Chapter 222: Gifts (Part II)
Huaxi just received the will in the palace and came out to see the queen, and exchanged a few words with the queen, the queen went to invite the emperor, and Huaxi went to the imperial garden first with Qiongzhi.
This time to send off relatives, Susukino Kiyuki sent Bono Heng, the county king who was also his uncle's father, to come, and Yin Chengzong was in charge of the princess and relatives on the Dahua side, and the princess of Chengjun, the princess Qiongzhi, naturally took on the task of accompanying the princess. This wedding banquet was also her assistant.
"I haven't seen you for a year, Huaxi, you are becoming more and more delicate and moving, but you can compare to the ladies and dependents present today."
Huaxi smiled indifferently, "Sister said that I laughed, you and the county king's sister didn't catch up, but over the past year, your face has become more and more ruddy and watery, and I am relieved to see that the county king treats my sister well." ”
Yi Zhen frowned slightly, her eyes flashed with sorrow, and she said with a smile: "My sister is now a princess, and she still has the leisure to pease me." But why did the new emperor of Dahua suddenly want to marry you to Ouyang Shi? I heard that you asked for a marriage? ”
Ouyang Zheng claimed to be in a fief during the civil strife in Xiyue, Huaxi heard Yizhen say this, thinking that Yin Chengzong was afraid that he hadn't told her about Xiyue, so he pretended to be shy, lowered his head for a long time before humming and saying: "Shiye has saved me twice, once in Shangjing, and once when he just arrived in Tiandu......"
The more Hua Xi spoke, the lower her voice became, Qiong Zhi knew that it was Ouyang Zheng who was a hero to save the beauty, Hua Xi secretly agreed, so she didn't ask more.
The two of them traveled all the way, fragrant shadows and clouds, jewels and jade, and full of warblers and swallows, compared with when they entered the Dahua Palace a year ago, they were even more "full of flowers", and it seems that there are many newcomers in the mansions and the Dahua Palace.
As soon as Huaxi entered the garden, she saw a group of people talking around the eldest princess and several women dressed as concubines.
The protocol sang and cheered, and everyone turned back to salute Huaxi.
Huaxi returned the salute, and a group of ladies and concubines in the garden came to greet her, and Huaxi always felt that there was a sharp gaze shooting over. She turned her head sharply and met that gaze, only to find that it was Lord Jinghe. His eyes were full of resentment and anger, and Hua Xi didn't know why, so he glanced away with a faint glance.
Someone beside Jinghe said: "I haven't seen you for a year, the adopted daughter of the Mu family has become a princess, look at the brocade skirt with golden silk peonies, I heard that Ouyang Shi specially invited someone to weave it in the south......"
"I saw Princess Jingxian last year, but she is not as glamorous as this year, she looks better and better, and she looks more and more beautiful than our Dahua."
"I also said that Ouyang Shi would never look down on anyone except Concubine Fu again, but even Jinghe was rejected at the beginning. I didn't expect to marry a little orphan girl, but who called someone to have a good father, and suddenly became the lord of the county, and now they have become princesses. ”
"yes, yes"
When Jing He heard this, he swept his eyebrows at the few noble ladies beside him who teased his clan relatives, bit his silver teeth, and said angrily: "Isn't it just an orphan girl who was fostered in the Mu family, and came back to show off with a different identity." Besides, her cousin's position as emperor is not coming from the right way, looking at Xiyue's chaos, maybe how long her princess position can last? ”
Jing He deliberately spoke loudly, attracting the sideways glances of a group of people.
"Jinghe, if you are unwell, I will send someone to send you to the side hall to rest." Qiong Zhi glanced sideways at Jinghe and motioned for them not to spoil the atmosphere.
"Hmph-" Jing He ignored it, the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, "Yun Lin worked hard, she was calculated, so she married Du Jin, a rough man, and was tortured by her mother-in-law to the point that she was not human...... Thanks to the old marquis, he took her back to the house to raise her...... An ungrateful person still wants people to respect her, how can there be such a truth in the world. ”
Although the sound was not loud, the people around him could hear it clearly.
