245 Letter (1)

In the Imperial Palace of the capital.

The Crown Prince invited the brothers and sisters of the Tian family to the East Palace. As his biological sister, Lin ‘an arrived early and sat on the chair, swinging her feet under her skirt.

She was not wearing a red dress today. Instead, she was wearing a gorgeous purple dress with golden edges. She was wearing a Ruby Coral crown with the coral as the skeleton. Two lifelike golden phoenixes surrounded the Ruby in the middle, and six tassels with pearls hung down.

In addition, there were also gold buyao, Jade hairpin, and other jewelry. She was dressed in a gorgeous and exquisite way.

Purple was a common material used by the concubines in the palace, to set off the elegance and nobility of a mature woman. It was not suitable for young girls, but the temperament of Lin ‘an was too delicate, giving people the feeling of a doll dressed up.

Coupled with a round face and charming peach blossom eyes, she was both charming and flirtatious, yet proud and pure. There were many kinds of temperaments mixed together, but it was extremely easy to control.

There was still an hour before lunch, and the princes and princesses came to the eastern Palace one after another. Everyone had long been used to the gorgeous and exquisite beauty of Lin ‘an.

Among the four princesses, she was probably the only one who was suitable for this dress. If it were any other Princess, they would probably not be able to suppress their overly gorgeous dress.

Huaiqing’s looks were enough, but her temperament was not.

“Huaiqing hasn’t arrived yet?” Lin ‘an’s quick-witted eyes turned and looked outside the door.

“Send a message that she will come later.” The Crown Prince said with a smile. Then, he coughed and said,

“Today is the day of sale of the secretly made chicken essence by the Directorate of Celestials. Some were also sent to the palace. This is why bengong invited my younger brothers and sisters over to have a taste.”

Actually, a few days ago, the Directorate of Celestials had already “offered” a batch of chicken essence and sent it to the Imperial Kitchen. The princes and princesses had all enjoyed this insatiable seasoning.

Speaking of this hot topic, the princes and princesses began to chat with great interest.

“Speaking of this chicken essence, the taste is indeed irresistible, but it’s easy to get thirsty,”

yesterday, father said that this thing can’t be eaten too much. A light diet is the way to maintain health.

As he said this, the princes pouted their lips and disapproved of Emperor Yuan jing’s idea of maintaining his health. Only middle-aged people who had no choice would think of soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup. Why did young people need to maintain their health?

Lin ‘an looked left and right, his round and white jaw raised,”Do you guys know who invented the chicken spirit?”

At this time, it had become embarrassing and sulky.

The princes and princesses really didn’t know about this. There were only three people in the palace who knew about this. The crown prince’s framing and huaiqing. If the three of them didn’t say anything, no one would know.

Under the questioning of his brothers and sisters, framed chin rose even higher and said sweetly, “”It’s Xu Qi ‘an, my subordinate.”

She emphasized the second half of the sentence.

“Xu Qian?” The fourth prince frowned. isn’t that huaiqing’s man? ”

The fourth prince was huaiqing’s blood brother.

“He’s mine now. He swore his loyalty to me.” He was showing off his behavior of poaching huaiqing’s men.

Because in the eyes of her siblings, she had always been bullied by huaiqing. Now that she had finally managed to turn the tables, she couldn’t hold back anymore. The more outstanding Xu Qi ‘an was, the happier she was, because the sense of achievement she felt was greater.

All the princes and princesses couldn’t help but laugh. The fourth prince secretly frowned. He was very unhappy with Lin ‘an’s action of stealing his sister’s corner.

However, even though he was the DI son of the Empress and should have the highest status, the position of Crown Prince was passed to the Shu eldest son, the current crown Prince, the blood brother of Lin an.

At the same time, Emperor Yuan jing treated all his children equally, but he only doted on Lin ‘an and did not like huaiqing. This made the fourth prince even less confident.

His mother had said that huaiqing was strong and overbearing, just like his father when he was young, but he was much more talented. If she was a man, her father would probably hate her even more.

“Who is Xu Qi ‘an?”

At this moment, huaiqing’s cold and melodious voice came from outside the door. The eldest Princess, who was wearing a moon-colored Palace dress, arrived.

