The dignified prime minister has no desires or demands and has no intention of courting the court. He puts on an attitude of "I don't care, you can do whatever you want" all day long. His son is also a fool. From the beginning to the end, he didn't get the slightest bit of fishiness.
However, after the fall of the Mu family, Xu Xiang's son suddenly recovered from his mental illness, and through the enlightenment of the Bodhisattva, he acquired a photographic memory. After studying in the Imperial Academy for a year, his knowledge could defeat most people.
There is also Xu Hanzhang, who seems to be brainless and reckless. He always acts coquettishly and provokes others with words, but he never really offends anyone. Even when he speaks for Song Linlang, he is very skillful, and he is the one who suffers in the end. , will put the blame on Song Linlang and ignore her as a pawn.
On the other hand, Song Linlang, who used Xu Hanzhang as a gunman, was still at a loss and felt that she was very smart and capable.
Finally, there is Mrs. Xu Xiang.
The British Duke's family is arrogant and arrogant. As the younger sister, the British Princess often gives advice to her sister, Mrs. Xu Xiang, and interferes in other people's family affairs. Mrs. Xu has a "very good temper" and is "grateful" to her sister. She doesn't care about anything. Go to your sister for advice, or simply ask your sister to help her solve the problem.
Li Qingyi made a "tsk" sound in his heart. He was afraid that Xiang Xiangfu, a family of foxes, had long seen the ambitions of the Mu family and hid his clumsiness in order to protect himself.
She was about to say that she wouldn't join in the fun this time.
After all, Aunt He's matter in the Zhen Mansion has not yet been resolved, and she still has to think about it.
I heard Princess Yuanheng say: "I heard that Mrs. Xu Xiang borrowed a painter from the palace from the queen to paint a three-foot-long picture of a goddess in order to make the spring banquet more lively. After the queen heard about it, I was very interested and immediately agreed. You may not know that this scroll can be passed down for hundreds of generations. I ask you, which noble lady in the capital doesn’t want to leave her name forever? Therefore, almost all the rich ladies from various houses accepted the invitation of Prime Minister Xu.”
Li Qingyi was surprised, "Is there such a thing? Then I really have to go and see the excitement."
After all, she is a teenage girl, and sometimes she can't suppress her playful and curious nature.
Princess Yuanheng hesitated: "Every government must know about your affair with Qin Zeng. I'm afraid there will be a lot of gossip. Do you really want to go?"
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "Go, why don't you go? I would like to see how many of these delicate girls in Beijing say sour grapes. It will definitely be interesting."
Wei Jin'er covered her lips and snickered, "If it weren't convenient for me to go out these days, I would also like to go and see it with my sister."
Princess Yuanheng gave them an angry look, "Provoke!"
Returning to Zhuoxiangyuan, Li Qingyi took the post sent by Prime Minister Xu in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said: "Wei Lan'er is not a person who can knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. I am afraid he will try his best to kill me. This Will you take action at the Spring Festival Feast?"
"Bah, bah, bah, why is this girl not afraid of death?"
Something happened this time, it was a hidden weapon and an ambush, and I almost lost my life. I almost scared a few girls to death. They are still nervous now.
Li Qingyi glanced at Isatis who was speaking with a smile, "If you don't say the word 'die' and you can live a hundred years, wouldn't you be dissatisfied that the world is full of old monsters?"
Silan looked at her angrily, looked at the post and said, "Girl, you know someone will spoil your idea, so just don't go there. Why do you want to get involved?"
"You can hide from the first year, but not the fifteenth. Some things can't be solved by hiding." Li Qingyi said with a smile: "Besides, isn't it tiring to be on guard all the time? The sooner you solve it, the sooner you will be free."
Chang Ning said from the side: "That's right, for some people, the more you hide, the more they think you're afraid of her, and the more they'll take advantage of you."
"That's true, it's better than being tricked by her unexpectedly when I'm not prepared. However, I'm really curious, what will the three-foot-long goddess look like in the picture?"
Li Qingyi also wanted to know, "I remember that there was a painter named Huang in the palace. He was very skilled in painting, especially portraits. He was favored by the nobles. He would be invited to paint portraits every three days. I didn't know that Mrs. Xu Xiang borrowed it. The person is not him."
Changlan suddenly remembered something and interrupted: "The Eleventh Princess and the Third Princess had a quarrel some time ago. Is it because of this painter named Huang?"
Li Qingyi was startled after hearing this.
: "Which episode is this? Why don't I know?"
"My servant also heard about this by chance. I heard that the eleventh princess was looking for a painter to paint her portrait. It happened that the third princess also wanted to look for a painter to paint her portrait. The two of them had a fight over each other and were grounded by the queen for a long time. Woolen cloth."
Li Qingyi blinked when he heard this, and suddenly remembered something that happened in his previous life...
*****
During the Spring Banquet, when Li Qingyi arrived at Xiang Xiang's Mansion, many people had already gathered in the courtyard.
Mrs. Xu Xiang loved flowers, especially the colorful peonies. At this time, the flowering period had not yet come, but the pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water were gorgeous everywhere. It can be seen that just like before Qin Zeng, the gardener used the earth dragon to encourage the flowers to bloom. At this time, the whole court is like a fairyland.
As we walked along the corridor, we heard the sound of women playing. When we looked up, we saw a group of young girls chatting and laughing in the octagonal pavilion in front of us. All of them were dressed up with splendor and rich clothes, comparable to the flowers blooming in the garden. No less impressive.
Among the girls, there was a girl with scorching scarlet clothes, intricate patterns on her sleeves, and an indescribable beauty. Although the others were not bad, they all eclipsed her in front of her.
This girl is one of the emperor's favorite princesses, the third princess.
She is five years older than Princess An Cheng, and her biological mother entered the palace at the same time as Concubine Mu. Unfortunately, the beauty died early, leaving only this daughter.
At that time, the emperor's second princess had just died, so he felt more pity for her because she lost her biological mother at a young age, and took special care of her.
But the third princess has not chosen her consort yet.
When Li Qingyi saw that she was indeed here and knew that the thing he remembered would probably happen today, he became a little more cautious.
She was looking at the others, and Song Linlang was here too.
Although there is no rule that only young girls who have not left the court can come to this kind of occasion, after you get married, you have countless things to take care of in the house, and you have to deal with your husband and mother-in-law. If you want to join in the fun, you may not be free, even if it is a post When it is delivered to the house, the elders of the family usually attend with their unmarried daughters and granddaughters, and they definitely do not bring their new wives.
Unless it's a big wedding or funeral.
But when a man comes, he must also sit quietly with the women and talk quietly. She even got together with a group of little girls to play around, which made her look unstable, making people laugh at her, and her husband's family was also embarrassed. Read the book
However, Song Linlang and the Xu family are cousins, so coming to join in the fun today is barely acceptable.
Chang Lan whispered: "This fourth prince must be here to flirt with the goddess, right? A newly married young woman would not be ashamed to be among a group of girls who have not yet left the palace! Otherwise, let that Mr. Huang, please draw a picture of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for her and Concubine Mu."
