King Jing triumphed, there was a banquet in the palace, and the Duke of Qi, as a first-class family in the imperial city, naturally received the post.

Zhen Baolu, as the concubine of the head of the Qi State Mansion, naturally had to enter the palace with the Xu family for a banquet on this day.

Last time he hunted, King Jing did not officially set the princess, but this time he invited a female dependent, which naturally has that meaning. If you don't have a marriage, you naturally want to make a good life and show off, maybe you will be favored by King Jing if you are lucky. However, a girl like Zhen Baolu, who has already made a marriage, dresses as low-key as possible, so that others will know it.

Zhen Baolu knew that Xue Rang would also go today, so she couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but put her favorite cloud-foot pearl tendrils hairpin on her bun. It is said that women are those who please themselves, which is probably what it means.

The young girl doesn't need fat powder, Zhen Baolu is at a prime age, and she only smeared a light layer of lip fat, so that it looks like her lip flap is slightly brighter, and the whole person looks extraordinarily improved.

After putting the delicate lipstick box away, Zhen Baolu got up.

Hearing that Xu was coming outside, he walked out.

Zhen Baolu was wearing a light pink face makeup gown, and her waist was tied with jade white Ruyi silk. For earrings and jewelry, try to choose low-key and soft pearls. Walking gracefully, the skirt is fluttering, very delicate and bright.

When Zhen Baolu saw the well-dressed mother, she had a feeling of brightness. Xu was born beautifully, wearing a three-grade silk costume now, the years did not seem to have left any traces on her face, and the skin of her fair cheeks was delicate, like a shelled egg.

Zhen Baolu is young, and it is rare for her skin to be so delicate, and Xu is not a little girl like Zhen Baolu, and it is indeed rare to be able to maintain it so well.

Zhen Baolu felt that she was at the age of her mother, and she was not necessarily so young and beautiful.

Zhen Baolu obediently called her mother. Xu was dignified and decent, and didn't say anything more, only advised: "Remember, you are not allowed to run around in the palace." ”

This Zhen Baolu naturally knows.

Xu has never been worried about this daughter, if she is the eldest daughter and enters the palace with her, she naturally does not have to worry, but this little daughter has a temperament, if she gets into trouble in the palace, it will be troublesome.

Zhen Baolu immediately smiled, and immediately made a famous lady. Although she is active in private, she is quite careful in her behavior in front of outsiders. She knew that her mother had always been proud of her sister, and she compared her with her sister everywhere, and she also admitted that her sister was indeed gentle and dignified, and she was a model of a noble woman.

Zhen Baolu Shi Ran got into the carriage with Xu.

The Eight Treasures Car of the Duke of Qi stopped at the gate of the palace and handed over the sign before letting it go. Zhen Baolu was well-behaved all the way, with her hands on her knees, and she didn't even drink saliva.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the imperial garden, they saw that the imperial garden was full of women and nobles who went to the banquet. Especially the little girls who have not yet decided on their marriage, all of them are very eye-catching. In such a comparison, Zhen Baolu's simple, plain and generous skirt looks a little inconspicuous.

Mrs. Jiang, who is good friends with the Xu family, is also there. Lu's hand was holding a pink and tender little girl, who was Jiang Mei. As soon as the little girl saw Zhen Baolu, her eyes lit up, and she said sweetly: "Sister Lu." ”

Looking at Jiang Mei, Zhen Baolu smiled and praised: "Meimei is so beautiful today." He said to Lu again, "Mrs. Jiang." ”

The Lu family was dressed elegantly and dignified, very bookish, and a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, and couldn't help but envy in his heart. She has seen Zhen Baolu a few times, and knows that this little girl is a lively person, and at this time, she was detained by Xu's mother into such a dignified appearance, so she was very considerate and said to Xu: "I see that the little girls are all over there, and Ah Lu feels bored with us, why don't you let Ah Lu go over to play with her eyebrows, let's talk well?" ”

Xu Shi was not at ease, but when he heard Lu Shi say this, he had no choice but to nod: "Ah Lu, you can go over with your eyebrows." ”

Zhen Baolu knew that this Lu family was smart and kind, and she was afraid that she was specially designed to relieve her, so she was happy, but in front of her mother, she didn't dare to come out, she only stretched out her hand to hold her eyebrows, and said, "Come, follow Sister Lu to play." Then he took Xiao Jiangmei's tender little hand and walked slowly towards the place where the pomegranate blossoms were in full bloom.

