Chapter 245 (1/2)
245 Letter (1)
In the Imperial Palace of the capital.
The Crown Prince invited the brothers and sisters of the Tian family to the East Palace. As his biological sister, Lin ‘an arrived early and sat on the chair, swinging her feet under her skirt.
She was not wearing a red dress today. Instead, she was wearing a gorgeous purple dress with golden edges. She was wearing a Ruby Coral crown with the coral as the skeleton. Two lifelike golden phoenixes surrounded the Ruby in the middle, and six tassels with pearls hung down.
In addition, there were also gold buyao, Jade hairpin, and other jewelry. She was dressed in a gorgeous and exquisite way.
Purple was a common material used by the concubines in the palace, to set off the elegance and nobility of a mature woman. It was not suitable for young girls, but the temperament of Lin ‘an was too delicate, giving people the feeling of a doll dressed up.
Coupled with a round face and charming peach blossom eyes, she was both charming and flirtatious, yet proud and pure. There were many kinds of temperaments mixed together, but it was extremely easy to control.
There was still an hour before lunch, and the princes and princesses came to the eastern Palace one after another. Everyone had long been used to the gorgeous and exquisite beauty of Lin ‘an.
Among the four princesses, she was probably the only one who was suitable for this dress. If it were any other Princess, they would probably not be able to suppress their overly gorgeous dress.
Huaiqing’s looks were enough, but her temperament was not.
“Huaiqing hasn’t arrived yet?” Lin ‘an’s quick-witted eyes turned and looked outside the door.
“Send a message that she will come later.” The Crown Prince said with a smile. Then, he coughed and said,
“Today is the day of sale of the secretly made chicken essence by the Directorate of Celestials. Some were also sent to the palace. This is why bengong invited my younger brothers and sisters over to have a taste.”
Actually, a few days ago, the Directorate of Celestials had already “offered” a batch of chicken essence and sent it to the Imperial Kitchen. The princes and princesses had all enjoyed this insatiable seasoning.
Speaking of this hot topic, the princes and princesses began to chat with great interest.
“Speaking of this chicken essence, the taste is indeed irresistible, but it’s easy to get thirsty,”
yesterday, father said that this thing can’t be eaten too much. A light diet is the way to maintain health.
As he said this, the princes pouted their lips and disapproved of Emperor Yuan jing’s idea of maintaining his health. Only middle-aged people who had no choice would think of soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup. Why did young people need to maintain their health?
Lin ‘an looked left and right, his round and white jaw raised,”Do you guys know who invented the chicken spirit?”
At this time, it had become embarrassing and sulky.
The princes and princesses really didn’t know about this. There were only three people in the palace who knew about this. The crown prince’s framing and huaiqing. If the three of them didn’t say anything, no one would know.
Under the questioning of his brothers and sisters, framed chin rose even higher and said sweetly, “”It’s Xu Qi ‘an, my subordinate.”
She emphasized the second half of the sentence.
“Xu Qian?” The fourth prince frowned. isn’t that huaiqing’s man? ”
The fourth prince was huaiqing’s blood brother.
“He’s mine now. He swore his loyalty to me.” He was showing off his behavior of poaching huaiqing’s men.
Because in the eyes of her siblings, she had always been bullied by huaiqing. Now that she had finally managed to turn the tables, she couldn’t hold back anymore. The more outstanding Xu Qi ‘an was, the happier she was, because the sense of achievement she felt was greater.
All the princes and princesses couldn’t help but laugh. The fourth prince secretly frowned. He was very unhappy with Lin ‘an’s action of stealing his sister’s corner.
However, even though he was the DI son of the Empress and should have the highest status, the position of Crown Prince was passed to the Shu eldest son, the current crown Prince, the blood brother of Lin an.
At the same time, Emperor Yuan jing treated all his children equally, but he only doted on Lin ‘an and did not like huaiqing. This made the fourth prince even less confident.
His mother had said that huaiqing was strong and overbearing, just like his father when he was young, but he was much more talented. If she was a man, her father would probably hate her even more.
“Who is Xu Qi ‘an?”
At this moment, huaiqing’s cold and melodious voice came from outside the door. The eldest Princess, who was wearing a moon-colored Palace dress, arrived.
All the princes and princesses clearly saw that Lin ‘an’s arrogant aura deflated with a “Xiu.” At first, she was unconvinced and seemed to want to fight head-on, but then she cowered. She puffed her cheeks and said loudly, “”We’ll split it half each!”
He used the most arrogant tone to say the most cowardly words.
Huaiqing chuckled.
She knew that Xu Qi ‘an was able to take advantage of the situation. She turned a blind eye to it, mainly because Lin’ an was a stupid sister and was not a threat at all. Snatching her away was just to get at her.
If it was any other Prince, if they dared to snatch her people like this, huaiqing would have retaliated, mercilessly retaliating, and not like how he had treated Lin ‘an, who was only scaring her.
Huaiqing walked in front of Lin ‘an and looked down at her from above.”Go away, I want this seat.”
The mounted man raised his head and could only see huaiqing’s eyes. He couldn’t see the lower half of her face because the disgusting few pounds of flesh on huaiqing’s chest blocked his view.
This made her very discouraged. This sister of hers was not only more talented than her, but also had a better figure. Other than her father’s love for her, there was nothing else that she could compare to huaiqing.
Ming Ji was a delicate girl, and after being bullied by huaiqing, she turned her head away aggrievedly.
She had no choice. She couldn’t win in a fight, and quarreling would be beneath her status as a Princess. Moreover, huaiqing was a scholar, and his words were not dirty. He was not her match.
The Crown Prince “coughed” and came out to warm up the scene, “”Huaiqing, don’t lower yourself to Lin ‘an’s level. You’re the older sister.”
Only then did huaiqing let go of the framing and stop bullying his sister.
…..
“Have you heard about what happened in the Imperial study today?” the Crown Prince asked casually while they were eating.
“The commandment monument and the water transportation Yamen?” the fourth prince immediately asked.
The Crown Prince nodded and smiled. we don’t have to interfere in the water transportation Yamen’s matter. Let the officials of the court and father make the decision. On the other hand, the matter of the commandment monument is truly amazing.”
The fourth prince nodded. you eat and you earn. The People’s wealth is the cream of the people. The people are easy to abuse, but the heavens can’t bully them!
“Good poem!” Huaiqing’s eyes lit up, and her beautiful face bloomed with radiance.
She had always been a person of few words when she ate or slept, but the inner core of this poem made the eldest Imperial daughter’s heart surge. She liked it more than ” when drunk, you don’t know the sky is water, and the dark fragrance floats in the evening moon.
What kind of lousy poem is this? it doesn’t have any artistic conception at all … Ming Ming said in her heart.
“Who wrote this poem?” Huai Qing asked, staring at the fourth prince.
She never paid attention to news from the palace.
“It’s Xu Qi ‘an,” the Crown Prince answered on his behalf.
