The Dingwang Mansion is also among the invitations of the Six Princes' Mansions.

However, it was not that Princess Xiangshan was grateful to Su Yiqing and specially invited, but according to the rules, she could not be missed.

Some banquets, it's one thing whether people come or not, it's another thing whether you invite or not, even if you know that you don't come back, the post is also going to be placed, and you can't be sloppy at all, how many new daughters-in-law offend people because of this bad hand.

When the Sixth Prince's Mansion sent the post, it didn't expect the princess to come.

But when Su Yiqing sent someone to reply to the post, saying that if there was no accident, she would go to the appointment on time, Princess Xiangshan couldn't help but be a little stunned.

This should be the first time that Princess Ding attended another banquet after King Ding rushed to the border pass, right?

Could it be because of that night's friendship? Or is there some other reason? Princess Xiangshan was a little nervous for a while, and she faintly felt that this was a big deal.

Princess Ding has not been out of the house for a long time, let alone going to another house for a banquet, this time it will inevitably give a signal to the outside world that the Dingwang Mansion is good friends with the Six Princes' Mansion.

For her, it may be a good thing, and those who are troubled will inevitably think a little more, and if they think farther, they will think of the relationship between the Meng clan and the Great Zhou now, even if it is closer, it is not harmful to make friends with the Dingwang Mansion to the Six Princes' Mansion.

But why did Princess Ding agree to come to the banquet?

Princess Xiangshan felt that Princess Ding didn't look like she suddenly felt pity for her, not that she felt that Princess Ding had a bad heart, but she didn't think she was like a person who cared about such a trivial matter. The actual help is not very great.

And that night, Princess Ding suddenly appeared and saved her from danger, which was even more weird, I didn't expect that Princess Ding was actually equipped with martial arts, especially light skills, and it didn't look like an ordinary lady at all.

It's just that for a while, there are too many facts happening to her, and the changes are too fast, and there is a moment. She almost thought that she was going to get rid of the identity of the sixth princess. Regain your freedom, return to your homeland, find a real man, and start your life again.

That night, the carriages were already near the gates of the city. It seems like it's just a few steps away. to be able to get out of this gorgeous cage. As a result, she is indeed just a few steps away, and she will become someone else's ghost. Even if he dies, he probably doesn't know who killed him.

Afterwards, she thought about it for a long time,

There are too many people who have the motive to kill her, and the first thing she thinks of is Lian Yufeng, Lian Yufeng insists on provoking a war between the two countries, as long as she dies on the streets of Dazhou inexplicably, no matter how unwilling the Meng clan is, she must also ask for guilt, which represents the dignity of the Meng clan, even if she knows that the odds of victory are not big, she must fight, otherwise how can the Meng men still raise their heads?

Lian Yufeng wanted to kill her, but the princess knew about it and wanted to stop it, so she appeared so coincidentally and saved her, which is the only reasonable explanation.

She once wanted to repair the book to tell her father about it, so that her father was vigilant, but in the end the letter was still not written, her most trusted Aunt Feng died, she can't trust anyone now, if the letter accidentally falls into the hands of others, it will cause an uproar, anyway, the relationship between the Meng clan and Da Zhou is already so tense now, and there is no need to remind too much.

Of course, there is another more reasonable possibility, that is, the events of that night were purely a play, and the Dingwang Mansion first sent a killer to chase and kill her, and then let Princess Ding come forward to save her, win her trust, and then use her trust to do something.

What Princess Ding said that night, she recalled in her mind over and over again, she generally did not believe too much in the words of someone she was not familiar with, but at the same time, she was also a woman, and as a woman, she sometimes trusted her intuition more than her rational judgment.

Princess Xiangshan's intuition told her that Princess Ding was a good person, not like someone who planned such a bloody scene.

Regardless, she was ready.

After a few days, the feast was no longer a feast for her.

……

It was early in the morning of the feast.

Su Yiqing asked Green Vine to give her fine makeup, and Luo Cao was helping her comb her cumbersome bun.

Hanging next to her was the gorgeous dress she had just made two days ago, embroidered with gold and silver threads, and with the glittering purple gemstone jewelry on the dresser, it was estimated that the whole person was also shining.

