Chapter 631: A Good Life Makes People Jealous
Although Princess Shen was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face, and she talked and laughed with the Queen Mother.
The other wives in the temple had some thoughts in their hearts.
It is said that Lin Ruan's identity is not ordinary now, and the Queen Mother should be happy that Xiao Jingchen married Lin Ruan, why not mention it now?
Doesn't the Queen Mother want Xiao Jingchen to marry Lin Ruan?
That should be, the Queen Mother is famous for loving Prince Xiao, if the Queen Mother had no opinion on Lin Ruan, she would have given the two a marriage a long time ago, and she didn't mention it at this point, it can only show that the Queen Mother didn't like Lin Ruan at all.
Does this mean that there is still hope for their daughters?
Suddenly, the eyes of the women in the hall lit up a little. Some daughters looked at Lin Ruan's eyes and unconsciously carried a bit of a hint of waiting to see a joke.
After all, the matter between Xiao Jingchen and Lin Ruan is already an open secret in Kyoto, and Lin Ruan has been labeled as Xiao Wangfu, if Lin Ruan can't marry Xiao Wangfu in the end, it will really become the biggest joke in Kyoto.
And I'm afraid that no one will dare to marry in the future, after all, who would dare to touch Prince Xiao's woman?
Lin Ruan didn't have to look to see what these people were thinking, and she didn't care about what these people were thinking, she sat in her seat lightly and drank tea leisurely.
While chatting with Princess Shen, the Queen Mother observed Lin Ruan's demeanor, and sighed in her heart, just this calm appearance has thrown off the daughters in this hall I don't know how far.
She no longer resisted Xiao Jingchen's desire to marry Lin Ruan, but who knew that the emperor would have other ideas.
She doesn't know how to decide about this marriage now, so she can only pretend that she doesn't know anything.
Just when everyone was thinking differently, an internal announcement came from outside the door: "Lord Xiao has arrived." ”
Suddenly, all the daughters in the hall sat up straight and sat in a posture that best showed their manners. The wives all glanced back at their daughters and curled the corners of their mouths with great satisfaction.
Xiao Jingchen entered the hall dressed in black, and walked to the queen mother without squinting and saluted: "My grandson has seen the emperor's grandmother." ”
After the Queen Mother told him to get up, he turned around and saluted Princess Shen: "The younger generation has seen Princess Shenjun." ”
Princess Shen said politely: "How dare the old body accept the courtesy of the prince." ”
Xiao Jingchen stood up straight and said very respectfully: "You should be able to bear it." ”
When Princess Shen saw him like this, her heart was relieved.
And the women and daughters in the hall secretly tightened their hands, Xiao Wangye's grade is higher than that of Shen Junwang, before Xiao Wangye saluted Princess Shen at the Shen family's confession banquet, but now he also salutes in front of the Queen Mother, this is specially to make Lin Ruan's face in front of the Queen Mother.
This Lin Ruan is really so good that people are jealous.
Xiao Jingchen didn't care what others thought, after saying a few words to the Queen Mother, he turned his head to look at Lin Ruan, and then withdrew from the main hall.
In the end, the queen mother and the emperor have not yet given marriage, and he is not good to do too much, otherwise it is easy to cause the queen mother to be dissatisfied.
A smile flashed in Lin Ruan's eyes, and then he lowered his head and drank tea.
The Queen Mother's heart was a little complicated, she could see that Xiao Jingchen was already patiently waiting for the palace to make an order, and if it dragged on, she was afraid that he would ask for a marriage by himself.
He was willing to wait because he respected her grandmother and the emperor's uncle, and he didn't want others to say that they didn't care enough about their nephew (grandson).
But this purpose, she is really not good now. Although she is the queen mother and the emperor's mother, she also has to take into account the emperor's considerations and face.
So this matter can only continue to drag on.
The Queen Mother was irritable, but her face was not obvious, and she still talked to Princess Shen as usual.
The ladies in the hall were even more confused. So what does the Queen Mother mean? Does this agree with Lin Ruan, or do you disagree? Can't you give a quasi-word?
The feast begins at nightfall.
Because of the need to meet with the envoys, the officials who came to the palace banquet tonight are of very high grade, starting from the second grade, the royal family also has to see what kind of level it is, and the people of the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion who can't even keep their titles are not qualified to participate, but the three princes don't know what to do, and they arranged people in.
The seating arrangement is also very interesting, and the Shen family's table is next to the Gu family.
After the palace people led the Shen family to find a place to sit, Gu Xin'er came over cheekily and saluted the Shen family excitedly, "The little girl has seen the princess of the county, the princess, and the wives of the two generals. ”
The ladies in the main hall are all looking at this side.
Princess Shen looked at Gu Xin'er's behavior completely different from before, and her mood was very complicated. Although she knew in her heart that when the Gu family asked Gu Xin'er to replace Lin Ruan, Gu Xin'er was still young and couldn't be the master at all, and the person she wanted to hate was the Gu family, not Gu Xin'er.
But a few days ago, after the people who were sent out to inquire about Lin Ruan's past came back, she really understood what kind of life her granddaughter had lived in the past ten years, and when she looked at Gu Xin'er again, she really couldn't be generous.
So he answered lightly and stopped talking.
Second Lady Gu and Third Lady Gu saw Gu Xin'er for the first time, but they looked at it with a little curiosity, but they didn't mean to speak.
The scene was a little stiff for a while.
The Tong family had hated Gu Xin'er for a long time, and now they don't want to see her. It's just that so many people are watching in this hall, and their Shen family is such a status, it's really not suitable to worry about a little girl.
So she, like Princess Shen, picked her lips lightly: "I haven't seen Miss Gu for many days, but I am a lot more sensible." ”
Gu Xin'er blessed her body: "Xin'er was ignorant before, and she caused a lot of trouble for the princess of the county and the princess, and Xin'er is here to make amends to you." ”
The Tong family didn't like it even more, their Shen family didn't want anyone to mention this matter at all, "You don't have to mention the past, Miss Gu, the palace banquet is about to start, you can sit back first." ”
Gu Xin'er glanced at Lin Ruan with a blank look.
Tong raised his eyebrows: "What else is going on?" ”
Gu Xin'er looked embarrassed to speak.
Lin Ruan said: "Uncle, I promised Xin'er before to sit with her. She and I will sit here and not disturb the peace of my aunt and grandmother. ”
Although she didn't know why Lin Ruan agreed to Gu Xin'er's request, she was very relieved of Lin Ruan, so she nodded, "Then you guys sit down first, let's start quickly." ”
Gu Man and Gu Ru saw that Gu Xin'er was not deflated on the Shen family's side, but successfully mixed up on the Shen family's table, and their hearts were jealous and sour. At the same time, he felt that Lin Ruan was really stupid, and he would be so good to an imposter who replaced him.
Lin Ruan glanced at a few tables of the Gu family lightly, this Gu family is really magical, on such an important occasion, he actually brought two concubines, and he was not afraid that those two straw bales would collide with a noble person in the palace again, and then cause trouble to the Gu family.
