Chapter 126: Virtue is not matched
Yan Chuling arranged it in the post house, and then sent invitations to the ladies of each mansion, inviting them to the banquet.
To everyone's surprise, she even invited Sheng Qingyuan.
Naturally, they had heard about the things at the banquet.
She wanted to enter King Jing's Mansion, and the last thing she wanted to see her should be Sheng Qingyuan, but she dared to invite Sheng Qingyuan.
Several people who have a good relationship with Shu Ya on weekdays, after receiving the invitation, couldn't help but ask Shu Ya what she meant.
"Yaya, you also received the invitation from the princess of the primordial spirit, right? Are you going to go?"
"I'm not feeling well these days, so I'm not going." Shu Ya took a sip of tea lightly and said.
But several people who know her well know that Shu Ya is angry.
"But after all, she is the princess of Yanbei, and the princess personally invited, if she doesn't go, isn't it good?" One of Shu Ya's best friends couldn't help but ask.
"She's a princess, but if I'm not feeling well, it's not feeling well, if I force myself to go, it's one thing if my body can stand it, if I bring illness to a princess of noble status, then wouldn't my sin be even greater?" Shu Ya said with a light snort.
Several people looked at Shu Ya, who was obviously very good and her face was still very ruddy, and they all knew what she meant.
She was holding grievances for Sheng Qingyuan, so she didn't want to give a look at the banquet held by Yan Chuling.
A few people said, "That's right, in fact, I happened to be here these days, and it was when I was uncomfortable, and I really couldn't spare the energy to participate."
"I estimate that it's only been these two days, and every time the menstrual event comes, I always have to feel bad, so let's take care of it quietly."
Several others expressed the same sentiment.
They also like Sheng Qingyuan, and at first they thought that she was from the countryside, and if they stayed with her often, they would make themselves cheaper.
But after getting along, they felt that Sheng Qingyuan not only did not have the rustic atmosphere from the countryside, but felt that she had a faint sense of nobility.
But this touch of luxury does not make people feel that she is very distant, what she does, and her daily attitude towards others, also make people feel very comfortable, and they can't help but want to be close.
Besides, looking at the narration of some of the stories she gave to Zhuxinfang, you can roughly see what kind of person she is.
Even Shu Ya, who has always been above the top, likes Sheng Qingyuan so much, which shows its charm.
Except for Shu Ya and a few people who purely wanted to hold grievances for Sheng Qingyuan, there were not many other people who were willing to participate in the banquet held by Yan Chuling.
They weren't afraid that they would get angry when they went to Sheng Qingyuan.
And this kind of princess who involves other countries may be caught by pigtails if she is not careful, and then use this as an excuse to charge her father or brother with something.
It's better to be cautious.
Therefore, not many people end up going to the post house.
Yan Chuling seemed to have expected such a situation early on, and he didn't see any anger on his face, but chatted casually with the people who came very hospitablely.
The people who came, although they came, did not dare to stay longer, and left after a while.
The banquet lasted only an hour from the departure of the first guest to the departure of the last guest.
"This group of people is so ignorant! Princess, you invited them personally, and they dared to be so faceless?!! Hongmei couldn't help but get angry and said angrily.
Yan Chuling was also very angry, but also helpless: "What can I do about this? After all, I'm just a princess from another country, and it's normal for them to be reluctant to come."
Hongmei said: "The slave maid heard that those who can't come on the initiative seem to have a good relationship with the princess Jing who came from the countryside, and in today's situation, could it be that the princess Jing made trouble?"
Yan Chuling was very surprised: "What you said is true?".
Hongmei gritted her teeth, looking like this is the case, and said, "
It must be her, otherwise how could they not want to give you face, after all, you are a princess."
Yan Chuling clenched her fists, "If that's the case, then she's really hateful!"
"Hmm!" Hongmei nodded vigorously and said, "However, although she is a princess, she is just a girl from the countryside, the princess doesn't have to be afraid of her, she must give her some color."
Yan Chuling frowned slightly and asked her, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Hongmei thought about it, lowered her voice and offered Yan Chuling a plan.
Yan Chuling's eyes deepened when he looked at Hongmei: "You are really smart."
Hongmei immediately lowered her head and said, "The slave maid can't bear to watch the princess being wronged."
Yan Chuling said lightly: "Your method is good, but you can't rush it now, after all, we have only arrived in the capital of Great Zhou, and many things have to wait and see."
Seeing that Yan Chuling wanted to slow down, Hongmei looked angry, but she could only listen to her.
You'll have to find a chance for her to do it.
Just when Hongmei was still worried about what time was better, Cheng Zixian sent someone to send an invitation.
Hongmei had learned that the relationship between Cheng Zixian and Sheng Qingyuan was not in harmony before, and now she saw Cheng Zixian's invitation, but she was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the invitation to find Yan Chuling.
"Princess, Miss Cheng, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has sent you an invitation to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." Hongmei said excitedly.
Yan Chuling was slightly stunned, "The young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Hmm!"
Yan Chuling took the invitation and looked at it carefully.
