Wei Man also looked in the direction that Leng Xi was pointing.

In front of the Star Picking Building.

Surrounded by a group of well-dressed servants, a delicate young lady of sixteen or seventeen years of age with a graceful figure was whispering something to a noble lady of forty-one or twelve years old with a graceful face.

I saw that after listening to the young lady's words, the noble lady first shook her head helplessly, and then, she stretched out her hand and nodded the young lady's forehead lovingly and affectionately...... The atmosphere between the two is much warmer than that of the Duchess of Fuguo and Shen Manzhu's mother and daughter just now.

"That's Shen Weiyun," Leng Xi pointed to the young lady who happened to be smiling at Yanyan, her brows furrowed slightly, she didn't know what she thought of, she couldn't help but sneer, and said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "Sister Wei, let me tell you, don't look at her now as kind and kind, in fact, she is much more difficult to mess with than the cold-faced Shen Manzhu just now...... Shen Manzhu is fortunate that she is happy and unhappy, but she is not like Shen Weiyun, who always looks affectionate with a smile on her face, but her stomach is full of bad water......"

"Really?" Wei Man couldn't help but look at Shen Weiyun carefully several times, while thinking in his heart, he didn't know what unpleasant things happened to Leng Xi and the two sisters of the Shen family when he was young, and said gratefully: "Thank you Sister Leng for reminding me, I will pay attention to it in the future......"

"Miss, that's all when you were a child," Bai Bi, who was standing on the side, first glanced at Wei Man with a flickering gaze, and then said to Leng Xi gently: "You have not been in the capital for many years, Miss Shen San has changed a lot, and now, the ladies and ladies in the capital praise her for being good......

"Humph!" Leng Xi snorted contemptuously and retorted: "What happened when I was a child, my grandmother told me that what a person did when he was a child is the one that best reflects his true character...... When Shen Weiyun was a child, he knew that he was obedient and clever in the open, and he was bad in secret...... Let me tell you, it's not that she's not getting better at all, but she's hiding her bad thoughts even deeper......"

Wei Man bowed slightly, agreeing with Leng Xi's words, a person's inner character really won't change dramatically because of age.

Bai Bi was speechless to refute Leng Xi's words, and smiled helplessly.

"This, it's a little strange," Leng Xi looked at the backs of Second Lady Shen and Shen Weiyun who walked into the gate of the Star Picking Tower, and asked Wei Man with some doubts: "Why did Shen Weiyun and Shen Manzhu go to the Star Picking Tower separately?" Aren't they supposed to go together? ”

Wei Man didn't know the reason for this, so he had to shake his head.

Leng Xi looked at Bai Bi.

Bai Bi glanced at Wei Man with a strange face before replying, "...... Half a year ago, the emperor gave the second master of the Shen family a general's mansion, and at the end of the year, the second room of the Fuguo Mansion moved to the general's mansion in a low-key manner...... Now, when it comes to the Empress Dowager's maiden home in the capital, it will be divided into two places: the Fuguo Mansion and the Fuguo General's Mansion......"

Two emperors' homes? Wei Man secretly wondered, was this the emperor's intention? So, is this good for the Shen family? Or is it not good?

"Hah! There is such a thing......" Leng Xi's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, she patted Wei Man's hand, motioning Wei Man to come closer, and then, she whispered with a somewhat mysterious face: "...... The Duke of Fuguo and the General of the Fuguo are both the siblings and brothers of the Queen Mother, and the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, and the two nieces of Shen Manzhu and Shen Weiyun are inseparable from each other in front of the Queen Mother...... Sister Wei, tell me, Shen Manzhu and Shen Weiyun, who has a better chance of becoming the queen? ”

This one......

Wei Man was surprised, and he didn't know why Leng Xi's topic suddenly turned to the queen's position.

However, Leng Xi's expression was seven points serious, three points scrutiny, and there was no joke at all.

Wei Man's face couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"Sister Leng, this," Wei Man shook his head and said, "I really can't judge ......"

There are too many things involved in the posterior, don't say that she is just a weak woman in the boudoir now, even if she crosses into a man, she can't assert anything in the face of rapidly changing politics......

"Oh, I think Shen Weiyun's success will be greater...... Leng Xi continued to bite his ears with Wei Man, and said: "Neither the Duke of Fuguo nor the prince Shen Chengzhi are people with any ability, and there are only empty titles in the Duke of Fuguo's mansion at present...... The Auxiliary General's Mansion is different, Shen Erye is already a famous general, not to mention, Shen Weiyun's brother Shen Zhiting is also a very talented, my father once told me that Shen Zhiting is a rare general......"

Forehead?

Wei Man blinked, thinking in his heart, why did General Leng talk to his daughter Leng Xi about Shen Zhiting's talent?

