Chapter 77

Because the Crown Princess was incompatible, the full moon wine was not held in large quantities, so she only sent invitations to familiar families and several princes. The rest of the officials sent gifts and sent them away.

The Ninth Princess and her party arrived before the banquet was held. The Crown Princess was receiving her mother's family in the inner room. The Ninth Princess led Yu Xiang in despite the obstruction of the palace servants. Yu Miaoqi was thrown out of the hall by her alone.

The Crown Princess' voice sounded very weak. Obviously, the news that the circulating in the market about her serious illness was not empty and wind. I couldn't hear what she said, so her mother began to sob and choke, "Then let me rely on you, I can't lose my two children..."

The Ninth Princess jumped in, and the two of them hurriedly wiped their tears, and then greeted them with a smile. Yu Xiang was not as frightened as hers, so she had already ordered Taohong Liulu to push her wheelchair to the outside room and waited quietly.

"Sister-in-law, today is a happy day. Why are you crying?" The Ninth Princess looked down and stared at her red eyes.

The Crown Princess avoided her side, and she turned her face away. The sister-in-law chased me and played for a while, and her face gradually showed joy. The Crown Princess' mother felt much more relieved when she saw it, she stood up and said goodbye, went out of the door to see Yu Xiang, and smiled and went forward to talk.

When the Crown Princess heard Yu Xiang's sweet voice, she hurriedly called out, "Xiang'er is here too? Come in quickly." The two little girls were her pistachio and the other was her little lucky star, both of which were deeply loved by her.

After a few simple greetings, the Crown Princess sent someone to serve pastries. Seeing that her sister-in-law was burying her head, she looked at Yu Xiang and asked softly, "Xiang'er is familiar with the three sisters of my palace? What do you think they are in a state of temperament? I'm afraid my body is not good, and I always want to find a way out for my children."

Her condition became worse day by day. Her legs and feet were sore and weak that they could not move, and her lower abdomen was even more lochia. If she could no longer stop lochia, she might die one day. However, her children were still young, and they were thorns in the eyes of all princes and grandsons. How could she make her children grow up safely into a heart disease that she could not get rid of. Perhaps because she got a dragon and phoenix sign for Yu Xiang before giving birth, she had an inexplicable dependence on this energetic little girl, otherwise she would not have said such private words.

That's right, as the outside world rumored, she planned to choose one of her three sisters as the crown prince and step-consort. She had already made peace with the emperor and empress. For the sake of the safety of the crown prince and to check and balance the empress dowager's mother's family, the emperor and empress have already acquiesced.

Yu Xiang doesn't go out often, but because of the government affairs and because of her brother's eyes and hearing, she is a treasurer in the capital. However, in front of the crown princess, she cannot comment on her sisters' works. If she speaks well, she is flattering, and if she speaks badly, she simply says bluntly, "I'm not very familiar with each other, I can't tell you good or bad, but I know that people are selfish and cannot place their hopes on others."

"But my body is probably not going to last for half a year." The Crown Princess smiled bitterly, rolled up her sleeves, and let her see her as thin as a dead branch. After giving birth, the Imperial Doctor clearly said that it was nothing serious, but he expected that it would be a death in a month. God gave her a pair of lints but took her half of her life. It was indeed very fair. She had nothing to complain about, and she just wanted to arrange everything for the children before she died.

"Doctor Park..." Yu Xiang frowned.

The Crown Princess smiled even more miserably, "As early as when I was eight years old, I used up a chance to consult. The imperial physicians were helpless."

Yu Xiang was silent. Just then, the old lady walked in under the guidance of a palace maid, holding a pot of vermilion-like coral-like and trees. The old lady greeted the princess and placed the thing on the head of the bed, and smiled, "This is an evil grass, a plant from Nanyang, which is said to be able to remove diseases and make people healthy. But in Nanyang, no one has ever planted it before, it is just a legend. Xianger found a pack of seeds and sowed them all, and only planted it alive. Not only does it look good, but it smells fragrant. This is sent to the princess, hoping that you can recover soon."

The vermilion plant emitted a refreshing sweet fragrance. The princess's temples that were aching in a faint instantly calmed down a lot. She smiled and thanked the old lady. Because she couldn't bear to let the two girls get sick, she ordered Madam Song to take her outside to play with the noble girls from each family.

After leaving the house, the two did not walk to the crowded back garden. Instead, they followed the path to a quiet pavilion and were about to say something private. As soon as they sat down, they heard a series of footsteps coming slowly. The two turned their heads and looked back, and they met their long and narrow eyes.

The Ninth Princess's cheeks flushed and she was at a loss. The person who came was also very surprised, with an excited expression in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down, bent down and bowed and prepared to leave.

"You, don't leave!" Princess Ninth stood up and shouted anxiously.

The man was also reluctant to leave. He stopped immediately after hearing this, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yu Xiang frowned slightly, "What is the princess who keeps him? This is the backyard. He is a man who is a man who trespassed into the backyard. Can he take responsibility if he hits a noble man?" After speaking, he looked at the extremely handsome young man and scolded him sternly, "Master Princess doesn't care about you a lot, why don't you get out of here!"

