Yu Jin was overjoyed: "Thank you, father, thank you, mother!"
Seeing him excitedly perform a great ceremony, Emperor Jingming curled his lips, raised his foot and kicked him, saying, "You are useless!"
Then he glanced at Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian forced a smile and said, "For such a big event, don't let any news leak out until the decree is issued."
"I understand."
"Go away, go away." Emperor Jingming waved his hands.
Seeing Yu Jin walking unsteadily, Emperor Jingming shook his head and said to Concubine Xian with a smile: "Look how happy the Seventh Prince is. This kid is really a simple-minded person and can't keep his cool at all."
"Your Majesty is right." Concubine Xian squeezed out these words from between her teeth for the third time.
"That's it. Once the Princess of Shu is chosen, I will pass on the decree. Please take care of the rest, my beloved." After giving the instructions, Emperor Jingming walked out with his hands behind his back.
Pan Hai stepped forward and drew aside the brocade curtain that blocked the wind.
The spring is chilly and the fragrance of plum blossoms is coming.
Emperor Jingming looked up at the gray sky and felt a little disappointed.
It's really boring to stay in this huge palace for a long time. If Miss Jiang becomes his daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be possible to watch her perform magic tricks from time to time?
Jiang Si in the carriage suddenly sneezed.
"The girl has caught a cold!" Ah Man was very nervous and quickly took a handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Si to wipe it.
Jiang Si took the handkerchief and wiped it, then waved his hands: "It's not cold, don't be surprised."
Why did she sneeze for no reason? She felt like someone was targeting her.
Ah Man came over, looking mysterious: "Girl, how are you doing in the palace?"
The imperial palace was different from other places. A maid like Ah Man didn't even have the qualifications to enter and could only wait in the inner city.
Ah Man was so depressed that he left the palace, but he finally couldn't help asking.
"Not bad." Jiang Si replied with two words with a smile.
"Girl, what does it mean to be okay?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "It's OK."
She didn't lose face, nor did she suffer any loss, and she even received many beautiful plum blossoms from Yu Qi. Of course it was okay.
As for whether she could become the Princess of Yan, it was not up to her to decide, and there was no need for her to worry about it.
"Did you receive the plum blossoms from the prince?" Ah Man asked, covering his face.
She had inquired about it. At today's flower-viewing banquet, the two princes would give a plum blossom to whichever girl they liked.
The girls are so pretty, it shouldn't be hard for them to get two plum blossoms, right? The two princes are not blind.
Humph, it makes me angry just thinking about it. At that time, those noble ladies' maids even sarcastically asked why her daughter was invited. What a bunch of fools with no vision.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Got it."
"How many?" Ah Man's eyes sparkled.
Jiang Si had no intention of teasing the little maid, so he smiled and said, "Six."
"What?" Ah Man blinked.
Jiang Si closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Ah Man shook his ginger-like arm fiercely: "Miss, is it really six? I didn't hear it wrongly."
"Yes, there are six." Jiang opened his eyes helplessly.
Ah Man held his face and screamed: "Girl is so amazing!"
The girl is really trying hard to make herself proud. When she gets the chance to meet those little rascals again, she will show off to them and make them look down on her!
After calming down, Ah Man pinched his face and said, "But there are only two princes. How come the girl received six plum blossoms?"
"King Yan gave me all the flowers."
"The girl is really amazing!" Ah Man praised with shining eyes.
Old Madam Feng had sent people to guard the gate early on. As soon as she saw the carriage from the Bo Mansion returning, she immediately ran into Ci Xin Hall to report.
"Madam, the fourth girl is back!"
Madam Feng stood up suddenly and said, "Please invite the fourth young lady to come to Ci Xin Hall!"
Seeing the servants walking out, Madam Feng called them back again: "Is the eldest master back?"
"The eldest master hasn't come back yet."
Only then did Mrs. Feng feel relieved.
When she thought of Jiang Ancheng, she felt a headache.
Fortunately, the eldest brother was out during the two days when the fourth girl received the post, otherwise she would have been in trouble.
After being mother and son for so many years, Old Lady Feng understood her eldest son's temper very well. She knew that her eldest son would definitely avoid such a thing that seemed very glorious to others.
I don’t know who this son takes after. He has no ambition at all!
Old Madam Feng was complaining in her heart when she saw a young girl in a light green hooded cape walk in.
She resisted the urge to stand up and said calmly, "I'm back."
Jiang Si took off the cloak and handed it to the maid beside him, then stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Grandma."
Old Madam Feng carefully looked at her granddaughter who had just entered the room, but she looked calm and there was no sign of anything wrong.
She had no choice but to ask, "How is the palace?"
"Not bad." Jiang Si replied.
Old Madam Feng frowned.
What does it mean?
"Have you done anything out of the ordinary to displease me?"
Jiang Si smiled faintly: "I just performed my talent at the suggestion of the queen."
Old Madam Feng nodded.
Sounds ok.
"Okay, just follow the rules in the palace. You must be tired after going out early in the morning, so go back and have a rest." Old Madam Feng wanted to ask her granddaughter whether she received flowers from the prince, but seeing Jiang Si so calm, she gave up the idea.
It was already a blessing to receive an invitation from the palace. How could the fourth girl, with her conditions, possibly receive flowers from the prince?
Asking this is just boring yourself.
Old Madam Feng closed her eyes and rested.
There were hurried footsteps.
"What's the matter?" Old Madam Feng asked when she saw the head maid Ah Fu coming in with a little maid who was guarding the stove in the ear room.
"Madam, Cui'er heard something about the fourth lady from Ah Man."
Old Madam Feng looked at the little maid.
"Go ahead." Ah Fu patted the maid.
The little maid was a little excited: "Reporting to the old lady, Ah Man just told me in the ear room... the fourth lady got six plum blossoms at the plum blossom viewing banquet!"
"Nonsense!"
When Old Madam Feng scolded her, the little maidservant was immediately frightened and fell silent.
"Go and invite the fourth girl back!"
Before Jiang Si even reached Haitangju, he was invited back to Cixintang.
"I wonder if Grandma has any other instructions?"
Old Madam Feng looked Jiang Si up and down in silence.
Such silence might make many little girls tremble with fear, but Jiang Si remained unmoved.
Madam Feng slammed the table and said, "Fourth girl, you know that if you talk nonsense about anything related to the royal family, you may lose your head!"
Jiang Si was stunned: "I wonder what the granddaughter is talking about?"
"Your maid Ah Man said that you got six plum blossoms?"
"yes."
The wrinkles at the corners of Madam Feng's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
"My granddaughter said yes."
"You, you really got six plum blossoms?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, just ask around and you'll find out. What happened at the flower viewing party can't be kept secret."
Old Madam Feng forgot to blink.
Since the fourth girl said so, then it must be true?
After taking a breath, Madam Feng frowned and asked, "Why didn't you say it just now?"
Jiang Si said confidently: "You didn't ask."
Madam Feng couldn't bear to get angry, so she asked anxiously, "How did you get six sticks?"
"All of them were given by King Yan."
Madam Feng was silent for a moment, then she sighed and said, "Sorry for the trouble!"
