The snow-white paper was spread out, and the flexible pen tip filled with ink jumped flexibly. Li Yuhua quickly wrote a line of words and put it next to his hand to dry. This is the cut Xuelang plain paper, and it is the right size to put directly into the envelope.
After sealing the plain paper, Li Yuhua looked at the colorful clay figurines in the box, sealed the lid, handed it to Yun Yan and said, "I told the old lady that I want to give a copy to Miss Lan. Come over. Same.
Miss Lan said, I saw this when I went out to the evening market yesterday and thought it was interesting, so I gave it to her to play with. It's a bit crude, and that's what I feel like."
Yunyan held the box and took the plain paper. Li Yuhua pointed to the other two copies and said to Yunque, "These two are for the second and third sisters. Yunque, please go and make a trip."
Not long after Yunque left, Grandma Zheng came over and asked Li Yuhua to go to the old lady's place, saying that someone from the Department of Internal Affairs came to greet Li Yuhua.
Li Yuhua checked her appearance in Jingli, then held an umbrella and followed Grandma Zheng.
Li Yuhua knew that her appearance was not outstanding, and she didn't care much about the men she didn't like in her hometown before. Now she has the third prince she likes, so she loves beauty very much now. Because her skin is a bit dark, as long as it is daytime, Li Yuhua will go out
Holding an umbrella.
In the main hall of Shoudeyuan, two nuns in blue silk skirts were sitting. Old Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu were chatting with them. Li Yuhua had already learned from Aunt Sun about the ranks of female officials in the palace. Look at these two nuns.
She was dressed like a female official of the seventh rank. When she saw Li Yuhua come in, they both stood up to greet her. One of them was named Wang and the other was Li. They were from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Shangfu Bureau. They came to pay their respects to the third prince's concubine on the orders of the general manager.
"No need to be polite, please sit down and talk." Li Yuhua went over to sit with Mrs. Xu, "It's a hot day now, so I have to bother you with this trip. Grandma has fresh fruits here, you might as well try them, it will help.
Cool off the heat.”
Li Yuhua is a bit approachable, but neither humble nor arrogant. Mrs. Xu is very satisfied with Li Yuhua's attitude towards others. He is not arrogant when dealing with others, nor humble when dealing with others. Mrs. Xu said that she is a lady among us.
The maid brought the honeydew melon from Northern Xinjiang. They thanked each other and each took a piece to eat. After eating the melon, Wang Siyi said, "I already got the big dress. This time I came here to pay my respects to the girl, and also to look at it."
Depends on the girl’s size, we can just slightly change the size when we get back.”
"Thank you for your trouble."
It was the first time for Li Yuhua to meet someone from the Department of Internal Affairs, and it was also the first time for Wang Siyi and Li Siyi to meet the rumored third prince's concubine. There were many rumors about the third prince's concubine in the imperial capital. The loudest one was that neither Ci'en Palace nor the third prince had any doubts about their relationship.
Miss Xu was very satisfied, especially His Highness, who even heard that he would come out of the palace to see Miss Xu every now and then.
There are even rumors that Miss Xu is beautiful and beautiful...well...
However, Li Yuhua's every move coincided with the laws of the palace. The Queen Mother's beloved Grandma Sun was sent to teach Li Yuhua. This matter was well known to everyone in the Internal Affairs Department. The two became more and more respectful and talked a lot with each other before leaving.
went.
After the two left, Li Yuhua said in confusion, "They came to measure the size of the dress, but I don't think they did."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "They are grandmothers of many years. Their eyes are as accurate as rulers. They can tell at a glance what size they should be."
"This is really amazing."
"Whoever can compete for the top spot in the palace is not powerful."
Mrs. Xu took out a few lists from her sleeve and gave them to Mrs. Xu, "I came here to ask the old lady to take a look. This is the dowry list prepared for Yuhua. Take a look, but there is still something to add.
Let’s add more. It just so happens that Yuhua is here too. Let’s take a look at it together. This is your dowry. If you see what else you like, add it together.”
"Yes, you should take a look too." Mrs. Xu asked Li Yuhua to come with her.
