Chapter 105: Different expectations and excitement
This night, little Fujin went to bed very early.
Before going to bed, the fourth elder brother was in Xinuang Pavilion with a book in his hand. He called Pin'er in and asked, "Is there anything special about Fujin today?"
Pin'er thought for a moment: "As for me, Fujin doesn't seem to have anything special except for waking up early and not feeling energetic."
Fourth Brother waved his hand: "Go down."
Returning to the corridor, Sen'er said puzzledly: "Fu Jin seems to be a little depressed after leaving Yonghe Palace."
Pin'er pressed her down.
The maid's voice left.
Brother Si does not blame the girls around Si Fujin. They are loyal to the Lord, so there is no problem.
He could have asked Ulanara himself about this matter.
I just don’t know why, but I couldn’t ask.
Little Fujin has always been gentle and affectionate, and the look in his eyes is full of affection.
But like yesterday...it has never been so touching with a hint of sadness.
What's the difference?
Compared with the sense of accomplishment of catching Monk Zhu's step by step until success, Xiao Fujin's eyes made Si Age feel a different kind of expectation and excitement.
This night, he fell asleep a little late.

Every year, the fifth princess's birthday party is held in a different location.
This is mainly "subject to" the specific arrangements of Cining Palace.
In the golden autumn season of September, the bodies of the two distinguished old men of Cining Palace always suffered from headaches and fever when it was suddenly cold but still warm.
When the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are ill, which junior would dare to celebrate their birthday in Cining Palace?
However, the Empress Dowager loves her granddaughter very much. Even though she is not feeling well, when the day comes, she will still choose a place and leave it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take care of it.
At the beginning, it was held twice in Yonghe Palace.
Later, choose a place in the Royal Garden.
There was also a warm winter season, when the two old men were in good health, and Queen Mother Bo chose the Cining Palace Garden.
This year, the Queen Mother has just entered autumn, and she has called the imperial doctor several times.
The concubines in the palace waited for him in batches, and even the emperor and the prince took turns passing by several times.
In this way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs chose the Imperial Garden as usual.
The Empress Dowager personally circled Shufangzhai: "Our ancestors told us that Chunxi rarely returns to Beijing, so we just take the opportunity to invite a good theater troupe to come in, so it will be lively and lively."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is naturally responsible for everything.
The fifth princess stood aside: "It seems that my granddaughter is still taking advantage of my eldest sister."
The Empress Dowager hugged her: "She is obviously borrowing your face. If Chun Xi were here, would you still dare to say this?"
Compared with the publicity in the Yikun Palace, the fifth princess who was born as a concubine in De and raised under the knee of the Ningshou Palace, this birthday banquet seemed much more low-key.
Although it borrowed the venue of Shufangzhai, the decoration was simple and elegant, and quite aesthetic.
There were not as many people as there were in Yikun Palace.
There were also concubines from the nearby Changchun Palace and Xianfu Palace who came to join in the fun, but most of them were dominated by young princes and princesses.
As the fifth princess's sister-in-law, Lu Pheasant came especially early.
The fifth princess, who turned twelve years old after her birthday, wore a pink dress inlaid with apricot gold and osmanthus butterfly patterns, and a white jade inlaid with openwork emerald tourmaline hairpins on her hair, which made her even more delicate and delicate.
As today's protagonist, she behaved in a measured manner, advancing and retreating with ease. When she saw Uranala, she said: "Good sister-in-law, you came just in time. I was worried that no one would stand up for me. Now that you are here, I feel relieved a lot." .”
Lu Pheasant thought to himself, Ulanara is not even two years older than you, and his qualifications for entering the palace are so young, how can he hold him back?
She smiled faintly and handed over the box prepared by Xiao Liangren: "This is a gift that your fourth brother and I prepared together. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
In fact, Si Age prepared it alone. She opened it on the carriage and looked at it, and she thought it was very suitable.
Lu Pheasant glanced at the table where gifts were received, and sure enough, most of the gifts were ancient books.
Some are full boxes of ancient books with high-end bindings, while others are dilapidated fragments, each with its own merits.
The fifth princess took a first look at it and said, "Did the fourth brother pick this box? When you look at the color, it looks so elegant and quiet."
Only then did Lu Pheasant notice that the outside of the box was the same color as the gift.
The little dear man is indeed attentive.
"As expected of her, she is your fourth brother's biological sister. She was discovered at a glance."
The fifth princess then leaned into Uranala's ear and said, "Actually, there is a little story here. One year before, Dehene saw it and felt that the gift given to me by the fourth brother was too plain. The next year, Fourth brother changed it to a box with a particularly gorgeous pattern. Guess what?"
The fifth princess couldn't help laughing.
Lu Pheasant followed suit: "What's going on?"
"I opened the first layer, and there was another layer inside, which was still very plain. But the fourth brother and I reached a tacit agreement not to tell Dehene. After that, I could guess which fourth brother sent it based on the box. .”
With that said, the fifth princess opened the box. As expected, it was still a book. She read slowly: "Song Porcelain has a test. Is it a test or a roast?"
Lu Pheasant shook her head. This was a fragment of the scroll, and she didn't recognize it.
The fifth princess flipped through it: "It's a bit interesting. The broad framework is to study the history of Song porcelain, and the detailed one is to roast Song porcelain. Thank you Fourth Sister-in-law, I like this book."
Lu Pheasant: "Take another look and see if you like the one at the bottom."
The fifth princess opened the compartment: "Is this... imitation Ru porcelain? It's such a beautiful sky blue color, it's actually the same color as the box."
Lu Pheasant: "It's a rare cracked ice piece. The Fifth Princess loves books, so the pen wash is naturally missing."
Fifth Princess: "Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law are interested."
The seventh princess on the side also sighed: "It's so beautiful."
Although Ningshou Palace ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to supervise the operation, there were no "adults" present. The troupe sang lively and the atmosphere was very good.
The fourth princess came late and got close to Si Fujin, so the fifth princess didn't bring anyone to make trouble for her.
Looking at the reddish eyes of the fourth princess, it was probably not easy to go out this time.
Lu Pheasant handed her some opera brochures and chatted about other things.
The fourth princess slowly adjusted her emotions.
Later, Concubine De came over in person and left quickly.
The eldest princess just arrived.
Fifth Princess: "Sister, Madam Huang specially hired a good team for you, but it will give us some advantages first."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "I have always been generous. Did the fifth sister know about it on the first day?"
As she said that, the eldest princess looked specifically in the direction of the Sifujin Ulanara clan.
She was late because she met Yinzhen outside and said a few extra words.
"Sifujin, I'm not here, did you help me choose a good show?"
Lu Pheasant said with a smile: "What gift did the eldest princess give you? Please open your eyes."
"You are worthy of being Xiao Wu's sister-in-law, and you even helped her get it. I couldn't have done without Xiao Wu."
"The eldest princess has brought good gifts, so she won't worry about running out of fun shows to watch."
…
The fourth prince, who was originally walking towards Yonghe Palace, changed his direction and thought about the news that the eldest princess had revealed to him intentionally or unintentionally.
