Chapter Seventy-Six: The Flower Viewing Banquet in King Chen's Mansion
"Shen Shaoqi dared to make a move against Kuyin, is he crazy?"
Shen Yunwan's eyes widened in confusion.
"What's more, the Shen family has countless wealth, and there is no shortage of food for him at all."
Xiao Yeheng smiled faintly: "Shen Shaoqi was taken advantage of. β
"Being taken advantage of? He's stupid. Even if he decided to take refuge in King Chen, there was no need to take such a big risk, wouldn't he be afraid of being pushed out by King Chen as a scapegoat? β
Shen Yunwan curled the corners of his mouth mockingly, and a cold smile bloomed.
"It seems that the Shen family's feng shui is not good, and they can't teach the children of the instrument."
Xiao Yeheng raised his eyebrows silently.
Yun Huang has excluded herself from the Shen family again. It's just that Xiao Yeheng has no intention of exploring Shen Yunwan's unknown secrets.
He mentioned another thing: "I heard that Princess Chen gave you an invitation to a flower-viewing banquet? Want to go? β
"What if I say I don't want to go?" Shen Yunwan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yeheng.
Don't think you don't know, this guy wants to trick himself again.
"Then don't go, on the day of the flower feast, I will ask the imperial grandmother to summon you into the palace." Xiao Yeheng said lightly.
As long as Yun Wan is unwilling, even if he steps on Xiao Junze's face.
Shen Yunwan didn't expect Xiao Yeheng to be so indulgent to herself.
She was stunned: "Can I really not go?" β
"Why not?" Xiao Yeheng looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
"The imperial grandmother canonized you as the county lord because she hoped that you would not be hindered by anyone, and if you were still asked to bow down and be small, it would be against the original intention of the imperial grandmother."
"Xiao Yeheng, I remember your words."
At this moment, Shen Yunwan felt full of connivance on Xiao Yeheng, even if he always wanted to push himself away, but he was good to himself, but he was not pretending.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the flower-viewing banquet of King Chen's mansion.
Shen Yunwan got up early in the morning.
She sat in front of the vanity mirror, watching Cui Ping's pair of skillful hands curl one of her hair out of the Moon Flying Fairy Bun, and then inserted a brilliant ruby dot emerald hairpin, a pair of red gold lantern earrings, and the two rubies that fell were bigger than her fingernails.
"The slave maid thought that the county lord would enter the palace, but I didn't expect the county lord to go to the flower viewing banquet in King Chen's mansion."
Cuiping helped Shen Yunwan put on a hundred treasures necklace, pursed her lips and smiled.
Shen Yunwan's delicate eyebrows and eyes bent.
"The other party has already issued a war letter, if I avoid it, others still think that I am afraid of the Chenwang Mansion, wouldn't it be the face of the Queen Mother?"
After Shen Yunwan received the post from King Chen's Mansion, he was ready to participate. It's just that that day in front of Xiao Yeheng, the ghost almost wanted to hide behind Xiao Yeheng.
Perhaps, he subconsciously knew that Xiao Yeheng would definitely help him solve the problem.
But when it really came to an end, Shen Yunwan was not confused.
"What the county lord said is that you now represent the Queen Mother. The county lord can rest assured, if anyone dares to embarrass you at the flower-viewing banquet, it will be the face of the queen mother. β
Since Cuiping came to Shen Yunjuan's side, the longer she gets along with Shen Yunjuan, the more she can feel why Shen Yunhuan is so loved by the Queen Mother.
Such a smart and transparent woman in thousands of miles, which parent would not like it!
"The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, and I don't know if there is any embarrassment on the surface, but there will be no shortage of hidden arrows in the back."
Shen Yunwan watched Cuiping straighten his phoenix hairpin, and then, dipped a brush in gold dust, and sketched a lifelike lotus flower in the center of his eyebrows.
Cui Ping put down the pen and looked at Shen Yunwan's face, his eyes full of amazement.
