Ke Chaoruo is among the nobles of the imperial capital, and he belongs to the kind that is both conspicuous and inconspicuous.

The inconspicuous thing is that after being a military general, and after being a military general who has been guarding the frontier for many years, she only returned to the imperial capital with her family last year.

It's a bit like when Gu Zhen was a teenager.

Even if you put on the most gorgeous clothes and the most precious jewelry, and suddenly learn the manners and rules of the ladies of the imperial capital, you still feel uncomfortable being restrained in your bones.

Because of this, it is incompatible with his peers from a very different growth environment.

Yun Fenghuang noticed that this Miss Ke had been staring at the Jinxi County Lord beside her since she sat down.

Jin Xi picked up the toothchopper and vegetables, and she also quickly picked up the teething and vegetables; Jin Xi took a shallow sip of the gold bottle, and she quickly lifted the gold bottle and took a big sip...... Then he suddenly reacted, looked left and right with a weak heart, and cautiously took a small sip again.

Seeing that the county lord of Jinxi had already taken a fruit to play with, she ...... She looked at the fruit bowl in front of her, and quickly picked up a similar fruit, looking dazed......

Obviously, for girls who grew up in the frontier, it is rare to do this kind of leisurely and leisurely behavior.

Several times she wanted to stuff the fruit in her mouth, but because Jinxi whispered and laughed with the second princess on the side, Ke Chaoruo held back stiffly and maintained a somewhat stiff smile, looking forward to the next step of the county lord of Jinxi.

…… And the county lord of Jinxi didn't notice her at all.

After all, Ke Chaoruo is not a familiar face among the nobles of Dijing.

Although she returned to Dijing last year, it was absolutely impossible for the Ke family to let her lose face in public as soon as she returned...... The correction is to go to the public as soon as he comes back to expose the free-range breeding of the family's daughters over the years.

After a surprise training, she has participated in only a handful of palace banquets so far.

Although it can be seen from the seat that the background is not bad, but because of the high seat, there are noblewomen from prominent backgrounds around her, and they are not worse than her.

On this occasion, no one wants to leave the impression of "tending to be inflammatory" to the girls who are secretly observing, and they are reserved.

Not to mention that the county lord of Jinxi is purely here to join in the fun, her marriage has been decided, even if it is not decided, there is no need to show favor to Ke Chaoruo, but she talked and laughed with several princesses, very cheerful.

So looking down from Zezhi's upstairs at this moment, Ke Chaoruo was extremely lonely and embarrassed.

The conspicuous thing is, of course, that she is a girl from the Ke family.

Since the death of Marquis Longping, Ke Chung quickly replaced Gu Fangshu and became the first new military general of the Chunjia Dynasty.

The Ke family's background is actually inferior to the Gu family.

But the rut ahead is just ahead, and Ke Chung naturally has to learn a lesson. He was originally an extremely cautious person, and long before Gu Fangshu died, he once killed his relatives and defiled himself to protect himself...... These operations show that Ke Chung is more cautious than Gu Fangshu.

Therefore, in the past few years, although Ke's children have been paid more and more attention, Ke Chung has not only not been spoiled, but has become more and more cautious in his words and deeds.

Including but

It is not limited to rectifying the style of the door from time to time, restricting the contact between the family and the nobles, especially the palace eunuchs, etc......

Therefore, in the past two years, the emperor's capital, a new generation of children of the right age have grown up, each of them has become famous, and the Ke family, as the upstart of the dynasty, has been nameless.

But it was Ke Chung who finally climbed to today's status, but he was afraid that he would be in the struggle for the country, and after several generations of hard work, the bamboo basket would be empty overnight, and all the previous efforts would be buried.

However, as the most trusted military general by Chunjia at present, with military power in his hands, no matter how much he wants to stay out of the matter, how can he not be looked down upon?

Whether it is Yun Fenghuan, the queen, and other concubines with ideas, they all regard Ke Chaoruo as their primary target.

Although judging from Ke Ding's example back then, Ke Chung may not be a person who cares about his heirs of flesh and blood.

Even if they hired Ke Chaoruo as their daughter-in-law, Ning Guogong would not necessarily enter the chime and shed his blood for their heirs to seek the position of the prince...... But they are not good at stubble, and if they can't marry Ke Chaoruo, they will naturally think of tying Ke Chao to their side and coercing him to contribute.

All in all, Ke Chaoruo was the number one competitive target for this feast.

In other words, the competition about her is also the prelude to the battle for the prince.

Those who have no intention of competing for the East Palace, as well as those who have self-knowledge and do not expect, will avoid her with interest.

