Chapter Forty-Six: The Storm Rises

It was only said that the county lord of Zhaohua bluntly said that he had a good impression of He Yunzhi, and he couldn't help but impress Shaoyu, so he smiled and said: "The county lord is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, which is extraordinary, and the courtiers admire it very much." ”

Shao Yu said again: "In two days, the princess's flower party, the Monroe sisters will participate, and then the county lord will be able to meet them." ”

Unexpectedly, the county lord sighed and said: "The reason why the county lord came to find Miss Pei is because you are the eldest brother's sweetheart, and the county lord thinks that Miss Pei is a reliable person, so he confides in you." ”

Shao Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the courtiers will be tight-lipped and never let a third party know." ”

The county lord of Zhaohua was still a little sad and said: "The county lord doesn't even know the mother's thoughts, if the mother knows about it, she will definitely scold me." ”

Shao Yu said thoughtfully: "Does the county lord need help from his courtiers?" The courtiers should do their best to share the worries and solve problems for the county lord. ”

The eyes of the county lord of Zhaohua suddenly sparkled and said: "Really, the county lord only wants to know He Zhonglang's intentions, whether he is also interested in the county lord, and the county lord is only afraid that He Zhonglang has no intention of being with me." ”

Shao Yu smiled faintly and said: "This is easy to say, it is wrapped up in the courtiers, and it will definitely be explored for the county lord." ”

He also said: "The county lord has a noble status and such a beautiful appearance, don't be presumptuous." In this Jingling City, I don't know how many good men are there for the county lord! ”

After hearing this, the county lord of Zhaohua smiled and said: "When Miss Pei said this, the county lord of this county is much more comfortable, no wonder the eldest brother likes you!" The lord of this county likes you very much, too! ”

The county lord of Zhaohua said again: "In two days, go to the princess's mansion, you and the girl of the He family will stay by the county lord's side, don't run around." ”

Shao Yu smiled: "Then thank the county lord first, the courtiers can't ask for it." ”

After sending off the county lord of Zhaohua, Shao Yu continued to pack his things and prepare to go home. Shangguan Qingyan still hasn't come back, and Shao Yu can't help but be a little worried.

But in this Jingling City, Shangguan Qingyan only has Xiao Zhan, a relative, and Xiao Zhan went to Xiyuan with His Majesty, and Shao Yu is now helpless.

Shao Yu took Cui'er and Liu'er back to the house in Zhuangyuan Lane, and as soon as they entered the door, a little girl greeted them and said, "The girl is back, it's really a coincidence, and the master has just arrived." ”

As soon as Shao Yu heard that his father was coming, he took three steps and made two steps to the flower hall, and when he entered the flower hall, he saw that his father Pei Zhong was drinking tea in the hall.

Shao Yu smiled: "Daddy, you're here!" ”

Pei Zhong smiled and said, "Yes, your brother is about to get married, so won't Daddy come." ”

At this time, a woman came over, about in her early thirties, with a very beautiful appearance, only to see her bow down and salute: "Meet the girl, girl Jin'an." ”

Seeing that Shao Yu was slightly stunned, Pei Zhong said: "She is Xiu'e, her father's newly accepted concubine, and Yueniang will call her Aunt Xiu in the future." ”

Shao Yu hurriedly said: "Aunt Xiu doesn't need to be polite, she will be a family in the future." ”

Pei Zhong nodded and said with a serious face: "I heard Mama Zhang say, Yueniang, you don't live at home recently, but live in General Xiao's house, what's going on?" ”

Shao Yu hurriedly told his father Pei Zhong about the ins and outs of the matter, the causes and consequences, and said: "I don't know if my father has heard of any powerful people in the rivers and lakes who have the surname Shangguan, and his daughter is in General Xiao's mansion with this Shangguan girl as her companion, and Shangguan's sister's father is very powerful in martial arts." ”

Pei Zhong pondered for a while and said, "There is one, but it is said that he was killed by the enemy ten years ago. ”

"Since you live with this Shangguan girl, your father's heart is much more steady, and my father is afraid that General Xiao will coax you."

Shao Yu Zhengse said: "Brother Xiao is also for the good of his daughter, and you also know his personality, father." ”

Pei Zhong nodded, and said, "Why don't you see Lian'er?" When my father came to Jingling, my old friend was still asking about Lian'er's situation, saying that Lian'er only wrote a letter back after entering Beijing, and her family was very worried. ”

Shao Yu hesitated for a moment, and then told Lian'er and the prince of the county, and Pei Zhong said when he heard it: "Confused, is the concubine of this wealthy nobleman so easy to do?" An inadvertent life is at stake. ”

"How can this be done, because my father doesn't agree, where does Lian'er live now? Daddy took her back and sent her back to her hometown in Jeju. ”

Shao Yu said: "It's all to blame for her daughter not taking a good look at her, but Lian'er now has a body, how can the prince of the county agree to send Lian'er back?" ”

Pei Zhong sighed and said, "Daddy, how can I explain to Lian'er and her father here?" This good girl's family has become someone else's concubine, how is this good? ”

Shao Yu said thoughtfully: "In this matter, we first have to ask Lian'er what she means, to see what she thinks?" We can't help but say, let's tie Lian'er back! ”

Pei Zhong nodded, and Shao Yu said again: "Besides, the prince of the county is not in the mansion now, and he and his brother accompanied His Majesty to Xiyuan to hunt." ”

Pei Zhong had no choice but to say: "Okay, then let's wait for the prince of this county to come back." ”

The days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to participate in the princess flower party, the girls who participated in the princess flower party were all from wealthy families, and Shao Yu didn't dare to dress up too dazzlingly.