Qiong Zhi raised his eyebrows, and was just about to stop shouting, when he heard Huaxi say: "The banquet doesn't seem to have started, could it be that the county lord has drunk too much wine?" The dignified prince of the county is like a woman in the market who does not know the number of etiquette, criticizes the government and does not say anything, but also arbitrarily slanders the palace, and the palace will definitely ask the queen mother and Princess Li for an explanation later. ”
King Li has always been at odds with Yin Chengzong, Huaxi wants to sue, Qiong Zhi is happy to see it, but because Yin Chengzong is responsible for today's banquet, she can't let people go wrong under her nose.
"Jinghe, don't apologize to the princess soon. If you make trouble with the queen, the princess can't protect you. ”
Jinghe wanted to argue, but was stopped by the person next to him, and when he looked back, it was Fu Sanniang who walked to his side at some point. Fu Sanniang shook her head at her, whispered a few words, Jing He pursed her lips, and said to Huaxi Fufu, "Princess Jingxian forgive me, Jing He is thinking that the eldest sister Jin Guifei is now sick at home, her heart is uncomfortable, she lost her words for a while, and asked the princess not to condemn herself."
Princess Jincheng has been sick since she returned to Beijing, and she has been closed in the palace of King Li, but there is news from the Tai Hospital, saying that Princess Jincheng has been stimulated and has gone crazy.
Before Huaxi entered the palace, he heard Ouyang Zheng talk about the widow of Bono Yu, and he also knew its benefits, although Bono Kiyuki had ascended the throne, but if Dahua intended to support Jincheng's son, it would definitely be the biggest threat to Susuno Kiyuki. Even if the overall situation is decided now, there is no guarantee that there will be no recurrence of incidents in the future.
Hua Xi felt more and more that those words just now were instructed by others to Jinghe, how could she, a county lord, dare to discuss the Xiyue Dynasty in public. Thinking of this, Huaxi didn't bother with Jinghe anymore, and only said: "That's it, and ask the county lord to ask your sister how well she is on behalf of the palace." The climate in Beijing is pleasant, which is more suitable for recuperation than Tiandu, and I believe that your sister will recover from her illness. Huaxi did not mention the identity of Princess Jincheng's imperial concubine, and excluded her from the gate of the Xiyue royal family, and by the way, she reminded everyone that since she recognized her identity as a princess, it means that Dahua has recognized the identity of the new emperor of Susukino Jixing, and then vainly saying that Xiyue's political affairs are to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Jinghe froze, gritted his teeth to refute, but was held back by Fu Sanniang.
Huaxi couldn't help but look at Fu Sanniang twice, this Ouyang Zheng's former aunt, and also caused her to misunderstand Ouyang Zheng's woman for a while, light blue embroidered white peony medicine gown, eight Hunan skirts of the same color dragged to the ground, three phoenix wings were pinned between the temples, two white jade hairpins were inserted obliquely, the moth eyebrows were lightly swept, the phoenix eyes and nose were beautiful, and the red lips were like cherry blossoms, but she was an elegant and demure beauty.
Huaxi nodded at her lightly, turned around and went to talk to others again.
As soon as Huaxi left, Jing He immediately whispered to Fu Sanniang: "Damn, aren't you stopping me from being a princess who came to kiss?" My father had said that Xiyue had nothing to fear now. ”
Fu Sanniang said: "The county lord is in the palace, don't forget your identity, your words and deeds represent the Li Wangfu." Your Majesty's attitude is not clear, so you just talk nonsense here, so that the prince and the world know that you have caused trouble, and they will definitely punish you. Besides, Ouyang Shi is already married, so you will die of that heart."
"Are you willing?" Jing He sneered at Fu Sanniang, who was standing behind him with an indifferent face, "You almost married him."
