Princess Mingwei was happy today and had a few more drinks.
After I got home and settled my daughter Shutang, I couldn't bear the sleepiness and took a nap for a while.
The incense cage was warm, and she slept soundly.
When she woke up, it was almost dark, and Prince Consort Qiao had already returned.
Princess Mingwei was helped up by the maid to wash her face and change clothes.
She is quite particular about this.
Although they are an old couple and have two children, Princess Mingwei still refuses to let her husband see her unkempt appearance.
She has to comb her hair smooth no matter what.
Get up and change into regular clothes at home.
Consort Qiao also knew his wife's habits very well and waited across the screen.
The maid opened the lid of the smoker and added a handful of spice powder.
The elegant tea-like smell slowly spread in the room.
Very light taste, but refreshing.
It's not like the usual aromas in the house, which are always too strong and make people feel a little breathless.
Prince Consort Qiao couldn't help but raise his head and asked: "What kind of fragrance is this?
It smells like tea."
"It's called tea fragrance."
Princess Mingwei came out from behind the screen: "The imperial concubine's palace used a little of this fragrance.
I praised it after smelling it, and she gave me a box."
Princess Mingwei said to Prince Consort Qiao.
Sitting down next to me: "Where are you coming from?"
"We talked for a while at Prince Chang's Mansion."
Prince Consort Qiao looked at his wife with a smile.
When my wife put on makeup and went out this morning, she looked as if she was going to the battlefield full of fighting spirit.
Now it seems that she has indeed returned in triumph.
Consort Qiao admired Princess Mingwei's fighting spirit and desire for power very much.
Princess Mingwei has not received everything that a royal princess deserves since she was a child, and Princess Mingshou has been weighing on her for many years.
However, Princess Mingwei has never felt sorry for herself.
She only gave full play to her own strengths and served as a leader among the royal family members.
Earn a place for yourself and pave a way for your children's future.
When people go to higher places, no one wants to be demeaned and trampled by others.
Prince Consort Qiao understood his wife's temperament soon after their wedding, and the couple quickly formed a tacit understanding and worked hard for the same goal.
"The imperial concubine looks very good, and what happened last night did not affect her mood at all."
Princess Mingwei said, "But then the emperor arrived at Yong'an Palace, and we dispersed.
Did the emperor drink too much in the front?"
To be honest, Princess Mingwei didn't believe it.
Her royal brother was one of the few resolute people, and it was unlikely that such a thing would happen to him if he drank too much.
When this imperial brother rarely lost his temper since he was a child, Princess Mingwei even doubted whether he used a ruler to measure the length of each step, and then walked strictly according to this measurement.
In fact, this conjecture is not an unfounded fantasy.
The emperor did pay attention to his posture for a period of time.
He must comply with the law when standing, lying, sitting, and walking, and he must not lose the slightest bit of composure.
Even in the past, when he recruited concubines in the harem, he was very strict.
He had never shown any preference for anyone.
Sometimes Princess Mingwei feels that the emperor does not look like a real person and is not very popular.
But it's different now.

Since the imperial concubine began to rise to prominence, the emperor gradually became different from before.
Making exceptions is something that happens once and for all.
Later, everyone gradually became accustomed to it and no longer felt strange about it.
Prince Consort Qiao shook his head and said, "The Emperor only drank two or three glasses.
Later, someone offered a toast, and the Emperor just touched his lips."
Prince Consort Qiao is a careful and cautious person, and he can notice details that others don't care much about.
Since he said this, the emperor really didn't drink too much.
Therefore, the emperor did not go to Yong'an Palace to rest because he drank too much, but made a special trip to see the imperial concubine.
I didn't expect that the emperor would also have such a day.
The imperial concubine is really capable.
Prince Consort Qiao was not in a teasing mood like his wife.
He had a wide range of information, no worse than Princess Mingwei.
"There must be something wrong in the palace."
Princess Mingwei said in surprise: "What?"
She didn't see it at all.
"After Bai Hongqi went in to reply, the emperor left the table.
We drank a few more drinks and then dispersed.
When I left the palace gate, I noticed that the people from the Inner Palace Prison Department were standing on the upper floor of the palace gate."
Princess Mingwei is far more perceptive than her husband.
She was born and raised in the palace, and her understanding of the palace is far beyond what people outside the palace can match.
The imperial concubine was also called out and never showed up again.
What could happen that would make the emperor and his concubine leave such important guests alone?
Princess Mingwei thought of children first.
She is also a mother, and her children are more important to her than anything else.
Could it be that something happened to the second prince or Princess Yuyao?
Princess Mingwei couldn't sit still anymore.
She stood up and walked a few steps in the room.
She called someone through the window: "Ask Nanny Song to come."
But until dark, Princess Mingwei didn't get the news.
The palace door was closed, and the high palace wall isolated the inside and outside.
Now it is impossible for people outside the palace to know what happened inside the palace walls.
This incident wiped out Princess Mingwei's good mood.
She had been speculating about the situation in the palace and wondered if there would be any big changes in the palace after today.
There has been a lot of turmoil in the palace in the past two years.
Princess Mingwei feels that she may be tired of having a family and getting older, and is no longer as fearless as she was when she was young.
She has a husband, children, a family and a career, so she can't afford to take risks, nor can she withstand big storms.
The eldest prince was obviously very tired during dinner.
During the festival, one banquet after another was not only an embarrassing burden for the adults, but also for the eldest prince.
Even his mental excitement could not conceal the fact that his physical condition was much worse than that of ordinary people.
At this time, the tiredness on his face could no longer be concealed, and he had eaten very little for dinner.
Xie Ning asked someone to make him a portion of porridge, but the eldest prince ate nothing but half a bowl of porridge.
After dinner, the eldest prince confessed his crime and went back.
When Liu Shanggong served the eldest prince to undress, wash and go to bed, the eldest prince was still awake before and fell asleep while washing his feet.
Liu Shanggong carefully dried the eldest prince's feet, laid him down, covered him tightly with the quilt and put down the curtain, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Shanggong also knew something was wrong.

