princess is fine

Chapter 22 New Friend

In the spring of the 14th year of Yonghe, the emperor sent envoys to the state of Wei.In February, the State of Wei returned the letter of credence, and Gao Jinnian, the eldest son of Emperor Wei, came to congratulate him with gifts.

Emperor Yonghe ordered people to read the letter of credence on the court hall, and then everyone in the audience responded.

Ji Qianyun stood up first and said: "Seeing Wei Guo's words today, and thinking about the good relations between the two countries, I am afraid that there may be a misunderstanding about the border. If I, Daliang, use troops rashly and waste money and waste, it will definitely arouse public anger." He paused for a while, then He continued: "Duke Zhen should not ignore the hearts of the people."

Zhou Di couldn't hear Ji Qianyun's sarcasm, but he had already made plans in his heart, and said regardless of the surprise of others: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, it is indeed the old minister's carelessness."

Emperor Yonghe naturally didn't care about Zhou Di's true love and falsehood, so he casually comforted him a few words, and the matter was settled.

Everyone in the palace began to get busy with the emperor's birthday banquet, and even the servants of Jinmo Palace were often sent out to help with sundries.

Xi Chao has always been leisurely, if there is any change, it is the recent pastry, which is extraordinarily delicious.

The imperial dining room was about to prepare cakes for the birthday banquet, so they sent some pastries to Kunning Palace in advance, tasted some flavors, so that they could choose styles and flavors, and prepared some favorites for the birthday banquet.

Empress Chen didn't eat much, so she distributed these cakes to several princes and princesses.When Xiao Rongxuan got something, he changed hands and sent it to Jinmo Palace. Xiao Rongcan was too embarrassed to eat alone, so he followed suit and sent it here.

Empress Chen knew about it, but she praised the friendship between the siblings, and rewarded some other things, let's not talk about it for now.Only Concubine Zhou Gui of Chengqian Palace was so angry that her teeth were itchy. Her speech seemed to be not friendly with others in this palace.

Concubine Zhou was overthinking this, Xiao Rongyue is only four years old this year, it would be hypocritical to understand these people's sophistication, but Concubine Zhou was aggrieved, so she sent the maids and some cakes to Jinmo Palace.

It doesn't really matter, Xiao Rongjin took the snacks and returned some thank you gifts.It's just that the lady-in-waiting who delivered the cakes was none other than Luyan who once had a relationship with Xi Chao.

When Luyan entered the Jinmo Palace, someone passed on the news, and after standing for a while, someone came to take her to the hall.

As soon as she entered the door, she saluted first before she dared to look up at the hall.

I was a little surprised to see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing in front of the princess with a playful smile on her face.But after all, the above is the master, so I dare not see it clearly.Lu Yan lowered her head again and waited for the princess to speak.

After explaining the purpose of coming, the princess waved her hand to let her back, and then suddenly heard a sentence: "Are you Green Smoke?"

She looked up, but it was not the person who reminded her to take medicine outside Jinmo Palace that day.

Xi Chao didn't pay attention to who the person below was, but just wanted to discuss with His Highness whether he could eat more pastries a day, but he never thought that this person looked familiar when he stood up.

"Green smoke?" Xiao Rongjin heard Xi Chao's words, and stopped him: "Tell me to take a look."

Lu Yan stopped as she said, and seeing Xi Chao looking at her carefully, she nodded and smiled, "The wound on my face is healed."

Hearing this, Lu Yan hurriedly said a few words of gratitude.

Xi Chao glanced at Xiao Rongjin, seeing that she was just holding up the teacup, obviously not interested in this court lady, so he said, "Your Highness, I'll see her off."

"Go." Xiao Rongjin nodded.

The two of them were apart from the palace gate, Xi Chao always smiled slightly when she saw her words, and whispered with some pity in his heart: "Your master, but you are being punished again?"

