When Zhu Yongze strode over, almost everyone's attention was on him and his imperial uncle Zhu Chengbai.

No one noticed that the simply-dressed woman behind him would be the third to bow after Zhu Yongze and Zhu Chengbai said goodbye.

She claimed to be Yuan Ping.

Yuan Ping? Lord Yunping!

It's Zhu Yongze's cousin!

My cousin is here!

It's time to enter Beijing!

Rong An, Tao Yun, Chang Rufei and others changed their complexions......

Yuan Ping is the daughter of Zhang Hongfang, Zhu Yongze's biological mother, Zhang's maternal uncle.

Zhang Hongfang is a local general with great military achievements and great prestige in Gyeongnam. It can be said that most of the credit for Zhang's ability to become a princess is attributed to Zhang Hongfang.

Gyeongnam is different from Yan'an, the Nanban region is diverse and diverse, and in addition to various ethnic issues, it also faces nuisance from countries such as South Burma.

Zhang Hongfang has been on the side for more than 20 years and has experienced nearly 100 large and small battles. Even Yu Bohong has worked with him for a few years, and often praises him as a rare pillar of the country.

However, such a hero died in the War of Resistance against Burma eight years ago, leaving only a daughter.

The emperor was grateful for his military exploits, and specially named his daughter as the lord of the county, and gave her a fief and the title of Yuanping, so as to ensure that she would be glorious and peaceful.

Zhang Hongfang was at peace on the one side, and his military exploits and prestige in Gyeongnam were really outstanding, and to this day they still make barbarians fearful, and the Gyeongnam forces sigh, and their prestige has not diminished back then.

Zhang Hongfang's wife is the pearl of the Zhujia family, the largest family in Gyeongnam, and her mother is from the Lin family, the richest man in the local area, so it can be said that Yuanping's parents are powerful, her mother's generation is powerful, her ancestors are rich, and she herself has a reputation and status.

Such a niece is too perfect, and Princess Yan'an naturally has the intention of matching her with her son.

Compared with Chang Rufei, even if he is tough in Beijing, he can't save his thirst from far water, and the fact is of no significance to Qingnandi. It is also based on this that Rong An feels that the princess will not be too fond of Chang Rufei.

Since the princess had already mentioned the matter of Yuan Ping before, Yuan Ping suddenly appeared in Beijing and the palace at this moment, which can be said to be very inappropriate.

Especially looking at the emperor's expression of "who is Yuan Ping" after he was stunned for two breaths, he obviously didn't expect this Yuan Ping to enter Beijing.

"Yuanping? Are you the daughter of Hong Fang? The Emperor asked.

"Yes. The courtier Yuan Ping knocked to see the emperor. ”

What do you mean?

Rong An couldn't help but miss his teeth.

Zhu Yongze entered Beijing to get married, what about her?

What is she doing here?

Could it be that it is a blessing that has come all the way?

Why did Zhu Yongze bring her here?

Why didn't even the emperor know?

They even hid it from the emperor?

Several people were disappointed and ...... Zhu Yongze almost at the same time Smell a rat. Zhu Yongze did this, didn't he know that Chang Rufei would be sad and think more? But he still brought people into Beijing. It clearly has a purpose. Could it be that he still wants to ask the emperor for one more favor? Left and right?

Otherwise?

Sure enough, Chang Rufei thought the same thing, and her hands trembled slightly.

Rong An and Tao Yun grabbed her left and right: "Don't think about it. Let's see. ”

Several people couldn't help but look at Na Yuanping carefully.

Thin body with a slap-sized face. The face is not beautiful but delicate, especially a pair of eyes, which seem to be shrouded in a layer of mist, the water is hazy, and the whole person exudes a soft aura. The clothes are not bad, simple light cyan, very elegant, but at this time of the palace banquet, it seems to be a little bland.

Such a person, such as Zhu Qinglian, is almost a completely different existence from Ru Fei.

For a while, everyone was already talking to each other.

I think what a hero Zhang Hongfang is, but how can his daughter ...... Looks so weak? There is no posture from the famous door at all.

But most people knew it right away. Her father died in battle, her mother was not in good health, and she was under the fence all these years...... What a miserable girl with no reputation!

Listening to everyone's whispered discussions, Rong An frowned again.

It's kind of interesting!

Nothing was done, and the harvest was already reaped all the way sighing sympathy and pity. Coupled with her harmless face, who can't say pity. After the hero, she couldn't even control her marriage, which made people feel a little more distressed to see her.

No, the Queen Mother has summoned people to her and pulled them to her side to speak......

This Yuan Ping speaks and behaves elegantly with restraint, and speaks softly and softly, which happens to be the kind that the elders like. When love came, the Queen Mother spoke to her, and her voice softened a little.

Yuan Ping also looked at everyone with curious eyes......