The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, the road has frozen bones is such a portrayal, after getting married, she has several large boxes of gorgeous clothes, most of the time has not been on the body, but all year round but still have to keep making new clothes, once there is a banquet, and a few days in advance to make the most popular style in the city.

This is why the high-ranking families in Yancheng, especially the noble family, once the man is not in the hands of the power, he will lose so quickly, without the right, the income will naturally be less, but the people in the house have been accustomed to the cost of glory after the glory, and it is not an exaggeration to say that spending money is like flowing water.

No matter how thick the family foundation is, it can be easily exhausted in just a few years.

She didn't want to be so extravagant and wasteful, but Green Vine said that the noble family was like this, and if the princess didn't want to attract attention, she had to do the same.

Some women in the house are very bored, pay special attention to some details, and the princess is set to have two masters, if she is too frugal and has little money in the house, there will inevitably be senseless people who suspect that what to do with the money saved?

Some of the shallow ones laughed at the princess behind their backs, saying that the princess grew up in the countryside and had a miser's temperament, which was harmless, while some of the more thoughtful ones wondered if there was a shortage of money in the palace?

The princess has a good heart, if she takes the money out to do good deeds, it will not be successful, she will be said to be a man who sells fame and fishes, and the power in his hands is too heavy, and his reputation is too good.

Therefore, in addition to spending this money yourself, you can't keep it moldy.

There is no way, you can only do the clothes of the four seasons, eat what you should eat, use what you should use, not to mention too extravagant, but not too much worse than other ladies of the same status.

I spent almost a morning dressing up, learning the lesson of the last time I met the cuckoo, wearing heavy makeup, and making sure that I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror.

It's better to be laughed at and vulgar than to be seen in something. In her current position, what her taste is no longer affected by the overall situation.

A little shortcoming, maybe it can make people more at ease, people will be more afraid of those perfect people, if she is good, others will think that she is a virtuous helper of the wind, but it is easy to get into trouble.

In this way, after Su Yiqing finished her makeup, she went out under the initial embrace of a group of maids and servants.

Come to the Six Princes' Mansion. It was a cousin-in-law of the Six Princes who greeted her. This cousin-in-law's surname is Han is a lady who has a somewhat declining Hou Mansion, a declining noble, if she wants to continue to maintain, she has to be in power. But everyone who is gaining power is rushing to tie the knot. It wasn't her turn. As a last resort, you can only rely on those who are not very powerful.

There are no elders in the Six Princes' Mansion, and there are banquets and feasts. It's all some close elders who help with the cooking, but recently everyone has avoided Princess Xiangshan, and Princess Xiangshan doesn't want to ask for others, fortunately, this Mrs. Han didn't show too much estrangement, probably because their family has moved away from the center of power, anyway, it's already like that, it won't be any worse.

I probably want to gamble, the meaning of burning the cold stove, in case that day, the fierce clan and Da Zhou reconciled again, and now please Princess Xiangshan, you will be able to have great benefits in the future.

Mrs. Han doesn't seem to be so sociable, seeing Su Yiqing dressed up in full costume, she looks a little restrained, a few words of the scene are dry, and she looks a little worried, probably afraid of offending people, and now rumors from the outside world, this princess Ding's temper does not seem to be very good, especially after giving birth to a child, after sitting firmly in the position of the princess, her personality is unusually domineering, taking advantage of the absence of the prince Ding, the maids in the palace who have been a little colored are driven out of the house.

The elders of Beppu came to the door, and they didn't give face, so they didn't see anything.

Su Yiqing didn't know what Mrs. Han was thinking, but for a person like her who was not very sensitive to clothing, she could easily see that the clothes and jewelry worn by Mrs. Han were obviously outdated, and the color did not look very new, which showed that the Han family was indeed in decline, so that she couldn't even wear a few clothes to support the scene.

Along the way, the two didn't talk much, Su Yiqing didn't want to have too much contact with people, and Mrs. Han couldn't find a topic and didn't dare to speak, so she was silent all the way to the flower hall, and there were a lot of people in the flower hall.

But Su Yiqing glanced over, but she knew little, and judging her identity according to her clothes, these noblewomen, who were dressed decently, were obviously a grade lower than the noblewomen in the banquets she attended in the past.

