The fragrance of tea is curling in the side hall, and there are already many old feudal lords who are served by their juniors, sitting and chatting here.

Of course, the topic of conversation is inseparable from today's protagonist, His Royal Highness the Prince. The women don't know what Wen Taowu is talking about, so they talk back and forth, basically three sentences without divorce.

As a result, those poor girls who have not come out of the cabinet have to be judged from head to toe from head to toe from their family background to their character, from their appearance to their temperament.

When Zheng Xian'er walked in the door, she didn't attract too many people's attention at first, at most, the attitude of the waiter who led the way was too respectful, which inevitably made people feel a little curious.

This little curiosity drove everyone's eyes to gradually move to Zheng Xian'er.

When I looked at it, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

"Lord Anping!" An old lady exclaimed in surprise and stood up in a gaffe.

After that, the second, the third......

In the past, the county lord of Anping lived in a simple place, and not many people had seen her. But today's banquet in the palace, everyone who has a head and face in the capital has come, and of course there are inevitably a few people who have seen it.

So after a while, several old ladies stood up, ignoring the exclamations and obstructions of their juniors, and rushed straight in front of Zheng Xian'er.

The girl and the attendants were busy protecting Zheng Xian'er, afraid that she would be frightened.

The old ladies gradually came to their senses after the initial shock, and finally realized that something was wrong.

Don't mention anything else for the time being, first of all, this age is not right!

After waking up, several old ladies slowly adjusted their faces, regained their majestic and noble appearance, and looked at Zheng Xian'er in unison: "Whose child are you?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”

Zheng Xian'er didn't answer anyone's questions, walked straight in, found a soft chair and sat down with the guidance of the waiter, breathed a long sigh of relief, frowned and complained: "I'm tired!" ”

The waiter hurriedly bowed his head and said with a smile: "Girl, let's sit here first, use some tea and snacks, and someone will come to invite you before the banquet." ”

Zheng Xian'er nodded slightly, and Yan Niang lowered her head and said to the waiter, "You're tired."

The old ladies exchanged glances with each other, and gradually there was a drumming in their hearts: this woman's countenance, demeanor, and dress seemed more decent than them in every way, and she stood almost like a chicken standing out from the crowd among them.

So, are they ...... Offended the nobles?

It stands to reason that a real nobleman would not come to the side hall so long in advance to wait for the banquet, but what if?

Although the rule is to respect the old and respect the virtuous, in front of the real nobles, there is no part of them relying on the old and selling the old!

The more the old ladies thought about it, the more worried they became, and they couldn't help but show a humble smile on their faces: "May I ask this ......?"

They pondered the title, and suddenly remembered that the chamberlain seemed to call this woman "girl".

But, girl?

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but stop on Zheng Xian'er's stomach.

is called a "girl", but dares to swagger through the market with a big belly, are there many such women?

After some thought, everyone finally confirmed the identity of this woman.

Zheng Xian'er took the tea, took a sip, and raised her head with a smile: "I just said that I don't have to speak." I've become so notorious that you old ladies must have guessed who I am. Once you guess, you won't want to talk to me. ”

Her expression was very relaxed and casual, chatting like a homely cloud.

The hearts of these old ladies were inexplicably a little sad by her.

So the ladies who were still taunting her and scolding her openly and secretly just now invariably showed her a kind smile at this time.

They even couldn't figure out how they could bear to scold this woman with such vicious words when they hadn't seen her before?

After thinking about it, they can only blame the rumors of the world that they are not credible - they all say that this woman is despicable, dirty, and shameless, but in front of her is clearly a very dignified and noble boudoir show, where is there such an unbearable rumor?

The old ladies of these famous families have a natural affection for the dignified and beautiful young women. If the woman is more noble than they are, this affection will not diminish but will prompt them to be eager to make friends and to please them.

This subtle characteristic was something that Zheng Xian'er did not expect at all.

At this time, the leader of the crowd was Prime Minister Ning's wife. She took two steps forward slowly with her crutches and smiled very kindly: "What is the girl talking about?" You are a person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and in our eyes you are a fairy-like figure. We are full of desire to meet us, but I am afraid that you will still think that we are rude and refuse to speak to us! ”

The prime minister's wife set the tone, and the ladies who were still muttering for fear of damaging their reputation also relieved their hearts and began to talk to Zheng Xian'er in a gossiping manner.

Some praise her for her good fortune, some praise her good looks, some praise her good temperament, and some praise her beautiful clothes...... For a while, Zheng Xian'er was held and watched like a living baby.

Zheng Xian'er turned around and glanced at Xiaozhi, both of them were a little dazed.

Didn't they all say that these noble ladies looked down on her very much? They thought there was a tough battle to fight after entering the temple!

