As soon as Xiao Ci took Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong away, the house of Prince Rui became quieter and quieter.
Song Qinghuan also had filial piety, so he couldn't just go to another mansion, so he had to stay in the palace and live like a pig, eating, drinking and sleeping.
Xiao Ci didn't remember Song Qinghuan's birthday, but the Song family did. Because Mrs. Song passed away, Xiao Yun couldn't send Song Qinghuan back to celebrate, so she sent someone a birthday gift one day in advance.
Not only did Xiaoyun prepare it, but Song Qingyan also prepared it. Even Song Wende also selected a favorite painting from his precious study and sent it to him.
Since it was her first birthday after marrying into the palace, Song Qinghuan was afraid that Song Qinghuan would feel uncomfortable walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms, so he privately took turns with several maids to embroider a floor-to-ceiling screen with the goddess scattering flowers at night.
Song Qinghuan herself was indifferent. It turned out that Tuxue also mentioned the birthday matter and asked her what she wanted to do.
At that time, I knew that the winter solstice sacrifice could not be carried out, so I thought of having a normal meal with Xiao Ci and Xiao Jingtong Xiao Jingchuan.
But now that these few are no longer in the house, even the food has been saved, and there is no more ideas.
On the 16th day of the winter lunar month, the Song family sent longevity noodles early in the morning.
Xunmei ran quickly with the food box, fearing that she would get cold. As soon as she entered the residence, she urged: "Princess, Mrs. Hou has sent longevity noodles, hurry up and eat them while they are hot."
The noodles and soup are separate, and they arrived just in time. In addition to longevity noodles, there is also a red egg.
Chun Niang happened to be talking to Song Qinghuan, and when she saw the Song family's behavior, she laughed: "Mrs. Qi Beihou is really thoughtful. She came to deliver noodles and red eggs very early in the morning."
He added: "If the princess wants to eat, just let our cook cook it. Why bother to seek something far away?"
Can the food cooked by the cook in Prince Rui’s Mansion be the same as the one sent by the Song family?
Song Qinghuan stirred the longevity noodles in the bowl, looked up at Chun Niang, and laughed too: "Chun Niang has never celebrated her birthday with her relatives since she was a child, so naturally she doesn't know the meaning of this."
"How can the food sent by my parents be the same as what I ordered the cook to cook?"
Chun Niang's face changed slightly, but then she smiled again to apologize: "It was Chun Niang who was abrupt, Princess, don't blame me."
He seemed to have said unintentionally: "My lord, it's true. I didn't even know that I spent the first birthday with the princess after entering the palace. What's the point of going hunting? It's just that the princess was alone."
Song Qinghuan said: "What's wrong with being lonely? There are people in my yard. A few maids even embroidered a screen for me, and I had people frame it. It looks great."
He added: "At night, I also ordered the kitchen staff to prepare two tables and set them up in the yard for them to eat and play. If Miss Chun Niang is free, she can come and sit."
Chun Niang's words contained multiple meanings, which made people very unhappy. Song Qinghuan had to scold her a few times, and then she calmed down.
Chun Niang had just walked away, and Xun Mei spat at the back: "This Chun Niang really doesn't think of herself as a person. She even dares to arrange it in front of our princess."
Texue took one look at Song Qinghuan's expression and pulled her up: "Stop saying a few words."
Chun Niang didn't pose any threat to Song Qinghuan, she was just a little disgusting at most. She ate all the longevity noodles in the bowl, peeled the red eggs, and said lightly: "The most tragic thing in life is not to be able to clear it."
One's own identity."
Song Qinghuan ate longevity noodles and red eggs, took care of things in the house, and then went back to the house to lie down.
As soon as he lay down, another gift came from the palace, from Princess Rouzhen.
The red lacquered and carved wooden box is quite heavy. When you open it, you will find that it is full of jewelry. Everything is good. After counting, there are more than ten kinds.
Song Qinghuan took out these things one by one, looked at them, and said, "It's really her style."
Rich and wealthy.
Along with the congratulatory gift was a letter.
Song Qinghuan opened it and glanced at it, skimming over the nonsense in the first two pages to congratulate her on her birthday. After reading the second page, she realized that as soon as the Wusha plague was over, the prince fell ill, and the smell of bitter medicine lingered in the East Palace every day.
As a younger sister, it was not good for her to come out of the palace to celebrate her birthday with her at this time.
It is not unusual for Prince Xiao Mu to be in poor health. At that time, he was poisoned by the poison of a poisonous insect, so he became infected with the poisonous insect. As soon as he regained consciousness, he drank the poison of tiger and wolf, so his health was naturally damaged.
It was good that he could hold on without being tortured to death by the tiger and wolf medicine, but his health would not get better in the future.
Song Qinghuan didn't care about the prince's affairs, so he just read it and folded the letter. Only then did he really feel a little lost.
I couldn't help but think of the time before I got married, I, Rouzhen and Song Qingyan had a banquet and drank in Lanyue Pavilion.
Rouzhen sent congratulatory gifts, and soon Zhang Yunwei also sent something.
Zhang Yunwei was the capital where Song Qinghuan got married. Just a few days after Song Qinghuan got married, the plague broke out. She took Brother Xu with her and stayed in the house on Wujin Lane. Looking at this situation, she was afraid that she would have to wait for the Chinese New Year.
Spent it in Kyoto.
There were a lot of birthday gifts, but Song Qinghuan's mood was getting worse and worse.
She didn't eat lunch either, so she stayed there until the afternoon. When she woke up from hunger, she asked Taxue to bring her something.
Texue also knew that she was in a bad mood, so he asked the kitchen to prepare some desserts and then asked her: "Princess, there is nothing going on in the palace, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Song Qinghuan held her chin and looked at Ta Xue: "Where are we going?"
She doesn't want to go back to the Song family. She is so ruthless that she can't leave the palace. As for Zhang Yunwei, she can't go with her filial piety, so where else can she go?
Xunmei came in from outside and said, "Let's go to Yipinju."
What was carried in the food box was the dessert prepared by the kitchen. Before Xunmei took it out, he said: "I think the snacks and desserts in Wangfu are not as delicious as those in Yipinju."
"Isn't the princess just hungry? How about we go to Yipinju?"
Yipinju is considered my own shop, so I naturally went there.
Song Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw how Xunmei's eyes lit up when she mentioned food.
Although I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, I might as well think about going out for a walk.
Immediately he said: "Okay, then go to Yipinju."
After the plague, Yipinju opened its doors a few days later. Perhaps it was because the plague had hit the entire Kyoto, so Yipinju's business is not as usual now.
Song Qinghuan changed her clothes and took a carriage to Yipinju. She only had some food there and had nothing to do. She sat there for most of the day and waited until dark before returning home.
I didn't feel anything when I entered the mansion, but when I returned to Yilanju, something felt wrong.
She looked at the lanterns in the yard, turned around and asked Ta Xue: "What are you little maids doing?
