The beard cut off by the princess of Hengshan was very secretive, and Wei Mengying's mother and daughter never knew anything.

So after receiving the post of the Shangsi Qing Banquet, I still prepared like last year - Wei Mengying held her breath and did it against the concubine: You said that my daughter would be embarrassed when she went to live in the Boling Marquis Mansion for two days, and asked her not to go out of the door? ! I'm going to let her out!

Song Yixiao had to do this: she couldn't and didn't want to live in the palace for the rest of her life, especially after the concubine gave an ultimatum! So getting married is imminent, but as a stepdaughter under the fence, her chances of going out to socialize under the guidance of her mother can be said to be very small.

Participating in the invitation banquet between the ladies is the only way for her to remind everyone that there is such a young lady to be married in Hengshan Palace-otherwise, where will the person who proposes marriage come from?

Especially the post received this year is still under Dou Roumei, the eldest daughter of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and the lord of Qingjiang.

It was not easy for Emperor Xianjia to ascend the throne, and after he came to power, he was not polite to his half-brothers and sisters, or killed, imprisoned or seized the title, basically did not let any of them go. But for the only two surviving siblings, it is a favor.

Crowning a niece as a county lord is one of the favors.

Song Yi smiled at Yuan Xuecao's light, and met Dou Roumei during the summer vacation last year, and also presented a pair of sachets, and was praised by the county lord for his embroidery skills - so there is a post this year.

Such an opportunity should not be missed in any way.

She was taking Zhao's mother and Jinxun to check the skirt and hairpin ring, and Lu Kou'er's maid Guizhi suddenly came: "My county lord heard that Miss Biao can't rest assured because of the injury of the Marquis of Boling, and she doesn't plan to go to the banquet this spring." So I sent a slave to ask Miss Song, do you want to go out at that time? ”

"The county lord is kind, but I will be disrespectful." Song Yixiao's identity is embarrassing, and in the past two years, she has been walking around, and she has gradually been accepted by Yuan Xuexu, a serious lady of the Hou Mansion.

Rao is like this, there are still many ladies who look down on her.

Yuan Xuexu can still help relieve the siege when she goes in and out with her, and this time she goes to the banquet alone, she will definitely be in trouble-if she can go with Lu Ko'er, she can reduce a lot of trouble.

It's just that after Gui Zhi left, Song Yixiao's face was not very good-looking: "This county lord's banquet, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome." ”

"Huh?" Mother Zhao and Jin Xunzheng held a brocade skirt together and looked at the light carefully, but there were hooks and dirty places, and when they heard this, they were shocked, "Why did Miss say that?" ”

"In the past six years, the four county lords have been lukewarm to me, and you also know it." Song Yixiao pinched his eyebrows, "Now that it is suddenly warm, how can there be such a good thing?" ”

Mother Zhao knew that when Song Yixiao returned to the palace, Lu Ko'er had dragged her to Shaoyin Garden, so she said: "But didn't the county lord invite you to go to the courtyard where she lived last time?" Although you refused at first, you also promised to go to the Hou Mansion in the future, and you will take her with you! Could it be that I am afraid that you will regret it, so I will sell your personal favor? ”

"I'm sure I'd have thought so before I put it aside!" Song Yixiao took the tea handed by Jin Xun and blew it, put it down, and said with a sneer, "But when I saw the concubine two days ago...... Jinxun, do you remember what the concubine said? ”

Jin Xun was stunned for a moment, his mind turned around, and he suddenly said: "The concubine said that the Marquis of Boling's mansion is now headed by a young man of Marquis Yuan, so the four county lords are not allowed to visit, so as not to gossip!" ”

"The concubine spoke, even if the Yuan family invites me to come over again, it is impossible for me to take the four county lords out!" Song Yi brushed his sideburns with a smile and narrowed his eyes, "We didn't know about this before I was summoned by the concubine to ask about the crime." But the four county lords will not know? Since she can't go to the Hou Mansion at all, what do you say she wants me to call her out for when I'm invited? ”

