Chapter 82: The Chrysanthemum Feast (3)
Seeing that Xia Mengning was at the back, Jiu'er was a little anxious, but she still asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Xia Mengning shook her head and secretly patted Jiu'er's hand.
Xia Mengran was unfamiliar with it, and also walked at the back of the team, seeing Xia Mengning walking slowly, his brain was hot, and he suddenly remembered that he had heard about the prince of Dingxi and the county lord of Ziran, and then looked at Xia Mengning's reaction, Xia Mengran was happy in his heart, and he thought about it.
"Third sister, third sister, what's wrong with you?" Xia Mengran suddenly turned around, walked to Xia Mengning's side, and shouted exaggeratedly.
Everyone hadn't gone far before, and when they heard Xia Mengran's voice, a few young ladies who were walking behind came forward to watch.
Xia Mengning was a little puzzled, and looked at Xia Mengran, who looked concerned, and didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
The large army stopped, and the eldest grandson Xinyue and Yu Ziran, who were walking in the front, also turned around and looked in Xia Mengran's direction with some confusion.
Xia Mengning didn't ignore the ruthlessness that flashed in Xia Mengran's eyes, and looked at the people who rushed over, Xia Mengning suddenly understood, it turned out that Xia Mengran wanted to lure the Seventh Princess and Yu Ziran over together.
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm infected with the wind chill and a little dizzy, just rest for a while." As she spoke, Xia Mengning handed Xia Mengran a 'so it was' smile, shook off her hand, walked to the side of the rockery, and sat down against the stone.
The eldest grandson Xinyue in front saw it, there was nothing curious, and then turned around and talked and laughed with Ziran beside her, Xia Mengran saw it, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in her heart, as if she was seen through by Xia Mengning.
"Isn't that the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Mengning, what's wrong with her......"
"When I first came, I was in the limelight, but if I really came out, I couldn't get on the stage......"
At this moment, a few young ladies in the crowd saw clearly that it was Xia Mengning, so they gathered together and whispered to each other.
A few days ago, it was rumored that the prince of Dingxi had affection for the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also gave the emperor a jade wrench, and now the princess looked at Xia Mengning differently, and these young ladies who secretly admired Changsun Yun couldn't sit still.
The eldest grandson Yun can marry anyone, after all, there are so many daughters of families in the capital, but the first son of the dignified family, how can he marry a concubine for the main family, even if it is a concubine, with the appearance and status of the eldest grandson, these young ladies are also very willing.
So look left and right, this Xia Mengning is passable in addition to her appearance, where can she be worthy of the dignified prince.
The third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion? As soon as the eldest grandson Xinyue was about to leave, she heard this word in the mouths of everyone, although she was in the palace, she had already heard of this third lady Xia Mengning of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sister Ziran liked Brother Shizi, and she also felt that people like Brother Shizi could only be worthy of Sister Ziran, who had a refined temperament, but she listened to Dong Wanwan, who accompanied her, said that Xia Mengning, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was very liked by Brother Shizi, and even her father gave her a gift.
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Xinyue couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of person is this person who can make the younger brother of the prince like?
"Sister Ziran, it turns out to be the third lady of the Xiangfu that the prince brother likes, let's go and have a look."
As he spoke, he took Yu Ziran's hand and walked over to Xia Mengning.
Xia Mengning originally thought that the large army would continue to move forward, but she really didn't want to meet with this rumored county lord, but this should always come, and blindly avoiding it was not a long-term solution.
Holding Jiu'er's hand, Xia Mengning stood up and reluctantly bent over: "The little girl Xia Mengning has seen the Seventh Princess and the Lord of Ziran. ”
These onlookers all know that the princess is very loved by the queen mother, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and the prince of Dingxi is a pair that has long been set, but the prince is eighteen, according to other men in the capital, there are probably a few children at this age, but the prince does not even have a side concubine, there are only two concubines sent by the prince and the emperor in the house, through this, it is not difficult to see that the prince does not look down on the prince of the county, and it has been rumored that the prince is particularly concerned about the third lady of the prime minister's mansion. One is the queen mother's favorite childhood sweetheart, and the other is the princess's favorite concubine woman, and now the two are on the right again, so it can be seen that there will be excitement next, so when I saw the eldest grandson Xinyue holding Yu Ziran's hand and coming over, everyone put on a good look.
