Chapter 59 Zhen's Amo, Dong's Ayin
"Mrs. Kong and Mrs. Zhen have entered the second door and are being accompanied by the Duke's wife to Yuanying Hall."
Entering and reporting happily, Yijing withdrew his mind slightly and took back the critical look that stayed on Xie Sanniang for a long time.
Whether it is based on distance or proximity, it is reasonable for the people of the King of Chu's Mansion, as close neighbors and relatives, to come to celebrate their birthdays with their grandmothers, but when they can't sit on a cup of tea, the women of Zhengong Mansion, who have no close contact with the Wei Mansion, become the second guest, even earlier than the foreign ancestor Jianning House. After half an hour, it made the scenery feel strange.
When she saw the third mother behind Mrs. Xie, the scene smelled a conspiracy.
Generally, as a concubine, she is not qualified to attend such a grand and formal banquet. Of course, it seems that several royal noble daughters of Anhui have two words, but Xie Sanniang is obviously not included in this exception.
But she not only came, but also since she entered the main hall, the old princess has not praised her.
What made Yijing even more angry was that Xie Sanniang was meditating. Under the praise of the old princess, her resentful eyes were constantly projected on Yu Yu, who was sitting still on the opposite side, without concealing it.
Except for the old princess and the ignorant Ba Niang, everyone in the hall felt Xie Sanniang's resentment.
The king of Chu and the prince did not squint and seemed to see it.
General Zhenguo and the Yuzhou brothers also pretended not to notice.
The general's wife frequently exchanged glances with Mrs. Xie.
The eldest princess looked a little impatient.
The little women in the Duke of Wei's Mansion were divided into two groups and sat quietly with a smile on the embroidery pier behind the eldest princess. Er Niang and San Niang gradually couldn't help whispering and began to peep at the situation of the son of the King of Chu and Xie Sanniang. Even Liu Niang bit Yijing's ears and expressed a comment - I don't like Xie Sanniang.
Yijing nods heavily - looking at such a situation, it must have been Xiao Xie's tricks to force the Zhengongfu not to give up the marriage, but Xie Sanniang should blame for Xiao Xie and her parents, who only looked at Yu Yu, which made people feel aggrieved.
Therefore, beautiful scenery looked at Xie Sanniang with some anger.
Others still didn't notice it. Only Yuzhou has been thinking about the beautiful scenery since he came in, and felt the uncompetence around her body - the person she was aiming at was Xie Sanniang. Suddenly, something was also covered with a layer of coldness between his eyebrows. Suddenly, he looked at the beautiful scenery and suddenly stared at Yu Yu with great unhappily.
Yi Jing also noticed Yu Zhou's eyes and simply stared at him fiercely.
Yu Zhou was stunned again, subconsciously avoiding his eyes, and his heart seemed to be blocked by a layer of white folds.
Of course, the scenery also pays attention to Yu Yu--
His look has recovered well. The darkness of his eyebrows when we met has dissipated, and the past moonlight has been restored. He is still as gentle as ever. No matter how much the old princess praises Xie Sanniang, and no matter how angry Xie Sanniang glared, he only smiled and sat quietly with his eyes, as if at the root Just in another space and time, not in these disturbances.
Only once, it seemed to feel the gaze of the scenery, and quietly met her in the air with a single look, and left.
But it was a chance encounter with such a look that suddenly made Yijing stunned and fell into inexplicable sadness.
Until the old princess's words, "Shangyuan, look at my fan, which is Sanniang's craft. Such a complicated double-sided embroidery is difficult for her to have a pair of skillful hands to be so bright. What do you think?"
The eldest princess knows the "hidden feelings", so she just said perfunctorily: "It's better than the maids around me."
Yijing almost couldn't help laughing. Her grandmother was really cruel. At least Xie Sanniang was also a concubine of the Duke of Zhen. She actually compared her with the maid, which was to gently remind the old princess that this woman was not suitable for the concubine of the world.
I don't want the old princess to follow: "I really think this child is good, quiet and gentle, and really pleasing. I just want to be a month old... Look at her and your son..."
As soon as this word came out, not only the scenery was good, but also everyone in the hall was shocked!
Er Niang and San Niang opened their eyes at the same time - what's wrong with the old princess? Originally, she thought that she was full of praise for Xie Sanniang, but when she saw Xie Sanniang's eyes looking at the son of the king of Chu, she thought it was the future concubine. Why did her mouth turn sharply and pull her brother again?
