128 Flower Party Invitations
He Lin scratched her ears when she heard this, and said embarrassedly: "If I dare to mention it to my sister-in-law...... I won't come to the eldest brother to arrange it from it. β
He has always had an inexplicable 'awe' for Feng Jiwen.
Of course, most of it is fear.
"Your sister-in-law is not a jackal, tiger and leopard, why don't you dare to say it. He Shen was standing in front of the bookshelf to sort out the books, and He Lin said with a smile: "Today I still have something to go to the Internal Affairs Office to find my father-in-law, and I am a little worried about your sister-in-law going out alone, so it's better for you to follow around - you go back and prepare, I will discuss with your sister-in-law later and discuss taking you out together." β
He Lin was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately slammed her chest, saying that she would ensure the safety of her sister-in-law.
When He Shen came over to discuss with Feng Jiwen, Feng Jiwen was sitting in front of the dresser and asked Xiaoxian to check her appearance, and she was ready to go out.
Hearing that He Shenyan and Lin wanted to go out with him, Feng Jiwen didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.
It doesn't hurt to have more than one person.
In addition, Shu Zhi and He Lin are very compatible, and it is excellent for the two of them to be companions, and it saves no one to speak.
Seeing that she nodded without hesitation for a moment, so that she couldn't say anything like 'I'm not worried about her going out alone', and He Shen couldn't help laughing.
Feng Jiwen looked at him through the reflection in the dressing mirror, and asked inexplicably, "What are you laughing at?"
Good and decent.
He Shen shook his head slightly, and also looked at her from the dressing mirror, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I just think that the color of today's skirt is very flattering to Mrs. β
Feng Jiwen subconsciously looked down at the clothes on her body.
Since she got married, it seems that what she wears and what she wears, this person will praise her for looking good when she sees it.
But she barely believed it.
Because of this person's sleek and polite Cheng dΓΉ, she often staggered.
For example, the last time I went back to Yinglian Mansion, the maid who made the tea mistakenly took the moldy tea leaves that should have been thrown away, and this person took a bite and realized that it was wrong, so he could swallow it without changing his face, and implicitly said in a praising tone, "This tea tastes very strange......
β¦β¦
After Feng Jiwen met with Ziyun and Feng Shuzhi, they went out of the city together and went to Jingyun Nunnery to find the concubine.
Feng Shuzhi looked extremely happy today. Because his grandfather allowed him to ride out on horseback.
He Lin didn't have a horse of his own, and when he saw that Feng Shuzhi could ride across the street, but he was huddled with the coachman and sat in the driver's seat, he couldn't help but feel particularly envious.
Seeing this, Feng Shuzhi used his poor riding skills as an excuse. wanted to give the horse to He Lin to ride, but He Lin took his poor riding skills seriously, and actually took this opportunity to teach him some of the skills he learned from his brother - so the moment Feng Jiwen lifted the curtain and looked out, the two of them rode together. Feng Shuzhi was held in his arms by the tall and Lin.
This picture made Feng Jiwen can't help but make up a lot of brains.
Deeply ashamed, she had to silently recite the defilement mantra in her heart more than a dozen times.
Ziyun on the opposite side was sitting cross-legged and eating melon seeds without an image, and when he saw Feng Jiwen put down the curtain and turned around, he said casually: "Next month's peony flower meeting, I don't know who received the invitation, I'm busy inquiring about it these days, to see if I can follow someone to rub it over." β
Feng Jiwen was stunned when she heard this, and then asked, "Peony Flower Meeting?" Are you talking about the Peony Flower Festival set up by Eighth Elder Brother and Princess Hejing in Shuchun Garden next month?"
Ziyun nodded, and put the melon seeds back into the plum blossom plate with some dejection, "I want to go over." I couldn't take the invitation. I asked around among my acquaintances, but I couldn't find out who had received it. β
The person who receives the invitation can bring one person with him.
This peony flower party, hosted by the elder brother and princess in the palace, has been hard to find over the years.
Feng Jiwen didn't know this before.
Therefore, she looked at Ziyun in surprise and asked, "You didn't receive the invitation?"
Ziyun sighed and said: "Our family is just an idle clan that eats white grain, and Ama didn't do anything in the previous dynasty, so I can't get into the eyes of the masters in the palace, and of course it's normal that I can't accept invitations." β
The so-called peony flower meeting is actually just a means for the royal family to win over the families of the children of powerful and important ministers.
"Then how did I receive it?" Feng Jiwen asked in amazement.
She was really asking.
Ziyun, as a serious sect daughter, Gege, couldn't accept the invitation, so in what capacity did she receive it, her husband's poor family and his wife, who had nothing to do with the court at all?
"What did you say?" Ziyun looked dazed.
