After the jewelry incident passed, Yun Qing still didn't solve those jewelry, so he simply put them away temporarily.

Not long after, the lotus pond in the palace bloomed a rare three-ti jia lotus, and the battle ahead was full of success, and the palace people felt that these three ti lotus was an auspicious omen.

The queen suddenly proposed that it was a pity that no one appreciated such an auspicious flower, so it was better to hold a lotus banquet and invite the daughters of all families to enjoy the lotus together.

The eldest princess of the queen should be out of the cabinet even if she is old, and now the country is safe and secure, and there is no need to use the princess and relatives or marry the minister to envelop the forces and the like, the queen has always wanted the princess to choose a wishful husband by herself, and the emperor probably knew the queen's intentions, so he agreed.

When the post in the palace was sent to Shangshu Mansion, the eldest lady said to the eunuch: "The lady in the palace has a banquet, and those who go to this kind of occasion are all genuine daughters, and it would be good for our family Shu'er to go." ”

The eunuch was a little embarrassed: "If you go back to Madame, the eldest prince has a life, and the second lady must also go." ”

Yunqing: "......"

When Yun Shangshu heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Qing'er will go with you too!"

Although Yun Shangshu didn't want Yun Qing to have anything to do with the eldest prince, since the orders had been given, he couldn't refuse.

In the past few months, Yun Qing has become more and more pleasing in Shangshu Mansion, and often personally cooks for Yun Shangshu Lao Taijun and others to study some fresh food. The rest of the soup will be distributed to the people in the house.

Even if these people's hearts are made of stone, they should be warm, and the old lady now completely accepts Yunqing, her own granddaughter. After changing her opinion of Yunqing, Lao Taijun found that this granddaughter was not bad, beautiful and filial, although she was not as good as Shu'er, but compared with the two sisters Yunjing and Yunyi, she was still much better.

Seeing that Yunqing and Yunshu could enter the palace, Jiang Shi was a little unconvinced: "Master, just go to enjoy a lotus, Ah Jing and Ah Yi have never entered the palace, let them follow together." ”

The eldest lady frowned and said: "Do you think anyone in the palace can go to the palace? This time, the queen mother set up a banquet, and it is not disgusting enough to go with Yun Xun's face! If you have the ability, you can also let your two daughters learn from others, and seduce a prince, and you can also go!"

"You ......" The eldest lady still has no guilt for scratching Yun Xun's face, who let Yun Xun harm her first! She is not treated by the master at all now, and it is not this little hoof that has harmed her! The eldest lady is angry, and from time to time she brings it up to stimulate the second room. Jiang Shi was furious by the brazenness of the eldest lady: "You don't act like a boss with this old and disfigured face, what's wrong with our Ah Jing?!"

Cold sweat slipped from the forehead of the father-in-law who came to deliver the post, and Yun Shangshu felt that his old face had been lost, but because his father-in-law was still there, he suppressed his anger and said, "You two shut up for me!"

The eldest lady and the Jiang family saw that Yun Shangshu was angry, and they didn't dare to say more, so the Jiang family stepped forward and said, "Master, you also know that our Ah Jing is like this now, and we must find a way to marry her."

Yun Shangshu also felt reasonable when he heard this, but which of those sons of the family would take a fancy to Yun Xun today? Even if he was a concubine, I am afraid that no one would accept it......

Looking at Jiang's expectant gaze, Yun Shangshu still sighed heavily and said, "Let's go together."

The banquet was set up three days later, on the same day, the carriages of the daughters of each family stopped at the gate of the palace, one by one dressed up very beautifully, Yun Qing got out of the carriage, and actually felt that there was a kind of similarity with the countryside when he was rushing to the big gathering.

Everyone followed the eunuch into the palace and came to the water pavilion not far from the lotus pond to sit down.

It is said that this kind of banquet, everyone should have talked eloquently, and the atmosphere was lively, but because it was the queen and the concubine Yue who personally set up the banquet, and the eldest prince was also there, which of these three was not a high-ranking and powerful master, and the whole body exuded a dignified atmosphere, so everyone was extremely restrained, and they didn't even dare to say a word, for fear that one would accidentally lose his sense of proportion and become a laughing stock.

The queen glanced at Liu Yan, who was closest to her, and said: "The smoke is getting brighter, but it's a pity that the prince is not here today, otherwise, I will see you in front of me." ”

Knowing that the queen was talking about the scene, Liu Yan still couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The queen said, and said, "I heard that Miss Yun Er from Yunfu is also here today, which one is?"

