As the county lord of Yunling said, on the second day, Shen Shu received a post from the Chengen Mansion inviting her to participate in the flower banquet.

The post was specially sent by the Duchess of Cheng'en, and it can be regarded as a face to the courtesy of King Yi's life-saving benefactor.

At the same time, the scandal between King Yi and the woman of the Xiao family in the capital is also very loud -

"I heard that Gonggong Huai took away dozens of sets of spring clothes from Tianyi Pavilion, and picked out more than a dozen sets of hairpin jewelry from Duobao Pavilion, from the size of the clothes to the hairpin style, all of which were worn by Miss Xiao Wu at her age."

"Now it has been spread all over the capital, saying that His Royal Highness King Yi threw tens of thousands of gold to send the Xiao family girl to the spring banquet, which directly led to the fact that the spring clothes set by the nobles in the capital could not be made, and now they are looking for embroidery girls everywhere to make new clothes."

"It is also said that in recent days, King Yi has frequently entered the palace in order to let the saint give marriage. Everyone is admiring, His Royal Highness King Yi is really either not close to women, or he is a spoiled wife. In the past few days, the whole Chengen Mansion has been smiling like flowers on their faces. ”

"The happy event of the Chengen Mansion can be more than this, the Queen Mother ordered to choose concubines for the prince, King Yi and King Rui from among the marriageable nobles in the capital. coincided with this spring banquet, the queen mother not only assigned Father-in-law Tang to go, but also asked Father-in-law Tang to bring a court painter to paint the noble girl with outstanding appearance at the spring banquet and present it to the palace. ”

"Yes, this spring banquet in the Cheng'en Mansion, not only the ladies and nobles with heads and faces in the capital will go, but even the sons and daughters of the various mansions will also go. People from all over the government are saying that after this Spring Banquet, I am afraid that in the next two years, there will be many happy events in the capital. ”

Shen Shu was carrying the spring clothes for the banquet, while listening to the green peach chattering about the gossip in the streets and alleys.

From last night, she found out that even the Yunling County Lord misunderstood what personal relationship she had with King Yi-

Now that she heard the scandal between King Yi and the girl of the Xiao family, no matter what her mood was, she put a smile on her face.

Lest you be surrounded by the girl who looks down on a lot of books, and then talk nonsense.

And yet—

"Girl, if you want to cry, cry out. With such a forced smile, the slave and maid really felt uncomfortable looking at it. If my wife knew that you had suffered such a grievance in the capital, she would be so sad. ”

Shen Shu: ......

It was the first time she found out that her own maid was stubborn about what she had decided, and she really couldn't pull back eight horses.

"Green Peach, if you dare to be in front of me again, I will ask my brother to send you back to Yunjiang tomorrow." She said in a deep voice.

Seeing that her girl was angry for the first time, Green Peach instantly closed her mouth tightly in fright, opened her eyes wide and nodded.

In her heart, she was even more convinced that Shen Shu was really heartbroken.

When Shen Shu saw her like this, her heart softened, and she said softly: "The colors of these spring clothes are too plain, not suitable for the spring banquet, a few days ago I asked you to take the cloud brocade cut by Tianyi Pavilion, you go and see if it is done." ”

Green Peach hurriedly responded, and retreated in a proper manner.

When she got into the carriage and left the house, she was stopped by an acquaintance as soon as she left Fu'an Fang in the direction of Tianyi Pavilion.

"Green Peach Girl, I've finally waited for you, but you want to go to Tianyi Pavilion? I've got something here, and I'm going to ask the girl for a little favor......"

*

Two days later, it was the day when the Cheng'en Mansion held a spring banquet.

Shen Shu got up early in the morning, and under the Zhang Luo of a few peaches, she put on the newly made spring clothes of Tianyi Pavilion.

Inside, she wore a crimson cloud brocade jacket, a light moon white coat, and a gauze skirt with soft blood teeth.

Spread out layer by layer, the color scheme is neither ostentatious nor overly plain.

On the contrary, because of the extremely exquisite materials, there is a kind of low-key luxury beauty.

Huang Tao put on makeup for Shen Shu, and deliberately pasted an orchid on her forehead, adding a touch of alienation and nobility to her originally delicate face, like a fairy who fell into the mortal dust.

"Girl, this dress is so beautiful, this time Tianyi Pavilion really worked hard." Midori praised with a smile.

She picked out a white jade carved orchid hairpin from the jewelry box, and the hairpin was in Shen Shu's hair.

The delicate carving is like a real orchid, blooming in the hair.

Shen Shu was slightly stunned when she saw the orchid hairpin.

"Is this a new one? I've never seen it before. She asked, confused.

"Of course it'......"

Green Peach was halfway through speaking, thinking of what her own girl warned her yesterday, she said, "Yes...... Target. ”

Shen Shu didn't doubt him, picked up the prepared tulle, hung it on his ears, and covered half of his face.

"Let's go."

In the past two days, Shen Shu thought about it, but she really didn't want to put a palm-sized rouge scar on her face, and according to Chu Zhan's bad idea, she went to confirm the "faceless ugly girl" he spread everywhere.

After all, a lie has to be fulfilled with countless lies.

She can't live with a scar on her face for the rest of her life.

However, Shen Shu also knows-

This Cheng'en Mansion Flower Banquet gathered all the dignitaries and officials in the capital.

Even if she is unwilling to take advantage of the power of King Yi, as the "life-saving benefactor" of His Royal Highness King Yi, her appearance will definitely become the object of everyone's attention.

In this situation, she should not be too high-profile, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

It can't be too cowardly, making people feel that they can be bullied at will.

Therefore, covering half of her face can not only make people not have to care too much about her appearance, but also facilitate keeping a distance from others.

In this way, Shen Shu prepared to stop, and took the green peach, yellow peach, and the shadow guard Feiyu hired by 1,000 taels of silver to meet the eldest princess of Yongning.

Although the eldest princess of Yongning is not the sister of her mother, she is the most favored daughter of the first emperor when he was alive.

His mother, Concubine Qi, was older than the Queen Mother and entered the palace early, and when the Queen Mother entered the palace, she took care of the Queen Mother.

He once gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the first emperor. Both sons were brave and good at fighting, and fought with the first emperor in all directions, but died young due to illness.

After the death of the first emperor, Concubine Qi left home to pray for the first emperor.

Because of this, the eldest princess of Yongning was courteous by the Queen Mother and Jinshang.

Since the death of the horse, the eldest princess of Yongning has been worshipping the Buddha at home all year round and does not ask about the world.

However, everyone in the entire capital knows that when the eldest princess of Yongning was young, she had a straight temperament, she was a violent temper, she could do it without moving her mouth, and she was most tired of those who said three points in one sentence and left seven points.

Therefore, on weekdays, as long as the eldest princess of Yongning does not go out, few people dare to come to the eldest princess's mansion.

Because when Shen Shu came to Beijing before, Huai'an personally brought a letter from King Yi to visit, and Shen Shu's age was similar to that of the lord of Yunling, Yunling said a lot of good things about Shen Shu in front of the eldest princess in the past few days.

The eldest princess of Yongning's attitude towards Shen Shu was quite polite.

After a few polite words, the eldest princess of Yongning took Yun Ling and Shen Shu to board the car of the eldest princess's mansion and drove towards the Chengen Mansion.
