Heavy rain in Zhejiang Prefecture caused sudden floods, and more than 10 embankments collapsed, killing and injuring hundreds of people for a time. In order to be happy, the emperor issued a decree yesterday morning to give a marriage to celebrate with the whole world, and gave a good fate to Prince Sheng's beloved daughter Yu Wenmingjun and Shangguan Yiyu, the eldest son of Shangguan Prime Minister.

Due to the young age of the county lord, the wedding date is scheduled for June next year, and there is plenty of time to prepare the dowry. This marriage has been promised by both families earlier, and the prince will protect the media, and the queen will personally officiate the marriage in the coming year. When the news came out, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the nobles of the capital city congratulated the two governments in advance.

The officials of the six ministries who were originally in the court for the candidates for disaster relief were red-faced, but they stopped a lot at once. Today's first noble prince is about to marry Shangguan Cheng, the head of the civil officials, but this marriage is first guaranteed by the prince, which has to make people speculate.

At night, Bai Muguan sat under the lamp with one hand on his cheek. Outside, because of the "bustle" of this royal marriage, she had nothing to do with it, and her brain was running fast, pondering the conspiracy that awaited her at the banquet tomorrow. She has been in the capital for more than half a year and has already made many enemies, and she can't imagine what kind of storm awaits her if she really marries into the East Palace in the future? Isn't it every day that you are exhausted with people?

Slowly getting up, the girl's slender figure stood by the window, and when she raised her eyes, she could see the concentric knot she asked for from the Qinglong Temple. A few days ago, the Heavenly Destiny Xiangyun hung it high on the beam of the house, praying that it could be fulfilled as soon as possible. Although she still rejects the embarrassing identity of the side room in her heart, she is more eager for this title now, a name that can justifiably accompany him for a long time.

Bi Long walked in with mouthwash tea, and saw the girl with a slightly sad face by the independent window, and hurriedly persuaded: "Miss should rest early, and Ming'er will get up early to dress up to celebrate her birthday." ”

The girl turned her head when she heard the voice, and suddenly asked, "Your Highness is staying in the study tonight?"

Bi Long shook his head invisibly and said truthfully, "Your Highness has gone to Mulan Pavilion." ”

It's Mulan Pavilion again!

For His Royal Highness the Prince, who has never been close to women, to be able to stay in Mulan Pavilion for two days in a row, I have to say that Zheng Yuan does have some ability.

Bai Muguan only felt that her soft heart was stabbed by the embroidery needle, and it was painful after the numbness, so painful that she couldn't help but close her eyes, for fear that tears would flow out.

Who is the master behind Zheng Yuan? There is no way to investigate for the time being, so we can only wait and see what happens. It is impossible for Yu Wenye to keep a spy by his side for a long time, so he pretends to approach first, and then touches the vine when she shows her feet as soon as possible.

"His Royal Highness has rewards for Zheng Ji from time to time, rare treasures and tributes, I'm afraid he wants to impress her with glory and wealth." Bi Long lowered her voice and whispered.

Since ancient times, glory and wealth are the most touching, and women are young and meticulous, and most of them are from humble backgrounds. If you are carried away by grace and wealth, let alone show your feet, it is possible to turn against you.

Bai Muguan was silent, and then asked, "How is Tong Liangdi?" Is she disrespectful to her sister these days? ”

She knew that Ye Shiying was too polite and modest, and her temperament was gentle and gentle, but she was nominal on the surface as a princess, and Yu Wenye treated her quite coldly. Thinking that Tong Yao, who has the support of Queen Tong, will not take such a childless and unfavored princess in his eyes.

Tong Liangdi has been in the East Palace for many days and is still in a complete body, presumably she is angry in her heart. However, it seems that he has an excellent upbringing, and he goes to Qiushui Pavilion on time every day to settle the province in the morning and dusk, and occasionally accompanies the princess to have lunch. But the slave listened to the gossip of the maid in Furong Pavilion, and Tong Liangdi hated Zheng Ji so much, but she didn't have a chance to help her. "Bi Long is an old man in the East Palace, with good ears and eyes, and reliable sources.

But she sensed that something was wrong with these words: "What does it mean that there is no chance to help her?" Tong Liangdi is now a serious master second only to the crown princess, with the queen's mother's favoritism, and the Cheng'en Mansion supporting her. Zheng Yuan is just a singer, even if His Royal Highness is fortunate to be promoted to become a concubine, she is still lowly. ”

"This ......," Bi Long lowered his head and sighed lightly, "Because His Highness ordered that without his order, no one should set foot in the Mulan Pavilion and disturb Zheng Ji at will." even threatened to promise that if Zheng Ji was pregnant and gave birth, he would ask her to be named a good yuan. ”

Bai Muguan laughed instead of anger after hearing this: "It's okay, I know it in my heart, you step back first." ”

Bi Long glanced at her young lady with a little worry, and then silently retired. After she left, Bai Muguan laughed more and more, Bi Long must have thought that Yu Wenye had a heart for Zheng Yuan, afraid that she would be sad.

