Chapter 158: Alone Favor
Now that Helan Qingxue has appeared, it is really worthy of the rumors, even now, she is still a beautiful and dignified model, and Princess Yuhua is even more pretty and charming.
"Why does Old Man Zhang need to be so polite?" Helan Qingxue smiled and said to Old Man Zhang, "Hurry up, please." ”
Old Man Zhang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth again, and his forehead was bruised, who was so polite to you? Cunning woman! With this sentence, Mr. Zhang's courtesy was accepted with peace of mind.
"The Duchess of the Kingdom is so pompous." Old Man Zhang straightened up, held back his anger, and said with a calm face.
Helan Qingxue chuckled, "Don't dare to be, the old man personally invites you, how dare the Duke of Blood Magnolia's Mansion snub?" Today, I have prepared a generous gift, wishing the old man happiness such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly showed a look of understanding, it turned out that the Zhenguo General's Mansion had made a post to the Guogong Mansion. No wonder, the Qing and Zhang families have always been in contact with each other, and today the Duchess of Guo actually came to the door to celebrate the birthday of Zhang Hao and Mr. Zhang, which really gave enough face to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
However, did the Zhenguo General's Mansion really invite people to come over to celebrate his birthday?
Clear-eyed people all said "hehe" twice in their hearts.
"Thank you, ma'am, please inside." Old Man Zhang naturally knew that it was very rude to block people at the gate, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty looked at it.
After all, people are here to celebrate birthdays. He Lan Qingxue and Qing Yuxuan's mother and daughter could only be let into the house.
Qing Yuxuan gave his mother a thumbs up in his heart, it seems that his mother is indeed a good hand when dealing with these nobles in the old capital. Looking at this character who doesn't suffer a little loss, it's no wonder that none of the noble ministers in the old capital dare to provoke the Qingguo Mansion.
The status of Helan Qingxue and Qing Yuxuan is very high in a group of guests, so they were allowed to enter the warm pavilion of the main hall, so the noblewomen and noblewomen of the rank in the capital have already sat in a room.
The ladies and relatives had already started chatting, Helan Qingxue quickly integrated into the circle of gossip, and Qing Yuxuan sat boredly on the side, holding his chin and looking around.
I was thinking in my heart, when everyone in the Zhang Mansion came out to greet me just now, why didn't that Zhang Qingrou come out? Or is he not in the house at all?
After thinking for a while, Qing Yuxuan shook his head secretly, no matter what kind of conspiracy he played, the soldiers would block it, and the water would cover it! She still doesn't believe that her biggest hole card can't gently ravage Zhang to death!
"Yo, isn't this Princess Yuhua?" A voice sounded in Qing Yuxuan's ears, and Qing Yuxuan followed the prestige, it was an acquaintance.
"It turned out to be Miss Zhou." Qing Yuxuan narrowed his eyes and greeted with a smile.
This woman is Zhou Yuanci, the eldest lady of the Zhou Mansion, the general political envoy of the General Political Department, and she had a relationship with Qing Yuxuan at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
At the beginning, Zhou Yuanci wanted to talk to Zhang Jingshu, but was ignored by Zhang Jingshu in various ways, I am afraid that Zhang Jingshu did not expect that this chattering girl could be married by His Majesty the Emperor to Feng Jiazi, the eldest son of King Feng Anqin.
However, even if Zhou Yuanci is now the future prince and concubine, Zhang Jingshu didn't pay much attention to others, just sat on the other side and chatted with a few noble girls, but still ignored Zhou Yuanci, so Zhou Yuanci found Qing Yuxuan, who was also ignored.
"Princess Yuhua's outfit today is much grander than the Hundred Flowers Banquet." Zhou Yuanci sat beside Qing Yuxuan affectionately, "I think this outfit is more suitable for Princess Yuhua." ”
The corners of Qing Yuxuan's mouth twitched, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is a palace costume, it is red, and now this body is also red, I really don't know where she saw that this dress is more grand.
Qing Yuxuan has a headache, this accosting technique is too bad and lo, right?
"Really?" Qing Yuxuan said absentmindedly, "Miss Zhou's dress today is also very beautiful." ”
"The smiling spring is peachy, and the clouds are piled with green buns; The lips are full of cherry blossoms, and the teeth are fragrant. ”
Actually, Zhou Yuanci was indeed not bad, but he looked a little ...... How to say it, cheesy, there is no aura in the eyes, so it doesn't look well-behaved, and it looks a little dull and honest.
"Hahaha...... the county lord really can speak." Zhou Yuanci was so praised by Qing Yuxuan, and suddenly the conversation came, and he pointed in the direction of Zhang Jingshu and their group of women, "They all say that you are not good at talking, in fact, I think you are very easy-going and kind, and you are much easier to talk than the eldest lady of the Zhang family." ”
"Miss Zhang is the number one talented woman in our Ziyi Empire, I am less than one ten-thousandth of Miss Zhang, so naturally I can't talk to Miss Zhang." Qing Yuxuan said lightly.
The group of women were in a hurry to talk to the future princess, Zhang Jingshu looked satisfied and arrogant, and from time to time squeezed her eyebrows in her direction and raised her eyebrows, as if the winner was showing off like a loser.
This made Qing Yuxuan feel a little ridiculous.
His treasure, my abandonment.
