The late autumn night in the capital was very cold. Yun Niang was sitting on the cold wooden bench, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.
"Girl, please don't be nervous," Du Jiu put a cup of hot tea in front of Yun Niang, "I'm here today. I just want to ask you why you dropped the window fork today. If you accidentally hurt yourself, What should I do if someone arrives?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Yun Niang didn't dare to drink the steaming cup of tea. She shook her shoulders and even her voice was trembling, "I just came to the capital not long ago, and this is where I was yesterday. I rent a house, please forgive me."
"Since the girl didn't mean it, I can rest assured." Du Jiu glanced around the room. The furnishings in the room were scattered, there was a box in the corner, and there were several kinds of makeup for women on the dressing table, but The arrangement was not neat, which showed that she had really just moved in. "Look, this girl is also a polite person. Why did she close the window in a panic after almost hurting someone today instead of coming down to apologize?"
"I..." Yun Niang pinched the fabric on her knees to wrinkle, "It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, it's just that I don't dare to see Mr. Banxiang."
Du Jiu turned the tea cup in his hand: "Are you talking about Princess Fule who is with my uncle today?"
"So she is actually the princess?" Yun Niang suddenly realized, then smiled, "Yes, she is such a lovable woman, and she is worthy of the title of princess."
Du Jiu saw that the woman who called herself Yun Niang had an aura of prostitution and did not look like a good family member. How could such a woman know Princess Fule? He put down the teacup, stood up and said, "It turns out that the girl is an old friend of Princess Fule. I offended you."
Yun Niang smiled bitterly: "A person like me is not an old friend of the princess. Back then, I eloped with Mr. Xie, causing the princess to lose face. When she caught up with us, she didn't blame me. , instead gave the slave a hundred taels of silver, saying that this man may not be reliable, but the money she gave him was."
Unexpectedly, the princess’s words came true. Shortly after Mr. Xie left the capital with her, he couldn’t bear the hard life outside. One night, he left her a letter and a banknote, and then disappeared without a trace. Without a trace.
He said in the letter that he would pick her up after getting forgiveness from his family. She knew he wouldn't come back, but she still waited for him for two years. This time she returned to the capital, just to ask him, what was she in his heart?
He gave her hope, so why did he abandon her so ruthlessly? Should women like them be abandoned like worn shoes?
"Are you the oiran who eloped with Xie Erlang?" Du Jiu looked at the woman in front of him. She had a body like a willow branch and an appearance like a hibiscus. She was indeed somewhat beautiful, but compared to Princess Fule, she was just a firefly. The difference between Zhihui and moonlight, he didn't quite understand Xie Erlang's vision of appreciating women, or in other words, he didn't quite understand the vision of these scholars.
When she heard the word "Oiran", Yun Niang looked a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded.
"Just clarify the misunderstanding. It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye." Du Jiu and several guards walked out of the house. When Yun Niang got up to close the door, she realized that her feet were very weak, and she clearly had the temperament of the person who came here. He was gentle and polite to her, but she still felt like she was being stared at by a snake.
Maybe...it's because the night is too cold.
"You mean, Ban Hua discovered the day Xie Qilin eloped with the oiran?" Rong Xia played with a jade chess piece in her hand, "There is still such a past."
"My subordinates are looking at it. That Yun Niang is not even half as beautiful as Princess Fule. I really don’t know what Xie Erlang thinks, leaving a beautiful princess to elope with a prostitute without marrying her. What a mess. It's embarrassing for both families, and they even left her on the road." Du Jiu shook her head, "It doesn't look like something a man would do."
"For such a man, it would be a good thing if Banhua didn't marry him." Rong Xia threw the chess pieces into the chess basket and said calmly, "No more."
Seeing that his uncle seemed to be in a bad mood, Du Jiu put away the chess pieces on the chessboard.
On the second day of October, Princess Dening, the most noble princess in the dynasty, celebrated her birthday. At dawn, the palace opened its central gate and poured water on the street, waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests.
As the descendants of the eldest princess, the four members of the Ban family were the first to arrive. As soon as the eldest princess saw her beautifully dressed granddaughter, she couldn't help but feel happy and stretched out her hand to pull her beside her. Sit down and say: "Huahua, don't go busy. The servants have to worry about these things. Just sit down."
"Yes!" Banhua was obedient and stayed beside the eldest princess to eat snacks and drink tea. When guests came, she kept smiling and listened to these people praising her in various ways. Banhua knew very well that even though these ladies and ladies were praising her with smiling faces, they might have said bad things about her behind her back, but she only dared to say it behind her back. In front of her, each of these people was more attentive and attentive than the last one. .
"The princess's bracelet is really nice," the wife of a household official said with a smile, "but most people can't resist the color, but it looks good on the princess."
Banhua glanced at everyone present, and someone quietly pulled his sleeve, as if to cover his arm.
"Don't praise her, it's all because of my incompetent dog spoiling the child," the eldest princess said with a smile, "Any daughter should be raised in a noble family and cannot be wronged."
