Chapter 699: There is really no overture in the world for no reason
Changqiu Palace.
A girl with an arrogant and domineering spirit from the inside out was furious at Cheng Shaoshang who was squatting at the door of the side hall:
"Where did you come from, you dare to eavesdrop."
When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, many happy moods after entering the palace were instantly destroyed, and he said:
"I didn't eavesdrop, but your voice was too loud, and I had to listen if I didn't want to."
The Lady was even more furious:
"Bold, dare to be presumptuous in the Changqiu Palace, come here."
As soon as she gave an order, many palace maids came to her side to wait for the dispatch.
"Drag this lowly woman who doesn't know how to be humble down and be reprimanded."
"Yes."
Just when Cheng Shaoshang was unwilling to be restrained and wanted to make any moves, a sentence came from not far away:
"The five princesses are kept."
When everyone looked around, they saw a dignified and gentle girl coming.
She bowed unhurriedly:
"Fifth princess, this is the lady of the Cheng family of the Marquis of Quling, who entered the palace for the first time and did not know the rules of the palace."
"General Cheng is a newly promoted general, and he made great achievements in the battle of Lonely City, and was named the Marquis of Quling by the Holy Lord.
The maiden was the fifth princess, her brows furrowed, as if she remembered something, and said mockingly:
"It turns out that you are the lady of the Cheng family, but I didn't expect that the four emperor brothers, who have regarded the girls of the capital city as nothing, will end up falling in love with you as the daughter of a military family."
As she spoke, as if she remembered many unpleasant memories, she couldn't help but shudder, and continued with an embarrassed face:
"That's it, I won't bother with you."
With that, she hurried away with a group of maidservants.
Although Cheng Shaoshang was slightly surprised, he immediately stood up and thanked him:
"Thank you so much, Sister, it's really scary for the nobles in this palace to start a fire."
The dignified lady led her to the palace banquet and introduced herself:
"My name is Luo Jitong, my father Changshui Captain Luo Zhu, a few years ago I was selected by the queen to be the companion of the fifth princess, sister Shaoshang, you just call me Sister Jitong."
"Okay, Sister Jitong," Cheng Shaoshang asked curiously:
"The saint and the queen are both amiable, why is this fifth princess so domineering?"
Luo Jitong said slowly:
"He is the youngest daughter of the saint, born after the world was first decided, when he was young, he did not endure hardships as his brothers and sisters, and when he grew up, he was clothed and fed, so he was naturally pampered."
"Over the years, I have been afraid of the four princes, and I don't dare to provoke half a point, so I used the fifth princess to suppress my anger and choose to calm down."
Cheng Shaoshang was in a trance, but he was still puzzled:
"No wonder the fifth princess just wanted to punish me with her front foot, and left in a hurry with her back foot. The four princes have always lived in a simple place, how could the fifth princess be so afraid? ”
Luo Jitong said with a smile:
"Sister Shaoshang has a great relationship with the four princes, so in the future, you will ask in person, and the palace rules are strict, I don't dare to talk about the nobles in the palace more, so as to cause a big disaster for the family."
Xuanming Temple.
In the main hall, except for Yang Jiao, who has not yet arrived, the crown prince and the rest of the princes have already been seated, and in the side hall, in addition to the three princesses, the crown princess and the princesses, as well as the county lord and the queen's nephew, the queen, have also been seated.
Suddenly, the fifth princess smiled and said:
"In the past family banquets, wasn't the third princess the most active, why hasn't she arrived today, shouldn't she be trained in Yongle Palace again?"
The second princess, who has always been gentle and polite, said kindly:
"Today, the fourth brother came to Yongle Palace early, thinking that she was with the fourth brother."
The gentle and amiable crown princess didn't want the scene to be-for-tat, so she smiled and said:
"Who doesn't know that if the fourth brother comes to the family banquet, he must have stepped on it."
At this moment, Luo Jitong took Cheng Shaoshang into the side hall and motioned for her to sit down.
A trace of confusion appeared in Cheng Shaoshang's eyes, and he only felt that as soon as he entered the table, everyone looked at him.
"Presumably you are the sister of Shaoshang, now that I see it, I feel like I am at home with my sister at first sight." The second princess looked at Cheng Shaoshang with some surprise, and chuckled:
"My sister can call me the second sister directly, since I was a child, I have never seen Ziyan take such good care of other girls."
"You must know that early this morning, he sent someone to my house and specially asked me to take care of my sister more."
When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he immediately understood, and said in his heart:
"There is really no goodwill for no reason in the world."
A sweet smile appeared on her face, and she shouted:
"Second sister."
The second princess is very close to the Tao:
"The fourth brother's temperament is the same as that of his mother, he has always liked to be quiet, in the future, you must ask him to move around more, if he is really bored, it is better to come to my house to sit."
Cheng Shaoshang nodded heavily.
It was at this time that the voice of the third princess sounded outside the hall:
"Brother Four Emperors, the palace banquet is about to start, you and I have just arrived, if my father arrives early, and then blame it, you must not drag me into the water, I can't afford to call my father all day long."
Then, Yang Jiao's faintly smiling voice sounded:
"If you make noise in my ears again, believe it or not, the gold, silver and jewels in your house will disappear in a short time."
After a few breaths, the third princess walked into the side hall with an expressionless face.
Seeing this, the fifth princess couldn't help laughing:
"Third sister, if I were you, I would definitely have to argue with the fourth emperor brother again, but I would like to see if I can really empty all the gold, silver and jewelry in the house."
"Also, dare to ask why you didn't bring the Xuan's concubine to the family banquet today, was it because the third sister and the Xuan's concubine had another dispute, or because Zisheng would come today, the third sister left the Xuan's concubine in the mansion?"
Not to be outdone, the third princess said:
"Why don't you go to the Four Emperor Brothers and say a few more words, I also want to see if the Four Emperor Brothers will let you run around the Changqiu Palace again."
"I seem to remember the most time for my fifth sister, when I ran a full 21 laps, I was so tired that I almost lost half my life, and I lay on the bed for more than ten days before I fully recovered."
The five princesses were angry:
"How good are you, didn't you once jump around Yongle Palace for seventeen laps, and after a full decade, you didn't need to be helped by others to walk."
The third princess sneered:
"It's better than you running twenty-one laps, and instead of worrying about the affairs of other people's couples, the fifth sister should think more about what to do with the head of your house, if you don't disperse them quickly, I'm afraid that in a few days, even the people in the capital will know."
After hearing this, the fifth princess was speechless angrily:
"You"
Cheng Shaoshang, who was sitting on the very edge, listened with relish, and knew it even more in his heart:
"No wonder Ziyan has such a great deterrent effect on the third and fifth princesses."
Seeing that they were so-for-tat, the second princess immediately showed her sisterly demeanor:
"Today's family banquet, everyone has to say a word, and you can't hold back people, if you can't hold it down, when the father and queen mother come later, you can say the current words in front of them, and see if you are panicked."
When the two girls heard this, they stopped talking and didn't say anything more.
