The nine princesses of the East Palace

After Aunt Ying took us out of the palace, she stopped caring about us and said that we would go shopping by ourselves, and she would pick us up again next year.

Yongning immediately suggested, "Xiaofeng, let's take you to the Liuli Pavilion."

"Liu Li Pavilion?" The name seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

Yong Ning said: "When a girl comes to the capital, she must visit the Liuli Pavilion. There are many beautiful rouge, gouache and clothes in it. Sometimes the clothes of the ladies in the palace are also custom-made by the Liuli Pavilion."

As soon as she said this, I remembered, the day I first came to the capital, Li Chengyin asked Shi En to go to the Liuli Pavilion to buy rouge powder for Yongning and Luo Xi, but, is this Liuli Pavilion far away? En said that it is very close to Xiangmingju, but I can't remember exactly where Xiangmingju is.

"Yes, Xiaofeng, let's go to the Liuli Pavilion first, it's not too far away, just walk forward for a quarter of an hour." Luo Xi's words just solved my doubts, it turns out that the Liuli Pavilion is outside the palace, near the palace gate.And that Xiangmingju is far away from the palace gate, no wonder Shi En was sweating profusely when he walked that day.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the Liuli Pavilion. There were quite a lot of people visiting here, all of whom were wives or young ladies from rich families.

"Hey, Luo Xi, isn't that Zhao Sesur?" Yong Ning squinted ahead, pulled Luo Xi's sleeve, and whispered.

Luo Xi glanced at it and said, "It's the girl from the Zhao family."

Yong Ning snorted lightly, as if she didn't like this Miss Zhao family very much, she pulled me and said, "Xiao Feng, Luo Xi, let's go to the other side."

I still remember Zhao Sese, who spoke in a soft voice, and stopped Li Chengyin from speaking, which seemed to be somewhat interesting to him.She should also remember me, and she probably still has a bit of hatred for me, because Li Chengyin didn't pay much attention to her that day, which made her very embarrassed.

"Xiaofeng, let me tell you, you have to be on guard against this Zhao Sesur." Yongning said in my ear while walking.

"Why?" I was confused.

Yong Ning said: "She is the best at pretending to be pitiful, and she loves to cry, and she will cry like pear blossoms with rain when she falls, who will see it!"

"Maybe it hurts from the fall." I said.If I fall too hard, I will cry too.

"But she didn't fall sooner or later, but she fell in front of Fifth Brother. It's hard to make people not want to be wrong." Yongning said again.

Zhao Sese wrestled in front of Li Chengyin?Then Li Chengyin will definitely help her, after all she is a girl, and it is pitiful to fall down.However, will he carry her on his back?Will you rub her feet too?Will you give her medicine too?

I kind of resist what he's doing to me, and he's done it to other girls too.

"However, speaking of it, she is quite pitiful. Brother Wu ignored her at the time and walked away." Yongning said again, "My brother seems to have changed a lot these years. He talked a lot less. I don’t like to laugh anymore, and I often sit alone in a daze, giving people a feeling of loneliness and loneliness. I can’t remember when it changed, it seems that when he was nine years old, he fell off his horse while riding a horse. I fell down and passed out, and when I woke up, I didn't like to play with us."

"I think he's quite a laugher," I said.He usually makes fun of me a lot, and sometimes he can't stop laughing, making people want to beat him up. He also talks a lot, and he likes to sarcasm me from time to time.

Yongning thought for a while, looked at me and said, "That's true. After returning from the western region, it's easier to talk than before."

It's really strange, the Li Chengyin in Yongning's mouth seems to be two different people from the Li Chengyin I know.

"Oh, why am I telling you these things?" Yongning said, "Xiao Li, we want to see the clothes. Is there anything new in the store?"

The person named Xiaoli is the shopkeeper here. She looks a few years older than us, and she walked over quickly with a smile: "Yes, there are many, this row is full, Seventh Miss, Eighth Miss, and this girl please Casual look."

The clothes in this shop are really pretty. I quickly fell in love with a crimson skirt. It looks bright red and the pattern on it is also very delicate, like the colorful clouds in the sky.

Xiaoli said with a smile: "Young lady has a good eye. This is the only one in Yanxia Feiling Ruyi Begonia brocade clothing store tonight, and it is also the most complicated one. The patterns on it alone took a whole month to embroider."

"Is it so troublesome?" I asked.It takes one month to embroider, so it will take two months to finish the whole set?

Xiaoli said: "Trouble is a bit troublesome, but it is tailor-made for girls. Wearing it on your body must be more dazzling than that red haze."

Yongning and Luo Xi also looked at this dress, Yongning said: "Xiaofeng, I also think this color suits you, you must look good in it."

Luo Xi, who was always quiet, also said at this moment: "That's right, Fifth Brother likes this bright red color the most."

Yongning seemed to think of something, and said to me: "My fifth brother hated the big red when he was a child, and said that it dazzled his eyes, but after he fell off his horse, he had to hang two big red lanterns in front of his bedroom every year. Can't sleep, do you think it's strange?"

I don't know what color Li Chengyin likes, but I wore a red silk and gold dress on the day I entered the palace, he looked at me several times.

I like bright red, it looks festive, but after living in Yufu Palace in Central Plains, I haven't worn any bright-colored clothes. Yong Niang said that bright red is too ostentatious, and it's not appropriate to wear it all the time to walk around in the palace.

"Xiaoli, we want this dress." Before I could make a sound, Yongning spoke.

"Yongning..."

Yong Ning smiled and said, "Take it as a gift from me and Luo Xi."

I looked at them and nodded with emotion, "Then what do you like? I want to give you gifts too."

Luo Xi said: "We don't lack anything. If you really want to give it, just give it a box of rouge."

So I went to the front to pick the rouge, and Zhao Sesur was also picking it there. She was wearing a pink dress with a butterfly jade hairpin on her hair. She looked dignified and delicate.But she glanced at me and pretended not to know her, so I had no choice but to pretend not to know her.

Yongning and Luo Xi came over soon, and Yongning looked at Zhao Sesel and said, "It turns out that Miss Zhao also came to visit Liuli Pavilion, what a coincidence."

Zhao Sese saluted Yongning and Luo Xi, "Sese has seen the two princesses."

"Miss Zhao is free." Yongning waved his hand, pointed at me and said, "By the way, this is Xiaofeng, the Ninth Princess from Xizhou, you haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Zhao Sese shook his head: "I've never seen Princess Nine before."

Yong Ning said again: "I think so too. She has another identity, that is, the fifth sister-in-law of me and Luo Xi, and will always live in the palace and will not leave."

I saw that Zhao Sesur's face was a little bad, and Yongning probably told her that on purpose.

"It turned out to be the princess-to-be, Sese is disrespectful." Although Zhao Sese's face was pale, she still saluted me.

"Does Miss Zhao often go out for a stroll?" I didn't come out a few times, but this was the third time I saw her.

Zhao Sese said: "My parents seldom restrain Sese, so I often come out to relax."

"I really envy you." I said, "I was suffocated to death in the palace, and there are endless things to learn every day. You are much more comfortable than me."

Zhao Sese didn't know why, and her complexion was even worse. She only heard her say: "Surse is not feeling well, so I will take the first step, and the princesses are walking slowly." It turned out that she was sick, no wonder her complexion was so bad.