When she arrived at Chang Rufei's place, she paused in her gaze, and then showed a gentle and flattering smile.

In comparison, Chang Rufei, who is too straightforward, is not so ...... It was flattering. The other party was laughing, but Chang Rufei looked away coldly, and her expression was quite ugly. The other party froze, and the grievances flashed on his face.

At this time, everyone was paying attention to Yuan Ping, and seeing the sudden change in her expression, everyone naturally followed her gaze and looked in the direction of Chang Rufei.

Chang Rufei, who has a strong cold face, is obviously not so likable in comparison.

Rong An and Tao Yun glanced at each other. Chang Rufei's temperament, if she encounters a hypocritical little pitiful, she is afraid that she will suffer a big loss......

At this moment, Chang Rufei was angry.

She was angry, not only because of the appearance of this Yuan Ping, but also because Zhu Yongze said in the letter to her that his uncle would come to Beijing to watch the ceremony, but he didn't mention that his good cousin would also come. He has been writing several times lately, but he has not mentioned this cousin. Chang Rufei never imagined that he would take his cousin into Beijing without telling him.

It is said that he and his cousin are childhood sweethearts, and they are very happy to travel the mountains and rivers along the way, right? Brought into Beijing, do you want to force yourself to regress or do you plan to cut it first?

And what she was even more angry about was that when she first met Zhu Yongze's eyes, he had a heart or two when he wanted to speak.

If it weren't for the imperial front, Chang Rufei would definitely slap the table and leave.

Heh, is Yuan Ping wronged?

Isn't it yourself who is really wronged?

She lowered her eyes, but she couldn't help but glance upward.

Yuan Ping, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, looked at Zhu Yongze from time to time during the reply, the admiration and love in his eyes were overflowing, and he was bringing the princess and "cousin" in and out of his words, and that kind of intimacy made Chang Rufei feel even more annoyed.

Oh, when did the topic of this banquet change from her and Zhu Yongze's wedding to Yuan Ping?

and that Zhu Chengbai, who was also praising Yuanping's good things, seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of this banquet.

The taste has changed!

Chang Rufei felt that she was inexplicably reduced to a supporting role.

Looking at the three people in front of the palace, Chang Rufei found that she was nondescript, they were a family. Myself...... Can it be blended in?

This is not Chang Rufei's feeling alone, Tao Yun and Rong An also feel the same. They couldn't eat a single bite of this meal. Even though Zhu Yongze tried to lead the topic to his marriage with Chang Rufei several times......

In the middle of the luncheon, the emperor summoned Zhu Yongze and Zhu Chengbai to the inner hall to talk, Tao Yungang was about to accompany Chang Rufei to change clothes and breathe, but Yuan Ping came over.

When she came to Chang Rufei, she bowed weakly and showed a pure smile.

"You're Sister Chang, aren't you? Yuan Ping has a greeting for you. ”

Chang Rufei was pulled down by Tao Yun and returned the salute.

"Sister Chang, can I call you that?" She asked, wincing.

Rong An laughed out and interrupted directly. What a little white flower.

"You've already called, and if you ask again, is it too late? Ru Fei will marry your cousin in a few days, you call your sister-in-law almost the same, what's the matter with calling your sister? What day was your birth? You're older than Jouffi, aren't you? Do you call it that because Ru Fei looks old? Let's call my sister-in-law! ”

Yuan Ping was stunned, but she didn't expect someone to give Chang Rufei a head before she said a word. Looking at her appearance, she immediately realized where this was sacred.

Strange people say that Yu Rongan and Chang Rufei are better, but it is true.

She originally saw that Chang Rufei's face was not good-looking, and guessed that she was violent, deliberately commensurate with sisters, and wanted to find out who she was.

"No, no, Sister Chang...... Miss Chang is so good-looking, I just want to come and say hello. She took half a step back, cringing again, and she looked like she was being bullied. That's what the sister said. It was Yuan Ping who was reckless. ”

Rong An smiled again: "I'm younger than Miss Chang, I look at you...... It's supposed to be older than me, so don't call me sister. ”

Rong Anxin was more concerned about this Yuan Ping. Since she is familiar with her and called her sister, she naturally hopes to win over the relationship. A "sister-in-law" can just resolve the embarrassment just now and warm up.

But she pointed it out, but instead she called Chang Rufei "Miss Chang", and suddenly opened the relationship again. It can be seen that she doesn't want Chang Rufei to become her sister-in-law, and she doesn't come with sincerity.

It is clear that the comers are not good.

On the other hand, Yuan Ping is also wrong.

This Yu Rong'an, so annoying! She is almost seventeen, if it weren't for Zhu Yongze who fled to the capital before the princess planned to marry her last year, they would have been married a long time ago, maybe they would have been pregnant at this time. As soon as he left, her marriage dragged on. She didn't know how old she was and Chang Ru Phoebe, but she was definitely older than Yu Rong'an.

