Chapter 292: Counterattack

Mama Qing's dissatisfaction was that she thought that the people in the Wenjun Mansion had neglected Su Yiqing.

Guan is only the third daughter-in-law of King Wenjun, the second daughter-in-law Jiao who gave birth to a child, King Wenjun also has an eldest daughter-in-law Duan who was born in a noble family, this family is both the eldest daughter-in-law and the princess, they set the palace to be one of the best in the Xungui pile, and the princess of their family is naturally one of the best ladies in addition to the palace mother, and the king is one grade higher than the king of Wenjun, even if the princess of Wenjun personally greets her, it is not too much, but the princess of Wenjun is an elder, and it is inconvenient to greet her, so it should be greeted by the princess Duan, but now it is the Guan family, who is the smallest in origin and ranking, is obviously negligent, and the nobles pay the most attention to this, When she followed the princess to marry, she studied the rules of the top nobles for a long time, and she consulted several experienced grandmothers in detail two days ago, and she would definitely not be wrong.

Su Yiqing didn't feel no sense of Mama Qing's dissatisfaction, but just ignored it, this is nothing, and it will be a big battle later.

The gentleness and elegance of the Guan family is a noblewoman, but the eyes of a grandmother beside her are also a little sharp, which is also a typical example of a noblewoman, she must maintain an elegant demeanor at all times, most of the bad guys are made by people around her, Su Yiqing watched TV in her previous life, and she didn't understand that some wise and martial emperors would have two ministers around them, such as Bao Qingtian and Pang Taishi in the Song Dynasty, and He Shen and Ji Xiaolan in the Qing Dynasty.

If you can't guess the emperor's thoughts, how can you be comfortable as an emperor if you can't quietly handle those traitors who can't put forward the needs of the emperor openly? And afterwards, the notoriety can be borne by others, and if necessary, you can unload the grind, kill the donkey, and have a reputation for being discerning.

Now Su Yiqing's side is like this, and Qing Mama wrote her dissatisfaction on her face, which means that she told the people of the Wenjun Palace, and the people of the Dingwang Mansion have noticed their negligence, even if the princess is the bride. I didn't notice it for a while, but after I went back, this grandmother would naturally remind me.

"There's the Flower Hall right in front. The place was spacious, and the distance was a bit far. Don't mind, Princess Ding. Guan smiled and groaned, for fear that Su Yiqing would be displeased and make a move that would embarrass everyone.

Su Yiqing smiled faintly, "It's just a few steps." ”

One sentence made the Guan family a little apprehensive, this must have been the princess did not say some polite words that she didn't mind as she expected, and she didn't take the opportunity to show that her place was more spacious than here like some high-minded daughters-in-law. Saying something like this in our house makes it difficult for her to answer.

Looking sideways at the calm and unhurried appearance of the princess, who is only a few years younger than herself, how can there be a trace of the shyness of the new daughter-in-law who goes out as a guest for the first time, not to mention that she has not been led by her elders yet, she is the daughter of everyone, she has been raised by her grandmother since she was a child, and she will learn how to be a daughter-in-law when she grows up a little, but even so, it is really time to get married and become a new daughter-in-law. The first time I went out to someone else's house as a guest, I was still terrified, for fear of taking the wrong step. said the wrong word, so he could only follow his mother-in-law and sister-in-law step by step, and he didn't even dare to raise his head like this.

There is also this flamboyant dress, Yunfei makeup and satin weaving colorful flowers and flying butterfly brocade clothes, combing a flying fairy bun, a phoenix spreading wings on his head, red gold rubby earrings, begonia flower-shaped gold collar, just raised his hand. Seeing the golden light flashing on her wrist, it should also be a red gold bracelet.

It's really a golden glitter. Ordinary people will look tacky if they wear too much gold, but this princess Ding is not visible when she wears it like this. Is it a good match or can the temperament of this princess be controlled?

