Chapter Eighty-Eight: Crowding Out
Sheng Zi'an wore very ordinary, the last emperor's reward, there was a beautiful cloud brocade, Aoyagi asked Sheng Zi'an, is it to make this cloud brocade into clothes, the internal affairs office for the emperor this time to reward, it did take a lot of thought, just this cloud brocade, deliberately selected suitable for girls, bright goose yellow, and a touch of peach blossom pollen.
Looking at it under the sun, it is brilliant and beautiful, and it makes people feel distressed to even touch it with their hands.
But his wife just shook her head: "Let's put it up first, let's talk about it later." ”
Sheng Zi'an felt that during this time, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was too popular, and she was the fiancée of His Royal Highness the Prince, so at this time, she should not add fuel to this fire, and she should be more cautious and low-key, so as not to cause trouble to His Royal Highness.
Today, Sheng Zi'an is wearing a light blue dress, her eyes are dark, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her hair is combed into a bun, she looks a little delicate, her arms are slender, and she has a silver bracelet on her wrist.
The little princess was frightened by the last banquet and didn't want to go at all, but Prince Yimai in the post station felt that letting his sister attend more parties would make the emperor of the Central Plains feel that Xirong was more submissive, so he kept urging his sister to go.
The little princess insisted on going with Sheng Zi'an, and Sheng Zi'an looked at her frightened bird, a little funny, but also a little distressed.
At such a young age, the little princess should have grown up carefree in Xirong, she has a noble status, and no one can bully her.
But seeing so many sinister things in the capital, she almost lost her life, Sheng Zi'an patted her hand: "Don't worry, with me, I won't let you have any trouble." ”
The little princess leaned tightly on Sheng Zi'an's body: "If there is something, Zi'an, you have to save me!" The little princess looked a little sad.
"My eldest brother has been busy entertaining each other with people in the capital recently, my second brother originally didn't like these, I don't know what's wrong these days, I'm not in the post station all day long, my second brother has hurt me more than my eldest brother since I was a child, but he doesn't even have time to talk to me these days, I really don't know what's wrong with him?"
The little princess was a little sad: "I can talk in the capital now, only you are left!" ”
Although Sheng Zi'an didn't know the specific things about Xirong, he could also see that if the eldest prince of Xirong married the lord of Guide, then the next king of Xirong should be Prince Yimai, and Prince Bufeng could also compete, how could he be happy in his heart?
But Sheng Zi'an didn't want to say that to the little princess.
Sheng Zi'an once asked His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, is there any difference between the eldest prince of Xirong becoming the next king of Xirong and the second prince of Xirong becoming the king of Xirong?
His Royal Highness the Prince smiled, patted Sheng Zi'an's head and said: "Don't be frightened by this toss, in fact, no matter what happens to Xirong, it has no impact on the Central Plains, even if they have several kings at the same time, they have not shaken the Central Plains." ”
Sheng Zi'an then understood that the Central Plains is now like the Tang Dynasty he understands, the national strength is strong, and the surrounding small countries have come to worship, but basically no country dares to touch the Central Plains, so the strength of the Central Plains is well known.
Sheng Zi'an knew that time, and only then did he know what the position of the Central Plains was in the current situation.
When he arrived at the door of Liu's house, Sheng Zi'an looked at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, and didn't know what to think in his heart.
Aoyagi whispered on the side: "The Liu family has always been known for being honest, even if the emperor personally rewarded the house, their family still lives in the original place, this courtyard looks dilapidated, but it is pursued by many courtiers!" ”
Sheng Zi'an nodded, it was the first time I heard that there were such officials, and it was really strange that the emperor's reward was not needed.
Nowadays, whenever people get the emperor's reward, they can't wait for everyone to know that the emperor attaches great importance to themselves.
When I entered the courtyard, many young ladies had already come, and in the courtyard of Miss Liu's family, there were a few very elegant tables with tea and snacks on them, for everyone to taste.
When Sheng Zi'an and Wen Dona entered the courtyard, Sheng Zi'an felt that something was wrong......
It's not that Sheng Zi'an feels that his status is noble, or that he is too centered, but since he became the fiancée of His Royal Highness the Prince, he has become hot, and no matter where he goes, he is sought after.
Some people are because Sheng Zi'an himself is valued by the Queen Mother and the emperor, and some people are interested in the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince in front of the emperor, no matter which one it is, Sheng Zi'an has never been left out in the cold.
This time, the young lady of the Liu family warmly invited Sheng Zi'an to come over, but as soon as she entered the courtyard, several little girls who were sitting there chatting glanced at Sheng Zi'an, and then restrained the smiles on their faces, and even some people stood up and walked away from Sheng Zi'an.
looked like Sheng Zi'an was not clean, and even Wen Dona on the side felt it.
