As Wei Yu said, Wei State's visit this time indeed presented a beautiful concubine to Chen Chaoci.
It is rumored that this woman is the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister of Wei State who will be raised in the mansion. He has carefully cultivated his chess, calligraphy and painting skills since childhood. Her appearance could be said to be stunning to a country, her skin was as white as snow, her figure was graceful, and her waist was as thin and soft as a willow, swaying gracefully.
I also heard that Chen Chaoci favored her for three days and even gave her Yi'an Palace to live in. The former concubine Chen did not enjoy such treatment when she first entered the palace.
In the past few days, Chen Chaoci had not even entered Concubine Chen's Jinxiu Palace, let alone the Queen's Changkun Palace. There has been a lot of discussion both inside and outside the palace. This morning, the uncle of the state also made a statement in the morning, angrily criticizing this woman as being sent by the Wei State to confuse the king's heart.
Zhezi was so angry that he threw it out.
Song Ran found it strange that Chen Chaoci had given her hand in marriage to Chen Chaobai because he was afraid that she would learn martial arts. Now you can have a woman from the Wei State by your side?
Because of beauty? But she had never heard that he was greedy for beauty.
Today, Song Ran accepted Zhaohua's summons and happened to be able to go and see her beauty.
Zhaohua has never been a worry-free person. It was better for her, because she had nothing to do, she directly summoned the noble ladies from several aristocratic families in the capital to come to the palace to accompany her in playing the piano and composing poems. Of course, they also included the queen's niece and Concubine Chen's sister.
When Song Ran arrived, Wang Chan was already playing her guqin on the Bailing Terrace.
Wang Chan wore a plain waist-length double-breasted skirt today, and her makeup was simple and elegant, as if she had copied someone's makeup.
Who do you imitate? Naturally, he copied Dong Shi's style and imitated Song Ran's. Song Ran practiced martial arts and was very heroic, so the makeup on her face was naturally not suitable for her. But what is suitable for Song Ran may not be suitable for Wang Chan.
Song Ran looked at Wang Chan's appearance, looking like a sickly young man. Listening to the tune she played today, it felt like she was about to die.
Then take a look at the queen's niece Lu Jinxiang, who is full of energy. She is wearing a chest-length skirt with thousands of silk and hundreds of flowers, and a golden bun with clouds on her hair. The smile on her face is a bit delicate. It's a pity that she is a unruly and willful little girl. Otherwise, Song Ran might like such a girl.
Writing poems and playing the piano is a lie, but being curious about this beautiful girl is true.
Perhaps it was one of them who encouraged Princess Zhaohua to do this.
Jiang Zhiru came a little later. He apologized to the princess several times. Zhaohua has always been gentle and does not stick to these small details, so naturally he will not take such trivial matters as her lateness to heart.
He also greeted her body in return.
Jiang Zhiru had also heard a little about what happened that day when she was frightened by the fierce horse.
The ladies from other families with whom I was friendly also heard the sound and came forward.
It was obvious that Jiang Zhiru was absent-minded, and she looked so unnatural. Maybe he was afraid of meeting Song Ran.
A few days ago, Chen Chaobai came back to the Song family's old mansion to sit for a while. He also told her the reason why Jiang Zhiru's horse suddenly went crazy.
The manu found a scar on the horse's belly that looked like a big needle. Because of the stinging pain, the horse loses control.
Song Ran recalled how Jiang Zhiru was dressed that day. Indeed, there was a hollow orchid hairpin stuck in her bun.
She thought she took off the beaded hairpin and stabbed the horse in the belly with the sharp part.
Chen Chaobai asked her with a meaningful smile what made a woman become so ruthless in order to defeat her.
"As expected, the princess's every frown and smile can scare all living beings."
Song Ran wanted to slap him twice in her heart. The reality is that she is useless...
That is the prince, the emperor's most respected younger brother today.
Perhaps Song Ran could slap herself a few times to make herself look fat and pig-eared, so that these noble ladies from the capital would not regard her as an imaginary enemy.
Liu Yunqi likes Arnold! What does it have to do with her?
And Chen Chaobai was not the one she wanted to marry. Those girls like him so much, why don't they think of a way to let the emperor reject Yina?
She just wanted to go back to Nan County and live freely. How did the runaway wild horse return to this cage covered with iron mesh?
Song Ran was in unspeakable misery. I really don’t know if this is this beautiful girl’s Hongmen Banquet or hers.
Jiang Zhiru, Wang Chan, and Song Ran had a headache just thinking about it.
Fortunately, Zhaohua didn't call Wei Yu along the way, otherwise she would have had one head and three heads.
When everyone had arrived, Zhaohua ordered the young eunuch to go to Yi'an Palace to invite this beautiful lady to come over.
While waiting for people to arrive, Princess Zhaohua was surrounded by a group of young ladies, and various compliments were heard from time to time.
Zhaohua accidentally raised his head and saw Song Ran wondering alone at the side.
She moved her body, jumped to Song Ran's side, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly: "My good sister."
Song Ran couldn't stand Zhaohua being so clingy, and felt the hairs on her hair stand on end. She wondered which young master would be blessed by the emperor and receive this little goblin in marriage in the future.
"Princess, please give me your instructions." Song Ran and Gu Zuo said angrily. His hands unconsciously touched Zhaohua's bun, once and for all.
"Is the young man who caught the thief for me that day really the general of Wei?"
