The carriage passed through the bustling street market, and it did not go fast, and the shouts of all kinds outside were endless, but the noise with the smoke could not be heard in the carriage.

Qin Ruhua was stunned by Bai Yanran's sudden words, and in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and a thought faintly surfaced.

She knew, she probably already knew.

But then, Qin Ruhua denied this idea by herself, whether it was him or Mrs. Tong, they would try their best to cover it up for her, Bai Yanran, a deep boudoir woman, would never know this.

After settling down, Qin Ruhua divided his mind and thought about how to refuse. She coughed twice before she could speak, and Mother Guan on the side said in a timely manner: "The princess doesn't know, my young lady is also the pearl of the family, although she can't compare to the princess and the daughter of an official family, but if the old lady is still there, she will never let the young lady commit to being a nameless concubine." ”

Qin Ruhua seemed to have been touched sadly when she heard this, and said with red eyes: "The concubine can see that the prince and the princess are in love and affection, and they are an enviable fairy couple. Although the concubine was relieved by Mrs. Tong, she was unwilling to be willing to be cheap, even though the prince was very good, he was not the concubine's beloved.

But the concubine can't be her own master, her younger brother is still young, she doesn't know the sinister hearts of people, and she is even more convinced of the old lady Tong, and she was coaxed into signing a deed with the Tong family. The old lady tried her best to let people go now. ”

Qin Ruhua burst into tears when she said this, and Su Xin and Zhu Ling on the side couldn't bear to hear it. They're all sold. As a slave girl, she naturally understands the misery of this.

Listening to Qin Ruhua's words, it was obvious that she was forced into the palace as a concubine by Mrs. Tong. And she has been keeping to herself since she entered the palace, and she stood on the side of the princess against Tong Ruoyao, which naturally made the two girls can't help but let down their guard.

Su Xin squirmed her lips and wanted to say something, but she remembered the consequences of talking too much, so she closed her mouth and said no more. Zhu Ling saw that Guan's mother was crying a lot at her age, so she handed over a handkerchief and comforted her.

Bai Yanran watched coldly and did not speak again.

Tong Ruoyao finally pulled back a game, and she was naturally proud. In Concubine Shu's Xiuchun. The palace sat down until the palace gate was about to give the key before being sent back.

This afternoon was naturally not a dry sitting, the two sisters said a lot of things, and Concubine Shu had to give advice for her sister. Tong Ruoyao couldn't help but frustrate Bai Yanran's sharpness now, and she got her sister's guidance again, and she was so unhappy.

happened to run into Si Yaju's girl when she returned to the courtyard, and Tong Ruoyao saw that the girl was still holding something in her hand, so she glanced at Hanjin. Hanjin stopped in front of the girl and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

When the girl saw that it was Hanjin and Tong Ruoyao, she shrank and wanted to burrow into the soil, and Nuo Nuo replied: "This is a special order from the princess to ask the kitchen to make up for our aunt's body." ”

Tong Ruoyao smiled: "This is really a coincidence, I have been talking to my sister for a long time, and I am really hungry at this time, so this is not ready-made." ”

Hanjin willingly snatched the tray from the girl's hand, but the girl didn't dare to reach out to grab it, and said hurriedly: "Aunt Tong, this can't be helped, this is ordered by the princess, and our aunt is waiting to use it." ”

Tong Ruoyao sank her face and snorted coldly: "What? Your aunt can eat, and I can't eat it? It's really a little family, and then let the kitchen do it, what a big deal. If your aunt has the courage to go to the princess to complain, I am not afraid. ”

After saying that, Tong Ruoyao took Hanjin and left, and the girl had no choice but to go back to Siyaju. Entering the room, Guan's mother couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her coming back empty-handed, and asked, "But the kitchen has been delayed and hasn't been done yet?" ”

The girl shook her head, and had to bite the bullet and say, "The princess specially instructed that the kitchen should not be careful, and it has already been prepared." It's just that the slave ran into Aunt Tong on the way back, and Hanjin snatched the things without saying anything.

