Beijing Prince's Mansion, Fengyiting.
In the wing room, bead curtains are hung, and a bronze ice mirror is placed in the middle. White mist spurts out from inside, making the room cool and refreshing.
Yuan Chunsu, who was wearing a light-colored skirt, was holding a pen and sitting in front of the desk. There were light blue tassels hanging on her jade-like earlobes. The tassels were light and could slowly dance with the slightest breeze.
Under the corridor outside the house, there were about a dozen well-dressed women and maids standing together. They all stood with their hands tied and waited with bated breath.
Not long after, Baoqin, wearing a beaded hairpin and a blue dress, appeared under the verandah carrying a tray. After smiling and nodding with the women and maids, she walked into the house and saw Yuanchun concentrating in front of the bookcase. He walked closer and said, "Girl, The weather is hot, so eat some iced sour plum soup.”
As he spoke, he placed the tray next to the desk and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the embroidered handkerchief hanging on his lapel.
Yuan Chun saw Bao Qin's sweaty face and said with a smile: "You can have a bowl first!"
Baoqin chuckled when she heard this, scooped out a bowl and ate it herself. Although she and Yuan Chun were masters and servants, they were like sisters. Now that they were serving together, they had a closer relationship. Apart from anything else, Just for the sake of her being there a few times, it wouldn't be too much to drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup! After drinking a bowl, Baoqin suddenly felt that his body was smooth. He scooped up another bowl and handed it to Yuan Chun. He said crisply: "Girl, the weather is hot. It is really comfortable to eat a cup of iced sour plum soup."
Yuanchun chuckled lightly, put down the wolf hair in his hand, took the jade bowl, took a bite with the spoon, raised his eyes and asked: "Do you have any sent to the sisters?"
Baoqin nodded when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, girl. I'll have someone send me here."
Yuanchun nodded gently. She was very relieved about holding Qin. Now that her sisters were temporarily staying in the palace, they must be taken care of properly and not allowed to be gossiped about. What's more, these sisters are also members of her mother's family. They should be treated more favorably.
Thinking of this, Yuanchun ordered: "The weather is hot. You can tell me later. Don't worry about consumption. The supply of ice cubes in the sisters' house cannot be left behind, especially in the mother's courtyard. Not even a day can be saved."
Although ice is a luxury item, it is nothing to a palace with a big family and a huge business, especially to Princess Beijing, so there must be no neglect.
Baoqin knew Yuanchun's thoughts and said sternly: "Don't worry, young lady, I've been keeping an eye on the concubine's place. I ordered some more to be sent over earlier!"
At this time, the mother-in-law outside reported that the maid Yingluo by the prince's side had arrived.
Hearing Yingluo's arrival, Yuan Chun's eyes lit up, and he asked Baoqin to be more considerate, and then let Yingluo enter the house.
Baoqin responded one by one, and his willow eyes also looked outside the curtain. Yingluo was here, which meant that the prince had returned to the house. Thinking of the prince, Baoqin's eyes were filled with light, and he glanced sideways at Yuanchun, who was looking at his husband's stone, and his heart was filled with joy. Gradually, she didn't have any bad intentions, but she didn't know if she could one day dominate the girl and become the "master", just once. Yingluo walked in with lotus steps, bowed respectfully, and said: "The prince said that I will teach the girls how to ride horses today, and let the slaves come to invite the princess."
Hearing this, Yuanchun looked at the light outside the window and couldn't help but frowned. My husband was really interested in learning to ride a horse in this weather. But after thinking about it carefully, it was summer now. The weather was not very hot today. There were still clouds in the sky, so it was already a good day.
For Yuan Chun, she didn't want to learn horse riding, but Shui Rong's description of riding a horse for an outing made her yearn for it, so she responded: "Okay, I understand, I will come over later."
As he spoke, Yuanchun seemed to have remembered something and said in a clear voice: "Have you notified the third sister and the others?"
Yingluo heard this and said with a smile: "This slave has come to invite you, Princess, first. The third girl hasn't gone there yet!"
Yuanchun chuckled lightly, how could she not know how Yingluo was trying to please her, but she was not disgusted with it. She must know that Yingluo was her husband's personal maid and was extremely trustworthy. At the moment, Yingluo was trying to please her in every possible way, which also showed from the side that she was a maid. Princess Beijing sat firmly.
After a moment of silence, Yuanchun said: "I understand, you should go and inform the third sister and the others first."
Yingluo responded and turned to go outside after the blessing ceremony. Just as Yingluo crossed the threshold, Yuan Chun suddenly said: "Remember to invite Sister Qin."
Daiyu Courtyard.
