But now is not the time to say these words, the eldest princess didn't bother to deal with those people, so she simply sat with Xia Qingyun and coaxed Shan'er to be happy.

Shangguan Wenyan sat in the corner of the house on the other side angrily, the living room was very large, and there were many people in the middle, she felt that the eldest princess couldn't hear what was said here, and complained to the little sisters who came around: "Just her troubles, the county lord of Anping is arguing to see the canary, but the eldest princess didn't agree, but she rushed to take her over." ”

Around her were Nangong Xue, the daughter of the prime minister, Sun Tangxi, the daughter of the Ministry of Officials, Zhou Ruolan, the daughter of the Ministry of Households, and Jiang Meirong, the daughter of the governor of Zhili.

Jiang Meirong had just been engaged to Huangfu Xiangdong a few years ago, and her father Jiang Zongying was also transferred from the governor of Jiangbei to the governor of Zhili, and the family moved to the capital. She is a woman with a high spirit, she didn't want to marry a commoner, but the emperor Huazang entrusted people in many ways, and paid a lot of money to get this marriage.

The Huangfu family is the leading wealthy merchant in the Qi country, and in addition to gold and silver, there are countless jewels and jade and rare Fanbang rare things in the engagement gift, which is several times more than the dowry of ordinary official ladies, which makes her earn enough envy in front of the family sisters.

Fortunately, after getting engaged, Jiang Meirong saw that Huangfu was reading poetry and books to the east, and this year she was admitted to the Jinshi, which can be regarded as a career, so her heart was a little more balanced.

What she didn't know was that her father could be transferred to the capital to serve, and the funds for the activities were as high as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, all of which were secretly supported by Huangfu Huazang.

Jiang Meirong thinks that she is a young lady from an official family, and she also exudes a bit of arrogance in front of her future in-laws. However, she overheard Huang's personal maid talk about it. Huangfu Xiangdong once pursued Xia Qingyun and was rejected, and was even put on a table by her, and his heart was like eating a fly.

She came to the capital from Jiangbei and was eager to join the circle of nobles in the capital. Jiang Zongying stood in the team of Prime Minister Nangong Xi, and she had the heart to make friends with Sun Shangxi, Zhou Ruolan and others.

And Shangguan Wenyan, Sun Tangxi, and the prime minister's daughter Nangong Xue have been playmates since childhood.

Shangguan Wenyan is good at painting flowers and birds, and even the Queen Mother's palace is hung with a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix. Sun Tangxi is good at calligraphy, especially writing a beautiful small letter. Nangong Xue is good at playing and is brilliant in Go. The three of them were merged into the three talented women in the capital.

Jiang Meirong is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and boasts that she is no worse than the three of them. But on the surface, there is also flattery. Just to make them accept themselves as much as possible.

Right now, I can hear Shangguan Wenyan complaining. Jiang Meirong sneered: "Sister, don't be angry. I heard that the lord of Taiping County is good at dealing with birds and beasts, and he may call the canary back later. ”

"Hmph." Shangguan Wenyan snorted coldly, noncommittal.

Nangong Xue pursed her lips disdainfully, "A girl of unknown origin." If it weren't for climbing the high branches of the town of Guogong. I don't know where to stay in that mountain. It's just a matter of sorcery to confuse people! ”

Shangyuan Lantern Festival Xia Qingyun shines. The emperor was happy, but the next day he couldn't help complaining about Prime Minister Nangong Xi and other ministers who echoed him.

If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work, you are shouting to compare. The last one was helpless, and it was a loss that there was a Taiping county lord, otherwise he would not have let Suhelek take advantage of it in vain.

Taking advantage of this limelight, the prestige of the Zhenguo Gong and the Protector of the State has risen again. Nangong Xi couldn't help but complain when he got home. Nangong Xue listened to it in her heart, and she was dissatisfied with Xia Qingyun.

