Chapter 53: Entering the Palace

Seeing that after he finished speaking, Cheng Yuguan still had a wooden look, and there was no change at all, and the more Cheng Yulou spoke, the more direct he became.

"Big sister, do you know why you are so arrogant? Because others don't bother to care about you, because in their eyes, you are a poor orphan girl, that's all. But people won't tolerate you indefinitely because you're pitiful. If you are still so straightforward in the future, one day you will be rejected by the queen and everyone. Do you think that others hate hypocrisy and love your honesty and straightforwardness? No. They will only alienate you because your bluntness makes people awkward and uncomfortable to get along with. When you are rejected by everyone, what capital do you have to be so arrogant? ”

"Not to mention the Huo family, even the queen mother, there have been many noble girls who have fallen in love with each other over the years, you are not the only one."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yulou's face showed joy, "So I am also kind, so I advise the eldest sister, learn to be more tactful as soon as possible, make more friends, one day in the province you will not be loved by the queen, the Huo family is close, and when there is only one stepdaughter left, you will be bullied by two vulgar sisters-in-law!" ”

Obviously, when Cheng Yulou was in the lobby, he looked down on the two "sisters-in-law" from the Cheng family's ancestral land, and the smile just now was just acting.

Cheng Yuguan heard Cheng Yulou's words, but sighed, "It seems that in the two years since I left Beijing, you have made a lot of small moves." ”

Cheng Yulou smiled, did not admit it, and did not deny it.

This is the backyard of the Cheng family, although it is by the pond and there is no one around, Cheng Yulou will not let himself leave a handle.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan no longer asked, but looked at Cheng Yulou sincerely, "You and your mother, why do you keep chasing me?" ”

Cheng Yuguan asked casually, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Cheng Yulou's reaction.

Cheng Yulou's eyes shrank, but he still smiled, "Sister, don't laugh." ”

Cheng Yuguan shrugged, she knew that talking to Cheng Yulou and not getting any effective information was a waste of time.

Two people, you say yours, I say mine, will not be fooled by the other party at will, nor will they be changed by the other party's words at will.

Since we have always been on a mutually opposed stance, what is the need for exchange? Do you give her a chance to be verbally offended, and you listen obediently?

Cheng Yuguan turned around, Cheng Yulou also took a step, the two of them staggered shoulders, but it was Qinghe and Liuyun, who looked at each other without admitting defeat, trying to kill each other with their eyes.

Therefore, people who don't deal with it will have a natural aura that is not compatible, even if they see a maid for the first time, they will also fight-for-tat.

"Miss, that Miss Yulou, look at it and feel compassionate, and her mother Yang came out of the same mold, it doesn't look like a good person, you don't care about her in the future, their mother and daughter are just like the stirring spirits in our village, as long as they are stained, they will have to yin you a piece of flesh."

Liuyun gritted his teeth, but Cheng Yuguan was interested.

"Oh, then how did you village spoilers deal with it in the end?"

Liuyun clenched his fists, "Of course, I will fight once and again, and I won't give them a chance to speak!" Otherwise, they will hook up with someone to help them, whether it is a man or a woman! ”

Cheng Yuguan laughed when he heard this, "The method in your village is simple and effective. ”

Because of the family banquet, everyone in the Cheng Mansion came back early and gathered together, and even his father, who was on duty in the palace all day, also asked for leave to go home early, and in the evening, the Cheng family had a rare gathering.

"Mother, this Miss Cheng Yulou is really worthy of being the first talented woman in the capital, and her temperament is really extraordinary. She also said that the Shuori Poetry Club invited our family to participate. The poem will be chartered in Qingfeng Building, and there is no one hundred taels of silver for leisure, but I dare not enter! ”

After Qian praised Cheng Yulou, he found that the atmosphere at the dinner table was not right, and the second Cheng Jue glanced at Cheng Yuguan and quickly pulled his wife's arm.

"What are you dragging me for? Am I wrong? Miss Yulou, I'm not the only one who praises her for being good, everyone says so! ”

The Qian family was born in a wealthy and powerful family in the north, and he is used to being very arrogant, and he doesn't like to look at people's faces.

Sister-in-law Zhao peeked at everyone's expressions, and had a new view of Cheng Yuguan's status in the family.

Cheng Lang saw that the second brother was nagged by the second sister-in-law, and couldn't help but say, "Cheng Yulou was born on the same day, the same year, the same month and our little sister, and since she was born, she was placed in the Wang family by the Yang family, and she said everywhere that the little sister was married and sent to the ancestral land. Later, because of the marriage contract of the queen's mother, they were very targeted at the little sister. After all, the marriage contract of the little sister is the fourth prince, and their goal is the fifth prince, and it is impossible for the two sisters to marry the prince, right? So Cheng Yulou has worked hard to manage his reputation all these years, isn't it to marry into the royal family? Therefore, Xiaomei and Cheng Yulou are natural enemies. Second sister-in-law, don't say a good word about Cheng Yulou in the future, I can't listen to it. ”

The little brother-in-law Cheng Lang spoke, and Qian had to reluctantly shut up.