Some of the noble ladies here who have not yet left the imperial court sneered in their hearts. Aren’t they noble and noble? With the temperament of this princess, how many people would dare to provoke her? But I feel a little envious in my heart. How comfortable would it be if their father was willing to raise them like this?
"Cheng Amber is here!"
The men and women looked outside together and saw a man wearing a blue brocade robe and a jade crown walking in. His appearance attracted the attention of many women.
"Junior Rong Xia pays homage to the eldest princess and wishes her happiness as good as the East Sea and longevity as the Southern Mountains." Rong Xia walked up to the eldest princess and bowed her head to the bottom, "May the princess live as long as the mountains and may her family be in good health."
"Please sit down quickly," the eldest princess smiled and asked Cheng Amber to sit down, "How are you doing lately?"
"Your Highness, I would like to ask, everything is okay with this junior," Cheng Anbo bowed slightly and replied, "Is your Highness okay?"
"Okay, okay," the eldest princess saw that the clothes Rong Xia wore today also had auspicious meanings, and she felt even more happy. This is a careful junior, but... his life is a little bit harder.
She knew a thing or two about the past of the Rong family, but as a member of the royal family, she could only be blind and deaf, and she didn't even have any contact with Cheng Amber. This time he could come to congratulate her on her birthday, and the eldest princess was a little surprised.
Ban Hua sat next to the eldest princess and waved slightly to Rong Xia. Rong Xia noticed her small movement and the corners of her mouth raised a little wider.
The eldest princess noticed the actions of the two juniors, but she just pretended not to notice, and asked the **** beside her to lead Rong Xia to the male guests to sit down. She saw that many young daughters-in-law had not yet left the palace, and she was a little thoughtful. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. People in the world say that a woman who is too good-looking is a disaster. Don't you know that a son who is too good-looking is also a sin?
"His Royal Highness is here!"
After hearing these reports, even the eldest princess stood up from her chair, and the other guests were even more confused. A few days ago, the second prince injured Banhua's arm and was ordered by His Majesty to copy books and was placed in solitary confinement. Now even the Crown Prince came to congratulate her on his birthday. This shows that the eldest princess, the aunt, has a very high status in His Majesty's heart. Otherwise, she would not Won't make it this far.
"I've met my great-aunt." When the prince walked up to the eldest princess, he made a great gift as a junior, "I wish my great-aunt a long spring and a prosperous sun and moon."
"Prince, please get up." The eldest princess stepped forward and reached out to help the prince herself. "We, my family, don't have to be so polite."
"Cousin." Jiang Zhang bowed to Banhua, and Banhua returned a blessing gift to him.
"Before leaving the palace, my father told me many times to be filial to my aunt." The prince raised his hand and asked the **** to bring up the gifts brought from the palace. "These are some of the wishes of my father and mother. Please My aunt must accept it."
"Your Majesty's kindness, I am deeply moved." The eldest princess's eyes were red and her face was moved. She was like the kindest elder. She held the prince's hand and asked how the emperor was doing and how his appetite was. Sample. If someone else asked this, it would be as if they were spying on the emperor, but the eldest princess cared about the emperor and would only make the emperor think that she was good and would not have other ideas.
The prince naturally replied that everything was fine with the emperor, he ate well and slept well, but he was worried about his aunt, the eldest princess. Yunyun showed a royal affection in front of everyone, and after everyone praised him, the prince sat down.
When the male guests saw the prince arriving, they also saluted him one after another. The prince was not a person who liked to put on airs, so he sat down at the head of the table after exempting everyone from the courtesy. Although Ban Huai was not good at riding and shooting, it was still easy to make someone happy. After a while, the prince was so coaxed that he couldn't stop smiling, and he spoke like a cousin in front of everyone.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but sigh. Seeing the prince's close attitude towards the Ban family, after the prince succeeded to the throne, the Ban family would probably be prosperous for decades, so they had better not offend them.
Rong Xia listened to the voices of people around him trying to please the prince, and his eyes passed through the curtains and fell on the female family members opposite.
Today, Banhua was wearing a water-red palace dress, revealing her thin white neck, and her hair was in a lily bun. She looked extremely supple, and Rong Xia always noticed her unconsciously when he raised his head and glanced sideways.
"Jun Po," the prince saw that Rong Xia was silent, so he took the initiative to say, "I have a blank fan. I wonder if there is a chance to get a piece of Jun Po's calligraphy?"
"This is our honor." Rong Xia put down the tea cup and bowed to the prince, "If the prince needs it, he can summon him at any time."
The prince always admired Rong Xia's talent, so he discussed some poetry issues with him. When he was in the mood, suddenly there was a noise from the female family members, and there seemed to be the sound of breaking dishes.
The prince quickly stood up from his chair, summoned a **** and said, "Go and see, what happened over there?"
After a while, the **** came back and said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness, there is nothing serious with the eldest princess, it's just that a female guest accidentally broke the cup."
The prince breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
On the female side, Princess Kangning looked at the tea on her skirt and took a few deep breaths before she could barely suppress her anger.
"Huahua, take Princess Kangning to the backyard to change clothes." The eldest princess smiled lightly, showing her grace and dignity.
