125. The palace banquet is like a battlefield

The next day, Zheng Xian'er found that she was pitted by Lou Que again.

Looking at the clothes and jewelry full of beds, she almost wanted to cry without tears: "Didn't you say that you would go to see the emperor again during the Duanyang Festival?" What's going on today? ”

Zhong Er stood outside the screen and respectfully: "Today is a big banquet specially set up for the prince's return to the sect, which is a hundred times more important than the dragon boat meeting of the Duanyang Festival." ”

"But, wasn't the palace banquet yesterday?" Zheng Xian'er felt that she was not so easy to deceive.

Zhong Er said unhurriedly: "Yesterday was a big court meeting, and there were many government affairs, so it was postponed to today." The master specially instructed the little one to prepare all the outfits for grandma, and asked grandma to go. ”

Zheng Xian'er lost her temper: "I can't go!" Lou Que is a liar! ”

Zhong'er bowed her head and was very patient: "Grandma can't go." Everyone who enters the palace for the banquet today will bring their families, and even the fifteen-year-old King Hejian will bring the princess there. When the time comes, everyone will be in pairs, and only our master is alone, which is too embarrassing! ”

"He disgraces him, what's the matter with me!" Zheng Xian'er was angry.

Zhong'er smiled silently and lowered his head: "Master said, grandma will definitely not feel sorry for him and lose face, but the emperor and queen will be distressed, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be distressed, this distress - I am afraid that the matter of choosing the crown princess will be decided in advance!" ”

Zheng Xian'er was stunned.

Zhong Er continued: "In fact, the highlight of such a big banquet in the palace is that the emperor and queen give the sons and ladies of each family a random amount of mandarin duck scores. Most of those daughters are versatile, when the time comes, who plays a good tune, who recites a good poem, the emperor and queen are happy, and a finger is considered to be a red line, who dares to say a 'no'? ”

"That's not going to work!" Zheng Xian'er's face changed.

With Lou Que, the prince who fell from the sky, how can those girls see others in their eyes? When the time comes, all the piano playing, dancing, singing, and painting will come up, and after this banquet, won't he marry ten or eight?

Don't say that he doesn't want to marry this kind of nonsense, when the girl dances and toasts, she is delicate and soft, and she stands unsteadily and falls into his arms, what do you say? You can't watch other girls go home and hang themselves, right?

The more Zheng Xian'er thought about it, the more she felt that today's Fu'an Hall had clearly become a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and Louque was already in danger.

What are you hesitating about? You must go, and you will go under the knife!

So without waiting for Zhong'er to urge again, Zheng Xian'er had already "snapped" and slapped on the table: "Call someone to come in and dress me!" You're going to dress me up like the crowd! ”

So an hour later, Zheng Xian'er put on all the clothes and jewelry on the bed and went out majestically.

Before she could get into the car, she regretted it.

Although she herself is also a jewelry seller, no one has ever told her that those hairpins and jade combs will be so heavy together!

And the dress - it's almost summer now, is it really good to wear such a thick, wide robe with gold threads and big sleeves?

Zheng Xian'er is unwilling to wronged herself. After noticing the discomfort, she immediately changed her mind: "Accompany me back to change this outfit!" ”

Xiaozhi had no objection, but a maid named "Yan Niang" sent by Lou Que held her hand: "These clothes and jewelry were all picked by His Royal Highness the Prince, so don't change them?" ”

"But I'm tired!" Zheng Xian'er was not happy.

Yan Niang said with a smile: "The royal banquet was originally for the sake of competing for beauty, whoever looks the best will win, and it is worth being tired." ”

Zheng Xian'er thinks it's not worth it.

Yan Niang gently persuaded again: "Those daughters at the banquet are eager to wear all their belongings on their bodies, if grandma is too shabby, those who are not long-eyed may still think that you are not favored!" ”

Zheng Xian'er thought about it, so she had to endure it patiently.

Yan Niang lowered her head and smiled, and her gentle eyes showed a bit of cunning.

