Chapter 47 Luo Yi's scheming, the queen set up a banquet
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Sheng Jinlan on the side spoke in a strange tone, and she said hypocritically: "Now Sheng Jinlan, but she is a big county lord!" It's normal for people to look down on us. ”
Rather than saying that Jinlan is comforting the Wang family, it is better to say that she is fanning the flames, accusing Jinran of becoming the county lord without caring about her relatives.
Jin Ran smiled coldly, and she strode into the hall. Jin Ran was really defeated in the previous life under the singing and harmony of the Wang family and Sheng Jinlan. She was young, how had she ever seen such a battle? After being coaxed by others for a few words, he was stupid enough to make a nail in the head.
Today's Jinran is no longer the Jinran who softened when others said a few words.
"Second uncle, why do you bother? Come all the way to my house, who will you show to Sang and scolding Huai? "When dealing with a thick-skinned person like Wang, you have to go straight and don't pretend that you don't understand her, which will make her gain even more.
Sure enough, as soon as Jin Ran's words came out, Wang was stunned. The reason why she dared to sing and harmonize with Sheng Jinlan in the county lord's mansion was because she felt that Jinran was young and thin-skinned, so she wanted to say some gossip to provoke her.
Unexpectedly, this Jinran came back directly, and she couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Sheng Jinlan's face was a little bad, she was angry because of Roy's matter.
She didn't want to come to Sheng Jinran's mansion to beg her, but when the Wang family heard that Princess Ming'an had arrived at the county lord's mansion today, they wanted to take her away.
Sheng Jinlan thought that forcing this girl to do a favor was just a trivial matter, so she followed the Wang family.
Unexpectedly, she and her mother were sarcastically ridiculed by Sheng Jinran. She was even more unhappy in her heart, and she was annoyed by being poked in the center.
She wanted to climb into the bed of the fourth prince just to make Sheng Jinran inferior to herself, and leaned back to live by herself, but she didn't expect to come to Sheng Jinran to ask for it now.
Thinking of this, Sheng Jinlan was even more indignant in her heart, and said in a harsh voice: "Where are you proud?" It's just a false county lord. I'm the future Fourth Princess, you can take care of your tongue for me in the future! ”
Jin Ran looked at Sheng Jinlan in surprise, and rolled her eyes unabashedly: "Cheng Chengcheng, you are the fourth princess." Then where did you put the concubines of the four princes? You're a match for her, huh? Since you disdain me so much, why do you still come to my county lord's mansion? ”
Sheng Jinlan's face turned pale for a while when she was robbed by Jinran, she didn't dare to say that she was comparable to the four princesses, if this kind of talk was worn to the four princesses. Sheng Jinlan can't have a good life after getting married.
The Wang family hurriedly smiled: "Sister Ran, don't listen to Jinlan's words, this girl has been stunned for the past few days." She kept poking her head behind Jinran: "Ran'er, my aunt heard that you are friendly with Princess Na Ming'an...... This Princess Ming'an didn't come to play with you today? ”
"Second uncle, it's unfortunate that you're here." Jin Ran spread his hands helplessly, "Princess Ming'an, she just left." ”
Wang smiled reluctantly: "Where is it a coincidence, I didn't come for her." It's not your sister Jinlan who is getting married, I want to take her to see you. In a few days, I'll take her to see your sister too. ”
Jin Ran frowned, and whispered: "Second uncle, don't say too far. I think you have also heard that the queen mother is interested in choosing a serious side concubine for the four princes, you have these skills, it is better to teach Jinlan at home. Don't let her make a fool of herself in the queen's place. ”
"I heard that the queen is looking for a girl with a simple background and a thin family affair to be a side concubine. The prince can only set up two side concubines in total. One must be reserved for the queen's girl, and the other ......"
How does Jin Ran know what kind of daughter-in-law the queen likes? All these things she said were nonsense.
However, Wang and Sheng Jinlan believed it, and their faces changed. Especially Sheng Jinlan, who originally wanted to use her own appearance and identity. Although she can't be a concubine, she can be a side concubine.
But now that I hear this, this thing is going to go wrong. Sheng Jinlan couldn't help but look at her mother as if she was asking for help.
The Wang family patted Jinlan's hand comfortingly, and wanted to ask in detail. But Jin Ran shook his head, unwilling to say anything more. Jin Ran smiled: "You can think carefully about your plans." Your wishful thinking doesn't have to go off. ”
"Someone!" Jin Ran shouted outside the door: "Send off!" ”
The Wang family and Sheng Jinlan were not in the mood to mess around with Jinran, they were in a hurry to verify Jinran's words, and they stopped pestering Jinran, and hurriedly went back to the house to discuss countermeasures.
"It's still young lady smart." Li Ying smiled and looked at the backs of Wang and Sheng Jinlan leaving: "Just a few words to send the second lady and Miss Jinlan away." ”
"Li Ying, I will be wronged again in the future, but don't think about it and endure it silently in my heart today. Although you are my maid, you are also a confidant and friend who grew up with me since childhood. If someone bullies you in the future, just hit it back. Jin Ran said carefully.
