Chapter 57: Gossip

Since the arrival of the Beidi envoy in the capital, the person who dominates the gossip list in the capital has become the glamorous and unparalleled princess of Beidi.

Her fair complexion, high nose and deep eyes, coupled with her characteristic exotic dress, exude a wild and seductive aura all over her body. In particular, the big deep blue eyes are extremely moving, but few men who have been thrown away by her flattering eyes can resist their temptation. Every time she appears outside, she always attracts a group of men to stop and watch, including many powerful children.

This princess of Beidi is named Medea, and she has a bold temperament and bold manners. She followed the mission to the capital for more than two months, and the peach blossom debt she incurred could not be counted on two hands.

For example, the second grandson of a certain Shangshu and the youngest son of a certain marquis even went to the palace because of her big fight. I heard that in the end, there were 20 boards on each side, and no one was left behind. The original plan of the two families to get married also fell through, but they became enemies.

For another example, a certain imperial historian has always been pretentious, known for his honesty and integrity, because his son likes Princess Medea, and has repeatedly reprimanded his son for not knowing the importance of things. One day I went to attend a birthday banquet for an adult, but this imperial historian was found to have a glamorous scene with Princess Medea. That's fine, the key is that the people present at the time also had the son of Yushi, and it is said that an absurd drama of father and son fighting for a daughter was almost staged that day.

For another example, on the day of the release of the list in the spring of this year, many wealthy families in Beijing have sent dozens of strong and healthy slaves to guard, ready to grab some young and handsome Jinshi on the list - especially the top three - to go home to marry the little lady in their boudoir, this Huaining Hou Mansion is a typical one. At that time, as soon as the gold list was sung, the slaves of the Marquis of Huaining snatched the new champion who had not yet married with lightning speed, but unexpectedly, before the lively crowd was squeezed out, there was an accident, and the Medea princess suddenly killed halfway, and was stunned to rely on a strange kung fu and a few subordinates to snatch the champion again. This move can be very bad for Huaininghou, after all, the new champion is not a bystander, it is his cousin who has abducted a few relatives, and he has already made a verbal appointment with his little daughter. What's even more annoying is that this Medea princess robbed someone for a long time before returning it quietly, saying that she was not familiar with the customs here, but there was a misunderstanding. But after this incident, not only did the Huaining Marquis Mansion lose face, but the cousin who was robbed halfway seemed to be much colder to his little daughter, and the matter of passing the ceremony was also delayed again and again.

All in all, as long as you talk about the romantic history of this Medea princess, it is really a day and a night that cannot be finished.

Especially the ordinary people, they don't know what the Beidi mission is here for, why they haven't left for so long, and this princess doesn't care if she makes half of the capital into a miasma? They don't get answers to questions like that, and they don't look into them. What they want is just a blind concoction after tea and dinner.

However, I don't know when they started to concoct their concoction suddenly no longer Princess Medea, but became another woman of noble status.

This rumor spread from the well-informed high-level officials and powerful people's houses, and for a while, all the noble ladies in the social circle were too lazy to be polite when they met, or warmed up the scene with topics such as praising each other's complexion and how their little grandson was, but with "Have you heard?" And the mysterious look of the eyes began.

The same is true of the Huaining Marquis Mansion on this day.

happened to meet the birthday of the second young lady of the Hou Mansion, because she was not a clan woman, but a junior, so naturally there was not much pomp, but she invited a few close friends and her mother's family to come over to eat, drink, and watch the play. After three rounds of drinking, it was time for the tea party, and the topic was inevitably brought up by one of them.

"Yingniang, your father-in-law is in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the news is always better than ours. Is that true? A little sister asked with great interest.

Hearing this, the second young lady subconsciously looked at her sister-in-law present, and got a reassuring look, so she smiled and nodded.

The ladies were also eager to try, thinking about whether to ask about this, but when they saw that someone proposed it, they were right in the middle, and they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"It should be true, when I heard about this a few days ago, the Hou Mansion handed over the post, and it was clearly written on it, and it was Princess Pei who was visiting. The next day, there was a reply, but she said that the princess was tired from traveling and unwell, and she could not meet me for the time being......"

Before she could finish speaking, the others whispered excitedly.

"Oh my God, it's true! Didn't you already have a funeral back then? It is said that the corpses have also been brought back, and they are not clothed mounds, how can they ......"

"It's incredible that people can come back to life after death! Maybe the corpse is not herself, the princess must be surrounded by maids when she travels, maybe the corpse is mistaken? ”

"It's also strange, if people don't die, why did they come back after all these years? It's not like amnesia, it's like those plots in the script~"

Everyone was talking about it, and when they left, they were all satisfied, their eyes shining, their expressions of surprise and excitement, and they looked eager to spread the news to more people.

The prince of the Huaining Hou Mansion turned her head and reported to Mrs. Hou, who nodded with satisfaction.

"You're doing a good job, and you're choosing the right time today."

