Because the courtyard of King Rui's Mansion is extremely deep, everyone walked for a while before entering a richly decorated main hall.

In this hall, not only is the decoration luxurious, but also the place is extremely spacious, and at first glance it is specially furnished for the reception banquet, and many guests have already sat on the rows of chairs.

On both sides of the side, in the flower hall separated by screens, there were still many women's voices faintly listening.

On the high chair at the top, sat Rui Wang's biological mother, Concubine Xian.

She was wearing a purple brocade dress, her hair was full of pearls, her makeup was very luxurious, and she was talking to several older ladies with a smile on her face.

Although she is old, you can still see the appearance of her youth from her silhouette.

Seeing that a new guest had arrived, she stopped talking and looked at the people in the Rong Mansion.

Princess Xian stepped forward and accused Mrs. Rong, saying words of inconsiderate hospitality.

Mrs. Rong naturally responded politely, and then took the daughters of the Rong family to salute Concubine Xian.

Rong Qiaoyan followed everyone to greet Concubine Xian, and then got a purse with silver barley.

This is also understandable.

King Rui is a noble, and the Rong family is a minister, and the two sides are not too familiar, that is, they have met a few more times at the banquet.

Therefore, even the greeting gift is nothing more than silver barley with various tricks.

Rong Shunhua and other concubines naturally don't like it, they just feel vulgar. But Rong Qiaoyan was very happy.

The happy Rong Qiaoyan was led by the eldest lady with the daughters, and went to greet the elders who knew each other, and then got a bunch of reward purses.

She suppressed the joy in her heart and handed it to Shirui to put away.

After that, the ladies accompanied the women in the main hall for a conversation, and they came up with the words, 'Let the children play by themselves.'

There are young ladies from Rui Wangfu, who want to take the ladies of Rongfu to enjoy the plum blossoms in the plum garden in the back garden.

Rong Qiaoyan followed everyone to the courtyard, and quietly instructed Shirui to find a place to rest, and take care of the rewards, she only took Miaozhi to enjoy the plums.

Because there were too many people who came to the Rui Wangfu to participate in the banquet, the guests who came to participate consciously reduced the number of people they brought.

A concubine like Rong Qiaoyan can only bring a big maid to serve with her, and a little maid to run errands.

For other things, you can tell the maids of the Rui Palace.

Baimei has been suffering from a cold in the past few days, so Rong Qiaoyan let her go home to raise her.

Therefore, Rong Qiaoyan came to the banquet with only Miaozhi and Shirui.

She was worried that Shirui would run around the yard with her things and lose them, so she asked Shirui to go to the place where she entertained the next person to warm up.

As for Miaozhi, as a big maid who serves closely, she naturally has to follow her master.

Fortunately, I just went to the plum garden to see the plum blossoms for a while and came back.

For the first time, Shirui accepted the young lady's reward for herself, so she naturally responded cautiously, and followed the subordinates of the Rui Wangfu to the place where the subordinates were greeted.

Rong Qiaoyan followed behind everyone with Miaozhi and slowly went to the back garden.

In the end, it is Rui Wangfu, it is really a scene in three steps, and a wonder in five steps.

Not to mention the carved beams and painted buildings that pass along the way, the corridor is tortuous.

Let's just say that in this back garden, there are strange stones, flowers, pavilions, and pavilions, and many pavilions and bridges that are floating in the veil, spanning the lake that is now frozen.

If it weren't for the freezing in winter, it would really be a rockery with flowing water, which would be poetic.

Rong Qiaoyan and the sisters followed the young lady who was entertaining guests in Rui Wangfu, walked through several corridors in a winding way, and passed through several hanging flower gates before entering a garden full of plum trees.

The plum garden in Rui Wang's Mansion is really worthy of the word 'garden', which is full of all kinds of plum trees.

There are not only common red and white plums, but also rare green plums.

At this time, the plum garden is full of young ladies who are walking around and watching the plum blossoms.

Recently, there has been a lot of snow, and today it is sunny after the snow, and the beautiful scenery of this snow pressing red plum is particularly eye-catching.

After the young lady of the Rui Wangfu sent the ladies of the Rong Mansion into the plum garden, she let the maidservants entertain them, and they left to entertain the new female guests.

So, among the ladies of Rongfu, some went to find familiar sisters or friends, and some went to enjoy the beauty of the plum blossoms.

And Rong Qiaoyan has been upset a lot recently, and she hasn't slept very well, plus she has been walking for a long time, but she is a little tired.

She chose a corner at random, sat on a bench covered with animal skins under a thick plum tree, leaned against the old plum tree regardless of her manners, and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

"There are so many plum blossoms in this plum garden. It's the first time I've seen a green plum. ”

The voice of a little girl who was amazed came from afar.

Listening to the meaning of those words, it was also the first time to participate in the plum banquet of King Rui's Mansion.

The plum blossoms of the Dajing Dynasty are mostly white and red plums.

Red plums, on the other hand, are red in various colors. What a big red, light red, cinnabar red, pink and so on...

Green plum blossoms are scarce.

It's rare to see a green calyx plum on an ordinary basis, let alone a green plum with green petals all over its body.

And there are not only Rui Wangfu, but also several, no wonder everyone is surprised.

Rong Qiaoyan, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, quickly sat up straight and cheered up, so as not to lose her demeanor in front of others.

"yes. This plum garden was built specifically for Princess Rui when Prince Rui built his mansion. I heard that these green plums were given by the palace. ”

The voice of the other woman sounded older, and she seemed to know more about the inside story.

"Really. Sister Yun, is this really built by Prince Rui for Princess Rui? ”

The first girl, who was amazed, seemed to ask another person curiously.

"It was my uncle who built it for my aunt." A clear Lingling voice, but said without emotion.

So, the two women began to compliment Sister Yun.

And the person who was called Sister Yun seemed to be an arrogant person, just a faint "um" "yes" and "yes" response.

The three of them were talking, admiring the plum blossoms, and slowly the voices became farther and farther away.

Rong Qiaoyan listened to their footsteps as they walked away, and thought of the Princess Rui they just mentioned, presumably it must be the original princess of Prince Rui, right?

Princess Yun of Xianrui is the daughter of Yun Taifu and the famous pearl of the capital back then.

How Prince Rui doted on Princess Rui back then, everyone had heard of it.

But even if you are favored, so what?

The beauty died once, didn't this Rui prince remarry the new princess soon?

So, the so-called love, but that's it!

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the plum garden.

Rong Qiaoyan was silent in her thoughts, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

When she came back to her senses, the plum garden was completely quiet.

It seems that everyone has enjoyed the plum blossoms, and they can't stand the cold and leave?

Rong Qiaoyan sighed at Princess Rui's reputation, stood up, and prepared to leave this small corner------- this corner is too hidden, it is really easy to listen to other people's gossip, and she is to blame for her inconsiderate thinking before.