Lu Shi looked at the back of the little girl in the distance, and then said to Xu: "This Ah Lu and Qiong'er have different temperaments, you can't detain her too tightly." ”

has always been the eldest daughter quiet and introverted, and the younger daughter is lively and cheerful, teaching the two daughters not to use the same model.

Xu Shi disagreed, and said: "I think I was too loose with her before, look, what is it like to be spoiled by her father?" Besides, Alu is going to marry the Anguo Mansion, if she marries in the past, the Wang family can find fault with her anywhere. ”

The Lu family had also heard of the Wang family's name, and said with a smile: "It's also reasonable." ”

She was talking to the Xu family, and when she saw that the Wang family not far away really came over, she said helplessly, "Look, just when I talked about her, this person came." You really can't talk about people behind your back. ”

Today, Wang combs his double bun and wears a rose purple and gold engraved silk knee-length narrow sleeve gown, which is also a full-body style.

Wang's beauty was also a famous beauty in the imperial city. She is about the same age as Xu, and now standing together, it seems that Xu is much younger. The Wang family didn't like the Xu family, but felt that she regarded the daughter left by the Xue family as her own for the sake of her reputation as virtuous and virtuous, and her approach was really hypocritical - what stepfamily in this world can really tolerate the children conceived by the original partner and her husband?

However, as long as the Wang family thought that this Xue Rang had earned an official position as a fourth-grade military general in less than half a year, he hated it in his heart. If this continues, the old lady's eyes are less and less of her talking brother.

Xue Yifang, who came with the Wang family, was dressed up beautifully and smiled sweetly, and when she saw the Xu family, she smiled and asked, "Auntie, didn't Ah Lu come today?" ”

Xu looked at Xue Yifang with a smile in front of her, and felt a little unhappy in her heart, feeling that her little daughter was lively and uncontrollable, and it was probably related to Xue Yifang staying together. Thanks to Brother Shang's brother and Brother Rong'er, they are still young, otherwise with Xu's vision, if they want to choose a daughter-in-law, they will not choose this kind of lively temperament.

She smiled on her face, but showed Xue Yifang the way politely and kindly: "Alu is there." ”

Xue Yifang looked at Zhen Baolu who was picking flowers not far away and the little girl beside her, she couldn't hold it back, and said excitedly to Wang: "Mother, you talk, I'll go talk to Alu." ”

The Wang family was used to Xue Yifang's temperament, and no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't stop it.

said that as soon as Xue Yifang walked to Zhen Baolu's side, she began to complain: "It's still comfortable with you, these adults, I can't bear to hide knives in their swords-rattling smiles." ”

Zhen Baolu glanced at the Wang family, who was talking to her mother not far away, and was helpless in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm worried." ”

Xue Yifang knew what she was talking about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although my mother is difficult, isn't there still me?" I'm sure I'll help you. ”

Zhen Baolu quipped: "I'm afraid that if you haven't helped, you will get married a long time ago, right?" ”

Why didn't she want Xue Yifang to be by her side and help her? But when Xue Yifang got married, far water couldn't save the fire. She had seen the majesty of her mother-in-law, and when her ancestor coughed, her mother did not dare to say a word; She is also a delicate and intelligent person of her eldest aunt, and in front of her grandmother, is she not docile like a little sheep?

Xue Yifang's cheeks burned, she pushed her elbow against her, and said with a pout: "Don't laugh at me." ”

Zhen Baolu didn't speak, and folded a bouquet of flowers for the well-behaved Xiao Jiangmei beside her. Xiao Jiangmei smiled and kissed Zhen Baolu's cheek, and then happily held the flower and gave it to her mother.

And Xue Yifang pulled Zhen Baolu to speak.

The two naturally chatted about Xue Rang.

Xue Yifang originally admired his eldest brother, and now he admired it even more, and said with bright eyes: "Now my eldest brother is a fourth-grade military general, and the young son of this imperial city, who is better than my eldest brother." There are many girls in our female school who regret it, and they all say that you are not only good-looking, but also have a first-class vision for choosing a husband. ”

Zhen Baolu was embarrassed by the words, her cheeks were full of light, and she muttered: "This is the words of the matchmaker of my parents, and it is not my choice......"

