Chapter 22 may be a chess game
Ruan Jingxin looked at Ruan Jinghe a little stunned, could it be that this lamb, who had always been submissive, had also begun to wake up?
Ruan Jinghe suddenly turned around, "Fourth sister, I'm going to change clothes, can you do it yourself for a while?"
Ruan Jingxin nodded, "Big sister, let's go, I'll just watch it lively here." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "She doesn't have the slightest idea of wanting to be in the limelight, even if she doesn't have to hide it in a low-key way for so many years in this life, but she still doesn't need this kind of thing that obviously wins the eyes of the opposite sex.
"Second Miss and Third Miss are on stage!" Seocho's exclamation attracted Ruan Jingxin's attention. From a distance, she should have guessed the lantern riddle to win the lantern. Ruan Jingxin slightly hooked the corners of her lips, whether it is the prince and grandson, or the daughter of the family, do they like to be famous in this way? Even the people who were supposed to be attending the palace banquet were here.
"Huh, why did the eldest lady go up too?"
Ruan Jingxin showed a smile that was really like this, "I guess I saw the excitement, so I went." ”
Because it was a personal battle, the three young ladies of the Ruan family did not seem very close. There were about 20 people standing on the platform, the brothers and sisters of the Ding family of the county mansion, the second son of the Liguo mansion, the third lady and the second young master of the Zhongshu Shilang family, the little son of the prime minister's mansion, etc., all of whom were counted in the capital. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the royal princes and nobles headed by the crown prince.
The crown prince Dongfang Yongyue, 20 years old this year, is the eldest son of the emperor and empress, and his maternal grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty. The second prince, Dongfang Huayuan, and his mother, Rong Gui Concubine Ding, were born in the county mansion and were 17 years old. The third prince, Dongfang Zihao, was 16 years old, and his mother, Jin, was a noble concubine and was born in the Lijing Waiting Mansion. The fourth prince, Dongfang Youkang, is only 12 years old, and his mother is a concubine, who is not high, but she is quite liked by the emperor.
These four are here tonight, and I'm afraid that the thoughts of all the girls are here. I just don't know who they're aiming at.
The crown prince has married a wife and concubine, the crown princess is the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei General's Mansion Fu Shi, and the side concubine is the granddaughter of Gao Jing, the head of the household department. It can be said that you want money and money, and you need soldiers and soldiers, and the ground is solid. is not a particularly favored concubine, if she can be a side concubine, she is also willing. After all, the identity will be different in the future.
The second prince, Dongfang Huayuan, has been married, and the concubine is his cousin Ding Meiqian. His identity is there, and the average lady of the family will not marry to be a side concubine easily. Besides, the third prince doesn't have a wife and concubine, which is a good target. The four princes are too young to be considered.
Ruan Jingxin tugged at the corners of her lips, Dongfang Yuanhua's situation seemed to be very embarrassing. didn't use his marriage to rely on a useful Yue family, and he had to endure a fiancée who was difficult to handle.
Because Ding Meiqian has not yet reached the wedding, she will have to wait for a year or two for the marriage. Because she couldn't meet easily when she was engaged, she deliberately took advantage of this most tolerant opportunity to run out to meet her fiancé.
"The eldest lady is hidden on weekdays!" Seocho looked outside with wide eyes and sighed to Ruan Jingxin.
Ruan Jingxin came back to her senses, and the people on the platform shuttled under the rows of lanterns, and under each lantern hung a wooden sign engraved with a lantern riddle. As long as you guess the lantern riddle, you can remove the wooden card. After half an hour, everyone took the wooden sign and went to the steward's office to answer the question, and the one who answered the most correctly was the leader of the day.
Ruan Jinghe was not dressed brightly today, but she became the most conspicuous one among a group of young ladies dressed in festive clothes. She was so fast that she took off her wooden cards almost every time she looked at them. If you don't know how to meet it, you won't deliberately stop to think about it, but give up decisively and move on to the next one.
It seems that everyone has hole cards, even Ruan Jinghe, who has no sense of existence. No one thought that she would be very good at guessing puzzles. In this life, because of their own changes, more differences will follow.
The man's side is not very enthusiastic, after all, the prince is here, and no one wants to steal the limelight, so they are more or less behind the prince. This reminded Ruan Jingxin of the sentence 'reading with the prince', and she suddenly laughed so much that she couldn't do it.
"Miss, what are you laughing at?" Seocho looked at her master in confusion.
"I'm happy to see my big sister winning the championship. An inexplicable light flashed in Ruan Jingxin's eyes, she must let Dongfang Huayuan look at that position, but she will not get it for the rest of her life. Didn't Ruan Jingya treat this big sister as a stepping stone? Didn't she look down on her? She wanted to help Ruan Jinghe ascend to a high position! Let Ruan Jingya kneel at her feet and grit her teeth.
Don't worry, don't worry, Ruan Jingxin took a deep breath, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, everything has just begun.
Seeing that the game was coming to an end, Ruan Jingxin got up and slowly walked to the window. Sure enough, Ruan Jinghe lost to the prince by one card.
The prince looked at the somewhat shy woman and was not impressed, but the wooden cards that the two of them exchanged together knew that she had deliberately answered a question incorrectly.
"Thank you, girl. "There are no ugly women in the royal family, and neither are men. The prince's appearance is not bad, and he has the temperament of a superior person, this polite appearance, I don't know how many women have been stunned.
Ruan Jinghe's cheeks were slightly red, adding a bit of coquettishness to her already elegant face, "Your Highness is polite, Jinghe is convinced." ”
The shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building stepped forward to congratulate, "Congratulations to Your Highness, the little one will order someone to fetch the lamp." ”
"No need. The prince waved his hand, "This is what I want to give to my daughter, and I need to be a little sincere." With that, he walked under the elevated road, and as soon as he lifted his breath and exerted force under his feet, he rose to his feet.
Naturally, there was a sound of praise around, and the words of 'the prince's civil and military skills' were endless.
Ruan Jinghe's eyes were full of brilliance, and her eyes kept following the figure of the prince. But I don't know when there were two more people around.
"Big sister's mind is not small, don't you look in the mirror on weekdays?" Ruan Jingya was never polite to Ruan Jinghe, laughing at her for not knowing her identity,
Ruan Jinghe instantly burst into tears, "Third sister, I'm ...... I just couldn't help but join in the fun...... Sorry ......"
When the prince landed, he saw a beautiful woman crying. He frowned, after all, the person who was still talking to him just now, as soon as he turned around, he was really a little unhappy to be bullied. So he took a few steps this way and asked, "Is the girl okay? In the future, the girl will be able to get it back. ”
The second prince has been playing Miss Wallflower tonight, with a depressed expression, and he also ignores Ding Meiqian. Now seeing that the prince is defending a concubine, his mind suddenly turns.
The crown prince should have a concubine, two concubines, and four concubines. The status of concubines is not high, and the daughters of officials below the third rank can do it. The side concubines are different, and the nobles of the family will also be tempted. The crown prince's position is already solid enough, and he can't be given any more opportunities to gain connections. This little concubine, if she is a little more aggressive, maybe she is a good chess piece......