"Three days ago. I received an invitation to the Peony Flower Society. β
"What are you talking about!" Ziyun repeated in disbelief, but his tone was very different.
"Did you really receive it?" she confirmed with a shocked face: "You can't be mistaken, right? The peonies will bloom just right next month, and there are not a few flower parties held in various parts of the capital, are you confused?"
Feng Jiwen was so amused by her exaggerated expression that she couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be, the invitation card is stamped with the seal of Yuqing Palace-"
Yuqing Palace is now the residence of Princess Hejing.
Ziyun heard this, although he was still shocked, but he believed it.
There will be more than one peony flower, but the seal of Yuqing Palace will not be confused.
Ziyun's face slowly changed from shock to surprise.
She didn't care to delve into how Feng Jiwen was invited to participate in this peony flower party. He grabbed her hand, and said with a pair of big round black eyes shining, "Then you will take me with you then, okay?"
She had been waiting for an invitation a month ago.
As expected, I couldn't wait, so I pinned my hopes on participating in this method with the person who received the invitation.
"The flower party is located in the royal Shuchun Garden, and it is held by the princesses of the elder brother. Didn't you say that the people in the palace have a lot of rules, and they never like to get too close to them?" Feng Jiwen didn't rush to agree or refuse, but was puzzled by Ziyun's overzealous attitude.
As soon as she said this, Ziyun's cheeks turned red.
Feng Jiwen took a look at it, and she was even more sure that there must be something greasy in it.
Ziyun knew that he couldn't fool Feng Jiwen, so he didn't hide it from her, only lowered his head and said a little uncomfortably: "...... Liu Gongzi will pass every year. β
As far as the status of the Liu family in the court is concerned, it is normal for Liu Kaizhi to be invited every year.
Feng Jiwen smiled and sighed when she heard this.
It turned out to be because of this Liu Gongzi.
"Don't worry, I didn't think about doing anything out of the ordinary, I just wanted to meet him!" Ziyun promised and said with a sad face: "It's hard to see him in the past day, and I don't dare to ask him out without permission in private." Only by taking this opportunity to see each other from afar......"
She also knew Feng Jiwen's worries about herself, and she didn't want to see her daughter's reputation damaged because of these feelings.
But she couldn't help it.
But now she didn't have any more daydreams about marrying him, and she was content to see him once in a while.
She said this. Feng Jiwen is trustworthy.
These days, although Ziyun will mention Liu Kaizhi in front of her from time to time, she has never made any radical moves because of this.
Although she had never experienced the budding of this kind of girl's pregnancy, and she did not agree with Ziyun's influence on her reputation due to her emotions, she never had the reason to influence her too much. Moreover, it is not a remarkable thing to meet openly at the flower party, and after thinking back and forth for a while, he said: "Then I will give you the invitation card when I go back, and you can go for me." β
She didn't know about the rare invitation of this peony flower meeting from the beginning, so she didn't plan to go to this appointment.
"Really?" Ziyun was overjoyed, and couldn't help but hold Feng Jiwen's hand tighter again, and then asked again, "Aren't you going?"
Feng Jiwen shook her head and said with a smile: "I won't go." β
You can enjoy peonies anywhere, there is no need to go to Shuchun Garden.
There are a few in her backyard. It is said that it was planted by Heshen himself in his early years.
"If you're fine, come with me...... Ziyun begged, "I'm panicking alone." β
Sometimes she doesn't follow the rules, and she is even afraid of herself afterwards.
But I have stayed in Guangdong for too many years, and the emperor is far away, and I have never had that awareness, and it is really not something that can be changed in a year or two.
After the last banquet in Jingren Palace, when she followed a group of sect daughters to Shoukang Palace to meet Lafayette, she was laughed at for a while because of the wrong rules.
"Your rules really don't look like they're the same. Feng Jiwen said: "Later, when you arrive at Jingyun Nunnery, let Mama Yu give you pointers-"
Ziyun shook his head hurriedly when he heard this, "Then forget it......"
She had heard of Feng Jiwen's previous sins when she was learning the rules from the concubine. Therefore, although she thinks the concubine is very beautiful, she has always been very afraid.
"Come with me. She continued to hold Feng Jiwen's hand and beg.
Feng Jiwen said helplessly: "I'll see it then, if it's okay, I'll accompany you." β
Ziyun laughed twice. said: "Good crescent moon, I know you treat me best!"
Feng Jiwen smiled and pushed away her head that leaned over, and said, "Sit down, the road outside the city is not good, don't bump into it again." β
Ziyun sat down with a grin, a moment later. Suddenly remembered something, and said to Feng Jiwen with a bit of a positive face: "Have you heard about my second cousin?"
Shaojiu?
Feng Jiwen suddenly thought of the back of the young man who came back to the door and saw the horse from the alley from a distance.
