hi, mistress sees you

Shen Shizheng, the dance and music are over for the time being, and it's time to present gifts.

A few years ago, Lu Jing'an was not in the capital, but the things she sent all over the place were all out of the limelight, such as rare treasures from the South China Sea, treasures from the Beirong, whatever rare things she sent, and she followed in her footsteps, so it's a good name The treasures of the world that the son personally found for the father.This alone, not to mention the preciousness of those rare treasures, just her heart is enough to make the emperor Longyan happy.

Last year, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess presented the Strange Stone from the Heavens and Earth that she obtained from Beirong. This year she returned to Beijing, and many people were curious about what she would present this year.

What the second prince prepared was a painting by the masters of the previous dynasty. It is not circulated much now, but it is very popular among literati.Originally, Lu Jingcheng was still full of confidence, but he only got a few compliments from the emperor. He was not reconciled, his eyes flicked across the field, and stopped at Lu Jingan who was nibbling on the pastry, and said with a smile: "The treasures that Jinghe presented in the past few years were all loved by the emperor. I wonder what kind of New Year's gift the imperial sister has prepared for this year?"

ha?Lu Jingan was slightly taken aback when she was called out suddenly, but she remained calm, swallowed the cake in her mouth slowly, took another sip of tea, and raised her eyebrows until the second prince's face was slightly annoyed, and said arrogantly: " The imperial girl originally thought that the gifts prepared this time would be enough for the grand finale, and giving them out in advance might make your gifts less easy to get, so is the imperial brother so impatient to see it?"

The second prince's face was slightly green, and he said this very bluntly, "Since the imperial sister is so confident, let's invite her first."

"Oh? Jinghe said that, I'm really curious." Emperor Yongjia thought of the yearly gifts and birthday gifts offered by the outstanding eldest daughter in the past few years, and his curiosity arose in his heart. Let me see."

After the emperor said that, Lu Jingan was no longer polite, stood up and answered his promise with a smile, clapped his hands, and someone presented him with something that looked like a screen covered by a red cloth.

"Shouldn't the birthday gift from the imperial sister be a screen?" The second prince asked with a half-smile. Screens are not unusual in the palace.

Lu Jingan glanced at him, did not answer, went forward to remove the red cloth himself, turned and knelt down and said, "Father, my son has been away from home for several years, and personally measured the magnificent rivers and mountains of my Daxia with his feet. Feeling something, I specially ordered someone to burn this glazed landscape painting, and I hope my father will like it."

The red cloth was removed, revealing a magnificent glass landscape below.It was a map of Daxia made of transparent glaze, filled with powders of various colors, just enough to support the distant Daiqingshan, picturesque scenery.The map is rough, but the textures add a lot of color to it.

Emperor Yongjia got up abruptly, stepped down from the throne, and came to the mahogany support. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help touching it with his hands. There was a cool and delicate touch from his fingertips. Lu Jing'an smiled and said, "Okay! Jinghe's kindness, thank you!"

Hearing this, Lu Jingan was slightly relieved. She had spent a lot of thought on burning this picture, which drove the craftsmen in the utensil workshop to go crazy. The next step of filling the paint was even more difficult. It took several paintings before everyone could barely make such a slightly perfect glass landscape painting.

The Eldest Princess’ annual ceremony was brilliant once again, and the faces of the rest of the princes and princesses who didn’t get along well with her were brilliant for a while, especially the second prince. , reluctantly smiled and said: "The imperial sister is really clever, she must have wasted a lot of thought in order to make this picture."

And hide it so well.

"It's not as delicate as Brother Huang." Lu Jingan replied, staring at her with vague eyes, I have never forgotten that you are a hot chicken who has been stalking my shop for a long time! !

Against such a background, the following annual gifts are really nothing special. Originally, there are various festivals and birthday gifts to be given every year. Although they have spent a lot of thought, but as time goes on, it is inevitable that there will not be many rare treasures to give to someone like Lu Jingan. There are really very few people who have dazzled for many years.

Most people accepted it very well. If you think about the business power that Lu Jingan has developed, you can know how rich she is. It's not surprising that such a rich person can give a lot of gifts, and only the second prince is not reconciled.

On the way, the second prince still wanted to trouble Lu Jingan, but instead she brought up the old story again and filed a lawsuit in front of the emperor. If he failed to steal the chicken, he was reprimanded by the emperor.

At the end of the banquet, it was already dark. Before Lu Jingchen came out, he received a look from his younger sister. After walking out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he did not go back to the East Palace. Ask Brother Huang to come out, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Jingan was not the only one waiting, beside her was a tall girl in a blue and black palace dress, Lu Jingchen took a few glances at her, and reckoned that it should be the accompanying student.

"Of course there is something to do." Lu Jingan pulled Yun Ya away with a smile, brought her to his side, and said, "Brother Huang, my sister will introduce someone to you. Here, my companion, Yun Ya."

"Yeah." Lu Jingchen looked at her again, with a very flat expression, "Miss Yunguo Mansion, Gu has heard of it."