Yuan Ping is a bit blocked, and it is difficult to perform his best skills. That Yu Rongan smiled as brightly and warmly as a flower, and his "grievances" would look weird.

Rong An said again: "Also, you are the county lord and your identity is extraordinary. is different from the identity of ordinary girls, and must not be commensurate with sisters, the girls can't afford it, and it will affect the communication of the county lord at that time. Rong An continued to smile brightly. I don't know, I think the county lord doesn't know how to be polite. ”

The corners of Yuan Ping's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything more, but only bowed and retreated.

She sat alone, with tears in her eyes, gently sipping tea in her cup and watching everyone carefully.

Outsiders look at her and only think she is pitiful. If it weren't for Rong An always maintaining the same kind of laughter, it would have been possible to think that Rong An had bullied her.

Soon a girl went to talk, and she talked eloquently, which was very touching.

Rong An and the others didn't bother to look at her coy behavior, so they got up and left their seats to change their clothes......

In the dressing courtyard, Rong An persuaded Chang Rufei, who was on the verge of breaking out.

"That cousin Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone in passers-by, what does he mean by bringing her? What does he mean by deliberately hiding it from me? She came to provoke you and saw it, it's not that I misunderstood, but that I met a scum full of lies again! ”

Chang Rufei was furious and planned to resign and go home.

Several people took turns to persuade her to calm down.

"You can't go back." Rong'an Road. "You have to hold it. Otherwise, you are not decent enough, and you just make a comparison with people. The other party didn't do anything, you are so calm and jealous, it is your reputation that is bad, but it allows the other party to succeed. ”

"That's right!" Tao Yun: "Zhu Yongze hasn't spoken yet, we can't convict him based on speculation." You have to give yourself a chance to defend yourself in the judgment! "Although he must have been somewhat guilty.

Yan Feiqing: "If Yuanping really has a chance, why wait until today, they have already become." It's clear that Yuan Ping is hot, don't be fooled. ”

Several people persuaded her, and Chang Rufei became more and more upset.

"I'll stay alone for a while, and you can go back to the banquet first. I'll go back when the banquet is over. ”

"It's okay, you're calm and calm. Don't be impulsive. ”

"Got it. Let's go. ”

A few people left Chang Rufei alone to calm down.

When Chang Rufei was sure that she couldn't hear it, Rong An said quietly: "Since she is a sister, she thinks she is planning to be small." Rong An couldn't help but sigh at Chang Rufei's bumpy love path. Why is her marriage so difficult?

"No, it won't. In the end, he is also the county lord of the saint's own title, can he be small? Yan Feiqing was shocked.

"Nothing won't. Ru Fei's marriage was given by the emperor himself, and the emperor could not be repented. If she still wants Zhu Yongze, there is only this way left. ”

Tao Yun also thinks so. Size, does it matter? After Chang Rufei married in a foreign country, it was useful to be big? There is no right, and it may be replaced by the overhead at any time. That Yuanping is powerful, even if he is small, his power will not be smaller than Chang Rufei.

The winner is the one who runs to the end, and Chang Rufei is difficult to win.

"Therefore, if Ru Fei wants to marry him, she must not have this trouble!" Rong An is very determined. Otherwise, I don't know how to die. Strangers in a foreign land, without strength, who will protect?

Tao Yun and the two also nodded.

"Let's listen to Zhu Yongze's statement first."

It's really not good, it's better to stay in the capital. If you are rich, good-looking, have a family background, have friends, have an industry, and have relatives, why bother to marry a man thousands of miles away!

……

The three of them didn't want to see Yuan Ping, so they deliberately walked far away.

Yan Feiqing's menstrual affair this month has been delayed for several days, and she is suspected of being pregnant, and several people are concerned about her.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour to return to the banquet, I found that Yuan Ping was not seated.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, he still didn't see anyone.

invited the palace maid to ask, saying that the lord of Yuanping went to change clothes two quarters of an hour ago and did not return.

Changing clothes, Yuan Ping also went to change clothes!

The three of them looked at each other, naturally they couldn't sit down, and immediately got up and went to the changing place......

Yuan Ping saw Yu Rongan and the others leaving, so he knocked on the door of Chang Rufei's dressing courtyard.

"Chang...... Miss Chang, can I come in? She was cautious.

"What's the matter?" Chang Rufei calmed down for a while, and she was no longer so angry. She comforted herself, maybe this Yuan Ping entered Beijing not because of her and Zhu Yongze?

"Can we talk?"

Chang Rufei opened the door, she was above board, what was she afraid of?

"If there's anything, just tell me."

"My cousin said that Miss Chang is a straightforward person, and sure enough."

Yuan Ping smiled innocently, and Chang Rufei already wanted to scold in her heart.

"Something to talk about." It's okay to fuck off.
