Nightwatcher Chapter 206: letter
The capital, the palace.
His Royal Highness hosted a banquet for the brothers and sisters of the Heavenly Family in the East Palace. The sister of Lin'an arrived early, sitting on a chair, dangling his feet under the skirt.
She is not wearing a red dress today. It is a gorgeous long dress with a purple base and gold trim. She wears a coral crown with ruby and coral as the skeleton. The two lifelike golden phoenix guards have rubies in the middle, hanging down six Tassel with pearls.
In addition, there are jewelry such as Jinbu Yao and jade hairpin, which are gorgeous and delicate.
Purple is a commonly used material for concubines in the palace. It sets off the elegance and nobility of mature women and is not suitable for girls. However, Lin'an's temperament is too delicate and gives people the feeling of a well-dressed doll.
With a round face and charming and passionate peach eyes, they are both charming and coquettish, but also proud and innocent. A variety of temperaments are mixed together, but it happens to be an excellent control.
Half an hour before lunch, the princes and princes came to the East Palace one after another. Everyone has long been accustomed 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. If you switch to other princesses, I am afraid that you can't suppress the overly gorgeous dress.
Huaiqing beauty is enough, but the temperament does not match.
"Huaiqing hasn't arrived yet?" Lin'an's agile eyes turned, looking out the door pretty.
"When the errand is going to spread the word, she will come later." His Royal Highness said with a smile, and then coughed:
"Today is the day when Si Tian Jian's secret chicken essence is sold, and some are given to the palace. This palace invites brothers and sisters to come and taste it."
In fact, a few days ago, Si Tianjian "tributed" a batch of chicken essence and sent it to the royal dining room of the imperial palace. Several princes and princes have enjoyed this addictive seasoning.
Speaking of this hot topic, the princes and princes began to talk with interest.
"Speaking of this chicken essence, the taste is really unstoppable, but it is easy to get thirsty."
"The father said yesterday that this food should not be eaten too much. A light diet is the way to keep healthy."
Speaking, the princes quietly pouted their lips, disagreeing with Yuanjing's philosophy of health preservation everywhere. Only when people are in the middle age will they think about soaking wolfberries in a thermos. Why do young people need to keep healthy?
Lin'an glanced around, his mellow and white jaw raised: "Do you know who invented the essence of chicken?"
At this time, it's framed, bitch.
The princes and princes really don’t know this question. Only three people in the palace know about it, the prince Biaobi and Huaiqing. If they don’t say anything, no one will know.
Under the questioning of the brothers and sisters, the chin is taller, and Yan Ran said: "It's Xu Qi'an, it's my subordinate."
She emphasized the second half sentence.
"Xu Qi'an?" The fourth prince frowned, "Isn't that from Huaiqing?"
The four princes are the brothers of Huaiqing.
"Now it's mine, and he swears to be loyal to me." Biaobian flaunted his behavior of digging Huaiqing's wall.
Because in the eyes of Yigan brothers and sisters, she has always been bullied by Huaiqing, and now she has finally gotten back a round, but she can't stop it. The better Xu Qi'an is, the happier she is, because the greater the sense of accomplishment.
The princes and princes laughed dumbly, and the four princes frowned secretly, very unhappy about Linan's act of prying his sister into the corner.
However, although he was the son of the queen and should have the highest status, the position of prince was finally passed to the eldest son, the current prince, the brother of Lin'an.
At the same time, Emperor Yuanjing treated the other children equally, but loved Lin'an alone and didn't like Huaiqing very much. This makes the four princes more and less emboldened.
The queen mother said that Huaiqing is strong and domineering, just like his father when he was young, and his talent is even better. If she was a man, she would be even more disgusting to the emperor.
"Whose person is Xu Qi'an?"
At this time, Huaiqing's cold, textured, sweet voice came from outside the door, and the eldest daughter in a moonflower palace dress arrived.
