Chapter 20 Prince Consort: The Princess Appreciates Flowers, I Appreciate Others

It was said that it was a peony banquet, but there was no pot of peonies in the palace, and Concubine Luo didn't care, it was always fake to reward peonies, and the people she wanted to see were real.

Therefore, for this peony banquet, anyone who has a little bit of status in Rongzhou can receive her flower appreciation stickers.

At present, the gift in the palace has not been handed over to the back house, but Qin Shouchang followed Yan'an to take care of it. Concubine Luo handed over the arrangement of the peony banquet to Huai Xu, who stopped him on the first day with a white jade abacus and ledger In Yan'an, the garden of the back residence of the Prince's Mansion was marked out in a big circle with a blank face, and it was used for flower feasts.

Surprisingly, Yan'an originally thought that King Rong would not agree to this kind of thing, but after he reported back, Qin Shou only nodded to show that he knew, and then ignored it.

Three days passed by.

On this day, after decades of silence, the Prince Rong's Mansion was the first time it was so lively. Those who received the princess decals looked at the red decals with golden rosebird pattern, feeling honored and hot at the same time.

After all, anyone with a little discernment knows that in Rongzhou, Prince Rong's Mansion is the real feudal lord, with the Qin family army in his hands, and the emperor in the capital is too far away to manage it.

And I also heard that the princess and Rong Wang are not warm as husband and wife.

Concubine Luo didn't pay much attention to what other people were thinking, she woke up early in the morning, tidied up slowly, had breakfast quietly, and then sat under the locust tree.

Today, in Liugong'e, Mingyu and Jixia served personally, and Yan'an had been going back and forth between Anfo Temple and Houzhai Garden, his legs were almost broken, but he still had to make another trip to receive the guest list.

"Back to the princess, Zhu Changshi and Zhang Zhenshou have arrived." Yan'an rolled up his sleeves and quietly wiped the sweat from his temples.

Under the rule of the vassal king, only the three positions of long history, guard commander and guard commander were directly dispatched by the imperial court, and all other officials were directly selected from the fiefdom.

Therefore, Yan'an didn't understand why the lord, knowing that these three positions belonged to the imperial court, specifically told the princess to report back.

Sure enough, Concubine Luo heard the words, pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the wife guarding the commander is from the capital. It is also a happy event to meet an old acquaintance in Rongzhou. Go to Xuan to meet me first."

Yan'an should be in a hurry, and after a short while, he brought a woman about 25 to [-] years old.

The woman had a kind round face, a bun made of gold ingots, a hairpin made of snakes and white jade hairpins, and she was wearing a water-green hang silk ruyi dark-pattern shirt.

"Woman Zhang Lianshi, I have met the princess, and the princess is always happy." Zhang Lianshi was worried, and pulled his daughter to greet him, not daring to look up.

Concubine Luo was holding a teacup with bone china painted red roses. The slender jade fingers looked like green onion tubes, and it looked even more beautiful against the bone china. Shi Dao, "Get up, this is not the capital, there are not so many rules."

Finally, he said, "Ji Xia, take a seat."

Zhang Lianshi hurriedly said, "My wife, thank you Princess for giving me your seat."

After Zhang Lianshi sat down, Concubine Luo saw that she was very reserved, and smiled lightly, "Mrs. Zhang, don't be nervous, I don't eat people, but I heard that Mrs. Zhang is from the capital, so please come and see me. "

Zhang Lianshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still said respectfully, "It's my wife's knowledge that is vulgar, the princess has a golden branch and jade leaves, and my wife is just agitated, I hope the princess will forgive me."

Zhang Lianshi was very clever, he could understand Concubine Luo's mind in just a few words, and his words were more casual, he raised his eyes inadvertently, and was stunned.

Concubine Luo said rightly, "Is this Mrs. Zhang's beloved daughter?"

Zhang Lianshi snapped back to her senses, she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the princess any more, but her face gradually became hotter. As a woman, she sometimes stares blankly at a woman's appearance. Should I say that the princess is too beautiful, or She is too rude?
The little lady was simple-minded, although she knew that the princess in front of her was Jingui, she didn't know much, so the surrogate mother replied, "Princess, the father of the minister is Zhang Zhenshou and the commander."

Concubine Luo nodded, without waiting for her to say anything, the little lady boldly said again, "The princess is so beautiful, just like a fairy daughter."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned. Zhang Lianshi came to his senses and pulled his daughter to kneel on the ground. "The minister is incapable of discipline, and the child is incompetent. Please forgive me, princess."

Concubine Luo got up slowly, she walked in front of the little lady, pulled her up and said, "What is the crime that can be forgiven? Could it be that you praised the beauty of this palace student? Is this palace beautiful or not?"

Zhang Lianshi was stumped by these words, she blushed and said embarrassingly, "Princess is naturally beautiful."

Concubine Luo withdrew the red gold longevity lock bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into the little lady's hand, "You little lady is very much in my palace's favor, you deserve it!"

Zhang Lianshi was shocked, she remembered that before going out her husband had warned her not to get too close to the princess, nor to intentionally alienate her, to behave in a moderate way, just to be the same as others, if she took this bracelet now, it would be hard to say.

"Princess, this bracelet is too expensive, and my daughter is young, so I'm afraid she won't be able to bear such a blessing." Zhang Lianshi said tactfully.

Hearing this, Concubine Luo's face turned cold, "Mrs. Zhang doesn't care about the reward from my palace?"

"Princess, my wife absolutely has no such intentions." Zhang Lianshi's face turned pale, only regretting that he should not come to this flower banquet today.

The little lady held the bracelet, looked at the princess, and said crisply, "Mother, my daughter likes the bracelet that the princess gave me very much."

After she finished speaking, she blinked her eyes as clear as purple grapes and said, "Princess, if my servant wears the bracelet awarded by the princess, will she look as beautiful as the princess in the future?"

Concubine Luo couldn't care less about a child, she laughed out loud, bent down and pinched the bridge of the little lady's nose, "It will be fine."

The little lady smiled happily.

"I see that Mrs. Zhang is not as sensible as a young lady," Concubine Luo took the initiative to hold the young lady's hand after saying this, "Let's go, it's time to go to the garden."

The little lady turned her head to look at Zhang Lianshi, and seeing her nodding, she shook the princess's hand back, raised her head and said, "The servant girl wrote down the way when she came, and the servant girl will lead the way for the princess."

"That's good." Concubine Luo rubbed her little hands, but she had another thought in her mind.

She remembered that in her last life, she always thought that among the three positions of long history, guarding commander and guarding commander, at least the guarding commander who was born in the capital was loyal to the emperor's brother. Let the emperor's brother be prepared.

However, people's hearts are really unpredictable, and it was not until the end that she realized that Qin Shou had already bought the three positions of feudal lord.
