Chapter 1267 Garden (End)
This independent courtyard where Princess Yongfu lives is located in the core area of the entire house, including bedrooms, quiet rooms, living rooms, warm pavilions, kitchens, etc., and even a bath and a training room. Princess Yongfu likes to practice yoga, and the training room is specially designed for her. A huge mirror is specially inlaid on the wall, which is similar to a modern dance studio.
This design that was common in later generations was avant-garde in the Ming Dynasty, and even Jiajing was stunned. The girl Yongchun even screamed. However, Princess Yongfu spat on her cheeks and her heart was beating.
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Jiang had never seen Princess Yongfu when she was practicing yoga, otherwise she would have ordered someone to smash the mirror on the wall on the spot and then punish our Prince Beijing for being a "shameless" crime.
"This is the first time the Ai family has seen such a large glass mirror. How much money is it worth?" Empress Dowager Jiang sighed sincerely.
The old eunuch Hu Dahai smiled and said, "It costs fifty taels of silver for a full-body glass mirror on the market, and the mirrors on these two walls should cost thousands of silver."
Empress Dowager Jiang shook her head when she heard this and said in pain: "That's too wasteful."
Xu Jin and Jiajing smiled at each other. These two brothers are the bosses behind Mingjingzhai. Naturally, they all know the real cost of glass mirrors. At the beginning, the coating on the back of the mirror had to use silver, so the cost was expensive. However, after several years of technical research, the coating no longer needed silver, and the cost decreased by 80%. However, the selling price on the market has only dropped by 20%, and the profit margin has increased greatly. Boss Xu and Boss Zhu have made a lot of money. Recently, they are planning to lower the price and dump the low prices on foreigners, occupying the Southeast Asian countries and European markets.
After visiting the practice room, the group went to the quiet room to visit. As the name suggests, the quiet room is naturally a place for quiet cultivation, and worships the Three Pure Land Daozu and the like.
The true intention of Jiajing and Empress Dowager Jiang was not to let Yongfu become a monk and practice, so he took a few glances in the quiet room and came out. At this point, he had all visited it.
After everyone came out of the yard, Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes fell on Princess Yongfu's face and asked softly: "Yongfu, are you still satisfied with this dust-proof residence?"
Yongfu nodded gently and said, "The child is very satisfied, but Prince Beijing has troubled him."
Xu Jin hurriedly said, "This is what I should do, as long as His Highness Yongfu is satisfied."
Yongfu smiled and said, "Yongfu is no longer the princess of the Ming Dynasty. Prince Beijing doesn't have to call him Your Highness, just call me Yongfu, or Xiuning."
Xu Jin was slightly stunned, but he would soon feel sorry for him. Princess Yongfu was covering up her and confirmed that she had only learned about her boudoir name today so that anyone would use it to write again. So she said cleverly: "The prince will call Your Highness the Prince Yongfu in the future!"
"It's OK!" Yongfu pointed his head, and his beautiful eyes and Xu Jin quickly moved away with each other.
Jiajing's eyes rolled and said, "Xu Qing, I have ordered the Imperial Heavenly Prison to choose an auspicious day. On the second day of the winter month, it is advisable to move and make landfall. Yongfu will move in and live there. As the saying goes, good people will do it to the end and send it to Buddha... Cough cough, in short, I will leave it to you about Yongfu's moving. Don't think that Yongfu has now cut off the title of the princess, but he is still my only sister. I dare not let her suffer any grievances, otherwise I will only ask!"
Xu Jin secretly knelt and said, "I dare not!"
At this time, Princess Yongfu's pretty face unknowingly filled with red clouds, and she silently lowered her head. This scene happened to fall in the eyes of Queen Wu and Bi Chun. The two of them had just come from the Huxin Pavilion to meet.
At this time, Empress Dowager Jiang said again: "Easy Chenju is only separated from the Beijing Palace by the Prince Beijing. Prince Beijing usually remembers to take care of it, so don't let the thieves break into Yongfu, it's best to let Xiaowan and the others walk around the palace more."
"My dear, please don't worry, the Empress Dowager." Xu Jin agreed respectfully, but in his heart he felt that Jiajing and Empress Dowager Jiang were a little strange.
I heard Empress Dowager Jiang say again: "I have arrived at the gate of the mansion. The Ai family should have been in your mansion for a while, but it is almost noon now, so it is troublesome to arrange it. Today's time is not suitable, so the Ai family will not go in. Let Xiaowan and the others come to the palace to talk to each other."
Xu Jin nodded quickly and said yes!
Next, the group returned to the front along the original road and left the gate of the dust-retard residence. Empress Dowager Jiang and Jiajing and others boarded the carriage one after another. Princess Yongfu subconsciously looked back before getting on the carriage. Seeing Xu Jin looking at him, her pretty face couldn't help but feel a little hot, and she pointed in a hint.
Xu Jin nodded in response with a smile, watching Princess Yongfu enter the carriage with a graceful back. At this time, he suddenly felt a hint of coldness coming from behind his head. He turned his head and saw the curtains of another carriage lifted up. The person in the carriage stared at her expressionlessly - Queen Wu!
Xu Jin felt a sudden blow. At this time, Queen Wu had already put down the curtains. The groom who was driving the cart waved his whip and the cart started to move forward.
Xu Jin's sword eyebrows couldn't help but frown. He was not in the way of dealing with Empress Wu, and today she lost face in front of everyone. This woman probably hated her even more. When Zhier entered the palace, she was afraid that life would not be better.
However, Xu Jin was not very worried. For Jiajing's sake, as long as Queen Wu did not provoke him on his own initiative, she would be quite peaceful. If Queen Wu was ungrateful, don't blame him for being rude, and the queen would still be dismissed for you!
After Queen Wu returned to Kunning Palace, she immediately called Bi Chun in front of her and said excitedly: "You saw him when she left just now. Xu Jin and Yongfu used their eyes to secretly communicate with each other, so there is definitely a problem between them. Hurry up and find someone to keep a close eye on them. As long as he grasps the evidence, no matter how powerful Xu Jin is, he will not turn over."
Bi Chun laughed and said, "I saw it too. The two of them had no chance of having sex, so I don't have to worry about not being able to catch the evidence. After Princess Yongfu moved into the Eagle House, the palace would definitely send some palace servants to serve him. It just so happened that the old slave had some friendship with the eunuch in the inner palace supervisor, and personnel allocation was the affairs supervised by the inner palace, so it was not difficult to put one or two eyeliners in."
Empress Wu happily said, "It's so good, hurry up and do it. If things are done, I will have a lot of rewards!"
Bi Chun smiled and said in a silence: "No hurry. After two days, I will find an excuse to invite an old friend from the Inner Palace Prison to drink and gather together, and then I will get things done."
Queen Wu was smart this time and nodded, "How much money is needed?"
"This... the inner palace prison is a fat man, so the money is less. I am afraid that he will look down on you!" Bi Chun said with a smile.
"How many?" Queen Wu said impatiently.
Bi Chun hesitated for a moment and raised five fingers, but Queen Wu said without blinking: "Five thousand taels, no problem!"