She didn't know what happened to Na Yancheng when she went to Yinglian Mansion that day, but it was the last time she saw him.
Hearing Ziyun ask this, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with your second cousin?"
"I heard what my mother said......" Ziyun lowered her voice and said, "My second cousin's marriage contract with Miss Yuan is about to be dissolved. β
Feng Jiwen was stunned.
She had known about this matter for a long time, but because this family affair was given by the emperor himself, she naturally couldn't say that it was lifted like ordinary people, and it could be announced to the outside world.
At this time, even Ziyun knew about it, and it must have been approved by the emperor.
"Hey. Ziyun glanced at her and said inexplicably: "If you want to retreat, you can retreat, why did you go earlier......"
If it could have been earlier, maybe the crescent moon would have become her second cousin now, and it is unknown.
But Feng Jiwen is now a wife, and she knows that it is too inappropriate to say this, so she only sighs vaguely.
When Feng Jiwen and the others came to Jingyun Nunnery, Concubine Guo was already ready.
The concubine doesn't often go out, let alone what kind of outing, although she doesn't go far, she also attaches great importance to it, and the color of her clothes is a little lighter than usual, and she also covers her face with a black gauze fence on her head.
Although there was no atmosphere at all for such a handful, Feng Jiwen's mood was very complicated, but she didn't say anything, only respected Concubine Guo's wishes.
Of course, even if she is disrespectful, the concubine has absolutely no possibility of lifting the fence, and she may have to be disciplined.
Concubine Guo rode in the same carriage with Feng Jiwen and Ziyun.
As soon as the concubine got into the carriage, Ziyun, who was originally chattering and pulling Feng Jiwen to talk non-stop, was immediately silenced and could no longer be quiet.
It is the concubine, who will ask Feng Jiwen something from time to time, although her face is stern, and occasionally she has to coldly reprimand and remind her, but she can still make Ziyun on the side feel the care that this concubine reveals to Feng Jiwen.
The carriage drove towards Yanqi Lake behind Jingyun Temple.
"The last time I came back to Yanqi Lake, it was five years ago. Mama Yu looked at Concubine Guo and sighed with a smile.
"There's nothing to see. The concubine responded expressionlessly, which is a well-deserved 'professional sprinkling cold water for a hundred years'.
Fortunately, Feng Jiwen has long been used to it, and it has not affected the good mood of boating on the lake at all.
A few people were talking in the carriage, and suddenly they heard a faint panicked noise in front of them.
The carriage then stopped.
"What's going on up ahead?" Ziyun asked, pulling open the curtain of the carriage.
The coachman said in a panic: "It seems that the second master collided with someone!"
He is the chauffeur of the He family, and the second master in his mouth is naturally He Lin.
He Lin and Feng Shuzhi rode horses to open the way.
Feng Jiwen heard that she might have hit the horse, and she was afraid that people would also be injured, and the shadow she left in the western suburbs racecourse last time still lingered, so she got out of the carriage with some nervousness for a while and wanted to go forward to check the situation.
Sure enough, there was a mess not far ahead.
He Lin and Feng Shuzhi had already dismounted, and seeing that they were safe and sound, Feng Jiwen was relieved.
I just don't know if anyone on the other side is hurt.
The other side is overwhelming, noisy, and very unfriendly.
Feng Jiwen vaguely saw a few familiar people.
Yu Qixian, who was sitting on the horse with a sneer, was followed by Wang Lijun.
"It's obvious that you bumped into it on purpose, why do you want us to apologize to you in turn!" This was Feng Shuzhi's voice.
"Madam, it seems that the little young master has quarreled with someone...... "Xiaoxian looked forward and said nervously.
When Feng Jiwen frowned and came to the front of the crowd, she saw that He Lin was pulling Feng Shuzhi behind her with a face full of forbearance, bowing her head and making amends to Yu Qixian.
"We rode a horse and didn't look at the road, and we collided with Yu Gongzi. Please also ask Yu Gongzi to raise his noble hand and don't worry about us in general. β
He has suffered too much in the past because of his death with Qi Xian, and he has affected his brother I don't know how many times, so even if he is not angry, he will no longer clash with Qi Xian head-on.
What's more, he was out to play today, and his sister-in-law was still in the carriage, so if he made things bigger, it would be his fault.
Yu Qixian was targeting him, and he knew better than anyone else in his heart.
If you can endure it, you can endure it.
"Xi Zhai, we used to play together when we were young, don't you say this?" Yu Qixian was clearly smiling, but there was a mockery and disgust in his eyes, and when He Lin didn't have time to answer, he continued: "Today is all out of the green, I don't embarrass you, I don't have to worry about the matter of you hitting me - as long as you kneel down and kowtow to me, even if this matter is revealed, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
