Chapter 121: Going to the Banquet
Time flies, and nearly a month has passed since King Yong'an left Beijing and returned to northern Xinjiang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Estimating the itinerary, King Yong'an had arrived at Shanyin City, where the soldiers were stationed on the border.
And the eldest princess of Changning closely followed the footsteps of King Yong'an and arrived at the exquisite residence she had purchased in Shanyin City.
Su is also preparing for the wedding in an orderly manner.
The Dragon Boat Festival has passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Su Zhai received a post that the eldest daughter of King Ning, the lord of Roujia County, will hold a ceremony on May 20, and asked Su to bring his daughter to watch the ceremony.
The girl in the boudoir who is to be married in the Da Yi Dynasty, after she has decided to marry, rarely walks around outside, and the Su family is a body of harmony and separation, so she is not subject to this restriction.
In addition, although King Ning is a few years older than Emperor Xilong, he is the uncle of Emperor Xilong, and he is a prince who is highly relied on by the previous emperor.
After the Su family married Queen Yong'an, they had to deal with the royal family and nobles.
After all, Princess Ning and her used to have a handkerchief, and the two had a friendship in the past, and the reason why she handed her a post this time was probably to take this opportunity to let her get familiar with an important clan girl first, so as not to be too cramped when she got married in the future.
Su Shi was grateful for Princess Ning's kindness, and he couldn't refuse.
A few days later, in Shanyin City, the eldest princess of Changning heard the report of her confidant eunuch, and the Su family accepted the post and agreed to attend the peace ceremony of the lord of Roujia, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a light smile.
"Follow our previous plan." The eldest princess of Changning looked at her confidant eunuch and said, "Don't leak a trace of rumors and let King Yong'an's people know!" ”
"Yes." The confidant eunuch complied.
The eldest princess of Changning got up and packed her bags, "I haven't seen the prince for months." I have to let him understand my sincerity. ”
As he spoke, he instructed the girl to prepare hot water, bathe and change clothes, change into a flowing robe as white as snow, evenly apply grease powder, lightly sweep Emei, and comb a gentle and tranquil hanging bun.
The eldest princess of Changning looked at her outfit without a trace of flaws in the smooth mirror, and gently pursed the corners of her lips, revealing a shy smile like a girl.
Holding the handmaid's arm, the lotus step moved lightly, like a sedan chair, carried by the sedan chair man, and slowly went to the mansion of King Yong'an.
Like the house in Beijing, the residence of King Yong'an in Shanyin City is just a very ordinary two-entry house, and there is nothing in front of the door except two heavy wooden doors.
There is also no plaque on the lintel.
The eldest princess of Changning stepped down from the sedan chair, stood in front of the door, and knocked on the door by the girl.
An old man who described him as old, blindfolded, bent over his waist, and lame with half a leg, opened the door, glanced at the eldest princess of Changning and her party a few times with his neck tilted, and said in a hoarse voice: "The general is in the barracks, I don't know what to do." ”
Even though she had blocked King Yong'an several times in front of this door, the old man who guarded the door could always look at her as if she were facing a stranger she didn't know.
I really don't know whether to say that he has bad eyes, or if he is too forgetful, or if he doesn't take her seriously at all.
The eldest princess of Changning smiled, looked at the old man and said, "I wonder when the prince will come back?" ”
The old man tilted his head and pointed the eye that was not blind at her, "The general will not reply." All the time in the barracks. ”
The smile on the face of the eldest princess of Changning was slightly stiff.
The barracks are important, and women are forbidden to enter, even if she is the eldest princess of the dynasty.
This is an ironclad law.
And the eldest princess of Changning had no doubt that if she dared to trespass into the barracks, King Yong'an would dare to knock her down with a single shot without blinking.
This man is ruthless, and he really calls him ruthless.
"Don't worry, I'll wait here. Believe in my true feelings, one day I will be able to impress the general. ”
The eldest princess of Changning regained her gentle smile, and her posture was really straight, not afraid of the eyes of passers-by, and stood leisurely on the bluestone slab ground in front of the door.
"Please." As he spoke, the old man returned to the house, slowly closed the door, inserted the latch, and ignored the group outside the house.
Two hours passed, and in the middle of the day, the eldest princess of Changning turned around and returned to the sedan chair.
