Chapter 114: Palace Envoy
Li Jingyi remembered that the Wang family said that today's Cheng Enbo is a person who does nothing, and the title of Cheng Enbo's Mansion is also in his generation, so it is understandable that Mrs. Chen so earnestly hopes that her daughter can enter the palace and continue the glory of the Wang family, "What about you?" Are you willing to enter the palace too? ”
Wang Minghui didn't expect Li Jingyi to ask her so directly, her wide-watery apricot eyes nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I think,"
She realized that she had lost her temper, and stroked the broken hair on her sideburns in a little panic, "Let's not say that the courtiers can fulfill their parents' wishes when they enter the palace, that is, for themselves, the courtiers think that they will inherit the current status of the Enbo Mansion, and the courtiers will not be able to find a better family than entering the palace." ”
Li Jingyi's character Wang Minghui has carefully discussed with her mother, she is in a big trouble, she should be very defensive about people, and hate others to deceive her the most, rather than teasing her heart, it is better to be honest and tell their purpose, that is, Li Jingyi refuses to help, and will not offend people.
"You are very frank," Li Jingyi smiled, took the bamboo scissors and cut a branch from the Xuejiao beside her, and took a closer look at Wang Minghui and personally inserted it on her head, "There are only queen mothers and a few shadow-like mothers in the palace now, everyone thinks that as long as they enter the palace, they will embark on the road to Tengda, do you think they are too simple?" ”
Wang Minghui never thought that it would be a smooth road after entering the palace, but she was not afraid, "The courtiers said that the county lord understands whether it is a blessing or a curse, and the courtiers want to give it a try!" As he spoke, he bowed to Li Jingyi like a candle.
The movement here can't hide from the eyes of the people around her, the Tian sisters watched Li Jingyi put a camellia on Wang Minghui, and saw Wang Minghui salute Li Jingyi with a happy face, what else didn't understand, Tian Wanfang was bold and timid, and looked at the snow on Wang Minghui's head with envy, "Sister is so beautiful wearing this camellia, she deserves to be more beautiful than Huajiao!" ”
Li Jingyi smiled disapprerovingly, cut two more branches casually, and handed them to Tian Wanfen and Tian Wanfang, "You look just as good when you wear them." ”
The Tian sisters were happy, but the Tian family on the side gritted their teeth with hatred, this pot of snowy Jinyang eldest princess said that she would be rewarded when she went back to set up a banquet, but she didn't expect Li Jingyi to cut the best three flowers casually, and now there are two poor buds left in the whole pot of flowers, if she takes it back and puts it out, people will think that it is the eldest princess of Jinyang who takes flowers to chill her!
Tian Wanfang and her sister gave each other hairpins, thanked Li Jingyi in unison, and then turned to Wang Minghui and said, "In a few days, my aunt will have a banquet, my sister must arrive, our sisters have known our sister when they first arrived in the capital, and it is also a fate for us,"
"Yes," although Aunt Tian had already invited the Lan family, Tian Wanfen still walked up to the Qin sisters affectionately, and invited them again to come to Songjie Lane with Mrs. Lan at that time.
Mrs. Xiuwu Hou attended the flower viewing banquet of the Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, and before she came out of the Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, it had quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone knew at this time that Zhou Yan and Ruihe County Lord were good friends!
Not to mention that Rong Lan broke several sets of celadon and white porcelain in his own house, and the Zhao family, who was hiding in his house, held the quilt and laughed muffledly, with Li Jingyi in the way, his nephew's daughter was a heavenly immortal, and it was useless to walk in front of the emperor, and his own daughter had to rely on the strength of the old lady of Xiuwu Hou to squeeze on the road that led to the sky.
But before the Zhao family finished laughing, the Hu family in Sitiao Lane ushered in a small internal official of Kunde Palace, and after listening to the words of the small internal official, not only the Zhao family, but even Rong Lan was stunned, "Little father-in-law, Niangniang wants to summon me?" ”
The little internal official glanced at Rong Lan with some displeasure, and said in the voice of the male duck, "Miss Rong doesn't understand what our family is saying?" Our family is here to pass on the will of the mother, if the eldest lady can't understand, then our family has no choice! ”
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, rolled his eyes and was about to turn away.
