Chapter 245 Revealing the People Behind the Scenes 1

Three days later, Xia Mengning got up early and was dressed up by Jiu'er, so she sat in a carriage and prepared to go to the Changting River.

This time, Dongling Xingluo invited everyone to go boating. Naturally, it will not be without a name. Now Dongling Xingluo borrowed this name to make close friends in the capital. Because she comes from the Western Regions, she is not very familiar with the capital, so she takes this opportunity to make more friends.

The Changting River is a river in the south of the capital. The river flows from the north and runs through the whole northern country. As early as the beginning of the founding of the North, merchants took a fancy to these business opportunities. Many shops were built along the river, most of which are mainly calligraphy, paintings and jade. Because the Changting River is famous, many young masters are willing to rent it. A small boat enjoys the scenery on the river, so this calligraphy, painting and jade are naturally indispensable for them who are vassal and elegant.

Xia Mengning came to the Changting River in a carriage. When she got out of the carriage, she saw that there were people coming and going everywhere. Today, Dongling Xingluo wrapped boats and boats on the whole river, and also sent a lot of guards to guard here. Therefore, although this place is crowded, there are no many people who dare to go to the place near the river. Close to.

Xia Mengning held Jiu'er's hand and walked out of the carriage. Wu Qing, who was driving the car, jumped off the carriage with a sword on his back. Seeing this scene, Wu Qing whistled excitedly and smiled, "It's really a princess's appearance. It's so powerfully wrapped the whole river."

Xia Mengning gently tapped her lips with a veil and stared at Wu Qing, "Don't shout. Be careful of being caught by others."

Wu Qing stuck out his tongue mischievously and poked Jiu'er with his elbow. "You can accompany the lady to the boat later. I'll go around to see the terrain."

Xia Mengning walked forward and whispered, "Be careful not to be found."

Wu Qing blinked his eyes and slipped away quietly.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er walked forward together. Dongling Xingluo was standing there to greet the guests. Today, Dongling Xingluo was wearing a red peony brocade long coat, covered with a buttoned lucky coat of the same color, combing the tedious lily cloud bun, and the hair was covered with hollow flying phoenix red gold, and the whole person was like too The sun is dazzling and eye-catching.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er walked in front of them. Dongling Xingluo maintained a dignified and decent smile on her face and greeted, "It's really an honor for me to see Princess Hehe. It's really an honor for me to come."

Xia Mengning sneered in her heart, but she also had a dignified and respectful smile on her face. "I dare not. It's also an honor for me to be invited by the princess."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was Zheng Ruilan and Xia Mengran.

In terms of grade, Zheng Ruilan and Xia Mengran are both gradeless. Naturally, they have to salute Xia Mengning. Zheng Ruilan saluted neatly, but Xia Mengran is awkward and unwilling to salute Xia Mengning.

Dongling Xingluo had expected this scene for a long time. Changsun Mo told him not to have a head-on conflict with Xia Mengning today, so as not to ruin the big deal, so he sent people to deliberately lead the carriage of the royal palace a few times in the morning. When Xia Mengning came, he took them back here and let Xia Mengning and Zheng Ruilan collide head-on. Well, I can't confront Xia Mengning head-on, which makes Xia Mengran come forward. More than one person knows about the bad relationship between their sisters. Now that they bump into each other like this, I'm not afraid of adding blockage to Xia Mengning's heart.

Thinking of this, Dongling Xingluo stood aside and deliberately gestured, "Second Lady, who is this one behind you? Why can't I salute when I see Princess Hehe? Is it that the face of the concubine and the princess of Hehe is not big enough?

Xia Mengning sneered in her heart. This Dongling Xingluo really couldn't live in peace for a moment and wanted to deliberately provoke trouble?

Zheng Ruilan was stunned, and then saw the meaning of Dongling Xingluo. Anyway, Xia Mengran and Xia Mengning hated them to the bone. Now if they can follow Dongling Xingluo's hand to revenge, why not do it?

Thinking of this, Zheng Ruilan hurriedly saluted sideways and said, "Don't blame the princess. This is Aunt Ran of the royal palace. Maybe she has never seen such a scene, and some of them may be frightened."

What he said is to show that Xia Mengran is short-sighted and has no knowledge.

Xia Mengran's face has turned into a pig's liver color, but he doesn't dare to speak. His current identity is here. How can it be his turn to speak?

Dongling Xingluo listened and pretended to be surprised to lean over and look at it. Then she covered her mouth and withdrew her eyes and said with a smile, "It was this Aunt Ran, huh? How can I remember that my aunt is the concubine's sister of Princess Hehe... Why don't she not say hello, but she can't be polite? Is this the rule of the Prime Minister's mansion? Although this daughter is married, she is also a person who walks out of the Prime Minister's mansion anyway. If she does things outside like this, I'm afraid it will involve the names of other people in the house. What about the sound..."

Hearing this, Zheng Ruilan turned his body without a trace and exposed Xia Mengran behind him to everyone. He didn't want to have anything to do with it.

