Three days later, Xia Mengning got up early, was served by Jiu'er and dressed up, and then took a carriage to prepare to go to the Changting River.

Now Tanglin Xingluo borrowed this name to make close friends in the capital, because she came from the Western Regions and was not very familiar with the capital, so she took this opportunity to make more friends.

Changting River is a river in the south of the capital, the river water is injected from the north, runs through the entire northern country, as early as the beginning of the founding of the northern country, there are businessmen who fancy the business opportunities in it, and build a lot of shops along the river, most of them are mainly calligraphy, painting and jade, because of the fame of the Changting River, many young masters are willing to rent a boat to enjoy the scenery on the river, so this calligraphy and painting and jade are naturally indispensable for them who are vassals and elegant.

Xia Mengning took the carriage to the Changting River, got off the carriage and saw that there were people coming and going everywhere, today Tanglin Xingluo wrapped up the boats and boats on the entire river, and also sent a lot of guards to guard here, so although this place is full of people, but the place near the river, there are not many people who dare to approach.

Xia Mengning took Jiu'er's hand and walked out of the carriage, Wu Qing, who was driving the carriage on the side, jumped down from the carriage with a sword on his back, and when he saw this meeting, Wu Qing whistled excitedly and said with a smile: "It's really the princess's pomp, so powerful to cover the entire river." ”

Xia Mengning took the handkerchief and tapped her lips, glaring at Wu Qing, "Don't babble, be careful of being caught by others." ”

Wu Qing stuck out her tongue mischievously and poked Jiu'er with her elbow, "You accompany Miss to the boat in a while, and I'll go around to see the terrain." ”

Xia Mengning walked forward, turned her head sideways and whispered, "Be careful, don't be discovered." ”

Wu Qing blinked and quietly slipped away.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er walked forward together, Donglin Xingluo was standing there greeting the guests, today's Tanglin Xingluo wore a red peony brocade robe, covered with a plate-buckle Fuwen pattern horse coat of the same color, combed with a cumbersome lily flowing cloud bun, the hairpin with a hollow flying phoenix red gold step swaying, the whole person is as dazzling as the sun, eye-catching.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er walked to the front, and Donglin Xingluo maintained a dignified and decent smile on her face, and greeted: "I have met the county lord of Hehe, and it is really an honor for the county lord to be here. ”

Xia Mengning sneered in her heart, but she also had a dignified and deferential smile on her face, "Don't dare, it is also an honor for the county lord to be invited by the princess of the county." ”

At this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was Zheng Ruilan and Xia Mengran.

When it comes to grades, Zheng Ruilan and Xia Mengran are both ungraded, so they naturally want to salute Xia Mengning, Zheng Ruilan bowed uprightly, but Xia Mengran was twisting and pinching, unwilling to salute Xia Mengning.

Tanglin Xingluo had long expected this scene, and the eldest grandson Mo instructed himself not to clash with Xia Mengning head-on today, so as not to spoil the big thing, so he sent someone to deliberately lead the carriage of the palace around a few times early in the morning, and when Xia Mengning came, he would bring them back here, so that Xia Mengning and Zheng Ruilan could collide head-on, and he could not clash with Xia Mengning head-on, so let Xia Mengran come forward, the bad relationship between their sisters has been known by more than one person, and now that they collide like this, they are not afraid that they will not be able to add blockage to Xia Mengning's heart.

Thinking of this, Tanglin Xingluo stood aside and deliberately put on a posture and said, "Second lady, who is this one behind you?" Why didn't you salute when you saw the concubine and the lord of Hehe? Could it be that the combined face of the concubine and the lord of Hehe is not big enough? ”

Xia Mengning sneered in her heart, this Tanglin Xingluo really couldn't live in peace for a moment, and wanted to deliberately provoke an incident?

Zheng Ruilan was stunned for a moment, and then saw the meaning of Tanglin Xingluo, no matter what, Xia Mengran and Xia Mengning both hated each other, and now if they can take revenge with Donglin Xingluo's hand, why not?

Thinking of this, Zheng Ruilan hurriedly saluted sideways and said, "Don't blame the princess of the county, this is Aunt Ran of the palace, maybe she has never seen this kind of scene, and she may be a little frightened." ”

What he said was a disguised indication that Xia Mengran was short-sighted and had no knowledge.

Xia Mengran was so relieved that his face had turned the color of pig liver, but he didn't dare to speak, his current identity was here, where would it be his turn to speak?

Tanglin Xingluo listened, pretended to be surprised and leaned over to take a look, then covered his mouth and withdrew his eyes, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be this Aunt Ran, eh?" How does Concubine Ben remember that Aunt Ran is the concubine of the county lord of Hehe...... Why not only don't you say hello, but also don't salute, is this the rule of the Prime Minister's Mansion like this, although this daughter is married, but how to say that she is also a person who walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you do things outside like this, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of other people in the mansion......"

When Zheng Ruilan heard this, she turned sideways without a trace, exposing Xia Mengran behind her to everyone, not wanting to have anything to do with it.

Xia Mengning's face was indifferent, and he turned his head sideways to look at the surrounding scenery, as if he didn't care at all about Donglin Xingluo's scolding.

