Chapter 6 The distinguished guests of the Mansion, the eldest princess of Chaoyang
The eldest princess of Chaoyang is not the daughter of Jinshang, but the daughter of the queen mother's concubine. During the time of the first emperor, the queen mother only gave birth to the eldest princess of Chaoyang and the king of Qidong. In order to pave the way for her younger brother, the eldest princess of Chaoyang invited herself to kiss.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and King Qidong died early. The Queen Mother has nothing to do after ten years, so she can only lift the bereaved mother to her knees. After that, the first emperor died and now ascended the throne.
A few years ago, the eldest princess was newly widowed, and the first emperor took pity on the queen mother and had no one under her knees, so he took the eldest princess back.
Therefore, the eldest princess of Chaoyang is a very special existence. When it comes to status, she is more noble than the little princesses under her knees. But when it comes to intimacy, this is worth scrutinizing.
It's just that the eldest princess herself is clear, and she never cares about political affairs after returning to the court, but she likes to hold some banquets, and invites the daughters of the family to bring their young children to attend together.
Although the eldest princess has no intention of pulling the red line, the man who can attend the banquet she hosts will not have a bad family background.
Above the lake pavilion, the girls in brocade clothes and hairpins were sitting around a clear white marble table and whispering.
The two sisters Su Zhaoning arrived late. They had only just reached the corridor connecting the lake pavilion when they looked at it.
It's just that Su Roujia, who has the most weight, was taken to the eldest princess by Mrs. Chang'an Hou, and Su Zhaoning and the two are a little insufficient.
But new faces are always a bit of an eye-catcher. What's more, it's a particularly beautiful new face.
"Zhaoning is here, and the sister next to me has never seen it."
Normally, on this occasion, the first person to ask questions will only be a girl with an average family background. It's just that today there was some surprise.
A girl dressed in pink held a hand warmer with a jade rabbit moon guard pattern in her hand and sat in the center of the girls.
Su Zhaoning knew that Su Zhenyi's appearance was eye-catching, but he didn't know that he would be so eye-catching. The first time he attended the banquet, he attracted the attention of the county lord of An Yi.
She leaned sideways, let Su Zhenyi in front of the people, and first replied to the words of the county lord An Yi: "This is my third sister, who was raised in front of the Buddha because of her weak body. It's just picked up here. ”
The third girl and the second young master of the Su family are dragon and phoenix twins, and they were raised in front of the Buddha in the past because of their weak bodies. When he was fifteen years old, he was taken back to Beijing.
Of course, these are all external pretexts.
In fact, if the family background is better, and the father and brother have real power, they don't know that the three girls and the second young master of Su Mansion were born outside the Marquis of Chang'an. It's just that the heirs of the Marquis of Chang'an are thin, and the atmosphere of this dynasty is not as rigid and strict as that of the previous dynasty, so he was able to enter the ancestral hall and be recorded as a concubine.
The girls actually had some speculation about Su Zhenyi's identity, and now that it was confirmed, their eyes swept towards her with some unscrupulousness.
The county lord of An Yi who was questioned at first was the daughter of the king of Beijun, the younger brother of the present, and although his status was inferior to that of the princess, he was already a valuable identity in this group of petites.
Su Zhaoning introduced to Su Zhenyi: "This is the county lord of Anyi. ”
Seeing Su Zhenyi's innocent and ignorant appearance in front of Mrs. Hou, Su Zhaoning was really afraid that Su Zhenyi would still be ignorant to the end, and regarded etiquette as nothing.
I saw Su Zhenyi, who was behind her, step forward, folded her hands and made a blessing, and said to the county lord of An Yi: "See the county lord of An Yi." ”
There was no mistake in this behavior for the time being, which made Su Zhaoning breathe a sigh of relief.
In the house, you can make any trouble. When they got outside, the girls in Su Mansion were all the same Su characters.
The county lord of An Yi completely accepted Su Zhenyi's gift, and examined the other party from top to bottom several times before she said: "In the future, we will all be sisters and sisters who want to play together often, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
"Come, sit down next to me and taste my freshly brewed plum blossom tea." There was no vacancy next to Lord An Yi, but before she said this, the person next to her stood up in amusement.
Su Zhenyi didn't flinch, blinked her big eyes twice, and sat down with a smile.
She said very warmly to the county lord of Anyi: "I am very close to the county lord, and I also have a Yi character in my name." ”
Su Zhaoning, whose heart finally fell, lifted his heart again. Since she entered the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she has been staring at Su Zhenyi all the time. is not only afraid that the other party will have any trouble, but also wary of what disaster he is involved in.
Mrs. Hou's Da Huang chose to take the two of them to the banquet, and Su Zhaoning would never think it was a kind gesture.
Su Zhenyi couldn't see herself clearly, and when she said such words that didn't know the height of the sky, the girls next to her all looked at her with ridicule.
The main lord An Yi only replied lightly: "The lord of this county is a title." ”
Su Zhenyi still didn't flinch, took the initiative to look at the tea on the table, and praised: "Smelling this fragrant fragrance, you know that the county lord is making good tea." ”
What a country bun!
The sneer on the faces of the girls intensified.
Su Zhaoning secretly held his forehead behind. The county lord of An Yi has already said that she makes plum blossom tea, although the plum blossoms are beautiful, the fragrance is extremely light. The lid of the cup is tightly covered, where does the fragrant fragrance come from?
The county lord of An Yi looked at Su Zhenyi in front of him again. But the vigilance in my heart is far less than before.
Beauty is not wise, how can she get into that person's eyes?