Li Yuhua waved his hand and said, "I don't quite understand this. What the family has prepared for me is naturally good. It's already past the time when grandma lectures on the "Laws of the Forbidden Palace" every day, so I'll go first." He got up and returned to the courtyard.
.
Mrs. Xu smiled, "Let's just watch it first, and then we can talk to Yuhua about it after it's sorted out."
Mrs. Xu naturally said yes.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at it carefully, because this marriage was a bit regretful. It was rare that Li Yuhua was very lucky to be in love with the third prince. Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhen wanted to compensate Li Yuhua in the dowry. Seeing that there was Mrs. Xu's land on it, Old Mrs. Xu
He said, "This is your dowry. From now on, it should be left to Ah Zhuo Ajie Hui Ran Wan Ran."
"The old lady is now a heretic. I used to be very close to Sister Li. Knowing what happened to Sister Li, I felt guilty and blamed myself. I thought it was because our family treated people too well and didn't pay attention to those unruly slaves, so Li
My sister and Yuhua have suffered for so many years, this is my wish, old lady, please don't refuse, otherwise you will blame me." Mrs. Xu said sincerely.
Old Mrs. Xu said, "Don't worry too much. You are that kind of person. You are just being a slave and bullying the master." She did not mention that Mrs. Xu should take back the dowry land.
This dowry list was very carefully thought out, and there was nothing faulty about it. Mrs. Xu said, "It's quite complete. I don't think there's any need to add or subtract anything. I'll let Ah Zhen take a look at it when he comes back." She kept the dowry list.
It's at hand.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said hesitantly, "I just came over to the old lady's place and saw Yun Yan and Li Chun's family going out. They said they were going to Mr. Lan's mansion to deliver something to Miss Lan."
"Yesterday, His Highness the Third Highness bought a cart full of things for Yuhua. The little girl gave them flowers to each other, and they started going back and forth." Mrs. Xu smiled, "I will also be my sister-in-law with Miss Lan in the future.
Yes, it’s a good thing to be on good terms with her now.”
Mrs. Xu was a little worried, "Actually, the Crown Princess also wants to have a good relationship with Yuhua."
At this point, Mrs. Xu realized that Yunyan had brought a gift when she went out, and she only wanted to go to Lan Gong's mansion. Mrs. Xu thought for a moment, "Maybe Yuhua was negligent."
"It's okay if it's an oversight, but I'm worried that there will be a rift between Yuhua and the Crown Princess." Mrs. Xu put her fingers on the tea cup, but never picked it up to take a sip. She sighed softly, "Since the establishment of the East Palace, the three of them have
His Highness has always been very cold to the East Palace, and he does not respect the Queen as much as before. It is rare for Yuhua to fall in love with the Third Highness. Wouldn't it be good if she could persuade the Third Highness to make peace between the brothers. I am not doing this for others.
Firstly, we both look good together, and secondly, let’s honestly say, what’s wrong with being on good terms with the prince?”
"What you say makes sense." Old Mrs. Xu said, "Maybe she has a young child and hasn't thought of this at the moment. I'll tell her in detail."
Yunyan went away for about an hour, and when he came back he brought Miss Lan a palace flower for his own girl.
Yunque handed her a cup of tea, and the two of them talked in the cubicle, "Where is the girl still studying?"
"As soon as you left, the nanny from the Internal Affairs Department came to greet the girl, and the girl stayed with her to talk for a while."
"Then go back to the girl at noon. Don't disturb the girl from studying." Yun Yan said.
Yunque also meant the same thing. Li Yuhua was very attentive in studying and didn't like to be disturbed. Yunyan and Yunque knew her rules when they were around her. The two of them talked quietly for a while and practiced the rules for a while. She and she were going to be dowed.
Naturally, we must practice the rules well and not hold back our own girls.
At noon, Li Yuhua closed the book, Yunque served tea to Grandma Sun, and Yunyan served tea to the girl. They reported everything about going to Lan's house, "The slave came back and saw the girl studying with Grandma, so she didn't dare to disturb Lan.
