Zheng Lijun leaned lazily on the embroidery pier, a little listless. She only combed a simple double hairstyle on her head, a few half-inch size gemstone beads embellished among them, looming, wearing a begonia red engraved silk satin beaded jacket, royal blue pleated woven gold skirt, waist tied with gold silk inlaid treasure sachet, delicate and dignified, luxurious and refreshing, light makeup, set off her beauty just right.

However, she never seemed to be able to keep her spirits up.

She took a letter from the small cabinet on the side of the carriage, opened it again, glanced at it, and threw it away.

It was a letter sent to her by her friend Gu Wenhui overnight, asking her for help. The letter did not explain the reason why the Gu family did not allow her to go to the Luwangfu tea party, but Wen Hui had been her friend for many years after all, and she couldn't ignore it, so she had to come over. What's the big deal about going to a tea party? The Gu family's approach is really strange. Maybe...... Did Wen Hui do something to annoy the elders in the family, so they ordered the grounding?

That's it, with the strength of Mrs. Gu's daughter, let Wen Hui accompany her for a few days to be careful afterwards, and the matter will naturally pass. At today's tea party, she is bored to stay alone, if someone hears the wind and gossips about her, won't it make people angry? With Wen Hui by her side, at least one companion.

Thinking of the reason that caused her to be in a bad mood, Zheng Lijun's face sank again, and her eyes glanced at the burning incense burner on the side, but it was given by the third prince the year before last. For so many years, she has always believed that she and the third prince are destined husband and wife, and she doesn't know how much effort she has put into it, but it is not good news that the concubine in the palace brought her yesterday......

Why are the people of the Gu family so slow?

Just when Zheng Lijun began to get impatient, she finally heard footsteps.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from a distance, and the mother-in-law exclaimed: "Miss Six, you can't go out", "Miss Six, Miss Six", "Report to the old lady and Mrs. quickly" There was a lot of noise. Zheng Lijun couldn't help but be surprised, and ordered someone to open the curtain of the car: "Is Wen Hui here?" ”

The red shadow flashed, Wen Hui rushed to the car with a surprised face, and said with tears: "Lijun Lijun, you are here, you saved me, I will remember your affection for the rest of my life"

Zheng Lijun listened to it funny: "Where did it come to this?" Glimpsing Wen Hui wearing a silver mouse jacket embroidered with red plum blossoms, a red horse-faced skirt, and a plum blossom hairpin made of red agate and pearls on her head, her expression sank slightly.

I wear begonia red, if I ask Wen Hui to wear red, who is the main and who is the deputy? Isn't this a mess? If anyone knows the meaning of the palace, they will laugh at her more and more

Wen Hui didn't notice Lijun's expression, she just cried with joy, with the guarantee of her friends, she was finally able to go out smoothly today...... It's not enough to just go out, she still has to ask her friends to do her another favor As long as it is done today, she will no longer have to worry about the elders in the family forcing her to marry Liu Dongning Thinking of this, she looked at Lijun with urgency in her eyes.

Lijun sensed her urgency, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, so she asked, "What trouble did you do?" You are not allowed to go out of your house? But what did you say wrong? Isn't it over if you pay a loss? ”

Wen Hui's eyes turned red: "How can it be so simple?" You don't know, my grandmother, and my father and mother all forced me to marry, and even the girl next to me refused to help me, so it was easy for me to find someone to deliver a letter to you for me. Now that I'm at home, I'm alone, I can't rely on anyone, I can only ask you for help."

Lijun couldn't believe it: "How can this happen?" Who are they going to force you to marry? She remembered that although Wen Hui's marriage had not yet been decided, the two parties had already tacitly agreed to it.

"Who else?" Wen Hui pouted, "It's Liu Dongning"

Lijun was even more curious: "What's wrong with him?" Didn't you already say that you would get married? Before, you were so good that you were so good that he was obedient to you, but he didn't pluck the moon from the sky for you. What do you not want to do? "Liu Dongning's family background, appearance, talent, character, and temperament are all bad, and he and Wen Hui's childhood sweetheart, it is a miracle that he has not married Wen Hui to this day, but Liu Dongning's love for Wen Hui remains the same, why does Wen Hui refuse to marry him?

Suddenly, a hint of vigilance arose in her heart. Now is the time for the Queen Mother to choose a wife for the prince and grandson, Wen Hui ...... Could it be that he also gave birth to the idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix?

