Chapter 137: Going to the Feast

"Oh? Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows in surprise, "In this way, Cheng Enbo does not have a good relationship with his brother-in-law. ”

"County lord, whoever has been suppressed by his brother for many years, it is impossible for him to have no resentment in his heart." The mandarin duck helped Mama Gong drink half of the tea cup to refill the tea, and handed it to Mama Gong with both hands.

"After the Chen family was deprived of the title by His Majesty, the slave maid bought a deputy steward who had been an errand in the Chen family." Mandarin Duck said unhurriedly: "According to the deputy steward of the Chen family, the second master of the Chen family had the ambition of Wei Bian when he was young, although he was enlightened at the age of seven, but he has been diligent in his studies, and he was promoted at the age of eighteen, and he was a high school jinshi at the age of twenty-five. Even if he treats the subordinates in the house, he is always gentle and polite. On the contrary, the former Changping Bo has always looked at Chen Yanqing's cousin as unpleasant, and even instructed his son to pressure the officials and suppress this cousin in every possible way......"

After the mandarin duck stated what he knew about Cheng Enbo, he added his own feelings: "The slave maid thinks that the deputy steward of the Chen family is not at all. Even though Chen Yanqing has been suppressed by his mother and brother-in-law, he can still spread his reputation, and he is loyal and treacherous, not a good type. ”

Mandarin Duck's words are biased, Xie Yanhe understands that Mandarin Duck is facing himself, preconceived, and will see that everyone in the Chen family does not look like a good person.

But...... Mandarin duck's words also have some truth. No matter what Chen Yanqing's character is, he can be valued by Wei Zhao, which shows that he has outstanding ability and is good at forbearance, which is indeed difficult to deal with.

"County lord, since Chen Yanqing and his brother-in-law have had an affair, can we make some articles in it to separate the relationship between him and the crown princess?"

Mandarin Duck would buy the steward of the Chen family at that time because she was used to keeping a back hand for herself, but she didn't expect that now she was crooked, and asked a bunch of valuable news from the mouth of the steward.

Xie Yanhe shook his head: "No matter how big the arrogance is, you can't write two 'Chen' characters in one stroke." ”

Mandarin Duck's eyes flashed: "County master, the slave doesn't believe that Chen Yanqing will be selfless." He also has sons and daughters, if it is contrary to the interests of the crown princess, how do you say he will choose? ”

When Xie Yanhe heard this, a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed, and after a while, she smiled and said, "What, do you still plan to send Chen Yanqing's daughter to the East Palace?" ”

"Why not?" Mandarin duck is a person who has served Xie Yan and his biological mother, and has always been embarrassed in front of Xie Yanhe. Seeing that there was no displeasure in Xie Yanhe's eyebrows, she said boldly and bluntly: "Since you can send Wu Bijun to the East Palace, the daughter of Chen Yanqing, in terms of identity, is much higher than Wu Bijun. ”

Mandarin Duck knew in his heart: Although the county lord of Jinghua had recognized Wu Bijun as a righteous daughter, and invited acquaintances to officially set up a banquet, these were just false names. In the eyes of high-ranking families, Wu Bijun has always been a merchant girl.

Chen Yanqing's daughter is the daughter of a serious earl, once she enters the East Palace, will Chen Yanqing, the biological father, still plan for the niece in the next room!

Xie Yanhe looked at the mandarin duck with a shrewd appearance, and couldn't help but burst her sweet dream: "Why do you think Your Majesty wants to summon Chen Yanqing back to Beijing?" His Majesty wanted to tie Chen Yanqing to the prince's ship, and it was not enough to seal Cheng Enbo, and gave Chen Yanqing the position of the prince's family order from the fourth grade. It can be said that without the crown princess Chen Rong, there would be no Chen Yanqing today. Unless Chen Yanqing is stupid, he will only be single-mindedly currying favor with the crown princess. ”

Xie Yanhe still remembered that she was still very dissatisfied with Wei Zhao's original arrangement, she picked her lips and sneered: "Do you think Chen Yanqing will be a stupid person?" ”

With Xie Yanhe's analysis, Mandarin Duck knew that she was thinking too naΓ―ve, and she bit her lip extremely unwillingly: "With Chen Yanqing, the crown princess is like a tiger, and she is cheaper!" ”

Mama Gong smiled slightly, or said that the young girl's family is innocent and cute, the county lord doesn't understand, and this mandarin duck doesn't understand.

