In the evening of the next day, when the twilight was getting darker, the ladies of each family came one after another.

In the spacious tent, the tent curtains, tables and chairs are complete, and the melons, fruits, and refreshments have already been prepared.

"This cold winter wax moon, it is really a good day for plum and narcissus to bloom, look at this flower, it's really rare!"

Mrs. Li is a person who likes flowers, and when she saw a circle of brightly colored plums and narcissus blooming along the table below, she couldn't help but admire, and Mrs. Sun also smiled:

"Yes, although it is inconvenient to hold a banquet in the barracks, it is really not easy for the princess to find so many elegant flowers. ”

While the two were talking, a maidservant girl who was waiting on the side led them into their seats first.

Mrs. Li's daughter whispered to the daughter of the Sun family:

"Your mother-in-law has not yet seen the face of the princess, and she began to flatter in every way, in fact, this plum and narcissus are just the most common flowers in winter, if the princess can bring out a pot of peonies at this time, it will be respectful!"

The Sun family followed the only daughter of General Sun Shen, but she was a concubine and never talked much.

Hearing that Miss Li was so unconvinced, she didn't speak, but only smiled faintly:

"At this time, the world has not yet been calmed, and it is not suitable to be too extravagant, and it is already rare to be able to do so. ”

Miss Li pursed her lips, she couldn't look down on Miss Sun's timid and scared appearance, she twisted her face away, and went to think about things alone.

Miss Sun seems to be used to it, and she is not annoyed, but she only feels that Miss Li's heart is about to come to naught.

What kind of thoughts these ladies had before they came, Miss Sun knew very well, and she knew better why they came to the capital.

But in this world, even if it is royal, is the side room so good?

Because she is a concubine, she has been swallowing her anger at home with her aunt, and she has won the favor of her mother-in-law a little, even if she can only marry a small official in her life, she will never want to be a concubine again.

Don't say that concubines are not concubines, as long as they are not queens, aren't they all concubines?

It's just that she is the only daughter of the Sun family, and she can't help herself when she comes to Beijing, and now that she is here, she should just watch a good show, after all, judging from the situation of His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess of the World, these ambitious ladies are afraid that they will not be able to intervene.

Not long after, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wang also brought Zheng Yingniang and Wang Huiniang, as well as the two girls of the Wang family.

At this point, the people invited by Bai Chenghuan are also halfway there.

It's just that when Zheng Yingniang walked in, everyone looked at her.

The hair that had been shaved in pieces had been pulled up as much as possible, but there were still a few strands of uneven length exposed, although the clothes were bright, but the expression was still a little unnatural, and there was no longer the majestic and high-spirited spirit that used to be everywhere.

Since being punished that day, Zheng Yingniang has officially appeared in front of people for the first time.

When Miss Li saw that she still had a face to appear at the banquet, she immediately shouted in surprise:

"Zheng Yingniang, why do you still have a face? If I were you, I would have found a corner to hide, where would you dare to swagger in front of the princess, do you know the shame of you?"

Shaking Hui, who was entertaining guests on the side, looked at it in surprise when she heard this, not only surprised by Zheng Yingniang's courage, but also surprised by Miss Li's directness, it seems that the northwest lady is really very different from the Beijing girl's temperament!

"Li Chang'e, shut your mouth, the princess didn't say that she wouldn't allow me to come, which onion are you?"

"Oh, if the princess knew what kind of character you were, she would definitely let people kick you out!"

"Do you dare to try again?!See if I can beat you!"

Zheng Yingniang has always been accustomed to solving problems by force, and she immediately has to roll her arms and sleeves.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Qiu Yue, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and Wang Huiniang also stood up and stepped forward to persuade her, and she forced the two to separate.

Several ladies and ladies standing on one side witnessed the quarrel and were not calm.

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Zheng, and her expression lost her previous respect in the northwest:

"Mrs. Zheng, no matter what, your daughter should also be in charge! The princess wants to fight and kill before she is in the future, is this a banquet that is intended to ruin the princess?"

