Chapter 622: Winter
The marriage of Spring Leaves and Autumn Leaves is scheduled for the tenth day of the lunar month at the end of the year, Ruoyun means that the two will get married on the same day, and good things will come into pairs, and it will be a beautiful talk in the future.
Although some are in a hurry, but with Ruoyun's strong financial backing, everything that should be prepared can also be prepared with the best.
And in order to prevent the two from being looked down upon after they got married, Ruoyun also invited her aunt Mrs. Anyang Hou to recognize the two as righteous daughters.
Although she is only a righteous daughter, the Hou Mansion of Anyang also celebrated with a grand wine, invited friends and friends, as well as the Kang family and the Han family to witness.
Mrs. Anyang Hou, a total of two sons, no daughters, now has two beautiful and capable eldest daughters, it is very happy, the day of the wine was held very grandly, in public let the names of spring leaves and autumn leaves in her name of the righteous daughter.
In this way, the two of them can barely be regarded as nobles, and they are a lot taller from their backgrounds, and they are also people who have a genuine mother's family to rely on.
And Mrs. Anyang Hou, when preparing for their marriage, was even more active than Ruoyun, and she was busy choosing a dowry with a smile on her face every day, and she really treated her as if she were her own daughter getting married! ――
In this joyful and lively atmosphere, this autumn has passed, and the winter of the north has come.
Since the beginning of winter, the nobles and nobles in the capital have begun to hold various plum banquets and snow banquets to adjust the dull atmosphere in winter, and to enhance exchanges with each other and expand their contacts by the way.
Ruoyun here has also received a lot of posts to participate in the banquet, after all, the people in the capital now know a lot about her, the lord of Anyang, and they will no longer treat her as a dumpling from the countryside, but as a dazzling pearl, so both large and small banquets are proud to invite her.
But usually she doesn't go to participate, just let someone send a gift, otherwise she goes to every banquet, it is estimated that she has no time to do anything else every day, so she can only shuttle between various banquets every day.
However, there are a few banquets that she can't refuse, and today is a banquet she must attend.
This is the eldest princess's birthday party.
The eldest princess Chu Zijing was born by Concubine De, she was the emperor's first child, and now she is twenty-five years old, and she is married to Shen Zhongfei, the eldest son of Shen Zi'an, the prime minister.
When the eldest princess was born, the emperor had not inherited the big treasure, she was the only child born to the emperor outside the palace, it is said that she has the appearance of the country and the city, and because it is the first child, so the emperor is still different from other children, very favored.
not only chose a gentle and elegant husband for her, but also wore red makeup when she got married, which amazed the entire capital, which can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors.
However, no one is perfect, God doesn't seem to be able to see that there is too much happy life in this world, so that the eldest princess, a person who is very beautiful in everything, is not so perfect after marriage.
His husband is very good to her, and he gets along very well with his in-laws, but because Concubine De was frightened when she was a princess, she was a little weak in the womb, and the eldest princess was not strong after she was born.
However, the imperial doctor has been recuperating a lot over the years, and his body has improved a lot, but he will not get sick at every turn.
However, after she got married, she didn't come out for three years, and the doctor checked it and said that the eldest princess's body was too cold, and I was afraid it would be difficult to conceive.
As soon as this result came out, the eldest princess took the initiative to give her husband a concubine after a while, and when she went to this concubine room in the New Year, she gave birth to a son for this big concubine, named Shen Shikai, and now she is raised in the name of the eldest princess as a concubine.
Which woman in the world is willing to take a concubine for her husband, and which woman is willing to raise someone else's child, so the eldest princess seems to be very good, but the pain in this may be known to her own later.
In fact, with an identity like the eldest princess, a concubine is generally not allowed to take a concubine, even if she can't give birth to a son, the Shen family doesn't dare to say anything, after all, it is already a great honor for the royal princess to marry into your family.
The eldest princess took the initiative to give birth to a concubine for her husband, and also said that because her husband was the eldest son in the family, she couldn't let her husband cut off the incense because of her, so she took the initiative to give her husband a concubine.
During that time, the words of the eldest princess, as well as the behavior of the eldest princess, were rumored to be beautiful for a while, and they were a model of virtuous and virtuous virtues, and a model for women all over the world to learn.