The slightly more familiar face is the Li family of the Guojun Palace, and the princess of Guojun and the princess of Guojun did not come, and listened to the introduction again.

Sure enough, the daughters-in-law who came were not very powerful in the provinces, or those who were not in charge of the family, such as the second daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law of the side branch, etc., barely able to represent the provinces, which was regarded as giving face to the six princes, so as not to be invited, they did not come to offend people, no matter how the six princes were, they were still the emperor's sons, and the mansion was given by the emperor to give face.

Compared with Princess Xiangshan, the group of ladies obviously wanted to tie up the princess Ding, who was now in power.

Helplessly, Su Yiqing's face was always faint, a little rejecting people from thousands of miles away, they didn't dare to make too many mistakes, lest they be self-defeating.

When all the guests arrived, Princess Xiangshan ordered a banquet.

If the host's family is active and there are a few guests who can speak well and are good at enlivening the atmosphere, but if the host's family is silent and can't even force a smile, how dare the guests speak first? Most of the guests this time are of low status and have been sent by the family to fill the number, and they dare not say more, lest the horse's fart be patted on the horse's leg.

In such a dreary atmosphere, everyone only knew how to bury their heads in eating, and the food on the table was much more consumed than the usual banquet.

After a hasty meal, Princess Xiangshan, as the host, had to take everyone to visit the new house.

The group of people was in twos and threes, and slowly, some of them dispersed.

At this time, Princess Xiangshan walked next to Su Yiqing, and the two walked among the dense flowers and trees, and the servant seemed to fall behind, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Princess, look at my garden, how is it arranged?" Princess Xiangshan said on these innocuous topics.

Su Yiqing looked at it, the flowers were red and willow green, in fact, she herself has always had a very high taste for the layout of the surrounding scenery, she was worried and uneasy in her early years, and then she has been living a life of wandering, how can she have the leisure to study these?

If someone else asked this, maybe Su Yiqing would still search her intestines and scrape her stomach and try her best to go to the banquet for a few words, but after that night, not to mention that they understand each other, no matter how strong the vassal elegance is, it seems redundant, so she said: "I am not very proficient in these, all the plants and trees are luxuriant and the flowers are gorgeous, in my eyes, they are almost the same." ”

"Yes, I also like flowers that grow very well. Princess Xiangshan said and smiled, "I grew up in the fierce tribe, the grassland and the forest, there are wild flowers everywhere, I have ever seen the most brilliant and delicate flowers, on the grassland, a large field of wild flowers as tall as a person, riding a horse in the sea of flowers, occasionally one or two branches rise very high, petals brush the face, just like the mother's hand when I was a child...... That was the most beautiful thing in time, my mother was a noble girl of Dajing, her hands were very soft, different from the fierce women, I will always remember ......"

Princess Xiangshan said, her voice lowered, and there was a faint light in her eyes.

Dajing noblewoman, Su Yiqing thought about it for a while, it seems that in the past few decades, I have not heard that the Meng clan and Dajing have been reconciled, if it is really a Dajing noblewoman, she will go to the Meng clan...... There may be only one reason, she was abducted and trafficked, or she was taken captive in the war, and then listening to Princess Xiangshan's tone, it seems that her mother has passed away for a long time, so long that other memories have been blurred, and she remembers her mother's hand.

Come to think of it, Princess Xiangshan is also an unfortunate woman.

The biological mother is of a different race, she grew up in the Meng clan, and she must have received a lot of white eyes, which is probably why, obviously being used as a chess piece, but still have to seek benefits for the Meng clan, carefully maneuvering, and even swallowing her anger to please the noblewomen who flatter the Great Zhou.

Su Yiqing remembered when she was married to Lian Yufeng as the lord of the county.

At that time, I had never seen Lian Yufeng, Da Zhou was described as hell by Da Jing, men were barbaric and rude, but in fact, many customs of Da Zhou and Da Jing are similar, not so terrifying, but the transportation is inconvenient and so on, so that some women in the house think that the foreign race is really so terrible.

Thinking about it again, when she was married, she didn't have any family and country in her heart, and she didn't think about what obligations she had to fulfill to maintain the friendship between the two countries.

So she can especially understand Princess Xiangshan's weakness at that moment. (To be continued......)