Xia Mengran's face was blushing, now it is not a salute, nor is it a salute, but for a while, Xia Mengran was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to raise his head down.

Tanglin Xingluo saw that Xia Mengning was not tricked, and he was indignant, but he refused to let go of such a good opportunity, rolled his eyes, and Donglin Xingluo continued: "However, this concubine heard that Aunt Ran lost her child a few days ago, and she must be sad in her heart, and it is reasonable to forget the etiquette at this time, so don't blame the county lord of Hehe." ”

After saying this, it turned into Xia Mengning blaming Xia Mengran for not saluting, Xia Mengran listened, secretly raised her head to look at Xia Mengning on the side, and saw that Xia Mengning was looking around at the scenery as if it was none of her business, and couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, no matter what she said, she was a family with her, she was so ruthless that she embarrassed herself in front of everyone and didn't relieve herself.

Xia Mengran was angry in her heart, so she stabilized her mind, and weakly walked in front of Xia Mengning to give a blessing, and said sadly: "The concubine has seen the county lord, the county lord Wan'an." ”

There seems to be infinite grievances and reluctance in this voice, Xia Mengran was already wrapped in light makeup, but now such a salute is even more delicate, making the eyes of many princes and grandsons around look over here.

Xia Mengning turned her head, and said in a faint voice: "Get up." ”

Xia Mengran didn't expect Xia Mengning to be like this, so how could she show her grievances and Xia Mengning's arrogance in front of everyone.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengran not only did not get up, but continued to lower his body, "The county lord doesn't forgive the concubine, the concubine doesn't dare to get up, ask the county lord to forgive the concubine." ”

said, as if he had suffered some great grievance, he secretly bowed his head and wept, looking like he had been bullied by Xia Mengning.

Many people around looked over here, and many of the newly arrived daughters and sons came over at the same time, and began to whisper to each other when they saw this scene.

"This Hehe County Lord is really, how can you make your sister ugly in public......"

"That's right, I think it's great to be the county lord, and it's not the glory that I got by showing up, what is there to show off......"

"That's it, the ladies of the eight classics won't do that kind of livelihood......"

Xia Mengning looked at Xia Mengran lightly, and said in a calm tone: "Aunt Ran, if you are like this, I will go to my father to evaluate the reasoning, and ask Aunt Ran why every time she gets along with me outside, she has to pretend like this, so that I can't get off the stage?" ”

Xia Mengran was stunned for a moment, her tears were fierce, and she cried and cried: "The county lord spares his life, the county lord spares his life, now that you are the county lord, you naturally say whatever you say, and the concubine doesn't dare to argue with you." ”

Xia Mengning held his forehead and glanced at Xia Mengran in disgust, I don't know why Xia Mengran, who used to be very energetic, became so stupid, but he couldn't see Tanglin Xingluo's clumsy sowing discord, and jumped into the pit dug by others.

Is it so annoying to you?

Xia Mengning rubbed her temples tiredly, sighed and said: "I have never blamed you, you didn't salute and I didn't force you to salute me, do you say this to make these people think that I am wrong, so as to pity you?" Fifth sister, if I am so ruthless, there will be many ways, is it possible that I can still let you cry in front of me like this now? ”

"The county lord really didn't embarrass others, and this palace can testify to this."

At this moment, a majestic voice came, everyone turned their heads, and saw Zheng Yuxiu, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, walking over, followed by the eldest grandson Xinyue and a group of young ladies.

Seeing Zheng Yuxiu, everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted, Zheng Yuxiu said with a smile: "The scenery of Changting River is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, even the palace can't help but want to come here to play, now the spring is just right, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, get on the boat and go boating." ”

Everyone nodded, and walked away in twos and threes, Xia Mengran was still half-squatting in place, looking at everyone in astonishment, Xia Mengning threw off the veil and said, "Fifth sister has good acting skills, is it possible that you have forgotten your current situation?" ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning glanced at Xia Mengran, then turned around and got on the big boat.

The seats have been set up on the boat, this is the largest boat on the Changting River, which can accommodate more than 100 people to sit down, Xia Mengning sat on the seat arranged by the maid, and it was the eldest grandson Xinyue beside her.

"Sister Xia." The eldest grandson Xinyue excitedly took Xia Mengning's hand and called affectionately, "Sister Xia, what have you been busy with these days, I want to go and play with you, but Brother Shizi said that you are busy, so I won't disturb you." ”

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Has the princess forgotten what I'm doing now, isn't it just those things in the shop, I'm busy every day, and I can't spare time." ”

When the eldest grandson Xinyue heard this, she lowered her voice in some embarrassment, and said, "Sister Xia, they all say that you are self-deprecating like this, not everyone's beautiful behavior......

Xia Mengning smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said: "Although I am a woman, I also hope to contribute to the country. ”

The eldest grandson Xinyue listened, and looked at Xia Mengning with some admiration, "Sister Xia, you are so powerful, no wonder my father often praises you in front of me, saying that you have insight and courage, and you are a rare intelligent woman." ”
