Chapter 33: A Chance Encounter with a Nobleman
Chapter 33: Encountering a Nobleman
The place where the palace banquet was held was located in the inner garden of the palace, and the original body only participated once when he was five years old in his memory, when General Bai was only a four-rank general, but it was at that banquet that Bai Wanchu formed a deep friendship with the second prince Sima Ze, and it was also at that banquet that her sister Bai Wanyu met the fifth prince Sima Xi.
When the original body was eight years old, his father became a three-rank general valued by the emperor, and she got a few opportunities to enter the inner garden and had a few happy childhood times with Sima Ze.
At the banquet, I didn't visit the palace compound much because of identity problems, and then every time I came, I was pulled to his palace by Sima Ze, and I really didn't know much about it. As for Xu Mengmeng, the places where he went to court on weekdays were in the outer courtyard of the palace, so it was even more impossible to see it.
In fact, after saying so much, she just wanted to make one point: this palace is too big, and she is a little confused, and she doesn't know how to go to the palace banquet.
"General Ning" Just as she turned to a rockery trail, I don't know where to go next, a woman with a charming face and a bewitching figure and luxuriously dressed came in front of her, and there were many palace maids and eunuchs around her.
"See Niangniang!" Xu Mengmeng guessed that she should be one of the women in Sima Ji's harem, although she didn't know which one it was, she immediately knelt down and saluted.
"General Ning Xiao doesn't need to be polite, although this palace lives in this deep palace compound, he has also heard of the heroic deeds of the general, and he also has a little appreciation for a young talent like the little general! The little seven of the palace have been stubborn since childhood, which is a headache for the emperor and the palace, but since hearing about the general's deeds, he is full of admiration, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he hopes that the general can guide him one or two! ”
It turns out that the person in front of you is actually Concubine Li? She really deserves to be the most favored woman in the harem now! Look at how high the words are, it sounds like admiring herself, but in fact, it's just a disguised expression of her intentions.
"The concubine is praised! Weichen is a martial artist, although he is a little clever on weekdays, but it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance. In addition, the Seven Princes are the dragons and phoenixes among the people, not only outstanding in appearance, but also outstanding at a young age, which is quite appreciated by all colleagues, how can it be said that it is stubborn? Don't make fun of the micro-ministers! ”
Although Xu Mengmeng's face was respectful, the meaning of shirk in his words could not be more obvious: The Seventh Prince of your family is really very good, my ability is limited, I really can't help him!
"There is a banquet in the palace today, and there are not many people, General Ning must be lost, right? Why don't you let the maid give the general a ride? ”
Zhu Li also knew that this kid was slippery, and she didn't think that she could pull people into her camp with two or three polite words, so she skipped the topic just now, and smiled lightly to relieve her.
Ouch ~ Oh my God! is worthy of being the emperor's favorite concubine, this bewitching face, gentle and warm smile, dark flowing eyes, coupled with the elegant and luxurious charm of this body, if it weren't for her Xu Mengmeng being a woman, maybe her soul was almost hooked by her, then Zhu Ping doesn't look good, how can there be such a beautiful girl?
Tsk~ This woman is poisonous!
"In this way, Weichen thanked Niangniang!" Xu Mengmeng bent down and bowed, and strode away with Jinchen under the leadership of the maid.
"Niangniang, this kid is a little ignorant, do you want to send someone to teach him some lessons?" After watching Xu Mengmeng walk away, an elderly woman in brown clothes asked softly.
"Mama Qin, don't worry, this palace has lived for so many years, and I have never seen a person who has no desires and no desires, General Ning Xiao is young, holds heavy troops, and is quite appreciated by His Majesty, his heart is inevitably higher, and when he steps on some nails in the future, he will naturally mature!" Julie lowered her head to hide the dark light under her eyes, and nonchalantly fiddled with the freshly dyed danjin on her fingers.
"That's what the mother said!" Mama Qin did not have a look of surprise on her face, after all, she had been in the palace with her master for many years, and she had long been accustomed to all kinds of means, and her master was no longer a simple young lady, and her mind was naturally not shallow.
"Mama, I heard that General Ning is nearly seventeen years old, but he has not yet married a wife, do you think he can be worthy of Rong'er's girl?"
"Niangniang, the slave maid heard that although General Ning is both wise and brave, he is extremely ugly, and Miss Bao should look down on him!"
"But since ancient times, what woman can live as she pleases? While she enjoyed the glory brought to her by the Zhu family, some sacrifices were inevitable, I didn't come here like this, if I could choose at the beginning, why should I ......"
"Niangniang, be cautious, the slave knows that Niangniang is unwilling, but since you have chosen this path, you are not for yourself, please think more about it for the Seventh Prince!" Mama Qin was shocked, looked around, and saw that it was her own that she was relieved.
"That's it, I lost him in this life, and I can only repay him in the next life!" The pain in Julie's eyes flashed away, and her originally charming and noble face was stained with a little tiredness and sorrow.
"Forget it, Your Majesty's mind is getting deeper and deeper now, and I sometimes have a hard time seeing through it, my brother and General Ning both have heavy troops, if Rong'er is pointed out to him, it is difficult to ensure that the emperor will not be suspicious of the Zhu family, and I am afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of the Bai family. By the way, are you ready for what you told you before? ”
Then the exhaustion and sorrow disappeared in a flash, as fast as if she had never appeared, and she Julie was still the gorgeous and bewitching favorite concubine.
"Don't worry, everything is ready!"
"Well, it's not too early! It's time for us to get over too! With that, she turned and walked away.
Xu Mengmeng has only seen ancient palace banquets in some film and television works in the past, even the last celebration banquet was only held in a small courtyard in the imperial city, so it is the first time to participate in the grand palace banquet held in the inner courtyard of the palace, and it is still a little novel, but he has always been cold and arrogant in the eyes of others, and at this time, he is not like a little girl who has never seen the world, so he can only sit honestly in his position with everyone.
Occasionally glance around casually, not to mention, don't look at most of the ministers who go to court with you on weekdays are not good-looking, there are many handsome men and beautiful women among their children, especially the acquaintance Zhao Qianrou's temperament is even better, attracting a lot of young sons to look sideways, of course, there are also those who look hard at a glance, such as Wang Shangshu's bully son Wang Zhiwei, but this guy is really lustful, and those little eyes are almost sticking to Zhao Qianrou.
Under their influence, Xu Mengmeng also looked at her a few more times, different from the original memory, although her every move now is more dignified and elegant, but Xu Mengmeng always feels that this person lacks a little bit of the aura in his memory, and the whole person is like a puppet.