The slave maid said that it was specially ordered by the princess to give it to our aunt, but Aunt Tong didn't take it seriously at all, and said that he was not afraid even if he made trouble with the princess. Otherwise, the slave will go and let the kitchen be redone, and the aunt will wait a while. ”

The girl looked at Qin Ruhua's face while talking, Qin Ruhua coughed twice with a handkerchief, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Forget it, it's just a little food, it's time for the kitchen to turn off the fire and rest, don't bother, you can go down and rest." ”

The girl sighed in her heart that Aunt Qin had a good temperament, so she withdrew. When the people left, Guan's mother, who had been silent, sneered: "Tong Ruoyao is proud now, it's good that you don't compete with her." Left and right are just a stupid woman with shallow eyelids, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Qin Ruhua took away the handkerchief and said sarcastically: "You are wrong, she is also Concubine Shu's sister, and the queen's mother personally ordered into the palace, it is always of some use." ”

Guan's mother will understand and say no more.

The prince's mansion set up a banquet, only saying that it was a spring feast. Because it was the first time that the crown princess had held a banquet, and she also raised her face, she sent posts to all the houses in Beijing that had close relations with each other.

Princess Changping was worried about Gu Yueyao's marriage, and this year's Spring Festival banquet in Houfu was not held, but the prince borrowed his name. It is said that it is a spring banquet, the ladies set up a banquet in the pavilion to see the scenery, and the adults gather in the hall to eat and drink, but in fact, it is to practice for Ma Yan.

Nanrong's courtship was originally a natural thing, but it has been delayed until now because of a fake "Splendid Mountains and Rivers". Ma Yan had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to make trouble, so he only asked to see him every day, and he moved the emperor with a three-inch tongue.

Now that the emperor has finally revealed the news, the court will announce the matter tomorrow morning, Ma Yan will return to Nanrong immediately after getting the letter, and Nanrong will come to welcome the delegation after making some preparations.

The marriage between the two countries is not a child's play, and Ma Yan has spent a lot of money on courtship these days. Because "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" was revealed, it took a lot of effort to do what was originally logical, but fortunately, it was fortunate not to be dishonored.

Emperor Yuanhe brushed his sleeves away on the spot at the dust washing banquet because of the fake "Splendid Mountains and Rivers", and then closed the door to Ma Yan. Ma Yan was so anxious that he made a military order to the regent before he left Nanrong, which was not a joke.

Later, he was desperate and bribed his father-in-law beside Emperor Yuanhe, and only then did someone show him a clear way. Ma Yan went to the prince's mansion to pay a visit, and explained that the prince reintroduced Emperor Yuanhe and promised many benefits, which finally relieved Emperor Yuanhe.

Now that it has been done, the prince specially set up a banquet to send him off. Ma Yan was grateful, and his wish came true, so he was naturally full of interest, and had a good time drinking with the prince and several courtiers.

After three rounds of drinking, many people during the banquet were not strong enough to drink, Ma Yan excused himself to not drink too much on the return trip tomorrow, and Ji Chengyu was no one who dared to pour wine, and the two became the most sober during the banquet.

Ji Chengyu asked Xu Quan to ask someone to take all the adults down to sober up, and only he and Ma Yan were left on the table. Although Ma Yan repeatedly shirked, he still drank a lot, but he drank a lot of alcohol, and although he drank with a red face, he was not drunk.

The banquet was deserted, Ji Chengyu personally poured two glasses of wine, Ma Yancheng was busy picking it up in fear, and said in his mouth: "His Royal Highness the Prince, how can this be done!" ”

Ji Chengyu looked solemn, raised his glass and said: "This glass of wine is a tribute to you, the marriage between Li and Rong, the princess is for the people of the two countries to marry other countries and relatives, I am a meritorious minister of Dali, and also a meritorious hero of your Rongguo."

