After Murong Wei burned the letter with candlelight, he said to Rushi: "Tell your lady, I know about this matter. If you need me, please inform me in time."
"It's the master." After Rushi and Ruhua completed their tasks, they returned to Ningxi Hall.
"Miss, the master has already read the letter. He also said that he knows what to do. He will not participate in the affairs of the palace. He will send people to investigate secretly. The master's final instruction is to let you pay attention to your own safety in the palace."
The poem speaks truthfully.
"Well. We must ask the people in Anxiang Pavilion to move quickly. My father still has about a month. If it's too late..." Murong Xi didn't want to pass away like this after she just recognized her loving father.
"Yes." Rushi replied.
As soon as the matter was settled, Aunt Yu's voice was heard: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine of the Yuan Dynasty is here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Yuan Huang opened the curtain and walked in. Murong Xi was not in the mood to deal with her at all, but he had to stand up and salute her, and then said obediently: "Concubine Yuan Mu."
"Xi'er, today I'm here to talk to you about the day when I got the hairpin. It's a big deal to get the hairpin, plus you are a child who has just returned to the emperor.
Therefore, your father has given instructions to make it more lively for you. But, you don’t know something. On the day when you get your haircut, you need an elder to bless you. However, you also know..." Concubine Yuan Huang said this.
He stopped talking and seemed very embarrassed.
In fact, Murong Xi knew what she wanted to say and do. She just wanted to say that her mother had died early, and the Queen Mother was not in the palace, so no one would bless her. If Murong Xi didn't dislike it, she would replace her mother.
Do you want to bless yourself? No way!
"What does Concubine Yuan Mu want to say?" Murong Xi asked with a confused look.
"Well, you know your mother passed away early, the Queen Mother..." Sure enough, it is exactly the same as Murong Xi guessed. Can't there be something new?
In fact, Concubine Yuan Huang's performance was quite good. When it came to the queen's death, she seemed to be even more sad than Murong Xin. However, before Concubine Yuan Huang could finish her words, Murong Xi interrupted her.
"Concubine Yuan Mu, don't be sad. Xi'er will listen to your father on this matter." So, stop acting like crazy here. It's useless even if your voice becomes hoarse.
Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang was startled. Why was Murong Xi's reaction different from what she had imagined? Shouldn't she continue to say what she wanted? She hadn't finished speaking yet.
"That's good. Xi'er is a good and obedient child. By the way, tomorrow the palace maid in the imperial embroidery room will send you a set of clothes that you can wear on the day when you have your haircut. You try them on and if there is anything wrong with them, tell the palace maid to change them.
That's right." Concubine Yuanhuang did not continue, but changed the topic. Since she listened to the emperor, she would go to the emperor to talk about this matter soon.
"Make new clothes again? Xi'er has just returned to the palace, and the imperial embroidery room has already sent two sets of clothes. It's only been a few days, and I have to make new clothes for Xi'er. Isn't there something wrong?" Murong Xi
She asked in confusion. In fact, she knew that she could wear the light blue clothes on the day she got her haircut. If she felt uncomfortable, she could also wear the purple suit of ice silk. There was no need to make another one just for the day when she got the haircut.
.When the time comes, some people will definitely gossip and say that she is too extravagant.
"Xi'er is a princess, so naturally she can't just wear two or three sets of clothes. Yan'er also buys two new sets of clothes every quarter, and hairpins are very important to women.
It is a big event for me. Therefore, we must not give in." Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang gently persuaded.
Murong Xi nodded, pretending to be obedient and said, "What Concubine Yuanmu said is that Xi'er will listen to you."
"Then Xi'er, please rest first. I have many things to deal with personally, so I won't accompany you." Concubine Yuan Gui stood up and walked out.
Murong Xi didn't say anything about getting up to see her off, and watched her leave.
After leaving the Ningxi Palace, the Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang did not return to the Xianfu Palace. Instead, she went directly to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor. The reason was for no other reason than that Murong Xi had just told her to listen to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my concubine's proposal?" Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang asked gently in the Yangxin Hall.
"I understand what Xin'er said. How about you let me think about it first and then reply to you tomorrow?" Murong Yu prevaricated. Because he had not yet spared time to ask someone about Princess Yu's intention, so he did not expect it.
Concubine Yuanhuang came to ask him first.
"Yes." Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang responded with a smile.
"Xin'er, do you still have something to do? I'll see you again in the evening, so you can go first." The emperor began to chase people away.
"Then, my concubine, please retire." Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang wisely left the Yangxin Hall.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of the second day, the aunt from the Yuxiu Room came to the Ningxi Palace with the palace maid. At this time, Murong Xi was collecting the herbs in the flower garden, so after Aunt Yu brought them there, she turned around and went to the flower garden to look for them.
Murong Xi went.
"Your Highness, the aunt from the Royal Embroidery Room is here." Aunt Yu twitched when she saw Murong Xi wiping sweat with her sleeves.