Zhaohua raised his head, his spiritual eyes twinkling in his eye sockets. The girl's thoughts, her face seemed to be smeared with too much blush, and it was flushed, and the girl's little thoughts of the girl's first love were reflected on her face.
"Yeah." Song Ran didn't know what to do.
"Then, can you take me to say thank you in person another day?"
Zhaohua acted coquettishly, leaving Song Ran unable to resist.
Song Ran felt her heart skip a beat. Did Zhaohua have any thoughts that he shouldn't have?
Zhaohua saw Song Ran pondering expressionlessly and did not reply to her. He pouted again, shook her arm, and continued to act coquettishly.
She thought Song Ran was afraid of being punished if he took her out of the palace without permission and was discovered.
Song Ran was worried that Zhaohua fell in love with Mu Ling at first sight just because of a chance encounter. Her emotions were mixed. It wasn't like she fell into an abyss, but she watched the people around her fall willingly. She couldn't pull her out, nor was she qualified to pull her out. But she was helpless and confused. She might also want to fall in without any worries.
"Princess, Beauty Zhao is here."
The little eunuch attracted a group of people over. The leading woman is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face, petite body but plump body. Her bright yellow dress slowly flutters with her footsteps, as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon.
She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and bowed to Zhaohua to say hello.
According to the rules, she is the emperor's beauty, and Song Ran and others should salute and greet her. However, several other official ladies remained unmoved.
Song Ran frowned. As a princess from a prince's family, it was okay for her not to be polite. The others were just ladies from official families, and their parents had made them very courageous.
Just as Song Ran was about to step forward, she heard Lu Jinxiang chuckle.
Lu Jinxiang sat there with an expression of contempt on his face, looking up and down at Zhao Meiren with disdainful eyes.
Lu Jinxiang was furious these days when he heard that his aunt couldn't eat or sleep at night because of this beautiful girl. Today I just take this opportunity to train this bitch who competed with the Queen for her dragon pet.
"Princess Zhaohua is bored today, so she specially invited some of us official ladies to come and play the piano couplets. I heard that Zhao Meiren is also a well-known talented woman in Wei State, why don't you join us to help the princess in her fun today."
After speaking, she calmly picked up the brush on the table and wrote seven words on the paper. After finishing writing, he ordered the maid to bring it to Zhao Meiren, and asked without mercy: "You are a woman from the Wei Kingdom, can you understand the meaning of our Chen Kingdom's words?"
Zhao Meiren slowly raised her head, her eyebrows as slender as willow leaves frowned slightly.
Everyone can see what Lu Jinxiang wrote on the paper. The curse does not contain any curse words, but it also embodies the word "splash".
Song Ran was surprised. Such a unruly and willful little girl had excellent literary talent, but it was a pity that she was not used on the right path.
Lu Jinxiang pushed Mo Yan hard towards the direction where Mei Ji was standing.
With a clang, it fell to the ground.
"Oh, I was afraid that you couldn't reach it, so I pushed the inkstone in front of you. Why were you so careless and didn't catch it?" Lu Jinxiang's lips turned cold and he glared sharply at Zhao Meiren, making her shrink back in fear. Shrunk.
She stretched out her hand to take it. She was afraid that this white dress would not be spared. It would still attract their ridicule later. It would be wise not to answer.
I wonder if this Zhao beauty is as timid and cowardly as they saw.
What is the purpose of Wei Guo sending her here?
There is also Chen Chaoci, and why he loves him so much that he treats him specially.
Song Ran felt like her head was exploding. Such a little beauty could cause so many problems. And she was just a bystander, so why did she have to think about it so much? Should we consider this? If Chen Chaoci finds out about this today, will he be punished as well?
Song Ran looked at these people's little actions and felt that they were extremely stupid.
Wang Chan was not afraid of death and asked Beauty Zhao to pick up the inkstone by herself. She and Lu Jinxiang were usually incompatible with each other, but now they were colluding with each other and they were unanimous in speaking out.
She didn't even think about it, fearing that now her sister Concubine Chen would have to fawn over this Zhao beauty.
Song Ran pulled Zhaohua and whispered in her ear, "Don't the princess want to thank General Wei? This will invite the beautiful ladies from Wei and let these young ladies make things difficult. I'm afraid that if the news reaches their ears, they will think that we are Chen The princess of the country repays kindness with hatred."
Zhaohua's eyes flashed and he blurted out anxiously: "Why didn't I, the princess, think of this?"
Then he watched her eagerly call Xiao Fuzi over: "Xiao Fuzi, what are you still doing? Let a few young eunuchs clean this up."
"Princess." Lu Jinxiang suddenly stood up from the stool, his voice was urgent, and he looked dissatisfied.
Zhaohua was angry that she wouldn't argue and glared at her fiercely.
Lu Jinxiang held back his anger and sat down angrily.
Several little eunuchs brought wooden buckets filled with water, poured the water on the ground, and then lay on their stomachs and wiped it back and forth.
Several young ladies standing far away cast disdainful glances, and several young ladies standing nearby were afraid of getting their skirts dirty, so they moved aside while saying vulgar words.
"Okay, I'm tired too, you all should leave."
When the other ladies resigned, Zhaohua only held Song Ran and refused to let her go. He also invited Zhao Meiren to go back to Xiyun Palace where Zhaohua lived. Zhao Meiren did not dare to refuse, so she could only follow him obediently.
