Chapter XII

The banquet of the eldest princess of Guangping, except for the descendants of Emperor Kangde, all the ladies who can come are those who have orders in the capital and have a good face.

They also brought their daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, and unmarried girls in the family. sat down one by one in the order of his own house, and such a large venue was actually full.

Wen Jing rarely appeared in the boudoir, few people had seen the new princess, and when they heard the waiter's message, everyone looked in that direction.

Wen Jing was dressed in a bright red silver thread pile flower skirt, a silver transparent spring shirt outside, combed a fairy bun, and jewelry without a hair crown, it was a set of gemstone heads with a few red peony velvet flowers. Such a gorgeous color does not seem to be dominant, and the red sets off her like a spring, and her skin is fair and dazzling.

There was a momentary pause in the slightly noisy voices present, Wen Jing slowly walked up to the high platform, and a woman dressed luxuriously dressed and wearing a phoenix hairpin came over and held Wen Jing's hand: "Oh, I still think about the prince's appearance, but I want to marry a fairy woman, and when I see the princess today, it is really a match." ”

This was a bit of a big deal, but everyone didn't react else, just laughed with her.

The woman then said, "I am your aunt Guangping, you have not seen it, and it is normal that you don't recognize it." Come, let me introduce you. ”

Wen Jing thought about a lot of possibilities, but he didn't want the eldest princess of Guangping to be so enthusiastic. Wen Jing couldn't refuse, so he followed her to recognize people.

She had only taken a cursory glance at the royal family on the day of her wedding, and it was impossible to remember it. can only recognize Jiang Xufeng's other brothers, and she can't tell the difference between the ladies and daughters of the princes' families.

With a round face and a smile of joy is Princess Qing, although she is over thirty years old, she looks like a woman in her twenties.

King Qing is the eldest son of Emperor Kangde, who fell ill when he was born, and his health has been poor, and he recuperates in the house most of the time. Because it does not involve the dispute over the storage position, the communication between Princess Yu and Concubine Yu is impartial, and she has also won a good popularity.

The next one to sit on Princess Qing is Princess Huai, who is ranked fifth, good at business, has a lot of industries under her name, and only her biological mother is a foreign tribute girl, and she is still a Jieyu. Princess Huai was born in the Yang family, and the ancestors of the Yang family have made meritorious contributions from the dragon, but they can stand tall in Beijing without falling, and they don't rely on the shadow of their ancestors.

The Yang clan was known for its pursuit of stability and refraining from participating in court struggles, a practice that was deeply favored by the Dayong Emperors of all dynasties. King Huai's throne was also obtained because of the honor given to Yang by Emperor Kangde, the daughter of the Yang family.

Fortunately, the husband and wife have the same character, they have no pursuit of power, and they live in wealth and idleness.

There are also the second princes who have not yet been crowned kings, and the families of the fourth princes, they have no rank, just princesses. Sitting farther away, he had a good attitude towards Wen Jing, gossiping with a smile on his face.

As for the woman who sat first to the right of the eldest princess of Guangping, she seemed to be frowning all the time, leaving a faint mark between her eyebrows. At this time, her expression was kind, but Wen Jing saw a slight hostility in her eyes.

Wen Jing doesn't need to be introduced to know who it is, Princess Ning, Zhao Peiling.

"I only watched from a distance that day, but if I look at it carefully, the princess and princess are not comparable to each other." Princess Ning joked and pulled all the concubines.

The provocative meaning in her words was too obvious, and everyone just laughed and didn't answer.

"The third sister-in-law is joking, I don't deserve the word national color. Sisters-in-law have their own merits, and I don't understand anything yet, so I have to rely on my sisters-in-law to talk to me more about it for a while. ”

Wen Jing refuted it neither softly nor hard, Princess Ning still wanted to say something, but it happened that at this time, the ladies of various families came to greet her and interrupted her.

Princess Yu of Qing, seeing this scene, covered the disdain in her eyes with the action of holding the teacup.

