Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Eldest Princess of Wuyang
"It's okay, the dishes for the morning banquet are coming soon, and the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt are coming back soon." Wen Qingzhu reminded.
Wen Qingmei seemed to think of something, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Why hasn't Xiao Xing come back yet?" β
As he was talking, Xiao Xing walked over with the green pottery.
"Miss, the slave is back." When Xiao Xing heard this, she hurriedly spoke.
Wen Qingmei smiled apologetically at Wen Qingzhu, hurriedly got up and walked and pulled Xiao Xing to the side.
"Wen Qinglan's affairs, have you done everything?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Qingmei was stunned, why is this sentence a little familiar?
Xiao Xing replied in a low voice: "It's almost." Rest assured, no accident is no problem. β
Under the flower tree on the other side.
Green Tao knelt down beside Wen Qingzhu and said in a low voice: "The slave maid found that Xiao Xing had a laxative on her body, and Peony came over later and said that Miss Twelve should have given a laxative to Miss Four." β
"Why did Wen Qingmei suddenly target Wen Qinglan?" Wen Qingzhu was a little puzzled.
Lu Tao continued: "Just now, the slave maid exchanged the news of Young Master Wan for another news, Xiao Xing overheard it from the eldest lady, and the side concubine of the Xia family will come over today. β
"Why did she come here?" Wen Qingzhu's heart became more and more strange.
After a while, the fourth lady came back with Wen Qingxin with a disgraced face.
The moment he saw Wen Qingzhu, Yang suddenly became overjoyed.
"Little Seven!" She walked quickly to Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu got up and responded, "Fourth aunt." β
"Why are you still sitting here?" Yang was a little strange.
Wen Qingzhu asked in surprise, "Then where should I sit?" β
Yang pointed around and said, "Didn't you notice that there are a lot fewer ladies and ladies around?" β
Wen Qingzhu looked at the past, and his heart moved: "The eldest princess has appeared?" β
"Hmm." Yang nodded, and then looked at Wen Qingzhu, "Aren't you with the county lord?" How can you sit here alone? β
"When I came back, I was separated from the county lord." Wen Qingzhu replied with a light smile.
Why does Yang have something to say?
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was so calm, the Yang family finally couldn't hold it back, and said anxiously: "Don't you really know the intention of the eldest prince to host this banquet?" β
"What intentions?" Wen Qingzhu reacted in his heart, did he want to show the county lord?
The Yang family was completely defeated, and directly singled out: "The eldest prince mainly chooses a fiancΓ© for the county lord, the Qinyuan here is full of daughters, and the other deer park has invited a lot of young masters from the noble family, and the ladies and ladies here are all trying their best to go to the deer park to have a look, and even the sister-in-law has gone!" β
Wen Qingzhu suddenly understood that the Wan family could go because there was the crown prince and concubine of the Xia family there.
"Xiao Qi, don't you want to find a way to go over and have a look?" Yang was a little anxious.
If you can bring your own core to show your face, what if you are taken by a noble son!
Wen Qingzhu shook his head and said: "Xiao Qi is still young, not to mention that Xiao Qi's marriage is decided by his father, and he is too ignorant of the rules in the past." β
"Okay." Yang was utterly disappointed.
Wen Qingxin comforted the Yang family: "Mother, the seventh sister said that she is still young, and I am younger than the seventh sister, so there is no need to worry." β
"You know what!" Yang suddenly became a little irritable, and his tone was heavier.
The Wen family's family is not high, not to mention that Wen Jihua is still just a businessman.
If she really wants to say goodbye in the future, she is afraid that her core will suffer a lot of losses.
If I could show up today, I might have a chance!
Wen Qingzhu could understand Yang's mood, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Now that Wen Guanbin has taken the path of hard work and promotion, the Wen family will only fall faster in the future.
Xin Chang's contamination with witchcraft, once it is revealed, it will definitely end up being beheaded.
Although Xin Chang does not have any relatives.
However, what Wen Qingzhu cared about was that Xin Chang in his previous life did fall, but Wu Shan got out smoothly.
