Chapter 411: Throwing Bricks
This birthday was really grand, and almost all the officials and daughters in Beijing were present. Even the Ice Princess and Princess Nobu were not absent.
Jin Cancan's face was happy, and her mother was a little worried when she saw her daughter's silly appearance.
The daughter only begged her to hold a birthday banquet as lively as possible, but she never used her brain to think about how a military secretary could have such a face in a place like the capital where there were too many high-ranking officials and nobles to count.
Fortunately, now that the battle on the front line has been victorious, the second prince is already on his way back to the court. Mrs. Jin specially invited Princess Rong, that is, Princess Norbu of Tibetan Xi, to hold this banquet together.
Not long after these two princes were crowned King Rong, they made such military exploits, and few people dared not sell the face of the two princesses.
Therefore, today's banquet simply has the momentum of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, who used to dress up for a banquet.
Princess Norbu personally took Jin Cancan's hand into the banquet, and the banquet was also very happy. Even the seventh princess also showed a rare smile.
Su Zhenyi looked at Su Zhaoning's side, and saw that she was bowing her head to pour tea for Nan Minxing, so she immediately gave Zou Di a hint.
Zou Di stood up and left the table.
Su Zhenyi looked expectantly at Zou Di walking towards the maid beside the Seventh Princess, not noticing that Su Zhaoning had already raised her head.
Since it is to expose the sinister intentions, it is still necessary to let the other party expose the sinister intentions first.
I saw that the maid next to the seventh princess also looked like she was leaving the table to send a gift to Jin Cancan for the seventh princess, and when she was hit by Zou Di, the maid fell to the ground.
The box fell to the ground and made a sound, but it was not broken. Instead, a piece of jade on the maid's body was broken in half.
The maid was busy picking up the brocade box, and somehow, the jade was kicked and kicked directly to Jin Cancan.
Jin Cancan bent down and picked up the broken half of the jade.
The jade fell really well, this is only half of the jade, and the word Zhaoning can also be seen on it.
Jin Cancan said with a surprised face: "Your name is the same as that of Mrs. Dingyuan?" β
The Seventh Princess looked at the maid with sharp eyes and asked, "Bizhu, how did I not know that your name had changed?" β
The maid knelt on the ground with a puff and confessed: "The princess forgives the sin, this jade buckle is not the slave's." The slave maid was justγJust the old things left by the general that day were found by sorting outγ I wanted to find an opportunity to tell the princess, but I didn't expect to fall out of the accident today. β
The general's old belongings, the jade buckle, still have the name of Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis on it?
These three pieces of information were linked, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Su Zhaoning's side.
Su Zhaoning poured tea for Nan Minxing, and now he is using a small poke to open the pomegranate on the table.
Everyone's eyes looked at them with questioning, disdain, or questioning, but Su Zhaoning's movements were not affected at all.
She poked a piece of the skin from the pomegranate's head, and then broke out a large piece of crystalline fruit.
This action was delicate and full of carefulness for the child, which made some older ladies can't help but feel that they would turn their eyes to Nan Minxing's body.
The child leaning next to Su Zhaoning was reaching out and taking a part of the pomegranate particles that Su Zhaoning had just peeled out into his hand.
Then, he did not put it in his own mouth. Instead, he stood up and fed it to Su Zhaoning's mouth.
The child's immature voice came into the ears of the people who were nearby: "Mother, I have also cleaned my hands." You eat with Min Xing. β
Such a harmonious mother-son relationship, if it is not pointed out, who can see that Nan Minxing is not from Su Zhaoning?
The boudoir women at the banquet also didn't believe in this happy scene, but those ladies who had become mothers had a little more sympathy for Su Zhaoning.
Obviously, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis really regards Nan Minxing as her own. She is a widow, and if she does not rely on her son, who else can she rely on? It's a pity that it's such a day, and some people don't want her to live well.
The eyes of those ladies almost unanimously looked at Su Zhenyi's side.
Everyone is out of the intrigue in the inner house, who doesn't know that the people present, the most unsure of the Yuanhou wife Su Zhaoning is good, it is ten percent of her cousin who was abandoned at home.
Su Zhenyi didn't think that other people would see her at all, and she happened to be looked at by others with a smug face.
And among these people who noticed Su Zhaoning, one of them was the Seventh Princess.
The seventh princess didn't care if Su Zhaoning was wronged, but it was Chen Tianyang and her husband whose reputation was ruined on the other side.
What is being trampled on the ground now is not only Su Zhaoning's face. She asked her palace maid in a cold voice: "Since you have this jade buckle, why didn't you give it to me sooner or later, and chose this time to fall out and show it to everyone?" β
"Could it be that you think that your concubine has a personal affair with someone is a very proud thing for this princess, so you have to publicize it?" The latter sentence of the seventh princess raised her voice, and the majesty of the superior was undoubtedly revealed.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't get the attitude of the seventh princess for a while, so they simply withdrew their eyes and looked at their noses and hearts.