If he can, Shao Yuzhen doesn't want to go at all. She really couldn't figure out why this princess would post to her, was she just curious? But Shao Yu's heart was full of uneasiness.

After Shaoyu finished dressing, he took Cui'er, Mengluo and Luluo sisters to the princess's mansion in a carriage.

The princess's mansion is really very magnificent, this is a five-entry courtyard, there is a gate, a hall, a hall and an inner courtyard, there is a large wall in front of the door, and there is a rockery and a garden pool in the east of the house.

The entrance is a zigzag verandah, the stone under the steps spreads into a road, meandering, extending in all directions, pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, staggered.

The stream flows under the bridge and runs into the distance, and although it is already November and the weather is getting colder, the flowers in the princess's mansion are still full of beauty and beauty.

This camellia has already failed at this time, but the camellia in the princess's mansion is still in full bloom, and the big petals at the mouth of the bowl are colorful, which is amazing.

Moreover, there are charcoal pots in the flower hall and the pavilion, and people do not feel cold in it, but feel very warm and comfortable. At this time, the garden is full of girls in twos and threes, chatting while admiring the flowers, and there is a crisp laughter from time to time.

Shao Yu is with Mengluo and Luluo, and the county lord of Zhaohua is not among these girls, presumably with the princess.

Shao Yu looked around, only to see a girl who was very outstanding, only to see that she was wearing a gold butterfly wearing a flower cloud brocade jacket, a scattered flower pleated skirt, a red brocade cloak, a black hair pulled into a Lingyun bun, a red coral crocus hairpin on the cloud temples, a jasper hairpin, and ruby drop-shaped earrings on her ears.

This girl looked arrogant and disdainful, and a group of girls surrounded her in the middle, really standing out from the crowd, and the stars held the moon. Shao Yu also looked at it twice, but the girl suddenly found that Shao Yu was looking at her, and turned her graceful neck to the side like a swan.

At this time, I only heard a shrill voice say: "Princess Changle has arrived, the county lord of Zhaohua has arrived, and the county lord of Gaoyang has arrived." ”

These girls knelt on the ground and saluted, and said in unison: "Meet Princess Changle, the county lord of Zhaohua, and the county lord of Gaoyang." ”

Princess Changle waved her hand and said, "Excuse me, get up." ”

"Princess Xie Changle."

Who knew that this Princess Changle suddenly commanded a few words to the maid beside her, and the maid nodded and left. After a while, the maid walked up to Shao Yu and Sister Mengluo and said, "Miss He and Miss Pei, our princess is invited, please follow the slave maid." ”

The three of them came to the princess's side and saluted first: "The courtiers see the princess, the county lord of Zhaohua and the county lord of Gaoyang. ”

The county lord of Gaoyang seemed to be very disdainful, but Princess Changle said with a smile: "Zhaohua, these are He Shilang's two daughters and Pei Zhonglang's sister Miss Pei, right?" ”

The county lord of Zhaohua smiled slightly and said, "Back to the princess's words, but it's them." ”

The princess smiled: "What a good girl, all of them are smart, and I like them when I see them." ”

Meng Luo smiled and said: "The princess is the best in the world, and the courtiers are really dwarfed in front of the princess, and they are not worth mentioning. ”

Princess Changle smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you are Pei Zhonglang's fiancΓ©e, right?" ”

Meng Luo smiled shyly and said, "It's the courtier, the princess praised it!" ”

Princess Changle smiled and stopped talking, and then pointed to a girl in the distance and said, "Hey, whose family is this girl?" Such a beautiful and wonderful person, this palace has never seen it. ”

The county lord of Gaoyang beside him hurriedly replied: "This girl is the youngest daughter of the Dingguo family, and the queen mother also likes her very much, and she is married to the son of the king of the East China Sea." ”

Princess Changle's face changed slightly after hearing this, and then she smiled again and said, "Go and call her to the side of the main palace, and the main palace will take a good look." ”

Shao Yu was confused when she listened from the sidelines, she didn't know who the young daughter of Dingguo Gong was? I'm also very curious about who this East China Sea King is?

After a while, the maid beside Princess Changle brought a girl over, and Shao Yu saw that this was not the girl who was held by the stars just now.

The girl walked up to the princess, bowed and said, "The courtiers meet the princess, princess Wan'an." ”

At this time, Shao Yu's sleeve was pulled by Cui'er beside him, Shao Yu turned his head and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with Cui'er?" ”

Cui'er whispered in Shaoyu's ear, "Someone secretly put something on the girl just now. Saying that, he secretly let Shao Yu take a look, it was a red gold plum blossom gemstone crested hairpin, with fine workmanship and very good color.

Shao Yu smiled coldly, she knew that it was not so simple to come to the flower banquet today. Before this feast began, some people were already eager to plant blame.
