The two cousins were talking when Shen Zangning, Su Yufei, and Su Yuyin suddenly came together and said with a smile: "Cousin, I haven't seen you everywhere. It turns out you came here to look for my third sister-in-law."
The three sisters were all young and pretty, but they all wore heavy make-up and all kinds of popular make-up, and they looked gaudy and scary. It's just that the elders can't do anything to them, let alone the sisters.
The two hurriedly stood up to greet them. Shen Zangning said: "Min Yinuo is asking Princess Linchuan for words. Let's go and join in the fun?"
Wei Changying heard Princess Qingxin mention it just now and knew that Princess Linchuan's handwriting should be good and she often received praise from the queen for it. However, it may not be true that Min Yino chose this moment to ask the princess for handwriting. Most of the time he took a fancy to Princess Linchuan's calligraphy, as Shen Zangning said, it was just for fun and to make the princess happy.
Su Yuli said hello, but Wei Changying looked at the back of Concubine Deng in front of him. Shen Zangning felt relieved and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is afraid that Concubine Deng is looking for you? Let me go and ask for you."
Before Wei Changying could stop her, Shen Zangning had already jumped up to Concubine Deng, saluted with a smile, and started chirping with Concubine Deng. Because of the noise in the palace at the moment, Wei Changying did not hear clearly what she said to the imperial concubine. Soon, the palace attendant who had previously served the imperial concubine came back with Shen Zangning and said: "The imperial concubine asked the young lady not to be restrained. The queen has her own maids to serve her."
Wei Changying hurriedly thanked her, and when the palace man left, Shen Zangning clapped his hands and said, "Okay? Let's go. They have already gone to Qianqiu Pavilion first. They are late, but they have already finished writing the other words. .”
Wei Changying asked in surprise: "Why aren't you in the palace?"
"Third Cousin, it's so noisy here, how can I calm down and write?" Su Yufei said with a crisp smile.
Wei Changying thought the same thing... He followed them out of the palace by the corner. Shen Zangning and others were familiar with Weiyang Palace. They walked around three twists and turns and walked on a path covered with flowers and trees, leaving behind the noise of Changle's main hall. Behind him.
Shen Zangning and the others led the way first, while Su Yuli and Wei Changying walked behind. They only heard the three people in front whispering: "Princess Anji really didn't come here today."
"It's said that Mrs. Zhenyi is ill."
"That's weird. Mrs. Zhenyi is sick every three days. Why does she have to have Princess Anji accompany her? She must have deliberately not come."
"Hey, did Princess Anji quarrel with Princess Linchuan again?"
"I heard that Princess Linchuan's favorite Fang Mo was carelessly touched by Princess Anji..."
"It's really pitiful. How many things have been thrown to Princess Linchuan this year alone? Eight if not ten? Princess Linchuan likes all of them."
"Isn't it true? I also heard that Princess Linchuan..."
Su Yuli heard that they were getting bolder and bolder, so she hurriedly stopped them and said, "Don't talk nonsense about the affairs of the Tian Family!"
"There's no one on the road." Su Yuyin stuck out her tongue, but still listened to her cousin and said nothing.
Wei Changying was curious and asked Su Yuli quietly: "Isn't Princess Anji not allowed to be favored? Why...why does she always drop Princess Linchuan's things?"
Su Yuli said in a low voice: "No matter how unfavored she is, she will always be the best. Your Highness has such a strong temperament that Princess Linchuan doesn't dare to push her too hard, so she can only bear with anything she throws at her."
Wei Changying was a little speechless and said: "I heard that the Holy One loves Princess Linchuan very much." Looking at Princess Lingxian's obscurity in the palace today, how could I imagine that Princess Anji should be equally lonely and unhappy, cautious in her words and actions in the palace? To survive in difficult times? Why does it sound like this His Highness is so fierce that he even dares to torment the favored Princess Linchuan
Su Yuli looked like she didn't know how to describe Princess Anji. She thought for a moment and then said, "You will know when you see Princess Anji in the future."
