Chapter 432: The Rite of Passage (3)
In the fiefdom, Qi Yuexi (the county lord of Zhen) already knew about Qi Yueling's being named the county lord of Yuegui, and the quasi-princess of Prince Yong's mansion, Xia Shuyao, becoming the county lord of Qi, and then becoming the county lord of Fuxing.
It was impossible not to be jealous, and even the mother complained to her father, regretting that she had not left her with the imperial grandmother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the capital last night, I heard that Xia Shuyao was actually promoted to the lord of your county and enjoyed the treatment of the eldest princess.
Not only that, when she entered the palace early this morning to say hello, she could clearly feel the emperor's grandmother's love for Xia Shuyao, and kept saying that the two sisters should get along with Shu Yao more and let Min'er learn more from Shu Yao. There are also the four princesses and the lord of Yuegui, who have already left the palace so early, saying that they are going to Fumanyuan to participate in the ceremony.
By the way, why didn't you see them, Qi Yuexi looked around and asked, "Sister Yan, Sister Han'er and Sister Yue'er haven't arrived yet?" ”
Before Sima Yan could open her mouth, a girl who arrived earlier next to her preemptively said: "The fourth princess and the county lord Yuegui arrived early in the morning, but they didn't come to the guest area, and went directly to accompany the county lord of Fuxing." ”
Is the relationship really so close? Something flashed in Qi Yuexi's eyes quickly, so fast that people could hardly detect it, but Sima Yan caught the unwillingness. Secretly snorted coldly, what can you do if you are unwilling? She didn't think that Qi Yuexi was stronger than herself, and she could fight Xia Shuyao. Then Qi Yueyi (Lord Min) had no hope, thinking that she was pampered by Prince Qi and Princess Qi, and just after appearing, she had already seen that Qi Yueyi was a self-righteous and unruly girl at all.
Sima Yan has been by the Queen Mother's side for so many years, and she knows that what the Queen Mother dislikes the most is her brutal temperament. Although she is also the daughter of Prince Qi. This Min Jun mainly wants to be as favored as her sister-in-law back then. I'm afraid it's not easy.
But what does all this have to do with her? Because of the embarrassing situation, she can't be more low-key now, although everyone calls her "Lord Yan", as if they have forgotten that she once had another identity, but she knows very well that they disdain her in their hearts, they are jealous that she can escape such a catastrophe under the protection of the Queen Mother, and despise her as a "traitor and abandoned woman", who knows how these people slander her behind her back?
So. Nowadays, she is more willing to see others make a fool of herself, and she can't wait for more "liveliness" in the circle of nobles in the capital to attract everyone's attention. Maybe this Lord Min has such potential!
In this world, Qi Yuexin's biggest dislike is probably Qi Yueling and Xia Shuyao, especially when others say how close those two are in front of her, which makes her feel that she is sarcastic. is a family, but the identities of those two people are far higher than her, and they both reject her, just because she is a concubine.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, Qi Yuexi turned to her and said affectionately, "Sister Xin." I heard that you are married, and you are still Mrs. Bangyan. Congratulations. I don't think it will take a few years, and Sister Xin will be able to add her life. ”
Qi Yuexin gritted her teeth very much, just now someone mentioned the county lord of Fuxing and the county lord of Yuegui, Qi Yuexi told her what to do, is it to remind everyone that she, the eldest daughter of Prince Yong's mansion, is not qualified to be the county lord? Not to mention super-grade county lords like Xia Shuyao and Qi Yueling, even the Qi Yuexi sisters and Yan county lords, where are these people rare and fatal?
If it was the previous temper, Qi Yuexin would definitely throw away her sleeves. However, since the Chen Yueying incident, she has learned some lessons from it and has grown a little more scheming. And in the past two days, Concubine Zhao has talked a lot to her and reminded her of many things, for fear that she will make some trouble when the nobles gather today.
Qi Yuexin secretly pinched herself, as if she didn't hear the voiceover, and smiled softly: "Thank you Lord Zhen, Lord Zhen's marriage is enviable." Who in the capital doesn't know that in order to prepare for the big wedding, Prince Xu sent his childhood sweetheart's cousin away. ”
The people who were close to the scene were stunned, Qi Yuexin, ...... this? The eldest son of Prime Minister Xu You's family and Lord Zhen have had a marriage contract since they were children, and Lord Zhen returned to Beijing this time to prepare for the wedding at the end of the year.
Just a month ago, her cousin, who had lived in Xufu since she was a child, was sent back to her hometown in Jinju. And the cousin girl of the Xu family is said to have died of both parents and can only live with her grandmother and aunt's family. Her aunt (that is, Prime Minister Xu's wife) cherished her niece and took her to live in Xu's mansion when she was very young.
The Xu Mansion was very densely covered, but the news still came out, and now it has basically become an open secret: Xu Dagongzi and the two cousins who have no guesses are in love, and the big wedding is approaching, and finally the strong love broke out, and even discussed elopement, which was discovered by Prime Minister Xu and his wife, and quickly warned him sternly, and sent the cousin back.
Mo said that Mrs. Xu and Princess Qi were like sisters since childhood, and this family affair was decided by them early in the morning, and they rushed to Prince Qi is the most distressed son of the Queen Mother, and Xu Fu also concluded that this family affair could not be wrong.
It's just that what about the heart of Prince Xu? Can it really be taken back?
……
Qi Yuexin made such a big fuss, didn't she slap Lord Zhen in the face in public?
Many people looked at Qi Yuexi: Does the Lord of Zhenjun know about this matter? If you know that Qi Yuexin slaps her face like this, will Lord Zhen be furious?
In the blink of an eye, Qi Yuexi's face paused quickly, and he grabbed Lord Min, who was about to open his mouth to refute Qi Yuexin, and said, "What Sister Xin said is that the Xu Mansion is a family with rules. Min'er, look at the rockery over there, there seems to be a waterfall, let's go over and have a look, Sister Yan, let's go together. ”
Sima Yan, who was happy in her heart, smiled: "Okay, we were preparing to go over just now." "She was impressed by Qi Yuexin today, this trick was played well with a tooth for a tooth, and it made Lord Zhen step on the shit, but Lord Zhen is really more and more forbearing, such a person is terrible.
Sima Yan could see clearly that the county lord Zhen just wanted to cover up his sister Min's rude performance just now, and pulled Qi Yuexin out to the bottom to divert everyone's attention, but she didn't expect Qi Yuexin not only not to be as mad as she expected, but also to counter her with a light face.
At this moment, a steward of the Lianghou Mansion came and invited the guests to prepare to return to the main hall, and the ceremony was about to begin. A group of maids dressed in uniform pink gowns, under the instructions of the mother-in-law, went to all parts of the garden to find the guests who were watching the scenery.
At this time, Qi Yuexi had completely recovered her noble and elegant posture, and asked Sima Yan as she walked: "By the way, Sister Yan, do you know who Zhengbin is today?" ”
Sima Yan was stunned: "It should be Mrs. Weiyuanhou, right?" She didn't expect Qi Yuexi to suddenly ask about this, with her understanding of Qi Yuexi, it must not be that simple. (To be continued......)
