During the banquet, all the Yingying and Yanyans gathered together, and the atmosphere was very relaxed because the Crown Princess had not arrived yet.
Whether it was intentional or not, although the female relatives invited by the Crown Princess this time were all from the families of officials above the fourth rank, most of them were young ladies who had not yet left the government or were young ladies.
The interactions between noble ladies in the capital are also based on family rank, and they have their own circles.
At this moment, everyone is gathering in twos and threes, and the most popular girl is none other than the Anping County Princess.
She was named the head of the county at a young age, her father was the Right Chancellor, and her mother and the Crown Princess were from the same clan. After all, she had to call the Crown Princess her cousin.
The person sitting next to the Anping County Lord at this moment is Shi Cuiwei. She is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and has a third rank. She and the Anping County Lord are naturally familiar with each other.
When Shi Cuiwei arrived, she looked depressed and aggrieved, which naturally attracted people's attention. When others asked her, she would talk about what she had experienced these days.
She first said that her youngest brother was unfortunately also harmed by demons, and the only male in her family was lost.
Shi's mother was heartbroken and took her to the Shanling Temple to pray. However, the Shanling Temple was trying to gain fame and refused to save her.
The words naturally brought out Qing Wu, insinuating that everything was ordered by Qing Wu, and that she was disgusted with how domineering the people in the palace acted.
Naturally, she didn't dare to say anything about Xiao Chenyan scolding her for having a bad mouth to her face, so she only dared to point the finger at Qingnu.
"My mother has been sick since she came back. I don't know what is in the temple. Everything has been going wrong for me these days."
Strivet was not lying. She was so unlucky these days that she could fall even when walking on flat ground. She fell three times just after entering this road.
The Lord of Anping County frowned and avoided it with some disgust, fearing that Shi Cuiwei would get bad luck.
As for sympathy, it doesn't exist.
Normally, she didn't think much of Strivet, who always came to fawn over her.
I heard that both Shi Cuiwei and her daughter were being made difficult by Qing Wu, their eyes were even more contemptuous, and they also showed it in their words:
"She is the daughter of a criminal, and she dares to be so arrogant. How can you be controlled by her?"
Shi Cuiwei was ashamed and annoyed, and only dared to show grievance on her face: "She is the princess after all."
The Lord of Anping County snorted: "Princess? It's not her turn to make such a mistake. She actually dares to pretend to be a ghost. If this kind of thing happened, you should have come to report it to my cousin. But you still suffer in silence. What a coward. .”
"I am a woman who speaks softly, but the county chief makes the decision for me."
The head of Anping County did not rush to respond.
But the noble lady next to her said: "During this period, Princess Nahan is in the spotlight. I heard that people in the community are very grateful to her. They say they have noses and eyes. They also say that those evil spirits were caught because of her."
"It's nonsense," the Anping County Lord sneered, "They're just a bunch of stupid people. The Izuyun Temple thing is all down to His Royal Highness King Yan and Long Weijun. Do you really believe what she can do?"
The noble ladies around were also very active, so they naturally heard the implication of the Lord of Anping County.
She made no secret of her contempt for Princess Yan, but she was very protective of King Yan in her words.
"Speaking of this matter, I heard a rumor these days." Shi Cuiwei suddenly lowered his voice: "I heard that Princess Yan was not seen with anyone when she was at Izumo Temple. Who do you think this person is?"
The Lord of Anping County frowned: "Don't sell out."
Shi Cuiwei: "Thank you Shaoqing."
There was an uproar around her, and a noble lady said angrily: "Impossible!"
"That's right, how is this possible!"
"That's Young Master Xie. What is Princess Yan's background? How can Young Master Xie like her?"
Xiao Chenyan has not been in Beijing these years, and even in his early years, not many noble ladies have met him, so the noble ladies don't know him well. In addition to his reputation as the God of Killing, most noble ladies keep a distance from him.
But Xie Shu is different. He has the appearance of a relegated immortal and is the young minister of Dali Temple. He has a cold temperament and has attracted the hearts of many noble ladies.
