Chapter 25 Princess Zhenning's Mansion
On April 16, Princess Zhenning's Mansion held a flower-viewing banquet.
As everyone knows, Princess Zhenning loves begonias alone, and there are large areas of Xifu begonias in the princess's mansion, but few people have seen them.
Princess Zhenning is the sister of today's saint, once injured by the rescue, recuperation for many years, only difficult to conceive, deeply trusted and loved by today's saints, the horse from Yunzhou Qufu, is the champion of the last years of the first emperor, and Princess Zhenning married Qin and Jin, resigned to found Xiangshan Academy, this year is more than forty years old, so far there is only one daughter, that is, the lord of Rongchang County Qu Yuexi, from its title can be seen the degree of favor.
But it is rumored that the princess's relationship is not good, Qu Yan is from the Yunzhou family, a scholarly family, a champion background, and has a good future, but he was forced to become a concubine. Although the current saint has abolished the rule that the horse is not allowed to enter the court as an official, he still has not re-entered the path of the scholar, and now because of the royal majesty, he does not dare to take concubines, which leads to the fact that he is about to die. Although the colt vigorously denied it, there was no such thing, but everyone became more and more sympathetic to the colt. Today's banquet and horses are all in the academy, and they haven't returned to the princess's mansion at all.
Today's flower-viewing banquet is held in everyone's heart, and it is nothing more than the marriage of the lord of Rongchang, who is nearly seventeen years old and has not yet decided on a marriage. The princess originally wanted to recruit a son-in-law, but she always didn't find a suitable one, but the older the lord of Rongchang got older, the princess began to get anxious, and whether it was a son-in-law or not, she sent invitations widely, and now how many people yearn for the Begonia Garden can finally get a glimpse of the true face.
Whether it is for this begonia flower, or for the sake of the children or the face of the eldest princess, the banquet in the princess's mansion today must be grand.
Princess Zhenning rarely holds banquets, and today invited many ladies and unmarried young ladies and young ladies to the princess, and for a while, the carriage outside the princess's mansion lined up in a long line.
"Mother, don't you usually attend these parties, why are you here today?" The little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, sitting in the carriage, waiting in a long line, did not show a trace of eagerness or impatience, but she was young but had a dignified posture.
"My daughter is so good, she always has to be brought out for people to see, and she can't be underestimated because of her mother's bad reputation." Mrs. Cao looked at the dignified and beautiful daughter in front of her, she was very pleased, and she inevitably blamed herself, always feeling that she had delayed her children.
Over the years, because she is the daughter of a merchant, she has been looked down upon by the ladies of various families, and she used to want to integrate into the circle of these nobles, and dress herself magnificently, but caused a lot of jokes, but fortunately she did not associate with others, although the child's aunt is the queen, but there is nothing to do, the husband as a royal doctor, is an official position that offends people, and she does not need to interact with others, but seeing that her daughter has reached the age where she can be married, and her sons are also older, they don't go out and walk around, and no one cares about it when the time comes.
When Mrs. Cao took her daughter in, many people had already come, and the appearance of the mother and daughter attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Cao and was a little surprised for a while, the garnet red long skirt, embroidered with large black black chrysanthemums, the waistline is high, the skirt is very drape, the neckline is slightly lower, the neck is with dark blue gems, and the wide cloud sleeves swing casually.
Everyone didn't recognize it for a while.
The curious person asked, "Whose lady is this?" β
Naturally, he recognized it, so he opened his mouth and replied: "Mrs. Cao's family, Mrs. Cao." β
"Hey, it's not like she's been at a banquet for a long time, why does she look like a different person today!"
"She's dressed up pretty well today!"
"yes, that dress looks so good!"
"The little girl next to me looks very delicate!"
"Pretty good!"
β¦β¦
Mrs. Cao listened to everyone's whispers, and when she saw that there were no bad words, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a familiar lady came over to say hello: "Mrs. Cao, haven't seen you for a long time?" β
"Yes, Mrs. Cao, I didn't recognize it when I looked at it!"