"Got it, I'll go over right away. Mo'er and Linglong, please continue. Rushi and Ruhua come with me." After Murong Xi gave the order, he dusted off the dirt on his body and returned to the front hall.
"Slave, please see Your Highness the Princess." The aunt and the two maids bowed respectfully and greeted her.
"Please get up quickly. My aunt is really having a hard time keeping your embroidery room and buying more clothes for me. I didn't expect that when I get my haircut, I will need to make new clothes." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Go back to your highness, Princess. This is what slaves should do. Take a look first and see if you are dissatisfied with it." Aunt Yu said respectfully. However, after hearing Murong Xi's words, Aunt Yu stood aside and frowned, as if thinking
What to say.
"I can trust the craftsmanship of Yuxiufang. This dress is excellent. But..." The color is just too bright. She is wearing bright red clothes. She is not getting married, so why did she get such a set of clothes?
"The color was specially chosen by Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang. She said that your clothes are too plain, so I will make you a set of bright clothes while I'm still young." My aunt said respectfully.
"Concubine Yuan Mu is thoughtful." Concubine Yuan Huang is so thoughtful. Her mother died on the day she was born, and she even asked her to wear bright red on the day she got hairpins. What does this mean? You want her to stay overnight
Famous? It’s really lively, hum!
"Since the princess doesn't think anything is wrong, I will leave first." After finishing speaking, the aunt from Yuxiufang left.
"Rushi, put your clothes away." A cold look appeared on Murong Xi's face.
"Yes." Rushi put the clothes in the cabinet. She knew that his young lady would not wear this kind of clothes to attend the hairpin ceremony.
"Aunt Yu, you seemed to have something to say just now." Murong Xi asked.
"Yes, just now when the people from the imperial embroidery room came to deliver the clothes, the servant wanted to speak after hearing your words.
Then I thought about it, it wouldn't hurt to wait until the people left before talking," Aunt Yu explained.
"Yeah." Murong Xi nodded.
"Actually, the ceremony of getting hairpins is an important event for women, and getting hairpins is also a ceremony for coming of age. It means telling others that the daughter of this family has reached the marriageable age. Those who were previously engaged can get married on this day, while those who have not been engaged can get married on this day.
We must choose a son-in-law as soon as possible. And while you were talking, I saw that the clothes in the hands of the palace maid were red. You also know that the queen...so I want to remind the princess that you must not wear this color that day."
Aunt Jade said slowly.
"I have already thought of what my aunt said. My mother died in childbirth on the day I was born. Naturally, you should not wear too bright clothes on that day, especially red clothes. The reason why she did this was simply to impress my father.
The emperor hates me, and everyone will say that I am unfilial. Auntie, don't worry, although Xi'er did not grow up in the palace, her adoptive parents also taught Xi'er how to be filial to her parents. The noble concubine of the Yuan Emperor did not know that I went to ask for help today.
Father, on the day when I get my haircut, you allow me to kowtow in front of my mother’s memorial tablet and thank her for giving me life. Auntie, do you think I will be so stupid as to wear this red dress?” Murong Xi’s first appearance in the palace.
Aunt Jade showed her emotions in front of Aunt Jade, but this made Aunt Jade feel that the princess was really very sensible.
Aunt Jade smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is so sensible. I believe that the Queen will be happy if she is alive in heaven."
Murong Xi had already planned it. Anyway, she had a lot of clothes, but they were all in plain colors, which were just right for that day. White was the most appropriate, just choose any white one.
Just as she was thinking about it, a figure fell into her eyes.
"Feng, Feng Mingye? Why are you here again?" Murong Xi was thinking about clothes when Feng Mingye's sudden arrival startled her.
"Is there anything in this world that Xi'er is afraid of?" Feng Mingye asked with the corner of her mouth raised. It's a strange thing that a little fox can be afraid.
What a monster, why are you smiling? Don’t you know that your smile seems to be seductive?
Murong Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you here again?"
"Here, it's for you." Feng Mingye handed her a box expressionlessly.
Murong Xi looked at the box and then at Feng Mingye, and asked doubtfully: "For me?"
"Open it and take a look." Feng Mingye said softly after sitting down.
Murong Xi looked at him helplessly, and then opened the box.
this……
Murong Xi stood aside blankly, because there was a delicate white dress in the box. Of course, this dress was also made of ice silk, but the collar and cuffs were embroidered with phoenixes made of silver thread. Was it a phoenix again? But this dress was still beautiful.
It’s really what I want. Low-key luxury!
"His Royal Highness Pluto seems to like giving away clothes?" Murong Xi glanced at him and asked.
"I only like to give Xi'er clothes. I already know what happened today. This clothes was originally prepared for you. I planned to give it to you the day before, but you didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Well, I have no choice but to deliver it to you in advance." Feng Mingye leaned on the chair and said with a smile.
"Well, why is Pluto so kind to Xi'er? Xi'er has already arrived in the palace. His Highness Pluto lived up to my father's trust and brought Xi'er safely to the capital. So, what else is there to worry about?" Dare I ask Pluto?
