Chapter 1741 The Gentle Demeanor of a Mature Woman
Man: "The princess seems to be very interested in this matter?"
"Who said that I am interested? Besides, it is none of your business whether I am interested or not. Just answer my questions." Finally, she added: "This is my order. You are not allowed to fail to answer."
The man seemed to be full. Facing Ai'er's order, he wiped his mouth gracefully with a handkerchief and replied calmly: "I don't know her name. She just came over to tell me that there will be a Cuju competition in three days." , asked me if I wanted to participate.”
"What? There will be a Cuju competition in a few days. How come I didn't know about it?" Aier was a little surprised at first, and then asked the man, "Are you going then?"
Man: "No."
Hearing this, Ai'er held her head high, cleared her throat, coughed a few times, and said to those who were eating barbecue and drinking, "Well... there will be a Cuju competition in three days' time. Someone will go with this princess." ?"
As a majestic princess of the Qing Dynasty, it stands to reason that many men should want to accompany her after saying such a thing.
However, either because those people did not dare to accompany him or because the food was so delicious, the place was completely silent and they pretended not to hear.
Just kidding, if I want to be invited to tea by His Majesty the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor, I can stay with the princess without fear of death.
Probably because the atmosphere was too awkward, the men smiled and explained that they had appointments in three days or had other matters, and politely said a few words of apology.
In addition, several women said they were willing to accompany Ai'er, but Ai'er didn't seem happy.
At this moment, only the maid next to Ai'er knew that her princess wanted someone to go with her, but she couldn't take the initiative to speak.
Sure enough, Ai'er glanced at someone with her peripheral vision and said, "Hey, are you really not going?"
Man: "Yeah."
"Then what if this princess orders you?" Aier asked.
The man frowned slightly, maybe because of impatience or something else, "Then Meng has no choice but to be respectful rather than obey."
Although he agreed, he sounded fearless.
"That's more or less the same." Ai'er said sternly: "A man keeps his word. If you don't go to Cuju in three days, I will tie you up and bring you to the scene!"
She finished speaking with dignity and left with her slave.
However, when she left the pasture and was about to get on the carriage, she remembered that she didn't know where he lived or what his name was. She only knew that his name was Meng.
So she returned to the pasture, but looking around, there was no trace of the man anywhere in the huge pasture.
She had no choice but to take a carriage back to the Old Summer Palace.
In the carriage, the black figure always appeared in Elle's mind.
She felt that this Meng person was not only straightforward but also very calm.
Moreover, since childhood, other men have treated her as a princess.
Only he didn't treat her like a princess, but treated her like a girl.
After returning to the Old Summer Palace, Ai'er entered Wanfang Anhe and saw Banmei and others waiting for her at the door.
"Princess, the empress is waiting for you in the room." Banmei stepped forward.
"Oh." Ai'er walked towards Ruoyin's hall with some guilt.
Although there are many pavilions in the Old Summer Palace, in the ten years since Huang Ama abdicated the throne, Huang Eniang has been living in Wanfang Anhe with Huang Ama.
And she also lives in Wanfang Anhe.
Anyway, Wanfang Anhe is large and has dozens of rooms.
After Ai'er entered the house, she saw Ruoyin sitting in the hall embroidering something.
Ruoyin wore an apricot-colored flag suit, and her hair was combed into two buns with velvet silk flowers and an East Pearl hairpin.
She also wore light makeup on her face, making her look very elegant.
Time has left no trace on her face.
She was just sitting there embroidering, but her temperament, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, was calm and graceful, and she had the gentle demeanor of a mature woman.
Ai'er entered the room and saluted: "The Queen is blessed with good fortune."
Ruoyin looked up and looked Ai'er up and down, "Where did you go to play again and you came back at this time? And what's going on with the green mark on your knee? Come here and show me Look."
These years have been so boring that her embroidery has improved.
Ai'er felt a little guilty, but she still walked up to Ruoyin and said, "It's okay. It's just that I fell a little while playing and it was scratched on the grass."
"Jiju? It's no joke to fall off the horse." Ruoyin put down the embroidery work in his hand, pulled Ai'er over, and lifted up Ai'er's trouser legs.
I saw a small piece of skin on Aier's knee, with a light dark brown layer on it. It must have been medicine.
But she still worriedly ordered her servant, "Banmei, go get the ointment I use to treat the scratches."
Banmei agreed and went to get it.
After a while, Banmei handed a palm-sized blue and white porcelain bottle to Ruoyin.
Ruoyin opened the medicine bottle, and Ai'er moved the small stool, rolled up his trousers and sat in front of her.
While applying medicine to Ai'er, she said, "Why are you so naughty? You don't look like a girl at all."
"..." Aier didn't say anything, just letting Ruoyin lecture her.
Because she knew that Huang'e Niang felt sorry for her and was doing it for her own good.
Ruoyin: "Since your knee injury is like this, it just so happens that you don't go out for the next few days."
"Why? I just had a skin injury, not a muscle or bone injury. Besides, my daughter has already made an appointment with someone and is going to play Cuju in three days." Ai'er said.
Ruoyin gently poked Ai'er's forehead with her fingertips, "You girl, after falling like this, you are still playing Cuju with others, are you so heartless?"
"Mother Huang, I have already made an appointment with someone. Just let me go. I will come back from the appointment in three days. I promise to listen to you and stay in the Old Summer Palace for a while, okay?" Ai'er said coquettishly.
Ruoyin shook her head, "It's not that the Queen doesn't agree with you, but that you have to stay at home."
"What's the matter? Did something happen?" Ai'er heard something was wrong.
Ruoyin: "Today, your imperial brother sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the Khan of the Horqin tribe is ill. The King of Han has a son who is over twenty years old but has not yet been married. This time, the envoys and princes of their tribe Come to us, firstly, to donate some special products, and secondly, for the sake of marriage."
Elle: "Marriage?"
Ruoyin: "Well, the old Khan is probably dying soon. He only has one son. He should hurry up and get his son married. As a prince, his son cannot marry anyone casually. In recent years, Horqin has sent women to the Qing Dynasty. The matter of marriage is broken with your Amana."
"But if this continues for a long time, it is naturally not an option. Therefore, when your imperial brother ascended the throne, marriages were resumed. Not only did they send women to our Central Plains, but the princes, nobles, and royal women of the Central Plains also had to marry with them. I I guess they are targeting you."
"Target me?" Aier asked in confusion: "I'm just an unruly princess. What good will it do to them if I marry them in Mongolia?"
