After Chen Yu went out, she went outside the palace and sent someone to ask Yan Long if she wanted to come out and go with her to the appointment with the pearl girl of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
"Sister-in-law!"
Yan Long happily greeted Chen Yu as soon as she came out. She was accompanied by two little girls who were younger than her. Judging from their appearance and dress, they should also be little princesses.
After Yan Long saw Chen Yun, he looked at the two little girls following her and said, "Sorry, sister-in-law, I brought two younger sisters here without telling you."
"This is the fifteenth sister Rong'er, and this is the seventeenth sister A'ke." Yan Long introduced to Chen Yun.
The fifteenth princess Yan Rong is twelve years old this year, and her biological mother is Yun Jieyu.
Yun Jieyu and Yun Guifei are not from the same family. Yun Jieyu and Yun Guifei are not cousins. It's just that Yun Jieyu is also a relative of Yun Guifei, probably a branch of the side branch of the General Protector's Mansion, and has some relatives.
They are related but not very close by blood.
Yun Jieyu entered the palace because her family background was not bad. After entering the palace, her appearance was not as good as that of Concubine Yun, and her family background was also inferior. But she was a very knowledgeable person, even in Emperor Yun Zhao's harem.
She performed well and was banned from Jieyu.
Although Jieyu's rank is not high, lower than that of the ninth concubine, she still has a prestigious position. Jieyu is much better than a beauty, a prostitute, and the like.
Of course, the reason why Yun Jieyu has this rank is because she gave birth to a daughter, the fifteenth princess.
The seventeenth princess Yan Ke is twelve years old this year and her biological mother is Yang Chongyi.
Among the nine concubines, Chong Yi, who is ranked seventh, is higher than Chong Rong and Chong Yuan. Of course, it is just a ranking. In fact, the grades of the nine concubines are all the second grade.
Jiubin is the second grade, and Jieyu is the third grade. It can be said that the grade of the biological mother of the seventeenth princess is higher than that of the fifteenth princess, but the relationship between the two princesses is still very good.
This is also because although Yun Jieyu and Yun Guifei are not closely related by blood, they still have a good relationship in the harem because of their slight relationship.
Yan Long has no sisters from the same mother, so he has a good relationship with Yan Rong, the fifteenth princess born to Yun Jieyu, and then has a good relationship with Yan Ke.
Yan Rong and Yan Ke are both twelve-year-old girls. At this age, they were considered young adults in ancient times. Some families may have started to let their children watch each other.
After Yan Long introduced her, Yan Rong and Yan Ke politely saluted Chen Yu and said, "Rong'er/A Ke has met Sister-in-law Jiu."
Chen Yun nodded, looked at the two little girls and said, "Have you and Long'er come out and spoken to your mother and concubine?"
You must know that these two are not the children of Concubine Yun Gui. They are also the lifeblood of my mother-in-law. If you follow her out of the palace without saying hello, what if the people in the palace go crazy?
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Jiu, we have already told our mother-in-law that she wants us to go out and play together." Yan Rong said with a smile.
Compared to the quieter Yan Ke, Yan Rong has a more cheerful personality, and is more cheerful and lively than her sister Yan Long. She is very warm when talking to Chen Yu.
Chen Xun took her three younger sisters with her to Taoyuan. She asked her three younger sisters about their homework, and then chatted while looking at the scenery outside.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Taoyuan.
"Long'er~" Xue Mingzhu, who was standing not far from the entrance of Taoyuan, saw Chen Yu's carriage and waved and shouted excitedly after Yan Long and the others got off the carriage.
"Pearl!" Yan Long also smiled when he saw the other party.
Since they met at Zhuangzi last time, Xue Mingzhu and Yan Long have been in constant contact. They write letters and chat from time to time, and invite each other to hang out from time to time.
Two unmarried girls of the same age get along very well with each other. Even though they have some differences in personality, their views are very similar and they almost become best friends when they get along.
Chen Yun doesn't have anything to envy. She doesn't really care if she has a best friend, and she doesn't envy others if they have one. She usually likes to be alone, and it's fine to be alone no matter what she does.
