Chapter 105: Invitation
Sheng Qingyuan played with the invitation card in his hand, thoughtfully.
Shen Zhao made her a cup of tea and asked, "Is an invitation so good-looking?" You've been watching it for a while."
Sheng Qingyuan put down the invitation: "This is the queen's cousin, the prime minister's daughter sent me a place, what a precious invitation."
Listening to Sheng Qingyuan's words, Shen Zhao said with a smile: "No matter how precious it is, it is not as important as letting you drink one more sip of water."
"Oh." Sheng Qingyuan obediently took the teacup and drank it obediently.
After drinking a glass, Sheng Qingyuan asked Shen Zhao, "Why did you come to the palace?"
"Of course it's for you, or for the land. If you enter the palace, you won't let people talk to me in advance, then the palace is a Longtan tiger's den, how can you let me rest assured that you can go alone." Shen Zhao glared at her lightly, but there was no lethality.
"I have a sense of proportion in my heart, you see, am I not doing this well? The queen dared to let me go to the palace in front of so many people, and the tone of the eunuch at that time was also very unkind, believe it or not, if I said that I was not feeling well and would not go to the medical heart hall tomorrow, the first one to be anxious must be the queen." Sheng Qingyuan said confidently.
Then, before Shen Zhao could speak, Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly added: "Of course, the moment I saw you appear, I was really not scared at all, I felt very relieved, and I also felt very, very happy."
Listening to Sheng Qingyuan's obvious words to please herself, Shen Zhao gently pinched her nose angrily: "You."
Shen Zhao asked, "You say, that eunuch has a bad attitude towards you?"
Sheng Qingyuan spread his hands and said: "They all think that my background is not good, so it is normal to look down on me, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, at least the people will not take these to heart, I haven't said anything, the people have already helped me say a lot, you didn't see it at that time, that eunuch listened to the words of the people, and his face was ugly."
Looking at a girl with a big heart like a child, Shen Zhao smiled helplessly.
She could not take it to heart, but he couldn't.
What happened in the Medical Heart Hall soon reached the ears of the queen, and some people in the market tried to associate the attitude of the eunuch with the queen.
After all, Sheng Qingyuan is a princess, no matter how bad her background is, she is also a princess on the royal jade plate, where is a slave who can be bullied, and the slave dares to be so presumptuous, which shows what kind of person the master behind it is.
As a result, there was more discussion and dissatisfaction with the queen in the market.
Under Shen Zhao's intentional arrangement, even Chu Xuanjin was not spared.
Chu Xuanjin learned that she was being talked about by those ant people in the market because of the queen's lax discipline, so she immediately came to Fengyi Palace to reprimand her for a good time, and threatened to go to another concubine's bedroom in front of the queen.
The queen was angry and sad, and she didn't like Sheng Qingyuan even more, so she even found the eunuch and asked someone to beat him to death to vent her anger.
That's all for later.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at the invitation on the table and thought for a while, "If I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, will it be inappropriate?"
"Is this the prime minister's daughter, or is it the queen's cousin who invited you, and how much does it have to do with you?" Shen Zhao said casually.
Sheng Qingyuan raised his lips and smiled slightly: "It makes sense, then I agreed."
"It's okay to come, but it's going to be delayed, because she has to take care of a few patients on hand first?" Cheng Zixian's brows furrowed, "In her eyes, those patients are more important than me?"
The maid's head hung very low, and she wanted to bury herself in the ground, and she mustered up the courage to say, "It seems, it seems that this is what it means."
"How dare she?!" Cheng Zixian angrily threw the teacup next to her to the ground.
With this loss, the teacup almost smashed into the feet of the prime minister's wife, who had just entered the door, startling her: "Eh, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Zixian didn't expect the prime minister's wife to come in suddenly, and after being stunned for a moment, she quickly got up and helped her.
"I just heard what you said, but are you angry that Princess Jing wants to postpone the future?"
The Prime Minister's wife asked her.
Cheng Zixian said with a look of grievance: "Mother, if it's just Princess Jing who I invited myself, no matter how she puts up a fight, I don't care. However, that day in the palace, she clearly saw me beside my cousin, and she also knew my identity, but she was still so arrogant, I felt that she did not put the Prime Minister's Mansion and her cousin queen in her eyes, and I was angry about this."
The Prime Minister's wife patted her hand lightly and said to her, "Look at you, like a child, why are you still so angry? You have been in your grandfather's house for a long time, and you don't know much about this princess. But my mother has been in contact with her before, this princess is not an ordinary woman, she does have the people in her heart."
Cheng Zixian didn't expect that her mother, who had always been above the top, would help others speak, and she was still a woman from the countryside.
The Prime Minister's wife looked at Cheng Zixian's stunned appearance, and said to her with a light smile: "I believe that what the princess said about a few patients who need to be taken care of first is true, and I think those patients are quite seriously ill. You and the princess can eat a meal at any time, but for a seriously ill patient, at this time, maybe a negligence will lead to death."
Cheng Zixian pursed her lips and said, "Mother, who are you helping? I haven't seen you for a while, why are you still talking to others."
Seeing Cheng Zixian's jealous appearance, the prime minister's wife smiled again and said, "My stupid daughter, of course I'm helping you, I'm here to help you not think about it, the princess is a good person, if you can have more contact with her, my mother will approve of it."
