Chapter 88 Sisterhood
The distinguished guest in Sun Baozhen's mouth is none other than the Dou Meis who had a relationship with Qin Yunuan!
Dou Mei had a pair of big eyes, which seemed to hook people's souls. At this time, it was a banquet to look at Qin Yunuan. Her smile was like an extremely pure jade, uncarved, extremely natural and kind.
Dou Mei is wearing a moon blue brocade skirt. The neatly cut palace ribbon hangs from his chest. On his head is a well-made orchid jade hairpin. Although the hair bun is only two or three pieces of jewelry, it is a boutique. It can be seen that Dou Mei has been doing very well recently, especially when the whereabouts of the third prince is unknown. It's really not easy for the Qin family to live a good life when they are in trouble.
Looking at Dou Mei's attitude towards Sun Baozhen, Qin Yunuan was probably clear, with some obedience and flattery. Although there was no trace, her daughter's family could see it very clearly.
"Cousin Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time." Dou Meishuang enthusiastically took the initiative to say hello to Qin Yunuan.
Qin Yunuan bowed her body and saluted Sun Baozhen before replying, "I'm afraid Miss Dou's memory is wrong. Captain Qin has long expelled Baochuan and me from the Qin family tree. Now, Baochuan and I have both entered the Shangguan family, and I am now from the Ning Palace."
Dou Mei's face stiffened, and Sun Baozhen followed with a smile and said, "The third young lady is Zhou Jin, and she never makes mistakes in her actions. Mei Shuang, you and I should study hard."
Compared with Sun Baozhen in the morning, Sun Sidefei showed her generousness and dignity at this time, and the mistress's demeanor became more and more obvious.
Qin Yunuan sat down, and the maid immediately put on a rose tea, but heard Dou Meis call Sun Baozhen "cousin" during the conversation.
Qin Yunuan raised her eyes and heard Sun Baozhen smile and said, "I'm afraid the third young lady doesn't know yet. Mei Shuang's biological mother is my cousin. In terms, the three of us are all a family."
Actually, I really don't want to be a family with you. Qin Yu warmly slandered, but there was a smile on his face: "Then I don't know if Miss Dou came to the royal palace this time..."
Sun Baozhen sighed and said, "You know that the Qin family is not precarious today, but Fortunately, you have been separated from the Qin family. You don't have to endure the feeling of being monitored by the Qin family. It's just pitiful. Obviously, you have nothing to do with the Qin family, but you have to be held accountable by the sun. Today, she is here. Relying on me, the prince said that it was all up to me. Just now, I also sent someone to ask the old lady what she meant. Everyone agreed and let Meishuang stay for the time being.
Stay for the time being? So you live in Ningwang Mansion?
Sun Baozhen called Qin Yunuan this time, not to ask for advice, but clearly told her that Dou Mei was going to enter the house.
After leaving Xiuru, there was a Dou Meishuang immediately. Sun Baozhen's hands and feet were really fast.
"by the way, it will be the Yellow Flower Festival in two days, and there will be a yellow flower array in the palace. Would you like to see it together?" Sun Baozhen proposed.
The yellow flower array is a game that has only emerged in the past two years. In fact, it is a maze. On the day of the Yellow Flower Festival, the girl who participated in the game wears a yellow silk flower on her head as a mark, and then starts from the entrance of the maze at the same time. Whoever can reach the octagonal pavilion in the center of the maze as soon as possible can get the emperor's reward, because the maze four It is complicated and difficult to walk. It really depends on luck, so the winners are different every year, and it also gives everyone a chance to get rewards. Every festival, everyone is eager to try.
Especially this year, it is said that Princess Yun especially valued this yellow flower array after co-organized the harem. Early this year, she sent craftsmen to build a new larger and more complex maze. It seems that this year's challenge is greater, but the rewards will be more generous.
"I heard," Qin Yunuan was not interested in this yellow flower array, but when she saw Sun Baozhen specifically mention it, she also echoed, "I received the invitation before, so naturally I want to go."
"That's all right. You and I can have a good time." Sun Baozhen laughed and trembled, but Qin Yunuan looked at Dou Mei warily. Why did she ignore her?
Dou Meishuang, who could let the Qin family take her in when the Dou family was about to die, and immediately defected to the Sun family when the Qin family suffered. It seems that this woman's means are not simple.
On the way back, Tingxue has been reporting to Qin Yunuan about the preparation for the marriage. Shang Xianhua originally had a daughter. For this Shang girl, Qin Yunuan only remembered that she was the boudoir who wanted to change the flower bag with Fang Ziying at the Hundred Flowers Festival banquet. In the end, she did not succeed and was replaced by Yun Guifei. He sneered, and finally knelt down and kowtowed before he was barely forgiven.
Although the girl was a little careful, she was probably not bad. Judging from her performance at that time, she was also worried that her father's official position would be affected.
"It's really rare that Miss Shang and Mr. Shang are willing to cover Man'er." After listening to Xue's report about the Shang family, Qin Yunuan said, "At that time, we will prepare a rich dowry for Man'er, which can also earn some face for the Shang family."
"Grandma, there is a letter from Jinling." As soon as she entered the yard, Xi'er sent it with a letter.