Xue Yifang raised her hand and pinched her face, and said with a bright face: "Yes." Your father loves you so much, if you don't like to nod your head, how can he agree to such a family affair so quickly? Although it was a joke, Xue Yifang was envious in her heart, after all, there are not many girls who can marry a husband who is happy with each other.

When the banquet began, Zhen Baolu separated from Xue Yifang and went to Qionghuatai with the Xu family to the banquet.

Zhen Baolu thought about Xue Rang a little, and when she walked to a crescent bridge, she saw Xue Rang's figure not far away.

She froze and was a little surprised, so she took one more look. Every time she looked at him, this Xue Rang seemed to have long eyes behind her and would definitely see her, but this Xue Rang didn't look like he saw her, and hurriedly walked by.

Zhen Baolu frowned, and said in her heart: Usually his eyes are so bright, he can see her at a glance, why do you look blind at this moment?

Thinking of Xue Yifang's words, Zhen Baolu couldn't help but think more.

Xu Shi stopped, looked at his daughter standing there blankly, and frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhen Baolu came back to her senses in a trance and hurriedly said, "It's nothing." Then he stepped forward and followed Xu Shi over.

After taking the seat, Zhen Baolu was a little surprised when she saw Shen Yan, a girl from the Qingguo Mansion sitting next to her.

Zhen Baolu doesn't have any friendship with Shen Yan, but I've heard a lot about Shen Yan, she is hot-tempered and straightforward, and only she has the ability to go against Shen Shenyu at the beginning. Looking at this Shen Yan now, she has a delicate goose egg face, and her eyebrows are not like the soft and curved willow eyebrows of ordinary little girls, but slightly thicker, looking at a little bit of the girl's rare heroic spirit.

Zhen Baolu still doesn't know how to get along with this Shen Yan. She knew that this Shen Yan had already negotiated with Xue, and she was going to marry Xue Rang, and they would be concubines in the future.

Thinking of this word, Zhen Baolu was really embarrassed.

And Shen Yan on the side naturally noticed Zhen Baolu, she had a good impression of Zhen Baolu, but she didn't have much contact with her, and her friendship was general. This Zhen Liu girl is younger than her, but she will be her sister-in-law in the future. Shen Yan was also sensible, so he greeted the sister-in-law in advance: "Miss Zhen Liu." ”

Zhen Baolu smiled at her: "Miss Shen, what a coincidence." ”

When Xu heard her daughter talking, she glanced sideways, and when she saw that the person she was talking to was Shen Yan from the Qingguo Mansion, she didn't say anything. After all, these two little girls will be concubines in the future, and it is indeed time to get in touch with each other now.

Zhen Baolu hadn't had much contact with Shen Yan before, only heard that Shen Yan had a bad temper, but now after chatting, she felt that this Shen Yan was extraordinary, and she was born with a beautiful appearance, which did match her second cousin Xue Tan.

However, Zhen Baolu thought about Xue Rang's attitude, and she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart. After chatting with Shen Yan, he drank a glass of peach blossom brew and found an excuse to leave.

When I came out, it was already dark outside.

In front of Qionghuatai was a jasper bamboo forest, Zhen Baolu stepped on the bluestone paved path, and glanced at the imperial garden not far away - the banquet of the male guests was set in the imperial garden.

The breeze blows and the leaves rustle.

Zhen Baolu stood for a while, and then prepared to go back.

At this time, Xiang Han, who was following Zhen Baolu, said in a low voice: "Girl." ”

Zhen Baolu was reminded by Xianghan, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the oncoming woman surrounded by beads.

-- It's Zhen Baozhang.

Zhen Baolu frowned, she didn't expect to meet Zhen Baozhang here again, she thought about Zhen Baozhang's words in Lingfeng Temple at that time, and she was still a little angry in her heart. However, when she enters the palace for a banquet today, she should bring her wife, and Zhen Baozhang, as a concubine, entered the palace with King Jing for the banquet, but King Jing still treats her very favorably.

Although Zhen Baolu doesn't like Zhen Baozhang, she also has to look at King Jing's face, so she saluted immediately.

Zhen Baozhang looked at Zhen Baolu's reluctant look, and said leisurely: "The sixth sister is polite. She looked at Zhen Baolu, and a silk handkerchief in her sleeve fluttered down, and she could not afford to fall to the ground.