However, how could Yu Wenye allow Zheng Yuan, who has an unknown background, to get pregnant? It's obviously just a ploy. Even if she was really pregnant, he would never let her give birth to a child, unless he lost his mind and wanted to be restrained by a delicate child and get off the throne as soon as possible.

Thinking that it was just an expedient measure, Bai Muguan's mood gradually calmed down, and he walked to the bed in the back room and fell asleep. During the day, it takes a lot of energy to worry about it, and it is in the prime of youth, and it is a good night to sleep deeply after falling into the pillow.

The next day, when Xiangyun and Bilong came in together to wake up their young lady, they suddenly found that Bai Muguan was already sitting straight in front of the dresser.

Xiangyun handed over the face towel with a smile, and did not forget to compliment it in her mouth: "Miss woke up really early today, and her complexion is very good." ”

Unexpectedly, he touched a soft nail: "When am I in bad weather?" ”

Xiangyun grimaced and echoed in time: "Yes, yes, Miss is good anywhere, and she will definitely dominate the crowd again today." ”

Bai Muguan nodded with satisfaction, after all, it is a teenage daughter's family, and she is naturally beautiful, how can she not have a little vanity? The biggest change since returning to Beijing is that she began to live like a girl and no longer dress up every day. If my father and mother saw her thin Shi Fan Dai and the grace of wearing Qiluo, they would definitely be amazed.

Since she had to go, she naturally dressed up carefully, and first extinguished the limelight of Sima Ning and others.

……

Let's say that there is a lot of traffic in front of Chunxi Building, and it is so lively. The carriages with the marks of each province were lined up, and the ladies with gorgeous dresses and exquisite makeup took their daughters of appropriate age to the banquet and walked towards the Chunxi Building.

Chunxi Mansion is not open to the public today, more than a dozen dignified maids are responsible for welcoming guests at the door, and the female dependents with particularly noble status are greeted by the younger generation of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion such as Yao Xilin and others.

It is said that Mrs. Weiyuan Hou is not a full birthday, and she will not make a big show if she changes others, but she loves to be lively, and sent the family Ding to the people with heads and faces in the capital to hand over invitations. Except for a few people who really have important things to do, most of them come to the banquet with gifts because of the face of the Hou Mansion.

Bai Muguan didn't go early or late, the carriage stopped steadily at the door of Chunxi Building, and the girl in the car lifted the curtain unhurriedly and saw a familiar petite figure outside the car.

Before he could think about it, Bai Muguan raised his voice and shouted, "Sister Shen." ”

The moment Shen Fu turned around when he heard the voice, Bai Muguan had already stepped out of the carriage.

Shen Fu's eyes showed sincere joy, and she trotted forward happily: "Sister Bai, you are here too!" ”

"You're coming alone?" Bai Muguan lightly glanced at the mother-in-law and maid standing beside her, and the fox asked.

Shen Fu nodded: "Grandmother has not been in good health these days, and my mother stayed in the mansion to serve her illness, so she asked my eldest brother to send me to the banquet, which is also considered to be the number of courtesies to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

"Where's your eldest brother?" Perhaps thinking that it was inappropriate to blurt out this sentence, Bai Muwan paused and then added, "It doesn't matter if the old lady is sick, right?" ”

"Today, all the female relatives are coming to the banquet, and it is inconvenient for the eldest brother to stay here, lest he collide with any girl. My grandmother had a cold, but then somehow she had a high fever. Last night, the decoction did not enter, and my father was anxious to enter the palace to seek a royal doctor, and now his condition is much more stable, and the specific cause has not yet been discovered. As he spoke, Shen Fu sighed softly.

Seeing this, Bai Muguan held her little hand, the temperature of the palm of her hand was as warm as the smile on her face: "That's it, the old lady will be fine, don't worry so much when you go to the mansion for the banquet." ”

Shen Fu nodded and did not forget to smile back.

While speaking, the two girls walked hand in hand into the lobby of Chunxi Building. The table is set up as a round table, with a table of ten people, because all the women are dependents, there is no need to divide the male and female seats, and the guests are allowed to sit at will.

Looking at the distinguished guests, I want to come to a full house today. Even Yu Wenmingjun, the county lord of Prince Sheng's Mansion who had just been married two days ago, also came, and at this moment he was being flattered and flattered by many ladies in the center. There are more than a dozen maids and grandmothers in the palace around, with a golden branch and jade leaf style.

The sharp-eyed Yao Xilin crossed the crowd, and suddenly saw Bai Muguan who came in, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Muguan is really a rare guest, it was so easy to invite you, and the shelf is comparable to the princess and county lord." ”

The first sentence of her mouth was sarcastic, and she was big!

