Xie Yanhe welcomed the first group of guests into the mansion today.

After Princess Fuqing, Princess Yichang and Princess Duanmin were half a step behind their eldest sister, followed by Princess Ying, Princess Kang, Princess Chengjun, and His Majesty's two younger sisters, Princess Fengle and Princess Wuyang. The last one is the daughter of the British Prince's Mansion and the lord of Jingjun.

These clan relatives can come, it can be said that they are all the face of Princess Fuqing.

Xie Yanhe led all the female dependents to enter from the Invitation Moon Gate, through the carved beams and painted mountains through the verandah, all the way to the flowers and willows, along the crescent moon lake shaped like a crescent moon, bypassing the lotus root Champs across the water, secretly connecting the twists and turns of the bamboo bridge, boarding the thirteen-hole pontoon bridge, and then going forward is the three-story stage listening pavilion, through the verdant bamboo forest, stepping on the path, then to the guest house for everyone to rest, the wind blows the secluded fence, the field of vision is broad, you can take a look at the water feature, the green willows are swaying around, the lotus leaf pavilion is like a cover, the peach blossom, the pear blossom has been defeated, the rose, the moon season, wisteria, The cuckoo was at the right time, and from a distance, it was full of steaming clouds.

Secluded Pavilion, Yiyun Pavilion, Luoying Residence, Yuanxiangju, Star Picking Building, Jichang Building...... Depending on the guest's preference, the accommodation available for guests to relax is also different.

Xie Yanhe led everyone to visit the guest house and walked along the path to a very famous building in Xiaocang Garden, the Flowing Water Corridor.

As the name suggests, this corridor has a gurgling stream flowing under the corridor, which is the living water that is drawn down from Xiangye Mountain, and the floor of the corridor is a plane tree with excellent sound transmission, which is chiseled out of the sound scale by skilled craftsmen.

Walking through this very characteristic corridor, there is a wide pond with various colors of koi, the bottom of the pond is dug with white marble, and the stones inside are all carved from glass, and the sunlight reflects the colorful brilliance.

Next to the wide pond, there is a listening pavilion with windows open all around and a light body, and it is a poem of "the autumn shade does not disperse and the frost flies late, and the residual lotus is left to listen to the sound of the rain". It is worth mentioning in the pavilion that the pine, bamboo, plum, magpie flying cover carved with ginkgo wood three-dimensional, the knife is skillful, the skill is superb, the idea is ingenious, the two patterns of "three friends of the cold year" and "magpie Dengmei" are soft together, it is a rare boutique in the garden flying cover; In addition to the carvings, all the windows in the pavilion are inlaid with glass, which is simple and luxurious.

Opposite the wide pond, is planted with the peony famous spring pet garden, is also the purpose of the banquet, the name of the garden is "peony Cheng spring pet, He Zeng envy peony" meaning.

This spring pet garden occupies a huge area, there are thousands of peony flowers all around, a huge open space in the center, there is a food table on it, in the middle is the pebbles piled up out of the meandering water, the bottom of the canal is paved with glaze, there are fresh flowers floating on it, and there are small fish burned into glaze, look at it from a distance, it is brilliant, beautiful.

The ladies who went to the banquet today are all from the rich township, and they can be regarded as seeing all the rare things on weekdays, but the Xiaocang Garden, which is the main banquet guest of Yonghe County, is second to none in the whole capital.

The three or two of the ladies stood together, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the garden in a relaxed and comfortable manner, while reassessing the weight of the county lord of Yonghe in his heart.

"Yonghe, your garden is really beautiful." Rao is Princess Fuqing's eyes are above the top, and the scenery along the way still makes her feel dizzying.

Hearing this, Xie Yanhe said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, this is the birthday gift that Your Majesty gave me a year ago, when I was still at my grandfather's house in Jiangnan. Everything in the garden was purchased by the steward. If he can be praised by His Royal Highness, he should be rewarded generously. ”

Although she knew that the ladies were listening to the conversation between herself and Princess Fuqing with their ears pricked up, Xie Yanhe's banquet today was to return to the social circle of the capital, so her behavior today changed her previous style and became very high-profile.

Suddenly, Xie Yanhe's words seemed to have thrown a stone into everyone's heart, and the ladies couldn't help but look different when they heard it.

"Rewarded by my father?" Princess Fuqing raised her eyebrows, her eyes swept around, and after seeing a few familiar imperial gifts, her gorgeous phoenix eyes had a hint of banter, her red lips opened slightly, and she said in a manly voice: "Yonghe, my father is so kind to you, this palace looks really jealous." ”

"Big sister will eat flying vinegar indiscriminately." Princess Yichang, who was following Princess Fuqing, covered her mouth and smiled: "Who doesn't know that the eldest sister's princess's mansion was rebuilt from the former Duanwang Mansion, and in the future...... It would be nice if Ah Ying and I could have half the blessing of our big sister. ”

Princess Yichang interjected as if it were true.

