Spring flowers are delicate, celebrities and gentlemen are romantic, and this banquet in the capital is the time when it reaches its highest heat.

During the banquet, I don't know which lady happened to mention the birthday of the Queen Mother, and when it came to the possibility of a princess and a relative, the atmosphere went to the next level, and they all discussed it with great interest.

"But if we marry a princess over there, do we have to marry a princess here?" Mrs. Liu Yushi's mind turned, and suddenly she asked.

Mrs. Chao nodded her teacup and said, "It should be so, but the princess I am now of the right age is only Princess Yongyi." "The others are either married a long time ago, or they haven't married yet.

"Princess Yongyi is deeply favored by the concubine and the emperor, I am afraid that she is reluctant to marry into the land of Fanbang......" A certain lady Hou who has a noble daughter in the family frowned, and said in a tactful voice: "It's not without precedent, a certain young lady in the clan is named a county lord to marry Beidi and Xiliang." ”

But among the heirs of this generation of the royal family, there is no daughter, and then it will be the turn of the high-ranking marquis, as long as the emperor sees the candidate, he will directly give him a title, and then the holy decree will come, and he will have to go if he does not go to the relatives, who is called it for the peace and Chang'an of the Zhao.

So, several wives who have daughters at home put down their teacups and snacks, and after saving their thoughts, the food is not fragrant.

The atmosphere was a little sluggish for a while, Lin Yuanxiu lost the melon seed shell in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today is a birthday banquet for the princess, the princess is not ordinary, she hasn't come out yet, we'll see how the princess is stunning later." ”

It is said that the princess should not be discussed on this occasion, in the end, it is the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family, but Lin Yuanxiu's words also made everyone suddenly wake up, saying that it was a banquet, who doesn't know what this banquet is going to do, what to talk about and kissing the princess and the like, that is a big disrespect, women are not allowed to talk about political affairs, even if they really choose one person from the nobles of the capital, they can only think carefully at home, and what is it to get it to the public.

"No wonder Mrs. Chu is proud, we have all heard about the deeds of Little Master Chu, it is difficult for him to finally make up his mind, Mrs. Chu will rest assured." Mrs. Liu Yushi said with a smile.

Lin Yuanxiu raised her eyebrows and said with a hearty smile: "That idea is full of rumors and rumors in the city, you deliberately used it to bury me, right?" ”

Mrs. Liu Yushi covered her lips and smiled, and everyone laughed again about the children's family affairs, and they all shouted about their own unsuccessful weapons, but in the flying eyebrows, there was no pride in any of their eyes.

In the midst of all the laughter, only Mrs. Shen's mother and daughter sat in the corner and looked slightly silent, and with the laughter around her, Shen Xing held Mrs. Shen's arm and said softly: "Mother doesn't have to be sad, the eldest sister is unwell, and she didn't mean to make her mother uncomfortable." ”

"Xing'er is a good boy." Mrs. Shen sighed, reached out and touched the top of Shen Xing's head, her eyes still showing sadness: "I didn't know that the child was wronged...... It's just ...... "She doesn't know what's wrong, the more she thinks about her daughter's suffering, the more unwilling she is to face it, and after a long time, she doesn't even dare to see each other."

Shen Xing smiled slightly: "Mother has Xing'er, unless my mother doesn't want Xing'er, otherwise Xing'er will stay by my mother's side and serve my mother for the rest of her life." ”

A little relief appeared on Mrs. Shen's face, and her hand moved down from it and covered Shen Xing's face, "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about." ”

After drinking two cups of tea, Xiao Hongmei and Lin Yuanxiu walked out of the pavilion and walked around for a while, and happened to meet Mrs. Chao who was sitting next to her basking in the sun.

After a few words of gossip, he saw Mrs. Shen's mother and daughter standing in a pavilion in the distance, and there seemed to be a person who looked like a little girl beside her, Lin Yuanxiu pouted, and said with a smile: "There are really a lot of things in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion today, and Mrs. Shen was the last one to arrive just now." ”

Mrs. Chao held a chrysanthemum show fan in her hand, waved it twice, glanced at it again, and sighed: "There is a sick daughter at home, and it is difficult for Mrs. Shen." ”

"That's your kindness, I heard that Mrs. Shen didn't care about that biological one, but ......" Lin Yuanxiu raised his chin to that head: "Oh, every day I take a concubine born to an aunt to jump around." ”

Mrs. Chao and Lin Yuanxiu have also known each other for many years, and they are used to her surprising words, so she patted her with a group fan and said: "Look at what you said, but the second young lady of the Shen family is well-behaved and obedient, but she is a lovely one, but it is a pity that the eldest lady of the Shen family is extremely intelligent and clear when she sees her when she is a child, and she is ...... compared to it" Mrs. Chao was stunned, and seemed to feel that it was not good to compare the two young ladies rashly, so she smiled and said, "I just saw that the cuckoo on the other side is blooming well, let's talk while walking." ”

The three of them were side by side, Xiao Hongmei retracted her gaze and said, "Mrs. Shen's temperament is a little soft." ”

