"My cousin said it very well! Some people are frogs at the bottom of the well and dare to look down on others, and they don't look at it, aren't the calligraphy and paintings sent by the queen mother embroidered on the cloth? Ignorance is not a sin, but it is not very good-looking to come out and lose face......" Before Yun Ting's words fell, she heard a clear voice coming from a distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the prestige, I saw a dignified and elegant middle-aged lady standing at the door, wearing a dark blue brocade long skirt, a little white plum embroidered on the skirt, the breeze blowing, there seems to be a plum fragrance undercurrent, the white brocade is tied around the waist and the waist, the pale yellow jade beads inlaid with silver thread are shining, and the colorful tassel palace silk that falls on the waist complement each other, it is very dazzling.

Her hand lightly supported a young girl in a pale pink silk shirt, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a naughty look on her face, and her phoenix eyes were round and angry but cute.

Xi Cui recognized them, the young girl was the princess of Chaoyang who had a two-sided relationship, and it was this one who spoke just now, and the lady standing next to her was Princess Li, Nangong Yufeng's mother.

The two of them walked forward surrounded by the maids, and the Liu family hurriedly got up to greet them, and the Wang sisters naturally followed. Almost everyone present had to stand up and greet them, except for the queen, who was still sitting firmly.

Princess Chaoyang walked quickly to the queen and gathered her body, "Chaoyang has seen the queen mother." ”

The queen smiled and said angrily, "Yesterday, your mother came to say that you didn't come with me today, and I thought you didn't come here for other things, but I didn't expect it to be an appointment with Princess Li." Aren't you afraid that the queen mother's heart will be sour? ”

Chaoyang blushed and stomped his feet with a smile.

Princess Li hurriedly came over and saluted, and said with a smile, "The queen mother said that she laughed, it was the concubine who dragged Princess Chaoyang to accompany her, you know that the concubine has a child next to Yufeng, and she has a straight face all day long, so she doesn't have to make people angry." The concubine saw Princess Chaoyang smiling all day long, and liked it in her heart, it was rare to fall in love with the princess, and the princess was so disliked that I was an old woman who was boring. ”

"Oh, Queen Mother, Princess, let's stop talking about me. Today is Miss Wang San's birthday, but I am here to celebrate my birthday, and I can't use your two mouths to steal the limelight of the birthday star! After Chaoyang finished speaking, he walked to the Wang sisters with a smile, and was about to sit down, but suddenly stood up as if he remembered something, and looked at the Miss Cao family who was talking just now, "Did you say my cousin-in-law just now?" Send the gift you prepared and put it with your cousin's and I'll see. ”

This is a princess, even if Miss Cao doesn't like it, she can only accept it obediently. Walking over with a box in his hand, Chaoyang was already sitting next to the Wang sisters, and when he saw her coming over to take a look, he deliberately pretended not to see it, but this pretending was too rough and obvious, even Yun Ting knew that she had seen other girls, okay? Yun Ting was just about to speak, but was pulled by Chaoyang to the chair beside her and sat down, "How can my cousin stand with such an identity?" Just sit next to me, things are placed there, isn't there Xi Cui there? ”

So the only people standing on the field were Xi Cui and Miss Cao. Miss Cao's little face is black, and she is now a dignified young lady who wants to stand with a maid in front of everyone, and she is still a fool's maid, how can she raise her head and be a man in the future? But the identity of Princess Chaoyang is there, what can people do if they are bullying her? Looking at her mother, Mrs. Cao's face was gloomy but more helpless, and she gave her daughter a look, and the meaning was obvious: endure who makes the family a princess!

The two boxes were opened, and the things that Miss Cao brought were actually not bad, a delicate pear wood carved folding fan, pear wood should be soaked in pear wood that has been dyed with agarwood for many years, and the fragrance is pleasant. On one side of the fan is Mrs. Wei's "Chunhua Pavilion Post", and on the other side is Wang Xianzhi's "For Huan Wenshu and Painting Wu Zhu Niu Fan". Seeing that Wang Shaoju's eyes flashed with joy after looking at her gift, Miss Cao became proud. said with a smile, "I didn't want Wang Xianzhi to say it, I heard that Mrs. Wei is the teacher of the scholar Wang Xizhi, and I thought that Wang Xizhi's painting here is the best, but unfortunately I couldn't find the original." But in the end, Wang Xianzhi is the son of Wang Xizhi, and it is not a loss of my original intention, and I hope that the third lady likes it. ”

Wang Shaoju was actually happy when she first saw the fan, but when she said this, it was like comparing and commenting on the father and son of the book, the utilitarianism was too obvious, and the words were too superficial, because the person who gave the gift couldn't like this gift anymore.

