Chapter 215 Longevity Princess Comes to Taiyuan
The first boat to cross the finish line was the one that Chu Yu was on. Chen Xiuyan watched the whole process and saw the hard work and high morale of all the personnel, but she couldn't say how much of it was staged.
If it was just Chu Yu who ranked first, she wouldn't think it was a big deal, but for the following rankings, there are always young officials rowing in the dragon boats, so coincidentally they are ranked according to the official grade, which is a bit boring.
Chen Xiuyan started to eat snacks and drink sweet tea. Xi Muqin looked at Chen Xiuyan and smiled, "You also think it's fake, right?"
"The acting was very real, but the result was obvious and it was not interesting." Chen Xiuyan told the truth.
"Haha." Xi Muqin laughed, "You have the right temperament. In fact, I really don't like any of the banquets held by these various houses, they are all boring."
"But when you are in your position, you must socialize and give smiles. In fact, it is the same. We should all be happy that at least we have extra gains." Xi Muqin picked up the sweet tea and took a satisfied sip, "For example, these delicious ones
, and those few among the large group of people who want to meet."
The two of them ate and drank on the high platform for a while, then Xi Muqin's personal nanny, Aunt Xi, walked up quickly.
Xi Muqin's personal nanny is called Aunt Xi, and the one whose title has been taken away also has a Aunt Xi next to her. Anyone with a discerning eye can understand what it means at a glance.
However, Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised when she saw Aunt Xi, who had always been strict and polite, walking away so fast.
"What's going on?" Not to mention Chen Xiuyan, even Xi Muqin was surprised.
"Princess, Princess Changshou has just arrived at the mansion." Nanny Xi whispered back.
"Princess Changshou?" Xi Muqin was stunned, "Princess Changshou from the thirteenth emperor's uncle's family?"
"Exactly." Aunt Xi frowned slightly. She was anxious because she couldn't figure it out. Prince Taiping is the current Zongzheng and the biological uncle of the Holy Emperor and all the vassal kings.
In fact, everyone is just guessing what King Taiping and the late emperor's brothers have in their hands. But if there is any guess, there is fear. Therefore, all the relatives of the emperor are not respectful to King Taiping.
Although we respect him, we mostly keep him at a distance, especially the vassal kings. Otherwise, it would be handing the handle to the Holy Lord. But now that the granddaughter of Prince Taiping has come to Taiyuan Mansion, what does this mean in the eyes of outsiders?
Xi Muqin also pondered for a while. She couldn't figure out what Prince Taiping meant, but she had to treat people well. If something happened to Princess Changshou in Taiyuan Mansion, there would be a rift between Prince Jin and Prince Taiping.
"I'll go back home first, Xiuyan, you..."
"Concubine, I'd better go back." Chen Xiuyan stood up and said, "I'm familiar with Princess Changshou, maybe she's here to find me."
Xi Muqin was a little surprised, and Grandma Xi also looked at Chen Xiuyan in surprise.
"Then let's go back together. If Princess Changshou likes the excitement, bring her to watch the dragon boat together."
When Xi Muqin and Chen Xiuyan arrived at the Jin Palace, Princess Changshou was curious in the huge hall, looking here and touching, and she was full of energy.
"Princess, please rest for a while." Xia He looked at his young master and advised him.
"I'm not tired, why should I rest?" Princess Changshou spent a full two months from the capital to Taiyuan Mansion. It can be seen that the speed was very slow, and there was no fatigue from the journey.
"Where's Sister Xiuyan, when will you be back?" Princess Changshou finally returned to the chair and sat down, dangling her legs, her eyes and words full of expectation.
"Princess, you should call me sister-in-law." Xia He reminded.
"My grandfather told me to do whatever I want," Princess Changshou said dissatisfied.
Xia He stopped talking after hearing this. Hey, his prince is really spoiled by his mistress and is not strict about seniority. The prince is Zongzheng. Is this really okay?
"Princess, please have some sweet soup." The steward of Prince Jin's Mansion personally brought the sweet soup in.
"Is Sister Xiuyan back?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, but he suddenly realized that Princess Changshou called the concubine's name, "My servant has already gone to report it."
"Princess, the Crown Princess is back." As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, he remembered the message from his servant outside the room.
"Sister Xiuyan is back." Princess Changshou suddenly slid down from the chair, landed on her feet and ran out of the hall.
"Princess, don't run away." Xia He was so frightened that he quickly followed.
On the corridor, Xi Muqin and Chen Xiuyan had just turned a corner when a figure in red ran over not far away with the speed of a small cannonball. Xi Muqin was startled, but Princess Changshou passed directly past her and rushed in
into Chen Xiuyan's arms.
"Sister Xiuyan, you're back." Chen Xiuyan was knocked back half a step, looking down at the little man hugging her waist, with a smile on her lips.
"Why did the princess come to Taiyuan?" Chen Xiuyan straightened the person upright, squatted down and smoothed the messy hair of Princess Changshou.
"I miss Sister Xiuyan. I told my grandfather and he sent me here." Princess Changshou said proudly, "My grandfather said that I can stay here for a long time until I want to go back."
Princess Changshou felt the gaze from the side, turned around, straightened her clothes, and then bowed to Xi Muqin, "Hello, Auntie Princess."
Xi Muqin hurriedly helped the person up, "I didn't expect that she has grown so big. It seems that I just got the news of the princess's birth not long ago. I didn't expect that she has grown into a slim little girl now."
"Aunt Princess, Changshou is going to be troubled these days. I want to live with Sister Xiuyan." Princess Changshou mentioned her wish.
"Okay, the princess can live wherever she wants."
Princess Changshou became happy as soon as Xi Muqin finished speaking, and then spontaneously took Chen Xiuyan's hand and asked, "Sister Xiuyan, I heard from my grandfather that you gave birth to a little nephew for me, can I go and see it?"
"
"Of course." Chen Xiuyan greeted Xi Muqin, and then led Princess Changshou to her yard.
The group of people walked for a quarter of an hour and arrived at the backyard where Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan lived. At this time, Sui Ran was sleeping soundly.
Princess Changshou looked at the white and tender baby with some curiosity. She stretched out her hand and gently poked the tender bun's face. When she saw him snorting softly, Princess Changshou was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand. She was relieved when she saw that no one was awake.
tone.
"Sister Xiuyan, I will wait until my nephew wakes up before playing with him." Princess Changshou said very sensibly.
When the two of them sat down in Chen Xiuyan's outer room, Princess Changshou returned to her original voice level, "It scared me to death. I thought I was going to wake up my little nephew. My grandfather said that when the child falls asleep,
But you can’t wake anyone up.”
"It's miserable when I wake up. I cry loudly and it's not easy to get me to sleep. My grandfather said I was like this when I was a child." Princess Changshou stuck out her tongue and complained to herself.
"By the way, what's your nephew's name?"
"My nickname is whatever I want, my real name is Chu Yan." Chen Xiuyan said.
