Chapter 101

When they returned to gongmingxuan, ye Tangcai and Qiuju were already sweating all over. Huiran hurriedly waited on them to take a bath and change clothes.

When ye Tangcai changed into a light summer dress, huiran had brought a plate of iced watermelon to the round table in the small hall.

"Is your wife better?" Huiran said.

"Well, it looks energetic." Autumn orange said while biting watermelon.

"In July, we'll take our mother to Chuang Tzu and live there for a while." Ye Tangcai said.

Autumn orange clapped his hands: "that's a good idea. Relax."

Ye Tangcai thought of more than just distraction. At once, Xu Rui is about to go to Qiuwei. Her former mother is so angry that she can enter as long as Xu Rui passes the exam. In this life, my mother still lives well. I'm afraid Ye Chengde can't bear it!

Instead of letting mammy Tsai and others guard day and night, let them not even have a chance to start.

Thinking of this, ye Tang took a bite and bit the watermelon to pieces.

"Girl, what shall we wear when we go to the prince's house tomorrow?" Qiuju never forgets to go to the prince's house.

Ye Tang was stunned: "just ordinary ones. Didn't you make a set of ice blue white flower jacket and skirt last year? That's it. "

Ye Tangcai likes to wear red clothes, but in summer, she always feels hot, and ice blue looks cool.

"The girls haven't made clothes this year. Later, they can make two more bodies and make train or skirt." Autumn orange said“ The cabinet is almost full of jackets and skirts. "

"I like jackets and skirts." Ye Tangcai put down the chewed watermelon peel“ Ru skirt is OK, don't bend train. "

Autumn orange also finished eating, washed his hands, went to the wardrobe to turn over his clothes, and then went to the makeup table to prepare jewelry.

The next morning, ye Tangcai tidied up, got on the carriage at home and went out.

After walking for about three quarters of an hour, I finally came to Jinglong street where the prince's house is located.

The construction site of the prince's residence is close to the Imperial Palace, occupying the whole Jinglong street. The magnificent residence is surrounded by high walls. Across the snow-white walls, I can see a continuous stretch of towering pavilions and prosperous peaks.

The carriage passed through the gate, turned right into an alley, and finally stopped at the east gate of the prince's house.

Ye Tangcai got off the car and saw two guards guarding the door. Ye Tangcai handed over a prayer post. One of the guards looked and let it go.

Ye Tangcai got on the carriage again. When he got off at the Chuihua gate, he saw the beautiful servant girl in gold and silver come forward: "grandma Chu is coming. Please come here."

"Thank you, sister." Ye Tangcai said with a smile.

The servant girl smiled and said, "my maidservant's name is Qin se, and my third grandmother can call my maidservant Qin se."

Ye Tangcai followed the harp and Harp and crossed the flower gate.

Follow the bluestone road. I saw five steps, one floor, ten steps and one Pavilion around. The pavilions were staggered, the corridor waist was whirling, and the vegetation was lush. In the distance, the high cloud building was towering and magnificent.

Ye Tangcai followed Qin and Se into the instrument door, turned right, and walked for about half an injection time before he came to a magnificent courtyard. Looking up, he saw the words "Zhenghua courtyard" written on the gilded flat forehead.

Ye Tangcai followed her into the courtyard. A servant girl stood on the porch of the main house and reported to her: "madam, grandma Chu is coming."

Ye Tangcai followed Qin and se to the corridor. Qin and Se turned back and looked at huiran and Qiuju and said, "you two are waiting."

Huiran and Qiuju were stunned, so they answered yes and didn't dare to move.

"Third grandma, please." Qin se said.

Ye Tangcai followed her into the room. There was no obvious second division in the room. Green curtains and carved partition fans were everywhere. Looking to the right, he saw a sandalwood ten thousand words long couch around three sides. A dignified woman of twenty-seven or eight was sitting on it. It was the crown princess.

The princess's hair style and makeup were the same as last time, except for a golden and red Tuzi.

