The Palace of the Three Princes.
The autumn is high and the air is fresh, the sun is just right, suitable for climbing high, and also suitable for viewing chrysanthemums.
After Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin got married, he had never traveled far alone. This was the first time he received an invitation to go out.
Today's Li Mingjin is especially worried, for fear that Luo Shuyu will be bullied by the Crown Princess and those who don't have long eyes. From waking up to the morning, he looks completely absent-minded, and Emperor Tiansheng who is sitting above him glances at him several times.
After going down to court, he hurried to the house, hoping that Luo Shuyu hadn't gone out yet, and he could look at his daughter-in-law more today.
Back at the mansion, Li Mingjin found that Luo Shuyu had not yet gone out and was changing clothes in the bedroom.
Li Mingjin hugged him from behind: "I'll pick it out for you."
Luo Shuyu was taken aback by his sudden action, the maid next to her covered her mouth and smiled, Luo Shuyu patted Li Mingjin behind him.
Li Mingjin drove them out, hugged Luo Shuyu and took a few mouthfuls, until Luo Shuyu was panting slightly before letting go of him.
For the occasion, Li Mingjin chose a chrysanthemum pattern hosta for Luo Shuyu, engraved with a chrysanthemum pattern jade pendant.
Luo Shuyu asked him, "His Royal Highness, won't I look bad with so many chrysanthemum patterns all over my body?"
He remembered that Shen Mingyun's system had provided him with a fashion matching magazine, and it was written in the book that if there were more than three types of clothing and accessories, one of them should be concise and not overly complicated.
Li Mingjin picked up a blue satin sachet from the basket: "Not much, add another sachet with a chrysanthemum pattern."
Luo Shuyu looked at Li Mingjin clumsily tying a sachet to him, and smiled: "Why are all chrysanthemums?"
Li Mingjin half-squatted and said, "Nothing." If you don't wear chrysanthemum patterns at the chrysanthemum banquet, his daughter-in-law should be the most dazzling.
Luo Shuyu straightened Li Mingjin's hair crown, and once again pierced Li Mingjin's careful thinking: "Didn't you order someone to decide a set of clothes for me to go to the chrysanthemum banquet in two days? Today's clothes are not new? Embroidered chrysanthemum pattern?"
A series of questions hit Li Mingjin: "My people should be the best-looking ones at the banquet."
Luo Shuyu laughed out loud: "You think too much." He turned his head and asked, what time is it, it's time to leave.
The distance is a bit long, and Luo Shuyu had to go half an hour earlier.
Li Mingjin and him have hardly been separated since they got married. Today, they have to be separated for a whole day. Suddenly, they want to send Luo Shuyu out, and I feel a little bit reluctant in my heart. It seems that I understand why Luo Shuyu always stands there for a long time when he sends him out before going back. , I told him to stand for too long several times, but he didn't listen. Now that it was his turn, he seemed to be able to understand what he was doing, because it was reluctance to part, extremely reluctant.
Li Mingjin not only personally sent Luo Shuyu to the carriage, but also sent him more people, for fear that he would be bullied.
It was rare for Li Mingjin to say two more words: "I'll be back when it's time. It gets dark quickly in autumn, and it's hard to walk when it's late."
Luo Shuyu hooked the car curtain and nodded: "I know, it won't be too late, don't send me off, the guards are all here, I'll be fine." He thought of something and got out of the car, "Your Highness, you Come over some."
Li Mingjin leaned forward, only to see Luo Shuyu conjuring a light blue sachet out of nowhere, and hanging his hand on Li Mingjin's waist very dexterously. If there is a difference, the pattern on the top is rather unusual.
He guessed that Luo Shuyu embroidered it by himself, and shook Luo Shuyu's hand: "You embroidered well, little daisy."
Luo Shuyu twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at him fixedly: "I embroidered bamboo leaves."
Li Mingjin: "...Well, it looks good." It turns out that his wife's embroidery skills are so unusual.
Luo Shuyu didn't force him to open his eyes and talk nonsense. Whoever has no shortcomings, he just doesn't know how to do it. If it wasn't for Li Mingjin, he would never embroider this in his life.
"I'm leaving." Luo Shuyu couldn't continue to consume Li Mingjin any longer, otherwise it would really be dark later.