Even if there is such a meaning, how can the old princess mention it without hesitation in front of so many people on such an occasion?
A common woman, how can she be qualified to be the future mistress of the Duke of Wei!
Xie Sanniang was full of surprises and looked at the eldest princess with expectation. She never thought that things would turn around like this.
Little Xie almost jumped up from the chair in no hurry, his eyes widened, and looked at his mother-in-law - what's going on? Did this old lady understand their calculations?
In fact, everyone misunderstood the old princess.
It turned out that since Xiao Xie secretly spread those rumors, the prince of Zhen, who had made up his mind to refuse this marriage, also wavered under the double persuasion of his father, Duke of Zhen and his wife - at this point, others thought that San Niang and the son of Chu had been settled. If he refused, it would undoubtedly be swept away. The face of the king's mansion completely offends people. Even Sanniang also bears the notoriety of regretful marriage in vain. She is a commoner, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to get any good marriage in the future. What's more, the emperor and the empress dowager value the son of the king of Chu, which is undoubtedly another heavy pressure. Since the emperor ascended to the throne, the Duke of Zhen The government is not as dependent as before. Is it because of a common daughter that the wealth and glory of the Manchu people are ignored?
Thinking of this, the prince of Zhenguo has the intention to compromise.
The old princess was naturally happy and quickly asked her son to propose marriage, but she didn't expect the king of Chu to escape from the empress dowager——
"The Empress Dowager refused, saying that Xie Sanniang is not a good match regardless of talent or identity."
The old princess suddenly became anxious. Originally, because of her bumpy childhood and had been living abroad with her biological mother for many years, she finally returned to the Xie family and became a princess as the eldest daughter. However, because she lived in the market since childhood, she suffered a lot and did not have the opportunity to know books and etiquette, let alone the intrigues of this high-class family. The rules only simply think that the eldest princess of Shangyuan has always been close to the empress dowager, and she does not look down on Xie Sanniang as a common daughter. Once she proposes to match Xie Sanniang and Su Yu, Shangyuan will definitely find an excuse to refuse and be wary. When he sighs again and leads the words to Yuer, Shangyuan Cong Hui must know his intention. Maybe he can push the boat along the water and persuade the empress dowager to promise this marriage.
I never thought that there were so many juniors present that they should not have mentioned marriage in public, let alone implicated Su Xing for no reason.
The eldest princess turned her mind and realized that her second sister-in-law was confused again. She couldn't laugh or cry. She couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "You always know my temperament, and you like some children who jump off."
turned out to be shameless and directly denied the second sister-in-law of the "old moon" who led the red line.
The old princess choked in her throat what she had planned, so she had to smile awkwardly: "I didn't think about it for a while. Shangyuan just took it as a joke."
"Second sister-in-law is naturally a joke." The eldest princess didn't look at Xie Sanniang.
Xie Sanniang's hope was empty, her face turned red with resentment, and she almost burst into tears. She stared at Yu's wet eyes, adding a little more resentment.
Looking at Yijing, he only felt that his heart was furious and there was a tendency to erupt. Fortunately, his grandmother and his party arrived in time, and the king of Chu naturally took his son and other male guests to the front yard.
The old princess kept the embarrassed women's family members of the Zhenguo Mansion, still accompanying the eldest princess to meet the guests. By the way, she constantly praised Xie Sanniang in front of everyone, hoping to create the momentum of three marriages with the Zhengong Mansion.
Binjing obviously sensed the subtle look of the next few guests, and it seemed that he knew something.
Her mood became heavier and heavier.
It was not until she heard that Mrs. Kong, the mother of the queen, and Mrs. Zhen, the mother of the crown princess, came hand in hand, that she turned her mind - Yu Yu must have a plan and should not be successful by Xiao Xie's treachery. Today, Zhen's fourth mother is the one she wants to deal with carefully.
Although the main hall of Yuanying Hall is large, it can't accommodate one after another guests. Therefore, when a group of people came, a group of people were taken elsewhere by the Li family. Therefore, when they heard that the two wives Kong and Zhen were about to come, all the people sitting there and left and left with the Li family, the eldest princess was really impatient with the old princess's chatter and said to her: " Second sister-in-law, today's guests are like clouds. I will inevitably neglect you. I will talk to you in detail when I have time another day. It's noisy here. You'd better go to the yard and be quiet for a while. You didn't like these socializing, so it's hard for you to spend so long today.
