After the mother and son sat on the second floor for a quarter of an hour, they discovered a very special woman. She only picked up petals from the ground and ignored the plum blossoms in full bloom. After picking up some, she found a deserted place, dug a small hole with a stick, and buried the fallen petals in it.
Seeing the girl's actions, Queen Jing'an asked Zishu beside her: "Whose daughter is this?"
Zishu took two steps forward, took a look, and said, "This is the eldest daughter of Mr. Bo, the Salt Commissioner."
Salt Road Envoy? How come this configuration and operation are so similar to Lin Daiyu's? Seeing that the Crown Prince was also watching seriously, Empress Jing'an said to Ziyan, "Go down and take a look."
Ziyan followed the order and went downstairs. After a while, she walked over to Miss Bo and said, "Miss, my queen wants to see you. Please come with me."
The girl, who was feeling sad after burying the flowers, looked up at Ziyan and said, "I wonder if your queen is the queen? What do you want from me?"
Zi Yan saw that although the girl spoke in a gentle voice, she was also very graceful. She continued, "Yes, it's the Queen, please follow me."
Zi Yan pointed in a direction opposite to Xiangyun Pavilion. The girl looked in the direction Zi Yan pointed and asked, "Excuse me, what is your name, sister?" As she spoke, she took two steps away from Zi Yan.
Zi Yan was about to step forward, but the girl turned around and ran, and was quickly submerged in the plum forest.
Zi Yan smiled as she watched the girl disappear, then turned around and waved towards Xiangyun Pavilion.
Queen Jing'an nodded, then smiled and said to the Crown Prince, "He is quite quick-witted."
The prince withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly, saying, "If Queen Mother likes her, then make her the Crown Princess."
Seeing the Crown Prince's serious expression, Empress Jing'an patted him on the shoulder and said, "You little rascal, from now on you and the Crown Princess will be living together, so choose carefully. I'm telling you, if you haven't given birth to a legitimate son, you can't mess around even if you meet someone you love the most."
Looking helplessly at Empress Jing'an, the Crown Prince patted his chest and said, "Although I cannot swear to be with the Crown Princess forever, I will definitely not disrespect her."
All right, this kid's teaching was not in vain. Empress Jing'an then instructed Zishu, "Please invite the girls to Liuyun Pavilion for some tea and snacks. If you want to compete in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, arrange for that. The girls must have a great time. Also, keep a close eye on the inside and outside to prevent any accidents."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yan came up in a hurry. With a bad look on her face, she came over and reported, "Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Lingguo's mansion pushed down the second daughter of the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion."
Queen Jing'an closed her eyes, then opened them again and asked, "Is the person who fell injured?"
Zi Yan quickly added, "My Lady, the man is probably not injured, but his clothes were torn by the branches."
The prince had already walked a few steps away from the cloud and was sitting on the couch looking at the chessboard above.
After a while, Empress Jing'an ordered, "Go, take the girl from the Marquis Zhongqin's mansion to change her clothes first. Then take two palace maids with you and watch her change before sending her out of the palace."
After a pause, he asked Xiang Zishu, "The eldest daughter of the Duke of Lingguo's mansion is already 28 years old this year, right? Why hasn't she found a husband yet?"
Zishu stepped forward and replied, "I heard that she was engaged when she was young, but the man passed away a few years ago, so the marriage was delayed."
Oh, this is all old tricks. Empress Jing'an thought for a moment and said, "No one has dared to cause trouble at the palace banquets in recent years. Now I have no choice but to punish her. I'm just afraid that if I punish her, it will make it even harder for her to get married in the future."
