Qin Xiangxiang, who was picked up by Grandma Yu herself, rode in a two-horse carriage.
The carriage is extremely spacious, and the stools and walls are covered with cotton-filled satin. There are even hidden gusset panels on the walls of the car, where some candied snacks and the like are placed.
This is the first time Qin Xiang wants to ride in such a good car.
Aunt Yu poured tea for Qin Xiangxiang: "Ms. Qin turns out to be the eldest daughter of Qin Yushi. It is true that she is better than her master. Mrs. Qin is quite like her father."
Qin Xiangxiang smiled slightly: "Mama Yu is so complimentary."
Even though he said this, he seemed to accept it openly.
Grandma Yu had already prepared a lot of words. If Qin Xiang wanted to ask, she would have prepared a prepared answer.
But Qin Xiangxiang didn't ask. He just ate the candied fruit leisurely and praised: "It's so delicious. The cooks in the Princess's mansion are really good."
Aunt Yu: "..." She suddenly had some doubts. Is the eldest princess's invitation to Mrs. Qin really useful to Princess Huizhen?
In this way, Qin Xiangxiang arrived at the eldest princess's residence comfortably and was welcomed to the attic.
Aunt Yu said: "Mrs. Qin must be able to save it. Princess Huizhen lives in the attic."
Qin Xiangxiang looked up at the attic. The attic is really exquisite and beautifully decorated, and you can tell that it has been maintained year after year.
She looked at Nanny Yu: "In the past thirteen years, Princess Huizhen has really never left the attic?"
Aunt Yu shook her head: "Princess Huizhen likes to stay on the second and third floors. The second floor is Princess Huizhen's bedroom and living room, and the third floor is where she paints. Princess Huizhen likes to paint very much. The third floor is filled with her paintings.”
While talking, Qin Xiangxiang had already followed Grandma Yu into the attic. Needless to say, there were exquisite furnishings inside. Before going up the stairs, Grandma Yu told Qin Xiangxiang: "Princess Huizhen is afraid of life, please ask Mrs. Qin to stay a little longer." Be patient."
Qin Xiangxiang smiled and said, "Okay."
She didn't ask from beginning to end. The eldest princess invited her to the eldest princess's mansion, and then went into the attic to see what Princess Huizhen wanted to do.
Grandma Yu thought, Mrs. Qin is really calm. She couldn't say anything out loud after holding in her stomach for a long time.
Qin Xiangxiang, a young man, climbed in front, while Grandma Yu followed behind panting.
As soon as Qin Xiangxiang reached the second floor, she heard a slightly charming voice asking her: "Who are you?"
Qin Xiangxiang looked up and saw a little lady who was born like a fairy standing on the stairs on the third floor. She had flowing black hair and was wearing a beige wide-sleeved robe. A pair of flawless white feet were exposed from the bottom of the robe.
It turns out that this is Princess Huizhen.
Qin Xiangxiang originally thought that Princess Huizhen's word "Huizhen" was quite Buddhist. Now that she saw Princess Huizhen, she felt that if she didn't use the word "Huizhen", she would be jealous of the beauty. . How could a woman be so beautiful and so innocent? No wonder the eldest princess fell in love with Mu Ting at first sight. Compared to the prince from a distinguished family in the capital, Mu Ting is a better choice.
"I am Mrs. Qin." Qin Xiangxiang said with a smile.
"I saw you at the banquet yesterday." Princess Huizhen stared at Qin Xiangxiang with her beautiful eyes, "Did grandma ask you to come?"
Qin Xiangxiang nodded: "The eldest princess thought I was very interesting. Maybe she could talk to the princess, so she let me come."
Grandma Yu who was following behind almost stumbled when she heard her shameless words.
Princess Huizhen smiled: "Then come up quickly and let me see if you are really interesting."
Qin Xiangxiang hurried a few steps and reached the third floor. The third floor is just like what Grandma Yu said, full of various paintings. Qin Xiangxiang saw at a glance that in the painting hanging at the front, a young man wearing a black cloak stood on the curved bridge, looking somewhat independent from the world.
Princess Huizhen, is this a painting of Mu Ting?
Princess Huizhen also likes Mu Ting?
