Fair Lady

Shuyao smiled gracefully and said: "Today is the plum blossom banquet in the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and the princess is also a guest, so you don't need to be too polite." It's not that she likes such complicated self-proclaiming, but that Mother Liu said that identity is identity, It represents the dignity of the royal family.

In private, close relatives and friends are fine. If she calls herself "I" too kindly in public, it will attract criticism that she despises the status bestowed by the royal family.

No matter how many people present were dissatisfied with Shuyao's background, they all had to face up to the nobility exuded by Shuyao's gestures and gestures. It can't be packaged with clothes, it's a kind of inner self-cultivation.

The noble ladies couldn't figure it out, how could a person who was born in the market have such a magnanimity in just a few years?You must know that even if the prostitutes of a big family have been influenced by their ears and eyes and carefully raised since childhood, only a few of them can cultivate the nobility from the inside out.What's more, Princess Qi in front of me is only less than 14 years old.

Concubine Zhao was completely shocked, she really didn't imagine how terrible Shuyao was, after all, she was raised by the nuns of the palace for so many years.However, Xia Shuyao, who was standing there Yingying, looked like a natural royal princess, not even worse than a princess.

The noble and lazy look in Xia Shuyao's eyes is a bit like the former concubine who died for many years, but with a hint of sharpness and shrewdness.Concubine Zhao's heart became more and more irritable...

Qi Yuexin's eyes turned red with jealousy, no, it shouldn't be like this!

Mrs. An Guogong's wife brought Sima Yan to greet her: "Princess Qi, please come here, it's hard for you to enter the palace today to thank you for such an important day. I'm still thinking about our plum blossom feast. Princess first drink some ice sugar and pear tea to moisturize Throat, the banquet will begin soon."

Mrs. Shizi's words are indeed from the heart.

No one in the capital knows that the An Guogong's mansion and the Xia family's detour is entangled. Although the three Xia family brothers and sisters will not retaliate to the An Guogong's mansion, it is entirely possible that they don't want to contact each other.Although the Lianghou Mansion is a new mansion, it is not comparable to the Anguo Mansion in terms of the emperor's favor, status in the court, or relationship.

For this plum blossom feast, Sima Yan wanted to post a post to Shuyao (Nan Gongmiao was pregnant, so she would definitely not come), they had no idea, but it would not look good to bypass Shuyao and not invite her.Feeling a little guilty.

Moreover, the second prince and Ning Shizi are cousins, so Sima Yan and Xia Shuyao will be regarded as serious relatives in the future, right?Being friends with Xia Shuyao is only good for Sima Yan and for An Guo Gongfu.

Xia Shuyao was named Princess Qi yesterday, and they almost believed that she would not come over today, because there was a perfect reason to "enter the palace to thank her".

So just now when the palace nanny asked them to postpone the banquet and wait for Princess Qi, An Guogong specially sent someone to ask Mrs. Shizi.Prepare more snacks for the guests, if not enough, go to Qiaoweiju to buy some.No matter when Princess Qi arrives, she must not be neglected.

Unexpectedly, Shuyao was not late for long, and there was no need to postpone the banquet.Obviously, Shuyao is respecting the government of An Guo.Came here in a hurry.

Comparing your heart with your heart, Mrs. Shizi admits to herself.If it was her, she would take some Joe, about two quarters of an hour at night.

Mrs. Shizi thought of these things, and Sima Yan would have thought of them on weekdays, but at the moment, she was obsessed with jealousy, how could she want to think about "Princess Qi is very good for Duke An's family"?

Shuyao also brought presents to Anguo Gongfu and Sima Yan respectively.The annual gift to An Guogong's mansion is the most common annual gift given by the Lianghou's mansion.Four-color dim sum.Because the Mansion of the Two Marquises has never been in contact with the mansion of Duke Anguo, and they have not sent it before.

For Sima Yan.It is a lifelike glazed peony paperweight.It is a rare item, but it is not very valuable, and it can be regarded as what it likes (as we all know, Princess Yan loves peonies most, and is good at calligraphy and painting), and it also fits the identities of the two, but they don't seem to be very close.

Even though Qi Yuexin didn't have many glazed ornaments, she could tell that this paper weight must be worth much more than the peacock walker on her head.Now she really believed it, for Shuyao, colored glaze is not a rare thing at all.That's right, the lotus flower carved by the night pearl on Shuyao's forehead is already more valuable than all her jewelry combined.

Sima Yan took the peony paperweight with her own hands: "Ah, it's so beautiful. I've always wanted to change it to a delicate paperweight. Sister Yaoer, thank you."

Shuyao smiled and said, "As long as Princess Yan likes it." She took a sip of rock sugar pear tea brought by the maid gracefully.

Sima Yan smiled and asked people to put away the brocade box containing the paperweights, but she was angry in her heart, Xia Shuyao was so hateful, she still acted so alienated when she called her sister affectionately.Although she used to be called "Princess Yan", the problem is that she is also a princess now, a titled princess with a higher status than herself.

Naturally, Shuyao would not pay attention to Sima Yan's entanglement. She didn't like Sima Yan, and she didn't have any dislike or hatred for Sima Yan. Based on the future relationship, she just had a light relationship.

After the host and guest exchanged greetings, the wives and young ladies who usually deal with the Lianghou Mansion or Yao Xuelan immediately gathered around to congratulate Shuyao, and also concerned about whether she was injured or frightened.Shuyao has a good memory, and most of them can match the names and identities of the masters, which is very useful for everyone.

