Chapter 197 is inevitable
A few days later, the crown princess had already cleaned up the courtyard of the newlyweds and welcomed the newlyweds in, because there were not many people, there was no need to crowd them, so it was similar to the time of the Renwang Mansion, one courtyard per person.
Wang Xinyu's sister-in-law, Wang Xinrui, lives in the Yiqiu Hall not far from the Yichun Hall where she lives, and the two sisters live next to each other in a small courtyard.
One is the second daughter of the Imperial Historian of the Left Governor of the Supervision Yuan, Luo Yiwen.
One is the granddaughter of the old general Zhong stationed in Beidi, Zhong Jingyu.
Except for Wang Xinrui, who is a concubine, both of them are noble and the pearls of the family.
In the prince's apse, there are also Wang Xinrui and Lan Fang, whose status is slightly lower in comparison.
Wang Xinrui won't talk about it, how can there be a princess's sister behind her, and her confidence is naturally more sufficient.
As for Lan Fang, the Tian family now has gone to the northwest except for Tian Zhen who commanded the Praetorian Guard in Beijing, General Tian and Yun Lei.
Moreover, Lan Fang is a righteous daughter after all, not biological, and her identity is naturally incomparable compared to these women with high backgrounds.
However, Lan Fang is not afraid, even if these women are noble, the favor of the prince of the East Palace is not something that can be obtained just by identity!
Lan Fang was preparing clothes in the house, and tonight there was a reception banquet prepared by the crown princess for the new sisters, saying that it was to catch the wind, but it was just to let the prince pass by, and I didn't know who was who when I saw him in the future.
And the newcomer has just come in, and who to sleep tonight is a big deal.
Ling'er excitedly chose between the wardrobes, picked out a red, rather gorgeous skirt and put it in front of Lan Fang, and said, "Madam, what do you think of this?" Those women must be more attentive to dressing up than one by one tonight, you can't be compared to a few little girls! ”
Lan Fang frowned when she looked at the clothes in her hand when she heard this, and said: "Ling'er, this color is too gorgeous, I basically don't wear it on weekdays, if I wear it tonight, others will know that I am going to compete for favor, change one, I don't wear this!" ”
What's more, she is now the mother of two children, how can she wear such an exaggerated color? Although I don't care that I am twenty years old, I always feel that such a gorgeous color is only suitable for those lively little girls, who are not old, and their hearts are old!
Ling'er put the clothes back unhappily, looked at it again and again, and felt that it was still the red one that looked good, and after choosing for a while, she really didn't know what Lan Fang wanted to wear, so she took a step back and said, "Madam, you better choose yourself!" The slave really doesn't know what you want to wear to the feast. ”
Lian Xiang was combing Lan Fang's hair, looking at the open wardrobe, her chin was raised, she gestured to the pale gold gauze skirt, and said, "Just that pale gold one, the red one is too gorgeous, not suitable for our lady's gentle temperament, the golden one is warm, calm, and noble." And tonight, after all, it is a reception banquet to welcome the new side concubine, and it is not good for the lady to be too showy, so let's keep a low profile! ”
Hearing this, Ling'er took out the dress and said, "This color is too plain, not to mention that our lady's status in the heart of the prince is not the same, even if it is in the limelight, who can do it?" ”
Lian Xiang sighed when she heard this and said: "That's what you said, but you have to be cautious, besides, you also said that our lady has a different status in the prince's heart, even if this is the case, no matter what our lady wears, it will definitely make the prince unable to take his eyes off!" ”
Lan Fang couldn't help but smile as she listened to the two of them arguing, and said, "Okay, don't say this kind of thing in the future, no matter what status I have in the eyes of the crown prince, you are not allowed to say it, so as not to make enemies." Just this golden one, if you really feel too plain, just cover the gauze embroidered with gold thread chrysanthemums! ”
"Yes, why didn't the slave think of it, that gold-threaded gauze is under the lamp, but it is shining, and it must be dazzling when worn on the lady's body, hum, it will definitely not be compared!"
Lian Xiang looked at Ling'er and shook her head helplessly, these women are a little higher than their wife, and they should rein in their edge at this time, but this Ling'er is a showman, and I don't know when she will be able to sharpen her temperament! Mrs. is generous, and she usually doesn't say anything serious, but when she looks at Ling'er, she is always unstable.
At the end of summer, the banquet was placed on the edge of the lotus pond in the East Palace, and it was very cool with the breeze blowing.
As soon as Lan Fang walked out of the Green Water Building, she saw that not far away, Wang Xinyu took her sister to the lotus pond.
The two women behind him must be the new two.
She smiled faintly and slowed down.
When she took her seat, Lan Fang greeted Wang Xinyu Fufu, who was sitting on the top seat, and looked at her impatiently waving her hand, without even saying a word, and sat in her seat.
Now between the two of them, they belong to the kind of situation where they are helpless against each other.
Every time they meet, they don't even want to do superficial work, Wang Xinyu is impatient to take care of her, and she can't bear to take care of Wang Xinyu.
Each other is out of sight and out of mind, and I wish we wouldn't see each other for the rest of my life.