β¦β¦
Mrs. Cao greeted the crowd, and her daughter was taken to play with the young ladies.
When the ladies drink tea and chat together, they are naturally inseparable from clothes and jewelry, family trivialities, and children's marriages......
The young ladies of the children are in groups to enjoy the flowers and play some small games.
Wen Fei, Wei Jiyan, and Liu Yunkai, the fiancΓ©s of powerful families, naturally came, but they didn't have anything to do with each other.
Wei Jiyan and Wen Qian knew each other, but they could only say that they knew Wen Fei, so they simply said hello, and they chatted with people they knew well.
Today's Liu Yunkai looks like Zhilan Yushu, handsome and dusty, looking at the face of Huai Guogong, naturally people come up to get close to him, but he lacks interest.
When he saw Xun Zhi coming over with the cat, his eyes lit up, and with the image of a humble son, he took the initiative to walk over and say hello: "I didn't expect Young Master Xun to come over today?" β
"Can't I come?" Xun Zhi asked.
"Princess Zhenning also invited you?" Liu Yunkai is still a little curious, you must know that over the years, some people's gatherings, many people have deliberately missed the Xun Mansion.
Xun Zhi didn't speak, just looked at Liu Yunkai like a fool, and the meaning was obvious: If you don't invite me, won't I be invited.
Liu Yunkai didn't care, and leaned in and whispered, "Don't you know that today is the choice of a son-in-law for the lord of Rongchang County?" β
"What's the matter with me, I'm here to see the flowers." After speaking, he ignored Liu Yunkai, directly staggered, and walked straight to the Begonia Garden.
Xun Zhi's appearance naturally caused a commotion. Dressed in a dark blue robe, the hem and cuffs are embroidered with large red Bodhi flowers, delicate facial features, pure eyes, not stained with dust, with a look without temperature, and the cat in his arms, he looks like a holy son who walked out of the netherworld, dark, holy, and lazy......
Beauty is beautiful, but no one wants to pick it.
There are very few people who are willing to deal with Xun Mansion now, although it has been better over the years, but few people who are willing to make friends can stand Xun Zhi's temperament, he is a well-known delicate son in the capital, although he doesn't see where it is, but Jiao is beyond doubt.
And Liu Yunkai's friendship with Xun Zhi also attracted a lot of criticism.
"You said that this Liu Yunkai is also interesting, every time he looks like he is tall in front of us, but he is in a hurry to get close to the Xun family, I really don't know what he thinks?"
"Who doesn't know that he is a transparent person in the eyes of Huai Guogong, if it weren't for the face of the Guogong Mansion, who would be willing to take care of him and put on a score in front of us, he would also deserve it!"
"Silly, who do you say is still close to Xunfu now......"
"By the way, why hasn't everyone dealt with Xunfu all these years?" Those who are curious cannot help but wonder.
"It's not because it's not because ......" Of course, there are those who know the truth or who have heard the so-called truth.
"As far as you know, you can say anything!" Someone stopped it right away.
The person who accidentally came out of his mouth just now secretly touched a handful of sweat! Cast a grateful look at the person who stopped it.
Xun Zhi walked in the garden at will, a patch of begonia flowers, red and bright hanging on the branches, looking at the rouge from a distance, bright as a bright glow.
Wan Hong has a touch of azure from it, and there is some beauty of independence in the world.
The girls, seeing this picture, were so bold that they were confused by the beauty, and they couldn't help but come up.
Seeing the person from three zhang away, Xun couldn't help frowning, only to hear a light voice coming, and the tone did not fluctuate, as if it was a simple fact: "Don't get too close to me, I have to smell the smell!" β
Even a girl who is bold is embarrassed by his words. turned around and ran away, causing a joke.
For a while, Xunzhi occupied the best scenery, and no one came to disturb it, but it was very quiet.
