Chapter 17 Love Rival?

"Jinyang sent you!"

Xie Tinglan saluted generously, and greeted the wives in front of her.

Mrs. Marquis of Wu'an pulled Xie Tinglan to her side, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and Jinyang has also bloomed, and it's getting better and better! Sit down!"

The maid who was serving at the side hurriedly brought an extra stone stool and asked Xie Tinglan to sit down.

Zhao Wenjin who was standing on the side was even more redundant, gritted his teeth resentfully, and took a few steps back to the side.

Mrs. Qin took the eldest princess's hand, looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist, and envied her, "Jinyang is really filial! These two sets of Jinbao Pavilion's heads can't be obtained by spending money alone!"

Mrs. Gao nodded again and again, "Yes, yes! Last time I asked the maid to line up for several days before I could order a bracelet!"

"Don't show off, Yue'er doesn't know, I ordered a new bracelet from Jinbao Pavilion, but it broke her so badly, she just kept showing off to us. Now she also knows that she is sore!" Mrs. Wu Anhou smiled. Huanshi.

After chatting with a few people, Mrs. Gao curiously asked the eldest princess: "When I came here just now, the atmosphere was not quite right, what happened just now? Today is your birthday, don't get angry today, it's unlucky."

The princess's smile slowed down, she hummed, and took a sip of the tea in front of her.

Seeing that there were more and more people, there were not many seats in the pavilion, and there was no room for them to sit, so Mrs. Wu Anhou proposed to go to the front hall, and it happened to be time for the banquet.

There were more and more noble ladies around her, so the eldest princess could not neglect, so she could only tell Xie Tinglan to hurry up and sit in the front hall, and then left with the lady she knew.

Zhao Wenjin had just lost all face, but when the eldest princess left, she didn't get into the crowd, and she didn't know where to hide.

Yuxiu helped Xie Tinglan walk a little farther away, and after getting rid of the people behind her, she stopped and let out a long sigh of relief.

"I really can't leave Miss alone next time, servant girl." Yuxiu muttered.

Not hearing Xie Tinglan's response, Yuxiu looked over curiously, and saw Xie Tinglan looking at the opposite forest, as if looking for something.

Yuxiu called Xie Tinglan a few times, and when she recovered, she said, "Miss, what are you looking at? So preoccupied?"

Xie Tinglan drooped his eyelashes, scratched the cold stove with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "I'm looking for a fool who is not afraid of the cold."

Yuxiu was stunned, "Is there anyone in the woods? Where is it? Why didn't the maidservant see it?"

Xie Tinglan's eyes were bent into two crescents, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smirk: "Only smart people can see."

After finishing speaking, she passed Yuxiu and walked forward.

Yuxiu was stunned for a few moments, then quickly turned around and chased after her.

Deliberately surrounding Xie Tinglan, he argued to himself: "Miss! This servant saw it just now! It's true!"

Xie Tinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and tapped the copper stove with his fingertips regularly.

There was a delicate sound in the throat: "Huh~"

The figures of the master and servant are getting further and further away.

The man sitting on the tree withdrew his gaze, narrowed his eyes and fell silent for a moment, then a smile escaped his lips.

He glanced down at his clothes.

In the twelfth lunar month, he was wearing a thin white gown and brocade trousers, and stepped on a pair of wooden clogs with bare feet.

Compared to that Xie Tinglan who wrapped herself tightly, it's no wonder that she would say that she is a fool who is not afraid of the cold.

Xie Tinglan met Qi Chengjun in the back hall.

She changed out of her riding outfit and wore a blue brocade robe. She was forced to give up only her ponytail and combed her hair in a simple bun, looking very refreshing.

She came up and said, "I've heard people say that Zhao Wenjin is bothering you again, isn't she? She's so boring."

Qi Chengjun didn't quite understand Zhao Wenjin's thoughts.

When did she trouble Xie Tinglan and take advantage of it?

Which time was it not that she herself was humiliated and ran away in desperation.

Qi Chengjun sighed.

Xie Tinglan took it very seriously, "Unless she is superior to me one day, or my county title is revoked, as long as she finds an opportunity, she will still come, just get used to it." She has practiced her lips.

