Chapter 1527: Tiger Girl 11
I got up early and had a bowl of vegetable and meat porridge, and Chunyu brought ginseng tea.
"This is the old wild ginseng that Madam asked someone to bring. Miss, take a few sips to replenish your energy."
No matter how weak the body is, there is no need to drink old wild ginseng at such a young age. But it doesn't matter if you have a drink, it might be a tough battle today.
Taking the tea cup, a few fibrous roots were soaked in the hot water inside.
After taking a sip, the water was slightly bitter and sweet, but the taste was okay.
But Chunyu asked nervously: "Miss, if it's hard, I'll get some rock sugar and put it in."
You put sugar in everything, do you really think you are a candy jar? Xining took another sip: "No, that's fine."
Chun Yu was relieved at this moment: "Drink more, young lady, and I can go and add more water."
"No, if you drink too much, you have to go to the toilet. It's inconvenient in the cold weather." Xining put the tea next to him.
Dongmei came over with a pile of clothes: "Miss, what should I wear later?"
"Don't be too plain, don't be too showy, just be casual." I don't want to be a princess.
"Oh~" Dongmei thought for a moment and picked out an ice blue one with sky blue hibiscus flowers embroidered on it from the pile of clothes: "How good is this, Miss?"
I don’t want to be a princess, but I also don’t want to dress too plainly and make people feel strange.
However, the body owner usually likes strong colors, and there are no two simple and elegant colors. Only this ice blue one is considered plain, the others are all colorful.
She looked at it: "Take out the goose egg yolk and have a look."
After putting it on, the owner's originally fair complexion and thin figure became a bit more beautiful, and her skin became whiter and brighter. The light color does not belong to the flamboyant category.
Xining nodded and then combed his hair. I specially selected a group of three small plum blossom hairpins and inserted them into the bun one after another, making it look playful and simple.
I got a thousand-wire silver phoenix bracelet and put it on. Although the bracelet is made of silver, the craftsmanship is excellent. The silver is first stretched into filaments, and then the silver wire is woven into a bracelet. The phoenix pattern is vivid. The joints of the bracelet are phoenix head and tail, and the body of the bracelet is also cast with auspicious clouds made of fine silk.
This was a reward from the palace. After Mrs. Zhao got it, she gave it to the owner alone. But the owner disliked it because it was just a silver bracelet and never wore it.
Xining couldn't help but touch it again and again, admiring it carefully. I really don't understand, I always wear those gold and jade, but I throw away such a special good thing.
After combing it properly, put on the black fox cape, and you are ready to go out.
When I walked to the door, the second lady Zhao Yingxue was already standing there waiting.
Compared to her casualness, Zhao Yingxue has been well-organized. She wears a pale pink embroidered purple embroidered flower on the inside, and a cyan and white rabbit skin-trimmed cloak on the outside. The colors are well matched and not ostentatious, but the whole person is transparent. It smells fresh and beautiful.
"Third sister!" Zhao Yingxue saluted her. Even if a concubine is older than a legitimate daughter, she still needs to be polite.
Xining nodded: "You don't have to wait for me, it's getting late, let's go."
This second sister is one year older than her, and it is also the time when they are planning to get married. In the body owner's memory, he never cared about the two concubine sisters. The eldest sister Yingyu is already married to a Hanlin bachelor and editor as his wife.
Although she was a junior official of the eighth rank, the fact that a concubine could become the official's wife was all because of General Zhao's face. In my memory, it seems that this time Zhao Yingxue gained the favor of the third prince and was accepted as a concubine. But when the entire Zhenguo General Mansion was destroyed, she also "died" of illness. Only one daughter was left, who was named by another concubine.
No matter how favored she is, she is still Aunt Xu's daughter and a descendant of the Huns. Even if you get married, you cannot escape the fate of death.
What's funny is that the women in the palace include not only Han women, but also Huns, and there are even two beauties from the Western Regions. At this time, I didn't think about any chaotic bloodline or anything like that.
On the other hand, the eldest sister still acted as the head wife, and she and her husband, who was a minor official, stayed close to each other, and they were able to stay together for a long time.
The carriages are ready at the door, and you can tell who is riding in which carriage at a glance.
Xining held Dongmei's hand and walked to the car on the small stool. Zhao Yingxue raised her hand to support him.
On the outstretched hand, the corner of a jade bracelet was revealed. The water head is really good, this is called low-key luxury. I didn't expect Aunt Xu to have so many good items. Wear it on Zhao Yingxue this time to give you a little more confidence.
"Second sister, don't worry about me, hurry up and get in the car. It's windy outside, be careful of getting cold." After Xining said this, she asked Dongmei to put down the curtain.
This made Zhao Yingxue so moved that her eyes were dazzled. She had always had her nose turned up in the air before. I don't know what happened today, but she actually talked to her and even cared about whether she caught a cold.
There were two carriages, the former one was spacious and beautiful, while the latter one was much smaller. Even the curtains were made of ordinary cotton. One after another, they drove slowly towards Prince Duan's Mansion.
Sitting in the car, Xining closed his eyes and rested. This body is a bit weak, and you will feel tired if you stay for a long time.
In the ancient civilization, she suffered from poor health. At that time, she was not in good health, so she only needed to be able to breathe. Don't like this feeling!
Dongmei, who was sitting next to her, saw it: "Miss, why don't you just lean in for a while? When we get there, I'll let the car stop for a while and I'll call you."
Xining nodded, not daring to lie down, otherwise his hair would be messed up, so he put his arms on the soft pillow and put his hands on his temples, squinting like this.
Afraid of bumps, the car was very slow. The capital is only that big. After half an hour, we finally arrived.
Several carriages had stopped beside the gate of Duke Rongguo's mansion. The servants were calling the carriage drivers of each family to line up the carriages along the wall.
Zhao Yingxue got out of the car first and walked to the third lady's car to wait. At this time, carriages from two more families arrived. This time Princess Jialin invited all the unmarried young ladies of eighth grade and above in the capital. Naturally, there were many of them.
Xining held Dongmei's hand and slowly stepped out of the carriage, naturally attracting a lot of attention. This time it was for the third prince to choose the princess. Everyone knew it and didn’t say anything, so one by one you looked at me and I stared at yours.
Some of the looks were hostile, and Xi Ning was secretly amused. Sister is just here to go through the motions, just like a passerby, A, B, B, D. She doesn’t want to be a princess. Is there any need to stare at her like a love rival?
Zhao Yingxue, who was standing by and waiting, held Yuanyang's hand. This time Aunt Xu also gave her full support and lent her maidservant to Zhao Yingxue.
Looking at Zhao Yingxue's appearance, she didn't look like a concubine. Ordinary 7th or 8th grade official Qingshui's legitimate daughter would only wear this when traveling.
Xining said with a bit of a smile: "Second sister is so good-looking that she will make other ladies envious and jealous."
Zhao Yingxue lowered her head slightly: "My third sister is not good-looking. My third sister's appearance is top-notch in the General's Mansion and even in the capital."
Xining let out a long breath: "No matter how good I look, what's the use of not being in good health? My family's elbows are all bent inwards. The second sister should be more careful after entering."
Zhao Yingxue lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly, so she meekly replied: "Three sisters are right."
