Chapter 352: The Old Gap
Jiang's mother, Su, was born in the Hou Mansion of Yining, with a top-notch appearance, and she was a famous beauty more than ten years ago.
Whether it is Concubine Xian or Concubine Zhuang, they are all of the same generation as the Su family, although Concubine Xian is much older than the Su family, they have known each other for a long time.
Not only did I know it, but I was also impressed.
At that time, she had already entered the palace, and she was just a Jieyu, and for a while, it was rumored that the emperor had taken a fancy to the Su family and wanted to include the Su family in the palace.
She was nervous about this for a long time, and then the matter of Su's entry into the palace was over, and it was said that because Su had a fiancé who was a childhood sweetheart, she was unwilling to enter the palace.
Concubine Xian did not look up to Su Shi because of this, but became more and more responsive.
What she was asking for, why did Su disdain it?
Later, the relationship between the Su family and Cui Xu was disturbed by the eldest princess of Rongyang, and she was very happy.
Hehe, Su Shi, this is really a chicken and egg fight.
With her mother's Anguo Mansion to rely on, Concubine Xian climbed higher and higher, and she has been paying attention to Su's later experience: for example, Su has long been fighting with Cui Xu'er and sideburns and can't marry innocently, for example, Su finally married the son of Bofu, who has only been hereditary for three generations, such as Su's early death......
When Concubine Xian heard about these things, she thought: "God is really fair."
Jiang seems to look like his mother, and the appearance of the mother and daughter is like a dazzling pearl, which is unforgettable, and Concubine Xian naturally recognizes it at a glance.
With this old incident, Concubine Xian's impression of Jiang Yi is certainly not good.
She quickly thought of Jiang's background and the recent reputation of Dongping Bofu, and although her face was silent, she was so annoyed in her heart.
How could the girl from Dongpingbo Mansion appear at this plum banquet?
Concubine Xian couldn't help but glance at Concubine Zhuang, and sneered in her heart: she also said that Concubine Zhuang was so capable, it turned out that it was just like this, and she actually gave a post to such a girl.
Could it be that Concubine Zhuang still wants to give her son a stunning side concubine?
But the side concubine has the selection method of the side concubine, and there is no one who is mixed with the main concubine.
Concubine Xian pouted slightly.
As everyone knows, Concubine Zhuang was also surprised at this time.
Of course, she also recognized Su's daughter, and she also recognized Su's daughter at a glance.
How could Concubine Xian invite the girl from Dongpingbo Mansion?
She knew which of these noble ladies present she had invited. In addition to the overlapping ones, and looking at the rest of the people, she understood what Concubine Xian meant.
Concubine Xian is planning to choose a princess for King Yan who is neither high nor low.
But no matter what, you shouldn't invite a girl who has quit her family, or the kind of family in Dongping Bofu who has lost her title and has a bad reputation.
It is said that Concubine Xian is cold to King Yan, and she has no mother-son affection, but now she can be regarded as seeing it.
Uh, maybe Concubine Xian is planning to give her son a stunning side concubine to ease the relationship between mother and son?
But the side concubine has the selection method of the side concubine, and there is no one who is mixed with the main concubine.
Concubine Zhuang's belly slander was almost the same as that of Concubine Xian, and she didn't show any color on her face, and smiled back at Concubine Xian.
Under the silent confrontation between the two, the women were a little cramped.
No matter how high or low you are, when you enter this splendid palace, anyone must bow their heads.
"Sister Concubine Zhuang, let's not detain these children, let them be free."
"That's what Sister Xianfei said."
Under the gentle and soft words of the two ladies, the scene gradually became warmer, some noblewomen sat by the piano stand, some noblewomen walked to the painting tools, and many noblewomen walked out of the long pavilion and walked among the plum trees.
Jiang seemed to have been nesting in the corner motionless, occasionally replying to Ji Fanghua's words.
Concubine Xian couldn't help but cast her gaze and frowned secretly.
How could Fanghua get involved with Miss Jiang?
For her only niece, Concubine Xian loved her a little, but she didn't think about giving her to her younger son.
Her backer is her father's brother, and Ji Fanghua is her niece, once she becomes the seventh daughter-in-law, how can she handle it?
For this alone, Concubine Xian crossed out Ji Fanghua's name in her heart.
Naturally, she didn't show it on her face, and beckoned to Ji Fanghua with a smile: "Fanghua, come and sit here with my aunt." ”
Ji Fanghua looked at Jiang Yi apologetically, got up and walked over.
"Auntie."
"I haven't seen her for some days, Fanghua has really become a big girl, and she looks more beautiful than the plum blossoms in the garden."
Ji Fanghua is cheerful by nature, and she doesn't have the intention of being a daughter-in-law to her aunt, her demeanor is natural and calm, and she said with a smile: "Everyone in the family says that I look like my aunt, which shows that my aunt is a great beauty who is more beautiful than flowers." ”
"Don't talk to your aunt poorly." Concubine Xian snorted, but her face was full of smiles.
Those noble ladies who quietly swept over here sighed in their hearts: With Ji Fanghua here, their opportunities are much less.
Concubine Xian is a face-saving person, and on such an occasion, even if she looks down on her niece and Jiang in every way, she will not say it, and only detain Ji Fanghua to sit beside her.
Seeing that the nobles were behaving more and more freely, Concubine Zhuang started talking and proposed that the girls show their talents.
The women's hearts were shocked, and they knew that the critical time had come, and they cheered up one after another.
And at this time, the chamberlain sang: "The King of Shu has arrived, the King of Yan has arrived-"
Two young men in brocade robes and jade belts walked side by side.
Concubine Zhuang was a well-known talented woman before she left the cabinet, and she was better than her outstanding temperament, if she talked about her appearance, she was slightly inferior to many beauties in the harem, and the sixth prince Shu Wang obviously inherited the appearance of her mother's concubine, and she looked delicate and elegant, and her temperament was outstanding.
In the eyes of the women, this Yan King, who only exists in rumors, is simply thrilling and handsome.
He raised his eyebrows and raised his hand, obviously lazy and casual, but it made people blush and heartbeat.
It turns out that King Yan is such a beautiful man.
The noble girl who came to participate in the plum banquet undoubtedly wanted to marry the king of Shu among the two princes, after all, among the many princes, the king of Shu was famous for being favored by the emperor, once married to the king of Shu, even if it was impossible to stand in the highest position, it was enough to have unlimited scenery.
And now, the scales in their hearts have quietly shifted.
It's a pity that they don't have the right to choose whether to marry or not.
But in any case, this is an exciting thing, if you behave well, no matter which prince you marry, you will be lucky.
Greeted the two mothers, the king of Shu smiled and said: "My seventh brother and I are walking around the garden, and when we see this side so lively, we will come to take a look." ”
Of course, this is just rhetoric, everyone knows that this flower banquet is for the two princes, and they appear here to determine the princess candidate.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, and even the prince has the right to choose, provided that those girls can appear on such occasions.
In other words, the girl who appeared at the concubine selection banquet has already been qualified to become a princess by default. However, this does not mean that the prince can determine the final candidate, but several people are selected by giving flowers, and then the final candidate is determined by the concubine, the queen or the emperor.
Yu Jin took advantage of the time when the King of Shu spoke, Feng Mu turned to Jiang Yi slightly, and made sure that the person in his heart was undoubtedly present, and withdrew his gaze with a smile.
