However, Sheng Shaoqing always kept a distance from this very elegant art, because every time she heard the melodious sound of the piano, she couldn't help but fall asleep. Whenever she wanted to improve her artistic taste, she forced herself to appreciate it.
When she listened to these piano sounds that were regarded as the sounds of nature, the reality gave her an extremely loud snoring sound, so she simply stopped trying because it would be embarrassing anyway.
On the surface, it looked like the guests and hosts were having a great time. After the banquet, Wang Mi's face gradually became serious as soon as he stepped out of the Qingren Hall.
The person Sheng Shaoqing arranged to take them for a "tour" followed Wang Mi to the embassy.
Wang Mi gritted his teeth and could only follow the "tour guides" out of the embassy without stopping, and visited Bianjing "wholeheartedly".
From lunch to curfew time, Wang Mi followed Yuan Wai Lang from the Ministry of Rites from the east to the west of the city, and then from the south to the north of the city.
The foreigner asked Wang Mi very thoughtfully, "Master Wang, what do you think of the customs in Bianjing? How are they different from those in Jiankang City?"
"Oh, back then I was also sent to Nanjing as an envoy and enjoyed the Jiankang scenery. At that time, I was still Xiao..."
Yuan Wai Lang smiled awkwardly and swallowed back the words "The Kingdom of the Xiao Family".
Sheng Shaoqing looked at the green and red complexion on Wang Mi's handsome face and laughed for half an hour in Yongguang Palace. She knew that it would be absolutely fine for Liu Yuanwailang, a gossip and a man who couldn't control his mouth, to go on this errand.
.
"I wonder why the Queen Mother is so happy now?"
Aning and Forsythia both heard Sheng Shaoqing's laughter in the outer hall and asked in unison.
Cui Yun poked An Ning and Forsythia's heads gently in the back, "Have you done all the work at hand, are you talking too much here?"
Forsythia covered the spot on her head where Cui Yun had poked her, turned around and said to Cui Yun with a smile, "Ms. Cui, there is no work to do these days. After arranging for Princess Linyang to enter the palace tomorrow, we can have a good rest."
Holy shit."
Cui Yun wanted to poke Forsythia's head, but Forsythia dodged Cui Yun's one-finger gesture and said aggrievedly, "It's obvious, and I told the Queen Mother a few days ago to ask the Queen Mother to give you more
Take good care of yourself during the holiday. Look at the black spots under your eyes, they are almost as big as the big blue bricks on the eaves."
"Ha?!" Cui Jun clasped his hands behind his back and said with a fake look on his face, "Now you not only dare to talk about the Queen Mother behind her back, but you also dare to be my master, right?!"
Seeing this, Aning was afraid that the situation would become more difficult to deal with, so he hurriedly intervened: "Ms. Cui, please don't be angry. Forsythia's words are not serious, but her heart is indeed not bad. She also sincerely cares about you and the Queen Mother, but I want to tell you
Make sure she won’t do it again next time!”
With that said, Aning stretched out three fingers to swear an oath, and her eyes signaled Forsythia to quickly surrender to Cui Yun.
Forsythia was also very angry and refused to admit her mistake, "I wonder where I made a mistake, my servant? Please let Ms. Cui make it clear."
"My maids are so kind, but they are all treated like donkeys. A few days ago, the Queen Mother wanted to reward me. I refused and only asked for a favor from the Queen Mother. I asked the Queen Mother to let Ms. Cui rest more in the future. There are many things in the palace.
Aning, Cui, me and I, please tell Forsythia what on earth did Forsythia do wrong?!"
The more Forsythia talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she was so anxious that she wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Cui Yun sighed, glanced at Forsythia with a complicated expression, and after a long silence, he said, "I was wrong."
She also didn't expect that she would rarely joke with Forsythia and end up like this.
After hearing this, Forsythia wiped away her tears and felt that she had gone too far. She apologized for a long time, then turned around and went into the palace to report tomorrow's arrangements to the Queen Mother.
Aning reminded her from behind, "Forsythia, your eyes!"
Forsythia thought for a moment, then went to break off a hanging piece of ice from the eaves outside the courtyard, wrapped it in a handkerchief and applied it to her eyes. After a while, she asked Aning, "Is this done?"
Aning looked at Forsythia's eyes for a long time and then said, "Well, you can't tell without looking carefully. There seems to be some bloodshot eyes."
Forsythia smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is probably going to have a rest now. The candles in the palace are not bright, so she can't be seen."
After Forsythia left, Aning walked up to Cui Yun who was silent and said, "Miss Cui, don't blame her, she has a bad temper..."
"Aning, are my dark circles really serious?"
