Chapter 1163 Meeting Guests and Chatting
On the first day of the first day of the new year, Lin Yuanwo spent a whole day in the mansion, not joking with Xiao Linshuang and the others, or watching Liu Limin foolishly laughing, but had a good time.

Speaking of which, Lin Yuan is a newly conferred princess, and the Liu family has an imperial order, so they will not be idle during the Chinese New Year.

But because of Heliannuo's request to marry Princess Cuiwei, and Cheng Yuexiu suddenly became Princess Hexiu, many people in the capital didn't realize it for a while. The Cheng family gave a gift.

This made Lin Yuan and his family idle for a whole day, and it wasn't until after dinner that Xia Zheng came to the door with a blushing face.

Smelling the faint aroma of wine on his body, one could tell without asking where this guy must have just returned from a banquet.

It was rare to see Xia Zheng drink alcohol before, even if he drank, he was never as slightly tired as today, it can be seen that he drank a lot today.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked Haitang to go to the small kitchen to make hangover soup. Lin Yuan sat beside him and frowned at him, her heart fluttered slightly.

As if feeling Li Linyuan's unusual gaze, Xia Zheng smiled, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Madam is angry? Madam, please don't be angry. It's not because of greed, but because of mood smooth."

In a good mood?

Lin Yuan curled her lips subconsciously. Men always like to find various reasons when they want to drink. If you are in a bad mood today, you will drink, and if you are in a good mood, you will drink tomorrow. In short, wine is a good thing that cannot be left.

Haitang moved very quickly, and had already brought up the hangover soup. Lin Yuan held it in her hand to cool him down, and then said casually: "My wife is a husband, you talk nonsense after drinking a few more glasses! Why are you in a good mood? Don't you What good shop did you get this year?"

For Xia Zheng, who loves money like his life, the only thing Lin Yuan can think of to make him feel better is to make money.

"Why are you just talking nonsense? Anyway, we will get married in a few months, so it's okay to get used to it in advance!"

When Xia Zheng said this, his voice did not avoid Liu Shi who was present, and Liu Shi was angry and funny when he heard it, but it made Lin Yuan slightly blame him for drinking too much before.

"Okay, let's get down to business now!"

Lin Yuan glared at him, pushed the hangover soup that was already at the right temperature into his hand, and motioned him to drink it quickly.

Based on Lin Yuan's understanding of Xia Zheng, she also knew that he was not the kind of person who would get drunk on a whim, but after listening to what he said, she also guessed that there must be something important.

Sure enough, Xia Zheng finished drinking the hangover soup, put the bowl aside and squeezed his eyes and said, "Do you know that something big happened in the palace today?"

"What's the big deal?"

Lin Yuan blinked, her first reaction was that the emperor agreed that Princess Cuiwei would marry Xiliang.

But after thinking about it, it was wrong. Although Xia Zheng didn't have a good relationship with Empress Su and Su Zhe, he still had a good relationship with his cousin Cuiwei. If she married Xiliang far away, he wouldn't say that he was in a good mood.

Do you disagree?But this matter was brought up in front of so many people, and Cuiwei personally agreed, if the emperor didn't agree, he wouldn't have made a decision so early.

Seeing Lin Yuan frowning and guessing, Xia Zheng was not in a hurry, he just squinted his eyes and smiled at her, which made Lin Yuan feel very unhappy and even more anxious, frowning to urge him to speak quickly.

Xia Zheng chuckled, and then said: "Madam, why should you be in a hurry? If you say it at this time, Madam will be happy too. But do you still remember that during the palace banquet, Concubine Liu was sent back to the palace in advance?"

Of course she remembered, not only did she remember, she also remembered Concubine Liu's instigation and slander at the palace banquet!
Could it be her?
"Early this morning, His Majesty took his clan relatives to worship the ancestors. It stands to reason that all the concubines in the palace should be present. However, Concubine Liu was ordered by His Majesty to think about her past in her own palace, and she was not allowed to go out unless ordered. Tsk tsk, What does this mean, you should understand, right?"

Looking at Xia Zheng's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Lin Yuan's heart lingered for a while.

Ancestor worship during the New Year is not a trivial matter, as long as the status of the royal family is in place, basically everyone has to participate, even the newborn little prince and princess have to be held by the wet nurse to worship the ancestors.

However, Concubine Liu, who is a concubine, was not able to participate, which shows how much the old emperor hated her.

The emperor's dislike is one thing, but the embarrassment of Concubine Liu is the most important thing.Thinking about things in one's own palace, it is even more embarrassing than demotion to go out.

