How could Princess Rouzhen not hear what this sister was saying?
Then he blinked and said with an innocent and romantic tone: "She is not the former second emperor's sister-in-law."
As he spoke, he smiled harmlessly and said, "The rouge, gouache and skin care cream from Sister Song's makeup booth are really useful. Last time, Sister Song gave me a box of traceless cream."
She raised her hand to touch her injured cheek, her eyes full of anticipation.
Last time, the idiot Princess Sixteenth and Princess Rouzhen caused something like that over a few silk flowers, causing innocent people like them to be implicated.
The fourteenth princess now felt extremely disgusted when she heard about Diazhuang Pavilion. If Rouzhen hadn't relied on the things from Dianzhuang Pavilion to please Empress Dowager Jiang, how could these things have happened.
At that moment, he spoke out quickly and retorted: "Oh, Wuhen Cream, I don't even know what kind of mess it is. Sister, please be careful not to get a bad face."
"Sister Fourteen..." Princess Rouzhen's face immediately showed a sense of grievance, her eyes were like water and mist, and she looked very pitiful.
The fifteenth princess, who had been silent all this time, hurriedly pulled the fourteenth princess back and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is jealous."
After saying this, he stopped speaking again.
The sounds of greetings from civil and military officials came from outside, and the sound in the carriage was also silenced.
Empress Wang supported Empress Dowager Jiang to the Star-Zhaing Pavilion, and all the harem women followed her. Princess Rouzhen walked at the end. Seeing someone inadvertently, she ducked in front of Song Qinghuan and said with a smile: "You came so early.
I thought you had to come after the sacrifice."
Song Qinghuan didn't know that winter solstice sacrifices were so troublesome. She thought she could sneak out with Princess Rouzhen when she arrived, but she didn't know she would have to wait.
I regretted coming too early, but said, "I haven't celebrated the Winter Solstice ceremony yet, so I wanted to come over and join in the fun."
Then he said: "I think there is still time, why don't I go sit in the tea shop outside first, and you can come find me after the sacrifice is over."
The observatory was specially built for the Winter Solstice sacrifices at a cost of a lot of money. The observatory in front of it was open to the common people. Every year during the sacrifices, many common people gathered around it to create a royal look.
Behind them were the royal family and civil and military officials resting.
Song Qinghuan arrived early, and Princess Rouzhen didn't have to escape so quickly. She couldn't enter the observatory, but she couldn't just stand here and waste her time.
Princess Rouzhen thought the same way. Her sisters were not good, so they were still in the carriage. If they bumped into each other, they might say something that would make people unable to get off the stage.
Immediately, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will come out to look for you after the sacrifice."
He added: "I made an agreement with the Queen Mother early in the morning, and she has agreed to mine today."
Seeing that all the female relatives in the harem had gone far away, I hurriedly said a few words to Song Qinghuan before leaving, when a decent eunuch came over.
The eunuch was young, and he said in a thin voice: "I have met the princess, I have met the eldest daughter of Qi Beihou."
The two of them looked over together, and the eunuch said again: "I have followed the Queen Mother's wishes and invited Miss Song to sit inside."
Princess Rouzhen's brows jumped and she looked at Song Qinghuan. Seeing that she was also surprised, her face suddenly dropped. She looked the eunuch who was delivering the message up and down and asked, "My father-in-law, is he from Cining Palace? I am.
Why do you feel so unfamiliar? What is your name? Who is the master?"
When the eunuch heard this, he lowered his head and said more respectfully: "My name is Chen Xi, my master is He Changchun. I just came to Cining Palace as a servant not long ago. On weekdays, I do odd jobs and run errands. I don't wait in front of my master, so the princess has never seen him."
A servant's."
This eunuch's logic is perfect, and there is no flaw in his words. He Changchun is the most favored eunuch around Queen Mother Jiang. Recently, I heard that he has accepted two apprentices. Princess Rouzhen rarely goes to Queen Mother Jiang since she has lost her appearance.
