Chapter 154 Princess's Clothing
The queen could see that the little girl understood what she said, and nodded with a smile. This child looked innocent and cute, but in fact, she was pure in heart and very smart.
The queen saw Xin He's unhappy look and knew that the child was sad for her. Sad? She just told the emperor about letting the saint enter the palace, and she seemed to be a little sad.
However, I had endured so many sad times in this palace. At this moment, my heart was as calm as water, and I had to worry about the children's affairs. How could I have time to feel sad?
The queen looked at Xin He with some regret in her heart. Such an innocent and kind child, she really wanted to keep her by her side, to accompany her, that would definitely be a very happy day.
However, she couldn't be so selfish. Ever since she saw the little girl looking at the blue sky above the palace with sparkling eyes and vowing that she would become a female general to protect the emperor and the queen, the queen knew that the child was not suitable for the palace.
I can't let this child be trapped in the palace walls just because of my own selfishness. The queen was also sad to reject the prince, but the prince had been trained by the emperor as the future heir since he was a child, and the queen didn't want Xinhe to enter the palace to experience her future husband being surrounded by beautiful women.
The Queen sincerely hopes that Xin He can live freely like the birds flying freely in the sky. She will not restrict her. The Queen believes that Lord Qin loves his daughter and will not restrict Xin He.
Seeing that the little girl was not happy, the queen smiled and nodded to Ziqi. Ziqi understood and went out. After a while, she walked into the queen and Xinhe holding a palace dress and looked at Xinhe with a smile.
Xin He looked at the Queen in a daze: "My Queen, is this the new dress you made? It's so beautiful!" It was obviously a very rare Shu brocade, shining and gorgeous. But the color was a little bright.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "How could I dare to wear such a bright color outside? This is the princess dress made for you." "Ah! It's made for me! The palace has sent us special princess dresses!" Xinhe was a little confused.
Zi Qi smiled, stepped forward and held the clothes to Xin He: "Princess, this is the princess's dress that the Queen specially ordered the Clothing Bureau to make for you. It is different from other clothes."
The Queen continued, "Yes, on the day of the palace banquet, all the noble ladies in the capital came to the banquet. There was also the Princess of Nanjiang. Our Princess Anyi must not be overshadowed by them. Our Anyi must be the most beautiful one at the banquet."
Xin He was so moved that she was at a loss for words: "Your Majesty, you know, I...I don't care about this. I rarely wear the princess's clothing sent by the palace."
The queen smiled and said, "You don't care, but I do. It's because you don't treat yourself as a princess that those people criticize you behind your back. I want everyone to know that you are my princess Anyi, and no one can bully you."
"Your Majesty, you are so good to Xin'er. I am about to cry! Your Majesty, you are the best queen in the world!" Xinhe threw herself into the arms of the queen and acted coquettishly.
The Queen and Ziqi laughed together. Since the little girl grew up, she rarely rolled around in her arms and acted like a spoiled child. The Queen pinched Xinhe's chubby cheeks and said, "Okay, I am the best queen in the world, and Xin'er is the best Xin'er in the world. Come on, put it on and let me see if it looks good on you."
Ziqi helped Xinhe put on the clothes. It was indeed the world-famous Shu brocade. Although the color was bright, it did not look frivolous at all when worn on the body.
Although the girl still has some baby fat, she is tall and has an upright posture due to her martial arts training. The clothes she wears make her look dignified and elegant.
The Queen smiled and nodded: "My Princess Anyi is indeed beautiful. This dress is also well made. Let the embroiderer in the clothing department show it to her."
Xin He was a little shy when the Queen praised her. She pinched the corner of her clothes and complained about the dress in a low voice: "It looks good, but this dress makes it difficult for Xin Er to draw her bow and shoot arrows. She can't even walk fast!"
Zi Qi, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Oh, my princess, please forgive me! Who would wear such beautiful clothes and shoot arrows with a bow?"
The queen was also amused by Xin He and laughed out loud. She tapped Xin He's forehead with her finger and said, "You are being weird again! Well, go now. It's too late. I won't keep you here. Hurry and take your archery clothes home."
The three of them laughed together again. Ziqi helped Xinhe change her clothes, and sent a maid to carry the clothes and a few pieces of jewelry given by the empress to go out of the palace with Xinhe.
Xinhe said goodbye to the empress and walked towards the palace gate with the little palace maid. As soon as she walked out of Kunning Palace, she saw Yu Shen standing under a big tree.
Xin He was stunned and stopped. Yu Shen saw Xin He coming out, walked up to her, took the things from the little palace maid, and said to Xin He: "Master just finished discussing things with the emperor and left the palace to go home. I told Master that I will wait for you here and take you back together."
Because Lord Yu has been guarding the border for some time recently, Yu Shen is not close to the old lady at home. Instead, he often lives and eats with Qin Mingxuan in the Qin Mansion. Qin Mingxuan also teaches Yu Shen many things about court affairs.
Xin He nodded, turned around to thank the little palace maid, and asked her to go back and report. She followed Yu Shen to the palace gate.
The two walked side by side along the long palace wall, but no one spoke. Xinhe looked at the high palace wall and thought of what the queen had just said. The depression in her heart rose up again. She felt that staying under this palace wall made her feel very depressed.
Only then did she realize how rare it was that the Queen rejected the Prince's intentions on her behalf. Although the Prince had always been very kind to her, she really didn't like this palace surrounded by palace walls.
Suddenly Yu Shen's voice rang out: "Xin'er sister, I heard that the prince wants to..." Xin He interrupted Yu Shen's words: "I only regard the prince as my brother, and I don't like this palace. I...I want to be a general."
Yu Shen thought of what the Third Prince had said just now. The Third Prince said that he and Xin He would go to the border to serve as generals. Yu Shen felt a little uncomfortable.
Yu Shen knew that the Queen had rejected the Prince's proposal, and Lord Qin had also made his feelings clear to the Emperor that the Qin family would not send their daughter into the palace.
But if Xinhe really wants to go to the border to be a general, Yu Shen feels that although the Queen and Lord Qin will feel sorry for Xinhe, they will definitely not stop Xinhe.
But thinking of Xin He going to the border and getting farther and farther away from him, Yu Shen felt sad. Yu Shen didn't dare to guess what Xin He was thinking, nor did he dare to ask more questions.
He always felt that once he and Xinhe opened up about their past and present lives, the friendship between him and Xinhe would be severed forever.
It's good to just watch over Xinhe from afar, no matter what she thinks, no matter what the reason is for the estrangement in her heart towards me, as long as she is in front of me, it's good, even if she is no longer as close to me as before.