"By the way, it is said that there are three talented women in Dijing, but I only said two just now, what about the third one?" The concubines skipped Ke Chaoruo, and they were about to pay attention to the male guest, when Jing Jieyu suddenly asked in a low voice, "Didn't you come?" ”

Jing Jieyu entered the palace late and has not given birth so far.

The people in her palace gave birth to a royal daughter for her, and Chunjia landed at the end of the seventeenth year, ranking twelfth.

This princess is only four years old this year, and of course it is far from the time to recruit a horse.

Jing Jieyu will be here, one is that she is young, she can't help but be curious, and wants to come over to see the excitement; The second is that she has been in the palace for several years without children, even though the twelve princesses are not her own children, but they also regard them as their own, and they are very loved, and they are worried that they are from a humble background, so that they are not thoughtful when choosing a horse for the princess in the future, and they came to steal the teacher in advance.

"It's coming, it's coming, but it's a distant girl." Concubine De has a clear goal today, in addition to continuing to hug the concubine's thighs, she is to show her eyesight and choose a good husband for her third princess.

Therefore, at this time, his eyes were already fixed on the more outstanding children of the male guest.

Seeing that Jiang Ming from his side asked lightly, he smiled and said, "Look at the girl wearing a light blue shirt and combing a hibiscus hairpin with a cloud bun on the back seat over there?" That is, Wei Shilang's niece, whose name seems to be Xiyan. ”

The Wei Shilang she said was the rare six Wei Changkong.

When Chunjia was first used, he was responsible for teaching the emperor's heir, and in the first two years, Chunjia was about the same as the investigation, thinking that it was okay, so he was transferred to the court.

Now he is a waiter for the Ministry of Rites.

Wei Changkong

Wei, who was born, was originally prosperous in literary style, although there were no high-ranking officials and eunuchs in this dynasty, but he was endless.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to teach him these six songs.

At this time, there is a talented woman in the clan, but it is logical.

It's just that the people who know that Cui Nanye and Wei Shuhan have a good background, can't help but look subtle, thinking about whether this Miss Wei family is also a similar "talented girl"?

Although Webster's literary name is very good, there are many children and uneven qualifications, maybe the girl who was pushed out is also an embroidered pillow, but the acting is more similar?

Jiang Ming stared at Na Wei Xiyan for a moment, a little disappointed, and commented: "It's a beautiful embryo." ”

That's it, I didn't see any other highlights...... The manners are all decent, not brilliant, and you can't see the bearing that a talented woman should have.

"It's still polite now." Concubine De said with a smile, "When the wine is over the third round, you can watch it then." ”

Inviting these people over today is not specifically to entertain them for drinking and having fun, but there must be an assessment.

Thinking of the topics that he and others came up with, the corners of Wei Hengyan's mouth twitched slightly, and an inexplicable sympathy arose: Fortunately, there were not so many flowers in the palace when he was a teenager...... Well, she entered the palace as a concubine, not to compete for the prince's concubine...... In short, if she was in the current situation at that time, she felt that there would be no more Concubine Wei De in this palace.

After settling down, Concubine De saw that no one was talking about Wei Xiyan anymore, so she brought the topic to the male guest: "Speaking of these high-ranking nobles today, Gu Xiaogongzi is the most energetic, and the material of the robe is familiar, is it a tribute in early spring?" With such a bright color, the young people of their age are dressed upright and outstanding. The concubine didn't keep a foot for herself, and she made a dress for Qi'er. I don't know who to learn from, I actually fell in love with Su Dan in the past two years, and I wore colors such as cyanosis and purple begonia, and I haven't touched it once, and I see that I will be smaller next year, and I am really angry with the concubine...... At this time, looking at the way Gu Xiaogongzi is dressing, the concubine must ask this child at night, do you regret it? ”

is the same as commenting on the girls before, and this time is also a tacit understanding: there are people in the palace, and they are mentioned from high to low according to the position of the palace chief; If there is no one in the palace, they are arranged according to their family background.

The queen once again stood up for the younger generation: "What you said is really exalting him, the material and color are very good, but the child is just like that." Before going out, I must have carefully picked it up, and it is not too dirty to everyone's eyes at this time, and when it comes to standing out, it is still Cui's Wei who will teach children. ”

After a pause, he said, "Xie Fu forgot that his bearing is becoming more and more outstanding, and the charm looks like that of a horse back then." ”

Gu Zhen was actually quite tired when he said this.

Because there are really no outstanding nephews in this class...... Although he is honest, obedient, sensible and hard-working, he is limited to qualifications, and in the end he is a big part of the lintel.

After all, other high-ranking nobles are not not working hard.

