Chapter 28: Princess Gu Yue
Meng Shaoguang didn't come early, but it was more than a moment or two later than others.
The maid held the umbrella and followed Meng Shaoguang up the steps, and then put away the umbrella and took out the invitation.
The gatekeeper opened the invitation and saw that the seven words written on it, the upright Anping County Lord, King An's Mansion, were so frightened that he almost threw the invitation. This is King An's Mansion, the most incompatible with the royal family's King An's Mansion! Why did you suddenly come to the Prince's Mansion?
The gatekeeper didn't think much about it, and bent a little lower than usual, very in awe: "Lord Anping, please, the slave will take you to the garden." As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him and asked him to hurry up and report to the housekeeper.
Meng Shaoguang didn't care about their small movements, and followed this person inside.
"Is Princess Gu Yue here?" Meng Shaoguang looked at the person who bowed his head and bent down to lead the way and asked casually, but his eyes turned back and forth in the prince's mansion.
The man was startled at first, and then quickly replied, "The fourth princess has arrived at the right time, and she should drink tea in the garden at this time." ”
Meng Shaoguang sighed almost inaudibly, and stopped talking, but he was so frightened that the man's head was covered with sweat. He was very stressed when facing Meng Shaoguang, not only because she was the major general of the Nan'an Army, a person who was feared by the entire royal family but couldn't move, but also because of Meng Shaoguang herself, she was light and did not have the slightest murderous aura that was terrifying for the general, but Meng Shaoguang's every move made him feel pressured. It's like a little spark immersed in the wilderness, you can't see or touch it, but you clearly understand that when this spark burns, it is the momentum of a prairie fire. This hidden and invisible danger is the most frightening. He could also feel it in the prince, but the feeling that the prince gave him was palpitations and gloomy, but it was not as strong as Meng Shaoguang's strong sense of oppression.
The crown princess was laughing with the fourth princess and several ladies and young ladies, and she was very surprised when she received the news, and she didn't have time to hide it before she showed it completely on her face.
"Sister-in-law, princess, what's wrong? Isn't there some big guy coming? Seeing that the princess's face changed, the fourth princess wondered in her heart, and at the same time opened her mouth to ask, there are not many things that can make the princess change color, if you can know a thing or two, maybe it will be useful.
The people sitting on the side also looked at the crown princess with blank eyes, although this was a tea party, but they all understood the specific purpose, and it was just a blind date in disguise. This also provides a good opportunity for these boudoir daughters to choose, after all, women's status is not as good as men, and it is better to marry a person you like than not to know each other, so this tea party is very popular. and the capital has a head and face, there will always be one or two times a year. At this time, if someone comes to make trouble, it is not only the crown princess who will offend, but if not, what can make the princess change color. As women, they were very curious.
The crown princess also realized that she was out of shape, and she hurriedly suppressed her surprise and said with a smile: "It's the palace that made a fuss, but I was surprised when I heard that the county lord of Anping was coming." ”
When the fourth princess heard this, Meng Shaoguang lowered her eyelashes to cover the look in her eyes.
The crown princess saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, and then looked at the other pavilions or young ladies on the water corridor, got up and said, "The county lord of Anping should also arrive, and the palace will take a look." ”
Everyone stood up and saluted, "The crown princess, please take a chance." ”
The crown princess is the master, and it is naturally appropriate for her to go, which also gives Meng Shao enough face. And they can't even go if they want to. First, it is not in accordance with the rules, and second, the situation between the DPRK and China is unstable, and the relationship between the An Wangfu and the royal family is well known, and they dare not act rashly even if they want to.
The four princesses stared at the back of the departing princess with glittering eyes, and their thoughts turned quickly.
What is Meng Shaoguang here for? Is it showing goodwill with the Prince's Mansion? No, according to the temperament of King An's Mansion, he will never stand on the same front as the Prince's Mansion. But why? The case of Yilan Yuan is very wide-ranging, although she got rid of most of the people but still caused the Four Princes' Mansion to suffer heavy losses, but the Prince's Mansion has taken a big advantage in this matter, the newly appointed Jing Zhaoyin and Zhongshu Ling are the prince's people, and even Yang Fengguo praised the case handled by the prince, but when all this happened, she thought she would choose Meng Shaoguang of the Four Princes but did nothing! Could it be that she was wrong?! Seeing that the Four Princes' Mansion was in crisis, but today he came to the Prince's Mansion with a swagger, what is Meng Shaoguang going to do? Tell the Four Princes her answer? The fourth princess couldn't help but close her eyes when she thought of this. The resentment in her eyes was also covered by her eyelids, and the hands under her sleeves were clenched tightly, and it took all her strength to lose control.
At this time, the crown princess had already taken someone to meet Meng Shaoguang.
"The crown princess." Meng Shaoguang arched his hand at her, and his bright eyes were full of smiles.
The crown princess wasn't sure what Meng Shaoguang was going to do, but she wasn't a general, seeing Meng Shaoguang so far away from being displeased, she smiled more and more kindly, and helped Meng Shaoguang for a while, and then spoke: "It's rare that the county lord of Anping is willing to appreciate the light, Your Majesty must be very happy if you know." ”
Meng Shaoguang smiled noncommittally and did not answer.
The crown princess didn't see anything disappointed from Meng Shaoguang's face, and enthusiastically stepped forward to shake Meng Shaoguang's hand and led her to the garden.
"Princess Gu Yue is also here today, I heard that you were very good when you were young, and you have to talk about it later." The crown princess knows very well what posture is against whom, even if she understands that Meng Shaoguang will not stand with the prince's mansion, she doesn't care about lowering her posture to give Meng Shaoguang face, and implicitly shows goodwill, the princess's scheming should not be underestimated.
The daughters in the garden saw that the princess was taking people out, so they kept paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the garden, wondering who the princess was picking up with such fanfare, and at this time, when they saw the princess coming in with Meng Shaoguang, they stretched their necks one by one to look.
Meng Shaoguang is different from the woman who is raised in the boudoir, she will not blush when she says a few words to others, and she will not be vulnerable in the face of people who are higher than herself.
The crown princess smiled and joked, "When the county lord came, he grabbed the attention of all the sons present, and I, a married woman, was embarrassed." ”
Meng Shaoguang also smiled, raised his eyes and looked around, ignoring all the eyes around him, and when he saw an emerald green figure in the pavilion, he turned back to the crown princess and said, "I saw Princess Gu Yue, I am lost." ”
Saying that, he arched his hand towards the princess and walked over there, the smile on the princess's face was still there, and she turned around and told Huan'er to take back the tea brought by Meng Shaoguang and put it away, and then went to the pavilion where Shicai left.
