Seeing that it was Liu Ruoye, the young lady of the Liu family who had only grown hair this year, she laughed at Yan Yan and forced Zhong Xiaoyi's sister Zhong Li to death. Now everyone in the noble family knew about it. The Huo sisters could not help but treat it with caution and greeted politely: "Liu Sister, why did you come to see us?"
Liu Ruoye smiled and glanced at where Wei Zhangying and Su Yuli were, and said, "I didn't dare to come over to disturb Sister-in-law Huo and Sister Qingling, but I just heard from Sister Yuyin of the Su family that before, Sister-in-law Huo and Wei Sister, there seems to be some misunderstanding. I dare to come over and make peace with you two. After all, today is the birthday of Her Royal Highness Princess Linchuan, why bother her for such a trivial matter? "
Huo frowned slightly. Although the Liu family of Donghu was prominent in the Huo family, Huo herself was the wife of the Wei family. Moreover, she was older than Liu Ruoye and was already a mother - Wei Changying was also a wife. The two of them What qualifications does Liu Ruoye, an unmarried young girl, have to make peace with the grievances between them
Besides, Huo was really bothered by her sister-in-law Wei Lingzi, and she didn't really want to help her regain her position. At this moment, his mind changed and he excused himself: "Thank you, Sister Liu. It's just that no one can explain this matter right now. I don't dare to act on my own. I'm planning to go back to the palace to report to my aunt!"
Liu Ruoye smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Huo, please don't misunderstand me. I am still young, so how can I tell my sister-in-law and sister Wei about this peace?" She lowered her voice and said, "Just now, sister-in-law Huo and sister Wei were in Qianqiu Pavilion. It seems that someone from the palace passed by and listened to the conversation. This is what the Queen has just sent to tell me. It is His Highness's birthday today, so if you have any grievances outside the palace, we can talk about it. "
Huo's face changed, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. Miss Huo Qingling, the fourteenth lady of Huo, explained on her behalf: "The eighth sister just listened to my sister-in-law and wanted to fulfill her duty as a sister-in-law, so she invited the three Shen family members. The young lady went outside to ask a few questions, but she was determined not to disturb His Highness's interest by making a scene here."
Liu Ruoye put her index finger to her lips, her eyes rolled, and she said, "I think so too. Sister-in-law Huo has always been virtuous, and she is the most knowledgeable. Although I have only met Sister Wei once, I still think she is a good person. I How could you two deliberately dampen His Highness’s interest? It’s probably because the palace people misunderstood.”
After a pause, he said, "It was also just now that Sister Lingzi cried outside Weiyang Palace and told the palace people to pay attention. Otherwise, the Queen wouldn't have thought too much about it."
Huo scolded Wei Lingzi for being careless, sighed, and said: "It sounds like it's all a misunderstanding, but actually it's like this: The third young lady of the Shen family told Lingzi something on the way, that is, Lord Sikong's daughter, Miss Song, raised a lion cat and ate her beloved parrot... Lingzi was too soft-hearted, and she cried for the parrot when she heard it... "Now she can only follow the guard's advice. Ying's words came.
"So that's what happened." Liu Ruoye nodded with a smile and said, "That's really a misunderstanding."
Then he looked back at Wei Changying, who was also looking this way. Liu Ruoye suggested, "Then why sister-in-law Huo and sister Qingling go over together to talk to sister Wei, so that the queen can also I know there’s nothing wrong with you.”
Huo did not dare to offend the queen, so she hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, Sister Liu, for coming to explain, otherwise..."
"What did Sister-in-law Huo say?" Liu Ruoye waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's my fault to say it. Originally, the person sent by the Queen was telling my tenth sister, but my tenth sister lacked "Yes, I'm here on her behalf. It's because I know my sister-in-law is kind that I dare to say that I'm not qualified to be the person to make peace with you, so I'm relieved that she doesn't care about me!"
She said this innocently. Huo couldn't help but look for Liu Ruoyu in Qianqiu Pavilion, but didn't see it. Although she vaguely heard that Liu Hai's two legitimate daughters were not in harmony because they had different mothers, she guessed that Liu Ruoyu Ye said this with a bit of provocation, but he still felt unhappy in his heart. He secretly thought that if Liu Ruoye hadn't come over to remind him, he would have offended the queen today...
