The lotus pond pavilion in the afternoon, located at the angle that the sun does not shine in the distant sky, and the scorching heat is separated by a pond of dark waves and pavilion green leaves, hidden in the shade under the bamboo, the beauty couch, the girl in the light scarlet skirt is taking a nap, in the sound of cicadas, the breath is quiet, Xia Ke sits on the brocade pier in front of the couch, a beauty fan in his hand, gently shakes from time to time, drives away mosquitoes and flies, a carved incense tripod on the side of the couch, three pillars of slender sweet dream fragrance, has only a short inch.

Two red-tailed dragonflies, frolicking from the lotus pond, flew into the water pavilion, landed on a purple kite, seemed to peep curiously at the girl who was resting on the couch, and suddenly was startled by a slight step, flying over the lotus pond one after another, still frolicking far away under the golden sun.

Qiu Yue saw that Yijing hadn't woken up from a nap, so she put her pace softer, patted Xia Ke, who was engrossed, and the two quietly walked away a few steps.

"A few ladies from Jianning Houfu are here, and the eldest mother, third mother, and sixth mother come to talk to Wu Niang, this time is in the tea hall, should you wake up Wu Niang?" Qiu Yue bit Xia Ke's ear and consulted with her.

"Wu Niang talked to Banniang for half a night yesterday, and slept late, and today's nap is heavier than usual...... If this time awakens, I am afraid that my spirit will also be poor. Xia Ke was a little hesitant.

At this time, it has entered August, and the hot weather has eased a little, but in the past few days, several groups of visitors, the little ladies have to entertain guests, naturally there is no leisure for napping, and finally I am free today, but I don't want to Jianning Houfu to come again.

Although the two maids spoke very lowly, Yijing was still disturbed by her dreams, her eyebrows jumped a few times, her soft long eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes in a daze, a pair of slightly hazy and damp black eyes, and there were still seven or eight points of lazy emptiness, staring at the water for a while, only then did she sober up a little more, yawned, rubbed the corners of her eyes that were still sleepy, and then sat up.

Qiu Yue and Xia Ke met, and hurriedly stepped forward, one wrung a wet towel to clean Yijing's face, and the other picked up a jade comb to straighten Yijing's hair and sideburns, and Qiuyue whispered about the visit of the ladies of Jianning Houfu: "I was hesitating whether to wake up Wu Niang, and you opened your eyes by yourself." ”

Yijing was helpless, and for a few days, the female dependents of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangshu Mansion, and Confucius Mansion came one after another, all of them secretly and inquired about their grandmother's attitude towards the three princes, and they couldn't imagine that their grandfather's family couldn't hold their breath.

Before turning the door of the main hall, Yijing heard Huang Liuniang's crisp and pleasant voice, full of envy: "Sister Chen, don't be humble, now the streets are known outside, and His Royal Highness has always been in love with his sister, and because of a moment of curiosity, he went to Qianrao Pavilion to make a disturbance, and he was guilty of asking for it...... A few days earlier, at the poetry tea party of the scribes, the three highnesses also greeted their sister with a fu, that sentence 'the heart is like Chanjuan long and bright, only according to the good day cold jade steps', now has been passed on by many Langjun word of mouth, the admiration of the three royal highnesses of the capital to Sister Chen is touching, I don't know how many women, are full of envy, now, the three princes bear the guilt of Jing, in order to give the story of love, but the most interesting story in Jinyang Beijing. ”

As soon as Yijing entered the tea hall, he saw Yichen at first glance with a full face of Xia Fei, sitting with his eyes down, and looking self-conscious, and couldn't help but sigh sullenly.

When Huang Jiangyue saw the beautiful scene, she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward: "I heard that Ah Jing is taking a nap, as soon as we come, it disturbs your tranquility." ”

Yijing greeted the cousins, sat down with Yichen, glanced at Huang Liuniang with shining eyes, and smiled lightly: "Sixth cousin, others don't know the temperament of the eldest sister, but you should be clear, why bother to use these gossips to shame people." ”

Huang Wuniang originally heard about the turmoil in Qianrao Pavilion, and there was still some schadenfreude, but she thought that although the saint intended to make Yichen the third princess, the three princes were not satisfied, otherwise they would not go to the brothel to find fun, and then I heard my mother talk about it, I was afraid that this turmoil would be together, the eldest princess would not accept this family business, and her heart was full of infinite expectations, in her eyes, the three princes were naturally much more handsome than the four princes, although the city was full of turmoil because of the affairs of Qianrao Pavilion, but it was nothing, just a prostitute, but a plaything, Why bother too much.

If the eldest princess refuses this family business, she may not have no hope of becoming the third princess.

But just a few days, I heard about the three princes' guilt, followed by the poetry house tea party, the three princes expressed their admiration for Yichen in public, and even compared his heart to the moonlight in front of the steps, only hoping that when the beauty was lonely, she could comfort so silently, Huang Wuniang was envious and jealous, and naturally hoped that the eldest princess could unswervingly refuse this family affair and leave her a glimmer of opportunity.

couldn't help but ask: "Thinking that the Third Highness is so sincere, Ah Chen will no longer care about those rumors, and the eldest princess will also forgive the Third Highness for being confused for a while." ”

Sanniang actually felt very bad in her heart, and after hearing this, she said very complicatedly: "To put it simply, His Royal Highness is just a moment of curiosity, so he went to Qianrao Pavilion for a visit, and it was the recklessness of the son of the general judgment mansion that caused such a big turmoil, but it was just a misunderstanding, grandmother she ......"