This king is the crown prince, so he promotes peace, but this king is also a brother, so he can't rest assured. Today, the king entrusts the royal sister to you, and I hope you will take care of it in Nanrong, and the king is grateful. ”

Ma Yan was frightened, then moved, and saluted: "Although Ma Yan is not a righteous gentleman, he will live up to the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The men's banquet at the back ended, and the women's banquet at the front was in full swing.

The prince's mansion held a banquet, and Qi Simin naturally did not forget Bai Yanran. It was the first time she had handled this kind of scene, and she asked Bai Yanran to guide her early in the morning, and she finally put everything in place after a busy morning.

The prince's mansion held a banquet, and it was the first time that the crown princess appeared. The ladies who took the post were all full of energy, and they came to the banquet with flowers and branches, and among them was the third lady Tong who was not on good terms with Bai Yanran.

With Ji Chengyu's attitude towards the Tong family, Mrs. Tong originally couldn't get the post. But now Tong Wenguang has been reused by Ji Chengyu, and today Ji Chengyu set up a private banquet for Ma Yan to practice, and the people invited are all close to him, and Tong Wenguang is naturally on the list.

The post did not say that Mrs. Tong was invited, but Mrs. Tong was not far behind, so she insisted on following. Tong Wenguang was not good at disobeying his mother, so he had no choice but to take him to the banquet.

Qi Simin had a headache when she saw Mrs. Tong's side, knowing that she was not a good person, so she specially set her seat far away, not next to Bai Yanran, but Mrs. Tong was obviously prepared.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, Ji Chengyu didn't send stickers to Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Mrs. Yu Xiang, most of the people who came today were friends with the Tong family, and the Xu family was naturally among them.

Seeing the Xu family, Bai Yanran remembered her mother Qi's family. It's also been a lot of things lately, especially since Tong Ruoyao and Qin Ruhua entered the house, she hasn't been able to find time and mind to go home and have a look.

Qi Simin was busy all morning and forgot about it, and only remembered it when he saw his mother Xu, and whispered to Bai Yanran: "I asked Xile to send a post to my aunt, and Xile said that it was Mother Zou who saw her, saying that the ancient tomb has been sick recently, and it is inconvenient to come to the banquet." Do you know this? ”

Bai Yanran's heart sank when she heard this, and she shook her head. Mother is a very strong person, especially this is the first time Qi Simin has held a banquet after getting married, if it weren't for the seriousness of her illness, she would definitely not refuse.

Bai Yanran remembered her mother's pale face when she went home last time, and her heart felt cold. Could it be that my mother has not been well since then, and has been delaying it until now?

However, even if he was anxious at this time, he could not leave the table. She turned her head to find Xu, wanting to go to her aunt to ask about the situation. Mother and aunt are the most compatible, maybe they know something.

Bai Yanran panicked, maybe something hit her side, and then she was splashed with wine. There was a commotion around, and Qi Simin hurriedly pulled Bai Yanran to look at it, but fortunately, the clothes were not too wet.

The girl who hit someone was newly recruited from the prince's mansion, and the first time she saw this kind of scene, she was already timid, and Bai Yanran didn't pay attention, so she was so frightened that she apologized for her sins at this time.

Bai Yanran still had the heart to think about these at this time, and waved her hand to signal the girl to go down. The girl was so anxious that tears fell, and when she heard the words as if she had been pardoned, she was about to get up, but she heard a voice interject from the side.

"The crown princess is not strict, and the subordinates collide with the distinguished guests and ignore them, this is not in accordance with the rules, right?"

It was Mrs. Tong San who spoke out, and she was wearing a little jade on her head that was rewarded by the queen. Jeweled hairpins. Although she said it to Qi Simin, her eyes looked at Bai Yanran.

Seeing Bai Yanran looking over, she continued with ill intentions: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished, don't say that it is the girl in the prince's mansion, that is, Princess An, don't you still have to be punished by the queen to kneel?" ”
