Chapter 9: The Princess's Banquet
The county lord of Dongping and Wang Yan looked for all kinds of tricks to play for nearly a day, until the evening Huai'an Wang Shizi came to pick up in person, Dongping only reluctantly said goodbye with a few jars of plum blossom wine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the lord of Dongping left, Wang Yan thought about it, called Qianhe again, and taught her to lead people to send a few jars of plum blossom wine to Qinglong Temple, Great Compassion Temple and Xuandu Temple tomorrow. Then he went back to the house, flipped through the book, and rested and fell asleep.
The first day of the lunar month is the birthday of Princess Wuyang, the eldest daughter of the first emperor.
Since the day of her rebirth, Wang Yan has been concerned about this day every day.
Every year on this day, the princess's mansion is very lively.
As the maid entered the main hall, she saw the elders of the Sun family and several sisters-in-law at a glance, as well as the sister-in-law Mu from Jiangnan.
The two sisters-in-law of the Sun family who met in the West Market that day were among them. One is Sun Shaozu's sister Sun Shaoxian, and the other should be Sun Shaoxiang, the youngest daughter of her family's second room. The two of them have always been good friends and often play together, but since Murong came from Jiangnan, the relationship has gradually become estranged.
Personally, Wang Yan likes that Sun Shaoxiang very much, although she is a daughter, she has a heroic spirit, and she is straightforward. Probably because he grew up in Chang'an, both men and women in Chang'an are trained in riding and shooting, which is different from the noble girls who grew up in Jiangnan.
Sun Shaoxian is a little similar to Na Murong, although he has Xianbei blood, because Sun Shaoxian has only come to Chang'an with his family in the past few years, so he is full of delicate habits of Jiangnan women, and he has never recognized the cheerfulness and heroism of Chang'an women. Of course, for Wang Yan, the biggest thing they have in common is that they can't get used to her Wang Yan. In fact, Sun Shaoxian is not unaccustomed to Wang Chang, but Murong is not used to it, and Murong is not used to Wang Chang because he likes Sun Shaozu. I like it, but I like it, but I like it, Sun Shaozu is still Mrs. Sun Shaozu's position, which has to be said separately. Wang Yan didn't feel her infatuation with Sun Shaozu. In the previous life, in addition to this princess's banquet to teach Wang Yan to suffer a big loss, her methods did not prevent her from marrying Wang Shaozu. After they got married, Murong immediately married someone else.
I don't know if it's because of my own identity or because my family doesn't allow it, or because I noticed that Sun Shaozu didn't like her? However, the family she married in the past also heard about these things that she did not leave the cabinet, and she was a little unhappy, and heard that Murong was not living well in that family. Fortunately, she has some means, she heard that Murong's marriage, and in the past few years, she was still beautiful and a little circled. I didn't pay attention to what happened after that.
Several elders of the Sun family saw her, and she couldn't go away, so she stepped forward to say a few words.
"Fifth brother, that daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door? I'm getting more and more handsome. A woman looked at her with a smile and said, Wang Yan recognized her as the second wife of the Sun family, who was Sun Shaoxiang's mother.
Sun Shaozu's mother Mu Shi saw her, her face suddenly turned a little cold, and when she heard the words of Mrs. Erfang, she only said absent-mindedly: "It's my son's blessing." ”
Wang Yan listened like this, as if she was talking about bad luck, and she didn't take it to heart, anyway, this Mu family couldn't get used to her. Mu Shi originally wanted her niece Murong to be her daughter-in-law, but Sun Shaozu and his father didn't know who he listened to, so he didn't agree, and then he went to the Wang family to ask for a family matter; Moreover, Wang Yan has a good background, and her father is one of the most powerful ministers today, and Mu's mother-in-law is not easy to handle her. This marriage really made Mu Shi angry.
Wang Yan didn't want to be bored in front of her, so she only said a few words of greeting and went out under the pretext.
Over there, Sun Shaoxian and Murong also accompanied a few sisters-in-law, walked out, saw Wang Yan, and called loudly: "Sister Wang? ”
Wang Yan stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Why don't you join us, sister?" Sun Shaoxian asked.