She pointed to a cup of tea and said, "You try this tea." ”
Su Zhenyi turned her head, beckoned to Su Zhaoning with a happy face, and called: "How rare is the reward of the county lord, second sister quickly taste it with me." ”
Su Zhaoning stepped forward hard.
A thrust behind him that was neither light nor heavy made Su Zhaoning pounce on Su Zhenyi unsteadily. Su Zhenyi's body was crooked, although she didn't hurt the county lord An Yi next to her, but the cup of tea in her hand had already been spilled.
The county lord of An Yi looked at Su Zhenyi, whose skirt was full of water marks, and said regretfully: "It's a pity. Sister, let's go change with my maid. ”
"Second sister, go with me, your clothes are also wet." Su Zhenyi took Su Zhaoning's hand with a look of concern.
Su Zhaoning broke free, but he didn't break free. She didn't think that Su Zhenyi was just showing favor by dragging herself on today, but if Su Zhenyi caused trouble in the eldest princess's mansion, she might not be able to end up.
After hesitation, the opportunity to refuse was missed.
The county lord of An Yi had already instructed the maid to lead the two sisters Su Zhaoning to change their clothes together.
The two of them followed behind the maid of the palace, through the moon cave gate, and through the corridor.
Along the way, Su Zhenyi chattered, holding the maid and talking non-stop.
"This eldest princess's mansion is really magnificent. This sister, the county lord of An Yi is the county lord, so is she the daughter of the eldest princess? ”
"A slave and maid cannot afford to be called a girl. The slave and maid are just subordinates, please come with me. ”
"Sister maid, then I'll call you like this......"
Su Zhaoning looked ahead in the noise, only to see occasional flashes of light among the lush evergreen trees, and he didn't know if it was a lake or a ......
Su Zhenyi's voice came from the front: "Sister maid, the light on the leaves is shining, is the lake over there bigger than here?" ”
Although the maids around the county lord have been taught by the old lady, they are more stable and polite than the maids around the ordinary family lady. But touting is the easiest to get people carried away, and the maid was shouted by Su Zhenyi's maid sister one by one, and her heart became proud.
The girls who came to the Chaoyang Eldest Princess's Mansion for the banquet were all the daughters of the courtiers of the family, but this one behind her was really a fool.
Such a self-deprecating identity, huh......
This smugness, the vigilance in the maid's heart was relaxed, and she blurted out her disdainful words: "The lake has a lake, but how can the lake light be reflected on the branches so easily." That's a sword light, and there's ...... over there."
The maid reacted and quickly shut her mouth.
"What is it, Sister Maiden?" Su Zhenyi looked over there curiously.
The maid had woken up and refused to reveal half a sentence. She quickened her pace and led Su Zhenyi and Su Zhaoning to the side room.
The cabinet in the side room was opened, and the silk and satin inside made Su Zhaoning, who was used to seeing Su Roujia's gorgeous clothes, a little dazzling.
She went to see Su Zhenyi for the first time.
Sure enough, Su Zhenyi couldn't hold it anymore, and had already stepped forward to stroke it.
"Sister maid, I've never seen such beautiful clothes......"
These words are really a shame for the face of the Marquis of Chang'an!
Su Zhaoning's face was hot, and he could only explain on the side: "My third sister used to be raised in front of the Buddha, and all worldly things can't be brought over......
"Of course." The maid already has an irreversible impression of the three girls in the Chang'an Hou Mansion, but on the surface, she still saves a little face for the Chang'an Hou Mansion. She echoed Su Zhaoning's words, "Before the Buddha, you must have a pure heart and few desires. ”
"Besides, these clothes belong to our county lord. Even if it's a girl in Kyosato, it's normal that you haven't seen it. ”
Su Zhaoning immediately said vigilantly: "How dare we use the county lord's things in vain, just give us two sets of ordinary clothes." ”
The maid looked at Su Zhenyi, who couldn't put down the clothes, and said, "Since the county lord ordered the slave maid to bring the two girls over, it is naturally because these clothes are not of grade. Although the style is chic, you can also wear it, girl. ”
Without waiting for Su Zhaoning to speak again, Su Zhenyi said to the maid: "Then please ask the maid sister to pick one for me." ”
"The slave doesn't dare to make decisions for you, girl. But girl, your skin is like congealed cream, if you wear this red pleated skirt, you will definitely be even more skinny. The maid stepped forward and took out a bright red skirt and shook it away, and the delicate epiphany embroidery on it made people unable to take their eyes off it.
For this is the reckoning of the day.
Su Zhenyi was brought from outside Beijing, and she didn't know about the taboo of this epiphany, but Su Zhaoning knew it.
The eldest princess was married that day, although it was a voluntary move, but she always felt a little sad about leaving her hometown and marrying Fanbang. What's even more uncomfortable is that she worked hard and sacrificed nearly 20 years of good years, but because of the early death of King Qidong, everything was in vain.
Therefore, the red dress embroidered with epiphany worn worn by the eldest princess on the day of her wedding became her taboo.
The once-favorite epiphany now seems to be just an awakening to the sufferings of the past. A widowed princess can remarry, but a princess who lives with a relative widow cannot remarry, and the big red color is naturally disliked by the eldest princess.
This bright red epiphany pleated skirt, worn out, is something that always pleases the eldest princess's heart.
The ginger is still old and spicy. Aunt Da Huang's move will not really implicate the reputation of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion. After all, this kind of taboo is only well known, and it cannot be mentioned. But Su Zhenyi, who disliked the eldest princess, wanted to come out again, and I am afraid that it would be impossible to marry a good family.
