Chapter 10: Meet
Lao Yu Wang is the younger brother of the former emperor, and he was also born by Empress Cizhen. It is said that the first emperor was very fond of his younger brother, and later the vassal territory was sealed in Bianliang and became the king of Yu. The previous king of Yu was cut off because of his crimes, and his descendants were all demoted to the common people. The first emperor thought that Bianliang was not far from the capital, and it would be more convenient for King Yu to return to Beijing.
After the death of Lao Yu Wang, the eldest son Mu Yu took the throne.
In his previous life, Rong Zheng also followed his stepmother Ma into the palace, and that time he celebrated the 40th birthday of Princess Yu. She saw the royal bearing in the palace. She also remembered that the third lady in the palace had said a few words to her, but the appearance of the third lady was blurred, and she couldn't remember what she looked like.
Rong Zheng recalled the things about the Yu Wangfu in his previous life while walking, but unfortunately the friendship between their family and the Yu Wangfu was not so deep, and after Aunt Rong died, it was even more sparse, so she could not remember much.
Rong Yun saw that her cousin's steps were a little slow, and when she saw that she was about to fall, she hurriedly stopped and waited for her. When Rong Zheng walked up, Rong Yun whispered and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
Rong Zheng smiled: "No." Only then did she realize that she was slowing down because she was thinking about things.
After a short time, they arrived at the West Tower Courtyard, where the royal family was resting.
Mrs. Fang and the others didn't dare to break in rashly, and the grandmother serving in the palace hurried to pass the word. It didn't take long for the grandmother to turn back, and said with a smiling face: "Niangniang is changing her clothes, saying that there is no one around to talk, so the wives of the Rong family will come over." Come with the old man. ”
Mrs. Fang thanked her.
On the way, Du Shi had quietly talked to Rong Yun and Rong Zheng about some etiquette, don't go on a business trip when the time comes. Rong Yun is a person with a heart, and he keeps it in mind. She was a little worried about Rong Zheng, but these days Rong Zheng is too quiet, not normal quiet, she secretly pinched a sweat for Rong Zheng, and had to quietly change Rong Zheng and said: "Don't be afraid, just follow me when the time comes." ”
Rong Zheng understood the kindness of the lobby sister and smiled slightly.
Rong Yun was relieved.
After the maid reported, Mrs. Fang, Ma's, and Du's fish entered, and Rong Zheng walked at the end. She is not afraid of anything, she is generous, and she does not seem to be a child.
In the banquet room, there were already maids who smiled and opened the soft curtains of blue satin and invited them in.
Rong Zheng smelled a good aroma of white sandalwood, and thought that such a high-quality and mellow white sandalwood, few ordinary people can afford it.
Mrs. Fang saw that there was a lady in her thirties sitting at the top, wearing a leather jacket and skirt, wearing a special bun, and a golden hairpin tree, not angry but mighty, and the style of the whole body was different from that of ordinary people's wives and grandmothers, so she knew that it was Princess Yu, and hurried to salute the princess.
Princess Yu was taking the tea from the princess and said with a smile: "Get up quickly." ”
Mrs. Fang waited before she died.
Rong Zheng quickly opened her eyes, Princess Yu has not changed much from her impression, even when she is doing her fortieth birthday, she is still well-maintained, and she looks like a noblewoman in her twenties. Standing on the side, wearing an apricot dress, silver rat brocade, and a sweet birth is the princess. Mrs. Fang led the salute to the princess again. The princess hurriedly got up and said, "In front of the concubine, these etiquettes will be waived." ”
The princess gave her a seat, and the princess sat beside her.
The princess saw the two daughters of the Rong family at a glance and said with a smile: "These two little girls of the Rong family are very good-looking. Her gaze fell from Rong Yun's body to Rong Zheng's body. The heart is gentle and gentle, dignified and generous, but he is also a good child. Rong Zheng looked a few years younger than Rong Yun, but there was no cringe on his face, which was a little surprising, thinking that this child had also seen a little bit of the world.
Mrs. Fang flattered: "Ordinary girls are inevitably more delicate, which makes the mother laugh." ”
The princess nodded and glanced at Mama Wang standing behind her. Mama Wang understood and went out.
