The eldest princess is still single today

"Your Highness, look at the purple jade bracelet that this son-in-law bought yesterday, it is really clear."

Guan Qingwu caressed the jade bracelet twice carelessly, feeling the coolness and luster in her hands, she nodded with satisfaction.The maid hurriedly held her hand, and put the bracelet on her bright wrist through silk.

The serving maid smiled and praised: "This bracelet is really beautiful, it makes His Highness's skin more white, tender and shiny."

"You have a sweet mouth." Guan Qingwu's eyes were full of smiles, "I will reward you with that silver hairpin from this palace, you can get it yourself later."

The servant girl knelt down in surprise and thanked her: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Guan Qingwu waved her hand, and continued to look at her makeup in front of the bronze mirror.

She used to be Da Chen's fifth princess, and now she is also the eldest daughter-in-law of the richest man in Beijing.From the rich clothes and fine food in the palace to the luxury and luxury in the son-in-law's family... It should be said that the standard of living has risen instead of falling.

In this life, nothing else can be relied on, only gold, silver and jewelry are the most reliable things.

Summer always makes people drowsy and lazy.

After dressing up, Guan Qingwu went to the nursery to visit her infant daughter as usual.The little girl was sleeping soundly, perhaps because of the heat, she kept kicking the blanket with some anxiety.Guan Qingwu then replaced the small blanket with a quilt, and laid it on the baby's belly.

She looked at her daughter's sleeping face full of love for a while, and suddenly a servant girl came in quietly from the door and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

"Go out and talk, don't disturb Bao'er to sleep."

The servant girl responded with her head lowered, and stepped forward to help her cross the threshold to the long corridor.After walking a few steps further, feeling that the sound could not reach the room, Guan Qingwu raised her posture and said:

"Now tell me, what is it?"

The servant girl Fushen replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, it is the lady from the Xiao family who came to visit in person with a gift, saying that she wants to visit the little master."

Guan Qingwu was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, it has been nearly half a year since my son was born. I didn't see her at the full moon banquet, and I didn't see her at the hundred-day banquet. It's not a serious day. What kind of bragging is this?" The wind, why did it bring her here instead?"

The servant girl asked again cautiously: "Then, did His Highness see you or not?"

"See, why don't you see me?" Guan Qingwu raised an eyebrow, "He came over to give gifts to me in person, how can I not accept them?"

She stroked her bun again to make sure her manner was graceful enough.The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her adjust the veil on her body again, carefully smoothing out all the folds on it.

Seeing her flawless body, Guan Qingwu nodded in satisfaction.

"Come on, help me to meet Mrs. Xiao."

Although the maid did not specify which "Mrs. Xiao" it was, Guan Qingwu was concerned.

Mrs. Xiao, who will come to visit her at this time, is just the mother's family of the current empress dowager.

Thinking of Xiao Yueming, Guan Qingwu couldn't help snorting twice.

In the past in the imperial palace, her mother and concubine were just concubines, and she never missed the face of the empress of that year.Without family background and great favor, he can only live on the nose of others.

She smiled in a low voice, and murmured with a sneer:

"Interesting, there is a time when she begs me today. It's just that I can't see her coming to beg me in person... I feel a little regretful."

"Mrs. Xiao, I'm late, I hope you don't blame me."

Carefully supported by the maid, Guan Qingwu stepped into the main hall with a smile.

Mrs. Xiao's family had been waiting for quite a while now, and hearing her voice, regardless of the tone, she felt relieved after sitting for a long time.With a polite smile on her face, she praised: "Your Highness, what are you talking about! I am old enough to see Your Highness's beauty, this is my blessing."

Guan Qingwu took a seat on the main seat, covered her mouth with a veil and said with a smile: "What Mrs. Xiao said is interesting. I have been married for nearly two years, and it is not every day I don't see you in the deep palace. It's time for people. As long as Mrs. Xiao is willing to show your face and sit in the humble house more, there is no possibility that you will not be able to see Bengong's face. It is not possible to wait until my Bao'er is nearly half a year old to have a chance to see it. .”

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "Hey, I'm lazy. I haven't been in good health for the past few years, and I'm afraid of the wind, so I can't always go out and walk around. That's why I missed our lady's full moon banquet and hundred-day banquet. "

She quickly waved her hand back, and the girls behind immediately came forward with gifts.

Mrs. Xiao continued to explain: "The old man came today, and he also delivered all the gifts that were supposed to be given. But the old man thought, His Highness has seen everything in the palace, and now there is nothing missing in the Wu family. After thinking about it, the old man Going, I just picked a few vulgar things for the young lady, and I hope His Highness will not dislike you."

Guan Qingwu narrowed her eyes and looked up and down the gifts in front of her. They were nothing more than gold lock jade bracelets for little girls, and there were a few exquisitely embroidered sachets in the middle, and the left and right were just ordinary things.

