And when she saw that the light in Zhou Chenying's eyes was getting hotter and hotter, Liang Ji raised the corners of her mouth with satisfaction. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even if her ultimate goal is not the person in front of her at all, but if she fails, then this person is barely qualified as a backup road.

Liang Ji looked at Zhou Chenying gently and gently, she didn't care what kind of misunderstanding such a look would cause to the other party, she just looked at him like that, and saw him walk into the sea of swords and fire that she had carefully laid out without complaint.

And the grand banquet has finally begun.

In Shou'an Fang, the Qingguo Mansion is brilliant and bright, the seven golden seals and stone agate lamps of the green auspicious clouds are lit up in the bleak autumn wind, and the carriages with the canopy and the red roof are parked outside the mansion, and the distinguished guests also step into the Qingguo Mansion.

Among them, Shen and Liang Cheng and their entourage are naturally among them.

There are really a lot of people from the Liang Mansion who came to the banquet this time, except for Liang Sixuan, who was busy with affairs in the Lantai Dynasty, so he didn't come, but the Shen family brought all the three young ladies of the Liang Mansion today.

Needless to say, as for Liang Cheng and Liang Ji, one was handpicked by the Shen family to go together, and the other was exhausted and had to follow together, so this team was formed.

In this regard, Liang Cheng was not much surprised.

Originally, although her mother-in-law has always taken an indifferent attitude towards Liang and Liang Ji, her mother has never treated them badly, not only has the food and clothing in the house been given in accordance with the regulations of the Liang Mansion, and has never deducted the slightest, even many large and small invitations, and even the kind of banquet with a very high threshold at her grandmother's house, the Shen family has always taken Liang and Liang Ji with her.

These banquets, which can greatly show their fame and make friends with the children of the nobles, are very important to Liang Wu and Liang Ji, the daughters of the high families, there is no need to say much at all.

But the Shen family did not take Liang and the two to the banquet once because they deliberately made things difficult.

Therefore, today Liang Ao and Liang Ji can follow her mother to Qingguo Mansion to participate in Zhou Chenying's crown ceremony, Liang Cheng even expected it earlier than Liang Ao and Liang Jiao, but the person concerned is just the opposite.

Since Liang Wu set out from the Liang Mansion, she has been in a state of distraction.

She really didn't expect that the Shen family would actually take her to the banquet of the Zhou family of the Qingguo Mansion.

After the Han family's incident, Liang Wu thought that the Shen family would never be the same as before.

If it was because of the Han family's power in the Liang Mansion and his father's favor in the past, then now that the Han family has been disgusted and has already left the mansion to go to the Compassion Nunnery, the result is already over, then how can the Shen family still treat their sisters and brothers with the same food and clothing as before? didn't deliberately make things difficult for them, Liang Wu was already extremely happy.

But what did she hear yesterday?

Until now, Liang Wu still felt that it was a dream, otherwise how could the Shen family take her with her to participate in this feast of powerful people?

Recently, although Liang Wu has been showing favor to the Shen family, she also hopes that the Shen family will not make things too difficult for her and Liang Yong, but what she didn't expect was that the Shen family didn't think about the things she worried about day and night.

Liang Yu was still a little unable to react at this time, and she was slightly distracted, but Liang Ji, who was standing next to her, was much more leisurely than her.

Liang Ji is wearing a purple and white folded chrysanthemum embroidery robe with a light blue background, a purple and white jacquard silver thread tuanfu long skirt, a sapphire blue fei woven jade belt around her waist, and a gold hairpin with beads and a thin chain of southern pearls.

"Sister Liang."

A low call made Liang Jiao, who was originally in a daze, leisurely drinking tea beside Liang Wu, pause, and then ignored Liang Wu, and got up directly to the place where the voice came from.

"Feiwei, why did you come here now?" Liang Ji said as she looked in the direction of the Shen family, who was taking Liang Cheng to meet her acquaintances on the other side.

"Aren't I being entrusted with this?" Zhou Fei covered his mouth slightly and smiled at Liang Jiao: "As soon as someone knows that you are coming, they ask me to come over and pass a message to him, so that you don't go to the Concubine Embroidery Pavilion with your mother-in-law after the crown ceremony is over." ”

Liang Ji suddenly had a hint of joy in her eyes, but she hid it too well, and Zhou Feiwei didn't see it at all.

I only heard Liang Ji ask with doubts: "Why?" ”

Zhou Fei smiled and said: "Why else, after the ceremony of my eldest brother's crowning ceremony is over, His Royal Highness Qi Yu will celebrate for the eldest brother separately, and you can't be absent at that time, Sister Liang." ”

"This ......"