On the second day, at the same time, she appeared at the residence of King Yong'an again, and still told the girl to knock on the door, and after getting the same reply, she ordered the girl to move a pestle and a small table, and sat down in front of the door to drink tea, so that she was not at ease.
Day 3...
Day 4...
Day 5...
King Yong'an still never appeared, and the eldest princess of Changning was neither angry nor annoyed, and she was calm and relaxed like never before.
When she was secretly competing with this man, the Roujia County Lord's salute came as scheduled.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gradually became hot.
Some pretty girls have already changed into a coat made of light gauze like smoke and mist, covering the outside of the well-tailored middle coat, making the graceful figure loom and adding a feminine style unique to women.
May 20, a breezy and sunny day.
Chu Yuning took Su's arm, led by the girl from King Ning's Mansion, and went to the flower hall where the guests were entertained in the inner house.
The beads in the hall are green, and the warblers sing and dance with the swallows, which is particularly lively.
The lord of Roujia was born to the concubine of King Ning, just like her title, chaste and supple, dignified and decent, everyone praised Princess Ning for her teaching, but omitted the biological mother of the lord of Roujia.
and the ceremony, that is, the feast and drink.
Princess Ning deliberately arranged the Su family at the table of the clan, and the people who sat at the same table with Chu Yuning were also some noble county lords, county lords, or princesses.
Chu Yuning has been busy dealing with copper odor over the years, and except for Xue Yongyi, there are few friends who have interacted too closely.
The three or two fox friends in the first life were deliberately estranged because of their own changes in the second life.
In the second life, Xu is mind was all devoted to Lan Zhou, and because he was a few years older after all, when Chu Yu was in the boudoir, he didn't hand over a few handkerchiefs.
Reborn again, she devoted herself to paving the way for the future, and she was busy talking about business when she went out, and rarely socialized with people.
Therefore, on the banquet, most of these smiling and vivid girls Chu Yuning didn't know them, and few of them felt familiar, and they couldn't tell who was who.
Fortunately, the county lord of Roujia was also at the table, since King Yong'an and the Su family made a marriage, Princess Ning re-established herself with the Su family, and the county lord of Roujia also followed Princess Ning to the Su Mansion several times, and she was quite familiar with Chu Yuning.
Afraid that Chu Yuning would be cramped, he took the initiative to introduce everyone to Chu Yuning.
"This is the county lord of Wenyi, the aunt of the eldest princess of Yongning." The county lord of Roujia introduced Chu Yuning to Chu Yuning, a young girl who was round and jade, and was noble.
King Inning is the youngest uncle in the world. Therefore, in the generation of the county lord of Roujia, the girl in the boudoir who has not yet left the pavilion is the only young daughter of the eldest princess of Yongning, the princess of Wenyi, who was born by Emperor Xilong's mother.
According to the etiquette system, the daughter of the princess is slightly lower than the daughter of the prince, and she can be named the county lord.
The fact that Lord Wenyi was able to obtain this title shows that her mother has a very good relationship with Emperor Xilong, and she herself is also very loved by Emperor Xilong.
"This is Miss Chu." The county lord of Roujia pointed to Chu Yuning and introduced it to the county lord of Wenyi.
The county lord of Wenyi looked at Chu Yuning with a smile and said, "I know you." Sister Xue is the lady Wen from your house who worships as a teacher. ”
Listening to the familiar and natural tone of the county lord of Wenyi, it turned out that he had a close relationship with Xue Yongyi.
"It turned out to be you." During the banquet, another girl looked at Chu Yuning with curious eyes, "Sister Xue has been away from Beijing for two years, and I heard that she went to Northern Xinjiang a few days ago, and I don't know if I can adapt to the climate of the Northern Land. ”
Chu Yu Ning was again, and it was a handkerchief handed over by Xue swimsuit.
Chu Yuning smiled at the county lord of Wenyi first, "Mrs. Wen is our benefactor, so she lives in the Su Mansion. He said to the girl with a clear and clear eye: "Sister Xue has a tough temperament and can endure the hardships that ordinary people can't bear. ”
The girl nodded, her eyes full of admiration.
"I rarely saw my sister come out to the banquet before, but I can move around more in the future." Lord Wen Yi looked at Chu Yuning and smiled.
Chu Yuning nodded with a smile, "Okay." ”
While the banquet was enjoying itself, a sudden exclamation came from the chief of the Su family and Princess Ning.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the table.