"When she was not out of the cabinet before, she was known for being gentle and virtuous." Mrs. Chao lowered her head to avoid a peach blossom branch stretched out, and said with a smile: "But the prince of Zhongyong Hou is not a vulgar and reckless man, the two Qin Se and Ming complement each other very well, if you want me to say, it is also Mrs. Shen's life, but Fan Zhongyong Hou Shizi has a little bit of that idea, and welcomed a powerful concubine into the door, do you say that there will be another favorite concubine to kill his wife." ”

"I didn't spoil my concubine and kill my wife, but I saw it." Lin Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows, flicked a flamboyant red kapok with his fingers, and said sideways: "What's the matter, what's wrong with the Zhongyong Marquis's family?" ”56

Counting up, Mrs. Chao is rare to be close to the Shen family, and they often get together when they are still girls' families, so they can still say a few words of self-consideration, listening to Lin Yuanxiu asked, Mrs. Chao looked around, and saw that there was no one next to her, so she lowered her voice and said with a slight sigh: "The sick eldest lady of the Shen family came out to make a fuss, and actually rushed out of the courtyard behind, no way, and asked Mrs. Shen to tie it up and send it back to the room. It's like crazy. ”

Lin Yuanxiu's eyes widened and looked at Xiao Hongmei: "Crazy? ”

"Why don't you call the Imperial Doctor to see it, and only lock it up in the backyard?" Xiao Hongmei's focus is here.

Mrs. Chao pressed her brows, and the three of them sat on a bench with their backs against a large field of rhododendrons, and Mrs. Chao turned her head to the two and said: "I have seen a lot of imperial doctors before, but they are not good, and they are getting more and more serious, Mrs. Shen is not very interested in inviting imperial doctors, and I don't know who I heard from them, I have fallen into some witchcraft, I am missing a soul and a soul, and it is not something that ordinary medicine can do, so I have to be locked in the backyard and wait for the opportunity to come to the door." ”

"I don't think Miss Shen is crazy, it's the Shen family who is crazy." The corners of Lin Yuanxiu's mouth twitched, with a look of contempt on her face, and she said with disdain: "What kind of sin did Miss Shen do to be able to be such a mother." ”

Xiao Hongmei's eyebrows flew and said: "This kind of family matter, we are not the people in the matter, it is better not to talk about right and wrong, who knows the difficulties of other people's families." ”

Mrs. Chao nodded and said, "I met Miss Shen once, it's really like missing a soul, people are like puppets, they can't move, don't blame Mrs. Shen, it seems that there is no way to do this." ”

"Meimei, let me ask you, you didn't accompany your daughter when she was sick, but left her in the backyard out of sight?" Lin Yuanxiu put his hand on the back of the bench, and watched sideways as the mother and daughter in the pavilion descended the steps and disappeared into a purple bamboo forest behind them.

Xiao Hongmei's eyes lowered slightly, and she slowly shook her head and said, "Born with a heavy responsibility for upbringing. ”

Lin Yuanxiu spread his hands - look, it's still Mrs. Shen's problem.

Mrs. Chao waved her fan, and said with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth: "Speaking of which, it is still the two of you who have a good life, love husband and wife, harmonious family, and only gave birth to a son, and they are both productive and productive, where can there be so many bad things." ”

"Come less, just our stinky boy, I can't wait to stuff it back in three days." As soon as Lin Yuanxiu spoke, the other two bent down and laughed.

After talking for a while, Lin Yuanxiu's eyes flashed with a figure, and she grabbed it accurately, "Is that the crown princess?" ”

Xiao Hongmei and Mrs. Chao both raised their eyes and looked over: "Yes, it's the crown princess, this direction is ......" The princess passed under the corridor next to her, and directly crossed this end, as if she was going to the backyard.

"The crown princess has appeared in front of everyone for the first time since she had a miscarriage." Mrs. Chao's fan fluttered on her chest and said thoughtfully.

Lin Yuanxiu bumped Xiao Hongmei with his shoulder, and blinked with a teasing look in his eyes - do you see, another one is not really here to attend the banquet.

In the backyard of Duanwang's Mansion, the room belonging to the princess was full of messes and had been cleaned up, Qimei re-served Liu Siyi and changed his clothes, looking at the bronze mirror with a stunned expression, like an unconscious Liu Siyi, when Qimei lowered his head, he quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The eyebrow pencil swept over the eyebrows, and the chess eyebrows painted Liu Siyi with a more colorful makeup than just now, with a full head of vermilion, which was particularly extravagant, but it lacked the aura of the original when she was waiting to be married.

"Qimei, am I so good-looking?" Liu Siyi's dull gaze moved, and he suddenly asked.

Qimei choked in his throat, and quickly nodded: "Good looking, miss...... The princess is the best-looking. ”

"Hehe......" The corners of Liu Siyi's mouth hooked, and the two laughs that made him feel worried when he heard Qi Mei, "It's good to spend a hundred days, what's the use of looking good." ”

Qimei grabbed the comb and combed it to the end, listening to Liu Siyi's words, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Miss, the matter has come to this, you should think about the future, you still have a long way to go, you can't give up on yourself." ”

Liu Siyi's eyes like dead fish finally moved, and he slowly turned his head, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "Give up on yourself? Why should I give up on myself......"

"That's good, that's good." Qimei said this in her mouth, but why did the young lady's expression look so terrible, as if something was going to happen.