"Go, be careful on the road." Li Mingjin nodded, and when Luo Shuyu's carriage disappeared around the corner, he was still standing at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, with the intention of looking after the three stone husbands.
For the first time, Luo Shuyu was watched away by Li Mingjin. Everything he saw along the way felt beautiful, and even the little wild flowers on the roadside looked very happy.
The crown princess' chrysanthemum banquet was not held in the East Palace, but chose a courtyard under the prince's name.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he found that there were already rows of carriages parked outside. Luo Shuyu was riding in a carriage marked by the Third Prince's Mansion. As soon as he appeared, the **** shouted, "The Third Prince and Concubine are here!"
They were led into the palace.
Before the fall, the Crown Princess ordered no less than 200 kinds of chrysanthemums to be planted here. Luo Shuyu and others should be able to see 220 kinds of chrysanthemums here today.
From the moment you enter the door, you can see that the yard is full of chrysanthemums of different varieties. Whether you are interested in chrysanthemums or not, you can now be attracted by this magnificent scenery and stop for these different delicate flowers.
In addition to appreciating chrysanthemums, today’s diet is also related to chrysanthemums, including chrysanthemum tea, chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum syrup, and chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, etc. A variety of dishes with chrysanthemum as an accessory.
Although he has never participated in this chrysanthemum viewing banquet in his previous life, he has also participated in various banquets held by others on weekdays. The process of the banquet is almost the same, but this time the purpose is relatively unusual, because the crown princess wants to replace the prince. Choose Liang Di.
I didn't say it on the face, but all those who were willing to send their son and daughter in after receiving the wind came. Those who didn't want to come would not go out with their unmarried children, but would only bring their concubines or relatives. In fact, there are only two kinds of people she wants, one is from a decent background, and the other is someone who looks to be able to live.
Luo Shuyu doesn't know how to distinguish whether it can be born or not. Although he has given birth, he is a son, and he is different from a woman, and he doesn't know much about it. It is estimated that a woman will be chosen this time. The son's fertility rate is relatively low. There are also men in Daxia who have married sons. They have never had children in their lives, but they are all special circumstances. Basically, it is not a problem to have one or two.
Luo Shuyu was not very interested in the princess's choice of girls who could or could not have children. He was attracted by the chrysanthemum gardens after he entered the courtyard.
After watching it for a while, he said to Qingwang, "If only His Highness could do it, too." Only when two people who agree with each other can appreciate the scenery together, the impression can be deepened.
Qingwang said optimistically: "Master will be able to enjoy chrysanthemums with His Royal Highness in the future, but you have to live a lifetime."
Luo Shuyu strengthened his determination, and for this vision, he has to do well: "Yeah, we will definitely live a lifetime."
Everything will go in the right direction.
This is Luo Shuyu's first time to go out as the third prince's concubine. Many people have strong curiosity about him. Who doesn't know what the third prince's reputation is? Before they got married, many people privately bet on the direct descendant of Luofu. How long can the young master stay in the Third Prince's Mansion, will he die before he even arrives at Guining Day when he enters the mansion?
But today they saw it and found that all their guesses were wrong!
This Luo Shuyu doesn't look like he's going to be beaten out of bed. Today, he is wearing the most popular new style in the capital, snow-white satin clothes, with silver hollow chrysanthemum trims on the inside of the robe, which complements the suet jade hairpin on his head. , with excellent appearance.
Two women who admired chrysanthemum spoke in a low voice.
"I went to Lvyingzhuang the day before yesterday, and when I saw this dress, I wanted to prepare a set for my family Ling'er. Who knew that the shopkeeper told me that there was only one in the whole capital, and it was made by the most powerful tailor in Lvyingzhuang. Do the same for the second one! I was still thinking about who is so domineering and didn't let anyone do the same, I never thought that it was ordered by the Palace of the Third Prince."
"Whether he ordered it himself or the third prince ordered it, can you find out?"
"The third prince personally ordered it, and someone saw it."
"That rumor is not so credible, but can these three princes and concubines be friends?"
"Today is the Crown Princess's banquet, do you want to make friends or not?"
Surrounded by figures in twos and threes, Luo Shuyu was not completely admiring the chrysanthemum, but first looked around to see if there were three figures of Luo Fu.
