The remarriage of the high-ranking daughter

Chapter 43 The Strange Olive Branch
"But you...how did you get to this point?"

Shen Ping put down the tea bowl heavily, and sighed deeply, no wonder Chen Yutao wanted to stay in the Shen residence together after the chrysanthemum banquet but was rejected by Chang'an. joy and neglected to go.

If he had half the carefulness of Chang'an's mother, he might be able to restore his daughter's happiness.

Chang'an's eyes turned to the carved lattice window. The wind blew down, mixed with a little golden osmanthus, showing a bit of autumn's bleakness. Definitely...Father, let your daughter be self-willed again!"

Chang'an knew that her father would always be unable to refuse her requests and willfulness. No matter what she wanted, good or bad, even if she wanted to pick the stars in the sky, his father would work hard to achieve it.

Perhaps this is why her father always pampered her unconditionally in order to make up for her loss of mother when she was young.

But after all, only this time.

Looking at his father's old and hunchbacked figure when he left, Chang'an felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. Maybe his father couldn't understand why she did what she did today, but as long as she can keep the Shen family's future and everything she has No matter how many grievances and sufferings she has, she can swallow them in one gulp.

In order to welcome the arrival of Princess Anping, Mrs. Shen ordered Mrs. Xie to supervise and renew the layout of the mansion. Even the two blue-eyed stone lions in front of the mansion were polished brightly, and the long strip from the front yard to the back yard The avenue is covered with red carpets inlaid with gold edges, glazed palace lanterns flicker in the night, and the dazzling array of porcelains in the room dazzles the eyes. This arrangement is nothing less than the luxury of the Chrysanthemum Banquet.

Princess Anping came to the Duke's Mansion on such a night. All the masters and servants in the mansion knelt in front of the door to show their respect for the royal princess. Mrs. Shen even helped her cousin get off the sedan chair. The two walked hand in hand, smiling sweetly, just like sisters who haven't seen each other for many years, there is an endless friendship in it.

Chang An also followed the ranks of the female family members of the Shen family, but when Princess Anping got off the sedan chair, she secretly took a look at the powerful princess of the royal family.

Princess Anping may be in her early fifties, but due to proper maintenance, she looks like she is only in her forties. She is wearing a bright red and gold embossed makeup with a long skirt with wide sleeves inside. , while walking, you can see a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly from its sleeves. .

When stepping into the threshold of the Duke's Mansion, Chang'an glanced back again. The eldest princess was traveling, and the accompanying team went all the way, turning the corner of the street, which was evident.

The female relatives returned to the backyard, Shen Fan received the rest of the male guests, and Shen Ping was on the sidelines to help. He was originally a military commander, so he was not too keen on these ostentatious ostentations, but he was concerned about the royal family and his relatives In addition to worrying about his daughter's marriage for the past two days, Shen Ping naturally didn't have a good face.

This time, besides Marquis Wu An, the grandson Bai Mochen accompanied the eldest princess to visit Shen's mansion. Chang'an just passed by when he picked him up. He probably remembered that it was the young man riding a white horse beside the eldest princess' sedan chair. , then did not pay more attention.

Unexpectedly, just after all the female relatives settled down in Mrs. Shen's main room, someone from the other side came to report that grandchildren would come to visit Mrs. Shen soon, and the people present turned their backs on their backs.

Only the Eldest Princess caressed her sleeve calmly, and the corners of her raised eyes showed interest, but Mrs. Shen couldn't help but laugh a few times, "This child Mo Chen knows how to behave, and his cousin taught him well."

After all, it has been so many years since we haven't seen each other again, no matter how good the relationship is, the relationship will fade a lot. Mrs. Shen also understands in her heart that the bond between the two families is maintained, but it is only her two sons who are in court. It's all about earned decency.

The glory of a family of two countries is not available in any house.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help straightening her back, and looked at the eldest princess with a smile on her face.

"He is a junior, he should come to greet you and salute, and you can accept it with peace of mind."

The eldest princess patted the back of Mrs. Shen's hand, and the ruby ​​the size of a quail egg shone with luster between her fingers. Looking carefully at the palm of his hand, he sighed: "Where did my cousin find this good thing?"

The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is located in Quanzhou, not too far from the capital, but the eldest princess loves to walk around, and her knowledge and experience are not comparable to ordinary people. Therefore, even the emperor loves to hear her talk about folk anecdotes, and feel the love from all over the world. novelty.

"It's not your cousin-in-law," the eldest princess said about her husband-in-law, her face was full of satisfaction and happiness, "I heard that it was imported from the West, so he had to wait at the pier for two days before cutting off the second one." A cargo ship, I chose some weird things for me, not very expensive, just looking novel.”

After all, the Eldest Princess stretched out her hand indifferently, and with the pride of a woman, she sized up all the female family members in turn. When her eyes passed Chang'an, she couldn't help being startled, as if she couldn't remember, so she turned her head and looked at Mrs. Shen, "When did your Shen family produce such a fresh magnolia flower?"

Mrs. Shen was taken aback for a moment, followed the eyes of the eldest princess and looked over, her face darkened.

Changan specially combed a flowing cloud bun today, with a magnolia flower made of silk on the sideburns, wearing a thin autumn-colored gauze shirt embroidered with flowers and flowers, covered with a makeup beige of the same color, wearing very clear and light makeup , but it also stands out from the crowd of beaded hairpins, it is beautiful and natural, and a pair of green jade bracelets hangs between the white and bright wrists, as elegant and charming as a magnolia flower.

Chang'an's special makeup was naturally unremarkable in the dark crowd at that time, but when she was inside the house, with the shadows of clouds and fragrant temples all over the room, she was as elegant as a lotus emerging from water, and she naturally caught people's attention. Even Princess Anping, who is used to seeing all kinds of beauties in Tianxiang, pays special attention to her.

"Third girl, hurry up and meet the eldest princess!"

Mrs. Shen naturally does not want Chang'an to be appreciated by the eldest princess, but her outfit today is indeed eye-catching. The old lady's eyes are filled with deep thought. Could it be that this girl did it on purpose?

"Chang'an has met the eldest princess!"

While Mrs. Shen was speaking, Chang An had already got up and walked in the hall, bowing curtly to the eldest princess, with an elegant and graceful demeanor, without a trace of restraint or tension, and a gentle smile reflected in his raised almond eyes.

"Come here and let me have a look!"
