Chapter 239: Annoying Sea Holly
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw that the open space next to the gate was full of all kinds of carriages, which were extremely luxurious. After all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has the imperial court money no matter how big or small, if he doesn't even have a decent carriage, then he can't talk about it. And a birthday banquet like the Queen Mother is nothing more than the ladies of each province comparing each other with which girl's clothes and accessories are good-looking, which girl's head is the latest, which girl's wrist bracelet comes from which famous family, etc., if you don't even understand this, then there is really no need to come to such a grand banquet.
The ladies and ladies got out of the carriage, and because there were too many people, they all crowded in front of the gate of the imperial city, and even lined up to enter the palace.
Of course, after all, it is the ladies and nobles, and this team seems a little lazy and slack. The ladies all stood next to them and chatted, and the ladies also chatted on the other side, and the people in line later became the maids and daughters of each province.
The old lady was soon pulled to the other side by her peers in other mansions to chat, and Cuihuan and the old lady's mother Du went to the queue again, leaving the second lady alone to be bored and panicked, and was about to take a turn around, when she heard a call from behind.
"Yo, who is this, why did you come to the gate of the palace alone?"
The second lady turned her head to look and saw that it was He Ronglan, the third lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites. This person was once friendly with Miss Zhao Jiu of the former Shuntian Mansion Yin, and later Miss Zhao Jiu was forced to marry the old ship leader because of the overboard. He Ronglan, who is Miss Zhao Jiu's good sister, has always been indignant about this matter, and she later deduced. Miss Zhao Jiu has just entered Beijing, and she shouldn't have any enemies, if she really wants to find out the people who have had a holiday with her. That is the Yuanning Marquis Mansion.
So, while sympathizing with her sisters' plight, she also hated the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, and always wanted to find an opportunity to ridicule and vent her anger for her sisters.
Today, she finally got her chance.
Of course, the second miss didn't understand the twists and turns, and she didn't know that so many things had happened between Gu Zhirong and Miss Zhao Jiu. She only knew that Miss Zhao Jiu was uneasy and kind, and the last banquet in the Zhaomin Mansion was made bad by Miss Zhao Jiu, so she didn't have a good impression of Miss Zhao Jiu. I don't have a good impression of her good sisters. So, she glanced at He Ronglan coldly, and planned to walk away on her own and not take care of this boring person.
But He Ronglan seems to be eyeing the second lady. Wouldn't let her go so easily.
He Ronglan winked. Soon, several young ladies from various prefectures came up and surrounded the second young lady in the middle.
He Ronglan looked at the second lady mockingly and said, "Your eyes are about to widen, this is the future crown princess, and she may still be the future queen mother." However, since everyone knows that there will be a crown princess in your Yuanning Marquis Mansion, you should also be humble, don't you say that it is better to choose one of the two, what. In order to steal the limelight, you still don't allow your fourth sister to attend this banquet?"
The few people who came up next to him. They all covered their mouths and laughed, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.
The second lady only felt that her lungs were about to explode, this group of people was simply unreasonable, she held back her anger and said coldly: "My fourth sister is ill and can't attend, if you care about her, you might as well come to the house to visit after the banquet, the fourth sister will definitely be very grateful to you." ”
He Ronglan snorted coldly and said, "What you said is really strange, why did your fourth sister get sick for no reason? When I saw her some time ago, wasn't she okay......?
Speaking of this, He Ronglan's eyes swept over several official ladies beside her, "Moreover, I also heard that the second lady of your Yuanning Hou Mansion is very good at managing the housekeeper, why did you change people all of a sudden?
The people next to him looked at the second lady with a look of disdain.
Cracking down on the second room and removing all obstacles on his daughter's way to the crown princess is too obvious, right?
The second lady was anxious and angry, things were not like this at all. But what could she say? The second lady's illness was not caused by her own mother, but who could say that her own mother had nothing to do with the second lady's illness?
She is upright by nature, not as black as the fourth lady, who can speak white, knowing that these people clearly look at her jokes, but they can't say a word of rebuttal.
"I said yes, I have nothing to say, right?" He Ronglan looked at the second miss proudly. She didn't expect that this second lady of the Yuanning Hou Mansion would be so easy to bully, she only said a few words, and the other party was already speechless and bowed his head to admit defeat.
A few people next to him, one of them was Zhang Bailing, the eleventh lady of Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, seeing the second lady like this, thinking that even if the mother was at fault, if the daughter was talking about her mother's fault outside, it would be a big unfilial piety. So she pulled He Ronglan and said in a low voice: "Okay, you just say a few words, other people's family affairs, you are an outsider, what do you care about so much?"
He Ronglan was still unsatisfied, thinking about mocking the second lady a few more words, so that she couldn't raise her head in front of people. As soon as she opened her mouth, a sea holly flew out of nowhere, and it swooped straight down at her, and its sharp mouth pecked at her.
He Ronglan froze for a moment, forgetting to react, and the huge eagle arrived in front of her in an instant, as if it was about to peck her eyes.
Zhang Bailing, who had just persuaded her, saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly pulled her and shouted, "Run!"
Suddenly, the people who gathered around ran away.
It's strange to say, this sea holly who doesn't know where to fight, it ignores other people, but it seems to have a grudge against He Ronglan, and chases her closely. She fled to the east, and it pursued to the east, and she fled to the west, and it followed the west. She screamed in fright, her sideburns were scattered, and she fell several times. It's just raining in the past few days, and the ground is still a little wet. He Ronglan fell to the ground, her face and body were covered with mud, not to mention how embarrassed she was.
The crowd waiting at the gate of the Imperial City all stared wide-eyed, stunned to see this Miss He being chased by an eagle and running around, falling and getting up and falling again, which was very funny. Everyone was still stunned before, but then I don't know who laughed first, and then the audience began to laugh, and even the guards of the small detachment guarding the city gate couldn't stand up with laughter.
He Ronglan made a fool of herself in public, embarrassed and angry, no matter what she did, she couldn't get rid of the annoying eagle, so she simply sat down on the ground and cried "wow, wow, wow".
The sea holly seemed to be frightened, and circled twice over the head of Miss He, who was crying, and flew away with a "whoosh" and disappeared into the distance.
As soon as He Ronglan's mother came over, she heard that something had happened to her daughter. She hurried into the crowd and saw her daughter sitting on the ground like a splash, crying very loudly. Her face couldn't help but flush, she didn't expect that the daughter she taught would be like this, she was angry and anxious at the moment, she walked over, waved her hand and slapped her daughter, and scolded: "Useless things, shameful." ”
beckoned Mrs. Yahuan to come over, and immediately dragged He Ronglan away. (To be continued......)