Cui Yun's words made Aning stunned on the spot.
"No...ah...if you look carefully, it's a bit heavy..."
After saying that, Cui Yun turned around and left, leaving Aning alone in a daze. What was he just now?
Is it just a dream?
On the second day, Sheng Shaoqing watched Cui Yun and Forsythia follow her to the banquet without saying a word, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
She felt something was wrong when Forsythia came in last night to report. The always lively Forsythia actually reported the matter in a concise and concise manner yesterday, and then floated out like a gust of wind, as if she didn't want her to see anything.
Sheng Shaoqing suppressed the curiosity in his heart and walked into the Peace Palace.
Princess Lin Yang specifically mentioned Anning Palace in her post, so Sheng Shaoqing followed suit and arranged the banquet in Anning Palace.
The princesses have been educated in the Peace Palace since they were born, and before they left the palace, the late emperor only had Yuan Che, so the Peace Palace has been vacant for a long time, and if nothing else happens, it will remain vacant for a long time in the future.
"Princess Linyang is here!"
Princess Lin Yang walked into Anning Palace and saw Sheng Shaoqing already standing at the patio. She hurried over to salute and said with a smile, "It's Lin Yang's fault. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Sheng Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "No problem, it's still early for the appointment. It's also the first time for the Ai family to come to Anning Palace, so I want to come in advance to see how the place where the princesses used to live is different from the Yongguang Palace of the Ai family."
Princess Lin Yang's heart moved and she said with a smile, "What a coincidence. Lin Yang thought so too, so he came a moment early to see if there were any changes in Anning Palace over the years."
Princess Lin Yang sighed, "Speaking of which, Lin Yang hasn't set foot here for five or six years."
The female historian behind Princess Lin Yang also smiled and added, "The two masters just want to be together, and they are both much earlier than the agreed time."
Sheng Shaoqing and Princess Lin Yang looked at each other and smiled, "How about the Ai family and the princess have a good understanding."
Sheng Shaoqing felt that except for Princess Lin Yang's love-mindedness, she handled other matters very meticulously and securely. Sheng Shaoqing visited the private treasury last time and saw with her own eyes the amount of silver paid in the imperial village, so she expressed her disapproval of Princess Lin Yang's behavior in the imperial palace.
Zhuang is very satisfied with the results of his work.
How can a good person act stupid when he falls in love?
Since Princess Linyang's affection for Sheng Shaoqing was tampered with by the system, she has come to appreciate her more and more that although she is younger than herself, she is the Queen Mother of her sister-in-law.
The Queen Mother is much more interesting than her two sisters.
"If sister-in-law is interested, why not let Lin Yang take her to visit the Peace Palace?"
Sheng Shaoqing nodded and said, "The Ai family has this intention."
Anyway, the food hasn’t been cooked yet, so it’s better to go shopping around. After Princess Lin Yang took Sheng Shaoqing around two corridors, she suddenly shouted excitedly, “Sister-in-law, look at that——”
Sheng Shaoqing looked in the direction pointed by Princess Lin Yang. There was a small swing frame under the red wall. A gust of wind blew by, and the faded swing chair swayed in the wind.
"This is the swing that the imperial brother and a group of young eunuchs built for Lin Yang when he was ten years old. At that time, both Song Yang and Ji Yang fought with me over this swing and almost had a fight.
!”
"Later, the imperial brother was so entangled that he stabbed one more for each of them." Princess Lin Yang paused, "Of course Lin Yang didn't want to, so he asked someone to dismantle the other two swings at night.
"
Sheng Shaoqing couldn't help but burst into laughter. Princess Lin Yang was too domineering when she was a child!
Princess Lin Yang also blushed for a while, and defended herself, "Then the emperor said it was a birthday gift for me, how could he be the last person to have one?!"
"Then when the other two princesses woke up and the swing was gone, wouldn't they come to you to ask for the swing?!"
Princess Lin Yang smiled proudly and said, "Lin Yang will not fall into trouble when doing things. Even now, sister Jiyang still thinks that sister Songyang dismantled her swing."
"Then Princess Songyang won't think it was Princess Jiyang who demolished it, right?"
Princess Lin Yang did not answer, but Sheng Shaoqing already understood what she meant.
"High! It's really high! How did you do it?"
Princess Lin Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "Keep it secret."
Hey!
"Queen Mother, the banquet has been prepared. Please come to the banquet with the princess."
Being interrupted by Aning's introduction, Princess Linyang could only end her nostalgia in a hurry and followed Sheng Shaoqing to the side hall.
"If the princess didn't stay enough, why not have dinner in the palace too?"
