Ruyi talked and laughed with Xiao Mei, Cheng Yueru and the others for a while, and when she turned her head, she saw that Chu Yu was talking to a beautiful girl she had never seen before, and she seemed to be very compatible.

"Whose girl is that? The noodles are very raw. ”

Cheng Yueru glanced at it, snorted and laughed, and said in a low voice: "Although you haven't seen that one, you must have heard of it." ”

Seeing Ruyi Qing Lingling's eyes looking at herself to solve her doubts, Cheng Yueru became more and more proud, and leaned beside Ruyi, "That, but it's a famous flowering girl." ”

Although the voice was low, there were several girls gathered around Ruyi, and one of them couldn't hold it anymore and almost squirted out the tea in his mouth. Fortunately, he quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, Rao was like this, his body was also stained with water, he only glared at Cheng Yueru, and said angrily: "Really, what the hell!" ”

Xiao Mei couldn't help but laugh, and asked the maid to take the girl to change her clothes, so she put her arms around Ruyi's shoulders, raised her eyebrows and said: "People have a good life, they have been pampered in the boudoir all these years, and they have never come out to see people." I didn't expect to see it today. “

Ruyi knew which girl this was.

Born in the Marquis of Yongcheng, the niece of Concubine Li.

Speaking of which, the first two generations of Yongcheng Marquis were very capable people, and the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was once prominent in Beijing, but in recent years, the descendants have been mediocre and have declined.

Since Concubine Li entered the palace and won the holy favor, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion has gradually returned to everyone's sight. It's funny to say, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion has since opened its mind, not to mention urging the children and grandchildren to take the opportunity to recover, but relying on the girls to walk out of a golden avenue.

The girl who talked to Chu Yu was the granddaughter of the current Yongcheng Hou, who was similar in age to Xiao Mei, and her name was Ling Chaohua. I heard that when she was born, it was a spring day, and as soon as she was born, the sky was bright and flowers bloomed outside. I also heard that there are monks who have attained the Tao and have given them a number of lives, saying that they are people with great blessings.

These words spread so loudly back then, and there were few people in the capital who didn't know about them.

No one is a fool, it's just a dilapidated Hou Mansion, and when a favorite concubine comes out, it's worth the blessings of heaven?

To put it mildly, give someone a talking point about their own girl. To put it bigger, you have to ask where is the intention?

Concubine Li was only Concubine Li at the time, but it was the time when she was favored, and within three years of entering the palace, she gave birth to the second princess and the fourth prince one after another, and her heart was extremely high. At the family banquet of the Dragon Boat Festival, she told the rumor to the emperor and queen stupidly, and Queen Xue has always been calm and dignified, and she just smiled when she heard such words. The emperor was slightly drunk at the time, and he didn't hear clearly, so he condescended to ask again, "The girl in the concubine's family can bloom?" ”

"Blossom Girl" Ling Chaohua has been the champion of the capital since then.

This slap of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is much more low-key. However, I don't know if it was a master who gave the idea, this Ling girl was raised by Hou Fuju with all her might.

"She has been raised in the Hou Mansion all these years and has never shown her face." Xiao Mei rested his chin on Ruyi's shoulder, and when he saw Ling Chaohua looking over, he smiled at her. "However, she came out once or twice last year, but you weren't there. I've heard people say......"

She smiled mysteriously, "In the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, it has long been spread, this girl, sooner or later, she will be a princess." ”

The princess?

Ruyi was dumbfounded. The crown prince and the second prince born by Empress Xue already have concubines. Among the remaining princes of appropriate age, the third prince was born by the late Yun Zhaorong, who has always been small and transparent, and the fourth prince was born by Concubine Li, and both mother and son are in the limelight.

Could it be that the Ling family wants to be close to Concubine Li?

Even if it were, it was still a no-brainer. Even if Concubine Li is willing, she can't intervene in the prince's family affairs. Yongcheng Houfu is fighting for the reputation of his own girl?

I couldn't help but bow to tears of sympathy for the girl of the Ling family.

