Chapter 131: Finding Fault and Finding Fault in the Palace
Not long after the wedding of the Marquis of Weiyuan and the newly talented Shen Xingjian, another grand event came from the capital.
The queen held a flower-viewing meeting in the Yufu Palace, and invited the wives and ladies of all the officials above the sixth rank in the capital.
For a while, all the official wives and ladies went straight to Hua Yuxuan to run non-stop, and a lot of gold hairpin jewelry was also ordered, all wanting to win the first prize at the queen's flower viewing party in one fell swoop.
Zhong Xiaoshu, as the wife of the four-rank general, is naturally also invited.
But she is not like the lady next to her who is in full swing of preparation, as always, tinkering with some delicious food, but Nianwu still can't stand it, urging her to prepare some dresses.
Zhong Xiaoshu also persuaded her, "It's the queen's mother, Rao is our courtier's wife and girl are dressed up beautifully, can it be that she can overpower the queen's demeanor?" Therefore, just deal with it generously and calmly, without being too grand. ”
After hearing this, Nianwu was thoughtful, and was silent for a long time, but still couldn't help but say, "Even so, Mrs. should go to Huayu Xuanbao Comb Workshop more often, and now many ladies are going, even if you make friends with one or two." ”
I always feel that this lady of her family is immersed in delicious food all day long, but she is negligent in Yahui, and she has been in the capital for so long, and she is only close to Miss Ning.
But Mrs. Ming is not such a stupid person, she has her own rules and regulations when she talks and gets along, and if she really wants to make friends, she must be able to make friends.
"Hey, I've been bitten once, and I'm afraid of them."
Zhong Xiaoshu shook her head, as soon as she thought of the fifth princess Ying Shuangshuang, the "White Lotus" county lord, and the eldest princess who treated Ning Shuya harshly, and even visited the dignified and arrogant lady of General Changwu at the beginning, ignoring her existence, she felt that these noble ladies were used to acting and wearing masks, and they were really tired of making friends.
As for best friends, one or two is enough, and those who are greedy for quantity.
In this way, he was dragged over by Zhong Xiaoshu without being salty, and soon it was the day of the flower-viewing conference.
Early in the morning, Zhong Xiaoshu was caught by Nian Wu and carefully dressed up.
Even if you are not high-profile and brilliant, you can't lose your identity.
Because it was summer, the skirt went back and forth with several layers of light shirts, and there were not too many tricks to come out, so Zhong Xiaoshu followed Nianwu to tinker.
When I looked at the bronze mirror after finishing the work, I really relied on clothes.
Dressed in a light blue dress, it does not look too heavy and glamorous, but also elegant and quiet, Zhong Xiaoshu looks quite like a clear water hibiscus, very beautiful.
Zhong Xiaoshu nodded, fully affirmed Nian Wu, and then with a smile, he got into the carriage and entered the palace.
This is the first time she has entered the palace, and it is false to say that she is not nervous and curious.
This is the most prosperous and noble place in the world!
But Zhong Xiaoshu also knows the most important rules in the palace, even if he is curious, he walks among the noble ladies in a regular manner.
Everyone followed a palace maid from the palace gate to Yufu Palace, and met the queen mother together.
Zhong Xiaoshu lagged behind, took a cursory look, and saw that the queen mother of the dynasty was very young, and she looked only about twenty-five or sixteen.
For the queen, Zhong Xiaoshu knows something.
The above one is not the original queen, the first queen has died of illness a long time ago, this is the emperor's new step-queen a few years ago.
The queen is dressed in a phoenix robe, with an excellent demeanor, and she has the temperament of a mother.
As everyone kowtowed, "Participate in the queen!"
The queen nodded, beckoned gently, and the big palace maid beside her got the order, so she came out and gave a few orders.
Zhong Xiaoshu couldn't hear it very clearly, but when he saw that the ladies in front of him got up with a smile, he relaxed a little, and then everyone dispersed, and the garden was set up in twos and threes.
The whole Yufu Palace is full of flowers and potted plants, as if it is in a fairyland, impatiens and peonies, hibiscus roses, and even a pool of lotus daffodils with buds to be released, it is really charming, and thousands of flowers are competing to open.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoshu couldn't help but think of the wedding agreement with Yin Zhige, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
It's a pity that before I had time to go up to enjoy the flowers, I was disturbed by an arrogant snort.
"Why did the queen mother invite this man! She is just a village woman, where is she qualified to enter the palace and enjoy the flowers with us! ”
Zhong Xiaoshu's footsteps paused slightly, and he felt that his head began to ache faintly.
If you don't hear whose voice it is, then it is the village woman who opens her mouth and closes her mouth, and she can know who it is!
Sure enough, when I turned around, it was the fifth princess Zhao Linglong!
She was dressed in a delicate yellow palace suit, and she looked very delicate, but what she said in her mouth did not save Zhong Xiaoshu face at all.
"I'm afraid you don't even know how powerful this Mrs. Yin is! I've seen it. On that day, I deigned to go with them to congratulate her on her new move, this Mrs. Yin is very good, not only does she not understand the rules, she doesn't give me a courtesy, but she also insults me in turn, and even forced my cousin An Ning to almost cry! ”
"What a gentle and kind person Cousin An Ning is! She was wronged, and she was so aggrieved that such a barbarian woman is only afraid that only those who don't know what country they come from are so ignorant of the rules! Zhao Linglong glared at her, "Hurry up and let her go!" I feel like my eyes are dirty when I see her now! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was chatting about the flowers just now was stunned.
The fifth princess said this too ruthlessly, she was simply slapping Zhong Xiaoshu's face in public!
But Zhao Linglong is also known for being coquettish and willful, even the prince can't stand her, and she has made trouble in public several times, so all the ladies looked subtle for a while, and they didn't make much noise.
After all, listening to what the fifth princess said this time, it seems that this Mrs. Yin really seems to have a problem......
Most of the people around were silent and dignified, but at the same time, they couldn't help but surround this piece and watch this good show.
Zhong Xiaoshu stood in the middle, quietly listening to Zhao Linglong's chatter before speaking, and said with a faint smile, "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, farewell that day, goodbye this time, it is really undiminished, and the momentum is still better than before." ”
A good four or two thousand pounds, Zhao Linglong was stunned with a light sentence, she was stunned for a moment, and said fiercely, "It's useless for you to praise me now!" I don't deserve your compliments. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu smiled, and said in his heart that this little princess is really a child, very innocent.
But the mouth said, "The courtiers are not compliments, but facts." So please don't lie to the fifth princess, since you talk about the first time you met, why not tell it all, only say a little bit of it, it's too easy for people to misunderstand, it's not important to misinterpret the people's women, if everyone has a misunderstanding of the princess, wouldn't it be inappropriate? ”
"Fifth princess, do you think what I said is right?"
Zhong Xiaoshu smiled slightly, and in just one sentence, she gave all the accusations of Zhao Linglong just now, and refuted them with etiquette and etiquette, so that the loopholes in her scolding just now were suddenly exposed.