When it comes to what happened to Shi Cuiwei, the other noble ladies can just listen to it, just for fun, and it has nothing to do with them no matter how famous Princess Yan is among the people.
But when it comes to Xie Shu, it's different!
Xie Shu had not been engaged for a day, and they all had the opportunity to banish the immortal. How could they be ruined by such a woman?
While the crowd was furious, someone sneered.
The girls turned around and saw the girl at the opposite table eating melon seeds while looking at them as if they were looking at fools.
The girl's behavior, appearance and even her clothes were incompatible with the entire flower viewing party. The other ladies were all wearing hairpins and skirts, but she was the only one who imitated men's dress, wearing a purple riding suit and a crown with long hair.
Her skin color is not as fair as that of noble ladies in the capital. Her wheat-colored skin actually looks like a man's, and her big sitting posture is even more rude. She actually imitates the ordinary people in the city and clicks there. Coughing melon seeds.
Where are the melon seeds at this table?
A noble lady noticed that there was a bulging cloth bag on her desk, and she actually brought it with her!
The only redeeming feature about her was her eyes, which were bright and black, but the way she looked at people was too unbeatable.
Immediately, a noble lady said displeasedly: "Why are you laughing?"
This girl in purple was unfamiliar, and she didn't have a maid with her. No one present knew who she was.
"Why are you laughing at me?" Huo Hongying spat out the melon seed skin: "Why do you girls from the capital have as white a brain as your face and do whatever others say?"
"They also say that Princess Yan is having an affair with Xie Shu. Do you think that Princess Yan is dead?"
"Who else is there? From Shi Lang's family. You keep saying that the mountain temple refuses to save people even if they die. How come I heard that your family carries coffins up the mountain?"
"Is it because you can't save the dead? You're obviously in the wrong place. You should go to the Palace of the King of Hell and ask the King of Hell to rescue your brother quickly. If you don't save him, it means that the Lord of Hell is incompetent!"
Shi Cuiwei's face turned red and white at the rebuke, and said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of the Anping County Lord."
"Can the county boss be so arrogant?" Huo Hongying stood up, "Then it's okay for me to be arrogant."
"You..." Shi Cuiwei still wanted to speak, but the Anping County Lord said calmly: "Huo Hongying, I know you don't understand the rules at the border all year round. It's just a chat with your daughter's family, so you have to make a fuss about it."
Upon hearing Huo Hongying's name, the faces of the girls changed slightly.
The head of Anping County is the head of the county.
But Huo Hongying is also the head of the county, and her title is still the head of Dingbang County, which was earned through actual military service.
The other party was the commander of the Longwei Army and the sister of General Zhengxi. She commanded a thousand light cavalry and had actually been on the battlefield and had achieved military exploits.
Huo Hongying's black eyes were bright and clear: "You are chatting, and I am chatting too. You talk about yours, and I talk about mine. You are allowed to talk about people behind their backs, but I am not allowed to tell you right and wrong in person?"
"Oh, you girls from the capital are really good at following rules."
This sentence is all it takes to say to their faces that these ladies are talkative women talking behind their backs. Who can bear this?
The face of the Anping County Lord also became ugly, and he stood up angrily. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a strange female voice, lazy and joking:
"I just heard a croak outside. I also said that this Toad Palace is really worthy of its name. There are enough toads, and they can all gather together to sing a big show."
The girls subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
Beauties come in all shapes and sizes, their charms are natural, and their looks are unattainable, but the banter between their eyebrows is too sharp and eye-catching. From a bird's eye view, it looks like the people present are really a bunch of toads.
The next moment, I saw the beauty showing a look of surprise, looking around, and walking closer in confusion and confusion, "It's weird, why did the toad stop screaming when I came?"
"You!" Strui Wei was the first to speak out, unable to hold back.
The beauty suddenly realized and lightly covered her red lips, looking in the direction of Strui Wei, with a smile that made her angry: "Screamed."
