Just when Jing Xi was chatting and enjoying the scenery at Dantian Lake, a group of people were talking in the heavens and the earth in the capital.

I saw one of them, a woman in a long white dress, with a long skirt swaying to the ground, noble and holy.

This person is Meng Xiang, the eldest lady of the Meng family, who was originally going out shopping with a few young ladies today, but I saw that she was talking to her cousin, which seemed to be elegant and dusty, but there was a deep meaning in her words.

At this moment, her personal ring suddenly hurried into her side.

"Miss, miss." He shouted hurriedly as he approached.

Meng Xiang saw that her forehead was covered with fine sweat and her hair was messy, so she must have reported something to her.

"Caixia, don't worry, your young lady is here, what is the matter?" The first to come to the mouth was Pei Yin on the side, only to see her wearing a pale yellow dress, with a green silk hair curled high into a flying fairy bun, and a few chic bead hairpins inserted on it, which looked very extravagant.

Pei Yin has a good relationship with Meng Xiang, but in fact, Meng Xiang looks down on her, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and befriends her just to better set off herself.

Pei Yin didn't know this, she only thought that she could get along with the Meng family's daughter-in-law, and it was Meng Xiang's personal charm that she took a fancy to.

After all, Meng Xiang sent kindness to her, which satisfied her self-esteem.

Caixia in Pei Yin's mouth was dressed as a maid, and her chest was constantly rising and falling, and it could be seen that she was indeed in a hurry.

Caixia glanced at these young ladies in embarrassment, and finally leaned over and whispered in Meng Xiang's ear: "Miss, someone saw His Highness go to the suburbs in the morning." ”

"The suburbs? But alone? Do you know what Your Highness is doing in the suburbs?" Meng Xiang asked suspiciously.

I only heard Caixia whisper: "Miss, what is Your Highness doing in the suburbs of Beijing, this maid really doesn't know." However, it is not ......"

Caixia was a little cramped, and she didn't dare to say the words later, she knew how important His Highness's news was to Miss, and she also knew how her own Miss was angry.

Although there were other people at the moment, she was still worried that the young lady would be angry with her when she returned home.

Yes, speaking of which, Caixia was a little speechless and stopped.

Hearing this, Meng Xiang raised his voice slightly and asked, "But what?"

"Miss, Aunt Liu, who went out of the mansion to purchase in the morning, saw the carriage of King Rong's Mansion heading to the suburbs......" Caixia was hindered by the majesty of Miss, and finally stumbled to report to her.

"What!" An exclamation!

It turned out that when Meng Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but raise his voice, and when several people around him looked at her with puzzled eyes, they immediately quickly retracted their shocked expressions.

"Miss Meng, how did you come?"

"Miss Meng, but what happened?"

Everyone couldn't hide their curiosity and asked.

Meng Xiang said in disguise: "I was just shocked for a while, please forgive me for the disturbance." ”

Having said that, her face was still a little ugly, and everyone saw that she didn't want to explain, and she didn't want to ask too much, so they had to change the topic one after another, but they paid attention to Meng Xiang's change in their hearts.

"Caixia, I know, you go down first."

Seeing that everyone cooperated like this, Meng Xiang's face finally improved, and then ordered Caixia to retreat first.

"Yes, miss." Hearing this, Caixia nodded, then bowed and retreated.

……

Rongwang's Mansion, study

Wearing a python robe, King Rong was sitting upright in front of the bookcase, and in front of him was Gu Yang, who was respectfully reporting something.

"Lord Wang, there is a letter from the border, there has been constant friction in the border city recently, it seems that the southern border country is not willing to accept the status quo and intends to provoke war again."

Hearing this, King Rong frowned, his deep eyes narrowed, and a chill gradually grew around him.

Only a few years have passed since the peaceful days, and the southern border country is so eager to provoke a war? Could it be that you have any confidence?

King Rong thought to himself, a few years ago, he defeated the Nanlin Kingdom, and the Nanlin Emperor also signed a peace document, so there is no reason why he is ready to move at this time.

Thinking like this, King Rong asked in a deep voice, "Is there any other news?" Be sure to check if there is an alliance. ”

Listening to King Rong's instructions, Gu Yang nodded solemnly.

He knew that the prince did not like to fight, because as soon as the war started, it meant that there were soldiers who died and the people suffered from the war, which the prince did not want to see.

Gu Yang has been by the prince's side for many years, and he knows this very well.

"Lord Wang, the border city came to report that there were rumors that someone was walking around the city, but when the soldiers defending the city caught those people, they all committed suicide. Gu Yang presented the news with both hands.

King Rong stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it quickly, with some speculation in his heart, and at the same time a little worried.

He is not afraid of war.

But what he was worried about was that if the emperor ordered him to go to the border to guard, then there would be two stinky boys who would have to stay in the capital.

But now Xi Xi is only ten years old, still a half-old child, not to mention his two younger sons, the capital is turbulent, he is worried that if he rushes to the border, his children will have no relatives in the capital, no one to take care of.

"It seems that in the last war, the southern border country has not remembered the lesson!" King Rong's tone was cold, and his whole body was full of evil spirits.

It seems that you have to make arrangements in advance to avoid worries.

