Song Wanzheng felt like a ripple in the heart lake of stones, and it quickly calmed down after a while. looked at Zhou again, "Mom, I was taken by my aunt since I was a child, you are my mother, and I also treat you as my mother." ”

Although Zhou didn't know why she said this, there was a soft light in her eyes, "The blessing of the old slave." ”

"It's not a question of whether I can fight or not, it's that I don't have a chance to fight now." Song Wanzheng looked at the gradually cold sky outside, her lips were a little pale, and Zhou hurriedly put on a cloak for her.

A slight drizzle drifted in from the windowsill, "And the state began to start, Brother Qian'er suspected me. I don't have a chance. "She was originally an orphan girl, and she was able to marry Sheng Qian because of her aunt's support, but now she is useless.

Song's head hung down, sometimes she should thank her aunt, after all, if she didn't have her, maybe she would have become the laughing stock of the entire capital. But sometimes she regrets that she has been in a fixed cage for more than a decade.

"How so?" Zhou hurriedly said, "Isn't it just a matter of a ledger?" Madame just give it to the old lady. ”

Song lowered his head and smiled, then shook his head again.

"Let's see......"

The wind and rain were shaking outside, and the small Buddha hall of the Song family only had a little warm light.

——

These days, Sheng Mingzhu is also difficult to sleep.

Everything in her dream seemed to close the lid, and she felt a biting chill on her body before the winter broke.

On this day, Sheng Qian did not go to the morning court, and the father and daughter had breakfast in one place.

"What do you want? Lethargy? She has always been proud like a little peacock, and when she got up early this morning, she hung her head, and Sheng Qian naturally realized that something was wrong with her beloved daughter.

"I'm thinking about those things", Sheng Mingzhu looked at her father, "Dad, I've always felt very nervous lately, will something happen?" ”

Sheng Qian knocked on her head, "What can there be, what is there and Daddy is in front of her." He smiled again, "It's winter soon, and when the academy is on vacation, Daddy will take you to Zhenguo Temple to have a look." Although it is winter, the peach grove there blooms all year round, and it is very beautiful. ”

After speaking, he picked up the official hat from the table and prepared to leave. Sheng Mingzhu saw that he only ate one bun, "Daddy, have you eaten enough?" ”

Sheng Qian waved his hand, and the person had already walked out of the courtyard gate.

Sheng Mingzhu didn't catch up either, he was always busy these days.

On the side, Yun Niang walked out of it, carrying a food box in her hand, and looked at the eldest daughter alone, "Why did you leave again." The household department is busy, and I still want him to carry something to pad his stomach......"

Sheng Mingzhu walked over and opened the food box, it was a cloud cake, and it was still steaming. She smelled the fragrance last night, but she never saw it, so she stretched out her hand, "Daddy doesn't have a mouthful, but I do." As soon as she took a piece, Yun Niang didn't hit her, she retracted her hand, and looked at Yun Niang aggrievedly, "Mother, you are completely biased." There are good things that only think about Daddy. ”

"When I didn't notice, didn't you wash your face and wash your hands when you woke up in the morning?"

Sheng Mingzhu shrunk his neck.

Huang's mother came out with a basin of hot water from inside, and wiped her hands carefully with a handkerchief, while muttering, "The girl who is about to say goodbye has no personality." Waiting for Ming'er to get married. ”

The tip of Sheng Mingzhu's nose wrinkled, and she was waiting for Huang's mother to clean her hands, and was about to take the pastry.

Outside, there was a knock at the door. Jin Zhi went to open the door, it was the porter, and handed over a post, "The banquet post of the prince's mansion." The little county lord is full moon, and the prince's side concubine is feasting on all guests. ”

——

On such occasions, it is common for the head of the house to bring her marriageable children to the house.

This kind of banquet guests, in addition to the normal etiquette, is often like this.

