Chapter 11 Borrowing (Thank you for your recommendation votes~)
Mingyue's gaze didn't know where to stay, it was clear that she was still at the same age, but her tone revealed three vicissitudes.
"The two don't help each other, it seems to avoid the choice, but in fact, it is to give up both parties at the same time, do you know the consequences of your actions?"
The lord of Qingning County looked hesitant.
Mingyue continued: "Princess Jiahe is arrogant and domineering, and for her, not following her is standing on the opposite side of her;
Princess Jiarou seems to be arrogant and competitive, but in fact she is kind-hearted, and even if she does not choose her, she will not attract her hostility. I'm afraid that most of the nobles who went with Princess Jiahe had this idea. β
"Then why don't we follow Princess Jiahe?"
"You look at those noble ladies who follow Princess Jiahe, have any of them ever been treated differently by His Royal Highness?"
The county lord of Qingning thought about it and shook his head slightly.
"That's why Princess Jiarou was chosen. Although Her Royal Highness is impulsive and irritable, she still takes care of those of us who follow her, and chooses Princess Jiarou, at least, we can gain a favor from her. β
This is also an important purpose for Mingyue to participate in this flower-viewing banquet.
The current Princess Jiahe has never known about the marriage between Mrs. Anping Hou and Mrs. Jiang, but although this matter is relatively secret, it cannot withstand investigation, Mingyue is unwilling to sit still, and must make some preparations in advance.
The Jiang family is weak, and Mingyue is a weak woman, if you want to make Princess Jiahe dare not act rashly, the only way is to take advantage of the situation.
Princess Jiahe was born by Wan Guifei, and Emperor Qianwen favored her a little, making her extremely popular in the harem.
The identity of the enemy is too high, Mingyue thinks about it, and the only person she can touch can be compared to Princess Jiahe in terms of identity is Princess Jiarou who appeared at this flower viewing banquet.
Princess Jiarou was born by Concubine De, as a princess who was also favored by Emperor Qianwen, and because of her disposition, she has always been discordant with Princess Jiahe.
The situation of the two princesses competing against each other at the flower viewing banquet is the same as that of the previous life, the difference is that the bright moon in the previous life was avoided with Qing Ning, not only did not get the favor of Princess Jiarou, but was even ignored by Princess Jiahe.
In this life, Mingyue has already planned to borrow from Princess Jiarou, so she naturally wants to move closer to her.
In order to win the blue eyes of Princess Jiarou, Mingyue silently calculated, Concubine De Niangniang is the daughter of Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Shangshu is upright and upright, and the most important thing is that he has been good friends with his grandfather, presumably Concubine De Niangniang must also know about it.
As long as Her Royal Highness asks about her family history, once she knows her relationship with her grandfather, she will definitely pay more attention than others, and if she shows her quietly, she will have a chance to win the favor of Her Royal Highness.
Therefore, Mingyue deliberately reminded Qingning to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess to enjoy the flowers in front of Princess Jiarou, so as to win the attention of the princess.
The only thing that made Mingyue uneasy was that she used her friend Qingning to attract Princess Jiarou's attention.
I'm sorry, Qingning.
She silently apologized to her friend in her heart.
The county lord of Qingning didn't notice anything, and after listening to Mingyue's words, he nodded in agreement: "I almost made a mistake, you are right, if you avoid it, you will be offended on both sides, or you think thoughtfully." β
Mingyue smiled gently: "You have a friendship with Princess Jiarou now, you have to maintain it well in the future, with Princess Jiarou here, even if Princess Jiahe is dissatisfied with you, she will not dare to do anything easily." β
The county lord of Qingning nodded heavily: "You also have to be careful." β
Seeing her like this, Mingyue was a little relieved.
Although Qingning has a delicate temperament, after all, she was born in a royal family and grew up in the royal family, so she understands everything she should know. It's just that I've lived in Tibet for a long time, and I haven't personally experienced these tricks, and I often can't react, but I have reminded her, plus the protection of Princess Jiarou and Princess Niangniang, I guess it will be fine.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was not early, and after Mingyue finished speaking, she got up and said goodbye.
β¦β¦
Back in the house, Mingyue went to Rongshoutang first, and after seeing the old lady, she went to the main courtyard to talk to her mother, the eldest lady Wang.
Unlike the old lady's full of love, the Wang family is more majestic and sharp.
It's just that when she saw her daughter, her dignified face softened a little.
"Will today's banquet go well?" She asked with a serious expression.
Mingyue looked at her mother carefully, in the past, she always thought that her mother only loved her eldest brother, and she had never been pretentious to her, and her tone was cold.
But when I looked closely today, I found that there was a trace of imperceptible concern on my mother's face. couldn't help but feel bitter again, how could she think that her mother didn't love her? She is her mother's only biological daughter, even if her mother loves her eldest brother the most, she never lacks love.
Once upon a time, she must have been blinded by lard!
"Mingyue, what's wrong with you? But something happened at the banquet? Wang keenly felt that there was something wrong with his daughter's emotions, as if she was hiding endless sadness.
Her heart sank: "Is it because of the Jiang family?" The lady invited to the flower viewing banquet of the county lord of Qingning is all from a famous family in the capital, and our Jiang family is indeed a little decliningββ"
"Mother, it's not." Mingyue quickly reined in her emotions and explained, "Something did happen at the banquet, but it didn't have much to do with me. β
Mother is worthy of being the head of the Jiang family, she has already restrained her emotions very much, but she still grabbed a trace of subtle expressions, and speculated so many things.
In the future, we have to be more cautious.
Wang was relieved: "Why is that?" β
"Today, Princess Jiahe and Princess Jiarou are also here."
When Wang heard this, he looked up at the maids and ladies around him, and Mama Wang, who was at the head of the house, received the signal and quietly retreated with everyone.
Only then did she continue: "Could it be that the two princesses have made trouble in public again? β
Mingyue nodded lightly and went through the things at the banquet one by one.
ββ¦β¦ The daughter thought that instead of failing to settle on both sides, it was better to strive for the favor of Princess Jiarou. β
Wang looked at Mingyue with some surprise, although her daughter is smart, she has always ignored this mundane thing, and she is quite high-minded, but today she is a little abnormal.
Could it be that someone hit me at the flower viewing banquet?
She smiled at her daughter, "You did the right thing. β
Anyway, it's a blessing that my daughter is finally no longer a dead bookworm.
When the mother said this, the daughter was relieved.
She needs to change little by little, so that her family can gradually see her ability, so that it is possible to be recognized by her family and obtain the qualification to know more information.
Even if she lives again, her knowledge is extremely limited, and there are more crises in the future, and she must know more things in time, especially the affairs of the court.
