Chapter 83: Gossip
Because it was the prince's wedding, the vassal kings who were far away were also allowed to return to Beijing.
Because the first emperor liked beauty, the princes under his knees were also the most among the emperors of the founding dynasties of Great Xia, not counting those who died young, there were nearly twenty adult princes.
And how fierce the competition for the crown prince is when these princes grow up can be imagined.
As the champion of the previous competition, the first emperor seemed to feel that this was normal, so he never made a prince and let them fight casually.
And this directly led to the death of a number of excellent and capable princes in the fight with each other. It wasn't until the first emperor was about to die that he suddenly reacted, and there were not many sons left!
So the honest and simple Emperor Jing and Emperor stood out, there was no way, the quality of the remaining princes was too poor, and they could only be taller among the short.
Therefore, many people think that Emperor Jing and Emperor are definitely the first person to deserve to pick up leaks, and some people think that Emperor Jing and Emperor look honest and honest, but in fact, his mind is deeper than anyone else. The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is used to the extreme.
When several people saw Shen Mingjiao, Gu is eyes lit up, and one of the men with merry eyebrows and eyes stared at Shen Mingjiao directly, and the evil thoughts in his eyes were undisguised.
"What a Peugeot beauty!"
He is the king of Chu, and he is the only son who inherited the good beauty of the first emperor, but the first emperor except for this shortcoming. The rest of the talents and strategies are all excellent. But the king of Chu avoided these advantages very accurately, in addition to being lustful, he was still lustful.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden pain in one arm, and the King of Chu turned his head angrily, and looked at Shangfeng Li Sheng's eyes as cold as a blade, he was so frightened that he shrank his neck in disdain.
Princess Yu stepped forward and greeted warmly: "Hello little uncles and brothers!" ”
"Why did you come back so early, is the previous ceremony over......"
Huai Wang, who has the most gentle personality, replied: "It's not over yet, the imperial brother asked us to come over and entertain the officials of the court and China who came to the banquet......"
Shen Mingjiao's gaze couldn't help but look at King Yu, who was standing on the side with his head slightly bowed. is also wearing a vermilion python robe, worn on him, not only does it not show royal luxury, but it seems that the whole person is completely suppressed by this clothes.
Compared with the rest of the princes, his appearance was too ordinary. This is definitely an outlier among the princes of the royal family, especially the first emperor.
Why? Because it is said that the first emperor was handsome, coupled with good beauty, it was difficult for the child born to look good, and even the most unobtrusive King Chu had a good look.
And the birth of King Yu was just an accident, the story is also very old-fashioned, it is said that when the first emperor was drunk in the palace, the black light was blind, and he was lucky to drag a palace maid over casually.
When I woke up the next day and saw the appearance of the palace maid, I was disgusted and didn't eat for several days, and I felt that I was defiled.
Just in case, I directly ordered the grandmother who specializes in this way to rub the back of the palace maid for a long time, and what flowed out.
It's a pity that the palace maid finally had it.
After King Yu was born, he not only looked ordinary, but also had an idiot, and the first emperor naturally disliked it in every way.
When he said goodbye, he directly chose a daughter of the seven-grade county order for him.
But who would have thought that such a transparent figure who was so cowardly that he was almost ignored would finally force the palace to rebel and almost wash the entire palace in blood.
It can only be said that people should not be disgraced!
Maybe Shen Mingjiao's gaze stayed for a long time, King Yu, who was hanging his eyes, quietly raised his head, and when he saw Shen Mingjiao's face, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
Princess Yu glared at him with disgust, obviously feeling that he was very embarrassed like this.
Feng Lisheng stepped forward to block everyone's sight, and said lightly: "The hour is almost up, all the imperial brothers will go to the front to entertain the guests together." ”
After a few people left, Princess Yu came over with a smile: "I really can't see that Xiao Sixteen is so interested in you!" ”
"But it's no wonder that my younger brother and sister look like this, and a man can't hold it when he sees it......"
Shen Mingjiao still didn't want to deal with the other party, Princess Yu didn't care at all, and continued to take care of herself and chatter.
Just like that, she went all the way to the lounge where the female dependents were, Shen Mingjiao took a look and saw Mrs. Tong sitting on the side, and Tong Yuyao, who was smiling, but she didn't see Cui Lingling.
And Gu Danxue also didn't come. She didn't know any of the ladies in the hall, so she planned to find a random place to sit quietly. Partial Sheng was followed by a very capable Princess Yu.
Princess Yu followed her line of sight, and then lowered her voice and gossiped:
"That's the girl from Brother Tong's hometown, let me tell you, I heard that he will be married soon?"
"Do you know who she's going to marry? is the little grandfather of the Lu Guogong Mansion who won the show at the age of ten and has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he is the maiden family of the former crown princess..."
Speaking of this, she realized that something was wrong even if she didn't have the heart anymore, and hurriedly stopped talking. turned to continue to gossip about the family affairs of the two families:
"I heard that the little grandfather has been traveling outside, and when he saw that he was old enough to get married, he refused to come back, or the Duchess of Lu Guo pretended to be sick to trick people back......"
Shen Mingjiao listened quietly, but what she thought in her heart was that it seemed that it was not far from Cui Lingling who had completely figured out how to get rid of the Tong family.
At this time, the hall was suddenly silent for a moment, and then the whispers of several noble ladies around him were heard.
"Why is she embarrassed to come......"
"If I had her, she would have died of shame......"
"Shhhh......h
Shen Mingjiao followed everyone's line of sight and saw that it was Xu Ningyue who walked in.
It's just that... is different from the arrogant and domineering in the past, at this time, her face is pale, her eyes are gloomy, and she is wearing a plain collared gown, not like she is here to attend a wedding, but like she is coming to mourn.
She was secretly guessing what was wrong with Xu Ningyue? Princess Yu, a gossip enthusiast, began to broadcast in a timely manner.
Don't look at Princess Yu just a few days after she returned to Beijing, but in this capital, she has treasured everything from the secrets of various wealthy families to which weddings and funerals.
"This matter has to start with the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Yasukuni Mansion......"
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand to interrupt her, and finally spoke: "Okay, I was on the scene that day, you can directly tell about Xu Ningyue!" ”
Princess Yu was obviously very happy when she heard this: "My younger brother and sister are finally willing to take care of me!" ”
Shen Mingjiao said helplessly: "That's no way, even if I don't care, the seventh sister-in-law won't leave!" ”
Anyway, when the wedding is over, it will be time for the feudal kings to return to their fiefdoms.
Seeing Shen Mingjiao's cooperation, Princess Yu spoke more energetically:
"Although the Yasukuni Mansion told the ladies present at the time not to spread the matter, how can this kind of thing be covered! In less than half a day, Pei Ning's ridiculous scandal with a man at his grandmother's birthday banquet spread all over the upper circles of the capital......"
"Pei Ning's reputation has plummeted, and those ladies who have wanted to marry him are secretly rejoicing, and guess what in the end......"
Shen Mingjiao asked cooperatively: "What's wrong?" ”
