Chapter 18: The Hot Upstart
Song Yuan asked the little lark Cheng Yunjie to steal back a key from the Great Qi Palace.
Although Cheng Yunjie was also very curious about the use of this key, if his master didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.
However, after that banquet, the invitations to the banquets of the ladies in Changwu City flew into the palace of Guangping like snowflakes.
As soon as the guards of the Guangping Mansion began to be on duty in the morning, they began to send invitations to the door.
This was the case for days.
The nobles and women in Changwu City were all faintly excluded from these circles by Princess Guangping.
It was also because the king of Guangping was not close to women, presumably the princess who came over with her relatives was just a widow in the palace.
According to the temperament of King Guangping, it is fortunate that this Princess Wuyang can save her life.
Where could you ask for so much.
But after that night's dinner, everyone saw the attitude of King Quang Binh.
It seems that this King of Guangping is not so unkind.
This prince is clearly very good against this Wuyang princess.
In just one night, everyone already has a scale in their hearts.
Originally, they had never seen this new nobleman in Changwu City, so naturally it was not easy to deal with it rashly.
Now it is different, and the value of this new princess in their eyes is anything but ordinary.
King Guangping is not close to people, but his pillow person is not necessarily so.
The more noble the concubines who are in high places, the more they understand the value of this high resource.
People in high places befriend people in high places, and the utility is far more than just one plus one.
A clan that can have officials of more than three grades, or a clan that can continue to hold titles for several generations and continue to disappear, are all behemoths in this Changwu City.
Even a behemoth within the borders of the Great Qi Kingdom.
The grandeur of the family's heritage and power should not be underestimated.
And the people who can lead the entire family and even the entire clan to this position, and make friends with each other, means that resources of the same level or even a higher level are surging, and resources are staggered and shared.
The effect of doing more with less is far from being achieved by one person.
Most of the marriages between families come from this reason.
Even if you don't go further, you always have to run for the family to prosper forever.
And even if this family has a rich heritage, except for a very few families who have to follow the ancestral teachings, most family clans always have to find a big tree that is tall enough and strong enough to rely on.
Xiahou Jinshan, the king of Guangping, has long been a fragrant dumpling in the eyes of the family.
But helplessly, the king of Guangping always looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, and the family had to dispel such thoughts.
But now there is a princess Wuyang married by Daze.
Originally, he did not attend any occasion quietly, and even the wedding day was a ritual completed in a coma.
After entering the Guangping Palace, it took a few days before he slowly woke up.
But when I woke up, maybe because of my illness, I have always kept a low profile.
But I don't want to appear at the dinner party, but she is such a stunning beauty.
In their eyes, the stunning color is not a precious thing, but if this stunning color has the favor of Xiahou Jinshan, the king of Guangping, it will be completely different.
The people of the family who originally coveted the big tree of King Guangping, now that they see this Princess Guangping and Princess Wuyang, their thoughts that were silent back then are alive again......
If there is a drama in what they are asking for, then the convenient door of this King of Guangping may be above this Princess of Guangping.
As a result, Song Yuan has become the hottest person in the upper echelons of power in this Changwu city.
Song and Yuan naturally did not reject these things.
She used to be in Daze for many years in such occasions, and she was always able to get some information that was difficult to get in the court.
It's just that the only difference is that she used to mingle in the circle of men.
The friends with it are all the officials of Daze, the princes and generals, the nouveau riche of the dynasty, and so on.
Although Song Yuan is a daughter, she has never been involved in such an occasion.
Looking at these invitations for a while, I also felt fresh.
Song Yuan was looking at the invitation, but the little lark Cheng Yunjie had been pouring tea for Song Yuan.
I saw this Cheng Yunjie dressed up beautifully, sitting steadily in front of the tea case.
The tea falls together, and it has its own charm between them, and it flows out with the fragrance of tea.
The gestures are actually in a league of their own.
Song Yuan took the dim sum and ate the tea, nodding from time to time.
The incense pieces in the palace are of excellent quality, worthy of being brought back from the Great Qi Palace, the food and drink here in Xiahou Jinshan did not make Song Yuan lose his mouth, well, Cheng Yunjie is also good now.
This Cheng Yunjie is extremely talented in doing many things, marching and fighting can be a general, choosing clothes and combing hair is better than the red girl, and now the tea ceremony is also very fast, but she doesn't need to make it herself in the future.
Originally, Song Yuan also liked to make a pot of tea so slowly, drink it for an hour or two, and steal half a day of leisure when he was busy with official business.
But since she experienced a life and death, she has become much lazier.
I used to like to soak, but now I like to drink it even more.
In this spare time, he taught this personal "maid" to learn the tea ceremony every day.
Master and servant, you have a cup and I have a cup, and once you drink it, it will be a day.
Time always flows between teas faster than tea.
Song Yuan stretched his waist, and almost finished reading the invitation, and carefully selected a few women to save the game.
The opportunities given to the various families are very balanced, and they all happen to be different games.
Pitching pots, juju, flower arrangement, tea tasting, poetry meetings, and incense discussions...... The whole nine yards.
It is just suitable for Song Yuan, an alien "princess", to go and have a look.
Xiahou Jinshan's elm pimple head didn't understand the beauty of socializing, so Song Yuan naturally wanted to go to see it for him.
Speaking of Xiahou Jinshan, this Xiahou Jinshan has just returned to the palace after finishing official business.
Xiahou Jinshan has been very busy these days.
There are now some signs of a major drought in the northern region of Daqi, and it is said that it has not rained a drop of rain for nearly two months.
Other places have more or less troubles.
Xiahou Jinshan has also been entangled in government affairs recently, and he has been very busy.
Fortunately, now that the treasury is full, even if there is a major drought in the northern region, it will not starve all over the wilderness.
It's just that this candidate has to work hard.
It took a few days to finish these affairs, and finally took a breath of relief.
So today, when the sun was not yet setting westward and the sky was still bright, Xiahou Jinshan returned to his palace early in the morning.
I was bathing and changing clothes in my yard, and when I was about to rest, I suddenly remembered something.
The dead woman in the Ripple Pavilion didn't seem to have sent the copied "Women's Rules" over.
Xiahou Jinshan immediately called the little servant over and asked if the woman had come to him to intercede in the past few days.
Xiahou Jinshan looked at the little guy with a frosty face, so frightened that he was extremely worried in his heart, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether his prince wanted to hear that the princess had come or whether the princess had not come.
But I had to tell the truth,
"The princess has not been here in the past few days, she has never been here......"