All the princes and princesses clearly saw that Lin ‘an’s arrogant aura deflated with a “Xiu.” At first, she was unconvinced and seemed to want to fight head-on, but then she cowered. She puffed her cheeks and said loudly, “”We’ll split it half each!”

He used the most arrogant tone to say the most cowardly words.

Huaiqing chuckled.

She knew that Xu Qi ‘an was able to take advantage of the situation. She turned a blind eye to it, mainly because Lin’ an was a stupid sister and was not a threat at all. Snatching her away was just to get at her.

If it was any other Prince, if they dared to snatch her people like this, huaiqing would have retaliated, mercilessly retaliating, and not like how he had treated Lin ‘an, who was only scaring her.

Huaiqing walked in front of Lin ‘an and looked down at her from above.”Go away, I want this seat.”

The mounted man raised his head and could only see huaiqing’s eyes. He couldn’t see the lower half of her face because the disgusting few pounds of flesh on huaiqing’s chest blocked his view.

This made her very discouraged. This sister of hers was not only more talented than her, but also had a better figure. Other than her father’s love for her, there was nothing else that she could compare to huaiqing.

Ming Ji was a delicate girl, and after being bullied by huaiqing, she turned her head away aggrievedly.

She had no choice. She couldn’t win in a fight, and quarreling would be beneath her status as a Princess. Moreover, huaiqing was a scholar, and his words were not dirty. He was not her match.

The Crown Prince “coughed” and came out to warm up the scene, “”Huaiqing, don’t lower yourself to Lin ‘an’s level. You’re the older sister.”

Only then did huaiqing let go of the framing and stop bullying his sister.

…..

“Have you heard about what happened in the Imperial study today?” the Crown Prince asked casually while they were eating.

“The commandment monument and the water transportation Yamen?” the fourth prince immediately asked.

The Crown Prince nodded and smiled. we don’t have to interfere in the water transportation Yamen’s matter. Let the officials of the court and father make the decision. On the other hand, the matter of the commandment monument is truly amazing.”

The fourth prince nodded. you eat and you earn. The People’s wealth is the cream of the people. The people are easy to abuse, but the heavens can’t bully them!

“Good poem!” Huaiqing’s eyes lit up, and her beautiful face bloomed with radiance.

She had always been a person of few words when she ate or slept, but the inner core of this poem made the eldest Imperial daughter’s heart surge. She liked it more than ” when drunk, you don’t know the sky is water, and the dark fragrance floats in the evening moon.

What kind of lousy poem is this? it doesn’t have any artistic conception at all … Ming Ming said in her heart.

“Who wrote this poem?” Huai Qing asked, staring at the fourth prince.

She never paid attention to news from the palace.

“It’s Xu Qi ‘an,” the Crown Prince answered on his behalf.

“Good poem!” Ming Miao’s two small hands slapped the table and praised loudly.

“It’s his temper.” Huaiqing smiled.

what do you mean by his temper? you speak as if you know him very well. The framed man was used to bickering.

Huaiqing didn’t want to respond at first, but when he saw the princes looking at him, he muttered to himself,

Xu Qi ‘an hates evil. He doesn’t care about the big picture. He’s different from those scholars who only know how to talk.

“It’s about him cutting the silver Gong?” The Crown Prince said with a smile.

when I was chatting with Duke Wei the other day, I mentioned this person. huaiqing glanced at the princes.”Lord Wei said that Xu Qi ‘an has never embezzled a single cent since he was appointed.”

“Then what right do you have to say that he doesn’t care about small things?” She felt that huaiqing was slandering her beloved dog.

She glared at huaiqing fiercely.

“Xu Qi ‘an is addicted to the education workshop and doesn’t return home at night. He has a close relationship with Fu Xiang, the courtesan of the yingmei Pavilion,” said Princess huaiqing.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, his peach blossom eyes widened and he said loudly,”You’re talking nonsense.”

She muffled a few mouthfuls of rice and felt that the food was no longer fragrant. She threw her chopsticks down and said angrily, “”I’m not eating.”

She stood up, lifted her skirt, and left with her personal Palace maid.

….

Lin ‘an left in anger, but it didn’t affect everyone’s meal. The Crown Prince was a little embarrassed. He smiled and raised his glass, letting the banquet continue.

After the banquet ended, huaiqing returned to his palace and drank a large bowl of tea. Then, he sat in his boudoir and started to do breathing exercises.