Xia Mengning's face was indifferent. She looked at the scenery around her sideways, as if she didn't care at all about Dongling Xingluo's mulberry and scolding.

Xia Mengran's face turned red. Now it's not salute or not. For a while, Xia Mengran was so anxious that he lowered his head and dared not raise it.

When Dongling Xingluo saw that Xia Mengning was not tricked, she was indignant, but she refused to let go of such a good opportunity. She turned her eyes. Dongling Xingluo continued, "However, when I heard that my aunt had lost her child a few days ago, she must be very sad. It is reasonable to forget the etiquette at this time. Princess He did not It's going to be blamed again."

After saying this, it turned out that Xia Mengning was blaming Xia Mengran for not saluteing. Xia Mengran listened and secretly looked up at Xia Mengning beside him. Seeing that Xia Mengning was looking around the scenery as if it was none of her own business, she couldn't help but be angry. No matter what she said, she was a family with her. She was so cruel to be in front of everyone. It's hard for yourself, don't relieve yourself.

Xia Mengran was angry in her heart, and then stabilized her mind. She walked weakly to Xia Mengning and said sadly, "My maidservant has seen the princess, and the princess is Wan'an."

There seems to be infinite grievances and a last resort in this voice. Xia Mengran was originally wrapped in light makeup. Now such a line of gifts is even more delicate, making many Wang Sun's eyes around look this way.

Xia Mengning turned her head and said in a faint voice, "Get up."

Xia Mengran didn't expect Xia Mengning to be like this, so how could she show her grievances and Xia Mengning's arrogance in front of everyone?

Thinking of this, Xia Mengran not only did not get up, but continued to lower her body. "The princess doesn't forgive the maidservant. The maidservant dares not get up. Please forgive the maidservant."

With that, as if he had suffered some great grievance, he bowed his head and cried secretly, as if he had been bullied by Xia Mengning.

Many people around looked this way. Many new daughters and princes came over at the same time. Seeing this scene, they began to whisper to each other.

"This Princess Hehe is really, how can she be ugly to the common sister in public..."

"That's right. I think it's great that I've sealed the princess. It's not the glory I got by showing up. What's there to show off..."

"That's right, the serious lady won't make a living..."

Xia Mengning looked at Xia Mengran faintly and said calmly, "Auntie, if you are here, I'm going to find my father to judge. I ask why my aunt has to pretend like this every time she gets along with me outside. Do you have to let me get off the stage?"

Xia Mengran was stunned, and her tears were about to fall fiercely. She cried and said, "Princess, please forgive me, princess. As a princess now, you naturally say whatever you say. My concubine dares not argue with you."

Xia Mengning held her forehead and looked at Xia Mengran with disgust. I don't know why Xia Mengran, who used to be energetic, became such stupid. Unexpectedly, she couldn't see Dongling Xingluo's clumsy provocation and jumped into the pit dug by others.

Do you have such a nuisance?

Xia Mengning rubbed her temples tiredly and sighed, "I have never blamed you. You didn't salute, and I didn't force you to salute me. Did you say this to make these people think it's my fault, so that I feel sorry for you? Fifth sister, if I am so cruel, there will be many ways. Can I still make you cry in front of me like this now?

"The princess really didn't embarrass others, and I can testify to this."

At this moment, a majestic voice came. Everyone turned their heads and saw Zheng Yuxiu, dressed in a phoenix robe, coming, followed by Changsun Xinyue and a group of daughters.

Seeing Zheng Yuxiu, everyone hurriedly knelt down to salute. Zheng Yuxiu smiled and said, "The scenery of the Changting River is beautiful. Even I can't help but want to come here to play. Now it's spring is just right. Everyone doesn't have to be restrained. Get on the boat and go boat."

Everyone nodded and walked away in twos and threes. Xia Mengran was still half squatting and looked at the crowd in astonishment. Xia Mengning threw down her handkerchief and said, "Five sisters have good acting skills. Can't you forget your current situation?"

After saying that, Xia Mengning took a look at Xia Mengran and turned to the big boat.

Seats have been set on the ship. This is the largest boat on the Changting River, which can accommodate more than 100 people to sit down. Xia Mengning sits on the seat arranged by the maid, and next to Changsun Xinyue is nearby.

"Sister Xia." Changsun Xinyue excitedly took Xia Mengning's hand and shouted affectionately, "Sister Xia, what have you been busy with these days? I want to play with you, but my brother said that you were busy and didn't let me disturb you."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Did the princess forget what I'm doing now? Isn't it just those things in the shop? I'm busy every day and can't take time."

When Changsun Xinyue heard this, she lowered her voice with some embarrassment and said, "Sister Xia, they all said that you are self-deprecating, not the behavior of a lady..."

Xia Mengning smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said, "Although I am a woman, I also hope to contribute my own strength for the country. If I can contribute to the country and seek blessings for the people, then even if I depreciate myself, why not?"

Changsun Xinyue listened and looked at Xia Mengning with some admiration. "Sister Xia, you are so awesome. No wonder my father often praises you in front of me, saying that you have insight and courage, and she is a rare intelligent woman."
