Chapter Thirty-Six: Fresh Clothes and Angry Horses
After all, at the end of the year, you come and go, it's not lively, plus Duanmu Cang and Duanmu He are all at home in the Yongding Hou Mansion, so there are a lot of young talents who come to the Yongding Hou Mansion.
Duanmu Zi was punished by Princess Fu Zhen that day, the two old men with swollen cheeks, and the overlapping palm prints were purple and red, and he was busy covering his face in Xianyun Pavilion every day, where would he have time to join in the excitement.
Because of this, Duanmu Qing is also happy to have a few days of leisure, but every time he sees Duanmu Cang, he inevitably sees his frozen face.
After two lifetimes of disturbances, Duanmu Qing has long learned to see what he wants to see, and his ears to listen to what he wants to hear, everything is mutual, since you don't like me, I really don't need to die and beg to like you.
On this day, when I came out of Rongxi Hall, I was walking to Wen Yaxuan, and I didn't want to meet a person head-on, but when I raised my eyes, I saw a pair of playful phoenix eyes.
"The Great Prince." Curtsied, Duanmu Qing's reaction was flat and modest, as if the two were just nodding their heads.
Han Ling was dissatisfied, and raised the wine jar in his hand, "How about drinking two glasses of newly obtained pear blossoms from the emperor?" ”
Cai Wei couldn't help but be very annoyed, even if Duanmu Qing hadn't reached the end of the house, and he was in the mansion, it was not rude to see a guest like him, but where was there anyone who invited the eldest lady with wine?
"The things of the eldest prince have always been very valuable, and I am afraid that I can't afford to drink them."
Hearing this, Han Lingyan instead evoked a shallow smile, just because he originally saw Duanmu Qing's attitude, he obviously didn't want to have anything to do with him, but now he said a word, and immediately sarcastically remembered the last time he used the plum blossom dew Kuang Duanmu He Aoyun Sword.
"It's okay, it's okay," but he still pretended not to understand, and said with a smile, "Isn't it just that the pear flower is white, and it's worth a few dollars." ”
Before he could answer, Duanmuhe walked over, "Big sister is here!" We're having a barbecue over there, so why don't you come with your big sister! ”
Duanmu Qing couldn't help but be surprised, what is this? Han Lingxi was originally a person who had no sense of proportion, and his two eyes only cared about eating and drinking, why did the second brother also say this?
"Princess Fu Zhen is also coming, she is making a lot of noise, you can hurry up and help us watch a little." Duanmuhe looked at her expression, naturally knew what she was thinking, and showed some embarrassment on his face.
"The Nine Emperors are here too?" Duanmu Qing was surprised, this person ran too hard to run the Yongding Marquis Mansion!
"yes!" Duanmu He smiled, "You asked Lu Xi to come over and simply invited Su'er too, just now Princess Fu Zhen kept shouting to see her!" ”
Having said that, Duanmu Qing didn't want to excuse himself, but when he saw Han Lingxi who was laughing loudly, he was a little unhappy inexplicably.
Guangluxuan is next to Wen Yaxuan, the doors are opened on all sides, and the glass windows are installed on the door, and the southeast side is a large area of water, and the field of vision is very broad.
followed in, and Duanmu Qing found that there were still a lot of people who came, in addition to Duanmu Cangduanmuhe and Han Lingxi, Zhao Yufeng, Zhao Yuxuan, Zhao Yuhong, Ning Changqing, the third son of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Chen Jiannan, the eldest young master of the Hussar General's Mansion.
There are also six princesses Jingxian, the county lord of Anning, and the county lord of Mingyang.
Seeing her come in, Fu Zhen hurriedly wiped her mouth, and ran over in three steps and two steps, "Sister Qing, I was about to call someone to invite you!" What about Su'er? ”
I don't know if this princess is familiar with a real person or what, two days ago I came to Yongding Hou's Mansion to play, and when I left, her title changed from eldest lady to sister Qing.
Fortunately, it was only a small private party at this time, and all the half-adults present were not married, so it didn't matter if they ignored the rules at this time.
The sixth princess Jingxian is from Song Jieyu, although Song Jieyu is not from a high background, but she has given birth to the princess and princess, and now her status is not low, these six princesses have a brother of the eighth prince, although she is not as good as Fu Zhen in the palace, but it is not too bad.
But she is as her name suggests, when she saw Duanmu Qing coming, she just smiled and nodded, and she didn't join in the excitement, sitting quietly and watching everyone play, elegant and quiet.
The county lord of Anning is the daughter of Princess Zhaoyang, because Princess Zhaoyang is the sister of the current emperor, and the emperor is several years old, and the relationship between the two has been very good since childhood.
Although Princess Zhaoyang is no longer there, because of the love between the two sisters and brothers, the concubine Jingyang Hou is not like other concubines, he has no real power, but has become a commander in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and most of the brothers are officials in the court.
This is also unique among the royal family.
It's just a pity that in the year the emperor ascended the throne, Princess Zhaoyang passed away, leaving only such a daughter, who is now only fourteen years old.
In addition to Princess Zhaoyang, Jingyang Hou has no other women, and he has been single for so many years.