Liang Ji hesitated suddenly, but Zhou Feiwei didn't wait for her to finish speaking: "Don't be here or there, Sister Liang, you don't have to worry about your mother-in-law, I will personally invite you then, just say that we are going to the garden, is it possible that your mother-in-law will still hold you and not allow you to go." ”

Of course she won't!

Liang Ji sneered in her heart, but after a struggle like a difficult choice on her face, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, but in this way, when the crown ceremony is over, you have to come over quickly, otherwise my grandmother doesn't know where to take me to sit and 'rest'." ”

The word "rest", Liang Ji said it a little heavier, but Zhou Feiwei's face was angry after hearing it, and then he said: "Sister Liang, don't worry, I will not let your mother-in-law take you and leave you alone, I will definitely come over and take you away earlier." ”

"Well, then thank you Feiwei." Liang Ji smiled softly at Zhou Fei.

"Sister Liang, you're welcome, anyway, we'll be a family in the future."

Zhou Feiwei ran away with a smile before Liang Ji blushed and was about to twist her mouth, so she naturally didn't see it, on Liang Ji's blushing pretty face, the smile that followed was gentle and could drip water, but it was also ruthlessly cold to the bottom of her heart.

……

……

"Why didn't you tell me before you came, I thought you wouldn't come to the Qingguo Mansion to participate in the crown ceremony of the eldest prince of the Zhou family."

This is the quietest corner of the concubine's embroidery forest, but it is also the most high-profile place, because several of the protagonists here are all people who have recently bloomed, among which the Shen family Mingyue needless to say, the next Mrs. Zhong, who had just married the second prince, and the second son were personally hand-picked by the Shen family Yi Yuan and brought to Xizhou Mrs. Chu Huan Bohou, as well as Mrs. Yu of the Shangshu Ling Yu family, etc., are not wealthy families in Jian'an, or they are big celebrities who have been on the tuyere recently.

In this way, it is strange that there is no public attention here.

And under the brilliance of these people, it is difficult for people to pay attention to the two girls who are muttering in the more remote Yiyu.

"This is also a temporary decision, otherwise I will definitely talk to Sister Zhong in advance." Liang Cheng said to Zhong Qing with a wry smile.

This time I came to Qingguo Mansion to participate in Zhou Chenying's crown ceremony, there were too many twists and turns, and the main reason was that I couldn't tell others, which made Liang Cheng a little depressed and helpless.

But Zhong Qing smiled, "It's just joking with Sister Liang, Sister Liang, how can you take it seriously." ”

Zhong Qing is now extremely affectionate to Liang Ming, as if she has been a friend for many years, and Liang Cheng is no longer as embarrassed as she was at the beginning, although she can't be as comfortable as Zhong Qing, but she is no longer awkward.

While the two were talking and laughing, Liang Cheng began to look for others in this flower forest.

She knew that Chu Gu would definitely come today, so not letting him and Liang Ji be alone had almost become Liang Ji's only purpose today. But it's a pity that Chu Gu's figure Liang Cheng didn't find it, but what she could find was someone she didn't want to see.

"Mother."

A clear and indifferent voice sounded not far from Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing, even if Liang Cheng was facing away from the owner of the voice, she could also feel what kind of surprise this person's arrival brought to everyone.

Because just from the flash of appreciation in Zhong Qing's eyes opposite her, Liang Cheng could know who was coming.

"The news of the second son of the Jiang family's extremely beautiful appearance has long been widely spread in Jian'anli, but no matter how many times he sees it, he will still be amazed." Zhong Qing approached Liang Cheng and sighed to her in a low voice.

"Really?" But Liang Cheng replied without being salty, she also knew that Jiang Chao's appearance was extremely handsome, but if she said that among the people she had seen, it was not impossible to say that there were people who were not below him, or even more beautiful than him. At the very least, Jiang Chao's brother-in-law, Jiang Min, is as handsome as him.

"Sister Liang, what did you just say?"

"Oh, no."

Liang Cheng hurriedly shook her head, she didn't want to talk about anything related to Jiang Chao, but it backfired, after Jiang Chao saluted the Shen family, the Shen family suddenly turned his head to look at Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing, "Mo Ke, don't come over and greet Chao'er." ”

Liang Cheng's body stiffened, and then she turned around and walked in the direction of Shen and Jiang Chao with a wooden face in Zhong Qing's slightly narrow smile, lowered her head slightly, and finally rubbed to Shen's side, and saluted Jiang Chao's blessing, "I've seen Jiang Gongzi." ”

Liang Cheng didn't look up, she just kept staring at the ground, and after a long time of meeting again, Liang Cheng couldn't say what kind of mood she was in when she saw Jiang Chao, but she could still hear the cold voice in her ears.

"I've seen Miss Liang San."