Mama Gong said leisurely: "County Lord, although the crown princess has lifted the ban. But don't forget, not long after this Chen Wei died, although the crown princess could not wear linen and filial piety for her biological father in the palace, but as a child, she and His Royal Highness the prince could only live in separate rooms, and they had to keep a one-year filial piety period no matter what. The East Palace is about to enter the newcomer, and when the princess finishes her filial piety, maybe the children of the two side concubines will fall to the ground. ”

Listening to Mama Gong's words, the mandarin duck's eyes were shining, and she said happily: "Mama has eaten more salt than I have ever eaten, or you always have an idea." ”

Xie Yanhe is not as optimistic as Mama Gong and Mandarin Duck thought. Wei Jin was so infatuated with Chen Rong, how could he allow his concubine to be born in front of his son-in-law! But she didn't bother with the two, pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the banquet in Chengenbo Mansion, and Xie Yanhe got up half an hour earlier than usual.

After breakfast, Xie Yanhe changed into a goose-yellow flowing dark flower cloud brocade shirt under the service of the maid, a light green soft silver light Luo Hundred Butterflies and a thousand water skirts, covered with a moon-white snow-rolled cloud pattern gold pearl shirt and half arm, with a goose-yellow cicada wing yarn shawl on the crook of her arm, and she took a photo in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The color of Xie Yanhe's clothes is extremely light and tender, whether it is the Qianshui skirt on her body or the half-arm and shawl covered outside, they are full of lightness and elegantness, and the clear color is like a clear spring, a touch of flowing clouds, and a wisp of light mist.

If it weren't for the fact that her skin was better than snow, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she brought back the ethereal fairy aura like wind and snow, she really couldn't suppress the clothes on her body.

Mama Gong carefully looked at Xie Yanhe's outfit, and instructed Rosin Xiang: "The county lord's clothes are best with flying buns, and those complicated jewelry don't have to be worn, only the five-tailed phoenix hairpin with red gold dotted with pearls, the earrings pick a pair of red gold pearl basket earrings, the necklace is Qibao Yingluo, and the forehead ornament is pasted with gold leaf." ”

With Mama Gong's repeated instructions, Rosin quickly put Xie Yanhe in a bun, dressed up Xie Yanhe one by one according to Mama Gong's instructions, and took it upon herself to outline a small plum blossom with gold powder at the end of Xie Yanhe's eyebrows, looked at it carefully, and after finding that there was nothing wrong or missing, she began to put makeup on Xie Yanhe.

When Xie Yanhe made up makeup, I saw that her skin was like snow, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her skin was like peach blossoms and smiling, her black hair was like clouds, and her eyes were like stars. The side head smiled slightly, the lips bloomed with cherry blossoms, and the durian teeth were fragrant, and Yaochi Xianshu and Chang'e were nothing more than that.

It took a while for Mama Gong to find her voice, her eyes were hot, and she forcibly endured the wetness in her eyes and said: "Madame's appearance back then was the best in Jiangnan, and the county lord was blue, and she was even more beautiful than your mother." ”

"Mama, don't praise me." Xie Yanhe grabbed the arm of Mama Shanggong, and smiled at the corner of his lips: "In my father's eyes, my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world." ”

Mama Gong couldn't refute Xie Yanhe's words, she waved away the sadness in her heart, and looked at Xie Yanhe's indescribable kindness: "It's not too early, today's banquet of the Chen family, or let the mandarin duck accompany you?" ”

"No, let Suzaku and Cherry follow me today." Since Xie Yanhe got up in the morning, there has always been a lingering heaviness in his heart, as if it was a sign that something would happen today.

Although the mandarin ducks also have kung fu, compared to the Suzaku and them, they are embroidered with fists. Xie Yanhe felt that it was most reassuring to let Suzaku follow him.

"Alright, the slave will take you out." Mama Gong held Xie Yanhe's arm and said.

Out of the gate of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion, Xie Yanhe was just about to step into the carriage, but saw a very gorgeous Babao Palace car driving on the street, the owner of this palace car except for Princess Fuqing, did not think secondly.

Suddenly, Xie Yan and the figure in the car froze.

Princess Fuqing's carriage stopped at the gate of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion, and Chunxue got down from the carriage and bowed to Xie Yanhe: "Slave maid to the county lord of Yonghe." County Lord, my princess is waiting for you in the car. ”

Xie Yan and Wen Sheng said: "No courtesy." She had no choice but to abandon the carriage in her house, follow behind Chunxue, and get into the frame of Princess Fuqing.

