"Second sister-in-law." Princess Qinbao was led in, and she stepped on the uncut glass, making a cracking sound.
"Your Highness, be careful where you step." The maid who followed quickly supported Princess Qinbao and bent down to check whether her feet were injured.
Staring at Lu Yebai standing behind Wen Jinhe, Princess Qinbao's heart rippled again.
It's obviously not him, but why do I feel strange every time I see Kokoro.
Wen Jinhe walked over and asked, "How did you find me here?"
Princess Qinbao held up the hem of her skirt and walked up to Wen Jinhe, "I went to Prince Che's Mansion, and they said you were inspecting the shop, so they came here one by one. The palace was too boring, so I thought I would come and play with you."
Princess Qinbao was sensitively aware that Lu Yebai changed his position deliberately, as if he was moving away from her.
Wen Jinhe looked at the two of them with a meaningful look, "Follow me, you have never been to these workshops. After the inspection, we will go to Yunxi Restaurant for dinner."
Princess Qinbao nodded and followed Wen Jinhe. The second sister-in-law was different from her. She had outstanding abilities and had her own career.
After inspecting all the eight royal merchant workshops and shops, Princess Qinbao followed along and listened, her eyes full of admiration for Wen Jinhe.
When leaving, seeing that Lu Yebai and the others did not follow, Princess Qinbao asked, "Aren't they going?"
Man Qiu lowered her head and replied: "The clerk from Wangfei Industry orders lunch at Yunxi Restaurant every day, and the restaurant clerk will deliver it on time."
Princess Qinbao nodded disappointedly.
On the carriage, Wen Jinhe asked, "Lu Yebai is the person you met at the palace whose back looks similar to your sweetheart?"
Princess Qinbao was shocked, "Second sister-in-law, how did you know?"
Wen Jinhe closed the carriage curtains, "You are too obvious. You have to look at him several times every time he appears. I'm afraid I'm not the only one who can tell."
Princess Qinbao's eyes were a little gloomy, "Master Mingyuan also said at that time that I would meet the person I want in the near future. However, although they look alike, they look different. There should be no birthmark on his face."
Wen Jinhe's eyes wandered, thinking about what to say to dispel her thoughts, "Since you are sure it's not the case, don't pay too much attention to it. As a princess, you always focus on a servant. If someone sees it, it will inevitably lead to criticism."
Princess Qinbao leaned against the car wall, pouting in silence. After a long time, she finally spoke, "Second sister-in-law, when will I see him again? It's been almost a year since we last met."
After the Ghost Mansion Gate was destroyed, Lu Yebai never appeared again wearing the golden phoenix mask.
Wen Jinhe stood up and said, "If you want to forget someone, the fastest way is to fall in love with another person. I think you can get to know more men, and maybe you can forget that person soon."
Princess Qinbao shook her head, "I don't want it. It took a lot of effort to get my father and mother to be less interested in my marriage. If I attend various banquets frequently, my mother might bring it up again."
Wen Jinhe pursed her lips and stretched out her hand to open the car curtain and look at the market outside. How could the royal family of Beidi Kingdom be so stubborn about love?
While they were eating, a guard ran up and whispered something in Zhao Bi's ear.
"Princess, Miss Lu from Princess Changping's Mansion has left the city for the eastern suburbs camp." Zhao Bi turned to Wen Jinhe and said.
Princess Qinbao, who was chewing the duck leg, silently swallowed the duck meat in her mouth. Is the second sister-in-law sending someone to keep an eye on Lu Zhixi?
Wen Jinhe looked at the table of delicious food and felt a little disappointed, "How can she, a woman, enter the Eastern Suburb Camp without permission? Who else?"
Zhao Bi frowned slightly, "There is also King Heng."
Wen Jinhe raised his eyebrows in disbelief, wondering how they got together.
When Princess Qinbao heard about King Heng, she looked at Wen Jinhe. The eldest brother couldn't compete with the second brother in the court, so he wanted to start from the backyard.
There are so many women in his own palace, and now he has his mind set on Prince Che's palace.
Wen Jinhe's fingers tapped on the table, and the water in the soup bowl on the table vibrated.
Inside the palace.
"My beloved concubine, I heard that you called the imperial doctor today. Are you feeling unwell?" Li Jingxing came to Chuxiu Palace to see Concubine Wei after finishing the memorial.
Concubine Wei, who was sitting on the couch and rubbing her belly, hurriedly wanted to come down to salute, but the emperor supported her with one hand, "You are pregnant, so there is no need for these false gifts."
Concubine Wei had a faint smile on her face, exuding a light that she was about to become a mother. "I often get woken up at night. I feel sleepy during the day and have a little loss of appetite, so I asked the imperial doctor to see me. , the imperial doctor said that he was frightened a few days ago, and he prescribed some prescriptions to calm the nerves and take them for a few days. "
Li Jingxing's eyes showed a cold light, "Don't worry, this child is protected by me and no one can touch it."
"Since I have lost my appetite, is it because the dishes in the imperial dining room are not to my liking?"
Concubine Wei smiled sheepishly and covered half of her mouth with a handkerchief, "A woman's taste changes greatly when she is pregnant. The skills of the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen are second to none. How can I dislike it?"
Li Jingxing stared at Concubine Wei's belly. For a person over sixty years old, he would inevitably be more concerned about having a son. "There is a cook in the imperial dining room who Princess Qinbao asked for from Princess Che. Normally, he only gives it to me and him." Princess Qinbao will cook some different delicacies. If you feel tired of the imperial chef’s food, you can send someone to look for him.”
Concubine Wei raised the corners of her lips and nodded, "Then my concubine is very lucky."
Butler Li stood in the outer hall of the backyard, bending down and raising his eyes from time to time to observe the expression of his princess.
After returning from outside in the afternoon, I would be called over.
It's been almost a quarter of an hour, and not a word has been said.
Wen Jinhe put the cup on the table and his face became a little serious, "Steward Li, it seems that this princess hasn't held any banquets since she married into Prince Che's Mansion."
Prince Heng's palace has held countless flower-viewing banquets, tea banquets, and poetry banquets. After Princess Heng lost her power as the palace's housekeeper, the two concubines held three banquets, and all the guests invited were wives of capital officials. .
Butler Li was a little surprised. Forget about hosting a banquet by himself, his own princess would not go even if someone received an invitation from the post.
"This has never been done before. Does the princess want to invite all the famous ladies on her birthday?" Counting the days, September 12th is the princess's seventeenth birthday.
Wen Jinhe thought doubtfully, "Birthday? It seems to be coming soon. This is a good excuse."
"Go and make preparations. The Prince Che's Palace will hold a birthday banquet the day before my princess's birthday. Invite all the unmarried sons and daughters of the officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital. Remember to send a message to Prince Heng's Palace and Princess Changping's Palace, and say "Your Majesty." I will also participate that day.”
Since you don't give up, let's set up a trap to see if Lu Zhixi can take advantage of her?
