Chapter Ninety-Two: The Unclear Situation
The old princess dotingly knocked on the forehead of Jing Yu, who was wrapped around her like a koala, and said with a smile: "You don't look like a famous lady at all, see who dares to marry you in the future." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" just changed hands, but he also reached out and took the sandalwood box handed by Jing Yu.
The deep reddish-brown color, the wooden box is simple and there is not even a trace of carving, which is really not like Jing Yu's usual style. Thinking about Jing Yu's hurried appearance today, and the time it takes her to go back and forth now, the old princess knows it in her heart. Secretly glanced at the many spectators around him, rolled his eyes, and said.
"Sure enough, Jing Yu is filial, and he went outside so sincerely to invite such a baby, but it's a pity that you didn't see the wonderful scene just now. He shook his head and sighed.
Originally, Jing Yu heard her mother praise her so much, but when she heard that there was a good show that she missed, she was immediately diverted, and asked with bright eyes: "Really! Didn't you say that the play sent by the palace will start before the middle of the day?"
The old princess smiled: "Silly girl, it is our own troupe that comes to the stage, so naturally you can do it at any time." ”
"Great, I'm going to go and ask them to play it for me again. He turned around and looked at the sky again, and said, "It's still early at this time, and I'll go to my mother's place to see the palace after I finish reading my house." Before he could finish speaking, the man had already walked five or six steps quickly.
The old princess couldn't hold her breath when she saw her daughter like this, although she took advantage of her own heart, she couldn't help but be angry and funny. But after thinking about it, it's good that she has such a temperament, otherwise I don't know what the palace life will be like all these years.
At that moment, he raised his voice slightly, and instructed Jing Yu in the distance: "Go to my house and call your sister Jing Wen, she can keep asking you after she comes." ”
"Oh, got it. Jing Yu almost didn't look back and went straight to the princess's bedroom in the other direction, for fear that he would be a little late, and after watching his own house, he would be delayed to see the drama troupe sent by the palace.
The old princess shook her head when she saw it, thinking that this girl is almost in the palace all year round, and this royal troupe is a common thing, why is she still so obsessed. It can be seen that he is a drama idiot, but even though he thinks so, the corners of his mouth can't suppress the doting smile.
On the other side, he raised his hand to call Zirui, who was standing aside, handed over the sandalwood box in his hand, and said, "Go and order, set up a banquet in Changchun Garden." ”
After that, he turned his head to Mrs. Li Shilang beside him and smiled: "I'm afraid it's been blown through the wind when I've stood all these times, let's go to Woyun Pavilion to sit first." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took Mrs. Li's hand.
Although everyone around them was chatting about each other, but their eyes never really left the center of the old princess, and when they heard that they were going to Woyun Pavilion, they seemed to be gearing up again, because of such an open verandah, the only people who could surround the old princess were called by the old princess, just like Mrs. Li Shilang, who was now led by the old princess. It's just that if you can enter the house, you will naturally be able to talk to the old princess, and the chance will not only increase by a star and a half.
The old princess and Mrs. Li walked first, and everyone followed behind at a distance.
"Hey, Jing Yu is spoiled by me. As she walked, the old princess seemed to sigh, and said as if chatting with Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li did not hesitate, and quickly responded gently: "Where, the daughter is naturally more popular with her parents, and the little girl is like this." ”
The old princess was noncommittal, but just tightened Mrs. Li's hand in her hand.
After coming to Woyun Pavilion, Zi Rui had already prepared all the affairs, and at this moment he welcomed the old princess to sit on the top, and led Mrs. Li to the side to sit down in the closest position to the old princess, and then went back to the old princess to serve.
Just as the other people in the hall were being guided by the maid to take their seats, the old princess beckoned Zi Rui to come over. After giving some instructions, Zirui quietly left the hall.
In a moment, it was His Royal Highness the King of Huaiyang who entered with Zirui, and the moment the prior announcement sounded, all the ladies and ladies didn't seem to expect that the prince would appear here, and the young ladies who had not left the cabinet seemed to be ashamed and happy, and they didn't know what to do.
The old princess seemed to be prepared, and with a wave of her hand, the servants on both sides brought six brocade screens to block in front of everyone on both sides, leaving only Mrs. Li and herself on the main seat. At this time, everyone looked at Mrs. Li, who was left by the old princess in public, and they didn't know whether they were angry or jealous, and they had the feeling of gritting their teeth for a while.
When Mrs. Li heard that the king of Huaiyang was coming, she got up and left the table, but she had to sit back at the express request of the old princess. When the King of Huaiyang saluted the old princess, Mrs. Li saluted the prince according to normal etiquette, but she didn't expect to be returned by the King of Huaiyang, and she was very surprised.
Feeling the hot gaze on her body at this moment, Mrs. Li shook her head and laughed at herself, she still couldn't get used to the things she didn't adapt to.
The king of Huaiyang looked like he should have been, sat on the chair that the servant had brought and placed under the old princess, and said, "I don't know why the mother called the child here?" looked at his mother with a frank expression.
When the old princess saw Jing Xi coming alone, she knew that her abacus was afraid that it would fail, but she didn't care too much, rolled her eyes and said, "It's not a big deal." But after listening to the play in Changchun Garden for a while, I rarely came to Jingshi, and the Queen Mother specially arranged this opera troupe to rehearse for me, so you can accompany me to see it if you have nothing to do in a while. ”
Jing Xi still smiled gently: "Okay, the child listens to his mother." ”
In fact, according to the instructions of the old princess, if Jing Xi fell in love with Li Jin, he would need to bring the girl to this hall at this moment, which can be regarded as making the heart of King Huaiyang public, although he knew that Li Jin had a marriage contract with the emperor's order, but such a move was also good for the Huaiyang Palace, and it seemed that his son had other plans at this time.
The old princess seemed to have expected it, not only was she not surprised, but calmly introduced Li Jin's mother and said, "This is the wife of Li Shilang of the Ministry of Works." ”
Wang Jingxi of Huaiyang got up and sat down after saluting Mrs. Li with the etiquette of the elders: "I have heard the name of Li Shilang for a long time, and Mrs. Li is even more famous for having both ability and political integrity, and is well educated, otherwise how can she get a talented woman like Miss Li?"
Mrs. Li was a little confused at this time, I don't know why she was so abnormal today, the last time she came to visit the old princess of Huaiyang, the other party still looked condescending, at this time not only introduced herself so grandly, but also after she made it clear that she refused to trade on the spot, not only did not anger the princess, but received more courtesy.
Not to mention the attitude of the old princess, even the attitude of the king of Huaiyang is strange. The dignified prince performed the junior salute to himself, although Mrs. Li was indeed worthy of this ceremony in terms of age and seniority, but in the current rank, this was almost impossible.
Thinking of the time when her daughter was alone with the old princess in the house, I don't know if it was because of some agreement that she didn't know at that time, Mrs. Li became more and more panicked in her heart.
At this time, hearing the prince praise her family, Mrs. Li was not happy, but only felt the cold air emanating from the middle of her back, and reluctantly smiled: "The prince praised it falsely, the little girl is just a small family jasper, and it is difficult to compare with the famous ladies." ”
After that, the three of them turned to other matters, and in a moment the steward of Changchun Garden went back and forth to say that everything was ready, and the old princess took her son's hand and got up and led everyone to the banquet place.
Mrs. Li was supported by the old princess's personal maid Zirui, and this kind of treatment made Mrs. Li even more worried, although she had been told that Li Jin was in the back garden at this time, composing poems for the old princess, but Mrs. Li couldn't wait to see Li Jin with her own eyes now.
