At the end of March, when the grass grows and the warbler flies in the south of the Yangtze River, and the apricot blossoms are sparsely rained, although the breath of spring in the capital is getting stronger and stronger, it is still expected to be cold in spring.

On the day of the banquet in the Qi Palace, when I got up early in the morning, the sky was overcast, and two wisps of rain came down from time to time, and when Qin's mother saw it, she tied a plain brocade thin cotton cloak with a cloudy face to Lanxi, and complained at the same time, "This weather is really good." Yesterday it was very fine, but it was going out, but it changed the sky, why did it rain? ”

"Mom, don't worry, I'm dressed warmly, and I won't let myself catch a cold." Lan Xi laughed when she heard this, knowing that Mother Qin cared about her. After all, Mother Qin values her body the most, and has been helping her carefully recuperate for so many years, her little life has not left, and she is most afraid of catching a cold. That's why Mother Qin saw that it was raining today, and her face was cloudy, just like this day, and it had never sunny.

"Yes! Isn't there still me with Ling Yue and July? If mom is really not at ease, then go with her. Liuyan poked his head out from behind the two of them and said with a smile.

Mother Qin glanced at her, "If I go, who in this mansion will watch?" You guys, take good care of your wife, otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful and punishing you heavily. ”

"Mom, don't worry! A few of them are safe, and I will be careful myself. Lan Xi knew that Mother Qin's stay in the mansion was purely for her good. She just married into this mansion, although Qingpingju has Mother Xue, but what is happening to Mother Xue now, it remains to be seen, even if she is loyal to Geng Xiwu, but she may not have the same heart as Lanxi, and although Lanxi took advantage of the time to take charge of the family that day, she shocked the descendants of Qingpingju, but after all, the foundation is still shallow, and among the people brought by Lanxi, only Qin's mother can still shake the field a little, so she naturally has to stay.

Lan Xi was grateful for Mother Qin's intentions, and naturally didn't want her to worry too much, so she promised sincerely.

But how did she know that Mother Qin stayed not only because of this. Watching the carriage of the Jingbei Hou Mansion carrying Lan Xi and Geng Xiruo's aunt and sister-in-law away, Qin's mother's face sank, and she said to the pillow next to her, "Madame is not here, those two in the backyard are afraid that they are going to take the opportunity to do something, you go and quietly inform Yingfeng and let her take a closer look at the outside and the inside, I want to see what the idea is." ”

Lan Xi didn't know anything about this, and pulled Geng Xiruo's hand in the carriage and said, "Thank you!" Second sister! You were already busy preparing for marriage, and I pulled you out. It's really the first time I've seen Princess Qi, and I don't have anyone I know by my side, so I really don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Geng Xiruo naturally knew that her sister-in-law was not the cowardly and childish character, and she could still advance and retreat freely in the face of the nobles in the hall, not to mention that it was just a Qi Palace, and it was not a Longtan Tiger's Den, how could she be afraid? It's just that I'm just looking for a reason to bring her out, otherwise, Mrs. Hou may not be allowed! Geng Xiruo admitted her affection, took her hand, and reciprocated, "I want to thank my fourth sister-in-law for bringing me out!" If you want to say that this princess Qi is my cousin and sister-in-law on weekdays, she is the most kind person, you don't have to worry. ”

Lan Xi was naturally not really worried, but just smiled, and the two turned to gossip about other things.

The Qi Wangfu is also in Lingyunfang, but it is only two streets away from the Jingbei Hou Mansion, so the carriage traveled for more than a quarter of an hour, and the two sisters-in-law said a few words, and the carriage has slowed down, and the Qi Wangfu has arrived.

Lan Xi thought that he had come early enough, but quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, the middle door of the palace was wide open, and there was already a lot of traffic in front of the door, and the crowd was noisy. Lan Xi sighed secretly, no matter what, after all, it is the son of the dragon and the phoenix, no matter how low-key it is, where can it be low-key? This is just a small flower banquet, and half of the people in the capital are afraid that they are alarmed. However, it is also understandable that there are not many princes in the saint, and the few adult princes are also uneven, except for King An, the eldest son, the second-ranked King Qi is the most powerful candidate for the prince. After all, King An's mother is the queen, and she has the backing of the Jia family, but the king of Qi is not bad, the biological mother Hui Guifei, and the adoptive mother Xianfei are siblings, all of whom are from the Geng family of a double marquis, and the Geng family holds half of the military power in Daqing. If nothing else, the position of the prince was born between King An and King Qi, although the saint did not like the ministers to form parties for personal gain, but normal communication was still happy to see it.

The palace of the king of Qi held a banquet, and when he received the post, he naturally had to appreciate his face, and it was not nice to say, if he didn't take advantage of this time, when would he stammer? It's above board! Even if it is not the King of Qi who ascends to the throne in the future, the new emperor can't ask for guilt because of this, right?

Lan Xi thought he understood everyone, but looking at the endless stream of people and carriages, he couldn't help but spit out Lan Yan's tongue, "There are so many people! "It's not like she's never seen the world, but the battle in the Lan Mansion can't match the Wangfu in any way!

Geng Xiruo was obviously used to seeing it, his face was not different, but he was amused by the rare surprised look of Lan Xi, who had always been calm and calm, and bent the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

Fortunately, the housekeeper of the palace recognized the carriage of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and soon, someone came over and took them into the mansion. Lan Xi couldn't help but wonder, it's easy to do things if you have acquaintances! Look at the long queue over there, but they have already entered the mansion as a privileged class.

King Qi's mansion is really full of guests. Walking all the way to the inner courtyard, the clothes were fragrant and the temples were shadowy, and most of the women and girls who had been carefully dressed up greeted Lan Xi and Geng Xiruo's aunt and sister-in-law with a smile. Geng Xiruo's usual cold expression nodded and stopped, and Lan Xi has an extraordinary memory, and he had expected this day earlier, so many people who have only had a relationship with one side can also accurately call others, and say two words of greeting, so that those who are already flattering are flattered, and those who are proud of themselves are involuntarily two points closer. It's just between words, but it's not deliberate, and the smile is just right, neither too close, but it doesn't make people feel just polite.

Geng Xiruo saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, his sister-in-law is really powerful. It's a pity that she can't do this even if she becomes a parent.

When he finally walked to the main hall where Princess Qi was entertaining, a lot of time had passed. The atmosphere in this main hall is far less lively than outside. At first glance, there are many acquaintances, Princess Anping, Princess An, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Zhuguohou...... All of them have the posture of a noble lady, although they are also smiling and gossiping, but most of them have something to say, even if they are relatives of a family, they are not as enthusiastic as outside.

As soon as Lan Xi and Geng Xiruo entered the door, Princess Qi, who was sitting on the main seat, had already stood up and personally greeted the guests, and said with a smile in her mouth, "My cousin and cousin are here, come!" Come in and sit down. ”
