Chapter 34 Bright Moon He Jiaojiao
In that room, Ning'an's ceremonial guards were magnificent, walking towards the eldest princess's mansion located on Shiwangfu Street.
On the phoenix sedan chair, Princess Ning'an was staring at her palm of Sai Xuejiu Shuang. There was a semicircular jade pendant lying quietly, with the same material and shape as Zhao Shouzheng's one.
The only difference is that the word "Shouzheng" is engraved on the head of the eldest princess.
As he looked, Princess Ning'an couldn't help but remember the poem by Lao Su that Zhao Shouzheng had recited to herself.
‘The swing is on the wall and the road is outside the wall. The pedestrians are outside the wall, and the beautiful women are on the wall.
The laughter gradually fades away from hearing the sound, but the passionate ones are annoyed by the ruthless ones...'
"He is passionate but annoyed by ruthlessness..." Ning An couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Zhao Lang, it's been sixteen years, you must have forgotten Ning An..."
Before we knew it, the ceremonial guard arrived at Shiwang Mansion Street, and the eunuchs carried the phoenix sedan chair directly into the grand Princess's Mansion.
Hearing Liu Shanggong shouting "Sealing in the sedan chair", Ning An hurriedly put the jade pendant into his sleeve. Then he wiped the corners of his eyes with a veil, took a deep breath, and adjusted himself back to the state of a dignified princess.
When she stepped out of the sedan chair, she saw that in addition to her daughter, Lanling County Lord Li Mingyue, there was also a beautiful and gentle girl.
"Xiaojing is here too." Ning An smiled kindly, pulled up the girl's cold little hand and said, "Look, you're so cold, hurry up and warm up, don't be so polite in the future."
The girl shook her head and smiled, "Your Highness, the courtesy should not be abolished."
"Mom, look, she is like this. If she hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have come out." Li Mingyue was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her body had grown, slightly taller than Princess Ning'an.
She has a delicate melon-shaped face, a phoenix-like eye like Ning An, and a very slight nose. She seems to have red lips that always have smiles. She is accompanied by a pair of thin, long and slightly raised heroic eyebrows. She will definitely be a great beauty who will upside down in the future.
God didn't know how much effort he had put on her, but she didn't seem to be receiving this affection... She was wearing a black gauze net scarf on her head, a tight moon white yelling with narrow sleeves, and a pair of long deer leather boots under her feet, as if she was ready to go on a horse to hunt at any time.
"If someone Xiaojing is half sensible, her mother will live ten more years." Ning An grabbed her daughter and tied her hair on her head and scolded her: "Every girl is like a tomboy all day long. I see how you get married in the future."
"Oh oh oh, I know, I know..." Li Mingyue struggled to escape from her mother's clutch, hid behind the female companion, and grimaced at Ning An and said, "Why do you want to get married? I won't marry. It's not good for me to stay at home with my mother."
"What are you talking nonsense!" The eldest princess was furious when she heard this.
Li Mingyue took Xiaojing's hand and ran away first.
"Hey, this damn girl." The eldest princess was amused and crying. With the help of Liu Shanggong, she walked towards the warm pavilion and asked, "Where is Cheng'en? Why didn't she see him?"
Liu Shanggong turned his inquiry eyes to the female official who was guarding the house.
The female official hurriedly reported: "Mr. Xu held a literary meeting and asked the little master to attend. Before leaving, the little master said that he would not come back to disturb His Highness if he was too late and would live directly in the East Mansion."
The princess and princesses of the Ming Dynasty did not live together. The princess lived in the princesses's mansion on Shiwangfu Street, while the princesses gave a house elsewhere.
After Ning'an's son-in-law Li He passed away, Jiajing did not take back the house. Longqing even stated that after her son Li Chengen became an adult, he directly changed the son-in-law's mansion to the Earl's mansion. Because its location was east of the eldest princess' mansion, the palace people were called "East Mansion".