The girl saw the clay figurine that the girl gave her and said she liked it very much. This is what Miss Lan asked me to bring to the girl. It is a new type of velvet flower from the south. Please don’t dislike it, girl. It’s good to send it away." She said, holding up the box of velvet flowers and giving it to her.
Li Yuhua looks at it.
"Miss Lan is so polite. Of course I will keep such a good palace flower and wear it." Li Yuhua saw a box of colorful velvet flowers. The flowers were dyed from silk into velvet, and then blended with silver threads to shape them. They were exquisite.
It was amazing. The stamens in the middle were all dotted crystal beads. There were milk flowers, red peonies, golden osmanthus, and silk begonias. There were one pair of each, totaling eight branches. Li Yuhua took a look at it and liked it very much.
Let Yunyan put it away and put it on his head tomorrow.
After lunch, Mrs. Xu took her two daughters to leave first, while Mrs. Xu left Li Yuhua to talk.
Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has become more and more refreshing. Although the sun is still hot at noon, it is not as hot as in summer, which seems to melt people. What's more, there is a gentle breeze blowing, bringing with it the smell of the grass and trees in the courtyard, which is very comfortable.
Old Mrs. Xu first asked Miss Lan what happened there. Li Yuhua leaned on the armrest with her elbows and looked at Old Mrs. Xu sideways, "Sister Lan said she liked the clay figures I gave her very much, and she asked Yunyan to take one with her.
Give me the box velvet flowers, they are all very beautiful."
"That's good. Since we are in love, it will be easy to interact with the sisters in the palace in the future." Old Mrs. Xu smiled, "But I have to remind you that this time you, Miss Lan, and the Miss Lu family are getting married on the same day.
, who entered the house on the same day, they will all be sisters-in-law from now on. Miss Lu married the eldest prince, who is also the current prince, and will be the crown princess in the future. Although there is some resentment between the third prince and the prince now, let’s be honest, after all, the prince
He is the crown prince, and being able to have a good relationship with the prince will be beneficial to the third prince, right?"
Li Yuhua knew what the old lady Xu meant as soon as she rolled her eyes. She said, "I thought about it for a long time in the morning before letting Yunyan give it to Miss Lu. His Highness the Third Prince told me clearly that he doesn't like Fengyi Palace and the
The East Palace treats the Lu family at a respectful distance and tells me not to associate with them."
Old Mrs. Xu was so shocked that she didn't know what to say next. Her train of thought was completely interrupted. She opened her mouth and Old Mrs. Xu asked, "When did His Highness the Third Prince say this to you?"
"That's what I said when I went to the evening market last time. He hates Fengyi Palace and won't let me interact with the Lu family."
Old Mrs. Xu let out a long sigh, "Your Highness, Third Highness, hey, Your Highness, this is, hey..." After a while, Old Mrs. Xu raised her eyelids and asked Li Yuhua, "What do you mean?"
"You also know that although I get along well with His Highness the Third, we have only known each other for a short time, and now we are just trying to get along. When we get along for a long time, I will naturally persuade you when I can. But it is not possible right now. I and His Highness the Third
Friendship is more important. Grandma said, is that true?"
"You're right." Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about you and His Highness first, and then talk about other things."
Then, Li Yuhua rejected Mrs. Xu's dowry property for the same reason. His Highness did not like it and was very resistant to the surnamed Lu. Don't make His Highness unhappy.
As for His Highness the Third Prince...
His Highness the Third Prince came to Ci'en Palace in the morning to pay his respects. Queen Mother Lan looked a little strange in his sapphire blue uniform and said, "This is not the palace's needlework, where did it come from?"
"The clothes in the palace are either embroidered or trimmed. They are too eye-catching when going out. Sister Yuhua made these for me and I wear them when I leave the palace." Mu Anzhi dusted off the hem.
Queen Mother Lan took a closer look and said, "This material is quite good, and the needlework is also good for a lady. Are you going to find Miss Xu again?"
"Go and see her."
