Chapter 59 It's just a big bed
On this day, Song Zhimian went to the inner palace.
A batch of tribute materials and ornaments just arrived at the Imperial Household Department, and the Crown Princess asked Song Zhimian to take some people to select some.
“Whenever tribute items are sent to the inner palace, Father Emperor always lets the Crown Prince’s side choose first.”
"Master Song, you are now in charge of Jue-ge'er's courtyard. Go and select some things, anything is fine, as long as it reflects the Emperor's wishes."
Song Zhimian immediately agreed.
Then he took four eunuchs to the inner palace to pick out things.
The tribute items were all of high quality; Song Zhimian selected some valuable and rare items, which could also be used in light of Xiao Jingjue's identity.
The main point is that as long as you have the right status, you get everything.
They wouldn't even give someone a second glance if they weren't of high enough status.
After they finished choosing, Emperor Xiao Xuan immediately had two bolts of satin delivered to him.
The one who came to deliver the satin was none other than Zheng Wanwan, the most powerful woman in the palace at the moment, the one who made the concubines of the six palaces grit their teeth and tear countless handkerchiefs.
"Master Song, this is a piece of silk satin that His Majesty sent over."
It is said that the little prince is growing up day by day, and his height is growing much faster than before.
"I sent these satins over so that you can make some more underwear for the young prince."
Zheng Wanwan spoke softly, showing no sign of being favored by the emperor.
At first glance, she appears to be just an ordinary palace servant.
But there are rumors in the palace that only Zheng Wanwan is constantly by His Majesty's side.
His Majesty now only drinks the tea she serves...
It was precisely because she was guarding the entrance to the Hall of Diligent Governance that the snacks and soups that the Imperial Concubine had painstakingly prepared were unable to enter the Hall of Diligent Governance.
Strangely enough, when the other concubines went to deliver soup and snacks, it was always Eunuch Xue who received them.
Whenever someone from Consort Wu's palace brought soup or snacks, it was always Zheng Wanwan who delivered them...
Each time, Consort Wu was so angry that she went back and smashed a lot of things...
Song Zhimian hurriedly and solemnly accepted it.
However, after taking a look at Zheng Wanwan, Song Zhimian suddenly realized that Zheng Wanwan's eyebrows and eyes actually resembled those of Lord Ye from the Censorate.
At first glance, it seems impossible to tell.
But upon closer inspection, it really does look more and more like it.
However, Lord Ye's smile was not so warm and gentle. Lord Ye rarely smiled, and his whole being exuded a cold and aloof aura.
This startled Song Zhimian.
Without time to think about anything, Song Zhimian quickly took the gifts from the palace and the ones she had chosen back to the East Palace.
...
Upon returning to the East Palace, he immediately instructed the eunuchs around him to register the items brought back from the Imperial Household Department, and then sent someone to inform the Crown Princess that Emperor Xiao Xuan had sent over the Heavenly Silk Satin.
Song Zhimian then noticed that Xiao Jingjue was no longer in the courtyard.
"He was taken away by His Highness Prince Qi?" Song Zhimian was a little surprised.
"Yes! His Highness Prince Qi and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have both said so."
The little prince is almost five years old now, he can go out and see the world.
In two days, it will be the day that Prince Shen goes to the north. His Highness Prince Qi will hold a farewell banquet for Prince Shen and will come to pick up the young prince to play for a while.
"His Highness Prince Qi said that if Master Song is worried, he can go to Chun Bu Wan in the capital to keep an eye on things," the eunuch who remained immediately said.
Song Zhimian carefully considered these words.
Let's go take a look!
Since entering the inner palace, I haven't been out for a long time. After leaving the inner palace, I'm back to the small territory of the Eastern Palace...
It's a good opportunity to go out and see the world.
"Did Your Highness take a change of clothes with you when you took the young prince out?" Song Zhimian asked immediately.
"No! His Highness Prince Qi only took the young prince away!" the eunuch immediately said.
"Go and prepare a set of clothes for His Highness."
Underwear, inner garment, outer garment, shoes and socks—a complete set.
It's hot. What if the little prince gets too excited and his clothes get soaked with sweat?
"Take these and deliver them to the young prince!" Song Zhimian immediately gave the order.
...
After informing the Crown Princess, she immediately had someone prepare a waist token for Song Zhimin.
Thus, Song Zhimian was in a very good mood, as it was the first time she could openly stroll the streets since entering the inner palace.
Looking out the window at the bustling street scene, Song Zhimian had two completely different feelings.
When she first arrived here, she went out twice.
At that time, I felt like the sky was falling and I didn't know how I was going to live like this!
Now...
Life wasn't so bad after all; at least now I don't have to worry about being married off to an old man...
Song Zhimian was in a great mood.
Indeed, no matter where you are, you must strive hard and keep moving forward!
At this moment, Song Zhimian felt that the air outside was especially sweet...
The Crown Prince's carriage had a special emblem, and no one dared to stop it.
Soon we arrived at the entrance of Chunbuwan.
Looking at Chun Buwan who had come before, Song Zhimian breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting off the carriage, the eunuch behind him brought out the clothes he had brought.
As soon as spring arrived, the shopkeeper of Chunbulan came to greet us.
"Is it Master Song? His Highness Prince Qi has asked me to wait here for you, and I have been waiting for you for quite some time."
"Please come upstairs!" The charming female shopkeeper smiled as she led Song Zhimian upstairs at Chunbuwan.
Song Zhimian then realized that the Spring Festival Gala was booked out for today, and no one else could get in...
Thinking back to my first visit to Chunbuyun, I realized I only had enough money to buy a pot of tea in the lobby on the first floor...
Now, I can actually go upstairs to a private room without spending a single penny...
It seems I do have the ability to socialize upwards.
As Song Zhimian pondered this, she gently lifted her skirt and went up to the third floor.
The second and third floors of Chunbuwan are all private rooms. At this moment, Xiao Jingjue is happily playing a game of "you can't catch me" with a group of guards on the second floor.
He glanced at Song Zhimian once and then looked away with pity.
A group of highly skilled guards have to play with a little kid and pretend they can't catch him...
Well, that's pretty difficult!
Song Zhimian gave a slight curtsy to Xiao Jingjue, who was waving to her from afar, then followed the tea boy into the largest private room on the third floor, carrying her clothes...
"Really, we got caught red-handed!"
I heard that the young master of the Tian family was disheveled, and the young lady of the Ruan family was beaming with pleasure.
"Oh? It seems the good thing has come to fruition! Consort Ruan in the palace must be anxious to death!"
That Miss Ruan is determined to marry the King of Wu!
"I don't know about that. Anyway, I was cornered inside, and a lot of people saw it..."
Just as Wei Yanli was about to elaborate further, Xiao Huaijin kicked him.
Then I saw Song Zhimian enter the house.
Both Wei Yanli and the young master Shen, who had just been talking happily, looked a little embarrassed.
“Um… Master Song, look at you, you don’t even make a sound when you walk.”
We didn't even know you came in.
"You probably didn't hear what we just said, did you?" Wei Yanli asked awkwardly.
Song Zhimian nodded expressionlessly.
"I heard that!"
Wei Yanli, Prince Shen...
"What did you hear?" Wei Yanli asked instinctively.
"It's just a matter of a big bed," Song Zhimian said casually.
"Pfft!" Xiao Huaijin, who had just taken a sip of tea...
Wei Yanli, Prince Shen...