Mrs. Zheng was also very annoyed with her daughter who insisted on coming over, but in front of outsiders, she had to protect her shortcomings no matter what, so she replied with slanted eyes:

"Our Yingniang's temper is a little short-tempered, but she is not an unreasonable person, okay, others don't tease her, she naturally won't want to beat people, if some people's daughters are cheap, even if they are really beaten, then they can't blame others!"

"You!" Mrs. Li was so angry that she was about to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun's husbands used to have lower official ranks than Zheng Baobao, and it was not a matter of a day or two for the two of them to be rejected by Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Li saw that the Zheng family had lost face a few days ago, and she really wanted to vent her evil anger, but Mrs. Sun was different.

She quickly gave Mrs. Li a look, and then smiled at Mrs. Zheng as humbly as before:

"Madame, don't be angry, Miss Zheng's temper, we all know it, we are women in the northwest, this temper is something that can't be helped, Chang'e is also a knife mouth tofu heart, they are children, let's be adults, but don't quarrel again, and ask Mrs. Zheng to calm her anger." ”

Mrs. Zheng, who was choked by Mrs. Li, felt that her face had picked up a little, and walked to her seat with a snort:

"Today, for the sake of the princess's face, I don't care, in the future, each family will take care of their own affairs, and be less nosy!"

Mrs. Li's face turned red with anger, but Mrs. Sun whispered something in her ear, and she immediately calmed down, and walked hand in hand with Mrs. Sun to the other side and sat down.

Seeing this, Zheng Yingniang felt that Mrs. Zheng had won, glared at Miss Li quite proudly, and followed Wang Huiniang into the seat.

Only an honest Mrs. Wang was left, looking left and right, at a loss, and finally was invited to sit by Shaohui.

Tonight it was quiet outside, and most of them didn't notice that the curtain was lifted at the door of the big tent in a warm and slap-wide slit.

"Qiu Yu, look, this is like a fierce battlefield, but this is much more tiring than fighting. ”

Bai Chenghuan turned around and walked back a few steps, exhaled deeply, and the cold air immediately poured into his chest, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

Qiu Yu hurriedly put down the curtain in his hand and followed:

"Isn't it, looking at this Mrs. Zheng's personality, it's not surprising how their Zheng family can teach a daughter like Zheng Yingniang!"

On the side, Xiao Shaotang, who also witnessed all this, stopped Bai Chenghuan into his arms and used his own big qi to isolate the cold air around her.

There are just a few women inside, but they are already intrigued, divided into several factions.

There will be more women and more disputes in the future, and Xiao Shaotang also feels distressed by Bai Chenghuan:

"If you don't want to entangle with them, let's go back, with me, even if you ignore them, no one can do anything to you!"

Bai Chenghuan struggled out of his arms to show his face and shook his head:

"It's okay, it's just a little thing, I can handle it—if I have a good reputation, why should I be talked about behind me and embarrass you?"

"But you're pregnant now, and I don't want you to worry about being tired......"

Xiao Shaotang has really seen the trouble of being in a pile of women now, if it was normal, he should relieve Bai Chenghuan's boredom, but at this time, he still tends to solve the problem simply and rudely-

"At all, you don't have to talk to them more, temptation comes and goes, I directly ask Mr. Yuan to keep a big match, let all the daughters of their family marry out, and save the calculation on your head!"

This idea made Bai Chenghuan a little happy:

"What you said is also a very good idea, but Mr. Yuan has never married a daughter-in-law in his life, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep a good match, it's just that I'll bother with it!"

Seeing that Xiao Shaotang was still about to speak, Bai Chenghuan stretched out two fingers like green onions and pressed them on his lips:

"Not only today, not only here, every day of our lives, every year, as long as there are people with conflicting interests, there will be such intrigues, if you can't even cope with this, how can I accompany you to the end?"

She smiled at Xiao Shaotang:

"You just have to stand by my side and make me a shield, and leave the rest to me!"

When Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang walked in hand in hand, many people in the camp did not react.

It wasn't until Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun got up together and went out to salute Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang that there was still a little noisy tent that there was silence for a moment.

"Xiao Shaotang!"

Zheng Yingniang looked at the tall and straight figure blankly, and exclaimed in a low voice.

