The next day was Su Wan's hair-raising ceremony, and the door of Jinning Palace was opened wide to welcome the guests who came to watch the ceremony.
Princess Huaihe came early with her daughter Princess Rujin, and Murong Xian also arrived early. Princess Huaihe went to the main courtyard to talk to Wang and others, while Princess Rujin and Murong Xian went to the main courtyard. I saw Su Wan in the east chamber.
The main courtyard here is not the main courtyard of the inner courtyard, Fupingyuan. Fupingyuan is the residence of Duke Jinning and the Wang family. The main courtyard of this outer courtyard is a place where visitors are entertained on weekdays. It does not have a specific name. , the people in the house just call it Zhengyuan.
At this time, the main room of the main courtyard is where the master's family receives guests, and the east wing has been cleaned up early. The hair extension ceremony will be held in the yard outside later, and Su Wan will change clothes in the east wing.
When Murong Xian and Princess Rujin arrived, Su Wan and Su Luo were talking to other girls in the room. Those girls were chattering with envy in their voices.
"If my family could organize such a show for me when I was old enough, I would be so happy that I fainted."
"No, Duke Ning of Jinning has hosted a banquet for all the powerful ladies and richest ladies in the entire imperial city. I heard that the most difficult to invite Madam Jing is also here."
"Isn't Mrs. Jing the matchmaker between the princess and Mr. Li? This is bound to happen. After the princess gets married, shouldn't the wedding be put on the agenda?"
"I have to say, although Young Master Li may seem to have an ordinary status, he didn't expect to be so generous. When he hired the princess in the past, he made us jealous."
"There is also the Qiankun Liangyi chess! It is said that it was the treasure of Emperor Li's master back then. Shilang Su dedicated it to His Majesty. Not only did he receive countless rewards, he also got a third-rank official!"
"Doesn't that mean Mr. Li earned a third-grade official for Mr. Su?"
"No!"
"I heard that Mrs. Jinning has also invited Princess Huaihe to be the princess's guest of honor, Princess Rujin to be the minister, and the second girl from Pingyuan Marquis to be the congratulator!"
"If you invite any of these three people, I will be so happy that I can't sleep."
"Hey, I was talking about you two, you two are here."
The group of people in the room were about to salute when Princess Rujin smiled and said, "There is no need to be too polite. Today, the main thing is A Wan and me. We should treat each other as sisters. Don't salute at every turn."
Murong Xiandao: "What Rujin said is that you just treat her as our sister today."
Su Wan came forward to greet the two of them: "You're finally here. I'm going to have to work hard for you today."
Murong Xian stopped and said, "I can help you with a small matter, and I'm very happy."
Princess Rujin also said: "That's right, Ah Wan, don't be polite to me. When I grow up, I might even ask you for help."
Su Wan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's Ah Wan's honor."
The three girls looked at each other and smiled, and then entered the room. A group of girls gathered around eating snacks, drinking tea and talking.
Someone said: "I heard that Mrs. Jinning gave Queen Anci's emerald phoenix hairpin to the princess for hair extensions. Is this true?!"
"Really? That emerald phoenix hairpin was not said to be Mrs. Jinning's favorite. Others could only take a look at it and didn't even want to touch it, yet she gave it to the princess."
Seeing several people looking over, Su Wan smiled and nodded: "Grandma cherishes me, and she did give me the hairpin."
The people next to him felt envious again.
Someone said: "I have heard from others that the third lady of Prince Zhao's Mansion was very angry because of this incident. It was said that Mrs. Jinning Ning was partial to the princess. When she first got hairpins, she was nothing but Got a broken hairpin."
Speaking of Su Fu, all the girls present looked down upon her.
Most of the people who appear here now are young girls waiting to be married from the powerful clans of the imperial city, and most of them are the legitimate daughters of the family. Su Fu used such despicable means to snatch the marriage of her sisters, which made them feel ashamed.
Then it happened that the Wang family came forward to ask them to come forward to add makeup to Su Fu. They did not dare to be dissatisfied with the elders in the family and Mrs. Jinning, and all the anger they were holding in their hearts went to Su Fu.
Later, I learned that she caused chaos in Prince Zhao's palace and fought to the death with Princess Zhao, which made me look down upon her even more.
"She dares to say this without looking at her own temperament. The princess is kind and filial, and has the love of Duke Jinning. So what if Lady Jinning gives good things to the princess!"
"She really thinks that all the good things in this world should be given to her!"
"that is!"
Seeing that this topic became more and more enthusiastic, someone noticed something was wrong, so they sighed: "It would be great if I could take a look at that emerald phoenix hairpin up close!"
Finally, he asked: "Princess, after the etiquette is over, can we take a look at the emerald phoenix hairpin? Don't worry, Princess, I will take a look at it and I won't damage it."
Su Wanzheng didn't know how to ask them to stop talking about Su Fu. Hearing this, he nodded quickly: "That's okay. After the matter is settled later, all sisters will come here. I will take out the hairpin and show it to everyone."
"good."
So Su Fu's topic was dropped, and Su Wan looked gratefully at the person who just spoke, who raised his eyebrows at her with bright eyes.
Su Wan remembered that she was the youngest daughter of the Minister of War. Her surname was Qu and her name was Qu Lingzhu. She was a lively and intelligent girl.
Qu Lingzhu smiled at her, and then said: "I heard that Mr. Li returned yesterday, and I don't know what he gave to the princess."
Su Wan smiled and said: "The hairpin given to me as a hairpin gift was given by him. He said the old hairpin was not suitable, so he found someone to make a new one. According to what my father said, he also gave it a name, A perfect match, the things were put away by my father, but I have never seen them."
"A perfect match, Mr. Li is really attentive."
"No!"
A group of girls were saying this, chattering happily and lively. At this moment, someone else suddenly came. The visitor laughed, and then said: "It's so lively here!"
"princess."
The visitors were none other than Princess Sui and Su Ling, as well as Su Ruo who was following Su Ling.
Princess Sui was wearing a sapphire blue coat with large sleeves and a emerald phoenix hairpin on her head. The hairpin was decorated with flowers on the side. She looked dignified and noble.
Su Ling next to her was wearing a peach red dress and a golden hairpin with plum blossoms and bamboo knots inlaid on her head. She looked weak and gentle. Maybe it was because she was pregnant, but she was more beautiful than the girl before. Plump up.
But the look on his face was peaceful, and he seemed to be living a good life.
As for Su Ruo, who was standing next to Su Ling, he glanced around, his eyes flickering, and his eyes fell on Su Wan for a moment, and his fingers tightened the handkerchief slightly.
She was wearing a crimson myrobalan skirt and two plum blossom hairpins on her head. She looked like a capable and refreshing woman.
