History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 66

Lin Lang, who was walking through the chrysanthemum bushes, didn't know that there was an old friend standing in the distance, so she just followed Mei Shi and Qin Zhen and walked in talking and laughing.The pine flower-colored pleated dress swept across the flower branches, and Qin Zhen casually folded a hairpin and put it next to her ear, adding to the beauty.

Rui County Prince's Mansion hosted a banquet, all the prominent figures in Huaiyang City were invited, the Qin family and Zhu family were naturally present, and Shen Yulian's mother and daughter were also invited.The terrain at the foot of the mountain is wide open. In addition to the autumn chrysanthemums all over the slope, the maple leaves on the mountain have gradually changed their colors, mixed with red and green, and the clear water and long sky are open and clear.There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions at the foot of the mountain, and the county king's mansion is surrounded by curtains in the open space, and blankets are spread on the ground, and screens, tables and chairs are placed on the ground, which is very wild.

Lin Lang and Qin Zhen held hands, and when they followed Mrs. Mei to the tent, there was already a group of little sisters waiting there.Shen Yulian was still admiring the screen, and when she saw Qin Zhen, she hurried over to say hello, but her voice was stuck in her throat, and she looked at Lin Lang in surprise.

Qin Zhen introduced with a smile: "This is my cousin He Linlang, this is Shen Sima's daughter, named Yulian."

They are all people who come and go frequently, and Shen Yulian probably knows that Qin Zhen's aunt married into the capital, her husband's surname is He, and she has a high position and authority.She immediately took a cautious look at Lin Lang, thinking about the power of the Qin family, she dared not offend her, she put on a smile on her face, and asked curiously: "Is it from your aunt's family?"

Qin Zhen nodded, and Shen Yulian came over, bit her lips and said, "I'm really sorry about what happened that day, I was just joking, who knows... If I knew it was Miss Zhen's sister, I wouldn't have opened that Just kidding."

What Lin Lang was annoyed at the time was that Shen Congjia's actions were insignificant, and she had no grudges against Shen Yulian.

What's more, Lin Lang also knew Shen Yulian's temperament, she was spoiled to the point of arrogance and arrogance, easy to offend people, but she didn't have any overnight hatred.She was used to that kind of thing before, and if she really wanted to care about it, it would be useless, so she blinked her eyes and pretended to remember, wondering: "Hey, I don't remember what happened that day." Then she pursed her lips and smiled Then, he took Shen Yulian's hand, "Is it interesting to see how seriously you looked at the screen just now?"

With a smile, the previous suspicions were resolved, and the three of them went to the small room surrounded by curtains.

They came here after paying homage to Princess Ruijun, but the wives were still sitting in the living room, and there were only a few little sisters staying here.The two girls from Yuan Zhou's judges also came, one Wu Yingxiu and one Lu Yan, but they were both fourteen or fifteen years old, and they didn't see each other much.

Qin Zhen introduced Lin Lang, and then asked Shen Yulian, "Your sister hasn't come back yet? And why isn't Xiangxiang here today?"

"My sister won't come back until two days later. Xiangxiang heard that my son caught the wind and cold, so I don't know if I can come." Shen Yulian felt a little regretful, and suddenly pointed to the distance happily, "Look over there, isn't it here?"

Following her direction, she saw Princess Ruijun walking slowly with a group of wives, followed by a group of maidservants, followed closely by the princess Zhu Hanxiang, the daughter of the Jiedu Envoy's family?
Qin Zhen laughed, "Sickened by the wind and cold? I see that she chatted happily with the princess."

"Xiangxiang is the best at making the concubine happy, shall we go there too?" Shen Yulian didn't notice Qin Zhen's faint sarcasm, she took Qin Zhen's hand and walked forward, and Lin Lang followed.

The important wives at the other end, Lin Lang, have also met. The mother and daughter of the Zhu family came late, and Lin Lang hadn't seen her when she visited the princess, and Mrs. Zhu was the woman who was second only to the princess, so Wu smiled. introduce.

Qin Ziyang's rank as Zhizhou is not too high, but he has the title of Bachelor of Baozhangge on his head, so his status is quite different.What's more, he is in charge of the affairs of the three states and has a lot of power in his hands. Prince Rui treats him more politely, and the Zhu family will not underestimate him. Hearing that he is Zhizhou's niece and He Zhiqiu's granddaughter, it is inevitable to be polite.

Lin Lang forced a smile to answer, but felt very depressed.Married into Zhu's family in her previous life, this mother-in-law adhered to the dogma and protected her children, but she did not suffer less. Linlang felt resentful towards her to some extent, even though it was a lifetime ago, she felt very uncomfortable now.After saying a few perfunctory words, she squeezed Qin Zhen's hand, Qin Zhen understood, and took her to the side to look at the chrysanthemums.

There are many varieties of chrysanthemums planted in Wangfu Bieyuan, including red, yellow, white, orange, purple, pink, and dark red. Although the chrysanthemums planted here are not top-notch famous products, they are also very outstanding.

The two sisters were talking about the beauty of the jade-like curled petals, when someone behind them said, "Miss Zhen, your cousin is so beautiful!"

Looking up, it was Zhu Hanxiang, with an oval face and almond eyes, smiling kindly.Although Qin Zhen knew that this was a polite word, Zhu Hanxiang still felt that it was beneficial for her to praise so bluntly, and she even lost the sarcasm just now, and asked, "I heard that you caught a cold earlier, are you okay now?" ?”

"It's much better." Zhu Hanxiang folded the flowers and played with them in his hands, and said: "I heard from the princess that the hibiscus in the back mountain is in bloom, let's go and see later?" Although there are many famous ladies in Jiangnan, when it comes to status From family background, Qin Zhen is the only one Zhu Hanxiang really admires, so he loves to play with her.

Qin Zhen quickly said, "Sit down for a while before going."

The three walked slowly along the flower path and talked. Lin Lang and Zhu Hanxiang met each other for the first time, so it was inevitable that they would say a few words.

In her previous life, Linlang got along well with Zhu Hanxiang when she was about to get married, but after entering Zhu's house, she realized that this sister-in-law was actually very difficult.Even though she lived a new life and looked down on that little entanglement, she won't be too close at the moment, looking at Qin Zhen's face, it's enough not to be cold.What's more, she has a lot of conflicts with Zhu's family, and she really wants to win over her with affection, she doesn't have such a city now.

Chongyang picnic, in fact, these wives and girls get together to connect with each other and relax. Not too restrictive either.

Zhu Hanxiang probably missed the hibiscus flower very much, coaxed the princess of the county to laugh for a while, joked with the girls present, and then tugged at the corner of Qin Zhen's clothes.Qin Zhen understood, followed her with Lin Lang, and walked towards the back mountain.

Lin Lang has just arrived here and met everyone as Qin Zhen's cousin, so she must act in the same way as Qin Zhen at this moment.

The three of them walked alone with their maids, how could no one see them, Shen Yulian's brother and sister usually love to follow the Zhu brothers and sisters, now they also brought their maids to catch up, approached and smiled: "Where are you going?"
