Chapter 29: Shen Lianyi, the first beauty in the capital
It makes no sense to say more now, looking at Song Lingxin's appearance, he is relatively satisfied with Chen Zhao.
Also, if she is unwilling, the Cen family will not force her to marry.
Song Lingxin naturally would not refuse the idea of leaving, and the two walked towards a path, and the two maids followed from a distance.
Guo Fuzhong is not very big, and it didn't take long to reach the corner, so the two of them naturally couldn't go again, so they planned to find a place to sit at random.
It hasn't snowed in the past ten days, and it's not too cold even to sit outside.
The two sisters chatted for a while, and it was not until Chao Wan came to call them for dinner that they returned to the banquet.
After Guo Kai's polite words, it was time for the relief of his birthday.
There was no movement in the inner courtyard where the female guests were, and almost no sound could be heard, but the front yard was more lively, and from time to time there could be a commotion.
Suddenly, two voices were heard.
"King Rui has arrived!"
"King Li has arrived!"
Everyone immediately stood up and respectfully greeted them.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Rui, and I've seen His Royal Highness King Li."
Chaoli also saluted with everyone, but his mind was thinking that the two princes in his previous life also came, but at that time, Chaoli didn't know who the person behind Gu Hanzhang was.
It can be said that these two princes are the most in the limelight now.
King Rui is the son of the queen, he is the son-in-law, but he is not the eldest son, he is kind to others, and he has a good evaluation.
In the court, thirty percent of the ministers supported him, and they asked the emperor to appoint his son-in-law as the crown prince.
King Li is the eldest son, and his biological mother is the first Liangdi of the current saint in the princely period, and the feelings are quite deep, and the emperor is partial to him.
Probably because of the emperor's attitude, there are still thirty percent of the ministers who are on the side of King Li.
The emperor is also a person, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he loves these two sons very much, so he doesn't know who is good to make the prince.
As for the other princes, even if they have the heart to compete for the position of prince, they don't have that ability.
The other forty percent of the ministers are scattered among the princes, and now the situation is quite stable and there is no chaos.
Of course, there are also neutral ones, such as Zhenbei Houfu.
But no one thought that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which no one supported on the surface, had already reached a consensus with a prince to compete for that position.
If it succeeds, it is from the dragon's work, and the marquis is just around the corner.
The clouds in the entire court were weird, and the princes tried their best to please the one on the dragon chair, and everyone knew what was going on, but no one broke it.
Chaoli knew very well that neither King Rui nor King Li could become the prince in the end.
The person who really became the prince was something that no one expected.
In his previous life, Chaoli watched the one behind Gu Hanzhang appear in front of everyone step by step, and finally defeated King Rui and King Li and became the prince.
Behind all this, Gu Hanzhang is indispensable for this person to give advice, no matter how King Rui and King Li fight now, in the end, they will make a wedding dress for that person.
Gu Hanzhang is a person with a very deep city, and he is also that person's henchman.
The liveliness of the front hall subsided, and no one dared to be presumptuous in front of the two princes, and they all paid attention to their behavior.
And as King Rui and King Li took their seats, a woman dressed in white walked in.
Her skin is better than snow, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when she looks forward to it, she has an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people feel ashamed of herself and dare not blaspheme.
The moment he saw her, he shook his right hand with the void.
Shen Lianyi!
The first beauty in the capital, that is, the person in Gu Hanzhang's heart.
is such a beauty, it is understandable to step on the tip of Gu Hanzhang's heart.
Chao Li ignored the displeasure in his heart, and his eyes were the same as everyone else, following Shen Lianyi's figure.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Guo, the little girl is late, and her father can't come when he is called to the palace, so don't worry about the old lady."
Shen Lianyi's gestures are all smooth, and his smile is just right, even if he comes a little later, his generous attitude will not be unpleasant.
Mrs. Guo smiled heartily, "I haven't been late, the banquet hasn't started yet, Miss Shen is already an honor for the old body to come, how can the old body be too late." ”
Everyone knew very well that Shen Lianyi's words were just talking, and it was naturally impossible for her father to deign to attend Mrs. Guo's seventieth birthday.
After all, Shen Lianyi's father was Shen Fang, the Minister of Military Aircraft.
As we all know, the prime minister's power is great, but the minister of military aircraft is the military and the government.
Today's emperor is still virtuous, so the Minister of Military Aircraft is the real one person under ten thousand people, and even the prime minister is not allowed to look directly at his edge.
Therefore, Shen Lianyi can come, which is already enough to give Guo Kai, the head of the household, face.
Guo Kai has not indicated his position now, so King Rui and King Li will both come.
As for which prince Shen Fang was standing behind, Chao Li didn't know this, and in his previous life, Gu Hanzhang would not tell her about the affairs of the court, or because of Shen Lianyi's reluctance to talk to her.
When Shen Lianyi entered the table, the ladies all came to her side, and the backyard was lively.
Chaoli sat in place and didn't move, she knew very well in her heart that even if she didn't go over, Shen Lianyi would still come to her later.
Sometimes she doesn't quite understand why Shen Lianyi and Gu Hanzhang are in love with each other, why they haven't been together for three years, and why Shen Lianyi hasn't been married at the age of nineteen?
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour passed, and Shen Lianyi walked towards Chao Li's table.
"The little girl has seen Princess Dessau."
Princess Dessau smiled kindly, "Don't be polite, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the ripples are getting more and more moving." ”
Shen Lianyi's face was full of shame, "The princess praises falsely, Miss Gu is stunning." ”
"Compared to Miss Shen, I'm far behind." Gu Xiyue also smiled quite heartily.
The ladies of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei sat together, and Shen Lianyi came over to greet Princess Deshao first, and then greeted Gu Xiyue, with an extremely familiar attitude.
Compared with her acquaintance, Chaoli is like an outsider.
The people around are not stupid, and everyone can see that Princess Dessau's attitude towards Shen Lianyi is much better than that of her daughter-in-law.
Come to think of it, people's status is not low.
If you really want to talk about it, Chao Li's family background and identity are not as good as Shen Lianyi.
"This is the princess of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, right? The princess is really good-looking, but she has not been known in the boudoir all these years. If I had seen the princess earlier, the false name of the first beauty in the capital would not have been my turn. Shen Lianyi smiled and left the mouth.
"Miss Shen, don't say that, maybe tomorrow it will be rumored that I am brazen to compete for the title of the first beauty, I am really ashamed." Chao Li covered his lips and smiled.
In the eyes of others, the two seemed to hit it off at first sight, and they were laughing when they spoke.
Only the two of them understand how the other party doesn't care, they are acting anyway.
