September 9, Chongyang, was originally a day to climb high and look far, respect the old and love the old, and it happened to be the birthday of the eldest princess of Tong'an.

As the highest-ranking ancestor of the Li Tang royal family and the Taiyuan royal family, her birthday is naturally extraordinarily grand, especially in such an auspicious special year as sixty-six.

On this day, the Wang family held a banquet in the main house in Jinyang City to celebrate the birthday of the eldest princess of Tong'an, relatives and friends of the Wang family, officials up and down Hedong, the powerful family, and celebrities were all invited to come, which can be described as very lively.

This year is particularly special that His Royal Highness King Jin came to congratulate the eldest princess on her birthday on behalf of the emperor, and undoubtedly became the most distinguished guest of the royal family.

When Li Zhi and Xie Yi put up the prince's ceremonial tent and came to congratulate them with generous gifts, the Wang family went out to greet them, full of respect and politeness.

Among them, it is Luo Shanling Wang Renyou who is the most outstanding person among the nephews of the Wang family, the most favorable, and the best choice for the next head of the family.

As for Wang Renli, who met in Pujin Pass, he was also among the greetings, but Xie Yi noticed that he was very low in the ranking, and now he was a figure who was not very valued and had little status in the Wang family.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is coming, the humble house is shining, and my royal family is shining, please please hurry." Wang Renyou was quite respectful and politely greeted Li Zhi into the door.

"Hmm!" Although Li Zhi is only thirteen years old, after all, he was born in the royal family, and he has been accustomed to seeing big scenes since he was a child, without the slightest feeling of stage fright, and he is quite calm and very royal.

Wang Renyou continued to smile: "Xie Changshi, please!" ”

"Luo Shanling is polite!" Xie Yi replied with a smile, speaking of which Wang Renyou is not a stranger, he had a relationship at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Luoyang.

Entering the gate of the Wang family, Xie Yicai sighed what is called the thousand-year-old Chinese family, the mansion occupies a large area, the house is carved and painted, and the materials and decorations are very exquisite. The design of the courtyard can also be described as ingenious. Many things are very special, they are all witnesses of history and years, and they all have great origins, which can witness the weight and longevity of the Taiyuan royal family.

I think that the Xie family of Chenjun may be more brilliant back then, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it, as for the Wang family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who was tied with the Xie family back then, it seems to be from the Langya Wang family.

The most important counties of the Wang clan in the world are in these two places, and now the Langya Wang clan has long been in decline, while the Taiyuan Wang clan has taken advantage of the situation and has become one of the five surnames and seven sects in the world. It is one of the best families in the world.

The so-called time has changed, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, probably like this!

While Xie Yi sighed, he followed Wang Renyou into Wang's house, and then went straight into a courtyard, and everyone he met along the way bowed and saluted, quite respectfully.

In the end, the group entered a courtyard, and Xie Yi looked up and saw the three big characters of Dangui Garden. If you want to come to the garden, you must be planted with osmanthus flowers. It is not close at this moment, but the quiet fragrance of osmanthus has already come to the nose.

"In autumn, there are osmanthus and chrysanthemums to enjoy, and my aunt can also have some interest in living here." Wang Renyou introduced with a smile, showing the respect of the Taiyuan Wang family for the eldest princess of Tong'an.

before entering the courtyard. Then I heard a woman's voice chirping inside: "Coming, coming......"

In this situation, there is a lot of Lin Daiyu when she first entered Jiafu, is the Wang family looking forward to the arrival of His Royal Highness King Jin?

However, when Li Zhi walked into the park, Xie Yi and Wang Renyou followed on the left and right. The little girls all cowered and avoided it, the family family, the minimum etiquette and rules must be understood.

Wang Renyou led the way. I saw a circle of people in front of the steps of the main hall, and in the middle sat a woman with half-white hair and a splendid dress.

"Auntie, His Royal Highness King Jin has arrived." Wang Renyou shouted, and a group of people in front of the steps hurriedly solemnized and bowed down to greet His Royal Highness King Jin.

"No courtesy." Li Zhi waved his hand, no one needed to introduce him at all, he stepped forward with great vision, bowed down and said: "Grandson Li Zhi to meet my aunt and grandmother, I wish you old happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

This is the auspicious words that Xie Yi taught him before he came, and it is very appropriate to come at this time. Sure enough, the whole Wang family felt that His Royal Highness King Jin's words were very novel, but after a little recitation, Fang Jue was very appropriate, full of blessings for longevity.

"Okay, pheasant slave, huh? Come to my aunt and grandmother. "The eldest princess of Tong'an is not politely restrained because of Li Zhi's status as a prince, after all, he is not an emperor, not a prince.