"See your mother." Ye Tangcai hurried forward to salute.

The crown princess looked at the people below and bowed her head, revealing a section of snow-white slender neck. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "get up!"

"Thank you." Ye Tangcai stands up.

The crown princess looked at her carefully. She was wearing an ice blue jacket and skirt, a simple cloud bun on her head, and a red gold peach blossom tassel hairpin pinned on it, which reflected her as beautiful as peaches and plums.

"I really like the dried flowers last time. Please help me this time." The princess smiled.

"I will do my best."

"Third grandma, this way, please." Qin se said.

Ye Tangcai left with Qin Se and went out of the house. Originally, Qiuju and huiran, who were waiting there, didn't know where to go.

Without thinking carefully, ye Tangcai had to follow Qin and se. The main room went to the left, which was a small Baoxia. There was a long table full of peony flowers, with a thick Futon on both sides of the long table.

"Third grandma, please give me your advice." Qin se smiled and sat down in one of them.

Ye Tangcai sat opposite her: "it's nothing complicated. Now it's hot and there's no moisture on it. Just take a cloth and clean the dust on it."

Qin se nodded with a smile and asked the little servant girl to bring cotton cloth. They began to work.

There were a lot of petals in front of the table. The zither and the zither didn't ask for help. They rubbed them carefully. Ye Tangcai thought, I don't know if I can finish it until the sun goes down.

Ye Tangcai didn't ask much, but said, "by the way, just went out, my two girls don't know where they are?"

"I've been asked to sit outside." Qin se said with a smile, "don't worry, third grandma. Can we be greedy for your servant girl?"

Ye Tangcai smiled and said nothing.

After wiping for an hour or so, suddenly a famous servant girl in blue came in and said respectfully, "sister Qinse, my mother said, make some roses!"

"OK." Qin se nodded and said to ye Tangcai, "third grandma, my mother asked me to make some roses. I don't know if there is any stress in picking flowers. Let's pick them together."

"No attention, just pick it as usual." Ye Tangcai said and stood up.

They went out of the Baoxia. The servant girl in green came back early and handed ye Tangcai and Qin se a flower basket. Another three servant girls in green collapsed and waited for the basket.

"Let's go!" Qin se said.

Ye Tangcai followed Qin and SE's footsteps and a group of six people went towards the garden.

Along the way, I saw mountains and water, pavilions and pavilions, unspeakably exquisite and elegant. A few people walked through a winding path, which was a rose garden. Crimson and pink roses are in full bloom, trapped in the spikes of green leaves, with a pungent beauty.

Qin se turned back and smiled at Ye Tang: "third grandma, let's pick flowers."

"OK." Ye Tangcai nodded with a smile and took out a small scissors from the flower basket“ Did you say which color you want? "

"Whatever."

The garden was so big that people scattered and picked it slowly.

Roses have many thorns. Be careful when picking flowers, otherwise it is easy to stab.

The sun was shining on her head, and ye Tangcai was concentrating on picking flowers. I don't know how long later, she was sunburned, her face was red, her hair was wet, and the flower basket was almost full.

"It's a hot day. I'd better go back!" At this time, a voice sounded not far away.

Ye Tangcai was shocked when he listened. His hand holding the rose branch was suddenly pierced, and bean sized blood beads came out.

Ye Tangcai bit her lip in pain, but she couldn't care so much, because what she heard was a man's voice. This is the prince's back garden. Ordinary men can't go in and out freely.

Wait, is that a eunuch? The prince often goes in and out of the palace, and he will inherit Datong in the future, so he also uses eunuchs in his house. The voice just now was a little sissy.

"Let's go!" A laugh rang out.

Ye Tangcai's small face was slightly heavy. If the first voice was like a eunuch, the laughter was not.

She looked around, but found that the servant girl who had just picked flowers with her had long disappeared. Ye Tangcai clenched his fist tightly and saw two figures coming slowly across the clumps of roses. Then stop there.

Ye Tangcai got up slightly and dared not move.

