Chapter 64: Goodbye Grandmother (3)
Being interrupted like this, Shangguan Lihua cleaned up his mood, and said to Mrs. Wen: "Grandmother, it's strange that Lihua hasn't visited her grandmother for so long?" "To be honest, how long has it been since I saw Mrs. Wen, Shangguan Lihua can't remember it clearly, but I only know that it was a long, long time, so long that she almost forgot that she was reborn and returned to the time when her grandmother had not passed away. Old Mrs. Wen had long lost her excitement at this time, and turned to annoyance: "Oh..... Does Yuan Lier still know that her grandmother will be angry? Grandmother still thinks that you haven't come to Wu'an Bohou's Mansion for so long, because you have forgotten that there is still your grandmother and grandmother in Wu'an Bohou's Mansion? ”
Shangguan Lihua hurriedly shook his head and said, "How could Lihua forget her grandfather and grandmother?" Lihua contracted a cold some time ago, and only recovered recently, I thought that after today's banquet, I would go to Wu'an Bohou Mansion to visit my grandfather and grandmother, who would have thought that today I would see my grandmother in this Anwang Mansion first? "Shangguan Lihua has a coquettish face, it's really cute.
"Okay, okay, your mother also told me what was going on, you said that you were so good to play with the snow, and you were infected with the wind and cold plainly, and in the end, it was not your own who suffered? And what kind of cousin of yours, what did she propose to play with Rausch Zixue in single clothes on a snowy day, and what did she say to paint for you? Are you in good shape now? "Mrs. Wen's words are not serious, and she almost said directly that Shangguan Qihua had ulterior motives, and instigated Shangguan Lihua to go out to play in the snow in a single clothes on a snowy day, even if there is a reason, he should not do this. Although it is indeed a rare beauty for a beauty to play in the snow, it is not just about the demeanor and not the temperature, right? If it's really that good, why wouldn't Shangguan Qihua go out to play by herself and let Shangguan Lihua help her get into a painting?
Shangguan Qihua's face changed, where would she have thought that this matter would be said by Mrs. Wen on such an occasion, she didn't know what to do for a while, and she was so anxious that she could only secretly turn her eyes to Hong Siyan for help. Anyway, she can be regarded as her ally now, and if she is in trouble, she should also help in the face of being her ally.
Hong Siyan wanted to pretend not to see Shangguan Qihua's eyes for help, she didn't want to open her mouth to help Shangguan Qihua at this time, after all, opening her mouth at this time was undoubtedly likely to offend Princess An and Mrs. Wen. However, when he thought of the calculation of Shangguan Lihua, it was indispensable for Shangguan Qihua to participate in order to finally clear his suspicion, Hong Siyan thought about it in his heart, and then said:
"The courtiers have long heard my father say that there is a peony garden in this Anwang Mansion, and the peony in it is not even as good as the peony in the palace, I wonder if the courtiers and others are lucky enough to witness it?" After thinking about it, Hong Siyan opened her mouth and asked Princess An.
Princess An has the same idea as everyone else, but in the end, the host of this banquet is the hostess of King An's Mansion, and the scene is too embarrassing to say, so she can only follow Hong Siyan's words and say: "Your news is well-informed, let alone the palace, it is estimated that the entire Jinling City will not find a place with more complete varieties of peonies and better flowers than the peony garden in King An's Mansion." At first, the prince also said that the peonies in the imperial garden bloom well every year, and every time he talks about it in front of His Majesty. Later, I thought that His Majesty was also annoyed by the prince's thoughts, and he was stunned to tell Ming'er and Yi'er to collect different varieties of peonies from all over the country and plant them in Anwang's Mansion, so the prince gave up and did not dare to mention the peony garden in front of His Majesty. As she spoke, Princess An remembered that the current emperor was annoyed by Prince An and wanted to be angry, but she laughed first.
"That's it, it's really embarrassing for you to let you little girls make us old women more important all day long. In this case, I will command someone to take you to the Peony Pavilion, where the peonies bloom the best, and are most suitable for you girls of the same age. After Princess An finished speaking, she greeted people and brought all the ladies of the family to the Peony Pavilion, and she and Mrs. Wen and the ladies still stayed in the water pavilion to talk about homely things.
"Miss Shangguan, since you and I are the same age, and we have met twice, I wonder if we can go to the Peony Pavilion together?" Hong Siyan said. Shangguan Lihua originally wanted to catch up with his cousin Wen Yaqin, but he didn't want to go to the Peony Pavilion to enjoy the national peony. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't love it. Compared with peonies, Shangguan Lihua has always liked plum and love lotus. But since Hong Siyan had already spoken, she was afraid that she would not be able to refuse, so she said: "Since Miss Hong said this, then it is." After speaking, Shangguan Lihua beckoned Shangguan Jiahua and the others to walk together, but the footsteps did not stop and wait for them to synchronize.
Shangguan Lihua beckoned to Shangguan Jiahua, signaling that he could come forward, and without considering whether Shangguan Jiahua would follow, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wen Yaqin's arm and teased: "Cousin Yaqin's outfit today is really captivating the country and the city, Lihua thought, if she sees that Xuanyuan Xu for a while, she will definitely be fascinated by Cousin Yaqin's appearance today." As he spoke, he looked Wen Yaqin up and down as if he were doing something.
After a closer look, I only feel that although this Wen Yaqin is not as alluring as Shangguan Lihua said, it can be regarded as a small jasper, which has a different taste. Although Wen Yaqin is older than Shangguan Lihua and others, she has only just passed a year, and the twenty-eighth year is the most unique time. The body is also open, and the body must be better than Shangguan Lihua and other girls who have not yet reached the end of the year. I saw Wen Yaqin wearing a pale yellow fringed dress, smiling like a flower, delicate in appearance, white and greasy, with the unique style of a woman in a water town, and her face was reflected, even the most brilliant brocade looked colorless in front of her.
On the day of this Wen Yaqin and Xuan, Princess Ning couldn't wait to settle down, and since then, in the name of the princess of King Zhun Ning, everyone has put their minds on Shangguan Lihua, but they have ignored the identity of this Wen Yaqin as the princess of King Zhun Ning.
After Wen Yaqin heard Shangguan Lihua's teasing, she looked ashamed, like Shangguan Lihua in her previous life, she was a standard dignified beauty, and her behavior was in accordance with etiquette. Thinking that she could see her fiancé today, she was inevitably a little nervous and shy. Before going out, my grandmother had already reminded herself that today, Xuanyuan Xu, the prince of the Naning Palace, would also go to the Anwang Mansion to celebrate Princess An's birthday, so that she would dress up deliberately. When she heard Shangguan Lihua's words at this time, she didn't know that she was making fun of herself, but she couldn't refute Shangguan Lihua's words.