When the emperor thought of his sister, he loved An Ning no less than the princesses in the palace, and he didn't know much better than many unpowerful princesses.
But this is not only her good luck, but also her bad luck, which has never been blessed with misfortune.
It is precisely because of such undisciplined favor that she has developed an arrogant and domineering personality, self-centered in everything, and does not take into account the feelings of others at all.
I remember that in her previous life, she was married to the fifth prince Zhao Yuxuan, but it is said that the lord of Anning seems to have always cared about a person, but later did not marry, and the marriage has been procrastinating, and she did not marry until she was eighteen years old, which became a piece of the emperor's heart.
At a critical time, Concubine Shu performed a good show of talent and beauty in front of the emperor, which made the emperor fall in love and marry her and Zhao Yuxuan.
It's just a pity, it's still the same as in his previous life, what Zhao Yuxuan likes is Duanmu Zi after all, so how can An Ning, who has always been arrogant, endure this breath, and Duanmu Zi, who is the concubine of the third prince, can't move, so he is powerful in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
It is said that when the last five princes were defeated, they strangled her with their own hands and had been picked out by the emperor.
Looking at these young men and girls in front of him, Duanmu Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he followed the path of his previous life, who would have thought that a few years later, they would face each other as a different face.
The county lord of Mingyang is the daughter of Princess Rongde, Princess Rongde is the daughter of the queen mother, she is gentle and polite, and has always had a gentle reputation.
It's just that Duanmu Qing can't remember what her final fate was, maybe because of her character, maybe because she was never involved in the dispute over the heir.
After saluting everyone present, Duanmu Qing replied to Fu Zhen's words, "When did you come over, I don't know, Su'er is in Wumo Pavilion, and the second brother has already sent someone to call." ”
Fu Zhen pulled Duanmu Qing to sit beside him, pouted and said: "We came secretly, it just so happened that I saw the mystery of the ninth brother yesterday, so I begged him to bring me, he said that it was inconvenient for me to be a girl, so I pulled the sixth sister, and the ninth brother had no choice, so he discussed and called An Ning and Mingyang to come."
Who knew that there were more people and it was lively, but I didn't know where to go, it was because I thought of you and Su'er, so I came here. ”
Except for Duanmu Cang and Zhao Yuxuan, none of the people present knew what happened in the Yongding Marquis Mansion two days ago, and it was very strange to see Fu Zhen and Duanmu Qing so familiar.
An Ning has never taken anyone seriously, and others are mostly flattering when they see her, but Fu Zhen is very popular with the emperor because her birthday is the same as the emperor, and she is the first in the princess, so she doesn't hold her like everyone else, and she looks down on her a little.
Who knew that today she would see that she was so uncommon to Duanmu Qing, and then looked at Duanmu Qing carefully.
The more I look at it, the more I feel unpleasant, not necessarily very beautiful, there is no dazzling jewelry on the whole body, and the face is not as ruddy as others, but a little sickly, a dark blue satin skirt, which looks even more childish, I really can't see anything outstanding.
It's just that this makes An Ning more and more uncomfortable, so he smiled and said: "It has always been said that the young lady of the Marquis of Yongding is sinking fish and falling geese, which can be called the first beauty in Xiqi, and on the birthday of the queen mother, I happened to have something to do, and I couldn't catch up, and I couldn't catch up with Miss Duanmu's face, I regretted it, and when I saw it today, it was really so, and it was considered to be what I wanted." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, as long as anyone who had heard about the events of that day knew that the so-called first beauty in Xiqi was given to Duanmu Zi by a good person, was An Ning wrong or what?
But even if it's really not clear, now that he sees Duanmu Qing, he should know that he was mistaken.
But looking at Duanmuqing's appearance, even the few women present did not stand out.
On brightness, not as good as tranquility; On affinity, it is not as good as Mingyang; On elegance, it is not as good as elegance; Even if it is about innocence and cuteness, it is not as good as Fu Zhen.
Zhao Yuxuan had long been dissatisfied with Duanmu Qing because of what happened in the Qiu Tian Spiritual Hall last time, and when he heard this at this moment, he was the first to jump out and smile: "An Ning, you are mistaken, Miss Duanmu is indeed not an ordinary person, but if you talk about appearance, it is impossible to be the first beauty in Xiqi." ”
"Huh?" An Ning still pretended to be stupid, "I saw that there was a nose and a face outside, and when I saw Miss Duanmu today, she was indeed beautiful and beautiful, and I thought it was ......."
Duanmu Qing smiled slightly, and said peacefully: "The lord of Anning doesn't know, that day, the queen's birthday banquet, the Yongding Marquis Mansion was not attended by me alone, the sister Duanmu Zi is beautiful and beautiful, and the dancing posture is moving, which is rumored to be the first beauty in Xiqi." ”
An Ning looked very surprised, "Could it be that your sister is even more beautiful than you?" ”
"Humph!" Zhao Yuxuan snorted coldly, "Where is she worthy of Miss Zi?" It's so far away, isn't there a cloud in the Buddha's language? Born from the heart, so ......"
