Chapter 284 Everything is fine
On this day, Su Tang was reading a book at home.
Suddenly, a loud bird song was heard in the yard.
Then a black eagle flew to the window, stood on the window frame and looked into the dim room.
"Come here." Su Tang put down the book and waved towards the window.
This black eagle has been released since Qi Lingheng left for the trip, in order to make it easier for Qi Lingheng to deliver messages.
After all, the black eagle had few natural enemies in ancient times, and it flew very fast, making it very convenient for transmitting messages.
But she didn't expect that Qi Lingheng would use this black eagle to send messages to her in Beijing from time to time.
It seems that there should be no conflict over there, otherwise Qi Lingheng would definitely not be so willful as to use the Black Hawk to send a message to her.
The black hawk grunted a few times, flapped its wings again, flew into the house, and landed on the shelf next to the table.
Su Tang took out a few pieces of chopped rabbit meat from the space and fed them to Black Hawk. Black Hawk's small black eyes rolled around, and he rubbed from the pole to Su Tang's side, picked up the rabbit meat and ate it.
After feeding Black Hawk half a piece of rabbit meat, he was finally full.
Su Tang then wiped her hands with a towel and took the metal pipe down from under Black Hawk's feet.
Inside was a small piece of paper, with only a dozen words written on it when it was unfolded. "Everything is fine with your husband. The army will enter the southern border town tomorrow. I miss you."
Su Tang curled her lips. This man would clearly send messengers to deliver a few letters to the capital every few days, but he still asked Black Hawk to send her a separate copy.
Su Tang put the letter into the space, then stood up and walked to the black eagle, stroking the feathers on its back, "You have been flying for several days, you should go back to the space and have a good rest."
After Su Tang finished speaking, the Black Hawk under his command disappeared and returned to the space.
It is very boring to sit at home all the time. There are many rules for women in ancient times. Even if you are a princess, you can't go wherever you want.
For women, the more noble their status, the more of a shackle it is, preventing them from walking freely outside.
After being in Kyoto for such a long time, Su Tang had long lost interest in the ancient shopping culture, and she herself was not a person who liked shopping.
"Master, the maid from the Empress Dowager's palace is here." Xia Mei's voice came from outside the house.
"Well, what did you say?"
It must be about the jade tablet. Su Tang is still thinking about it. It has been so long, but there is no news from the Queen Mother.
Sure enough, what was supposed to come came.
I just don't know what's so special about this jade pendant. The Queen Mother is not a person who is short of money. Even if the jade pendant is very valuable, it is only worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Besides, the jade pendant is not of very good quality.
Su Tang said to the outside: "Tell the nanny to wait for a moment, I will just do it and go over after I have sorted it out."
"Yes." Xia Mei agreed, and then asked a maid to pass on the message. She took a few maids to fetch water, helped Su Tang wash her hands, and helped Su Tang change her clothes. Then she went out to see the nanny.
"This old servant greets the Grand Princess." The nanny did not show any impatience due to waiting for too long, and greeted Su Tang respectfully.
"Well, the nanny is from the Empress Dowager's palace. How come I haven't seen her before?" Su Tang looked up at the nanny in front of her. The person looked kind, but Su Tang had never seen her after going there several times.
Those who are chosen to deliver messages are usually trusted people who always serve their masters, although Su Tang rarely goes to the Queen Mother.
"I was previously a second-class maid serving the Empress Dowager. She was promoted because the Empress Dowager was short of staff." The maid replied respectfully.
Su Tang nodded. It was probably because the Queen Mother was in a bad mood and punished the nanny around her. It seemed that working around the Queen Mother was also a high-risk job.
"Well, does the Queen Mother have any purpose in asking you to come here?" Su Tang said, feeling the edge of her nails.
Su Tang doesn't like to wear makeup, especially those colored makeup. At most, it is just for skin care. So Su Tang doesn't wear the red makeup that girls in Beijing like to wear.
Her nails were trimmed very smoothly. She had taken care of her hands since she came here, and now her hands were not as dry as before.
"The Queen Mother sent this old servant to summon you to the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then you go back and report. I'll go as soon as the palace gate opens tomorrow morning."
"Yes." The old lady knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and walked out.
Afterwards, a maid sent the nanny away from Prince Qi's mansion.
"Why did the Queen Mother summon you to the palace again? I'll go and find out if there's anything going on in the palace." Chunmei said from the side.
"Yeah." Su Tang nodded in agreement.
Before dinner, Chunmei returned to Prince Qi's mansion.
"Master, there will be no special activities in the palace tomorrow, and I haven't heard that the Queen Mother has summoned anyone else to the palace." Chunmei said as she helped Su Tang tidy up the dressing table.
"Well, never mind her. We'll know what she's going to do when we enter the palace." Su Tang gathered her long hair in front of her chest and twisted it around her fingers.
This body's hair has never been cut, but there are no split ends at the hair. Although Su Tang also uses modern shampoo to wash her hair after traveling through time, the quality of her hair has not deteriorated at all.
Day two.
Su Tang had just arrived at the palace gate, but unexpectedly met the second prince whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Second brother." Su Tang bowed and said.
"Well, I happen to be going to see father today to discuss matters concerning the southern border. If I finish my work here first, I'll wait for you outside the Empress Dowager's palace." The second prince said with a loving look in his eyes.
"Okay." Su Tang agreed with a smile.
The two entered the palace side by side. The eunuch who was waiting for Su Tang at the palace gate was obviously stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes slightly to glance at the Second Prince, then quickly retracted his gaze, knelt down and saluted, saying: "This servant greets the Second Prince."
"Well, which palace are you from?"
"I am Xiao Dezi from the Empress Dowager's palace. I am here to welcome the Grand Princess on the orders of the Empress Dowager." Xiao Dezi replied in a low voice.
The second prince glanced at the surroundings and said in a deep voice: "Since you are here to pick someone up according to the imperial decree, why didn't you prepare a sedan chair for the princess in advance?!"
"This...slave, slave..." Xiao Dezi's body was shaking like a sieve.
Because the nobles in the palace lived far away from the palace gate, the nobles summoned into the palace had to take sedan chairs to the main hall at the back.
Naturally, sedan chairs were prepared at the palace gate for people entering the palace.
But those sedan chairs were only prepared for ordinary officials and their families. Princes and princesses like Su Tang who had already left the palace and set up their own residences all had special sedan chairs.
Besides, the Empress Dowager had notified Su Tang before she entered the palace yesterday.
There is no reason not to be prepared.
Therefore, Xiao Dezi, who was kneeling on the ground, could not make up any excuse.
"Humph! It seems like you are used to being lazy in the palace!
Come, take this slave out and beat him to death as a warning to others! ! "
As soon as the second prince finished speaking angrily, the guards at the palace gate stepped forward, picked up the little eunuch who had collapsed with fear, and walked out.
"Second, Second Prince, spare my life! Princess..."
Soon, Xiao Dezi's cries could no longer be heard. It must be that the guards knocked the young eunuch unconscious.