She sighed, "Actually, I felt strange when the fourth county lord asked me to send a message, although she didn't have a close relationship with Sister Yuan, in the end, she was a cousin, especially Sister Yuan's sex. Son, it's much easier to coax than me! With her identity, it is not difficult to send someone to the Hou Mansion to find Sister Yuan as a messenger. I didn't ask for my cousin, but I came to beg me to be under the fence - how suspicious I looked! ”

She sneered, "Sure enough, you're waiting for me here!" ”

After all, the two have been classmates for six years and live in the same mansion, but they have always kept their distance, and they suddenly invited each other, with Song Yixiao's caution, they basically would not agree, even if they agreed, they would guard against her at that time.

But if Lu Qianer had "requested" Song Yixiao before this, then such an invitation would make sense - selling personal favors with a show of hands can also inspire Song Yixiao to do her best.

If it weren't for the unintentional words of the concubine when she summoned her, Song Yixiao was afraid that she would still be kept in the dark!

"If there is really a sister, there must be a sister!" Song Yixiao felt resentment from the bottom of her heart when she thought of the past, "Back then, Cui Jianlian was the front foot who said good things about me and the back foot instructed people to release mastiffs, but now the fourth county lord has learned her cousin's hand!" ”

She turned to the maid, "Jinxun, you must pay attention when the time comes, we must take care of all our things, and you should be careful yourself!" Don't care too much about me, in the end, in front of everyone, or in the county lord's villa, forgive the four county lords and don't dare to openly do anything to me! ”

Mother Zhao exclaimed, "You still want to go?!" "This shows that the four county lords are thinking wrong, shouldn't they avoid it?

"Can you not go?" Song Yi smiled and sighed, "Sister Yuan went home, Marquis Yuan's injuries are not light, and in a short period of time, it is impossible for her to come out and walk around!" What's more, Mom, do you think Sister Yuan is two years older than me, she is sixteen years old, and Marquis Yuan is also back, can you tell her about others? When the time comes to get out of the pavilion, then I won't have the time to care about me - she is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, even if the Marquis of Yuan didn't come back before, the identity is there, and the excitement between the ladies in the imperial capital will never forget her! But I'm different. ”

Without Yuan Xuexu to take her out, it means that in the future, this kind of invitation can only be fought for by herself.

And with her status and weight in this circle, if she doesn't attend a few times, she will be forgotten by everyone!

At that time, she was listening to her mother's hook. Take Yuan Xuepei, or go back to Song's house to consider Liu Zhiyin?

Mother Zhao also understood this truth, and couldn't help but sigh.

…… In the blink of an eye, it is Shangsi.

Before dawn, Song Yixiao got up, and the outfit was thought out two days ago: the long hair of the crow and crow was curled into a pretty and charming bun with clouds, hairpins and begonia beads, and obliquely inserted with green steps; Mingzhu, Yingluo ring, twisted wire inlaid treasure hand.

Light makeup and light powder, light rouge.

However, there is a little bright color on the lips, which is red like blood, which more and more sets off the black crow sideburns and fragrant cheeks and snow muscles.

The dress is a pine pattern wide-sleeved placket, and the placket and cuffs are inlaid with an inch-wide brocade of entwined branches and leaves, revealing the peach bottom embroidered begonia spring sleeping chebula inside; Under the water-colored Luo skirt, lilac-colored palace silk, pendant mutton fat jade ring, under the ring is a pair of colorful flower spikes.

After putting it on, she took the mirror to confirm that it was correct, and before going out, Jin Xun put a dark green crepe shawl on her arm: "It's still cold this morning and evening, so as not to freeze Miss." ”

Hanxia Xiaozhu is in a remote place, although Song Yixiao got up early, but when she went to take the car, Lu Qian'er and Lu Hai'er sisters still arrived first.

"The fourth sister gave you face, but she didn't come when she waited for you left and didn't come to wait for you on the right." As soon as she looked at her, the sixth lady Lu Hai'er sneered at her, "Isn't it the first time you go out together, and you want to give us a dismount?" ”

Lu Ko'er didn't say anything when she heard it, and when Song Yi smiled and lost it, she said lazily: "Come on, get in the car quickly, so as not to be late." ”

"Miss, this is really too deceitful!" After getting in the car, the carriage followed the Lu family sisters out of the door, and Jin Xun said indignantly, "I didn't say a good time, we're already early enough......"

