Chapter 91: The Eldest Princess of Zhaoyang
I didn't expect Shen Nianzhen to be so understanding.
Rong Chen glanced at her unexpectedly.
The situation waited for no one, he didn't have time to comfort Shen Nianzhen anymore, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, then let go, turned around and quickly went downstairs with Nanfeng.
Shen Nianzhen was shocked, and when he raised his head, there was no longer Rong Chen's shadow in front of him.
Shen Nianzhu, who had been standing in front of the window as an invisible person, suddenly spoke: "Big sister, should we go back to the house now, or continue to watch?" β
Shen Nianzhen didn't have the heart to continue playing, and nodded when he heard the words: "Go home." β
The two of them were about to go out, but suddenly saw Liao Yulan's maid Jinping walking in from outside, and saluted: "Miss Shen, Miss Four, our young lady invites you to sit in our box, I don't know if it's ......."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Nianzhen smiled: "Okay, let's go over here." β
Jinping looked very happy, and immediately led them to another box on the third floor.
Wangjiang Tower is quite big, there are a lot of boxes on the third floor alone, and I met a lot of young women and their families with veils along the way.
"This is it." Jinping smiled and led the Shen Nianzhen sisters to the door of a box, and was about to step forward and knock on the door, when a slender figure walked by at the end of the corridor, and when he looked at it, it was Liao Zhongwen, the third son of Liao.
"Oops! Third son, why are you here! β
Jinping was surprised: "Aren't you supposed to study at home?" How to ......"
Liao Zhongwen glanced at Shen Nianzhen with a pair of clear eyes, quickly took it back, and said indifferently when he heard the words: "Today, March 3, if you are allowed to come, I will not be allowed to come?" β
After speaking, he nodded politely at Shen Nianzhen, turned around and went downstairs lightly.
Jinping explained embarrassedly: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, when the slave maid just came to invite you, the third prince was ......not there."
"It's okay, this Wangjiang Tower is not opened by my family, anyone can come, it's nothing." Shen Nian smiled good-naturedly.
"Sister Shen!" The Liao Yulan sisters in the box heard the voice, and when they saw Shen Nianzhen immediately smiling, they immediately stepped forward with a smile, and hugged them into the box, Liao Kanglan said mischievously: "As soon as I saw His Royal Highness the Second Prince leaving, I immediately asked Jinping to invite you, and sure enough, you came!" β
Shen Nianzhen smiled and said, "I saw you downstairs just now, and today your Liao family ......"
"Miss Shen." A crisp female voice interrupted her.
Shen Nianzhen turned around in surprise, and saw Liao Shulan, the eighth lady of the Liao family, wearing a pale pink narrow-sleeved skirt, walking in from outside, with a sweet smile on her face: "It's good that you're here too." β
"Sister Shulan." The smile on Shen Nianzhen's face suddenly faded, and he politely bowed to Liao Shulan, which could be regarded as a return gift.
Then everyone took their seats.
"Miss, the slave maid just saw at the door, Miss Liao Ba met His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Picturesque took advantage of the gap between handing tea and quietly leaned into Shen Nianzhen's ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear.
Shen Nianzhen immediately raised her eyes to look at Liao Shulan, but saw that she was talking to Liao Kanglan with her head down, with a smile on her face.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." She said indifferently.
When the words fell, there were bursts of cheers downstairs, as well as the coaxing of everyone, Shen Nianzhen looked at it, it turned out that Su Yunmu was on the scene. He was dressed in a blue satin riding suit, neatly dressed, with dark hair and shining eyes, and just standing there caused many little girls upstairs to scream.
Even Liao Shulan said with great interest: "The second son of Su Taishi's Mansion, but the champion of this year's pot throwing, with him on the field, this feast on March 3 is worth seeing." β
"yes, yes." This caused Liao Kanglan to nod non-stop.
"Miss Shen, what do you think?" Liao Shulan suddenly turned her head and looked at Shen Nianzhen with a smile.
Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly and said, "Second Prince Su's pot throwing skills have been heard, and I heard that his level is very good. That's a nice point.
"He's just a loser!" Liao Kanglan said disappreliantly.