When Wen Hui thought of this, she felt aggrieved: "Don't mention it, I was really blind before, and I only thought he was a good one, but I didn't expect that when he encountered serious things, it didn't work at all except crying, he only knew that he couldn't do anything nonsense, it was just an embroidered pillow, and he didn't have any manhood." He also framed Xiao Qi, so I don't want to marry such a person."

Lijun's impression of Liu Dongning is that he is an elegant gentleman and a beautiful talent, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this. However, Wen Hui's marriage had nothing to do with her, she only casually responded with a "yes", so she didn't persuade much, but said: "It's not a way for you to do this, if you really want to avoid this family business, you should tell the elders in the family." Didn't you say that he framed Xiao Qi? Your family doesn't mind? In any case, business matters, what are you going to do at the tea party? If you call me, I can't help much. I'm just your best friend, but not your elder, your marriage is a big deal, where can I get involved? ”

"Yes, yes," Wen Hui hurriedly said, "I was asking you" She hesitated for a moment and decided to let it go, "You can help me say a good word in front of the concubine Niangniang, as long as the concubine Niangniang is willing to open the golden mouth, what can't be done?" You should help me and give me a good marriage for the sake of us growing up together, and for the sake of our friendship for many years."

Lijun was stunned, and her expression was faint: "What kind of marriage is it, asking to go to the concubine Niangniang?" Could it be that you also have a crush on which heavenly nobleman? ”

Wen Hui sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly felt shocked, and hurriedly said, "Who can be more expensive than the one in your family?" I don't dare to climb high, but ......," she squirmed a little, "let's do this way, if we can be together for a long time in the future, we can be a couple...... Good concubine, isn't it a good story? ”

Lijun was stunned, and quickly recalled the age of several princes and the situation of their wives and concubines, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I see, what else should I do, don't worry, if it's this, it's just a trivial matter" Those few princes who failed to win the heir are no longer in the climate, but they have to prevent them from coming back, if you can point them to a reliable wife, it will be more safe. She smiled and asked, "Since you have this idea, it can be seen that you have taken a fancy to someone, tell me which one?" The Four Princes? The Six Princes? "These two looks are passable, as for the second prince King Zheng, he has already married a wife and had children, so he is naturally not among the candidates.

Wen Hui's face was a little red, but her heart was happy, in order to repay her friend's friendship, she decided to reveal a little tone first: "On the way, I'll tell you one thing first." She leaned closer to Lijun and lowered her voice, "Aren't you worried about that Du Yuanru?" I have a way to make her unable to be the crown princess."

When Lijun heard this, she hurriedly grabbed her wrist: "What did you say?" ”

"Oops, you scratched me" Wen Hui was in pain, "You let go"

Lijun hurriedly let go of her hand and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." You...... Tell me what the hell is going on? ”

Wen Hui stroked her wrist, feeling aggrieved for a while, but she decided to forgive Lijun, after all, the business was important, and she still had to ask the other party: "It's not difficult to say, she will definitely go to the Wangfu tea party today." Let's think of a way to buy off the girl in the palace and tell her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone, and see if she still has the face to put on the shelf of the mother of the country."

When Lijun heard that it was such an understatement, she almost turned her face, but recently she practiced the rules of the palace and learned some qi cultivation kung fu before she endured it: "What is this?" It doesn't hurt or itch. ”

Wen Hui said with a smile: "You can't say that, if she wants to be the crown princess, she should naturally be dignified and virtuous, with thousands of manners, and there can be no gaffes at all." If there is a deficiency in the demeanor, it will be compared to others. If you behave better, the Queen Mother and the Queen will think that you are better than her, and then there will be a concubine from the side to talk about the item, why worry about the big thing? ”

Lijun sighed in her heart, if it was two days earlier, this plan might really work, but unfortunately it is ...... now

Her heart suddenly moved, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and there was surprise in her eyes when she looked at Wen Hui: "You're right...... Let's just make her ugly in front of everyone......"

A few people ran out of the gate of Shilang's Mansion, one of them was the housekeeper of the Gu family, and he said cautiously in front of the car: "Sixth Miss, the old lady let you in, and said that she has something to tell you." ”

Wen Hui's hand shook and was about to refuse, but Lijun said, "You go, change your clothes by the way." With me here, your family won't stop you. ”

"Clothes?" Wen Hui was stunned, but then she noticed the dress on Lijun's body, and she understood in her heart, but she was inevitably a little aggrieved, "This is a new one I specially made for the tea party, because the Lu Wangfu rewarded the red plum, and I also asked someone to embroider plum blossoms on the clothes." ”

"That's why I want you to change it" Lijun said with a smile, "The reward is not only the red plum, you wear the big red, it is already a color, and then embroider the plum blossom, is it for someone to appreciate the plum, or to reward you?" Go for it."