After Ruan dressed up properly, he went to Sheng Feifei's place again. She was still losing her temper, and the porcelain pieces of the rouge box in the house were shattered, "I wore it all during the previous poetry meeting, and now that the little county lord is full moon, I'll wear it again, isn't it a shame?" ”

"My little ancestor, it's almost time, how can you still make a fuss here?" Ruan Shi stepped forward and picked up the step shake that she threw on the ground, "I'm going to the Prince's Mansion today." There are many princes and grandsons who are married, and you are still making trouble about these small things, and you are not afraid of delaying time. Who would have thought that the side concubine Niangniang suddenly gave birth, and if you want to create jewelry, you have to wear this in March, and others think that you will treat the prince's mansion slowly? ”

Sheng Feifei has a high spirit, and she should have said goodbye earlier, but she has been delayed until she is now sixteen years old, in order to seek a good future.

Ruan Shi said so, even if she didn't want to, she still let Cuizhu put it on her.

Today is a happy event, a full moon feast. She wore a pink undershirt and her handmaiden adorned her makeup. Sheng Feifei's appearance is naturally not bad, and after some embellishment, her appearance is delicate and moving, Ruan Shi nodded with satisfaction, "My son is beautiful and young, and this banquet will inevitably overwhelm the crowd." ”

Sheng Feifei's face was slightly red, and she looked at herself in the mirror again, and her chin was raised a little.

After tidying up, several people hurried to the sedan chair outside. Sheng Feifei saw another sedan chair with sharp eyes, and immediately raised her eyebrows, "What?" Sheng Mingzhu also goes? ”

Ruan Shi shook his head, this prince's mansion sent a banquet post, and she didn't give it to Sanfang at all.

"Oh no, they don't have a post again, let's talk about it later."

Sheng Feifei glanced back and stepped on the sedan chair again. Ruan was about to get on the sedan chair, but saw the door open, and a few more people came out, it was the golden branch that had been waiting behind Sheng Mingzhu.

Dressed in a red shirt, the shoulders were pulled apart, but they were blocked by a shawl, with a golden and bright step. It looks very ordinary and slightly gaudy, but because she is born with a luxurious temperament, she blends with each other, like a bright peony.

The steps were shining brightly, and it also burned Sheng Feifei's eyes.

Seeing that Sheng Mingzhu was about to get into the sedan chair, he grabbed Ruan's sleeve again, "You go and ask, I don't want to stay with her." ”

Ruan didn't want to cause more trouble, but he couldn't bear her grinding, so he opened the sedan curtain and asked.

"Mingzhu, where are you going to dress up today?"

Sheng Mingzhu had already gotten on the sedan chair with half a foot, and listened to Ruan's question, sat up straight when he turned around, and picked up the winter dates in the sedan chair again, "Isn't it the full moon banquet of the little county lord today?" Didn't the eldest aunt go there? I thought my aunt knew. After finishing speaking, he stuffed the winter dates into his mouth.

Sweet is sweet, but it has been in the sedan chair for a long time in the morning, and it is a little cold.

She frowned and didn't eat the second one.

"Miss, the dates are cold, moisten your throat" Jin Zhi handed her a cup of warm tea, and lowered the curtain again. Ruan Shi could only see the two figures inside, and he wanted to ask again, but the sedan chair in front of Sheng Mingzhu was very fast, and if he wanted to say more, he had to raise his voice, which was quite unsightly.

Ruan had no choice but to press it, and then put down the curtain and sat down again.

"Why is she going?" Sheng Feifei rubbed the handkerchief in her hand.

At first, she didn't feel like this, but she didn't know when she didn't want to see Sheng Mingzhu's face.

Sheng Mingzhu has no ability, even if she is as stupid as a pig, even if she is arrogant, but she has a good face and a good father, no matter how much trouble she makes - she is just a child with Liu Feirong, but because the position of the prince of Liu Guogong is gone, she has become a famous character in the capital.

On the contrary, she has nowhere to go for her daughter-in-law.

"What do you want to do so much, she is a daughter, and she is going to a serious banquet today. How could a family marriage think of a concubine, your heart is relaxed. "Nguyen is a bending and stretching child, different from his daughter.

Especially now that Sheng Qian is a household waiter, if she can, she still wants her daughter to be close to Sheng Mingzhu like a sister.

"You know what?"

The Ruan family is not from a high background, and he has never stood up the majesty of his mother in front of Sheng Feifei.