"What literary skills are you? Are you lying to the monkey?" Ning An gritted his teeth in anger, "I must be drunk again, so I dare not come back to live."
After saying that, she stomped her feet and said, "There are no troublesome things for these two goods!"
Liu Shanggong and others could not follow the princess to scold her children, so they had to shrink their necks and pretend that they didn't hear it.

In that room, Li Mingyue pulled the girl named Xiaojing back to her embroidery building.
It is said to be an embroidery building, but there is no female red embroidery, flowers, plants, etc. commonly found in girls' rooms. Instead, it is a long and short hunting bow hanging on the wall, various ice skates placed on the table, and a pair of unfinished snowboards.
After entering the room, Li Mingyue continued to sit in front of the stove and continued to serve her snowboard carefully. Xiaojing sat next to the warm cage, picked up her book, and continued to read quietly.
"Xiaojing, do you know whether this ski is made of cowhide or sheepskin?" Li Mingyue was not only active by nature, but also couldn't even keep her mouth idle.
Xiaojing can sit quietly all day long. It is really an anomaly for these two people to be active and the other to be quiet, but they can become good sisters who can talk about everything.
"Do you know, do you know?"
After Li Mingyue asked, Xiaojing had to turn her eyes away from the book and said helplessly: "I don't know."
"Haha, let me tell you, the fur of cow and sheep skin is too thin and soft, and it is not easy to use. The snowboard is made of horse skin, and it is the fur on the outside of the adult horse's legs." Li Mingyue finally got the opportunity to be a teacher, turned over a long snowboard and showed it to Xiaojing:
"You see, the hair on this piece of skin grows in one direction. This way, it can reduce the resistance when sliding down, and it can reverse the hair when going uphill, so that it can tightly grasp the snow surface to prevent slipping."
"Oh, it's so awesome." Xiao Jing smiled perfunctorily and said, "Thank you for your advice, I can continue reading."
"What's the best thing about broken books? I can't finish reading it over and over again." Li Mingyue pouted in dissatisfaction: "I regret giving you this book."
"How can you know if you don't read it?" Xiaojing smiled and put down the book, and said with admiration: "The most important thing is that the world cannot be kept. The red face says the mirror and the flowers and the trees. Isn't such a sentence beautiful?"
"It's sour." Although Li Mingyue also felt it was nice, she was not convinced that her best friend valued this broken book more than she did. "It was not written by a good person when she heard it."
"Why didn't it written by a good person?" Xiao Jing was a little anxious and picked up the book. It was the "First Meeting Collection" published by Jinling Bookstore. Her little face was full of seriousness and she quickly argued for the poet: "Look at this poem, 'I advise the God to shake it up and not to restrain one'. It is not a gentleman who cares about the country and the people, he will not write it..."
"Okay, okay." Li Mingyue was not interested in talking about such a humanistic topic. She hurriedly raised her hand to surrender and suggested enthusiastically: "I'm wrong. How about asking you to ski in Xishan tomorrow?"
"Are you apologizing? It's obviously looking for someone to accompany you to ski..." Xiao Jingjiao glanced at her.
"Hehe, it's almost the same." Li Mingyue was seen through and laughed: "There are a few pairs of snowboards sent below. Choose one and I'll help you put the ropes in order to make sure you fit."
Zhang Xiaojing was quite fascinated when she heard this, but then she was relieved and said, "My father won't agree..."
"You just lie to him." Li Mingyue said with a look of course: "I just told my mother that she would go to Nanhaizi to hunt tomorrow. If she said she was going to ski in the mountains, she would not agree."
"I dare not lie to my father..." When talking about his father, Li Mingyue was both admiring and afraid, shook her head and said, "He could tell at a glance that I was lying."
"Oh, poor child." Li Mingyue sighed helplessly: "Then you can 'Zhu Yan Ju Jing Hua Ju Tree' at home, I'll go skiing tomorrow."
Speaking of the second half, she couldn't help but feel excited again.