Only Princess Norbu and Princess Ice and Snow were not affected by the Seventh Princess, and their eyes still lingered on Su Zhaoning.
And Su Zhaoning's performance at this moment is no different from when everyone looked at her before. It can be said that other people's words did not affect Su Zhaoning at all.
She and Nan Minxing were still eating the pomegranate in their hands, because the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and the voices of the two of them talking in a low voice were also very clear.
"Mother, you said that your aunt likes pomegranates, so you can make pomegranate cakes in two days, and then call your aunt to come to our house, okay?" Nan Minxing made a request with Su Zhaoning.
"Okay." Su Zhaoning agreed, she put all the pomegranate grains in her hand into the crystal plate, and then turned around to clean her hands.
"Mrs. Hou is very good at cooking?" The voice of the Ice Princess rang in everyone's ears.
Just like her outstanding appearance, the sound is also like a crisp jade crash, which makes people's hearts tremble.
With such a good appearance and such a good voice, this ice princess is really ......
Everyone looked at the Ice Princess with no jealousy.
When the gap is too big, jealousy is out of the question.
Su Zhaoning looked up at the Ice Princess. She is different from others, because when she first met the Ice Princess this time, she already knew that the other party was the person of the Four Princes, so her focus at this time was not on the appearance and voice of the Ice Princess.
Generally speaking, a woman with such outstanding looks will be found to be another identity, and her original status will not be too high.
Otherwise, such a face cannot be hidden.
Su Zhaoning nodded politely and detached to the Ice Princess: "The child just likes what I do." β
Even if you answer "I understand a little", this topic is very easy to extend. But Su Zhaoning's answer made the ice princess who didn't have a child seem a little difficult to answer.
The Ice Princess did pause.
The seventh princess had already dropped the jade buckle handed over by Jin Cancan to the palace maid's face: "Tianyang is my husband, what does his belt look like, and what does the jade buckle look like, don't I know?" If you dare to fornicate with outsiders and slander your master, I think you will die. β
The palace maid didn't expect that the first one who didn't believe in herself was her own master. She originally dared to accept Su Zhenyi's silver taels, but in addition to the words that the other party said, the main reason was that the palace maid knew that her master was really interested in the master of the horse.
But the heart of the horse master has never been in her master's body.
The palace maid felt that this matter was risk-free. As soon as the jade buckle came out, the anger of her master was absolutely all directed at Mrs. Dingyuan Hou.
The current scene, the palace maid did not think about it at all. She suddenly panicked.
When people have no owner, they will subconsciously ask for help.
The palace maid looked at Su Zhenyi's side.
Su Zhenyi didn't expect the palace maid to be so timid, and immediately glared at the other party.
The palace maid could only retract her gaze.
The seventh princess completely took the two of them back and forth into their eyes.
"Go, find Zhen Baozhai's steward for this princess." The Seventh Princess was not prepared to ask for an answer from the palace maid at all.
Zou Di couldn't sit still. She blurted out and asked, "How can the princess be sure that this is Zhen Baozhai's craft?" β
The Seventh Princess glanced at Zou Di and asked, "I'm afraid that Young Lady Qin's makeup box is empty." β
This is a direct reference to Zou Di's rarity and strangeness.
Zou Di's face was flushed, and she wanted to ask again, but Mrs. Qin next to her pulled down her sleeves.
Mrs. Qin knocked her daughter-in-law and said, "Is this matter related to you?" β
Zou Di had to be silent.
Su Zhaoning only raised his head completely at this time.
She looked clearly in the direction where Zou Di was sitting, and seemed to be completely attracted by Zou Di's interjection.
Zou Di met Su Zhaoning's gaze, and her heart suddenly felt a little empty. Although Su Zhenyi has words, Zou Di knows that she will agree to this matter, and the most important thing is that she can't see Su Zhaoning, the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, in her heart. Even, she vaguely thought that even if it was fake, as long as it could be faked, it would be worth her help.
What will Zhen Baozhai's steward say? This jade buckle should have been customized by General Chen, right? Zou Di looked at Su Zhenyi worriedly.
Su Zhenyi held her head high, looking fearless. She even glanced at Su Zhaoning defiantly.
In response to Su Zhenyi's provocation, Su Zhaoning only raised his lips slightly and chuckled.
Su Zhenyi was bluffed by this smile, and her provocative gaze was not as imposing as before.
Zhen Baozhai is just a business after all. The princess has an order, and the palm is very fast.
"This is indeed a customized product from Zhen Bao Zhai. It's just that our rules, this customized person can't say it. "The head can be said to have rejected the request of the seventh princess.
Su Zhenyi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and looked at Su Zhaoning. That's where her confidence lies. The first jewelry workshop in Beijing, if there is no one rule of conduct, how can it be based on the first?
Su Zhaoning looked back at Su Zhenyi, and there was also a smile in his eyes. Her smile is far less flamboyant than Su Zhenyi's, but she is more confident than the other party.