Liao Shulan suddenly snorted coldly: "It's like I've lost to you." β
Liao Kanglan was not angry, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "He lost to my master." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Nianzhu, who was sitting on the side: "Master, did you say it?" β
Shen Nianzhu was being an invisible person, and she was named by her, and she was suddenly a little at a loss.
"Master, that day at my house, you just defeated Su Yunmu, you say!" Liao Kanglan was a little anxious.
"I was lucky."
Shen Nianzhu said a little uncomfortably.
"Luck is also a victory." Liao Kanglan was suddenly proud.
Liao Shulan pursed her lips and didn't say any more, glancing at her contemptuously.
Shen Nianzhen was on the side, quietly watching all these situations in his eyes, but he pursed his lips and drank tea, not mixing. After everyone said a few words, a few more people came up downstairs.
There was a sudden silence upstairs and downstairs, and all the noise seemed to have stopped.
Shen Nianzhen immediately lowered his head, and saw a group of gorgeously dressed people, accompanied by a group of attendants, slowly entered the Wangjiang Tower, led by a woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a light purple veil, and a shining nine phoenix bead hairpin on her head, which was very dazzling.
Nine phoenix hairpins? That's the jewelry that only the mother of the dynasty is qualified to wear!
Shen Nianzhen was slightly surprised, and when she was curious about the identity of the woman, she heard Liao Yulan's lowered voice on the side: "Sister Shen, look!" It's Princess Zhaoyang! I didn't expect that on March 3 this year, she actually came! What a surprise! β
Princess Zhaoyang?
It's not the first time Shen Nianzhen has heard this name.
The first time I heard it from Rong Chen's mouth, at that time he said that Princess Zhaoyang was the person he admired the most in his life.
"It turns out that this is Princess Zhaoyang......" she muttered to herself.
"Look, Princess Zhaohua is here too." Liao Kanglan said suddenly.
Shen Nianzhen followed her line of sight, and sure enough, she saw that the arrogant and domineering Princess Zhaohua also came, dressed in a fiery red riding costume, and followed Princess Zhaoyang in a heroic manner.
It's just that her light is completely covered, and with Princess Zhaoyang here, who will look at her more?
Shen Nianzhen only glanced at it, and then looked at Princess Zhaoyang again, his face full of curiosity.
But at this moment, Princess Zhaoyang suddenly raised her head and glanced upstairs, and the pair of very beautiful phoenix eyes were sparkling, which made people amazed at first sight.
Shen Nianzhen watched Princess Zhaoyang go upstairs in a daze, and then watched her enter the box next door.
It took a while downstairs before it started to get lively.
"Bang bang bang!" But at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Liao Kanglan immediately jumped up and walked over and opened the door.
Princess Zhaohua walked in from outside with a sneer, staring straight at Shen Nianzhen who was sitting in the box, and said mockingly: "Miss Shen is also there?" On weekdays, you and my second brother can't be separated from Meng, Meng is not defocused, why are you alone here today? β
Shen Nianzhen knew that she was taking revenge for the resentment of being accused by Rong Chen in the Shen family that day, and when she heard this, she immediately stood up and saluted with a calm face: "Nianzhen has seen the princess, the princess Jin'an." β
"Humph! Excuse me, seeing you, this princess is a great blessing, but I'm afraid it will be gone. Princess Zhaohua sneered coldly, stared at Shen Nianzhen condescendingly and asked, "What about your eldest brother?" Are you here alone today? β
"My eldest brother is busy with official business, so he didn't come today." Shen Nianzhen hurriedly replied.
Princess Zhaohua already knew the news, and before she arrived at Wangjiang Tower, she had already sent someone to find out the situation here, otherwise how could she go straight here to find Shen Nianzhen's stubble as soon as she came upstairs?
Of course, if Rong Chen hadn't left, she wouldn't have dared to come here to show off her might.
"Shen Nianzhen, you are going to marry my second brother soon, you must have met my aunt yet, right? Let's go, this palace will lead you to see you! Princess Zhaohua sneered, stepped forward and grabbed Shen Nianzhen's hand, pulled her and walked out.