Qin Yunuan went straight into the room with a letter. Outside, Xue and Xi'er were watching, and no one would come in.
What a coincidence. The base camp of the Sun family is in Jinling, and Fang Ziying's marriage happens to be married to the little marquis of Jinling. It is very convenient to find out the news. The letter was written by Fang Ziying, a beautiful fly-headed little regular script. The first paragraph is a greeting. It can be seen that Fang Ziying's married life is still quite sweet. Finally, it is for Qin Yu. Warm inquired about the news.
It turned out that when Mrs. Sun gave birth to Sun Baozhen, she was pregnant with twins and a man and a daughter. But in the end, the baby boy died in his life, leaving only one Sun Baozhen. The whole Jinling knew about this matter, so Mrs. Sun loved Sun Baozhen very much and took good care of Sun Baozhen's life and study in Sun Baozhen. Jane didn't let anyone else touch Sun Baozhen's body until she was 12 years old.
"Anyone?" Qin Yunuan thought for a while and drew a circle on the three words "anyone" with a brush.
So, what about Xiuru?
The Yellow Flower Festival soon arrived. Some women and ladies with fame and status in Beijing received posts about entering the palace. Qin Yunuan used to enter the palace with Princess Ning, but now it is with Sun Baozhen. Qin Yunuan originally prepared a carriage alone, but before leaving, Xiuying beside Sun Baozhen came timidly. Please take the same car with Sun Baozhen.
"The side concubine said that she came to Kwai Shui and was not comfortable. She wanted to talk to someone."
When Qin Yunuan entered the carriage, Sun Baozhen was leaning and lying pale on the soft pillow. The carriage was burning with sweet spices, but Qin Yunuan still caught a trace of copper rust from these aromas, which was a smell of dirty blood.
Sun Baozhen owed her body apologetically: "I heard that the third young lady's nose is extremely sensitive, and this smell is so sudden."
Qin Yunuan didn't say anything, just laughed.
"If the third young lady mind, then..."
"I don't mind," Qin Yunuan sat upright and looked at Sun Baozhen meaningfully and said, "I'm just thinking that it's only been two or three days since the side concubine married into the royal palace, but it's really not easy to understand my preferences and characteristics."
"What does the third young lady mean?" Sun Baozhen's tone began to be wronged.
Qin Yunuan looked ahead with an indifferent expression: "Nothing, I just want to say that the osmanthus cake sent by Sun Yifei yesterday tasted excellent, just right to be my favorite taste."
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace and handed over the usual post. Mami led the way. Nowadays, the most powerful person in the palace is Yun Guifei. Today, all the decorations and uses come according to the preferences of Yun Guifei. The garden is full of red plum blossoms. There is a long red carpet in the center of the banquet, and the maids of honor have fruit and delicious food along the red carpet. A plate of dishes is top-quality, and there are small floor incense lamps behind the seats, and the hollow incense burner is specially coated with phosphor powder, so that it is like a galaxy shining at night, extremely bright.
Yuniu's dress is different from the past. She is a little less charming and more dignified, and her tone is much more modest. It seems that she is also taking a step towards the position of queen. Yang Cairen, who has been promoted to be the concubine of Rong, has recently received good news, saying that she is pregnant, and the three brothers in the family have risen one after another, and their future is boundless.
"Yo, the time has also arrived. I think everyone can't wait," Yun Guifei looked at the copper leak beside her. "This year's yellow flower array is much more complicated. Which one is interested in, please go with the silk flowers. The emperor is busy with government affairs today and can't wait in the small pavilion in the middle. If you have a child, you can go to the gazebo first? Which one will first When you get to the pavilion, you can give her the kit.
Sima Ruo, who had been next to Concubine Yun, didn't seem to hear it at all.
"Ruo'er?" Concubine Yun raised her tone and shouted again.
"My son is here." Sima Ruo hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "My minister... If my son knows it, I will go."
"What's urgent?" Yun Guifei's face became a little ugly. "The banquet here is not over yet. The recent emperor gave many Hu dancers in my palace, and today he also asked them to come to cheer up."
The sound of singing and dancing bamboo sounded quickly.
Qin Yunuan looked at Sima Ruo's so distracted appearance and was suspicious, but because Sun Baozhen sat next to him, she couldn't pay much attention to it. The song and dance were going on. Sima Ruo suddenly got up and asked Yun Guifei to say hi, and then hurried out of the garden. Qin Yunuan saw this, and soon she also got up and prepared. Leave.
"Where is the third young lady going?" Sun Baozhen, who had been staring at singing and dancing, soon turned around.
Qin Yunuan stared at Sun Baozhen for a long time before saying slowly, "The Empress Dowager sent someone to send a message, saying that she wanted me to bring something to the old lady, the side concubine, Yu Nuan retreated first."
Looking at Qin Yunuan's back, Sun Baozhen suddenly smiled strangely, and Qin Yunuan could no longer control this. She circled around and quickly found Sima Ruo, who left the table halfway. At this time, he was standing by a wave of blue pool, saying words in his mouth. Qin Yunuan approached and heard some "Child, father, I'm sorry" "You" and so on.
