Chapter 111: Meeting Before Marriage
The eldest princess invited everyone, and Hua Meiniang was also invited, she turned her eyes to look at Pang Yan, smiling and groaning, without the slightest hint of anger, as if joking, "Concubine Pang is dividing our sisters? Then you have made a mistake, my sister and I have a very good relationship, and it is a blessing for the two of us to be able to serve King Rui together, how can we be like some people, fighting all day long and being jealous, and becoming a joke that everyone talks about before and after dinner?"
There are a lot of women in the East Palace, all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they often fight for the sake of jealousy, and even make trouble to the saint several times, which has attracted a lot of jokes.
This Pang Yan is the most good thing, and it is because of her several times.
Pang Yan snorted coldly: "Concubine Hua is saying it well now, I'm afraid that you won't be able to say this kind of thing when your sister enters the mansion, after all, this man likes new love, and then I'm afraid that you will have to stay alone in the empty room every night." ”
Hua Meiniang was not annoyed, she still smiled, and said, "Thank you Concubine Pang for teaching by example." ”
Pang Yan was still proud, but when she saw that everyone was smiling silently, she came back to her senses and knew that Hua Meiniang was sarcastically sarcastic that she was an old person, and her angry face turned red, "You-"
The crown princess watched Pang Yan deflated, and naturally she was happy to hear it, and interjected: "Okay, Concubine Pang, Concubine Hua is also a joke, why take it seriously." ”
In this way, Pang Yan didn't speak anymore, but only held this breath in her heart.
After a while, someone asked, "Why didn't you see the Duchess of Chengguo, didn't she come?"
The eldest princess of Chuyang glanced around when she heard this, "Yes, I haven't even seen the county lord of Qinghe, she usually likes to join in the fun." ”
Zhang, the wife of Lord Ruan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sat next to her, took a sip of tea, listened to her ask, put down the cup, and said, "Haven't you heard of the princess? ”
Everyone covered their mouths and snickered, the eldest princess of Chuyang was puzzled, and another woman said: "It's rare to be like them as an in-laws." The son of the lord of Qinghe County just wanted to take a concubine, so the Chengguo Mansion did not give up, and immediately let his daughter go back to her parents' house. ”
Zhang said: "Hey, if you want me to say that the waist of the Qinghe County lord is not straight, and the expenses on weekdays are all spent by the daughter-in-law with her mother's money, and her family does not run the family business, and she still wants to take a concubine for her son." If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do this, shame on me. "Flattened mouth, contemptuous expression.
The festival between the Zhang family and the county lord of Qinghe was laid when they were young, and the two of them were close friends at that time, but unfortunately they had the same vision, and they both fell in love with Lord Ruan, who was still a member of the Ministry of Rites.
For the sake of men, the relationship between two people who are like sisters has collapsed, and they have been in a posture of not getting along with each other for so many years. usually meets, and it is also a needle and a needle, but now the lord of Qinghe County has made a joke, and it is not Zhang's character not to ridicule a few words.
The county lord of Qinghe relied on the second daughter-in-law to stick to the family, and it had already spread in the mouth of the noblewoman in Beijing, and the eldest princess of Chuyang had also heard about it, she smiled heartily and said: "So, this woman, either her mother's family is hard, or her own purse is hard, if her mother's family is helpless, and she has no money to support, then she must not be eaten by her mother-in-law." ”
's words made everyone laugh, and they frequently praised the eldest princess for what she said was reasonable.
Jiao Niang tilted her head to look at the eldest princess, and nodded as well.
The eldest princess of Chuyang said that they were lively, and Jiao Niang, as a junior, was inconvenient to interject, so she sat quietly and listened. She didn't answer a word or two until someone asked.
But it didn't take long for her to listen to these parents until she heard a loud voice outside: "Princess, His Royal Highness King Rui and Qi Aojun are here." ”
The eldest princess of Chuyang was surprised at first, then pursed her lips and looked at Jiao Niang with a smile, and quipped: "It's rare to see him once a year, I am blessed by you to be able to invite him here." ”
Jiao Niang lowered her head, made a shy appearance, and looked up again, and the person had already arrived at the door.
However, Jiao Niang noticed that another person who came with him, dressed in white and snowy, with a face like a crown of jade, and three thousand love silks were loosely tied with only a ribbon, and his temperament was dusty, quite the style of Jin and Wei.
I once heard that this person was literate at the age of three, and he could recite the four books and five classics at the age of five.
Jiao Niang**'s naked gaze made Yingche's heart unhappy, and she coughed dryly as a warning. The lady sneered and lowered her head again.
Everyone saluted King Rui, Ying Che arched his hand towards the eldest princess of Chuyang, and the princess smiled: "King Rui has never come to my mansion, who is he here for today?"
Jiao Niang smiled but did not speak, and Hua Meiniang's face changed.
Ying Che didn't squint, but said: "Qi Aojun heard that the eldest princess held a plum blossom banquet here, so he pulled me to join in the fun." ”
Qi Aojun raised his eyebrows slightly, huh? Does he have it?
Turning his eyes slightly, he attracted a sharp eye, Qi Aojun's heart sank, and he smiled: "Yes, I heard that the plum garden on the princess's mansion is beautiful and picturesque, and I have long wanted to come and see it." ”
Qi Aojun is the first son of Great Qin, and there are countless people who invite him, but he rarely participates in such occasions. It's a rare opportunity to be here today.
The eldest princess of Chuyang consciously pasted light on her face, overjoyed, and said humbly: "Qi Aojun has traveled all over the country, what kind of beautiful scenery has not been seen, my little plum blossom forest is not enough." His eyes looked out, and then he said: "The snow has stopped, why don't we go to watch the snow together, and then Qi Aojun will comment again." So saying, everyone got up and walked together in their clothes.
Jiao Niang knew that as soon as King Rui came, she would be more conspicuous, and she walked slowly to the end, wanting people to ignore her. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess of Chuyang walked halfway in front of her, and suddenly remembered her and called her to her side.
Jiao Niang held the hand of the eldest princess, and on the left side was side by side with Ying Che, and everyone looked at it, only to feel that it was a pair of beautiful people.
"King Rui, I heard your concubine say, your princess is sick again, what kind of illness is it? The eldest princess and Qi Aojun had a very happy conversation, and they continued to talk along the way, and suddenly stopped and asked Ying Che.
Ying Che stared at Jiao Niang's red ears, I don't know what she was thinking, she listened to the eldest princess's question, and said casually: "Is it?"
Hua Meiniang followed behind and said in time: "The prince wants to marry a side concubine and accept a concubine, the princess has been working hard for a while, plus it snowed the day before yesterday, and she caught a cold and hurt the wind and cold, so she should be fine with her cultivation." ”
The eldest princess of Chuyang took a look at her, for some reason, she inexplicably didn't like Hua Meiniang, just like saying this now, listening to that meant that Princess Rui was sick when she married a concubine, so she said: "As a side concubine, you should usually help the concubine more and share the burden for her, the back house is peaceful and peaceful, and your prince has no worries." ”
Hua Meiniang should claim that it is, she said lightly "um", and said with a smile with Yingche Jiaoniang: "When the time comes, a new person will be added to the house, and it is only right to add a grandson to your father and emperor as soon as possible." ”
The eldest princess looked at Jiao Niang with interest, Jiao Niang was stunned at first and didn't think deeply, but when she saw the eldest princess's deep eyes and Yingche's strange smile, Fang was shocked to realize that this was talking about herself, and she was greatly embarrassed for a while.