He also warned, "Your Highness loves to hold grudges, and must not offend her - Princess Linchuan accidentally offended her once, and she has been punished in bits and pieces for more than a year. Although the Queen has also punished Princess Anji, she still has nothing to do with it." After all, she is of the blood of the Holy Emperor. Princess Anji is not afraid of punishment from the empress, and there is nothing she can do about it. "
Wei Changying thought that Princess Linchuan and Queen Gu were not of the same mind, and thought that Queen Gu might not be able to punish Princess Anji. She was probably deliberately trying to keep the princess in trouble with Linchuan! Maybe Princess Anji is not favored by the Holy Emperor, but she is so bold. It is because of the Queen's connivance.
Think about it, there are only three unmarried princesses in the royal family, so it is so lively. There are 17 princes and 20 princesses under the Holy Emperor. I don’t know how lively this palace was before... The high-ranking concubines such as the Queen of Wei Dao and the Noble Concubine are all compared to each other. One's thoughts are unpredictable, among these many golden branches and jade leaves, how can a simpler one hold the place
While talking, we arrived at Qianqiu Pavilion. This Qianqiu Pavilion is by the lake, surrounded by water on three sides. There is only a winding path leading in from the scattered flowers and trees. It is said to be a pavilion, but in fact it only has one floor, because it is built on a rockery by the lake. The rockery is not high, just three or five stone steps to climb up. The mountain is piled with soil, and two magnolia trees are planted, one on the left and one on the right. It is very energetic.
Now that the door of the pavilion is wide open, the clear voices of young girls can be heard from time to time. They are wearing fragrant clothes and have a very lively look.
When Wei Changying took a look, Princess Linchuan, who was surrounded by four or five girls in brocade robes, was holding a purple hair and facing a girl next to her who was wearing a magenta jacket and a tooth-colored embroidered peony myrobalan on her collar. He pointed with his white fingers, as if he was discussing how to write.
Liu Ruoyu and Liu Ruoye were nearby, as well as some people from Zhibentang. Wei Changwan and Wei Changjuan were also among the crowd surrounding Princess Linchuan, but Wei Changying did not recognize the rest.
Shen Zangning walked over to greet a girl. The girl had very long eyebrows that went straight to her temples. She had lacquer-like eyes, a delicate nose and cherry lips. Her skin was like frozen white jade, and she was translucent and noble. She combed her hair. She wears a double bun, a lotus-colored dark embroidered pomegranate flower and leaf collared short jacket, and a twelve-break chest-length jacket; the skirt is tied into a happy knot on the chest, and a pomegranate red palace ribbon hangs on both sides. Wearing an emerald jade pendant to hold down the soft Yue Luo Ru skirt to prevent it from being blown up by the wind.
She was holding a silk fan with a round waist in her hand, but the fan didn't look like the usual pictures of ladies' hairpins. Instead, it was embroidered with ink bamboo and mountain stones. It was plain and tight, and there was no sachet or purse hanging under the fan handle. Things and people also have a calm expression, with an air of being unfazed by favor or disgrace.
Wei Changying heard Shen Zangning whispering to the girl: "Sister Huo, what words will Princess Linchuan write this time?"
The girl called Sister Huo smiled indifferently and said: "Min Yinuo said that he made a painting a few days ago based on the description in "Spring Grass Lake Ode" written by his predecessors, so he wanted to ask Princess Linchuan to paint "Spring Grass Lake Ode" "Lake Fu" is inscribed.
Su Yufei answered: "Hey, isn't the rice paper in front of His Highness white?"
"Your Highness said that there are a few words in "Chuncao Lake Ode" that are very unfamiliar and I have never written them often, so I want to practice them a few times before writing them." Sister Huo said, looking behind her and being accompanied by Su Yuli The guard chief Ying was about to ask when he saw someone walking over not far away, nodded towards her and said: "Sister Fourteen, I have something to ask the third young lady of the Shen family, you can greet her later. "
When Wei Changying saw it, she saw that it was Huo, the eldest young lady of Zhiben Hall. She immediately understood what Huo wanted to say to her. She sighed slightly and said, "I also have something to say to my sister-in-law."