After the daughters-in-law all stepped back, the smile on Mrs. Hou's face slowly retracted, and her eyes became deep and helpless.

She didn't want to rush to the knots like this, but she had been too close to the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion over the years, and even her youngest son had set up a family affair, and she would marry Concubine Lin next month, a cousin in the next room.

Although before Princess Pei's accident, the relationship with the regent was not very harmonious, and even made trouble to the point of moving to the capital to live for a long time. It's just that over the years, Concubine Lin's rectification is far away, and there is no happy news from the palace, and the regent of the water and land dojo of the princess's "death day" every year will inevitably come in person, and will put aside the government for a few days, from these signs, the regent does not seem to be unintentional to Princess Pei.

What made her even more alarming was another news that might have disturbed more people to sleep at all-

The day before yesterday, the regent was in the Xuanzheng Palace, and the officials who went to the scene saw a small pink doll sitting next to him, but it was not the one from Concubine Lin. It is rumored that the regent seems to cherish him very much, and he did not get angry when he broke several copies of the music that day, but just said something like "go back and let your mother spank you" with a cold face.

Huaininghou happened to run to tell Princess Medea that day, and happened to see this scene. He looked at the doll carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was very similar to the regent himself, the outline, the eyebrows and eyes...... Pinching his fingers to calculate the age of the doll, combined with the gossip of the past two days, he came up with a bold and bizarre conjecture. I didn't take it seriously, and after a few perfunctory words, I ran back to my house to sum up with Mrs. Hou.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Hou is not a person who can sit still, so she threw out the worship post the day before, and it happened that the message from the regent palace Huai Ning Hou entered the mansion together.

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be stunned by this extra-large gossip.

Is this little doll actually the sister-in-law of the regent palace who was born when Princess Pei was in exile after the accident?

Oh my God~

If it is false, how can the regent treat such a cold-faced Hades as a parent?

If it is true, no matter how bad the relationship between Princess Pei and the regent is, with this sister-in-law, her position in the main room is stable and unshakable!

For the first time, Mrs. Huaininghou hated that her ears were too soft, and she was instigated by the second room to settle down on the family affairs of the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion. Although it is extremely common for the noble family to marry each other, but at such a juncture, I am afraid that Princess Pei will be too careful.

It's not just the Huaining Marquis Mansion that can't sleep tonight, not only the few who got the accurate news today, but even the Regent's Mansion in the center of the gossip on the upper floor of the capital, and few people in it dare to relax and sleep. Because, the masters in this mansion seem to be in a bad mood one by two.

The gate of the main courtyard, which had been sealed for a long time, finally opened, welcoming back its owner, and it was still a one-belt rhythm.

There are many servants in the backyard, and even if they are explicitly restrained from chewing their tongues, no matter who lives in the main courtyard, this action itself is meaningful, and these people can't help but think about it. As a result, the news quickly spread and spread to almost every corner of the palace.

A group of little maids who were newly swept over to the main courtyard a few years ago naturally became the center of the source of this gossip, but when others asked, they could hardly answer any valuable information.

Because, this master is too deep and simple! It was only on the fourth day after entering the house that they showed their faces, but they soon entered the house again, and they could only see a silhouette.

Most of these little maids are newcomers who have only bought in the past two years, and they haven't seen what the former princess looked like, so they haven't thought too much.

Only one of them can be regarded as an old man, who served in the palace before the princess left the palace to recuperate, and she muttered her conjecture, "The face seems to be very similar to the princess, but I always feel that there is something not very similar." It didn't attract much attention, and most people preferred the happy ending of the reunion, and there were no conspiracy theories to suspect that this was a fake princess.

In addition to the prince himself, the first to visit were Aunt Liu and Aunt Qin from the West Courtyard. It's just that the princess didn't see them, they ate a closed door, twisted the waist of the willow or the waist of the water snake and left. Before leaving, the tender eyes of the two failed to find the figure of the prince, but their expressions were different.

The second visitor was Concubine Lin, who occupied the other corner of the West Courtyard, and she came with Da Lang, who is now almost four years old. The latter was dressed up very energetically, dressed in a new little robe, with clear eyebrows, and looked like a miniature version of a little scholar. What is very rare is that Concubine Lin herself actually abandoned her flamboyant style of dressing in the past, and today she wore a half-worn and not new blue jacket and skirt, and the jewelry can also be simple, so that the maids who are used to seeing her wealth and grace along the way are stunned.

There is that old man thinking in his heart, it seems that the incident in the house is really right, Princess Pei not only came back, but also brought back a sister-in-law. Concubine Lin is not in a hurry now, although she gave birth to the eldest son of the prince, but in the end, it is the eldest son, and there is no comparison with the concubine. It is said that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and the prince personally brought someone to take the princess back, which shows how much he attaches importance to the princess's mother and son.

If it were someone else's house, this concubine would obediently clamp her tail, and most of the main room would turn a blind eye.

It's just that the legendary jealous concubine Princess Pei will eat this set?
