Chapter 246 Guests in Yayan Pavilion
"Princess, Princess, the Princess of Qin is here! The Princess of Qin has come to Yayan Pavilion to visit the Queen and you!" The maid Wanting ran into the room quickly and informed Princess Yongqing.
Princess Yongqing stood up in surprise and said, "Really? My sister-in-law is here?!" Without waiting for the maid Wanting to answer, she ran out of the room, completely forgetting that there were two guests in the room.
The princess ran away, leaving behind two embarrassed guests. The maid Wanting said embarrassedly: "These days, my princess has been missing the Princess of Qin so much that she can't wait any longer. The two ladies, please wait for a moment."
Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi looked at each other, and Luo Ruixue said, "Since Princess Qin has come to Yayan Pavilion, shall we go and pay our respects to her?"
Li Jiaqi curled her lips, "If I don't go to pay my respects, I'll just sit here and do nothing. Who knows how long it will take? When Princess Yongqing heard that the Princess of Qin was coming, she forgot about us. I'm afraid she won't even remember that there are two friends in her boudoir until dark!"
The princess was so surprised today that she was rude. The maid Wanting smiled awkwardly and said, "If you two ladies want to go and pay your respects to the Princess of Qin, I will take you there!"
Luo Li had just greeted Queen Song who had hurried in from the small Buddhist temple. Before she could say a few words after sitting down, Princess Yongqing came running in.
When he looked closely, it was the sister-in-law he missed day and night sitting there. His nose felt sore, his mouth curled, and tears flowed out. He ran up to hug Luo Li and cried out, "Sister-in-law, you have been avoiding us for so many days. Don't you want my brother, my mother, and me?"
"Don't cry, Yongqing. Even if I don't want Zhao Defang, I will still want you." Luo Li patted Princess Yongqing's back with amusement and emotion, comforting the silly girl.
"Only Yongqing? Then...what about me?" Queen Song made a rare joke and looked at her daughter-in-law with an aggrieved look.
"Ah?" Luo Li was stunned! She thought, this extremely noble, elegant, and intelligent queen mother would also be jealous like a child? Should she take out a piece of candy to appease her?
Just coax him, coaxing one is coaxing, coaxing two is also coaxing.
Luo Li smiled and pushed Princess Yongqing away from her arms, soothing her and helping her sit down in her own seat. She walked in front of Queen Song and smiled lovingly and warmly: "Mother, come and give me a hug!"
Queen Song blushed, and just as she was about to say no, her daughter-in-law hugged her into her arms, patted her back and soothed her softly, "Mother, be good! I will come to the palace to see you every few days. One day, I will take you out of the palace to enjoy life, take you to travel, take you shopping and eat delicious food."
Queen Song, who was embarrassed and wanted to break free, was bewildered by the wonderful life described by her silly daughter-in-law.
In this life, will I have the chance to go out of the palace to go shopping, eat delicious food, and travel? If I could leave this dark, cold, lonely palace and live a beautiful and free life for a few days, I would die with my eyes closed.
Although I know this is impossible, I am still moved by the filial piety of my silly daughter-in-law.
Queen Song broke away from Luo Li's embrace, her face flushed with shame but she was not angry at her daughter-in-law's disrespectful behavior. She said softly, "Li'er, sit back and tell me what you have been busy with these days."
Luo Li returned to Princess Yongqing and squeezed into a chair with her. Yongqing hugged her sister-in-law's waist tightly, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
"Mother, Yongqing, I haven't been in the capital for more than three months, so I haven't come to the palace to visit you."
"Sister-in-law, where have you been?" Yongqing looked up at Luo Li in surprise and asked.
Luo Li smiled proudly: "I followed your brother to the front line to fight."
"Ah?..." Princess Yongqing's eyes widened in shock.
"What? You went to the front line?" Queen Song also stood up in shock.
Luo Li was just about to explain clearly and tell them about the situation of the Northern Expedition.
"Your Majesty, Miss Luo and Miss Li heard that the Princess of Qin has arrived, so they have come here specially to pay their respects." The voice of the palace maid Wanting was heard from outside the house.
Princess Yongqing let go of Luo Li, stood up, and said awkwardly: "Mother, I heard that the emperor's sister-in-law was here, and I forgot about them."
