Chapter 376 The Prince's Favorite Style
Prince An and Princess An were talking to the Queen Mother in the Queen Mother's palace when suddenly a palace servant came in carrying a food box.
"Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince asked us to deliver this."
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at the palace maid: "What is this?"
"Your Majesty, these are the snacks that the Crown Prince and the Young Master bought outside the palace."
The Queen Mother: "Where are the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince?"
Prince An and Princess An also felt it was a little strange, even though it was not yet time for dinner.
But since the prince and Xiao Jingran had already returned to the palace, why did they just send snacks over but didn't show up? ?
The palace servant said respectfully, "The Crown Prince and the Young Master said they had to go back to the East Palace first and will come back later."
The Queen Mother did not ask the Crown Prince and Xiao Jingran why they returned to the East Palace, but just said softly: "Put your things down."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
The palace servant handed the food box to Aunt Fang and left.
Aunt Fang stepped forward, presented the food box to the Queen Mother, and then opened the outer lid.
The Queen Mother looked at the exquisite snacks in the food box, her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles: "The Crown Prince and Ran'er are both filial and good children."
Every time Lianxiangzhai released a new product, the Empress Dowager would be the first to ask people to buy it.
Although the plum blossom salty pancake on top was recently released, she had already tried it.
Not to mention other pastries.
But what was contained in the food box were not ordinary snacks, but things that the prince and Ran'er had bought specially to honor her.
It's rare that the children think of her when they see something delicious.
This is not comparable to any ordinary snack, this is the filial piety of our beloved grandchildren.
She had to savor it.
Princess An also smiled and said, "The Crown Prince has always been the most filial and respectful to his mother, Your Majesty, and the Queen."
As for Ran'er, I just hope he can behave well in the palace these days and not do anything weird.
The Queen Mother: "These are all the new dim sum from Lianxiangzhai. We can try them together after dinner."
Princess An: "Thank you, mother."
The Queen Mother: "Why are you still saying thank you to me, mother?"
As she spoke, she asked someone to put the food box aside and continued talking to Prince An and his wife.
Prince An and Princess An both had smiles on their faces, but they were worried in their hearts whether Xiao Jingran would cause trouble in the East Palace at this time.
They even suspected that the reason why the prince did not come to the Queen Mother first was because of his own son.
*
Xiao Jingran, who was in the East Palace, didn't know that his father and mother were thinking about him. He was holding his head high.
"Brother Prince, a little to the left."
"This is too left again. It needs to be a little more right."
The prince was standing on a ladder, his hand stretched out to hang a little rabbit lantern.
Xiao Jingran stood below, seriously instructing the prince to hang lanterns.
Surrounding him were a group of palace maids who looked terrified and trembling.
I was afraid that the prince would lose his balance and fall down.
If the prince really got injured here, their lives would probably be in danger.
These lanterns were brought back by the prince and Xiao Jingran from outside the palace, or bought by Xiao Jingran with his own New Year's money.
When Xiao Jingran saw the lanterns with cute little animals on them, he liked them so much that he insisted on buying them.
He also bought other things and said that he would help the prince decorate the palace when he returned.
This will create a more festive atmosphere.
The prince originally wanted to refuse, but after looking at Xiao Jingran's sparkling eyes and those cute little gadgets, he finally agreed.
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
The prince tiptoed gently, hung the lantern in his hand on the hook, and then carefully walked down the stairs.
Xiao Jingran clapped his hands, looking excited: "Brother Crown Prince is really amazing."
The prince looked up at the lantern above his head and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Ran'er is also very good, and the lanterns he picked are all very beautiful."
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, although red lanterns were hung in the East Palace, it always gave people a cold and deserted feeling.
Now that it is arranged like this, it looks much more lively.
After a pause, the prince added, "Not only the lanterns, I also like all the things Ran'er bought today. I have to thank Ran'er very much."
When he was with Xiao Jingran, he habitually called himself "I".
Hearing the prince praising him, Xiao Jingran straightened his back: "Don't be polite, as long as the prince likes it."
My mother said that the New Year must be prosperous and lively.
He bought these things just to make the New Year atmosphere more festive for the prince.
In this way, the prince will be in a much better mood.
The palace maid beside him hesitated to speak. The prince had never paid much attention to the New Year before. When did he care so much about the Spring Festival decoration? ?
Furthermore, these arrangements are really...
Forgive their shortsightedness.
After serving the prince for so many years, I never realized that he liked this style.
The prince smiled and was about to speak when he heard a palace servant come to report that Prince An had arrived.
"Uncle Wang is here? Let him in quickly."
As soon as he saw Prince An coming in, Xiao Jingran stepped forward happily: "Father, are you here to take Ran'er to dinner?"
Prince An: ...
No, I'm just worried that you might get into trouble here.
The prince: "Uncle Wang, is the dinner time advanced?"
Prince An smiled and said, "No, I was just passing by and took a look at what you were doing."
Prince: ???
Where did Uncle Wang go? How did he happen to pass by the East Palace?
Xiao Jingran pulled Prince An's sleeve and said, "Father, you came at the right time. I have decorated the place for my brother, the Crown Prince. It is beautiful and lively. Do you want to take a look?"
Prince An looked a little strange: "Father has seen it on the road just now, it is indeed very lively."
He knew his son too well.
If it was Xiao Jingran who suggested coming to the East Palace this time, it must be nothing good.
After much deliberation, Prince An decided to visit the East Palace in person.
If Xiao Jingran really did something out of line here, as a father, he would naturally have to help clean up the mess.
As soon as he stepped into the East Palace, Prince An knew what Xiao Jingran was doing here.
In addition to lanterns of various shapes on the corridor, there are also some strange-looking animal dolls.
Even the windows are covered with various kinds of paper-cuts.
There are quite a lot of patterns, including snowflake patterns, as well as patterns of small animals such as rabbits and chickens.
Some of them were pasted crookedly, and you could tell at first glance that they were pasted by his son.
Xiao Jingran: "Father, you also think it's very festive and lively, right? These were all chosen by Ran'er."
Prince An nodded: "Father guessed it."
Just now, every few steps I took in the corridor, I would bump into those strange dolls.
It is indeed quite lively.
The entire East Palace is decorated in a lavish manner, and upon closer inspection, it feels a bit weird.
The prince used to be very methodical in his work and always followed the rules.
There is no need to think about it, these things must have been chosen by Xiao Jingran.
The prince stood aside, looking at Xiao Jingran with a smile, as if he thought what he said made sense.
The veins in Prince An's solar plexus jumped fiercely: "Now that everything is arranged, let's go to your Royal Grandmother's Palace now. Don't let them wait too long."
Today's banquet was held in the Empress Dowager's palace. Emperor Jingning and the Empress still had things to deal with today. When the time came, they would go to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The prince said: "Uncle Wang is right, let's set off now."
By now, my father and mother should be almost done with their work.
Although it was a family dinner, they couldn't let the elders wait for them.
Xiao Jingran also nodded: "Then let's go to the Royal Grandmother now."
Anyway, they have already decorated the East Palace, so it's just right to go there now.
