On the day of the flower viewing party, the girls from Tan Mansion dressed up early, went to pay homage to the old lady, and then went out together.
Because Princess Wenhua only invited girls who had not left the palace, neither Wang nor Qiao were allowed to go.
Seeing the usually cautious concubines dressed up in fancy clothes, Ms. Wang spat and cursed in a low voice: "If my Wan'er hadn't still been in Lingzhou, how would you little bitches like you have a chance to shine today?"
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she rolled her eyes and left with the girl beside her.
The old lady, on the other hand, stopped Wang and asked, "Do you know what Brother Hui is doing in Haitang Pavilion?"
When Wang heard this, she felt guilty instantly.
She secretly glanced at the old lady and saw that she had her eyes closed and nothing could be seen on her face, so she considered it and said, "My daughter-in-law has heard a little bit..."
"Just listened to a little bit?" The old lady opened her eyes and said expressionlessly, "How do I tell you on weekdays?"
Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes and said reluctantly: "The second cousin is also a distinguished guest, so we must treat her with care."
"Then how did you entertain?"
Mrs. Wang remained silent.
In her mind, how could a merchant girl with such a low status be qualified to be a distant relative of a minister?
Only your niece is the real cousin!
How could Old Mrs. Tan not see what she was thinking? She said, "This girl from the Qiao family's appearance is a powerful tool for marriage. Why don't you understand what I mean?"
Mrs. Wang paused and didn't dare to say anything for a moment.
Of course she knew that both the old lady and the uncle were willing to keep Qiao Yuanfei because they liked the beauty of this merchant girl.
But who let this little bitch hook up with his son?
Wang became angry when she thought of this: "Mother, it must have been this little bitch who seduced Brother Hui that day at Haitang Pavilion. She is of low status and is not young anymore. She couldn't find a good marriage, so she wanted to climb up the ranks in our house. . But Brother Hui is going to be the top scholar, how can she be worthy of it?"
"Is a gadget worthy of your daily efforts?" the old lady said coldly, "Brother Hui is just young and not sensible yet. As a mother, you should teach him well."
After thinking about it, the old lady motioned to the maid behind her: "Just give Rong Ning to Brother Hui."
Wang was stunned for a moment: "Mom, he took a concubine before we got married. If word spreads..."
"If you don't tell me, who knows? Rong Ning will come back to serve me on weekdays. When Brother Hui gets married, I will give her a title. But in the future, I must never get into trouble with Mr. Qiao again. If the girl is forced to leave the house, all my efforts will be in vain."
Wang understood the words and responded obediently.
No one else knew about the old lady's appearance, so Qiao Yuanfei quietly got on the carriage and headed east of the city.
Princess Wenhua's flower-viewing banquet was held at Princess Dachang's Mansion.
Her mother is the eldest princess of Jing'an, and her father is Marquis Xuanwu. On weekdays, she lives with her parents in the Marquis Mansion. If there are any banquets, they all move to the Princess Mansion.
There is no other reason, just because the princess's mansion is large and grand.
When they arrived at the princess's house, everyone handed over the post and followed the maid to the garden.
Princess Wenhua loves liveliness, and the number of people at this banquet is even higher than usual. You can meet young girls almost everywhere you enter.
Qiao Yuanfei walked and watched all the way, surrounded by fat, thin and beautiful faces. This lively scene gave her the illusion of being alive.
When they arrived at Fu Cui Garden, the maid left and everyone went to play by themselves.
It is a rare opportunity for ladies in the capital to go out, so when they met today, they naturally couldn't wait to chat together in private.
When Qiao Yuanfei and the others arrived, they stood there doing nothing.
Tan Yun grew up in Xuanzhou and had few friends in Beijing. As a concubine, Tan Ling didn't have many opportunities to go out, and she didn't have a handkerchief to hand. As for Qiao Yuanfei, needless to say, this is his first time in Beijing.
So you looked at me and I looked at you, and after staring for a while, I simply lowered my head to enjoy the flowers.
Late spring and early summer are the time for colorful flowers.
The princess's palace is rich and luxurious, and unknown flowers are blooming even more beautifully.
Seeing a spring orchid blooming side by side, the flower shape was very good. Qiao Yuanfei just leaned over to take a look when he noticed something swinging towards the right side.
Qiao Yuanfei quickly dodged, and when she looked up, she saw a girl wearing a hairpin with five phoenixes hanging on her head and a long whip in her hand.
