Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 93 Do You Dare To Make Trouble Today?

In the city of Kyoto, the streets and alleys were full of people, and they gathered together to discuss in whispers the most lively Princess Zhaohua Mansion today.

"The gift from Shen Shilang is really precious. The gold and silver jewelry in that box may be used for several years."

"What's that? You didn't see the congratulatory gift from Princess An Ning. That's a rare gift."

"No, no, what you said is wrong, but I have heard people say that the gifts bestowed by the emperor are precious..."

Many people gathered together to fight with great vigor, as if they had seen those treasures with their own eyes.

In the palace of the princess, Shen Ninghua sat in front of the mirror, removed the extra accessories on her body, and only wore a simple white dress, and then let down her long hair behind her.

Hongling cautiously reached out her hand to touch her hair, and said with a full face of amazement: "Miss, some people say that hair is as beautiful as silk and satin, but this servant does not believe it. Only after seeing Miss's hair, does this servant know that it is not true at all, you Her hair is like water, and the servants are afraid that their rough hands will damage it if they touch it."

Shen Ninghua was amused by her: "Looking at your sweet mouth today, you want to extort a big red envelope from me."

"No way, the servant girl is just speaking the truth."

"Okay, I believe you mean it."

Bai Ping came in holding a tray with a pair of plain embroidered shoes on it: "Miss, the guests in the front yard have already taken their seats, and the second madam asked the servants to invite the young lady over."

Shen Ninghua put on her shoes, slightly folded her hands in front of her body: "Let's go."

Because of the previous incidents in the Shen family, Shen Ninghua's ceremony cannot be without elders, so she invited her second uncle Shen Liang and second aunt Su Shi to be the guests of honor. The two stood on the steps of the hall with smiles on their faces He looked at the figure walking in slowly at the door.

The guests who came to watch the ceremony had naturally heard of Shen Ninghua's beauty, but when they thought of removing all the decorations during the Jiji ceremony, many people had the idea of ​​watching a good show in their hearts.Especially some ladies from aristocratic families, they have always paid attention to their appearance, Shen Ninghua snatched the title of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, they agreed on the surface, but they might be jealous in their hearts.

It's just that when Shen Ninghua appeared on the stage, everyone present was shocked.She was dressed in white and had long hair. Apart from that, she had no other decorations on her body, but her elegance did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, she looked even more astonishing because there were no other decorations to distract attention.All eyes were on her beauty.

She carefully painted her eyebrows with Daishi, and the two slender eyebrow feathers set off a pair of bright black eyes like a pool of clear water, as if condensing the best colors in the world, and there is nothing comparable to them .

The ceremonial officer was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, and quickly sang a promise loudly: "Please take your seats, and the ceremony will begin!"

Everyone came back to their senses and surrounded Shen Ninghua into the hall.

Su Shi sat on the guest of honor seat, Qingque took the water basin for her to wash her hands, and then handed over the comb.

Shen Ninghua stepped forward with a smile, knelt on the prepared futon, and said, "Thank you uncle and aunt for coming to host me."

Su looked at her with a smile: "The family does not speak two different languages. My elder brother and sister-in-law have accidents and cannot come to help you complete the etiquette in person. Naturally, I, the aunt, should do it for you. You are the protagonist today, just be beautiful. Just sit there, and the other aunts have already made arrangements."

Shen Ninghua showed a sincere smile. In her previous life, she was almost transparent in the Shen family. No one remembered her wedding ceremony, let alone such a big celebration.This regret is made up for today.

"On the auspicious day of the lunar month, I will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, and follow your success. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

Amid the ceremonial officer's singing, Su Shi carefully coiled Shen Ninghua's long hair with a delicate jasper-carved hairpin.

Shen Liang picked up the red crown dress and put it on Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua was dressed in a fine attire, and her lingering eyes were so powerful that they were so beautiful.

The guests couldn't help but praise one after another, and the praiseful words filled the entire hall.

With a smile on his face, the ceremonial officer sang a promise loudly: "Please come forward to those who praise you."

Everyone's eyes focused on the entrance of the hall. The praisers were all friends or brothers and sisters of Jiji. Shen Ninghua invited her younger brother Shen Xuanhua.

It's just that they didn't expect that the person who came in wearing a dress turned out to be Princess Anning.

Baili Anning smiled all over her face: "Ninghua, you don't mind if I stole your brother's affairs."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Not only do I not mind, but I also want to thank Princess Anning, this time I snatched it well."

"Hehe, that's what you said." Baili Anning stepped forward, looking at her exquisite and unparalleled face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder the second emperor's brother never forgets her so much, and her appearance is too captivating .Thinking about it, he lifted Fubi jade hairpin lightly, "Congratulations, Ninghua."

Shen Ninghua nodded her thanks, and respectfully kowtowed in the direction of the palace.

So far, Jiji ceremony can be regarded as more than half completed.

"The decree has arrived!"

After Shen Ninghua finished her salute, before she got up, the servant who announced the decree came in with big strides.

Everyone quickly knelt down to accept the order.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's decree said, Princess Zhaohua is getting married today. I am very relieved. I specially ordered the Department of Internal Affairs to create a hairpin crown as a congratulatory gift. My son will be safe and smooth in the future!"

This decree was a bit nondescript, it was not so much a decree as it was what the emperor wanted to say to Shen Ninghua, such a friendly tone made people realize Shen Ninghua's position in his heart even more.

"Thank you, father, long live father, long live, long live."