All the princes and princes clearly saw that Lin'an's arrogant arrogance "shooed" and wilted. She was not convinced at first, and seemed to want to be tough, but then she slammed her cheeks and said loudly, "One and half! "
Speak the most insulting words in the most arrogant tone.
Huaiqing said "Heh".
She knew about Xu Qi'an's actions from side to side, and the tolerance of opening one's eyes and closing one's eyes was mainly because Lin'an was a stupid sister who was not threatening at all. The robbing was just to be stunned with her.
Change to other princes, who dare to rob her like this, Huaiqing will counterattack, it is an unsparing counterattack, instead of just frightening her like Lin'an.
Huaiqing walked to Lin'an, looked down at her from a condescending position, and said lightly: "Go away, I want to sit in this position."
Biaobian raised his head, only seeing Huaiqing's eyes, but not the lower half of her face, because the annoying few pounds of meat on Huaiqing's chest blocked his vision.
This makes her very discouraged. Not only is this sister more talented than her, she is also in better shape. Except for her father's favor, she has nothing to compare with Huaiqing.
Biaobi is a squeamish girl. She is so bullied by Huaiqing, so she won't go too far.
No way, I can't fight and fight. I lose my status as an emperor in a quarrel. Besides, Huaiqing is a scholar, and his exit is not dirty. She is not her opponent.
The prince gave a "cough" and came out to warm up: "Huaiqing, don't know Lin'an in general, you are your sister."
Huaiqing then let go of mounting and not bullying her sister.
During the meal, the prince casually said: "Have you heard about the Yushufang today?"
The four princes immediately said: "Jie Tablet and Water Transport Yamen?"
The prince nodded and smiled: "We don't need to be beaked about the water transport of the yamen. We have our own decision by the princes and fathers of the court. It is the matter of the monument, which makes people scream."
The four princes nodded: "You eat your food, the people are fat, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are hard to deceive!"
"Good poem!" Huaiqing's eyes lit up, and her beautiful face bloomed with brilliance.
She has always been speechless, but the core contained in this poem makes the emperor's eldest daughter excited, and she likes it more than "When I am drunk, I don't know the sky is in the water, the fragrance is floating in the moon and dusk".
What kind of broken poems, there is no artistic conception at all.
Huaiqing stared at the four princes and asked: "Who made this poem?"
She never pays attention to news in the palace.
The prince replied: "It's Xu Qi'an."
"Good poem!" Two little hands "pop" on the tabletop, loudly praised.
"It's his temper." Huai Qing smiled.
"What is his temper, it seems that you know him well." Mounting habitually lifts the bar.
Huaiqing didn't want to talk to him, but when he saw several princes looking at him, he pondered and said:
"Xu Qi'an is jealous and hateful, and he ignores the big and small, which is different from those high-sounding scholars who only talk about it."
"Did he cut the silver gong with the sword?" His Royal Highness smiled.
"The day before yesterday, I chatted with Wei Gong and talked about this person." Huaiqing glanced at the princes: "Wei Gong said that Xu Qi'an has never been greedy for ink since he took office."
"Then why do you say that he doesn't care about it." Bianbian felt that Huaiqing was slandering her pet dog.
She gave Huaiqing a fierce look.
Princess Huaiqing said: "Xu Qi'an is addicted to Jiaofang Si, does not return at night, and has a close relationship with the oiran of Yingmei Xiaoge."
The smile on Biao Biao's face gradually disappeared, and the amorous peach blossom eyes widened, and said loudly: "You are nonsense."
She took a few mouthfuls of rice in a muffled voice, and felt that the food was not fragrant. She threw her chopsticks and lost her temper and said, "Stop eating."
Get up, lift the skirt, and leave with her close-fitting court lady.
Lin'an was angry and left, but it didn't affect everyone's meals. His Royal Highness was a little embarrassed, smiled and raised his glass to let the banquet go on.
After the banquet, Huaiqing returned to his palace, drank a large bowl of tea, and then meditated in the boudoir.
She was recently promoted to the Qi training stage quietly. That day she went to Wei Yuan to "chat" for this.
