Chapter 142 During the Flower Appreciation Meeting
"Princess, is your eldest brother back?" Jiang Ting walked to the main courtyard and asked Princess Antai beside her.
After Liu Ming was thrown into the barracks by King Qing, he was pressed by King Qing to be trained in the barracks at other times except for the New Year. King Qing also blamed his perseverance. He went to the garrison barracks almost every day to see if his son had practiced well...
This is not a secret, and even ordinary people in the capital know it. Not to mention, this matter has produced a lot of advertising effect. Those ordinary people also began to follow the trend. When they reached their age, they did not want to avoid the national recruitment, but consciously sent them to the military camp.
The emperor's own nephew, the eldest son of Prince Qing, were sent to the barracks as soldiers. Naturally, their son will also have to serve the country to be worthy of today's prosperity.
And there is actually a reason why Jiang Ting will ask such a question, because Princess Qing's flower appreciation will bloom too abruptly. Two years ago, she didn't have a flower viewing party at this time, because she didn't like lotus flowers at all. Moreover, to be honest, in the back garden of the royal palace, the lotus flowers are quite ordinary, and there are no precious varieties. Compared with the Merlin inside, it's really not a little worse.
What's more, in the past two years, because of the absence of her beloved eldest son, Princess Qing has been idle and gave birth to a young son... She still thinks she doesn't have enough time to buy children. Where did she come from?
Obviously, something important must have happened in the royal palace that prompted Princess Qing to hold this strange flower appreciation party. Well, no matter what Jiang Ting thinks, it seems that only Liu Ming's return can connect with this flower appreciation party. Because the girls invited by Princess Qing's post are all marriageable women who have not been married at the age of 15 or 16 in each house...
Liu Ming has been in the barracks for nearly three years. He is over 19 years old, but he hasn't been married yet. This flower party looks like it's for a blind date. Jiang Ting is the youngest among the people invited by Princess Qing. However, she will be married in more than half a year, and she can barely be counted as one of the marriageable women.
In fact, she knew that she would receive a post, which was completely called by the main princess of Antai County to play with her. However, I don't know if this is the reason why Princess Qing called Sun Yunlai. She remembers clearly that the "wazi" trip in those years was that Liu Ming entrusted his sister to abduct Sun Yun.
Now they haven't seen each other for three years. I don't know if Liu Ming still has any ideas about this straightforward girl? Thinking of this, Jiang Ting's eyes floated to Sun Yun.
Princess Antai looked at Jiang Ting with a smile and replied, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Tingting. The eldest brother just came back two days ago. You don't know that he is tall and thin now, and he is much darker. He doesn't look as handsome as before. However, there is a lot more masculinity. Even his character has become serious, not as pleasing as before. I privately wanted him to take me to the tile to see the play again, but he didn't want to.
Princess Antai said, and her eyes also floated ambiguously to Sun Yun. Obviously, she has always known her brother's thoughts. Jiang Ting looked at her, her eyes lit up and her heart was clear.
But Sun Yun didn't notice their eyes at all. When she heard Princess Antai say that she was going to the tile to see the play, she couldn't help shivering gently. Obviously, she remembered the punishment she had suffered after the incident. That time, her mother was rarely really angry. She was punished for two months of access control...
Sun Yun turned her head and said to Princess Antai, "Princess, don't want to go to Wazi anymore. That's not the place we should go! If you really want to see the play, please invite the troupe home to watch it.
Princess Antai stared at Sun Yun's words and finally sighed, "Well, you are an elm head. Poor my big brother..."
Sun Yun was confused by her sigh. She turned her eyes to Jiang Ting and asked, "Tingting, what's wrong with her eldest brother?"
Jiang Ting coughed gently, cleared her throat, and then hesitated her: "The princess is fine. She is lamenting that the prince has suffered a great crime in the past three years."
Sun Yun suddenly realized when he heard the words: "Yes, I suffered a lot in the barracks. My eldest brother and second brother all said that training is the hardest. However, they said that what is compared in the barracks is the fist. As long as your fist is big, no one dares to bully you. Princess, let your eldest brother practice well. If you practice kung fu, you won't be guilty."
Princess Antai rolled her eyes, accelerated her pace and ignored her.
"Did I say something wrong?" Sun Yun looked at Jiang Ting doubtfully.
Jiang Ting adjusted her eyes elsewhere and couldn't bear to look at her clear eyes. She shook her head and replied with a smile, "You didn't say anything wrong. Maybe the prince's talent for practicing kung fu is not good, and the princess feels unhappy.
When Princess Antai in front of her heard the words, she turned around and stared at Jiang Ting and said, "Tingting, you are not allowed to mislead her anymore. Her elm head can't make it clear to her. She can't figure it out.
Jiang Ting took two steps forward and pulled Princess Antai to gently persuade her, "Don't be angry. It's not that you don't know what Sister Yun has. She doesn't have those things in her mind. Besides, we can't talk about it. Besides, how can the fate of these parents... be understood by us younger generation?
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sun Yun caught up with the two, looked at this and that, and pouted angrily, "Don't you two have any secrets to tell me? Humph, it's in vain that you are all good sisters!"
This time, Jiang Ting also rolled her eyes at Sun Yun with An Tai and ignored her. This girl is really a elm head!
When they arrived at the main hall of the main courtyard, they knew that many people had come by this time. Jiang Ting and the others saluted the energetic Princess Qing, and saluted the wives and girls of various families. After a few greetings, they listened to Princess Qing's words and sat down obediently.
Princess Qing is a beautiful but cheerful woman. Although because of the middle-aged child, her figure is no longer as exquisite as before. But the plump posture, well-maintained white and tender skin, and the shrewd and wisdom in the eyes of the eyebrows show a different charm of mature women everywhere.
The girls present here are naturally envious and jealous of Jiang Ting and Sun Yi's friendship with the princess. But they all know what they are going to do here today. Therefore, each child sat upright and did not show jealousy of the two.
And the wives who brought their daughters to the flower party are very kind to the princess's good friends and sisters. The main reason is that the two are too young, which may not seem very threatening to the wives in various prefectures.
Jiang Ting knows that she is a soy sauce this time, so she has a good mentality. Watching the beautiful girl sitting in front of you is very enjoyable, at least visually.
Princess Qing said a few words to the girls present with a kind attitude, and after a short time, several ladies from the prince's mansion came. Princess Qing even got up to welcome each other, and really attached great importance to the appearance of this flower meeting.
After that, a servant came up to report that the garden was ready. Princess Qing nodded, turned her head and smiled at the colorful girls in front of her, "You don't have to sit next to us old ladies. I asked someone to prepare some tea in the Bishui Pavilion in the back garden. In addition, several small boats were prepared. The lotus flowers in the Bishui Lake are blooming just right. You can go fishing or pick flowers. You all go and play first. Antai, you have to treat your sisters and friends well."
"Yes, don't worry, mother concubine. Today, I have the help of Tingting and Yunyun. I will definitely take good care of the girls in all prefectures. Princess Antai stood up with a smile and saluted Princess Qing.
"Alas, your sister Ting and Yun are also guests today..." Princess Qing looked helplessly at Princess Antai, who was happy with herself, and waved her hand and said, "Forget forget it. I really don't trust you. Ting, you are the most stable among the three of you. Please help Antai greet the guests.
"Yes, Princess." Jiang Ting got up and saluted, but she smiled bitterly. This soy sauce job is not easy to do!
