Chapter 21: The Eldest Princess's Mansion Invites
Didn't come?
The eldest princess of Yongping fell on Feng Tao again.
The little girl could not hide her nervousness, and was carefully observing her reaction.
The voice of the eldest princess of Yongping was quite calm: "Why didn't your eldest sister come to the flower banquet?" β
The small flower paper is pressed under the palm, because it is too hard, and the green tendons on the back of the hand are protruding.
The hand that was accustomed to holding long knives and sharp swords couldn't help but tremble lightly at this moment.
Intuitively, this answer was very important, and Feng Tao became more and more nervous.
What if the eldest sister didn't come because she wanted to recuperate, and the eldest princess gave up?
If the grandmother stopped the eldest sister from coming, wouldn't it make the eldest princess feel that she disrespected the elders?
The little girl thought for a while and replied, "The eldest sister came home after an accident, and my grandmother felt sorry for her and asked her to rest at home." β
Mrs. Niu asked Miss Feng to have a good rest, indicating that Miss Feng was in good health, but she didn't want her granddaughter to go out on this cusp when she was a grandmother.
The eldest princess of Yongping raised her eyebrows slightly, and ordered the female official with her head sideways: "Aunt Cui, you go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites and invite Miss Feng to come and enjoy the flowers." β
"Yes." The female officer respectfully withdrew.
Only the eldest princess of Yongping and Feng Tao were left in the pavilion, and for a while, the needles in the pavilion could be heard.
Noticing that there are more and more noble ladies here, there is a low voice.
"Feng Er, isn't that your third sister?" A noble lady with incredible eyes pulled Feng Mei for a moment.
Another noble girl was also surprised: "Feng Er, it shouldn't be your third sister who has entered the eyes of the eldest princess this year, right?" β
Feng Mei maintained a light smile on her face, but her face was hot.
If Feng Tao really got the blue eyes of the eldest princess today, then she wouldn't want to raise her head in front of these noble ladies in the future.
But the eyes can't deceive people, it is Feng Tao who is in the pavilion with the eldest princess at this moment, and even the only female official who stayed in the pavilion to serve the eldest princess has withdrawn.
Why did the eldest princess call Feng Tao over to speak?
Even if there is no trace of how to win the favor of the eldest princess, it should not be Feng Tao!
Feng Mei's hand in her sleeve tightened, thinking that she was still playing the piano with great strength just now, so that she didn't even know when Feng Tao was called over, she felt that she was a joke.
She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My third sister is the most innocentβ"
As for whether it was simply to please the eldest princess, or whether he was called for questioning because he got into trouble, it was up to people to guess.
Sure enough, a noble girl chuckled and said, "It's good to be simple, but sometimes it's easy to get into trouble." Feng Er, if you are a sister, you have to take care of your sister. β
It was Han Shoufu's granddaughter Han Yanning who spoke.
The Han family and the Feng family are in Kang'anfang together, and Han Yanning and Feng Cheng sisters are also childhood playmates, but they have gradually become estranged in recent years.
Feng Mei knew that Han Yanning and Feng Cheng did not deal with each other, and when she heard this somewhat harsh words, she smiled good-naturedly.
In the pavilion, the eldest princess of Yongping broke the silence with her mouth: "Go play, there are so many beautiful peony flowers in the garden." β
Feng Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bent his knees and retreated.
The eldest princess of Yongping sat alone for a long time, and her hand holding the flower note slowly opened.
There was not a word on the flower paper, only a bright moon falling on the paper.
The eldest princess of Yongping's hands were still shaking.
Her daughter was born on the 14th day of the moon, which is also the origin of the title of the lord of the moon.
Yingyue has been missing for three years, and Miss Feng, who escaped from the kidnappers and returned home, sent such a flower note to her, if it has nothing to do with Yingyue, it is to tease her.
Would a little girl who was not in an optimistic situation dare to tease the eldest princess?
The eldest princess of Yongping believed that the eldest granddaughter of the dignified ceremonial department Shangshu would not be so stupid.
No matter what, she has to see Miss Feng today.
