Chapter 279: Attitude
Emperor Zhao Qi of Great Xia is not yet fifty years old, his queen is from a famous clan in the north, the eldest princess Zhao Ling'er is from the queen, in addition, she also has a prince, is the second ranked Zhao Hao. In addition, there is the eldest son of the emperor Zhao Jian born to the imperial concubine, Zhao Xian, the fifth prince born to the concubine, Zhao Qing, the sixth prince born to the concubine, and the ninth prince Zhao Jiong born to the concubine.
According to the Chinese history that Yun Xiang came into contact with in his previous life, the heirs of the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty were not rich at all, and they could even be said to be thin. Although the ranking of princes has reached nine, there are actually only five princes, and the others all died young, and there are only four princesses.
The eldest princess is not very old, only twenty-one or twelve years old, she has a round figure and a kind face. Since coming to the peach blossom forest, the eldest princess has always been smiling, and she treats her brothers even more kindly.
Yun Xiang remembered the rules of the Peach Blossom Spring, and asked Qi Shanshan softly, "Didn't you say that you can't come if you become a relative?" I remember that the eldest prince and the second prince already have concubines? ”
Those who have married, or have already married, are no longer invited. There is no other reason, although the eldest princess wants to draw a red line for everyone, but she has no intention of being a concubine. He will not do evil things like beating mandarin ducks.
Qi Shanshan leaned her head over and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?" Don't you know this? The prince has a concubine on both sides, and the eldest prince now only has a concubine, and the positions of the two side concubines are still vacant. And the second highness only has one side concubine. ”
Yun Xiang opened her mouth, and wanted to say, 'The side concubine is also a concubine', but in the end, she held back. I could only secretly curse in my heart. The evil feudal society.
Beside the eldest princess sat several ladies, who had been specially invited to judge. After all, there will be a competition to be enjoyed.
"What's in it for the leader?" Yun Xiang lowered her head and drank tea, and quietly asked Qi Shanshan.
"Men and women can get a peach blossom hairpin. And with this peach blossom hairpin, she asked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to be a matchmaker. ”
Qi Shanshan's words made Yun Xiang's eyes widen. "And what if you don't want to?"
Qian Shanshan shook her head, "It's not reluctant. ”
It's not reluctant, but the eldest princess has come forward, how many people can shake their heads fearlessly and refuse?
"This hairpin is not only useful." Seeing that Yun Xiang no longer asked, Qi Shanshan took the initiative to speak, "Those who have this hairpin are also acquiesced in their talents." In the future, when you say that you are pro, you can also rely on this hairpin to get a grace. ”
"Anything?"
"Of course, not everything can be done, but most of them can be satisfied." Qi Shanshan secretly pointed to a woman wearing a pink Baizi carved silk silver mouse jacket sitting in front of her. "That's the third lady of the General's Mansion, and last year her sister won the top spot with a sword dance. asked for grace and transferred his brother, who had been away for many years, back to the capital. ”
And so it goes! Yun Xiang nodded clearly, no wonder these people were rushing to the banquet. It turns out that there is such a saying in it.
"Lord Fuhui County. Your Highness, please move this table to the front. A palace maid came over and interrupted the whispering of the two men.
Yun Xiang frowned in her heart, but said humbly on her face, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your favor." ”
The two eunuchs stepped forward and directly carried Yun Xiang and Qi Shanshan's table away, Yun Xiang and Qi Shanshan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, restrained their expressions, and walked to the front in a proper manner.
"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." The two saluted. I was allowed to sit down anew.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Yun Xiang carefully, smiling with disgust. "Look at you, how did you get so far? Since you became the county lord, you haven't officially attended the banquet, right? Need a referral from me? ”
Liu Yunxiang was a little puzzled, why did she feel that Zhao Ling'er was showing favor to herself? "Thank you, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."
Several ladies next to him took this opportunity to look at the newly released Fuhui County Lord. Some of these people are also relatively well-informed, and they know that this Liu Yunxiang is not as simple as it seems. In the past, she was a disciple of Master Chengtian and the junior sister of the divine doctor Situ Liufeng, even if she attended the banquet, they didn't really pay attention to it.
"This is the Duchess of England, this is Princess Cheng, this is the Princess of Chengjunjun, and this is Mrs. Taishi." After the eldest princess introduced the people around her, she pointed to a few men on the other side and said, "There are a few over there, the eldest is the eldest prince, wearing a dark trimmed royal blue satin round-necked robe is the second highness, and the two who are wearing royal blue look like a big one, the left is the fifth highness, the sixth highness on the right, and the youngest one is the ninth highness." ”
Because the eldest princess pointed over there, her voice was not small, so several highnesses who were talking over there stopped talking and looked over. Yun Xiang couldn't sit still, so she quickly stood up, took two steps forward, and saluted several princes.
At this time, two girls in Chinese costumes came together, seeing that the outfit did not look like the ordinary aristocratic daughter, Yun Xiang turned her head to look at the eldest princess, and sure enough, the eldest princess introduced, "This is the second princess and the third princess." ”
Yun Xiang saluted again. There was no sloppiness in the etiquette rules, and even the most picky British duchess couldn't help but nod.
"You are Liu Yunxiang?" Zhao Qiong'er glanced at Yun Xiang, smiled disdainfully, and pulled Zhao Xin'er beside her to the empty seat next to the eldest princess and sat down.
Yun Xiang was bored, and there was no displeasure, but she sat back in her seat with a generous demeanor, without the slightest gaffe.
The eldest princess smiled as if nothing had happened, and only said that the banquet would start immediately. Don't be inhibited.
The men's side is fine, but there are really few people on the women's side who dare to be really unrestrained.
"Sister Huang, let's hurry up and start today's main event! We're waiting to see it! "Zhao Qiong'er is boring.
"Okay, then let's do it. There won't be a lottery this year, so you can do it of your own free will. Anyone who wants this peach hairpin, take the initiative to come up. After the eldest princess finished speaking, some people were eager to try.
"The daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Tingting, throwing bricks and attracting jade, please correct the sisters."
"This Wang Tingting has a unique skill, you may not know that as long as she is the first to stand up, as long as she is brilliant, the people behind her can't compare to her, and they all have to be a foil." Qi Shanshan pursed her lips, obviously telling Yun Xiang that this woman has a heart.
Yun Xiang blinked indifferently, what did it matter to her? She didn't want that peach hairpin. For others, it is said that the baby is rushing, but for her, it is a plain trouble. She's weird, and it's good to let others break their heads. (To be continued.) )