This approval is not a good thing for Cheng Zixian.
In the past, her mother's attitude towards her close friends had always been cold, but she didn't engrave the words "you don't associate with them" on her face.
This time, he changed his tune.
Seeing that Cheng Zixian didn't say anything, the prime minister's wife said to her: "The princess has the mind that a housewife should have, and she has the people in her heart, so she only came to the capital for a short time, but in the community, many people love her quite much. In the future, if you want to marry into a good family, and you can do this, then your position in your in-laws' family will also stand."
"Mother, why do you suddenly talk about these things, I'm not in a hurry to get married." Cheng Zixian's face was a little blushing.
The Prime Minister's wife smiled and said, "Okay, I won't talk about you, since you are going to feast on the princess, then you have to prepare well, don't neglect her, it's a pity, if I said it earlier, I will go to worship the gods on another day with Mrs. Jiang."
As she spoke, the Prime Minister's wife sighed rather wistfully.
Cheng Zixian's face was not obvious, but the hand holding the handkerchief couldn't help but exert force.
She didn't believe that a woman from the countryside could be so good.
"Go, go to the Ping'an Marquis Mansion and send an invitation." Cheng Zixian thought about it, and asked people to send Jiang Niannian an invitation.
It's just the two of them, it's so boring, it's going to have to be something lively.
Although Jiang Niannian didn't like Cheng Zixian, she couldn't stand the fact that she was the prime minister's daughter and the queen's cousin, and she heard that Sheng Qingyuan would also go, so she agreed.
On the day of the banquet, Sheng Qingyuan was wearing a dress that was easy to work on the inside, and a coat was put on the outside, which was very simple.
"The princess seems to be particularly fond of such outfits?" After the salute, Cheng Zixian asked Sheng Qingyuan with a light smile.
Sheng Qingyuan said, "There are a lot of things to do on weekdays, so it's more convenient to dress like this."
Jiang Niannian glanced at it: "I think this is very good, if it weren't for the mother-in-law and father at home who didn't let me, I would have liked to wear men's clothes, how convenient it is, and I don't have to wear these bead hairpins, Ding Ling is a big one, and the trouble is dead."
As he spoke, Jiang Niannian shook his head in disgust, and the steps on his head swayed immediately, and there was a sound between the collisions of the beads.
"It's true that you are the most unusual lady in the capital." Cheng Zixian pursed her lips and smiled.
Jiang Niannian pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
When she was stupid, she didn't hear what she meant, didn't she?
Do you say that she doesn't look like a noble girl at all?
Sheng Qingyuan said with a faint smile: "In a short life, being able to live a little more freely is the life attitude that many people dream of all their lives."
Listening to Sheng Qingyuan's words, Jiang Niannian had two more points of affection for her in his heart.
Although the smile on Cheng Zixian's face did not decrease, the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but exert force.
What's going on with this Jiang Niannian?
She wasn't rejected by Shen Zhao in front of so many people, but it was Sheng Qingyuan who robbed her of her marriage, but why did she meet Sheng Qingyuan, but she didn't seem to be unhappy at all? What are you happy to echo Sheng Qingyuan?
Cheng Zixian took a sip of tea and said with a tentative smile: "I heard that because of your marriage before, Your Majesty felt a little indebted to you, so I wanted to point you to another good marriage, I don't know if you have a son in the picture?"
As soon as Jiang Niannian heard this, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled, and he subconsciously glanced at Sheng Qingyuan with a little displeasure.
So far, she admires Sheng Qingyuan's style of acting, but this does not mean that because of Sheng Qingyuan, she was rejected from marriage and became the laughing stock of the capital, and the matter can pass so easily.
Seeing the change in Jiang Niannian's eyes, the corners of Cheng Zixian's lips raised slightly, and she continued to drink tea leisurely.
Sheng Qingyuan put her little action in his eyes and chuckled.
"I really haven't met any eye-catching sons, the princess fell in love with His Royal Highness King Jing at once, this vision is excellent, why don't you recommend it to me by the princess?" Jiang Niannian asked with a hint of mockery.
"Yes, but I don't know if you like it or not." Sheng Qingyuan said with a shallow smile.
As he spoke, Sheng Qingyuan began to seriously talk about a few sons of families in the capital who were indeed good in character and appearance.
"The Yan Gongzi you just mentioned, isn't his family all in the Hanlin Academy? It stands to reason that what he likes should also be the Four Books and Five Classics, and you say that he also likes to dance with knives and guns, aren't you lying to me?"
Jiang Niannian didn't care about it at first, but seeing that Sheng Qingyuan introduced it so seriously, he slowly listened to it.
"But he has a cousin who chose to join the army, and his cousin's family is also a martial artist, and he has seen a lot, and it is inevitable that he will be a little interested, just like you, the reason why you like swords and the like so much is not also because there is a general living near your house?" Sheng Qingyuan said with a faint smile.
"There is a bit of truth in that, it doesn't seem bad to look at it like this, then ......" Jiang Niannian wanted to continue asking, but Cheng Zixian couldn't help coughing anymore.
"Why are you coughing when you're so good? If you are sick, go to the doctor, and I will talk to the princess elsewhere." Jiang Niannian said bluntly.
Cheng Zixian: "............"