"Princess! No! β
The Liao Yulan sisters in the room were already stunned and hurriedly rushed forward, but Princess Zhaohua's eyes widened, who would dare to stop her fierce and vicious appearance? I could only watch Shen Nianzhen being pulled away by her.
"Princess, let go of your hand, I'll go with you." Shen Nianzhen said helplessly: "What kind of system is this pulling and pulling!" β
As soon as the words fell, Princess Zhaohua let go of her hand without warning.
Shen Nianzhen suddenly fell towards the railing on the side because of the effect of inertia. Fortunately, she was prepared and grabbed the pillar on the side early, so as to avoid falling and making a fool of herself.
Princess Zhaohua snorted contemptuously, and immediately raised her feet and walked forward.
Shen Nian really calmed down and raised his heels.
In his heart, he was racking his brains to think of a way, how to deal with this Zhaoyang princess later, Rong Chen admired her so much, presumably this princess should be different from the arrogant Zhaohua princess, right?
I met a lot of young ladies along the way, and when they saw Shen Nianzhen following behind Princess Zhaohua, they all looked sideways and cast surprised glances.
Finally, they stopped at the door of a box.
Princess Zhaohua turned around, glanced at Shen Nianzhen with a gloating gaze, immediately reached out and pushed the door open, and pushed her in with a smile: "Auntie! Look who's coming! She is the fiancΓ©e of the second brother, Miss Shen! β
Shen Nianzhen was pushed by her and almost fell, but she struggled to grab the door to stand firm.
For Princess Zhaohua, who always wanted to make her ugly, she was very helpless, but she heard a low and pleasant female voice in her ears: "Zhaohua, you are playing tricks again, spare Miss Shen!" β
"Yes, Auntie."
Zhaohua respected his aunt very much, and immediately stopped when he heard the words.
Only then did Shen Nianzhen see the situation in the house clearly.
The room is decorated with antique, the silver beast incense burner on the table is wafting a faint, very good smell, next to a pineapple table of eight immortals, there is a woman wearing a dark purple embroidered magnolia placket, a white face like a silver plate, there is a pair of dazzling phoenix eyes, just a faint glance over, it makes people have a sense of awe.
It turns out that this is the Royal Fengyi!
Shen Nian's heart jumped suddenly, she tried to stabilize her mind, stepped forward and curtsied: "Nianzhen has seen the eldest princess of Zhaoyang. β
"You're the girl the second child has a crush on? Raise your head and take a look. β
Princess Chaoyang was in a good mood and said with a smile when she heard the words.
Shen Nianzhen raised his head as he said.
"Sure enough, she is a beauty, and she has a good personality." Princess Zhaoyang looked at her for a moment, smiled faintly, patted the seat next to her and said, "Come and sit." β
Shen Nianzhen answered, slowly walked over and sat down obediently.
Princess Zhaohua said, "Auntie, if there is nothing to do, I will go outside first?" β
When Zhaoyang Gong heard this, he didn't reply, but said lightly: "Go ahead." β
Princess Zhaohua immediately glanced at Shen Nianzhen gloatingly, and in response, she happily turned around and went out.
Only he was left to face the princess, and Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But at this moment, Princess Zhaoyang slowly spoke: "You don't have to be nervous, since you worked tirelessly to personally ask the doctor to treat Concubine Qi, this palace knows that you are different from Su Muwan, this time I called you over, just to talk simply, nothing happened." β
As he spoke, he smiled slightly.
Shen Nianzhen suddenly felt like a spring breeze.
The princess smiled kindly......
"Back to the princess, it's just a handy effort, it's nothing." Shen Nianzhen hurriedly said: "Actually, the courtier's face had a terrible rash at that time, and she also wanted to ask a doctor to treat her......
Princess Zhaoyang looked at her with more and more kind eyes.
"You're good, the second one remembers it." She stretched out her hand and patted Shen Nianzhen on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This time you came here, didn't the second child accompany you?" β
"Accompanied, it's just that he just had something to do and left first." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly and said, "It's good for me to stay here by myself and play with my friends." β
"It's rare, he left you first, and you weren't angry." Princess Zhaohua said with some surprise.
"His Highness said he had something."
