Chapter 36: Can You Be My Friend?
Yang Qingyun thought about it, and looked at Mrs. Li again, with a somewhat complicated mood.
β¦β¦ In the end, King Nanmu finally had a new woman. Although he is not young, he has already given birth to children, which will be good for him.
The two soon arrived at Mrs. Lee.
Because there were other ladies talking to her, Zhao was very good at being a person, and he was quietly smiling.
But Mrs. Li saw her first, and she smiled even more at the moment. In the end, it is all from everyone, and I also know that the family of the powerful is the most face-conscious. Mrs. Li was at ease, and after returning the salute with the other ladies one by one, she smiled and took two steps towards the Zhao family.
"Shujun, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you look very good." As Mrs. Li spoke, she took Zhao's hand affectionately, as if she didn't care about being seen by others and their intimate actions, she swept Zhao up and down, "Why are you getting slimmer and slimmer, you can't tell that you have given birth to three." β
Zhao was praised for a sentence or two, and was very happy, "Aren't you the same, I think King Nanmu has really raised you very well over the yearsββ"
Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Mrs. Li, she lowered her voice and scolded with a smile: "You can't talk nonsense. β
"It's been three years, so it shouldn't matter, right?" Zhao probably knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he covered his mouth, and after a while, he was relieved, "It's really not easy, you have finally survived." β
The two reunited after a long absence, and couldn't help but say a few more words.
Yang Qingyun obediently listened to what they said, and was held by a soft little hand without deception.
She lowered her eyes and saw that the little girl that Mrs. Li was holding was already standing beside her at some point, looking up at her with black and white eyes.
The two who were originally talking also found out.
"Yeon-yeon, I like you." Mrs. Li touched the little girl's head very lovingly, and because her daughter was holding someone, she remembered that she had neglected someone, "...... This is the girl from the Hou Mansion, right? I'm really sorry, I'm patronizing the past, but I forgot about you, a fairy-like girl. β
Yang Qingyun smiled back and bowed.
Zhao Shi answered, "This is the third girl in the mansion, it's really not my exaggeration, there are few people in this huge capital who can look better than her." Sister Yi often said when she was a child that if she could grow such a color, she would wake up dreaming and laughing every day. β
Mrs. Lee was amused.
She glanced at Yang Qingyun more, and nodded sympathetically, "If my family Yanyan can have this delicate face, I'm afraid I will have to wake up from my dream with a smile." β
Yang Qingyun is generous, and the greetings between dignitaries and dignitaries are like this, and she is not such an uninteresting person.
ββ¦β¦ Madame, don't make fun of me, I just saw Madame from afar, and I was still wondering which noble girl looked so standard, but I didn't want to have such a little princess like this. β
praised her for being young and praising her for being good-looking, what other woman in the world can be unhappy?
Sure enough, Mrs. Li was about to laugh like a flower.
Seeing that the palace banquet was about to start, Zhao and Mrs. Li took their respective girls to return to the seats that had been arranged long ago.
The little girl refused to follow Mrs. Li, and was stunned to hold Yang Qingyun and not let go.
"Yeon-yeon, you can't do this, so many people are watching." Mrs. Li coaxed softly, trying to get her to let go, but the little girl refused to live or die.
Yang Qingyun saw that there was no way to go on like this, so she suggested softly: "...... Our seats on the left and right are right next to each other, so it's better to let Yanyan and I sit together, and you and your mother can sit together to catch up. β
Zhao smiled and agreed, "Sister Wan is right, it's the first time Yan Yan has seen Sister Yun, since she is so fateful, it's better to let the two juniors sit together." β
Seeing this, Mrs. Li reluctantly agreed, she bent down slightly and said, "This is the palace, Yanyan must be well-behaved, don't make trouble, okay?" β
The little girl nodded, "I see, Princessβ" Before the brittle end fell, she changed her words, "Mother." β
Mrs. Li touched her head.
The group took their seats.
Because there are still two or three important ladies of powerful families who have not yet arrived, the palace banquet has to be waited for.
Mrs. Li and Zhao on the side seat had already chatted, talking and laughing, very warmly.
Yang Qingyun looked at the little girl sitting straight on her side, and always felt a little less angry.
Six or seven-year-old dolls, it stands to reason that they should be lively and noisy.
"What's your name?"
She tried to communicate with her, but she didn't expect to get a response, but she didn't expect the little girl to reply to her with a pair of eyes, "Zhang Shuyan, what about you, sister?" β
Yang Qingyun also smiled and gave her name, seeing that she was serious and very funny, she dipped her finger in some fruit wine and wrote and drew on the table, "...... Those are those three words. β
After finishing speaking, I felt that a little doll didn't know much about words, so I smiled and said, "You are still young, and when you grow up, you will know how to write your sister's name." β
Zhang Shuyan tilted her head and looked at the table, and also learned from Yang Qingyun to dip the wine on the table and write her name seriously, "Zhang-Shu-Yan, sister, do you remember?" β
The little girl looked up at her.
Yang Qingyun smiled and nodded.
"Sister, now that I know your name, and you know my name, can you be my friend?"
Zhang Shuyan's face was sincere, and there was a little hope in her eyes.
Yang Qingyun smiled and nodded, but she faintly felt that something was wrong.
Peers have always played with their peers, how could such a big little doll want to be friends with her?
She couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shuyan a few more times.
Her eyes were very good-looking, shiny, as if a few stars had sunk under her eyes. But his eyes are not like ordinary little dolls, he is very clear and calm...... Most of them are a little precocious.
She thought for a moment and asked her softly, "Does Yeon-yeon have no friends around?" β
Zhang Shuyan was about to answer, but she was unguarded, her eyes flickered, and she deviated slightly from the direction.
She pursed her lips.
Yang Qingyun looked in that direction and saw Mrs. Li looking over. Yang Qingyun smiled back, and when she looked at Zhang Shuyan again, she had recovered to the original appearance of sitting like a pine.
She thought about it and didn't talk to her again.
I always feel that the relationship between Mrs. Li and Zhang Shuyan is a little weird.
At this time, Yang Qingyun still had doubts in her heart; At that time, De Jong Garden came again.
As soon as the man stepped in, he was greeted by a lady with a girl who had not yet left the court. Someone took the lead, and then there were ladies and girls who couldn't sit still.
Yang Qingyun raised her eyes, still thinking about whose female dependents were so faceful, and saw that the high-ranking concubine Niangniang also stood up.
She immediately understood.
The emperor is her uncle, and she has also seen his concubine, and her identity has been heard of to some extent.
The concubine's maiden family is very prominent, and her grandfather was the young master of the crown prince. 's father is also a high-ranking court official, but he has retired from officialdom after not being in good health over the years.
The junior below is the prime minister of the dynasty, powerful and powerful, and a person who can make the court turbulent with a cough.
And those who can enter De Jong Garden are naturally female dependents. Since she is a female dependent, the one who can make the concubine care so much is the lady of the Prime Minister's house.