Soon he was led by the **** to the banquet place, and all who came were women and sons younger than Luo Shuyu.
At this time, the position with the largest number of people was next to the eldest princess, and she had a great conversation with a group of ladies.
On weekdays, these noble ladies often attend various banquets, and wherever there is a banquet, they will be there.
Luo Shuyu knew a few of them anyway, but that was in his previous life. In this life, he should not have known them yet.
Before entering the Third Prince's Mansion, he had only one reputation, and the Liu family seldom took him to banquets.
Of course, there is no need for him to get to know these people now, as long as one person knows that he is the third prince concubine, everyone will know.
As soon as he came, everyone stood up and saluted him, Luo Shuyu replied generously: "All get up, no need to be too polite."
In the eyes of many unmarried sons, Luo Shuyu's current status is the goal of their efforts. He successfully married the third prince, which also raised the status of the sons in the capital. The one in the palace is not wrong, but when it comes to identity, it is still The third prince and concubine are more orthodox. If it is the third prince's turn to sit on the estate one day, then the third prince and concubine will directly be the latter. How can the concubine's position be compared with the latter.
Luo Shuyu didn't care how the young men and women around them spread their thoughts.
He first greeted the first prince concubine according to the etiquette. He did not mean to flatter the first prince concubine, but the first prince concubine had a surprisingly good attitude towards him. When he saw him, he immediately smiled and chatted with the ladies just now. Like two people.
"Shu Yu, come and sit here." This was the first time they spoke privately.
They were not familiar with them in their previous life, and they didn't say much back to the public, and they were all polite and polite.
But the current eldest princess is not the same as in her previous life, she is kind and polite to Luo Shuyu.
Whether people are in good spirits at a happy event or if they have other plans, it has to be unknown.
Luo Shuyu has no reason to reject the first prince's kindness for the time being. If he wants to learn some news from these wives in the future, he has to befriend her.
Compared with the crown prince, the eldest prince concubine is actually more able to win over people's hearts. Moreover, she married the eldest prince as the daughter of an official family. Unlike the crown prince, she followed her parents into the palace when she was a child, and she met the queen mother and the queen. He also received the teachings of the harem. His eyes were always above the top, and when he was a daughter, he was in a state of invincibility, not to mention being a princess.
Luo Shuyu: "The First Sister-in-law."
First Prince Concubine: "You and I don't have a chance to talk. Next time I have a banquet, you will be the first to arrive."
Luo Shuyu: "Okay, if the First Sister-in-law doesn't mind, I'll take my family and bring me to your place for breakfast, whether it's early enough."
First Prince Concubine: "Hahaha, you are really, Cheng, come to my house for breakfast, and make sure you and the third brother are satisfied."
Luo Shuyu: "Then first, thank the Queen's Sister-in-law."
The two concubines were talking, and the other ladies naturally stepped aside, pretending to enjoy the scenery, but secretly looking at his relationship with the first prince and concubine Bi Ruoyao.
Bi Ruoyao: "Look at you polite, I look at your Luofu as if someone is coming. It was brought by your grandmother, and they are resting in the back room."
Luo Shuyu: "I said I didn't see them when I came here."
Bi Ruoyao: "You don't have to go now, they will come to see you."
Who's back house has not had any intrigue yet. Luo Shuyu was pointed to the third prince as the son-in-law. He wanted to know how disregarded the Luo family was, and others were envious, but Bi Ruoyao was not stupid, just guessing Luo Shuyu and Luo The old lady must have a bad relationship with them.
In response to Bi Ruoyao's blunt remarks, Luo Shuyu just smiled: "Even so, I still have to see my grandmother." Fame is still needed.
Bi Ruoyao said "kindly": "Then you have a cup of tea before you go, the Crown Princess will come over later."
Luo Shuyu thought about what she was thinking: "Alright."
If Bi Ruoyao hadn't mentioned the old lady of Luo's family, he could have pretended not to know that someone from Luo's house was coming, and now he had to go see him.
No matter how enthusiastic Bi Ruoyao is, treating him like a real sister is a lie. Luo Shuyu will not believe that she is sincere relatives to him.