I have never met He Changchun's two apprentices.
Although she was a little doubtful, she believed everything. She looked a little sad at the moment. She didn't know why Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to see Song Qinghuan on a whim.
Song Qinghuan was also filled with doubts. When she got married to Xiao Wei last year, Queen Mother Jiang was not in Kyoto. When she left the Yi Palace and Li, Queen Mother Jiang had not returned to Beijing.
From the time she married Xiao Wei to the time of their divorce, less than a month had passed, and she had not appeared in front of Empress Dowager Jiang.
She had seen Empress Dowager Jiang in the past years, but it was only from a long distance away. It seemed that she had never been summoned like this.
Princess Rouzhen whispered: "Is it because of the makeup pavilion?"
Song Qinghuan also guessed that Xiao Wei had already touched Empress Dowager Jiang's side, and Empress Dowager Jiang would not stand up for him for something that happened a year ago. It was probably for the decoration of the makeup pavilion.
The products from the Dianzhuang Pavilion are not bad, and any good ones can be found at Princess Rouzhen's.
Although Empress Dowager Jiang is not young, she is very dissatisfied with old age. In order to avoid getting married in those days, Princess Rouzhen did what she wanted and sent many things to Cining Palace.
Knowing that Song Qinghuan's status was embarrassing, Princess Rouzhen rarely mentioned it in front of the Queen Mother. She only talked about Dianzhuange and Zhang Yunwei, the young lady of the Wei family.
I never thought that Queen Mother Jiang would actually want to see Song Qinghuan today.
Not only was Empress Dowager Jiang's hegemony, she was suspected of being seriously ill. Song Qinghuan really didn't want to have much contact with her, but since someone was here to invite her, he had to go, otherwise it would be disobeying Yi's order.
Princess Rouzhen thought for a moment and said, "I won't join you anymore."
Song Qinghuan nodded, and said to Chen Xi politely with a stiff face: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please lead the way."
Princess Rouzhen left quickly, while Song Qinghuan lagged far behind.
The two of them had the same destination, the Star Reaching Pavilion, and they arrived one after the other.
The Fourteenth Princess and the Fifteenth Princess had seen Song Qinghuan a long time ago, and when they saw her coming to the Star Picking Pavilion this time, they couldn't help but take a second look.
The fourteenth princess couldn't help it and smiled at Princess Rouzhen: "Isn't this former second emperor's sister-in-law coming with her sister? Why did she have to come in one after the other?"
Rouzhen blinked, with a confused look on her face, and asked suspiciously: "Hey, why is Sister Song here?"
He looked like he didn't know what was going on.
The front hall of Zhaixing Pavilion was full of people sitting and standing, all of them were concubines and princesses from the harem. The smell of powder and ointment came and went, and it didn't smell good either.
Song Qinghuan finally entered the palace, greeted him politely, and then stood huddled in the corner, pretending to be a transparent person.
Empress Dowager Jiang was served by the empress in the back hall, burning incense and bathing. The women in the front hall also avoided sensitive topics and talked about clothes and jewelry.
Except for Song Qinghuan who attracted a lot of attention when she entered the palace, no one paid attention to her.
Song Qinghuan had been standing here for half an hour, and her legs were numb. Empress Wang then helped Queen Dowager Jiang, who was dressed in fine clothes, to come out of the back hall. Everyone present stood up and saluted, and Song Qinghuan also shouted in response.
Queen Mother Jiang nodded and said nothing. Not long after, the eunuch outside the palace sang: "The auspicious time has come."
Then he asked Queen Wang to help him go to the observatory.
Empress Wang supported Empress Dowager Jiang and walked in the front, followed closely by the concubines and several unmarried princesses. The youngest princess even asked the nanny to hold her in her arms.
Seeing these people leave as soon as possible, Song Qinghuan was left standing there dumbly and motionless.