"It turns out that you are that Xia Mengning, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion." The eldest grandson Xinyue looked at Xia Mengning carefully, and said, "Do you like Brother Shizi?" ”
Xia Meng straightened up, looked at the eldest grandson Xinyue and said with a smile: "This question of the princess, the little girl can't answer it." ”
The eldest grandson Xinyue didn't expect Xia Mengning to say this, and Yu Ziran on the side was also secretly looking at the woman in front of her at the moment, and when she heard Xia Mengning say this, she laughed softly: "Miss Xia, what's uncomfortable, do you want to go to the doctor to take a look?" ”
Xia Mengning shook her head and bent down: "Lord Xie cares, the little girl just feels a little cold and has a headache, just rest for a while, don't dare to disturb the princess and the county lord's Yaxing." ”
After Xia Mengning said this, she lowered her head, and Dong Wanwan, who was standing next to the eldest grandson Xinyue, saw it, and said with a smile: "If Miss Xia San is uncomfortable, she will go back to her home, this chrysanthemum banquet itself is to invite the ladies of various provinces to participate, presumably Miss Xia is not used to it." ”
When such ugly words came out, all the daughters who had long been unaccustomed to Xia Mengning covered their mouths and laughed softly, Xia Mengran stood aside and didn't know what to do, her face flushed.
"What Miss Dong said is very much, this chrysanthemum banquet held in the palace, Miss Dong knows more about the rules."
Xia Mengning had married Dong Wanwan as early as Xie's birthday, and now even in front of the princess and Yu Ziran, she couldn't be laughed at by Dong Wanwan in vain.
"You ......" Dong Wanwan was a little angry, but she controlled her temper very well, and said slowly: "The county lord and the prince are a pair appointed by the queen mother, you are just a concubine, and you still want to be able to compare with the prince of the previous world?" ”
Saying this, the eldest grandson Xinyue also has a bottom in her heart, Sister Ziran likes Brother Shizi so much, but this woman wants to make a stumbling block, she heard Dong Wanwan say a few months ago, this third lady of Xiangfu is a concubine, but her mind is extremely vicious, not only forced away her mother and sister-in-law, but also shamelessly seduced Brother Shizi, Sister Ziran is kind-hearted, but she can't let others bully her.
"I ask you, why can't you answer, do you like Brother Shizi?"
Xia Mengning blinked, she didn't know why these seven princesses were obsessed with this problem, but after thinking about it, she knew that this seventh princess must be on Yu Ziran's side, plus the Liangzi who formed a relationship between herself and Dong Wanwan, Dong Wanwan was her companion, and when she thought about it, she also demonized herself and told her.
Thinking of this, Xia Mengning raised her head, looked at the eldest grandson Xinyue and said, "I don't know why the princess insists on this issue?" As he spoke, his eyes were looking in the direction of Yu Ziran.
The eldest grandson Xinyue raised her eyebrows, "Everyone in the world knows that Sister Ziran and Brother Shizi are a couple, if you also like Brother Shizi, then I advise you to dispel this idea earlier, if you don't like Brother Shizi, you can say it in front of everyone, so as to clarify the recent rumors about you and Brother Shizi." ”
Xia Mengning smiled softly, but it was at Yu Ziran, "Lord Ziran, do you think the same?" In this matter, don't ask the prince for his opinion, as long as we decide, right? ”
Yu Zi dyed his face lightly, but in fact, his heart turned over the river and the sea, he said that he was a county lord, in fact, his father has died, only one ancestor was the title of the general of the Taizu Emperor, this title sounds good, in fact, his own family has long been defeated, fortunately, he is sensible, and he won the favor of the queen mother early, the prince of Dingxi, is the person who can inherit the throne in the future, if he follows her, the queen mother personally gives marriage, plus his own scheming, he is not afraid that he will not be able to resurrect the Yu clan, At that time, he will be able to bring his mother to live in the capital openly, instead of being forced by his relatives to guard the grave of his father who died young, as he is now.
Thinking of this, Yu Ziran was even more sure in his heart that he couldn't give up the status that he had won so hard, the queen mother pampered herself like this, with her appearance, how could the prince not be moved, even if it was before, it was only because he stayed in the palace all the year round, and it was the idea of the queen mother, the prince would inevitably have a rebellious psychology in his heart, no matter his appearance or talent, he was the best among the people, as long as he had time to have more contact with the prince, he would definitely have a chance.
Yu Ziran thought about all kinds of relationships in a short period of time, and then raised his head, "I don't have the right to ask how Miss Xia chooses." ”
As soon as the eldest grandson Xinyue heard this, and then looked at Yu Ziran's expression, she became a little angry, "How do you speak, I told you that Brother Shizi and Sister Ziran are a couple, why do you still say such things, do you see that Sister Ziran is easy to bully." ”
Xia Mengning saw that the eldest grandson Xinyue looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and smiled slightly in her heart, just a squeamish princess who grew up in the deep palace but was overprotected, she didn't know that she was so calculated by the people around her, and she still wanted to do justice for others, Xia Mengning bent the corners of her mouth, with a provocative attitude.