Although she didn't know what happened, she didn't dare to ask around.
Her heart was pounding and she couldn't sit still.
The wind had picked up after dark, and now it was blowing harder and harder.
The sound of the wind outside Yong'an Palace sounded like some wild beast roaring.
Liu Shanggong did not leave, so she stayed by the eldest prince's bed doing needlework.
There was a slit in the sleeve of the robe that the eldest prince wore today.
Liu Shanggong simply took out a needle and thread and started to mend it while the light was on.
As she continued to sew, her mood finally calmed down.
Putting down his needlework, Liu Shanggong opened a corner of the tent and took a look at the eldest prince's peaceful sleeping face, feeling more at ease.
Today's days are different from those in the past.
At this time last year, the palace was also in a state of turmoil.
Liu Shanggong was in panic all day long, for fear that he would be implicated.
Anyone in the palace who didn't know anyone could really relate to everyone.
She was afraid that at some point those people from the Criminal Division would break in, gag her and drag her away.
But now she doesn't have to be afraid.
On the contrary, Liu Shanggong felt very calm.
No matter how strong the storm is, Yong'an Palace is safe.
She served the eldest prince well and wholeheartedly, and the eldest prince was a child who knew how to be grateful and valued friendship.
She would definitely have her whereabouts in the future, and she would no longer have to worry like others.
Princess Yuyao and Xie Ning were playing together.
Princess Yuyao liked this.
She looked at a row of small pens arranged in a row and a plate of paint that had been mixed.
She excitedly grabbed the pen and painted the picture with only lines.
It's just that Princess Yuyao is too arbitrary.
For example, Xie Ning has never done anything like painting flowers green and leaves red.
Princess Yuyao likes bright colors and exaggerated graphics.
She painted it so carefully that even after tracing the pattern, Xie Ning and Fang Shanggong could hardly recognize the original picture.
"Very good.
Then let the people from the Needlework Bureau take this pattern tomorrow and make you a skirt to wear."
Xie Ning said with a smile: "Don't say you won't wear it then."
Princess Yuyao smiled.
She smiles very delicately, her little nose is a little wrinkled, her eyes are narrowed, she is a perfect beauty.
There is something about her that looks like Concubine Shu, including her eyes and lips.
But he also resembles the emperor.
The outline of his face and sometimes his demeanor are all more like the emperor.
She was so absorbed in painting just now that her sleeves, wrists, and cheeks were all stained with paint.
They looked very funny, but they were really cute.
Xie Ning told Guo Shanggong to send Princess Yuyao to sleep, and the emperor came back from the small study.
He immediately caught sight of the paper that had not yet been collected.
"What is this?"
Large blocks of golden red, bright purple, green and blue are intertwined together, and they are painted horizontally and vertically.
The colors and graphics are crowded together, making people feel dizzy at a glance.
"This is a painting by Yu Yao."
Xie Ning pursed her lips and smiled, taking the drawing from the emperor's hand: "I also said that tomorrow I will make her a skirt according to the pattern she drew."
The emperor actually nodded in agreement: "Probably, she drew it herself and let her wear it."

The emperor picked up the pen beside him and wrote a word on the spread paper.
"Hong" Xie Ning read aloud unconsciously.
"After the Lantern Festival, the jade ultimatum will be officially published."
"I thought about the words several times, but I still think this is good, sounds good, and means well.
Take a look."
Xie Ning nodded and said, "I think it's pretty good too."
The emperor wrote out the few words he had originally thought of and showed them to her so that she could have a comparison.
But Xie Ning looked over and over, and still felt that Hongzi was the best.
Probably because of preconceptions, I have already recognized the name in my heart, and no matter how I look at other words, I feel that it is not good enough.
"Then let's decide on this word."
Ying Hong, it sounds quite pleasant