Fortunately, Princess Fuqing's palace car is spacious enough, otherwise just Xie Yan and the two maids around her would not be able to sit in the car.

After Xie Yanhe got into the car, Princess Fuqing's eyes lit up, and she high-fived and praised: "Yonghe, your dress today is too beautiful, I wonder if Yaochi Xianshu has come down to earth." ”

"Your Highness, you can really speak." Xie Yanhe picked up the fan he was holding in his hand and covered his cheeks abruptly.

Her slender jade fingers were held on the handle of the white jade fan, and the skin made of snow looked fairer and more radiant than the beautiful jade.

Princess Fuqing's gorgeous phoenix eyes were dyed with a strong stunning color, and she said with envy and jealousy: "I don't know how your skin was born, it's really jealous." If I were a man, I would have to keep you chained to my side every day. ”

Xie Yanhe was annoyed and angry: "What did Your Highness say!" ”

After Princess Fuqing finished saying this, she looked at Xie Yanhe's cheeks that were gradually dyed with a glow, seeing that she had annoyed people, and it was not good to make fun of her again, Princess Fuqing nodded her chin and looked at Xie Yan and the maid behind her: "Why did you bring two practitioners today?" Are you going to go to the Hongmen banquet? ”

Seeing that Princess Fuqing was no longer talking, Xie Yanhe put down the fan that covered her cheeks, and she bent her red lips: "This is the first time I have come to the Chengenbo Mansion, and it is always wrong to be careful." ”

"Don't worry." Princess Fuqing snorted lightly, the cold glint in Feng's eyes flashed, and she sneered: "It is expected that his Chen family will not dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head." ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the carriage had arrived at the official hat alley where the Chen family was located.

Princess Fuqing looked at the vehicles passing in front of her in an orderly manner, and raised her long eyebrows that flew obliquely into her temples: "Today's Chengenbo Mansion is lively. This battle is much greater than when you were feasting. ”

"Most of the people in the world are high and low, why is it strange." Xie Yanhe has long been accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and she thought mockingly: Even Shen Faxing, who had the grace of knowing her, has not forgotten her old benefactor.

Princess Fuqing sneered: "Sooner or later, there will be a day when they will regret it." ”

Xie Yan and a pair of calm peach blossom eyes were dyed with a hint of a smile, and she said with a light smile: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter to someone, why bother to be angry. ”

"This palace doesn't have a good cultivation like you." Princess Fuqing glanced at Xie Yanhe with a smile, and instructed Chunxue: "Go, send the invitation to the palace." ”

As Princess Fuqing, if there was no Mrs. Cheng Enbo to greet her, she would never get out of the car, otherwise she would be too self-deprecating.

Chunxue got the order, jumped out of the carriage neatly, walked towards the gate of Chengenbo's Mansion, and went to negotiate with the concierge of Chengenbo's Mansion.

Chunxue didn't go for long, but after a while, Cheng Enbo's Mansion opened the middle door and lifted the high threshold that was installed on the gate.

At this moment, the ladies who should have come have arrived, and the only carriage left on the street. The coachman shouted, and Princess Fuqing's carriage drove straight in, until it reached the second gate, and then the carriage stopped.

The guards had already placed the stools on either side of the carriage.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo was stunned when she saw this.

The Hui nobles in the palace died of illness, and Princess Yichang and Princess Duanmin were filial piety to their mothers, and they would definitely not come to the banquet of the Chen family.

The guards of Princess Fuqing's Mansion put two footstools at the same time, could it be that there were others in the car? But who else can inherit the same car with the golden branches and jade leaves of this dynasty, except for the two princesses in the palace?

Just as Mrs. Cheng Enbo was stunned, two women in brocade clothes walked down from the carriage at the same time.

One is a palace dress with a golden butterfly and flowers, combed with a peony bun, and a full set of ruby heads, with a gorgeous appearance and extraordinary momentum; The other is a light yellow and light blue, smoky mist silk skirt shirt, combed with a flying bun, the green silk of the crow crow only has a five-tailed phoenix hairpin, the pearl beads hanging from the phoenix's mouth just swaying at the center of the woman's eyebrows, the treasure light, like the pearl of the moon, but not as moving as the woman's bright eyes.

