Harem for a living

Chapter 175

After sending the emperor to court in the morning, Chen Manrou had breakfast with Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, and then sent Xiao Si to school.After Concubine Shu and the others came over, they took Xiao Wu to Ci'an Palace to pay their respects.

The eldest princess arrived early, and she was very affectionate when she saw Xiao Wu.

Chen Manrou looked at the clothes on the Eldest Princess, and said with a smile: "The clothes on the Eldest Princess look good today? Are they made of the Shu brocade that I paid tribute to a few days ago? I still have some there, and I will send them to the Eldest Princess later. Make another pair of breastplates to wear with it."

"You can keep it for yourself, and you can make one for Xiaowu. Yi'an has a lot of clothes, and Ai's family just had a dress made for her a few days ago." Empress Dowager Ci'an said with a smile, the eldest princess Smiling brows and eyes curved: "The emperor's grandmother loves me the most, and the queen mother also loves me. My clothes are indeed very good, so I don't need to add more."

Concubine Shu joked on the side: "The eldest princess is beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes are just like my sister's, they are all extremely delicate, she wears nice clothes, just like a fairy girl, she is very cute, the empress dowager and the empress The empress is naturally willing to dress up as a big princess."

Concubine Hui and Concubine De didn't speak. Naturally, Concubine Hui's third princess is not as good as the Eldest Princess. She has already given the Eldest Princess a lot of face by not saying sour words. If you want her to exaggerate the Princess, then Let's wait until her third princess gets this kind of treatment.

Concubine De is even more unwilling to support the eldest princess, thinking that she has been suppressing her all the time, and now the second princess under Concubine De's lap is cowardly and cowardly, nothing can compare with the eldest princess, so she doesn't bother to talk .

Lan Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Sister Concubine Shu is right. The princess has always been liked by people, and people can't wait to give all the good things to the princess. The fourth princess of the concubine came to the princess. She is compared to a little maid."

The eldest princess looked up at Lan Zhaoyi, but did not answer.Although Lan Zhaoyi was a member of successive people at that time, both successively passed away, and Lan Zhaoyi's family members also redeemed themselves from Zhu's family early. I will not go to please the princess.

She thought that although she was not very favored, the daughter she gave birth to was also a princess with royal blood, but she was treated very differently from the eldest princess. She was already a little dissatisfied, and now she said with a smile: " Poor concubine fourth princess, not to mention Shu brocade clothes, not even a handkerchief made of Shu brocade."

The corners of Chen Manrou's mouth twitched, and she turned to look at Lan Zhaoyi: "I remember, that Shu brocade was also sent to the fourth princess, right?"

Not many Shu brocades were brought in this time, and even Chen Manrou only got three brocades.

Lan Zhaoyi rubbed the corners of her eyes, lowered her head and said, "There is one, but it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and I used that Shu brocade to make a piece of clothing for the emperor."

Chen Manrou was speechless, Ci'an didn't speak, and the eldest princess didn't know what to say.The room was quiet for a long time, before Chen Manrou remembered her duty of enlivening the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Empress Dowager, I just wanted to talk to you about the chrysanthemum appreciation feast you mentioned two days ago."

"Oh, you've made all the arrangements?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an asked very interestedly, and Chen Manrou nodded with a smile: "The post has already been sent out, Miss Ruyi came to tell you, right? It's scheduled for tomorrow morning, Just in time for a chrysanthemum feast at noon. It will be arranged at the Qianqiu Pavilion, and the Taile Department has prepared two songs and dances, which will also add to the fun. Do you think there is anything else you can order, Empress Dowager?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an took a sip from her teacup, thought for a while before shaking her head and said: "No, since you have made arrangements, Aijia will have to wait until tomorrow."

"Yes, my concubine must prepare well. Tomorrow, I will definitely let the empress dowager have a good time." Chen Manrou said with a smile, and the eldest princess was very happy: "The emperor's grandmother is going to hold a chrysanthemum feast? Then can I also participate?"

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, she was going to talk about Concubine Xian tomorrow, and it would definitely not be easy for the Eldest Princess to speak.However, at that time, you can also think of an excuse to let the eldest princess go to play elsewhere. Thinking about it, the Empress Dowager Ci'an smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. You can play with your second imperial sister and the others when the time comes. They are sisters, so we should get along well."

"Yes, Grandmother, I will definitely take good care of my younger sisters." The eldest princess said with a smile, and Chen Manrou suggested by the way: "In this case, why not invite a few more girls of the same age as the eldest princess? They are quite a bit older than the second princess and the others, so I'm afraid they won't be able to play together, so why don't we just find a few girls from aristocratic families to come in and be playmates for the eldest princess."

The last sentence was said looking at Ci'an, with a sense of asking, if Ci'an refused, then Chen Manrou would not mention this matter.

However, Ci'an thought for a while, if someone was with the Eldest Princess, then the Eldest Princess would definitely not always be by her side.So he nodded and said: "Well, the Ai family has heard from several Gaoming wives that their little girls are all good listeners, such as the Wang family, the Li family, and the Shi family. They are all good. Empress, go to the next one." Post, let them bring the little girl into the palace."

