The spring breeze banquet of the Xu family and the lotus banquet on the palace of Princess Yongchang are one of the grand events that everyone in the circle of noblewomen in the capital wants to go to the banquet, and it is also because the status of these two families is noble, and the guests invited are either the clear stream of the past or the noble prince, so it has become a good place for the noble lady in Beijing to choose a daughter-in-law or son-in-law.

This year is no exception.

On the day of the Shangsi Festival, the capital originally had the custom of giving willows, although the daughters of these princes and princes could not be the same as the flat-headed people outside, and they would go up directly to send a willow branch to see which girl was pleasing to the eye, but once there was a suitable object, it became a practice to give the girls a willow branch.

It's all custom anyway, and even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's nothing.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Shizi met with the mothers-in-law who were in charge of today's affairs in the council room, and asked everyone to take errands to go down on errands, so that they had time to eat breakfast.

Just after breakfast, someone over there came to report that my aunt and grandmother were back.

Hearing that it was the sister-in-law who came, Mrs. Shizi raised her eyebrows, and when someone came, she stepped forward and took Mrs. Qian's hand affectionately and smiled: "I was thinking about when you would come, my mother has been talking to you for a few days, saying that Ah Rong is back, and you don't know if you let her come over to see her grandmother, she is panicked!" ”

Qian Rong has now become the companion of the six princesses, and the relationship with the six princesses is good, this time out of the palace, but also received a reward, and there are also gifts in the palace on March 3, which can be described as a spring breeze.

Even with the second lady of Qian with a smile on her face, seeing her sister-in-law say this, she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law said this is wronging me, it is really a few days ago that the aunt and grandmother of the family came back, and they met again after a long absence, the old lady was very happy, and she was accompanied by Ah Rong, so she couldn't come home. ”

Mrs. Shizi is just talking.

She smiled and shook her head, seeing Qian Rong smiling and saluting herself, her complexion couldn't help but change slightly------ the people who have been to the palace as companions are really different, and now Qian Rong's appearance is simply different from the impetuous appearance before.

If there was no previous enmity with Zhu Yuan, her daughter would still be able to enter the palace to accompany Princess Jing'an, who was the most favored by the saint.

And if Princess Jing'an hadn't gone to pray for blessings if she didn't deal with Zhu Yuan, her daughter wouldn't have to wait at home so unembarrassed, but let her second-class cousin compete for the lead.

The smile on Mrs. Shizi's face faded without a trace.

Qian Rong didn't care about her aunt's attitude, after all, her aunt had always treated her so lightly, and she wasn't particularly close, but she cared more about the people next to her, and after entering her grandmother's yard to ask for peace, she sat next to her grandmother and asked her, "I heard that Zhu Yuan was invited today?" ”

She glanced at her cousin Xu You, who was sitting on the side as a wooden man, with some concern, and she didn't understand what the Xu family was trying to do, so she whispered, "Grandmother ......."

Mrs. Xu snorted, laughed when she saw her asking, and said, "Yes, you are all in the palace together, and it should be common to get it from time to time, this time you can be regarded as half a master, but you have to greet Miss Zhu for your grandmother, don't let people be left out in the cold." ”

Qian Rong breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this time the Xu family didn't want to get along with Zhu Yuan, but should mend the relationship with Zhu Yuan, so he subconsciously felt a little more at ease.

Xu You raised his eyes and glanced at her, and waited until a lady almost began to come to the door with the little girl outside, and then went out with Qian Rong, and said softly: "I haven't congratulated Ah Rong that you are now by the side of the sixth princess, it's really mine." ”

Qian Rong has always respected this cousin very much, since she can remember, she has taken her cousin as the object of her worship, her cousin is the daughter of the prince of the country, the real daughter of the princess, but the appearance is superior, the temperament is gentle and well-behaved, and a casual shop can also be opened.

She had thought that her cousin should have always been the one on the clouds.

But it turned out that it wasn't, my cousin turned out to be just an ordinary person, and there was a day when she couldn't fight people, and she also had a lot of dark thoughts in private.

She had heard about her second cousin from her mother, and she knew in her heart that this was the sequelae of her cousin's design of the Zhu family, so she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

My cousin once used her to deal with Zhu Yuan, causing her to lose a lot of people.

But in the end......

She lowered her tone, shook her head and said, "My cousin knows about me, if it weren't for my mother and father...... It's not my turn......"

The expression on Xu You's face was a little faint, and when he heard her say this, he laughed: "Don't say that, Ah Rong, you were originally a very good girl, you must be cautious in your words and deeds when you enter the palace, and accompany the sixth princess to grow up, don't learn from me......"

It was rare for her to lower her figure, Qian Rong was a little at a loss, she couldn't see her lowering her posture like this, and hurriedly said, "Sister You, it's not like this, you ...... Don't go against that Zhu Yuan in the future, she has this temper, whoever provokes her, she will have to double it back, but as long as you don't provoke her, she is not a bad person......"

Xu You sighed in his heart.

In just over a month, what did Zhu Yuan do to Qian Rong so that Qian Rong, a person with eyes above the top, could say such things?

She scoffed.

But he didn't say anything in the end, just sighed and responded with a melancholy face, and gathered his spirit to entertain the girls who came to the banquet.

These are all things that Xu You is good at.

Which family's noble girl is not in harmony with the other little ladies, which family's girls can't eat white jade square cakes, which family's girls can't eat salty snacks, she knows the same.

Even Qian Rong, who had been with the sixth princess in the palace for a period of time, couldn't help but admire in her heart when she saw that she had arranged everything in such detail.

No wonder my mother said that my cousin was too arrogant, and once she saw it clearly, she should not be underestimated.

That's right, after all, my cousin was carefully raised by the Guogong Mansion for more than ten years.

Thinking so, she suddenly heard someone sigh and asked with disdain: "Why is there a little girl who has a face?" Who is she? ”

Everyone followed her gaze, and sure enough, they saw a girl who was coming down from the arched bridge, as if listening to what the little girl next to her was saying, and they couldn't help but exchange meaningful glances.

I heard that this year's Spring Breeze Banquet of the Guogong Mansion has changed the style of previous years, and it has also invited the county lord of Huining, whose name has not yet been decided, which turned out to be true.

All of a sudden, many of the little girls couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper.

Qian Rong watched Zhu Yuan get off the arch bridge far away, and couldn't help but sweat for Zhu Yuan, these little girls are all genuine noblewomen, and they won't have any good looks for Zhu Yuan.
