Chapter 590: The Prince's Mansion (1) -
Today's Prince's Mansion has changed from its usual low-key, with colorful lights and bustling. The pen "fun" pavilion is full of cars and horses parked in front of the www.biquge.info door, all kinds, noble and gorgeous, the dignitaries and nobles get down from the car in turn, full of smiles, after seeing each other, they are led by the eunuchs and palace maids of the prince's mansion, and walk into the house.
The scale of today's banquet is probably the most publicized and high-profile since the opening of the prince's mansion.
The crown prince and the crown princess are both happy and quiet people, plus the crown princess has been married into the prince's mansion for many years and has not been able to give birth to a boy, probably for this reason, the prince's mansion basically does not hold banquets much.
Today is the crown princess's first birthday after giving birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, and people speculate that most of the grand birthday banquets have the meaning of raising eyebrows. In addition, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were talking about it before, the prince was assassinated by the bold magistrate when he was in Lunan, and it is said that he was seriously injured.
Whatever the reason, today's Prince's Mansion is not lost to the excitement of the palace banquet, and the guests who come are all high-ranking courtiers and their families.
At the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the guests greeted each other uninterruptedly.
Aftertaste took Su Miao out of the carriage, and the style of painting in the aftertaste was obviously different from the surrounding atmosphere, either incongruous, or completely out of place.
He paid no attention to anyone, but walked on.
The attitude of the other guests towards him was divided into two factions, one was to eagerly stick a hot face to the cold buttocks, no matter how cold and hard the aftertaste of the facial expression, the other party could also smile and come forward to talk to him, even if he didn't answer, the person who talked to him still smiled like a flower, a group of half-cut old men laughed like sycophants, Su Miao looked at them, and deeply realized that it is not easy to be an official; There is also a group of people who are far away from the aftertaste, since the aftertaste appeared, they began to stick to the root of the wall, and then peeked at him with a slightly jealous look in disdain, the unnaturalness of this peeping made Su Miao can't help but think, could it be that these people have a crush on her little taste but can't say it because of pride?
"What are you always staring at me?" Aftertaste suddenly turned his head, looked at her, and asked.
"These old men are so annoying, they always stare at you, I'm going to be jealous!" Su Miao puffed out her cheeks and said unhappily.
Aftertaste looked at her, dumbfounded.
Su Miao touched her head, and while touching, she muttered:
"Is there a bit of a sway on my head?"
"Not much." Aftertaste glanced at her bun and said, righting one of her steps that had been crooked by shaking her head.
"Brother Wei!" At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded behind her, Su Miao and the others turned around, wearing a long skirt of cherry blossoms and pink entwined branches that mopped the floor, a gauzy mask, and a slender young woman walked down from the sedan chair parked in front of the door, her watery eyes looked at the aftertaste faintly, tender and moving.
"Ah, the Xue family's little pockmarked face!" Su Xian said.
This title probably came out of Hui Gan, Hui Gan Na has been focusing on the nickname for 20 years, and Xue Mingzhu didn't have a face to see people during the first time it came out, but she was really a strong girl, and after a period of time, she was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed, and she reappeared in the rivers and lakes.
Su Miao stared at her face and touched her chin.
Huiwei glanced at Xue Mingzhu, turned around indifferently, and walked inside.
There were a lot of gloating spectators around, especially those young girls who were usually not used to seeing Xue Mingzhu's self-esteemed and domineering appearance, and they all stared at her with mocking expressions at this time.
In these hostile eyes, Xue Mingzhu was isolated, she bit her lip aggrievedly, but she was a brave person who would never give up until she reached her goal, she had such courage, so, in all kinds of eyes, she still held her head high, took a step, and pretended to walk forward calmly.
After entering the door of the prince's mansion, the male and female guests were separated, the male guests were led by the eunuchs to the Li Alcohol Hall where the princes and ministers were located, and the female guests were led by the palace maids to the Xuanruo Tower, where the female dependents gathered.
After reminiscing and instructing Su Miao, she went to the Li Alcohol Hall alone, and the three sisters of the Su family were led by the palace maid and walked towards Xuanruo Tower.
Xuanruo building is full of colorful lanterns and silk flowers, the color is gorgeous, and the atmosphere is jubilant.
In the main hall, there were already a lot of daughters in gorgeous costumes and jewels, and the air was filled with a strong smell of fat powder.
The crown princess Bai Zhi was wearing a bean blue openwork scattered flower cloud brocade straight-necked and sleeved brocade shirt, an embroidered yellow background pinched teeth and a floral oblique skirt, holding a camel gray crane pattern tulle brocade, and her long black and soft hair pulled a startling bun, and wore a set of plain jade heads. As the crown princess, her makeup is simple and low-key, which is very in line with her gentle temperament.