A hint of coldness flashed in Princess Fuqing's eyes, she paused, curled her lips and smiled: "Yo! Xiao Nizi, is this a hate to marry? You're only a few years old, and you're thinking about leaving the palace and opening a mansion! ”

"Big sister is so boring, I just said a few words in vain, and you deducted such a big hat for me!"

Princess Yichang knew in her heart that she and her sister's holy family could not be compared with Princess Fuqing at all, so she said such a sincere sentence in a joking tone.

But Princess Fuqing is not easy to get along with, so she immediately choked Princess Yichang back.

Princess Fuqing had a smile on her face, but there was a trace of contempt in her phoenix eyes: "You say a few words in vain, and I also say a few words in vain, is it only allowed for you, who is a sister, to say it, and I can't say it as a sister?" ”

Princess Yichang was robbed by Princess Fuqing, and she was immediately ashamed and angry, she knew that she was wrong, so she could only stomp her feet like a liar, and turned her head to complain to Princess Ying: "Auntie, you see that the eldest sister bullied me." ”

Although the King and His Majesty are the same grandfather and cousin. But His Majesty was only an unfavored prince before, and the King of England never took this younger brother seriously.

Who knew that the world was turned upside down overnight, King Yong killed his brother and became the Ninety-Five Supreme. The king of England did not burn a cold stove in the past, and now it is not the turn of the hot stove, so he can only clamp his tail and be a man, lest he attract the eyes of the current emperor.

Although the King of England is now in charge of the Zongzheng Temple and has the right to discipline the royal family, clans and relatives, he has always acted according to the eyes of the emperor. As the wife of the King of England, the Princess of England is even more low-key.

Now that Emperor Jianyuan's two golden branches and jade leaves are arguing in public, how dare Princess Ying intervene. While secretly hating Princess Yichang for burning this fire on her head, she smiled wryly: "The two princesses are really lively. ”

The words of the British princess were not as meaningful, and Xie Yanhe almost laughed out loud when he heard it. This British princess is really timid and afraid, it's better not to say it.

Sure enough, when Princess Yichang heard this, she couldn't compete with her eldest sister, so she went directly to Princess Ying: "Auntie's words are really boring!" ”

As soon as Princess Yichang said this, the atmosphere was suddenly a little cold.

Among the female dependents, the princess of England has the highest status and the largest seniority, and even the princesses don't buy her words, and the rest of the people dare not persuade them.

Even the biological daughter of Lord Hejing, she could only silently hold the arm of Princess Ying, and she didn't even dare to give her mother a head.

Although Xie Yanhe was secretly annoyed that Princess Yichang was jealous regardless of the occasion, he deserved to be taught a lesson by Princess Fuqing. But as the host of today's banquet, she couldn't watch Princess Fuqing and Princess Yichang quarrel and ruin the banquet she had carefully prepared.

Xie Yan and Ru Ru's eyebrows were full of smiles, and his eyes swept over Princess Duanmin, who was watching the two sisters quarrel but didn't say a word, and chuckled: "Your Royal Highness Duanmin, let these two people argue here, let's go to the listening pavilion with a few elders to drink tea." ”

How much Xie Yanhe is favored by the emperor, the ladies outside the palace are hearsay, and they may be suspicious; But the three princesses grew up in the palace, saw and heard a lot, and they were jealous at first, but over time, they became numb.

At the beginning, the three princesses were not angry and jointly made trouble with their father, and Emperor Jianyuan did not punish them, but doubled the reward given to Xie Yanhe, the bigger the trouble, the more Xie Yanhe's reward.

Gradually, the princesses understood a truth: as an emperor, it is a sin to be red in the eyes of others who want to favor whoever they want.

Now that Xie Yanhe has spoken, of course Princess Fuqing wants to give Xie Yanhe face.

For a while, the chill between Princess Fuqing's eyebrows was gone, she smiled and gently twisted Xie Yanhe's arm, and said angrily: "Yichang and I are just talking a few jokes, you are going to throw the two of us here, do you have such a master?" ”

Although Princess Yichang was not convinced, Princess Fuqing had already revealed it, she could only swallow the anger in her heart, and said sweetly: "What the eldest sister said is right, I think Cousin Yonghe is reluctant to be rewarded by her father for good tea!" ”

The two princesses didn't even sell the face of Princess Ying, the elder, but now they have taken a step back under the persuasion of the county lord of Yonghe, and the reason behind this is shocking. The ladies pressed down the thoughts that were churning like turbulent waves in their hearts, and began to play a round with a smile.