"If the slave didn't get along with the county lord day and night, they almost didn't dare to admit it, and thought that the county lord was a Yaotai fairy who fell into the world."
If the first queen could have the beauty of the county lord with seven points, she would not be forced by the Chen family to have no place to stand.
"I think you're complimenting yourself on your skill." After Shen Yunwan made up makeup, he stood up from the stool.
Suddenly, the layered skirt blooms like a flower, and hundreds of pearls the size of rice grains are dotted among them, exuding a warm and soft pearlescent light, like the moonlight flowing down, which makes people feel beautiful.
"It takes five full years for the tencel snow satin used in this skirt to be able to weave one, and even the queen mother begged, but the queen mother was reluctant, and bluntly said that the queen mother was not worthy of this skirt. Now, the horse has finally found a suitable owner. β
Cui Ping didn't realize that she was holding and stepping on one, but Shen Yunwan caught a more sensitive word.
Today's successor surnamed Qi, from the Duke of Qi, is also Xiao Yeheng's foreign family, both a stepmother and an aunt. It is said that he should be very close to the Queen Mother.
Tencel snow satin is precious, but with his understanding of the Queen Mother, he is by no means a person who cares about a snow satin.
It seems that the royal water is far deeper than you think.
Cui Ping lowered her head, and the corner of her eyes looked through the mirror, catching a glimpse of Shen Yunwan's thoughtful expression, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Drums don't have to be hammered. So, dealing with smart people is a hassle-free.
An hour later, Shen Yunwan boarded the carriage to King Chen's mansion.
Different from the remote and desolate place of King Jin's Mansion, King Chen's Mansion is located in the southeast corner of the palace, covering an extremely wide area, 1.5 times the size of King Jin's Mansion.
Shen Yunwan came later.
I saw that carriages were parked on both sides of the road in the palace, and the owners of the carriages had already entered the palace.
At the gate where there were two white marble lions, a housekeeper's daughter-in-law was a little impatient, until a Qingluan car covered by Zhu Lunhua stopped at the gate.
On the white horse, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, the coachman shouted, "The lord of Nghe Ann has arrived." β
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law instantly lifted her spirits, and the main owner was here.
"Lord Nghe An, my princess has been waiting for a long time. Come with the slave and maid. β
The guards of the palace removed the threshold, and the carriage drove straight in, stopping at the second gate.
Shen Yunwan was supported by Cuiping, and got out of the carriage with an elegant posture.
Today is to participate in the flower banquet of the palace, and there are only female dependents at the banquet, so Shen Yunwan did not wear a power fence, but showed a carefully decorated face.
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law, who was still smiling and groaning just now, was instantly stunned.
ThisγThis is the lord of Nghe An?!
You're not dazzled, are you?
The other party's reaction was already within Cuiping's expectations, she suppressed the ridicule at the corner of her mouth, and coughed lightly: "Slave Cuiping, I don't know what to call my sister?" β
Tsui ping? The housekeeper's daughter-in-law had already been advised, and when she heard this name, she immediately snorted.
"The slave maid Chun Tao asked the county lord of Yi'an to say goodbye, the county lord is beautiful and beautiful, and the slave and maid are all blamed for being stunned for a while, and the slave and maid are rude, and the county lord Haihan is also invited."
Chun Tao hurriedly bent her knees and saluted Shen Yunwan.
Unexpectedly, kneeling halfway, he was held up by Cuiping's hands.
"Sister Chuntao, don't worry, my county lord is a gentle and virtuous person, and he will never punish people casually."
If you really let the maid next to Princess Chen kowtow to the county lord and ask for guilt, and spread it, others will think how domineering the county lord is!
Although Cui Ping had a smile on his face, the meaning of his words was hidden in the needle.
Chun Tao took a note of Ma Wei, where did she dare to call each other "sisters" with Cuiping, not to mention that the other party still had the official position of a seven-grade female official, if she dared to call Cuiping a sister, wouldn't she be despising the Queen Mother!