One must know that such a punishment would not be easily applied to noble concubines, at most it would be applied to people below the concubine who had just entered the palace or had just been favored.

Lin Yuan could even imagine Concubine Liu's annoyed and distraught appearance at this moment, she must be more than ten years old!

Looking at Xia Zheng's excited eyes again, Lin Yuan felt that there was something else to do, and said with a smile, "It's not just Concubine Liu's matter, is it? What else should we talk about together?"

Xia Zheng raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. Concubine Liu didn't show up at the ancestor worship today, and the second prince Zhao Hongsheng, who is Concubine Liu's own son, naturally had a dull face. It's just that The guy didn't know if he was fooled by anger, and actually begged His Majesty in front of many people. Oh, idiot!"

Xia Zheng paused, as if recalling what happened in the morning, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

Isn't that an idiot?Didn't he know what shameful things his mother and concubine did?Isn't it reasonable to be grounded by the old emperor and even deprived of the qualification to worship ancestors?

But this Zhao Hongsheng insisted on pleading in front of the old emperor in front of so many people. If it was just pleading, it would be fine, but his speech gave people the illusion that the old emperor did not miss the old love.

Maybe Zhao Hongsheng didn't mean it that way, but to outsiders, to the old emperor, it's another matter.

The old emperor was furious on the spot and reprimanded Zhao Hongsheng.If it weren't for the persuasion of the officials who followed the second prince, I'm afraid that this idiot would be driven back to his mansion by the old emperor on the spot to think about it.

After listening to Xia Zheng's words, Lin Yuan curled her lips and said with a sneer, "Zhao Hongsheng seems to be a very smart person, how could he do such a foolish thing? Even if he really asks for love, it can't be at this time!"

The mother and concubine were grounded. As a parent and child, it would be chilling to ignore it.But Zhao Hongsheng really picked the wrong time.

Xia Zheng sneered, and laughed: "How can he be confused? He's just in a hurry. The Yao family put too much pressure on him, and Concubine Liu restrained her feet. Can he not be in a hurry? As for pleading in front of everyone, heh, I'm afraid I thought His Majesty would take care of face. It's just that I didn't expect that I would still miss it after all."

Is it really just that?
Lin Yuan was a little uncertain, Xia Zheng also saw the doubt on her face, glanced at Liu Shi who was talking to Haitang, and said with a low laugh: "I heard that there are a group of counselors in the Big Bad Wolf Mansion, he He always has advisors by his side, and even Miss Tang seems to give him advice."

Hearing this, why didn't Lin Yuan understand?
Concubine Liu's confinement by the emperor happened before offering sacrifices to the ancestors. At that time, Zhao Hongsheng was probably already on his way into the palace, and he certainly could not have known about it in advance.

If he can't know in advance, he can't make up with the counselors, and if he can't make up, he can only deal with it on the spot.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would make the worst decision when he was in a hurry.

However, this allowed everyone to see that Zhao Hongsheng was indeed a man eager for quick success. If he had been patient for a while, perhaps he would not continue to be ashamed in front of all officials.

Xia Zheng obviously hadn't finished speaking, and he raised his hand to grab Lin Yuan's hand.

Mrs. Liu is in the room, how could Lin Yuan let him do such an intimate thing in front of her mother?

Before Xia Zheng's hand reached out, he immediately retracted his hand into his sleeve, and did not forget to give him an angry look.

Xia Zheng didn't feel annoyed, instead he laughed in a bad manner.

The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, only then did she realize that she had been fooled just now, why did this guy come to hold her hand?It was just to tease her on purpose!
"hateful!"

Secretly crushing Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan gouged him hard with her eyeballs before giving up.

Xia Zheng was happy with it, and continued to smile: "I heard that after returning to the mansion, he entered the palace again in the afternoon. It is said that he went to plead guilty with His Majesty, and even changed his mind about Concubine Liu. He said that Concubine Liu was ignorant. Prince Liang was ashamed in front of her, so she deserves to be grounded and punished. Tsk tsk, this kind of remarks are made by the second prince who has been arrogant all day long and wants to stick his wolf's tail into the sky?"

Lin Yuan didn't believe it either, but it proved once again that Zhao Hongsheng did have counselors by his side, and they were very smart.

So what if there are only counselors?The master is a dou who cannot be supported, no matter how capable the counselor is, it will be in vain.

But now Concubine Liu was rejected by the emperor after all, and she was not demoted for the sake of the grown-up second prince Zhao Hongsheng.

The corners of Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled mockingly. Concubine Liu is a typical representative of self-inflicted evil.

What is the occasion of the palace banquet?How dare you open your mouth and frame others indiscriminately!Not only her, but also Yan Ruchun, even her own niece and daughter were not spared.