Chaoyang just didn't see anything, pulled Shaoju and said, "You should look at your cousin first!" Others don't understand respect and humility, and we can't lose the order of the elders and children. As he spoke, he glanced at Xi Cui.

Xi Cui hurriedly brought the things to Wang Shaoju. When she saw the box, Wang Shaomei guessed what was inside, so she was naturally not surprised. But Wang Shaoju is the first time to see this set of things, just a glossy and translucent, fine workmanship of the mutton fat jade gourd has made people love it, in the sight of the above meticulous picture, elegant style, exquisite brushstrokes of the inner painting, the character expressions are rich, lifelike, the artistic conception of the landscape is far-reaching, the charm is vivid, the flowers and plants are fresh and gorgeous, and the color is bright. Each one of them is a stunning masterpiece, not to mention the twelve pieces in this box!

Wang Shaoju stood up excitedly, and carefully held them in his hands one by one, where is this like, it is clear that he is overjoyed!

Several young ladies who were seated next to them couldn't help but come over to watch and explain in amazement.

Chaoyang proudly picked one up, pinched it between his two green onion white fingers, looked at the sun, and exclaimed, "Xi Cui, this is the best mutton fat jade!" Looking at the color, I thought it was glass, but I didn't expect it to be jade! Is there still such a transparent mutton fat jade? I haven't seen it in the palace! ”

Xi Cui's face was deferential, without any smugness, and said, "Princess Yu, it is indeed a sheep fat jade." The young lady knew that the third lady liked calligraphy and painting, and it was specially prepared for the young lady. ”

"Oh......" Chaoyang put the things back and looked at Yun Ting with a flattering expression, "Cousin-in-law, will you give me a set of this on my birthday next year?" ”

Yun Ting was stunned for a moment and looked at Xi Cui. Xi Cui said with a smile, "Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, how can you receive the same birthday gift as others?" Even if you and our third lady are cousins, it's not appropriate. Our young lady likes the princess, and she will give the princess unexpected surprises when the time comes. ”

Chaoyang immediately smiled when he heard this, and smiled at Xi Cui, "You still know how to speak, and I'm happy when I hear it." ”

For a while, many young ladies gathered around to see the jade pot, but no one paid attention to the young lady of the Cao family, and the young lady stood there with a black face and walked away, so she had to look back at Linglong standing beside Liu. Liu looked back at Linglong, Linglong got a look, walked to Miss Cao with a smile, and patted her shoulder, which was a bit of comfort. smiled and said to the young ladies, "Don't be in a hurry to see the gifts, you should hurry up and share your gifts together, but there is not much time, and the banquet is about to start." As he spoke, he quietly walked up to Miss Cao, and went down together as the ladies returned to their seats.

Princess Chaoyang also came with a gift, but the gift was obviously not thought of, a famous ancient painting, probably from the emperor by the way. The other ladies also sent some calligraphy and paintings, but they were more or less inseparable from paper products, and there was nothing new.

Then the banquet began, and Yun Ting was arranged in the main seat. Look at who they are. The queen, the old lady, the Liu family, the princess of Li, the princess of Chaoyang, the sisters of the Wang family, and her. This combination clearly means that people can't eat properly. Behind the queen stood Huajin to serve the meal, behind the old lady stood Mother Mu, and the Liu family was Linglong...... Princess Chaoyang and Princess Li were next to each other, sitting next to Yun Ting, unfortunately Chaoyang did not bring a maid, and the maid who followed Princess Li stood between them and waited for the two of them. On the other side of Xi Cui was Linglong, of course she didn't want to get too close to Linglong, so she naturally stood between Yunting and Princess Li.