The two of them each confessed to their companions, and then walked outside Qianqiu Pavilion. In a corner on the rockery, Huo frowned and said in a deep voice: "There is no one here, and I won't talk about the situation. My sister-in-law Zhizhi I have bruises on my face, can Madam Third give me an explanation?"
Wei Changying was already prepared. Hearing this, he was surprised and said: "What are the blue marks?"
Huo said displeased: "Why are you acting like this, Mrs. Third? My sister-in-law was fine before, but you dragged her from the place where she got off the car to the Weiyang Palace, and she got a bruise on her wrist. She herself said it was you. Yes, why do you dare to be the third young lady, but you don’t dare to be?”
"Sister-in-law Huo's words are so unreasonable." Wei Changying also frowned and said unhappily, "Sister-in-law Huo also said that I pulled sister Lingzi all the way to Weiyang Palace. This If I accidentally pinched her, sister-in-law Lingyue was walking in front of her, wouldn't sister Lingzi say something? "Did you hear sister Lingzi cry out in pain along the way?"
"Zhong Lingzi once exclaimed, but you just ignored her!" Huo said angrily.
Wei Changying said: "Ha, this is so funny. I told you the reason at the time. It turns out that Sister-in-law Huo now thinks it was perfunctory? Why didn't she think so at the time? Why didn't she pull Sister Lingzi's hand? Take a look at my sleeves? Is your sister-in-law definitely planning to accuse me?"
Huo said in a deep voice: "My sister-in-law has already told me everything. You..."
"Sister Lingzi is not here now. Sister-in-law Huo, you don't believe me. I don't believe in Sister-in-law Huo yet!" Wei Changying sneered, "The elders on both sides have seen it today. It was sister Lingzi who took the initiative to talk to me. How do I know if my sister-in-law is jealous of sister Lingzi's closeness to me and is deliberately trying to find a place for sister Lingzi to do the instigation? Of course, the Huo family is also a well-known family in the imperial capital, but I am. The dignified daughter of the Wei family in Fengzhou, Sister-in-law Huo has doubts about my demeanor as the goddaughter of the Wei family. You, the Huo family, are just from a noble family, why should I trust you, sister-in-law?"
Huo said angrily: "It was just a small matter originally. Although my sister-in-law was a little injured, I just want you to admit your mistake and go over to apologize to her! Why are you so unreasonable? Just a few words I didn’t mention it, but the family status of the two families was involved? Isn’t it possible to use family status to suppress others? My husband’s family and my sister-in-law are not Fengzhou guards!”
Wei Zhangying said: "Look, my sister Lingzi and I are both girls from the Wei family in Fengzhou. It is natural for us to be close. Sister-in-law, what does it mean that you are in the middle? My sister-in-law keeps saying that I have offended Lingzi. My sister, but I don’t see my sister coming over to argue with me. How can I convince myself that my sister-in-law is alone?”
Huo was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She thought for a moment, bit her lip and said, "I originally wanted to give you a chance to settle this matter in private without disturbing the elders. Since you are so shameless, don't blame me for not talking about family ties. Face... I'll tell my aunt right now and let her talk to your mother-in-law!"
"If Sister-in-law Huo doesn't go and tell the elders, I will go too." Wei Changying was even more dissatisfied than she was. He sneered, "I know our grandmothers have old grudges, but those are all matters between the elders. Now I marry When I become the wife of the Shen family, it is said that the grudges between my mother's family have nothing to do with me. I was surprised that my sister Lingzi took the initiative to get close to me today. It turned out that it was a ploy to slander me. How could you possibly want to slander me? So easy? I don’t believe my mother-in-law would help an outsider!” (To be continued)