Huo thought this with a hint of emotion on her face, but Huo Qingling looked calm. She fanned her fan a few times and said with a smile, "I didn't say hello to the third young lady of the Shen family just now. I'll be there soon."
Here Liu Ruoye attracted the Huo sisters, and over there Wei Changying was persuaded by Liu Ruoye and took a few steps to greet them. When they got together again, Huo and Wei Changying were very polite. Said: "Sister Wei, this is really a huge misunderstanding! I asked you to say a few words of emotion to Lingzi. That child has such a soft heart. He even cried when a parrot was eaten by a lion cat... You see, everything is spread Went to the queen’s place.”
Wei Changying had reached this level and he would never fail, so he apologized: "It's all my fault for talking about it. I didn't ask about sister Lingzi's temperament in advance, and I told her it as a joke! If I didn't want to, I would just sweep it off." It made her interested in coming to the palace!"
"Where is it? Sister Wei, you have just arrived in the imperial capital. We haven't seen much before. As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty..."
"What my sister-in-law said made me feel even more uncomfortable. I should have asked my sister-in-law a long time ago. It's just my fault that I was confused. I was dragged into talking by sister Lingzi, so I just kept joking..."
So, surrounded by Su Yuli, Huo Qingling and others, the two exchanged polite and unusual greetings. Huo took the initiative to take Wei Changying's hand and went to see Princess Linchuan in front of the case. painting.
Liu Ruoye smiled and said from behind: "Let me just say, Sister-in-law Huo and Sister Wei are both virtuous people. You can't write two characters of "Wei" in one sentence. Look, who said Sister-in-law Huo and Sister Wei are not good? ? Everyone knows that Chang Shangong and Jingcheng Hou Na have a close personal relationship. Last year, Jingcheng Hou became ill and retired, so he was persuaded by Chang Shangong to stay in Fengzhou to recuperate... There is no reason for the younger generation to have a bad relationship with their grandfathers. ?”
The appointment of Marquis Jingcheng to the official position was a big blow to the Zhibentang lineage. Especially Wei Yu, who is called Rui Yutang as Situ... Now that Huo has a grudge against her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she can't help but tighten her hand on the handkerchief.
After all, without the support of Marquis Jingcheng, her husband Wei Lingde's future would be much more difficult than before...
Su Yuli happened to be walking side by side with her, so she agreed with a smile: "Sister Liu is right."
Shen Zangning, Su Yufei, and Su Yuyin like to wear different makeup and like to have fun. Although they are similar in age to Liu Ruoye, they are far less "young, mature, sensible and considerate" than Liu Ruoye. Therefore, they are both the daughters of the elite, but They don't play much together, and because they are young and energetic, they are too lazy to be like Su Yuli. Although they are not familiar with Liu Ruoye, they still give her face to answer questions, and still keep talking to themselves and ignore her.
However, Huo and Wei Changying couldn't help but turn around and thank her after hearing this... Of course Liu Ruoye said his thanks very humbly.
At this time, except for the front area where no one stood for fear of blocking the light, the other three sides of Princess Linchuan's desk were completely surrounded.
Now the people who came to Qianqiu Pavilion were all young ladies or young ladies. They did not dare to push the princess, so the Huo family and Wei Changying walked over. Except for Wei Changying, who was tall and capable, Looking through the head and seeing the profile of Princess Linchuan and the girl wearing a magenta jacket, no one else could see anything.
Shen Zangning and the others were not yet grown up. They stood on tiptoe for a moment and felt too tired, so they said, "Since we can't see anymore, let's go back to the front hall."
Wei Changying estimated that although the three of them were messing around, they didn't know the rules and were familiar with Weiyang Palace. Besides, he had only allowed Huo to watch Princess Linchuan's inscription together, so it would not be appropriate for him to accompany his sister-in-law. He warned: "Speak to my mother for me."
Shen Zangning sighed and ran out with his two cousins.
Wei Changying then retracted his gaze and continued to look into the crowd. He saw that a painting had been spread out on the table in front of Princess Linchuan. It was about three feet long and one foot high. On it, a grassy pond was drawn with extremely delicate brushwork. The scene of lotus flowers and lotus flowers facing each other is in the upper right corner of the painting, and there are some distant mountains. Although it is obscured by people and cannot be seen completely, you can still see the bright colors and prosperity in the painting.
