Chapter 58 Princess Dongping
Xue's foundation is good and young, and with the medicine prescribed by Geng Jingzhai, he has been in action as usual only five or six days after returning to the palace. When the wound is completely healed, he will be fine. Yuan Xiu specially gave Geng Jingzhai a lucky bird with Zhi Ziyu Ruyi and two pairs of silver.
However, after Xue recovered some energy, he stared at Yuan Xiu to make up for it. There were all kinds of soups in the Pearl Mirror Hall every day. However, in half a month, Yuan Xiu's slightly sharp chin became plump due to the death of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, and his cheeks also had a rosy color. Xue was satisfied.
This yen show is practicing calligraphy at the window. She lowered her head, her long eyelashes are slightly drooping, and two velvet flowers are pinned on the hanging ring. The pomegranate-shaped jade pendant on her ears shakes slightly with the action. The home-style bead is brocade half of the arm, with a red gold inlaid treasure collar hanging on her chest, wearing a light and narrow-sleeved short sleeves, and below is a blue-yellow intercolored skirt. Although it was narrow sleeves, it still jumped off and pulled it to the elbow, revealing a beautiful wrist that bullied the frost and snow. The blue and green were all dressed in a high-waisted skirt, combing the buns, inserting double hairpins, and palace flowers on the side. One of them studied ink and the other held tea. Xue took a fallen horse bun, and the blue-colored tooth-colored treasure flowers and palace clothes, but he was playing with one by his side. Longbow, Princess Dongping suddenly came and smiled and said, "Looking in from the window, this is a ready-made picture of beauty, which can be directly put into the painting."
"Eight sister?" Yuan Xiu looked up and said hello, but his feet were still still moving. "Wait a minute, I'll finish a few words."
Princess Dongping knew that Xue's identity was special, and Yuanxiu was under her control. She had never finished her daily homework and was not allowed to rest, but she did not feel neglected. Seeing that Xue's bow was coming down to salute her, she smiled and avoided it: "Is Shang Yi preparing a bow for autumn hunting for Jiumei?"
"A family is only halfway right. This bow is for me to hunt a few birds passing by the left of the Pearl Hall to play. Jiu Niang has been severely reduced some time ago. I can't pull it away after two days of recuperation. I'm planning to take her to the arsenal tomorrow to choose a suitable one." Xue asked her to sit down and joked, "I heard that the A family is busy now. I didn't dare to disturb you after I came back. Why did you have time to come here today?"
Princess Dongping's busyness naturally chooses her son-in-law. After listening to Xue's words, she blushed and said andly, "Shang Yi also came to make fun of me!" Xue just smiled, but saw Princess Dongping change into a sad face and sighed, "I'm coming to find Jiumei and Shang Yi for help in this matter!"
Xue was surprised and said, "Jiu Niang is the sister of the A family. It is appropriate to share the worries of the A family, but what can I do for the A family?"
"Sister Eight, I've finished writing. Please wait for me to clean up." Yuanxiu listened carefully. After writing three strokes and two paintings, he quickly picked up the copper basin full of six points of water. Although the water was clear water, there were a few fresh peach blossoms floating on it, with a faint fragrance. Yuan Xiu was very careful. His fingers were not stained with ink, and only slightly swinging in the water and collected them. Lan hurriedly took Jinpa to dry the beads on her hand, and then took the little maid and handed it back the goose yellow background and white hibiscus flowers and silk that were untied by writing. Yuan Xiu then came over and asked, "Are those people not good?"
Princess Dongping's two carefully described moth eyebrows almost frowned together: "How can we know whether people are good or not? It's just relying on the fifth brother and the queen!" The kings and princesses, who were smaller than Fengchun, have always called Wang as their fifth sister-in-law on occasions other than the ceremony to show their closeness, but now Dongping has changed his mouth and called the queen. The people of the Pearl Mirror Hall know who she is annoyed with as soon as they hear it.
"The A family breathed his anger first, but which one chewed his tongue and said what annoyed the A family?" Seeing this, Xue Shi lost a winky look to Yuan Xiu and asked quietly.
"The queen hasn't returned to the palace when she mentioned this for the first time, but she knows about the Zheng family?" Princess Dongping took a sip of purple bamboo shoot tea soup.
Yuan Xiu turned his head and reminded: "Madam, that's Zheng Wei..."
"The queen is the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and she is a rich family in Guanzhong. She does have selfishness in this matter, but in my opinion, since Zheng doesn't want to be a princess anymore, there are many good men in Chang'an City, and Zheng Wei is not the best, so it is just as the queen's wish." Xue said kindly.
Princess Dongping sneered and said, "Shang Yi and Jiumei have not been out in the Pearl Mirror Hall for the past two days, so I don't know? Yesterday, the queen summoned Cui, Wei, Lu, Zhao and other families to the palace. I think the Cui family's Langjun is good, but as soon as she left the Penglai Hall, the queen advised me not to choose him!"
Xue and Yuan Xiu were shocked: "Why is this?"
"The queen said he had an engagement!" Dongping said angrily, "In this case, why didn't you say it when I asked the queen to call him into the palace? Now everyone knows that I said the most to him in the temple yesterday, and now how to be a person!"
"The Cui family? Is it the Cui family of Cui Fengwu? Yuan Xiu asked.
