"You and your Majesty have a very close relationship. How could you forget to tell you about such a big event as his engagement? Ah...Does it mean that Your Majesty doesn't regard you as an important person, so there is no need to tell you? Your Majesty is too ruthless.
Alright."
Duanmufu turned around and said proudly:
"The engagement date between you and me is the fifth day of November, and there is still one month left. It will arrive soon. I hope the ginkgo flowers will bloom on that day. You and I will have a romantic engagement ceremony. A phoenix is being built in the palace.
Qidian, that was built specifically for me to be married to you. In the future, you will designate me as your queen outside the Jinluan Hall. Sister, when I am led by your Majesty and walked outside the Jinluan Palace to be crowned your queen, will you bless us?
"
Wen Jin pursed her lips and said nothing. It was true that the palace was under construction in the Zhong Palace and Ying Feng Terrace. Wen Jin saw the joy in Duanmu's brows and said softly: "The flowering period of ginkgo is in April. In November, there are hibiscus and peonies."
.I believe hibiscus and peonies will be in full bloom at his engagement ceremony. Outside the Jinluan Palace, I planted a lot of hibiscus and peonies a few years ago."
Duanmufu's face turned hot. She couldn't come down to the stage because she told the wrong flowering period. Her maid whispered: "What's so great about it? My lady also understands the flowering period and doesn't want to show off. It's not like some people who like to show off."
Wen Jin asked: "When is the flowering period of Bianhua flower?"
Duanmufu and the maid were asked so many questions that they couldn't answer them.
Wen Jin said: "August or September."
Duanmu Fu looked sternly and said, "Sister is a flower lover."
"What are you asking about the strange Bianhua flowers?" the maid said, "If you ask about pear blossoms and peach blossoms, everyone knows about these common spring blooms."
Wen Jin said with a smile, "You didn't say that I love to show off. If I don't show off, your words will fall to the ground. I have to use my love to show off to set off the good character of you and your lady. In what month will the hydrangeas bloom?
"
Maid: "..."
Duanmu: "..."
Wen Jin said in a deep voice: "Blooming in midsummer."
"You!" The maid's face also cracked.
"Zhu, don't be rude." Duanmu Fu scolded his maid in a low voice, "There is no need to compete with my sister. I know that I understand the flowering period."
The bead stopped his mouth.
Wen Jin didn't want to continue talking to Duanmu. He couldn't come up with anything useful to talk to Junshang's fiancée to get rid of his own discomfort. It would not help Yu Zhen Baoyin's schooling, so he said without losing his grace: "Your Majesty's political affairs
He is more desperate. He suffered from severe headaches when he was young. Don't get angry and take good care of him."
"I will take good care of you. The saint has been the candidate for the queen of the middle palace since ancient times. She is valued by the king, so the pomp will naturally be bigger. It is not as easy as my sister who can get the favor of the king without a matchmaker or betrothal. I envy my sister.
Well, I have to make the final decision for my life's major events. She is a role model for us women!"
Miss Duanmu's tone was full of disdain, and she said arrogantly:
"Your Majesty ordered me to give me a lot of rouge a few days ago. Do you want my sister? Give some to my sister? Your Majesty likes to taste rouge the most. It seems to me that my sister doesn't apply makeup. Didn't your Majesty give you rouge?
"
Wen Jin clenched her hands tightly and wanted to hit someone again, but she really couldn't beat the emperor's wife again, otherwise she would hit all those who could be named around you, so she suppressed the fire and told the truth.
Said: "Your Majesty did not give me rouge."
Fu Jingheng forbade her from using rouge, probably because he was afraid that if he kissed her, he would be poisoned by the rouge. He cherished his life. Every time he used rouge, he frowned and was angry with her to death for feeding me this trouble? But how to put Duanmu in his mouth today?
Are you worried about being poisoned if you apply rouge cream?
When Duanmufu saw Wen Jin's disappointed face, he felt quite satisfied in his heart. Your Majesty treated her differently from others. Your Majesty gave her rouge, but Wen Jin didn't have rouge.
This rouge is made from the finest red and blue flowers in Guangli Country, which are very rare. Only the brightest petals in an acre of flower fields are selected to make high-quality rouge, but not everyone is qualified to use it.
"It doesn't matter. My sister is not a stingy person. I will ask someone to send some for my sister to use some other time."
"No need. I'm not used to using rouge. You can keep it for yourself." Wen Jin flatly refused. She was not interested in these jewelry and makeup, but the man gave rouge to others, not her alone. Did you ignore her so deliberately?
At this moment, Mo Gan came out from the palace gate.
Mo Gan came nearby and said to Wen Jin: "Master Jin, your Majesty ordered us to come out and bring you a message."
Wen Jin was startled, "What are you talking about? Please tell me."
"Your Majesty said that in the evening he would cancel non-essential entertainment and attend business meetings. During the Youshi period, he would take time to accompany you and let Magistrate Zhang check your pulse." Mo Gan bowed.