Although Lin Yuan and Yan Ruchun had a pretty good relationship, they still heard about their family affairs from Xu Muqing.

It is said that what Yan Xiangkai loves the most is not his only daughter, but his younger sister who entered the palace alone at a young age.Not only did he send money into the palace twice every three days to help his younger sister manage things, but he also donated all the money he got from Zuixianju and Zuixianlou to Concubine Liu and Zhao Hongsheng.

But what is the result of this?Concubine Liu actually wanted to send her niece and daughter to Xiliang to be married behind her own brother's back!

Brother is just such a daughter, she can bear to let them be separated like this?
Sighing, what Lin Yuan wants to know most now is Yan Xiangkai's attitude.

Now that Concubine Liu offended Longyan and was grounded, if Yan Xiangkai still cared about her, he would definitely run around.

If he really did this...

Lin Yuan's heart felt cold, and Yan Ruchun's cold, arrogant and poisonous face appeared in front of her eyes.Poor thing!

On the first day of the new year, Lin Yuan and Mrs. Liu stayed at home for a whole day, but they couldn't do it since the second day of the new year, and guests who came to pay New Year's greetings came to the door in an endless stream.

Most of the people who came were wives and young ladies who were familiar with Mrs. Liu on weekdays.When she came here before, Lin Yuan hid in Dongtian or Yimingxuan because she thought it was troublesome, but now it was Chinese New Year, and she couldn't hide even if she wanted to, so she had to stay with Mrs. Liu to entertain these ladies.

It's entertainment, but it's just sitting in one place and chatting.

There are various styles of cakes on the table, all of which Lin Yuan sold at Daohuaxiang before.After coming to the capital, as long as she was free, she would go back to the kitchen to teach the cooks how to cook. Naturally, these pastries were also made by the cooks.

Although it wasn't made by Lin Yuan herself, in the eyes of these ladies in Beijing, it is already very rare and delicious.

Seeing everyone happily eating pastries and not forgetting to compliment her all the time, Lin Yuan was heartbroken.

Back then in Linjia'ao and Zhuma Town, how did she expect that there would be daughters from the capital officials to compliment her?
It's like a dream!

Lin Yuan talked to them politely, but the alienation and politeness in her tone was hard to hide.

Holding the teacup and chatting one after another, Lin Yuan just felt tired. Which of these ladies in front of her really wanted to make friends with her?It's nothing more than taking advantage of the opportunity of New Year's greetings to curry favor.

Speaking of fawning, she thought of someone.It was Cheng Yuexiu who had just been conferred the title of Princess Hexiu.

When it comes to currying people, Cheng Yuexiu is the best.It's just a pity that she picked the wrong person when she first came to the capital, and now that Su Qiuyu is concentrating on recuperating at home, she doesn't even go out for a walk during the New Year, so even if she flatters her, it's useless.

If she went to curry favor with others again, who could make her curry favor?
Similar to Su Qiuyu are Yao Hanyan and Lin Yuan, but both of them are at odds with Su Qiuyu.

Especially Lin Yuan, the two are still rivals in love!If she could put down her face to curry favor with such a person, wouldn't she have broken ties with Su Qiuyu directly?
I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional, but Lin Yuan was thinking about Cheng Yuexiu, and a rich lady mentioned her over there.

"Princess, do you still remember Princess Hexiu?"

The speaker was the daughter of a fifth-rank official, her eyes flickered when she spoke, and she looked very smart.

Lin Yuan felt that she was somewhat similar to Tian Xuan, and she was also warm to her before.

"The one who was just named a princess at the palace banquet, how could you not remember?"

Lin Yuan put down the tea cup in her hand with a smile, and gathered her sleeves.

Seeing her smiling all the time, the young lady became a little more casual when she spoke.

"Hmph, what kind of princess? To put it bluntly, it's just a pawn for making peace. Princess, look at her title, Hexiu Hexiu. Even the title tells people the reason why she became a princess so bluntly. It's really shameful."

Lin Yuan's complexion was a little ugly, her eyebrows were frowned, but she didn't have an attack after all, she still smiled and said, "The title bestowed by His Majesty, is it something we can say? Sister, please be careful."

Hearing Lin Yuan call her younger sister, the young lady felt even more joyful, she glanced at the daughters of the other three families present, and there was a bit of smugness in her brows.

Lin Yuan frowned subconsciously, her impression of this little girl was not good.

"What the princess said is that we can't freely discuss the title bestowed by His Majesty. However, Princess Hexiu has no real power at all. Others who are named princesses must be rewarded with some gold, silver, jewels, land and houses. She is a name. Tsk tsk, the princess doesn't know, many daughters in the capital secretly watch her jokes!"