Jiang Chao's tone was still as cold and indifferent as before, and so was Liang Ming. Between the two of them, long after she woke up from a coma in early spring, there was no more unrequited love that she had when she was facing him. It's no longer like before, she can't help but blush when she sees him.

Now they don't move, he doesn't move, and she doesn't move. And when he took a step towards her, she would only step back.

Jiang Chao and Liang Cheng didn't know when they started, and they were only left with relative silence. The scene also fell silent for a while, and the Shen family beside Liang Cheng raised his eyebrows invisibly.

But Wang suddenly smiled and said, "Chao'er, what about Mr. Yi Yuan?" Didn't you say you were coming with Mr. Yi Yuan in the morning? ”

Jiang Chao's cold voice sounded: "Mr. has already come, but he has been personally invited to the study by Grandpa Guo just now, and the child is ordered by his father to come to his mother to say goodbye first." ”

"My second brother is here too?" After listening to Jiang Chao's words, a surprise crossed Shen's eyes.

The day before yesterday, Shen Yunlang and his entourage had arrived in Beijing safely, and the Shen family had already sent someone to the Zhendong General's Mansion to deliver a letter to report safety, but the two brothers and sisters were unable to meet, one was that the Shen family was in charge of the Liang Mansion, and every day was extremely busy, and Shen Yunlang was the same, he had just rushed back from Dai County, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, and the two brothers and sisters naturally had been communicating by letter.

But it was really a big surprise to be able to meet Zhou Chenying's crown gift today.

The corners of Shen's mouth raised slightly, and the atmosphere that had just condensed a little was immediately dispelled, and he happily listened to Jiang Chao's report, while Liang Cheng unconsciously retracted back to the original corner and stood beside Zhong Qing.

"Sister Liang, the rumors of your childhood sweetheart with Jiang Gongzi are not fake?" Zhong Qing looked at Liang Cheng's figure who couldn't wait to come back, and asked with some amusement.

"It's not fake, but who says that all childhood sweethearts' feelings will be good?" Liang Cheng lowered her eyes, Zhong Qing couldn't see her expression, and Liang Cheng's voice was unclear, and Zhong Qing couldn't hear what kind of mood was contained there.

But even so, Zhong Qing could clearly feel that Liang Cheng didn't want to mention Jiang Chao's affairs, so she immediately diverted the topic and talked about other things.

The atmosphere was harmonious for a while, and Jiang Chao should also say goodbye and go to the front yard first, so Liang Cheng immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Liang, did you hear that?"

"Huh?"

Liang Ming, who had been paying attention to Jiang Chao's final departure, looked up at Zhong Qing with a confused expression, her performance like this, needless to say, Zhong Qing knew that she hadn't heard what she had just said, so Zhong Qing smiled helplessly and repeated again, "Sister Liang, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping invited you to the palace to participate in the flower banquet, will you go?" ”

Liang Cheng was stunned, "Princess Changping invited me to the palace to participate in the flower banquet?" "It can't be.

Even today, Liang Cheng still remembers how Her Royal Highness Princess Changping treated her coldly and indifferently on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although she doesn't know why she is hostile to herself, but there is no doubt that Princess Changping doesn't like her, so in this case, how could she invite herself into the palace to attend her banquet?

Princess Changping doesn't like to leave the palace, but she likes to hold banquets in the palace to entertain celebrities in Beijing, which has long been known in Jian'an, and Liang Cheng naturally knows it. The flower banquet that Zhong Qing said in his mouth, without thinking too much, knew that it must also be a banquet raised by Princess Changping herself.

Such a celebrity banquet specially invited Princess Changping to admire, how could she let a person she didn't like come to the banquet?

If there was no greasy in this, Liang Cheng would not have believed it.

"Sister Zhong, did Her Royal Highness Princess Changping personally ask you to bring this invitation to me?" Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing and asked.

"Yes." Zhong Qing nodded, and then after hesitating for a while, she suddenly said to Liang Cheng who was groaning: "I have known Her Royal Highness Princess Changping for a short time, Sister Liang, I have a sentence, I don't know if you want to listen to it." ”

Liang Cheng was a little surprised in her heart, but she still smiled on her face, "Sister Zhong, it's okay to say it." ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Changping's invitation this time, don't go if you can."

Zhong Qing looked back at Liang Cheng calmly, the look on her face was very sincere, so that Liang Cheng was embarrassed to continue to doubt, but she didn't ask any more extra words, Zhong Qing can say so much to her, it is extremely rare, you must know that Princess Changping and she have known each other for many years, even if the friendship between the two is not pure, but it is not emotionless.

Liang Cheng nodded a little gratefully at Zhong Qing and said, "Sister Zhong, don't worry, I remember everything you said." Recently, my Liang family has also been eventful, and on that day, I may not have time to go to the palace for a banquet. ”

Zhong Qing smiled, "Yes, recently Liang Xiang has been in Lantai to relieve the country's worries, the Liang family is now busy, and they can't enter the palace for a banquet, presumably Her Royal Highness Princess Changping can also understand and will not blame." ”

Saying that, Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing just looked at each other and smiled.