Until Wen Qinglan became Jiang Yuancheng's side concubine, Wu Shan seemed to have been nowhere to be seen.
Is he alive or dead?
"Miss Wen." A respectful voice came from behind him.
Wen Qingxin and Wen Qingmei looked back at the same time, but Wen Qingzhu didn't care, still lowered his eyes and pondered.
"Miss Wen Qi." The voice rang out again in front of him.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and looked at the maid in front of him in surprise.
She wears the same standard clothes as Qinghu, her appearance is beautiful at the same time, and her etiquette is also proper.
"Girl?" Wen Qingzhu actually already had a guess in his heart.
The maid in front of her introduced herself: "The slave maid is the Red Lake next to the county lord, and she came over to specially invite Miss Wen Qi to go over to the deer park." β
"Will I come over?" Wen Qingzhu frowned, how could the county lord of Pingshu invite her over?
Honghu nodded: "Yes, the county lord also said that all the young ladies of the Wen family should come over." β
"Besides, this is Fourth Lady Wen, right?" Honghu turned his head to look at Yang and asked.
Yang was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, I am Mrs. Wen, this is my daughter Wen Qingxin, the eleventh lady of the Wen family." β
"Miss Wen Eleven." Red Lake greeted politely.
Wen Qingxin smiled and nodded: "Sister Honghu is polite." β
Honghu smiled, looked back at Wen Qingzhu again, raised his hand sideways, and pointed in the direction of the deer park: "Miss Wen Qi, please come here." β
Since it was the invitation of the county lord, Wen Qingzhu had to go, so he could only follow her.
There is a distance from Qinyuan to Luyuan, Wen Qingzhu took the opportunity to ask: "May I ask Sister Honghu, is there something about the county lord inviting me over?" β
Honghu said with a smile: "The county lord's close friend is only Miss Lei, and now there is a competition being held in the deer park, and there are three people, but now there is one person, and the county lord wants to ask you to go over and help." β
"I heard that Princess Yijia in the palace is also there, why didn't the county lord ask the princess for help?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange, the county lord chose a son-in-law, why did he still have to compete?
Honghu thought of the county lord's instructions, and said euphemistically: "That's the case, the county lord doesn't want to choose a son-in-law casually, he wants a husband who is both civil and military, but the county lord is more good at martial arts, and now there is a lack of a good writer, Princess Yijia is naturally good at writing, but this is the county lord's choice of son-in-law, and it is not good for the princess to be condescending." β
Wen Qingzhu finally understood, this Pingshu County Lord didn't trust Princess Yijia at all.
But in this way, Wen Qingzhu was also relieved.
As long as the county lord of Pingshu has nothing to do with Concubine Li's family, he can help her with confidence.
After a quarter of an hour they finally arrived at a fenced platform.
When I walked in, no one had noticed them.
But when Honghu directly took them to the vacant seat next to the county lord and sat down.
Brush, brush, countless pairs of eyes have looked over.
Wen Qingzhu was already very calm in the face of this scene, and he didn't feel anything in his heart.
But Yang's mother and daughter and Wen Qingmei were both attending this kind of occasion for the first time.
They tried to calm down, but they couldn't.
On the main seat in the middle, the county lord of Pingshu walked over.
"Miss Wen, meet my mother first."
"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu worked hard to adjust his posture.
A few scrutinizing glances from above the main seat shot over in an instant.
Wen Qingzhu followed behind Ping Shu and walked over step by step.
The pace is steady, and the skirt corners do not move.
The hands are folded above the lower abdomen, the back is straight, the head is slightly bowed, and the eyes do not squint.
It is the most standard ceremonial posture of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Walking to the middle of the curtain, Ping Shu introduced her: "This is the mother, the eldest princess of Wuyang, on the left is the prince's side concubine, Concubine Xia's mother, and on the right is the emperor's cousin, Princess Yijia." β
After hearing this, Wen Qingzhu stood in the middle, raised the hem of his skirt and knelt down, kowtowed in a proper manner: "Meet the eldest princess, Concubine Xia, Princess Yijia." β
"Okay, get up." The eldest princess of Wuyang, who was sitting on the main seat, raised her hand, and her tone was very satisfied.