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or something else, naturally my grandmother and parents are in charge of this matter for the eldest sister, and we juniors can't follow the crowd." Yijing interrupted Sanniang's words, and glanced at Huang Wuniang, who was quite unwilling: "The fifth cousin and the sixth cousin finally came this time, why don't talk about these gossips, let's play leaf cards, I lost to you for hundreds of dollars last time, and I will definitely win it back today." ”

Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Yijing.

These days, although she has not come out of the door, but several groups of noble women have come to visit, all of them have made fun of this matter, and the twists and turns of temptation, until she is tormented every day, ashamed, worried, not quiet, and also has a long talk with her father, the implication is that she still hopes that she and the third prince will make a marriage, the father is very embarrassed, even the mother, when it comes to this matter, is also worried.

Yichen was already filial, and thinking of his marriage caused a lot of discussions, which made the elders embarrassed, and he was even more anxious, almost soft-hearted, and accepted this family business.

Fortunately, there is still a beautiful scene that has been beside her to turn around for her, so as not to be more embarrassed.

Yijing has been persuading Yichen bitterly: "The behavior of the Third Highness is nothing more than to force my sister to compromise, it is really hateful, if he really plans for his sister and has a heart of repentance, he should not put his sister on the cusp of the storm and become the talk of others, it can be seen that His Royal Highness is by no means a good person, marriage is a matter of lifelong happiness, and my sister can't be confused." ”

Yichen felt more and more that the third prince had ill intentions, so he naturally avoided him.

Huang Wuniang was prevaricated by Yijing San's words, although she was unwilling, she couldn't chase after her anymore, and Sanniang didn't want her eldest sister to become the third princess from the bottom of her heart, and she also hoped that the three princes would hurt their reputation after this turmoil, and the famous families were unwilling to let their daughters marry the prince who was a flower and a brothel looking for fun.

After all, the Holy Lord and the Guogong Mansion must be married, and the queen is even more reluctant to give up the in-laws of the Weiguo Mansion, and the elders feel sorry for their concubines, and maybe, they will let the concubines replace them.

For the first time, Sanniang felt that the identity of the concubine was not so regrettable.

Therefore, for the first time, he did not oppose Yijing, but agreed very much with the proposal to play the leaf card, and rubbed his fists.

So, Huang Liuniang provoked the topic, and it ended in the battle of Ye Zipai.

Sanniang didn't expect that even though the three princes were famous, those ladies who were fascinated by him did not feel sad because of this, such as Huang Wuniang, who didn't think that the three princes were a big deal to have fun. As long as there is moderation, so as not to stay in the house night and night, or to ransom prostitutes back to the house, it is nothing but the unruly romance of youth.

And the major nobles, like the left and right prime ministers, will not regard the three princes as flood beasts because of this, and they can't avoid them.

Compared with the four princes, firstly, the third prince is more loved by the saint and the queen, and secondly, there is the support of the Xiliang royal family behind him, and the third princess is undoubtedly more prominent than the fourth princess, and she is still the sweet and sweet in the eyes of the nobles, and she must strive for it.

Sanniang's glimmer of hope is undoubtedly just her wishful thinking.

But said that Huang Wuniang, although she did not inquire about the attitude of the eldest princess as she wished, but from the looks and words of Yichen and Yijing, she also felt a little unusual taste, guessing that the Weiguo Mansion should have a rejection attitude towards this family business, and she couldn't hold back her excitement, and she didn't have the mood to play cards, so she gave up her position to Huang Jiangyue, and only pretended to watch the battle on the side, but silently thought about her own thoughts.

She has ambitions for the three princes, but she only thinks that among the princes, whether they are noble or talented and demeanor, the three princes are second to none, although because of their handsomeness, it is inevitable that they will attract those beauties, and it is inevitable to compete for favor in the future, but Huang Wuniang is very confident in herself.

She was born more beautiful than Yichen, and the four arts are only better than her, thinking that with her talent and appearance, as long as she can become the third princess, she will definitely win the favor of her husband.

Zhuo's Erniang is not as good as herself, and she is not afraid, only the daughters of the two prime ministers are the fierce opponents.

At present, although his father is not as respected by the royal family as his grandfather back then, he is still Jianning Hou, and he has the in-laws of the Weiguo Mansion, so he may not have no chance of winning.

The more Huang Wuniang thought about it, the more excited she became, and for some reason, she looked forward to God flying.

Seeing the beautiful scenery in his eyes, his expression was as usual.

After all, the three princes are a little more attentive, but they are not as ridiculous as spoiling their concubines and killing their wives, in their previous life, the eldest sister was depressed because of her temperament, and she was not good at intriguing with those scheming concubines and beautiful maids, and she suffered a lot of secret losses, but the status of the three princesses was not threatened in the slightest.

Although the third prince is not a good match for the eldest sister, it may not be a good match for others.

Whose honey is arsenic, it is difficult to determine.

Besides, looking at Huang Wuniang's attitude, it is obvious that she is allied with the three princes, and Yijing is really powerless.

I can only wish her good luck, and don't repeat the mistakes of the eldest sister in the future, depressed and sick, and waste the peach and plum years.

At this time, naturally no one thought that when the candidates for the three princesses were decided, what followed was a bloody conspiracy, so that a girl like a flower and jade died unjustly and died of youth.