Therefore, the eldest princess is not only favored by the emperor, but also has a reputation for the world to emulate, her post, Ruoyun can't refuse-
In the early winter of the capital, the cold is getting deeper, and the air has already brought some cold and cold taste, and the breath that comes out of the mouth will form a trace of green smoke in the air.
Compared with the spring and summer, it has been a little lonely on the streets of the capital, at this time, a gorgeous six-wheeled vehicle walks on the smooth bluestone road that has been rubbed by pedestrians thousands of times, and passes lightly, but it is a long way away.
In this carriage, Yu Miaoling said to Ruoyun with a smile on her face: "Yun'er, thanks to you this time, I can follow me to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to see and see!" ”
"Sister Yu, where is it, the post in the eldest princess's mansion is the girl in our house who was invited, and Sister Yu also has a share, maybe I still entrust Sister Yu's blessing!" Ruoyun lightly took a cup of hot tea and said with a smile.
"Don't put gold on my face, what kind of identity am I, the princess's mansion actually wants to invite you, we are just giving some face by the way!" Yu Miaoling also smiled.
"Sister Yu, you are smart and benevolent, why are you so arrogant, maybe the eldest princess wants to invite you over after hearing your good name to see the true face of your good girl!"
"Yun'er, you're laughing at me!" Yu Miaoling didn't follow and pretended to be angry.
"However, it would be nice if Yu'er and Bing'er could come, our sisters usually stay in the house, and finally have the opportunity to go out to play, but the two of them can't come!" Yu Miaoling regretted the way.
This time, because Bai Ruoyu was still keeping filial piety, he couldn't go out to participate in this kind of banquet, and Sun Bing, who also lived in the mansion, was unwell the day before departure, so he couldn't travel, so only Ruoyun and Yu Miaoling were left to go to the banquet.
When I arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, there were already a lot of vehicles parked at the door, and the big horse was wearing a purple robe, standing at the door to welcome guests.
Ruoyun glanced at the big horse and found that he was indeed better than Pan An, and he was dignified, and he immediately had a dazzling aura when he stood at the door, which made people see it at a glance.
Moreover, it is said that he is also very talented, he participated in the imperial examination at the age of eighteen, and when he took the palace examination that year, he relied on his own ability to be admitted to the Tanhua of that year, which can be described as young and talented, no wonder the emperor married his eldest daughter who loved him so much.
The big horse had also seen Ruoyun and Yu Miaoling, but because of the relationship of avoiding suspicion, he did not come to greet him, but gave a salute from afar, which was a welcome.
Ruoyun and Yu Miaoling also returned the salute from a distance, and they were about to follow the grandmother sent by the eldest princess to welcome guests into the inner courtyard.
Who knows, as soon as she turned around, she heard someone behind her calling her, "Yun'er, what a coincidence, I met you here!" ”
Ruoyun frowned slightly when he heard this, but he still turned around and saluted the other party.
Behind her are a pair of men and women, the male is King Zhao, and the female is Wang Wanting.
Wang Wanting was helped by the girl to take a step back from King Zhao, and at this time, both of them looked at them with a smile on their faces.
"I've seen King Zhao, I've seen Concubine Side!" Ruoyun followed Yu Miaoling to greet King Zhao and Wang Wanting first.
"Lord Anyang, Miss Yu, excuse yourself!" King Zhao said.
"Yun'er, why do you want to see me like this, I am your cousin, what do we call our sisters when we meet, just call me cousin, as for the prince, you should also call your cousin-in-law, do you say yes, prince!" Wang Wanting stepped forward very intimately and grabbed King Zhao's arm and said.
King Zhao was also very happy, and gently patted Wang Wanting holding his hand and said, "Of course, it should be!" ”
Looking at the appearance of these two people, it was like a harmonious and beautiful couple, Ruoyun wondered, what about Princess Zhao? It is said that Princess Zhao should accompany King Zhao to participate in this kind of occasion, but why did Wang Wanting and a side concubine go out with her.
As for the question just now, Ruoyun just smiled, but did not answer, indicating that he didn't want to say more.
This pair of men and women once wanted to hurt her, but at this time, they pretended to be casual here and were close to her, she really didn't need to give them this face, but it was just superficial.
Seeing that Ruoyun didn't answer, Wang Wanting was slightly angry in her heart, gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
Because she was able to come out with King Zhao this time, her biggest task was to have a good relationship with Ruoyun.