I saw that the woman's skin was brighter than snow, her lips were like Danzhu, the water was her eyes, and the mountains were eyebrows; Alluring the country and the city, non-flowers and non-fog, better than Xizi enchanting, more real and muddy; Fangze is unadded, lead Huafu Yu, tender, and unparalleled.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo lost her mind in an instant.

There is such a beautiful woman in the world!

On the day when the lockdown in the East Palace was lifted, Mrs. Cheng Enbo entered the palace to visit the crown princess.

When Cheng Enbo followed her husband out, this niece was only three years old, and although she gave birth to more pink makeup and delicate eyebrows and eyes than other girls, she was not as stunning as when she grew up.

When Mrs. Cheng Enbo first saw Chen Rong, she was stunned by the lazy and depraved and extremely glamorous beauty of her niece, thinking that there would be no more beautiful woman than the crown princess in this world, but today, she only knew that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky.

Princess Fuqing looked at Mrs. Cheng Enbo, who was glazed over, and couldn't help but cough lightly.

Princess Fuqing secretly slandered: Those who come from the countryside are from the countryside, although a dress is also a precious material, but the autumn fragrance color is matched with royal blue, and the dress is not only vulgar, but also old-fashioned, barely considered a failure; As for the jewelry on Mrs. Chengenbo's head, the female officials around her are more decent than her.

Of course, what Princess Fuqing looked down on the most was that this Mrs. Cheng Enbo was stunned when she looked at Yonghe, a lady of all people, and she didn't even have this bit of kung fu to nourish her qi.

Princess Fuqing's light cough finally brought Mrs. Cheng Enbo back to her senses, and she realized her faux pas and hurriedly bowed: "The courtiers participate in Her Royal Highness Princess Fuqing, Your Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an." ”

With the invitation given by Princess Fuqing, Mrs. Cheng Enbo easily recognized Princess Fuqing. Moreover, Princess Fuqing's eyebrows are also somewhat similar to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Princess Fuqing's cold tone revealed the arrogance and arrogance of the golden branches and jade leaves: "Mrs. Cheng Enbo get up." ”

"The courtiers thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess." Mrs. Cheng Enbo stood up from the ground, she straightened the hem of her skirt, carefully looked at Princess Fuqing's face and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know who this noble person next to you is......"

"Oh?" Princess Fuqing shook the fan in her hand, and picked the corner of her lips with a cold expression: "This is the county lord of Yonghe, who came with the car of the palace." ”

Mrs. Cheng Enbo had a "groan" in her heart, is this the county lord of Yonghe who was divorced by His Royal Highness the Prince? is actually a peerless beauty who is even more beautiful than the crown princess!

Mrs. Cheng Enbo suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and hurriedly curtsied: "The courtiers have seen the county lord of Yonghe. ”

"Madame, please." Compared with Princess Fuqing's arrogance, arrogance, coldness, and domineering, Xie Yanhe's attitude is much more relaxed.

"It's long overdue, I hope Madame will forgive me." Xie Yanhe said with a smile.

"Where, county lord, you came just in time." Mrs. Cheng Enbo humbly spoke, and she said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the county lord, please come with me." ”

Hearing this, Princess Fuqing took Xie Yanhe's arm and casually followed Mrs. Cheng Enbo's side.

Princess Fuqing's actions made Mrs. Cheng Enbo secretly taken aback.

In the past few days in Beijing, Cheng Enbo spent a lot of money to collect the news of all the families in the capital, especially the golden branch and jade leaf in front of him.

According to the news that her husband heard, Princess Fuqing is even more favored in front of His Majesty than His Royal Highness the Prince. Her Royal Highness the princess is arrogant, domineering, and has no dust, and it is rumored that she is extremely difficult to get along with.

But the relationship between this golden branch and jade leaf and the county lord of Yonghe is so good, and even the same car and arm swim together, which makes people think deeply!

The three of them have their own hearts, and they wear flowers and willows all the way.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo pressed the turmoil in her heart, and introduced the two of them to the scenery of the garden with a smile.

Princess Fuqing looked at one of the open halls half-lying on the lake, the copper bells hanging from the corners of the eaves, and said slowly: "This mansion given by my father is not bad, it can be seen that my father attaches great importance to Cheng Enbo. With Chen Wei's experience, Cheng Enbo should not live up to the emperor's grace. ”

Princess Fuqing didn't open any pot, and Mrs. Cheng Enbo suddenly felt the strong malice contained in Princess Fuqing's words.