In this smile, the two of them have changed their perception of each other, although small, but real. Especially for people like Liang Cheng, any change is so difficult, but Zhong Qing finally let Liang Cheng change again after a long time.

……

……

Now it is the end of the unitary time, the sky has completely darkened, and the entire Qingguo Mansion is finally completely shrouded in the orange light of the auspicious clouds and seven golden seals and stone agate lamps.

Huge concubine embroidered in the woods. There is a pavilion close to the center, this is the place where Zhou Chenying wears the crown tonight, Liang Cheng also sat quietly beside Shen at this time, looking at Zhou Chenying, who was wearing a red and colorful gold thread embroidered brocade and folding branch robe, Yushu walked in step by step, and walked in front of Zhou Yu, the top Qingguo Gong, and his father personally put on the purple gold jade crown for himself.

Crown ceremony, becoming.

It's just a simple action, but it took more than an hour from beginning to end, and Liang Cheng really couldn't help but let out a long breath when she watched Zhou Chenying finally wear the purple gold jade crown on her head.

"Whew-" Liang Cheng was happy that this lengthy and cumbersome etiquette was finally over, but after she turned her head to see the colors of Zhou Feiwei and Liang Ji fighting each other, her thin moon eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.

What does this mean?

Liang Cheng subconsciously looked in the other direction, where Qi Yu and Jiang Chao were sitting, but what she wanted to see was Chu Gu behind them.

I saw that Qi Yu and Jiang Chao were talking to the people next to them at this time, among them, Qi Yu still had a smile like a spring breeze, and Jiang Chao still had a cold face, but the gentlemen around them were all the same flattery, which was completely different from when they treated Chu Gu.

Liang Cheng looked at the few disdainful aristocratic children around Chu Gu, she could already foresee their tragic ending in the future.

Chu Gu is indeed just a child of the clan adopted by Concubine Meng under his knees, but Concubine Meng does not correct Chu Gu's name on the Qi family's jade plate, the reason is not that everyone thinks that he is not taken seriously, or that Chu Gu's status is low.

The real reason for this, when the truth is revealed in the future, will make all those who underestimate him today be terrified.

But that has to wait until that day, right?

Liang Cheng looked at Chu Gu cautiously, and then inadvertently looked at Liang Ji beside her, and her eyebrows had already begun to wrinkle. Today's situation is really bad, after the crown ceremony is over, presumably Qi Yu and Zhou Chenying will definitely get together again, just like when they were in the Mansion of Uncle Chu Huan, after everyone's congratulations, they privately congratulated Jiang Chao again.

So today is even Zhou Chenying's crown ceremony, how could Qi Yu and them no longer get together in private?

She finally understood now what one of the reasons why Liang Ji had been entangled with Zhou Chenying and Zhou Feiwei all the time, she wanted to borrow Zhou Chenying's big tree to get close to Qi Yu, maybe it was the ultimate goal?

It's like a gathering for a while, such a gathering with a great private banquet, if there is no acquaintance in the middle, that chance encounter is just that, what is going on with each other?

Liang Cheng can't stand it even if she is extremely thick-skinned, not to mention that she has never been a cheeky person.

For a while, Liang Cheng was extremely depressed, she should have thought about what Liang Ji's plan was, from the time she did not hesitate to advance the moon silver like her mother, but also to Shechun to customize new clothes and buy new jewelry, she should have thought of this.

If Liang Ji was not very sure, then how could she make such a heavy investment? You must know that the more Liang Ji is like this, the more she will not do things that she is not sure of, if she can sacrifice the gentle and obedient image that she has always maintained in front of her mother, then there must be something more important than winning favor in front of her mother.

So what could it be?

For example, is it to be able to get close to Qi Yu, or to make Qi Yu pay more attention to the summer flowers that have bloomed to the extreme, just waiting for someone to pick them?

Liang Cheng looked at Liang Jiao, who was especially beautiful and charming tonight, and knew that she had been inspected many times by many aristocratic young men who were strong in blood, even Qi Yu, that Liang Cheng had really bumped into him a few times and looked deeply at their fiery gaze.

It was neither thrown at her, nor at Liang Yu, who was almost in a daze, but at Liang Ji.

Liang Ji has a very beautiful appearance, which Liang Cheng already knew very clearly in her previous life, otherwise how could she have earned the dignity of a noble concubine when Emperor Wen was already dying? Otherwise, after the death of Emperor Wen back then, how could she still be a concubine of the first emperor, and then ascend to the high Xuanwu platform? (To be continued.) )
