Chapter Ninety-Three: A Lifetime and a Couple
The Duchess took the gift box in the hand of the Flower Shadow Charm, and looked at the person in front of her carefully, she had not attended the banquet for a long time, although she heard some rumors, but she did not believe that a person would change so much, she had seen the Flower Shadow Charm before, although she was very beautiful at that time, but she was like a soulless shell, timid and cowardly, where is it as calm and atmospheric as recently.
She dressed plainly and elegantly, with a little powder, but she compared those who were dressed in gorgeous costumes, and the breathtaking beauty she exuded at this time was not because of her appearance, but because of her charm at this time.
But looking at her current behavior, the Duchess believes a little bit of those rumors.
"Thank you, princess." Who doesn't like such a child, it's no wonder that the Queen Mother will dote on her.
The Duchess wanted to get up and say thank you, but was stopped by the Flower Shadow Phantom: "The Duchess doesn't have to be polite. ”
"See the princess." As soon as the flower shadow came up, she spoke to the Duchess of the country, and everyone had not had time to pay their respects, but now she was able to meet after giving the gift.
Flower Shadow Charm smiled and said, "Ladies and ladies don't need to be polite. ”
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhao Yanran, and said casually: "Third aunt, why don't you say anything to me when you come in to meet the Duchess of Guo, if it weren't for my maid who saw you enter the main hall, I would still be looking for you outside." ”
The reason why Zhao Yanran took Hua Yuqing and Hua Ran'er was just deliberately pretending to be seen by others.
If the Flower Shadow Charm hadn't found out that they had arrived in the main hall first, then when they found out, Zhao Yanran might not be able to point out what dirty water had been broken into her body, and she would not be able to tell a hundred mouths by then.
The people present were all smart people, and when they heard Hua Yingmei's words, they suddenly understood, Zhao Yanran's appearance just now was all pretended, and she was like that, although she didn't say anything, but it made people guess about Hua Yingmei's absence, which was really sinister.
Zhao Yanran stood there accepting the disdainful gazes from the ladies, her hands hanging under her sleeves clenched her fists tightly, but she said with a smile on her face: "The concubine didn't find the princess, so I thought that the princess came in alone and didn't notify the princess, it was the concubine's fault." ”
Her mind was also spinning fast enough, and it was reasonable to think of a rhetoric after a while.
"Duchess Guo, I see that this brocade box is very exquisite, I don't know if the contents are just as exquisite." The fourth prince glanced at the gift box placed by the Duchess on the seat and asked with a smile.
He didn't seem to be able to stand the trick below, so he turned his gaze away.
Seeing that the fourth prince said this, the Duchess of Guo would not refuse, she picked up the gift box she sat on and opened the buckle on the gift box.
Lying in the gift box is a jade sculpture of Guanyin with a green body, the clear color and exquisite carving, it is definitely a rare treasure in this world.
"This-" The Duchess loves jade the most, and now when she sees this jade Buddha, she is even more excited and speechless.
When everyone saw the excited appearance of the Duchess of the Kingdom, they were a little curious about what kind of treasure the flower shadow gave away.
The Duchess did not take the jade Buddha out of the box, but displayed it in front of everyone.
"Hiss~" Everyone couldn't help but gasp, such a precious jade Buddha, Princess Chang'an is really wealthy, and she is willing to give it away.
"Princess, this, this is too precious!" Although the Duchess likes it, this jade Buddha is inevitably too precious.
Hua Yingmei smiled and said: "Duchess Guo, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, this jade Buddha was given to me by the imperial grandmother a few days ago, and the imperial grandmother said that she remembered that the Duchess liked jade, and she happened to have one in her hand, so I sent it to you." ”
It's been a long time since the Duchess has been so happy, and she also knows that Hua Yingmei's words can't be trusted, but her words have given her enough face, look, even the Queen Mother still remembers what she likes, what a big face!
The more the Duchess looks at the flowers, the more she likes it, such a smart and atmospheric child is really rare.
Qian Hongyan glanced at the Flower Shadow Charm in surprise, he didn't know that she was so able to speak so well, when she faced herself, why couldn't she say a word?
Qian Yuyang smiled helplessly, when did the imperial grandmother give her this jade Buddha, and I don't know who gave this jade Buddha from him a few days ago.
The Duchess took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, stood up with difficulty on the armrest of the chair, and the eldest daughter-in-law beside her hurriedly got up and helped: "Princess, this is a little bit of my heart, I hope you can accept it, and take me to convey my gratitude to the Queen Mother."
Hua Ying Mei did not refuse, took the jade bracelet in the hand of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and said with a smile: "Mei'er will convey it." ”
Hua Roulan saw that everyone's eyes were on Hua Yingmei's body, and she couldn't help but bite a mouthful of silver teeth, since when was she not the focus of the banquet?
The Duchess took the hand of the Flower Shadow Charm and said a few words, and the eyes of the many ladies present looked at the Flower Shadow Charm a little hot.