When she saw Luyan lowering her head, her neck was a little bruised, presumably Zhou Guifei had vented her anger on others again.Lu Yan covered her neck but didn't speak, Xi Chao only sighed and said: "It's fate that we two met in the palace, just wait for me, I'll go get you something."

Xi Chao went back to the yard, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, took some wound medicine, and ran out of the palace to give it to her.

Seeing Xi Chao's actions, Lu Yan already had tears in her eyes: "Thank you Miss Chao'er, slave... I'm okay with slaves, please trouble Miss."

Xi Chao shook his head and said, "I don't bother. Take care of yourself."

The two of them talked, and they had already walked into the hundred gardens. Although it was warm and cold, some of the trees in the garden had branches, and these tender green branches hung on them, so cute.

After bathing and seeing the scenery, I feel better again, so I said to Lu Yan: "I won't send you off, you go back quickly, so that the imperial concubine and empress will find out your mistakes again."

When Lu Yan heard this, her heart warmed up, and she said some words of gratitude before turning and leaving.

Xi Chao looked at her back, sighed softly, and was about to turn around and go back.Eyes inadvertently swept to the pool water that was slightly swayed by the spring breeze.The poolside looks like a vine vegetable, but the branches and leaves are quite sparse. Could it be water hibiscus?

Xi Chao walked a little closer and saw no one around, so he squatted down and looked at the small patch of sparse plants seriously.Well, it should be water hibiscus. Speaking of which, this grass has no other functions, but it has a rather interesting effect, which is to paralyze part of the body.

She had only seen this kind of herb in Sun Lao's notes, but she had never seen this kind of herb on weekdays.Thinking of this, Xi Chao's curiosity or anticipation came, she stood up and took a few steps down slightly.The soil by the pool was fairly firm, so Xi Chao stepped on it with confidence, but the hibiscus plant grew in a tricky place, and Xi Chao stretched out his hand several times but couldn't catch it.

She looked around, but didn't see anything convenient, so she gritted her teeth and took another step down.

Suddenly the rocks under her feet loosened. Before Xi Chao could react, she had already leaned forward. Just when she thought she was about to fall into the pond to take a bath, a hand fell from the sky and grabbed her...

"Huh?" Xi Chao looked at the people on the shore in surprise.

"Girl, are you okay?" The man on the shore looked at her, his narrow and charming eyes raised slightly.While speaking, that person, Zhou Yu, pulled Xi Chao up.

Xi Chao stood still, patted some dirt on his body, and then looked at Zhou Yu: "Thank you, young master.

The corner of Zhou Yu's mouth was raised, and a slight smile was raised. Seeing Xi Chao who was so absorbed in patting the soil without even looking at him, he felt funny in his heart, put away that frivolous smile, and acted like a gentle gentleman. : "I don't know why the girl almost fell into the pool. It's cold in this spring, I'm afraid she will hurt her body."

Xi Chao recalled the conversation with Xiao Rongjin, His Highness didn't seem to like this guy, and didn't want to have anything to do with him, but seeing that he was gentle, considerate and polite at the moment, he was embarrassed to walk away with a cold face, so he could only say dryly. explained why he was here.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he wanted to walk a few steps by the pool, wanting to see the medicinal herb that Xi Chao was talking about.He glanced at the distance by the pool, turned his head and smiled at Xi Chao: "May I be the next one?"

Xi Zhao saw that he seemed to have a way to pick herbs, so he didn't worry about it, and stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve.

Seeing that she was so on guard, Zhou Yu didn't speak, but took a step down and reached out to pick the water hibiscus.Adult men are taller after all, and Zhou Yu has a good figure, which can be considered as long arms and legs, so naturally he is not as strenuous as Xi Chao.

When Xi Chao saw that he had picked hibiscus, he was overjoyed and was about to pull him back.It never occurred to Zhou Yu's figure to sway a few times, as if he was about to lose his footing.

When it was too late, Zhou Yu's body was already upside down. Seeing this situation, Xi Chao thought sadly, this is the rhythm that is destined to fall!