Qi Chengjun looked around, pulled Xie Tinglan to a corner, and said softly, "I heard something when I entered the palace last time."

"What's the matter?" Xie Tinglan asked cooperatively.

"Uncle and imperial concubine are discussing the matter of choosing a concubine for the crown prince's cousin. How many noble ladies do you think are on the list?"

Xie Tinglan pursed her lips.

Faced with Qi Chengjun's eyes full of eyes, I knew what the insider told me to say, so I swallowed the answer helplessly, and continued to cooperate and pretend to be stupid: "I don't know."

Qi Chengjun really has a sense of accomplishment, there are few things that even Xie Xingxing can't guess.

She really has a lot of progress, and she can show it off to her mother and concubine in the future.

She talked about several aristocratic daughters in Beijing, including Mrs. Wu'anhou's daughter, and she talked a lot before getting to the point.

"Xing Xing, you, and Zhao Wenjin are also on the list!"

Xie Tinglan opened his mouth pretending to be surprised, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

Qi Chengjun continued: "However, Zhao Wenjin was added by order of the emperor's grandmother, and the stars were added by your uncle and imperial concubine's will. You have a better chance of winning than her!"

Yuxiu took back the hand stove that had been refilled with charcoal, and handed it to Xie Tinglan.

Xie Tinglan reached out to take it, stroked the pattern on the outer embroidered cover, and asked Qi Chengjun, "Alternate options, who will choose then?"

Qi Chengjun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course the prince's cousin chose it himself."

"It's neither the empress dowager's choice, nor the emperor's queen and imperial concubine's choice, so what's the chance of winning?"

In fact, in the previous life, she and Zhao Wenjin were the same, they both failed the election.

Because of Fu Pingye, that guy didn't choose any of them.

I don't know how he persuaded the emperor and the imperial concubine. In the end, the emperor also postponed the matter.

No one thought that this delay would cause the prince to remain alone until he was deposed.

Xie Tinglan's fingertips that were pulling the embroidery thread suddenly paused.

Not necessarily, Fu Pingye was the emperor in the previous life, so he should not be alone.

Qi Chengjun didn't notice Xie Tinglan's ecstasy, and when he heard her words, he immediately retorted: "How can it be the same! Zhao Wenjin can't compare to the stars, as long as the cousin of the crown prince doesn't close his eyes when he chooses, he will choose the stars!"

Yuxiu was listening on the sidelines, a little terrified, she looked around nervously, not letting anyone approach her.

If this is heard by others, I don't know how to arrange her young lady.

The candidate for the crown princess has not yet been decided, and no one dares to say that his family will definitely be selected. Princess Yongjia really thinks highly of her lady!
Prince Fu Pingye entered the court at the age of 15 to participate in politics, and went to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with the army. It took only three years to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty from garrison to commander.

After returning to Beijing, he was assigned by the emperor to the Ministry of Officials to be on duty, and now he has been in the court for five years.

At the beginning, his ability was also very good, but he didn't know if he was full or he was short. In the past two years, his performance has become mediocre, but fortunately, it is not a big mistake.

In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince is peerless and handsome, and the girls in the entire capital who want to enter the Prince's Mansion are like crucian carp crossing the river.

As for the seat of the crown princess, even noble ladies with a certain background would stare at her steadfastly.

Yuxiu looked at her girl's small body, thinking that if she walked a few more steps on weekdays, she would lose her strength for a while.

What can she use to compete with those wolves and tigers?
Even if he wins, the seat of the crown prince is very secure, and it is likely that he will be the new emperor in the future. When the time comes, the newcomers will come in, how can the young lady hold back!

"By the way, mother also invited the crown prince's cousin this time. I wonder if he has come." Qi Chengjun suddenly thought.

"The prince's cousin didn't handle the land enclosure case well before, so he was reprimanded by his uncle. In fact, it's not a big deal. I was afraid that my uncle would leave this matter to my fourth cousin, and my cousin would be unhappy, so I wanted to ask He came to relax, I don't know if he gave me this face."
