Chapter 35: Swimming in the Lake
The ladies and ladies in the room all held their breath and listened to the arguments of the two princesses.
At the same time, he was deeply shocked by the courage of this Miss Jiang.
Princess Jiahe is far from being an ordinary royal daughter, even if she doesn't mention Emperor Qianwen's favor, her maternal family is not easy to mess with, not to mention, with her nature-
Because of Mingyue's rebuttal, and Princess Jiarou also building momentum for her, Princess Jiahe was already angry and could explode at any time. At the last moment, Mrs. Wanda, who had been sitting on the side, stood up.
She walked to Princess Jiahe's side, secretly glanced at her, signaled to be calm, and then turned to Mingyue, smiling without smiling:
"How about the Jiang family, the emperor has his own judgment in his heart. Today is a good day, so why bother talking about these irrelevant things? The two princesses and the ladies might as well go to the garden for a walk, enjoy the flowers and compose poems, what does Miss Jiang think? β
Mingyue looked at Mrs. Wan fixedly, and suddenly smiled slightly.
This Mrs. Wan Da really had a good means, and in just one sentence, she not only changed the topic, but also stopped Princess Jiahe's impulse.
Originally, without her intervention, Princess Jiahe was furious, and it was very likely that she would say something insulting and reach the emperor's ears, and a punishment would be inevitable.
However, she not only stopped Princess Jiahe in time, but even dug a pit for her.
Mingyue smiled thoughtfully: "Mrs. Wan raises love, and Mingyue should follow Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
A short sentence, the words are stitched together, and there are no flaws.
Mrs. Wan Da looked at Mingyue deeply, and the meaning of her words was unclear: "Miss Jiang really knows how to be polite. β
Princess Jiahe was angry and was held back to her chest, barely endured this moment, and listened to the hypocrisy of these two people, came and went a few times, there was no smoke at all, she couldn't stay any longer, and said to Mrs. Wan in a very fast voice:
"Auntie, Jiahe went to visit the garden first."
said that, without waiting for Mrs. Wan to respond, she flicked her sleeves and walked out.
The smile that Mrs. Wan Da was about to show froze on her face, and her appearance of smiling but not smiling looked a little funny.
Princess Jiarou coughed, hid the smile that overflowed to the corners of her mouth, and looked at Mingyue: "Let's go too." β
Mingyue smiled back and bowed slightly.
Mrs. Anping Hou glanced at Yun Ling, Yun Ling understood, raised her voice to greet the remaining ladies in the hall, and took them to follow the two princesses and walk all the way to the garden.
Yun Ling is Yun Ze's sister-in-law, although her status is low, but Yun Ze is the only child in the Anping Marquis Mansion, so she gave Yun Ling a few colors to Princess Jiahe.
At this moment, in the garden of the Marquis of Anping, Princess Jiahe and Yunling walked together.
Yun Ling didn't expect to be treated differently by the princess, so she couldn't help but be surprised, and her words were full of petty compliments.
"Your Highness, I wonder what kind of flowers you like? There are so many varieties in this garden, and if the ones outside are not to your liking, there is a flower house to the southβ"
Princess Jiahe interrupted her impatiently: "This princess is not very interested in enjoying the flowers. β
Yun Ling became nervous, and cautiously glanced at Princess Jiahe: "It's the courtiers who are not thoughtful, and there are no flowers in the palace, Your Highness must be used to seeing them." It's just that the courtiers are stupid, I don't know if His Highness has anything else you want to see? β
Princess Jiahe's eyes wandered around, as if she was looking for something, she looked at Yun Ling beside her, and said simply:
"It is said that there are people by the lake who write poems, and this princess is also quite interested in this knowledge, so you can take me to the lake."
Yun Ling was slightly surprised, Princess Jiahe's temperament, she had heard of it somewhat, if Princess Jiahe was enthusiastic about learning, she didn't believe it.
However, when she thought of Princess Jiahe's Xinyue brother, she seemed to understand something.
So, Yun Ling smiled lightly: "Your Royal Highness is noble, and he is so studious, it is really admirable, speaking of which, my eldest brother is also very studious, at this moment, maybe he will talk to people by the lake, Your Highness, please come with me." β
Princess Jiahe walked with Yunling, listening to her intimate tone, her heart moved: "How is your relationship with your eldest brother?" β
Yun Ling covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "The eldest brother is a good brother, and he once gave me his calligraphy and paintings......"
"Oh? In this way, Yun Ze treats you well? Also, Anping Hou only has a son and a daughter, and Yun Ze is just a sister to you, even if she is a concubine, she has some affection. β
Yun Ling's smile stiffened slightly, and he didn't dare to show his abnormality, and immediately resumed his smile.
After a short time, the two walked to the lake.
There were already several young ladies standing under the willow trees by the lake, all smiling and looking across the lake.
When Princess Jiahe arrived, she saw two conspicuous figures among the nobles at a glance - Princess Jiarou and that Miss Jiang.
Although she was upset when she saw it, at this time, she couldn't take care of these two people.
"Your Highness, look, there is really someone on the other side, it must be my eldest brother and everyone who are chanting poems!" Yun Ling jumped excitedly.
Princess Jiahe looked at it, and saw that there was indeed a group of people on the other side of the lake, and they could vaguely identify a group of sons and brothers from their vague clothes and figures, but the distance was too far for any more to see.
She frowned, so far away, she couldn't even tell which one was Yun Ze, how could she see this?
Without hearing Princess Jiahe's reply, Yun Ling turned her head to look, saw her frowning brows, thought about it, and understood the problem.
Her eyes rolled, and an idea came to her mind in an instant.
"Your Highness, walk along this lake with a pillar of incense, the river is narrow over there, there is an arch bridge, you can go to the opposite side, do you want to ......"
Princess Jiahe's eyes lit up, and before she could nod, the palace maid behind her spoke up:
"Miss Yun's words are inappropriate, the other side of the lake should be the area of the front yard of the Hou Mansion? The princess is an innocent woman, how can she mix in the place of the men in the front yard? What's more, there are many people, if the princess passes, where will her reputation be? β
Princess Jiahe paused, pursed her lips, and finally didn't make a sound.
Obviously, she agreed with Yinghua's words.
Yun Ling was unexpectedly reprimanded, embarrassed in his heart, bit his lip, and forced a smile: "What this said is extremely true, the courtier's inconsiderate thought almost damaged His Highness's reputation, it is really a sin......"
Princess Jiahe waved her hand, looking impatient: "This princess doesn't have time to worry about these things with you, so it's right to think of a way to do it." β
Yinghua had no choice but to stroke her forehead, and Her Royal Highness the princess didn't even bother to pretend, directly exposing her purpose, which was really ......
Yun Ling was just trained, and at this moment, he thought about another method, and after a while, he had another idea.
"Your Highness, there is a painting boat in the Hou Mansion, how about you go to the lake upstream of the painting boat?"
Princess Jiahe retorted without thinking: "This princess is not interested in swimming in the lake now-"
As she spoke, her eyes lit up, and her voice changed: "Swimming in the lake?" β
Seeing her react, Yun Ling smiled slightly: "If His Royal Highness doesn't dislike the humble painting boat of the Hou Mansion......