Zhen Baozhang glanced at the handkerchief at his feet and said to Zhen Baolu, "Since the sixth sister is so polite, can you pick up the handkerchief for me?" ”

Before Zhen Baolu could speak, Xiang Han beside her couldn't hold it back, and stepped forward and said, "The third girl, don't deceive people too much?" ”

"Too much deception?"

Zhen Baozhang muttered, thinking about the neglect he had suffered in the Qi State Mansion in the past few years, and said with a grim eyebrow, "What kind of master and what kind of maid!" I am now the concubine of King Jing, where is I still the third girl of the Duke of Qi at the beginning? Besides, I just asked the sixth sister to pick up the handkerchief for me, this gesture, the sixth sister won't refuse, right? ”

Zhen Baolu looked at Zhen Baozhang like this, and she was even more arrogant than when she was Princess Jing in her previous life. She twisted her eyebrows and thought about it-it was absolutely impossible for her to pick up the handkerchief for Zhen Baozhang.

"What's going on?"

A clear voice came from behind him, Zhen Baolu looked at Zhen Baozhang's expression in front of him and became extremely fast, and he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and called Jiaojiao: "Lord Wang." ”

It's the King of Peace.

Zhen Baolu was not stunned, turned to King Jing in front of him, and was about to salute, when he saw King Jing wearing a royal blue brocade robe, tall and handsome. And the tall and handsome man beside him was Xue Rang.

If it was usual, when Zhen Baolu saw Xue Rang, she felt that her heart was steady, and she would naturally ask him for help. But at this moment, she read Fang Cai Xue Rang's lukewarm attitude, and felt a little uncomfortable, so she didn't look at him, only bent her knees slightly: "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

said that this Zhen Baozhang saw King Jing, and when he saw him, he had confidence, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. She looked at King Jing with a smile and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, the veil of the concubine's body has fallen to the ground. That handkerchief, the prince saw it yesterday, and praised the concubine's embroidery work. At this time, it happened to fall next to the sixth sister, and the concubine wanted the sixth sister to pick it up for the concubine, who knew that the sixth sister was ......"

Zhen Baozhang is not brainless. It's just that King Jing has been pampering her in the past few days, which has given her confidence. And seeing that Xue Rang was also there, he wanted to vent his anger even more.

Xue Rang stood aside, his body was straight, like a bamboo, but he didn't speak, but his face was extremely ugly.

But King Jing smiled and said, "I thought something was wrong?" It's just a veil ......"

Zhen Baozhang smiled brightly, knowing that King Jing was protecting him, and said, "It's indeed a trivial matter." ”

But he didn't know that the next moment, King Jing's face changed, and he raised his hand and slapped it hard.

"Smack!" The sound is particularly crisp and loud in this quiet bamboo forest. couldn't help but Zhen Baozhang was stunned, and even Zhen Baolu was startled.

With this slap, Zhen Baozhang was caught off guard, staggered a few steps before he stopped, his cheeks were even higher and swollen, and the steps he wore on his bun also fell.

King Jing stood with his hands in his hands, his robe moving slightly. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he said sharply: "Miss Zhen Liu is your cousin. Aside from this relationship, she is also General Xue's fiancée, General Xue has a life-saving grace to this king, you dare to be so rude! ”

Zhen Baolu thought that this King Jing was so fond of Zhen Baozhang, she had to suffer a little bit of wretchedness today, but she didn't expect such a show, and she opened her lips slightly for a while, and she was even more surprised.

She quietly raised her eyes again and glanced at the rumored cheerful and easy-going King Jing in front of her, and looked at his gloomy eyes at the moment, and suddenly felt goosebumps on her body, chilling.

King Jing looked at Zhen Baozhang in front of him, and said word by word: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Miss Zhen Liu?" ”

Zhen Baozhang didn't spend much time with King Jing, and he treated her as gentle and caring. She naturally thought he was a good person, but she didn't expect to treat her like this. Her face was pale, her heart was very aggrieved, her face was hot and painful, she gritted her teeth, and then she stepped forward with tears in her eyes and trembled:

"Sixth sister, is it my sister's, I still hope to ...... I also hope that the sixth sister has a lot, don't worry about it. ”
