After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 39 Spring Banquet ([-])

The next day.

After much deliberation, Zhu Langshuo decided to tidy up and visit Shen's residence.

The old lady of Shen's mansion led Zhu Langshuo towards the front yard. Shen Mengxi's personal servant girl saw it and ran away happily, rushing into Jinxi Pavilion, and said to Shen Mengxi who was under the blanket, "Miss ,Miss!"

"Get up and wash up quickly, Lord Zhu Xiaohou is here to see you."

"I must have felt that what I said to you yesterday was inappropriate, so I came to the door to apologize."

Shen Mengxi straightened up like a carp, lifted the quilt, stared at the swollen dark circles under her eyes, "Brother Zhu is here?"

She covered her face, "But with my appearance, how can I see him?"

Get out of bed in a hurry, "Hurry up, dress me up, take out my favorite apricot-pink Liuxian dress embroidered with peach blossoms in full bloom, and the high-quality rouge from Xiaoxiang Pavilion that I have always treasured."

The inside and outside of Jinxi Pavilion became busy following the arrival of this news.

Shen Mengxi looked left and right in front of the bronze mirror, looked up and down, and was very satisfied. Brother Zhu will definitely be pleasing to the eye when he sees him later.

"Miss is really beautiful, with a stunning beauty, more than ten thousand times prettier than that Shen Shengge!" The close maid smiled flatteringly.

Shen Mengxi smiled like a flower, obviously she recognized this sentence very much, and entrusted the purple jade hairpin on Wei Fu's head, "Let's go, let's go to the front yard now, otherwise, Brother Zhu will be in a hurry."

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Jinxi Pavilion, the second wife Zhou came over with a dark face, followed by Taoyao who went out to inquire about the news.

"Mother, what's the matter?" The smile on his face hadn't faded yet, seeing Zhou's expression, he restrained his expression and asked.

Mrs. Zhou walked into the room, screened back to the left and right, and said to Shen Mengxi with a cold face: "Master Zhu came to Shen's residence this time to ask to see Shen Shengge, and he didn't mention you at all."

"He came to look for Shen Shengge?" Shen Mengxi smiled after being slightly stunned, "He should have come to look for Shen Shengge to divorce the engagement."

"That day in Shen's mansion, the two had a quarrel, and Shen Shengge asked Zhu Xiaohou to divorce the engagement." In fact, Shen Mengxi didn't see clearly that day, Zhu Xiaohou didn't care about Shen Shengge at all before, but now he seems to start to care about Shen Shengge.

Shen Mengxi was unwilling to admit this fact, and kept deceiving herself and others.

"Retire?" Zhou curled her lips, "He came to Shen Shengge to apologize, and he also brought Shen Shengge's favorite Huichun Pavilion osmanthus cake."

"But Shen Shengge didn't even want to see him face to face. He still put down his words. If Shen Shengge never forgives him, he will come every day until Shen Shengge forgives him. So, judging by the meaning of the young master, he is determined not to will divorce."

Mrs. Zhou looked Shen Mengxi up and down, "You said earlier that Lord Zhu Xiaohou threatened to marry you, but is it true?"

"Yes, Brother Zhu told me personally that he wanted to marry me."

"But he knew that you had been wronged, and he came to Shen's residence, but he never came to see you by the way, is he sincere to you?"

"I don't want to divorce Shen Shengge here, could it be that I want to marry you as my concubine?"

"Mother, if there is no Shen Shengge, Brother Zhu will definitely like me." Shen Mengxi vowed, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that I am more beautiful than Shen Shengge, more talented and temperamental than her, and I am more suitable to be the future wife of the Houfu."

"But with Shen Shengge in the way, Young Master Zhu is absolutely determined not to make you his wife." Zhou's eyes darkened, thinking.

On the tenth day of March, a spring feast.