"The Queen's Mother

praised falsely, the nephew of the concubine is also an unassailable. The concubines, the concubines, and the concubines all humbled themselves on behalf of the juniors, and the concubines also sighed in their hearts.

The lintel of the Xie family is cold, and the most outstanding male heir so far is Xie Wuzheng.

Therefore, according to the unspoken rules, praising male juniors is said to have the demeanor of Xie Wuzheng.

In fact, Xie Fuwu is very different from Xie Wuzheng regardless of his appearance and temperament...... If this nephew is like Xie Wuzheng, she doesn't have to worry about it.

Because there are fewer princesses in the palace than princes, and it is necessary to look for horses at this time, it is Zhaoqing, the second princess and the third princess.

The four princesses below are eleven years old this year, but they are not in a hurry.

Moreover, this princess because she was infected with smallpox when she was a child and did not raise it well, her face fell marks, the more she grew up, the more inferior she became, and she never liked to see people, and her heir Jia Yuye had been in the palace for many years and had nothing to do, and she was very spoiled, but she did not dare to mention marriage rashly at this time, so as not to touch her daughter's sore spot.

In other words, the only people who have a need for a son-in-law at the moment are Yun Fenghuang and Concubine De.

They have already screened and screened the nobles of the upper and lower levels of the imperial capital, and now they are just looking at it in person.

So he chatted and discussed the children roughly, and if there are elders in the palace, they must be praised a few words.

There are no elders, just like the female guest just now, and the discussion is more straightforward:

Although his appearance was good, his eyes were frivolous, and although he didn't dare to pay attention to Princess Zhaoqing openly, he didn't take the time to peek at the beautiful palace maids who were waiting around, which showed that his temperament was inappropriate. Who's the kid of this? Don't care who it is, such a person will never marry with golden branches and jade leaves. ”

"Niangniang, please look at the young man in the scarlet robe over there, but he is full of energy!"

"It's good, but this boy and girl look good, I'm afraid that I am more delicate than a girl when I change into women's clothes, and this palace is really depressed." Concubine De pursed the corners of her lips and said, "Forget it." ”

Her three princesses are honest to the point of being almost weak, and if the concubine is also a delicate one, although there is no need to worry about him bullying the three princesses in private in the future, but the problem is that the three princesses have suffered a loss outside, and this concubine is also a wreck, and they can't protect the three princesses, so ...... What's the point of her picking such a colt?

"What about the green-robed one? It looks very heroic. ”

"His appearance is masculine, but if you look closely at his demeanor, he seems to be a little drunk." This time, it was Yun Fenghuang who shook his head, "Although we didn't show up today, we only asked Zhaoqing to preside over it, so that they could be more casual and not too restrained...... But, before they come, can the family not tell them what is going on? This hasn't started seriously yet, so I'm greedy for a cup here. Either he is a disproportionate, or he has no intention of marrying a royal family at all. Now the princess in the palace is waiting for the princess, from Zhaoqing to Ruyi'er to Qi'er, who is not a good child with both gold and jade? What is he who dares to take this Joe? ”

Needless to say, this one must be crossed out.

The concubine and the concubine are the main ones, and the concubines help to advise, even more

Even Gu Zhen couldn't help but intervene, it was to recommend to the third princess a Tanhualang who was similar to Chunjia's eight-year champion Wang Linglai, although he was vaguely regarded by Concubine De, he was also very interested.

They were discussing vigorously here, and when they saw Zhaoqing put down the wine cup, looked around, and said loudly: "Thank you for not giving up, come to this literary meeting hosted by this palace......

After being polite as the host, the princess naturally said that since it is a literary meeting, of course, it must be worthy of the name and meet friends with literature, so she plans to play a few small games to help the wine.

Everyone knows in their hearts, and the so-called mini-games are the key.

Can you stand out and make the high-ranking court officials who are secretly observing take a fancy to you, I'm afraid that you will be in these games.

So he agreed, but he was probably also gearing up and looking solemn.

The county lord of Jinxi glanced at the audience and said with a smile: "Please ask Your Highness to ask for a question?" ”

"This palace is only a shallow learner, and there are only a few topics back and forth, but it is not interesting." Princess Zhaoqing shook her head slightly, and said with a light smile, "Therefore, before the banquet today, I specially asked the queen mother and the concubines to help with a few questions......

While speaking, a palace maid in colorful clothes walked up to her with an ebony lacquer plate, and everyone looked over, and saw that there were four brocade bags on the lacquer plate in turn, the size was similar, but the colors were different.

The princess took one, and said with a smile while dismantling it: "This is the topic that Concubine De helped to come up with, and let the palace see what it is?" ”
