Chapter 27 The Second Princess

Weng Jieyu stayed in bed for five days in a row. Not only was she envious and jealous of having a bunch of new people, she also made Xu Jieyu, Hui Bin and the other old people feel sour in their hearts.

Everyone was holding back their anger every day when they went to pay their respects to the Empress, and wanted to embarrass Weng Jieyu. However, except for Weng Jieyu's appearance when she paid her respects to the Empress on the first day, she had not been in bed during the past few days.

I never went to pay my respects to the Queen once.

In the Linglong Pavilion, Qingzhi, Qingdai and others looked a little anxious when they saw Lu Wanning, "Master, it's been five days, and the emperor rests in Zhilan Palace every night. If this continues, when will the master have the opportunity to sleep with him?"

Lu Wanning said to Qingzhi and Qingdai: "The emperor likes Weng Jieyu and wants to let her sleep with her, but we have no choice. You must be patient and don't be anxious. I have just entered the palace. There will be many opportunities to sleep with her in the future. You are anxious."

What?"

After saying that, Lu Wanning stood up and said: "There is no sun today, you two accompany me for a walk in the Imperial Garden."

The weather in May was already very hot, and Lu Wanning was unwilling to go out to bask in the sun when it came out.

Qingzhi and Qingdai sighed and went to the Royal Garden with Lu Wanning.

At this time, the peony flowering period has passed, but the peonies are in full bloom. Lu Wanning took Qingzhi and Qingdai for a walk in the imperial garden, and saw the peonies in bloom. She wanted to go back, but met a group of palaces.

A crowd of people gathered around a little girl about four years old and headed in their direction.

The little girl was running in front with a small net in her hand, and the palace servants behind her were following closely to protect her, lest she fall.

"Master, is this the eldest princess or the second princess?" Qingzhi asked Lu Wanning quietly.

There are two princesses in the palace now. The two princesses were born in the same year and are both four years old this year.

Lu Wanning carefully looked at the palace attendant following the little girl and guessed: "It should be the second princess."

The eldest princess Luo Yan was born to Concubine Jing, and the second princess Luo Lan was born to Concubine Hui Mingsu. Concubine Hui was the niece of Concubine Ming. Concubine Ming now lives with the Empress Dowager in Shou'an Palace. Because of Concubine Ming,

The second princess was very fond of the Queen Mother and often took her to Shou'an Palace to play.

The maid behind the second princess is dressed differently from the ordinary maids, and the material she wears is better than that of the maids beside the Queen. The ordinary maids in the palace can only wear one on their heads.

It was just a silk flower, but she had a gold hairpin on her head.

Apart from the eldest maid serving in front of the emperor, the only maid who dares to dress up like this in the palace is the eldest maid of Shou'an Palace.

The second princess was almost running in front of Lu Wanning at this time, and Lu Wanning stepped aside to make way for the second princess and her group.

But the second princess stopped when she ran in front of Lu Wanning. She tilted her head and looked at Lu Wanning for a while, then asked in a crisp voice: "Are you my father's concubine?"

"Yes." Lu Wanning nodded.

The second princess looked at her again and said, "I've never seen you before."

Lu Wanning said: "I just entered the palace during the election a few days ago."

"Oh, I was just wondering why I haven't seen you before. You are so good-looking. If I had seen you, I would definitely remember you." said the second princess.

Lu Wanning was amused by the serious expression on the second princess's face. The second princess was sweet and cute. No wonder the Queen Mother liked her.

"You look better when you smile." The second princess nodded.

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "The second princess is also very good-looking."

"Of course I am the prettiest." After the second princess finished speaking, she raised her little chin proudly and said, "Because you are so discerning, I allow you to accompany me to catch butterflies."

It was a somewhat arrogant gesture, but it was particularly cute when done by a four-year-old child.

The eldest maid of Cining Palace, Lingxiu, who was following the second princess, heard the words and called out: "Second princess", and coaxed softly: "Slaves, can you accompany you to catch butterflies?"

The second princess shook her head, "I don't want it. She's pretty, so I want her to accompany me to catch butterflies."

Lu Wanning smiled at Lingxiu and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if I play with the second princess for a while."

After Lu Wanning finished speaking, the second princess took her hand and said, "Since you promised, you can't go back on your word. Come and play with me."

Lu Wanning followed the second princess's pull and followed the second princess towards the large peony bush.

The maids, eunuchs and others beside the second princess followed closely behind them.

The second princess pulled Lu Wanning to the large patch of peonies. She stood on tiptoes and looked around for a long time. She called Lingxiu behind her angrily, "Sister Lingxiu, you lied to me. There are no butterflies in the imperial garden."

? Why can’t I see one?”

Lingxiu is wrong, there are indeed a lot of butterflies in the Royal Garden on weekdays. Who knows what will happen today.

The second princess suddenly wanted to catch butterflies on a whim. It stands to reason that there are a lot of butterflies in this season, but the second princess and them spent a long time in the small garden of Shou'an Palace and couldn't catch a single butterfly. Seeing that the second princess was about to cry,

She suggested that the second princess come to the imperial garden, saying that there must be butterflies in the imperial garden, but unfortunately there were not many butterflies in the imperial garden today.

Lingxiu was just thinking about how to coax the second princess when she heard Lu Wanning say softly to the second princess: "Second princess, look if there is a butterfly there."

The second princess looked in the direction pointed by Lu Wanning, and sure enough she saw a butterfly landing on the stamen of a perfectly opened peony flower.

The second princess immediately held her breath and said to the palace maid and eunuch behind her: "Quick, quick, help me catch it."

Several palace maids and eunuchs rushed towards the butterfly from several sides, and the second princess also waved her little net around, but the beautiful-colored butterfly still could not be caught.

The second princess watched the butterflies fly away, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and she said angrily and aggrievedly: "Why are you so stupid? You can't even catch a butterfly."

Several palace maids and young eunuchs hurriedly knelt down and admitted their mistake: "Second Princess, please forgive me, I'm a little girl/servants are stupid, Second Princess, don't be angry, slaves will help Second Princess find butterflies, and I will definitely help Second Princess if I find them this time."

The princess caught it."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Lu Wanning looked at the crying second princess, sighed, bent down and said softly to the second princess: "Second princess, don't cry anymore, I have a way to help you catch the butterfly."

The second princess stopped sobbing and stared at Lu Wanning with a pair of big moist eyes: "Really? You didn't lie to me?"
