263, by chance
When Sun Rouning heard this, she immediately raised her head and subconsciously glanced at Qiao Siwan, but the other party didn't seem to feel it, and listened with a slight smile.
Everyone was sad, and a lady said abruptly: "In this way, the princess is still the life-saving benefactor of the princess of the county." ”
Mu Hongxue only smiled: "Friends, don't trust Niangniang, if it weren't for the carriage of the Yan Wangfu passing through there, I would only be afraid of being shot by arrows, and what kind of life-saving grace would I talk about, I want to thank the princess of the county for her stability and saving me from fire and water." ”
Concubine Dong smiled: "The princess is so polite, we just happened to pass by, and this is also the ability of people who are destined to meet." Wan'er, did you say? ”
Qiao Siwan said with a smile: "What Niangniang said is that you are such a porridge princess, if it is not for her noble status, it is also possible to accept her as a righteous daughter." ”
Concubine Dong is precious and wears a crimson brocade dress, the color of the inlaid treasure is fine and soft, especially a red gold and heart hairpin on the bun, pearl jade, red gold brilliance, is even more noble, it seems that she is radiant and radiant. Hearing this, she smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, the princess is really kind-hearted, compassionate and gentle, I can't wait to keep her for the rest of my life." ”
The crowd laughed, and the air was very lively.
Mu Hongxue has the most sociable talent, although she did not stop in Dumen for a long time, she clearly investigated the situation of each family in advance, and knew everyone's expertise and hobbies best.
Qiao Siwan sat on the sidelines, admiring her ability. No wonder Mu Hongxue, such a woman, who can not love it?
At this time, a maid came to say that the banquet plan was opened, so everyone stood up.
In the courtyard, from north to south, the east and west are divided into banquet tables for relatives and noblewomen of close branches. The eldest princess was unwell and did not come in person, Lin Yuanxin was still recuperating from the second son who had just given birth to the prince, and she couldn't stand the wind, so she only sent someone to send gifts, Concubine Dong naturally sat at the main table, but she endured it for a long time and had to give up her seat to Mu Hongxue. It would be good if Lin Yuanxin came today, but it happened that Concubine Lan came with Yan Huarui, and when she saw that she was so tolerant, she showed a ridiculous look.
When Shi was in the flower hall, everyone noticed Yan Huarui standing behind Concubine Lan, but because of the presence of Princess Mingjun, she didn't intend to say anything, the truth Qiao Siwan is a famous vinegar jar, it just so happened that King Mingjun lost his mother since he was a child, and he rolled on the field, he was cold and hard-hearted, he was notoriously arrogant, but he was very kind and cherished to this princess of the county, and everyone knew that he had reached the realm of being regarded as a cronie. For this reason, he was jokingly called "afraid of his wife like a tiger" behind him, in this case, why did everyone risk the danger of being blamed by the princess of the county to talk to Yan Huarui, not only that, Sun Rouning also deliberately placed Yan Huarui at the farthest table.
When the banquet was about to start, I saw Jiang Chongjun enter, and he was at the mercy of two or three maid rings to support him. King Yan nodded, his face couldn't see the slightest difference, Qiao Siwan looked at it from a distance, knowing that although this prince was not moving, he had always been very concerned about the prince. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chongjun wanted to give a salute to the crown prince again.
The prince hurriedly left his seat and helped him, and said, "They are all their own brothers, why be so polite." If you are not feeling well, just send someone to say it, why bother to come in person. ”
A smile appeared on Jiang Chongjun's pale face: "My father's birthday, and the prince is here in person, how can I not come?" That being said, although he tried his best to make the appearance that he had recovered from his illness, he could not be deceived by his cunning steps.
Qiao Siwan knew that it was impossible for Jiang Chongjun to come to this banquet in a short period of time, because many people have been rumored recently that King Yan was planning to abolish his position as the prince and replace it with Jiang Chilai. Qiao Siwan didn't know what Jiang Chongjun thought, she just felt that it was gossip. What kind of character is Jiang Chi, how could he snatch the title of his own boss? The person who is making noise behind his back understands that he is slandering. - Jiang Chongjun, who has never been included in this kind of banquet, noticed it here, does it prove that he trusts it?
Jiang Chongjun nodded, and the nearby Yahuan hurriedly presented a jade to King Yan's eyes. The jade is watery, emerald green, and the discerning person will know at a glance that it is a costly old pit with fine glutinous greenery, and it is indeed a good thing that has not been encountered for thousands of years. This kind of thing is extremely valuable, it has a price and no market, for fear that Jiang Chongjun will not know how much he will spend on this. King Yan said: "Why work so hard? ”
Jiang Chongjun crooked to the side and coughed a few times, coughing until his face flushed differently, Fang Han said with a smile: "Father is the most porridge old jade, my son is not in good health, and he can't always serve by your side, this jade is a little affection of mine." ”
Before King Yan could speak, Jiang Chi smiled and gave up his position: "Boss, please attend." He clearly saw that Jiang Chongjun's legs were weakening.
Since the beginning of spring, Jiang Chongjun's illness has not improved, and after saying a few words, he is already out of breath and sweating profusely. The maids helped him sit down.
Qiao Siwan hadn't seen Jiang Chongjun for a long time, and when she saw him at this time, she only felt that his face was as pale as paper, the thinnest, and even the first-class brocade clothes on his body seemed to be overwhelmed, and he didn't look like King Yan who was healthy and healthy at all. Looking at Jiang Chi next to him, he was in a different sense. The two are both the sons of King Yan and born to the same mother, in comparison, King Mingjun acted decisively and indifferently, while Jiang Chongjun was an extremely weak person at a glance, and his body was so weak that he also needed someone to support him, and he couldn't say a few words and panted again and again.