Sun Tangxi lowered his voice and said: "The villain has a good will, as soon as she came in, I smelled the smell of copper all over my body. She didn't even look at Jiang Meirong, and then said: "A businesswoman who sells tea, what kind of limelight!" Don't think that you can become a veritable noble girl with the name of a county lord. ”

Jiang Meirong looked down on the businessman when she heard her tone, and when she thought of her in-laws, her face couldn't help but blush, and she was even more jealous of Xia Qingyun in her heart.

Zhou Ruolan is Sun Tangxi's best friend on weekdays, and echoed: "Haven't you heard, she first hooked up with Zhenguo Gong, and then seduced other people's sons, tsk, I am embarrassed to say those words." ”

"The eldest princess too, how can she be close to this kind of person." Shangguan Wenyan complained vigorously, "Don't worry about handing over the county lord of Anping to her, and I'm not afraid of bringing bad children!" It's a pity that my finch has been raised for nothing for more than a year. ”

Jiang Meirong had the heart to please her, so she said: "I don't think the royal princess is anything great, and I haven't taught it well since I was a child." Three-year-olds look young, seven-year-olds look old. It's no wonder that the emperors of all dynasties have to marry their daughters and kiss them, and the province is wrapped up in chaos under their noses. ”

A few of them discussed in private, and they didn't pay attention to the third princess and the fourth princess sitting not far away.

Nangong Xue saw it when she came over, but she knew that the third princess didn't look down on Xia Qingyun, so she didn't take it seriously. Who would think that Jiang Meirong didn't have a door, she dared to say anything, it was too late to stop it.

I only heard Jiang Meirong continue: "I heard that this time the little Khan Batu also wanted to ask the emperor to marry the lord of Taiping, but he was preempted by General Zhenyuan. I don't know what good she has, and some people are rushing to ask for it. The emperor too, if you don't marry her, you can marry another daughter, for the sake of the country of Great Qi."

Nangong Xue listened to her more and more unspeakable, and even talked about the government, and hurriedly waved a handkerchief to interrupt her.

"Say, go on!" The voice of the third princess came from behind Jiang Meirong. She had heard their discussions earlier, but at the beginning, they were all talking bad about Xia Qingyun, so she didn't squeak, who would have thought that someone would start to talk nonsense about Shan'er and them.

No matter how the third princess says it, she is also of royal blood, how can she allow the daughter of the courtier to make a big deal of nonsense here. She walked over with a sneer, and the fourth princess followed closely behind.

Jiang Meirong's face turned pale with fright, and she suddenly woke up, knowing that she was speechless, and stammered: "I just want to say no."

The third princess smiled, but her tone was not good, "What is it and not, I will let you continue." Tell me, what's wrong with us princesses? Which one should be married to a family? ”

Jiang Meirong's face was pale, and she looked at Nangong Xue and Shangguan Wenyan as if asking for help. The two of them turned their heads away.

Jokes, this kind of thing can you just say? Not to mention the daughter of a small courtier, even the queen and the concubine dare not speculate on the holy will and discuss the government in vain. Let the third princess hear it again. What does it mean that trouble comes out of the mouth? A housekeeper lady is also too imprudent.

At this juncture, who dares to intercede for her? As long as the third princess says a word to the emperor, this sin will be great.

Although the third princess is not close to the eldest princess and Shan'er on weekdays, the identity of the princess and the princess is much more noble than that of these official women, how can they be allowed to slander?

Although Xia Qingyun was born as a civilian, after all, the rank of the county lord is here, and it was personally sealed by the emperor, how can you be allowed to say that it is flat? Of course, it was another matter for Princess Ben to look down on her.

Seeing that no one interceded with her, Jiang Meirong's knees weakened, and she knelt on the ground and begged: "Third princess, the courtiers are guilty, you have a lot, just spare me this time!" ”

She knelt down like this, attracting everyone's attention, and the eldest princess also pulled Shan'er and Xia Qingyun over together.

Mrs. Zhao had just arranged a ceremony in the back, and came in to invite the ladies to watch the ceremony, but she was taken aback as soon as she entered the living room. (To be continued......)