You Zhang Jingshu regard the position of the eldest princess as more important than anything else, and I, Qing Yuxuan, have never felt that there is anything good about that position, and I have never thought of competing with you, you have it now, what does it have to do with me? You didn't win me anything!
"Look at her sass!" Zhou Yuanci glanced at Zhang Jingshu dissatisfied, "If you want me to say, Your Majesty really won't choose a daughter-in-law for the eldest prince, Zhang Jingshu is famous, famous in the old capital, but it's all pretended, what's so good about her?!" ”
Qing Yuxuan turned her head and glanced at Zhou Yuanci in surprise, "Miss Zhou is cautious, don't talk about Your Majesty." ”
Zhou Yuanci also realized that he had lost his words, covered his mouth, and whispered, "I lost my words just now, but I know that the little grandfather is kind-hearted, so I will speak outright in front of the little grandfather, and the little grandfather shouldn't have heard it." ”
Qing Yuxuan nodded, and said in his heart, "I didn't expect that this week Yuanci is still a straightforward character, his heart has no city, and it is easy for trouble to come out of his mouth, it is really not a good thing for such a person to marry into the royal family." ”
"Little grandfather, why didn't Your Majesty give you a marriage?" Zhou Yuanci hurriedly changed the topic, "You are shocked by the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and you have won the joy of the dragon's face, it stands to reason that Your Majesty should also give you a marriage." ”
Qing Yuxuan couldn't cry or laugh, she saw that Zhou Yuanci still had a little sympathetic look in her eyes, thinking about it, in this Miss Zhou's heart, she should also be married to a prince, right?
"My family is the only seedling I have, and my grandparents want to keep me for a few more years." Qing Yuxuan smiled and covered up the past.
Zhou Yuanci nodded and said, "Yes, the Duke of Blood Magnolia's Mansion is so honored, it's a pity,...... The population is thin. I'm sorry, little grandpa, I lost my words again. ”
"It's okay." Qing Yuxuan shook his head and said, "Our family is already thin, and everyone knows about it, so there is nothing to taboo." ”
The two said something else, and one after another some female dependents entered the warm pavilion, and the originally large warm pavilion also seemed lively.
"Isn't this Miss Zhou? Oops, I haven't said hello to Miss Zhou yet. A woman came over to say hello to Zhou Yuanci, after all, Zhou Yuanci is also a "celebrity" now, and she is also a "nephew and daughter-in-law" personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor.
"You're welcome." Zhou Yuanci entertained, with a joy on his face that could not be concealed, after all, the little girl in her teens still has vanity, and she is flattered, and she must have a little joy and pride in her heart.
The woman took the opportunity to sit next to Zhou Yuanci and said in a low voice, "Miss Zhou, do you know that on Old Man Zhang's birthday today, the one in the palace will also come to visit Old Man Zhang and celebrate the old man's birthday." ”
"Huh? Do you want His Royal Highness to come over to celebrate Old Man Zhang's birthday? Zhou Yuanci said in surprise, "This is too much for the face of the general of Zhenguo, right?" ”
Although their voices were not loud, Qing Yuxuan sat on the side and could still hear them clearly.
It is indeed enough to give the face of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Thinking that time the grandmother emphasized announcing that she was happy, and His Royal Highness the King of Desire was not present, and only His Royal Highness the Third Prince Feng Pavilion came on the surface, and this Feng Pavilion was also calculated by someone before appearing in the Guogong Mansion.
There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and His Royal Highness is the eldest son of the emperor, and if there is no accident, he is the prince. Congratulations to a courtier on his birthday, a big face.
And the people in the Zhenguo General's Mansion obviously knew about this matter a long time ago, otherwise they would not have wantonly manipulated the old man's birthday.
"Isn't it?" The woman replied, "However, His Royal Highness wants the king to come this time to pay respects to his future father-in-law in advance, and it is not considered a violation of etiquette." ”
Zhou Yuanci smiled wryly and did not answer.
"Miss Zhou, His Royal Highness the King of Desire is here, and the little prince of Proton Feng'an will definitely come too." The woman saw that Zhou Yuanci was not in high interest in talking, so she hurriedly added, "Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the King of Desire is the most intimate with His Royal Highness King Qi and the little prince of Feng'an?" I heard that His Royal Highness wanted to be in the imperial study yesterday for the little prince of Feng'an to remove the identity of the proton, His Majesty approved it at that time, and also crowned the little prince of Feng'an as the king of Mian, maybe in a few days, the holy decree will be issued, you, the princess of Mian in the future. ”
"Huh?" Zhou Yuanci exclaimed in a low voice, "Why don't I know this news?" ”
"This is news from the palace, and you will know it when His Majesty's holy decree is issued." The woman looked at Zhou Yuanci with a smile, "I have to congratulate Princess Mian in advance." ”
"Oh, Jiang Nuanxin, you really make fun of me." Zhou Yuanci called the woman's name, "Is that news accurate?" ”
"It's true. Have you forgotten? My second aunt entered the palace last year, got an eye in front of His Majesty, and sealed Jieyu? She was waiting in the imperial study that day. The woman named Jiang Nuanxin lowered her voice, "So, my aunt asked me to move around with Miss Zhou a lot, and you can take care of me in the future." ”
"Needless to say." Zhou Yuanci suddenly smiled happily, held Jiang Nuanxin's hand, and patted it gently, "In the future, if the little prince of Feng'an really removes the identity of the proton and crowns the king of Mian, I will thank you." ”
