Just when Li Yanxu was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, a maid entered the house and said, "The maid of the Lin Mansion asks to see the princess, will the princess see her?" ”

Lan Yucheng and Li Yanxu glanced at each other, they must have come for the incident that fell into the water just now.

Princess Luo thought for a moment and said, "Please come in." ”

Not long after, Mrs. Lin helped the old lady into the wing of Prince Luo's Mansion in Shuiming Temple, and the maids stayed outside.

The lady let go of the hand holding the old lady, took a step behind the old lady, and said goodbye to Prince Luo in both directions.

"The old body greets Prince and Princess Luo."

"Concubine to Prince Luo and Princess Luo."

Prince Luo smiled kindly and said pleasantly, "Old lady Lin, please get up quickly." As he spoke, he instructed the maid next to him, "Serve tea." ”

From the moment the old lady entered the door, she had already found that Prince Luo and Prince Li were both present, presumably the princess should already know the cause and effect.

"The old man came today to pay his respects to the son. The three girls in my family accidentally fell into the water, but fortunately I met Shizi passing by at that time, and I would like to thank Shizi for coming to the rescue. The old lady looked at Lan Yucheng gratefully.

"Mrs. Lin is really too polite, since she has met, it is her duty to come forward to rescue. Mrs. Lin doesn't have to worry about it. It's the third lady of your family, who was frightened this time, is there anything wrong with her body? Listening to the old lady of the Lin Mansion praising her son, the smile on Prince Luo's face became deeper and deeper.

"Thank you princess, the three girls are fine. I'm just a little frightened and recuperating. After waiting for a few days, the old body asked her to come to the door to greet the princess. ”

"I haven't seen her either, and it's good to see her. Otherwise, five days later, there will be a rose banquet in Prince Luo's mansion, and I heard that Mrs. Lin is also a person who cherishes flowers, so on that day, you can bring your third lady here. ”

The wife got up with a smile and said, "Thank you, Princess, I will have Princess Lao to take care of you that day." "Since she married to the Lin Mansion as a stepmother, although she has also participated in small banquets, and every time she brings the second lady Mengqi. But Prince Luo, as a prince, is being favored. In this flower banquet, there must be some high-ranking dignitaries and dignitaries, and compared with those on weekdays, it must be much grander.

Princess Luo smiled and picked up the tea, and the old lady knew that this was the meaning of sending off guests, so she quickly got up and said, "The third girl is still lying in the wing, and the old body is really relieved, so she will leave." ”

"Mrs. Lin walks slowly, Chunxiao, send Mrs. Lin off."

After the ladies of the Lin Mansion left, after Princess Luo said a few words without saltiness, she glanced at Li Yanxu. Li Yanxu also retired and left with interest.

Princess Luo pulled her son to sit down and said, "Didn't you say that the third lady of the Lin Mansion was frail and sick, and the Li Mansion proposed to dissolve the marriage contract?" How could this be, in a few days, the girl would be fine? ”

The son also wondered, when he saw the third young lady today, he was a little weaker, not like he had been in a hospital bed for a long time. As for why the marriage contract was dissolved, I also asked Brother Li. He said he was unaware of his fiancée's existence. So he never had any contact with him, and he didn't want to marry a woman he had never met and didn't know about Xing's feelings, so he proposed to withdraw from the marriage. And his father didn't seem particularly opposed. Lan Yucheng frowned and said things coherently.

"Isn't it, the Li Mansion really wants to marry the Mighty Marquis Mansion?" Princess Luo said worriedly.

"My son also probed Brother Li's tone, and it seems that he is not willing."