As soon as this idea came up, Princess Huizhen took her hand and said, "Do you like painting?"
Qin Xiangxiang shook his head: "I rarely read since I was a child, and I don't like painting. I like cooking."
"Cooking?" Princess Huizhen asked curiously, "Is it food?" She pulled Qin Xiangxiang to sit on the embroidered pier, her face full of curiosity.
Qin Xiangxiang is very patient with beauties: "Yes. Get up in the morning, cook rice, porridge and knead dough, pick up some pickled melons, and it's a meal; if you want something more hearty, mix some shredded chicken and steam some minced meat." .”
"Sounds interesting." Princess Huizhen held her chin, "I have never done this before."
Not to mention her, even Qin Wanwan doesn't have to do this.
"Do you want to give it a try, Princess?"
"No, I think it's very complicated and I don't like to do it. I just like to look into the distance every day, observe the stars day and night, and the interesting people in the house."
Qin Xiangxiang looked at the paintings. Except for the painting of Mu Ting, most of Princess Huizhen's paintings were scenes, with only a few depicting maids or attendants.
Alas? The one next to Mu Ting's painting shows a maid looking alert and pouring something into a teapot.
Qin Xiangxiang pointed to the painting and asked Princess Huizhen eagerly: "Princess, were these two paintings painted around the same time yesterday?"
"How can Mrs. Qin save this?" Princess Huizhen asked curiously, pointing at the maid painting with her slender finger, "The reason why I painted her is because I have never seen her in the mansion. I think she is probably new to the mansion. The maid looked a little clumsy because of this. Oh, she also served tea to a young lady in blue. The young lady took the tea and accidentally fell into the water."
Unexpectedly, Princess Huizhen actually drew the murderer who poisoned Cui Qingqing.
The face of the maid in the painting was not very realistic. Qin Xiangxiang asked Princess Huizhen: "Princess Princess, can you see her face clearly?" She was worried that the distance was too far and Princess Huizhen could only see a rough outline.
"You can see clearly." Princess Huizhen said happily, "My eyes are very good. The weather was nice yesterday. She passed by the hanging flower door carrying tea. I could see clearly. Her eyebrows were very thin and her eyes were also thin. Yes, but the nose is quite high. Oh, he doesn’t look like a native of the capital."
Qin Xiangxiang was surprised. Princess Huizhen had not left the attic for more than ten years, but she could tell whether a person was a native of the capital.
When she asked this question, Princess Huizhen smiled. She looked so pretty when she smiled.
"I like to draw, so I naturally study the looks of some people. But she was not very good-looking, so I didn't draw her in detail. I thought she probably lived in a cold place, so her nose was so high. By the way, she has a big frame, but she is very good at dressing up and covers up all her shortcomings."
At this time, in Qin Xiangxiang's eyes, Princess Huizhen was really like a shining treasure.
"Princess, can you help me draw her face?" She said with a solemn expression, "What the maid poured into the teapot yesterday was probably poison. The young lady lost consciousness after eating the tea and fell into the water. .”
"Poison? Why did she want to poison that little lady?" Princess Huizhen was very puzzled, but she still agreed, "Madam Qin, please wait for a moment, I will be fine soon."
The maid waiting aside immediately helped Princess Huizhen grind ink and spread paper.
Princess Huizhen is really a treasure, but in just a moment, the appearance of the maid appeared on the paper.
Qin Xiangxiang did not hesitate to praise him at all: "Princess Huizhen, you have made great achievements."
"But is it true? Can I achieve meritorious service with my skills?" Princess Huizhen asked with wide eyes.
"Of course, with your painting skills, it would be of great help if you worked as a painter in Kaifeng Mansion or Dali Temple."
Princess Huizhen looked at Qin Xiangxiang with some suspicion: "But grandma said that the world outside is very chaotic, and I can only go out under the protection of someone."
Eh. With a granddaughter with such a good looks, she understands the eldest princess's airtight protection.
But if the flowers are not red for a hundred days, even the emperor's house will collapse one day. How can the eldest princess guarantee that she can protect Princess Huizhen at all times?
Qin Xiangxiang suddenly had another idea flash in his mind.
Could it be that the eldest princess thought she was extremely smart and therefore asked her to accompany Princess Huizhen?
