Sure enough, the post about Princess Pingyang’s flower viewing party arrived.
On this day, Liu Anan followed his aunt, mother, and cousin Huanyan, made an appointment with Mrs. Xue, and rushed to the eldest princess's mansion together.
The two sisters-in-law of the Chu family also got together with the eldest uncle.
The eldest princess's mansion was not far from the palace, and Emperor Renzong put his only sister under his nose.
The eldest princess Pingyang has not remarried in the years since she came back. Earlier, Empress Dowager Li pretended to care about the eldest princess Pingyang and wanted to choose another consort for her.
Putting aside whether he could trust Empress Dowager Li, Emperor Renzong was so angry that he threw down his pen when he saw the candidate for the consort.
The person chosen by the Queen Mother was Cao Yan, the third son of Cao Guogong.
In all fairness, Cao Yan has a certain ability in terms of ability. His wife died young and left behind a daughter who is only a few years old.
Ordinarily, this is nothing. The choice of a consort depends on the other person's character and ability. Emperor Renzong did not connect the princess's marriage with the interests of the country like other monarchs.
He just wants his only sister to be happy now.
But Cao Yan is too scheming. If such a person becomes the consort, will my sister be happy?
Besides, Cao Guogong thought he had hidden himself well, but Emperor Renzong still found out that Cao Guogong had contact with the Li family. He was treading two boats!
Empress Dowager Li wanted Cao Yan to take hold of Princess Pingyang so that one day she could use this to contain Emperor Renzong.
The late emperor had several princesses, but Pingyang was the sister of Emperor Renzong. How could Emperor Renzong not be cautious?
In the end, the Queen Mother's plan did not go as planned.
Princess Pingyang also knows a thing or two about the court affairs. Can she rest assured about the person Empress Dowager Li chooses for her?
She herself refused.
Empress Dowager Li was a little unhappy. She said that the eldest princess Pingyang had married someone before, and she was so picky. She really regarded herself as a treasure, and so on.
The eldest princess Pingyang was not the one who suffered the loss. She rushed directly into Queen Mother Li's Renshou Palace and had a fierce dispute with the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Li was so out of breath that she suffered a stroke.
Of course, there are many ladies. The young ladies envy Princess Pingyang. Although she has left the Southern Kingdom, she still lives a wanton and comfortable life.
So Liu Anan is really interested in this eldest princess.
When Liu Anan and his party arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, many carriages from various mansions were already parked at the door.
The maid in the eldest princess's mansion led them into the mansion.
Liu Anan came in and took a look, oh, this eldest princess's mansion is really grand, with pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water. The grandeur of the entire mansion is not that of luxury and wealth, but of dignity and grandeur everywhere.
The maid took them to the main venue of the flower viewing party, the Qinxiang Garden of the Princess's Mansion.
There are already many ladies and ladies here.
People who were acquainted gathered together to chat and enjoy the flowers. There were also refreshments in the Qinxiang Garden for everyone to taste at will.
Led by Mrs. Xu, the other ladies in the family were talking together. Liu Huanyan and Liu Anan were also waiting quietly aside.
Because Princess Pingyang hasn't arrived yet, everyone can't go too far.
At this time, several more ladies came in from outside the garden, led by a tall lady.
"This is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Huainan, the Crown Princess Feng Miaomiao, the eldest daughter of the Feng family in Jiangnan."
Mrs. Xu whispered.
Because Grandma Jin and Liu Anan mentioned the matter of the eldest princess a few days ago, Grandma Jin also talked to Liu Anan about some of the aristocratic families in Daqi.
When Liu Anan saw Feng Miaomiao, the concubine of the Marquis of Huainan today, he couldn't help but take a look.
Feng Miaomiao came from the Feng family, a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, so she naturally had the same temperament. After Liu Anan glanced at him, he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Feng Miaomiao naturally saw Mrs. Xu, but she did not come over to say hello.
Since the old Duke Liu Cheng had been at loggerheads with the Marquis of Huainan, there was no contact between the two families.
Soon, Princess Pingyang arrived.
When Liu Anan saw the legendary eldest princess, she couldn't help but praise her.
She truly deserves to be the eldest princess of Da Qi. Her style, style, and innate nobility are not just for boasting.
Although the eldest princess is already in her early thirties, time has not left any trace on her face.
On the contrary, the calmness, calmness, nobility and elegance are all reflected in the eldest princess.