"It's my reading companion." Lu Jingan emphasized, "Forget it, I'll let you get to know each other, in two days... um, in two days, brother, do you have time to come to my house?"

"Oh? What?"

"Let's go through the house and talk about it." Lu Jingan waved his hand, calculated the time and said, "It's just the third day of junior high school, I'll wait for you, brother."

Lu Jingchen smiled, and although he didn't quite understand, he still nodded and said, "Okay, well, Gu wrote it down, and it's just a few words, why don't you let someone send a message, but let Gu go for a trip."

"Tch." Lu Jingan pursed his lips, trying to say something, but swallowed the words, and left after saying hello, leaving her handsome and handsome prince brother to stay in the side hall to bask in the moonlight.

Lu Jingchen shook his head, thinking it was his sister's sudden whim, he made the promise and got up to leave, but he didn't know that an imperial edict the next day almost broke the balance in Beijing.

On the first day of the first lunar month in the 18th year of Yongjia, the imperial decree came to Jinghe's eldest princess mansion, and the eldest princess was authorized to set up a women's firearms camp to train with private soldiers.

"How many people are you going to recruit?" Lu Jingan had been sleepy since receiving the order in the morning, and he didn't even respond to Yun Ya's question at this time.

Lu Jingan moaned, rubbed his forehead, and said lazily: "First recruit from among the noble girls, about 500 people, and it would be good to keep 300 people in the end."

"This should be fine too." Yun Ya thought for a while, "Don't you have any ideas about ordinary women?"

"Let's set up an assessment first." Lu Jingan propped his chin, closed his eyes slightly, and didn't know whether he was thinking or because he was sleepy, "Ah, really, why did the edict come so early? For the assessment, there are only a few questions for people to do." For a moment, if you pass, stay, if you don’t, then leave, if you are more flexible, if there are civilian women who come to sign up, then they will accept it.”

Lu Jingan thought for a while, and decided to leave this matter to Yun Ya. She rubbed her face and cheered up, and asked, "If I want to leave this matter to Muer, is it okay?"

Yun Ya smiled slightly, she was not afraid, "My daughter will definitely live up to her trust."

"Ah, that's good." Lu Jingan finally couldn't help feeling drowsy. She came back late last night, and she talked to Yun Ya later, making it even later. She was planning not to practice swords this morning. Welcomed the angel.

"By the way, let Xia Lan and Xuemei assist you when the time comes. If necessary, you can discuss it with Qiyu."

"Okay, Your Highness." Yun Ya pursed her lips and said softly, "If Your Highness is very sleepy, you should go back to sleep for a while, your body is the most important thing."

Lu Jingan responded, got up and went back to rest.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the morning time is used to greet the angels, so let's go to the palace in the afternoon to say hello.

During the first two days of the first and second day of the new year, besides the usual New Year greetings, Lu Jingan also revealed the idea of ​​setting up a firearms battalion to the honorable ministers.Most of the families with daughters became active. After learning about the preferences of the eldest princess, they told their daughters, and then they thought about how to get close to the princess' mansion.

The third day of the Lunar New Year was the day when the Crown Princess returned home. Lu Jingchen sent his wife home early in the morning, stayed for a while, and then went to the Princess Mansion before noon.

Lu Jingan was a little surprised to see him come so early, "Brother Huang, didn't you always stay in the prime minister's residence all day before? Why did you come so early today?"

"I made an appointment with my sister, so Gu will not slip up." Lu Jingchen was a little helpless. If he came late, he would probably be teased, but if he came early, he would be asked this question?

Lu Jingan snorted, handed him a cup of tea, pointed at Yun Ya who was sitting upright, and said, "It's actually not a big deal, I'll introduce her to you."

They are now in the pavilion between the lakes of the Princess Mansion, and they can guarantee that they will not be eavesdropped, but it is a bit cold.

Seeing her shrunk into the fluffy cloak, Lu Jingchen was even more helpless, "Your companion, I know, didn't you just introduce it a few days ago? And why are you so afraid of the cold? Here, isn't it okay to talk in the house?"

"Tsk, don't be stupid, you know the will of the emperor, right? I'm going to hand over the firearms battalion to her, so I came here to introduce you."

"Oh? Then Miss Yun is really... deeply trusted by the imperial sister." Lu Jingchen understood what she meant, and looked at Yun Ya with more scrutiny.

On the other hand, Yunya was not afraid at all, she looked at him neither humble nor overbearing, with a slight smile on her face, "Since my daughter can gain His Highness's trust, she naturally has this ability, Your Highness the Crown Prince might as well give it a try."

"There's no need to try. There will be nothing wrong with the person An'er chooses." Lu Jingchen took a deep look at her and said with a smile, "Just, Miss Yun, don't let An'er and Gu down."

Lu Jingchen has been to Lu Jingan's utensil shop, and has seen the power of gunpowder, so he naturally knows the weight of the firearms battalion. This is a great weapon in the hands of their brother and sister.

Yun Ya bowed and saluted, and said lightly: "My minister, I will definitely live up to my expectations."