Wen Jin's heart suddenly moved, and then her heart began to beat wildly. He wanted to take time to accompany her to check her pulse. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Okay."
"Youshi?" Duanmufu immediately frowned and was furious, "Eunuch Mo, didn't Your Majesty Youshi want to go to the Garment Bureau with me to get tailor-made clothes?"
"Your Majesty's decision is only passed on to our family under orders." Mo Gan greeted Duanmu Fu with a smile, "I will postpone the matter of tailoring wedding clothes to you after checking the pulse with Lord Jin'er. Miss Duanmu will Rest and wait in the distant palace opposite Daoqing Lake."
"Palace? Huh, why is it a palace? Shouldn't it be in the dragon's bed in the main hall where the emperor is?" Duanmu Fu was really puzzled. The last time she sent her grandma back to the palace, she was arranged to live in the Yuehua Palace by the emperor, so she was already neglecting it. She was shocked, and this time she was directly arranged to stay in a remote palace. Why could Wen Jin live in the Dragon Palace for a long time?
"This is your Majesty's arrangement. We don't know the reason." Mo Gan added: "Ah, by the way, did the Miss Duanmu receive the rouge prepared by the Etiquette Department? Every young master has it. The Etiquette Department Mr. Meng is still very considerate and a warm-hearted man, and the condolence gifts are well done."
"Ministry of Etiquette?! Mr. Meng?" Duanmufu's pretty face suddenly changed color. Wasn't it arranged by your Majesty personally to send it to you? He was embarrassed in front of Wen Jin, so he let Zhu hold him across the aisle to the other side of Qinghu Lake.
Mo Gan said to Wen Jin again: "Master Jin, just now Miss Duanmu and your Majesty just communicated the secrets of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager. Our family separated when they saw them walking to the gate of the imperial study room. There was no physical contact. Don’t misunderstand me.”
Wen Jin smiled warmly, "Sooner or later she will be his wife. It's not necessary for you to explain."
Mo Gan hesitated to speak and sighed, "Master Jin, you..."
Wen Jin asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Lao Mo? Why are you sighing like this? It seems like I'm going to be in bad luck."
Lao Mo sighed and said, "No, it's nothing. Lord Jin remembers that he returned to the palace at Youshi and went to the imperial study room to meet the saint."
Royal study room?!
Wen Jin felt uneasy. She had been reading for the emperor for more than ten years, but she had not been allowed to enter the imperial study room for several months. Why did the emperor suddenly allow her to enter the imperial study room? She went with him from the imperial study room. Did you ask Judge Zhang to check your pulse? "Yes. OK. I understand."
Lao Mo turned back to look at Wen Jin and returned to the palace with a deeply worried look on his face.
After Wen Jin broke up with Lao Mo, he left the palace. A group of soldiers and horses came from the southwest and galloped into the palace gate. The big brother of the officers and soldiers shouted: "Make way, make way!"
A few more people from outside were talking: "These soldiers came back from Nanguo, Huainan. I heard that something happened in Nanguo, Huainan. There was a problem with the food relief. People were dying. The people fell in large numbers! Their intestines were rotten.
, it seems that the baby has also eaten a lot. The emperor is ignorant and unreasonable, and he thinks it is difficult to support the people, so he wants to bloodbath Nanguo and eradicate the untouchables! God, it is really unfortunate for the people to have such a bad emperor."
Someone else said: "The saints have come down from Hanshan Mountain to pray for the people. The Imperial Master has also been alarmed!"
Wen Jin didn't hear clearly, but she became interested when she heard about Huainan. She hoped that Huainan would be good, but Huainan and Nanguo would not be good, so she was afraid that something would happen to him. Moreover, Fu Jingheng cared about the people and was not a bad emperor, so she went over to grab a commoner.
He asked: "Fellow fellow, may I ask what happened in the Nanguo area of Huainan?"
"I don't know, I don't know. Little girl, don't ask, lest you get into trouble." The people didn't dare to say more, and ran away after saying a few words about whether they knew or not.
Wen Jin began to feel uneasy. Half a month ago, the king had hosted a celebration banquet for Liu Yingfu and Zi Shu. How could something happen? After all, she calmed down, suppressed the panic in her heart, and went to sit in the shop in Duanqiao Hutong.
After a while, most of the shop was decorated. The landlord Ling Che often came to supervise the work and help. There were no mistakes, so he returned to the front yard of Xue Mansion.
When he entered the courtyard, he saw Yu Zhen lying on the wall connecting the front yard and the backyard, looking enviously at Xue Yulin in the backyard, wearing the uniform of the Imperial Academy, riding a wooden horse in the yard.
Baoyin also lay on the wall and looked into the backyard to watch Xue Yulin play with the wooden horse.
Wen Jin stood in the courtyard and watched his younger brother admiring Xue Yulin. He felt particularly distressed and called out: "Yu Zhen, Bao Yin."