It is also impossible for Shuyao to elaborate on the details of the assassin's assassination of the emperor, but she just said in a general way: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry. The emperor is a sage, with the protection of the emperor, and Princess Yuegui is also a blessed person. The emperor is surrounded by How can the elite guards of the Great Zhou be murdered by those young people?"

"Princess Yuegui?" Someone had sharp ears and immediately noticed the difference.

"That's right," Shuyao said with a smile, but I can say a little more about it, "Master Yue has sharp eyes, quick response, and calmness in times of crisis. She admires and protects the emperor. The emperor praised him for having Prince Yong. Zhifeng, just this morning he was named Princess Yuegui."

Everyone was in awe again, Princess Yue was more favored than most princesses, and now she even added the word "expensive", it is really expensive!

The status of Prince Yong's Mansion is... more and more difficult to shake.The status is already noble, but both father and son are important generals in the front line. Now even the quasi-prince concubine and Princess Yue (now Princess Yuegui) have made outstanding achievements and are deeply favored by the emperor.

However, everyone involuntarily looked at Concubine Zhao's mother and daughter, curled their lips, the difference between the concubine and concubines in Prince Yong's mansion is huge, not to mention the rules, but the difference in aptitude and ability is big enough.Look, that concubine became the "Princess Yuegui" at a very young age, and this concubine... pretends to be noble all day long, saying "our Prince Yong's mansion, my father, my second brother" Demonstrate your noble origin.It's a pity that no matter how noble the palace is, she is only a concubine.

A few years ago, when Concubine Zhao made marriage arrangements for Qi Yuexin, she really offended many people without knowing it.They take it for granted that they are picky and picky, but people don't buy their account.Why would an unfavored concubine in Prince Yong's Mansion pick and choose her brothers (nephews)?

Hmph, didn't you use tricks to seize your husband in the end?What's ridiculous is that Zhao's side concubine and her daughter thought they had arranged a perfect game, a touching story.They didn't know that someone with a heart had already exposed it, but they didn't poke them face to face because of the face of Prince Yong's residence.

Concubine Zhao wanted to wait for Shuyao to greet her first, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response, but she heard that Qi Yueling had become the princess of Yuegui, becoming more and more noble, making Qi Yuexin, the eldest sister, a scumbag, and her heart ached Unbearable.

At this moment, someone with good intentions spoke up: "Ah, Concubine Zhao and Missy of Prince Yong's Mansion happened to be here today, and this is the first time you have seen Princess Qi, right? By the way, why didn't you hear me just now?" You are talking about the conferment of Princess Yuegui? It is impossible to secretly enjoy such a great event."

Many people laughed along, who didn't know that Princess Yuegui lived in the Palace of Compassion and Ning all year round, and didn't like the concubine and concubine sister.

Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do.That lady once asked for her younger brother to marry Concubine Zhao's younger sister. At that time, many people thought that Concubine Zhao was about to be brought upright, so naturally they also hoped to marry by marriage, so that they could cling to Prince Yong's mansion around the corner.

At that time, Concubine Zhao's victory was in sight, and she wanted to help her natal family get married with a powerful family. She didn't look down on the lady's natal family at all, and even played a role in satirizing her younger brother "Short Winter Melon". Unexpectedly, she was heard by her eight-year-old nephew. When the matchmaker came to the door, he said it directly, and since then the two families have secretly enmity.

Concubine Zhao used her sharp nails to stimulate her palms to keep herself calm. She turned a deaf ear to the words of the provocative lady, and looked at Shuyao lovingly: "This is indeed the first time this concubine has met Princess Qi, but listening to Ning I've said it many times, and Ning'er has always praised Princess Qi for being beautiful, generous, calm and sensible. Princess Qi, this is Ning'er's big sister, Xin'er, and Ning'er has loved Xin'er the most since she was a child."

Qi Yuexin also smiled proudly: "Xin'er has met Princess Qi, Princess Qi, my second brother went to the south as soon as he got married, you must not know, my second brother grew up with my mother and concubine, and my mother and concubine The dearest one is always called Mother Concubine and Aunt Qian."

Shuyao smiled lightly, these two people wanted to use her to attack, and they thought she was easy to fool, right?She is now Qi Haoning's fiancée, and they will be one in the future. Concubine Zhao bought Qi Haoning to kill, she is Xia Shuyao's enemy, and she still wants to fool Qi Haoning and use her again after she fails?

Hmph, she's not in the mood to deal with them, so let's just let it go indifferently, and we'll talk about it later when we enter the door.But now that she wants to take advantage of her, Shuyao will not be soft-hearted, so as not to be entangled by them.

"Oh? Really?" Shuyao still had a smile on her face, "I haven't heard of these princesses. When Ning Shizi came to the mansion to say goodbye the day before he went south, he said something about the last princess's suicide note, but At that time, the adoptive father asked him to talk about the matter, and he only told me the beginning, saying that he would tell me the details in the next letter. The princess is very curious, and I wanted to go to the palace the day before yesterday to ask the concubine Zhao during the birthday banquet, but happened to follow I have been hunting, and I was able to see you two today." Speaking of which, he deliberately paused, took a sip of tea, and quietly paid attention to the two of them from the end of his eyes. (To be continued.