"My lord, you stay," He Feng couldn't be ashamed, dragged the little eunuch, took off a skein bracelet from under his wrist and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand, "Heavenly grace is mighty, my young lady has not eased up for a while, father-in-law is not strange, father-in-law is not strange." ”
Although it is a silver bracelet, it is the thickness of an index finger, and the little internal official is quite lonely, and his face looks better, "It's okay, our family knows that you are from Zhuzhou, and it is natural that you have not gone through this kind of scene," he glanced at Rong Lan, "Miss, don't forget to enter the palace tomorrow, if it is delayed, it is not our family's fault!" ”
was stopped by the lotus wind, Rong Lan also came back to her senses, she directly took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from her sleeve and handed it to the little internal official, "It's a cold day, my father-in-law has worked hard, my father-in-law is right, we just came from Zhuzhou, I don't understand many things, can my father-in-law have a letter with the little girl, why did the mother summon the little girl?" ”
It was also the first time that the silver ticket of one hundred taels was a small internal official, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, "Miss Rong is too polite, why did this lady summon Miss Xiao really doesn't know, and she doesn't dare to ask, but Niangniang doesn't just summon Miss Rong, you don't have to worry." ”
Not the only one? Rong Lan's joy instantly fell to the bottom, "Thank you father-in-law for seeing me, lotus wind lotus frost sent father-in-law out." ”
It wasn't until the little inner official went out with someone that Zhao came back to his senses in a trance, "Lan'er, is this the mother who wants to see you?" Ouch, Lan'er, you are really capable, so soon let Niangniang know about you! ”
Rong Lan couldn't guess why Queen Yun wanted to see her, and she didn't know whose blessing she had revealed her name to Queen Yun, but she couldn't let Zhao know that she didn't know anything about this matter, so she only glanced at Zhao lightly and straightened her clothes, "I'm a person, I've never fought uncertain battles, my aunt just looks good." ”
Hu Xuerou looked at Rong Lan's delicate face with envy and jealousy, "Didn't that father-in-law say that he didn't just summon his sister?" I don't know which young ladies Niangniang still wants to meet, is the list of small elections decided so soon? ”
It shouldn't be, they went to Xiuwuhou Mansion, but they heard that they asked each prefecture to report their daughters of appropriate age to the Ministry of Rites, and it was only a day of work, and even the primary election had passed?
How could Rong Lan not see the "envy, jealousy and hatred" in Hu Xuerou's eyes? She smiled contemptuously, and did not answer Hu Xuerou's question at all, but said to Zhao, "Where did my uncle go?" At this time, there is not even a master in the family,"
He didn't listen to Zhao's explanation, and went straight back to his yard.
The other two palace envoys sent by Queen Yun went to a mansion, and the eldest princess of Jinyang asked the little eunuch who sent the decree to the good father-in-law to send them out, and looked at everyone a little strangely, "What did Niangniang summon Jingniang to do?" ”
Li Jingyi didn't expect that Queen Yun would just summon Rong Lan, but also see herself at the same time, if she wanted to help herself get angry, what could she do with Zhou Yan? "Mother doesn't have to worry, Niangniang naturally has her intentions, won't I know when I enter the palace tomorrow?"
That's the only way, I can't send someone into the palace now, to ask the queen of the middle palace, what are the plans to see my daughter, "It's that I'm thinking too much, I'm not afraid that you will meet Rong Lan and be embarrassed?" Alas, what a good girl, how can she ......"
"Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, there is a saying that 'if there is a mother, there must be a daughter', and the former Rong Dadu's wife is immoral, how can she raise a daughter with excellent moral character?" Tian has quickly adjusted her posture, at this time, she must not offend Li Jingyi anymore, on the contrary, when the grudge between the two families is not deep, she must turn the conflict into jade silk and subdue the people.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo also nodded frequently, "What Mrs. Tian said is right, this raised son is not the fault of the father, and the daughter is not virtuous is the mother's fault, can that kind of ruthless mother teach a daughter with pure character?" ”
She looked at Li Jingyi with a worried expression, "The county lord doesn't want to take any past feelings to heart anymore, and when he sees that Rong Lan again, he must be more careful." ”
Wang Minghui didn't like what his mother said, and said with a smile, "Mother, you're too worried, tomorrow the county lord will go to Kunde Palace, and there is a mother, besides, isn't there Mrs. Zhou going with you?" No matter how bold Miss Rong is, the rules in the palace are bound, and she doesn't dare to come nonsense. ”
Zhou Yan looked squarely at Wang Minghui, who was the least outstanding among these girls, "What Miss Wang said is that if the mother arranges it like this, there must be her deep meaning, so let's just follow the edict." ”
Although the eldest princess of Jinyang didn't think that Rong Lan would really be bad for her daughter, as long as she thought that her daughter was going to meet Rong Lan in the palace, she was a little panicked, and she was not in the mood to stay guests, but Li Jingyi calmly sent Tian's Chen and Lan's out of the mansion, and then returned to Chonghua Courtyard with Zhou Yan.
"This Rong Lan is really very capable, it has only been a few days, and she was summoned by her mother, "Everyone is gone, and Zhou Yan doesn't have to hold Mrs. Hou's shelf, she is directly helped by the maid to widen the coat, crooked on the chaise longue, holding a plate of snacks and eating while saying."
Li Jingyi shook her head, "If my guess is correct, this time Niangniang summoned Rong Lan, it should have nothing to do with Xiaoxuan,"
"What did the mother tell me to do?" Zhou Yan couldn't figure it out, she handed the crystal plate to the side of the smile, "But in my opinion, as long as the mother sees that Rong Lan, she will not agree to be elected to the palace!" It's just that the appearance is too ostentatious, the key is that the temperament is simply to recruit a wolf for himself! ”
Li Jingyi didn't want to tell Zhou Yan that Queen Yun saw Rong Lan probably because of Yun Chi, so she bowed her head and said, "What you said is true, but there is still a person in this world who cannot be disobeyed,"
"Your Majesty?" Zhou Yan nodded, "Then we have to be more vigilant tomorrow, we must not let that slut take a look!" ”
Thinking that her sister had arranged it, and before Rong Lan could enter the game, the people over there were summoned by the queen, Zhou Yan was a little stunned, "What's the matter, this wicked person is still dancing one by one!" ”