Probably because the hostess likes simplicity, the guests here did not dare to choose too gaudy outfits, and could only desperately show luxury in the details, and the necklines and cuffs were just a little clever decoration, which was worth a lot.
The atmosphere in Xuanruo's building was very harmonious, Bai Zhi was sharing the child's affairs with a few young women who had become mothers, and when she saw Su Miao enter the door, she smiled warmly when she looked over.
Su Miao walked up to Bai Zhi and saluted each other.
In Xuanruo Building, because of the arrival of the three sisters of the Su family, whispers began to sound like flies.
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Chan in men's clothes, defeating the warriors of the Kosi Kingdom, winning the favor of His Royal Highness the Martial King, the future Martial King's side concubine, each of which is quite topical, and it is difficult for people to ignore it.
"This is Miss Su San, right?" Bai Zhi's gaze also fell on Su Chan, and said with a smile, "The warrior who defeated the Kosi country is really a great girl, when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!" ”
was rarely praised, Su Chan glanced at her and fluttered her eyes.
Bai Zhi smiled.
At that moment, a sneer rang out from the corner, and the man said in a sarcastic tone:
"Isn't that just a man, a good woman looks like a man, and it's disgusting to see it!"
Su Miao and Su Xian followed the prestige and found that Xue Youyi, Xue Zizhen, Wei Yilin and others were standing not far away, and this group of people were all looking at them with slanted eyes, whispering, contemptuous and mocking, the voice was not loud, but they could be heard very clearly in Xuan Ruolou.
"It's these guys again." Su Xian snorted, rolled her eyes, and said.
Su Miao swept her eyes around them, turned her head, and ignored them.
Su Chan didn't look back at all.
"Sister, how can you speak, Miss Su San repelled the warriors of the Kosi Kingdom and is the hero of the Yue Liang Kingdom." Xue Zizhen smiled, moved the lotus step lightly, walked over elegantly, stood in front of Su Chan, held his head high, and released the innate elegance and dignity of being a beautiful lady.
The original candidate for Concubine Wuwang was her, and even she couldn't understand how this man-like woman could suddenly insert a lever, not only replacing her good marriage, but also causing her to be ridiculed.
Can you not be ridiculed, she, a gentle and dignified lady, actually lost to a coffin board woman like a man!
She couldn't bear it!
"Beaten all over the ground by a woman looking for teeth, that black slave in Corsi is still worthy of being called a 'warrior'? Don't be clever when you cheat, laugh to death! Xue Youyi looked at Su Chan with provocative eyes, and said with a sneer in a sarcastic tone.
This time, Xue Zizhen didn't stop her, but looked at her with a smile.
"You can do it, you can't talk nonsense! Finagle? What is the purpose of fraud? To lie to you? Who do you think you are? Su Miao had hated this stinky girl with a broken mouth since before, snorted, and said contemptuously.
Xue Youyi was choked and glared at her angrily.
"Second Miss Su, Youyi just said it casually, there is no other meaning, don't take it to heart." Xue Zizhen opened her mouth, smiled gently, looked at Su Chan, and said with a soft smile, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Wu has hired Su San, is this really true?" Does Miss Su San really want to become the side concubine of King Wu? No, let's not say that it's just a side concubine, just say how could His Royal Highness King Wu hire such a special girl as Miss Su San, if this matter is true, it is too incredible, if this matter is said, probably the whole Liang will not believe it. ”
She obviously heard about it, but she deliberately asked it in public, and said all kinds of cynicism in an ordinary chatting tone.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and people were waiting for Su Chan's reaction.
Su Chan looked at her coldly, even though she felt that the other party was asking with bad intentions, she couldn't understand the meaning of her asking.
Su Chan didn't speak, and behind her, a sharp voice sounded:
"What's wrong with the girls in Liang Duli recently, in front of the public, they are not ashamed to ask about other people's marriages, where have they learned the etiquette? How did Mrs. Xue teach her daughter, and she allowed her daughter to be rude and presumptuous on such an occasion, this is the tutor of the Xue family? ”
Everyone was startled, and when they turned around, the noble and gorgeous Princess Jingyang was standing at the gate, what she said just now was what she said, she looked at Xue Zizhen coldly, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were sharp, and she seemed to be able to pierce her through a hole.
Xue Zizhen didn't know where she had offended the eldest princess, her eyes made Xue Zizhen's heart chuckle, and her face turned white.