"Just because he doesn't want to do it doesn't mean their family won't do it." The princess paused and said, "The world has been decided, and the emperor is already old, how many people are staring at that seat." Although your father is now honorably favored, the throne has not been set for a day, and your father and king cannot sleep and eat. Your uncle, Prince Cheng, was appointed as the general of Fuyuan, and now he is still on the frontier, and he and your father have the highest voice in the court. Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng are from the Mighty Marquis Mansion, so the Mighty Marquis Mansion must be on Prince Cheng's side. Once the Li Mansion asks to marry the fourth lady of the Weiwu Hou Mansion in the future, it means that the Li family has decided to support Prince Cheng. You now have a deep personal relationship with the prince of the Li Mansion, how will you deal with yourself when the time comes? ”

Looking at her son, whose brows were getting deeper and deeper, Princess Luo was distressed, but she couldn't help but be reluctant. She only has this one son, and her life's hopes are in him. If he couldn't see through all this in front of him, how could he hold up the entire Prince Luo's Mansion. The winner is king, and the loser is the villain. Cheng was the best at that time, and in the future, the responsibility on his shoulders will only be heavier, but if he loses, no new emperor will be willing to put a hidden danger by his side, and he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots. If the situation really gets out of control, he must learn to protect himself.

Princess Luo patted Shizi's hand and said, "You think about it, let's go back later." There is still something to prepare for the flower banquet in five days. ”

After speaking, he instructed the maids to start preparing for the return trip.

On the other side, Mrs. Lin returned to the wing. found that Mengyu had not fallen asleep, and knew that she was worried about the affairs of the two maids.

"Grandmother, Mengyu thought you were ignoring people." Mengyu sat up and took the hand of the old lady sitting on the edge of the bed and said coquettishly.

"Do you still want a grandmother? Tell you to be careful, be careful, where did you listen to me? Do you really have to be sick to be over? The old lady was heartbroken and blamed.

"Grandmother, Mengyu knows that she is wrong, and Mengyu will never play like this next time. Grandmother will spare me. ”

The old lady snorted and asked, "How do you feel about your body?" He used his hand to feel the temperature of Mengyu's forehead.

Mengyu replied: "I was sweating from the quilt just now, but now it's much better." He deliberately put his sleeve on the tip of the old lady's nose: "Grandmother smelled it, and her dream words became stinky." ”

The old lady couldn't cry or laugh, and turned around and instructed Mei'er: "Tell the people below, prepare to pack up and go back." ”

He turned back and explained to Mengyu: "You lie down again, and when it's almost over, let Mei'er serve you to get up, and wait for the sedan chair to go down." ”

Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything from beginning to end to let Xing'er and Tao'er return to her, Mengyu was immediately disappointed. She knew that the old lady was angry, and if she persisted in interceding for them, it would only be more self-defeating. I had to lie down and not mention it.

Prince Luo's Mansion and Lin Mansion left Shuiming Temple one after another.

Lin House.

Mei'er followed the old lady's instructions and continued to stay by the third young lady's side Mengyu. Mengyu looked at the decent Mei'er, and felt depressed for a while. Since they came back from Shuiming Temple three days ago. The old lady gave a strict order to prohibit the third lady from going out of the room. Due to the failure to dissuade the young lady, the two big girls hit the fifteenth board and fined three months of monthly silver. The two mothers-in-law ignored the young lady's behavior, and drove out of the Lin Mansion after beating the twenty boards.

Mengyu can only stay in the room every day, write, read, do yoga, can't go out of the door for half a step, and has never seen Xing'er and Tao'er.

There was a knock at the door, "Miss, Madame has come to see you." Every time she practiced her handwriting, she used to shut everyone out of the room, and she was afraid that her handwriting would be too unsightly and arouse the suspicion of others.

After Mengyu heard Mei'er's words, she put away all the paper that had been practiced in her hand. Walked to the door, tossed his hair a little, and opened the door.

"Mother, why are you free?" Mengyu took his wife's hand and entered the room.

Mrs. looked at Mengyu, whose hair was a little messy, smiled and helped her tidy it up with her hand, and said, "Last time, the old lady asked me to help you make a new set of clothes, Yun Xiuji just sent it, I specially brought it over for you to try, and if it is not suitable, it is better to change it." As he spoke, Yao Huang, who was beside his wife, handed the clothes to Mei'er.

Mei'er waited for Mengyu to change the smoky-colored bandeau first, Mengyu's figure was slightly curvaceous, and she was wearing a lilac muslin dress outside, which made her a little mysterious.

Mengyu's usual clothes are pink, cyan, and lotus, and the first time I tried clothes of this color, it was also novel.

