With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Although today is in the name of a flower viewing feast, everyone who can attend must have some connections, and of course they know the true purpose of the banquet.

At this moment, the queen took the opportunity of talking with Cui Shi to bring up the topic, and those who were interested in the venue naturally immediately seized the opportunity.

One of the unfamiliar ladies picked up the conversation with a smile.

"Your Majesty is kind and caring, His Royal Highness Chen Wang is a dragon and phoenix among men, with extraordinary appearance, so outstanding, why should you worry about your Majesty?"

As her voice sounded, everyone's eyes moved over.

Su Junning was also silently observing, and saw the young girl sitting beside the madam, looking at the appearance of Gangji, she was elegant and dignified, with picturesque features, and a good charm, she was carefully cultivated at first glance.

The queen came here to choose a daughter-in-law, so she naturally looked at her a little bit.

Immediately, he opened his mouth like a gossip.

"If I remember correctly, Ms. Zhang has just reached the age of Ji this year, right? With such a demeanor and appearance, the suitors must have stepped through the threshold. Madam doesn't need to be as worried as I am."

"Your Majesty is really joking." The wife of the Zhang family hurriedly waved her hands, "I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes with all the ladies and ladies. Her father looks at her like an eyeball. If any matchmaker dares to come to the door, her father will scare her away. gone."

A joke made everyone in the pavilion laugh, but also told the Queen in a disguised form that her daughter has not yet discussed marriage.

Sure enough, after laughing, the queen beckoned the girl to come forward.

"Look at these hands. They are slender and slender. They are white and flawless. You can see that they are carefully raised at home. It reminds me of the time when I was in my boudoir, watching the falling flowers and playing the piano. It's very comfortable. I remember, your boudoir's name is Hui Rong ?”

Being held by hand, Zhang Huirong looked slightly ashamed, but her demeanor was still generous and calm.

"Your Majesty remembers well, the maiden's boudoir name is Huirong."

"The person is as the name suggests, very good."

The queen smiled, took a hairpin off her head and gave it to her as a reward.

Su Junning took a sip of tea, silently recited the girl's name in her heart, and then brought out Zhang Huirong's family background from her memory.

His father is Chenwang Yidang, and Zhang Lizheng, the new secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

Xu Fu, former Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, was originally a pure minister. Later, his daughter Xu Ruofu was accused of being the concubine of the Seventh Prince, so she joined the Seventh Prince's camp.

Prince Chen didn't like him, so he was pulled down when taking care of the seventh prince, and promoted his own people to make up for him.

The upstart of the imperial court and a subject of the Prince Chen, the daughter of the Zhang family is indeed qualified to be the Princess of the Prince Chen.

But obviously the queen will not only look at the girls of this family.

After appreciating Zhang Huirong, he chatted a few words, and his eyes fell to the other side.

This time Su Junning knew her. It was Uncle Pingyang's younger sister, Yang Siqiao.

The ancestors of the Yang family were also honored. There was a queen and two noble concubines. Later, the descendants were not good enough. The title was passed down to Uncle Pingyang's grandfather and it was gone. Now the title of earl is earned by the current Uncle Pingyang himself.

Not long after, he also made contributions in the battle of Yanhu, and got it by clinging to King Chen.

The girl from Jiangmen, Yang Siqiao's appearance is more heroic, beautiful but not coquettish, sassy and capable, with a pair of almond eyes that are charming.

In such a comparison, the two girls have completely different charms.

If you want to describe it, the girl from the Zhang family is Furong, and the girl from the Yang family is Jianlan.

Each has its own merits.

But considering the family background, the Zhang family's official position is naturally higher, but the Yang family's Pingyang Earl's Mansion is now an upstart holding military power, so it is worth wooing for Prince Yu.

After all, Prince Chen will not ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and his concubine does not need to have a prominent status, as long as it is enough.

After several rounds of pleasantries, Su Junning was basically sure.

The rest of the people are just foils, or they just want to win over. The candidate for Princess Chen should be born between these two girls.

This foil also includes Su Junning.

Now that she is a famous woman, the queen will naturally not waste a little more time on her, but she has talked a lot with Cui Shi.

I guess it was because of my father.

After all, Su Yi's official position is there. He was the censor of Zuodu who supervised all the officials, and now he is more and more trusted by Emperor Jianning. It is definitely worthwhile to win over the Su family.

Cui Shi had been mentally prepared for a long time, and she was able to deal with it freely.

The queen circled around a group of female relatives for more than half an hour, and finally let them go when she was tired.

After leaving the gazebo, Cui Shi went to change clothes, while Su Junning wandered around admiring the flowers, while waiting for her to come back, she did not expect to meet someone in this gap.

Mrs. Xie, Duke of Ruiguo.

"Miss Su Si, please stay safe."

Following the prestige, Su Junning frowned unobtrusively after seeing the person who came, and then returned the greeting lightly.

"Madam Xu."

Xie's eyes swept over her, a little complicated.

"I heard that you and General Xiao Shen will be married in March next year?"

"Exactly." Although Su Junning was a little surprised how she said this, she still answered politely.

When she nodded in response, she suddenly saw a slight regret flashing across Xie's eyes, and she returned to calm in an instant.

"Good thing, after all, you are more blessed."

After saying this, Xie turned around and left.

Su Junning pursed her lips, thinking about what Xie meant.

At the beginning, Xu Sini was so happy with Shen Qianwei, but it's a pity that Mrs. Xie refused to allow it and obstructed it in every possible way, presumably because she disliked the low status of Shen's family.

But now that Shen Qianwei has repeatedly made military exploits and is on the rise, but Xu Sini ended up like this because of marrying the Seventh Prince.

Although he saved his life, he was almost imprisoned in a small courtyard and would never get out.

As a mother, Mrs. Xie should regret it.

If I had thought of a way to fulfill my daughter's wish.Maybe Xu Sini would not come to this step.

Thinking of this, another thought suddenly flashed in Su Junning's mind.

The Seventh Prince is the pawn of the Prince Chen, and the Prince Chen also urged Xu Sini to marry the Seventh Prince, which means that Xu Sini's situation today should have been expected by the Prince Chen long ago, isn't that true?
From the very beginning, Xu Sini was used as a pawn to push into the fire pit.

Then, will Mrs. Xie have hatred for Prince Chen?
Su Junning narrowed her eyes, recalled the situation in the gazebo just now, and found that Mrs. Xie seldom talked to the queen, and the occasional few words were all initiated by the queen.

In the past at the banquet in the palace, Mrs. Xie would not have spared no effort to support the empress, but now she has calmed down, probably because of Xu Sini's matter, a estrangement has arisen in her heart.

Tigers don't eat their children, how can they not feel sorry for their own daughter, who has been carefully raised for many years.

"Ning'er." Cui Shi's voice came, "What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied."

Su Junning raised her head, raised her smiling face and took Cui's arm.

"It's nothing, just said a few words with Mrs. Rui Guo, and remembered some old things."

As soon as she heard that it was about the Xu family, Cui frowned and lowered her voice.

"If you don't mention the past, you won't have anything to do with them in the future. Foreign relatives have always been the most feared by the emperor."

Su Junning nodded, and the mother and daughter slowly wandered away.
