Chapter 627 The Palace Exams, Competition for Gifts
“May I ask, is this the house of Princess Jingde?” A woman’s polite questioning voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Wei Yuewu froze for a moment, she didn’t think that there was anyone else in this palace that she was familiar with, those few young ladies weren’t very familiar with her either, who would this be to find herself.
Jin Ling got Wei Yuewu’s hint and went out to open the door, not long after leading a group of palace maidens in, certainly one looked seventeen or eight years old.
“Slave girl has seen Jing De County Lord, slave girl is beside the third princess, heard that Jing De County Lord came into the palace again, our third princess is very high, originally wanted to invite Jing De County Lord this will go over to talk, but afraid that the fourth princess is not happy, so specially sent slave girl over, gave some gifts to Jing De County Lord.”
The courtesan took a step back, but she saw four courtesans of fifteen or sixteen years old standing behind her, each holding a brocade box in their hands, respectfully bowing together towards Wei Yuewu.
The courtesan in the lead smiled and opened one box after another, immediately a gorgeous brocade appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, and finally a box full of ornaments.
Only once it was opened, the beads and jewelry, flashing people’s eyes.
“This is …” Wei Yuewu raised her head and looked at the palace maid in front of her with dismay.
“This is our third princess’s heart, last time Jingde county princess left the palace in a hurry, our third princess didn’t have time to thank, moreover, in the palace, Jingde county princess was also almost framed, always because of the blessing for our princess caused, our third princess is very overly sorry, specially sent a slave girl to send these to, also hope that the county princess to accept it.”
The courtesan eloquently said, and dragged out what had happened before as well, putting it together as if she was really sincere.
But for this kind of sincerity of the Third Princess, Wei Yuewu really couldn’t afford to consume it, and at that moment, she pondered for a moment.
See Wei Yuewu pondered not say, the palace maid will look at the color of the smile, “county princess, you can rest assured, this thing will not conflict with the fourth princess, the fourth princess for the blessing of the mountains and rivers, of course, everything to the fourth princess as the main, even if we want to find the princess to talk to the county princess, but also to find the county princess is not busy when the county princess is not the general status, in fact, can be another secluded residence, such as living in our third princess there, can also give us the third princess as a companion. Third Princess’s place, can also give our Third Princess as a companion.”
“This … I’m afraid I still have to ask the Fourth Princess what she wants!” Although Wei Yuewu was not sure what this sudden enthusiasm of the Third Princess was all about, she still smiled and excused herself.
“That’s true, but after the Fourth Princess’ matter is over, the county princess can still be a companion to our princess.” The palace maid laughed.
“Let’s talk about this … when the time comes!” Wei Yuewu froze slightly, then laughed.
“This matter indeed has to be discussed later, the third princess’s gift please accept it, or else the slave girls here will not be able to return to deliver!” The palace maid turned the conversation back to the previous words.
With such a turn of events, it was so that Wei Yuewu could not even say the words of refusal.
“Then thank you Third Princess, if sometimes I will definitely go and thank Third Princess.” Wei Yuewu softly said.
“Then the slave girls will go back and report to the Third Princess.” The palace maid came quickly and smiled as she gave Wei Yuewu a respectful salute before ordering a few other palace maids to put down the gift boxes in their hands.
Watching these few palace maids leave, Wei Yuewu secretly frowned, this attitude of the third princess is really attentive.
It almost had the appearance that he couldn’t even accept it if he didn’t, and if he hadn’t finally promised that he would go and thank the Third Princess, these few court ladies wouldn’t have left so quickly.
Could it be that something had happened that he didn’t know about? The last time he came to the palace to accompany the Third Princess, the Third Princess hadn’t been this attentive either.
“Sheriff, what does the third princess mean? Could it be because of the last incident …” Jinling also surprised, “Could it be that she is trying to catch what wants to harm the Sheriff again?”
Last time, at the end, the third princess, together with Wei Qiufu, also counted Wei Yuewu, and Jinling didn’t have any good feelings towards her.
“Not like!” Wei Yuewu shook her head, her watery eyes revealing a hint of darkness, the Third Princess’ attitude was truly suspicious.
“And why is the Third Princess? Last time, the county princess came to accompany her, and she didn’t see that she was so nice to the county princess, and even tried to backstab the county princess, and this time, the county princess came to accompany the fourth princess, and the third princess’s reward wasn’t in the right name.” Golden Bell asked in disbelief.
Wei Yuewu only wanted to reply, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming over, at that moment she closed her mouth, her watery eyes looked towards the door, when the Third Princess’s courtesan left just now, the door wasn’t closed.
“May I ask if this is where County Lord Jingde lives?” A person dressed as a palace maid appeared at the door and asked with a smile.
“It is exactly our Sheriff, may I ask if you are …,” Golden Bell said as she stepped forward.
“The slave girl is the person beside the Fourth Princess, specially following the orders of the Fourth Princess, she has come to send a gift to County Lord Jingde!” Upon hearing that this is Wei Yuewu’s place, the palace maid smiles and strides in, followed by four small palace maids as well, with the same array of brocade boxes in their hands as the several palace maids from the party.
Wei Yuewu immediately had a feeling of crying and laughing, what is this called, the fourth princess and the third princess actually came to send gifts in the same way.