Hua Yingmei is not only good-looking now, but even her talent is superior, plus she is classified as a princess of a country, and she is the daughter of the general of Huafu, so many advantages add together, so many advantages make everyone's wives moved, thinking that if she becomes her daughter-in-law, it will not only help her son's career, but also be very face-saving to take out.
After a while, the topic in the main hall has become the question of many ladies, such as: Princess, what kind of man do you think can enter your eyes.
The Duchess did not stop her, and she wanted to hear about it too.
What kind of man? Ouyang Lingyue's figure couldn't help but break into the mind of the Flower Shadow Phantom, and she shook her head slightly, expelling him from her mind.
"A couple for a lifetime."
No matter who the other party is, if she can't do this, she would rather not.
"Hiss~" Her words couldn't help but be a little shocking, in this dynasty where three wives and four concubines are really ordinary, how can a man be willing to give up the entire forest for a tree.
Even if she is a princess, even if there is no concubine in the house, she can't stop the concubine from coming outside.
This kind of heart is inevitably too high!
Zhao Yanran sneered, her thoughts like this were destined to be painful for a lifetime.
Qian Hongyan opened his mouth, he wanted to get the Flower Shadow Charm, but he couldn't be the only one by his side, she was still too innocent, and she had such unrealistic fantasies about love.
The fourth prince glanced at the flower shadow in surprise, and then lowered his eyes.
Qian Yuyang's hand holding the cup tightened slightly, would his mother accept her request?
When Ouyang Lingyue entered the main hall, the words of the flower shadow ghost exploded in his ears, a couple for a lifetime, what she wanted was this?
Ouyang Lingyue couldn't help but clench his fists, with his identity......
The main hall was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, until Ouyang Lingyue's arrival broke the silence.
"The old lady is blessed with longevity and good health." Afterwards, a birthday gift was given.
The Duchess smiled and took the birthday gift in person, Ouyang Lingyue is a generation leader among young people, if her granddaughter can be married to him, then she should pay it back.
The Duchess had already told Gao Min what she was thinking, and Gao Min couldn't help blushing when she saw Ouyang Lingyue now.
Can she really marry someone like that?
Hua Yingmei saw that the Duchess of Guo looked at Ouyang Lingyue as if she was looking at her grandson-in-law, and she felt a burst of irritability in her heart for no reason.
Ouyang Lingyue smiled, as if she didn't see the slightest hint from the Duchess of the Kingdom.
Now that the hour is still early, the Duchess of Guo let a group of young people go to play by herself, and she chatted with many ladies without a match.
A banquet was set up in the back garden of the Patriotic Mansion.
When the four sisters came out, the good position had been snatched up, Liu Shishi took a place for the Flower Shadow Charm, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly waved at her.
Liu Shishi was kind-hearted, but Hua Yingmei didn't want to sit in the crowd, so she declined Liu Shishi's kindness.
Hua Roulan saw that Hua Ying Mei didn't sit, so she walked a few steps and cheekily sat in the position that Liu Shishi occupied for Hua Ying Mei.
Hua Yuqing gritted her teeth, but when she saw Liu Shishi standing up from her position, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly sat down.
Hua Yingmei, Liu Shishi, and Hua Ran'er sat in the corner of the edge.
The pavilion near the lake is very cool here, and the scenery is also good, which is much better than those who wear heavy makeup.
Liu Shishi looked at the flower shadow charm, she felt that she was different from ordinary women, free and casual, and she didn't explain a word after being talked about for so many years, Liu Shishi felt that the reason why she didn't want to explain was because of disdain.
Although the princes were late, everyone had left a place for them, but Ouyang Lingyue did not sit in the place they left, but walked in front of the flower shadow and sat down.
Qian Yuyang was a step late, and he was taken first, so he had to sit next to Ouyang Lingyue.
"The scenery here is really good." In Qian Hongyan's consciousness, he also regarded the Flower Shadow Ghost as his own property, so he naturally did not allow others to snoop on him, he walked here with a smile, made an excuse and sat down.
The six princes are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they naturally sat here, the fifth prince and the fourth prince were helpless, and finally had to sit here, the most partial position suddenly became the best position, which made Hua Roulan and Hua Yuqing, who had grabbed a good seat, can't help but bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
It's not easy to change the position if it's already settled.,The son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites proposed to play poetry solitaire.,It got everyone's response.。
Hua Roulan secretly hated, she knew very well the literary style of Hua Yingmei, and now she was afraid that she was going to be in the limelight again.
Flower Shadow Charm is a little tired of such boring tricks, and in her opinion, if she has the kung fu to chant poetry here, she might as well go back to practice.
She held her cheek in her hand, her mind wandering through space, not noticing at all that after the other party finished speaking, it was her turn next.
Liu Shishi's voice fell, and she turned her head to look at the flower shadow, she didn't know how her writing was, so she deliberately said something good to pick up, and now seeing her for a long time, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