Princess Linchuan rolled up her sleeves with gold jumps, revealing a large section of her wrist. Holding a purple hair in her hand, she dipped the inkstone in the inkstone held by the girl with a magenta coat. After thinking for a moment, she began to draw In the middle blank space, write four words with a dragon-snake pen: Spring Grass Lake Ode.
These four words are written in one breath, with a silver hook and an iron hook, and a smooth expression.
Even when Wei Changying was far away, he felt that everyone was coaxing and coaxing the princess into writing, and it was not all flattery. Princess Linchuan's calligraphy was really excellent.
She thought so in her heart, and everyone around her already applauded when Princess Linchuan finished writing the last stroke of the word "Fu"!
The girl with the magenta lining holding the inkstone smiled sweetly and said: "We haven't seen you for a few days, and your highness has improved again in writing the word 'spring'!" She didn't mention the other three words, but Princess Linchuan's eyes lit up. He paused his pen and said with a smile: "After all, Yinuo, you are the most familiar with my handwriting. Indeed, in the past few days, the character 'spring' has been included in the calligraphy I have been practicing. And because I recalled the flower that opened in the Imperial Garden this year, The magnificent scene of hundreds of peonies suddenly made me realize that this word is now the one I am most proud of. But you are going to ask for this "Spring Grass Lake Ode" today. If you don't read the word "spring" in this poem, you will not be able to read it. "Master, I don't like writing such long poems!"
Princess Linchuan asked for "Ode to Spring Grass Lake" and called her by her maiden name. This girl was obviously Min Yinuo. This is most likely because Miss Min, who was offended by Nian Shengchun, is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her appearance is very ordinary. Although her skin is fair, her facial features are not outstanding. In terms of beauty, she is only about the same as Princess Linchuan. . However, he has a scholarly air, and his romantic charm is naturally revealed in his behavior and speech. Although he was flattering the princess, he didn't appear to be pretentious at all. Instead, he felt like a confidant of the princess and seemed very generous.
After listening to the princess's words, Min Yinnuo said with a smile: "Your Highness's words are really witty. Your Highness usually practices calligraphy. Are you afraid of writing too many words?"
Princess Linchuan dipped in ink again and continued to write the main text of the poem. She said, "That's different. Today is my birthday. I don't want to be tired!"
"That's my fault." Min Yino said with a sweet smile, but put the inkstone on the table in his hand, picked up the ink, and started grinding it slowly.
After the princess finished writing a line, she raised her head and scolded her: "That's nice! I'm afraid I'll leave this painting alone for you! She said one thing and did another, but she hurriedly started to grind the ink, just to let me continue. What I meant by writing it down... is that you still say that you are not, so how do you feel that you are not? "
Min Yinnuo smiled leisurely and said: "I've already been there, and now His Highness is inscribing, how can I not finish the ink grinding?"
"No matter what you say, you are right. The older you get, the more lazy you become!" Princess Linchuan spat. Even so, everyone saw the familiarity between Min Yino and Princess Linchuan. . Just like ordinary close friends or siblings, there is no discernible difference between the monarch and his ministers.
I heard someone in the crowd laughing and saying, "Sister Min loves to play tricks with His Highness the most."
Wei Changying recognized that the voice was that of Wei Changjuan, and saw Min Yinnuo turning his head, looking at Wei Changjuan with a smile and annoyance, and said: "You are tearing me down like this, don't regret it!"
Wei Changjuan was wearing an apricot red short jacket and a green and white skirt today, which was tied up to her armpits. The soft wind blew in and fluttered, making her look particularly petite and exquisite. She tilted her head and smiled innocently: "What do I regret?"
"You'll know in a minute." Min Yinuo waved her hand. After Princess Linchuan finished writing, she stepped forward to dry the ink carefully and put it away carefully. Wei Changjuan then asked: "Sister Min hasn't said anything yet. What do I regret?"
Min Yinnuo patted the scroll in his palm and sighed: "Originally, someone's birthday will be next month, and I was thinking of giving him a special gift, but it turns out that person doesn't seem to want this gift..."
Then Wei Changjuan jumped up and said, "Oh! Give it to me!"
… It turned out to be prepared for Wei Changjuan. (To be continued)