Sister-in-law Zhao came out to play a round at this time, "Okay, okay, don't blame those who don't know, let's eat!" Little sister, don't go to your heart, your second sister-in-law has always had no heart! ”

Zhao gave Cheng Yuguan a dish, Cheng Yuguan smiled, and didn't say anything. It's that nice to have someone to support you. You don't have to say anything embarrassing, someone will stand up for you.

Cheng Yuguan's favorite is this feeling. Therefore, the third brother's occasional white eyes, she can also forgive one or two.

"Third brother, eat meat!"

Cheng Yuguan didn't say anything, but gave Cheng Lang a piece of meat, and his attitude showed no doubt, Qian saw this, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything more.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yuguan entered the palace as promised.

Her sign had already been handed over, but it was the end of the month when the palace affairs were busy, so she made an appointment for the first day of the new year.

Here, Cheng Yuguan's carriage entered the palace, and Cheng Yulou's Qingfeng Lou poetry meeting began as scheduled.

The young people of all sizes in Beijing gathered towards Qingfeng Building as if agreed, including Cheng Lang, who had just returned to Beijing.

"Qi Yang, this is what you said, the most lively scene in Beijing? Is it an association to poetry? ”

Cheng Lang and Qi Yang, the son of his father's colleague, hit it off at first sight, so they made an appointment to join in the fun.

Seeing Qingfeng Building from a distance, Cheng Lang remembered the words of his second sister-in-law yesterday and was a little deflated.

This is the poetry club organized by Cheng Yulou, he is the third brother of Xiaomei, how can he come to join in this fun?

At that moment, Cheng Lang stopped, not wanting to get any closer, "It's not interesting to compose poetry, you go, I'll go out of the city and ride a horse." ”

How did Qi Yang "sigh", squinted and looked back at Cheng Lang, "Still composing poems?" Will you or will I be? ”

Hearing Qi Yang's choking, Cheng Lang paused, still reluctant to go in.

Qi Yang pushed Cheng Lang, took out the post in his arms by the way, and signaled to the guy at the door, so that the two of them were able to enter Qingfeng Building.

After entering, Qi Yang pulled Cheng Lang to the box on the third floor, and explained to Cheng Lang, "Let's go, the number of boxes on the third floor is limited, and if you go late for a while, you won't be able to see it?" ”

Cheng Lang was a teenager in the end, he was grabbed and dragged by his friends like this, so he half-pushed and half-followed, and when he heard Qi Yang say this, he asked curiously, "Why do you have to go to the third floor?" ”

Qi Yang walked up quickly, and complained, "You dirt bun, don't you understand?" Xiaohe Poetry Society, that is the most talented and beautiful lady in the whole capital. On weekdays, where can so many people gather except for the Queen's Palace banquet? You're not too young, it's time to get married, right? Dude brought you, you can steal the fun! ”

Hearing this, Cheng Lang immediately gave up struggling, and took a leap to overtake Qi Yang, "Walking so slowly, you are embroidering!" ”

In the end, with the help of Cheng Lang's long legs, Cheng Lang and Qi Yang finally grabbed the closest box with the best view.

At the intersection of the staircase from the second floor to the third floor, in the past, the Oiran was used to perform programs, and the small stage where the protagonists of the troupe appeared on the stage, at this moment gathered the famous noblewomen and talents in Beijing, one by one in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, and the flowers were full of flowers.

Among them, the familiar figure of Cheng Yulou was imprinted in Cheng Lang's eyes.

Seeing Cheng Yulou surrounded by everyone among the nobles, Cheng Lang couldn't help but complain, "There are two brushes!" ”

Qi Yang was puzzled, "Who are you talking about?" Oiran Peony sister? The one in red is the peony, what's the matter, it's beautiful, isn't it? ”

Obviously, the reason that Qi Yang told Cheng Lang just now was just an excuse, his purpose was to come up and appreciate the beauties, or the beauties with literary talents.

Cheng Lang watched the poetry association in Qingfeng Building, but Cheng Yuguan arrived in the palace at this time.

"Don't be rude, come on!"

Before Cheng Yuguan could salute, he was greeted by the queen's aunt.

Looking at the girl who seemed to have become a half-adult, the queen's phoenix eyes flashed, "Okay, it looks so good." You look a little taller than you did two years ago, right? Why does this foot feel that it is not long, can it walk steadily? It is said that the southern mountains and rivers raise people, why don't you see that you are a little fatter, but you are thinner than two years ago? ”

The queen mother pulled Cheng Yuguan and looked up and down.