Mrs. Xue immediately came out of the queue and smiled embarrassedly:
The eldest princess was angry, and Zizhen was spoiled by the courtiers, and she had no mouth to hide. Zizhen, don't hurry up to ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for her guilt and apologize to Miss Su San! She glared at her daughter.
Xue Zizhen's face turned blue, and he couldn't be sarcastic, but put himself in. In the face of many lively eyes, she gritted her teeth and said with a dry smile:
"It's Zizhen's recklessness, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess forgives her sins. Miss Susan, she cherishes too much of herself, Miss Susan, don't take it to heart. ”
Su Chan ignored her, she looked at Liang Qi, a trace of caution flashed in her eyes, and her face became even colder.
"Third Sister Su, I heard that my second brother was rejected by you, do you hate my second brother?" Liang Xi was wearing an apricot-white embroidered gold palace dress, elegant and refined, more delicate than flowers, she had been standing at the door just now with her mouth pursed to watch the excitement, and then she stepped forward and asked Su Chan with a smile.
Liang Qi glanced at her, and his face was not very good-looking.
Regarding Su Chan's rejection of Liang Ao, Liang Qi didn't tell anyone, but Liang Xi announced in Xuanruolou that tomorrow the whole Liang would know that His Royal Highness King Wu wanted the three girls of the Su family to be side concubines, but the three girls of the Su family refused.
"Yunluo!" She frowned and whispered in displeasure.
"What's wrong? I already refused! Liang Xi didn't seem to understand why Liang Qi was angry at all, and continued to ask Su Chan, "Third Sister Su, do you hate my second brother?" ”
Su Chan was impatient with her question, stretched her face, and spit out two words stiffly:
"Nasty."
Liang Xi blinked her eyes twice, and suddenly laughed, she hugged her stomach, laughed, and burst into tears:
"Hahaha! The second brother is hated! Hahahaha! ”
The audience was shocked, and they all looked at Su Chan with incomprehensible eyes.
Su Miao noticed Liang Xi's wrist, Liang Xi's wrist was tied with something that did not match her dress today and her noble princess status, a bracelet woven with wild grass, and it was still slightly exuding the unique fresh smell of nature.
She simply thought it was strange.
Liang Xi was still laughing, no matter how Liang Qi glared at her, she laughed heartily.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the news that the three girls of the Su family hated His Royal Highness King Wu spread throughout the Prince's Mansion, and Liang Ao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot in the various ridicules and ridicules of his friends and brothers.
What right do you have to say that you hate me, I haven't disliked you yet!
……
After sitting in Xuanruo Tower for half an hour, a eunuch came to invite the princess to lead all the female guests to the Li Alcohol Palace, ready to have a banquet and listen to the play.
Bai Zhi got up with a smile and led everyone to the Li Alcohol Palace.
It takes a long way to get from Xuanruo Tower to Li Alcohol Palace, and the noble ladies are not good at walking, so the Prince's Mansion has prepared many single sedan chairs for people to carry to Li Alcohol Palace.
Su Miao sat in the sedan chair, leaning on with a bored face, because the sedan curtain was impermeable, her eyes were full of the dark blue of the sedan chair, very boring.
The sedan chair swayed, and I didn't know how far I went, when suddenly there was a sudden brake, Su Miao was defenseless, and pounced forward by inertia, but fortunately grabbed the seat and didn't fall. Before she could figure out what was going on, Xue Mingzhu's voice came through the sedan curtain and came into her ears:
"Miss Su, get out of the sedan chair and talk to me!"
Su Miao was speechless, wanting to nest in the sedan chair and pretend to be dead, but the sedan chair no longer moved forward, Xue Mingzhu was again and again outside the sedan chair and asked her to get off the sedan chair, she couldn't resist her, so she had to open the sedan curtain and walk out.
On the road between plum blossoms, in addition to the colorful petals, there is only the sedan chair of the two of them. The other sedan chairs had probably gone away a long time ago, and no one found that Xue Mingzhu used the sedan chair to intercept Su Miao's sedan chair and block her way.
Xue Mingzhu saw that she finally got off the sedan chair, and behind the veil, her red lips hooked up a triumphant smile.
"Miss Su, let's find a quiet place to talk." She said in a haughty tone, turned around, and walked straight into the depths of Merlin.
"Why should I talk to you?" Su Miao couldn't cry or laugh.
Xue Mingzhu turned his head with irritating sarcasm and provocation in his eyes.
"Is Miss Su afraid of me?" She asked with a smile.
Su Miao: "......"
Xue Mingzhu had already walked towards the depths of Merlin.
Su Miao couldn't call the sedan chair man who carried her, so she had no choice but to follow Xue Mingzhu to Meilin.
This stinky girl, just squash her! (To be continued.) )