Everyone said hello to the eldest princess in unison.
Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "No need to be polite. I invite you to enjoy the flowers in Qinxiang Garden today. You can do whatever you want. You little girls, go and play too."
The eldest princess ordered one of her maids and ordered: "Agarwood, take good care of the ladies in each mansion."
Agarwood responded.
Liu Huanyan took her sister to visit the garden, and Gao Yingying and several ladies also came over.
"I've met the Lord of Anle County."
Gao Yingying and the other girls naturally bowed when they saw Liu Anan.
Liu Anan had an encounter with Gao Yingying before. She liked this straightforward girl and said quickly: "Miss Gao, ladies, there is no need to be polite."
Gao Yingying really admires the Anle County Lord. He has not yet grown hair, but he can do better than ordinary men.
"Mr. Anle County, you are really amazing. You are truly a woman. My father said that if I have one-third of your ability, he will laugh out loud in his dreams."
Several little girls on the side were also amused by the cheerful Gao Yingying and covered their mouths in joy.
Liu Anan also smiled, "Thank you, Miss Gao. Everyone's growth environment is different. I may have to work harder than others, plus a bit of luck."
Gao Yingying waved her hands vigorously.
"County Lord, you can't do this just by luck. You have to put in a hundred times of hard work and effort to achieve today's achievements. Really, I really admire you, County Lord, what is Guanbian like? How can you work with me?" Shall we talk?”
These little girls have grown up in wealthy families. They have never experienced any hardship, and of course they have never traveled far.
Not to mention the border.
For them, the word border is just a distant, even desolate place.
Seeing the enthusiasm and sincerity in the eyes of these little girls, Liu Anan would naturally grant their little wish.
So a few little girls sat together, and Liu Anan told them about the border trip.
These little girls listened carefully. When Liu Anan talked about the appearance of the injured soldiers, the little girls turned pale with fear.
Let’s talk about Liu Yue.
The eldest princess Pingyang did not leave, and these ladies could not leave either, so they sat together and talked to the eldest princess.
Princess Pingyang saw the two ladies sitting next to Mrs. Rongguo. She had no impression of her, so she asked: "Mrs. Rongguo, these two ladies are a bit unfamiliar to me. Who are they?"
"Returning to the eldest princess, this lady is the wife of Xue Zhiyang, the young minister of Honglu Temple, and this is my sister Ruyue."
Mrs. Xu quickly replied.
Cheng Yi and Liu Yue also stood up to greet the eldest princess again.
Princess Pingyang naturally knew about the Liu family, but she didn't have much interaction with Liu Yue many years ago.
She also sympathizes with Liu Yue. She also treats people unkindly and has a family that is tolerant and loving to her.
Princess Pingyang looked at Liu Yue and her voice became gentler.
"Mrs. Liu's hard work has finally come to an end. There are still many days to come. Lord Anle is a good child. Your good days are ahead!"
Liu Yue also smiled and replied: "What the eldest princess said is that civilian women are very contented when they have children by their side."
Princess Pingyang spoke to the ladies for a while and then left.
She was here, with all the ladies accompanying her, and she couldn't enjoy the flowers. On the contrary, she would be reserved, so the eldest princess let everyone move around as they pleased.
Seeing Princess Pingyang leaving, the ladies breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the eldest princess Pingyang is not arrogant, she is a member of the royal family after all, and she is the most beloved sister of the Holy Emperor. They must be extremely careful about what they say.
I'm afraid that if I say the wrong thing, I'll bring trouble to my family.
Therefore, after Princess Pingyang left, the ladies felt much more relaxed.
At this time, the voices of several people came from one side. Although the tone was not loud, it was enough for the ladies around them to hear clearly.
"If you ask me, people must be self-aware. They say a good horse never turns back, especially women. You said you spent so many years with another man and had a child, and now you come back and want to get back together. What if it were me? , I have no shame."
The person who spoke was none other than Feng Miaomiao from the Huainan Marquis Mansion.
A lady also agreed: "That's right, this woman is really thick-skinned."
None of the ladies present were stupid, and they all knew who Feng Miaomiao was talking about.
Mrs. Xu's face darkened, but Liu Yue didn't care.
She knew that many people in Beijing were staring at Rong Jue!
There must be many people using the topic to criticize her. If she cares, why not be angry to death?