Mei Ling, who is now a palace maid, couldn't cry or laugh, "Niangniang, you should be uncomfortable with Miss Yuguan." Besides, Miss Yuguan is also thin and tall, and I see that Miss Yuguan walks very steadily! ”

The queen smiled after listening to Mei Ling's words, and pulled Cheng Yuguan to sit down, "I'm in a hurry for a while." Yuguan entered the palace this time, but he had to accompany me for a few days before going back. It's Juneteenth in two days, so just go back after the holiday! ”

Cheng Yuguan could only nod in the face of the queen's aunt's enthusiasm, "Listen to you." ”

Hearing Cheng Yuguan's promise, the queen was happy, but she still nodded at Cheng Yuguan, "You, slippery head." I always pretend to be well-behaved about this little thing, saying listen to me, I wrote to you to come back early, why don't you listen? If Mian'er hadn't just gone to Jingzhou this time, I don't know how long you would have to delay! ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, at this time, there happened to be a little palace maid, and the four princes arrived!

"The Queen Mother! Yuguan! ”

Li Mian stepped into the main hall, bowed his hand, and greeted Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Yuguan wanted to get up and return the salute, but was held back by the queen, "Your fourth brother is your own person, so you don't need to be formal." ”

"Why are you here before we can speak?"

The queen looked at Li Mian and said with a complaint.

When Mei Ling heard this, she laughed secretly, with Miss Yuguan, the four princes were here in the queen's place, and they regressed.

Li Mian sat on the circle chair on one side, leisurely smoothed his robe, and said slowly, "Yuguan enters the palace, how can I, the fourth brother, not show up?" Moreover, Ninghui Hall has collected a lot of stone scores recently, and Yuguan must also want to see it. I happened to have time, so I took her to see it. If you want to catch up, there is time to talk about it, and in the dead of night, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to talk about it privately? ”

Li Mian said that "women's private words" did not have a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he said it very naturally.

The queen mother really thought about it carefully, "You're right, Yuguan is almost over now, and she can't be deceived by ordinary wild boys." Yuguan'er, you go to Ninghui Hall to read a book first, and my aunt will find out the booklet that my mother collected for me back then, and let's read it together in the evening. You kid is the most innocent, don't really be deceived by some guys with human faces and animal skins. ”

Saying that, the queen seemed to have made up her mind, and hurriedly beckoned and asked Mei Ling to find a dowry book for herself.

Cheng Yuguan only felt embarrassed, this mother and son are really not avoiding, forget it, she still goes out first, and then comes back in the evening to talk to her aunt, by the way, look at the queen's treasured booklet, what is it.

"Auntie, I'll go to Ninghui Hall first, and I'll accompany you later."

The queen waved her hand, "Go ahead, be comfortable in the palace, this is also your home." ”

said, and looked at Li Mian again, "Take Yuguan well, and see how I punish you like last time!" ”

Li Mian gave up his hand and retired, "Don't worry! ”

When the two of them went out, the pillarless hall instantly quieted down, and the queen sat quietly on the platform, as if she was thinking about something.

Mei Ling came over after a while to reply, "Niangniang, your dowry book is not in the box, did you receive it from the treasury?" The slave will open the treasury and find it for you. ”

Which queen waved her hand, "It's okay, don't be in a hurry to use it." When to find it, when to count. And even if you can't find it, Yuguan Xing probably won't need it. ”

Mei Ling was puzzled, "Miss Yuguan is really temperamental, aren't you always afraid that she will be deceived?" Why is it suddenly not needed again? ”

The queen looked at the door of the main hall and said leisurely, "My son, isn't it more useful than any booklet?" With him watching, who can deceive Yuguan? ”

Mei Ling was puzzled, and the queen looked at Mei Ling's expression and suddenly smiled, "Okay, go fan me, I'll sleep for a while, and at night, I'll probe my kid's mouth." This kid is really asking for his own suffering. If you know today, why bother in the first place. ”

The queen's words made Mei Ling more and more puzzled, "The fourth prince? The four princes are shrewd and capable, and now they are more and more valued by His Majesty, is Niangniang too harsh on His Royal Highness? ”

The two of them spoke, the donkey's lips were not on the horse's mouth, and the queen had no intention of explaining.

Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, she can guess his son's mind with a single eye movement, but others are obedient and listen to the sound, and it is normal for her son not to guess his son's thoughts.

In the mood of keeping it secret for her son, the queen mother lay down on the couch, with a smile on her face and a mysterious face.

Mei Ling has never been the kind of eight-sided exquisite, and now she has become the palace maid of Fengyi Palace, relying on loyalty.

Seeing that she couldn't guess Niangniang's thoughts, Mei Ling no longer drilled the tip of the horns, but picked up the fan and fanned Niangniang.