Then Xiao Yi appeared, and he pulled Xi Cui's sleeve, "Princess Li's heart has been too hot recently, you add some light food to her, she doesn't eat fish and shrimp." ”

What do you mean? I'm standing in this position, just avoiding Linglong, don't I want to serve two people, okay?

Of course, Xiao Yi could hear what she was thinking, but she ignored it, and said to herself, "Princess Li's handkerchief is in her maid's hand, and it is most convenient for her to use your side to hand it over later." Don't complain, it will do you no harm to please her......"

This is annoying...... Before the scolding in Xi Cui's heart fell, she saw Princess Li's body slightly like this side. It's time to use a handkerchief, and it's really easy to hand over a handkerchief when you think about the seat you're standing in. So he quietly sent the handkerchief in his hand up. Princess Li didn't even look at it, picked it up and wiped her mouth gently, and inadvertently glanced at the handkerchief in her hand. Only then did I realize that it was not what I used on weekdays, and the fragrance was a little unfamiliar. So she saw Xi Cui, at this moment, Xi Cuigong was standing with her head bowed, and she was still the well-behaved little girl she saw at first sight. Remembering that she was just a small action, she had never served herself, and she could guess what she wanted, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, she was thoughtful.

Princess Chaoyang is very picky about eating, and Princess Li's maid is busy serving this lord who can barely take care of herself. Fortunately, before going out, the princess instructed that there was something to follow this princess first, who let her son be ignorant and not save face for other princesses? It hurt her to follow behind to clean up the aftermath for him, he and the princess's marriage queen have mentioned it many times, it is already well known, he has been offended again and again, if he angers this one day, who knows what will happen?

Xi Cui accidentally glanced at the princess after picking up the food for Yun Ting, didn't she bring that maid? Is it really as Xiao Yi said that he wants to serve this himself? I couldn't help it, so I took the dishes in front of me and chose a few light and delicious dishes from them and put them on a small plate in front of the princess. The princess couldn't help but look at Xi Cui again, still standing in a proper manner, what she did just now seemed to be her own business, and there was no hint of affection on her face. Looking at the dishes she chose for herself, it was like serving herself for a long time and knowing that she was suitable for light food, and everything made her very satisfied. So his heart's favorability towards Xi Cui improved again.

The feast is over, and it is only when the young ladies here really show their skills that they really begin. However, those are all stages for girls and ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet to compete for beauty, and since Yun Ting is married, she naturally does not need to participate. Xi Cui could finally breathe a sigh of relief and helped Yun Ting find a place to sit for a while.

Originally, I was supposed to sit in the main hall with those ladies, but Yun Ting didn't want to go over, and the Liu family didn't want Yun Ting to go over, who were those ladies? All of them are human spirits who have been cultivating for many years, that is, the Liu family himself has to think twice before he dares to speak to them, where can he ask Yun Ting to deal with them. In the end, it is his own daughter-in-law, and even with him will be faceless.

The queen was entrusted by Shaoyan to come this time to give Yun Ting a long face, so naturally she couldn't go along with Liu's wishes. I sat down and saw that Yun Ting didn't follow, so I immediately asked. Liu had no choice but to send Xiaohuan out to look for them, and soon their master and servant were taken back. In front of all the ladies, the queen rewarded Yun Ting with a set of red gold noodles and said that she had prepared a gift for her nephew and daughter-in-law, but unfortunately she couldn't wait for her nephew and daughter-in-law to come to the palace to get it, so she had to send it over.

Those ladies didn't say anything, and their psychology was probably clear, and the queen recognized this young grandmother of the Wang family. A few of them were angry in front of the Liu family before, thinking that Yun Ting was a fool, the Liu family would not be able to keep her sooner or later, and the girls in their own families were ready to continue the strings at any time, and they all played a dark drum in their hearts. No matter how much the Liu family has to give face to the queen, Xi Yunting seems to be stable for the time being. It's better for her own girl to look at other families early, in case her idea reaches the queen's ears, it will be troublesome.

The queen did this point, and Liu also guessed a little meaning. At the same time, she also knew that Wang Shaoyan's handwriting was indispensable, she clasped her palms and looked at Yun Ting, just a fool, how could she make Wang Shaoyan care so much! What kind of woman is standing next to her son should she choose!