In the palace, Fu'an Palace.

Before the early dynasty was dispersed, the children and female dependents of the various prefectures who had rushed over early had already arrived one after another, dressed up in jewels, standing or sitting, and gathered in a courtyard full of flowers.

Of course, there are also some girls with outstanding looks and clever minds who prefer to do the opposite, dressed very plainly, and look particularly maverick in a dazzling array of pearls and jades, and inevitably attract many admiring or disdainful eyes, and faintly become the focus of attention.

Among these women, the Ning Da girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion is the most outstanding.

At this moment, there were seven or eight girls sitting beside Ning Jinxiu, "sister" was long and "sister" was short, squeaking endlessly.

Ning Jinxiu shook her fan for a while, listening to everyone's compliments with a smile, and looked like she stood out from the crowd.

In addition to this gang, the remaining women were led by Xing Wanshu, the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, Xing Wanshu returned from enjoying the flowers with three or four little sisters who had been friends for a long time, and saw that this pavilion was full of people from a distance, so she sank her face and snorted coldly: "It's that eye-catching thing again!" ”

The little sister next to her hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Xing doesn't have to pay attention to her." Her little trick of pretending to be high-minded, even we can't hide it, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be coaxed by her? ”

Another person also hurriedly followed: "That face was born normally, and she still wants to learn from the ancient beauties who don't apply powder and face the sky, it's really stupid!" If I were her, I would have to smear at least two catties of powder on my face before I dared to go out! ”

The woman who spoke had a very delicate face, and she had the confidence to laugh at other people's appearances.

Xing Wanshu raised her hand to support the step on her sideburns, and a smile appeared on her face.

She is confident, looks and makeup, and she is the most top-notch among the girls in the garden. As for Ning Jinxiu, who is more eye-catching than her, in her opinion, she is just an inconspicuous gray sparrow, who has been touted as an immortal in the world by virtue of her family background!

If you really want to compare the family background, is the Xing family worse? Prime Minister Ning is the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, and the Xing family is a famous family for three or four hundred years!

The little sisters here were chattering at Ning Jinxiu's "fake Qinggao", and Ning Jinxiu in the pavilion over there also saw them and hooked the corners of her lips mockingly.

Miss Ning was not willing to scold people in person, so the girls next to her opened her mouth for her with interest: "Isn't that the seventh child of the Xing family over there?" Look at the way she dresses! Standing in a green dress in the bushes and couldn't see it, I could only see her head swaying like a parrot! ”

This taunt was quite in place, and Miss Ning was very satisfied with it, and opened her mouth with a smile: "You don't know, do you? A few years ago, the puppet emperor sent someone to the Lou family in Sangyu County to pass the decree, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites whimsically entrusted the father-in-law Li Gonggong who passed the decree to tell the matchmaker for his family, and wanted to marry the seventh girl to the fifth son of the Lou family, that is, the current prince! - Guess what happened in the end? ”

Hearing this, the girls' eyes immediately widened, and they began to ask questions.

Ning Jinxiu took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said leisurely: "The Lou family refused!" Speaking of which, Xing Shangshu does have the wisdom to understand people, but it's a pity that he didn't weigh it carefully to see if his daughter can be worthy! ”

"Really? Is there such a thing? Shame on the dead! The girls covered their mouths and laughed gloatingly.

Someone deliberately sighed in a tone of pity: "In this way, our Xing Qi girl is really pitiful, and she is in a hurry to send it to others, but they don't want it!" If I were her, I would be too ashamed to go out! It's also because she is thick-skinned, and she can still dress up and shake around when she is embarrassed and thrown to her grandmother's house! ”

Another person continued: "It's useless to hang around!" The Lou family has already refused once, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince willing to eat the grass? I look at her, or obediently admit her fate, and find a general who doesn't dislike her! ”

"You can't say that," someone said with a sneer, "Miss Shangshufu, it's not wrong that your heart is higher than the sky!" People are just thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince, if they can't be a princess, it's good to be a side concubine or a concubine! ”

"Yo-" someone laughed in a lengthened voice, "To be the crown prince's concubine?" Wouldn't that be to kowtow to our splendid sister every day? ”

The smile in Ning Jinxiu's eyes couldn't be hidden, but the corners of her lips were pressed stiffly, refusing to laugh: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, don't talk nonsense!" ”

All the women understood, and they all nodded obediently, smiling like flowers.