Queen Song glanced at her daughter in reproach and said, "Why don't you go and bring the person in quickly?"
Then he explained to Luo Li: "Yongqing went out of the palace to look for you in the palace but couldn't find you. When he was shopping, he met Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi in Jinlou. They stood up for her and taught the shopkeeper of Jinlou a lesson.
After that, they walked around the East Market together, and then they came to the palace every now and then to play with Yongqing. Concubine Li Xian allowed them to come to the palace at any time. I thought Yongqing was lonely and it would be good for him to have two playmates, so I didn't stop them. "
Luo Li just smiled and nodded, without commenting. But in her heart, she was thinking, what are these two Shangshu's daughters planning? Are they trying to steal my side, the Princess of Qin?
After Princess Yongqing apologized repeatedly to Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi, they were taken into the house and greeted Empress Song first, then bowed to the Princess of Qin, "Luo Ruixue, Li Jiaqi, meet the Princess of Qin."
Luo Li sat still, looking at Queen Song with curiosity and confusion and asked, "Mother, why did I see Miss Luo and Li Jiaqi kneel down and bow when they met Princess Chu and Princess Chen in the past?
Why do I have to kneel down and perform a small ceremony to pay respect to the Princess of Qin in the Yayan Pavilion? Didn't the Emperor say that the children of the previous emperor should be treated as his own and treated as his own children? The King of Qin is treated the same as the King of Chu and the King of Chen. Shouldn't I, the Princess of Qin, have the same status as the Princess of Chu and the Princess of Chen? "
Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi were annoyed! They thought to themselves, you silly princess really used chicken feathers as a token of authority. Are you worthy of kneeling down to pay homage?
The extremely intelligent Queen Song knew why her daughter-in-law was unhappy. She did not say anything, but glanced coldly at the two young ladies who were still standing.
Luo Ruixue was smart. Although she felt aggrieved, she quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your servant Luo Ruixue pays respect to the Princess of Qin."
Seeing that the always arrogant Luo Ruixue had given in, Li Jiaqi had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly, "Your servant Li Jiaqi pays respects to the Princess of Qin."
Luo Li was very dignified, and she lightly extended her hand to support them, "Two ladies, please stand up without formalities!"
The maid Wanting laughed at the side, thinking, "Aren't you guys here to pay your respects to the Princess of Qin?" Finally, she got what she wanted.
Princess Yongqing was also dissatisfied with these two new friends. Although she was an easy-going person and had never put on airs in front of Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi, if the emperor's sister-in-law wanted to punish someone, it would be that person's fault.
Seeing that no one even gave her a seat, Luo Ruixue knew that staying any longer would only bring humiliation upon herself. She was angry at the silly princess's harshness today, but she smiled calmly as she said goodbye to Queen Song, Princess Qin, and Princess Yongqing.
The simple and kind-hearted Princess Yongqing would never do such a thing as hitting someone who was smiling at her. Moreover, Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi had been trying their best to please her these days. She, who had always been isolated and neglected among the royal princesses, finally tasted the rare friendship between friends.
"I'll take you there. When you have time, come to the palace to play with me." Princess Yongqing, who no longer cared about anyone else because of her royal sister-in-law, still said this politely.
"Okay! When the peach blossoms on my farm bloom, the three of us will go to enjoy them." Luo Ruixue also climbed up with the help of the pole.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes! Mother doesn't like me running out of the palace all the time." Princess Yongqing did not agree immediately.
"Princess Yongqing, you have rarely left the palace since you were a child. You are so pitiful, just like a bird locked in a cage." Li Jiaqi said sympathetically.
Princess Yongqing smiled faintly: "I'm used to it! It's quiet and comfortable in the palace. I don't like crowds."
She sighed in her heart, her mother had said that they, mother and daughter, were like hostages in the palace, and their situation would not be dangerous for the time being, but it would be dangerous after leaving the palace and would cause trouble for her brother, the emperor.
In the past few years, the emperor's brother has encountered countless assassinations, and even the emperor's sister-in-law and Wu Ji were almost killed in the hot spring villa. As the emperor's weak point, it is better to hide in this deep palace cage as a hostage.
But, what young girl doesn’t like the hustle and bustle?
