Chapter 2 Peerless Beauty

Today is the banquet of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and the sister-in-law came to see her in person, after all, this is the first time Xie Ying has attended the banquet of a noble lady in Kyoto, and she must be as foolproof as possible.

In the past four years, the most intimate relationship with Xie Ying is the sister-in-law Wang, for the grandmother and aunt in the house, Xie Ying has no admiration at all, and only eats with the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law from time to time.

After the eldest brother went to Northern Xinjiang four years ago, he fought fiercely with Beirong on the border of Mozhou, and finally caused the Beirong people to retreat, and Beirong and Daliang have since been bounded by Mozhou.

Today's Xie Ying was dressed up very elegantly by her sister-in-law.

The hair is tied into a single bun, the middle of the bun is inlaid with pearl flowers as decoration, the left sideburns have been carved with sheep fat jade cherry blossom hosta, and a pair of gold rings inlaid with East Pearl earrings on the ear.

He was dressed in a lilac wide-sleeved cross-collared leno shirt embroidered with pale pink cherry blossoms that reached to the ankles. The waist is tied with a pink cherry blossom belt, which looks weak and boneless, and he wears a pair of cloud-headed brocade shoes with a treasure pattern on his feet.

Holding a bamboo silk fan, the fan handle carved out three pairs of cloud head Ruyi ornamentation, there are four or five butterflies dancing on the fan surface, free and easy.

This dress is like the first time Xie Ying wore women's clothes in Youzhou in the past, she always loves to miss the past, maybe it is not satisfactory now.

"Ah Ying is so beautiful, and she will definitely be famous in the capital when she appears today." Sister-in-law Wang pulled Xie Ying and smiled very happily.

Xie Ying was noncommittal.

In the past four years, she has gradually grown. A face with skin like clotted fat, delicate and moving, and a beautiful face shows the style of the city with a smile.

And she practiced martial arts all year round, and then danced, her body was graceful, and she walked softly and elegantly.

The carriage was walking on the lively streets of the capital, Xie Ying was a little apprehensive, whether it was Youzhou or later in the capital, she did not have a handkerchief.

When I went to a banquet with my second aunt, I also knew a few girls of the same age, but then those girls didn't like to associate with her after realizing that she was so beautiful that they were all reduced to foils.

So is this a burden brought to her by beauty?

Thinking like this, the carriage arrived at the Zuo Xiang Pang Guan Mansion. Pang Guan is the father of Rong Guifei, the most favored concubine of the saint today, and Rong Guifei has three princes and three princesses under her knees.

The emperor likes the three princes very much, and he doesn't like the crown prince, Xie Ying will be the crown princess in the future, and he will be the opposite of them, so I don't know what will happen in this mansion today.

She is very sociable, she doesn't know much about socializing, but she also knows a lot about where women are......

As soon as she entered the door and got out of the carriage, a woman in blue came up to her with a smile on her face: "The Duchess of Yasukuni finally didn't hide the second lady at home. ”

"Mrs. Pang laughed, Ah Ying was Dai Xiao before, and it was inconvenient to go out." The sister-in-law hurriedly stepped forward.

"Tut-tut, she is worthy of being your third aunt's daughter, she looks really beautiful, you have to take her out for a walk in the future, and let those little ladies in the capital see what a beauty is." Mrs. Pang took her sister-in-law's hand with a sincere expression.

Getting out for a walk? As a boudoir woman, if she shows up at will, it will not affect her name, and as a quasi-princess, she will not affect the reputation of the prince in the end.

So the Pang family's hostility is too obvious, right?

"Ah Ying's personality likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move." The sister-in-law didn't seem to understand what Mrs. Pang said, and replied with a smile.

"I'll see too, I'll ask Moyu to take you to the main hall to see the old lady." After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the personal maid next to him to step forward.

Walking in Pang Xiang's mansion, Xie Ying did not forget to silently remember the route and looked around from time to time.

I didn't walk long before I arrived at Mrs. Pang Xiang's hall, where Mrs. Pang sat on a couch chair in the center of the hall, wearing a blue straight-necked placket with narrow sleeves and rusty pine crane patterns, and a dark purple skirt.

With a forehead wipe on his head, clear eyes, and a kind smile on his face. She was chatting and laughing with several old ladies of the same age around her.

"The Duchess of Yasukuni is here, take a seat quickly." Let's ask the maid to add a new chair two steps away from her couch.

After taking a seat, he looked at Xie Ying standing beside Wang's side, and said loudly: "Look at the appearance of the second girl, she is a little more beautiful than her mother, and the first beauty in the capital will be the second girl in the future." ”

"Yes, I thought it was a fairy who came down to earth!" The people on the side chimed in.

Xie Ying's mother, Xia Jiao, was once praised as "a stunning Gillian with a lotus picking dance, famous in Jiangnan". It's a pity that he later went to northern Xinjiang with his father Xie Rin, and died in less than a year because of the siege of the Beirong people.

After chatting with a group of women, Xie Ying was led by Moyu to the pear orchard where the boys and girls gathered.

"Second Miss Xie This is the pear orchard, what can you do to ask the surrounding slaves to serve, and the slaves and maids will retire first." Xie Ying nodded, and Mo Yu immediately retreated.

At this moment, in the pear orchard, it is spring, the flowers in the garden are blooming, and young boys and girls are shuttling in the meantime, laughing and laughing, so a spring scenery.

Nowadays, the defense of men and women is not so harsh, and if young men and women want to speak, they can follow the maid next to them.

