The spring breeze gently blows across the lake, causing it to ripple. The sunlight shines on it, and it is separated into colorful rays.

Under the leadership of the county lord of Qingning, several people entered a flower forest full of weeping begonias, passed through a path covered with begonia petals, and came to a garden with rockeries, gurgling water and blooming flowers in the midst of the chaos.

However, although the flowers are beautiful, several people have no intention of viewing them.

"Qingning, I shouldn't have dragged you in......" Princess Jiarou stared at a Tianxiang peony in front of her, her expression slightly uncomfortable.

She has always been strong, and she is a princess, and she can say such a sentence, which is already condescending.

The county lord of Qingning is naturally also a knowledgeable person, she leaned over slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness doesn't need to be like this, Qingning understands that His Highness is here to serve Qingning, and Qingning is grateful." ”

When Princess Jiarou heard this, she thought about what she said earlier, and it seemed that she was indeed thinking about Qingning and Pingyang Palace!

Thinking about it like this, she became happy and looked at the county lord of Qingning with satisfaction: "According to the royal bloodline, you should call me a cousin, since you are the cousin of this princess, of course this princess has to do it for you!" ”

A few people knew that Princess Jiarou was just looking for a reason to suppress Princess Jiahe at random, and now that she had a fig leaf, no one would be stupid enough to uncover it.

Princess Jiarou was in a good mood, and the county lord of Qingning also breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Royal Highness has a noble status, how can Qingning-"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Princess Jiarou: "It is reasonable for you to call me cousin, and then call me Your Highness, wouldn't it be worthwhile?" ”

The lord of Qingning County saw that Princess Jiarou's expression was sincere, not as if she was fake, so she called softly: "Cousin." ”

Princess Jiarou smiled on her face: "That's right." ”

Her gaze lingered on the faces of the other people, and then froze on Wei Wanning:

"This is Miss Wei Er from Wei Shangshu's Mansion, right? I still remember that at that palace banquet, the second lady wrote a song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", the sound of the piano was high, like a mysterious sound, which made the princess still remember it vividly. ”

Wei Wanning lowered her head and smiled lightly: "Your Highness praises falsely, and the courtiers dare not be ashamed." ”

"That's the praise you deserve, why deserve it? Besides, even the queen mother admires you very much! ”

Wei Wanning's smile deepened a little: "The queen mother is in love." ”

After Princess Jiarou and Wei Wanning finished speaking, they exchanged greetings with the other two nobles for a while, and finally looked at Mingyue:

"I wonder which lady this is?"

The county lord of Qingning, who was already familiar with Princess Jiarou, took the lead and said: "Cousin, this is my handkerchief, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Mingyue. ”

"The Jiang family?" Princess Jiarou searched around the famous families in her memory, but she didn't find the corresponding family for a while.

Mingyue's face was as usual, dignified, and with a little respect, she said to Princess Jiarou: "The courtier's father is a courtier. ”

Rite Lang Naka?

Princess Jiarou only felt ridiculous in her heart.

The daughter of a five-grade official can also come to Qingning's flower-viewing banquet? Isn't Qingning deceived by this person?

Thinking like this in her heart, Princess Jiarou's face also turned cold.

Seeing it in his eyes, the county lord of Qingning was anxious, and said on the side: "Cousin may not remember who Mingyue's father is, but if you talk about her grandfather, you must know." ”

"Oh?"

"The former cabinet chief assistant Jiang is Mingyue's grandfather."

"Jiang Shoufu?" Princess Jiarou looked at Mingyue suddenly: "In the past, I often heard people say that Lord Shoufu is a genius in ancient times. Among the elders of the cabinet that year, he was the youngest and had the least qualifications, but he won the trust of his father because of his good words and good policies, and he repeatedly performed miraculous feats, so he surpassed several predecessors and became the first assistant of the dynasty. It's a pity that ...... "died too early......

Mingyue's face was upright and solemn, she faced Princess Jiarou, her eyes stayed on the corner of the other party's clothes, and said:

"His Royal Highness praises the ancestors so highly, and the courtiers are grateful."

Princess Jiarou looked at the girl in front of her, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and always square, raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"This is not the words of this princess, this princess just copied the words of the mother concubine."

And so it was.

Mingyue curled the corners of her lips almost inaudibly: "Please also ask Your Highness to thank Concubine De for the courtiers." ”

"Wouldn't it be better to thank you in person? Come back to the palace with me later. ”

As soon as the words came out, Princess Jiarou regretted it.

The rules in the palace are strict, and if she wants to bring someone into the palace, she needs to report to the queen mother first.

But the words have been spoken, and everyone is watching, how can they regret it......

Unexpectedly, this Miss Jiang actually refused.

"Please forgive the courtiers for not being in a situation, the courtiers think that if His Royal Highness tells them on their behalf, they can be more valued by the mother."

Princess Jiarou's heart was relieved, and a genuine smile appeared on her face. This Miss Jiang is really exquisite, obviously to relieve her, but she can not reveal it at all.

"In that case, this princess will convey it to you."

Mingyue gave a light blessing: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

After walking in the garden for a long time, Princess Jiarou was also tired, so the group walked to the water pavilion to rest for a while.

Fortunately, the two princesses were in a good mood at this time, and they did not compete with each other again and cause trouble.

Near noon, Her Royal Highness the princess got up and returned to the palace, and when she had to send off the two great gods, the county lord of Qingning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really exhausting for me today, who would have thought that they would be able to get out of the palace-"

Mingyue smiled lightly: "Aren't you getting along with Her Royal Highness Princess Jiarou?" She's your cousin after all—"

The county lord of Qingning hesitated: "Cousin Jiarou is indeed slightly better than I imagined, but her identity has never been able to make people relax......

After a pause, she suddenly looked at Mingyue: "Today I wanted to help each other and take you to avoid it, why are you-"

Mingyue pressed her hand, stopped her next words, and looked at the surrounding nobles quietly.

The county lord of Qingning understood and immediately kept silent.

After a while, all the noble ladies got up one after another to say goodbye and leave.

After Wei Wanning said goodbye to the lord of Qingning County, she looked at Mingyue: "It is an unexpected joy to be able to meet Mingyue today, and I will invite you to come over to talk about it in the future, and I hope to be able to appreciate your face." ”

Mingyue smiled slightly: "I am also happy to be valued by Wanning, and Wanning will not dare to resign." ”

Wei Wanning nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, except for Mingyue, all the guests left.

"Mingyue, now you can say, why did you choose Princess Jiarou?" The county lord of Qingning couldn't wait to ask.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Do you regret choosing Princess Jiarou?" ”

"No regrets!" The county lord of Qingning replied immediately. "But we shouldn't be involved in the two princesses—"

Mingyue looked into the distance, her eyes leisurely: "There are so many troubles in this world, if you want to be alone, unless you stay away from the world......"
