Chapter 258: Even more goodwill
Princess Zhao ate a meal in the queen's harem without knowing it, and then returned to her own house.
The person who served her quickly came up and took off her clothes from outside. Princess Zhao asked, "Isn't the prince at home?"
"The prince didn't go out of the mansion today, and he is in Aunt Lan's house." The maid said hurriedly. "I know." Princess Zhao muttered, very dissatisfied.
However, she had just put on her loose clothes and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. King Zhao walked in. "You have leisure," Princess Zhao couldn't help but retort, "My whole heart was baked on an iron plate this day."
"What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy when you entered the palace?" King Zhao hurriedly walked up to ask. "What else? Didn't you say to use the Liu family's affairs to beat the King of Chu a few days ago? I went to the palace today and met the Princess Chu. His arrogant look did not take me seriously. I see that your beating is useless at all." Princess Zhao blew out all the anger he suffered in the palace that day. "Now there are supporters in the palace. Princess Duanmin invited everyone except Tong'er to her for barbecue, which is too bullying."
The King of Zhao didn't say anything. Hearing her talked about everything and said, "What do Empress say?"
"The Empress doesn't care about it, she just says she will make the decision." Princess Zhao said, "You know sister's temper. She has always been the same. If we say too much, it will be counterproductive."
"Is the King of Chu so brave?" King Zhao thought for a while and said, "Well, don't you say that there is no turning back? I'll take someone to join him in the palace tomorrow. Anyway, it's really not true. The Liu family is still showing off at this time. If they were to give them some strength, they would definitely not be able to hold on."
"According to me, there was no need to show any mercy from the beginning." Princess Zhao snorted, "I had said that I would not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed. If they hadn't been the little fuku family before, why would it be today?"
King Zhao then arranged for someone to attend the King of Chu in the morning court tomorrow. Of course, he would not have come forward in person, because it has not reached that level yet.
The Emperor and the King of Fenye returned to the palace at dusk, so they naturally returned with a full load.
At night, I simply ignited a bonfire in the open space in the palace, imitating the appearance of roasting wild game on the grassland, and slaughtered the whole yellow sheep and deer, and roasted it on the fire.
The people in the palace thought it was fresh, and many of them came to watch the fun.
Princess Duanmin refused to go, and only sent all the people who served him: "I'm most annoying to this. You don't know that those Manchus sang and danced around the bonfire until midnight. It's nothing. They always get drunk and vomit all over the place. So every time they make this, I'm in the dome and refuse to be with them."
She was talking to the eldest princess, and Wen Mingqian brought in a pot of incense. "How are you doing now? Is the smell on them almost gone?" Princess Duanmin asked when she saw her.
"It's like the Han people," Wen Mingqian said, "Young girls only need to avoid fishy food for a month, and then bathe with herbs and drink fragrant tea, and their body taste will naturally be removed."
"This is the best," Princess Duanmin was very happy when she heard it. "Thanks to you, your things are perfect for them."
It turns out that Princess Duanmin brought a pair of twin sisters from the grassland. They are not only beautiful, but also good at singing and dancing.
But there is a kind of thing that they grew up on the grassland and ate beef and mutton all year round, and their body sensations are much heavier than those of the Han people.
Princess Duanmin had sent people to the capital to send beauties to the emperor, but the queen returned them on the grounds that she was too serious and was not suitable for serving the emperor.
This time she brought two more, and wanted to wait for some time for the Emperor's birthday to offer. The eldest princess reminded her that if she wants to achieve her goal, she must remove their body odor.
Wen Mingqian is good at making incense, so she is naturally very skillful in doing this.
However, the queen cannot know about this, otherwise Wen Mingqian will definitely lose her trust. "Sometimes I have to leave quickly when I come here," said Wen Mingqian.
"Go! Chang'an and the others must have gone to the front to see the bonfire. Although I have told the people who follow you to take care of them, if you have nothing to do, you might as well go over and take a look." The eldest princess said to her.
Wen Mingqian agreed to go.
There are only Princess Duanmin and the eldest princess left in the room. Princess Duanmin fiddled with the incense ash in the incense burner and said, "Auntie, I asked you a few days ago, what is Wen Mingqian's purpose for entering the palace? You said I'll guess it myself. But I guess a few things wrong, and now I'll guess one more."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Okay, then you guess."
"I thought that for her own sake, entering the palace was not the best choice. She would live more freely outside than in the palace, but she still entered the palace. Then she must have something important to do, and this matter must be left with the queen to do it.
Then does she have any injustice? Moreover, this grievance is difficult to be rehabilitated by ordinary methods, and it must be granted an imperial edict. "Princess Duanmin was thinking about this question repeatedly these days.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar, she had thought before whether Wen Mingqian had a high career for her two brothers.
After all, she had divorced, and only her family could rely on, but her family was not in the capital.
But the eldest princess said no.
With Wen Mingqian's relationship, whether it is to entrust the eldest princess or the Princess Zhao, her two brothers can be able to return to Beijing smoothly without having to go into the palace.
Later she guessed whether Wen Mingqian was trying to avoid his enemies, and maybe she offended someone with high power.
Or she is young, beautiful and has unique skills, and she is inevitably entangled by people with bad intentions.
She even guessed that King Zhao had some intentions towards Wen Mingqian, after all, King Zhao was very lustful.
In short, Wen Mingqian entered the palace to avoid some people, but he was also denied.
So she thought about it for several days before she thought about whether Wen Mingqian had an injustice and that the conventional channels could not be resolved, so she chose to enter the palace.
The eldest princess did not rush to reply to her, but slowly sipped the tea, and then slowly nodded and said, "You are right this time."
"What?! Is it true?!" Princess Domin was not happy because she guessed correctly, but was very surprised.
"Look at you, will I lie to you?" The eldest princess glanced at her and said, "But you have to keep your mouth shut about this, she has a great deal of concern."
"What kind of injustice does she have? Can my aunt tell me?" Princess Duanmin lowered her voice. She was so curious.
