Chapter Ninety-Five: Good Intentions
Taishi An wanted to marry his second daughter into the Three Princes' Mansion immediately, and the saint did not express his position on the spot, but just said that he would tell the Third Prince first and see what the Third Prince meant.
And the news that this second lady was going to enter the Three Princes' Mansion spread quickly. Nowadays, what the people discuss after tea and dinner is that the three princes hugged the two sisters of the Taishi Mansion in one fell swoop, and the two daughters served a husband together, envying others.
Within half a month, a piece of news came out of the palace and reached the ears of the ladies of various dignitaries and relatives of the emperor.
In the name of the golden autumn chrysanthemum, the Jiagu royal family will invite all people of status and status to bring their daughters to participate in the golden chrysanthemum feast, and all the princes and nobles will participate.
As soon as this news came out, all the jewelry, fat powder shops and clothing factories were in full swing for a while, and business was very good.
Ji Yao looked at the invitation letter that had just been delivered to her, and the corners of her eyebrows twitched.
There was no accident, An Wan'er also received it.
What kind of golden chrysanthemum feast, it is clear that it is a large-scale blind date, this emperor is looking for a wife and concubine for his sons, it is estimated that the focus is still for his precious third prince.
When Taishi An heard the news, his face was cloudy, not good-looking, and after listening to his request, the emperor directly made such a play, indicating that he didn't want his family to be dominant, and also indirectly told him that it was not so easy to enter the Three Kings' Mansion.
The second lady was quite happy.
"Wan'er, don't be angry, this is a good opportunity specially given to you by the saint, you must behave well, and when the time comes, the third prince will know who is the most suitable woman to stand by his side." ”
An Wan'er pursed her mouth: "Hmph, I don't care to compare with them, who doesn't know that I am a famous beauty in the Jiagu Dynasty." ”
"Yes, Wan'er, standing there is already better than them, but if the third prince takes a fancy to it, it will be even better. The second lady picked up a piece of cloth and gestured it on An Wan'er.
"These colors are not good enough, and I will re-order a few batches. ”
The servant beside him took the order, picked up the cloth that had been thrown on the table, and prepared to go out.
"Wait. An Wan'er suddenly stopped the servant.
She picked up one of the pieces and looked at it, a smile on her lips.
"Send this cloth to the eldest lady, saying that it was specially prepared by me and my mother, I hope she can accept this heart, you speak quickly. ”
And the servant took the command and went out.
The second lady looked at the cloth and suddenly understood.
"Daughter, you're still smart. "This eldest lady An Qu'er has always paid little attention to all kinds of gossip in the DPRK and China, and she must not know this news.
Ji Yao looked at the newly sent cloth and was a little confused.
The fabric looks good, the style and color are very new, it doesn't look like old goods, these women will be so kind?
"It's better not to wear this color. "The ghost of the Grand Lady came out of the wall.
"Why?" Ji Yao didn't understand.
This pale pink-green, which is close to the macaron color, is quite fashionable in modern times, and it seems that it takes a lot of effort to dye this color in ancient times, and there are not many people who are suitable for wearing it, and the yellow and black complexion is not suitable, but fortunately, Ji Yao's skin itself is white, and with this color, it looks even more white and tender.
"My good sister, the late Third Princess, Concubine Jing, loved this color the most when she was alive, almost all of her clothes were this color, she fell ill and died when the Third Prince was more than nine years old, but anyone who knows will never wear this color to such a grand event. ”
"This is a bit excessive, can't he not wear this color all over the world because his mother likes this color, does the third prince have a rule that he can't wear this color?" Ji Yao felt that this royal family was too authoritarian.
"Well, no. The eldest lady thought for a while: "However, there is a reason why everyone doesn't dare to wear it, I heard that the third prince was unhappy when he saw someone wearing this color, and even the person who wore this color would hate it." ”
"What the hell is wrong with this. Ji Yao raised her eyebrows: "I wore this color before, and were all the people he hated women?"
The eldest lady nodded.
Ji Yao smiled, it seems that it has nothing to do with this color, mainly because some women with other plans wore clothes of this color, wanting to please the third prince, but they didn't expect to touch a thorn.
She decided to go with this color, and besides, she was going to do something else.
When the second lady and the second lady heard that the eldest lady had taken the cloth to make ready-to-wear, they were extra happy, and kindly sent some jewelry fat powder over, intending to rebuild it.
Ji Yao happily accepted all the orders.
The Three Princes' Mansion.
In the study, the third prince Shen Tuyun is painting, and the second prince Shen Tumo is sitting on the side sipping a little wine and watching, at present, the only one who has been named the prince is the third prince.
"I said third brother, An Jinghou stuffed the two daughters to you, and you took them all as ordered, and proposed to your father what kind of golden chrysanthemum feast, so many people would accompany you. ”
"That An Qu'er was told by my mother before her death, I don't object, now An Taishi will give me another one, it depends on whether I want to or not, it's not a woman, I have to accept it." "Shen Tuyun mentioned this and did not stop.
"Yo he, you still want to pick and choose goods, you are much worse than me, when the time comes, I advise you to take pity on the jade, I heard that An Wan'er looks like a flower and jade, that An Qu'er, not many people have seen her, don't you worry, that eldest lady is an ugly monster?" Shen Tumo smiled evilly.
"I let Granny Zhang go to see it, she is a good girl who is knowledgeable and reasonable, she has a good character, she is also handsome and lovely, she is the woman that my mother chose for me, and I can choose the rest, I will definitely have more than one woman in Shentuyun in the future, but there is only one hostess position by my side, An Qu'er is not suitable, and I will know later,. ”
"Everyone in the world says I'm romantic, but you're the old fox!" Shen Tumo was indignant on the side.
Shen Tuyun smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued to splash ink.
A woman's appearance is never the most important thing in his eyes, but a smart woman can help him take care of the overall situation and understand the general situation.
The Golden Chrysanthemum Ceremony was held in the garden of the Jiagu Palace as scheduled.
On the road leading to the palace, carriages entered the palace gate in an orderly manner, and the size and magnificence of the carriages directly swore the identity and status of the people sitting inside.
An Taishi entered the palace early in the morning, and the second lady and An Wan'er sat in the same carriage, and An Qu'er sat in another one.
"Xiao Rong, can you see clearly, the eldest lady is wearing those pale green clothes?" An Wan'er asked.
"See, miss, it's that color. When she went out, Xiao Rong deliberately hid in the corner and peeked, although the eldest lady wore a cloak outside, but the exposed skirt corners were indeed that color.
"It's so good, it depends on how she touches the stab at the third prince. An Wan'er smiled like a flower: "Mother, do you see if my hair is messy?"
"It's not messy, it's beautiful. The second lady looked at her daughter with a smile, and her proud expression was self-evident.
Ji Yao sat in the carriage, and Xiao Zhen helped her pinch her shoulders on the side.
"Xiao Zhen, today let you see what it means to be jealous. Ji Yao had a hunch that there would be a big drama today, and she was now in the mood to attend the Golden Ju Festival with a good show.
"Why am I a little worried about you. Xiao Zhen was always not very relieved, especially the second lady's appearance of being courteous and attentive, she was even more uneasy.
"What are you afraid of, you can't eat me, I won't mess with them, they just don't mess with me, there are so many rich ladies here today, and they can't take care of me. ”
Xiao Zhen smiled bitterly, her own young lady had already become a thorn in the side of others since she was married to the third prince. Other young ladies are estimated to be not much better than An Wan'er.