"Miss ......" The reason why Li Ying didn't dare to reply today was because she was worried that Jinran would be difficult to do. She has always put Jinran first in everything. I didn't expect Jinran to notice such a small thing today.
Such a master, how can he not let Li Ying cut out a heart and liver to treat him?
The queen's Spring Festival banquet was extremely powerful. Originally, it was scheduled that the female dependents of officials of the third grade or above would come to participate. In the end, the girl who was changed to a six-rank official could also be present. Fortunately, the concubines of the four princes were chosen, and the requirements for family background were no longer so important.
Encouraged by the encouragement of low-level officials in Kyoto, they began to buy all kinds of cosmetics and clothes for their girls. I look forward to this step up to the sky today.
But Sheng Jinlan in the second room of the Sheng family was a little panicked, the queen took the initiative to lower the threshold of the four princes' side concubines, does it mean that she doesn't care about her daughter-in-law's family background?
Without this family background, Sheng Jinlan thought about herself and Luo Yi carefully, and for the first time she felt unconfident in her heart. After all, when Luo Yi was in the second room of the Sheng family, he was used to pleasing men and elders. Compared with her, he is very incomparable.
No matter how Sheng Jinlan resisted this Spring Festival banquet, the banquet was still held as scheduled.
Jinran and Zhang's also arrived early, and Zhang's specially advised when they came: "Ran'er, I know that you don't deal with that Sheng Jinlan, but today, you have to ignore her." Although she can't get much favor with her temperament, she is also with the fourth prince after all...... Yes, after today's banquet, he will definitely be carried into the palace of the four princes. ”
Jin Ran didn't care about her mother's worries: "Mother, you can worry too much." Today, Sheng Jinlan is probably only worried about fighting with Luo Yi, how can she have a chance to care about me? I'm probably the most idle one today! ”
The queen's spring banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. Now that winter is almost over, it's no longer cold outside, and there are a lot of young green shoots on the trees. It's not going to freeze these noble girls.
Princess Ming'an had to come out early, and like Jinran, although it was not so cold, she was also wrapped in a thick wool cloak.
She pulled Jin Ran and walked inside, whispering: "Ran'er, look at these little ladies, they are all dressed so brightly, aren't they cold?" ”
Yes, the ladies who came to the banquet today are either green and purple, or goose yellow and pink. Although the spring breeze is cold, they are wearing extremely light spring shirts. One race and one wear less.
It's Jinran and Princess Ming'an, because the two thick cloaks are different.
Jin Ran saw Sheng Jinran and Luo Yi in the crowd at a glance.
Na Sheng Jinran was wearing a silk robe embroidered with red gauze and gold threads, with a light purple bandeau skirt inside, with a slight pinching of threads around her waist, hazy, and her fair skin looming. She had already decided to marry into the Four Princes' Mansion, and she was a little proud at this time.
And Luo Yi on the side was unexpected.
Luo Yi has always been conservative, and he tries to dress up where everyone shows. Her temperament is not graceful enough, and sometimes she inevitably looks petty, so she always wears some high-necked robes. to show your esteem.
But today, as if she had gone out, she was wearing a strange white dress. There was no clothes on his arms, and his two snow-white arms were exposed in this way, and his clothes were not hung. There was a long slit below the knee on the skirt, and her snow-white thighs were exposed as she walked.
The small arches of her feet straightened slightly as she sat down, revealing a curve like a full moon. The four princes who could see the top were obsessed for a while.
Even if the other nobles around her pointed fingers at her. Luo Yi also looked indifferent, pulling his hair from time to time, twisting his handkerchief, revealing a lot of spring light. It attracts most of the eyeballs.
Sheng Jinlan, who was so hateful that she stared at her, eager to eat her flesh raw.
Such a bold style made Princess Ming'an amazed: "This Luo Yi is too open, and she is not afraid that the queen will be angry?" The queen can always be a 'good woman'! ”
"You don't understand that." Jinran said mysteriously. She explained to Princess Ming'an with a smile: "It is said that the fourth prince likes to be bold. This Luo Yi's status is low, and his posture is not first-class. Originally, the queen was not liked. Now she can only make a desperate bet and try her best to dress up like the four princes. ”
When Princess Ming'an heard this, she nodded thoughtfully.
She nodded and shook her head: "Hey, forget it, it has nothing to do with me." Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. Today, the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in Xixia are here! ”
The dragon and phoenix fetus that Princess Ming'an said is the youngest pair of princes and princesses in Western Xia. They are all fifteen or sixteen years old. This time the Western Xia was broken, and the king of the Western Xia sent his favorite pair of children under his knees.
said that they were asked to come to the Chinese Dynasty for exchange and study, but Princess Ming'an often accompanied the emperor, and it was clear that they were a pair of hostages who were detained in the palace. Once there is any misdeeds in Western Xia, the pair of dragons and phoenixes will be the first to suffer.