Since it is not convenient for the princess to talk about it publicly, everyone has to think about other topics. A little girl thought for a while, and asked Ning Jinxiu curiously: "Sister just said that the puppet emperor sent someone to the Lou family in Sangyu County to pass on the decree?" But when the puppet emperor was in power, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not get the top prize in the exam? What is the message? ”

Ning Jinxiu's face was immediately difficult to look at.

There was a little sister who didn't know some inside information, and couldn't help but say: "I know this!" Because of the longevity festival - when the puppet emperor celebrated his birthday, the virgin woman of the Lou family offered an embroidered "Hundred Longevity Map" as a congratulatory gift, and the puppet emperor liked it very much, and specially ordered to praise it! I heard that the embroidery is still hanging in the side hall of the imperial study! ”

"Humph!" Ning Jinxiu threw the fan in his hand on the table.

Several of the little girls were startled.

A clever one had already come back to his senses, and he was busy patting the shoulder of the person who spoke before: "Don't say it!" Where did the Lou family in Sangyu County come from? A shameless slut! ”

The little girls have always lived in the boudoir, and rarely heard any vulgar language. As soon as those two words came out, both the speaker and the listener blushed.

The little girl who asked before gently patted her face: "It's all because I asked a stupid question, which made my sisters think of that bad, it's really unlucky!" ”

Ning Jinxiu slowly reached out and picked up the fan again, her face was cold, and she said leisurely: "Where is this?" There will be many bad things in the future. ”

The girl who had just said the wrong thing had already regretted it, and now she was busy making amends, so she had to smile and say, "Yes, sister, such a despicable, shameless, vulgar and ugly country stupid woman, what can I do in front of you every day in the future!" Now that her children are about to be born, it is hard to guarantee that she will not rely on the child to make you angry in the future! Let's think of a way to prevent it from happening! ”

"How can we prevent it from happening?" A few little girls asked curiously.

One of them suddenly sneered, "What's so difficult about this? I've heard that she has a big belly and is restless, and she often runs around in a carriage! Think about it, it's not unusual for her to run around as a pregnant woman, startling the horse or getting out of the car and flashing her waist, right? ”

Before she could finish speaking, someone next to her immediately answered: "This idea is really worth trying!" Even if you can't get rid of her, at least you have to break her child! Where is she, a slut in the market, destined for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give birth to children? This is simply defiling the royal bloodline! ”

All the women were a little shocked when they heard this, but at the same time they were faintly excited. A kind of pride similar to the general's imminent battle on the battlefield secretly grows in their hearts.

Ning Jinxiu curled the corners of her lips and showed a gentle and modest smile: "Don't talk nonsense." Human life is at stake, not a joke. ”

"Lives matter?" A woman raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Then she has to be considered a 'person' first!" An ugly and despicable stupid woman in the market, her life is worse than that of a dog! You wait and see, you don't need Sister Jinxiu to teach her a lesson, as long as she dares to appear in front of me, I can tear her face in front of me! ”

Several women laughed, and one of them covered her mouth and smiled: "We admire Sister Jin Zhi's courage, but it's useless for you to say this here, can that slut still come to the Fu'an Hall for a banquet?" If it was a sparrow, she should honestly squat under the eaves of the thatched house, and if she borrowed a hundred guts, she would not have been able to go to the phoenix's nest to humiliate herself......"

Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden commotion under the corridor in the distance.

"What's going on? Check it out! Ning Jinxiu turned back to the maid and commanded.