Everyone was a little surprised, this third lady had no background, but she dared to be so loud with the red man in front of the emperor and the queen mother, looking at her expression, it seemed that she was not afraid and worried at all, at this moment, everyone began to talk to each other again.
Although the autumn sun is not very vicious, being irradiated for a long time makes people a little unbearable, Xia Mengning herself is a little uncomfortable, and at this moment, she has been standing here for so long with her spirit, she can't stand for a while, her body is crooked, and she reaches out to hold Jiu'er's arm tightly.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from far and near, and a voice came, "What are you doing here, all gathered here?" ”
When everyone turned around, they saw Changsun Ye standing in the front, walking from behind with a group of male guests.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, King Mojun."
The eldest grandson waved his hand, "Let's all get up." ”
Everyone stood up, and the eldest grandson had a smile on his face, "Why are you all gathered here, what interesting things are happening?" ”
"Brother Prince, it's nothing, Sister Ziran and I are about to look for you." The eldest grandson Xinyue walked to the front and said to the eldest grandson Ye.
"If it's okay, let's go to the backyard." The eldest grandson smiled and walked forward with his hands behind his back, and everyone followed her.
Jiu'er looked at Xia Mengning worriedly, and found that her face was a little pale, "Miss, are you okay, otherwise let's go back?" ”
Xia Mengning shook her head, feeling a little dizzy, but she strengthened her strength, and said softly: "It's okay, follow them, just go and sit in front for a while." ”
Eldest Sun Yun was originally following the prince, but now seeing Xia Mengning at the end, he was a little worried in his heart, and he couldn't help but slow down.
"What's wrong with you?" Walking to Xia Mengning's side, the eldest grandson Yuncai saw that Xia Mengning's cheeks seemed to be abnormally red, and hurriedly took the place of Jiu'er and reached out to support Xia Mengning's arm.
"Shizi Ye ......" Xia Mengning only felt lightheaded, this wind and cold seemed to come suddenly, I thought it was not so serious, but now I feel that I just want to sleep well.
The eldest grandson Yun has not been able to see Xia Mengning for the past few days, but today he was able to see him, but he was seriously ill, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart: "Is it infected with wind and cold?" ”
As he spoke, he reached out to test her forehead, and the tentacles were hot.
"Do you have a fever?" Eldest Sun Yun shouted in a low voice, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Why are you so careless?" ”
Xia Mengning stood up straight, "Men and women don't kiss, the prince of the world should go to the front quickly, I'll sit for a while......"
Before she finished speaking, Changsun Yun hugged her horizontally, Xia Mengning was a little dizzy from the burn, but she still exclaimed.
Before everyone went far, Yu Ziran himself had been paying attention to Changsun Yun, and when he saw him slow down and walked back, he felt a little sad in his heart, was he so nervous that Xia Mengning showed that their relationship was really not simple, or was it that the prince really liked that concubine?
"Brother Shizi......" The eldest grandson Xinyue saw that the eldest grandson Yun was hugging Xia Mengning, and then looked at Yu Ziran's expression beside him, and said: "Brother Shizi, how can you ...... in front of Sister Ziran"
Eldest Sun Yun's brows furrowed slightly, but he interrupted Eldest Sun Xinyue's words, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Ning'er is infected with the wind cold, I was about to take her to see the doctor, and the front is the place where the banquet is competing, Her Royal Highness the Princess, please take it." ”
As he spoke, he nodded to the eldest grandson, then turned around and walked forward with Xia Mengning in his arms.
Everyone looked at the back of the eldest grandson Yun in surprise, and the eldest grandson Xinyue was also a little shocked, it turned out that the rumors turned out to be true, and the elder brother of the prince really liked the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Only the eldest grandson of the group was not surprised, and coughed twice: "Since the prince has something, then let's take the first step." ”
Everyone collected their minds and followed the eldest grandson to walk forward, only Yu Ziran, although his face was relaxed, the hand under his sleeve was tightly held, what is this, everyone knows that she is the future princess, where did this hateful woman jump from.
Xia Mengning's head rested on the crook of Changsun Yun's arm, and she had not passed out yet, seeing this scene, she gently curled the corners of her mouth, because everyone had already walked away, only Yu Ziran was still looking at Changsun Yun's back, so Xia Mengning's provocative smile was only visible to Yu Ziran.
Seeing that the other party's face turned white in an instant, his eyes opened very wide because of anger, Xia Mengning's smile was even worse, she just wanted you to let Yu Ziran know that her things could not be taken away by others, even if she wanted to dip them, she would not think about it!