It's been three years, and there has been no news of my beloved daughter, even if I get a clue from Miss Feng's mouth, it's good.
The wind blew the gauze tent hanging under the eaves of the pavilion, and the eldest princess of Yongping sat quietly with her eyes down, and had no intention of looking at anything else.
Feng Tao returned to the noble girl and was pulled over by Feng Mei.
"Third sister, why did you go to the pavilion?"
As soon as these words came out, countless eyes fell on Feng Tao.
Feng Tao curled her lips: "His Highness asked me to go." β
That's!
Feng Mei felt that Feng Tao was deliberately provoking, but it was not easy to show her displeasure in front of everyone's eyes, and said with concern: "Why did Your Highness summon you to speak?" If the third sister has anything, she must tell me. β
Feng Tao smiled and said, "What's wrong with me." His Royal Highness called me over to ask why the eldest sister didn't come. β
"Ask the eldest sister?" Feng Mei thought she had heard it wrong, and she almost couldn't control her expression.
"Yes, Your Highness heard that my eldest sister didn't come, so I ordered the female official to invite me personally-"
"Impossible!"
Feng Mei was startled, thinking that she couldn't control her mouth and blurted out, only to find that it was Han Yanning who spoke.
Han Yan's face tightened, and he sneered: "I didn't know Feng Cheng had such a big face. β
Feng Tao didn't answer.
The noble girl who was good friends with Han Yanning smiled: "Didn't Miss Feng meet the flower child, Your Highness may be curious." β
When the women heard this, their complicated and sour mood was slightly relieved.
If you are a stranger to be seen by nobles, then there is nothing to envy.
But Feng Mei felt that it was not so simple.
Feng Cheng's words were still in his ears yesterday: "Maybe the eldest princess's mansion saw that I didn't go, so she came to invite me." β
When she heard it, she secretly laughed at Feng Cheng's idiot and said that she was dreaming, but why did she think she was in a dream at this moment?
Also feeling dreaming is Mrs. Niu.
"Your Highness invites the big girl to enjoy the flowers?"
"Mrs. Shangshu is not inconvenient, right?"
The female official's attitude was respectful, but Mrs. Niu didn't dare to look down on it, and said with a smile: "How come, this is the blessing of that girl." β
Mrs. Niu quickly sent her mother-in-law to invite Feng Cheng, until the female official left with Feng Cheng, and she didn't knock on the side to make a mistake.
A young man walked out from behind the willow tree, withdrew his gaze from the chasing carriage, touched his smooth chin and muttered: "That seems to be the carriage of the eldest princess of Yongping......"
He quickly rushed back to the Gongfu and reported the discovery to Lu Xuanyu.
"You mean, the carriage of the Eldest Princess's Mansion went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites?"
The person he was watching was arranged after he left the Shangshu Mansion in the morning, and he didn't expect to have an abnormality so soon.
After pondering for a while, Lu Xuan suddenly got up.
The carriage of the eldest princess of Yongping must be to pick up Miss Feng!
"Master, where are you going?"
"You don't have to." The boy strode out.
In the peony garden, as the female official led Feng Cheng into the pavilion, all the nobles seemed to have been immobilized, and stared there motionlessly.
The eldest princess of Yongping felt that she had been waiting for a long time, so long that she couldn't hold it with her concentration, and finally met the recently rumored Miss Feng.
"Your Highnessβ"
Before the female official could speak, the eldest princess of Yongping waved her hand and motioned for her to retreat.
The green gauze tent was blown by the wind, and the pavilion seemed to be quieter. Looking at the bystanders, the figures of the two were hazy.
"You asked Sister Ling to give that letter to the palace?"
The eldest princess asked straight to the point, and Feng Cheng replied directly: "Yes." β
The girl's plain shirt and red skirt are pure and dazzling, and if you have to evaluate a deficiency, it is a little pale.
Looking at the little girl who was as bright as the moon, the eldest princess suppressed her hanging heart and asked in a deep voice, "Does Miss Feng have something to say to the palace?" β
The girl lowered her eyes, and although her voice was not high, the words were clear: "The courtier seems to be ...... Know the whereabouts of the Lord of Yingyue-"