Ling Chaohua sensed her gaze, raised his watery eyes and looked at it, only slightly met Ruyi's gaze, and then turned away. Inexplicably, with a little coldness.

However, a little girl in a goose yellow dress next to her, who was only eleven or twelve, was also born with bright eyes and bright teeth, and nodded and smiled at Ruyi.

"That's Ling Chaohua's sister, named Shuanghua." Xiao Mei beckoned to Ling Shuanghua, Ling Shuanghua's eyes lit up, and she ran over with her skirt and exclaimed sweetly, "Cousin! ”

Xiao Mei took her hand and smiled at Ruyi, "Shuanghua's mother is my cousin. ”

The interpersonal relationship in the capital has always been like this, the high-ranking families are married to each other, intertwined, and around, which family is related to which family.

Ruyi saw that Ling Shuanghua was well-behaved, so she pinched her face, only to feel that the tentacles were smooth and delicate, and sighed, "Sure enough, it's a little girl's family!" ”

When the daughters around saw that she was clearly wearing a childish little face and pretending to be old-fashioned, they couldn't help laughing.

"Third sister!"

Ling Chaohua suddenly walked over with Chu Yu, and called Ling Shuanghua with a calm face, "I see that the begonias and pear blossoms on the slope over there are blooming well, follow me over there to have a look." ”

Ling Shuanghua was holding her face blankly and wanted to be coquettish with Xiao Mei Ruyi, where could she be willing to leave?

He only hugged Ling Chaohua's arm and begged with a smile: "Big sister, is it okay to have the sister of the Chu family accompany you?" I want to play with my cousin for a while. ”

"Sister Ling, let's go by ourselves." Chu Yu smiled and said, "It's rare to see which sister my sister-in-law likes." ”

That's what makes it interesting.

Although all of you are young girls, who doesn't have a bad deal? What Chu Yu said was really not smart.

As a wishful sister-in-law, even if she really makes things difficult for her sister-in-law everywhere in the Guogong Mansion, she has to show her sister-in-law harmony when she comes out. When she opened her mouth, she implied that Ruyi snubbed her sister-in-law, who couldn't hear it?

Xiao Mei raised his eyebrows, and his hand touched his waist. It's a pity that he touched the air and rubbed his nose wryly.

"What my sister said is that Sister Ling doesn't have to worry about Sister Shuanghua." Ruyi ignored Chu Yu's provocation, anyway, every word and deed she said and did here, someone would sue Old Madam Shen. When the time comes, someone will teach her a lesson.

Ling Chaohua glared at Ling Shuanghua and said coldly, "Grandmother asked you to follow me well." ”

pulled Chu Yu out of the water pavilion.

Ling Shuanghua obviously didn't expect her cousin to show her face in front of so many people, and her pretty face instantly turned red. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled apologetically at the daughters and hurriedly followed.

"Who is this?" There are daughters who are dissatisfied, "It's a good joke, they are novel." ”

Where Ling Chaohua's hostility came from, of course Ruyi knew. Because of a fight with her, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess was beaten by the emperor and lost face, and until now, she is still nesting in the princess's mansion and dare not come out to meet people.

is both a cousin and a future sister-in-law, of course Ling Chaohua will be dissatisfied with himself, which is reasonable.

It's just that such a temperament is really cultivated by the power of the house?

didn't bother to pay attention to the Ling family, Ruyi and many of his girlfriends laughed and made a mess.

On the old lady's birthday, it is said that the lord of Jofu will also come. It's just that Ruyi waited until the end of the birthday banquet, and he didn't see his mother's figure. It's just that I heard later that the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion came from the eldest brother.

Ruyi knows her mother very well, and she likes this kind of lively occasion the most. Besides, I knew that I would come to celebrate my birthday, so there was no reason why I couldn't come!

Is it sick? Or is the old lady in the Hou Mansion in trouble again?

Ruyi couldn't help but panic.

Still behind, when the guests were about to get into the carriage, Su Yunqing came over. After greeting Mrs. Shen, she smiled and whispered to Ruyi.

Ruyi suddenly had an expression of being struck by lightning.

Mother, old mussel with pearls!