Here the princess asked Rong Yun and Rong Zheng about their ages and what they were doing at home.
Rong Yun and Rong Zheng asked and answered, and they were very well-behaved and clever, which made the princess like it very much. Mrs. Fang saw that her daughter was doing well, and she liked it very much. Ma also smiled, but said in his heart that Sister Zheng understood these truths and did not embarrass their Rong family.
Mama Wang soon came in again, holding a lacquer plate with two big red boxes in it. The princess gave these two boxes to the Rongyun sisters. The two kowtowed to the princess and thanked him.
The princess also has a reward, both of them are a golden hairpin, but Rong Yun is a chrysanthemum hairpin, and Rong Zheng has a hibiscus hairpin.
The princess and Mrs. Fang gossiped: "Speaking of which, our princess is still related to your Rong family. Why don't you see your family come to the house to kowtow to me during the New Year? ”
Mrs. Fang was shocked, and said in her heart, this crime is to blame, and she hurriedly got up and said: "My mother-in-law has passed away, and there is filial piety in the family, and it is not easy to move around." ”
When the princess heard this, she laughed, pinched her handkerchief and said, "You also say that you are filial or unfilial in front of me, all right, sit down quickly." When I say that, I frighten you. Today is also a coincidence, but if you meet, let's talk freely for a while. ”
At this time, the princess said in a timely manner: "Second Mrs. Rong also sent someone to give me a gift, and I also returned to my mother's concubine." I think it was the mother who forgot about it. ”
The princess was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "People don't have long memories when they get old, so don't laugh at me." I mean that the princess and your family are related, where is the reason not to move. ”
Rong Zheng listened to it next to him but secretly thought, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't seem to be very ventilated, don't they usually get along so well? She couldn't help but look at it, the princess and the princess were all smiling, and she couldn't see anything at all. The princess may have noticed that someone was looking at her, and when she looked this way, she nodded and smiled when she met Rong Zheng's gaze. Rong Zheng also smiled slightly.
Later, the princess asked Mrs. Qiao what kind of illness she had and how she went, and Mrs. Fang answered them one by one.
When he was talking about which alley doctor he was invited, he heard a report from outside: "Niangniang, the county lord and the third lady are here." ”
The princess replied lightly: "Got it, let them in." ”
Soon, the curtain was lifted, and two women entered. The one who walked in front was quite tall, but he was wearing a lotus green bucket brocade gown and a gray squirrel gown. Combed the bun, and only wore the hairpin of Nanzhu on his head. A light makeup is applied to the face. She has a beautiful appearance and a noble temperament, like an empty valley orchid, but her brows are slightly locked, and she is covered with a faint sorrow.
Rong Zheng quickly understood that this was the county lord who had returned home early and widowed that his father and stepmother talked about last night. A little girl in a pink skirt flashed behind the Lord of Duanhui, and the silver rat cloak on her body had not yet been taken off.
The county lord of Duanhui and the third lady saluted the princess, and the county lord only nodded to the princess, which was regarded as a greeting. Then the Rong family recognized each other again.
The county lord of Duanhui pursed her lips slightly, and the gloom between her eyebrows was faint, but she had never seen her stretch her brows.
Rong Zheng's gaze quickly moved from the body of the Duanhui County Lord to the third young lady, and the third young lady was exactly the same as her impression.
The princess was quite happy when she saw it, and said angrily: "Baowen, don't run around, this is not at home, I'm afraid that someone will hit you." ”
Mu Baowen said with a smile: "I didn't run around, so I followed the eldest sister of the county lord to the Guanyin Academy to listen to Buddhism for a while." ”
Ma, who has never found a chance to speak, said in a timely manner: "The little county lord is a lovely person, and our children will be compared immediately." ”
The princess put her arm around Mu Baowen's shoulders and said, "It's naughty, where is the Miss Rong family dignified." ”
Mu Baowen glanced at Rong Yun and then at Rong Zheng, and then said the same thing as Rong Zheng in his previous life: "You are the young lady of the Rong family?" ”
Rong Zheng replied with a smile: "Yes." ”