I heard that Princess Yan is not in good health, could it be that one of these two followed her father and the other followed her mother?
The famous wine on the table is hot, the taste of the wild treasures, Jiang Chi usually drinks a degree, but today he is the master, and he has to cover up for Jiang Chongjun, who can't drink, after three rounds of drinking, someone came to his ear and said two words, he saw that everyone was in high spirits about the wine, and handed over the people on the side to report Qiao Siwan, he went to the study to stay for a while, saying that there was something. Qiao Siwan listened to Yahuan's report and smiled slightly. She had never seen Jiang Chi drunk, and he left at this time because she asked Helantu to drag him in the study, and she had important things to do.
Soon, Qiao Siwan also stood up and said to Mu Hongxue with a smile: "It's too hot here, I'll go freshen up and sober up." ”
Mu Hongxue nodded, and before she could speak, she was dragged to drink.
Qiao Siwan stood up, whispered a few words to Sun Rouning, and then took Yahuan to the closest buried pavilion to the wine banquet. There are all kinds of things in the small pavilion, which are specially used for the guests to change their clothes and sober up. When the maids saw Qiao Siwan entering, they hurriedly came forward to make tea.
Hongyu took the handkerchief, Qiao Siwan took the wet handkerchief and iced the icy feverish cheeks, Hongyu smiled: "Miss is the master, will there be any chaos when you leave the table like this?" ”
Qiao Siwan snorted lightly, "Where do you want me to go to the greetings?" Today's protagonist is Concubine Dong, her focus is Princess Xiangxue, we just need to sit and drink and listen to music. ”
Calamus smiled: "Today's young lady is too plain, and the suitable slave maid has heard that you are not as beautiful as Princess Xiangxue, if you are willing to dress up well, you will not lose much more than her!" ”
Qiao Siwan took a sip of tea and said: "It's better to be still than to be still, and being too showy may not be a merit." ”
Calamus smiled: "Miss, is this an intention to avoid short lengths?" ”
Qiao Siwan didn't speak. Hongyu said: "I don't understand when I speak, think about it with my brain, is Miss the kind of person who is afraid of things, Miss is just temporarily holding still, waiting for the other party to be negligent, and the ability to strike the west." Miss, do you say? ”
Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "That's a good word, Hongyu, guess what I'm going to do today?" ”
Hongyu smiled, "This ...... The slave couldn't have guessed. ”
By the time Qiao Siwan returned to the banquet, it was already dark. The red lanterns all around are reflected on the smiling faces, filling the festive atmosphere. The guests at the table were no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning, and began to sit together in threes and fours to talk about their own fun......
Qiao Siwan entered, which aroused people's special attention.
Mu Hongxue said with a smile: "Where did the princess of the county go to be lazy?" ”
Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "My lover has drunk too much temporarily, and his body is unwell, so he is resting in the pavilion at this time, and I will go to see him." ”
Concubine Dong, who was sitting in the first place, had a strange light flashing in her eyes: "Oh, are you drunk?" ”
Mu Hongxue covered her mouth and smiled: "This is the deep affection of the king of Mingjun and his wife, and they can't leave for a moment!" ”
When everyone heard this, they smiled and said, "That's that, people are really loved!" ”
The ladies sat close to each other these words naturally escaped their ears and temporarily agreed one after another qiao siwan said it seemed to be stained with rouge on her face and the most unbeautiful intentions. Calamus on the side said in her heart, there is not even a ghost shadow in the burying pavilion, why does the young lady say that the king of the county is sobering up over there?
At this time, only a slight commotion sounded on the table sitting by the door, and Qiao Siwan heard the voice of a young woman: "Who is working hard about placing the seats?" ”
The nearby Yahuan said with a smile: "It was placed by the princess in the morning!" ”
"Good!" Yan Huarui whispered a few words, but her friends couldn't hear them clearly, and then she moved forward and said coldly, "You help me invite the princess over, and say that I have something to find her!" ”
Yahuan's smile froze on her face, and there was a hint of panic in her expression, and she hurriedly answered "yes", and then ran to the main table in a hurry.
Zhou Zhilan frowned: "What is she doing here?" "If the prince had to bring this woman with him, she wouldn't want to go with her.
The girl came over cautiously and said, "Princess, that Miss Yan said, please help her change her status." ”
"Oh? What is the reason for this? Sun Rouning sank her face, the main table was full of very important guests, Yan Huarui was just a gift from Nanzhao, that's it, she still wanted to embarrass Qiao Siwan, Sun Rouning just didn't like her, so she deliberately placed her there, how could she bring her over?
Qiao Siwan looked at this scene, just smiled slightly, and did not speak.
Yahuan's face turned red, and she couldn't say a word for a long time, she was very afraid, but she still said the truth: "Miss Yan said that she is the prince's guest and should not sit at the bottom." ”
Qiao Siwan laughed, if it were ordinary, she would definitely sigh for Miss Yan's words, but at this time, she really said such things in front of Zhou Zhilan's eyes, wouldn't it make Zhou Zhilan embarrassed?
Zhou Zhilan sneered: "The prince's guest? When did the prince invite her? If you have to follow, you don't know what your intentions are, hum! You go and report her, there is no place for her here! ”
Hearing this, Sun Rouning nodded slowly, Yahuan came back quickly, I don't know what to say to Yan Huarui, the other party's face suddenly changed greatly, and the slap of the Yahuan was half a step behind, and knocked over the wine jug in the hand of a Yahuan on the back, and the wine jug flew out at once, and sprinkled it all on Yan Huarui's skirt, Yan Huarui quickly stood up.