The little girl hurriedly ran, and Ning Jinxiu lowered her head, looking preoccupied.

"Sister Jinxiu, what's wrong?" The little girls were a little worried.

Ning Jinxiu smiled and shook her head, but did not answer.

The little girl quickly ran back, panting: "Miss, Miss is not good, that-"

Someone next to him immediately scolded: "How is this girl talking nonsense!" What do you mean by 'Miss is not good'? ”

All the women laughed. Only Ning Jinxiu subconsciously squeezed the fan in her hand, and her heart jumped "pounding".

The little maid settled down, and said hurriedly: "Girls, don't laugh at me, it's the ...... That Zheng is here! ”

"Which Zheng?" Everyone was a little confused.

The little maid was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "It's the one the girls were talking about just now!" ”

"That slut? How dare she come?! All the women stood up in unison.

Someone smiled at Ning Jinxiu and said, "Sister Jinxiu, you are here to bring humiliation!" If we don't give her some color, wouldn't we be sorry that she came here today? Let's go, let's see! ”

Ning Jinxiu's legs and stomach were a little trembling, and she couldn't stand up for a long time, so she had to laugh and say, "You guys are so disagreeable!" Today's visitors are all distinguished guests, if it is unpleasant, everyone's face is not good-looking! ”

The women knew that she was modest, and they didn't force her, but they just pulled each other out of the pavilion, saying that they would find "that slut" and let out a bad breath for their splendid sister.

So everyone rushed out in a majestic manner, and saw a woman surrounded by maidservants, slowly walking towards this side under the guidance of the attendant.

Several girls were about to rush over and scold, but suddenly they all stood still.

Not only them, but all the people who were talking and laughing in the garden gathered around one after another when they heard the movement, but in the end they all froze on both sides of the corridor, and no one spoke for a long time, and of course no one greeted them.

Just because, this woman who came over is too outstanding!

She wore a bright and solemn dark red, with large clusters of peony flowers embroidered with gold thread, and red gold jewelry on her head, and the gems inlaid with red and yellow were also warm colors. This outfit is extremely ostentatious, as if I can't wait to embroider the words "gorgeous" and "noble" on clothes and jewelry for everyone to see.

If ordinary people wear this outfit, others will definitely cover their mouths and laugh at the words "cheesy" or "dirt buns", but the woman in front of them is dressed like this, and no one thinks it is inappropriate.

It's just because she can handle it!

Although this woman did not walk quickly, she did not have the slightest caution in her steps, but walked out of a calm and elegant manner. When others looked at her straight back and slender neck from afar, they knew that what flowed in this person's bones was noble blood, and she would not look at anyone in her eyes!

A few prodigal children who had planned to come over to watch the excitement somehow quietly took a few steps back.

Have low self esteem!

The woman in front of her has Ning Jinxiu's lofty arrogance and Xing Wanshu's delicate and bright, but her demeanor and elegance are far better than these two people!

If Ning Jinxiu is an elegant white swan and Xing Wanshu is a gorgeous golden chicken, then this woman is undoubtedly the only phoenix.

Who would laugh at a phoenix whose feathers are too showy? Of course not, just because no matter how gorgeous the color is on her body, even the high bulging abdomen does not detract from her beauty and nobility in the slightest!

The woman did not squint, and followed the chamberlain all the way into the side hall unhurriedly, and the onlookers gradually came back to their senses.

"That's it...... That confidante of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Everyone asked each other, but not to ask for an answer from someone else, but to see the same shock on each other's face as they were themselves.

Their words have even imperceptibly become awe-inspiring.

The most shocking thing was not the women, but the children of the noble family who went to the Peony Garden with Lou Ming'an last time.

They had met Zheng Xian'er.

It's just that Zheng Xian'er, who I saw last time, was wearing the most common short skirt, and only a hairpin was inserted in her bare bun, which was not shabby. At that time, everyone thought that this woman was beautiful, but it was far from being "amazing". At that time, they even laughed secretly in their hearts: in the end, they came from a small place, and the woman they fancied was so unacceptable!

