Chapter 6: Visiting Mrs. Hou
The sky was slightly bright, the sun was still hidden under the clouds, and there was only a touch of fish belly white in the east.
Rong Wangci fell asleep in a daze, vaguely heard the noise in the house, opened his eyes, and subconsciously got up and wanted to call Fran in to ask, but he felt that his body was bent by a strong arm, and the body that had just been propped up a little immediately fell back and was held in Su Zhi's arms.
"It's still early, sleep with me for a while..."
Su Zhi's voice was a little dull because she had just woken up, and it also aroused her tiredness when it reached Rong Rongci's ears, after all, she was tossed for most of the night last night, if it weren't for her being really sleepy, Su Zhi was only afraid that she would have to sleep all night.
After falling asleep for a long time, when Rong Wangci woke up again, it was already noon, and Fran woke her up.
"The regent, this is too much of a toss...... "Fran looked at Rong Rong's tired face, and muttered: "Princess, you look like this, how can you go out to meet people later......"
Hearing this, Rong Wangci's brows twisted together: "Haven't the emperor and Concubine Yu already met?" Who are you going to see today? β
Fran remembered that there was still something to say, and hurriedly explained: "Yesterday night, the Jian'an Hou Mansion ran out of water, and many houses in the Hou Mansion were burned, and now it has only been settled down at this time, and the other ladies and ladies in the imperial city have brought objects and silk to condole, you are the princess regent, you can't ignore it, right?" β
Rong Rongci reluctantly sat up straight and got off the bed, looking depressed as if he was thinking about something, and said after a while: "It's time to go and see, it's just that I'm new here, and I don't know what Mrs. Hou likes, so the ceremony is not necessary, and it's not a happy event anyway." β
"But everyone has brought a gift, and we don't bring ......" Fran looked at Rong Rong's resignation, and only said half slowly.
"At this time, people are very busy, and I estimate that most of those who come to visit are just trying to take the opportunity to curry favor and show their faces. Jian'an Hou is in charge of 100,000 Huaiyin troops, and he is also quite prestigious in the court, and his status is there, so naturally there are many people rushing to stammer. After Rong Wangci finished speaking, he had already sat down in front of the bronze mirror, and seeing that Fran was still ignorant, he said again: "No matter how prestigious he is in Jian'anhou, he can't compare to the regent, I am the princess regent, and going to visit is already to give face to the Hou Mansion. β
Fran looked suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly put on makeup for Rong Rongci.
"Light up on makeup, don't be too delicate."
"Yes."
Waiting for Rong Bangci to take the carriage to the Hou Mansion of Jian'an, it was already afternoon, I don't know how the Hou Mansion got the news, Rong Bangci just got off the carriage, there were already people waiting outside the door, as soon as he saw her, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
"The villain has seen the princess, and Mrs. Hou knows that the princess is coming, so she has prepared refreshments and is waiting in the mansion."
Rong Rongci smiled slightly: "I'm tired." β
The master and servant followed behind the little servant, turned the winding corridor, and walked for a while before they arrived at Mrs. Hou's courtyard, only to the door, you could hear the laughter of the girl's silver bell, but not as heavy as the woman, it should be the daughter's house that has not yet left the cabinet.
The maid led Rong Rongqi into the inner hall, and as soon as she entered the door, she could see the kind-looking Mrs. Hou sitting in the high hall, and of course, what was more conspicuous was a girl in a goose-yellow delicate dress standing beside Mrs. Hou.
Seeing Rong Rongqi enter the door, Mrs. Hou also quickly stood up, and everyone also got up and saluted Rong Rong. Rong Rongci's gaze quickly swept over everyone, and he returned the salute modestly, and then sat down under the guidance of Mrs. Hou.
"The princess is newly married Yan'er, and she is willing to deign to come to our Hou Mansion to say hello, and the Hou Mansion is really honored......
"Allure! Don't be rude! β
The first person to open her mouth was the woman in the goose yellow dress, although she was reprimanded by Mrs. Hou, she only pouted, and did not mean to apologize. Mrs. Hou hurriedly excused herself and owed her: "The princess forgives her sins, and the courtiers teach her daughters no way, which makes the little girl have no words and deeds, and ask the princess for forgiveness." β
Rong Rongci glanced at the girl who was called Allure, and smiled gently: "Mrs. Hou is serious, Miss Ye is at the age of naΓ―ve and romantic and outspokenness, where can I talk about forgiveness." β
Mrs. Hou smiled and glanced at her daughter, and the girl bowed hastily and withdrew.
Waiting for Ye Chengcheng to retreat, Rong Wangci asked Mrs. Hou: "The rules of the Hou Mansion are strict, how could the water suddenly go out, has Mrs. Hou ever explored?" β
"Naturally, it was checked, but someone had unclean hands and feet, and happened to touch the thing that started the fire by mistake, and the person has been punished, and such a thing will not happen again in the future."
Rong Rongci nodded, and then turned the topic elsewhere.
Everyone in the hall chatted very happily, especially the young ladies who had rushed to the Marquis Mansion. Since the regent robbed the family, they have been speculating about what kind of extraordinary ability this alien woman who can attract the regent to seduce an "iceberg". Originally, I was worried that the new princess regent was a character who was not easy to mess with, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to get close to, but when I saw it today, it was like a spring breeze and extremely approachable.
Of course, these people who chase fame and fortune care about the temperament of the princess regent, naturally not to get along with the princess regent, but to have their own little abacus.
The regent power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, who doesn't want to climb a relative, but the family is a royal family, and he can't climb high, but he can't climb a relative, but he can find a way to marry his daughter in. Not to mention that the regent throne is high and powerful, and he is the pinnacle of Shangyin's power, just by virtue of his appearance, he is also the object of admiration of many young ladies from famous families in Shangyin, plus the regent is cold-faced and silent, not close to women, and how many girls from Qingliu families regard him as a good match.
But the bad thing is that the regent is not close to women, let those people do their best, use all means, just can't let him look at each other, the daughters of the imperial city were once disheartened, until a few days ago the regent robbed the relatives.
It turns out that the regent still likes women!
The undercurrent that had been silent for many years began to stir again, and when I saw the princess regent today, she looked gentle and modest, and she wanted to marry her daughter in, and this princess would probably not interfere. As long as you can marry the regent, what about being a concubine?
It was already evening when Rong Wangci got up to leave, and everyone chatted happily, and when they left, they were even more radiant than when they came to the Hou Mansion. Rong was silent, but she knew that maybe from tomorrow, all kinds of women would appear in front of her eyes one after another.
Out of the Hou Mansion, Rong Wangci looked up at the dark sky: Come on, let you be a fairy or the reincarnation of a fox demon, God blocks and kills God, and demon blocks and kills demons!