The old princess left with Xiao Xie and Mrs. Xie, who were secretly annoyed with embarrassment, left.
"The quiet and gentle with a sad face finally left." Er Niang whispered with disdain: "Look at her unhappy face. As for her identity and temperament, she is not worthy of the son of the King of Chu. I really don't know what to do."
Sanniang was a little sorry: "Who made the son of the king of Chu suffer from a bad disease?"
The eldest princess obviously heard the gossip of her two granddaughters and turned her head slightly and glanced at them: "Don't talk about gossip."
Er Niang and San Niang immediately sat upright.
The maids took down the remaining tea and replaced it with new tea. Then they saw Huang coming in with the two noble women. The little women immediately got up to welcome the ceremony. At the first glance, they locked Zhen Si Niang, who met again in another world.
Although Mrs. Kong and Mrs. Zhen are followed by a group of warblers and swallows, Zhen Si Niang, who is tall, beautiful and born with a little heroic and free temperament, is still so eye-catching and her manners are also generous, which really makes beautiful scenes confused - just like the person he was familiar with in his previous life, she can't imagine She is the cruel and watery woman in Du Yuniang's mouth.
seemed to feel the beauty. After sitting down, Zhen Siniang looked up at the beauty and gave her a smiling face.
Mrs Zhen was still so arrogant. She only made a few words with the eldest princess, and her eyes habitually went down the bridge of her nose and looked at the little ladies behind the eldest princess. Yijing noticed that her eyes had stayed on the eldest sister for a long time.
Mrs. Kong paid more attention to the day and praised her without concealment.
After Xie Sanniang left the banquet, Yichen suddenly became the focus of the ladies. She was a little unaccustomed to it. A straight face was stained with a layer of shallow Yan.
The eldest princess was also thoughtful, but she didn't answer much. She only praised several little women of the Kong family politely.
"My granddaughters are still young and arrogant, not as well as your teaching by the eldest princess." Mrs. Kong is also modest.
Yingjing cheered up, silently paying attention to the profound euphemistic words of the ladies in the hall, cleverly speaking those eight exquisite scenes, and quietly dark Chen warehouse.
For example, Mrs. Zhen, after listening to the mutual praise between Mrs. Kong and the eldest princess for a while, quietly led the topic to Zhen Si Niang: "My Amo, when I mentioned Ajing at home, is always talking about Ajing, so I look forward to visiting today and communicating with Ajing. I don't know why the eldest princess* *'S granddaughter is so excellent. A Jing is only twelve years old. She won the first place twice at the Fanglin banquet. Especially this spring, the song "Spring Xiaoyin" has been praised by many people. Amo is also happy with the rhythm. She has always been a little conceited, but she also claims that she is out of reach.
Bing secretly praised Mrs. Zhen's temperament, although she was a little arrogant, she was very communicative. On the surface, she praised herself and flattered her grandmother. In her words, she also vaguely praised her daughter - she was good at rhythm, like her eldest brother, but she was humble, and thought that she was not as good as others.
But she quickly got up and blessed Mrs. Zhen: "Madam praised that the little girl was ashamed. Originally, it was because she was young that the Empress Dowager took care of one or two and took advantage of it."
Amo, the fourth mother of the Zhen family, immediately smiled and said, "Don't be modest. It's getting more and more embarrassing. Although I'm a few years old, I sincerely admire your talent."
"What Amo said is that since the founding of Dalong and the Empress Dowager Xiande began to hold a fragrant forest banquet, who can win the championship for two consecutive years? What's more, A Jing is so young that he only participated in it twice and won the first place twice. Among these little women, only Huang's Yue Niang can be beautiful with A Jing. Mrs. Shen also came to have fun, and her eyes looking at the beautiful scenery were very meaningful.
The noble daughter will not be invited to the banquet until she reaches the age of ten, and Huang Jiangyue and beautiful scenery have indeed won the first place twice, and made those elderly daughters lose convincingly.
Mrs. Shen secretly felt that several princes had been married this year, and her daughter had already reminded that both the emperor and the empress dowager had an intention of Aunt Su. Unfortunately, the prince had already been married. According to the power of the Duke of Wei, she would not agree to let her daughter be the side room. The daughter repeatedly told the noble concubine that she seemed to want to fight for this marriage for the fourth prince and must not let the mother and son succeed.
The Duke of Wei is high and powerful, and there is also the eldest princess behind him...