Dongping shook his head: "It's Boling Cui Nanxun!"
"It's him!" Yuan Xiu suddenly realized and clapped his hands and said, "I heard from the eldest sister that he seems to have a marriage contract with the Lu girl!"
"The eldest sister knows it, how can the queen not know? She obviously deliberately harmed me!" Princess Dongping was angry, "But why should I suffer this loss - Jiumei, are you willing to help me?"
Yuan Xiu said carefully, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Shang Yi still needs to be troubled by this matter." Princess Dongping hesitated and looked at Xue Shidao.
Xue smiled and said, "Please tell me!"
"Since Cui Nanxun has a marriage contract, he has to go to the palace to participate in the election of the son-in-law. It shows that this person has a loss in virtue, and I don't want him, but I don't want to say so. I'm afraid that the Lu family will inherit the queen's love, but when I turn around, I think I'm afraid of the queen or their Lu family. I can't afford to lose this face!" Princess Dongping gritted her teeth and said, "So please ask Jiumei and Shangyi for help. Always let them know that Li's daughter is not easy to bully!"
Yuan Xiu frowned: "What the fifth sister-in-law did these two times is strange. In the past, we didn't have many opportunities to get along with her, but she has always been thorough. Why is she confused one after another now?"
Xue asked, "What's the idea of the family?"
"I want to ask Yuanxiu to lend me Shangyi for two days." Princess Dongping did not hide it, "Since Cui Nanxun is a son of a family, he must also be armed with martial arts, and there are always a few servants around him. The guards in the palace are too eye-catching..."
Yuan Xiuqi said, "Does the eighth sister want to beat him up? Why don't you care whether it's eye-catching or not? Just call him into the palace tomorrow and just make him a crime?
"How can there be such a good thing!" Princess Dongping glanced at her, "Aren't many of the noble daughters in Chang'an like to make people look for beautiful young men on the street and take them to other courtyards for a spring breeze?" She snorted coldly, "It is said that such a prodigal son-in-law like the eldest sister's current son-in-law is said to be proud, but I don't know if such a thing happens to Boling Cui and others, will they be equally proud?"
Xue couldn't help laughing: "If the A family likes Cui Nanxun, Mo Ru can ask Jiu Niang to go and beg Golang to issue an order directly... Speaking of which, Cui Fengwu, Princess Changyang's son-in-law, was also regarded as a pair with Zhao Jun's Li Shiniang when he was a child? As a princess, can't the A family even afford a suitable son-in-law?
Dongping said angrily, "I'm not the seventh sister! For Cui Fengwu, he even changed his ordinary habits all the time! Besides, Shang Yi just said that there are many Langjun in Chang'an City, and Cui Nanxun may not be the best!"
Dongping has made up his mind. Yuanxiu and Cui Nanxun didn't know each other. Naturally, he refused to disappoint his sister, just for the reason: "But the aunt's injury is not completely healed."
"I don't have to go now." Seeing that she was willing to lend Xue's help, Dongping was finally relieved and said with a smile, "We have to wait for Shangyi."
After sending Princess Dongping away, Yuanxiu said doubtfully to Xue, "Madam, what's going on with the fifth sister-in-law?"
"I don't think it's right when you said that the queen reminded you not to choose Zheng Langjun as your son-in-law last time. Although she said so, even if you want to see it, you won't mention Zheng again because of the princess's identity and face, but it's not that there is no other way for the queen to ask you not to choose Zheng Jialangjun. Why do you have to use this? How to attract your hatred?" Xue nodded, "Although Princess Dongping did not have the help of her mother, she is still Jinzhi Yuye. What does the queen do to design her marriage?"
"I heard that the fifth sister-in-law's younger brother Wang Zixia is also among the sons-in-law, so that the fifth sister-in-law wants to match the eighth sister and Wang Zixia, right?" Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and guessed.
Xue looked at her: "Speaking of this person, when Empress Dowager Zhaoxian was alive, she deliberately promised you to him. Do you remember how many times she called you and Wang Zixia through various names at that time? But you also know that the former emperor was in charge of your affairs. The former emperor went, but Wulang did not let go, and Empress Dowager Zhaoxian was also in charge, so I just want to see if you have that fate..."
"Prince Xia is the most disrepated!" Yuan Xiu remembered that when he was in Zichen Hall that day, disgust appeared on his face. Xue Shiqi said, "Prince's flaw is not bad. How can he offend you? Oh, he is the imperial historian of the previous dynasty. Could it be that you have been impeached by him for something wrong during this period? That's interesting. What's going on? Come on, let me hear it!"
Yuan Xiu opened her mouth and was about to talk, but suddenly remembered that although Xue Shi spoiled her, she was also a person who distinguished right from wrong. Although she pestered Feng Chun because she was worried about her at that time, if she knew it, she would definitely scold herself and maybe force herself to apologize to Wang Zixia. She said decisively, "Madam, just now As for what my sister said, I know that there is a group of people in Chang'an City, which is more suitable than you to take action in person!"
Xue looked at her with a smile. Seeing that she was guilty, he thought about it and gave her face: "Say it!"
"What I said is Chang'an Tanwanlang!" Yuan Xiu was secretly relieved and said with a smile.
