu replied tremblingly.
He Yue snorted, lowered her eyebrows, withdrew the jade fan, and asked casually, "Where did Bai Huixian's original match go?" ”
