Si Haochen took a deep breath: "Put down the post."
"Your Majesty...now..."
"Go to the palace to make arrangements to ensure the safety of the princess." Si Haochen pinched his eyebrows.
"Yes." Bai Shen exited the study and saw the princess's two maids helping the princess push the swing.
Mingruo held the rope of the swing: "No need to push, you can rest for a while."
"Princess, I'm not tired, slave." Zi Su still pushed the swing, but with less force than before.
"Slave, please go get some watermelon juice for your Majesty."
"Go ahead, get some more, and let's drink together." Mingruo waved his hand.
"Hey." Zicao smiled and ran to the kitchen.
The breeze blew through the tall plum tree, and two slightly yellow leaves fell down.
Mingruo stretched out her hand to catch it, picked up a leaf, and faced the sun. The light shone through the leaves, and the thin veins of the leaves were revealed: "When you see a leaf falling, you know that the year is approaching."
The swing started to swing slowly again, Mingruo said with a smile: "There's really no need to push it, just rest."
The swing was still moving, but no one responded. Mingruo turned her head and saw Si Haochen standing behind her, one hand stretched forward to keep pushing forward, and the other hand behind her.
"Your Majesty..." Mingruo was so shocked that he could fit an egg into his mouth.
"My surname is not Wang..." Si Haochen clenched his hands behind his back slightly. Is he that scary?
"I know..." Mingruo reacted, was Si Haochen joking? It's not funny at all, right?
"The day after tomorrow is the concubine's birthday." Si Haochen pushed again.
"Oh, do you need me to do anything?" Could it be that you want her to throw a birthday party for the concubine? This kind of thing shouldn't be her turn, right? After all, cousin Bichi is here.
"The concubine announces that you are coming to the palace for dinner." Si Haochen kept swinging on the swing.
"Can I not go?" Mingruo's heart twitched, this was definitely a banquet without a good banquet.
Let her enter the palace, what a joke!
During these days in the palace, she finally understood that the emperor and Si Haochen, on the surface, were brothers and disrespectful brothers. Every time Eunuch Zhang was beaten to death, it was equivalent to stepping on the emperor's face and rubbing it on the ground.
The emperor had nothing to do with Si Haochen. What if he took it out on himself?
Ming Ruo didn't believe that Concubine Shen would protect her. If she wanted her best, she would not have summoned herself to the palace when Si Haochen could not.
"No." If the concubine didn't specially summon her, she could just send someone to send some birthday gifts to get through. Since the concubine has officially summoned her, as her daughter-in-law, she has no choice but to go. "Mother Dong will accompany you, don't worry."
"..." Mingruo really wants to scold him. No matter how tough Aunt Dong is, she is just a nanny. If the master in the palace makes things difficult for her, what can she do?
I can see it written on Ming Ruo's face - no matter what you say, I can't rest assured. Si Haochen sighed: "Send two more secret guards to follow you."
"Oh." In fact, the more Si Haochen pressed on, the more panicked she became.
"When you come back, you can ask for reward from me." Si Haochen decided to use the old method - inducement.
"Your Majesty..."
"Huh?" Si Haochen held the rope of the swing and made it stop.
"Has my dowry lady asked for it back from the dowager?"
"Ahem..." Not only those from the concubine are coming back, but also those from the Shen family are now gathering ashes in their own private treasury. However, we cannot say, "Not yet..."
"In this case, I guess I can come back...and have a chance to get a reward from the prince." Mingruo shrugged.
"..." Si Haochen suddenly felt that he might have tricked her this time.
"Princess, Your Majesty." Zicao brought watermelon juice over.
"Your Majesty, do you want some watermelon juice?" Mingruo picked up a glass and put it to her mouth without waiting for Si Haochen's response. Si Haochen didn't seem to like drinking juice, so she was just being polite.
"Okay." Si Haochen took the watermelon juice from Mingruo's hand and took a sip.
"..." Even if you want to drink, there are still so many on the tray, so there is no need to take food from others, right?
Si Haochen saw Mingruo staring at him and thought she wanted him to give an evaluation: "Not bad."
"Then please drink more, Your Majesty." If you communicate with someone whose brain circuits are not on the same line, you will really be pissed off to death.
It was the birthday of Concubine Shen in a blink of an eye. Ming Ruo didn't expect to go to the palace for lunch and had to get up early in the morning to dress up.
As soon as Mingruo came out of the quilt, she was bathed, put on makeup, and dressed by Zi Su and Lithospermum...
Although it has already entered autumn, there are seven layers of Princess Yun's court clothes on her body, layer after layer... Although it is not hot, it is very heavy.
"Can I wear two less pieces because I can't see it inside anyway?" Mingruo discussed with Zisu.
"This is impossible." Aunt Dong came in from outside, holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge in her hand.
"Is this porridge for me?" Mingruo looked at the bird's nest porridge and swallowed.
"Drink some porridge to cushion your stomach." Aunt Dong handed the porridge to Mingruo.
"Thank you, Mammy." She hadn't eaten breakfast yet and was really hungry. Naturally, it was impossible to fill up a small bowl of porridge. "Mammy, bring me two more snacks."
"Okay." Mother Dong quickly brought two pieces of snacks on a plate, one osmanthus cake and one mung bean cake.
Aunt Dong came out of the palace and made exquisite snacks. Each bite was exaggerated. Mingruo felt that she could eat three pieces in one bite.
Seeing Mingruo's expression, Aunt Dong quickly explained that there were many rules in the palace, and it was not very convenient to change clothes or relieve herself.
"..." Okay, Mingruo picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth. She could only eat it and cherish it.
After Mingruo dressed up, Aunt Dong asked her to go see the prince first. Mingruo walked slowly to the study, looking very elegant. But the fact was that the princess's court clothes and jewelry weighed more than twenty kilograms. It's impossible to go faster.
Si Haochen was a little dazed when he saw Mingruo.
He had never seen Mingruo dressed up. The waist-cut palace dress was embroidered with five-color bluebirds, and the cufflinks, collar, and skirt were all embroidered with python patterns with gold thread. On the waistband of Xiujin Peony, hung a pair of The gleaming white jade Ruyi Pendant. The rouge-colored dress makes her skin as bright as cream, her eyebrows as far away as dark blue, and her pair of big watery eyes are even more radiant.
Mingruo didn't have breakfast today, so Si Haochen asked Aunt Dong to put the breakfast in the study room. Suddenly, he found that he had no appetite for eating alone, and there were a lot of various snacks left.
Si Haochen saw Mingruo staring at the pine nut cake on the table: "Do you want to eat it?"
Mingruo's eyes were full of accusations - I really want to eat it, but... I can't eat it!
Si Haochen picked up the pine nut cake and put it to Mingruo's lips: "Eat it."
Mingruo thought silently in his heart, of all things in the world, only food and beauty cannot be let down.
What? Should it be ‘Food and Love’? What is love? Is it round or flat? Is it strawberry flavor? Is it crunchy?
‘Aww’… Mmm… It’s so delicious! This pine nut cake is salty, with nuts added, and it’s crispy and fragrant.
