Lan Yuanxin looked at the scene in front of her, her face was red and white, and the good mood she had been looking forward to for many days suddenly became invalid.

However, what made people even more uncomfortable was that she still had to salute that woman, which made her freeze in place like a fish in her throat. If it weren't for her mother's incessant staring, she would have wanted to turn a blind eye.

"The courtiers have seen the prince and the princess."

"The courtiers have seen the prince and the princess."

Lan Yuanxin relied on the fact that she was the daughter of the Lan family, the granddaughter of the old lady Lan, and she was so arrogant in front of all the young ladies in Beijing, even Gu Yueyao, the county lord, did not take it seriously.

Now he wants to give a salute to a small family who looks down on him, but he only feels that he has been greatly wronged, and he looks at Ji Lingyun with a pair of eyes full of autumn water.

Unexpectedly, Ji Lingyun didn't look at her, only bowed slightly, and then entered the waiting house with Bai Yanran. Lan Yuanxin was embarrassed and embarrassed, only to feel that there were mocking eyes on all sides, and she was ashamed and angry for a while.

Especially when she raised her eyes, a girl beside Bai Yanran dared to laugh at herself. Especially the girl gave birth to a charming fox appearance, which made Lan Yuanxin, who had always regarded herself very highly, secretly grit her teeth.

At this moment, I saw two familiar carriages driving side by side, and Mrs. Lan hurriedly pulled Lan Yuanxin aside. Lan Yuanxin pursed her lips, raised her chin slightly and touched the newly beaten hairpin on her head, with a look of concern on her face.

When the carriage stopped, I saw the frosty Prime Minister's wife wearing Zuo Jinyun in a gorgeous brocade, and the arrogant Mrs. Yu coming up with Yu Shanshan, who had heavy makeup.

Prime Minister Zuo and Mrs. Yu fought openly and secretly in the court, and Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Yu naturally couldn't get warm.

The same husband is in a high position in the court, and his wife is naturally the object of the Miss Jingzhong wife, and there is inevitably a secret contest between the two women.

Mrs. Zuo doesn't look down on Mrs. Yu is continuation, and Yu Qilin and Yu Shanshan have never taken her seriously. Mrs. Yu ridiculed Mrs. Zuo as a toothless paper tiger, and the concubines and concubines in the family were in charge.

However, although Mrs. Lan is only a member of the Lan family, she is good friends with these two important ladies in Beijing.

Mrs. Yu has always called Mrs. Lan a teacher, and Mrs. Yu gave her a little thin noodles for Mrs. Lan's sake. Prime Minister Zuo and Lan Wenming are both the emperor's right-hand men, and Mrs. Zuo is a little more affectionate than others because of this affection.

Mrs. Lan is a smart person, and she has always lowered her figure in front of these two ladies, and at this moment, she immediately pulled her daughter forward with a smile and saluted.

Mrs. Zuo only bowed her head slightly, still with a cold face. Mrs. Lan didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said affectionately: "I haven't seen the eldest lady for a few days, why didn't the lady bring the eldest lady to the banquet?" ”

Mrs. Zuo mentioned that her daughter's expression was relieved, and she replied: "You also know that Weiyu has always disliked such noisy scenes. ”

Mrs. Lan immediately smiled and said: "This is also true, otherwise this capital is full of ladies, how can Miss Weiyu win the reputation of the first talented woman, naturally it is not my Xin'er girl who loves to play around, this is the real lady."

is still a good daughter taught by my wife, and I am ashamed of this. ”

Mrs. Zuo was happy, she looked at Yu Shanshan behind Mrs. Yu again, and covered her lips with a contemptuous look and smiled: "Miss Yu is really dazzling in such a dress today, look at this complexion is different, she is definitely the most eye-catching young lady at today's Wing Chun banquet." ”

Yu Shanshan painted a miserable white dead face as usual today, painted bright red lipstick, wore an old-fashioned emerald dress, and her head was full of beads as if she didn't need money, and she couldn't wait to pile up the entire makeup box.

It's really hard to describe her dress, but Shanshan doesn't know it.