Zicuckoo walked in with a tray and saw a graceful girl leaning on a soft bed with a book in her hand. She came closer and said, "This is the iced sour plum soup sent by the princess. Girl, please take some to cool down the heat." "
Daiyu nodded slightly when she heard this. It was a hot day, so it would be good to eat some iced sour plum soup. So she stood up and put down the book in her hand, took the porcelain bowl handed over by Zijuan, and said with a smile: "There are plenty of them, you can eat them too." Some."
Zicuckoo smiled, sat on the brocade pier nearby, scooped out a bowl and started eating. She felt quite comfortable. She glanced at the cold air emanating from the ice pan and couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a really good life. Shu Xin, it would be great if you stay in the palace from now on." Daiyu chuckled when she heard this, looked at Zicuckoo with her willow eyes angrily, and spat: "I bought you off with a bowl of sour plum soup, you are really worthless, my grandmother has another We have never been missing."
The Duke's Mansion is also a home where food and drink are heard. Even if the sun sets over the mountains, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and there will be no shortage of luxuries such as ice cubes in summer.
Hearing this, Zicuckoo raised her eyes to look at the girl, pursed her lips, and said softly: "That's what I meant, because I felt that there were less things in the palace, and there were not so many gossips. The girl's mood was disturbing. Much better.”
Moreover, the angry person is gone, and no one will blame the girl for this.
After hearing this, Daiyu paused with a spoon in her hand. She was a smart person, so she didn't know what Zijuan meant. She had stayed in the Duke of Rongguo for many years, but she was still an outsider in the eyes of many people. Anyone who did not follow the rules would be ignored. She doesn't say anything because she is a "young lady", but how to gossip to her in private is up to the wise.
On the other hand, in the palace, it was different.
After groaning, Daiyu said in a clear voice: "We are guests in the palace, how can we be negligent?"
After all, Daiyu and his party are guests of the palace, and hospitality is a matter of course, and there is no comparison.
Hearing this, Zicuckoo glanced at Daiyu thoughtfully, but didn't say anything else. Although what the girl said was true, she was not a guest in the Duke's Mansion. At this moment, a loud and charming voice came to mind outside the house, saying: "Sister Lin."
Daiyu suddenly smiled knowingly when she heard this. Isn't this voice the same as Yun Yatou? We just played together before, so why are we here again? She is really energetic.
After a while, Xiangyun walked in with Tanchun on his arm. Xiangyun greeted with a smile: "Sister Lin, my brother-in-law said that he will teach us how to ride horses today. Let's hurry over!"
Daiyu was startled when she heard this, and thought it was something. She was actually learning to ride a horse. To be honest, she didn't want to learn to ride a horse, but she just didn't seem to be able to refute her brother-in-law's face.
Thinking of this, Daiyu sighed in her heart. After all, she was living under someone else's roof. How could she not look at people's faces? Forget it, just go and sit there for a while!
Inside the martial arts arena.
Shui Rong wore a blue Yunxiang Talisman bat-patterned outfit with a rhinoceros horn belt tied around his waist. His black hair was tied casually with a silver ribbon. There was no crown or hairpin. A few strands of hair were blown by the wind on his forehead. Scattered, intertwined and flying with the silver ribbon, looking quite light.
Feng Ziying came over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
Since we are teaching horseback riding, all the horse equipment must be properly prepared, and not only that, the sisters are all women in the boudoir, so it is also necessary to clear the place.
Shui Rong nodded slightly when he heard the words, straightened the straps on his wrists, and then asked, "How is the guard training?"
Feng Ziying knew that the prince was very concerned about the security, so he responded: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are practicing every day and never slack off. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Shui Rong was satisfied when he heard this. After all, he was the one who was protecting him. He didn't want his subordinates to be just wine sacks and rice sacks. He groaned and said, "Ziying, the palace guards also need a team of firearms soldiers. You can arrange this for me. They started practicing."
It would be better to have more types of guard troops, and in Shui Xiong's vision, the future will be an era when firearms are king, so it is very necessary to set up a team of royal firearms soldiers.
Feng Ziying paused when he heard this. He understood that the prince valued firearms very much. Otherwise, he would not have specifically requested His Majesty to set up a department dedicated to the study of firearms. However, as a royal guard, he was basically a bodyguard, and the shortcomings of firearms were too obvious. Not suitable.
At present, the prince's attention was beyond his expectation, but since it was the prince's order, even if Feng Ziying was confused, he agreed.
"Brother-in-law."
Shui Rong turned his head and glanced. Not far away, Yuanchun, Keqing, Tanchun, Baochai, Daiyu, Yingchun and Xiangyun came hand in hand. Everywhere he looked, there were green feathers (End of Chapter)