Mrs. smiled and helped Mengyu sort out her clothes, and said, "It is indeed a good craft, it looks temperamental, like a girl who can be married." ”

"Mother laughs at people." Yumeyu bowed her head shyly.

"There is also a box of jewelry, which is also new, you can choose a few pieces to match this dress." Zhao Fan stepped forward and opened the jewelry box, a dazzling array of steps, hairpins, earrings, jade pendants, bracelets, what you need, you can find inside. Mengyu is puzzled, it's new clothes, it's jewelry, is it a blind date? It can't be, that's too early. In this era, no matter how precocious you are, you can't get married at the age of twelve.

Mengyu couldn't figure it out, so she asked directly to his wife: "Mother, why are you suddenly wearing new clothes and jewelry?" ”

Mrs. pushed Mengyu to sit in front of the dresser, and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow, Princess Luo asked me to take you to the flower banquet, and when you go out for the first time, you will definitely dress up beautifully." Looking at the dream language in the mirror, Mrs. then said: "But the third lady of our family is naturally beautiful, and if she doesn't dress up, she must be more beautiful than flowers." ”

Speaking of Prince Luo's Mansion, Mengyu thought of the man who looked more bewitching than a woman - Lan Yucheng, the son of Prince Luo. Mengyu thought that he must dress up well, if he is compared to a man, it will be so faceless.

"It's just that why did Prince and Princess Luo suddenly ask my mother to take me to the flower banquet?"

"The last time you fell into the water, it was the prince who saved you by chance, your grandmother had already come to thank you when she was in the temple, in order to show her sincerity, you should have gone in person, and the princess proposed that the flower banquet in five days would be held, and I wanted me to take you to let her meet." Mrs. picked up a royal blue dotted emerald pearl hairpin and gestured on Mengyu's head.

It seems that my grandmother is preparing to let her take advantage of this opportunity to enter the high-class banquet of Kyoto ladies, so it is necessary to dress up so carefully. This is indeed a good opportunity, and she must also seize it firmly and never make any mistakes. After all, a princess's flower banquet is not an ordinary banquet that can be received.

"Otherwise, this is it." After a long time of choosing, Mrs. decided to use the royal blue dotted cuizhu hairpin and went in steadily.

"Let's go, go and let the old lady see if the third lady of our family is beautiful, so that she can feel at ease." Mengyu dressed up and followed his wife to the old lady's house.

When the old lady heard that they were coming, she sat up from her chaise longue. Looking at Mengyu's body, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Whose family is this little girl in Peugeot?" How do I feel like I've seen it somewhere? The old lady laughed to herself, and she twisted her handkerchief and laughed.

"Grandmother is as bad as mother, they all laugh at others and bully others!" Mengyu threw his veil, ignored the two elders who were laughing vigorously, and sat down towards the second seat on the right.

The old lady also beckoned her to sit down, and the lady walked to a seat in front of Mengyu and sat down. The maids began to serve tea.

"I also said that I haven't seen the three girls wear this color, and I'm afraid that she won't look good. Sure enough, the three girls in our family are beautiful, no matter how they wear them, they are all sinking fish and geese, and they are shy of flowers in the closed moon. ”

"Grandmother is so ashamed of others, Mengyu will never wear this dress again!"

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, don't laugh, the dream girl is going to be angry." After saying that, the old lady and the lady laughed again. Mengyu pretended to be angry, got up to leave, and the old lady hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't say it, come on, sit down, let's get down to business." ”

"Just now, the subordinates of Prince Luo's Mansion specially sent an invitation to the flower banquet two days later, I was thinking about what gift we should give? The princess is not short of head jewelry. The old lady turned her gaze to her with an inquiry.

"Did Mother think of anything?" The wife also did not express an opinion.

"I think I have a good pot of coral trees in my house, and they look elegant, or is this it?" The old lady discussed.

"That's my mother's dowry, and my mother should keep it for herself, it's also a thought." The wife paused, and then said, "I heard that Prince Luo is quite fond of dancing and making ink, which is why he has such a high reputation among the Chinese officials of the court. Do you want to send Braille paintings? The lady asked tentatively.

"It was Prince Luo who invited us to the flower banquet, and it was not the prince, and the princess who wanted to send it came true." The old lady vetoed the proposal.

