Chapter 180: Pretending to be stupid
Feng Zhirong has always disliked places where people gather, so after leaving the Huiyue Pavilion in the east, she walked along the stone and brick path to the west. Originally, I planned to go to the opposite side of the Reflecting Sun Pavilion, but I thought that ordinary people might be greedy for laziness in the pavilion, so I simply walked along the waterway connecting the Huiyue Pond and the Reflecting Sun Pond, while looking for a sparsely populated place and preparing to hide.
Tang Ranyan and Ge Yuening each talked to the other ladies and seemed to be discussing something, so she didn't mix it up, as for Yang Ruai, she was mixed with Jiang Han again, but looking at Jiang Han from a distance, her face seemed to be as usual, and she seemed to be at ease.
So, I left the order.
Yu Zhu and Fang Chun followed immediately after Feng Zhirong was far away from the crowd, Feng Zhirong just glanced back a little and didn't pay any more attention to it - although Yu Zhu and Fang Chun were extra people placed by King Jing, they were also palace maids who had to guard the boundary on the bright side, and it would not be good if they were too close in front of the public, so the tacit understanding between them was that they would no longer talk after leaving the courtyard.
After Feng Zhirong walked alone for a while, she heard a voice behind her calling to her, "Sister Zhirong!" ”
Feng Zhirong recognized this voice, so she also stopped and turned around to wait.
The person who stopped her was called Xue Xianyu, and her father was the governor of Yipin, that is, the official who later succeeded Feng Xu. Xue Xianfei is her father's old son and is very favored at home, although she was born in a family, her upbringing is indispensable, but she has naturally developed a high-minded and arrogant heart.
Feng Zhirong didn't have any special thoughts about her, after all, most girls were precocious, and it was normal to be rebellious and arrogant at this age. She still remembered that the first time she interacted with Xue Xianyan was when Tang Ranyan pulled her around to introduce her identity, and it was also through Tang Ranyan's enthusiastic introduction that she learned about Xue Xianyan's identity, including the fact that she was Tang Ranyan's future brother and sister.
Because of this nepotism, after Feng Zhirong and Tang Ranyan became friends, if they met Xue Xianyan on weekdays, they would also chat a few words, but every time they always admired Xue Xianyan very much-or wanted to have a close relationship with Tang Ranyan, so they learned Tang Ranyan's appearance in words and deeds, so when the topic of three or two sentences did not leave Tang Ranyan, it was natural that they could not speak for long.
Xue Xianyan has learned Tang Ranyan's bold atmosphere, informality, or noisy appearance thoroughly, but no matter how much she imitates it, she is still an imposter after all, and she is arrogant, so some stupid things often happen that can't bear to see, which always reminds Feng Zhirong of the arrogant stupid cat in her friend's house in her previous life.
"Sister Xianfei." Feng Zhirong always looked at Tang Ranyan's face, and her tone was always a little more cordial to Xue Xianyan: "Why aren't you with Sister Ranyan?" Look at you, there's no one behind you. ”
"I asked them to get me a hand stove, and my hands were still cold." Xue Xianyan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I was sticky a few days ago, so I'm afraid that Sister Ran Yan will annoy me." Whenever she mentioned her future sister-in-law, Xue Xianfei's overflowing arrogance would disperse, revealing the appearance of her original youngest daughter's family, and Feng Zhirong also made good use of this to resolve Xue Xianfei's overly arrogant situation.
"Sister Ran Yan won't find you annoying!" Feng Zhirong's smile was very decent, and after she waited for Xue Xianyu to follow, she walked side by side with her: "Sister Xianfei rarely looks for me on weekdays, but today she happens to be able to talk." ”
Xue Xianyan pouted and said, "On weekdays, you are always with Sister Ran Yan and them, and you always have a good chat, how can I get involved?" ”
"It's just a chat, and my sister is so serious." Feng Zhirong looked at Xue Xianyan's somewhat troubled appearance and felt a little cute, so she couldn't help but tease: "Why don't I call you next time I am with Sister Ran Yan?" ”
Xue Xianyan pursed her lips and said, "It's better to say goodbye, I can't get along with you, I can't get along with your other friends." ”
"Huh?" Feng Zhirong knew that Xue Xianfei looked down on Yang Ruai, the daughter of Yang Dong, who was promoted to an official in the "nouveau riche", and did not like Ge Yuening, who was too cautious and timid, but it was difficult to say it for a while, and she couldn't find an excuse, so she simply acted stupid.
Xue Xianyu snorted softly, and did not continue the topic, but pulled the topic to the other end: "Don't worry about this, why is Sister Zhirong walking alone?" Could it be that you can't find a companion? ”
"It's not ......" Before Xue Xianyu stopped herself, Feng Zhirong had already found a reason: "It's just that I always chat with everyone in the north hall of Anxiu Palace these days, rarely walk around the garden, and think that I will leave the palace temporarily after tomorrow, and I want to enjoy the snow scene of Anxiu Palace." ”
Xue Xianfei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help laughing: "I can't imagine that Sister Zhirong can still have this Yaxing at this time!" ”
"Huh? At such a time? ”
Xue Xianyu let out a "ah" and explained: "Today, it is rare for two mothers to preside over the palace banquet at the same time, and there are two other ...... Accompanied by a lady with a not-so-high rank, I heard that this is the first time in Anxiu Palace! I looked at the people around me who were nervous, and you were still so calm. ”
"There's nothing to be nervous about, just listening to the ladies talking......" Feng Zhirong thought about it, and after all, she still didn't take out the scene of participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet and the grander scene as an excuse to prevaricate, so as to avoid making Xue Xianyu think of places that she shouldn't think about.
After all, after Fan Chang'an's trouble, all the people who didn't know that she was taken out of Guangzheng Garden by King Jing also knew about it, if it weren't for Tang Ranyan and Zhao Mingyun's intention to protect her, I'm afraid these gossips would have scratched the roots of her ears.
Feng Zhirong had the intention to avoid the topic, but Xue Xianyu listened to Feng Zhirong's words, so she took the initiative to mention it: "Think about it, I also saw the queen mother with my own eyes during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet!" At that time, there were several palace concubines and princesses who were also present, and they thought that they would be born again and cooked again! ”
Feng Zhirong changed the topic without a trace when she heard it: "What about Sister Xianyu?" When you attended a palace banquet for the first time, how did you feel? ”
Xue Xianyu has always been arrogant, but this time she didn't shy away from mentioning her past troubles: "The first time I participated in the Shangsi Palace banquet in Anxiu Palace, I was named that time, and my heart almost didn't jump out of my heart!" Fortunately, nothing went wrong. ”
Feng Zhirong made a stunned look and said, "Why? ”
"That is, at the beginning of this year, at that time, it was Concubine Xian who was engaged to marry and presided over the banquet of Anxiu Palace at that time, and it happened that Sister Ran Yan and I were each picked out to speak." Xue Xianyu did not shy away from mentioning the reason for her past troubles, which was revealed: "At that time, I had just come to Anxiu Palace, and it was the first time I participated in the palace banquet, but I had to be ordered to talk to Niangniang, but it was rare. Saying that, there is a vague look of pride, and I think it is also a lot of showmanship.