Because of the distraction of thinking about things, Guan didn't pay much attention to the image, until he met Princess Ding's inquiring eyes, then he was shocked to realize that he was staring directly at people up and down, which is very impolite behavior, in a hurry, seeing that Princess Ding's sideburns are very delicate, he can only casually find an excuse to boast, "The beads on Princess Ding's sideburns are so chic, which gold shop made them?"

Su Yiqing raised her hand and stroked the sideburns, sprinkled with gold beads, begonia beads, and said with a smile: "Dongdajie Duobaozhai." ”

This is really casual nonsense, she doesn't know where this pearl flower is played, this is also a thing in the Dingwangfu, after getting married, even Yufeng ordered people to send a lot of clothes and jewelry, saying that it is the latest style in the city this year, and it can be used for entertainment in the future, so as not to wear it and be laughed at, misunderstand that she has no status in the palace will inevitably be looked down on by some power villains and then throw off her face, she wants to be interested in choosing her own dress, or if she is not interested, she will throw it to the maids and women to cook, green vine and radish grass are experts in this area, listen to them can not be wrong。

How could she pay attention to which house made this pearl flower now? I only remember the names of some of the more famous gold shops and jewelry stores in the city, as well as the main products of their shops, which are the common sense of noble ladies, and they do not need to be proficient but still need to understand something, so as not to be unable to answer a word when talking to others.

"Then I'm going to visit another day to see if there's anything like it. Guan said with a smile, "Is the princess interested in coming along?"

"If the eleventh sister-in-law has convenient time, I naturally have no problem. Su Yiqing said yes, but her tone was very polite, and she didn't feel close.

Guan was still smiling on his face, but he felt a little aggrieved in his heart, although his identity was not as high as the new princess, but after all, he was a few years older, but after a few words, she had a feeling that she was in a hurry to slap the other party and was perfunctory.

Before the mother-in-law beside the grandmother tactfully told her, today's banquet guests should be cautious to entertain the two people, one is the Mongolian Xiangshan princess, the other is the new princess, the Mongolian Xiangshan princess was personally greeted by the mother-in-law, it stands to reason that the princess should be greeted by the sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law said that she wanted to stay in the flower hall to entertain many female dependents, can not be separated to greet a person, pushed the matter to her, she didn't think so much at the time, should come down, the grandmother around reminded that this is a little snub to the princess, to determine the princess is a small person is afraid that it will be displeased。

Guan Shi is a little late realize, but he has already responded, and there is no way, and now it is really not a good errand.

As he spoke, the flower hall had arrived.

The moment Su Yiqing entered the door, there was a few seconds of silence in the flower hall, and all kinds of scrutiny looked like her, but it was only a few seconds, and then the previous liveliness was restored, and the ladies didn't seem to care, after all, it was a noblewoman, and it was inevitable that others would have a share in the public.

Guan just wanted to lead Su Yiqing to the main table. As a result, she found that there was already someone sitting in the place where the princess should have been sitting, and it was Mrs. Hou chatting with everyone casually, and she hurriedly turned her eyes to her sister-in-law. The sister-in-law pretended not to see her eyes asking for help, and Guan's forehead suddenly sweated. The position of others sat down, but which Mrs. Hou is sitting now is her distant relative, usually not much contact, but seriously count her mother's family, there is this kind of mistake, she was the first to be blamed afterwards, and now there is still one seat left at the table, but it is reserved for Princess Xiangshan, if the princess sits on it. What should I do with Princess Xiangshan? Now I can't stop if I want to, and I'm in a dilemma.

"Princess Ding, sit here. ”

A voice relieved the Guan family's encirclement, she hurriedly looked sideways, and it was the Li family from the Guojun Wangfu who greeted her with a smile, and there was an empty seat next to the Li family, and there was nothing left at the moment, so she hurriedly led Su Yiqing over.

