Chapter 69
: Should I be the prince?
There are no good answers, but they are only half-measures. None of the three brothers are ideal candidates.
Skull hurts.
The old emperor rubbed his temples, sniffed his nose and throat a few times, closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter should not be delayed for too long. After thinking for two days, he finally followed Wang Shoufu's suggestion and left the disaster relief matters to his second brother.
Before receiving the order, the old emperor gave instructions.
"Make good arrangements for money, food and supplies, and be sure to send these people back home smoothly."
Xie Chenke's eyes lit up and he hurriedly thanked him.
Disaster victims are a big deal and a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. As long as this thing is done beautifully, the reputation and prestige will increase, and the position of prince will be within reach.
——
Jiaofang Palace.
Xie Chenke came in person with the good news, and the old queen smiled happily when she heard it.
"After this incident, I will immediately write a letter to request a seal for you. It is estimated that the emperor will not say anything else."
"Thank you, Queen Mother"
His body was bowed like a shrimp, and his face was full of humility and respect.
"My son can be where he is today thanks to the support of his mother, and his uncle, the first assistant, also contributed a lot. My son will never forget the kindness of you and the Wang family."
This call catches people off guard, and the gesture is humble enough.
The queen frowned, thinking that maybe the second prince was a good person? If he was really bad, how could he have kept it hidden for so long? It would have been exposed long ago, right?
"If you have nothing to do, please go down first. Don't make any noise and keep a low profile."
"Don't worry, my son understands"
Xie Chenke left, and the queen sat alone on a high seat, watching people walking around the tea table.
"I hope our Wang family won't be like these two cups of tea. The tea is completely cold before people leave."
"Probably not", Fangrui nodded.
"If he wants to gain a firm foothold, he still has to rely on the empress. You have to spend too much time and energy paving the way for him. If you don't miss the old relationship, you'd be worse than an animal."
The queen smiled bitterly: "It's still too early. Let's take a look first. Be careful and be careful. Our Wang family won't fall so quickly."
Fangrui felt relieved.
——
The princes and princesses all congratulated Xie Chenke for getting a good job.
Xie Chenke didn't hide it, and thoughtfully gave gifts to all his brothers and sisters, very much like a big brother.
There is no need to state the meaning clearly, everyone just understands it.
Among them, Xie Jingzhi had the biggest reaction.
"After waiting and waiting, it finally came down to the second brother. This time the job was done well, so he should be the prince, right?"
"Oh, third sister, can you stop reading, aren't you tired?" Xie Jingzhi grabbed the picture album of the third princess.
The top is exquisitely embroidered.
The third princess who is waiting for marriage is embroidering her own dowry.
The queen didn't have any difficulty with her. She was talking about a certain young talent from the Hanlin Academy in the imperial court. He was familiar with the books of sages and had a good character.
Xie Jingrong was not of high birth, and her mother was just a talented person who died early. The queen took care of her and grew up with the four princesses.
Although she is not a wealthy person, she is still honest and honest, which is in line with her character.
I'm getting married at the end of the year, so there won't be any big ostentation, just follow the rules.
"How can I understand these things? Sister, please don't make things difficult for me."
The third princess twisted the handkerchief with her fingers, her face already flushed behind her ears: "I have my own things to do, I have to hurry up."
"Isn't it just embroidering the dowry? I'll have someone come and help you. How many embroideries can you finish?"
Xie Jingzhi didn't care very much.
Xie Jingrong blushed and shook her head: "Don't, sister, you don't understand. It's not good for others to do this for you."
Xie Jingzhi lost interest and threw the album to her.
"Forget it, forget it, I'm going to go and play with my mother. You can embroider well here."
Xie Jingzhi jumped up and ran away.
Xie Jingrong picked up the picture album, wiped the dust off it like a treasure, and continued to select patterns.
No one loves you, you have to love yourself too.
Her wedding dress must be embroidered by herself and the pattern must be drawn by herself.
Xie Jingrong glanced at red strokes one by one, and the image of her future husband appeared in her mind.
I vaguely seem to have seen him once. He is a tall and thin man with a delicate appearance and elegant gestures. He is as tall as a orchid or a jade tree.
As she continued to draw, the third princess's cheeks turned red.
The palace maid came to report that the second prince had sent something. She didn't care and replied: "Put it in the warehouse, there is no need to bring it over."
"yes"
——
Sixth Prince's Mansion
After receiving something from Xie Chenke, Xie Chenyu specially asked someone to bring it to his eyes for inspection.
They are all common fabrics, spices, jade, orbs, and there are also a few beautiful pieces of uncarved jade, which are said to be found in the northwest desert. They are delicate, oily, milky white, flawless, and valuable.
“This is good”
Xie Chenyu smiled and called Zhao Hai: "Take it out and find a craftsman to polish it and inlay it with a dozen East China Sea pearls. Use the craftsmanship of plain silver and dotted jade, and send it directly to Zhuxiao Courtyard."
"For Miss Lin?"
Xie Chenyu nodded: "She has the fairest skin in the whole backyard. Wearing such a good thing on her will not be humiliating."
White skin is not necessarily the most beautiful.
But with the same appearance, people with white skin will shine.
Zhao Hai thought about it for a while and then he immediately took his things and walked out.
I once again sounded the alarm in my heart: "Did you see that Miss Lin has not fallen out of favor?"
——
The backyard was silent for a long time.
Zhao Liangdi was sitting in her confinement, and Song Liangdi was favored from time to time.
Cui Liangren continued to shrink, while Liu Liangren was clumsy in taking care of trivial affairs. It was quite hard to get up early and go to bed late every day, but he did not dare to say anything.
The concubines did not dare to show off anymore, and for a while they did not even dare to visit the garden.
Especially Qian, she hasn't been out for a long, long time.
Lin Ximeng was the same, living her own little life behind closed doors in Zhuxiao Courtyard, rarely asking for news from the outside world.
But one thing she knew was that the Queen was in a good mood recently and her body was recovering quickly, so something was probably going well.
She doesn't know too much as a chess piece. Her mission is to report the news and take care of her body.
She had just returned from delivering a medicinal meal to the palace that day, and before she could even sit upright, Zhao Hai brought over a box.
Inside is a complete set of white jade headdresses, including hairpins, hairpins, earrings, rings, necklaces, etc.
The thumb-sized pearls are shining brightly, the delicate and oily white jade gemstones, and the blue and green dotted jade craftsmanship. The blue and white look very beautiful at first glance.
"Is such a good thing given to me?"
Lin Ximeng was surprised.
"Of course, His Highness also said that you should find clothes to match and wear them, and you are not allowed to hide them."
Lin Ximeng: "..."
Well, this man is quite domineering and even has to control what women wear.
After seeing off Zhao Hai, Qing Qing came back with a smile on her face.
"In my opinion, you are good-looking. There is no one in the backyard with such good skin and good looks like you. I heard that even the outer room is not good. You look good but you are short and can't hold up clothes."
Lin Ximeng: "..."
I have to say that the appearance of the original owner is really one of a kind.
It is too general to say that the country and the city are conquered.
To be more specific, the facial features are all flawless, and the combination is very distinctive.
It's not an Internet celebrity face, nor is it a popular face, it's just a high-end face with unique charm and indescribable features, but it also has white and glowing skin, and not even a single pimple.
No one can look at it without envy.