Yun Qing was suddenly named, stunned and said: "If you go back to Niangniang, you are a courtier." ”

"You are the concubine that Yun Shangshu found in the countryside?"

When the queen mother spoke, she deliberately emphasized the words "country and concubine", and when Yun Qing was secretly wondering where she was not pleasing to the queen, the queen said: "I heard that the eldest prince has been running to Shangshu Mansion recently, just for this Yunqing girl." ”

Concubine Yue's face darkened when she heard this, and she glanced at Yun Qing with disgust and said, "The queen mother said that she was laughing, this girl has an average appearance, how can we fall in love with her?"

When Yun Qing heard this, he instantly understood what was going on, knelt on the ground and did not answer, waiting to see what the next step of these two nobles was.

The queen smiled: "According to the palace, this girl is very good, and she is beautiful, maybe, there are other advantages, Miss Yun, can you play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"If you go back to your mother, you will be fur. ”

"Have you ever read or written?"

"Recognize a few words. ”

Yun Qing deliberately said that she was a little worse, even if she was found to be lying, it would only show her modesty. What's more important is that she hopes from the bottom of her heart that the more the concubine dislikes her, the more disgusted the better, so as to get rid of this annoying prince.

She did it, and after hearing this, Concubine Yue was even more disgusted.

"What kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting does a country man know, he says that he can recognize a few words, and he probably knows his name, Huang'er, you haven't taken a fancy to this Miss Yun Er at all, have you?"

The corners of the eldest prince's lips hooked: "Of course! Where did the queen mother hear this gossip?"

In this case, the eldest prince naturally wants to be of the same mind as Concubine Yue, and there is a low laugh from below.

How much they like Yunqing when they are still the eldest prince, many people are jealous, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

Yun Qing had expected this to be the case early on, maybe this eldest prince really thought she was special and had a little affection for her, but it was limited to that.

Yun Qing glanced at the eldest prince lightly, and the eldest prince dodged his gaze.

The queen was taken aback, and said with a sneer: "It's the palace that is confused, I listened to the rumors, Miss Yun don't kneel, get up." ”

After Yun Qing returned to his position, he listened to everyone talk a little bored.

There are a lot of sons and daughters who are a little interesting to each other, and they tease each other a few words.

Yun Xun sat quietly and did not speak, and now, she was not willing to participate in this kind of occasion at all. But someone had nothing to do and said: "Miss Yunsan is also here today, by the way, Meng Gongzi, I heard earlier that you are a little interesting to Miss Yunsan, and the family has already discussed proposing marriage, is it really fake?"

The man who was called Meng Gongzi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How is it possible? It's all rumors, don't believe it." ”

Yun Xun's face turned pale, Yun Qing glanced at Meng Gongzi, and said with a smile: "How can I remember that Meng Gongzi talked to my third sister at my eldest sister's birthday banquet in the past, and forgot about it so quickly?"

When Meng Gongzi saw that it was exposed, his face turned blue and red for a while: "I make friends on weekdays, and I have spoken to everyone, what do you know?!"

"Oh? Meng Gongzi knows whether men and women are intimate or not, how many girls has Meng Gongzi talked to?"

"I, I'm mostly looking for men!"

"In that case, why did the woman find my third sister?"

Meng Gongzi was completely speechless, and glanced at Yun Qing viciously.

Yun Qing retracted his gaze, glanced at the woman who had just made trouble, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, this girl once took the initiative to find Meng Gongzi." ”

The woman was exposed, and she blushed instantly: "You, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Don't hide it from this young lady, my village girl has nothing else to do, but she has a good memory. In the past, the pigs of the family in the village ran into someone's pigsty, and I could recognize at a glance which one was the lost pig, let alone you. ”

This means that you don't quibble, no one can see what you have in mind.

The young lady was annoyed and angry when she was exposed, and she was also compared to Yun Qing and the pig, and under the gaze of everyone, her face turned red, and she stared at Yun Qing with hatred in her eyes.

Yun Qing smiled faintly at her, this person, don't die yourself, no one will be idle and bored and you don't want to go.

In the afternoon, it was a little cooler, and the queen smiled: "Everyone is here, let's go to enjoy the lotus first." ”

In the lotus pond, the three-tiled lotus is quietly on the surface of the lake, graceful and colorful, out of the silt but not stained, very beautiful.