Shen Yuanqi pursed his lips and pointed to a courtyard gate not far away and said, "Princess, you have passed that corner gate and you will enter the front yard." He pointed to a small building hidden in layers of green shade behind the pavilion, bowed and bowed, "That is the Prince's Study Room, only 500 meters away from here, so this is the front yard. I didn't expect the princess and Miss Yu to rest here. If there is any collision, please forgive me."

Yu Xiang had only been to the Prince's Mansion a few times, but he didn't remember the layout in the mansion. He looked at the Ninth Princess with an inquiring look.

The Ninth Princess's heart and eyes were full of the handsome young man's face, a gentle smile, a low voice, her cheeks were congested and her mind was chaotic. Where could she receive the questions she had raised, she just smiled silly.

When the Ninth Princess was six years old, she ran to the Golden Palace to look for her father with tears in her nose. She was full of rampant masters in the palace. Who dared to stop him when he arrived at the Prince's Mansion? The servant guarding the gate saw that the person was the Ninth Princess and Miss Yu, so he hurriedly avoided it and pretended that he had not seen it, which caused a misunderstanding.

Yu Xiang realized that when he saw the top scholar bowing and waiting for punishment, he felt so embarrassed. He was silent for a moment and covered his mouth and smiled, "Mr. Shen, please get up quickly. We were having fun with Mr. Shen just now. Don't blame me."

It's so stubborn. Shen Yuanqi almost laughed out loud, lowered his head and held back for a while before saying that he didn't dare.

He was obviously worried that he would trek into the backyard for the guard to take it, but he pretended to be fierce and scolded him, and then he wanted to let himself go. His temperament was still so awkward and cute. Thinking of this, his mood became brighter and his previously dark eyes looked very bright at this moment.

The Ninth Princess then came to her senses and waved her fat hand and shouted, "Mr. Shen, come here, I'll treat you to chestnuts. It was the chef of the imperial kitchen who made the candy fried chestnuts with a secret method, which was so fragrant." While saying that, she took out a few round, large, and shiny chestnuts from her purse.

This tone of coaxing the child made Shen Yuanqi laugh and cry. If he had been guilty and left, Yu Xiang was there now, so he was extremely reluctant to let it go. He was still struggling in his heart. His legs and feet had already stepped into the pavilion, and he had already sat down when he came back to his senses.

The Ninth Princess was overjoyed and took a yellow chestnut with her own hands and handed it over.

Shen Yuanqi hurriedly thanked and took it.

In terms of face, Yu Xiang is not inferior to Yu Miaoqi. At this moment, he has already gotten rid of his embarrassment and asked with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and several princes are all in the front hall. If you don't go over and curry favor, why are you here to come?"

Shen Yuanqi's heart moved slightly and said bluntly, "Miss Yu must have heard that I was originally a slave to the Xue family and was not a descendant of the rich clan. With my background, I should not taint the eyes of all noble people. I would rather hide here and be free."

"It turns out that the rumors are true." Yu Xiang nodded suddenly.

When the Ninth Princess saw that he was alone and avoiding this place, she felt very sad for some reason, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Yu Xiang glanced at her expression from the corner of his eyes and said with some amusement, "Mr. Shen doesn't feel anything, why are you sad? Lord. Fang, the general of the state-controlled country, was born as an Imperial Manus. The famous Canghai Envoy was a eunuch. Lord Lin, who was the official left prime minister at the time of Emperor Gaozu, once served as a turtle slave..."

She counted seven or eight famous people with prominent official positions but lowly backgrounds in one breath, and joked, "When it comes to the top ten inspiring officials of our Han Dynasty, Lord Shen can't even rank, so he needs to have a more tragic life experience."

The Ninth Princess's eyes were no longer red, and she felt less sad.

Shen Yuanqi pursed his lips hard to restrain the rising smile in his heart. The little girl's method of comforting people is always so unique.

Yu Xiang snatched a chestnut from the ninth princess and threw it into his mouth, smiling, "Everyone in the world says that Lord Shen is a humble person, but he doesn't know that this humble person has the advantage of being humble. Who can enter the prince's mansion to attend the banquet today is not a big shot? A sesame official like Shen Zhuangyuan, if you don't even know that he can't even touch the cracks in the door. With the blue eyes of His Royal Highness and the Emperor, Lord Shen will follow the path of the officialdom."

Shen Yuanqi smiled but said nothing, but sighed in his heart: It was indeed his sister Shen Yuanqi, and his vision was much higher than Yu Miaoqi. Yu Miaoqi thought that spreading his life experience would ruin his career, so how could the emperor use him so much because of his life experience? Now all the nobles in the capital are avoiding him like snakes and scorpions. Those who originally planned to marry the Xue family had no news, and they were planning to isolate him.

In this way, wouldn’t the emperor feel more at ease with him as a lonely minister without any background? The prince who has always been in the same position as the emperor will naturally be treated with special favors. Now he seems to be in a down-and-out manner, but in fact he will be smooth in the future. After all, he has to thank Yu Miaoqi in reverse.

After hearing this, the Ninth Princess was completely relieved and stammered with the top scholar.

The author has something to say: I finally made no mistake today, just wipe my sweat.
