Chapter 60: The Prince
For a while, there was harmony in the hall, and everyone was sitting outside the ancestral hall of the palace at this time. Princess Sheng looked at the different looks of the ladies quietly, looked at her daughter's delicate face, couldn't help patting her hands, and said, "Yi'er, you take Miss Qiao to the mansion for a walk, so that I don't have to talk to the ladies, and you want me to snub others again." β
Lord Minghui repeatedly begged for mercy, and the ladies all covered their mouths and smiled kindly, and she left with Qiao Mei. Later, Princess Sheng had already taken the ladies to the front hall to sit down, and ordered the maids to pass melons and fruits and refreshments.
After slipping through the garden, the two of them saw the nobles gathered around a pavilion. Today's scenes, all the concubines in the mansion are here, fat and thin, and they are all full of manners.
Seeing Qiao Mei coming, Qiao Yu hurriedly walked over. The third master is not Mrs. Qiao's own birth, so Qiao Yu is just a concubine, and she didn't have a banquet in the palace. But the second lady Qi was sick in bed and never got better, and Qiao Meng went to the old lady to excuse herself on the grounds that she wanted to wait for her mother.
Qiao Mei alone came, fearing that others would be suspicious, so the Zhou family took Qiao Yu to come together.
But Qiao Mei was left behind by Princess Sheng, she was alone on the side, watching the other nobles all gather together in twos and threes, laughing and laughing, she was extremely embarrassed!
Looking at Qiao Mei's white and delicate face, Qiao Yu felt a little bored in her heart, the fourth sister was about to become the crown princess, why did she still show off in front of the princess? In case the prince really takes a fancy to her, see how she explains to His Royal Highness the Prince!
Qiao Yu couldn't help but guess maliciously, but her hand was gently patted, and she was startled, and her hand was suddenly withdrawn from the crook of Qiao Mei's arm.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Qiao Mei looking at her suspiciously, and seemed to wink. Qiao Yu saw the girl next to Qiao Mei at this time, and when she saw her extravagant, her heart immediately faintly understood, and she was a little happy.
Qiao Yu made a thousand blessings and said: "The courtiers invite the county lord Jin An." β
Lord Minghui bowed slightly, and replied casually, without giving Qiao Yu a single glance - the jealousy that flashed in this person's eyes, she could see it clearly.
Qiao Yu looked at the scarlet skirt of Lord Minghui swept in front of her eyes, and the sentence "no formality" seemed very perfunctory, her face was instantly ugly, and she raised her head to look at Qiao Mei again.
Qiao Mei was also helpless.
In her previous life, the county lord had no dealings with her, and she only had to meet a few times. Judging from the fact that she coaxed the princess and her wife to laugh in just a few words, and also beat those who were not convinced, the county lord of Minghui is not only exquisite, but also very temperamental.
I don't know why Qiao Yu couldn't see her, so she let her treat her with a straight face. Now Qiao Mei had no choice but to appease Qiao Yu, and she said softly: "Pay attention to your demeanor, if you have anything to do, you will talk about it when you go home." β
Qiao Yu had no choice but to restrain his expression, and the two walked over, and the girls over there all saluted Lord Minghui, with a different look in their eyes.
The county lord is here, and the prince of the world is ......
"Xueyi." Lord Minghui walked over with a smile and grabbed the other party's arm, only talking to Lin Xueyi intimately. Under the envious gaze of the girls, Lin Xueyi couldn't control her laughter.
She grinned: "Ah Yi hasn't seen you for a long time." β
Although the girls are envious, they have nothing to say in the end. Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest girl in the Dingguo General's Mansion and the lord of Minghui are handkerchiefs, and they naturally can't plug in the friendship from childhood to adulthood.
It's just that...... Why is this Qiao Mei again?
Lin Xueyi beckoned Qiao Mei to come over, and as a result, a somewhat strange and somewhat harmonious scene appeared - the county lord took the girls of the Lin family and the two girls of the Qiao Mansion to sit in the pavilion. The other girls looked at them with admiration in their eyes, and the bolder ones gathered around, and the thin-skinned ones looked at them from a distance.
Lord Minghui turned his head to look at the ladies and ladies in the distance, and just smiled and wanted to call them over to play together, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps not far away.
Listening to the man's voice, it was as if a drop of oil had been poured into a hot pan, and the girls were excited and a little shy to pinch their handkerchiefs. Qiao Mei looked at the posture of the person in front of her, she made several movements, like admiring flowers and like a wandering god, Qiao Mei couldn't help but be a little funny.
These girls are too naΓ―ve, if Princess Sheng wants to choose a concubine for the prince, she will first go to Zhang Luo secretly to inquire, and the girl she likes will treat her differently.
But today, the princess seems to be normal to any girl. If you want to say that Qiao Mei has her blue eyes, it is better to say that she is curious about Qiao Mei because of the prince.
If you want Qiao Mei to say, what Sheng Wangfu is doing today is "stealing the sky", where is the real protagonist is the prince, he is just a gimmick to attract the attention of the girls.
Sure enough, under the expectations of the girls, it was the prince Xie Mubai who took the lead to step out, he gave birth to a good skin, a purple cloud brocade robe lined with his warmth and incomparable, and his long body was jade, obviously with a breezy appearance.
But there were seven or eight men behind him, and the nobles couldn't help but exclaim when they saw it, and they almost couldn't stop the word "brother" in their mouths.
There was a grievance on every face, and there was his brother present, which ...... How embarrassed to go to Boschzi's gaze again......
Jory also stood in the middle of it.
Qiao Mei watched idly, and when she saw the girls who were originally full of spring, she couldn't help but feel better.
Sheng Wangfu's intention couldn't be more obvious, this time it was to let the lord of Minghui choose a favorite son.
It's just that she is a little puzzled, didn't the county lord have a baby kiss with the son of the Lin family? It stands to reason that the two eventually became married in their previous lives, and now they should be a little affectionate......
Here, Lin Xueyi had already looked at the county lord of Minghui, and she also saw through the county lord's mind at a glance, and said with some hesitation: "Ah Yi, you are still angry with my brother...... In fact, he can explain all of this......"
Ah Yi and her brother's affairs, she naturally knows a little, but... It's all a misunderstanding!
Lord Minghui glanced at her and deliberately displeased: "You also have to defend him?" β
Even waving her hand, Lin Xueyi immediately expressed her support, "Don't worry, I will definitely stand on your side!" Seeing that the county lord of Minghui still looked faint and refused to pay attention to her, Lin Xueyi turned her head to look at Qiao Mei and glanced at her.
Qiao Mei couldn't help but grow his head, this Minghui County Lord was not familiar with her, what was she doing to make a fuss?
It's just that before she could say anything, Lord Minghui brushed Lin Xueyi's hand and turned around and left without saying a word.
This change stunned everyone, and the county lord's personal maidservants hurriedly followed, while the rest of the girls were relatively speechless.
Lin Xueyi was even more stupid, she knew that Ah Yi was very angry, but she had really changed a lot after not seeing her for a few years, and this was still in front of so many people, why did she leave everyone at once? How will these people arrange Ah Yi afterwards?
When she came back to her senses, Lin Xueyi immediately glared at the girls who were about to whisper, and raised her voice a little, "Ren Qiqi, what are you talking about?" Why not be louder? Let the prince and the other sons listen to it too! β
Everyone was immediately silenced.
Who doesn't know that the prince is a doting sister, and besides, arguing in vain about the county lord in the palace is trying to destroy his future?
