Chapter 934: The Duchess of the Kingdom
Just as she was talking to Lu Wei like this, Shi Qingqian caught a glimpse of a woman in a big golden robe coming over from the afterglow.
"Oops! Princess Yan, I haven't seen it in a long time! The person who walked over was the Duchess of Zhuang Guo who was full of joy.
I saw that the woman in front of me was fifty or sixty years old, with a slightly obvious old age, wearing a bright yellow butterfly pattern makeup satin sweetheart neck gauze with bright gold thread embroidery on it, and wearing a sprinkled butterfly pattern Bixia Luo Caiyun brocade of the same color. The hair was carefully curled, a bunch of beeswax hairpins with phoenix wings were inserted, and the rest of the jewelry treasures were innumerable, enough to see the joy in his heart.
Shi Qingqian had only seen the Duchess of this country once at a large banquet, when she was still a little doll, and she didn't have much impression of her, but when she saw this dressed woman, she didn't need to be introduced, and she could recognize who this person was.
She lightly blessed the Duchess of the Kingdom and said with a smile: "The Duchess of the Kingdom Jin An, I didn't expect you to remember the younger generation!" β
"No, you were a chubby meat doll back then, and I liked it tightly!"
Shi Qing smiled shyly, and took the prepared gift from Lu Wei's hand: "Duchess Guo, your third brother is really promising, I have heard that the prince has been raised, and I have long wanted to come and ask for a cup of happy wine to eat." As he spoke, he shoved the brocade box in his hand into the hands of the Duchess of the Kingdom.
The necessary procedures still have to be followed, Shi Qingqian had prepared a series of speeches early, and he almost recited them day and night, and now he is just saying them one by one according to the words he recited that day.
The Duchess also pretended to excuse herself twice, "Oh, if you eat wine, you will eat wine, can I still ask the princess to eat?" No need to bring any money! β
"That's not going to work," Shi Qingqian pushed the box back again, "There happens to be an unopened Zihao pen at home, I can't use it like this, and I am only worthy of the third lang of the lady's family when I think about it." β
Hearing this, the Duchess of Guo was even more happy, and the corners of her mouth were almost listed to her temples, and she no longer continued to excuse herself, but turned her hand and asked the maid next to her to put it away carefully.
After the little maid retreated with the brocade box blessing, the Duchess of Guo affectionately grabbed Shi Qingqi's arm, "Princess Yan, I have prepared an excellent seat for you early in the morning, whether it is listening to the sons fighting poems, or watching archery and throwing pots, they all have a wide field of vision." β
Shi Qingqian understands that the Duchess of Guo is so "friendly" with herself, not because of her childhood relationship, in the final analysis, it is not because of her high position and above the Duchess that she treats herself so familiarly, so as to show her dignity.
She smiled and followed the Duchess through the spacious corridor. In the middle of the garden were built three or five tall pavilions, spacious and spacious, one of which was enough to accommodate the little twenty people, and the seat in the center was reserved for the noble person.
Walking along the corridor, Shi Qingqian heard the sound from the small platform on the side, turned his head to look, and saw a group of men dressed as Confucian scholars through the translucent smoke and sand barrier, and were chanting poems in full swing behind them.
"Look, it's all the three boys of our family," the Duchess of Guo saw Shi Qingqian's gaze deflected, and was secretly proud in her heart, "In the early years, I said that he shouldn't pay too much attention to interacting with people, but he just wanted to do a poetry meeting with some poems. β
Shi Qingqian squeezed out a smile that was as kind as possible: "It's also a good thing to be sociable......"
People are self-aware, and obviously the Duchess is not.
Fortunately, Zhuang Saburo was moved, and now he is willing to agree to call his friends and fox friends to his home as guests, and by the way, show his poetry and writing skills, if this Zhuang Xiaogongzi is off the list at that time, I am afraid that the Duchess of the Kingdom will scold again: "You are told to study more diligently on weekdays, but you refuse, but go to mix with those sour shows in the market who know how to drag sour poems!" β
Shi Qingqian also felt that he only knew that the wind and the moon might not be able to become a big thing, and it was only the ninth-rate people in the rivers and lakes who slept in the willows, and they didn't know how much dirty they had caused, after all, they were still a long way from Mr. Liu Yong's level.
Seeing that Shi Qingqian had no temper, he only knew what he said nodding his head and agreeing, and the Duchess also felt that there was no taste, so she smashed her mouth and took Shi Qingqian to the pavilion to do it safely, and then turned her face and greeted the rest of the ladies and county lords with a smile.
Shi Qingqian exhaled a long breath, and the white tea served by the female envoy was also drunkβthis journey was longer than expected.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I had time to take a good look at the environment I was in. I saw that the pavilion was placed with various colors of embroidered cigarette stools, tea cups, and the small plates of colored porcelain were neatly stacked with this pastry fruit, which looked very delicious.
As a translucent smoke gauze tent hung at the back, it separates the women's seat from the back of the poem, but the distance is not far, and the voice behind can still be clearly heard. The front is vast, and there are horseback riders and archers in the spacious area, and there are many people gathered under the big locust tree at the southeast foot, and I heard that there are playing pot throwing there.
There were already a few ladies sitting in the banquet, and when they looked at Shi Qingqi, they recognized Grandma Jiao first, and when they saw Grandma Jiao also seeing themselves, they couldn't help but smile and walked over, and sat directly next to Shi Qingqian: "Princess Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you lose so much weight!" β
Shi Qingqian glared at Grandma Jiao, and secretly scolded that you haven't seen me for so long, can't you say something nice to me? But he still smiled helplessly: "Alas, it's not a little girl at home, it's really grinding!" β
As a woman who has given birth to three children, Grandma Jiao understands very well what giving birth to a woman brings, and glanced at Shi Qingqian with sympathy, reached out and gently hugged her arm: "You too, you should concentrate on taking care of yourself is the most important thing, don't worry about the rest......"
"The rest of the things" can only be the reputation of the Yan Wangfu now.
Although no one has made any efforts to mention Su Yixue's matter, but after all, this is a pimple buried in people's hearts, although Shi Qingqian can't say that he can't eat or sleep for this matter, he has not been less worried about this, but he has to pretend to be light and light on the surface, for fear of making people say: Look at it, she has a weak heart!
Just as he was about to speak with a smile, he heard the voice of the Duchess on the side: "Princess Ning, take a seat!" I've got the best seat for you! β