"Whose bowl is in charge of whom?" Song Yi smiled and didn't feel anything, "It is reasonable to eat the Lu family's and drink the Lu family, and listen to a few sour words from the Lu family's daughter." ”

Jin Xun was speechless, and sighed for a while: "It would be good when we have our own home." ”

Song Yixiao didn't speak, but bit her lower lip hard.

The other garden where the lord of Qingjiang County holds a banquet is outside the city - it is said that it is a separate garden, but the "Zhanchun Pavilion" almost encircles a mountain, it is said that it covers an area across two counties, the garden wall is hundreds of miles, the pavilions and pavilions are innumerable, and the luxury is unimaginable.

"This place has been built for more than ten years!" After getting out of the car, Lu Kouer took the lead, Lu Hai'er was one step behind, Song Yixiao was at the end, and the three of them took their entourage and followed the steward who went out to greet them and slowly walked inside.

Seeing Song Yixiao marveling at the scenery and buildings he saw along the way, Lu Hai'er couldn't help but show off his knowledge, "But the one who spent money to build it was not blessed, so it was built, and the first emperor died before he moved in...... It was empty for a few years before it was given to Cousin Dou by His Majesty. ”

Before the words fell, Lu Qian'er turned her head, glared at her fiercely, and whispered: "What are you talking about about those old things?!" As he spoke, he glanced at the steward not far away.

- Who doesn't know that Emperor Xianjia hated the days before he ascended the throne, and although he said that he had the last laugh, he still didn't like to mention the past. Over time, this has become an open tacit understanding among the nobles, and they are all silent on such topics.

was reminded by Sister Yan, Lu Hai'er reacted, she wanted to see Song Yixiao's jokes, and she got carried away, and almost committed a taboo! She was afraid for a while, and shrunk her head and didn't dare to say anything.

"It seems that the old owner of this Zhanchun Pavilion is a favored prince or imperial daughter during the first emperor." Song Yixiao also lowered her head, put on a well-behaved appearance, and smiled secretly in her heart, "This sixth young lady is really a person who can't hide her thoughts!" ”

But the smile quickly became bitter, "Just as Mother Bo told Mother Zhao at the beginning, Lu Hai'er's biological mother is just a concubine, and she has fallen out of favor since her mother entered the door, so she usually doesn't dare to offend me at all." Now it's as if I'm a different person, first sneering before leaving, and then blatantly trying to laugh at me for not being informed...... If she hadn't been sure that our mother and daughter wouldn't have a good life for long, where would she be so bold? ”

Lu Hai'er's change in attitude proves that the matter is more serious than she thought before, and I am afraid that even Wei Mengying is in the calculations of the people behind the scenes.

"With Lu Kou'er and Lu Hai'er's sisters, they don't have this ability, it seems to be the concubine's handiwork." Song Yixiao took a deep breath and clenched her fists in her wide sleeves, "It seems that I still misestimated the concubine - I thought that my mother was soft and could always drag on for a while." Who wants her still can't rest assured! ”

She looked at the beauties in gorgeous clothes who were surrounded on the high platform not far away, "The county lord of Qingjiang has a noble status and the emperor's favor is grand, she shouldn't be guilty of disappointing the fun at the annual Shangsi Festival in order to deal with me." Today's incident, the concubine and the Lu family sisters are probably trying to kill people with a knife......"

"It's just that since I see the problem, how can I kill it obediently?!"

Song Yixiao's flickering gaze flickered back and forth on the Lu family sisters, until she walked under the high platform, she bent her lips and smiled, with a cold smile: "On the grace of six years of support, this time I only protect myself and will not fight back." But if there is a next time......"

"The county lord invites the three of them to come to the stage for a while." The waiter who went up first to say goodbye came down and interrupted her thoughts, "Please go this way!" ”