Only Yan Niang smiled, calmly curts, and said: "Please forgive your ladies, our grandmother is heavy, and it is inconvenient to salute you." ”

A smile immediately bloomed on Old Lady Ning's face: "It's okay, it's okay, the girl's body is precious, and we don't dare to accept your courtesy." ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled and thanked her for her understanding, remembered Yanniang's instructions, and didn't say a word.

The more she was like this, the more interested the old ladies were in her. Although the few people who stood up before retreated to their original places and sat down, they completely forgot about the previous topic, and just tried to talk to Zheng Xian'er.

Zheng Xian'er kept a smile and coped with them one by one, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Respect Luo Yi first and then respect people, this iron law is so easy to use!

knew that wearing a good dress and a few more pieces of jewelry could earn the respect of others, why did she have to be scolded so much before!

Of course, she had completely forgotten at this time, and today was also the first time she had the opportunity to appear in front of so many ladies and ladies.

That's a good feeling!

Zheng Xian'er bit the corner of her lip and tried her best to hold back a smile, but in the eyes of others, she only regarded her as upright and reserved, and couldn't help but look up to her a little higher.

And voila! How many of those young ladies in the capital can behave so calmly and calmly, neither humble nor arrogant in front of so many elders? No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would rather risk the world's disapproval to get along with this woman, people are really worth it!

Thinking of His Royal Highness the Prince's marriage, Mrs. Ning finally remembered her granddaughter again, and the smile on her face faded.

Originally, like most people in Beijing, she thought that it was a sure thing for her granddaughter to become the crown princess, but at this time, she couldn't help muttering.

The woman in front of her has already occupied the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, if her granddaughter is inferior to her in every way, how can she snatch the throne from her?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Ning finally hesitated and asked Zheng Xian'er: "There were many untrue rumors among the people before, and they all said that the girl was born in a poor family in the market. Today, I saw the girl's style, and it was a little stronger than our half-hung Shili family. In the future, if someone says that the girl is from the market, the old body will no longer dare to believe it! ——The girl's appearance and bearing, in detail, looks a little similar to the Anping County Lord twenty years ago, could it be that the girl is from the Lu family in Tongzhou Mansion? ”

Zheng Xian'er took a little effort to remember that the Lu family in Tongzhou Mansion seemed to be her grandfather's side.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with saying that.

So Zheng Xian'er leisurely shook the fan in her hand and said with a smile: "Old Mrs. Lao Ning asked." I don't have the surname Lu, although I do have some kinship with the Lu family in Tongzhou Mansion, but I have never had any dealings, and the Lu family doesn't know that there is a person like me. - I think the Lu family shouldn't be happy to have anything to do with me. ”

This sentence is obviously self-deprecating, and others dare not follow her words.

Mrs. Ning only noticed one of the most critical information: she is related to the Lu family!

What kind of family is the Lu family? It is a benchmark in the minds of all the people who read the world, and it can be called the first poetry family of this dynasty!

If this woman can bring the Lu family as a backing, will it be someone else's turn to take the position of the crown princess?

After savoring Zheng Xian'er's words in her heart, Mrs. Ning felt a little more worried in her heart.

She couldn't figure out whether the girl in front of her really didn't want to be involved with the Lu family, or was she already in control of the victory, and she didn't need the backing of the Lu family at all?

If the answer is the latter......

Old Mrs. Ning sighed in her heart: It's all fate!

The silly girl in Jinxiu has always been arrogant, and she can't look down on any of the so many young talents in the capital, but she fell in love with Lou Que at first sight on the day when the champion was on the street, and she had the posture of not marrying. At that time, the elders in the family were still a little unimpressed, who would have thought that this champion would later become the prince?

The eldest lady of the Ning family, marrying Zhuang Yuanlang can be regarded as "getting married", but if she marries to the East Palace-

Seriously, being a side concubine is not a grievance against her.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ning's attitude towards Zheng Xian'er became more and more respectful.

At this time, several young girls walked in outside one after another, and they were the ones who had accompanied Ning Jinxiu in the pavilion before.

The elders of two of them were sitting in this side hall, and the other two were also acquainted. So a few girls greeted the elders, and then came over to Zheng Xian'er.

When Zheng Xian'er saw this posture, she was a little panicked.

Why are these girls' eyes so scary? Shouldn't they all have thoughts about Lou Que?

Fortunately, at this time, the little eunuch at the door suddenly smiled and said, "The front court will disperse." The prince is here! ”

Several girls hesitated when they heard this, and after making a glance at each other, they stepped aside with some regret.

Lou Que soon appeared at the door and strode in.

When Zheng Xian'er saw his dress, she knew that he had good intentions today - Lou Que was also wearing a dark red robe, which was also outlined with gold threads, but embroidered with bamboo patterns.

is the same color as the one on her body, the pattern is rich and high, full and thin, and it contrasts with each other.

This thought is not exquisite.