Huaiqing's talent is very good, but she has always endured it, not showing the mountains and dews. But as she gets older, she feels that she can appropriately improve her cultivation.
The main reason is that throughout this year, Emperor Yuan Jing didn't mention the marriage of the princesses.
The father and the emperor cultivated immortals, and the mother's queen is even more of the Buddha family. The Emperor Yuan Jing didn't mention it, she didn't bother to take care of the mother's queen all the time. As the queen of the world, she was not enthusiastic about her position and identity.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from the mansion, from Qingzhou." The guard hurried in.
Mansion refers to the Huaiqing Mansion in the imperial city.
The letters from the princesses and princes usually cannot enter the palace and will be sent to their respective houses.
Qingzhou? Princess Huaiqing thought it was Lay Ziyang who wrote to her, nodded and said: "Bring it here."
The guard respectfully handed it over and retired.
Huaiqing opened the envelope and opened the first sentence: When I wrote this letter, I had arrived at the border of Qingzhou
Huaiqing knew it. The letter was written by Xu Qi'an. The letter was very long. It was two pages long. She read it down, and after seeing the corruption case in Yuzhou Caoyun Yamen, Princess Huaiqing looked solemn.
Looking down again, it suddenly became less serious. Because the follow-up content is not the tone of a subordinate reporting to the superior, it is more like a man speaking to the woman he likes
"When you get out of the silt without staining, it is clear and clear but not demon, the middle and outside are straight without vines and branches, the fragrance is far and clear, the pavilion and the pavilion are clean, you can see from a distance but not to play"
Princess Huaiqing murmured and repeated, immersed in the beautiful rhetoric, and a picture of lotus blossoms appeared in her mind.
"It's a pity that Xu Ningyan doesn't read books, it's a pity." After finishing speaking, Princess Huaiqing dumped the envelope and slid out a shriveled lotus petal.
This kid is writing this letter to confide in me his love? Princess Huaiqing was lost in thought.
If my palace delivers the letter to the palace, his ten heads will not be enough to cut.
She folded the envelope and put it in a book she rarely reads.
Then she called the court lady to grind with interest, and wrote down the golden sentence of lotus in the letter~IndoMTL.com~ and hung it in the study.
Looking at this character, Huai Qing slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
"What happened to your highness?"
"I don't know, I have been sullen after coming back from the prince."
"Xu was bullied by the eldest princess, but it's not like it. If you were bullied by the eldest princess, your Royal Highness has already yelled at me now, so I won’t take it seriously."
In the yard, a few court ladies gathered together to talk. Lin'an had just lost their temper. There were only two close court ladies to accompany in the bedroom, and the others didn't dare to touch the mold.
"His Royal Highness, why bother with Princess Huaiqing" persuaded the court lady.
"It's not her!" Biaobiqi said: "It's the dog minion."
The two palace ladies were stunned for a while before they realized who the "dog minion" was referring to, and one of them was beaten by Xu Qi'an.
The ladies of the court looked at each other, with a puzzled expression, and said to their hearts that the dog minions had been away from Beijing for more than half a month.
"Why did he provoke your Highness again?"
"I don't know either." Lin'an looked gloomy, "I just feel uncomfortable."
"???"
At this time, a guard came to the yard and asked to see Princess Lin'an. Seeing that she was the guard at her house, the maid had no choice but to knock on the door:
"His Royal Highness, the guard at the mansion begged to see you, saying that you have a letter from Qingzhou."
A letter from Qingzhou? Lin'an was stunned. Her social circle was very small. Except for the brothers and sisters in the palace, the brothers and sisters of the clan, and the family members of some adults, she occasionally wrote to her, inviting her to participate in the private tea party held in the female boudoir.
But Qingzhou is not included.
"Who sent the letter?" the court lady asked.
"I don't know." The maid outside replied.
The close-fitting maid glanced at Lin'an, and when she saw her nodding, she turned her head and shouted: "Come in."
ps: I ran out to work in the morning, which delayed the update. Brazenly ask for monthly pass.
