Chapter 424: Showing Up

Persuading San Lang was naturally fruitless, so Eleven Niang went to "comfort" Liu Zhen the next day, and spent two days to go through the motions, so she concentrated on staying in Shangqingguan, serving Yingyang Zhenren to draw a long scroll that lasted two months to complete one-third of the long scroll, and on the sixth day of Mu Holiday, she was ready to go to Nanyang Wangfu with Yingyang Zhenren.

This day happens to be the birthday of Princess Nanyang, but it happens that Eleven Niang has freedom of movement, of course, she wants to pay homage to her birthday.

Yingyang Zhenren only prepared an urn of self-brewed sake as a birthday gift, and Eleven Niang knew the temperament of Princess Nanyang, and she did not specially prepare those gold and jade treasures, but she made a taste of incense herself, so as to do her best.

Nanyang Wangfu is located in Changle Fang, near Daming Palace, but still separated from Chongren Fang by some distance, Yingyang Zhenren is willing to go home to "rub food", pinch the hour before setting off, the outside is already a scorching sunshine, so the teacher and student two abandoned the horse and rode the car, but the distance did not pass through the city, but did not choose the car that was covered on all sides, but picked a carriage with an ancient style, which was open on all sides, and was blocked by a gauze curtain, only the canopy shaded the sun, which had some interest.

Only after passing Daning Fang, when turning into the east straight street, I saw the congestion of cars and horses, this extraordinary scene made Yingyang Zhenren frown, and instructed his entourage to come forward to ask, I heard that these cars and horses were just going to Nanyang Wangfu to celebrate his birthday, not only there were many clans, but also Xie, Mao, Yuan, and Li were several prime ministers' mansions, and Yingyang Zhenren was not full of suspicions.

When it was still the Dezong Dynasty, although the king of Nanyang County was quite heavy, he did not act publicly, except for the inevitable banquet throughout the year, the ordinary birthday was not organized, not to mention the princess of Nanyang, today is neither a full birthday, nor has he ever been informed to have a big banquet, how can it cause this rush?

Yingyang Zhenren saw that he could not enter the house through the main gate, so he had to order the driver to bypass the congestion, enter Changle Fang, and go home through the corner gate.

As soon as I got out of the car, I couldn't help but ask the family members who came to answer the news: "What's going on?" ”

The person who responded was the niece of a real person, who had already been married, and today was obviously going home to pay tribute to his grandmother, but he did not expect to encounter the situation of this guest like a cloud, and he was also caught off guard. Finally, we were not caught off guard, but the guests rushed over, and in the end they were in a hurry. ”

Seeing that Yingyang Zhenren looked at her, Eleven Niang hurriedly explained: "The student is in the forbidden area and has not heard the Queen Mother mention it. ”

Yingyang Zhenren frowned even more, and followed her niece around the corner, finally avoiding the crowd in the hall that were vying to greet her.

In a quiet room, Princess Nanyang also leaned on the couch and kneaded her eyebrows, and when she saw Yingyang Zhenren entering, she was also weak, and she simply didn't even accept the salute of Eleven Niang, so she sat down directly: "I can suffer a lot of kneeling today, and my mouth is dry and irritable when I talk about entertainment, so it's easy to hide here quietly, you two are not outsiders, I also know your intentions, and the false courtesy is all avoided." ”

"Queen Mother, what kind of trouble is this?" The real person sat down next to his mother, and he was also a little resentful when he asked.

"It's not because you, Aye Taoguang, are in the arms of the Queen Mother!" Princess Nanyang sighed and said: "Some time ago, it wasn't for the matter of refunding military supplies, King Ruyang and his group insisted on opposing it, since there are still King Yichuan and King Jin in Zongzheng Hall, how can they reach an agreement?" You Aya originally had no intention of government affairs, and when he saw that things were doomed, he didn't bother to care, but you Aya was silent, and there were many clans sitting on the wall watching, and the queen mother advocated that there was no hindrance to the implementation, and she was quite pleased that you Aya knew the overall situation, and he saw him earlier, and he also leaked that he wanted to be promoted to the title of King Yu, and was politely declined by your Aye, but after a while, he made a big fuss about my birthday, in order to show his gratitude, I think, as long as Zongzheng Hall is still there, there will be no quiet day. ”

The mother and daughter didn't say a few words, and the wife of the prince walked into the house to report, saying that the banquet had been set up, and the princess was missing the birthday star, and the princess of Nanyang had to work hard, and the maid put on a big-sleeved dress for her, and still complained: "On a hot day, wearing this burden is really a sin, I am living a life, or being robbed!" ”

Mrs. Shizi hurriedly comforted: "On the auspicious day of the family, you can't say such angry words." ”

As soon as she saw Yingyang's real hand pressed the corner of her forehead, how could Mrs. Shizi not know that she had plans to be lazy again, so she came up and grabbed her arm: "Ah Mei, don't think about hiding from Qingjing today, and I won't let you entertain those gossips, just serve Ah Jia's family for me." ”

Yingyang Zhenren felt helpless, but Eleven Niang was ordered by Mrs. Shizi: "Oh, Yiyi is here today, you can calculate my urgent need, most of today's guests are female dependents, many of them are boudoir daughters, I am worried that Ling'er is still young, and she has never taught her to treat people and things, Yiyi can mention a little more, so as to save Ling'er from making jokes." ”

Of course, Nanyang Wangfu is not only He Ling a lady, but this generation is the only one who still has to marry the boudoir, she is the young daughter of the princess, under her, there is only the great-granddaughter of the princess, but they are still young, and it is impossible to entertain guests, in fact, He Ling is slightly older than Eleven Niang, but she has been pampered since childhood, and now she is still a childish, even if she is in contact with her peers, she is mostly her own relatives and friends, and she does not need to use those ways of entertainment, she has never experienced the duty of being alone at the banquet, which from the moment she saw Eleven Niang, her eyes lit up and shouted loudly" Yiyi, come and sit", ignoring the embarrassed expressions of the few little guests who were sitting around to flatter and flatter, and had to give way, which can be seen.