Zheng Xian'er couldn't help but smile and stood up.

Lou Que hurriedly walked up and took her hand: "Are you tired?" Are you still used to it in the palace? Has anyone ever made you angry? ”

Zheng Xian'er pursed her lips and smiled: "You asked the wrong question." You should be asking me, 'Is the fuss over?' Did you cause trouble to others? Are you bullying people again? ’”

Lou Que smiled: "I forgot, you don't want to accept the slightest grievance." - Since you haven't been tired, why don't you go with me to see your mother first? ”

"Yes!" Zheng Xian'er saluted him in style.

It's not so much respectful as coquettish.

Lou Que smiled knowingly, and carefully held her waist: "In front of the queen mother for a while, don't be so naughty!" ”

When the old ladies in the palace saw that the two of them were leaving, they hurriedly got up to see each other off.

There was a rush of footsteps outside, mixed with a woman's soft shout: "Miss, go slowly!" ”

Without waiting for Lou Que to frown, several women rushed in at the door, and it was Ning Jinxiu and her two friends who hurried in with the girls.

Ning Jinxiu rarely lost her temper, but today when she learned that Lou Que was coming here as soon as she dispersed, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't hold back the urge to compete with Zheng Xian'er.

It's not that she doesn't know that Lou Que is here to see Zheng Xian'er, but so what? In her opinion, ten Zheng Xian'er can't compare to her! Especially when she is dressed up very beautifully today, if she doesn't press down "that sparrow" in front of Lou Que, wouldn't she have wasted all her thoughts!

Out of confidence in victory, Ning Jinxiu rushed over regardless of reserve.

However, she was full of confidence, and when she saw the pair of beautiful people in the hall, the "uproar" suddenly dispersed.

Why didn't anyone tell her that the woman she had always looked down on was dressed up in makeup...... So good-looking?

is not only the external beauty, but also a natural extravagance - how difficult it is to "cultivate" this kind of extravagance, Ning Jinxiu thinks that no one in the world knows better than her.

How to walk the road, how to speak, how to hold the fan, how to swing the sleeves...... There is knowledge everywhere, and it takes thousands of exercises everywhere to get it right - how did this rural woman do it?

What made Ning Jinxiu feel even more dazzling was that the two people standing in front of him were obviously deliberately wearing costumes of the same color, and even the accessories on their bodies were extremely harmonious, anyone who saw them would praise in their hearts "good match"!

"It's a fart!" Ning Jinxiu scolded secretly in her heart, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but show a sneer.

is not a legitimate crown princess, where is it worthy of wearing the same color clothes as the prince?

This is clearly transgression! I don't know the number of etiquette!

Ning Jinxiu stood at the door, desperately clenching the handle of the fan in her hand, lowering her head and biting the corner of her lip, not daring to reveal the hatred in her eyes.

The two girls beside her greeted Lou Que in a timely manner.

After the two little sisters finished the ceremony, Ning Jinxiu suddenly remembered that she was only angry and sad, and she forgot the etiquette.

It was already very abrupt to salute again at this time, but she had to endure unprecedented loss and panic, and bowed her head: "Prince...... Your Highness. ”

Lou Que didn't make a sound, and his eyes didn't fall on her at all.

Ning Jinxiu originally wanted to wait for the "no courtesy" before standing up straight, but who knew that Lou Que was completely uncooperative, and she had already missed the opportunity to get up naturally.

What to do? Hold on a little longer, or do you bite the bullet and get up and avoid it yourself?

Ning Jinxiu felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life.

Fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Ning noticed her granddaughter's embarrassment, and opened her mouth with a clear cough: "Xiuniang, what are you still standing there for?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going out and still won't give way?! ”

Ning Jinxiu answered "yes" and finally stood up, but her face was completely red.

Lou Que didn't look at her, and led Zheng Xian'er to lift her feet and leave.

Ning Jinxiu was unwilling, and chased after him with a bite of silver teeth: "Your Highness!" ”

"What?" Lou Que was completely unwilling to hide his impatience.

Ning Jinxiu was so aggrieved that she almost cried, but she had to grit her teeth ninja and squeeze out a gentle and peaceful smile: "The peony flowers in the garden are blooming, why don't Your Highness go and see them?" Jinxiu heard people talking on the road just now, saying that His Royal Highness's old friends Li Shuling and Ge Gongzi were all there to enjoy the flowers! ”

Lou Que turned his head and smiled faintly: "If Miss Ning likes peonies, go and watch them yourself." There are better peony flowers here in the main palace to see, so I won't go. ”

Ning Jinxiu also wanted to ask him where the "better peony flower" was, but she happened to see Zheng Xian'er's footsteps move, and the peony flower embroidered with gold thread on the skirt trembled slightly, like a breeze blowing through the flower branches, which was beautiful.

It turned out that the best peony flowers, on her body.

