The capital, the palace.

The prince's Royal Highness entertains his brothers and sisters in the east palace. Lin'an, as his younger sister, arrives early and sits on the chair, swinging her feet at the bottom of her skirt.

She didn't wear a red skirt today. It was a gorgeous dress with purple as the bottom and gold lace. She wore a ruby coral crown with coral as the skeleton. There were two vivid Golden Phoenix arches with ruby in the middle and six tassels with pearls hanging down.

In addition, there are gold step shake and jade hairpin and other jewelry, dressed gorgeous and exquisite.

Purple is a common material for concubines in the palace. It sets off the elegance and nobility of a mature woman and is not suitable for young girls. However, Lin'an's temperament is too delicate, giving people the feeling of a doll dressed up.

Coupled with a round face, charming and affectionate peach blossom eyes, both charming and charming, but also proud and pure. A variety of temperament mixed in one place, but also excellent control.

Half an hour before lunch, the princes and daughters came to the East Palace one after another. We were used to the gorgeous and exquisite beauty of Lin'an.

Among the four princesses, she is probably the only one who is suitable for this kind of dress. I'm afraid other princesses can't resist the gorgeous dress.

Huaiqing beauty is enough, but temperament does not match.

"Isn't Huaiqing here yet?" Lin'an's smart eyes turned and looked at the door.

"The messenger will come, and she will come later." His royal highness said with a smile, and then coughed:

"today is the day for the sale of chicken essence made by Si Tianjian. I also sent some to the palace. I've just invited my younger brothers and sisters to have a taste. "

As a matter of fact, as early as a few days ago, Si Tianjian "paid tribute" to a batch of chicken essence and sent it to the imperial dining room of the imperial palace. Several princes and daughters all enjoyed this kind of irresistible seasoning.

When it comes to this hot topic, the princes and princesses are interested in talking.

"When it comes to chicken essence, it's really delicious, but it's easy to get thirsty."

"Yesterday, my father also said that you can't eat too much of it. A light diet is the way to keep healthy."

With that, several princes quietly turned their lips, and they didn't think much of the idea of health preservation of emperor Yuanjing. Only when people are middle-aged, will they want to soak medlar in a thermos cup. Why should young people keep in good health?

Lin'an looked left and right and raised his round and white jaw: "do you know who invented chicken essence?"

At this time, it will become mounted, bitchy.

The princes and daughters really don't know about this problem. There are only three people in the palace who know about it. The crown prince and Huaiqing. If they don't talk about it, no one will know.

"My sister is Gao An," she asked

She emphasized the second half of the sentence.

"Xu Qian?" The fourth Prince frowned, "isn't that Huaiqing's person?"

The fourth Prince is Huaiqing's brother.

"It's my man now, and he swore to be true to me." Mounting shows off his behavior of digging the foot of Huaiqing wall.

Because in the eyes of a group of brothers and sisters, she has always been bullied by Huaiqing. Now it's hard to pull back the game, and she can't stop it. The better Xu Qi'an is, the happier she is, because the greater her sense of achievement is.

The princes and daughters were dumbfounded, and the fourth Prince frowned secretly. He was very unhappy with Lin'an's behavior of prying his younger sister's corner.

However, although he was the empress's legitimate son and should have the highest status, the crown prince was passed on to the eldest son of the common people, which is now the crown prince, Lin'an's brother.

At the same time, Emperor Jingdi treated other children equally, but only favored Lin'an and didn't like Huaiqing very much. This makes the fourth prince even less confident.

The mother said that Huaiqing was strong and domineering, just like his father when he was young, and his talent was better than the number of chips. If she were a man, I'm afraid her father would hate her even more.

"Whose is Xu Qi'an?"

At this time, outside the door came the voice of Huaiqing, a cool and pleasant voice with texture, and the eldest daughter in the palace skirt of Yuehua arrived.

The princes and daughters clearly see that Lin'an's arrogance "whew" is withered. At first, she is unconvinced. She seems to want to be hard, but then she counsels again. With her cheeks bulging, she says loudly: "half a person!"

Use the most arrogant tone to say the most counselling words.

Huaiqing let out a "ha".

She knows that Xu Qi'an's right and left operation and tolerance are mainly because Lin'an is a stupid sister and has no threat at all. Robbing people just to be angry with her.

If other princes dare to rob her like this, Huaiqing will fight back. It's an unrelenting fight back. It's not like treating Lin'an like this. It's just frightening her.

Huaiqing went to Lin'an and looked down at her. She said, "go away, I want to sit in this position."

Mounting looked up and saw only Huaiqing's eyes, not her lower face, because Huaiqing's disgusting meat blocked her sight.

This discouraged her. She was not only more talented, but also in better shape. In addition to her father's favor, she has nothing to compare with Huaiqing.

Mount mount is a delicate girl, by Huaiqing so bully, wronged don't turn your head.I can't help it. I can't fight again and again. It's against the identity of a royal daughter. Besides, Huaiqing is a scholar and doesn't bring dirt at the exit. She is not her rival.

Prince "cough" a, come out to play warm field: "Huaiqing, you don't and Lin'an same opinion, you are sister."

Huaiqing just let go of mounting, don't bully my sister.

...

at dinner, the prince said casually, "have you heard about the Royal study today?"

The fourth prince said immediately, "the monument and the water transport yamen?"

The prince nodded and said with a smile, "we don't have to talk about the matter of the water transport Yamen. It's up to the court and the emperor to decide. But it's the matter of the monument. It's amazing. "

The fourth Prince nodded: "Er Shi Er Lu, people's fat and people's cream, lower people are easy to abuse, heaven is hard to deceive!"

