Wei Baozhu is still the same as usual, polite and sensible, and takes great care of others, Wei Laner's eyes occasionally show coldness, but he also hides it well.

However, the maidservant behind the county lord of Yuanheng was holding a small box two feet square, I don't know if it was a gift prepared by the mansion for the eldest princess of Deqing.

Following the guidance of the inner servant, everyone walked up to the main road of Chonghua Palace, and they could already see groups of pavilion girls walking in groups from a distance to Zhangtai Palace.

Wei Lan'er asked Wei Jin'er in a low voice: "Big sister, do we all have to talk in front of the eldest princess of Deqing one by one?" ”

Wei Jin'er shook her head with a smile: "The capital is qualified to be invited to the Fanghua banquet, not too much, not too little." The wives of each family brought three or five daughters of the clan, and there were also a large number of people. If the eldest princess of Deqing spoke one by one, she would not be tired. It's just that everyone will meet together. If the princess asks who she wants, and who comes forward again, she does not have to come forward without command. ”

The eldest princess of Deqing naturally wanted to press the hour to come, and everyone waited in the Zhangtai Hall for a while before they heard the report from the inner servant: "The eldest princess has arrived." ”

Everyone hurriedly cleaned up their expressions, stood quietly on the side, and bowed to salute.

Then, a gentle and dignified voice came: "Excuse me." ”

"Eldest Princess Xie."

The eldest princess is over sixty years old, well-maintained, and looks no more than forty or fifty years old, and her hair is only a few strands white.

The crowd stood up and saluted.

The county lord of Yuanheng nominally wants to call the eldest princess of Deqing the imperial aunt and grandmother, but in fact, the two have not even met a few times, and of course they can't talk about acquaintance and care.

At this time, the identity of the county lord of Yuanheng was only the eldest lady of the Wei family, and it could not attract the special attention of the eldest princess. Li Qingyi stood behind her with her head bowed, and she would not be noticed by the eldest princess.

However, the eyes of many ladies around her frequently looked at her.

The princess's gaze swept slightly, and then she said with a smile: "This palace has always loved to be lively, looking at these tender little girls in front of me, I always feel that they are a little more beautiful than those flowers outside. At this time of the year, I want you to take time out to accompany this old woman in this palace. ”

The crowd didn't even dare to say it.

"Okay, when the evening party arrives, we will gather at the Yunjing Terrace in front, and the palace has invited a few people to perform, and you will have a good eye today. Now this kung fu, just go and play separately, don't be restrained. ”

Next, it's time to socialize.

The eldest princess of Deqing said "casual", and she looked very good at talking, but whoever believed such polite words would be a fool.

The princess left a few familiar ladies of the family to speak, and the others all withdrew from the Zhangtai Palace, and scattered in twos and threes to find their acquaintances.

Although the county lord of Yuanheng does not have the support of the queen mother, she is still Wei Shicheng's wife, the eldest wife of the Wei family, and will not be left out in the cold. gave the sisters a look of "keeping to themselves", and then talked to a few noble ladies.

Wei Jin'er affectionately pulled Li Qingyi: "Sister, let's go to Quyan Lake and have a look!" ”

Before Li Qingyi could answer, Wei Baozhu said, "Eldest sister wants to go to the Wenhui, right?" ”

Wei Baozhu has always acted thoughtfully, afraid that Li Qingyi would not know what Wenhui was, so he turned his head and explained to her: "Wenhui is also an unwritten rule at the Fanghua banquet, just participate in it, the female relatives and the male guests are separated by Quyan Lake, if there are good poems out, there will be people who pass them back and forth in a boat, and finally gather them in one place and send them to the princess, and if you win, you can get the lottery set by the princess." ”

The ladies in Beijing have their own talents, and the sons of good literature often use this to judge their superiority and inferiority, and they can compare themselves with ugly people every time.

Of course, Li Qingyi knew about this, and also knew that Wei Jin'er wanted to take the opportunity to promote her talent, so she smiled and said, "Since Sister Jin'er wants to go, let's go and have a look." ”

The main purpose of the Fanghua banquet is to enjoy the flowers, so the water pavilions and pavilions all over the palace are arranged, and there are pleasant scenery of gentleness and happiness everywhere, and everyone can rest and enjoy the scenery and talk everywhere.