Recently, she had secretly advanced to the Qi refining stage. The other day, she had “chatted” with Wei Yuan for this matter.

Huaiqing was very talented, but she had always kept it to herself and didn’t reveal it. However, as she grew older, she felt that she could properly increase her cultivation.

The main thing was that Emperor Yuan jing had not mentioned the marriage of the princesses for the entire year.

Her father was an immortal cultivator, and her mother was a Buddhist. If Emperor Yuan jing did not mention it, she would not care … His mother had always been like this. As the mother of the world, she was not keen on her position and identity.

“Your Highness, I’ve sent a letter from the Qing Province.” The guard rushed in.

“Mansion” referred to the huaiqing mansion in the Imperial City.

The princesses “and the princes” letters were usually not allowed to enter the palace, and would be sent to their respective manors.

Qingzhou? Princess huaiqing thought that layman Zi Yang had written a letter to her. She nodded and said,”Bring it over.”

The guard handed it over respectfully and took his leave.

Huaiqing opened the envelope. The first sentence read:When I wrote this letter, I had already arrived at the border of Qingzhou …

Huaiqing knew that it was Xu Qi ‘an who wrote the letter. The letter was very long, two pages in total. She read it with rapt attention. When she saw the corruption case of Yuzhou’s water transportation Yamen, Princess huaiqing’s face turned grave.

As he continued reading, he suddenly became a little frivolous. This was because the follow-up content was not in the tone of a subordinate reporting to his superior. It was more like a man speaking to the woman he liked …

growing out of the mud without being stained, lustful but not demonic, straight from the middle to the outside without vines nor branches, the fragrance is far away, pure and clean, can be seen from afar but not to be played with …

Princess huaiqing mumbled to herself, lost in her beautiful words. The image of a Lotus blooming appeared in her mind.

“It’s such. pity that Xu ningyan didn’t study, such a pity …” With that, Princess huaiqing tipped the envelope over, and a shriveled lotus petal slipped out.

This kid wrote this letter to confess his love to me? Princess huaiqing fell into deep thought.

If bengong hands the letter to the palace, even ten of his heads won’t be enough to chop off.

She folded the envelope and kept it in a book she didn’t usually read.

Then, she excitedly called the palace maid to grind the ink, wrote down the Golden sentence about Lotus in the letter, and hung it in the study.

Looking at this piece of calligraphy, the corners of Huai Qing’s mouth curled up slightly.

….

“What happened to His Highness?”

“I don’t know. I’ve been depressed ever since I came back from the crown prince’s place.”

perhaps she was bullied by the eldest Princess … But it doesn’t seem like it. If he was bullied by the eldest Princess, His Highness would have already scolded him and then ignored it. ”

In the courtyard, a few Palace maids gathered together to talk. Lin ‘an had just finished throwing a tantrum, so there were only two Palace maids accompanying him in the bedroom. The others did not dare to touch the bad luck.

“Your Highness, why must you be angry with Princess huaiqing …” Her personal Palace maid advised.

“It’s not her!” “It’s that dog slave,” Ming Miao said angrily.

The two Palace maids were stunned for a while before they realized who the ” dog slave ” was. One of them had even been smacked on the butt by Xu Qi ‘an.

The palace maids looked at each other with puzzled expressions, thinking that His Highness’s dog slave had left the capital for more than half a month.

“How did he offend His Highness again?”

“I don’t know,” Lin ‘an looked depressed. I just feel uncomfortable in my heart.

“???”

At this time, a guard came to the courtyard and requested to see the princess of Lin an. Seeing that it was a guard from her residence, the palace maid could only bite the bullet and knock on the door.

“Your Highness, the guards of the residence have requested an audience. They said that they have a letter for you from Qingzhou.”

A letter from Qingzhou? Lin ‘an was stunned. Her social circle was very small. Other than the brothers and sisters in the palace, the brothers and sisters of the imperial family, there were also some family members of the adults. Occasionally, they would write to her, inviting her to participate in the private Tea Party held in the women’s boudoir.

However, Qingzhou was not included in this list.

“Who sent the letter?” The palace maid asked.

“I don’t know,” The palace maid outside replied.

Her personal Palace maid glanced at Lin ‘an. Seeing her nod, she turned her head and shouted,”Bring it in,”