"Good poem!" As soon as Huaiqing's eyes brighten, her beautiful face blooms.

She has always been silent about food and sleep, but the core of this poem makes the eldest daughter feel more excited than "I don't know the sky is in the water after I'm drunk, and the fragrance floats at dusk".

What broken poetry, no mood... Mounting heart said.

Huaiqing stared at the fourth Prince and asked, "who wrote this poem?"

She never pays attention to the news in the palace.

The prince answered, "it's Xu Qi'an."

"Good poem!" Mount mount two small hands "pa pa" pat desktop, praise loudly.

"It's his temper." Huaiqing smiles.

"What is his temper? It seems that you know him well." Mounting habitually raises the bar.

Huaiqing didn't want to talk about it, but he saw several princes looking at him and pondering for a while, saying:

"Xu Qi'an is jealous of evil, regardless of the festival, which is different from those high sounding scholars who can only talk about it."

"Is it about him cutting the silver Gong?" His Highness the prince said with a smile.

"The day before yesterday, I chatted with Duke Wei and talked about this man," Huaiqing glanced at the princes. "Duke Wei said that since Xu Qian entered the post, he has never been greedy for ink."

"Then why do you say he doesn't care." She felt her dog was smearing.

She gave Huaiqing a fierce look.

Princess Huaiqing said, "Xu Qi'an is addicted to the Department of Jiaofang and does not go home at night. He has a lot to do with Huakui Fuxiang in Yingmei Pavilion."

Mounting face smile gradually disappeared, opened the peach blossom eyes, said aloud: "you nonsense."

She picked up a few mouthfuls of rice in a dull voice, feeling that the food was not fragrant. She threw her chopsticks and said in a temper, "no more."

He got up, raised his skirt, and left with his maid.

...

Lin'an was angry, but it didn't affect everyone's eating. His highness was embarrassed and raised his glass with a smile to let the banquet go on.

After the banquet, Huaiqing went back to his palace, drank a large bowl of tea, and then meditated in the boudoir.

Recently, she was promoted to lianqijing quietly. That day, she talked to Wei Yuan for this matter.

Huaiqing's talent is very good, but she has been forbearing, not show mountains and no dew. But as she grew older, she felt that she could improve her accomplishments properly.

Mainly, throughout the year, Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty did not mention the marriage of the princesses.

My father cultivates immortals, and my mother is a Buddhist. If emperor Jingdi doesn't mention it, she doesn't care... My mother has always been like this. As the queen of my mother, she is not keen on her position and identity.

"Your Highness, you sent a letter from Qingzhou." The guard came in in a hurry.

Your family, refers to the palace of Huaiqing in the imperial city.

Letters from princesses and princesses are usually not allowed to enter the Imperial Palace and will be sent to their respective houses.

Qingzhou? Princess Huaiqing thought that Ziyang had written to her. She nodded, "take it."

The guard respectfully handed it up and left.

Huaiqing opened the envelope with the first sentence: at the time of writing this letter, I had already arrived at the border of Qingzhou...

Huaiqing knew that it was Xu Qi'an who wrote the letter. The letter was very long and had two pages. She read on attentively. When she saw the corruption case of Yuzhou water transport yamen, Princess Huaiqing had a dignified face.

If you look down again, it's suddenly not very serious. Because the follow-up content is not a subordinate's tone of reporting affairs to the superior, it is more like a man speaking his heart to the woman he loves....

Princess Huaiqing murmured and repeated, immersed in the beautiful words in her mind The picture of lotus blooming.

"It's a pity that Xu Ningyan didn't read." with that, Princess Huaiqing dumped the envelope and slid out a withered lotus petal.

Is this boy writing this letter to show his love to me? Princess Huaiqing was lost in thought.

If our palace delivers the letter to the palace, his ten heads are not enough.

She folded the envelope and kept it in books she didn't read often.Then he called the maid of honor to write down the golden sentence of lotus in the letter and hang it in the study.

Looking at this picture, Huaiqing gently tilted the corner of his mouth.

...

"what's the matter with your highness?"

"I don't know. I've been depressed ever since I came back from the prince."

"Maybe he was bullied by the princess... But it's not like that. If he was bullied by the princess, his highness would have yelled at him now. It's not the same thing after that."

In the courtyard, several palace maids gathered together to talk. Lin'an had just lost his temper. There were only two palace maids in the bedroom to accompany him. Others did not dare to touch the mold.

"Your Highness, why should you be angry with Princess Huaiqing?" advised the maid of honor.

"Not her!" Mounting airway: "it's the dog slave."

The two maids were stunned for a while before they realized who the "dog slave" was. One of them was patted by Xu Qian.

The maids looked at each other, puzzled, and said that his Highness's dog slaves had been away from Beijing for more than half a month.

"What did he do to your highness?"

"I don't know." Lin'an looks gloomy, "just feel uncomfortable."

“???”

At this time, a bodyguard came to the courtyard and asked to see Princess Lin'an. Seeing that she was the bodyguard of her family, the maid of honor had to knock on the door: "Your Highness, the bodyguard asked for your letter from Qingzhou."

A letter from Qingzhou? Lin'an was stunned. Her social circle was very small. In addition to the brothers and sisters in the Imperial Palace, the brothers and sisters in the imperial family, and the relatives of some adults, she would occasionally write to her and invite her to participate in the private tea party held in the women's boudoir.

But Qingzhou is not included.

"Who sent the letter?" Asked the maid.

"I don't know." Reply from the maid outside the palace.

The palace maid looked at Lin'an. Seeing that she nodded, she turned her head and cried, "bring it in."

PS: I went out to work in the morning, which delayed the update. I'm looking for a monthly ticket.