As an ancestor of the royal family, it is not rude for her to spoil her nephew like this, but a manifestation of intimacy.

"Auntie!"

"Well, it's really good-looking, a talent, and very much like Emperor Gaozu and His Majesty." The eldest princess of Tong'an stroked Li Zhi's forehead and praised her.

However, this sentence does not seem to be good if the crown prince and the king of Wei are stopped. The words of a certain son father don't dare to say anything casually in the royal family, but Princess Tong'an doesn't care, and the words of an old lady who is not in Chang'an will not cause any misunderstanding.

"Grandma praised it." Li Zhi was very well-behaved and modest.

The eldest princess of Tong'an nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "How is your father?" ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Okay, my father ordered me to greet my aunt and grandmother on his behalf and congratulate him on his birthday." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Pheasant." The eldest princess of Tong'an laughed and said, "What about your brothers and sisters? ”

"It's all right, all my brothers and sisters have asked me to pay my aunt and grandmother's birthday and wish you a long life." Li Zhi's mouth is very sweet, which makes the eldest princess of Tong'an happy.

"Your Majesty teaches his son well, and the pheasant slave is a good boy." The eldest princess of Tong'an said with a smile: "If the children and grandchildren of my Li family are like this, my Datang will be stable and prosperous for a long time." ”

"That's nature!" Wang Renyou echoed with a smile on the side.

The eldest princess of Tong'an raised her head at this time, looked around, and when she saw Xie Yi, she asked with a smile, "Who is this?" ”

Wang Renyou hurriedly introduced: "Aunt Hui, this is Xie Changshi from the palace of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, waiting for His Highness to come to Hedong this time. ”

"Xie Yi has met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I wish you a long and healthy old life."

"Okay, young and promising, a talent, the pheasant slave can be so well-behaved and sensible, and there must be your credit." The eldest princess of Tong'an said with a smile.

Wang Renyou took the opportunity to say: "Auntie, Xie Changshi is a world-famous talent, who saved the life of His Royal Highness the King of Jin back then, and has contributed to the country more times, and is even valued by His Majesty." ”

The eldest princess of Tong'an smiled: "Really? Very good young man, the court needs talents like you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, eldest princess." Xie Yi was not polite and accepted the praise honorably.

"Renyu, you are the landlord. Remember to entertain your guests, and don't neglect my guests, you know? ”

With the order of the eldest princess of Tong'an, Wang Renyou did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed.

……

Xie Yi saw it in his eyes and felt quite interesting.

Unexpectedly, something more interesting would appear again, and the eldest princess of Tong'an laughed and said, "Pheasant slave, I came to let you meet the people from my aunt's grandmother's family." ”

"Yes!"

With a wave of her hand, the eldest princess of Tong'an suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and Xie Yi obviously noticed it. Among them, there are many boys and girls.

Several men are all excellent children of the Taiyuan Wang family, and it is necessary for them to get in touch with the prince. Then there is a group of girls, and they are about the same age as Li Zhi, and they are arranged with the eldest princess of An, and I don't know what they have in mind.

Something interesting, haha!

The eldest princess of Tong'an waved her hand and said, "Jie'er, come here!" ”

One of the daughters at the front stepped forward quickly when she heard the sound, and seemed to be very cheerful, but her expression was inevitably a little arrogant.

"Pheasant slave. This is my nephew, Queen Jie, the daughter of Wang Renyou. The eldest princess of Tong'an smiled and said, "Jie'er, I have come to see His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

"Queen Jie of the people has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Wang Jie immediately stepped forward and saluted with a smile.

"Well, excuse me!" Li Zhi waved his hand gently. Respond courteously.

Xie Yi, who was standing on the side, was greatly shaken in his heart, he just introduced to the eldest princess of Tong'an, the person in front of him is Wang Renyou's daughter, she is the queen in history?

I can't go wrong. The Wang family obviously intended to match this girl with Li Zhi. The eldest princess of Tong'an has married into the Wang family for many years, and she must consider the descendants of the Wang family. There are too many women who have done this in history, such as the Empress Dowager Bo of the Han Dynasty who wanted to marry her niece and granddaughter to Emperor Jing of Han as the empress. They all want to use the power of the royal family to seek power and benefits for their husband's family or their mother's family.

However, most of the time, such a result is not very good, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Empress Bo is the most wasted, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Empress Chen Ajiao is also bitter and similar, if there is no accident in history, the fate of this queen is not much better, and her mother is even more depreciated, giving the surname Python.

