The royal family had a palace on Luming Mountain for the emperor and his nobles to live.
King Pingyang loved his daughter so much that he specially built a princess courtyard for Shang Jinyan on the bank of Luming Lake and named it "Fanghua Waterside Pavilion".
It is called a separate courtyard, but it is actually built above the water. The lower pillars extend into the water and are supported by stone beams. It is in the shape of a backbone, with pavilions, elegant gardens, cloisters and pavilions. There are floor-to-ceiling doors and windows in all directions, and the roof is in the style of a mountain top.
, the four corners of the eaves are raised, the pillars are decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, and there are railings on the outside.
Entering from the main entrance, you can see the relief sculpture of Phoenix Nirvana, which is lifelike and eye-catching. White gauze is flying everywhere in the wind, and wisps of sandalwood are floating into the sky.
There are many flowers in the waterside pavilion, and they can be grown so well in this season. I think people have put a lot of thought into them.
"Young prince, eldest young master, lunch has been prepared." Qingluo, who was beside Yan Huiran, had been waiting outside the middle door. When she saw the two of them appearing, she immediately moved lightly and nodded.
Su Zhen thought about Yu Ziye's woodworm and instantly lost her appetite. But now that she was out of town, let alone in the princess's courtyard, how could she refute other people's face?
"Sister Qingluo, please lead the way."
"yes."
Qing Luo looked back and was about to ask about the whereabouts of Miss Yu's family, but she saw Su Zhen shaking her head and stopped talking.
Not long after they entered, Yu Qingwan also arrived, and Yuzhen led her in from the right.
Although the two parties were far apart during the banquet, separated by a gauze bead curtain, Yu Qingwan's eyes still drifted to where Su Zhen was from time to time.
"Mrs. Yu, this is a snack specially given to Miss Su by the princess." Yuzhen came up from above and saluted.
The ladies at the other tables immediately cast envious glances, and Mrs. Shangshu felt happy. Although it was just a snack, it was a share that no one else had, and she hurriedly pulled Yu Qing to get up at night to thank her.
"Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Shangshu said with a smile.
Although Yuzhen was a eldest maid, her status in the mansion was not low. The ladies' attitude toward her could not be called respectful, but no one looked down upon her.
Shang Jinyan is sitting in the upper position, his eyes are not angry but powerful, and his nobility is compelling. With his left hand, he holds his right sleeve backwards, with his fingers as white as jade and as slender as green onions. His right hand reaches to the table to pick up the tea cup. The tea is clear in color.
The smell is mellow, put it to your lips and sip gently.
"Miss Yu Huimin knows etiquette and is deeply loved by the young prince. I naturally love the house and the bird. By the way, I heard that the prince will take the scientific examination in two years. If he is lucky enough to be chosen by the emperor, he will become an official in the court.
, it will definitely be a blessing to my dynasty."
Yan Huiran knew what she was thinking and echoed, "The princess has always had good taste. If this is true, Lord Yu and Madam are really lucky."
Mrs. Shangshu's face froze with joy and said, "With the auspicious words of the princess and Mrs. Su, I will supervise Changqing when I return, so that I can serve the imperial court in the future."
"It should be done appropriately. Don't work too hard and make yourself tired."
"Yes, thank you Princess for your concern."
Su Zhen watched from the opposite side and laughed dumbly. This princess was really interesting, acting both soft and hard. It must have been that Mrs. Shangshu had inadvertently revealed her thoughts before, which aroused Shang Jinyan's alert.
She wanted her daughter to hang out with Yu Ziye and cultivate the love between her childhood sweethearts, but for fear of changes in the future draft, she had left a way out at this time. But now she must have given up her thoughts for her son's future. This chapter has been completed!