So she also waved her hand to ask the maids to put away these things, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, they are some homely things, but homely things are good, and this palace can be regarded as worthy of it."

The wit and yin and yang in her words were laced with guns and sticks, so Mrs. Xiao didn't know how to continue the words for a while, and the words were choked in her throat for a while, so she could only keep silent and dare not speak.

Guan Qingwu took the tea from the maid, and slowly smelled the aroma, then held it to her lips and raised her head to drink it.

After drinking one cup, she gently put the teacup on the tray held by the servant girl again, and praised: "Well, yes, this Taiping Monkey Queen smells good. Such a good smell, change the Japanese palace into the palace. Go, I have to give some to His Majesty and Elder Sister to taste."

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "This... Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are both golden branches and jade leaves. They must have tasted all kinds of good tea. This old man wants to ask for a sip of tea from His Highness without this face."

Guan Qingwu laughed and said: "Mrs. Xiao's words are ruining my palace. Mrs. Xiao is the empress dowager's sister-in-law, so why should I ask for tea from this palace? The empress dowager has it, so how could she be missing?" It's just a joke to go to my mother's house."

"This... this..." Mrs. Xiao laughed hesitantly, not knowing what to say.Guan Qingwu glanced at her sideways, and said with a sneer, "Mrs. Xiao, my daughter is asleep, and you can't see her. If there is nothing else, you can invite me back."

She paused, then laughed again: "As for you, if you have anything to say, we'd better just say it straight. To save me from being stupid and unable to understand the meaning behind the strings, and telling you to make a trip in vain. This is the best for you." It's not good."

Mrs. Xiao finally found something to say next, and she didn't dare to beat around the bush at this moment, she quickly agreed: "Hey, Your Highness is really smart, I was entrusted by the Empress Dowager."

"Then, what's the matter with the Empress Dowager entrusting you to find me?"

Mrs. Xiao said: "Didn't Your Highness already know about it? Otherwise, I wouldn't...nor mention His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"Bengong told Madam long ago that if you have something to say, you should speak up. Madam still doesn't seem to understand what I mean."

Mrs. Xiao quickly explained: "I don't dare to be old. Since Your Highness said so, I will just say it... The Empress Dowager is also planning for Your Highness."

Guan Qingwu's movements were a little sluggish, and then he smiled lightly and said: "I know what the empress dowager wants to say. Then Wu Xiuyi is my uncle. With the identity of our Wu family, it is not too much for the elder sister who is asking to marry me. It's a wishful thinking. If he really succeeds, it might be a good thing for the two sisters in this palace to marry a pair of brothers."

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "If this happens, isn't His Highness worried that his life will be affected?"

"How does this affect me?" Guan Qingwu said with a sneer, "My Wu family has a great fortune, and the family property is divided between siblings. Why should I waste all my time and energy?"

Mrs. Xiao's mood stabilized a little at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Highness grew up in the palace since childhood. Although you may not be very close to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, you are not ignorant of her methods, right?"

"Oh? Then Mrs. Xiao, tell me, what should I know?"

"Why do you pretend to be stupid, Your Highness? My old man and His Highness said a few words of sincerity to you. Although His Highness has no brothers, and has not been involved in seizing the heir, but it can be regarded as being fascinated." Mrs. Xiao said, "His Royal Highness is the eldest son. , in addition to being old, he is also gentle and stable. Although His Majesty is enthroned now, he is not as young as a weak crown, and His Highness should know who is behind this."

"What number should I have? Mrs. Xiao, don't dare to talk nonsense."

"But now this matter is related to you, I can only talk about it when it is not appropriate." Mrs. Xiao argued, "If Her Royal Highness is really not only your sister, but also your sister-in-law娌. Then in the future, if her method is used on your Highness, I am afraid that you will also..."

Guan Qingwu was silent for a while, and smiled again: "Mrs. Xiao's words are wrong. Although I and Elder Sister are not siblings of the same mother, they are still sisters of the same father. How could there be such a rift?" ?”

Without waiting for Mrs. Xiao to argue again, she continued: "However, what Mrs. Xiao said is also the empress mother's love for me. I have to ask Mrs. Xiao to convey my gratitude on my behalf."

Mrs. Xiao agreed: "This is natural."

"It's just that I can't let go of the brotherhood, and I also care about the relationship between mother and daughter, so it's hard to let go for a while." Guan Qingwu made a distressed look, "So I still have to think about it carefully. I also ask Mrs. Xiao to forgive me."

"What is your Highness talking about?" Mrs. Xiao replied with a smile, "It's just that this is also your highness's family business. It's not for others, it's for the son-in-law, it's for the young lady, it's for your highness...and please your highness Think twice."

Guan Qingwu nodded and smiled, "Naturally, thank you Mrs. Xiao for your concern."
