Chapter 26: The Horse
Today's Fengyang County Lord is wearing a red silk dress with crane flowers, which is extremely eye-catching. In comparison, Li Jiangwei's plain clothes are extremely simple, but they are not like today's flower gods.
"Can you answer that?"
Facing the bright smile of the Fengyang County Lord, although Li Jiangwei was a little surprised, the smile was still on her lips and looked indifferent.
"The eldest sister in the family has business dealings with His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness King Qin is familiar with me when I come and go."
"As far as I know, His Royal Highness the Prince generally does not show up in person to deal with business matters, at most he goes to Wenjin Bookstore to see the excitement."
"If you don't say it, then I can only ask His Royal Highness. If there really wasn't, His Royal Highness wouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave the table to look for you that day. If the two of you have a concubine, my mother and I can't pull the red thread for the two of you. ”
"Rose never thought of that."
"Did you never think about it, or did you not want to tell it?"
Li Jiangwei just smiled and didn't answer the words of the Fengyang County Lord. Li Jiangwei stared at the calm surface of the lake, looking at the reflection on both sides of the river.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin will come today."
Li Jiangwei's expression did not change at all when she heard the news, which made the Fengyang County Lord doubt her judgment.
"If you don't want to say, don't ask me and my mother in the future."
The county lord laughed. Li Jiangwei said unhurriedly: "I am just a concubine of Uncle Anyuan's mansion, but His Royal Highness the Prince is the emperor's favorite prince. If your status doesn't match, how dare you be delusional? ”
"What about a mismatch?"
The county lord of Fengyang rested his hands and elbows on the railing by the bridge, and the breeze blew, raising the hem of her bright red clothes.
"My parents also don't match their status, didn't they end up with me? When I look at you and His Royal Highness, I always think of my parents. ”
At that time, he had not yet married the princess and the eldest princess, and the articles he wrote during the imperial examination were enough to become the champion of the current year, and because of his outstanding appearance, he was finally ordered to be a tanhualang. At the Qionglin banquet held later, the horse and the princess fell in love at first sight. Becoming a colt and marrying a princess means saying goodbye to a bright future.
Regardless of the opposition of his family, he was not afraid of the identity gap and insisted on marrying Princess Heshou. The two eventually became a couple and became the envy of the capital at that time.
If the colt hadn't died in an accident, perhaps this good story would have survived to this day, and it would not have been lamented and regretted again and again.
"My mother holds a flower-viewing banquet on March 3 every year, also for the purpose of a lover who will eventually become a family."
"How the hell did the colt go?"
The county lord of Fengyang shook his head and replied softly: "Although my mother mentioned it, my father died suddenly...... It is true that my father did not return home for several nights in those days. But every time the mother mentions the father's status...... If the father really died suddenly, there was no insider in it? Why was my father buried in a hurry when he died? ”
After listening to the words of the county lord of Fengyang, Li Jiangwei felt a relative. If the death of the horse was not an accident, then the reason why the third brother went to the Guozijian is very clear.
But who exactly does it mean to go to Guozijian? The princess asked her to participate in the flower god meeting to investigate the death of the pony? Or let her win over Princess Heshou?
"We've been talking for a long time, and my mother shouldn't be able to wait."
The county lord of Fengyang looked sad, and the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a smile that conformed to etiquette.
"Let's go."
Li Jiangwei didn't dare to ask in detail, and returned to Princess Heshou with the county lord of Fengyang
At the altar of the god of flowers. The so-called altar of the god of flowers is nothing more than a lawn clearing with a few spring-flowering trees planted on both sides.
Li Jiangwei doesn't know much about flowers and trees, and the trees that bloom in spring can only recognize plum blossoms, peach blossoms, and at most one pear blossom. For a while, I really couldn't tell what kind of two flowers and trees were.
Except for the twelve flower gods, the rest of the people sat on the viewing platform prepared by Princess Heshou.
The so-called flower god festival is much simpler than the blessing festival in Fuyang. The so-called sacrificial ceremony, that is, the twelve flower gods take turns to appear and bow to the two flowers and trees. The significance of the twelve flower gods of the flower god is a way for women of school age in the capital to be able to show their faces in front of real nobles.
In fact, in addition to Princess Heshou and the lord of Fengyang, the three princes of the dynasty, the king of Qin and the five princes were all present at the scene. After the festival, Princess Heshou invited the twelve flower gods to her side and asked the girls about their family backgrounds and talents.
After a few small conversations, Princess Heshou no longer restrained the juniors and let them chat.
Ning Yingluo Yingying stepped forward, walked in front of the third prince and bowed to him, "Your Highness." ”
"You are dressed very beautifully today."
Ning Yingluo was praised by the third prince, and her cheeks were slightly red. Jiang Xuemian on the side also smiled heartily when she saw this.
"Recently, the concubine wants to hold a tea party in the palace, I wonder if Cousin Ning is willing to go?"
Ning Yingluo's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly responded: "My aunt is willing to invite, which is a blessing for Yingluo." Of course I would like to go! ”
"The concubine likes to be lively, why don't you call the girls of the Jiang family and the young lady of the Li family together?"
Ning Yingluo was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Miss Li is ......?"
"It's Li Jiangwei."
Ning Yingluo's smile did not decrease, but she had already cursed Li Jiangwei fiercely in her heart.
"Why did my aunt become interested in Li Jiangwei?"
"Oh?" Chu Yongrui looked at Ning Yingluo with interest, "You still don't know?" ”
"Know what?"
"That Li Jiangwei is the author of my father's favorite "Wanjiayan".
Ning Yingluo, who learned the news, was like a thunderstorm exploding here on a sunny day.
"How could it be ......?"
The third prince, Chu Yongrui, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention around him, and whispered to Ning Yingluo: "On the day of the small gathering, the mother concubine has other things to discuss with you, don't waste the mother's kindness." ”
Ning Yingluo looked at Chu Yongrui's smile and nodded with a red face.
In contrast, Zhou Jingyan has no interest in any prince, and all her thoughts are on Li Jiangwei.
Zhou Jingyan got to see Li Jiangwei, but the current situation is still not the time to speak. She kept looking at Li Jiangwei, but she didn't get a response. I even saw Qin Wang Yu Yongyi go to Li Jiangwei to speak.
Could it be that King Qin is interested in Li Jiangwei?
This thought flashed through Zhou Jingyan's mind. However, it didn't take long for King Qin to leave Li Jiangwei's side and go to find Princess Heshou. At this time, Zhou Jingyan dared to move forward.
"You just stared at me for a long time."
Before Zhou Jingyan could speak, she heard Li Jiangwei say this. Immediately, I saw Li Jiangwei looking left and right, and asked in a low voice to herself, "Is it related to Brother Zhou?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhou Jingyan's urgent appearance also made Li Jiangwei worried.
"You and I will talk in another place."
Li Jiangwei was about to turn around and leave here, but was pulled by Zhou Jingyan.