Hongmei had already begun to rummage through the clothes she had brought, "Which outfit does Princess Tomorrow want to wear?" It's better to just be this red, festive, the princess is white-skinned, and she looks good in red."
"Just wear that pale yellow outfit." Yan Chuling said.
"But this red set shows the dignity of the princess even more." Hongmei said dissatisfied.
Yan Chuling said lightly: "The young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who I will only see tomorrow is so grand, the red set is so grand, naturally it must be left for when there are many people to wear it, so that it can be a blockbuster."
Hongmei thought about it and felt reasonable, so she put away the red skirt and took out the pale yellow dress that Yan Chuling said.
In the evening, Hongmei went to rest early as always, leaving the night duty to Hongqin.
Hongqin said to Yan Chuling: "Princess, the slave maid has inquired clearly, Miss Cheng of the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to murder Princess Jing's life a few days ago, but she hurt herself by eating the evil fruit, and now it is said that her legs will not get better. When most of the nobles of the family wanted to avoid suspicion, she took the initiative to invite, afraid that she wanted to unite with the princess to make a move against Princess Jing."
Yan Chuling listened to Hongqin's advice and smiled lightly, "I know that this will definitely not be that simple."
"You say this, I also have a number in my heart, tomorrow, you go with me, Hongmei...... She'll wake up tomorrow and find herself sick and unable to go with my money." Yan Chuling said softly to Hongqin.
"Yes, slave understands." Hongqin respectfully responded.
On the second day, Yan Chuling went to the Prime Minister's Mansion as promised, and saw Cheng Zixian, who was in a wheelchair and did not look very good.
Cheng Zixian has not come out to see anyone for a long time since she was injured in her foot.
Even if she tried her best to dress up today, when she saw Yan Chuling's good-looking and healthy face, she couldn't hide the anger around her.
"I've seen Princess Chuling." Cheng Zixian quickly hid her jealousy in her heart and bowed her head towards Yan Chuling.
"I can't stand up for the time being, so please don't be surprised." Cheng Zixian almost gritted her teeth and said this.
Yan Chuling maintained a faint smile on his face: "Miss Cheng's words are polite, I brought you some small gifts, and I hope you don't dislike it." Miss Cheng is still young now, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe when she wakes up tomorrow, Miss Cheng's legs will be better."
Although I knew that Yan Chuling's illness could not happen, but always
It's also a good thing to return, Cheng Zixian is still happy when she listens to it.
The two chatted for a while before entering the whole, and Cheng Zixian said, "I heard that the princess came to Da Zhou this time to marry the regent?"
Yan Chuling's face was a little embarrassed, "Marriage matters, where is it my turn to say whether I want to or not, everything is just my father's arrangement."
Listening to Yan Chuling's words, Cheng Zixian's hand couldn't help but clench the handkerchief tightly.
She wanted to marry King Jing, but neither the queen nor the rest of the family agreed with her decision.
If they could support her from the beginning, then where is the current Princess Jing and that Sheng Qingyuan?
"With such a noble status as a princess, she is a talented woman with King Jing, but it's a pity that there is already someone in the position of Princess Jing now, and King Jing still likes her quite a lot." Cheng Zixian said very regretfully.
Yan Chuling also echoed: "Yes, at the banquet, I saw that King Jing was good to Princess Jing, but it was really enviable."
Cheng Zixian sneered: "There's nothing to envy, Sheng Qingyuan can be so favored by King Jing, it must be some unsightly means, what can she do as a wild girl from the countryside."
Yan Chuling didn't echo Cheng Zixian's words, just picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly.
At the banquet, she observed this princess Jing from the countryside, whether she looks or has a temperament, she can't be as simple as a wild girl from the countryside.
And she asked Hongqin to learn some things about this princess Jing, and knew how she expanded her business step by step from a rural girl to some important cities in Dajin.
She has opened a total of four shops in the capital, and the business of these four shops is very prosperous, and her reputation and reputation in the market are also very good.
Cheng Zixian didn't notice Yan Chuling's abnormality, and continued to say to her, "The princess and King Jing are a match made in heaven, and she is not worthy of Sheng Qingyuan at all."
"However, they have been married for a long time, and King Jing looks very fond of Princess Jing." Yan Chuling said.
Cheng Zixian curled her lips and said, "It's man-made. As for a person like Sheng Qingyuan, what good can he be, I believe that as long as the princess is willing to work hard, King Jing will soon know how good the princess is and who is the most suitable princess Jing. If the princess believes in me, I am willing to give her advice."
Yan Chuling looked at her meaningfully: "However, the two of us have never known each other, why does Miss Cheng want to help me like this?"
"It's just that I can't get used to seeing some people who are not worthy of morality." Cheng Zixian sneered.
"However, the twisted melon is not sweet." Yan Chuling said.
"Sweet or not, you have to try it to find out." Cheng Zixian insisted.
"What Miss Cheng said is very true, but I don't know what Miss Cheng said?" Yan Chuling asked her with a shallow smile.