Su Yiqing looked over, the Li family had seen it that day, and the noble lady in the circle next to her was very unfamiliar. It seems that they should be relatives of the Guojun Palace, and since the Li family came on the day she would kiss, then they can be regarded as relatively close relatives. There is also the Li family personally greeting, and it is not wrong to sit at their table, but looking at the dress of the people at this table, it seems that the grade is not high enough, and the old lady Xue did not come, and there should be no princess of Guojun.

Of course, now is not the time to be picky, not to mention that the Li family must have seen something wrong, so he spoke out to solve the siege, so Su Yiqing walked over slowly. Nodding slightly at the Li family, he was grateful.

Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For fear that there will be any more trouble, I will briefly introduce a few words. I found an excuse to go to another table to greet the guests.

There are not many people at this table, except for the younger sister-in-law of King Guojun, Li, and Li's aunt, Mrs. An Lingbo, and Li's sister, Mrs. Li, the wife of the prince of An Lingbo's mansion, Da Li's daughter-in-law, Kong, and a Mrs. Yu, I don't know which one for the time being.

Li Shi is about to be in her early sixties, and her face is a little dull and stern at first glance, but judging from the experience that Su Yiqing has seen and accumulated over the years, this is another woman who has been polished by the cruel life in the back house, and she is no longer very attentive to the surrounding her, and the so-called strictness is just indifference.

Later events proved that Su Yiqing's judgment was correct, Mrs. An Lingbo's Li really didn't talk much during the banquet, their table was not full, and the Li family was not good at talking, but the Kong family was quite eloquent, and sang with Mrs. Yu to drive the topic, which made their table not cold.

After a while, another maid came to report that the six princesses came.

There was another whisper in the flower hall, and then Princess Guojun accompanied Princess Xiangshan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, to come in, which was different from Su Yiqing's previous arrival, several ladies smiled and stepped forward to say hello, and Princess Guojun led Princess Xiangshan all the way to the main table.

When passing by this table, Princess Xiangshan smiled and nodded towards this side seemingly unintentionally, of course, Princess Xiangshan had a flawless smile all the way, and seemed to smile just right for everyone.

With just one glance, Su Yiqing felt that such a person was easy to win the favor of others, and this Xiangshan princess Gu Pan made people feel that she valued everyone, even if her status was a little worse, she felt the gaze of the princess Lixian.

Very early on, Su Yiqing knew that in this world, even if she smiled slightly, she needed to pay attention, it was not wrong to be generous to others and others, but sometimes she had to grasp a degree, and the posture was too misleading and weak or too kind-hearted, and some people who had no eyes would be cheeky and surround them, and it was better to refuse to offend people ruthlessly, than to hold the shelf at the beginning, people were at most a little dissatisfied.

Princess Xiangshan is now just right, giving people the impression that the superior is approachable, but the superior is still the superior after all, and no one will think that she is on the same level as her because of this smile.

It's a character, Su Yiqing secretly thought, those who have come all the way to make peace, most of them are carefully selected, not to mention their appearance, and their resourcefulness is even more top-notch, after all, their country or clan hopes that they can hold up a piece of the sky here, if they can't gain a firm foothold, they will lose their wives and lose their soldiers.

The table was very close to theirs.

Su Yiqing glanced sideways slightly, only to hear that the people at that table were holding Princess Xiangshan, and couldn't help but admire, this is not something that can be done by the identity of a sixth princess or the princess of the Great Zhou Alliance, after all, these noblewomen are also far away from the court, no matter how noble the identity of Princess Xiangshan is, there are also people who have nothing to do with her, this is probably a matter of personal skill or charm.

The new daughter-in-law who got married a day apart, in comparison. She is far worse than the princess, because when it comes to her husband, even the royal wind in terms of identity and power is not worse than the weak crown of the six princes. At present, even Yufeng is in real power. is far better than the six princes, it stands to reason that she, the princess, should also be the object of everyone's scolding, but she was left out in the cold, this is her personal problem, no wonder anyone.

Thinking about it like this, Su Yiqing didn't know what to do, and suddenly had the idea of wanting to fight for her strength, even if it wasn't for herself. It also has to be for the sake of resisting the wind, and the burden on the shoulders of the women of the ancient back house is also very heavy, and they can't ignore anything, which makes people despise.

