Chapter 361: King Zhou is invited
., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Shoufu family!
Spring return today was suddenly invited by Princess Zhou, and was taken to the Zhou Palace, she also said that there was an emergency, how did she know that when she arrived at the palace, she looked at Princess Zhou, and she didn't see even a little anxiety from this person's eyebrows, and she was not so sure of her judgment.
Dong Mingzhu went to the back garden of King Zhou's mansion with the hand of Chun Hui, and then explained: "I am so anxious to invite my sister over, but it is not because of any urgent matter, but also because the prince wants to come out of it, saying that he has not had a drink with his brother-in-law and a few other friends for some days, because his brother-in-law is now busy with the ministry in the Hanlin Academy, so he has to accommodate a dinner." As he spoke, he glanced around again, making sure that what he said would not be heard by the servant, but he still lowered the volume: "The prince said that he only invited his brother-in-law, so he delayed the meeting between his brother-in-law and his sister for ten days, and my brother-in-law must be unhappy, so I asked my sister to come over, and the prince also praised my sister's cooking skills. ”
When he returned to the spring, he asked: "In addition to my uncle, did the prince also invite a few guests such as King Zi and Ye Langjun?" ”
"The prince said that it was a few friends who often gather at the Xisheng Pavilion to drink."
Chun Gui has a number in his heart - King Zhou is not as idle and not doing business as he seems on the surface, and besides, in addition to Lan Ting, Xu Yaozhang and Shi Buqun are all from the official journey, how could King Zhou choose to feast and drink on such a day that is not a holiday? Most of them are tricks, and I'm afraid that there will be any changes to discuss with the Lan Ting Society.
She also knew that King Zhou had not mentioned to Dong Mingzhu the secret of intending to seek storage at this time because of the reason why King Zhou was far away from the party dispute, so she naturally only thought that this was an ordinary gathering that was true, and she only cared about helping her sister prepare food utensils, of course, many trivial things did not need to be done by the two of them, and more time was actually spent drinking tea and chatting with Dong Mingzhu.
The topic of young women, since it is inseparable from rouge gouache clothes and jewelry, to talk deeply, but it is also inseparable from the interesting things in the inner house, Chungui can see that Mingzhu's temperament is somewhat restrained, I don't know how to get along with King Zhou in private, after all, I don't want to talk more about the love of men and women in front of people, but Chungui looks at her complexion and emotions, and can also feel that she is quite satisfied with her newlywed life.
King Zhou didn't appear in the garden at first, and it wasn't until Shen Zheng came over with Ye Wanqing and Mu Zhuxi, to Chungui's surprise, Ye Wanqing's wife Feng Huiyu also went with her husband today, and the men found another pavilion to talk, and the women sat in the stone boat and talked and laughed.
King Zhou looked at the vague posture of several women in the stone boat by the water's edge through the vines of flowers and leaves, and a familiar sense of experience suddenly swept through his mind again, so that he lost his mind in an instant, poured tea and poured water to fill the mouth, and dripped the table, Ye Wanqing and Mu Zhuxi first looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Wuyake, don't be polite to us, let's let the maids do it, tsk, the golden branches and jade leaves are the golden branches and jade leaves, and you can't do these jobs of serving tea and pouring water." ”
One was a little more "kind", and he didn't follow to ridicule His Royal Highness King Zhou's limbs for not being diligent: "I only say that the two couples of Brother Bei and Brother Wan Qing can not leave Meng, how do I know that after the marriage of Wuyak, it is also such a situation, looking at the appearance of this lost soul, or ...... Let's go and sit in the stone boat for a while, Brother Wan Qing and I don't need to be accompanied by Wuyake in person. ”
King Zhou couldn't explain the reason for his sudden loss of soul, so he could only admit that "Jiao Bu Meng is not separated", but he glanced at Mu Zhuxi and said: "Zhuxi is also a good thing is coming, and the love between this husband and wife will soon be able to appreciate it.
You don't have to be red-eyed. ”
Besides, in Shifang, there is one more Feng Huiyu, as if it is natural to talk about the customs of Fenyang's hometown with the same spring, and listen to Dong Mingzhu as a concentrated and speculative person, and two people with eyes came.
The palace of the king of Zhou is not as good as the ordinary family, in addition to the princess of Zhou, there are two talented people, they are not like ordinary concubines, if they are not summoned by the master mother, they are not allowed to attend the meeting, after all, they are also the side room of the prince who has been canonized and registered, and has the dignity that ordinary concubines can hardly reach.
Tao Fanglin preemptively said: "I heard that my cousin-in-law will come to the palace today, I have long wanted to come to accompany my son, but the princess explained that I was supervising the things in the sewing room today, and I couldn't get out of it for a while, so I took time to take my free time, and I met Qiao Niang on the road, she heard that the prince went back to the palace and came straight to the garden, and hurriedly came to say hello." ”
These words were in a ridiculous tone, and there was no malicious intent, but of course the purpose was not as pure as the tone, and in front of Concubine Dong, he deliberately pointed out that Qiao's family was here to compete for favor.
However, Qiao's is a typical embroidered pillow, how long has it been, relying on beauty, he dares not to put Concubine Dong in his eyes at all, not to mention Tao Fanglin, who was originally on an equal footing with her, feels that he has gained a firm foothold, no matter how much slander and slander is difficult to hurt her in the slightest, so he is too lazy to use his scheming, just like now, she didn't notice Tao's intentions at all, she saluted Concubine Dong so-so, and her knees were not finished straightening, so she looked around and said: "Where is Your Highness?" ”
Tao Fanglin smiled, and his eyes secretly stared at Concubine Dong's expression.