As soon as Mrs. Lan said this, everyone burst into laughter, and this laughter was naturally full of mockery. Only Yu Shanshan raised her head more and more arrogantly, obviously very useful for such praise.

Mrs. Yu didn't laugh, but only threw an appreciative look at Mrs. Lan. Zuo Jinyun, who was originally unhappy because he was left out, also laughed, and exchanged a knowing look with Lan Yuanxin, all of them looked like they were waiting to see a good show.

With Mrs. Lan in the middle, the two ladies also respect each other like guests. The three of them led the three young ladies behind them and the girls into the door together. The ladies had their own circle, and after greeting each other before and after, they went together.

Before Princess Anle arrived, and the banquet had not yet begun, the three of them chose a clean place and stood in front of the flowers to enjoy the flowers and gossip.

Mrs. Zuo opened her mouth first, and said casually: "Miss Lan has also reached the age of marriage, and I heard that the emperor intends to marry Miss Lan to Lord Shangshu Tong of the Ministry of Industry in order to marry the two Lan Tong families, then I have to congratulate Mrs. Lan in advance." ”

A trace of discomfort flashed on Mrs. Lan's face, and then she smiled implicitly: "Mrs. Prime Minister's news is well-informed, but the matter has not yet been decided. That Tong Jiaerlang is already a scholar at a young age, and whether such young talents have a fate with my family Xin'er is still a matter of two words. ”

Mrs. Yu also said lightly: "The news has spread all over Beijing, if the emperor doesn't have this plan, he will never let the news circulate, and now it seems that nine times out of ten it is true." ”

Mrs. Lan smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, and said with joy: "Then it is borrowed from Mrs. Yu's auspicious words, if it is true, it is still stained with the blessings of the two nobles." ”

Mrs. Zuo suddenly said: "It's just that I don't know why the emperor suddenly thought of this marriage, I see that the Tong family and your Lan family have not been close to each other over the years, doesn't the emperor want to make a big deal out of it?" ”

This is to the point, the emperor has always been taboo for courtiers to get too close. The Tong family is especially afraid of several suppressions, so that except for one Tong Wenguang in the Tong family over the years, there is no real person available in the court. 596

And the Lan family has become the emperor's cronies because of Lan Wenming over the years. Now that the emperor suddenly gave the Lan Tong family a marriage, he saw that he had changed the policy of tenderness to the Tong family, but he didn't know what the idea was in secret.

Those present were all wise people, and they could hear the meaning of these words as soon as they passed through their ears. Seeing that no one answered, Mrs. Zuo simply looked at Mrs. Yu and asked, "I wonder if Mrs. Yu heard any news?" ”

Mrs. Yu glanced lukewarmly, and said with Tai Chi: "Prime Minister Zuo has always been the emperor's minister of the humerus, how can I know the news that you don't know." ”

Mrs. Zuo is not easy to dismiss, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Yu is too modest, and Mrs. Yu is the real minister, how can she have nothing to say about the news from the DPRK and China." ”

Mrs. Yu smiled faintly, and suddenly changed her head and said meaningfully: "I heard that the emperor ordered Bachelor Song to restore some precious ancient books in the Hanlin Academy, so Bachelor Song has been busy lately, so he simply eats and lives in the library of the Hanlin Academy, and even the position of the household department has to be temporarily shelved." ”

Mrs. Lan immediately understood, and said tentatively: "I heard that the household servant is already old and unbearable, so isn't there no one in charge of the household department?" It seems that in a few days, His Royal Highness King Jian will be able to reinstate himself and take charge of the household department. ”

She said to look at Mrs. Zuo's expression, Prime Minister Zuo is the emperor's confidant, and some time ago, he publicly showed favor to King Jian at the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, so he should have received some orders from the emperor.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zuo only didn't hear it when she heard it, and she didn't refute it, which is equivalent to acquiescing in the credibility of this news.

If this is the case, then the emperor suddenly married the daughter of the Lan family to the Tong family's sons at this time, which is a bit abnormal.

The emperor has always been very partial to Concubine Lan and King Jian, and some time ago, King Jian's catastrophe was also covered up, and in the end, it was just a small punishment and a big commandment, and he thought about it behind closed doors.