Empress Dowager Lan smiled and said, "The Department of Internal Affairs has made preparations. The betrothal gift, the princess's formal dress, and the gold book are all ready. Tomorrow is an auspicious day to send it to the prince-in-law's family."
"Are you ready now? I thought it was because I had no money in the internal treasury, so I planned to skip the bride price and give us a wife with nothing." Mu Anzhi curled his lips.
Princess Fengyang couldn't help laughing, "If a prince gets married, the Secretary of Internal Affairs will be quick to prepare things. Who knows that the three of you are getting married in one day, and the Secretary of Internal Affairs will be so busy these days."
"Who wants to get married on the same day? I don't know if the Qintian Supervisor will count it, but it actually counts as the same day. I will only get married once in my life, and there are people behind the Paidong Palace watching us?" The third prince took a piece of cake and ate it in one bite.
He said, "Aunt, please talk to grandma." He clapped his hands and got up and walked out.
Queen Mother Lan sighed, "We are getting married right now, so I don't know what to worry about."
Mu Anzhi waved his hand and walked outside to ask Zhou Shao to load two boxes of good fruits for him in the longevity dining room. He took them with him. Princess Fengyang couldn't help laughing and asked her mother, "Anzhi really cares about Miss Xu."
"I have to go every now and then and don't come back until late at night." Queen Mother Lan complained with a smile.
Mu Anzhi took Li Yuhua to his small courtyard with some snacks, and the two talked quietly. Li Yuhua and Mu Anzhi talked about giving gifts to Miss Lan but not to Miss Lu, and her refusal of Lu's dowry of land.
Regarding the dowry matter, Mu Anzhi praised sister Yuhua, "Well done! Stop interacting with the Lu family, especially Princess Lu, she is the most despicable person in the world!"
"So annoying!"
"Anyone who can be as good as Jiaxiang is hers."
"Who is Jiaxiang?"
"The princess born to the Lu family."
"I remember, the last time I went to Ci'en Palace, there was a girl-like person who hummed softly several times and looked down on me. It must be her."
"It must be her. I even suspected that she forgot to bring her brain with her when she was reincarnated. The old Mu family has been in power for hundreds of years, and they have never seen such a brainless person." Mu Anzhi taught Li Yuhua, "If she hums at you again, ask her if she has a bad throat."
If there is a problem, would you like the imperial doctor to prescribe her two doses of decoction to treat her throat?"
It made Li Yuhua laugh out loud.
Mu Anzhi smiled and teased her with a bowl of red bean syrup. Li Yuhua took a sip from Mu Anzhi's hand and licked the corners of his mouth, "I have something serious to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" The afternoon sun shone through the leaves of the sycamore tree, and Mu Anzhi glanced at the corners of Li Yuhua's moist, peach-blossom lips.
"Third brother, please help me find out the shoe sizes of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty."
"What's the purpose of asking?"
"When a new daughter-in-law enters the house, she must present her with needlework made for her elders."
"There is no need to do anything in the palace."
"Our village has to do this, please help me ask."
"If you want to do it, just be the emperor's grandmother. Your Majesty doesn't need it." Mu Anzhi curled his lips.
Seeing his pout, Li Yuhua knew that he had a mediocre relationship with His Majesty, so he said, "Then help me ask the Queen Mother about the size of her shoes."
"I know, long-winded."
"Ask tomorrow."
"well."
As for the size of His Majesty's shoes, Li Yuhua didn't need to bother others at all. He asked Grandma Sun to go back to the palace to find out. Li Yuhua said, "I am not as smart and knowledgeable as the ladies in the imperial capital. This is the rule of my hometown. I heard that it is ordinary in the imperial capital."
The bride also has to do needlework for her parents-in-law and elders. Although there are people in the palace who are responsible for the needlework, how can their own family do the same? You don’t have to go to the labor house, one is to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and the other is
I just ask Nanny to help me inquire with the Queen Mother."
Grandma Sun smiled, "Girl, please show your filial piety. I will return to the palace tomorrow."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The inner garment I made for the Queen Mother is just a few stitches away. When the inner garment is ready, grandma will help me take it back."
"yes."
