Chapter 276 Birthday Ceremony
At that time, the queen had just come to the Dayi Dynasty, and several things happened one after another, so she was not seen again.
At that time, the Queen knew few people. People like Princess Junyi also looked down on a foreign princess who came from afar. After all, the Queen was only a prince's consort at that time.
"I have seen her. She is truly a very handsome lady. When the late emperor was still alive, he doted on Princess Junyi the most. It is said that the current princess was chosen by Princess Junyi herself. Although her title is only that of an earl, she is very handsome. She was the third place winner in the palace examination that year." Concubine Feng said with a smile.
"Really? Well, you'd have to see it for yourself." Concubine Jin continued with a smile.
Everyone said a few words about Princess Junyi, who sounded like an extraordinary woman.
Of course, she is still slightly inferior to her mother, Princess Qinghua.
After everyone returned to their own residence, Shen Chuliu asked a few questions.
Yao Baolin said, "I have never met this princess, but I was lucky enough to meet Princess Qinghua at that time. Princess Qinghua is really a beautiful woman. She and her husband, Marquis Yunshu Yiyun, are a perfect match. Everyone says that Marquis Xiaoyun in the imperial city is a god-like person. But in fact, everyone who has seen him knows that he is not as good as his father. But it's a pity that this perfect couple has a bad fate. They went to the farm to play peacefully, but a fire broke out. Only Marquis Xiaoyun, who ran away from the farm, survived, and the married Princess Junyi was fine. The second daughter, the third daughter, the eldest son and the second son were all burned to death."
Yao Baolin whispered, "This matter... there were rumors before, saying that it was the work of King Hua."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "I did hear some of it when I was in my boudoir, but I was far away from the palace at that time, so I only heard some superficial words."
Such an accident should not have happened to a favored princess, it could only have been man-made.
"Princess Qinghua is very good to our emperor?" Shen Chuliu asked again.
"Yes, it is said that the emperor loves her the most. This Princess Junyi is of the same age as our emperor. If it were not for the proposal of marriage by the Chao Kingdom, it is said that she would have been intended to be the prince's consort. This is true, but it has been more than ten years, and not much is known about it anymore." Yao Baolin said with a smile.
She just knew more because she entered the mansion early.
Shen Chuliu nodded, thinking: Is this another version of Liu Che and Guantao?
However, it is a pity that the princess died early.
She went there in such a strange way. Could it be that she was plotted against by King Hua because she supported the emperor? If so, it was too cruel.
No wonder someone like Qi Yixiu only says good things when talking about Princess Qinghua.
Not long after, Shen Chuliu met Princess Junyi in the Empress Dowager's palace.
Accompanying him was Lord Xiaoyun's wife, Li. After greeting each other, Shen Chuliu looked at her carefully.
Princess Junyi looks to be in her twenties, but she is well maintained.
Her appearance is indeed outstanding, but not that good. She probably can't compare to her mother.
But his demeanor is indeed good, and you wouldn't tell that he is someone who has been staying in the local area for ten years.
"When I left, the emperor had no children yet, but now he has many. It's cold today, and it's not easy for me to see them. When spring comes, I will definitely see them one by one." Princess Junyi said with a smile.
"Since you will not leave in the future, you can look around freely. If you miss me and the emperor, just come in and take a look. I have been thinking about you all these years." Empress Dowager Li clapped her hands.
"I'm sorry to make my aunt worry. We are always thinking about the palace when we receive rewards every year." Princess Junyi wiped her tears.
The queen said at the right time: "Don't be sad, Princess, I'm back now."
"The Queen is right." Princess Junyi wiped her tears and asked, "Why can't I see Concubine Feng?"
"Are you coming soon? I still remember you guys back then. You are really good." Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile.
"My aunt is right. We were all still young at that time, so we had more time to play together. I have been away for ten years. After entering the palace, I don’t recognize anyone except the two elders. At least there is an acquaintance, so I don’t feel so unfamiliar." Princess Junyi said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu laughed in his heart, OK, this guy is standing over there.
Soon, Concubine Feng arrived, followed by the Emperor.
Everyone greeted each other again.
It can be seen that Qi Yixiu is somewhat close to this cousin and has greeted her politely.
"Since you are back, I will grant you a mansion. The Jiang family's ancestral home is not in the imperial city, and now he has been transferred back. Naturally, he should have a mansion. It is not right to always live in the marquis' mansion."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Just give him what he deserves and don't give him more. My brothers and sisters are all good-tempered, so it's okay for them to stay for a few months." Princess Junyi said with a smile.
Mrs. Xiaoyunhou hurriedly said yes.
After everyone had some fun chatting, Qi Yixiu invited Princess Junyi and her two children to have dinner with him.
She has four children, but today she only brought her eldest son and daughter.
During the meal, only the Queen, Concubine Feng, and Concubine Kang stayed to keep them company; everyone else went back.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu changed into a coat and smiled: "I thought this was Guantao's daughter. After a long while, I found out that this is Guantao himself."
Zi Rui didn't understand for a moment: "Master?"
"Well, look, the princess's eldest daughter is eight years old this year." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
What did Princess Junyi mean by pushing that girl towards Concubine Feng?
After this year, Concubine Feng's second prince will be eight years old.
Eight years old is young, but the princes start choosing their concubines very early.
"Ah? So scheming?" Zi Rui was shocked.
"What do you think? But I'm not in a hurry. My son is less than one year old. I'll talk about it if they can still be prosperous in ten years. Now it seems that Princess Qinghua and her family probably have some favors to the emperor. But favors are something that can never be repaid. Sometimes, they can't be repaid at all."
"But Princess Junyi is also favored. What if she really becomes accomplices with Concubine Feng..." Zizhu frowned.
"It's okay. What do I have to be afraid of? I have the Queen to look after me." Shen Chuliu laughed as she spoke: "The Queen is the most miserable. Even though she is of noble birth, it's a pity that her family is too far away."
Fortunately, the Queen had a strong temper. If she was an inexperienced woman, she had no princes and married far away, wouldn't she be tortured to death by the two people of the Feng family? Fortunately, Queen Mother Feng was strong. But Concubine Feng Shu was a bad teammate.
However, Shen Chuliu didn’t know that Empress Dowager Feng’s new teammate Han Qiuqiu had gone offline permanently less than a year after coming online.
But I'm not quite sure whether this Princess Junyi is a new teammate.
Both the Shen family and the Pei family have received invitations, and they will go to the palace to celebrate the Sixth Prince's birthday.
It was also because of their powerful families that they were qualified to enter the palace. Other concubines were not allowed to invite so many people in.
Preparations were made inside the palace and outside the palace.
The old lady Zheng of the Pei family had already started planning a birthday gift for the Sixth Prince.