"In a few days, it will be July. In early August, the candidate for the side imperial concubine will be determined." The eunuch said.

"This palace... Don't want that Manman." The prince's voice is gentle and elegant, with a sense of dignity.

Ye Tangcai held his breath and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Zhang Manman?

"According to the meaning of the empress, this Zhangjia is not Xun GUI, born in a pure and upright family, and his father is the Secretary of Dali temple. He is the most suitable of the three to be elected. Besides, your highness and your mother should have given Lord Zhang a long time ago, shouldn't they? " Said the eunuch.

The jade fan in the prince's hand tapped the tiger's mouth: "but this Manman... Is too ugly!"

When the Begonia plucked from the corner of her mouth across two clusters of roses, there was a sudden feeling of thunder. Zhang Manman lost the election in his previous life because others didn't look at Zhang Manman. Ye Tangcai thought that the Queen disliked that Zhang Jia was not good enough, or that etiquette was not enough.

No, the reason is so simple and rude. It's too ugly!

In fact, Zhang Manman is not ugly. He can only be ordinary!

Zhang Boyuan looks like his mother, so he looks very handsome, but Zhang Manman follows his father, which is really general. A slightly wide round face with ordinary facial features can be medium-sized if you dress up carefully.

"I haven't seen her before... I bumped into her in the Queen Mother's palace... She looks really..." the prince's voice was very resistant.

"Your Highness told your mother to make her the master." Said the eunuch with a smile.

"Alas!" The prince sighed.

"But your highness promised to marry, and now he doesn't marry. How can you tell Lord Zhang?"

"There is no shortage of a little Dali Temple secretary in this palace." The prince smiled faintly and didn't care“ If it is the fourth emperor's younger brother, I'm afraid I'll rush to win over, but this palace really doesn't need it. "

Outside of him, there were his mother family and princess zefei's family guarding the fort of Pingfan in Daqi. Inside, there was the help of the wife family of the court's rib ministers. There was no shortage of people.

"But it's not easy to offend!" Said the eunuch carefully.

The jade fan tapped the tiger's mouth. No one thought his position was too stable. Naturally, the prince would not be so frivolous.

He thought for a moment and smiled: "then let the empress find an excuse to plug it. However, if the mother finds a reason, they will also know that it is just Tang Sai's word, so let the emperor's grandmother help. Someone quietly told grandma Huang something bad about Zhang Jia or Zhang Manman. When she knew it, she would deny the marriage. If the emperor's grandmother comes forward, it won't blame the palace and the empress. "

The eunuch smiled, "Your Highness is still wise."

Ye Tangcai's eyes flashed slightly. The words of tangsai in her previous life fell on her. In this life

"The palace wants to marry Bai Ruyan." The prince's voice came again and read the three words Bai Ruyan with a satisfied taste.

"The six girls of the white family." The eunuch sighed and smiled, "she is really a beauty."

"Yes."

"It's a pity... No one in the Bai family has been an official for two generations. It's really declining."

"How about the decline? This palace doesn't lack this help." The prince thought and said, "but Bai Ruyan... Is too dazzling."

Ye Tang behind him took a smoke from the corner of his mouth and understood it.

The prince is known as a virtuous person. Everyone praises him for his literary skills and strategy. He has both virtue and talent. Unlike the king of Liang, he is not as romantic and uninhibited as the king of Liang. Even the prince's concubine he married is also a talented woman who gives gifts to everyone. The Ji concubines in the backyard are all virtuous and only look at their looks.

So the women in the prince's residence look... Well, it's hard to say!

In fact, the prince can accept marrying another Zhang Manman, but he met Bai Ruyan again. He really couldn't put it down. After thinking, he still wanted a beauty.

"Yes, after leaving a Zhang Manman, there are two to choose. In fact, Miss Wu and miss Bao look good." Said the eunuch.

But there is no such outstanding appearance as Bai Ruyan.