After her mother, Mrs. Zheng, pulled her hard, she staggered out and knelt on the ground, but she still held her head high, and felt her eyes tingle in the salute and greeting of others.

A person who is already tall and handsome, no matter what kind of clothes he wears, looks good, especially when his hair is neatly pulled up, and he is wearing a dazzling red gold crown, which is inlaid with a red gem, which reflects his handsome face even more eye-catching.

And inside his dark color, the purple embroidered gold thread of the prince's prince often dresses with a luxurious and lofty royal atmosphere, which makes it easy to forget that he is only an eighteen-year-old man.

But he has a warm smile on his face, and at a glance, it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

It's just that all the warmth in his eyes was given to the woman he was holding, and he didn't even blow to her side.

Because she made a mistake, when Mrs. Zheng came to see Bai Chenghuan, Zheng Yingniang was able to follow.

Therefore, it was the first time she had seen Bai Chenghuan.

The tall woman's beautiful and delicate face was wrapped in the snow-white wind hair on the edge of the big red cloak, like a fine mutton fat jade, exuding a warm and soft luster.

The crimson dress inside hangs beautifully to the top of the feet, and the corners of the skirt sway slightly with the white jade hanging from the waist as you walk, posing in a graceful arc.

Her neck is stretched, her shoulders and back are straight, her demeanor is like a piece of luxury, and the crystal tassel hairpin between her buns is gently shaking in her ears, which is beautiful.

The two of them held hands, and the red and purple colors did not feel tacky at all when worn on them, but seemed to have an innate nobility, which made people almost dare not look directly.

When they walked past Zheng Yingniang, Zheng Yingniang clenched her hands, and jealousy stabbed her palms along with her nails-

It's just a monster with great power, a jealous person who dominates her husband, how can she be so good-looking?

Kitsune!

It's a pity that at this time, no matter how Zheng Yingniang is, no one looks at her more, everyone's eyes follow Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan, until they sit down, and the surprise in their eyes has settled.

Didn't you say that it was just a banquet for women, could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince should also attend it together?

But for most of the women present, it was a really joyous thing.

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Shaotang to speak, but Xiao Shaotang was waiting for Bai Chenghuan to speak.

Bai Chenghuan also smiled and opened the golden mouth:

"Ladies, get up and take your seats, tonight I invite you all to come and get together, you don't have to be polite. ”

The ladies got up and returned to their original positions, and at this time, a few more ladies who had not counted the time arrived, and naturally they greeted each other for a while, and they chatted for a long time before they settled down.

Bai Chenghuan first raised his glass to toast everyone, and then as soon as the wine glass was raised to his lips, it was gently and skillfully snatched away by Xiao Shaotang.

"The princess is not in good health today, this cup of wine will be drunk by the descendants of this world!"

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and arched his hand to the ladies and ladies who were already stunned.

It was Mrs. Li who reacted first, drank the wine in the cup, and said with a smile:

"A few days ago, the concubine only saw the princess, and did not specifically salute His Royal Highness, but today I saw His Royal Highness the prince, and I knew what a match made in heaven and a good couple came naturally. His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is so kind to the Princess of the World, it is really rare!"

"The princess has followed this prince all the way hard, hard work, no matter how good this prince is to her, it should be!"

Xiao Shaotang unceremoniously accepted Mrs. Li's praise, and looked at Bai Chenghuan beside him with tenderness, which caused all kinds of thoughts and ups and downs of the ladies in the hall for a while.

But no one thought about what to say, only Zheng Yingniang, who had been completely stimulated by this tenderness and was about to go crazy, stood up and shouted at Bai Chenghuan:

"Since the princess is the hostess tonight, why doesn't she want to drink a glass in person, but pushes the matter to His Royal Highness?

Mrs. Zheng, who had just calmed down, was suddenly frightened by her daughter and knelt on the ground again, with despair in her voice:

"What nonsense are you talking about!

Bai Chenghuan looked at Wang Huiniang, who was still sitting in place, and suddenly sighed in his heart.

The bait was thrown, but it turned out that such a madman, a really big fish, had not yet been baited.
