Li Jing looked at Yuan Yiyi's slightly swollen face, crying pear blossom with rain eyes, a touch of distress rose in his heart, and he stroked his forehead helplessly: "Mother, you go to rest first, I'm a little tired, let Yiyi wait for me to rest." ”

Old Madam Li didn't seem to be angry, and glared at Yuan Yiyi fiercely before turning to leave.

As soon as Mrs. Li walked on the front foot, Yuan Yiyi sat down in front of the dresser angrily, holding the mirror to look at her face, fortunately, although it was a little swollen, there was no broken skin, if it left a little scar on her white jade-like face, she would definitely make this dead old woman pay the price.

"My mother has that temper, don't worry about her."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Yiyi's grievances in the past month broke out in an all-round way, and Douda's tears kept falling.

Whenever Li Jing was not at home, Mrs. Li tried all kinds of ways to torture her, openly and secretly accusing her of delaying Li Jing's future.

"Why are you crying again!" Li Jing looked at her impatiently, and Meng Qiqi's figure couldn't help flashing in his mind, that woman, even if she worked so hard when she set out on the expedition, she never frowned.

Yuan Yiyi didn't notice Li Jing's abnormality, and said with a sob: "Your mother just looks down on my background, and thinks that I am an orphan girl who is not worthy of your dignified Yuanlang, and has missed your good future." ”

Li Jing's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, in fact, what his mother said was right, if it wasn't for his rejection of Meng Qiqi at the beginning, he wouldn't have put his legs in it for a future.

"Which parent is not looking forward to Jackie Chan, you also have to understand."

Yuan Yiyi still wanted to say a few words, but turned her head and saw Li Jing's face full of gloom, so she had to swallow all the grievances, wiped her tears and walked to Li Jing's side, thoughtfully pinched his body for him, and said softly: "Yiyi knows, but since we got married, my husband has been busy with his career, I ...... There is no strong mother's family, many official ladies and ladies in Beijing look down on me, and they are unwilling to associate with me, although women's families cannot go to the court, but if you can have a good relationship with the ladies and ladies, it will also be helpful to your career. ”

Remembering that a few days ago, she went to the Treasure Pavilion in Beijing to hang out, and met the eldest lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Ningning, with a few young ladies from the Shilang Mansion who were also shopping, so she took the initiative to go forward to say hello.

It was Jiang Ningning who pulled her aside and quietly told her that the young ladies were all from official eunuch families, and they had been pampered since childhood, so they naturally felt superior, and to put it bluntly, they looked down on her, a commoner-born woman.

In fact, Yuan Yiyi's beauty can be regarded as one of the best in Beijing, plus Li Jing Xiwen, in order to cater to Li Jing, she has also put a lot of effort into literature and talent, otherwise how could Li Jing rather offend the princess than marry her.

But in a place like the capital, there are so many talented and good-looking women, and people are naturally divided into three, six, nine and so on according to the status of the family, and Yuan Yiyi is the last class, so it is naturally difficult for the women of the official family.

Li Jing sank, this is indeed true, sometimes a pillow wind is worth a few years of struggle, but after all, he is a man, and he can't interfere in this kind of backyard matter.

"And what do you think?"

"I heard that every March, the queen will hold a hundred flowers banquet, all the ministers can participate, and you can also bring your family members to participate, why don't you take me to this hundred flowers banquet?"

Li Jing thought that this was not a big deal, and his foot would be almost fine in another month, so he nodded and agreed: "It's not difficult, I'll go to the Ministry of Rites another day to ask for a post back." ”

When Yuan Yiyi heard this, her slightly drooping eyes showed joy, this time she must ask those official ladies and ladies who look down on her to see, even if she Yuan Yiyi is not as good as them, in terms of appearance and talent, she is by no means inferior to anyone.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is coming, and the ladies of the entire capital are busy, cloth Zhuangzi, ready-to-wear shops, rouge shops, jewelry shops, all the bosses are smiling, and they can't wait to open their shops for twelve hours.

Who doesn't know that now there are still three princes who have not yet chosen a concubine, and the seven princesses, who are loved by thousands of people, have not yet had a concubine.

Although the Hundred Flowers Banquet is held every year, everyone knows that the queen will always look at the girls and young masters of each family at the banquet.

The eldest prince's concubine was the queen's mother at a glance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet the year before last.

Therefore, if there are unmarried daughters and sons in the family, they all want to have a chance to show themselves at this banquet, in case they are looked down upon by the queen and selected as the princess or concubine, it is a step to the sky, fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and the whole family will rise with it, not the same day.

Therefore, during this period of time, the capital is more lively than the New Year, but all the shops that are famous in Beijing receive orders with soft hands.

"Miss, what do you like, just ask the slave maid to buy it for you, you said you have to come out, the streets are very crowded during this time, you look at this treasure pavilion, it is so crowded that you can't even enter the door." Cui Ping looked anxious, her small body blocked Meng Qiqi's side, and she protected her tightly, for fear that her princess would be squeezed.

Meng Qiqi helplessly looked at Cui Ping's posture of protecting her cubs and smiled: "It's just that I have to go out for a walk, stay in the palace every day, and I am suffocated." ”

After experiencing the incident of Ningchuan City, several of her brothers finally got through the second line of Ren Du and began to help her father deal with political affairs, so she has been really lonely recently.

She remembered that in her previous life, at the Hundred Flowers Banquet this year, Jiang Ningning, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, brought a very beautiful phoenix feather golden hairpin, which amazed the four seats, and the queen mother liked it very much at that time, but unfortunately it was already Jiang Ningning's beloved thing, even if she was the queen, it was not easy to win people's love, and she read it for many days after the banquet. So she decided to come to the Treasure Pavilion early this time to take down the golden hairpin and give it to the queen mother.

Fengling Golden Hairpin is the treasure of the town store of the Treasure Pavilion, it is said that it is the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, and it took more than a month to complete it personally.

What's even more interesting is that the boss behind this Treasure Pavilion is an extremely eccentric person, never afraid of power, if anyone oppresses him with power in order to get the things of his Treasure Pavilion, he is willing to destroy the object and will not let him do it.

This temper is very much to Meng Qiqi's appetite, and talented people should have some arrogance of their own.