Fortunately, although Zhou Yu fell down with Xi Chao, he did not forget to stretch out his hands to protect Xi Chao's head. When Xi Chao stared at him, he seemed to have just realized that this posture was wrong. Tai Yaguan stood up hastily.

Xi Chao himself didn't fall, and he didn't care. He stretched out his hand to take the medicine in Zhou Yu's hand, rummaged through it carefully, and then said with a smile: "It really is water hibiscus, I didn't expect this rare treasure in the palace Strange treasures are everywhere."

After that, she glanced at Zhou Yu again, seeing his frown slightly, realized that he might be injured: "I'm sorry, I forgot you in a moment of excitement..."

Zhou Yu almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face, but the corner of his mouth twitched helplessly. The little girl's reaction was too different from ordinary people.

"Your hand..." Xi Chao glanced at his wrist, there was a bruise, but it didn't cut the skin, it should be sprained.

Seeing this situation, Xi Chao shook his head, and said helplessly, "Your injury is sprained, and I'm not strong enough to fix it." Then he raised the hibiscus in his hand: "Thank you. I believe that with your ability, it shouldn't be too much trouble to order some Diadajiu in the palace, just remember to explain the situation clearly and don't take the wrong medicine." Obviously teasing him about giving him the wrong medicine last time.

After Xi Chao finished speaking, he waved his hand brilliantly to Zhou Yu: "Mr. Zhou, goodbye." This Mr. Zhou looks pretty good, but His Highness said that there is no one in this palace to be friendly with, otherwise How to say know people know face but not heart.

Zhou Yu was not surprised that Xi Chao knew his identity.He was just a little surprised, shouldn't his daughter's family like such a gentle and considerate man, just like that little palace lady.Why does this one seem unresponsive?

However, he raised his eyebrows and said to Xi Chao's back: "Miss Chao'er, goodbye."

Xi Chao didn't hear this, she just wanted to go back to the palace quickly.It's been a while since she came out, I don't know if her princess misses her...

Since that day, Xi Chao has gained one more friend in the palace, naturally not Zhou Yu, but Lu Yan.

Because she was greedy for the pastries sent by the queen, she had a stomachache for a day, and was fined not to touch sweets for three days.Although Zhiqin and the others were very close to her, but after all, it was the princess who gave her orders, so they naturally refused to let go of Xi Chao's twisted minds.

The evil Xi Chao was depressed for a long time, and happened to meet Luyan who was passing by Baihuayuan when he came back from the imperial dining room.

Seeing her unhappy look, Lu Yan pursed her lips and chuckled, then took out two pieces of pastries from the food box, rearranged the plates, and handed them to Xi Chao: "Miss Chao'er is indeed a child. The girls at home like to eat sweets too. But His Highness forbids you to eat them for your body, so don’t eat any more after you’ve quenched your craving.”

Xi Chao was a little embarrassed, she scratched her hair and said, "Of course I know, but I didn't expect His Highness to be so determined this time, that he really wouldn't budge. Sigh..."

Looking at the pink and soft pastry in her hand, she sighed and said, "Why can you relieve your worries, the only white jade cake?" After she finished speaking, she swallowed the pastry in one gulp.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yan laughed and trembled, and reached out to pat the powdered sugar on her front, saying: "Then the servant girl will not talk to Miss Chao'er anymore, I have to go back to Chengqian Palace."

Xi Chao nodded hurriedly: "Then you go back quickly, the empress of the province lost her temper again."

Lu Yan frowned inaudibly, and then relaxed it quickly: "The empress has treated us much better recently, Miss Chao'er, don't worry." After speaking, she smiled at Xi Chao before leaving.

The author has something to say:

Luyan is a good girl, it's a pity... (Hey, I seem to be spoiling something)

La la la, come to thank my babies, thank you Xiao Ning Meng for mine!Hug me!Thank you Grenade for the nickname Baby!Hold on!Take a sip!