"Long'er." Xue Mingzhu came up happily. After chatting with Yan Long, she looked at Chen Xun and the two little princesses, smiled and saluted, "Xue Mingzhu has met Princess Ning and met the two princesses."
Chen Xun nodded, glanced at Xue Ping who was not far away, and said sternly, "Are you brothers and sisters the only ones coming out today? Mingzhu, you didn't call any other little sisters?"
"Yes." Xue Mingzhu said with a smile, "I will introduce my little sisters to the princess and Long'er later. They really want to meet the princess and Long'er."
Everyone chatted at the entrance of Taoyuan for a while and then went in. The ten miles of peach blossoms in Taoyuan are really ten miles. Chen Xun converted in her mind and found that one mile is equal to 500 meters, which means there are 5,000 meters in ten miles.
The entire Taoyuan is about 25 million square meters in size, which works out to more than 30,000 and nearly 40,000 acres of land. Of course, this size is the area where peach trees are planted, and does not include the surrounding buildings.
There are many kinds of peach trees in the peach orchard. In addition to the peach trees that bear fruit, there are also peach trees that only bloom. The peach blossoms that are gradually blooming now dye the peach orchard red.
In addition to pink, peach blossoms also include rose red, pink-white, white, red, dark red, etc. There are many colors of peach blossoms in this peach orchard.
"I really admire Prime Minister Ji. He asked Emperor Jiafeng to build such a peach garden when he passed the Three Yuan Dynasty. It's really amazing."
"But I heard that Prime Minister Ji built Taoyuan with his own money, and Prime Minister Ji paid for the tens of thousands of acres of land."
"Is Prime Minister Ji so rich? Didn't I hear that Prime Minister Ji is from a poor family?"
"Prime Minister Ji is indeed from a poor family, but he is good at making money. Although he is not in business, he has made a lot of money by providing ideas for others to do business, so he has the money to buy so much land."
"Of course part of the money was provided by Emperor Jiafeng, so it was possible to buy such a large place outside Chang'an City."
Chang'an City has been the capital of all dynasties, and every inch of land here is at a premium. Nearly 40,000 acres of land is a lot of money even outside the city.
That Prime Minister Ji was able to spend so much money, which is also impressive.
"I heard that Prime Minister Ji was as handsome as a banished immortal. Originally, Emperor Jiafeng wanted to pick him as the top pick, but his articles were so excellent that Emperor Jiafeng reluctantly named him the top pick."
The rumored Sanyuan and No. 1 scholar, Prime Minister Ji, who was a highly respected minister and became the prime minister, was very handsome and could be said to be the most handsome man.
I heard that the student surnamed Ji caused a sensation before he came to Beijing. When he was in his hometown, he was almost robbed by a girl from a wealthy family. Later, he escaped and was almost kidnapped on the way to the palace to take the exam.
Is this for? Of course it’s because the student surnamed Ji is so handsome that the girls want to take him home as their husband.
Later, when the student surnamed Ji came to Beijing and passed the Huiyuan exam, he was almost kidnapped as his son-in-law. If not for the fact that Ji Huiyuan was both civil and military, he might have been robbed.
Later, Ji Huiyuan became the number one scholar in Ji Dynasty, and was granted marriage by Emperor Jiafeng to marry Emperor Jiafeng's sister.
When Chen Yun listened to the story of the legendary Prime Minister Ji, she couldn't help but wonder, what does this kind of handsome man who has attracted countless girls to compete for his bride look like?
You must know that both she and Yan Lizhou are good-looking, but they have not caused others to rob them of their marriage. How good-looking is Prime Minister Ji? To what extent would such a thing happen?
Chen Yun wondered if it was because Prime Minister Ji had traveled through time and had some charming aura about him that made him behave like this? Otherwise, could his appearance alone cause such a big sensation?
I heard that Prime Minister Ji still married a princess, and the princess was the kind of person with super strong martial arts who could defeat anyone in Chang'an.
Therefore, no one dares to rob Ji Zhuangyuan after marrying the princess. Who can defeat the princess and rob her?
