When the little palace maid saw Qin Rushuang's expression changed, she thought she had said something wrong and quickly begged for mercy, "Princess, don't blame me. Maybe I am ignorant and made too much fuss. There are many nobles and carriages at the feet of the Emperor of Kyoto."
It’s also normal.”
Qin Rushuang shook her head, lowered her eyes and said, "Maybe you are right, there is indeed something going on in the palace today."
Seeing that Qin Rushuang was so easy to talk to, the little girl asked tentatively, "Princess, we have just left the palace for a while and are still very close to the palace. Do you want to ask the driver to turn the horse around and go back to the palace to have a look?"
Qin Rushuang looked out at the bustling street through the window of the carriage. Although she felt a little strange in her heart, she still lowered her head, picked up a book and started reading again.
"Forget it, since some people in the palace hope that I won't go back today, then I won't go back."
The carriage stopped and went, originally planning to go to Qian Ertong's house, but Qin Rushuang had been restless, and even the little palace maid noticed that she was strange. Qin Rushuang was afraid that her strange mood would affect Qingzhi, so she asked the coachman to turn her around.
I turned a corner and didn't go to Qian Ertong's house, but went to the busiest street for a stroll.
She got off the carriage and took the little palace maid with her, preparing to buy some novel gadgets for Linbao.
Although the palace has everything, including good food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are also many small things among the people that are not available in the palace.
Linbao is at the age of curiosity now. If you buy him some gadgets, Linbao will definitely be happy.
The little palace maid learned about Qin Rushuang's thoughts, so she picked up the vendors selling children's toys and looked at them. When she saw something good-looking, she asked Qin Rushuang what she meant.
Because she was outside the palace, the little maid called Qin Rushuang "Miss."
She picked up a nine-link ring and asked Qin Rushuang: "Miss, look at this nine-link ring. Although it is played by older children, the young master is so smart that he can prepare it in advance."
The little palace maid kept chattering for a long time. When she looked up, she realized that Qin Rushuang didn't seem to be around or listening to him. She couldn't help but call her "Miss" in a low voice.
Qin Rushuang seemed to suddenly come to her senses, glanced at the nine-ring chain in the little palace maid's hand, shook her head and said, "My mother and grandpa bought this for her, no need."
As if to cover up her strangeness, Qin Rushuang turned her attention to the other little things on the stall.
This vendor was very clever and made some small animals out of straw, which were lifelike. So he randomly took a pony that he liked and said to the little palace maid, "Buy this, Linbao likes ponies."
The little palace maid gave Qin Rushuang a strange look and said, "But Miss, I just bought this."
Qin Rushuang frowned and rubbed her temples with her fingers, only to feel that the strange feeling in her heart became more and more uncontrollable.
I couldn't help but feel a little irritated, so I pointed at something at random, "How about that one."
"But this little boy stopped playing the wave drum after he was half a year old..."
Qin Rushuang sighed and knew that she couldn't concentrate on shopping now, so she said to the little palace maid, "Why don't we find a place to have a cup of tea and eat some snacks."
After saying this, without waiting for the little palace maid to reply, she walked forward alone.
As I said before, the little palace maid is still young. Although she grew up in the palace and knows that rules are the most important, her lively temperament will inevitably come to the fore after she leaves the palace, and she will become a lot more courageous.
Seeing that Qin Rushuang was restless, she said to Qin Rushuang, "Miss, are you still thinking about things in the palace?"
Qin Rushuang was not angry and said in a low voice: "There are so many things going on in the palace. If I have to take everything into consideration, I will have too many things to worry about in the future. Besides, some people don't want me to be in the palace today, so
I just won’t go.”
"Miss, you are wrong to think this way."
The little palace maid looked around and saw that no one was around, and whispered to Qin Rushuang, "The prince is about to ascend the throne, and you will also be canonized as the queen. Isn't this the royal land in the whole world, let alone the palace! You and the prince will be together from now on.
The master of the palace!"
"I really can't imagine that there are other things in this palace that you need to avoid personally. Since things happen in the palace, if you don't like it, naturally those who are not important should detour. How can you do that?
Are you avoiding seeing me?"
Qin Rushuang felt that the little maid's words had touched her heart, and most of the depression in her heart had suddenly gone away.
"You're right. I will live in the palace for so many years in the future. I am also considered the master of the harem. If anything happens, I should face it directly. But now, I seem a little timid."
After saying this, he ordered the coachman to lead the carriage and return to the palace immediately.
But in the palace, Xie Xun had been dealing with things all morning and was feeling dizzy when Grandma Yinghong suddenly appeared outside the royal study.
The chief eunuch came to report. Xie Xun thought it was a good time to go out for some fresh air, so he put down the book in hand and went outside the royal study.
After meeting Xie Xun, Aunt Yinghong said to Xie Xun: "The cook in the kitchen of the imperial concubine's palace has developed some new snacks today. If the prince is free, would you like to try them?"
Xie Xun didn't want to go at first, but thought that Qin Rushuang liked to eat these snacks and maybe there might be someone who liked them, so he decided to go and have a look.
But when he arrived at the imperial concubine's palace, he realized something was wrong.
In the imperial concubine's palace, there were rows and rows of beautiful women sitting there, some chatting, some drinking tea and eating snacks.
As soon as Xie Xun saw this battle, he knew that the imperial concubine must have arranged for these women from aristocratic families to want him to meet.
As for the purpose... Immediately after he ascends the throne, he must be persuaded to open up his harem.
Xie Xun felt a headache when he saw these delicate and soft women, put his hand on his forehead, turned around and wanted to leave.
But behind her, Aunt Yinghong was already standing beside her, urging in a low voice: "My lord, your concubine is also under a lot of pressure. I have called you several times, but you still don't come. Today, the princess is not here, you
What do you mean by coming here anyway? Even if no one likes her, it’s okay to let the imperial concubine pay a favor to the ministers!"
Xie Xun thought for a while, the imperial concubine also had her own difficulties, it would be better to just deal with them.
Anyway, when the time comes, just say that no one is interested in it, so that the ministers can rest their minds.
With this in mind, Xie Xun stepped in.
As soon as he arrived, the imperial concubine immediately gave up her seat to Xie Xun.
While Xie Xun was drinking tea absentmindedly, he was thinking about how long he should stay.
Before she finished drinking a cup of tea, Yinghong suddenly walked over in a hurry.
"Oops! What to do! The princess is back suddenly! She has already come to the imperial concubine's palace and will be there in a short while!"
