It's a pity that the fifth lady of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion was temporarily ordered, and she didn't pay much attention to the specific banquets at home in the past few days, in case she was mistaken, with Miss Wang's status, she would not let the Xiangyang Hou Mansion hold a banquet for her and plug this loophole.

The matter of inviting people can only be abandoned.

The fifth lady of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion left the Yongcheng Hou Mansion with some regret.

When I returned home, as a junior, the first thing I did when I came back was of course to greet my elders.

When she arrived at the main courtyard where Mrs. Xiangyang Hou lived, Mrs. Xiangyang Hou was discussing with Mrs. Xiangyang Hou about entering the palace to ask the queen for peace, and the fifth lady waited in the hall for a while. As a result, she met the second aunt who went to the Jin Wuwei Left Army to command the Shi family to come back to greet Mrs. Tai, she smiled and gave the second aunt a salute, and was about to ask a few words about the scene of the Shi family, Mrs. Tai heard the maid next to her say that the second aunt was back, so she invited the second aunt into the house to talk, and asked the fifth lady to wait.

This is because I feel that the affairs of the Shi family are more important than those of Wang Xi.

The fifth lady was used to this kind of treatment, drinking tea leisurely, and waited until the second aunt came out, and Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou agreed on entering the palace, and then called her to reply.

She was not exaggerating, and told Mrs. Tai everything she saw and heard.

Mrs. Tai was very surprised, and she didn't speak for a long time holding the teacup.

Miss Fifth had no choice but to remind Mrs. Tai: "Didn't Bo Mingyue say that he refused to marry because Miss Wang was in love with Chen's second son?" Could it be that Miss Wang is standing behind Chen Ergongzi? ”

"Impossible!" Mrs. Tai subconsciously retorted, but when the words came out, she felt that it was not impossible, and when she looked up and saw the suspicion flashing in the eyes of the fifth lady, she couldn't help but say: "Let the Shi family give in, the second son really has this strength." However, if the eldest princess just wanted to find a beautiful daughter-in-law, the second son would have already made a marriage. Even if there is such a thing, it can only be granted by them privately, and it cannot be put on the stage. ”

The fifth lady felt that what Mrs. Tai said made sense, and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

"First of all, I will respect you not far away." Mrs. Tai muttered, "I'm afraid that the second son plans to help Miss Wang be a matchmaker." ”

Miss Five understood.

No matter how good the relationship between Chen Luo and Wang Xi is, it can't compete with the eldest princess or the emperor's arrangement, if Chen Luo really likes Wang Xi, when the two of them are in love, they accept Wang Xi as a concubine or raise her outside to be an outer room, and that's it for this life, it doesn't matter if the Xiangyang Hou Mansion ignores her. I'm afraid that Chen Luo will read this love and come forward to marry Wang Xi to the children of which family as his wife, maybe he will have a child and raise it in someone else's name, that is the real feeling, whether it is Wang Xi or the child, it can affect Chen Luo's decision, if Wang Xi's child is more promising, he may even have a mixed background.

This is the way things are in the world, the mountains do not turn around. If this is really the case, who can guarantee that the Marquis of Xiangyang will not ask for the time in front of Wang Xi?

This is not without precedent.

Like Mrs. Jiang Chuan, according to rumors, she was once the confidante of the first emperor.

The fifth lady smiled: "Then the banquet of the Qingping Marquis Mansion, am I going to go?" ”

She hopes that before she leaves the cabinet, her family can arrange for her to only deal with Wang Xi a few times, so that she doesn't have to be like a flower butterfly to entertain this today and that tomorrow.

If it weren't for the fact that people who didn't have the ability to socialize in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion had a hard time, she would rather hide at home every day and not go out, embroider flowers, and raise grass.

Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "Then you can go!" ”

Miss Wang agreed, and said a few words with Mrs. Tai as usual before getting up to leave.

The lady of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was talking to Mama Shi about Wang Xi at this time.

"Although there were few people at her banquet, she was thoughtful and thoughtful, and several young ladies were very highly evaluated." Mama Shi whispered about the news she heard, "The second lady of the Qingping Marquis Mansion also invited Miss Biao to be a guest at home. On the contrary, it was Miss Shi who heard that she went to the palace and sat for a long time before waiting for Princess Fuyang, and she was sent out of the palace after saying a few words. Miss Shi may feel that her face is dull, so she took Miss San to the embroidery workshop on the other side of Dashilar to shop, bought a few pieces of skin, and said that she would make a few forehead handkerchiefs and send them to Yulin, so she would come back so late. “

Mrs. Tai frowned and said, "Is it because of the queen's mother?" ”

In this dynasty, the queen will hold a court meeting on the first and fifteenth days of every month. But since the first emperor abolished two queens in a row, this routine has been broken. When Queen Bo took the phoenix seal, although she wanted to recover again, the emperor felt that there was no need for this, so he changed it to meet with the foreign wife in Kunning Palace on the first day of every month.

But this month, the queen mother canceled the court meeting because of her ill health.

You must know that the inner palace concubine Niangniang favors the six palaces alone, and Queen Bo has never broken the court meeting in order to show her existence, rain or shine.

Everyone inevitably has a lot of speculation about the queen's illness, like the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, they will directly post to visit the palace.

