(122) Bosom friends
Although the fourth princess didn't like Yun Xiangrong very much, she also felt that this way of exclusion was very low-level, but she couldn't help but see Yun Xiangrong's reaction, and saw Yun Xiangrong whisper to the fifth princess: "Xiangxiang, do you want to eat the chicken leg of that lotus leaf chicken, I think the lotus leaf chicken tastes very good." ”
"Yes, third sister." Ning Muxiang said happily.
Yun Xiangrong put the chicken leg into the plate of the fifth princess and said, "You can eat it with your hands, it tastes delicious." ”
"Then the mother will talk about me." The fifth princess said.
"Okay then, I'll help you remove the meat from the chicken thighs, and you can eat it again." Yun Xiangrong said patiently.
"Thank you, third sister." The fifth princess said.
I saw Yun Xiangrong patiently using chopsticks, separating the meat on the chicken thighs little by little, and his emotions didn't seem to be disturbed by the chat outside. Suddenly, the fourth princess felt that Yun Xiangrong was not so annoying.
This kind of dinner will not be eaten very late, the prince thinks that everyone eats about the same, so he will say that it will be dispersed, and everyone will have to respond tomorrow.
Yun Xiangrong said that he would send the fifth princess back, and Jiang Qingchen said that he was waiting for Yun Xiangrong in the prince's palace.
The queen is a careful person, and she knows that Yun Xiangrong is not familiar with the things in the palace, so she sent someone to wait at the place of today's banquet early in the morning, and she is the palace maid in the queen's palace, named Chu Xin.
I've already said hello to Yun Xiangrong, so I'll find me if you need it anyway. No, I'll go to the queen mother after the banquet to get back to me.
Yun wants to send the fifth princess back to the palace, and his original intention must follow.
Concubine Shu was very surprised to see that Yun Xiangrong personally sent the fifth princess back, but she immediately understood that they were two people who wanted to get along well, so she was naturally polite, because it was late, Yun Xiangrong had to leave.
Yun Xiangrong was taken to Tai** by the original heart, at this moment it was already dark, there was basically no one on the road in the palace, and when he passed a small pavilion, Yun Xiangrong could clearly hear the sound of stones thrown into the water.
Look closely at a woman standing by the lake in the back garden, throwing stones and muttering something. After walking in, Yun Xiangrong saw that it was the fourth princess Ning Muying. Looks angry.
Seeing that he was always going to say hello, Yun Xiangrong said, "Fourth sister, haven't you rested yet?" "Words without any emotion.
"Hmph." Ning Muying replied.
Yun Xiangrong felt that he was young in the end, and he didn't want to hide that he was dissatisfied with me, but everyone showed it, and he couldn't say it if he didn't express it.
"Fourth sister, if you want to be a princess, there are a lot of things you don't understand, if there is anything wrong with that, please forgive me." Yun Xiangrong said.
Yun Xiangrong felt that after all, it was the queen's palace maid who followed him, and he always had to show some attitude, and it was impossible for the queen to protect a princess who didn't know anything, even if her father was helping the emperor with errands.
"What can you do wrong, you are now the princess of the crown prince's most protective position." Ning Muying said.
Yun Xiangrong said that you are quite direct, so it's okay, although I never thought of getting along with the royal brothers and sisters, but it's also uncomfortable to always say something cool like this, so it's better to make it clear today.
"Chuxin, you go to the front and watch, if someone comes, just tell me." Yun Xiangrong said.
Ning Muying knew that this was Yun Xiangrong's intention that he didn't want people to hear the two of them talk.
"Fourth sister, from the first time we met a few days ago, I could feel that you don't like me, I think it may be that I don't look likable enough, this is normal, no matter how perfect a person is, it is impossible for everyone to like it, let alone me. But what I mean by listening to what you say today may not be as simple as I am not likable, if you have any opinions about me, you can say it directly. Yun Xiangrong said calmly.
"You go over there and watch, someone comes, say something." Ning Muying said to the palace maid she brought.
"Third sister thinks too much, what can I say about you." Ning Muying said.
"Fourth sister, since you don't want to say it, then I said, do you think that the prince defended me on the first day he saw me, and he was still wearing the clothes I gave him at today's banquet, right? But isn't this my face? It doesn't really have much to do with me. Yun Xiangrong said.
"What do you mean?" Ning Muying asked.
"The prince and the horse are cousins, everyone knows this, the first day I entered the palace to recognize people, it was the prince who gave the horse face so he accompanied, and the clothes were given by the prince, and I saw it for the first time today." Yun Xiangrong said.
"But the father's favor for you is seen by everyone, and tonight's banquet is actually the father's intention." Ning Muying said.
"Fourth sister, you actually want to say that my father and the emperor have sealed my mansion and ten imperial villages, right?" Yun Xiangrong said.
Although Ning Muying did not answer directly, it was also a tacit meaning.
Yun Xiangrong suddenly understood, where the problem was. He is from the Yun family, although he is only a merchant family, he will inevitably be patriarchal, but he has three brothers in front of him. Parents want a daughter, and brothers want a sister.