Then he said: "Gu Yang, send someone to the border gate, investigate at all times, and report immediately if there is any change."

As for the capital, strengthen the palace guards, and prevent villains from making trouble.

In addition, in recent days, it is necessary to train troops diligently. ”

"Yes, lord." Gu Yang said.

"Okay, for now, we can only wait and see what happens." After speaking, King Rong stared at the government affairs on the table in front of him, and suddenly lost interest in dealing with it.

The eyes are deep, the gaze wanders, and I don't know what to think.

……

Heaven and earth, in the private room on the second floor.

Meng Xiang was still chatting with Pei Yin and the others, but it was obvious that she was already a little absent-minded at this time.

"Miss Meng, let's come out today, but we have to have fun." One of the girls in the light blue skirt obviously noticed that since Meng Xiang's maid reported something to her, Meng Xiang was a little absent-minded, and then she said.

"I'm sorry, it's Xiang'er's fault, Xiang'er is polite." Hearing this, Meng Xiang had to suppress the guesses in his heart

Measure and jealousy, and regain your mind.

"By the way, Sister Meng Xiang, can you let me wait for the string of glass beads you got at the flower viewing party last time?" Suddenly, a girl in a light green costume said.

On the delicate face, the eyes were shining, and it was difficult to hide the curiosity.

"Yes, Miss Meng, that's a gift from the concubine, I wonder if Miss Meng can carry it with her?"

Miss Meng is worthy of being a talented woman in the capital, and this talent is really amazing. ”

Listening to everyone's compliments, it was obvious that Meng Xiang's vanity was greatly satisfied, as for the things that the mother rewarded at the last flower viewing party, she had it with her, so let them take a look.

Thinking like this, Meng Xiang said, "Yes, everyone, please take a look." Immediately, Meng Xiang took off the string of gorgeous glass beads on his wrist and handed it to everyone for them to feast their eyes on.

Dazzling and colorful.

It really deserves to be the treasure of Jiangnan Shanggong.

It seems that this Miss Meng is really talented, I heard that she made a poem, and even the mother was amazed, so she rewarded this glass bead.

Smack!

"Treasures and beauties, it's a perfect match."

At this moment, a man's voice sounded, and it turned out to be Yu Huanbin.

The son-in-law of the Yu family, a famous gentleman in the capital. I saw that he was also dressed in white today, with a tough and high green bamboo embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, and a plain white waist seal around his waist, with a string of glass jade pendants hanging on it, holding a painting fan, leisurely and gently inciting.

Look at it again, Yu Huanbin's handsome face, with black hair fluttering in the wind, is a talent, graceful.

Of course, it would be better if you removed the flirtatious look in his eyebrows, but the gentleman is naturally a suave man, which is in line with his personality.

Despite this, the Yu family is still a big family that many women in the capital yearn for, and if a woman marries him, it will be a good thing.

After all, the Yu family has a big business, even if they are a flat wife or concubine, it is enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

The premise is that you can successfully marry into the Yu family!

Yes, even if Yu Huanbin is no longer a gentleman, there are still many women who admire him, perhaps because of his appearance, or because of his status as the son of the Yu family.

"Brother Yu? Why are you here?" Meng Xiang saw that it was Yu Huanbin, suppressed the contempt in his heart, and Ying Ying saluted, her tone was soft, and she looked like a virtuous and virtuous lady.

It made Yu Huanbin's eyes shine, he had admired Meng Xiang for a long time, and he was a lover, not to mention that Meng Xiang was also as beautiful as a flower.

Yes, he admires Meng Xiang, he was the one who made trouble in heaven and earth last time, and he kicked Xiao Er last time, but then he was knocked hard by Jing Xi.

Since then, no matter how stubborn he is, he will not dare to play prestige in heaven and earth.

"There is nothing to do, but you are Xiang'er, it is really impressive, this glass bead, even in Jiangnan, is a good thing with a price."

"Really? I didn't expect this glass bead to be so precious, Sister Meng Xiang is really amazing. ”

"Yes, yes, it seems that Sister Meng Xiang is firmly at the head of the talented women in the capital.

”

As soon as everyone heard Yu Huanbin's words, they all sighed, that is, even Meng Xiang was extremely happy and proud in her heart, this is a good thing she has gotten, and it is the only one among all the young ladies in the capital at the moment.

Yu Huanbin was also not polite, walked over, and then bowed his head to everyone with a rather gentlemanly look, and said, "Under Yu Huanbin." ”

"It turned out to be Yu Gongzi, who has been looking up for a long time! If you don't mind, how about you get together with us?"

The people present nodded one after another, and then someone smiled.

When Yu Huanbin saw this, he was even more happy to see it, and immediately said: "I can't ask for it." ”

"Xiang'er, why are you gathered here today?"

Yu Huanbin was a little curious, but he didn't expect that he wanted to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence today, and when he passed by the heavens and the earth, the ghost came in by surprise, but he didn't expect Meng Xiang to be here, which was really a surprise.

Although Pei Yin is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, she also knows the person in front of her, not to mention that she has known Sister Meng Xiang for a long time, and she vaguely knows one thing, that is, Yu Gongzi has admired Sister Meng Xiang for a long time.

For this, she was envious.
