Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Birthday Banquet
Jiang Xiaoyu stepped forward to greet Zhao Yan, looked at the self-conscious little boy, and said, "Xiaoyu has seen the five princes!" ”
"Have you seen Prince Ben?" Zhao Li raised his eyes and asked, standing beside the tall second prince and trying to make an adult appearance.
Emperor Zhou is not a woman, there are only five sons under his knees, the eldest prince, that is, the first prince, has been executed by him, and the fourth prince died early, and now the fifth prince is still young, but he does not have to be involved in the fight between the two brothers.
"Although I haven't seen it, but looking at the demeanor of the five princes, I can guess your identity!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, expecting Zhao Yan to say, "The second prince actually had time to take the fifth prince out of the palace to play today?" ”
"This kid is clamoring to come out, it just so happens that Mr. praises him for doing his homework well, I will take him out to see the world, it's not good for boys to roll in the fat powder pile all the time, it's good for him to have a little more experience!" Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.
The fifth prince and the second prince look very similar, and I don't know what the third prince looks like, whether these brothers are all carved out of the same mold.
"This prince has heard of you, you are going to marry Brother Ling, and we will be a family in the future!" Zhao Li looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and smiled slightly, thought about it and said, "My mother also mentioned you, if you are free, go to the palace and talk to your mother!" ”
"Yes, if you are free, you must enter the palace to meet Concubine Jinniang!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.
"I heard that you almost had an accident two days ago, but are you okay?" After the second prince finished speaking, he immediately smiled, "I think it's because I'm overthinking, in the matter of Canghao Mountain, Miss Jiang's courage and martial arts have impressed me!" ”
"Thanks to the second prince, this time it can be regarded as a thrill!"
"Although you have martial arts, but when the enemy is dark and I am bright, you must be careful, you must not be brave and strong, you must know that there are people outside the sky!" The second prince thought about it and said.
"Thank you for the reminder, Xiaoyu remember!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and smiled, "It's not good for us to stand here and talk, and it's not good for others to enter!" ”
"Okay, let's go! Miss Jiang, please! The second prince said.
The three of them entered together, and Zhao Qian was already waiting at the door, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the two of you actually met together!" Inside please! ”
He said to Zhao Yan again: "By the way, my father has also returned, and now in the alchemy room, your son said that you wanted to see your father, but you can go and find him!" ”
"Got it!" Zhao Yandao took Zhao Li into the house, met several acquaintances head-on, and greeted each other.
"Miss Jiang, please come inside, the female guests are all in the courtyard of the concubine, and there will be a maidservant to take you there later!" Zhao Qian said that he usually likes to wear bright red clothes, which makes this beautiful face bewitching, but today he wears a dark robe, which is a little more stable, but he can't hide the demonic aura between his eyebrows and eyes.
"That, Sister Xiaoyu......" Zhao Qian smiled evilly, "After today's guests, there is one who is a little special, and has some relationship with our prince, I will remind you first, I hope that Sister Xiaoyu can be prepared!" ”
"Oh? What is the origin? Isn't the enemy looking for me to seek revenge? Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a puzzled smile.
"It's not like you're having a grudge, all in all, it's good that you're prepared!" Zhao Qian pretended to be mysterious and said, "Come in quickly, my mother is waiting to see Zhao Ling's fiancée!" ”
"Okay, I'm going to see the princess!" Jiang Xiaoyu said helplessly, "But King Jin, if you are really looking for revenge, you are only afraid of disturbing the princess's birthday banquet, you arrange it like this, I am afraid that you are interested in watching the excitement, or maybe, I will go and see what kind of excitement makes King Jin so interested!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu waited for the maidservant to lead the way down to the courtyard of the old princess of Jin, and not long after she left, the county lord Qiwen ran over out of breath.
"Brother, I just found out that Sister Su Xuan is also here, is Xiaoyu here, it's best not to let the two of them meet!" Lord Qiwen said.
"Just went in!" Zhao Qian gloated.
"Brother, why don't you stop it!" Lord Qiwen stomped her feet and scolded, "How can you let them meet!" ”
"It's not a matter of time!" Zhao Qian smiled, "What are you afraid of, that kid Zhao Ling should be afraid of!" ”
"You always scold me for being ignorant, you are the most ignorant one! If something happens, see how you end up! Qiwen scolded, she hurried towards the courtyard of the concubine, hoping that the two would not fight.
Jiang Xiaoyu came all the way to the princess's courtyard under the leadership of the maidservant, and saw that the courtyard was extremely lively, and there were already many daughters and ladies who had arrived, all of whom were acquaintances and were greeting each other.
"Miss Jiang!" Yan Shuxing came with two female companions to greet Jiang Xiaoyu, "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to be harmed?" ”
"Thank you Miss Yan for your concern, I'm fine, I haven't seen you for some time, I heard that Miss Yan has set a marriage two days ago, and I haven't had time to congratulate you, I hope it's not too late!"