Only now do they realize that they had been very wrong.

If such a woman is not worthy of the prince, who else in the world is worthy?

After a few moments, the garden suddenly boiled.

Everyone began to talk about this "lowly-born" and "misbehaving" woman, but almost no one spoke out again.

Everyone knows that they are nothing in front of her, just like they are nothing in front of Lou Que.

From that point of view, those two are an unexpected match!

After a long time, the girls returned to the pavilion in despair.

Ning Jinxiu saw their faces, and her heart tightened: "Why, so many of you were scolded by her?" ”

The women sat down silently and picked up their previous tea bowls, regardless of whether the tea was cold or not, they poured it down in a daze, and their faces gradually showed a little bit of vitality.

Ning Jinxiu didn't even get an answer to ask a few words, and couldn't help but get angry: "What's the matter?" You pride yourself on reading poetry and books all day long, but you can't even win a street shrew at this time? ”

Ruan Jinzhi smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh: "Noisy? Sister, the woman didn't speak, didn't even look at us. ”

"What the hell is going on?!" Ning Jinxiu was in a hurry.

Several women exchanged glances with each other, and three of them stood up at the same time: "Sister Jinxiu, it's His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go over and talk to her!" ”

"What do we have to say to a? Are you evil? Ning Jinxiu was furious.

Ruan Jinzhi shook his head, still smiling bitterly: "Sister Jinxiu, it's not that we have the ambition to destroy our own prestige, it's really ...... Not only us, but even you, are far inferior to her. ”

"Where am I not as good as her?!" Ning Jinxiu was so angry that her face was crooked.

Ruan Jinzhi sighed gloomily: "She's good-looking." ”

Ning Jinxiu smiled angrily: "Who doesn't know that she is good-looking?" What's the use of looking good? She's just a straw bale beauty! She was born from a humble background, has no ink, has a vulgar demeanor, and has a bad record, even if she is born with a good skin, she is still worthless inside! Do you think you're far inferior to an embroidered pillow? ”

A little girl thought about it sullenly for a long time, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I don't know what is in her skin, but ...... Even if it's an embroidered pillow, her skin is already worth a fortune, does it matter if it's worth it in her bones? ”

This remark was widely approved.

Ning Jinxiu was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she almost couldn't sit steadily.

The little girl sighed, "I would like to see her again and talk to her." If Sister Jinxiu doesn't go, I'll go by myself. ”

"I'll go too!" Someone immediately chimed in.

Ning Jinxiu's face darkened, and her elegant and noble temperament was gone. She stood up, slapped the table and said angrily, "Go anywhere!" Don't come back to see me if you go! ”

The women looked at each other, and finally four people stood up one after another and said to her "unaccompanied".

Ning Jinxiu, who was almost angry, looked at the only two little sisters left beside her, and asked with a calm face, "You don't go?" ”

The two looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. One of them smiled reluctantly: "Sister Jinxiu, how many years have we been friends with you, if you don't like her, we naturally won't go to please her." ”

Ning Jinxiu gritted her teeth and asked, "You mean, those wastes want to curry favor with that slut?" ”

The woman smiled bitterly, "Yes." Previously, we looked down on her because we believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not spoil her for too long. But now...... To be honest, if we were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we would love her the same. She's so good, maybe she can really be spoiled, of course everyone can't help but want to please her......"

Before she finished speaking, Ning Jinxiu couldn't help but drop the tea bowl: "Since she is so good, why don't you go?" Why don't you go and hold her stinky feet, so that she can say a few kind words for you in front of His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

The two girls had never seen her angry, and they were both frightened at this time.

Ning Jinxiu sneered and sat down again: "I think you guys are confused!" Even if she was born with a fairy-like skin, she is still the daughter of a poor craftsman, and the throne of the crown princess is not yet her turn! Let's wait and seeβ€”with a good-looking face, how many days can she invite grace? ”