Sheng Feifei bit her lip, "The marriage of the family depends on the concubine." Those men are not superficial and only look at one face, if she goes, if the seven princes and the three princes all look at her? Who still looks at me? She gave birth to a foxy face, and her aunt gave birth to a slut, and she is used to seducing people! "How can she compare?

"What can a concubine do?"

Ruan's idea is still the Great Zhou, identity is more important than everything, "You are the granddaughter of the Shengguo Mansion, and your grandfather has a heavy army." Which of those princes doesn't want to ascend the throne, as long as you save this idea, you are the treasure they can't ask for. ”

Sheng Feifei heard her say this, her eyebrows just relaxed, but she was suddenly dissatisfied, "What did you tell me since you were a child, Sheng Guogong's family is noble, but none of those real nobles are willing to associate with me." ”

The real noble girl Sheng Feifei said in her mouth was not Jiang Runyan, but also several other county lords and princesses. She was originally a girl from the national family, and even the daughter of a first-class minister was not a real noble girl in her eyes.

"You have to ask your grandfather about this, his stinky temper can be endured by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." Speaking of this, the Ruan family was also very dissatisfied, "Our family is also a national family, but your grandfather does not have deep friendships with those palace nobles, and he also supports a large number of mud legs. ”

Sheng Feifei frowned slightly, picked up the small mirror, and looked at her makeup again.

——

"Rare guest? Don't you usually come to such occasions? ”

As soon as King Lijun passed through the corridor in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, he saw Guan Ping. He has always loved black and white, but today is the full moon of the little county lord, and the black and white colors are a little unlucky, and he rarely wears a red gown.

If a man wears red, if he lacks temperament, he will look feminine. It's just that this one holds great power, there is no shortage of people around, and he is very imposing. Guan Ping only raised his eyes slightly, and Tsing Yi poured tea for the two of them on the side. King Lijun sat down before leaving, and heard him ask again, "Have you been happy outside the gate for more than a year?" ”

"Naturally. The wine outside the gate is strong, and the beauties are even stronger. King Lijun held the wine glass, and he didn't know what he thought, and a smile appeared on his face, "In short, it's many times more fun than here in the capital." ”

While the two were talking, there were loud voices outside. King Lijun leaned slightly, glanced at it and stopped looking.

"Don't you love beautiful women? On such a lively occasion, which beauty should it be. Guan Ping said.

King Lijun made a face-blocking expression, "Come on, I only see who she is when I look at the corner of my clothes." Jiang Runyan has been in the palace since he was a child, and he is not so bad that he can't recognize his cousin, "The reason why the women outside the gate are beautiful is because they have simple brains. Guan Ping, don't you know that these girls in our capital have as many eyes as pinholes. ”

Next to him, Tsing Yi poured tea for him, and he continued, his eyes wandering everywhere.

"You see, I knew it was her." King Lijun looked at Jiang Runyan, who was dressed in clothes in the crowd, "Let me tell you, my cousin has a very high spirit, and I am afraid of this kind of woman." My mother has always liked her, and I was afraid that my mother would mess with the mandarin duck score when I went out of the customs back then-" Speaking of this, King Lijun couldn't help but drink a glass of wine, "Unexpectedly, I was self-inflicted." ”

Looking at what seemed to be a sad past, Tsing Yi looked at King Lijun, and some gossip wanted to know the follow-up plot.

However, King Lijun didn't say any more, only hung his head.

Sheng Feifei and Ruan's got off the sedan chair and walked very fast all the way. When they arrived at the prince's mansion, the two handed over the post and went in, and then looked outside for a while, but saw Sheng Mingzhu get down from the sedan chair, and the golden branch next to him also took out a greeting post.

"Why does she have a prayer post too?" Sheng Feifei's voice muttered, a little dissatisfied.

Ruan Shi pushed her, "Don't care about this, let's talk about it first." ”

The two quickly entered the house with the attendants of the Prince's Mansion.

There were already a lot of people inside, and Sheng Mingzhu walked through the verandah. Jin Zhi put down her long shawl, and swayed like a long skirt on the floor, and her beauty added a little color to the ordinary verandah for a while, and when she saw her friend Song Yu, her face smiled a little bigger.