Mrs. Yongcheng felt that Princess Fuyang had sent Shi Zhu away in a hurry, and she must be in a hurry to serve the queen. She said, "Should we also go into the palace to have a look?" ”

Mama Shi hurriedly said, "You should definitely go and see it!" ”

It's just that there was such a thing in the past, Mrs. Hou of Yongcheng made an appointment with Mrs. Hou of Xiangyang, but now that there is a gap between the two families, it is not good to be together.

It's just that Mrs. Tai is a kind of muddy character, thinking that Wang Xi's banquet and the five ladies of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion are here, and the Xiangyang Hou Mansion must want to get back together with the Yongcheng Hou Mansion. He also said: "Shall we ask when the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang will enter the palace?" ”

Mama Shi didn't know what to say.

The matter of entering the palace must be discussed with Mrs. Hou. But the Xiangyang Hou Mansion just sent a granddaughter over, did they still have to send a lady over to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?

That's too cheap.

However, she knew that this kind of thing was not clear to Mrs. Hou, so she simply smiled: "Then I'll go and talk to Mrs. Hou." ”

She believed that Mrs. Hou would definitely not want to have a relationship with the Hou Mansion of Xiangyang again, and if she refused, Mrs. Hou would tell Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai really didn't ask any more questions, and Mama Shi hurriedly changed the topic and talked about the banquet in the Qingping Marquis Mansion.

Wang Xi was here, and it took two days to contact Chen Luo.

Chen Luo was not hypocritical, and called back to the person she sent, saying that she would wait for him at night, and he would visit her when he was free.

Wang Xi thought that he must have just come back from a business trip, and there were still many things to deal with, but he was not anxious, he fanned slowly, sorted out the banquet that day in his heart, and thought about what he said when he saw Chen Luo, so he waited until the lanterns under the eaves of various parts of the house were hung, and there was no news from Chen Luo's side.

"Something can't be stumbling, is it?" Wang Xi muttered in her heart, and waited for almost an hour, long past the hour when she washed, and there was a faint sound of beating outside the courtyard gate, but she still didn't wait for Chen Luo.

She had no choice but to give up and go freshen up first.

Who knows when she was washed, holding her head in a cloak, hesitating whether to dry her hair in the yard or twist her hair in the hugging building, but the window was thumped by small pebbles.

It was not windy or rainy, and no matter how accurate the stone was, it would not be possible to hit her window lattice.

Wang Xi's intuition was that Chen Luo was coming.

She immediately asked Bai Zhi to open the window, and in a panic called the little maid to twist her hair.

Sure enough, Chen Luo's voice came from outside, and he said, "It's okay! I'll just say a few words to your young lady and leave. ”

His voice looked tired, as if there was no way to hide it.

So tired?

Originally, Wang Xi felt that Chen Luo treated her too casually, and didn't treat her as a girl at all - girls shouldn't dress up well when they see someone, but when she heard his voice, she felt that he didn't treat her as a girl, originally they were partners, if they paid too much attention to the difference between men and women, it would definitely be inconvenient to cooperate.

It's like doing business, girls pay too much attention to their gender, and there is no way to grab goods like boys, sleep in the same style, and make money by selling goods from the south to the north.

She was quickly relieved, grabbed the handkerchief wrapped around her head and walked out, and said, "Why did you come here at this time?" Is something wrong? ”

Chen Luo is glamorous and beautiful at all times.

Listening to the voice is so tired, but I can't see it at all.

On such a hot day, he still wears a bright red woven gold troll, and the white undershirt is dusty under the lamp, clean and shiny, but he is not as handsome as Guanyu, and he can't see the slightest tiredness, or even the sweaty face.

She suddenly said jealously: "Did you just come back from the palace?" ”

Only when the face is saintly, it is a crime to be untidy, so you need such a careful dress, right?

"Hmm!" Chen Luo said, the color of exhaustion became stronger.

Wang Xi felt that he shouldn't be so stingy, and hurriedly pointed to the stone table and stool under the grape trellis in the courtyard: "Sit down and talk!" He also told Baizhu a few: "Go and serve a bowl of sour plum soup and bring a few fans." ”

Baizhu responded and left, not only brought the chilled sour plum soup, took a few handfuls of pu fans, but also brought a few pots of ice and put them around Chen Luo.

Chen Luo drank the cold but sweet but not greasy sour plum soup, felt the cool breeze blowing on his face, and felt not only happy, but also felt the long-lost comfort.

Why didn't he have such an understanding servant around him?

Wang Xi is living a little more comfortable this little life, right?!

But he didn't say anything, and the glimmer of envy that flashed in his heart was ignored by his eagerness.

He said: "I just went to Tianjin Wei, and when I came back, I heard that you were looking for me, and I happened to have something to tell you, so I came over the wall." ”

Wang Xi was embarrassed.

He is also the first to say that he is so bold about going over the wall!

Chen Luo saw her thoughts, and said disapprerovingly: "What is this?" When I was seven or eight years old, I often climbed the courtyard wall of the Yongcheng Marquis' Mansion, and the courtyard wall of their house was like walking on the ground for me. ”

But people still surround the yard in the end.

This kind of thing is really anti-gentleman, not villain!

Wang Xi felt that if she bothered with him, she wouldn't want to sleep tonight, so she simply left these behind and asked him directly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

She was thinking in her heart, in just a few days, Chen Luo went to Tianjin Wei twice, what happened over there?
