Chapter 90: Miraculous Medicine
Eldest princess?
When Sun Dagui heard these three words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He lifted the curtain and saw a convoy approaching from afar.
The followers held red staffs, road-clearing flags, crimson banners, etc.
This is the ceremonial procession for the eldest princess's travel.
In the center stands a luxurious carriage, the eaves of which are decorated with five-colored tassels and hung with phoenix bells. There is also a jade plaque with the word Anyang engraved on it.
The phoenix is a forbidden object among the people.
Only women of the royal family are allowed.
Sun Dagui recognized the carriage at a glance; it was the carriage from Princess Anyang's mansion.
Although he was not qualified to see the princess, he had seen a carriage in front of the princess's mansion...
Looking at the group of followers, they were all wearing clothes from Princess Anyang's mansion.
"Princess Anyang is traveling, please make way for her!" the attendants shouted.
The servants pulling the cart retreated in a hurry.
Sun Dagui was very surprised. He jumped down from the carriage happily, trotted forward, and knelt respectfully in front of the team:
"I am Sun Dagui, and wish the Princess good health and happiness! I came to the capital from Mianzhou Villa to deliver flowers. I heard that Your Highness is eager to see this year's flowers... I came here specially to present flowers!"
The leading follower looked at him and stepped forward to report.
Just a moment.
Then a maid came over, looking arrogant:
"Are you the one who sent flowers to Mianzhou Villa this year?"
"Yes!" Sun Dagui was very respectful and knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.
He had come with his father to deliver flowers once, but that time he didn't even see the maidservant beside the princess...
Outside men are not allowed to enter the backyard.
A small steward in the Princess's Mansion handed over the task, and the father and son took their leave.
The princess owned more than a dozen flower gardens like Mianzhou Villa. The one his father managed was remote and small, so it sent the least flowers each time and didn't grow any rare species, so it didn't rank among the villas.
"Let me see the token." said the maid.
Sun Dagui hurriedly and respectfully presented the token of Mianzhou Villa.
The maid took a quick look and said:
"Where is the pot of rare flowers that His Highness wants? Hand it over. As for the rest, just continue to send them to the palace. Someone will receive them."
"Fairy girl, please come this way. It's in the second car." Sun Dagui immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
The maid, accompanied by two guards, followed Sun Dagui to the second carriage that was delivering flowers.
Sun Dagui personally opened the secret compartment in the carriage.
Take out a pot of strange flowers that look like yellow peony.
"Please, Fairy, say a few good words to me in front of His Highness!" Sun Dagui took out the flower pot and presented it to the maid:
"I have been delivering flowers to Your Highness all the way. I have been traveling day and night and have not dared to rest for a moment!"
The maid took the flowerpot, ignored him, and went straight back to the carriage.
But Sun Dagui had no complaints.
He imagined that the maidservants around the eldest princess would be so arrogant and look down on others.
…
In the spacious carriage.
Jiang Rong was wearing a phoenix-tail brocade skirt custom-made for the eldest princess.
Although according to the plan, Sun Dagui could not see her at all, but she put on a full show. Not only did she ask Xie Lingxi to help her find a dress tailored for the eldest princess, she also asked Xiao Nanxing to prepare pills that would make her voice hoarse.
If you really want to meet someone, just pretend to have a cold...
These clothes were secretly picked out from the palace's clothing bureau.
Every stitch was made by a palace embroiderer. The clothes were originally made by the Shangyi Bureau for Princess Anyang...
Princesses, princes, and royal consorts are given a regulated amount of clothing, jewelry, etc. each year according to their status and rank.
This set will be delivered to the Princess's Mansion in a month.
Now it has been shipped out of the warehouse in advance.
Also transported out was the imperial carriage custom-made for the Princess's Mansion.
I don’t know what kind of connections Xie Lingxi has in the palace, but all these things were prepared in less than a day.
As for the ceremonial guards, those of the eldest princess and the princess are the same.
It was taken out from the Northern Prince’s Palace.
If we talk about loopholes, there are some.
She does not have the jade pendant that qualifies her as the eldest princess.
But as long as they don't go to places where jade pendants need to be checked, people like Sun Dagui, when they meet the princess's procession, would dare to ask the princess to check his jade pendant?
"Master..." Feicui walked in holding the pot of Xia Shi Jiao Dan and presented it.
Xiao Nanxing, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, immediately stepped forward and checked carefully, "It is indeed Xia Shijiao Pill!"
"That's great, Princess. You are so resourceful. You can actually think of this method to get the miraculous medicine!" Feicui praised with admiration.
"Although the idea is good, it can only be done with the presence of the prince." Jiang Rong smiled faintly, looked at Xie Lingxi beside him, stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve and shook it:
"Thank you, husband, for coming with me to get the medicine."
"Your idea is very good." Xie Lingxi said.
If they just snatch it, if they don't get the flower in the first place, the other party will threaten to destroy it, and they will be at a disadvantage.
This move is really brilliant.
"Thank you for the compliment, husband. Although Rong'er is weak, there will always be more ideas if there is one more person to think of ways. I heard that a husband and wife working together can accomplish anything. Husband, if you have anything to discuss with me in the future, maybe everything will go smoothly." Jiang Rong never forgets to remind Xie Lingxi to take her with her!
Husband, where are you going and what are you doing? Take me with you!
Xie Lingxi lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who was secretly recommending herself in front of him. She was really so cute.
"Fei Cui, let's go now. By the way, send someone to give those slaves some silver later and let them escape immediately..."
As for that Sun Dagui, she had already seen his intelligence and he deserved to be put to death.
There is no need to worry about how Princess Anyang will settle the score with him.
But most of the slaves were poor people.
Xia Shijiao's elixir was taken away by me, and I'm afraid those people will be killed by the princess to vent her anger.
"Yes!" Jadeite obeyed.
The carriage continued to move forward.
Sun Dagui knelt respectfully on the side of the road, watching the convoy from the Princess's Mansion go farther and farther away.
"Master, why didn't you ask to see Her Royal Highness the Princess this time..." said the maid.
Sun Dagui slapped her in the face, "What do you know? The eldest princess is of noble status, and I am not worthy of meeting her. It is a great blessing for me to meet your highness's personal maid... She is worthy of being a maid by the princess' side, and she is as elegant as the daughter of a wealthy family... It would be great if I could marry the eldest princess's maid."
"I have left an impression on the princess today. Maybe the princess's mansion will reward me more when I return!"
"What you are talking about is..." The maid covered her face and flattered aggrievedly.
The eldest princess' carriage rumbled along and didn't go far.
A convoy appeared on the official road ahead.
As if seeing the eldest princess's procession, the convoy over there stopped immediately.
After a while, a beautiful woman came out of the carriage with a young girl.
"Xiang, the wife of the Minister of Rites, requests to see Her Royal Highness the Princess." The beautiful woman raised her voice.
Xiao Nanxing and Feicui in the carriage both became nervous.
"Princess Anyang often attends various palace banquets, and most of the noble ladies in the capital know her." Feicui said worriedly:
"She might find out."