Shen Nianzhen blinked his eyes and said, "Of course I can't delay him." β
Princess Zhaoyang immediately smiled: "Since I met today, I will be free in the future, and I will often go to the princess's mansion to sit." β
When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he stood up and saluted respectfully: "In this way, I won't disturb Her Royal Highness the princess too much." β
With that, he turned and stepped back.
When he got out of the box, Shen Nianzhen let out a long breath.
Today's Wangjianglou and his entourage, it is really that every acquaintance has seen it once, and he also met a noble person like the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, which can be described as unexpected.
When she returned to the box, she saw the three sisters of the Liao family with a beaming face, Liao Kanglan pulled her over with a smile as soon as she saw Shen Nianzhen, and handed her a few ingots of silver that were extremely colorful: "This is the bet you made just now, and the second son of Su won!" I earned back 200 taels of silver! β
This was really an unexpected joy, Shen Nianzhen took the silver and thanked him.
It was past noon, Shen Nianzhen felt a little hungry in her belly, and Liao Yulan said thoughtfully: "Sister Shen, I just ordered some food, wait for you to use it with us." β
"Okay." Shen Nianzhen nodded immediately.
As she was talking, the door of the box was pushed open from outside, and Princess Zhaohua walked in angrily, staring at Shen Nianzhen with two eyes, as if she was a little incredulous: "You came back like this?" β
"Or else?" Shen Nianzhen blinked: "The eldest princess of Zhaoyang is kind, but she asked me a few words and let me come back, is it possible that princess, do you think she is a tiger and will eat me?" β
"How could she let you go so easily!"
Zhaohua said viciously: "The most hated thing in Aunt Zhaoyang's life is the woman who tries to climb the high branches in vain!" Although you are the daughter of the great commander, you are not noble, and if you are married to the second brother, you are Gao Pan! β
This is also true.
Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "Then I don't know." β
Zhaohua was about to insult a few more words when he heard a gentle cough behind him.
She turned her head suddenly, and saw that Cui Mama next to the eldest princess of Zhaoyang was standing on the corridor, and she was suddenly frightened, and turned around and left.
Mama Cui smiled at Shen Nianzhen and turned to leave.
Shen Nianzhen smiled back, feeling very funny in her heart, it turned out that Princess Zhaohua was most afraid of this eldest princess aunt!
That's easy to do.
After this episode, no one came to the door to trouble Shen Nianzhen again.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought some exquisite dishes, and a few people went to the table to sit down and start eating, and at the same time, the pot throwing competition downstairs had reached the third round.
"If there is no accident, the winner today must be the second son of Su." Liao Kanglan said with great interest.
Liao Yulan glared at her: "Don't talk during dinner." β
"Sister, this is outside, so you don't have to be so boring, right?" Liao Kanglan stuck out his tongue.
Liao Shulan stood up with a smile, carried the teapot and said, "I'll pour tea for everyone." β
One by one, everyone was filled with tea.
Shen Nian really wanted to refuse, but Liao Shulan had already taken the lead, took her cup and poured a full cup of tea, and when she handed it to Shen Nianzhen, she suddenly accidentally shook her wrist, and the cup of tea was all spilled on Shen Nianzhen's sleeve.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Liao Shulan apologized again and again. looked at Shen Nianzhen with a guilty face and said, "Miss Shen, your clothes are wet, why don't you go downstairs to change them?" I'll go with you! β
"No need." Shen Nianzhen immediately refused, slowly stood up and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go and change clothes with Ruhua." β
Shen Nianzhu stood up silently and said indifferently: "I'll accompany you." β
Shen Nianzhen nodded immediately when he heard this: "Okay." β
The three of them walked out of the box together and went to the dressing room specially prepared for female guests in the Wangjiang Building on the second floor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went downstairs, he met Su Yunmu head-on.
When Su Yunmu saw Shen Nianzhu, he was immediately surprised, rushed up and grabbed her, and said happily: "Did you see it?" See? Just now I won! Finally won! β
A handsome face is full of joy, eager to share it with others.
"Second son Su, please respect yourself!" Shen Nianzhu pushed him away and said expressionlessly: "When you just threw the pot, your hands trembled several times, but it was just a fluke." β