Recently, she has been very unsatisfactory in King Zhao's Mansion, because of Sun Xin's pregnancy, everything in the mansion is centered on Sun Xin, no matter what it is, everything has to be picked by Sun Xin before it can be their turn, and even Princess Zhao has to retreat.
At the beginning, she was dissatisfied that Sun Xin was so domineering with her stomach, and she had been pestering the prince, so she took advantage of King Zhao's absence in the mansion to go to Sun Xin's courtyard to rely on the identity of the side concubine, and gave her a good time.
However, that night, Sun Xin said that her stomach hurt, and then found out that it was because she was scared, King Zhao was very angry when he found out, and ordered her feet to be banned, and he didn't let her go out for a whole month, nor did he go to her yard to stay overnight, and even the people in the house began to ignore her, so she was afraid and didn't dare to provoke Sun Xin anymore.
But even after she lifted the ban, King Zhao went to her yard a lot less, and he was cold to her, she knew that this was mainly because her mother's family was not strong and refused to help King Zhao, so King Zhao would not value her so much.
However, her father, Anyang Hou, has always been cold to her daughter, she can't control her father's thoughts at all, and she can't talk to her mother about the affairs of Anyang Hou's mansion.
Later, Wang Wanting used a lot of methods to get King Zhao to treat her the same as before, so she was very anxious.
If a woman, especially a childless woman, loses her husband's favor in the inner court, the consequences must be miserable.
A few days ago, King Zhao suddenly came to her courtyard, Wang Wanting was flattered, very happy, and tried her best to serve King Zhao very comfortably, and King Zhao also mentioned to her that he wanted to bring her to attend the eldest princess's birthday banquet.
At that time, she was very happy, thinking that she was favored by King Zhao again, and she didn't want King Zhao to change her words, so she told her that she must have a good relationship with Bai Ruoyun that day, and she must let Bai Ruoyun come to the mansion more often.
Only then did she know that it was not that she had won King Zhao's favor again, but that King Zhao had something for her to do, and now she was using her.
She was depressed in her heart, because she knew that she had always had a bad relationship with Bai Ruoyun, and Bai Ruoyun, a girl, was in the same group as her mother-in-law, and she didn't care about her at all.
However, she didn't dare to tell King Zhao that she couldn't do it, if she did, I was afraid that what was waiting for her would be forever left out in the cold, so she must seize this opportunity, no matter what way she thinks, she must let Bai Ruoyun get close to her.
It's just that the depression and resentment in her heart are already very strong, the little girl who looked useless back then, but now she has to go to great lengths to stammer, I really can't swallow this breath!
"Hehe, Yun'er, I just happened to meet you, I'll go in with you!" Wang Wanting stepped forward and grabbed Ruoyun's arm affectionately, and then turned back to King Zhao and said gently: "Lord Wang, you go to the outer courtyard with the big horse, don't worry about me, I'll go to the inner courtyard with Yun'er and them to see the eldest princess!" ”
When Ruoyun heard this, not only pouted, when did she agree, when did this Wang Wanting become so thick-skinned!
King Zhao was quite happy to see it, and said to Wang Wanting: "Your sisters are just getting together, and I will greet my eldest sister." When the county lord of Anyang and Miss Yu are okay in the future, they can go to King Zhao's Mansion to play! ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with the big colt that had already come to greet him.
"Yun'er, let's go in, don't let the eldest princess wait for a long time!" Wang Wanting said familiarly.
Along the way, it was basically Wang Wanting and Yu Miaoling who were talking, Ruoyun just smiled slightly and didn't speak at all.
Wang Wanting saw that Ruoyun had not spoken, and she was still angry in her heart, thinking that Ruoyun was taking a shelf and deliberately giving her an ugly look, she glanced at Yu Miaoling, who was talking to her, and said with a smile on her face: "Everyone says that our Yun'er and Miss Yu look alike, when we meet like this today, it really seems to be, if you don't know people, I'm afraid you will think that you are sisters!" ”
After saying this, she still laughed and laughed happily, as if she were telling some funny joke.
But in fact, the meaning of these words is deliberately angry, just ask Ruoyun's identity and status, how can people be willing to compare her with Yu Miaoling, and she also said that Ruoyun is like Yu Miaoling, not like Ruoyun Miaoling, as if Ruoyun is not as good as Yu Miaoling!
When Ruoyun heard this, she still smiled and didn't speak, just like no one, which made Wang Wanting feel like she was punching the cotton, and her heart was even more panicked! R1152