Although today's emperor has a lot of direct concubines and has been established in the East Palace, the position of the prince is very strong. However, the biological mother of the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince are all in the concubine position. There is a force behind him, which may not be a threat.
The fifth prince is still young, and there will be no meeting this year.
The fourth prince has become the biggest threat, and he must not be allowed to get such a backer as the Duke of Wei again.
Only the third prince is suitable... Although he is not his daughter and has the royal bloodline of Xiliang, he has been unruly since childhood and does not want a proper career. He only likes to recite the wind and the moon, and has a deep affection for the prince, which is the least threat.
The crown princess still felt unsteady, so she intended to marry Zhen's Amo and the son of the Duke of Wei, and her daughter also felt that this plan was very appropriate.
However, when I see this Su's fifth daughter today, she is not only talented, generous and outstanding in appearance, but also better than the Su aunt. Her age is suitable for five, six and seven princes, if in the future...
We also have to remind our daughter to increase the embankment, and we must not let the fifth wife of the Su family marry the prince as a concubine again.
Mrs Shen also praised Zhen's Amo: "Actually, Amo's piano and paintings are also outstanding. No wonder they are so similar to Ajing."
The eldest princess vaguely understood the purpose of these two national relatives today and also looked at Zhen Si Niang carefully. Seeing that although she was two years older than her eldest grandson, she was dignified and generous, her temperament was outstanding, her body was also very healthy, straightforward and stable, and she was also a little moved, so she asked Zhen Si Niang a few more words, which naturally made Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhen is in full bloom.
However, on such an occasion, it is not suitable to talk about the point of mind and words.
But Linglong suddenly reported that Mrs. Dong had arrived.
"A Ruan? Why is she here? The eldest princess was very surprised.
After searching in my memory for a while, I suddenly realized.
Mrs. Dong's wife, Ruan, was originally a female general of the Feifeng Department. Her father was awarded the title of Jingyuan when he was Gaozu, and she was very close to the eldest princess.
Ruan was widowed when he was only 40 years old, and he had only one son under his knees. In his early years, he was sent to Huguang to serve as political history. Naturally, the Ruan family naturally followed his son and did not return to Beijing for many years.
Therefore, the eldest princess was so surprised when she heard her come to the door.
It turned out that the emperor intended to transfer Lord Dong back to the capital, so the family returned to the capital, but only arrived three days ago. Ruan wanted to surprise the eldest princess, so he did not inform him in advance.
followed by Ruan's granddaughter, Dong Yin, the eldest daughter of Lord Dong.
The eldest princess saw that the little girl who was learning words in those years was already graceful and was about to be happy. For a moment, she only took Dong Yin's hand and had an endless farewell relationship with Ruan, and unconsciously ignored the two wives Shen and Zhen aside.
At first, no one cared.
But when the eldest princess suddenly asked, "Do you remember that Yin Niang is almost there?"
"Yes, I will prepare her gift at the end of the year."
"Have you ever talked about marriage?" Unexpectedly, he blurted out.
"No."
The eldest princess looked at Dong Yin carefully and asked her what books she had read, what talents she was good at, and her concern was clear at a glance.
Mrs Shen and Mrs. Zhen felt that things were not good and frowned slightly.
And the scenery is quiet and quiet, and some memories are clearer.
In her previous life, she didn't pay attention to her grandmother's preference for Dong Yin - as soon as they met, she asked about her marriage, and the intention was obvious.
At this time, I gradually remembered that since Ruan's return to Beijing, he often came to welcome his grandmother. Dong Yin also became a regular guest and seemed to be very similar to his eldest sister, and the eldest brother seemed to have a little good impression on this gentle and understanding girl.
If it hadn't been for the accident that Dong Yin's misfortune, the eldest brother's marriage might have changed long ago...
Thinking of this, beautiful scenery couldn't help looking at Zhen Mo. Sure enough, she saw her deep eyes staring at Dong Yin sitting next to her grandmother. Although the smile on her face did not diminish, her eyes were gloomy, but there was a cold glimpse.
That look and the scenery are not strange. On the night of the Lantern Festival for ten years, the candle shadows are shaking red, and Yuzhou and winter rain have the same coldness in their eyes.
That's murderous intent.
I only feel a kind of coolness, hovering up from the spine, and the meridians are cold.
The human heart is really unfathomable. The palm of the scenery is slightly tight, but it turns its head and smiles at Dong Yin.
