Chapter 71 Shameless
After Princess Wanning returned to Beijing, it happened to coincide with the Spring Festival. The city of Kyoto became lively half a month in advance, and red lanterns were hung in front of every house.
The old lanterns in the palace were also replaced by new ones. The fresh red lanterns made the whole palace more festive, and the coldness in winter was reduced a bit. .
In Chuxiu Palace, Cui Xiu stood in front of the palace door, looking at the white snow falling in the courtyard. This was the first heavy snow this year. Cui Xiu still remembered the last time he saw snow.
That was all in the last life. At that time, she was already in a state of lingering on the sickbed, and the soup on her lips was so bitter that it was difficult to swallow.
At that time, she thought that if she could go back to her youth, she would go to the snow to pick off a branch of snowy plum that Ling Han had bloomed alone, and feel the sound of falling snow.
Now, she has really returned to her youth. All this is like a dream, placed in front of her, but she no longer has the leisurely mind she once had.
In this life, there are too many things she has to do, and there are too many regrets she wants to redeem, so she cannot let herself stop.
"My Lady, it's almost time, we should leave." Chunfeng said, putting the white plush collar cloak on Cui Xiu's shoulders.
Cui Xiu then raised her hands to gather her cloak, her face changed from the recalling look just now, and when she saw Qiu Feng holding the fifth prince beside her, she already had a premonition in her heart.
I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to fight today.
Although I have to go to the Queen to pay my respects every day, today is different from the past because in addition to the other people who were present in the past, there is another person who is coming.
That is Princess Wanning.
In the blink of an eye, Princess Wanning has been back to Beijing for less than half a month, but she has never left the princess's mansion. She said that she suddenly returned to Beijing and caught a cold on the way, so she didn't come out. Meet people.
I spent half a month recuperating alone in the princess's mansion. Now that I have recovered from my illness, I found an opportunity to enter the palace and get close to the ladies in the palace.
It would be fine if they were just getting close, but Cui Xiu always felt that it would not be as simple as just getting close and chatting.
As for the marriage grant, Cui Xiu sent someone to inquire about it. He said that when the emperor ordered to kill those men, Princess Wanning cried a lot, but the next day she was like a It's okay and everyone is fine.
After arriving in Hezhou, she continued to live freely and happily in the princess' mansion as if nothing had happened.
Cui Xiu quite admires Princess Wanning's "chic" character. Those faces have followed her for a long time, and they have companionship and friendship without feelings.
The emperor was executed as soon as he said he would be executed. She did cry after learning about it, but it was only that one time, and she never mentioned the related matter again.
I have to say that the people from this imperial family are really heartless, as if they have no heart.
Originally, Cui Xiu thought that as soon as Princess Wanning came back, His Majesty would issue a marriage decree, but now it has been less than half a month, and the Emperor's decree of marriage has not been finalized.
This made Cui Xiu feel a little anxious. He didn't know what big move the emperor was holding back in his heart.
"Let's go and see what's going on." Cui Xiu calmed down his thoughts and settled down. What's going on? It's useless to think about it here.
Anyway, everyone is here. She will know what the situation is if she goes to see it.
Cui Xiu led Chunfeng, Qiufeng held the fifth prince, and brought a little maid with him. Chunfeng held an umbrella for Cui Xiu, and the little maid held an umbrella for Qiufeng who held the fifth prince.
Although snow is not rain, it will turn into water after all if it falls on you. It is cold here, so you can block one side of the snow and the other side.
As soon as Cui Xiu and his party went out, they met Ning Bin, who took Xia Zhi out of her palace, and the two met face to face. "Sister." Ning Bin stopped with a look and saluted Cui Xiu.
Cui Xiu glanced at her from the corner of her eye, nodded lightly, and signaled her to get up. Compared with Cui Xiu's attitude towards Ning Bin in the past few months, her face is much better now. .
Cui Xiu also changed her attitude toward Ning Bin at some point. This Ning Bin was thoughtful, and if she forgave her too early, she would become suspicious.
"My sister is going to the Queen's place too."
"My sister is going to go too."
Although Ning Bin was not too enthusiastic when she saw Cui Xiu's face, she It didn't stop her from having a "hot face against a cold butt". This person had to lower her head under the eaves, and Ning Bin still knew this.
Ning Bin knew that Cui Xiu didn't like her because of the fifth prince's affairs, but she couldn't give up trying to please Cui Xiu just because Cui Xiu didn't like her. After all, she still wanted to continue to get close to the fifth prince.
Cui Xiu was not so tight-lipped. After hearing what Ning Bin said, she gave her a step down and said, "Then let's go together."
As soon as Cui Xiu said these words, Ning Bin A faint smile suddenly appeared on the concubine's face, and she could tell that she was a little happy.
Cui Xiu knew that Ning Bin was waiting for her words. Otherwise, Ning Bin had the intention to do great things. If it were anyone else, she would be beaten with such shamelessness. He must have avoided her shadow whenever he saw it.
But Ning Bin didn’t hide. Not only did she not hide, she also actively came up to her, not afraid that she would hurt her again.
I have to say that Ning Bin is still a shameless practitioner. Although Cui Xiu is hostile to her, she still admires where she should be admired.
This is not a hindrance. As the saying goes, take the essence and discard the dross. You still need to learn where you need to learn.
As soon as the group arrived at the queen's palace, they met Concubine Yun and the Sixth Prince. Cui Xiu and Concubine Ning bowed to Concubine Yun, and then went in together.
The Queen sat at the top, followed by Concubine Yun, Cui Xiu sat next to Concubine Yun, Concubine Chun and others also came, and Concubine Ning could only sit at the end.
Cui Xiu glanced around and saw that Princess Wanning had not arrived yet. She was curious whether Princess Wanning, who had returned from Hezhou, had changed a lot compared to before.
While Cui Xiu was thinking about it, Concubine Yun Guifei turned to her side and whispered to her, "He'er, why did you come with her?"
When Cui Xiu heard Concubine Yun's whisper, she subconsciously leaned towards Concubine Yun, and then responded in a low voice: "She took the initiative to show her kindness to me, and I accepted it."
Cui Xiuben He had no intention of staying away from Ning Bin forever. After all, the fifth prince's "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" still relied on Ning Bin's single-handed operation.
How could the Fifth Prince have been raised to death without the interference of Concubine Ning's frivolous entourage?
Cui Xiu doesn't want to attack the fifth prince. All she has to do is secretly arrange those people who are closely related to the fifth prince to attack, and Ning Bin is the best "hand".
After hearing Cui Xiu's answer, Concubine Yun frowned subconsciously, wondering if Cui Xiu was too talkative.
Just as Concubine Yun was about to continue talking to Cui Xiu, her father-in-law's loud message came from outside.
"Princess Wanning has arrived."