The prince cherishes feathers. He doesn't want to bear the reputation of being lecherous and judging people by their appearance, but he can't choose none of the three candidates. Instead, he chose Bai Ruyan, who is not among the candidates. In this way, everyone knows that he is afraid to say that he likes people because of Bai Ruyan's beauty. He doesn't want to leave a stain on his body.

"Your Highness, I have a plan." The eunuch whispered, "first retire Zhang Manman according to your Highness's method, wait until the candidate is determined at the end of this month, and then..."

The prince listened and smiled, "yes, that's it!"

"The sun is hot, your highness, you'd better go back!" Said the eunuch.

"Go."

They said and went out of the rose garden. Ye Tangcai was very relieved. After waiting for a while, he hurried out of the rose garden.

"Third grandma." Qin se was standing under a banyan tree not far away and saw her frowning.

Ye Tangcai scolded the harp and Harp 10000 times in his heart, and still smiled on his face: "where have you all gone? My basket is almost full, but you have disappeared. "

Qin SE's eyes twinkled slightly and said with a smile, "we've had enough! Just now, the slave and maid called in the garden and said that we had enough. Let's go back. At that time, a girl pestered her maid to talk. She didn't care to come over for a while. When she came to Zhenghua garden, she found that her third grandmother was not there, so she turned back to look for her. "

Ye Tangcai only smiled: "I see. I was too focused on picking flowers. I didn't hear it."

"Well, third grandma, come back with me." Qin se said.

They went back. A servant girl in blue had left quickly and returned to Zhenghua garden first.

The princess sat on the couch with a heavy face, and an old woman sat on the embroidered pier below.

The servant girl in green hurried over: "madam."

"Well, did the prince see her?" The princess said coldly.

"Look at the situation, it doesn't seem to be." Said the servant girl in green.

The Crown Princess pursed her lips, feeling angry and relieved for a moment.

"Empress, is that the third grandmother Chu?" The old lady frowned.

"Yes." The crown princess smiled coldly, "Princess Feng's inferior goods are becoming more and more arrogant, and the new princess is about to get started. The crown prince... Seems to want to marry Bai Ruyan. If she did enter the door, would the prince still come? Since the barrel left... "

His eyes were red. She gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor for the crown prince, but unfortunately died four years ago. She had only a little princess under her knee, and there was a boy in the concubine. Princess Feng's family is becoming more and more powerful. She has to have a son as soon as possible, otherwise she will be replaced one day.

But the prince gave her a faint and didn't come to her house with Ben.

She also wanted to promote beautiful servant girls, but she couldn't find a suitable one.

Until that day, I saw ye Tangcai in Princess Xinyang's house. It's really... No, it's too wasteful!

Moreover, ye Tangcai was born like that. Her husband's family was so humble that she was unwilling to marry a common son. Naturally, she adored glory and wealth more and more. Can she not be moved by the power of the crown prince here?

She's still a woman. She doesn't have to be responsible after being played! I won't fight for fame. It's killing two birds with one stone! When ye Tangcai had an affair with the crown prince, she would praise her a lot, let her have face in the capital, and give her some money. She still didn't adhere to her? She always asks Ye Tang to pick it. Can the prince not come to her palace?

Thinking of this, the crown princess still had some hatred in her eyes, "it's no use to hate the Chu family. In this way, she let out her military power. If the Chu family is not useful, how can the Feng family stand out! There is no scenery of Princess Feng. "

It is the Chu family that guards the gate to the city in front of the town. When the Chu family falls, it is the Feng family!

"The empress did a good job. That's why she was asked to meet the prince in the garden?" The mammy said, "you should let her stay with your mother and invite the prince to come and hang him like this. He still needs face, but he won't ask his mother so quickly. Wouldn't it be better for him to ask her? "

The crown princess was surprised: "mammy is right! Look, Mammy just left for half a day, and I made a mistake. It's good that she hasn't met yet. "

Just as he was saying this, he saw that ye Tangcai had gone straight into the courtyard with Qin and Se, and the Crown Princess immediately laughed.