The palace maid came in and rushed to Wei Yuewu and gave a deep brush, “Sheriff, our fourth princess was very happy to hear that shounen master had entered the palace, among the young ladies who accompanied our princess to pray for blessings this time, just shounen master’s status is the highest, originally, we didn’t want to trouble shounen master, but we heard that shounen master’s destiny is clear and beneficial to the mountains and rivers and the earth and so invited shounen master in again, our princess is very overjoyed, so she sent a slave girl to greet County Lord.”
Another one that can talk, not only explaining the reason why the fourth princess should think highly of herself, but also dragging out the destiny clear, but this kind of so-called destiny clear thing is not something that ordinary people can understand, but yet they dare not disbelieve.
Just like the rumor of that phoenix destined daughter that came from Yan land, even though in the end the wind and the master didn’t find it, but it was due to Jing Wen Yan, it is evident that this so-called phoenix destined daughter, with a clear destiny, are all the best reasons to be valued, Wei Yuewu even believes that this will even be the Empress Mother also sends a gift, it seems to be justified.
The same brocade box was opened, the satin was gorgeous, the jewelry was exquisite, and none of it represented anything other than the importance of the Fourth Princess.
“Thank your Fourth Princess for me!” Knowing that this mark was bound to be received, Wei Yueyue Dance said with a smile.
“Then put it here!” The courtesan laughed, instructing those few courtesans to put down the brocade boxes in their hands, as if they hadn’t seen the sliver of brocade boxes that had been laid out before.
“Your Highness, the slave maids are excused, Your Highness came here this time to pray for the blessing of our Princess, and our Empress Mother is particularly fond of it as well, so if Your Highness is free, you can go to our Empress Mother’s place to sit down for a while.”
The courtesan laughed.
“Yes!” Wei Yuewu nodded respectfully.
Seeing Wei Yuewu behaving in a respectful manner, the palace maid went back with satisfaction.
Duxiu Palace of the house is actually not big, a house divided into inside and outside, separated by a screen, and now the table in the outer room with eight boxes, immediately let a person feel crowded up in the outer room.
“Sheriff, what do these two princesses mean?” Golden Bell’s brows tightly furrowed as she looked at the eight open brocade boxes, and no matter how she looked at them, she felt that there was something going on here.
“Jinling, you go find the steward of the Reservoir Palace in a moment and ask if we can switch to the previous house!” Wei Yuewu looked at the several brocade boxes in silence and said only after half a second.
“Sheriff wants to move to the previous house? I’m afraid there’s something wrong with that house, the slave girl thinks it’s better for us to stay far away from there!”
Goldbell was startled and hurriedly lowered her voice to stop.
“It’s not really moving over, just going to probe for a bit, if the steward doesn’t agree, you let bring her to return to me.” Wei Yuewu would also be in the clouds this time, but one thing is for sure, those two rooms were lived in at that time because Wei Feng Yao was the first to move in.
Afterwards, he and Wei Qiufu were out of the palace, but the palace stewards were bound to be punished, and I believe that no one would be willing to be punished again.
“Yes, slave girl will go at once!” Golden Bell nodded knowingly and turned to walk out.
Wei Yuewu stood up and walked to those eight brocade boxes, eight brocade boxes four, four groups of four, not only did they look similar, even the gifts inside were not similar.
Listening to the words of the palace maid just now, this gift giving behavior of the fourth princess, should be and the empress mother through the air, maybe still from the empress mother these things, but the third princess’s things are not inferior, visible this matter or also not the third princess alone.
And the Third Princess also robbed the Third Princess of a move, does it mean that Tu Zhao Yi’s power in this palace is not much worse than Empress Tu’s?
A family of two consorts, one is also a noble queen, the other status is a little lower, but gave birth to one of the emperor’s four sons, and there is also a favored daughter, which originally illustrated the unusual nature of Tu Zhaoyi.
So now this, does it represent a fight between Empress Tu and Tu Zhaoyi?
In the past, we all know that the third princess and the fourth princess in order to fight Yan Huaijing, quite against, but I can not imagine that behind these two people have their own mother for their advice.
But why do they all seem to be interestingly competing for themselves all of a sudden …
It’s a truly mysterious thing!
Jinling came back fairly quickly, and at the same time following Jinling over was also one of the stewardship sisters of the Reservoir Palace, but not one that Wei Yueyue Dance had seen before.
“Slave servant meets the county princess!” Seeing Wei Yuewu, the Stewardess Sister was also polite and hurriedly walked a few steps over to salute.
“What I saw last … time didn t seem to be you?” Wei Yuewu slightly furrowed her willow brows, as if she was trying to recall something.
“It’s also the first time for slave girl to see the county princess, the last time the county princess saw here must not be a slave girl.” The Stewardess Sister accompanied with a smile.
“Where is the Stewardess Sister from last time?” Wei Yuewu looked at her and asked slowly.
“This … might be transferred!” The Stewardess Sister said vaguely.
“Transferred to where?” Wei Yuewu’s soulful watery eyes fell on the stewardess.
“This … this, the slave girl doesn’t know either!” The supervising Sister could not have imagined that Wei Yuewu would have such a pot-breaking attitude, and stuttered for a moment.
“Then Mo Ru, why don’t you take us to the palace gates to inquire?” Wei Yue Ming smiled and stood up.
“Slave girl …” The Stewardess Sister looked at Wei Yuewu with her mouth open, but she couldn’t say a word!