Xie Ying walked in slowly, shuttling under the pear tree, she didn't know anyone, she didn't know where to go, so she simply walked around the pear orchard.

When she walked to the more lush tree where the pear blossoms were in full bloom, the butterfly flew over and stopped on the butterfly fan in her hand, unwilling to leave.

I guess I was attracted by the butterflies on the fan!

Xie Ying waved the fan in her hand, causing butterflies to fly around her, watching the butterfly fly up and down, Xie Ying raised her head and smiled, the city is peerless.

She didn't know how much her smile had caused a stir in the garden.

In a corner pavilion of the pear orchard, a group of people are laughing and laughing around a girl wearing a flower bun and a crown of pearl peony flowers.

The woman was wearing a green shirt with a pale yellow coat and a lilac skirt with a green sash on a blue background around her waist, showing the lightness of spring.

However, although she was dressed as a girl, her face was like a peach blossom, bright and enchanting.

This is Pang Xiang's granddaughter Pang Dai, and her aunt is Concubine Rong of the Sixth Palace. Others say that she looks like an aunt, and she will definitely be as expensive as her aunt in the future, and she thinks so too.

Not long ago, she was assigned to marry her cousin, the third prince is the concubine, and today she came to the house to congratulate her grandfather on his birthday.

She likes this feeling of being sought after by everyone, from childhood to adulthood, whether it is family background or appearance, even if she is talented, she is a first-class outstanding in the capital, and she is highly praised.

But today it has changed, who can tell her who is the beautiful girl in the garden who attracts butterflies to dance under the pear tree? Why didn't she know that there was such a person in the capital suddenly?

Seeing Pang Dai's appearance, her handkerchief was handed over, and she was also her cousin, Meng Yao, the daughter of Anyang Hou, dared to hurriedly say: "Whose noble daughter is this?" It's too unruly to walk around. ”

She made a statement that severely belittled Xie Ying's behavior. Now Xie Ying doesn't know anyone, but I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to have friends who are good with her in the future.

Seeing that no one responded, Meng Yao comforted Pang Dai and said, "I'm just afraid it's just a businesswoman from a relative's family who follows the official." ”

On the other side of the pear orchard, near the pond, two young men were standing.

A person with slightly white skin, a Chinese character face with good facial features and a heroic face.

He wore a purple robe with a round neck, a jade crown trimmed with gold trim, and mocskin boots of the same color. With his hands behind his back, his posture is a little tall and majestic. He smiled and said, "Look, I called you here today, right?" ”

Standing next to him was a thin man dressed as a Confucian in a cyan robe.

The man's face was dull at the moment, and his eyes looked in the direction where Xie Ying was.

Today, his second brother told him that there would be a beautiful woman at the banquet today, and he didn't think so.

There are only a few beautiful ladies in Kyoto, he has seen it a long time ago, where did this alluring posture come from?

As if knowing what he wanted to think, the man said: "He is the second girl of the Yasukuni Mansion, your future sister-in-law." ”

When a man dressed as a Confucian scholar heard this, he was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, why? Such a beautiful woman is his sister-in-law, will it be such a fate in the future?

Xie Ying stood in place teasing the butterfly, and there was a sound of footsteps beside her, and she turned her head to see that it was the old man.

"Who is Li Moudang, who is playing butterflies in the pear garden, Allure smiled, causing everyone to marvel, it turned out to be Miss Xie Er of the Yasukuni Mansion."

Li Yue's face was delicate, and he stepped forward in a light blue robe, followed by a young man in a white shirt and a green robe.

"I haven't seen her for many years, but the second lady's appearance is really getting more and more outstanding."

"I haven't seen him for many years, Li Gongzi is the same as before, but this lip service is more prosperous than back then." Xie Ying ridiculed him very much, sarcastically saying that he only knew how to play tricks over the years.

The two of them immediately laughed behind Li Yue.

Li Yue was not angry, because he met Xie Ying in Youzhou in the past and knew that she had always been wantonly pampered.

"This sister is Miss Xie Er from the Yasukuni Mansion?" A slightly immature voice suddenly came from behind him.

Xie Ying turned her head and saw a woman wearing an apricot yellow round-necked narrow-sleeved shirt walking over. He has a round face and a very cute smile.

"I am, may I ask my sister?" Xie Ying smiled back.

Hearing Xie Ying's response and laughing Yan Yan, Zhang Xuan's heart was relieved, fortunately, it was not difficult to get along.

Xie Ying's sister Xie Zhu is her sister-in-law, she came with her sister-in-law today, and on the way, her sister-in-law instructed her to take care of her sister in the garden for a while.

It is said that Xie Ying grew up in Youzhou since she was a child, and later came to the capital to keep filial piety for three years, almost never going out, and she has no friends in the capital, I am afraid that she will be lonely for a while, and she will not want to go out in the future.

As soon as she heard it, it was no problem, wrapped up in her, she had always been warm-hearted, as long as she was not the kind of eccentric temperament, no one would have a bad relationship with her.

Who would know that her sister-in-law's sister was such a stunning beauty, just Xie Ying played butterflies, she stood aside and admired.

But I didn't dare to rush forward, the beautiful women were more arrogant and difficult to get along with, and when I was ready to ask people who the noble girl was, Li Yue went up, and when she heard it, isn't this her sister-in-law's sister?

So she could only come up and talk hard, but looking at the smile and Li Yue's ridicule, she felt that it should not be difficult to get along.

"Sister, I'm my sister-in-law's sister-in-law, my sister just calls me Sister Xuan." Zhang Xuan came up and grabbed Xie Ying's sleeve and said.