Mingzhu is the most polite temperament, and naturally he can't get used to Qiao's words and deeds, but in front of Chungui and Feng Huiyu, it is not good to admonish on the spot, so he only said lightly: "The prince is talking with the distinguished guests, and it is inconvenient for Qiao Cairen to go to greet him at this time." Then he looked at the maidservant behind Qiao Cairen and said, "Let's go to Danfeng Pavilion and transfer Qiao Cairen's greetings." ”
Qiao's naturally didn't follow, and he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Tao Fanglin grabbed his arm: "Let's go to the garden to choose a few flowers and leaves first, so that it is convenient to make offerings at the dinner." ”
Without saying anything, he pulled Qiao's away.
When passing through Danfeng Pavilion, the strength in Tao Fanglin's hand did not decrease at all, and almost strangled Qiao's change of path, so angry that Qiao's barely pinched Tao Fanglin's arm, staring at a pair of apricot eyes, but her eyebrows and eyes, even if she was very angry, she only added a layer of sorrow.
"Tao Cairen seems to be tying people up, why is this?!"
"When I am willing to restrain it, it is just to avoid being reprimanded by the princess afterwards." Tao Fanglin chuckled.
"I just want to go to the prince to say hello, what kind of exceedance?"
"The prince is now accompanying foreign guests, we are talented people with titles, how can we go to the foreign man regardless of the system? The princess has endured her anger and reminded her, if Qiao Niang is no longer interested, won't she give her a handle? ”
"With the prince here, is it possible that the princess still dares to accuse me of misconduct?" Qiao Cairen rolled his eyes elegantly, his face full of disdain: "As long as the prince doesn't blame, what can the princess do?" I'm not as careful as Tao Niang, I'm afraid of stepping on the ants and insects in the princess's courtyard when I walk. ”
Tao Fanglin secretly despised Qiao's stupidity and arrogance, but there was no trace between his eyebrows in his expression, and his smile was naturally maintained, and his tone became more and more gentle: "The princess is the most polite person, Qiao Niang didn't look at the prince."
If there is an overstep, the princess will also remind her bluntly, why did the prince complain that the princess slapped her face at the princess? The prince spoils Qiao Niang, and he will never allow Qiao Niang to disrespect the princess, but I am dedicated to Qiao Niang's sake, this anti-ear advice, I hope that Qiao Niang can listen to it. ”
"It's nothing more than relying on the prestige of the Jin State Mansion that Concubine Dong can be so proud, sooner or later one day I will let her understand that a woman's strength is not her mother's family background!"
What is not a family background? Could it be that this face will age sooner or later? Tao Fanglin secretly scolded "idiot" again.
No wonder in that life, it didn't take long for Qiao's to annoy the prince under the joint suppression of Concubine Dong and Gu Chungui, and she was personally asked by the prince to deprive her of her reputation as a talented person, and sent to Zhuangzi to ignore it, even if the Empress Dowager Shengci was dissatisfied, she repeatedly told the prince to welcome Qiao's back, and the prince did not listen to the words of the Empress Dowager Shengci, and gradually, the nobles in the capital forgot Qiao's such a person, Tao Fanglin was deeply impressed by Qiao's because her younger brother later married Qiao's cousin, and the younger sister-in-law once fought for Qiao's "comeback." The opportunity entrusted her to persuade Zhao Lanting to intercede for Qiao's in front of King Zhou, but this matter was naturally taken as a deaf ear by Zhao Lanting, which was originally an easy matter, but she refused to contribute.
For Qiao's sake, she ended up incurring the jealousy of her brother-in-law, and when she was abandoned, her brother-in-law sneered at her, and later swept away her money.
And in this life, she has a relationship with Qiao's husband.
Of course, Tao Fanglin will not still sympathize with Qiao's heart, today's "heart-to-heart", the picture is nothing more than to use Qiao's to set off how she knows the rules, the more Qiao's disgust provokes Concubine Dong, the more she will be drawn by Concubine Dong, before King Zhou wins the throne, harmony with Concubine Dong's wife and concubine is a necessary premise, King Zhou needs the support of the Duke of Jin, she can succumb to Concubine Dong, isn't this how the Gu family can stand tall in the Zhou Palace, and occupy the favor of King Zhou?
She is such an orphan girl who has nothing, and she has become the envy of women in Kyoto, who doesn't know that although Gu Cairen is a side room, she can win King Zhou's sincerity? Gu Chungui wanted to be windy and rainy in the Zhou Palace, but the princess of Zhou praised the Gu family's virtuous and intelligent when she met people, which led to how many aristocratic officials and relatives were courteous to the side room, if it weren't for Gu's thin life, he would have died later......
It is even possible that the mother will be the world!
How could Chun Gui have thought that Tao Cairen's plan was to step on her past footsteps? This son Concubine Dong temporarily walked away because of family matters, she and Feng Niangzi were still chatting, Feng Niangzi lowered her voice, and just mentioned Tao Fanglin: "Although Tao Cairen is a relative of the lady, I still have to say, I really can't look down on her style, although Qiao Cairen is arrogant, but shallow in his scheming, although he is not likable, but in comparison, Tao Cairen's smiling tiger is more terrifying." ”
Feng Niangzi usually doesn't like to talk about others behind her back, she said such things today, she naturally has her own intentions: "I and the princess are meeting for the first time, and some words are inevitably taboo, so I said it to Gu Niangzi, Gu Niangzi will believe me, and remind the princess to be careful of some Tao talents." ”
Chungui originally had a very good impression of Feng Niangzi, and after hearing this, he felt more and more that the hero saw the same thing: "My cousin is indeed scheming, and she is used to calculating others, and I am usually far away from her, but I didn't expect Ah Hui to know that she was a relative of the Taishi Mansion, and for the sake of Princess Zhou, she could also point out the terrible things about Tao Cairen so frankly." ”
