dream of red mansion

Chapter 649
As a mansion costing 80 million taels of silver, Princess Xingyue's mansion naturally needs no elaboration on its grandeur and luxury.

Although due to the emperor's order, the construction period has been shortened again and again, but at any rate, it can be completely completed before this year's summer.

Now, the main courtyard has also been completed, and the number of workers has been reduced to less than a quarter of what it was in its heyday, and they are doing the final work of checking for omissions, repairing and embellishing.

Qibao Building, second floor.

Jia Qing looked down at a huge square pit in front of him, and listened to a steward's reply.

"Tie Gu Ah San has practiced Kung Fu from outsiders, and he knows the habits of lions very well. Don't worry, Er Ye, we have tried it many times and there will be no problems. They even said that they performed in the Western Regions before. Sometimes, in order to make the nobles look more exciting, in addition to making dangerous moves, they will also intentionally get hurt to win high rewards"

"That's good."

Jia Zheng came over with someone.

Jia Qing asked the man to go down, and he heard Jia Zheng say, "Qing'er, are you sure that Her Highness the Princess will come to inspect the Princess Mansion today? I have already led my colleagues from the Ministry of Industry to arrange the reception, but I don't know, why is Her Highness the Princess?" When can we arrive?"

"Master, don't be impatient. Today is Her Royal Highness's birthday. She should not come out of the palace so soon. We will just wait."

"Okay, then I will go to various places to check and explain, and I must not let them run into the princess!"

Jia Zheng said and went.

He attaches great importance to the role of monarch and minister, if the news that Princess Xingyue is coming is not from Jia Qing but from above, he will definitely move all the workers out in advance.

"When will the princess come?"

An hour later, Jia Zheng came over to question Jia Qing for the third time.

Jia Qing put down the cat teasing stick in his hand, turned his head and pointed to the distance, and said, "Look, isn't the princess here?"

Jia Zheng turned around hastily.This is the fifth floor of the Qibao Building. Standing here, you can almost see half of the capital city.

On the Imperial City Avenue in the distance, a group of bright royal ceremonies were walking slowly.The flags were fluttering, accompanied by a large number of court ladies and eunuchs, looking at its direction, it was heading towards the Princess Mansion.

Jia Zheng immediately ignored Jia Qing, and hastily called several low-ranking and ninth-rank officials under him from the Ministry of Industry to arrange a reception.

Princess Xingyue didn't want to put on a ceremonial ceremony at first, so according to her mind, it's best to sneak out alone!But this is what the queen mother meant, and she can't help it.

In the name of seeing her new home first, she made the empress dowager agree to her to come out.But the queen mother was worried that she would mess around outside, so in order to achieve her goal, Xingyue offered to let Minning accompany her on this trip.

Although Min Ning is young, but after all, he is a prince who has established a government and a family. After thinking about it, the queen mother agreed.

"Hey, have you arrived yet?"

Princess Xingyue sat on her phoenix, impatiently asking Min Ning who was riding beside her.

With a bitter face, Min Ning thought to herself that if she brought this aunt out, she didn't know how much trouble there would be.I hope, for the sake of the emperor's grandmother, she can settle down a bit today.

"After passing the street in front, we will be there soon." Min Ning said absently and perfunctorily.

"Xiao Ningning, you are not good! Tell me honestly, you told me that there are interesting projects in Miss Japan's house before, did you look at my aunt and I can't get out of the palace, so you told me on purpose, so as to make me feel itchy Isn't it?"

Min Ning was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly defended: "How is it possible, Aunt Xingyue, you must have misunderstood me. Min Ning definitely didn't mean that. If she meant it, call me and tell me to be punished by the tutor tomorrow. "Disciple Regulations" one hundred times!"

"Hmm, Miss Ben is too lazy to argue with you right now. Let's talk about your problem later. Let me ask you, is Jia Stinky in my princess mansion now?"

Min Ning's Muggle face was serious, but Princess Xingyue suddenly became smarter.In order to fight for leniency, he hastily surrendered and said: "Yes, he agreed with me in the morning to invite me to watch 'Human-Beast War', and he must be here now."

"That's Miss Ben's home, why should he ask you to see it?"

Princess Xingyue was very dissatisfied, so she urged her followers: "Hurry up, my lady is busy looking at her new home, and she won't be able to arrive until it gets dark. At that time, this lady will give you a hundred whips each."

Under Princess Xingyue's constant urging, the guard of honor arrived at Princess Xingyue's mansion at a fast speed, and from a distance they saw a few officials from Dachu kneeling at the gate.

Princess Xingyue was overjoyed, she ordered to stop before she reached the door, she jumped down and rushed into the mansion.

"Chen Jiazheng, welcome Princess Xingyue, and welcome the Second Prince."

"Get up."

Jia Zheng knelt on his knees for a long while, not daring to look up, only feeling a gust of wind.When you hear the sound and look up, where is the figure of Princess Xingyue in front of you?
Min Ning had expected it a long time ago, he stepped forward to help Jia Zheng and said, "Your Majesty Jia, you don't need to be too polite. Today, I am accompanying Aunt Xingyue to inspect the Princess Mansion according to the order of the Queen Mother Yi. I hope Master Jia will arrange all matters."

"The minister obeys the order."

Jia Zheng looked back quietly, only to find that Princess Xingyue's attendants had already chased into the mansion, so he knew it was because the princess was young and restless, and she was delighted to see her new home.Fortunately, he had already arranged everything inside, so he didn't take it seriously, so he respectfully invited Min Ning into the mansion.

Although Princess Xingyue has never been to the Princess Mansion, she looked up and saw the Seven Treasure Tower standing in the backyard.She had imagined this building many times, and she had even looked at it from a distance on the city wall of the imperial city, so she ignored the call of her escort and ran into the backyard following Qibao Building.

Thanks to Jia Zheng's careful explanation in advance, otherwise she would run amok in the mansion like this, and she would have bumped into someone.

The old eunuch Lu Fang was the chief eunuch next to Princess Xingyue.Everyone couldn't restrain Princess Xingyue, but he didn't dare to let Princess Xingyue run around by herself, so he almost tried his best to chase after her.

Unfortunately, with his old arms and legs, by the time he caught up with Princess Xingyue, he was already on the seventh floor of the Qibao Building.

"Hey, my princess, you don't take pity on the old slave, the old slave's body is about to fall apart."

Lu Fang leaned on the railing, gasping for breath.

Princess Xingyue ignored him and looked around condescendingly.From here, from a distance, you can see the imperial city and half of the people in the capital.If you look closely, you can see the entire mansion clearly.She could see Min Ning and the others walking slowly in the hallway of the mansion.
"Wow, this place is really nice, much better than the imperial palace! From now on, Miss Ben will live here!" Princess Xingyue exclaimed excitedly.

After hearing this, Lu Fang subconsciously glanced down. This glance almost scared him to death.

"Oh my god, why is it so tall, princess, let's go down, it's too dangerous here"

Lu Fang hurriedly leaned towards the room.After so many decades, where has he been to such a high place!
Princess Xingyue gave him a disdainful look, and said, "Old Eunuch Lu, you are too timid, aren't you?"

The other eunuchs and maids who followed also laughed in a low voice.

Lu Fang blushed, and although he quietly stood up straight, he still didn't dare to lean against the railing.