However, according to Leng Xi's analysis, Shen Weiyun's father and brother are indeed more powerful than Shen Manzhu's father and brother, but this is a feudal dynasty where imperial power is supreme, Wei Man feels that for the emperor who is no longer a prince, perhaps, Shen Weiyun and Shen Manzhu, who has the most power behind them, who will be farther away from the queen's position, right?

"There are many involved in the posterior, its own virtue, the strength of the mother's family, and even the favor of the queen mother...... Actually, I don't think these are the most important things," Wei Man looked at Leng Xi and said with a serious expression: "The key is to see who the emperor wants the queen to be......"

Wei Man did not say who the emperor "liked" more, but used the word "hope", because he believed in his heart that although Leng Xi was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old lady in the boudoir, he was born in the sincere Bofu that has been favored for several dynasties, and his political acumen was almost innate, not to mention, although Leng Xi looked a little more arrogant on the surface, but he was definitely not a fool, and he would definitely know her unfinished words.

Sure enough, Leng Xi listened to Wei Man's words, and his eyes deepened a lot.

Moment.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their relationship with each other was much closer because of the conversation just now.

Bai Bi and Xia Lan on the side frowned at each other, but they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Leng Xi and Wei Man said a few more gossips about the Shen family.

Wei Man suddenly thought of the eldest lady Shen, who had personally asked to marry and kept filial piety for her for half a year when the emperor was still a prince.

"Sister Leng, the eldest Miss Shen that the emperor asked to marry back then," Wei Man asked curiously, "Which room of the Shen family is she from?" ”

"You mean Sister Lirong, she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo," Speaking of this, Leng Xi seemed to fall into memory, and said with a sigh: "Sister Lirong is indeed a very good person, but her body is too weak......"

Miss Shen's name is Shen Lirong.

"Miss Shen's body has always been bad?" Wei Man asked.

"Yes," Leng Xi sighed: "It's because of her weak body, she rarely goes out, and I've only seen her a few times, but I can still remember that Sister Lirong was very gentle and beautiful when she smiled......"

Judging from how much Leng Xi hates Shen Weiyun and Shen Manzhu, she can have such a high opinion of their sister Shen Lirong, it can be seen that Miss Shen is indeed a woman of noble birth and gentle temperament.

If Shen Lirong did not die early without Fanghua......

Wei Man sighed in his heart.

Then, Shen Lirong should already be the queen mother of the dynasty.

"What a shame!" Wei Man couldn't help but sigh.

"Who says it's not," Leng Xi also sighed: "When I was far away in the south, I heard a lot of the emperor's infatuation with Sister Lirong...... Hey, if Sister Lirong is still here, where will there be Shen Weiyun and Shen Manzhu......"

Wei Man smiled, listening to Leng Xi's new round of complaints about the two sisters of the Shen family, but thinking in his heart, why can the position of queen only be produced between Shen Weiyun and Shen Manzhu? No one can be sure that the latter must come from the Shen family!

……

A group of carefully selected palace maids in the palace, wearing flower crowns and xia curtains, sang and danced all the way from the main gate of the palace, and finally came to the towering light tower.

The crowd was buzzing.

I saw that the graceful palace maid who was dressed as a nine-day fairy, with the help of her companions, flipped and jumped several times in a row, and under the cheers and cheers one after another, she floated to the top of the lantern tower like catkins, and then, her body leaned back flexibly, and her arm waved gracefully, no one saw what she did, and saw that the huge imperial pen dragon pattern lantern lit up in an instant.

The crowd immediately erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

As if it was the opening of the light, from the light tower to Suzaku Street, and then from the east and west streets to the entire Shangjing City, the lights suddenly became bright.

……

"Ah, what is this...... Ah, this one is so pretty......"

Leng Xi took Wei Man's hand and shuttled through the crowd flexibly.

"Sister Wei, look at it," Leng Xi pointed to a dancer on stilts, and exclaimed, "This pair of stilts is a foot taller than the tallest one I saw on Nanjing Street......

Wei Man only had time to glance at the stilts, and before she could make an evaluation, Leng Xi had already pulled her to another place.

"Oh, Sister Wei, look at it, the beaded flowers on her head are so beautiful, what is that made of, how come I've never seen it...... Ah, the leaves on that lamp tree are shining...... Look, that light wheel is spinning so fast......"

And so on and so forth.

In a few moments, Weiman was out of breath.

"Leng, Sister Leng," Wei Man used brute force to pull Leng Xi who was walking quickly under a lamp tree, and said breathlessly: "I, we, take a break, let's ......"

"Ah......" Leng Xi's face was full of surprise, only then did he notice the strange appearance of Wei Man's face, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

"No, it's okay," Wei Man waved his hand, gasped for a few breaths, and saw that Xia Lan and Bai Bi still hadn't followed, and couldn't help but look around.

Suddenly, Weiman felt that someone in the crowd was staring at her.

That's right, it's staring, like a man's back.

Weiman looked through with feeling.
