Chapter 15 The Secret of the Palace
The wooden porch curves over the water, connecting several pavilions, where many people have gathered, some sitting on seats, others leaning on the sidelines to watch the surrounding scenery.
Shen Qingyu stepped on the wooden bridge and looked sideways at her feet, her shadow could still be printed in the clear water.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little excited.
Seeing that she was stunned, Ji Yunshang pulled her and urged, "Uncle called us!" ”
Shen Qingyu came back to his senses, and sure enough, he saw the Wen clan and the county lord of Anping waving at them over there, and it turned out that they had fallen behind some distance unconsciously.
They hurriedly walked a few steps and followed.
Shen Qingyu arrived in the pavilion, looked around, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, the female dependents were all dressed up extremely delicate and beautiful, and then with this beautiful scenery, it was simply a beautiful picture.
It is said that it is normal for the wives of each family to bring their daughters to participate in this kind of banquet, but what is going on with this row of little radish heads, almost all of them are with little girls of a few years old, Shen Qingyu wondered in his heart, but he couldn't remember if it was the same situation in the previous life.
The county lord of Anping took Wen's party to a place with few people, and took Wen's hand and sat aside.
Wen also noticed that the people around him were all bringing the little girl, and said strangely: "Most of the people who usually attend the banquet are young ladies of the right age, why are they all younger children than Qingyu today." ”
The little lady of the right age mentioned by Wen is actually a girl of the age of Jilu, after all, this kind of occasion is quite efficient for marriage arrangements.
The county lord of Anping lowered his voice, "I didn't want to call you for my mother's birthday banquet this time, what is the reason for you?" ”
She glanced around, and saw that they were all her own people, so she continued: "This birthday banquet Mrs. Wen also came, since the accident in the Wen family, she has rarely gone out, because some time ago I told His Majesty that now there is only one single seedling left in the Wen family, and the knees are cold, so I want to accept a goddaughter, so I know that this birthday banquet Mrs. Wen will come, and these people have brought girls here." ”
Wen rubbed the handkerchief in his hand a little helplessly, "I knew that I really shouldn't have been called, and I didn't want to be able to climb this kind of good thing, this time I brought Qing Yu to make people think that I had this idea." ”
"Of course I know that you don't have this kind of mind," The county lord of Anping still doesn't know the Wen family, of course she knows that she doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, "Later, I thought about it again, this Wen family's strength is still there!" If you accept another girl from a high-ranking family as a godparent, will the person above really be happy? ”
Wen's face turned pale, and he pushed the county lord of Anping, and said, "You are too bold, and you can say this." ”
This is a bit excessive, if others hear it, they will have to find some trouble for the county lord of Anping.
The county lord of Anping smiled, "Isn't this just for you!" ”
She sighed and looked around, "Actually, these people may not be unable to understand this truth, but they still have a little confused thoughts." ”
They didn't avoid Shen Qingyu and Ji Yunshang when they said this, although they knew that these words were a little inappropriate, but thinking of the two children, their own family would definitely not dare to spread it.
Ji Yunsheng's heart was pounding, this was the reason why she tried her best to persuade her grandmother to let Wen definitely bring her over.
There was also such a thing in the previous life, and later the old lady Wen accepted a girl from a low-grade petty official as her granddaughter, and in terms of identity, maybe Ji Yunshang was stronger.
This made her have some illusions, if she is not from a high family, if she can really be the granddaughter of Mrs. Wen, it can be regarded as turning over.
Her face changed here, and the county lord of Anping over there had already kept the girls around her far away, obviously the next words would not be heard by others.
I am not afraid of being heard by anyone just now, how serious the next words should be. Shen Qingyu still had the illusion that the county lord of Anping would not take them away, but the county lord of Anping had already opened his mouth.
"Qingyu, take your cousin over there to play, there are all little girls of the same age, and I know a few friends."
Shen Qingyu followed her words and looked there, and sure enough, there were many little girls gathered together to play, obviously they were all following their parents just now.
She blinked, nodded in agreement, and turned around three times.
The county lord of Anping only has a son, and he really loves Shen Qingyu, and when he sees her looking back every two steps, he only thinks it is very cute. He Wen smiled: "I am so reluctant to you, I have turned back several times for a while!" ”
Wen seemed to complain, "It's clingy!" ”
"It's showing off, isn't it?" The county lord of Anping flicked Wen's forehead with his fingers, "As soon as the two of my family are released, they can't even see the figures, I hope to have such a clingy child." ”
Wen smiled: "Boys and girls are different. ”
"What's the difference?" The county lord of Anping sighed with emotion, straightened his face, and whispered in Wen's ear: "You should know, two days ago, His Majesty ordered the Seventh Prince to go out of Beijing, with only two old servants, I heard that his mother Li Cairen was beaten into an inhuman shape, and he couldn't live when he saw it." ”
Wen didn't know, she went to see it in person, and when she heard the words, she was worried in her heart, knowing that this matter could not be said to be known to the county lord of Anping no matter what, so she just nodded and said that she also knew about it.
The county lord of Anping said again: "Lord Shen is still the ...... of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
Wen's hand shook and said in a trembling voice: "Don't say it!" You know I'm timid. ”
Seeing that Wen's face turned white with fright, the lord of Anping County naturally stopped and comforted: "Oh, such a distant relationship, I'm afraid Your Majesty can't think of it, what are you worried about?" ”
She comforted Wen a few more times, and did not stop until the other party's face looked better.
On the other side, Ji Yunshang was in an unspeakable mood, waiting for the old lady to behave well when she came over, and she didn't want to mix with those little girls at all, but since the county lord of Anping said it, she had to leave with her.
But she didn't want to intersect with those young ladies whose family background was much higher than her, so she walked very slowly.
Shen Qingyu cooperated with Ji Yunsheng's footsteps, and she didn't want to go forward much, but because she thought that she was a lot older than these people, she had nothing to talk about.
When the little girls who gathered together to talk saw Shen Qingyu and the others, they asked if they were not afraid of life: "Which girl are you?" How have I never seen it. ”
Shen Qingyu didn't know how to report home, so he said perfunctorily: "We rarely go out, so you haven't seen it." ”
The girl didn't have to ask anything, she stopped paying attention to people when she got a reply, and continued to talk and laugh with the people she was familiar with.
They were all sitting by the water, where the breeze was cool and shaded by the trees, so they wanted to stay here.