Bai Muguan's eyes swept over Yao Xilin's beautiful face, as if he had easily seen through the hypocrisy behind the smile, and only pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yao Xilin saw that the other party's expression was cold, instead of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, it was better to say hello to Shen Fu: "Sister Shen is also here, please sit inside!" Sister Lin and Sister Li both arrived, so they were there to laugh with my mother. ”

Shen Fu nodded slightly, and pulled Bai Muguan over with him, Yao Xilin pretended to guide them a few steps and turned back to greet other ladies. Seeing her clever appearance, Bai Muguan's heart was gloomy, and Yao Xilin, who was once upon a time, was also innocent and unworldly.

I didn't have time to sigh and sigh, and Mrs. Weiyuanhou's loud voice had already entered my ears: "Oh, Mu Wan, come on, let me take a look at you for a few years." ”

Previously, whether it was the Hundred Flowers Banquet or the birthday celebration of the Duke of Wei, Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis did not go for some reason. Although the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet and the Shangyuan Festival went, there was no time to talk to Bai Muguan privately. Speaking of which, it is still the first time Bai Muguan has met Mrs. Weiyuan Hou after returning to Beijing, and of course it is also the first time to fight.

It is true that after a few years, she has grown into a slim girl, but the pampered Mrs. Weiyuan Hou still has the same face, obviously she is nearly forty years old, and she looks like a young woman in her early twenties. The still slender figure is hidden in the Baohu Languang sleeve peony brocade skirt, and the cuffs and the tail of the skirt are embroidered with Cantonese embroidery needles. Wearing a complete set of jadeite heads with excellent color is more luxurious and magnificent.

Sitting on the mahogany twig chair, he compared the noble ladies beside him.

"The younger generation congratulates Mrs. on her birthday, and specially prepares a pair of blue and white porcelain cranes and turtle eight treasure vases, hoping that Mrs. will be as blessed as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan." After that, Bai Muguan blessed his body, knew etiquette and etiquette, but his words revealed obvious politeness and alienation.

Don't talk about anything else, according to the past, Bai Muguan should call his aunt affectionately, not a lady who is not salty or light.

Without waiting for Mrs. Weiyuanhou's expression to change, Shen Fu followed closely and took half a step forward: "Shen Fu, the younger generation of the Duke of Wei, congratulates Mrs. on her birthday, this small coral potted plant is a tribute to the Western Regions, which is lining Mrs. Lady's temperament. ”

Mrs. Weiyuanhou's shrewd eyes swept over the gifts in the hands of the maids behind the two of them, and she already knew it in her heart. The color of this red coral in the Mansion of Wei is indeed a rare top grade, but unfortunately it is too small, and the princely family is not surprised by the small coral, at most it is put in the bedroom to watch it by itself.

As for the pair of blue and white porcelain vases brought by Bai Muguan, the cranes and turtles are all things that imply longevity, and fools also know that they are the most suitable for birthday gifts. There is nothing new to say, and she didn't spend any effort to think about it, so she ordered the maid to take it casually.

This shows that the Shen family has no intention of deep friendship, and the Bai family is planning to alienate the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion!

Despite this, the smile on her lips did not decrease, but increased: "You are all good boys, and the gifts you have sent are very good for me." In the blink of an eye, when you grow up, you are not only smart, but also so sensible, knowing that you are thinking about the friendship of the world and walking around for the elders, which can be described as both graceful and virtuous. ”

Shen Fu casually responded with a few words. Bai Muguan smiled lightly, acquiescing in Mrs. Weiyuanhou's praise of them, pretending not to understand that the other party's key was to knock "worry about the world's friendship".

Joke, the so-called world friendship is a generational exchange, Bai Zhanyi and Wei Yuanhou have only been colleagues for a few years, how can we talk about the word world friendship? It's just that the new marquis of the Bai family is in the emperor's heart, and he wants to take advantage of it. If one day the Bai family suffers, the fox-like Weiyuan Marquis Mansion must be the first to turn his face and deny people!

As for Shen Fu and Yao Xilin, they don't have the same temperament, and they are just superficial. The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion had even less friendship, and at this time, she planned to leave after laughing a few words. Instead of playing official with the elders, it is better to have fun chatting with girls of the same age about interesting things about the boudoir.

happened to find Lin Yu'er sitting alone in a daze, Shen Fu took the opportunity to smile and said, "Madam, I saw that the sister of the Lin family was alone, and Sister Bai and I went to accompany her." ”

I thought that Mrs. Weiyuan Hou couldn't take care of their juniors, but she replied with a smile: "You go first, Mu Wan stays with me to chat." ”

Bai Muguan was slightly startled, and raised her head to meet Mrs. Weiyuan Hou's eyes, it seemed that the wind and rain that had been waiting for her for a long time had finally come.

In the first confrontation, Mrs. Weiyuanhou, who was smiling brightly in front of her, was unfathomable, thinking that she was still involved in the Xixi Palace, Bai Muguan could only be at ease when she came, and said with a calm smile: "It's okay, Sister Shen is going to accompany Sister Lin, I also have something to say to Mrs. alone." ”
