Chapter 31

With Shen Yixiu's departure, the Lantai Poetry Society was probably over. Princess Shouning spent a lot of money to find fault, and did not overshadow Princess Changping's limelight. Instead, she helped her publicize the reputation of her son-in-law Li Mian.

The Lantai Poetry Society, which was at its climax, had to come to an abrupt end, which made many talented scholars feel regretful.

Sun Yifa was even more infuriated, because of Li Mian's new poem "Mulan Flower Order", he missed a good opportunity to get the red paper invitation card.

That was Liu Rushi's invitation to go on a cruise, and you could sit outside the bead curtains of the most brilliant Qingmen by the Jinshui River and enjoy Liu Rushi's dance in neon clothes.

Sun Yifa has long heard about Liu Rushi's small waist, how thin it is like a willow, but he has never had the chance to see it.

Today can be said to be the closest he was to Liu Rushi, but in the end he was lost before his eyes.

Sun Yifa went back annoyed and aggrieved. He didn't fall asleep all night, but he didn't toss and turn like the officials and ladies, thinking 'if life is just like the first time you see it'.

Princess Changping returned to the embroidery room with Hongqiao and the pheasant slave, and personally lit the white glazed high foot lamp. The light was dim yellow, illuminating the wing room full of various account books.

The pheasant slave's eyes widened, he forgot to bite the candied fruit that he secretly stuffed into his mouth, and looked at Princess Changping cutely.

Princess Changping advocates frugality, and has never taken the initiative to light up the white-glazed sorghum lamps in the embroidery room. Usually, the close maids couldn't stand it anymore and lit the white-glazed high foot lamps.

The situation where Princess Changping took the initiative to light up the white-glazed high foot lamp has only been seen once in all these years.

That was when I was in a good mood. The last time I saw it was the Empress Dowager celebrating her birthday. The Empress Dowager received grace and came to the capital from Jinling.

The mother and son looked at each other from a distance at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

After returning, Princess Changping lit the white-glazed lamps in the embroidery room.

With a kind smile on Hongqiao's face, he knew why Princess Changping behaved abnormally.

She walked to the mahogany desk and took away the green and white glazed teapot on it.

Walking along the corridor to the first floor of the embroidery room, I replaced the green and white glazed teapot containing Kudingcha with a pot of Xiaoxianchun.

When Hongqiao walks along the corridor to the second floor of the embroidery room again, and pushes the door open, Princess Changping is already sitting in front of the window lattice.

The wicker panes were opened slits, and the slits were wider than when the lattices were opened last time.

In Hongqiao's hand, Xiaoxianchun put it on the mahogany incense table next to the window lattice, and took out a green and white glazed tureen, and put it beside the teapot.

After finishing all this, Hongqiao looked at the figure of Hong Luofuzi by the window lattice, and the kind smile on his face became wider, and he pulled the pheasant slave to prepare to leave the embroidery room.

Before Hongqiao left the wing room, she suddenly patted her forehead with her hand: "Oh, I forgot one thing, Miss Shen took away the wax note with the Magnolia Order written on my uncle."

Princess Changping sat in front of the window lattice, looked through the gap to the East Wing where Li Mian was, stretched out her hand and held the white glazed teapot, ready to pour a cup of Xiaoxianchun.

When she heard Hongqiao's words, she held the teapot in her innocent hand, and paused, not wanting to continue pouring tea.

When the pheasant slave heard this, he understood that it was Princess Changping who lit up the lights because of the new poem "Mulan Flower Order", and rolled his eyes with a smile.

The pheasant slave quickly took a few bites of candied fruit, quickly finished the candied fruit in his small mouth, and said in a chirping voice: "Young master should not have rested yet, this servant will go to the wing room and pester you to write another magnolia flower decree." , Princess, don’t rest first, the servants will come back as soon as they go, we must wait for the servants to come back.”

The pheasant slave chirped and ran down the embroidery room with the goose-yellow ruqun 'dongdongdong', and ran along the courtyard corridor into the east wing where she and my uncle lived, and saw the faint yellow lights in the wing .

Li Mian was sitting in front of the window lattice, holding a miscellaneous book in his hand, waiting for the pheasant slave to come back.

The pheasant slave breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the uncle came back, and chattered: "Young master wrote the wax paper on the Magnolia Order this morning, and it was taken away by Miss Shen. Can you write another one? Show it to the princess. My uncle doesn’t know that when the magnolia song appeared in the red camphor wood boat, it made Princess Shouning very angry, so I helped the princess vent her anger.”

Li Mian heard the chattering of the pheasant slave, but because he was not sitting in the green curtain on the big red camphor wood boat, he didn't understand some of the people and things he said.

However, I understood the last sentence, and the casually written "Mulan Flower Order" helped Princess Changping vent her anger.

Li Mian smiled, took out the ox tongue ink and put it in the red silk inkstone, rubbed out the ink, picked up the flat-tip brush, and wrote a new "Magnolia Order".

Before the ink on the wax paper dried up, the pheasant slave held the wax paper in both hands, and ran out 'thump thump thump'.

"Princess, princess, the magnolia order written by my uncle is here."

I haven't seen the figure of the pheasant slave yet, but I have heard her cheerful voice.

Princess Changping showed a rare smile, and waited until Hongqiao left the second floor of the embroidery room with the pheasant slave, closed the wooden door, picked up the wax paper with the ink still not dry, and admired it carefully.

I don't know how long it has passed, but Princess Changping suddenly spoke up: "With the talent of the son-in-law, I won't be criticized if I go to Beichen Garden to teach Longmen accounts in the future. What do you think?"

Beichen Garden, also known as Qingke Garden, is inhabited by Qingke recruited by Princess Changping. Because they are all women, they are called a female Qingke.

Usually helping Princess Changping handle various accounts, the degree of trust is second only to the four personal maids.

Hongqiao and Pheasant Nu stood at the door and did not leave, waiting for Princess Changping's order, they already knew it in their hearts, and this time they would pay more attention to my uncle.

But what the two of them never expected was that it was actually arranging for the uncle to go to Qingke Garden to teach female Qingke.

The pheasant slave was happier than eating the sweetest candied fruit, immediately took out a piece of candied fruit from the embroidery pouch, put it in his mouth, and began to bite.

Hongqiao agreed very much in his heart, and quickly helped my uncle with a good word: "My uncle can go to the Qingke Garden to teach Longmen accounts, of course he is competent. With my uncle's talent in making this magnolia flower order, no one dares to disagree. , this slave thinks that it would be perfect for my uncle to go to the Qingke Garden."

Princess Changping put down the wax paper in her hand, raised her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows, and looked at the east wing through the gap in the window lattice.

Behind the dimly lit wicker panes.

A figure appeared.

Li Mian hadn't rested yet, he was sitting by the window lattice reading a book.

Princess Changping picked up the green and white glazed teacup, put it on her vermilion lips, and drank Xiao Xianchun in one gulp, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

"Squeak-"

Princess Changping closed the window lattice, blew out the white-glazed high lamp, and fell asleep on the bed.

Hong Qiao and Pheasant Nu saw that the lights in the wing room had gone out, understood the princess' thoughts, and left the second floor of the embroidery room one after another.

"Uncle and uncle."

The pheasant slave carried the goose-yellow Ru skirt and ran into the east wing happily: "The princess said, let my uncle go to the Qingke Garden to teach Longmen Accounting in the future."