Even Princess Duanmin, who has always been silent, said with a smile: "Cousin doesn't hurry up and lead the way, today I have to favor my cousin's good things." ”

Xie Yanhe smiled and grabbed Princess Duanmin's arm, as if she didn't notice the little princess's sudden stiff movements, she said with a bit of playfulness: "I have prepared dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and I will never disappoint Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Xie Yanhe introduced people into the listening pavilion, and when melon and fruit snacks and fragrant tea and fruit drinks were put on the table in an endless stream, she apologized to everyone and withdrew from the flower hall, ready to welcome the next group of guests.

But Princess Fuqing got up with it, took Xie Yanhe's arm and said, "How can I be alone with you, and this palace will accompany you." The kindness in the words is eye-catching.

The two walked out of the open hall hand in hand.

Princess Fuqing's smiling face immediately fell, she was very close to Xie Yanhe, and the whole person almost attached to Xie Yanhe's ear and said: "I was playing with Yichang just now, don't take it to heart." ”

Acting? Xie Yanhe was taken aback, she tried her best not to show anything unusual, her red lips opened slightly, and she almost said in an angry voice: "Is there anything else I don't know about today?" Can I help? ”

"Indeed, I will lend your hands to use." The two of them had already stepped onto the flowing water corridor while talking, and the sound of gurgling water and piano completely obscured the sound of Princess Fuqing and Xie Yanhe talking.

Princess Fuqing's gorgeous face brought out a little anger, and she said hatefully: "It's not that the Hui nobles in the palace are too angry, Yichang and Duanmin because of this mother, they didn't suffer less when they were young, and now they have grown up, so they can be regarded as able to free up their hands to teach that villain a lesson." It's just that there are eyes everywhere in the palace, so I want to borrow your place for use. ”

Princess Fuqing retracted her anger slightly, and looked at Xie Yanhe apologetically: "Princess Yichang asked me to treat her and make amends to you." Of course, if you don't want to, she will never dare to force you. ”

"You two tricked me." Xie Yanhe didn't see that the sisters Princess Fuqing and Princess Yichang were making a show at all, and couldn't help but say in a low voice.

Hearing this, Princess Fuqing bent her lips, a ray of insight and clarity flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "How do you know that Yichang's words are not sincere?" It's just that our dear sisters are all not on good terms with Chen Rong, and they are supposed to report to the group for warmth in the palace, and some small sections are hidden in their hearts. ”

Princess Fuqing laughed in her heart.

There will be discord between the sisters of the same mother, not to mention that she and Yichang and Duanmin are just half-sisters.

It's just that it's really rare in the deep palace, there is no big dispute between their sisters, and they are all young and helpless people, although Yichang and Duanmin have mothers, they might as well not have them.

The three of them have the same disease, and the eldest brother of the prince ignores them, and there are many people in the harem who have fallen into the well, and if they don't join forces, can they still live?

Princess Fuqing thought of the past, and there was a trace of imperceptible fragility in her always arrogant eyebrows, but soon, she opened her lips and smiled: "Yonghe, it's all up to you to say yes or not, I'm just a messenger, you don't have to feel embarrassed." ”

"What's so embarrassing about that?" Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." I'm not a person who cares much about fame, either. Even if something is selfish, I will at most be overlooked. ”

With Princess Fuqing's pungent and refreshing temperament, she could be so spitting, Xie Yanhe guessed Princess Yichang's abacus without much effort.

"I can't hide anything from you!" Princess Fuqing smiled and pinched Xie Yan and his tender cheeks, and ordered the female officer who followed the two of them in a very good mood: "Chunxue, go and tell Princess Yichang the good news, if she gives you less reward, the palace will not follow!" ”

"Your Highness used me as a favor, and he helped his female official to ask for rewards so confidently, it really opened my eyes!" Xie Yanhe had a playful smile on his face, his eyes were like water, and he secretly glanced at Princess Fuqing.

Princess Fuqing suddenly covered her chest exaggeratedly: "This palace now knows what it is to look back and smile Bai Meisheng, you can spare the little liver of this palace!" ”

"Your Highness, you don't have a proper way anymore, I'm going to be annoyed!" Xie Yanhe stomped his feet, threw down the laughing Princess Fuqing, and walked to the front first.

"Yonghe, wait for me!" Princess Fuqing smiled, and when she saw this, she hurriedly chased after her skirt.
