Chapter 378: Hypocrisy
Pei Geng said "hey", and suddenly said, "Why can't it be compared?" Although I'm not as good-looking as Ruan Ruan, but we can be regarded as growing up wearing a pair of pants, not a brother is better than a brother, how can you give up from the beginning to the end and turn your face ruthlessly? ”
"Pei Dazhuang!"
Ji Zhao was suddenly annoyed.
What is the beginning of chaos and the end of abandonment?
What is the ruthlessness of turning the face?
Can't speak!
Pei Geng laughed, and Su Ruan and the others next to him couldn't help laughing.
Although Pei Geng and Ji Zhao were merciless to each other, they could see that they had a very good relationship.
Many people in the octagonal pavilion looked towards this side, most of them were talking about Shen Tangxi and Princess Aya'an, and occasionally they were looking at Su Ruan.
Pei Geng and Su Ruan had no intention of becoming someone else's attention, so they simply came out of the pavilion and walked outside to the side slope to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the flowers under the mountain, and Xie Huan and Xie Jinyun met the little sisters who were good friends, so they also said to Su Ruan and talked to them.
When there were no outsiders around, Ji Nianhua couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, ...... Brother Shen and Princess Aya'an?"
She's not an eventful person, but this fact is very rare.
Princess Ayaan is about to meet her, and there are indeed rumors in the palace that she wants to recruit a horse for Princess Ayaan, but it has always been just a rumor.
Da Chen couldn't help but add his son-in-law to the court, but he didn't include a horse.
In order not to make the emperor's relatives chaotic, the concubine cannot enter the court as an official, and can only receive idle positions, so once he becomes a concubine, it is equivalent to cutting off the official career.
Although there are many people in Beijing who want to climb the princess and become a concubine, not everyone is willing to ask for this honor.
Some sons who are capable or talented and have outstanding family backgrounds are afraid of this.
Shen Tangxi is the son of the prime minister, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to recruit the royal family, but now looking at the posture of him and Princess Aya'an, coupled with the prince's ridicule just now, how can it seem like it is about to be decided?
Su Ruan was also a little curious.
She had heard Xie Qingheng and Qi Wenfu say before that the four princes under the queen's knees had no intention of seizing power, and they were also extremely respectful to the prince.
But if Princess Aya'an recruits Shen Tangxi as a concubine, the Shen family will be tied to the four princes, plus the in-laws of the Xie family and some relationships between the court and the central government, isn't she afraid of speculation?
Ji Zhao thought about it when he heard this, and then said a little vaguely: "The emperor likes Ah Tang very much." ”
Su Ruan's eyes moved slightly.
Ji Nianhua is also thoughtful.
Seeing the three of them like this, Pei Geng said directly: "They are all their own people, and there is nothing bad to say about this." ”
"A few years ago, when Princess Ayaan went out of the palace to play with the queen's cousin, she met a few people who were not long-eyed, and it was Ah Tang who happened to pass by and saved them."
"Ah Tang sent people back to the palace gate and left, but who knew that Princess Aya'an fell in love with Ah Tang at first sight."
"This thing can't be done by reason, but Ah Tang has no intention of becoming an official, and he is not ready to enter the court as an official, the emperor has less scruples, and the emperor has always been a little sorry for Ah Tang and Shen Xiang, so he secretly allowed this matter."
"It's just that the queen doesn't like Ah Tang, and personally begged the emperor to point out another person to the princess."
Pei Geng was a little unclear, but Su Ruan and Ji Nianhua both understood.
Although Shen Tangxi is the son of the prime minister, he has ruined his appearance since he was a child, and it is impossible for him to enter the court as an official, so naturally Ming Xuande has less scruples.
And it is said that the reason why Shen Tangxi was burned and disfigured back then was also because of the accident caused by the carelessness of the palace people in the palace, and Shen Fengnian did not pursue it too much afterwards, and still worked wholeheartedly for the court, and it was normal for the emperor to be sorry for their father and son.
The two compartments are added together, and Princess Aya'an has her own intentions, and it is normal for the emperor to acquiesce in this matter.
Su Ruan asked in a low voice, "Shen Xiang also agreed?" ”
"I don't know."
Ji Zhao shook his head, "The emperor hasn't made a clear decree, so this matter is not settled, and I see that Ah Tang doesn't seem to like this marriage, and he only guards the courtesy of the monarch and the minister to Princess Aya'an, and he is not too eager." ”
"He is not interested in the court, and he has long wanted to leave Beijing, and with the queen's obstruction, I estimate that this marriage should not be possible."
It is good to say that it is a gift from a monarch and a minister, but Shen Tangxi can be regarded as indifferent to Princess Aya'an.
They can all see it clearly, this matter has always been Princess Ayaan's heat.
Su Ruan Wenyan glanced at the direction where the prince was located, because of the terrain, looking from them, he could just see what the prince was talking to Shen Tangxi.
Although Princess Aya'an on the side stood with the county lord of Chengyang, her eyes and heart all fell on Shen Tangxi.
The little flower-like girl tilted her cheeks slightly, looking at the masked man in front of her with affection, her face was full of shyness and uncontrollable joy, and she obviously liked him very much.
Su Ruan's eyes paused on Shen Tangxi, and he was a little cold: "I don't like it, but he didn't refuse, did he?" ”
"Huh?"
Su Ruan's voice was not loud, and the few people around him didn't hear it clearly.
Ji Zhao asked, "Ruan Ruan, what did you say?" ”
Su Ruan retracted his gaze.
When Princess Ayaan played against Ji Nianhua in the octagonal pavilion before, when the cuffs were slightly raised, the pattern on the lining that fell from the inside was very special, like a bird flying a bird, like a bird not a bird, and the tail feathers seemed to intersect with red and blue.
Su Ruan felt strange and looked at it twice.
But just now, she saw the same pattern on the sachet hanging on Shen Tangxi, who "adhered to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and did not have too much eagerness" in Ji Zhao's mouth.
It was a three-blue bird, outlined in blue and black, and its tail feathers were extremely gorgeous.
The blue bird is a messenger to report lovesickness......
Who gave the sachet doesn't have to ask.
Su Ruan didn't hold grievances for Princess Aya'an, and they didn't know each other.
She just felt that if Shen Tangxi really didn't want this marriage, she shouldn't have taken the tokens of other people's daughter's family and hung them in front of her to cause people to reverie, which made people fall into the mud and couldn't extricate themselves.
But since he took it, he still hung on his body so grandly, but he was cold and reluctant, which was really hypocritical.
Su Ruan felt a little disgusted in his heart, but he just said on his face: "It's nothing." She turned her head to look at Pei Geng and said, "Brother Pei, it's a lively day, why don't you see Miss Pei?" ”
"She, I'm going to Luwei with my mother, and I can't come back in time."
When Pei Geng talked about his sister, his chubby face was full of spoiling,
"You don't know, that girl was preparing the clothes to be worn half a month ago, and hurriedly counted the days and went back, but who knew that it was so unfortunate that they were broken in the middle of the road, delayed, and when she came back, I am afraid that it will be a long time to make trouble."
Ji Nianhua couldn't help but chuckle.
Pei Yun likes to be lively the most, and if she misses it, she has to talk about it.