The old lady didn't say much from beginning to end. The queen has been tempted by the initial suspicion and now accepts it calmly, it seems that she has really changed, and she is no longer the arrogant and domineering and ruthless woman she used to be, but she is getting old...... Thinking so in her heart, it was her mother, she wanted to find an excuse to forgive her, but she couldn't swallow a breath in her heart. Even if you can no longer hate her with unforgettable hatred, you can't really forgive.

So she didn't go to see her at all.

When the time was almost up, the old lady made an excuse and went back to rest.

A few ladies sat for a while, and because the queen did not speak as she usually did, they simply went out to watch the ladies play. Soon there were only the queen, Liu, and Yun Ting left in the main hall. The queen saw Yun Ting sitting absent-mindedly, so she glanced at Xi Cui, and Xi Cui hurriedly took Yun Ting out. Hua Jin followed behind them, closing the door after they left, and what happened inside was unknown.

The queen looked at Liu for a long time before she slowly spoke, "I know you don't like Yun Ting, but you can't be so anxious?" As soon as Yun Ting entered the door, Shaoyan's body got better, and everyone outside saw that Yun Ting was Shaoyan's life-saving benefactor, you have to unload the mill and kill the donkey at this time, cross the river and tear down the bridge, what will others think of the Wang family, how will they look at Shaoyan? ”

"The lesson of the mother is that I naturally have to take these things into account. So I didn't embarrass Xi Yunting, I just gave her some warnings not to let her hold Shaoyan with a little kindness. As long as she keeps to herself, I naturally won't move her position as the eldest daughter-in-law, but Shaoyan's identity must be matched with a proper wife no matter what, and he can't be underestimated. Liu was about to shed tears when he spoke, "I, as a mother, am really embarrassed, I work hard for their children, and I don't want to complain about me one by one, and I don't want to be close to me." Sister, do you want to talk about me now? I have had children and housework in your royal family all these years, which one has gone wrong? Now that the lord is separated from me, he favors those aunts, and the children don't understand, and the more I think about it, the more bitter I feel......"

When the queen saw her like this, what else could she say, so she could only persuade her with kind words. Shaoyan is also afraid that the Liu family will embarrass Yun Ting, since the Liu family has said that it is not difficult for her, Yun Ting has the most well-behaved Xi Cui by her side, how can she be restless and self-conscious? It's already good to have such a result, she knows what kind of person Liu is, it stands to reason that although she is the queen, she has no right to meddle in the private affairs of the Wang family, and Liu's forbearance is already taking into account her identity.

The matter has been done, the queen is about to return to the palace, Liu sent it to the gate alone, watched the car gradually move away until it disappeared before turning back and entering the courtyard.

Princess Chaoyang didn't seem to have much interest in the affairs of those ladies in the boudoir, and only pestered Yun Ting and Xi Cui. Others don't know about them, but she knows them very well. As long as Yun Ting speaks and does things when there are outsiders, Xi Cui arranges it, so when you intersect with Yun Ting, you must first intersect with Xi Cui.

The three little girls returned to Luju to speak, and they were not restrained, and when Princess Li came to find her, she heard the laughter of the rising sun before she entered the courtyard. Princess Zhaoyang she understands, although she is lively and cute, she is very arrogant, and most of the ordinary ladies of the family want to make friends with her, how can Yun Ting get the favor of this one?

But when she stood at the door and saw what was inside, she was really surprised. Chaoyang and Xi Cuitou leaned together, Yun Ting sat opposite them calmly, and the three of them surrounded a chessboard as if they were playing chess, but not like playing chess.

"Princess, you can't do this, Miss deliberately left that side just waiting for you to be fooled!" Xi Cui's body squeezed Chaoyang, Chaoyang unceremoniously returned the favor, the two small bodies squeezed together, and heard Chaoyang say angrily, "Xi Cui, you traitor, don't forget that you are my person now, let's deal with her together!" It's good for you to grow up with other people's ambition to destroy your own majesty, look at Yun Ting's pride! ”

Then there was Yun Ting's laughter, "Chaoyang, you lost again, just tell you to listen to Xi Cui, you always make your own decisions!" Lose......"

Chaoyang suddenly straightened his waist and sat down, looking at them, "You, aren't you two playing tricks on me together?" ”

Then the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