Some people took the opportunity to show off and began to use the title to compose poems, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Yun Qing and Yun Jing stood by the pool, Yun Xun had no interest in appreciating the lotus, and said in a low voice: "Fang Cai, thank you, eldest sister." ”

"It's okay, I don't like that person when I see him, and it's not all for you. ”

"Thank you again. ”

While the two were talking, Yun Qing suddenly stretched out a hand behind her and pushed her, and Yun Qing fell into the pool with a thud amid everyone's exclamations.

Yun Qing was not waterproof, and after struggling twice on the surface of the lake, he began to sink, and in a trance, a person jumped down, and there was another exclamation on the shore.

Yun Qing seemed to hear someone shouting the eldest prince again.

A purple figure in front of her gradually approached and pulled her back.

After the eldest prince personally carried Yun Qing to the shore, he pressed Yun Qing's chest with a nervous expression, and there was a whisper of discussion around him.

Not long ago, the eldest prince was also worthy of Concubine Yue, and lied that he didn't like Yunqing. It's good now, as soon as Yun Qing fell into the water, he actually jumped down himself.

Yue Guifei's delicate face instantly turned green.

。

This is the eldest prince! The eldest prince, who has always paid the most attention to his own image and never treats women as things! He would actually make himself a chicken in the soup in front of everyone for the sake of a concubine.

The eldest prince pressed a few times for Yun Qing, Yun Qing vomited a few mouthfuls of water, and finally opened his eyes. Da Huanzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Guifei's tone was trembling: "Emperor, come here!"

The eldest prince was slightly stunned, and deeply regretted his gaffe.

Why did he do that? What was he so nervous about the moment Yun Qing fell into the water? He would only approach this woman for the sake of the crown prince.

After the eldest prince went down to change clothes, the eldest princess came to Yun Qing and said, "Miss Yun, I'll take you to change your clothes." ”

Yun Qing saw that the princess seemed to have something to say to her, so she followed her to the princess's bedroom, and the princess took out her clothes and handed them to her, "You and I are about the same shape, so we should wear them." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess. ”

After Yun Qing changed her clothes, the princess suddenly said, "It's the first time I've seen the eldest brother so attentive to a woman. ”

Yunqing: "......"

This is also what she is worried about, she still can't come back to her senses, and the eldest prince will actually jump down to save her in person.

If the eldest prince has an unknown purpose for approaching her, it is better to say that as long as there is a purpose, there is naturally a solution, if she is sincere to her, what should she do?

"What does Her Royal Highness the Princess want to say?"

"I'm persuading the girl to cherish her blessings, to tell the truth, the girl is not from a high background, and she can be favored by my eldest brother, but she has to seize the opportunity. ”

Yun Qing pondered for a while, and probably guessed what this princess was thinking.

At the banquet just now, although Yun Qing has been silent, he is not unable to see that the queen and Concubine Yue have a lot of contradictions, this princess is the daughter of the queen, how can she really think about the eldest prince?

Her identity is a concubine, if she marries the eldest prince, it is better than the eldest prince marrying those powerful daughters, at least it will not be like a tiger, maybe she will become a drag on the eldest prince, which is exactly in line with the queen's mother and daughter.

The princess couldn't guess that Yun Qing, a country from the countryside, had so many thoughts, and when she didn't answer, she frowned and said, "Miss Yun, what do you think?"

"The status of the courtiers is low, and she is really not worthy of His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”

"My imperial brother likes you, so you are naturally worthy of it. ”

"The courtiers are self-aware, thank you for your attention. ”

The princess saw that she was really not on the road, and her attitude was not as polite as Fang Cai: "I really don't know how blessed I am, how many daughters envy you today can't envy you!"

No matter what the princess said, Yun Qing was unmoved, but she also knew that it was not good to refuse too much, and finally pretended to listen to it and said: "What the princess said is reasonable, and the courtiers think about it." ”

The princess thought that she was moved, and said with a smile: "You think about it, as long as you take the initiative, maybe it is possible to become the princess." ”

The princess?

It sounds tempting, but unfortunately, Yunqing is not uncommon.

After the two returned to the banquet, because of the episode of falling into the water, everyone present had their own thoughts. The queen completely gained the upper hand, and the Yue Guifei, who took the opportunity to taunt, turned pale. The eldest prince was also silent, and when he saw Yun Qing coming back, he looked at her with a deep gaze and turned his head.