The annihilation of the smoke of the previous ceremony caused panic among the people, and I heard that the prince was scolded by the emperor afterwards. Then Concubine Lan attended the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and Zuo Xiang suddenly made public gestures to King Jian.

Does all this mean that the emperor is really going to start paving the way for the establishment of the king?

Having said that, they can't go any deeper, and the three of them don't say anything and just do flower appreciation, but in fact, they each have ghosts in their hearts.

The three ladies talked about the situation between the DPRK and China, but the topics among the ladies were mostly beaded jewelry. Whenever this is mentioned, Yu Shanshan's dress is naturally the highlight.

A group of young ladies praised and belittled Yu Shanshan, and there was a burst of silver bell laughter, but they were all hidden needles, which made people feel terrible.

Zuo Jinyun looked at the precious jewelry on Yu Shanshan's head, jealous and disdainful, and Lan Yuanxin almost had the same thoughts.

The two of them have a concubine and a side room, both of them are not as prominent as Yu Shanshan's birth, and the only thing that can be compared is that they think they are outstanding and proud.

Thinking of this, Lan Yuanxin happened to see Bai Yanran not far away and Shu Yue behind her, so she gloated and pointed it to Zuo Jinyun.

"That Bai Yanran is really a stupid guy from a small family, taking such a restless thing with her all day long, I'm afraid that she will climb into the master's bed at some point, and she will cry when the time comes."

Zuo Jinyun was also very surprised when he saw it, and after coming back to his senses, he sneered: "Sister is really good-looking, that's really a restless little."

At the beginning, my indisputable brother and Zuo Gongzi hooked me upside down, and fought for her in public. Now that he has entered King An's Mansion again, this ambition and skill should not be underestimated. ”

Lan Yuanxin was stunned and said, "You said that girl is that Miaoyin lady?" ”

Zuo Jinyun said contemptuously: "What kind of wonderful sound lady, it was originally the music Ji who came out of the land of fireworks, I'm afraid that the piano skill is secondary, and the ability to entangle men is a good hand." ”

Lan Yuanxin's eyes rolled, she looked at Yu Shanshan, who was proudly independent on the side, and said with a smile to Zuo Jinyun: "In that case, we might as well call Miss Yu and be kind enough to wake up?" ”

Zuo Jinyun also sneered and nodded, obviously wanting to watch a good show, so he turned around and went to point out with Yu Shanshan. Yu Shanshan was extremely disgusted with Shu Yue, and now that she saw that she had become a girl next to Bai Yanran, she was obviously a ghost, and after thinking about it, it was really over.

"The courtiers have seen Princess An."

Bai Yanran had already noticed that Zuo Jinyun and Lan Yuanxin who were not far away looked at this and pointed, but they didn't want Yu Shanshan to come over first. Looking at her makeup, I know more about this young lady at home.

"Miss Yu is polite."

Yu Shanshan didn't know how to speak for a while, and turned her head to see that Zuo Jinyun and Lan Yuanxin, who had proposed first, had not yet followed, so she had to stare at Shu Yue and say stubbornly: "I wonder if the princess knows the origin of this girl behind you?" ”

Bai Yanran never thought that she would be so straightforward, so she also said bluntly: "Miss Yu is talking about Shu Yue? When she was in Liuxiangju, she took off her veil, and I knew that she was the Miaoyin lady who was famous in Beijing. ”

Yu Shanshan was stunned and said in disbelief: "Since you know what she did, you still keep her by your side?" ”

Bai Yanran glanced at Shu Yue, who had an ugly face, and said helplessly to Yu Shanshan: "Speaking of which, Shu Yue also has some relationship with the palace, a few days ago she came to cry, saying that she had some misunderstandings with Miss Yu and Miss Zuo, so she was made difficult everywhere, and she was forced to come to take refuge in desperation, and I didn't want to take in." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Yanran smiled at the corner of her lips, looked at Shu Yue, whose face was like earth, and said with a smile: "Shu Yue, it just so happens that Miss Yu and Miss Zuo are here today, since there is a misunderstanding between you, you might as well take this opportunity to make it clear." Just to return your innocence, you don't have to commit yourself to being a subordinate in the palace. ”