Wen Hui reluctantly, she just remembered that she still had a request for Yu Lijun, and as long as the other party was willing to say something for herself in front of the concubine, even if the clothes she wore were inconspicuous, even if Zhu Jingcheng couldn't notice herself in the crowd, it didn't matter.

She obediently went back to the house, but she was afraid of her grandmother's reprimand, so she went back to the room to change her clothes first. There are a lot of new clothes made this time, and she thought about avoiding the contrast with Lijun's clothes, so she changed into a lake-colored satin sheepskin jacket with a bucket of beads, an apricot embroidered horse-faced skirt, and a newly beaten butterfly flower bead crown on her head, no matter how fresh it is, it will never take away Lijun's style

got out of the courtyard gate, but she couldn't go any further. Mrs. Yu took the Jiang family and stood in the open space in front of the door waiting for her.

Wen Hui bit her lip and saluted: "Grandmother, mother, Wen Hui is not filial......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Yu: "I don't need to say more nonsense, let me ask you, are you determined to go against our will?" Jiang Shi's face turned pale when he heard this, and he burst into tears: "Hui'er, how can you be so confused? What's so bad about Dongning? If you know the root cause, your aunt loves you again, can't you listen to your mother? ”

Wen Huibian flattened her mouth: "Then why can't the mother listen to her daughter?" Clearly...... ...... you promised" Thinking that there was no one around her who was willing to support her, she couldn't say how sad she was, "You just let me go, whether it's good or bad, I will take care of it myself, and I won't let you worry about it"

Old Madam Yu smiled coldly: "It would be good if this was the case" She stared at her granddaughter, "I'll give you one last chance to go to the tea party, so let's go." It's just that no matter whether you can make your wishes come true at the tea party, but if there is something out of line, you don't have to come back to be the sixth lady of the Gu family, and the one who died of sudden illness after the tea party is no longer the daughter of the Gu family."

Wen Hui was stunned: "Grandmother"

Jiang Shi also panicked: "Mother-in-law, Hui'er is just young and ignorant, and her daughter-in-law will teach her well......"

"Do you still teach less?" Old Madam Yu snorted coldly, "What are you panicking about? I only said that if her words and deeds at the tea party were out of line, I would not recognize her. As long as she is well-behaved, what is there to be afraid of? ”

Jiang Shi calmed down a little at this time, and looked at his daughter, his eyes were full of tears: "Good Hui'er, your grandmother is serious, don't be confused......"

Wen Hui remembered Zheng Lijun's promise, and felt very confident, so she reluctantly smiled: "I won't mess around." I'm so ...... He also has a good reputation in Beijing, how can he lose his face in front of so many people? ”

"If you really think so, it's the creation of our Gu family." Old Madam Yu was still very cold, "It's just that you have to keep in mind that you are the daughter of the Gu family first, so that you can have today's dignity, if you don't have the Gu family, you don't take yourself too seriously, relying on the elders to love you, you will be willful."

Wen Hui felt aggrieved for a while, and said "yes" on her lips, but said in her heart: When I become the princess of Dongping Wang, you will know how outrageous what I said today

Wen Yi stood in the front yard, her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't help but bow her head and slap her hands. Jiang Yao walked over and said, "I saw a figure from a distance, probably to prepare for it." Are you cold? Can you stand it? ”

Wen Yi nodded, and said, "The fifth sister and the tenth sister have already gotten into the car, and there is a stove in the car, so it should be warmer, can you go up too?" ”

Jiang Yao shook his head: "Originally, I said that the two of them would sit in a car, I squeezed up, and you couldn't get on, if my aunt saw it, it would inevitably be said that I was squeamish, and I couldn't stand even a little cold wind, so it was better to continue to wait here." She looked back, "The people of this family are really snobbish and saw that it was the two of us, so they dragged it out, and they didn't drive the car out for half a day."

Wen Yi comforted her a few words, remembered Zheng Lijun who came unexpectedly, and asked her, "Your nurse...... Was it yesterday? ”

Jiang Yao sneered: "Yesterday, I said that I sent a message from the family, and my little grandson was sick, so he asked me for leave and went out overnight." I have just called someone to go home to her to see if her little grandson is really sick or fake."

Wen Yi frowned: "If it's fake, it must be the sixth sister who asked her to send the message." Today's Tea Party...... Let's be careful, keep an eye on people, and don't let her do anything. ”