A waiter has already brought in a tray, and the hairpin crown on the tray is shining with brilliance, gold silk jasper, gemstones and pearls, this hairpin crown is extremely luxurious, I don’t know how much thought it took to make these precious materials Fit together seamlessly.

Su Shi stepped forward, took the hairpin crown carefully, and helped Shen Ninghua put it on her head.For a moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be attracted, making people almost think that the Nine Heavens Xuannv descended from the sky.

The flattery at the banquet was extremely loud, and the emperor clearly expressed his love for Shen Ninghua, no one dared to trouble Shen Ninghua at this time.

"His Royal Highness sent a congratulatory gift."

"His Royal Highness King Dejun sent a congratulatory gift."

"The third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince..."

After Baili Qingcang's imperial decree, congratulatory gifts from several princes were presented one after another, which made everyone's eyes dazzled for a while.

The main hall is full of all kinds of rare treasures, which makes people dizzy.

Baili Anning exclaimed in a low voice, these brothers of hers probably emptied one-third of their private treasury, this gift is too expensive and astonishing.

The hall slowly fell silent, and many people stared at the door, wanting to see how many congratulatory gifts the princess could receive.

A loud announcement came:

"Shen Linghan sent a congratulatory gift."

Shen Linghan?Isn't that Shen Ninghua's second younger sister, the one who was demoted to a commoner some time ago?
Immediately, many people's eyes became suspicious, and they secretly looked at Shen Ninghua's face.

Shen Ninghua turned her head to signal, and Bai Ping personally went out to present the congratulatory gift from Shen Linghan.

Shen Linghan followed behind Bai Ping, her cheeks were slightly flushed, she was a bit ashamed and uncomfortable, with a pair of big watery eyes, she had a gesture of pity for me.

Bai Lu handed over the tray in his hand, and lifted the red cloth on it.On the tray, several handkerchiefs embroidered with orchids were neatly stacked.

"I've seen you." Shen Linghan bowed her knees and looked up at Shen Ninghua in embarrassment, "Congratulations to my sister and Ji, I should have prepared a generous gift, but... because of the special circumstances, I can only give you a handkerchief embroidered by myself , I hope that my eldest sister will never be disgusted with it, and I wish my eldest sister a prosperous career and smooth sailing in the future."

There were small discussions in the crowd.This special situation naturally means that the Shen family was confiscated and demoted to common people. Only Shen Ninghua herself was rewarded by the emperor, not to mention being named princess, and even received countless valuable gifts on the day of Jiji ceremony. The difference is really one underground and one heaven.

Especially Shen Linghan's last sentence of blessing, great success... Shen Ninghua is naturally prosperous, but her relatives are still living in hardship. This kind of comparison makes people think a little more.

Shen Linghan lowered her head, her eyes flashed bursts of pride, the world sympathizes with the weak, she is in trouble now, but Shen Ninghua is sought after, the more humble she is, the more sympathy she can get from others.

Shen Ninghua watched her performance coldly, and the temperature in her eyes became colder and colder.During this period of time, she has improved a lot. Although this trick is simple and crude, it is really effective.

If it were an ordinary person, she might be beaten by surprise, but she is not an ordinary person, so she would not be persecuted by Shen Linghan.

"I'm very happy that my sister can come. Even if I send a feather, I will cherish it. How can I dislike it. Bai Lu, take my sister to the backyard for dinner."

Shen Linghan raised her eyes, her eyes were already full of water: "Elder sister, there is no need to arrange meals, I can say that I can't be on the stage now, and I dare not lose face of elder sister."

"Sister, this is wrong. Don't say that you are just being demoted to a commoner by the emperor now, and you are wearing a sinful body. My princess's mansion welcomes you at any time. If you are not present today, I will definitely do it for you." Get a seat."

When everyone heard it, it suddenly dawned on them that Shen Linghan wasn't the body to wear a crime, but Zhao Yunxiang was.

According to the laws of the Da'an Dynasty, if the mother is convicted, the children will not enter the court for three years.Shen Linghan's coming here today is a great disrespect, if she is allowed to sit in the seat and have a meal with everyone, I am afraid that rumors will spread in the streets and alleys tomorrow that the wives and young ladies of various families do not respect their status.

This is lighter, if it goes deeper, the emperor made a judgment on the Shen family some time ago, and today everyone will have a banquet with Shen Linghan.Is this expressing dissatisfaction with the emperor's judgment?Or have other ideas?
Although they wanted to watch a play, they didn't want to get dirty.

Shen Linghan's face turned pale, standing in the distance almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Some people around have already spoken sarcastically: "Shen Linghan, it is extremely lenient for the princess to let you in in large numbers, so don't push yourself too far."

"Yeah, is this a place where anyone can come?"

"Yes."

Shen Ninghua got up and walked in front of Shen Linghan, took off an emerald bracelet from her wrist and handed it over: "Sister, just listen to my advice and ask Bai Ping to take you down for dinner. When the banquet is over, I will let you visit Father, you take this bracelet first, and treat it as a thank you gift from me to my sister."

"No, how can I want your things." Shen Linghan's face was stiff, but she had to forcefully maintain a smile. If she lost face at this time, she would have no chance to turn over again.

Shen Ninghua looked at her disapprovingly: "You are sisters, even a bracelet is too thin for me, so don't refuse, put it on quickly."

Saying that, she held Shen Linghan's hand directly, and wanted to put the bracelet on her on her.Shen Linghan struggled violently, her sleeves slipped down, revealing a small part of her wrist. On each of her wrists was a beautiful glazed and emerald jade bracelet, which faintly radiated from the shaking, which was obviously of great value.