Ning Jinxiu only felt a bitterness in her throat, and she almost cried.

But she still didn't cry.

In fact, Lou Que's smile just now has made her feel a lot better: although he often can't see her, at least he is still willing to smile at her, isn't he?

With such confidence, Ning Jinxiu became more and more emboldened, and turned to the front of the building with a smile: "Is Your Highness going to see the queen mother at this moment?" When Jinxiu first entered the garden, he went to visit the queen mother, and when he exited, he heard the palace maids discuss, saying that the mother did not sleep well last night, and got up too early today. - At this time, the queen is only afraid that she is resting, and if Her Royal Highness goes to disturb, she is afraid that the mother will be displeased. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a sneer immediately came from outside the hall: "Sister Ning, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the flesh and blood of the queen's mother, where did your family come from, what 'disturb' or not 'disturb'?" Only outsiders who come to others without knowing how to advance or retreat are called 'disturbing'! ”

As soon as this voice came, Ning Jinxiu's face couldn't help but darken.

This is none other than Xing Wanshu, the seventh lady of the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, Miss Xing Qi also walked in surrounded by a large group of little sisters, and bowed to Lou Que generously: "Please Your Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Zheng An." ”

Lou Que grabbed Zheng Xian'er's hand and smiled: "You are exempt from courtesy." ”

Ning Jinxiu was so angry that her face turned green.

She had always known that Xing Wanshu's gang was shameless, but she didn't expect it to be shameless to such an extent! All of them are daughters with heads and faces, have they fallen to the point of saluting a nameless and penile market slut? In the long run, what is the system of the capital? Where is the decency of these young ladies of the family?!

Thinking of this, Ning Jinxiu couldn't help it, and let out a "hum" in her nose.

This time, it was Mrs. Ning's turn to blackface.

Old Mrs. Ning really didn't expect that her eldest granddaughter, who had never missed the rules, would be rude in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and even the famous and arrogant Seventh Miss of the Shangshu Family of the Ministry of Rites could not compare!

What's good about going on like this?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Ning decided to stop her granddaughter from messing around anymore. So she knocked on her crutches and motioned to the maid beside her to bring Ning Jinxiu to her.

Ning Jinxiu looked unwilling: "Grandmother, I still have something to ......"

Mrs. Ning hated that iron could not become steel: "If you go on like this, no one will be able to help you!" ”

Ning Jinxiu knew what her grandmother was talking about, but she didn't think so at all: "Grandmother, I haven't done anything wrong!" The saints taught kings, ministers, fathers, fathers, sons, in order to respect the humble and orderly, how can we grovel to a lowly person? I know you want to persuade me to be patient for a while and wait for the next day, but I'd rather be like this, I can't do those disgusting things! ”

"You're confused!" Old Mrs. Ning let out a long sigh, "Who is 'respected' and who is 'humble'?" Take a look for yourself, you are clearly a clown in front of others, how can you have half of the dignity of a family? You want to overwhelm her, where can you hold it! ”

Ning Jinxiu was still unconvinced, and wanted to defend herself, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Lou Que already holding Zheng Xian'er, and Xing Wanshu and them went out.

Ning Jinxiu felt that the whole world had collapsed, and immediately became depressed, completely forgetting that she had to maintain her noble and elegant image in front of outsiders.

Over there, Lou Que led Zheng Xian'er all the way and walked slowly, listening to Xing Wanshu's squeaky introduction to the scenery and interesting things in the garden, but she was also happy.

Since it is inconvenient to visit the queen, it is naturally the best choice to walk in the garden at this moment.

Many young masters and ladies in the garden couldn't help but show envy in their eyes when they saw Lou Que and Zheng Xian'er coming together.

How much disdain there was before, how much admiration there is now.

The young boys and girls are the most sincere and affectionate age, and when they see the two of them at this moment, they are full of thoughts of "the bell of love, and the secular etiquette is like dung", and they can't wait to write a long poem on the spot and sing a hymn to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his confidante.

As a result, the ranks of this group of people grew stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. Xing Wanshu was very talkative, and she was full of praise from all the young people along the way.

Lou Que led Zheng Xian'er to listen casually, and he also thought it was very interesting.

So Zheng Xian'er couldn't help but leaned into Lou Que's ear and smiled: "If you have to marry, you should marry this Xing Qi girl!" ”

Lou Que was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head: "You don't have to test me, I won't do that kind of stupid thing!" ”

"What 'stupid'? It's called 'Yanfu', okay! Zheng Xian'er winked at him.

At this time, a group of people came to meet and stood in the distance.

Lou Que saw it, frowned slightly, and clenched Zheng Xian'er's hand: "It's the queen mother." ”

Zheng Xian'er nodded: "Yes." ”

"Don't be afraid, the queen mother is not fierce." Lou Que took her by the hand and stepped forward.