Wang Yan paused and refused without hesitation.
Walking with those two? Why torture each other?
It's just that she didn't notice that when she walked away, Murong was still looking at her with a sneer.
Wang Yan only took Mother Li, Forsythia and Yam by her mother's side to go out today, when she stopped, turned her head and said to Yam: "You find the county lord of Dongping and let her come to the east side room now." “
"Yes." Yam replied without hesitation.
Forsythia immediately sensed that something was wrong, but looked at Wang Yan and Yam, and finally did not speak. After returning from the mountain, Wang Chang gave her a very strange feeling, which made her a little uneasy, as if Wang Chang understood a lot and was a lot more powerful at once.
Wang Yan secretly paid attention to Forsythia, she was indeed not as good as before these days, she was much quieter, and she actually felt a little decadent. Wang Yan looked at it, and her heart softened, after all, she is a person who has lived two lives, although she has no biological children, but she has also brought up a few girls, and now she looks at Forsythia, a little confused, and she is still a little distressed. But climbing into bed is a thorn that she can't go to no matter what.
Mother Li was also sighing, she had experienced too many things, and she was shrewd, so she naturally saw that Mu and Sun Shaoxian did not like Wang Yan, and suddenly became a little worried about Wang Yan's future. In the past, in front of Xie's family, Mu Shi didn't have so many colors to see, and she didn't take the initiative to entertain guests on weekdays, so Li's mother recognized Mu Shi, but Mu Shi didn't recognize her, so she taught her to see her face clearly today.
There were also a few groups of people who were laughing in the side room, and Wang Yan glanced at it, and returned to a few relatives of the Wang family. Her mother, Xie, did not come, her mother was afraid of cold and sick, and after the winter, she did not go out easily. And this kind of banquet, since she was married, she was allowed to participate with several elders in the clan, and one person represented the palace.
A group of people who were talking, when they saw Wang Yan, greeted her one after another and talked around her. Wang Yan smiled and responded, but in her mind, she remembered how they were afraid to avoid the banquet in the previous life, and her heart became colder and colder.
Finally, I heard a shout: "Princess Wuyang has arrived-"
I saw the princess walking slowly from outside the hall, wearing a light cyan narrow-sleeved shirt, a white shawl on her shoulders, a gold-striped red skirt, and a little plum blossom between her eyebrows, looking cold and arrogant. The servants behind him are like clouds, and they have a great royal aura.
The ladies and sisters-in-law also came out one after another, and they were ready to sit down.
"Sister-in-law Wang, your sachet has dropped ......"
A strange maidservant suddenly spoke loudly, and everyone looked at them in amazement.
Here it comes.
Wang Yan turned around and looked at the servant girl coldly.
I saw the maid pick up the sachet, but she screamed again.
When everyone saw what was spilled in the sachet, their faces changed.
It's five stones!
Wang Yan looked directly at the handmaiden's hand that seemed to tremble, and did not make contact, but took a step back.
"It's not my sachet."
The voice was unusually cold and firm, and it could be heard very clearly in the lobby, which was already silent at this time.
No one replied.
Wang Yan looked at Duke Wuyang with a slightly disgusted and gloating look, and her voice raised a few points, "Please come down and find out who is trying to frame me." ”
As the daughter of a powerful minister, she has never been very friendly with these royal powers, both parties are high-powered, and naturally no one looks down on anyone. Only the Dongping County Lord is an exception.
Princess Wuyang said with a smile: "Oh? Are you saying that the maidservants of my house are going to frame you? ”
"Your Highness recognizes this servant?" Wang Yan's face did not change color, and she pointed to the servant girl who was kneeling and trembling, and asked rhetorically.
Princess Wuyang walked over slowly, looked at the servant girl carefully, frowned slightly, seemed to be a little disappointed, shook her head and said, "I don't recognize." ”
Wang Yan nodded, approached the maidservant, and asked, "Are you sure this is my sachet?" “
The maid's face turned a little pale, her voice trembled, but she insisted: "The slave only saw that something seemed to have fallen off the sister-in-law's body, and then saw this sachet, so he reminded the sister-in-law." “