However, in the current situation, it is not good to say what will happen, and the eldest princess of Tong'an obviously can't realize what will happen in the future, so it is a good intention to make a match. It's just that whether it can be done, especially a good thing, depends on the will of God.

However, judging from the current situation, the result does not seem to be very good, Xie Yi noticed that Li Zhi's eyes were not on this good girl named Wang Jie at all. Instead, he kept looking behind him, as if he was looking for someone, and when he saw a familiar face, there was some surprise in his eyes.

Xie Yi followed his gaze and saw that the girl who crossed the river together at Pujin Pass that day, Wang Renli's daughter Wang Yan, happened to be standing there.

She is also the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, but unfortunately her status is not very high, so she can only stand at the back, but for her, it is actually a kind of luck to be able to appear here and be seen by Li Zhi again.

Will we ever meet again?

Xie Yi remembered Li Zhi's question, it was only a few days later, and his wish came true, presumably His Royal Highness King Jin must be very happy now.

It's just that some people are unhappy, although Wang Renyou's daughter Wang Jie is arrogant, she is also enthusiastic about Li Zhi. But at this moment, she found that her enthusiasm had not been responded to and valued at all, especially when she was sure that Li Zhi was staring at other girls, Wang Jie's expression suddenly changed.

Unhappy, the kind of unconvinced expression when the rich daughter who wants to get the wind and the rain suddenly receives a setback.

Wang Renyou and the eldest princess of Tong'an both discovered this problem, and they followed Li Zhi's gaze to see Wang Yan, and they naturally didn't know the reason. Wang Renli is a smart man, he has always been relatively low-key, and after returning home, he has never boasted to anyone that he has been on the same boat with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and his daughter is favored by His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

Therefore, the eldest princess of Tong'an and Wang Renyou are a little puzzled, although the daughters of the Wang family are here, but the most outstanding is Wang Jie. She looks beautiful and has the most grace, but His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't give any truth to her?

Instead, he looked at Wang Yan, who was very low-key in the crowd, what was so special about that girl? Although it has a bit of beauty, it seems to be inferior to his own daughter, let alone any bearing? Wang Renyou didn't even know which side Wang Yan was the daughter of, but he subconsciously thought so.

But the eldest princess is different, at the age of sixty-six, she seems to others to be a little old and dizzy, but she can see it more thoroughly than anyone else.

When she saw Wang Yan for the first time, she had a feeling that this girl had a familiar feeling, as if she was someone.

Like whom?

The eldest princess of Tong'an suddenly remembered that more than 20 years ago, there was also such a girl of the same age with her nephew, that was Gao Shilian's niece, the youngest daughter of the eldest grandson's family, named Guanyin, and later became the queen of the world, but unfortunately died early.

No wonder Li Zhi saw her for the first time, it turned out that she was a queen mother and had similarities, Xie Yi didn't understand this reason at first, but it was love at first sight, but the eldest princess of Tong'an knew it.

Which house is this child's daughter, why did she never pay attention to it? The eldest princess of Tong'an couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, and waved to let Wang Yan come over.

"Queen Yan of the people has seen His Royal Highness King Jin."

"Excuse me, are you okay these days?" Li Zhi is obviously very enthusiastic, and his sentence also exposes the familiar relationship with Wang Yan.

"You've seen it?" The eldest princess of Tong'an asked with a smile.

Xie Yi replied on the side: "When crossing the Yellow River at that time, His Royal Highness happened to be in the same boat with the little lady. ”

It turned out to be like this, and I don't know why, a sentence subconsciously came to everyone's minds - a hundred years of cultivation in the same boat, this fate, it's really a coincidence.

The eldest princess of Tong'an nodded lightly, thoughtful.

Over there, Wang Renyou's face sank slightly, obviously he didn't expect that his daughter would be cut off by someone like this. But after thinking about it, I didn't think there was anything, I just met once, what's the big deal? After all, his daughter's talent and bearing are more outstanding.

It's just that he never expected that his daughter's subsequent performance was really unbearable, and Wang Jie, who had been left out in the cold, was inevitably resentful, her mouth had already been pursed, and she was full of unhappiness. looked at Wang Yan's eyes and was quite unfriendly, and even Li Zhi didn't have a good face.

The eldest lady with strong self-esteem felt as if she had been humiliated, but she didn't have any city government, and everything was written on her face.

This is really ......

Xie Yi smiled secretly in his heart, no wonder Queen Wang couldn't fight Concubine Xiao Shu in the palace, lured the wolf into the room and invited Wu Meiniang back, and finally ended up with a fiasco, which is really related to her character and intelligence.

But now it seems that maybe she will lose the opportunity to become the queen from the beginning...... (To be continued.) )