After getting up, Wen Qingzhu saw the appearance of Jiang Wuyang in front of him.
Although she is over thirty, she is well maintained, her skin is fair and smooth, and she can't see a single wrinkle.
The county lord of Pingshu is seven points similar to her, with a nose and cherry lips.
It's just that the eldest princess's eyebrows and eyes are more gentle and delicate, and she looks very kind.
Concubine Xia next to her has a bright appearance, a pair of peach blossom eyes are sparkling, and she is extremely outstanding.
was secretly looking at Wen Qingzhu.
Princess Yijia on the other side is very similar to Concubine Li Guifei, at a glance, like the most delicate peony flower, which makes people can't take their eyes off.
She was also looking at Wen Qingzhu, but she was more unscrupulous.
The eldest princess of Wuyang asked with a smile: "Yesterday, Pingshu temporarily wanted to give an invitation to the Wen family, and the palace was still thinking, which Wen family it is!" It turned out to be the home of Lord Wen of the Ministry of Industry, and the Wen family was the home of poetry and etiquette. β
When Wen Qingzhu heard that the eldest princess was giving her a long face, she immediately replied modestly: "The eldest princess is overrated, the real family of poetry, books and etiquette, where can it compare to the royal people, the Wen family just follows the rules of the royal family." β
"Yo, you little girl, you really talk." Concubine Xia covered her lips and smiled.
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and replied softly, "Thank you Concubine Xia for your praise." β
This kind of thing is like sycophancy, she can handle even the extremely difficult concubine.
The eldest princess of Wuyang is naturally not a problem.
It's a pity that there are always people who try their best to stir up trouble.
Princess Yijia, who was silent, finally couldn't stand it, and sneered at the corners of her mouth: "What kind of poetry, books and etiquette family, a small Wen family, I have never heard of it." β
Wen Qingzhu didn't reply, just lowered his head.
After all, this is the home of the Liang family, the eldest princess.
The most important thing is that the one who is now in charge of the phoenix seal in the harem is the mother concubine of the eldest princess of Wuyang, Concubine Cheng.
According to reason, the queen is dead, and the phoenix seal should be handed over to the next queen.
Or hand it over to the emperor's trusted concubines, but the current Jiang Yue doesn't trust Li Guifei.
I'd rather hand over the phoenix seal to Concubine Cheng, who lives in the harem, than to give it to Concubine Li Guifei.
It is precisely because of this that the identity of the eldest princess of Wuyang has risen with the tide.
Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, even if the Liang family did not post, the noble families in the capital tried their best to come here.
Wen Guanbin's official position was too low, and he was not eligible to participate.
But Pingshu sent the post, and the eldest princess of Wuyang was willing to give face.
Naturally, others will not underestimate Wen Qingzhu.
But Princess Yijia, who is used to being arrogant and domineering, doesn't care about this, what if she scolds you when she is in a bad mood.
But she forgot that today is the day when the lord of Pingshu County chooses a son-in-law.
When the eldest princess of Wuyang heard her words, the smile on her face faded.
She said calmly: "Yes, what is the little Wen family, just like twenty years ago, the little Li family was nothing." β
Li Guifei's father, Li Taishi, was just a small six-grade official back then.
It's just that later the woman entered the Yue Wang's Mansion as a side concubine, and she made a fortune little by little.
Later, Jiang Yue unexpectedly became the emperor, Li Guifei was an old person in Qiandi, and gave birth to a prince and a princess, and her status rose like this.
At that time, Jiang Yue urgently needed to win people's hearts, and Taishi Li took this opportunity to go all the way to the position of Taishi.
Princess Yijia didn't know what the eldest princess meant, and her face immediately turned dark.
It's just that this is not the palace, and Jiang Wuyang is still her imperial aunt.
She couldn't help it, so she immediately stood up, threw up her sleeves and left.
The people around him were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.
When Jiang Yijia left, the eldest princess regained her gentle smile: "Since Miss Wen is here, the game can start." β
"Wait!" A familiar voice suddenly came from the audience.
