Chapter 274
"Mother~~" Although Shangguan Lihua was a little annoyed, she still looked at Shangguan Ao and Wen Qingrong with firm eyes, and then said: "Li'er and the third prince, Xu is fate, and this life is destined to be entangled. Li'er and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have always adhered to their duties, how could they do something out of bounds? Besides, the third prince is a decent person, and he will not do anything against his daughter's wishes. It took a lot of effort for Shangguan Lihua to say these words to Shangguan Ao and Wen Qingrong.
Shangguan Ao nodded, and then said: "Since Li'er has made up her mind, my father told Li'er before, what do you want to do, you don't have to worry about me and you being young, the Dingguo Mansion is naturally standing behind Li'er and being your strongest backing!" ”
"Father!" Shangguan Lihua's heart seemed to have a trickle of warmth flowing straight into her heart, and she wanted to say something, but Shangguan Lihua heard Shangguan Ao say: "Li'er doesn't need to say anything, as a father, he naturally understands what you want to say." Then Shangguan Ao moved his gaze to Wen Qingrong, and then said, "Madam, tonight's palace banquet is extraordinary, so naturally you can't be sloppy." And Mrs. Hard will take Li'er down to tidy up, and then wait for your husband to enter the palace together. ”
Wen Qingrong nodded, and took Shangguan Lihua back to Huanli Garden.
At the palace banquet in the evening, Shangguan Lihua and Li Shangqing had not yet arrived, and there were already many princes, young ladies of the family, and sons of official families gathered in Huayuan. These women spontaneously formed a small circle in groups of three or five to talk with their little sisters, and the princes and grandchildren also circled around the prince and made jokes and amusements. That's right, although Prince Xuanyuan Yuling said that he was extremely unhappy in his heart, but then he thought that he had come to Huayuan earlier, and by the way, he could 'contact' some sons of the family, and he could also sell a good man in front of his father. Therefore, Xuanyuan Yuling arrived at Huayuan early, and acted as if the celebration banquet of Huayuan was prepared for him tonight, talking and laughing freely.
The atmosphere on the men's side is quite harmonious, but the women's side is 'extraordinary'.
"Sister Siyan, do you say that Shangguan Lihua is just like those foxes in Goolan Courtyard, Jingba is pulling our peerless Royal Highness the Third Prince?!" The person who spoke, dressed in a goose-yellow skirt, played better with Hong Siyan on weekdays, and has always been dependent on Hong Siyan. Because his father's official position happened to be under Hong Siyan's father, Hong Taifu. She has always followed Hong Siyan, and she naturally knows Hong Siyan's thoughts. At this time, from the moment she came into Huayuan, she saw that Hong Siyan's whole mood was not high, so she thought of saying something that Hong Siyan wanted to hear to arouse Hong Siyan's mood.
Sure enough, Hong Siyan, who was still in a little mood, really enriched the expression on her face after hearing the woman in the goose yellow skirt say this. "What did you say?" Seeing that Hong Siyan's emotions finally came back to her senses, the woman thought that her words had worked, so she said more and more 'bad words' about Shangguan Lihua.
Tonight's Hong Siyan can be said to have been carefully dressed up. The light pink dress wraps his already delicate figure, and he is draped in a crescent-white gauze coat, which perfectly shows Hong Siyan's swan-like neck and clearly visible collarbone. At this time, Hong Siyan leaned lightly against the stone bench, and the pleats of the gorgeous dress on her body flowed and fell to the ground like the snow and moonlight. Although it is not difficult to see that the delicate woman in goose yellow has drawn her mind in her makeup, she still became Hong Siyan's foil at this time. I saw that the skirt of Hong Siyan's gorgeous dress was more than three feet long, which made Hong Siyan's gait more graceful and soft when she got up and walked. The good-looking makeup, coupled with the exquisite dress, really made Hong Siyan like a beauty painting, which made many men present yearn for it, and the women secretly admired.
"Sister Siyan, I'm afraid you don't know yet, today, His Royal Highness the three princes came back from Yunzhou, and when they entered the city, I also went to the city gate to see, guess who I saw in the entourage of the three princes?" The woman in the goose-yellow dress said as she highlighted her somewhat angry expression.
Of course, Hong Siyan knew who came back from Yunzhou with the three princes, and the reason why she was still angry was because of this? However, Hong Siyan naturally wouldn't say it, so she pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Sister, who did you see in your entourage when the three princes returned to the city?" ”
Hong Siyan's tone was deliberately louder at this time, not too unusual, but enough for some of the women around to hear it clearly. Originally, Hong Siyan and the woman's small talk, it stands to reason that others will not eavesdrop, but it just so happens that many young ladies of the family today are taking great pains to dress themselves up for the sake of a few princes, just so that a few princes can notice themselves. At this time, when I heard Hong Siyan's words mention the three princes, where did I still have the heart to chat with myself, I naturally pricked up my ears to listen, and some young ladies of the family even walked directly to Hong Siyan and them, and then participated in their topic together.
Seeing this, Hong Siyan was slightly satisfied in her heart, this is the effect she wanted to achieve. Just now, she deliberately raised her voice, just so that these ladies of the family could listen to Shangguan Lihua's 'things', and all the words were not said from her mouth, if they were heard by someone with a heart, they naturally had nothing to do with themselves.
"Sister Siyan, what are you talking about? Share it with your sisters, too? The woman who said this was the daughter of Cheng Fuyi, the head of the Hanlin Academy. Everyone saw that her makeup was exquisite, three thousand green silk was tied up with a simple hairband, this mandarin duck butterfly hairpin was inserted in the Feixian bun, and a wisp of green silk was deliberately left in her ears and naturally hung down on her chest, adding a lot of color to her.
"It turned out to be Sister Kexin?" Hong Siyan pretended to be surprised and responded to Cheng Kexin, and then with an expression of 'I don't know', she looked at the woman in goose yellow clothes with ignorance.
And the woman in goose yellow clothes has always been because her father's official position is not high, and she has never shown her face so much in front of so many women from the family, and she is a little carried away in her heart, so she straightened her clothes, and then cleared her throat and said loudly to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know, today the three princes returned to Beijing from Yunzhou, and many young ladies must have gone to the city gate to greet the three princes." These three princes have been working hard all the way, but they still need to be carefully escorted by a fox Meizi along the way, which is really not worth it for the three princes. Especially His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I also saw His Royal Highness the Third Prince personally help the fox Meizi out of the carriage. ”
