The prince had to stop, put one hand behind his back, and stood on the corridor: "Xuan."
Aunt Yu hurried forward, saluted, and presented a small box with both hands.
"His Royal Highness, be safe! The empress heard that His Highness broke a jade ring to protect him, so she specially picked a new jade ring and rushed it to Wanchan Temple. Please preside over the consecration. She sent it down the mountain early this morning without passing the hands of others, and directly Send it to His Highness. Please accept it with pleasure."
The prince's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
In the palace, there were the eyes and ears of the emperor and his mother on all sides.
He had just tasted the feeling of love for the first time. He just wanted to be with Zhen Qingyin all the time, and wished he could grow up on her. He had become a little more unruly in the past few days, and I think it had spread to the ears of his father and mother.
The Queen Mother was beating him, imitating her mother and giving him a jade ring, reminding him not to be greedy, not to be greedy for killing, not to be greedy for money, and not to be greedy for sex.
The key point when sending a jade ring at this time is not to be greedy for sex.
Don't ruin the innocence and reputation of this young lady.
Advise him to behave.
Feng Youxi opened the box.
The prince lowered his eyes, took out a gorgeous Hetian Jasper finger ring, and put it on his thumb. The coolness penetrated the skin and reached the brain.
Liaohuo's restless heart slowly calmed down.
The prince's dark eyes were cold, he turned the jade ring finger, and praised with a smile: "The size is just right, the queen has her heart."
Aunt Yu smiled and said: "The Queen is concerned about Your Highness's injury and hopes that His Highness will recover soon. She is also concerned about Miss Zhen's illness and has asked this slave to visit Miss Zhen."
"Go." The prince waved.
So, Grandma Yu passed the prince, walked forward along the corridor, and went straight to the dormitory where Zhen Qingyin lived.
The prince could only go back to the study and read the memorial.
The room was lonely, with only Feng Youxi grinding ink and adding tea to him.
Aunt Yu was the old man next to the Queen. Zhen Qingyin did not dare to neglect her and asked Du Ruo to bring tea to her.
She used to avoid Wei Ji and the people in the palace, pretending to be cowardly. Now she wants to compete for the position of crown princess. She can no longer act in the same way as before, but she can't overdo it, otherwise she will inevitably leave a bad impression on others. Different impressions.
The degree in between is really difficult to grasp.
Zhen Qingyin timidly made a respectful gesture, chatted about tea for a few words, and then gradually became more generous in words and deeds. She slowly raised her voice, and her soft and waxy voice contained a bit of dignity.
"Mom has a good eye. This tea is called Jasmine Fragrance Pian. My aunt has a farm with two acres of jasmine planted on it. When the jasmine flowers bloomed last year, I had a sudden idea. I followed the method in the tea book and took the half-bloomed jasmine. Measure the flowers three times and stop the tea leaves once the flowers stop. Use a clay pot to cover it with one layer of flowers and one layer of tea, then boil it in soup and dry it.
I collected three cans, one for my aunt, one for my mother, and one for me to keep for guests. Since scented tea is not popular nowadays, I only occasionally use it to make tea. "
Mammy Yu looked at Zhen Qingyin carefully. Zhen Qingyin always lowered her head. This was the first time she was face to face with Zhen Qingyin, eye to eye.
I saw that the young lady looked sickly and delicate, with no makeup on her face. She was as elegant as the astringent blooming jasmine in the tea cup. Her body was bookish and like the long-lasting fragrance of tea in the jasmine. She also talked about brewing incense tablets by herself. During the tea drinking process, a pair of eyes shone brightly and looked forward to it.
It's like he's become a different person.
Where is she still the inconspicuous, cowardly little lady from before who, even if she is beautiful, looks at her and thinks she is just a backdrop?
Grandma Yu was secretly surprised.
After experiencing life and death, the little lady's temperament has indeed changed greatly.
No wonder the Queen specially ordered her to take this trip, so that she could take a closer look at Miss Zhen's words and deeds.
Zhen Qingyin met Aunt Yu's eyes, smiled at her, and said generously: "It's rare to meet someone who is used to drinking scented tea. If you like it, I'll give it to you. Du Ruo, go pack two ounces of scented tea." .”
"How dare you, how dare you, I can't do it. The old slave didn't know how to taste the tea that the girl made with so much effort. He just drank it casually. Isn't it just a cow chewing peonies and wasting the girl's efforts?" Aunt Yu couldn't refuse the tea that Du Ruo stuffed into her arms. Tea leaves, he could only say with shame, "I will go back and borrow the flowers to offer to the Buddha, and also give them to the Queen to taste as a novelty."
"Mom is joking," Zhen Qingyin covered her lips with a smile, "I am worried that the Queen's love will not be repaid. If the Queen likes this bite and there are other flowers that she likes, Mammy must tell me quietly that I will make two cans this year. I am so filial to my empress and repay her love and care. Du Ruo, go and pack another two taels of flower tea."
The two chatted about home affairs again, and Grandma Yu left with two bags of tea in her arms satisfied.
After returning to the Spring Hunting Camp, she hurriedly changed into clothes stained with travel dust, went to answer the question in front of the Queen, and personally made scented tea to present to the Queen.
The queen tasted it twice and said with a smile: "She is a girl with a clever mind."
Aunt Yu then told everything she had seen and heard.
The queen's eyes were filled with sparkles, and she said: "I would say that a person who can never leave the prince in times of crisis, and who continues to draw swords and arrows for the prince, can be a coward."
How dare you slap the prince.
The queen recalled how the prince was lying on the bed trying every possible means to hide his swollen face, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
No matter how timid a little lady is, her temperament will always change after experiencing successive changes.
In the past, it was just that I was severely suppressed by the elders in the family and did not go out often, so I was always timid.
Children are teachable and have a lot of room for training.
Don't be in a hurry. If you look at it slowly, you will find that despite urging the prince for five or six years, he still doesn't seem to be in a hurry to marry a wife.
The emperor raised the curtain and came in. When he saw the queen smiling like a flower, he laughed loudly and asked, "What happy event makes the queen smile so happily? Aunty Yu, tell me too, I want to enjoy it with the queen."
Aunt Yu quickly knelt down and saluted.
The Queen sent Nanny Yu out, thought for a while, and did not mention Zhen Qingyin.
The emperor kept urging the prince to take concubines, but he was not active in making the prince concubine. He didn't know what his plan was, but he chose a noble girl from a certain family to be the prince concubine.
Zhen Qingyin needs to be given more chips to compete with the emperor's chosen one.
"I'm talking about the prince. I heard that the ladies from each family have prepared performances, dances, clothes, music, and chess. Unfortunately, the prince has gone to the palace to recuperate. Today, Aunt Yu went to the palace to help me deliver some things to the prince. I bumped into a few people. Your Excellency is so shameless that your daughter and granddaughter paid a visit to the prince, but the prince was not seen at all, and they all rushed back. If a family has a daughter, hundreds of families will ask for it, and in our family, if there are sons, a hundred families will ask for it."
The emperor laughed, his face full of pride: "The son who was raised carefully by the queen is certainly good."
"It's also due to the emperor and the imperial concubine," the queen asked tentatively again, "What kind of concubine does the emperor want to marry for the prince?"
"My son looks like me," the emperor caressed the back of the queen's hand, revealing a touch of tenderness on his rough face, "When you marry, you should marry someone who looks like the queen. She must be virtuous, tolerant, knowledgeable, sensible, and affectionate. righteous."