So I was born in the expectation of my family, from childhood to adulthood, my parents and brother love me is real, and slowly I take it for granted. The rewards are also well deserved.
Now that I have come to the Marquis Mansion of Changping, it is the same way, my aunt and uncle are very good to me, and so are my brothers and sisters, so I subconsciously feel that this is family affection, and if I have the ability, I will repay it, and helping my eldest sister send Yang Xingkang back to her hometown is the practice of family affection.
Since Jiang Yaoyao wrote a map of the relationship between the capital and himself, he knew that all the ladies of the Guogong Mansion and the ladies of the Hou Mansion in the capital had orders in their bodies, and there was only a difference in rank, but his aunt Mrs. Changping Hou did not have a fate, and he had already thought about it, and he would definitely fight for his aunt if he had the opportunity.
But I didn't take the initiative to say these words, because I didn't want my aunt to remember my goodness, and when the time came, I would naturally do it.
Looking at Ning Muying's state, you can understand that she was born in the palace since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of the cold and warm in the world, when the emperor spoils you, it is heaven, and if you don't spoil you, it is a cold palace.
The key is that Concubine Yan's father has returned to his hometown, her brother is not an important minister in the court, and Ning Muying does not have an elder brother or younger brother to rely on, everything is just on her own.
The princesses born to many high-ranking concubines in the palace are also not favored. So Ning Muying has always worked hard, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and being the emperor's favorite princess.
As a result, he suddenly killed a cloud and wanted to look, not to mention that he was more beautiful than himself, and his marriage was good, not only the prince was favored, but also the father, and suddenly, the sense of crisis came out.
After all, Ning Muying's family affairs have not been decided, and she is not favored at this time, which is very unfavorable to herself.
"Why I was named a princess, you must know better than me, I won't say it. The reward of the ten Huangzhuang is said to be OK, in fact, I don't know much about this outside thing, the horse said that he will deal with it, and when you get married, you can rest assured, the reward of your Zhuangzi will only be better than mine, not worse than mine, because the queen mother is the most just person. Yun Xiangrong said.
In fact, Concubine Yan also said to Ning Muying that the queen's style of doing things will not let others find faults. But Ning Muying always felt that the queen didn't like herself, and the queen's favorite was the fifth princess.
It's just that today let Yun Xiangrong say that it doesn't matter whether the queen likes herself or not, the key is that the queen cherishes her reputation more, so she won't do anything bad to herself.
"Now my father has rewarded my mansion, it is a pain in his heart, the cost of repair is too high, of course I have to take the initiative to help my father solve problems, the repair cost of the mansion is half of the horse, and I will live in the princess's mansion after marriage." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Huh?" Ning Muying was surprised.
Before she and Concubine Yan analyzed, they both felt that it was the emperor's intention, so to give Princess Rong face, but the truth turned out to be like this.
"Don't tell anyone, this is a royal face, in fact, Changping Houfu is not a loss, how can you say that the horse has to live in, even if you are renting a house, don't you have to pay some rent?" Yun Xiangrong said.
"But when the princess gets married, don't she have to live in her husband's house? It seems that the royal princess is well-educated, and if the horse is allowed to live in the princess's mansion, there will always be some gossip outside, right? Ning Muying said.
"There will be gossip no matter what, but my background is different from yours, you are an orthodox princess, I, a princess who debuted halfway, royal prestige, is more important than anything else, everyone has their own helplessness." Yun Xiangrong said.
"yes, everybody has a problem." Ning Muying said with a sigh.
"Fourth sister, anyway, I told you everything, I don't have any hostility towards you, I don't ask you to like me, but please don't hate me, because it will not be easily brought out, it is really not me who is so ugly." Yun Xiangrong said.
Ning Muying suddenly liked Yun Xiangrong a little, because she knew that Yun Xiangrong said this for her own good, and no one in the palace would say these words to herself.
"Third sister, I actually don't hate you, and we don't have any contradictions. It may be that I've been in a bad mood lately and you've misunderstood. Do you know why the fifth sister-in-law spoke to you very much tonight? Ning Muying said.
"I don't know, today is the first time I've met my fifth sister-in-law." Yun Xiangrong said.
"As far as I know, the fifth sister-in-law's sister-in-law is Cai Jintong, some time ago, she went on a hunger strike at home, and asked Lord Cai to ask the emperor to marry Admiral Jiang, but Admiral Jiang did not agree, and the marriage did not work out, and the fifth sister-in-law felt very faceless when she found out, so she spoke very much at you today." Ning Muying said.
"I'm too wronged by this, what does it have to do with me, he's angry and rushes out of the horse, it's really tasteless to be angry with me." Yun Xiangrong said.
"However, third sister, your performance tonight is too good, ignore the fifth sister-in-law, I feel that she hit the cotton, I guess she will feel very suffocated. Besides, I also think that she is the one who has no face tonight, and the princes at the table next to her will hear her remarks. Ning Muying said.
Ning Muying wants to be sisters with Yun Xiangrong.
Although Concubine Yan had a fiery personality when she was young, although her impatient temper has been basically smoothed out by the years, when she educates her daughter, she is told to have a good relationship with capable brothers and sisters.