"Getting married and having children, every woman comes over like this, it's just an ordinary thing in life, there's nothing to congratulate!" Yan Shuxing said with a smile, "Just now there is a maid to report to the princess, the fiancée of the prince is here, and the princess is looking forward to seeing you, so I don't dare to delay!" ”
"Okay, I'll talk to you after I meet the princess, and I'll see you later!" Jiang Xiaoyu was slightly blessed, and then walked towards the house.
A sneer appeared on Yang Manman's lips, and he said to a few people beside him: "Have you heard of it, Su Xuan is also here, I have heard about the matter between Su Xuan and Shizi earlier, and I don't know what will happen when the two meet!" ”
"Wouldn't it be better to watch a good show!"
"I heard that Su Xuan and Shizi almost got married, but because the King of Chu disagreed, it was delayed! Who knew that Jiang Xiaoyu would take advantage of the loophole later! Yang Manman proudly shared the news he heard with the female companion beside him, "Why don't you know what the King of Chu thinks, Su Xuan's father is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and her mother is the county lord, with a noble status, her beauty and talent are very outstanding, and she is kind-hearted, and she often helps the poor, so I don't know why the King of Chu is not eye-catching, and now I don't know why I agreed to the marriage of the prince and Jiang Xiaoyu, it's really a strange thing!" ”
"We'll just wait to see the show!"
"Trouble comes from the mouth, you should say a few words, otherwise you won't know if you have caused trouble!" Yan Shuxing persuaded.
Yan Shuxing's marriage was ordinary, which made several little sisters around her contemptuous, Yang Manman smiled: "Sister Yan is too cautious, just a few jokes, how can she get into trouble!" Maybe we didn't speak right, forgetting that Sister Yan was also the one who almost had a marriage contract with the son, but I don't know if that Miss Su Xuan would be as good-tempered as Sister Yan! ”
Yan Shuxing took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I kindly reminded me, but I don't want you to make fun of me, no matter what, the Tao is not the same, you can do whatever you like!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu entered the house, the old princess of Jin sat on the upper seat, laughing with several women, surrounded by several young women, the old princess of Jin was over forty years old, but she looked like she was in her early thirties, and she was very well maintained, and finally knew that Zhao Qian's peach blossom face came from this, and it was six points similar to the old princess of Jin. The old king of Jin is also interesting, ignoring such a beautiful wife, he actually wants to find immortals and asks, and gives up the throne to his son.
"I've seen the old princess!" Jiang Xiaoyu stepped forward to greet the old princess.
After being reminded by the people around her, the old princess reacted, and the fiancée in front of her was the fiancée of Zhao Ling's kid who she wanted to see, and she didn't show some disappointment for a while, but then she returned to normal, and kindly stretched out her hand towards Jiang Xiaoyu, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to the child, come here!" ”
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes to the old princess's side.
The old princess touched her hand and said with a smile: "Zhao Ling's child's marriage has also been in turmoil several times, and now it has finally been decided, that is, King Jin does not let people worry, if you meet your favorite girl, it would be good to settle the marriage as soon as possible!" Xiaoyu, you are married by His Majesty, and you will love each other and live a good life in the future! ”
"Yes!"
"This is the fiancée of the prince, like thunder, it is really famous as it is better to meet!" A shrill female voice came, and everyone looked sideways, only to see a woman with slightly dark skin and a little Miao Jiang style getting up and saying.
She walked to Jiang Xiaoyu's side, looked at her carefully, and said: "When the prince was in Yunnan, he had a few encounters, but he only knew that the prince's vision was high!" Looking at it now, it's not that the world's vision is high, it turns out that the world's taste is different! ”
"Being able to meet the taste of the prince has always been fate!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "Haven't asked this young lady yet?" ”
"This is Ma Rulan, the advance of General Ma, the guard general of Southern Xinjiang, I have always heard that the people of Southern Xinjiang are hot and refreshing, Miss Ma is really following the customs, and her temperament has become so straightforward!" Lord Qiwen entered and smiled faintly.
"County Lord, you!" Ma Rulan bit her lip, "When I was in the capital two years ago, I felt that I had the same temper as the county lord, and I was a confidant. "There is a southern barbarian in southern Xinjiang, the county lord seems to praise her, but in fact he secretly scolds her for being vulgar, is Ma Rulan going to be angry.
Qiwen felt a little uncomfortable on her face, and then smiled: "A joke, Miss Ma doesn't have to take it to heart, if there is any gaffe, I will apologize to Miss Ma first, and I hope Miss Ma doesn't take it to heart!" ”
"Today is the old princess's birthday, don't do a battle of will, Rulan apologize to Miss Jiang quickly!" I saw a woman next to me say softly.
This woman Jiang Xiaoyu noticed it as soon as she entered, her skin was like condensed fat, she looked like a fairy, and it was difficult not to attract attention!