After having this thought, Su Yiqing pondered for a while, and remembered what Lian Yufeng said, originally she didn't want to be relieved of the little slackness of the Wenjun Palace, but she suddenly felt that it seemed necessary to fight back, what reason should she find? The maid served exquisite dishes one after another.

Su Yiqing's eyes lit up when she saw one of the fried chicken rolls with pears, this was a good start.

So I tasted it. After that, he pretended to like it very much, and exclaimed, "This pear is really good, very sweet." ”

Li Shi immediately tasted it and said: "It's very good, but it's not greasy at all with the chicken, it completely retains the sweetness of the pear, and the chicken is also very tender." ”

Mrs. Yu said: "This is the honey pear of Longxian, right? It is said that the honey pear of Longxian County is famous for its sweetness and refreshingness, but unfortunately the output is small, and generally only the powerful families in the capital can buy it, and other money cannot buy it." I ate at my aunt's house once in the capital when I was a child, and I have always been unforgettable. Pears are not so sweet anywhere else. ”

Kong also echoed: "The pears in Longxian County are the powerful homes of the capital, and sometimes it is difficult to buy, and this year in our house is the blessing of the princess." Send us a basket, don't tell you, our old lady likes to eat pears, especially the honey pears of Longxian County, the old housekeeper in our house who specializes in purchasing fruits returned to his hometown last year, and this year's new steward is not familiar with the purchase of these rare fruits, somehow, this year I didn't buy Longxian honey pears, the old lady is still chattering, losing the princess, otherwise the old man will have to talk for a few days to try it. ”

Kong's words are purely flattery, admitting personal feelings to shorten the distance between each other, isn't it just a basket of pears, this Longxian honey pear is good, but it is not precious to such a point, but Su Yiqing waited for this sentence, and said: "I can't blame the steward of your house, this year Longxian County suffered a disaster, and most of the pear trees were flooded, so this year's Longxian pears are extremely rare, and our house is planted a little bit on the relatively high mountain in Longxian, and the water is not flooded, so there is." ”

Mrs. Yu said curiously: "Is there a flood in Longxian? Why don't I know? Our lord has just come from Fengzhou, near Longxian, and we haven't heard of any disasters along the way." ”

"We haven't heard either, is Princess Ding misremembering?" Kong answered, "I heard that this year's weather is smooth and the harvest is abundant." ”

Su Yiqing pretended to reminisce and paused before saying: "It shouldn't be a natural disaster, it seems that the Ming River flowing through Longxian County has burst its embankment." ”

"The Ming River is not a big river, and there is no big flood this year, how can it burst the embankment?" asked Mrs. Yu next.

"That's because ......" Su Yiqing only said a few words, and suddenly seemed to react to something, subconsciously looked around, pursed her lips and smiled, "Oh, everyone hasn't heard of it, it's probably because I remembered or heard it wrong, this kind of thing is not good to hearsay, don't talk about these uninteresting topics at the wedding banquet, this chestnut soup looks good, what do you think?." ”

In the end, it's none of my business, everyone is curious, I don't want to say more, although I still have some curiosity, but I don't ask about it, if you have the heart, you can go back to the house to inquire later, there are more channels for this kind of thing to inquire, and continue to talk goodbye to the topic that has been opened.

Su Yiqing pretended to chat with Mrs. Yu, tilted her head slightly, and the corner of her eyes aimed at the opposite table, sure enough, the princess of Wenjun Wang Shi, Duan's expression, was stunned, as if she was thinking about something, the atmosphere at that table has been very warm, Princess Xiangshan is also a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, although she is not a talkative person, but every sentence can talk about the topic of the guide on the point, and it is just right, although she is of different race, she is also full of poetry and books and is well-informed, and it is also because Princess Xiangshan is there, and everyone did not notice Duan's sudden silence for a while.

