Chapter 35: Preparations for the Feast
For the next day's Eldest Princess's Mansion to enjoy the maple banquet, except for Tong Yao, no one else was idle.
In Yixiang Palace, the county lord of Changping looked at a table of gifts, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find a satisfactory one.
Although the eldest princess does not accept gifts from her juniors, every time the lord of Changping visits, she has to bring something to show respect.
Although she is the county lord and has a noble status, her parents died when she was a child, and compared to other county lords, she is a county lord who only has a name but no background.
Although the Queen Mother is taking care of her now, the Queen Mother is an old man, and she can't let her take care of herself for the rest of her life!
It is inevitable to be more cautious in terms of human feelings.
It took nearly an hour for her to fall in love with a golden hairpin and tell her maid to wrap it up.
The maid Yihong put away all the things on the table and poured her a cup of tea:
"County Lord, it seems that Miss Tong also went to pick up gifts in the afternoon, I wonder what she will buy for the eldest princess?"
The county lord of Changping was dismissive of Tong Yao:
"I heard that her father is just a little waiter? What is the best gift? It's that girl's scheming, so I have to guard against it. ”
"What does the county lord mean?"
"When the Immortal Cultivation Annexation was established, she was the only one who registered, and she must have taken a fancy to His Royal Highness the Prince's interest in the Immortal Cultivation Annex, and Gongzi also registered.
This morning in the academy, she deliberately let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see her, and designed to get the clothes of Prince Xi, although she still took it away for Gongzi Lian, but didn't she also take Gongzi's jade pendant?
Moreover, wouldn't it be kind to be able to go to the banquet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and do it from beginning to end? ”
"That's what the county lord said." Yi Cui wrapped the gift and walked over: "How about the county lord look at this trick?" ”
The county lord of Changping glanced at it, and there was a proud bamboo embroidered on the plain silk cloth, and nodded, indicating that it was not bad.
After receiving the affirmation of the county lord, Yi Cui returned to the topic just now:
"That Miss Tong, I heard that it has only been a few days since I came to the emperor, and I have been thinking about this and that, the county lord, you have to be careful!
The third prince of Murong is the treasure of the second son, maybe someone wants to borrow the third prince and make a familiar face in front of the second son! ”
Everyone in the imperial capital knows that the county lord of Changping has been in love with Murong Xi since he was a child, although Murong Xi is not enthusiastic about her, but every time he meets, he can nod and say hello to her, which has made the county lord of Changping feel that he is very different.
She has always regarded Murong Xi as her future husband, who knew that a Tong Yao who didn't know the height of the sky would suddenly come out of it?!
"No wonder Master Tong doesn't like this concubine, the slave maid looks at the second and third ladies of the Tong family, so she doesn't make any effort to make a difference."
Yi Hong said.
"Isn't that right? After all, it's not a mother's birth. Yi Cui said:
"If you have the same temperament as Miss Tong Er and Miss Tong San, can you still be kicked out of Tong's house? It's definitely not the family's favor. ”
"If I were her! I didn't have the face to come back. Yi Hong looked disgusted: "I've never seen such thick skin." ”
"If she didn't have thick skin, she wouldn't have done these things." Yi Cui said again:
"This thick-skinned man, he can do anything, county lord, let's keep an eye on that dead girl in the future."
The county lord of Changping let out a sneer when he heard the words of the two girls look at me.
A little maid's daughter, who also dares to rob people with herself?
Don't look at your identity, dare to rob the lord of this county, you feel good!