She looked at Sheng Zi'an puzzled, Sheng Zi'an patted her hand and signaled that she was okay.
Miss Liu Jia wore a moon-white dress, she was already thin, and she looked even weaker when she wore this color, but Miss Liu Jia didn't have such a good look, she had a somewhat snarky face, high cheekbones, and when she looked at people, she always inadvertently showed a trace of disdain.
She walked up to Sheng Zi'an and Wen Dona and looked at Wen Dona first.
"This is Her Royal Highness the little princess of Xirong, right?" With a reserved smile on her face, she wanted to pull the little princess's arm, but was dodged by Windona.
Miss Liu's movements stiffened for a moment, and then she pretended to be impassive and turned her gaze to Sheng Zi'an's body.
"Miss Sheng is really dazzling today! Let my yard shine! She raised her voice, followed by several incomprehensible laughs.
Sheng Zi'an just smiled, neither showing uneasiness nor discomfort, but now there, looking indifferent.
Aoyagi on the side is a little upset for his wife, these little girls are really ignorant, Mrs. is so glamorous, if Mrs. wears cloud brocade, you probably won't even be able to speak!
Sheng Zi'an has a good memory, and most of the people he has seen have an impression, so when he swept his eyes on these girls in the back, he probably knew that most of these girls who came today were the daughters of Yanguan!
"Miss Liu has won the award, and Sister Liu is only called elegant and refined today!" After Sheng Zi'an finished speaking, he also took a few more glances at Miss Liu's family.
The girl of the Liu family is nineteen years old this year, but she still hasn't decided on a family affair.
The Lord of the Liu family is favored by the emperor, but the official position is indeed a bit low, and the person is also a little pedantic, so the people in the capital, some of the people with high status look down on the Liu family, and those with low status, the Lord of the Liu family still can't look down on them.
I want to find a noble family for my daughter.
So the marriage of the young lady of the Liu family was delayed, and until now, no one has come to the Liu family to propose marriage.
Sheng Zi'an's sentence "sister" can be regarded as making Miss Liu a little annoyed and angry, I knew that this Sheng family girl was not a good one, but how could she be so humiliating as soon as we met?
She had long forgotten that she was the one who provoked first, and Sheng Zi'an was just responding to her behavior.
She didn't smile: "Miss Sheng is really overtalking, since you are here, come in and sit, I thought that the girl of the Sheng family would not come!" After all, I sent you three posts in a row, Miss Sheng is really a big face! ”
Sheng Zi'an just smiled but didn't respond, the table she sat on, the young ladies around her stood up and left, without words, this is to express her dislike for Sheng Zi'an with her actions, and even don't want to be with her.
Sheng Zi'an didn't know what these young ladies meant, but it didn't prevent Sheng Zi'an from sitting steadily, Wen Dona sat next to Sheng Zi'an, although she didn't understand what was going on, she could see that these people were trying to make Sheng Zi'an look ugly.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, sit here, come and try this dim sum, it is very famous in the Central Plains!"
A girl wanted to pull Wendona aside, but was dodged by the little princess:
"I'll just sit here." She said.
The girl was bored with herself, so she had to step aside.
The scene was a little embarrassing, those girls were talking and laughing together, and someone deliberately raised their voices, so that Sheng Zi'an could hear it, and felt uncomfortable, but Sheng Zi'an couldn't be embarrassed by such a small scene, but instead sat there, very leisurely, looking much more relaxed and calm than other girls.
Eventually, the girls couldn't sit still, and one of them started talking.
"The most important thing for us to be girls is not to shame the husband's family, I really don't understand, what do those who have already married someone and hook up with other men think?"
When she said this. Sheng Zi'an's brows furrowed, on this banquet, only one of them was not welcomed, so these words were naturally said to himself, but he really didn't understand this gun and stick.
When those girls saw Sheng Zi'an's reaction, they couldn't care about Sheng Zi'an's coldness.
A girl in a goose yellow shirt walked up to Sheng Zi'an, sat down, and asked with a gloating expression: "Miss Sheng, listen to the meaning of the second prince of Xirong, you once volunteered to go to Xirong to marry him?" Then you are really a role model for our women in Beijing! ”
After she finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter behind her, which made Sheng Zi'an feel a little bored.
Sheng Zi'an hates this kind of person who hides behind others, waiting to see jokes, but he has no ability, if you really want to fight, you will have a move, this kind of villain behavior, no wonder at this age, you haven't married yet......
Sheng Zi'an looked at Miss Liu's face, which looked even more mean because of her mocking smile, and thought so.