Like a beautiful flower, it is also an age like water, and there is a moment of silence in the venue.

Sheng Feifei had already sat down among the nobles, and she heard the surrounding voices quiet. I saw that it was Sheng Mingzhu who was coming here, and looked at everyone for a while. There are no more than the academy here, there are most heads and faces, and they all only glanced at each and then lowered their heads, but their eyes wandered to where Sheng Feifei knew in her heart.

I was irritable and fanned the wind with a fan.

It is always Song Yu and Jiang Runyan who are in the limelight, and if these two people are these two people at this moment, Sheng Feifei may have nothing in her heart. At least it was a different person, and her mood was different.

"It's the little county lord who is full moon today, so noisy, I'm afraid it's grandstanding." Meng Yao saw that she was not happy in her heart, and looked at the unparalleled person in it, "The beauty is just Erer, the face is just dry bones." Fei Fei, you know music and are good at dancing, you are a real spiritual beauty. ”

Sheng Feifei's face turned slightly red, and she pushed Meng Yao with a group fan, "How can it be as good as you say?" ”

"More than enough than her, isn't it?"

The two of them laughed as they spoke.

Jiang Runyan was wearing her favorite white clothes, showing her shoulders slightly, listening to the voice of Yingying Yanyan next to her, her face showed slight discomfort.

Today, she heard that he has taken the place of His Majesty, and he is going to give a birthday gift to the little county lord who has passed the full moon, so he will dress up here. Thinking of this, he looked to the side again, he sat with the male guest, and watched from a distance as he poured wine and said something to another man in gorgeous clothes. But as if he saw something, he suddenly turned his head.

Jiang Runyan put down the wine cup and mentioned it slightly in his heart. I couldn't help but pinch the fan again, covering half of my face.

He looked through this side, Jiang Runyan smiled slightly, and felt that his demeanor was not beautiful enough. only to find that his eyes were just passing here, but still moving forward, so he followed his gaze -

There are two beautiful flowers, one smiling like a flower, like an amorous hibiscus. A cold and elegant, such as a white lotus with clean water. The fan in Jiang Runyan's hand was pressed on the table, who was he looking at?

Song Yu?

Sheng Mingzhu.

——

At the beginning of the night, dancers wear light clothes and lanterns of various colors are hung high. The prince is now over forty years old, and this little county lord has been four or five years since his last heir, and he can be regarded as an old woman, so he asked for the title of little county lord for her just after she was born.

Even the biological mother of the little county lord, the Qin family, was also made a side concubine.

"I didn't think about it, I was born with a daughter at that time, and I didn't think there was any hope." Concubine Qin and her sister Mrs. Bo Yuanhou said.

"Why don't you like it, you don't look at who the little princess's birthday is with you?" Mrs. Bo Yuanhou whispered beside her, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the name of this county lord was given by the emperor himself." Your position as a concubine is rising, and you should thank that person if you want to thank you. ”

The Qin family is not a stupid person, my sister didn't say it explicitly but quickly figured it out, "You said that Emperor Zhaoren ......" Halfway through the words, she was blocked by Mrs. Boyuanhou, "It's good that you know this matter in your heart." What the little county lord will look like in the future, you should also understand it in your heart. ”

Qin nodded, and said after a while, "Sister, you are here this time, you are not allowed to go back, you have to help me." ”

"How can I help you?" Mrs. Bo Yuanhou chuckled, "Now that you are high, you are the side concubine of the royal jade butterfly, and you have your own identity, and you still think that you are being bullied like when you were a child?" ”

"This side concubine is not easy to be." The Qin family was raised by her since she was a child, and there was nothing taboo for her sister to be in one place, so she frowned, "The one at the top of my house can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and I live in fear every day." Just as he was about to say more, the grandmother outside said, "Concubine Niangniang, the prince asked you to go out with the little county lord." ”

Qin Shi hurriedly got up from the couch and didn't dare to delay. The crown princess has been dissatisfied with the little princess since she gave birth, and now seeing that the little princess is becoming more and more favored by the prince, every time she looks at herself, the Qin family panics.

Fortunately, because the little princess was favored, the prince was in his own way, so that the princess had nowhere to start.
