On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Pei Shan and Xu Yanxin were officially engaged, and the news spread throughout the capital.
Mei Min naturally heard it, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. If she had known that person was Xu Yanxin, she wouldn't have had to offend Jiang Qing, and she wouldn't have been unable to marry Gao Xian.
But it's okay, Li Jin is a coward and easy to control. Now the entire Wu Jinghou Mansion is apparently the old lady's housekeeper, but in fact she is the one in power, and even her mother-in-law wants to see her face.
In the future, she will completely control the Wu Jinghou Mansion. In an instant... Gao Xian should be back, right?
Mei Min subconsciously touched her belly. No matter what, she would never let Gao Xian have an easy time. He thought he could get rid of her by calculating, but he was dreaming!
…
In the palace, the sky was dark and the damp and cold atmosphere was everywhere.
Jiang Qing came out of her palace and prepared to go to the East Palace to see the prince. After walking through a slippery path, she saw that the scenery of the East Palace had been stripped of green leaves and was full of life. She suddenly felt that life was passing so fast.
She walked in and found that the room was warm but chaotic.
The whole bright room is filled with items, including jade crabs, jade jade with lotus title, mandarin fish carved with phoenix and flower biscuit, jade double tiger pattern belt decoration, bamboo carved Ganoderma lucidum Ruyi, blue and white alum and red bat pen, white jade pen stand with carved pine and cypress characters,
Underglaze red flowers, jade pots, spring vases, etc. are countless, all of them are rare treasures.
Jiang Qing took off her cloak and hung it on the shelf, and asked, "What are you doing?"
The prince looked up at her and said with a distressed look: "Pei Shan is engaged. I want to find some good things to give to him."
Jiang Qing paused for a moment, feeling like she was in another world.
But then I thought again, is it so fast?
She knelt down and started tinkering with the prince.
"You put pens, inks, paper and inkstones, paperweights, pen washers, and pen holders into a set and put them in a box. In addition, you also put the jade articles, jade pendants, and jade ornaments into a set and put them in a box. There is also the Yuhuchun
It’s best to give a pair of bottles instead of just one. If you have these, you can choose a few screens, insert screens, hang lights, etc. You don’t need to give everything in a mess, which will look disorganized. When you give it away, Pei Shan will not
Do you know whether to use it or put it away and pile it in the warehouse?"
"When you send someone to deliver it, you'd better say it's all for him."
The prince raised his head, no longer worried at all, and said happily: "Aunt Qing, you are so awesome."
Jiang Qing reached out and touched his forehead and said, "Then you can sort it out slowly. I'll go back first."
The prince nodded, and then said: "Then I will have dinner with you in the evening."
Jiang Qing nodded with a smile and went back to the palace first.
She took a look around the warehouse and saw that there were a lot of good things. However, she only picked out a pair of white jade and pomegranate pattern jade Ruyi, planning to give them to Pei Shan when she got married.
After doing this, she went to the small kitchen to keep an eye on it, and asked the palace servants to prepare two more dishes that the prince liked to eat. The portions should not be too large, so as not to hurt the prince's spleen and stomach due to gluttony, and it would not be good to waste it.
After midnight, Jiang Qing was waiting in the open room. The open room where the incense cage was placed was very warm. Jiang Qing leaned on the chair, smelled the incense, and took a nap for a while.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from outside, and came in close to the substitute palace maid Lianxiang, smiling and saying: "Master, the emperor is here."
Jiang Qing opened her eyes, but she was still confused. She didn't react. Why is the emperor here?
The next moment, the emperor and the prince were seen walking in.
It turned out that the prince was sent here, Jiang Qing stood up.
This is the second time the emperor has come to Qiyun Palace, and he found that the layout here is different from before.
He had never seen the chaise longue where Jiang Qing was sitting. The relief pattern on the table seemed to have been newly replaced. There was an incense burner placed on the small table. It seemed to be an old object. He didn't know where it came from.
The jade vase next to it is very beautiful, small and exquisite, and has a green plum in it.
It looks quiet and pleasant here, just like Jiang Qing's temperament.
Emperor Zhengxing sat down and found that the cushion was still round and fat, with a little white bear embroidered on it, which was indescribably cute.
But there are very few little girls who like to embroider bears. At most, they only embroider cats and dogs.
Emperor Zhengxing took it and asked, "Why do you want to embroider this?"
Jiang Qing served him tea and said shyly: "I saw one of the paintings that Mrs. Lu gave to the prince before. I thought it was very interesting, so I painted the pattern. It was embroidered by someone below."
Emperor Zhengxing nodded when he heard this, and he also remembered.
It seems to be a naive white bear. Wang Xiu wrote in it, polar bear.
The pen holder on the windowsill is also very interesting. It has a white jade lotus pattern and a dragonfly engraved on it. Under the curl of incense, a lamp is lingering in it. It is daytime now. If it is lit at night, there will be a slight candle light.
Looking out the window, it was foggy and dim, I guess there must be a different artistic conception.
Emperor Zhengxing said: "I didn't expect that these gadgets like yours, Tao Teng, are quite unique. I asked Yu Deshui to give you the key to the warehouse. Go and see if there is anything you like."
Jiang Qing said: "No need, these are enough now."
Emperor Zhengxing did not force himself. He looked at the sky and asked, "Aren't you going to pass on the meal?"
Jiang Qing was stunned, does the emperor still want to stay for dinner?
So she quickly asked the palace people to pass the meal around, wondering if the emperor felt lonely eating alone today? Or did he come here specially to accompany the prince?
Usually I can't even see his face.
Soon, the dishes were brought out.
Because I didn't know that the emperor was coming, the small kitchen didn't prepare many meals. Apart from Mahua chicken, shredded duck, mussels and shrimp soup, the rest were ordinary side dishes. Because Jiang Qing likes to eat stir-fried cabbage, the small kitchen also made them today.
A plate.
But coincidentally, Emperor Zhengxing also loved to eat. The two of them went back and forth over the plate of cabbage without giving in.
Finally, the prince couldn't help but asked: "Why don't you like eating meat?"
I don’t understand, the meat is so fragrant?
Jiang Qing looked at Kuaiguang's plate and felt embarrassed. She put some shredded duck on her plate and said, "Eat it, I like this too."
Emperor Zhengxing did not follow the trend, he preferred to eat Mahua Chicken.
The meal was quite good, and the prince was quite satisfied. After dinner, the prince ran out to eat. The child ate too much and couldn't sit still.
Before Emperor Zhengxing left, the palace guests served tea and he was appreciating paintings.
They are all painted by Jiang Qing. There are pictures of spring silkworms. The spring silkworms on the leaves are chubby and crawling on the leaves, which is lifelike. There are also pictures of kingfishers in wisteria. The kingfishers are agile and very vivid.
There is also a statue of Avalokitesvara, a great scholar, with a kind and solemn face, as if made from nature, graceful and vigorous lines of clothing, fine and smooth strokes, and one can see the calmness of the heart and the calmness of the spirit. This is Yanya's brushwork. This painting can be regarded as
The beauty in the boudoir.
Emperor Zhengxing said: "You focus on yourself, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you have doubts, don't belittle yourself."
Jiang Qing's forehead seemed to have a big question mark written on it.
She thought to herself, I know, why are you still saying it?
It’s getting dark, why don’t you go back?
Your kids are all gone??
Jiang Qing looked at the sky outside, silently hinting at what?