As she spoke, the little girl covered her lips with a handkerchief and started to sneer.

Although what she said was not very pleasant, what she said was true.Even when Lin Yuan was named princess, the old emperor specially rewarded some land outside the city!

Now the princess Cheng Yuexiu has nothing. Although she is just a concubine princess, she should have a full set of things on the surface. Even if she doesn't give it to the land shop, she should be rewarded with some silver jewelry!

It's just a pity that there is nothing!
A young lady sitting on the side also laughed and said: "It's not a day or two since she was treated as a joke by everyone. Why is my sister so strange?"

Lin Yuan's attention was successfully attracted by this woman.

Seeing that her words attracted everyone's attention, the young lady blushed and continued to smile.

"Who in Beijing doesn't know that she has a crush on Master Lang Ma, the number one scholar? Every day, she rushes to curry favor with Master Ma's younger sister. As a result, heh, did you see her when the Prince of Xiliang asked her if she was married yesterday? She is still looking at Master Ma eagerly! It's just a pity that Master Ma doesn't take her seriously at all, and still sits there drinking wine, as if he doesn't even know her!"

"That's right, she paid the wrong price with her heart. I heard that she made a big fuss when she returned to the mansion. If Mr. Cheng hadn't sent someone to watch, she might have thrown herself into the river!"

"Oh? Didn't she just throw herself into the river? I heard that she cried all night in her room last night! Tsk tsk, tell me, she cried all night during the New Year's Eve, what a shame!"

"Can she not cry? She was abandoned by her lover and married to Xiliang. It would be strange if she could laugh!"

Hearing the gossip about Cheng Yuexiu from the ladies in front of her, the corners of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, and she picked up some tea to cover up the sneer at the corners of her mouth.

These people seem to be smart and virtuous, but in fact, none of them are easy-going, even the lady who she thinks is somewhat similar to Tian Xuan doesn't have a clean mouth.

It was Cheng Yuexiu's own choice, or her father's choice, that Cheng Yuexiu was named a princess to marry and get married.

If the Crown Prince of Xiliang asked her if she was married, and he directly said yes, would it be possible that the Crown Prince of Xiliang would ask you to hand her over on the spot?
Although doing this is a bit of a suspicion of deceiving the emperor, but as long as you quickly find a man to come out and stand on top of you afterwards, are you afraid of others to investigate?

Didn't Yan Ruchun and Wei Boyu have any evidence, just a verbal agreement?
But it's too late to say these things now, and it has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.

But there was one thing that she understood. The ladies in front of her were all envious of Cheng Yuexiu. After all, it was a very honorable thing to be chosen by the Prince of Xiliang to marry him!
The few people on the opposite side were still gossiping about Cheng Yuexiu crying at home, looking for death and life, and dared not go out, when Narcissus walked in quickly.

"Miss, Princess Hexiu sent you a post, inviting you to have a gathering at Cheng's mansion tomorrow. She also said that the Chinese New Year is a busy time, so please don't refuse."

As soon as this remark came out, the chattering little girls immediately fell silent, and before they could hide the gloating smiles on their faces, they all blushed when Lin Yuan looked at them intentionally or unintentionally.

Just now I said that he was looking for death and life, but now the master has already sent a post to invite people to come to the house to have fun and have fun. Such a slap in the face is really slapping!
Lin Yuan took the invitation card from Narcissus with a half-smile, looked at it unintentionally, and couldn't help laughing in her heart, it really is different after becoming a princess, even the invitation card has been replaced with a good material of bronzing .

Cheng Yuexiu was not such a generous person in the past, because even if she wanted to be generous, she was not capable of being generous.

Because she has no money!

Putting the post aside, Lin Yuan asked casually, "Do you know which lady is invited?"

Narcissus said respectfully: "The servant just asked specifically. It seems that there are also Miss Yao, Miss Su, and the daughters of several officials in Beijing."

Miss Su Mansion?

Lin Yuan frowned hesitantly, and then she heard Narcissus quickly added: "I heard from the little maid who delivered the post that Miss Su's family is ill, so I'm afraid she won't be able to participate."

It's best if you can't participate, so as to save yourself from arguing when you meet again.

After hearing Narcissus's words, the faces of the young ladies present were a bit ashamed. Their father's official position is not very high, and the highest is the fifth-rank official. It seems that this post will not be sent to them It's on hand.

It's just that this makes them even more ignorant. Since they are not qualified to see Cheng Yuexiu, they should just sit down and listen to some hearsay to embarrass themselves.

Live it!
