Chapter Thirty-Eight: The King's Appointment

Within a few days, Cheng Yiyao received an invitation from King Jing's Mansion, and she didn't expect that this Shunyun County Lord still remembered the flower painting, and she thought it was just a child's whim.

But since she was invited over, Cheng Yiyao naturally couldn't lose the face of the Guogong Mansion, although she was the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, but after all, she was a white body without grade, the county lord was from the title of a product, and naturally not all the daughters of the prince could be crowned the county lord, the county lord of Shunyun was the eldest daughter of King Jing, and the only concubine so far, and she was named the county lord when she was one year old.

At this time, it was already spring, but there was still a little bit of winter coolness, so it couldn't be too thin, but it didn't need to be too thick, Cheng Yiyao wore a pomegranate skirt, and picked a thick skirt inside.

asked An Lan to comb a double flat bun, with a pair of ruby beaded flowers, no more, no less, no less, which complemented the pomegranate skirt, after all, it was not a grand occasion, so it would not be too complicated and would not be rude.

Cheng Yiqi was also invited this time, and after packing up as Yiyao, he went to Yuhe Courtyard.

Before entering the door, he heard the laughter inside, and was welcomed into the east room by the maid, Cheng Yiyao bent down and saluted: "I've seen Madame!" ”

"Come and sit!" Wang's voice couldn't hear joy and anger, it seemed that the events of the previous day had been adjusted, and when he turned his head, he saw that Cheng Yiqi was already sitting on the small pestle on the side, and when he saw her, he got up and saluted and said hello.

She was wearing an aqua blue palace satin plain snow silk skirt, combing a shelf head, and a set of jade jade beads hairpin on it, looking upright and generous.

Cheng Yiyao was a little funny in her heart, this sister is really good, you have to press her head for anything, she didn't go to the banquet today, although she looks really good, but isn't she tired with the jewelry on her little head?

But this is also Cheng Yiyao thinks about it herself, it seems that Cheng Yiqi and the Wang family don't think there is anything wrong, she naturally doesn't go back to be bored, goodbye to the Wang family, and the two sisters left the Guogong Mansion and went to Jingwang's Mansion.

King Jing's Mansion is located in the most central position of the imperial city, soft Jiao did not stop until she entered the back garden, led forward by the maids, this road is full of flowers and plants, put a little crowded, many are contained in flower pots, not long to see the lord of Shunyun and a few young ladies in the lake pavilion.

"Come, I'll introduce you!" The county lord of Shunyun got up and said to the few young ladies beside him, "This is the eldest lady of the Chengguo family, and this is the second young lady." ”

"Yiyao, this is Princess Nanling!" The lord of Shunyun refers to the fact that the girl looks about the same age as Cheng Yiyao, and is the eldest princess of the current saint, one year older than Cheng Yiyao.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Don't be polite, I'm here to play today, I've heard Shunyun say that you've been painting flowers for a long time, I'm really curious, I'll have to let us see it later." Princess Nanling said with a smile.

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, if the princess doesn't dislike it, she will naturally be happy!"

Lord Shunyun hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, come, these are the young ladies of the Situ family, this is Sister Situ Yue!" Princess Shunyun pulled a girl and said, looking at the appearance of being about ten years old.

Obviously, the county lord of Shunyun likes this Miss Situ Yue very much, this Situ family is the Situ family who once retired the old lady of Anning Bofu, and it is said that the very famous Mrs. Situ is also a county lord, and this Situ family is also a relative of the emperor, but it was already three generations ago.

Cheng Yiyao only remembered at this time that this Situ Yue was not the princess who later married the prince of King Jing, so when she thought about it, she suddenly realized that her feelings were that this was the future sister-in-law to see her sister-in-law, but it seems that the county lord of Shunyun likes this Miss Situ very much, and it is no wonder that he will introduce this Miss Situ Yue to her.

This Miss Situ's father, the third master of the Situ family, is a doctor from the first grade, the Situ family is also a big family, after the death of the old prime minister Situ, it was really depressed for a few years, the only son of the old prime minister, that is, the current old lady Situ, is a do-nothing, after the second miss of the Yan Yuanbo family, he has not been able to marry a wife, and later married the current old lady Zhang.

This old lady is just the daughter of a four-grade petty official born in a poor family, frail and sickly since childhood, when she was eighteen years old, she married the old lady Situ who was eleven years older than her, but this old lady ate the old lady Situ to death, three days of a minor illness and five days of a major illness, but she gave birth to three sons and a daughter in good health, this Situ Yue is the daughter of the eldest son of the old lady Zhang.

It is said that the reason why Cheng Yiyao knows so much about their family's affairs is because she almost got married to his family, but the situation in his family is too chaotic, so the Duchess refused to do so.

The old lady of the Situ family didn't know if it was because she was tossed too badly by Mrs. Tai back then, and completely inherited her mother-in-law's inconsistencies.

At that time, Prime Minister Situ was still alive, if he didn't know this grandson who grew up very well, maybe he would think that the third master was a shameless man who was greedy and lustful like outsiders, maybe he could really only marry Zhang's niece.

With such a reputation, if he didn't marry Zhang's niece, who would dare to marry his daughter to him, but Prime Minister Situ resolutely disagreed with this family affair, dragged his sick body and took his grandson to Taiwei's Mansion to ask for forgiveness, begging to marry the eldest lady of Taiwei's family, and let the third master make a military order.

This old prime minister Situ has done his best in the court all his life, and no one admires him, but his wisdom has been affected by two women, and the thing that the old prime minister Situ regrets the most is that he did not try his best to save the second lady of Yan Yuanbo's family, and things got worse and worse later.

In the end, the third master Situ was brought out by the old prime minister, and he relied on himself step by step to sit in the current position of the imperial doctor.

The eldest lady of Zhai Taiwei's family and Cheng Yiyao's mother are handkerchiefs, and when they were not out of the cabinet, they said that they wanted to marry their children, even if the Situ family was like that later, the relationship between the Cui family and the Zhai family was also excellent, and the Situ family came to marry Cheng Yiyao is the second son of the third master and the eldest son, this young master Situ is said to be weak and sickly, and he did not make a family affair at the age of seventeen, and then the Zhai family had to come to the Chengguo Mansion.

At that time, Cheng Yiyao was only twelve years old, and in the situation of the Situ family, not to mention that there were two layers of mother-in-law, the mother-in-law was still unclear, and she did not play cards according to common sense at all, and the Duchess was naturally reluctant to Cheng Yiyao, although she was embarrassed to say it, she still refused.

Cheng Yiyao did not leave a trace of a large number of Situ Yue, although she was only ten years old, but she was already slim on the ground, Cheng Yiqi was a beauty, but Cheng Yiyao seemed to have a lot of Miss Situ.

"Yiyao, show them quickly, I told them that they still don't believe it!" Although there were a lot of people who saw it, it was obvious that these few people were not present at the time, "You see I'm ready for you!" As he spoke, he pointed to a large pile of safflower wood, as well as some other petals.

Cheng Yiyao showed the fiery crane in front of everyone in a few clicks, and several sisters-in-law saw that their eyes were straight: "Good sister, teach me quickly!" Princess Nanling held Cheng Yiyao's arm and said without image at all.

"These are actually not difficult, similar to embroidery, choose patterns, embroidery threads, this is also to choose a look and then choose the right flower to make a flower painting!" Cheng Yiyao explained.

"That's what you say!" Lord Shunyun looked left and right around the table and came to a conclusion, "I'm going to try!" ”

Cheng Yiqi was a little unconvinced: "No, this is similar to embroidery, it looks simpler!" Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she didn't say more, and could only stand aside stupidly.