"Grandmother, why don't you use a few pots of evening peonies that my mother gave me last time? Now it's a good time! Dream Yu said suggestively.

"Peony is also good, rich and expensive, I'm just afraid that these days will be happy, what if I start to thank you on that day?" The old lady worried.

"This is not in a hurry, my daughter-in-law still has a few pots that are not fully opened, and they will definitely bloom on that day." The lady laughed and came up with an idea.

"Okay, let's do it. You discuss with your master, and then pick a few calligraphy and paintings by famous artists to send together, and say that it is a thank you gift for the son. The old lady finally made a decision.

Sure enough, the wife's suggestion is also good, but the old lady is used to being the head of the family, since the wife got married, although the wife is in charge of the middle feed of the house, but the general direction of decision-making must still be discussed in front of the old lady.

Finally, it was the sixth day of the new year, and it was the day when Prince Luo's mansion held a flower banquet.

Early in the morning, Mengyu was woken up from her dream by Mei'er, and Zhao Tian's family went into the house to prepare her for makeup. In the past two days, in addition to being forced to read more poetry in the room, she went to her grandmother to practice those etiquette, which made her exhausted. There is a discovery of one thing that makes Mengyu can't help but be happy. She rummaged through all the poems in the room, and found that none of them were seen in her time, and all the poets were unrecognizable. What Tang poems and Song lyrics, what Li Bai Du Fu, here, all of them are not! This major discovery made her decide to develop in the direction of talented women. She has the accumulation of those when she was in school, which is enough to hell with those talented girls in Kyoto now.

Changed into the clothes and jewelry sent by his wife that day, and Mengyu, who was without makeup at this time, was no longer the Lin Mengyu who had no half of the flesh and a sickly face. Mei'er did as Mengyu commanded, but on her already very fair face, she blushed a little, swept the thin willow eyebrows with charcoal slightly, and her red lips were lightly touched with lip grease, but the improvement was much better.

Dream language suddenly inspired, I remember that when I used to read novels, I often had pear blossom makeup, peach blossom makeup, which I have never seen in this world. Immediately, he instructed Mei'er to take a fine brush, dip a small amount of pink paint, face the bronze mirror, and carefully draw the shape of five peach blossoms between the eyebrows, whether this is the so-called peach blossom makeup or not, the effect is good, it is really good.

After Mengyu finished painting, the audience was amazed. What do you mean by "the peach blossoms on the human face are red"? This is the real "face from rosette from beauty".

"Oh my God, Third Miss, how did you come up with that?" Mei'er exclaimed, her eyes full of amazement and envy.

"Hehe, that's what I thought of." Leaving the stunned crowd behind, Mengyu walked out of the room and headed towards the old lady's courtyard. Along the way, the sun was shining high, and the birds were singing, and I don't know why, everything I saw in my dream was beautiful, and the mood was so joyful.

"Grandmother, the dream is here." Before arriving at the main house of Xile Ju, the voice of Dream Whisper had already arrived.

"Come and show me." The old lady said to Mengyu. Mengyu walked up to the old lady, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "This Zhao Tian's craftsmanship is really good." Mengyu replied angrily: "This is what I remembered, and I drew it myself!" At this time, the wife also entered the door, saw Mengyu's makeup, pretended to cry and said with a sad face: "I dare to take our third lady out of the house, they have become flower fairies, and they are all going to ride the wind halfway, the old lady is looking for someone to ask me for, who am I looking for?!" The old lady smiled and said, "Look at your mother, everyone praises people for being so good, learn from your mother." Mengyu turned around and picked up the tea on the table, held it high in front of his wife, lowered his head and said, "Please accept my apprentice mother." After saying that, he raised his head and stuck out his tongue at his wife mischievously, and suddenly all three of them laughed.

After a burst of laughter, the old lady said with a little worry: "Novelty is novelty, but will it be a little undignified?" But no young lady dares to go out like this. Mengyu took the old lady's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, this is called a trend." Which young lady doesn't love beauty, just ask them to learn from me, that's what to do! ”

Under the repeated advice of the old lady, Mengyu followed his wife out. She is finally about to take her first step in Kyoto.