When the group arrived at Quyan Lake, there were already many ladies.

On the opposite side of Quyan Lake, there are young men in fine clothes dressed in brocade, and the sound of talking comes here from time to time with the wind.

The ladies and sons looked at each other across the lake, vaguely visible, but they couldn't see it really, and they had a little interest out of thin air.

Li Qingyi followed Wei Jin'er and the others into the Water Pavilion, and attracted the attention of others.

It's really Li Qingyi's appearance is too outstanding, even if she doesn't care about dressing up today, between her expectations, it seems to be glowing from the inside out, and her every move is radiant.

"Jin'er, I don't know who this is?"

A familiar lady stepped forward to ask, but Wei Jin'er did not shy away from it, "This is Miss Li from Xuandehou Mansion." ”

"Xuandehou Mansion ......"

The questioner was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was a mansion in the capital that had been vacant for a long time and occupied almost the entire alley, and there was a plaque of Xuandehou's Mansion hanging on it?

It's just that the Xuandehou Mansion has long been ruined, and there are only a few old servants in the mansion taking care of it, why did such an outstanding Li girl suddenly appear?

A few people in the crowd who knew about the old affairs of the Xuandehou Mansion couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Could it be the Li family that the county lord of Yuanheng married back then?" ”

"Ah, isn't she ......?"

Wei Jin'er held Li Qingyi's hand affectionately, without any shying away from it, and then said in the first half of the sentence, "It's my sister." ”

Almost everyone in the Water Pavilion was shocked by her words.

The Wei Mansion is now thriving, as the mother of the Wei family, the past of the county lord of Yuanheng has always been talked about by various prefectures, and the juniors have also heard about the old things of the Li family.

Moreover, a few days ago, the capital was full of rumors that the county lord of Yuanheng kowtowed and repented in the Li family ancestral hall.

The past of the Li family was re-turned out and chewed by the people in the capital.

Many people are speculating about the purpose of the county lord of Yuanheng to bring Li Qingyi to the capital.

Now the legendary characters suddenly appear in front of everyone's eyes, which can't help but make everyone feel unreal.

Moreover, this eldest girl Li who followed the lord of Yuanheng to Beijing to live in the Wei family seems to have been courteous and favored by the Wei family!

Li Qingyi smiled and was very calm, "Everyone is polite." ”

Seeing this, the little girls returned the salute one after another.

Wei Jin'er couldn't hold back the jealousy in her heart and said with a smile: "Sister, are you interested in participating in today's literary meeting?" ”

Li Qingyi held Wei Jin'er back, with a doting smile of "You are good to me, I am better to you", and said: "Since my sister likes it, then my sister will accompany you to try." ”

Wei Jin'er looked at Li Qingyi's expression, her face was almost tense, "It's ......"

The other people around couldn't hide their surprise when they saw that the two were so close, and they gathered together in twos and threes, pretending to compose poems, but in fact they were talking about the two.

"This half-sister has it in every family, but the half-sister has never seen it, can it really be so close?"

"That half-sister is different, and she was born with a dislike! This half-brother is the same, the two of them came out of the womb of a mother, and they are both from the same mother's belly, so they must be different. ”

"I can't see it, it's not a father, it's not a family, and I didn't grow up in the same place since I was a child, how can I have such a good relationship? Besides, the original partner and the step-born are also descendants, aren't they fighting fiercely? ”

"We've seen it's not a mother, it's not a father, I really don't know what it's like......"

The little girls are messing around and messing with themselves.

Someone said: "Since Lord Wei can accept the remarriage of Lord Yuanheng and Li, he should also be able to accept the daughter she gave birth to before, right?" ”

"What you said is not right, Miss Li doesn't care if she is accepted by the Wei family, right? The surname is Li, and there is no need to rely on the Wei family. ”

"Then the Li family's court has fallen to this point, and she doesn't rely on the Wei family, what is she doing in the Wei family?"

"Not necessarily, you see that her rules and etiquette are not bad, she must be well-educated......"