After a while, Su Yiqing saw that the Duan family couldn't sit still, so she made an excuse to leave the table.

At the moment of looking at the past, she met the charming eyes of Princess Xiangshan, and after instant eye contact, Princess Xiangshan smiled slightly, looking like she knew it in her heart.

Su Yiqing suddenly had the feeling that her trick had been discovered.

In the small flower hall in the back garden, Duan's elder brother who was called in a hurry, Duan Zilang listened to his sister's words, and immediately became anxious, and asked, "Did you really hear clearly?"

Duan said: "That Princess Ding and I are not at the same table, I didn't pay attention to it at all, until Longxian heard the Ming River again, and I didn't pay attention to the words "breaking the embankment", after I paid attention, Princess Ding seemed to be alert, so she changed the topic and stopped mentioning it." ”

Duan Zilang anxiously walked a few steps in the flower hall, and then asked Duan, "No, you have to find a way to ask again, this matter is very important." ”

Duan Shi was a little embarrassed: "The banquet has begun, and after eating, they will disperse, even if they don't disperse, in front of so many people, asking it is also equivalent to publicizing the matter." ”

"Then find a chance to talk alone. Duan Zilang said without difficulty, "Eldest sister, isn't this what you're best at? I won't tell you, this matter can be big or small, if we don't get it, our Duan family will be planted in it, you must be careful." ”

"But brother...... The last time I heard you say that your brother-in-law was appointed as the county magistrate of Longxian County four or five years ago, even if there was an omission in the river, after so many years, the responsibility should not be on your brother-in-law, right?"

"What do you know, this riverbank is the most taboo in the court, if you don't expose it, it's just that, once it is exposed, you must be punished severely. "Duan Zilang is very irritable, there are some things that he can't say much even to his sister, and his temper is very bad.

The Duan family was also a little displeased, he didn't let her know anything, and let her go to the activity, you must know that she had just given Princess Meng a stumbling block, and now she wanted her to flatter this lowly concubine, how could she do it?

Duan Zilang knew a little bit about his sister, and suddenly said with a cold face: "Sister, I know that you are now noble, but don't forget, you can sit firmly in the position of this princess, and even if you can be the prince of this world, our Duan family has also made great efforts, what kind of clan does the Duan family want, can you still be so beautiful as the princess? Not to mention anything else, just your mother-in-law and concubine's face are enough for you." ”

When it comes to her mother-in-law, Duan's has no temper, she is not as good as the second child in terms of talent and learning, and she is not as good as the youngest third child in terms of favor, just accounting for a long time, and her mother-in-law is strong and several women are fighting openly and secretly, if it weren't for the talents of her mother's family, she would have to be crushed to death.

If something happens to her mother's family, if nothing else, just a few schadenfreude glances will be enough for her.

When Duan returned to the banquet, the banquet was nearing the end, she didn't appear during the banquet and no one cared, but the concubine Guan was more comfortable and talked energetically, a woman from a scholarly family, as long as she didn't show off, her words were much more vivid than others, and she was quite in the limelight.

Duan's was depressed, but she had something in her heart, and she couldn't lift her spirit to steal the limelight, so she could only let Guan play her role, but she secretly paid attention to the situation at the table next door.

Mrs. Yu at the next table is obviously also talkative, probably because Princess Ding is from a humble background and does not know much, so she did not talk about clothing and jewelry, but talked about the customs and customs of various places, and said it interestingly.

Until the end of the banquet, the Duan family didn't find a chance to talk to Su Yiqing, firstly, there were many guests, and people kept coming to congratulate her, secondly, she took care of her identity, and it was not good for people to say that she took the initiative to post it, besides, she was also afraid that this lowly concubine would not know how to advance and retreat, and it would be a shame to give her a look in public.

Just like that, as soon as she hesitated, there was a lady who was entangled in trivial matters and couldn't stay for a long time to leave, and then, Su Yiqing also said a few words lightly to the Guan family who brought her in, and then said goodbye. (To be continued)