The smile on Chen Manrou's face couldn't be stopped, and she secretly gestured to herself with scissors, finally achieving her goal.

"Empress Dowager, don't worry, this matter, I promise to take care of it for you." Chen Manrou promised with a smile, Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at Chen Manrou and nodded slightly: "The Ai family is always very at ease when you do things. Alright, it's getting late now, and Ai's family is a little tired, so you guys should leave."

Concubine Shu and the others had a look of disappointment on their faces. It seemed that they were about to go down at this moment, and the emperor was coming.However, he was about to leave.

Chen Manrou got up first, saluted the Empress Dowager Ci'an respectfully, and then left the door.Concubine Shu and the others had no reason to stay any longer, so they all left one by one.

The eldest princess leaned against the Empress Dowager Ci'an, beckoned her eldest maid to come over, and then took a cloth bag from the eldest maid, opened it, revealing the forehead inside: "Grandmother, this is the honor of your granddaughter, you Do you like it or not?"

The forehead is stone blue, with golden blessing characters embroidered on it, rubies in the middle, and auspicious clouds embroidered on the bottom and top edges.The embroidery is very delicate.The Empress Dowager took it in her hand and flipped through it twice, her smiling eyes narrowed: "That's right, Yi'an's embroidery is getting better and better."

As he said that, he put down his forehead and took the princess's hand, saying meaningfully: "It's just a matter of sewing, Yi'an can just have fun for a while on weekdays, don't take it as a serious matter. You are the princess of the Tian family, these things Ah, since someone will do it for you, you just need to know how to do it, but no one can let you do the sewing."

"The granddaughter understands, isn't the granddaughter honoring the emperor's grandmother? Even the granddaughter of the mother's mother didn't do it." The eldest princess said with a red face, and the smile on Ci'an's face deepened, and she took the eldest princess to teach him a few more times. sentence.

Not long after, a notification came from outside, saying that the emperor had come.Ci'an let go of the eldest princess's hand, turned to look at the door, and saw the emperor entering the door wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, while walking, the golden dragon on the hem of the clothes was swimming as if alive.

"Son, pay respects to the Queen Mother." Standing in front of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, the emperor made a bow, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an quickly pulled him up: "Sit down quickly, the emperor just came down to court, have you had breakfast yet?"

The eldest princess then stepped forward to greet Ann, and then stood quietly aside.

Before going to court, the emperor had to have breakfast first.It's just that it takes a long time to go up, so you have to use it again when you come back.

Hearing Ci'an's question, the emperor smiled and shook his head: "I'm thinking about the pigeon soup here, and I'll come here as soon as I go to court. If the queen still has it, why don't I give my son a bowl?"

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was teased and laughed, she glanced at the eldest princess and said with a smile: "You two, father and daughter, really look alike, Yi'an is still thinking about my breakfast here, so hurry up and make up for it .”

"That's why the food here is delicious. If it's someone else, I won't worry about it." The eldest princess said coquettishly, the emperor turned to look at the eldest princess: "Yi'an looks good today, you are a filial person, If you have free time on weekdays, come and spend time with your imperial grandmother."

"Yes, father, even if father doesn't say anything, the daughter will come to accompany the emperor's grandmother every day." With a bright and innocent smile on her face, the eldest princess went to the emperor's side and shook his arm: "my daughter also I really want to be with my father."

As he said that, his face darkened for a moment: "It's just that Father is too busy."

"However, if the father doesn't dislike the daughter, can the daughter cook soup for the father every day?" The eldest princess looked up at the emperor with anticipation and admiration on her face. The emperor softened and reached out to rub the eldest princess Head: "For things like cooking, it is enough to have servants. You are the jewel in the palm of the father, and the father is reluctant to let you do this kind of thing. By the way, don't you like Miller's character very much? I just got it a few days ago A copybook of his, I will send it to you later, Father."

"Really? Father, you are so kind!" The eldest princess' eyes were shining brightly, and she almost jumped up excitedly. The Empress Dowager Ci'an and the emperor looked at the eldest princess happily.After the laughter, the queen mother talked about tomorrow's chrysanthemum appreciation feast.

The emperor took a sip from the teacup: "The empress has already told me about this, as long as the empress is happy."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "If there is something missing, or if there is a shortage of manpower, the queen mother can just tell me, and I will send someone to bring it to you."

"That's good. The Ai family will let them enter the palace tomorrow. Is the emperor hungry? Nanny Ping, you have someone prepare breakfast." The Empress Dowager Ci'an was even happier, feeling that in her son's heart, the empress's weight That's it.She sang chrysanthemums all over her smiling face, turned her head and told Nanny Ping, and Nanny Ping responded and went down to prepare.

After breakfast, the emperor went back to Qianqing Palace, the eldest princess went back to the West Third House, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an went to the apse.The third prince has also started to go to school, and he is not here now, otherwise, the emperor can also let the emperor see the third prince.

While regretting, the Empress Dowager Ci'an took the Buddhist scriptures and handed them to the maid behind her, motioning for her to start reading.In his heart, he was thinking about how to speak tomorrow, and it would be best if the queen could not utter a word of objection, and agreed immediately.
