Chapter 17
Lan Fang Hall.
"Your Majesty, the princess has come to pay her respects to you." Jinxiu, the personal maid who was massaging Concubine Lan's shoulders and temples, reported in a low voice.
Concubine Lan was originally enjoying herself with her eyes closed. She had been very favored during the spring hunting days, but she was tired from all the traveling and was old, so fatigue was inevitable.
Hearing this, she opened her eyes and looked outside.
Jing Yue is tall and wears a light blue palace dress with a waist-cinching design, which makes her waist, legs, fair skin and beautiful face appear even more slender.
Concubine Lan frowned at first - A Yue couldn't grow any taller. If she was taller, people would probably notice.
This situation has exceeded her expectations. Fortunately, her mother is taller, so she can still get away with it.
Only after seeing Jing Yue wearing the cloud-haired and flower-faced headdress that she had given her at the hunting ground did Concubine Lan relax her brows and reveal a satisfied smile.
——Being tall is still a good excuse to hide it. But if Ayue doesn't like to dress up, and loses the girlish beauty, and inadvertently reveals a hint of masculinity, it will be difficult to hide it, and it may even fail!
Fortunately, A Yue's appearance was like hers. With a little dressing up, she could outshine all the other beauties and was the most beautiful among the princesses.
"Your son pays his respects to Mother." Jing Yue always cooperated in public. He raised his voice, revealing a soft and tender tone.
Concubine Lan smiled and said, "We just returned to the palace from the hunting grounds. We were exhausted from the bumpy ride. Why don't you get some sleep today? You don't have to come here to pay your respects so often. If you have time, please pay more attention to your marriage. And also prepare some supplements for your husband. He's been frightened twice in a row, which is really heartbreaking."
Jing Yue: "...I understand." He lowered his brows and eyes and said respectfully, "I came here not only to pay my respects to Mother, but also to present to Mother the thoughts of this son and the Prince Consort."
"Oh? The Prince Consort and you have some good intentions? Show them to me now." Concubine Lan signaled Jinxiu not to serve anymore and leaned forward, looking very interested.
Jing Yue gestured behind her, and Su Lian, along with two young eunuchs, presented a set of three dolls of Yuanbao's design to Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan lifted the red cloth with great interest: "This is..."
"I gave the Prince Consort a little fox I hunted at the hunting grounds. He raised it as a pet and personally painted a picture of the little fox. He said that if he made it look like this and placed it in his bedroom, it would amuse people."
Concubine Lan: "It's really interesting. It turns out that the Prince Consort is such a thoughtful person."
Jing Yue: "As long as mother likes it."
Lan Fei couldn't let go of the largest one and held it in her arms: "It's very comfortable to hold, soft and light. Can Yue'er keep it?"
Jing Yue: "I have ordered the Clothing Bureau to continue working hard to make six sets. By then, my husband and I will each have one set, and his four sisters will each have one set."
Concubine Lan nodded approvingly: "Yue'er is really thoughtful."
Although after they get married, the prince consort will move to the princess's residence and they don't have to live in the marquis's residence, but they will inevitably visit each other during festivals or free time. There is no harm in maintaining good relations with the four daughters of the marquis's residence.
Concubine Lan had her own reasons. The young marquis had married the princess and become a royal consort. Even if his career was difficult, he was still a royal relative, holding a different status than ordinary people. The Marquis of Ding'an had made significant contributions, and his four daughters would certainly choose a husband of the lowest caliber. A family of high caliber was naturally the first choice, and families worthy of the title of "high caliber" were unlikely to have too many problems.
As long as their sons are loyal to the court, study diligently, and do not take sides at will, they can ensure that the marquis's mansion will not be implicated.
As long as the Marquis' Mansion is not implicated, Yue'er will not be implicated.
Jing Yue naturally understood his mother's intentions, so he took this action to prepare for the future.
…
Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
After waking up from a nightmare, Lin Zhiyi sat alone and thought about random things for a while, but did not get up. After half an hour, he fell asleep again with the quilt.
It was not until noon that Gu Tingxuan came to call her and she finally woke up.
Last night couldn’t be said to be her first good sleep since she traveled through time, but at least it was a night when she could sleep more soundly.
The nightmare was another matter. First of all, she knew she was home and not in the wilderness, so she relaxed physically and mentally. Secondly, President Lin was a domineering CEO after all, and he had a very good attitude. She decided to make the best of things, and she had the confidence to shoulder all the responsibilities left by the original owner.
President Lin's eyes are so sharp. When she first met the people in the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, she could see that the mansion was very harmonious, the parents were loving, and the sisters were affectionate. Except for the fact that she was disguised as a man, which was a big secret - and also a hidden danger - everything else was harmonious, friendly and warm.
Gu Tingxuan looked at her sleepy appearance, feeling angry and helpless: "Zhiqi woke up a long time ago and practiced swordplay all morning." Lin Zhiyi: "!!!"
Rui Sibai, second sister!
I really hate it. It would have been great if the Marquis had let my second sister dress up as a man!
What's wrong with having big breasts? You can use a binder or a waist wrap if you have big breasts! Wouldn't it be better to make your chest and waist the same size?
Alas... I don't know how to adapt.
Lin Zhiyi complained inwardly and began the same process as in the hunting ground - binding her chest - then choosing suitable clothes to change into - and then tying her hair.
She is very deft and has learned how to tie hair like men in ancient times. She can also do a little bit of creativeness by braiding the hair so that the loose hair does not look abrupt and the high ponytail is not monotonous. When paired with a jade crown, she looks energetic and handsome!
Gu Tingxuan warned her: "I will often stay at your second sister's place in the future. Remember not to get up too late in the morning, so as not to let the maids find out."
"Understood, Master." Lin Zhiyi responded with a smile, and then asked, "Master, what should I do today?"
"What do you want to do?" Gu Tingxuan asked her.
She was about to speak when Gu Tingxuan interrupted her with the second half of her sentence - "Okay, okay, take care of your injury."
"oh."
"Rest for another ten days, and then you can go to school."
Huh? Still need to go to school?
Isn’t it said that after Princess Shang, there will be no chance of taking the imperial examination?
Gu Tingxuan seemed to see through her confusion and said calmly, "You should maintain your good relationships with your classmates. Besides, reading more will be beneficial to you."
"Understood, Master."
Gu Tingxuan: "In a month, we can start preparing for your wedding with the princess."
"oh."
After Lin Zhiyi returned to Beijing, he stayed in his own courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion for three days.
——Read books and practice calligraphy to understand the culture, customs, and folkways of this dynasty, and strive to absorb the memories, knowledge... and martial arts of the original owner that she has not yet had time to digest.
Well... she can maintain the original owner's strong physique. After all, she has practiced Sanda in the present life, mainly for body shaping and supplemented by self-protection. But if she is asked to become a martial arts master like the original owner all of a sudden, such as riding a horse, shooting arrows, and wielding swords and guns, then she really can't do it.
Otherwise... I'd like to personally observe my second sister's martial arts foundation some other day and then make plans?
On the fourth day, Lin Zhiyi had just finished dressing and was about to visit his second sister's courtyard when someone came to report that the princess had given many gifts to the Marquis' Mansion!
Since the Marquis was away, the young Marquis Lin Zhiyi was the head of the household. She led the female members of the family to express gratitude, accept the reward, and take care of all matters before she had time to open her gift.
——It’s the set of dolls in the shape of ingots.
Lively and fresh, with exquisite craftsmanship.
No need to guess, this is definitely what the four sisters got.
Princess... put her heart into it.