After all, Wen Jing was beside her, and it was all the ladies who saluted her, and she just nodded slightly. At a glance, the person who was talking warmly to Duchess An Guo was actually Jiang, and Wen Jing's eyes immediately sank a little.

In fact, on this occasion, with the official position of the general of Zhenbei, the female relatives of the family can naturally receive the post.

But Jiang's own background is average, and he is a stepfamily. After so many years, I have worked hard among the nobles in Beijing, but I still can't squeeze into the family lady and the princess's wife, and I don't know how I got caught up with the Duchess of An Guo this time.

"Yo, I'm a bad guy. Fortunately, there is Yao Niang, otherwise this is not a rudeness. The voice of the eldest princess of Guangping came, holding the hands of the Duchess of An Guo and the Jiang family very enthusiastically.

Duchess An Guo was born in Yingchuan Chen, and her maiden name is Yao Niang. Seeing that she is so familiar with the eldest princess of Guangping, you can know which side the Anguo Mansion is on.

Wen Jing couldn't help frowning, what is the Jiang family doing here?

Princess Ning's expression flashed with mockery, and the corners of her lips curled towards Wen Jing and said, "It's the first time I've seen Madam Jiang, but why did you come with Duchess Anguo?" ”

Wen Jing suddenly laughed this time: "Alas, I am different from the third sister-in-law. I was a royal lady at the beginning, and I was cautious and didn't dare to make mistakes, and my mind was all on myself. ”

This is to say that Princess Ning is nosy, Princess Qing and Princess Huai glanced at Wen Jing in surprise, and then laughed secretly.

For a while, Zhao Peiling couldn't maintain a kind appearance, her face was faintly angry, her husband was the emperor's favorite King Ning, she was born in Tianshui Zhao, where she went, everyone held her, and no one dared to put her face like this for many years.

Seeing this situation, the eldest princess of Guangping hurriedly came out to play a round, shook her head slightly at Princess Ning, and commanded the waiters to start the game.

The two teams on the field are raised by the princess of Guangping Princess's mansion herself, a team of more than a dozen strong men, if you win a whole team, you can not only get all the bets, but also have additional rewards. The losing team will be whipped and powdered on their faces.

Two waiters walked in front of the nobles in the audience one by one with silver plates, and the wives of each family would not drop their chains at such a time, and they had to hold on to them if they had no money, and after a while, they piled up the silver plates.

The waiter dragged the silver plate to Wen Jing and bowed his head respectfully.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Jing's body, Wen Jing didn't need to signal, Lan Qian held one of the boxes given by Jiang Xufeng, grabbed a handful at random and put it directly on the tray.

The things used for rewards are not as fine as those usually worn by the women, and they are just a weight.

Wen Jing's hand, not to mention five or six gold rings, as well as a few strings of red agate necklaces and a few hairpins, the most conspicuous is a hairpin with a large opal on the top. Although this opal has impurities and is not a good product, it is rare to see such a large one, and most people will choose to polish and polish it to make a complete set of jewelry for the juniors in the family.

Jiang leaned forward, and the area around his eyes was red.

Even the eldest princess of Guangping had her eyes crossed Wen Jing, and she raised her face as if nothing had happened.

The big drum on the Keju field was beaten, and as the drum beat became more and more urgent, the flag in the referee's hand was waved, and the left team member took the lead in kicking off.

The fierce juju competition attracted everyone's attention for a while, Wen Jing watched it for a while and was also fascinated, the captain of the left army scored two bows in a row, and the audience was cheering, and Wen Jing also rewarded some broken silver.

There is a small waiter standing next to each guest, also dragging a silver plate, which is convenient for the guests to reward when they compete.

The eldest princess of Guangping looked at the field, but said to Wen Jing: "The crown princess has suppressed the right army, and I see that the crown princess is about to break the fortune." ”

Wen Jing pretended to sigh: "What my aunt said is that I am looking at the right army as a good son. However, this is just the beginning, and the nephew and daughter-in-law still want to see it again, so there is no need to break the bank. ”