Butterflies and bees flock to each other, and the scent of flowers is as strong as drunk.The four layers are covered with shade, and the saliva turns green into clouds.Under the mat and drinking flowers, the flying flowers fall into the fragrant bottles.With wine and flowers and food, you can get drunk and chant your soul.

The unmarried daughters of famous families and disciples of aristocratic families in the imperial capital all gathered in the Spring Garden today, reciting poems and painting, playing music and playing chess, and singing spring with wine.It's called the Spring Banquet, but it's actually a large-scale blind date banquet.

Every year at the spring banquet, there will be three or two couples, and good stories will be spread.There are also nervous mothers who are worried that their children will be simple-minded and mistaken for life at first sight, so they also follow to check.

Su Wunian got off her crabapple carriage slowly.

Mrs. Shen and Zhang Zhilan had already arrived in front, and they were standing under a tangled old apricot tree outside the Spring Garden. Pieces of apricot-pink petals fell with the wind, and occasionally fell on the shoulders of the Chinese clothes.

Another elegant but not luxurious carriage approached, Shen Mengli and Shen Mengzhi got off the carriage, holding hands, very intimate.

Shen Mengli is tall and slender, with lively fox eyes. She is wearing a light pink pleated fairy dress that flutters like a fairy. Her double butterfly hair bun is tied with two pink embroidered gold ribbons. She is very cute and cute.The pink peach blossoms between the eyebrows glowed brightly under the warm light, very eye-catching, as if they had been carefully dressed.

And Shen Mengzhi next to her was wearing a light wormwood-colored gauze skirt, as thin as a cicada's wings. Because Qingyuan folk customs were open and not too demanding on women's clothing, her skirt revealed her white and skinny collarbone, elongating her jawline , making her round figure look thinner.

Although she also dressed up quite deliberately, but standing beside Shen Mengli, it was like green leaves setting off red flowers, unremarkable.

Shen Mengxi and Zhou Shi, who came behind, also dressed up, everyone wanted to shine at today's spring banquet.

Only Su Wunian wore a long dress with embroidered begonia flowers that Zhujian newly made for her. The fabric and texture of Suhe Yunjin were excellent, making Su Wunian comfortable to wear, so she wore it.

However, the pattern of candle cutting is unique, just embroidering it casually, the crabapple flowers glowed golden under the warm sun.The light and shadow overlapped, and at a glance, one thought it was crabapple flowers blooming on her clothes. It was very interesting and attracted many people's attention.

"Cousin!" A teenage girl wearing a goose-yellow long dress embroidered with lily patterns on the skirt ran towards Su Wunian, with a pair of alert and wise eyes on her oval face.

"Why do the patterns on your clothes still move in the sun?" She ran over from under the willow tree in the distance and asked.

"Tell my cousin, where did you buy such an interesting dress? I also want to choose two."

The one who spoke was Wang Yanyi's younger sister, the daughter of the grandparent's Wang family.

"Ayan, why are you running so fast? My cousin is here to attend the spring banquet today, and she won't run away." Wang Yanyi, who ran after her, was elegantly dressed in a vanilla-colored brocade dress.

Only then did the two salute Mrs. Shen and the others, and then Wang Miaoyan kept pestering Su Wunian, telling her where she bought the clothes on her body.

He told her that Zhujian embroidered by himself, and she kept pestering Zhujian to teach her.

"Cousin, if the maid next to you refuses to teach her, she'll probably hang around you forever." Wang Yanyi teased, "But it's okay, we used to be too estranged, we should have gotten closer."

Shen Shengge listened to Zhang Zhilan's instigation, and kept avoiding people from the Wang Zu's family.

A group of people walked into Chunlin Garden with great momentum, while Zhang Zhilan supported Mrs. Shen talking and laughing, while listening carefully to what the Wang family brothers and sisters said to Su Wunian behind them.

Shen Mengxi who was following behind was supported by Taoyao, her mouth turned into a scythe, wasn't she just wearing a sensational dress?Look how proud she is!