To win over Li Mingjin? The eldest prince can't even pull it, and he can't rely on him. That's all he wants to do to block the crown princess. If the eldest prince can't get Li Mingjin's help, don't even think about the prince.
They are all women with complicated minds, and they are more calculated than the ministers in the court.
Luo Shuyu and Bi Ruoyao sat for a while. The princess didn't come, but Mrs. Luo came out first.
When they saw Luo Shuyu, they came directly to salute. Luo Shuyu dodged and stood up to help the old lady. Although he was dragged by the first prince and didn't go in to see the old lady, he was well behaved in front of people and helped the old lady to sit down. It is in the eyes.
Luo Shuyu heard Luo Shuyu muttering in a low voice, "Fake."
Luo Shuyu looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and asked Luo Shuyu in a low voice, "Do you want me to show you someone else?"
When Luo Shuyue heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately pulled Luo Shuyu: "Why did you talk to the third prince concubine, and you didn't kneel down to the third prince concubine!"
Saying that, Luo Shuyue kicked Luo Shuyu's back knee directly, Luo Shuyu really rushed forward, but Luo Shuyu had already guarded Luo Shuyue and directly half-squatted to support him, not letting him really kneel, he turned up the volume: "Five Brother, what's wrong with you?" He immediately said to the servant next to him, "How do you serve Fifth Young Master, you don't even know when you are sick." He touched Luo Shuyu's forehead, "It's getting hot, so why don't you hurry to find someone? Call the doctor over here. Qingwang, help Fifth Young Master to rest inside for a while, don't let him come out again."
Qingwang was stunned for a moment, but after hearing what his son was saying, he and his mama immediately dragged Luo Shuyu in. Luo Shuyu was dazed the whole time, and his mama pressed his neck. Did not let him turn back.
As for the frightened Luo Shuyue, her legs trembled and she stood back to the old lady. The old lady almost wanted to kill her with the crutches in her hand.
I'm so petty, I can't get on the stage!
A "family affair" that would have embarrassed Luo Shuyu was quickly resolved by him, and the vicious-eyed Mrs. Houzhai was an eye-opener, and had a very good impression of Luo Shuyu. .
The old lady could only show her face: "Thanks to the third prince, it may be that Shu Yu's child did not pay attention to keeping warm and contracted the cold, so he will be sent back to the house to recuperate later."
Luo Shuyu nodded: "It's still the old lady who is thoughtful. It's better to go back to the house and rest. I don't care, don't bump into the nobles."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
They just finished watching the excitement here, and everyone was waiting for the princess to show up. However, at this time, the **** whom the princess trusted most came over.
The **** saluted first, and then said, "Three Princes and Concubine, do you recognize Shen Mingyun?"
Luo Shuyu was stunned, thinking that the one who should come is still here: "I know, if I came with my grandmother today, it should be my distant cousin."
Eunuch: "Just now, this young master Shen had a dispute with the Crown Princess. He mentioned you, Crown Princess, please come and take a look."
Luo Shuyu held back his smile and pretended to be surprised: "...How could he conflict with the Crown Princess?"
The distinguished guests in the government thought to themselves: Today is really a good day to eat melons.
After watching Luo Shuyu leave the Prince's Mansion, Li Mingjin thought that it would be boring to be alone in the mansion, so he dragged his feet that had not completely subsided to the Punishment Department to find Shilang Tang, forcibly followed him to study, and read the archives over the years.
During lunch, Li Mingjin went to the public dining hall with the officials of the Ministry of Punishment.
Tang Shilang sat opposite him and asked, "Your Highness is still used to the food here." I thought I was waiting for you to throw away the steamed buns and pickles, and don't come back tomorrow to break our hearts.
Li Mingjin has never been very picky: "It's good, the steamed buns are big enough."
Tang Shilang: "..."
After the meal, the two walked back, Li Mingjin unconsciously touched the sachet on his waist, "By the way, Lao Tang, your daughter-in-law has given you a sachet."
Tang Shilang stroked his beard: "No."
Li Mingjin shook the satin sachet on his waist in front of him: "You don't have it, I have it."
Tang Shilang: "..." You are showing off!
The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, you offended me last night.
Luo Shuyu: ?
Third Prince: Don't let me tweet there.
Luo Shuyu: ...Go away.