Princess Lin Yang shook her head and said with a melancholy smile, "Actually, there is nothing to miss. Everything in Anning Palace remains the same as before. It's just that times have changed and people have changed."
"Lin Yang has an appointment with someone this afternoon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with the Queen Mother."
Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's puzzled look, Princess Lin Yang hurriedly explained, "Ji Baochuan's husband has been found. He will come to Beijing today. I already connected Ji Baochuan to the princess's mansion yesterday. However, as soon as Ji Baochuan heard that her husband had been found, she couldn't wait.
, Lin Yang had no choice but to arrange to meet today."
Only then did Sheng Shaoqing realize that Princess Lin Yang had misunderstood her displeasure, and explained, "It doesn't matter, you can go and do your own business if you have something to do."
Princess Lin Yang looked angry at this moment, "If I hadn't promised Ji in the past, I wouldn't bother to take care of this matter!"
"ah?"
"Your Majesty, don't you know that Ji Baochuan's husband was separated during the battle, and after escaping into the Helian tribe, he used some means to marry the daughter of the tribe's Khan, and is now a distinguished Privy Councilor!"
Emmm, Sheng Shaoqing wants to say that she already knew this result?
"I'm so pitiful about Ji Baochuan. He has been waiting so hard for news about her husband and hoping that he would come back. But instead, he is enjoying the blessings of his family in the Helian tribe!"
"Hey, but when it comes to Ji Baochuan's husband, Lin Yang has some doubts. How do you know, Queen Mother, that he is living a good life in the Helian tribe?"
"Ah...I..." Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's tangled look, Princess Lin Yang said with a clear expression on her face, "Lin Yang understands, keep it secret! Right?"
Sheng Shaoqing: "…………"
That's right, right?
The two of them sat down at the table. Sheng Shaoqing looked at the delicacies in front of him and felt as helpless as a eunuch going to a brothel. He ate at the table in succession over the past five days and ate more in five days than she had eaten in five years in modern times.
I really can't hold it in my stomach.
Princess Lin Yang saw that Sheng Shaoqing had a loss of appetite. She picked up the chopsticks several times and quickly put them down. She thought for a while and asked, "Is the Queen Mother tired of these tricks?"
"Otherwise, Lin Yang will send two chefs from his palace in a few days. One is good at northern cuisine, and the other is good at Jiangnan cuisine. Lin Yang has tried both for the Queen Mother, and they are both good..."
Sheng Shaoqing suddenly thought of something bad in his mind. Princess Lin Yang usually raised so many noodles, but this one... was it a vegetable?
【Moral value-1.】
Sheng Shaoqing asked the system angrily, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still there?"
[Reserved function startup, loading...]
you**
[Civilization value-0.1.]
Sheng Shaoqing was almost furious with the system. Didn't she just think a little bit wrongly? So what if the car drove off on a broken road!
"Queen Mother?"
Seeing that Sheng Shaoqing didn't answer her question, Princess Linyang was confused and had to ask.
"Ah!" Sheng Shaoqing reacted and waved his hands repeatedly, "No... no need, thank you princess for your kindness."
"Sister-in-law, please don't be polite to me. You haven't even eaten a few bites of these. It seems like you don't like these dishes. You might as well try the chef I recommended."
Sheng Shaoqing refused several times, so he had to accept Princess Lin Yang's kindness. However, before Princess Lin Yang left, Sheng Shaoqing couldn't help but remind her: prepare more handkerchiefs.
She was afraid that the scene of the couple's reunion was too touching and Ji Baochuan's tears would directly overwhelm the princess palace.
Princess Lin Yang returned to the Princess Mansion with full of doubts. Lin Feng, the steward of the Princess Mansion, had just picked up the princess's carriage and helped the princess out of the carriage. He whispered in the princess's ear, "Princess, the Privy Council has arrived, please."
Let him wait in Tingfeng Courtyard first."
Princess Lin Yang nodded, "Where is Mr. Ji now?"
"According to the princess's instructions, I am temporarily living in Canglan Garden."
"There will be a banquet at Quanjuzhai tonight for them to meet each other." Princess Linyang paused, "Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?"
Manager Lin nodded and said, "The servants are all ready. Does the princess have any other instructions?"
Princess Lin Yang suddenly remembered Sheng Shaoqing's instructions, turned to Manager Lin and said, "Prepare more handkerchiefs."
"ah?"
Manager Lin suspected that his ears had heard it wrong. He could understand whatever dressing-up items were being prepared. After all, it was a reunion of husband and wife, and tidying up could enhance their relationship. But what was the purpose of preparing a handkerchief?
Shall we mop the floor together?
"Just prepare as I say."
Manager Lin let out an "ah" sound, wondering at what time the princess had become strange.
