Chapter 11: The Princess's Career Line (7)
Zhang Rutong and Gongsun Shao chatted with great interest.
It may be that there is some kind of induction in the dark, Zhang Rutong inadvertently glanced up at the outside of the rockery while speaking, and happened to be facing Wan Yanjing.
The two looked at each other for half a breath, Wan Yan quietly looked away, she looked forward, and followed the steward away arrogantly and indifferently.
"Princess, Master Zhang has been watching you."
"He's still watching you."
"He's been watching you."
Gan Tang whispered to Yan Jing to make a small report.
Wan Yanjing's expression did not change, as if she hadn't heard it at all, and she didn't glare at Gan Tang until she was around the corner.
Zhang Rutong had indeed been watching Yan Jing, he carefully looked at Yan Jing's makeup and clothes, and his eyes stayed on the token that Yan Jing was carrying in front of his neck.
"For the body of the book, it must be in its form, if you sit and walk, if you fly...... Hey, Brother Zhang, are you listening? If there's anything nice over there, I'll take a look too, oh, it turned out to be a female dependent who entered by mistake. Gongsun Shao widened his Danfeng eyes, stood on tiptoe and looked over there, "This woman in yellow is very beautiful, I don't know which lady it is, Brother Zhang, you have a crush?" ”
Zhang Rutong stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulders down, his face was pale, he had always been gentle to people, and he was obviously extremely unhappy with such a cold face.
"What nonsense are you talking about, see clearly, it's a married lady."
"Married lady, have you been watching for so long and so boldly? Last time, the tofu Shih Tzu on the street sent you flowers, and you blushed and stammered. Gongsun Shao looked at him suspiciously, but recalled that the woman's hair bun just now seemed to be indeed combed by a married person.
Zhang Rutong was silent, and was about to leave, but he heard Gongsun Shao's self-righteous realization in the back.
"Ah, I remember, could it be Princess Wuxuan? I heard about you and King Wuxuan before, Brother Zhang...... Woo, hmm......"
Gongsun Shao was covered by Zhang Rutong, who suddenly turned around, he is the son of a man who cultivates both civil and military, and he can enter and exit the military, and his martial arts also have the level of a third-rate martial artist.
But he wanted to break free at this time, but found that the arm that seemed to be thin Zhang Rutong covering his mouth was like iron, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't make it deviate by half a slight.
Zhang Rutong watched him struggle with cold eyes, and Gongsun Shao's face was uncomfortably swollen because of holding his breath, and he was unmoved. Gongsun Shao was very scared, and his friend who had a good conversation with him not long ago seemed to be a different person.
When Gongsun Shao was about to roll his eyes, Zhang Rutong let go of his hand and returned to his gentle appearance, he patted Gongsun Shao's back to help Gongsun Shao, who kept coughing, to calm his breath.
"Uh, Gongsun, are you okay, I, I was excited just now, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Gongsun Shao was furious, where did he get this kind of anger, he raised his head and was about to give Zhang Rutong a good look, but when he saw Zhang Rutong looking sad and crying and blaming himself, he was confused again.
"You ......"
Zhang Rutong smiled bitterly and lowered his voice and said to him:
"Yes, you saw it right, it was indeed Princess Wuxuan, Princess Yi'an of the previous dynasty. The rumors are true, I do admire Princess Yi'an. But that's just my unilateral admiration, princess, she, she, who has long been a wife, doesn't know about it, and has nothing to do with her. Gongsun, I hit it off with you at first sight, and I only told you alone, and I hope you will help me keep this secret. ”
Gongsun Shao ate soft and not hard, and was suddenly deflated, he remembered his family affairs and his rude fiancée, and he was also sad and related.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry, alas, no wonder you are twenty-seven or eighteen years old and haven't gotten along with each other yet. Don't say it, don't say it, it's all sad, let's go have a drink, don't worry, God knows this secret, you know it, I know. ”
On the other side, Yan Jing entered the table and sat down.
The banquet was full of female dependents, and the two positions at the top were vacant, which should have been reserved for Empress Xiao and the old lady of the Weiguo Mansion who had not yet arrived.
Wan Yanjing was arranged in the second echelon, surrounded by young and famous women.
She looked down, Zhu Lingzhu sat with her mother-in-law, and when she saw her, she winked at her, and raised her chin to the opposite side to signal her to look at something.
Sitting opposite Zhu Lingzhu was also a noble woman, followed by a woman in a yellow shirt.
The wife is Lord Huang's wife, and the woman in the yellow shirt is Huang Shaolan, who Zhu Lingzhu hates very much, the daughter of the imperial doctor who has been widowed twice and is rumored to be pregnant.
Huang Shaolan has a small appearance, but she can't hide the weakness and haggard in her expression even more when she wears heavy makeup, and she frowns even more in the face of the delicacies on the table, and her throat moves slightly, as if she is enduring nausea, looking at this look like she is pregnant.
Wan Yanjing looked over and found that Huang Shaolan had also been looking at her with a gloomy expression, and while looking at her, she was still talking to the young woman sitting behind her.
The young woman listened to what Huang Shaolan said, and also looked at Wan Yanjing, looking at this situation, Huang Shaolan was obviously saying bad things about her.
At the beginning of the banquet, the graceful and luxurious Empress Xiao and the old lady of the Weiguo Mansion who were full of silver threads took the first place in the sharp announcement of the eunuch.
Soon after Empress Xiao gave birth, her body was weak, and she left the venue to return to the palace soon after the banquet, and the old lady did not sit for too long. Without the main family, this banquet can be regarded as the official beginning, and the ladies have no scruples, relax and talk, laugh and laugh, eat and drink at will.
The group of old ladies sitting next to Wan Yanjing are all human spirits.
They also heard about Yan Jing's commotion in the garden, and the young women sitting below looked at her quietly and whispered about her, but the group of old women around her were silent.
They chatted with Wan Yanjing about some light-hearted and happy topics kindly, their faces were all loving and peaceful, and Wan Yanjing was happy with them.
The young woman beside Huang Shaolan has a slender figure, a fair face, like a flawless jade, and her facial features are mediocre, but her white and delicate skin and dignified book temperament make her look a little unusual.
Mrs. Huang was born in a Jiangnan family, and Jiang Mingyu, a young woman with a bookish temperament, was a girl sent by her mother's family, and wanted to ask her to ask for a good family in the capital.
Although Jiang Mingyu is a woman, she has read many books, and her vision is naturally different, she is impatient to talk to Huang Shaolan, but she is not good at offending this sister, so she has to laugh and agree.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for another female companion who was good with Huang Shaolan to sit over, and Tang Xiuer, who was newly seated, was not doing well at her husband's house, and had more complaints than Huang Shaolan, what they said was particularly speculative, it was simply a smelly sumo, Jiang Mingyu only needed to nod on the side, and the pressure was much less.
Tang Xiuer complained about the fox who entered the mansion after her husband Jun Xinna, and then turned the topic to Wan Yanjing.
They have too much hostility towards Wan Yan Jing, probably because Wan Yan Jing is close to their age and has a better life than them.
Most of the people who are close in age to Shangjing are busy with their husbands and children, and even many are not allowed to go out, Tang Xiuer's mother-in-law died early, and her husband is busy playing with herself, so she has a lot of opportunities to go out and chat.
Huang Shaolan is even more desperate, she doesn't even have her husband's house, and she is a frequent visitor to the villages in Beijing.
Wan Yanjing, the princess, is not cared for, but she doesn't know what to do, not only does she not join their small group, but she also sneers at them, which will inevitably become a thorn in their side.
Not to mention, Tang Xiuer was slapped by Wan Yanjing not long ago.