Eleven Niang glanced at the ladies present, in addition to the daughters of the clan, there were several daughters of the prime minister's mansion who were quite eye-catching, as well as a group of people from Xie and Mao's families, such as Liu, Xiao, Yuan, Wang and other neutral dignitaries The daughters were all absent, thinking that they had not been informed by the Queen Mother.

After the luncheon, the girls will move freely as usual, and do not sit for a long time during the banquet, but Nanyang Wangfu because of the infrequent banquet, many girls are "invited" for the first time this time, which is inevitably a little restrained, and then they are all ordered by the elders of the family, knowing that the main task is to flatter He Ling, and it is not easy to hang out as you like, Eleven Niang discussed with He Ling, and simply told the servants to find a quiet pavilion in the garden, prepare tea and fruit drinks, and only call a few servants to sing and cheer up, and the girls talk and laugh together, which is comfortable.

He Lingyuan didn't like to be restrained, and she had no objection to this proposal, so Eleven Niang asked Mrs. Shizi to tell her and led the ladies to leave the table.

Nanyang Wangfu is still built during the reign of Su Zong, covers a wide area, the water of the dragon's head canal is drawn in the garden, there is a clear pond on the vast side, there is an island in the pool, the flowers and trees on it are lush, and there are pavilions and pavilions, quiet and elegant, the little ladies take a boat to the island, go along the bluestone path to a top water pavilion surrounded by rockery, see that the seat tea case has been set up, know that this place is the destination.

Although this place is quiet, the scenery is quite good, just the wide water surface is very cool, and no matter how to have fun, they are not afraid of being seen by the elders, so the girls also let go of their restraints and talk and laugh to their heart's content.

Seeing that the daughters of Mao and Yuan couldn't wait to occupy He Ling's left and right, she expected that they would have to be flattering, so she consciously avoided the side, but when she turned around, she and Xie Ying came to greet each other unexpectedly, seeing that the other party just smiled slightly, turned her head and talked to others, Eleven Niang couldn't help but move her eyebrows.

Today and Xie Ying "unexpectedly met", but the other party is no longer as enthusiastic as those few times, although there is no cold face to greet him, but the attitude of intentional alienation is clear at a glance, Eleven Niang knows that Xie Ying has seen dozens of days pass, and she has not yet looked forward to the queen mother's edict, she should have woken up and she has not tried her best, knowing that flattery is useless, and she simply no longer pleases.

Eleven Niang didn't care about Xie Ying's coldness, she was also tired of being hostile to this destined hostile snake, it was good to be like strangers, and they were at ease with each other.

After turning his eyes, he picked the only favorite Ruan Xiaoniang and sat down next to him, which flattered Ruan Yu.

Ruan's family is not the queen mother's party, the reason why Ruan Yu came to pay homage today, but it was "coerced" by the eldest princess of Jin'an, it turned out that Ruan Yu's father was the younger brother of the deceased husband of the eldest princess, so he was quite concerned by the eldest princess, but there was a banquet and couldn't forget her, it seemed that he had the heart to carry Ruan Yu, but Ruan Yu was very afraid of the eldest princess, and he didn't like to flatter Mao, Yuan and others in general, to help her treat guests, Ruan Yu is inconvenient to disturb, and is thinking of looking for an opportunity to find eleven niang gossip, but eleven niang took the initiative to get close.

The two of them were in the corner of the water pavilion, talking in a low voice about topics that had nothing to do with the princess's birthday.

But I suddenly heard a woman propose: "I've been gossiping for a long time, but it's not very interesting, if we use this birthday banquet as the theme, limit the rhyme and compose poems, not only to celebrate the princess's birthday, but also to live up to this beautiful scenery." ”

Eleven Niang glanced at Xie Ying first, and saw that her expression changed suddenly, and her eyes stared directly at the woman who proposed, Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing, and then chased Xie Ying's angry gaze to see the person who proposed, but saw a girl who had been dressed up, her eyebrows were quite bright, her posture was very upright, she was a little sassy and heroic, and she looked a little familiar.

I heard He Qin's repeated objections: "I don't know how to recite poems, but I think it's boring, it's better to play games like throwing pots." ”

I heard the little lady Mao laugh again: "Shi Niang doesn't know, although Ah Qin is a noble daughter, her heart can be very high, and people can't look down on games like throwing pots, and Guy can't show her talent." Speaking of this, he smiled and sneered: "Even if Ah Qin is in a hurry to discuss his relatives and wants to climb high, he has to look at the occasion, this is Nanyang Palace, today is the princess's birthday, but you are in the limelight?" Besides, everyone here is a beautiful girl, and there is no Lang Jun, even if you make you in the limelight, it is a waste of scheming. ”