After sitting down, Lan Fang looked at Wang Xinrui who was sitting under Wang Xinyu, and sure enough, as rumored, she looked like a beautiful woman with a weak willow and a wind.
Dressed in pink clothes, the sideburns are swaying, and the cherry mouth on one face is really beautiful. Those eyes, with a weak light, were still a little shy and timid when they looked over, as if they didn't dare to see people.
Lan Fang frowned unconsciously, this Wang Xinrui, such a pitiful appearance, really people can't like it from the bottom of their hearts!
Looking at Luo Yiwen, the imperial historian of Zuodu, he was born with a good appearance, deep facial features, a pair of big eyes and bright eyes, a tall nose, red lips painted with light red, and even more white and beautiful, wearing a light cyan gauze skirt, sitting there, the smile was known at a glance, like a lively character.
On the contrary, it was Zhong Jingyu of General Zhong's family, sitting in the banquet, with a trace of heroic eyebrows and eyes, there was no trace of smile, with a cold face, looking at the lotus flowers in the lotus pond from afar, occasionally twisting the peanuts on the plate, and throwing it away, to hit the lotus pods in the lotus pond...... It seems, it's boring.
These women with beautiful faces and moon appearances, one by one...... It's not easy to look at!
Thinking that in the future, there will be more women in this apse, she couldn't help frowning, really, it's upsetting to think about it......
In a trance, I heard the chamberlain shouting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”
The women at the banquet stood up one after another and saluted.
"Get up!" Li Ye strode over, dressed in dark green clothes embroidered with dragon patterns, adding a cold color to his handsome and unsmiling face in this dim night. His eyes, at the moment he sat down, looked at Lan Fang, his eyes smiled faintly, and the corners of their lips couldn't help but hook at the same time.
Wang Xinyu, who was sitting not far from Li Ye, looked at the two of them with flirtatious eyes, clenched the wine glass in his hand angrily, and gritted his teeth.
Zhong Jingyu naturally found out, just looked at Li Ye and then at Lan Fang, then withdrew his gaze, as if he was not very interested, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it with his head held high.
Luo Yiwen, who was not far away, couldn't help frowning when he looked at Zhong Jingyu's heavy drinking, such a rude and rude woman actually wanted to live with her for decades, it was really, it made people unappetizing to look at, and the woman who was in the door was really rude!
It is impossible for no one to speak during the banquet all the time, Wang Xinyu, as the crown princess, naturally wants to support the scene: "Prince, today's banquet is for the three younger sisters, so that you can get acquainted with a few younger sisters, so that you will not be unrecognizable when you see each other in the future." ”
As she spoke, she looked at her sister-in-law Wang Xinrui and said, "Xinrui, you came to see the prince first." ”
As the younger sister of the crown princess, at this time, you can see that there is a backer advantage!
The delicate and weak Wang Xinrui slowly got up with the support of the maid, came to the middle of the banquet, and said to Li Ye Shi Ran's blessed body, the voice of the mouth was clear and soft, sweet but not greasy, and the smile was just right, and said: "Concubine Wang Xinrui, I have seen the prince." ”
"Get up!" Li Ye opened his mouth lightly, leaning on the couch, with a free and easy look, quite a bit of bohemianism.
Lan Fang looked at him like that, her eyes lit up, and she lowered her head and smiled.
Wang Xinrui also seemed to feel Li Ye's coldness. He stood up straight with some stiffness, raised his eyes and smiled reluctantly: "The concubine has prepared a dance for the prince, and I hope the prince will watch it." ”
Li Ye waved his hand and said, "Then let's start!" ”
As he spoke, his eyes drifted unnaturally in Lan Fang's direction.
Under the dim light, she was wearing a golden gauze dress, and her delicate face was covered with light makeup, which looked very refreshing and atmospheric.
The golden tassel on her sideburns swayed slightly with her movements, Li Ye wanted to, reached out and took off the tassel, followed her eyebrows, and finally landed on her lips......
She's been on the full moon for a long time...... It's been a long time, and I haven't ...... with her
Li Ye squinted his eyes and stared at Lan Fang tightly, until she felt that this look was too hot and a little uncomfortable, and when she looked over, he raised his eyebrows and smiled and gave her a look.
She bit her lip slightly and glared at him lightly, in exchange for a rather profligate smile.
Wang Xinyu and the woman in the banquet naturally knew where the prince's eyes fell, Wang Xinrui, who came up after changing into a dance dress, looked at her sister's not very good face, and the prince's fluttering eyes, and walked in the middle with some embarrassment, and remembered with the music, dancing under the moonlight.
A very beautiful dance, a very beautiful posture, that dance posture seems to take advantage of the cool moonlight, riding the wind away, even Li Ye is fascinated.
At the end of the dance, Wang Xinrui was slightly drenched in light sweat, looking at the trance in Li Ye's eyes, a little joy appeared in his heart, he finally saw himself!
The afterglow from the corner of his eye gently swept over Lan Fang's face, a smug look that was bound to win, hidden in the flowing eyes.