Thinking of this, Chun Tao immediately slapped her mouth: "It's all because the slave can't speak, Cuiping girl, just call me Chun Tao." β
Cui Ping smiled slightly, and cast an inquiring glance at Shen Yunwan.
I saw Shen Yunwan bowing his head: "The hour is not early, so don't let Princess Chen wait for a long time." β
The county lord of Ngee An did not speak harshly, on the contrary, her timbre was as moving as a pearl falling on a jade plate, but it made Chun Tao's heart sink, and she didn't dare to be verbose anymore, so she hurriedly went to the front to lead the way.
β¦β¦
In the garden, on the head of the table, there was a woman dressed in a bright red palace dress, with thick green silk combed into a peony bun, full of pearls and emeralds, and she was extremely luxurious.
Ordinary women may not be able to hold up so much jewelry, but this woman is full of heaven, with plump cheeks, silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a heart-shaped lip flap that smiles before speaking, and her body is plump, like a blooming peony graceful, which makes people feel that they complement each other.
On either side of her, two young girls sat on the left and on the right.
One of the girls was wearing a light blue palace skirt, a ruyi moire shawl hanging to the ground like flowing water, and on the combed spirit snake bun, only a treasure flower flower was inserted in the heart, and the sapphire inlaid in the middle was the size of a pigeon's egg.
The girl's snow-skinned appearance, a pair of bright apricot eyes are lively and smart, and at the moment she is carelessly fiddling with the snacks on the plate, making the shape of a pagoda.
Another girl wore a pink palace skirt, combed a slightly complicated back hair, and a pink tourmaline hibiscus hairpin was obliquely inserted on the sideburns, and several pearl and plum hairpins were dotted between the hair, each pearl was the size of a thumb nail.
I saw that her skin was extremely fair, like a smooth milk tofu, but her facial features were more than delicate, and her beauty was insufficient.
At this moment, the girl's voice was slightly sharp.
"Second sister-in-law, this county lord of Nghe An has such a big shelf, let all of us wait for her here. I really don't know what the imperial grandmother likes about her, just a pheasant, she can be on an equal footing with us. β
The girl spoke the minds of most of the people present, but no one dared to follow suit.
Princess Chen frowned, and said in a persuasive tone: "Okay, Jiarou, didn't you just wait a little longer?"
As the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the lord of Nghe An has a life-saving grace to the emperor's grandmother. Even for the sake of the imperial grandmother, we must also respect her.
After a while, when the county lord of Ngee An comes, you are not allowed to embarrass others. β
Hearing this, Princess Jiarou pouted unhappily: "The second sister-in-law is virtuous and generous, but I am not." When Hongu doesn't know where she came from! Hmph, a woman who has been expelled from the family tree can also be named the county lord, the imperial grandmother is really confused! β
When the words fell, the banquet was so quiet that the needles could be heard, and even the sound of silk and bamboo on the water platform seemed to have stopped for a moment.
Princess Chen hurriedly lowered her head and covered the smile at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.
It was in vain that he knelt at the queen's place for half an hour yesterday. If Princess Jiarou hadn't been invited today, how could there be such a big surprise!
Princess Chen pretended to stop: "Enough, Jiarou, the more you talk, the more you don't talk!" How the imperial grandmother acts, do you still need to agree? β
Princess Jiarou found out that she had just scolded the Queen Mother, and she was scared for a while.
However, in the next second, the fear in her heart was replaced by anger.
I only heard Princess Jiarou sneer: "What a good daughter of an official family, but cheating with the little girl in the family, this kind of cheap embryo, I even feel disgusted to be in the same room with her." What is the royal grandmother who is not an old fool? β
"If the second sister-in-law doesn't believe it, the eldest lady of the Shen family, Shen Wanzhu, is here, and the second sister-in-law can ask her!"
