Yanmenchun

Chapter 26

Princess Baoqing also saw yesterday that after Shen Tuchan went out at the banquet, the Duke of Ming, his mother and daughter also went out one after another. After she finished talking about her troubles, she asked: "The two women in the Duke of Ming's mansion yesterday Troubled you?"

Shen Tuchan thought for a moment and then told the whole story.

Princess Baoqing's face was very serious after hearing this: "Their family is really troublesome, why is this Zheng Cuicui more annoying than dog skin plaster!"

Shen Tuchan shook her head: "I didn't succeed in helping the Eighth Princess to harm me. It is estimated that I made a big promise in front of the Eighth Princess. It may be because of the promise, but also because I did not let her harm and angered them."

She put the written words aside to dry, and she didn't notice the ink stains on her sleeves, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Princess Baoqing has been pampered and spoiled. Except for a few princesses, no noble lady dared to make trouble in front of her, so she said: "Since it's not for no reason, why don't you find a way to forget it once and for all, or marry or kill me?" , so as not to have so many people thinking about harming others every day."

When she said that, Shen Tuchan hesitated a little, but the hesitation was only for a moment. When she looked at Princess Baoqing again, she said with clear eyes: "Mrs. It's good to be scared to solve the problem, if not."

"Then kill them as an example."

Princess Baoqing has not known Shen Tuchan for a long time, and she was a little puzzled: "Aren't you afraid? What if you are killed by them?"

How can you not be afraid?

Shen Tuchan's face remained normal and said: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. Princess, I cherish my life very much, and the kindness I leave to others will only decrease."

Princess Baoqing raised her eyebrows and nodded.

When it was lunch time, the lunch was placed in a small building in the garden. The small building was built next to a huge rockery. Standing upstairs and looking down, I just felt that the mountains and rivers were so refreshing.

Princess Baoqing only invited the two of them, a total of three people had lunch, served by more than a dozen maids, who served tea and water, served and divided dishes, and served to clean their hands, not even at private banquets in the palace. Several maidservants serve a master's ostentation.

The table was not big, and when the three of them sat down, Shen Tuchan was still thinking that there would be no room for eight dishes on the table, who knew that as long as everyone picked up a few chopsticks, it would be considered as having eaten, and the maid would take it down and replace it with a new one. Shen Tuchan roughly counted the dishes on the small table, and the people who came and went like this had already served more than thirty dishes, which was extremely wasteful.

She couldn't help but said: "Princess, what is this way of eating?"

The maid next to Baoqing Princess who prepared dishes explained with a smile: "The princess was weak when she was young and was very picky about food. The prince felt sorry for the princess, so he thought of this method to let the princess eat more. Among dozens of dishes, There is always someone who likes it. Later, the princess grew up, and this way of eating has been preserved. Don’t worry, Miss, now the princess only eats this way when entertaining friends, and the remaining good dishes are rewarded to the servants below. Nothing wasted."

Shen Tuqi was stunned by the side and couldn't speak. Princess Baoqing's favor was not groundless. The only one in Dajin who could compete with Princess Baoqing was Princess Ningguo in the palace.

Not to mention the study room full of treasures just now, even in this small attic, there are famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls, exquisite large coral ornaments on the small table, and the mat on the beauty couch behind the screen next to it is extremely smooth, touching Sheng Wen, when Shen Tuqi came in just now, he couldn't help touching the mat, and the maid who served him explained that it was an ivory mat, which was woven from ivory.

Shen Tuqi never felt that there was anything wrong with her background, but this time she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no wonder everyone is vying to be favored by the emperor, to have a higher status, and to marry better.

Princess Baoqing threw the hand towel on the hand of the maid, and pointed to the maid next to Shen Tuchan to ask her to give Shen Tuchan some dishes that she liked, so that Shen Tuchan could taste them.

This lunch was eaten for nearly an hour and a half.

After returning to Zhenbeihou's Mansion, Shen Tuqi talked to Fang in amazement about the large lotus pond in the garden of Prince Gong's Mansion, the exquisite ivory mats in the small rockery building, a dozen maids and more than [-] dishes for lunch.

Fang patted her head and said, "Sister Qi also wants to be friends with princesses and princesses?"

Shen Tuqi thought for a while and said, "I'm not as smart as the big sister, and I can please them, so that's all. The big sister will take me with me."

Fang patted her head and stopped talking.

On Shentuchan's side, Xiaoman told her that the eighth princess had issued an edict to her today, and that the eighth princess would have a banquet in her princess mansion, inviting princes and noble daughters, and all the ladies have fun, Shentuchan is good at the pipa, go play it Playing the pipa is also good.

This is humiliating Shen Tuchan.

After Xiao Man finished speaking angrily, Shen Tuchan sat down as if she didn't hear.

She couldn't help asking: "Miss, aren't you angry that the eighth princess bullies people like this?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head: "Is this bullying? The big show is at the banquet. The Eighth Princess and Zheng Cuicui are probably thinking that I will never return this time."

Shocked, Xiao Man walked directly to her side, and said nervously, "Then why don't we go?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head again, and slowly caressed the cold scabbard of the piercing cloud and fluttering moon with her hands, without answering Xiao Man's words.

Not only to go, but also to go happily and with great fanfare.

Because she knew that the eighth princess didn't act kindly, Shen Tuchan explained to the old lady and Fang that she and the eighth princess had always been on good terms with each other. Last time, because of the dispute between the eighth princess and the master of Baoqing, she sided with the master of Baoqing Fearing that the eighth princess would be in a difficult situation when she said something, she didn't take Shen Tuqi with her.

It's not that the old lady was young, she knew how troublesome it is to get along with noble girls, so she nodded and told her to be careful.

Fang's complexion was not very good-looking, but she couldn't decide, so she could only nod along. Seeing that she was absent-minded, Shen Tuchan didn't explain too much.

On the way out of the mansion, Chunfen couldn't help but worry and said: "Miss, Third Madam, does she have a prejudice against you?"

Even a careful girl could see it.

Shen Tuchan was still reading, and when she heard the words, she flipped through the book and said, "Let her go, she is an elder, if something is wrong, grandma will point her out."

Xiao Man was a little bit aggrieved: "It's not that the slaves are talking about people behind their backs. The young lady is so kind to the third young lady. She takes her in and out, and reminds her of the nobles' preferences. This time there is something, and it's not a good thing. In case If something went wrong, they must blame the young lady for not taking good care of the younger sister, and for the sake of the third young lady's good, they didn't let her go, the third lady really treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and doesn't know the heart of a good man!"

The spring equinox is more mature than Xiaoman. Hearing this, he quickly glared at Xiaoman, and comforted Shen Tuchan: "Miss San is getting older every day. The third master is not a high status after all. The third lady wants the third lady to show her face in Beijing. You can do it if you are in a hurry." I understand, just like the young lady said, the old lady is watching, if she has something wrong, the old lady will restrain her."

Shen Tuchan nodded dispensably, as if she didn't take this matter to heart.
