After hearing this, everyone looked at Huan Yehe and looked at her makeup at the moment:
But I saw that the Jingshu County Lord was wearing a dignified cross bun, with a gold hollow red gold comb in the middle, which symbolizes wealth, longevity, and good luck. On the left and right were a pair of gold-embedded mantis and cicada hairpins; swiping her eyebrows lightly, applying light powder, and clearing the air. Under Ling's beautiful eyes, the bridge of his nose is straight and his lips are like dots.
Her neck, as slender as a swan, is tightly wrapped in an onion-white cross-collar tunic, and is covered with a lilac-purple-bottomed embroidered aphrodisiac and a short jacket with wide sleeves and a cross-collar; a white jade bamboo girdle girds a slender waist that is not too full to hold; and the lower part is blue. The bottom is a pleated skirt embroidered with butterflies and flowers; her feet are not exposed, but she can see a pair of white jade earrings inlaid with precious stones, jade rabbit pounding medicine, and gold earrings swaying silently with her steps.
Although this outfit was indeed carefully thought out and not more casual than usual, in fact the people present at the moment, including the owner, Princess Wuyang, were much more elaborate and solemn than her. However, since everyone wanted to make a fuss, naturally They all echoed: "Xinniang told Wanhua, we also found out! Jingshu, it's rare for you to dress up like this, confess quickly, and put on such a beautiful face, but who is it to charm you?"
"You guys really can't talk!" Luo Wanhua scolded everyone with a smile, "Sister Jingshu is obviously a pretty girl. She should look even better when she is dressed up like this. She is just shy of her beauty!"
"It's all the same. In short, Jingshu, please tell me, who are you here for today? No matter who it is, we make the decision and let him stay with you for the whole day. No one can compete with you!"
The group of people were laughing and joking, and Princess Wuyang, the only elder present, also looked on with a smile, without any intention of smoothing things over, and said: "I'm curious about what you said... Jingshu, you have always been the most generous, want to Why don’t you just tell us?”
"You two are narrow-minded!" After all, Huan Yehe is used to seeing this scene. At this moment, he was not ashamed when he heard the words. He gently pressed the gold-chamber jade rabbit fold silk-embedded jeweled coral pendant collar on his chest that seemed to be a set of earrings. Xu nodded at the foreheads of Fang Xinniang and Luo Wanhua, and said with a smile, "Before you say this, would you like to wipe the powder on your faces first, and then remove a few hairpins and beads on your heads? Otherwise, I have to first Let me ask you, who are you dressing up like this for?"
Turning to Princess Wuyang again, she half-coquettishly and half-complained, "Your Highness, don't you look at the flowers and branches all over the place? Everyone here today is clearly trying to give you face, so they all dressed up carefully and went out. This Now you are pretending not to know and helping them bully me? This really hurts my heart!"
Princess Wuyang smiled and said: "Oh, didn't I not think of this for a moment? Otherwise, after the banquet starts, I will give you three more glasses to apologize to you?"
"You are trying to make matters worse!" Huan Yehe smiled and said, "First you told me that I would punish myself with three cups as an apology for being late. Now you have to give me three more cups...don't I?" Are you going to be forced under the table?"
"It's okay, don't you blame Kang Zhao and the others for not calling you?" Princess Wuyang deliberately brought her favorite daughter-in-law into the topic, and said with a smile, "I will give them a chance to atone for their sins later, let them Sister, let me help you drink it!"
Cao Zhu and other men interjected: "This is exactly the reason. You are all county heads. How can you not help each other?"
Fang Xinniang made a fuss: "If you didn't mention the matter of the county master, I wouldn't even have thought of it! Kang Zhao and you have just been ennobled. For such a happy event, I will have to give you a few toasts later!"
"The Lord of Kangzhao County, the Lord of Fuchang County, and the Lord of Mingying Village." Luo Wanhua counted them with her hands, "Huh? The Lord of Huiyi County is not here today?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't come here." Fang Xinniang said, "How old is Huiyi County Master? We will be too embarrassed to make her drink when she comes, so let Kangzhao County Master and the others drink for her!"
Huan Ye laughed and scolded: "I knew you were not well-intentioned! Sister Kang Zhao, let's talk together and ignore them!"
While they were joking, another guest with special status came to the door, but this one was far less popular than Huan Yehe.
If Princess Wuyang hadn't said something special: "Deping, are you here?"
No one paid any attention to him.
Princess Deping had obviously dressed up carefully today. She wore a snake bun, gold silk beads inlaid with white jade butterflies and flowers on the front, and two silver-dot emerald butterfly ear hairpins inserted diagonally, gilt inlaid. There are bead-worm leaf-head flowers, golden-chamber chrysanthemum double-sided gemstone earrings, flying geese and green diamonds, peach blossom makeup, small arched eyebrows, a carefully painted crescent moon on the forehead, and a bright "dewdrop" on the lips.
Wearing a tooth-colored bottom tunic with blue tassels, gold embroidery with tangled vines and wide sleeves, a white jade gold-coated peacock and peony mid-wide belt for women, and a peach-red piping and indigo bottom embroidered phoenix. Wearing a peony pleated skirt, the gold-coated jade fish is inlaid with jewelry. There is a pendant collar, a red gold beaded nine-turn exquisite bracelet and a dong bead soft bracelet on the wrist, and a jade-embedded gold and exquisite heron and egret ribbon ring is hanging from the skirt.
"The princess is here?" Her gorgeous outfit was in stark contrast to the gray attire of the servant behind her who looked like a little palace maid, and she couldn't help but look lonely.
Because Princess Wuyang opened her mouth to say hello, everyone greeted her one after another out of respect for her status as princess, and more to give Princess Wuyang face, "Princess looks very energetic today."
Princess Deping smiled somewhat reservedly, nodded to them, walked through the crowd to salute Princess Wuyang, and said: "My aunt's complexion is getting better and better. When I came in and looked at her, she seemed to be as old as us."
Princess Wuyang called her up with a smile and said: "At my age, I just apply a few more layers of makeup to get through. You are the real young and bright flowers!"
Without waiting for Princess Deping to answer, he changed the topic and said, "This jade inlaid with gold treasures, exquisite heron and sash ring looks familiar to me. It seems to be a gift from the late emperor to Concubine Mo?"
Princess Deping seemed very happy that Princess Wuyang asked this question. She pursed her lips and smiled, raising her voice slightly and saying, "That's right! I went to pay my respects to my grandmother two days ago. I heard that you were having a flower viewing party here. I went through the box to find it and rewarded it for me."
Sheng Weiqiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this and understood the meaning of her words: The reason why this concubine of the Gaomi King has always been unpopular and has not left the cabinet even after she is over 20 years old is because the Gaomi King's Palace does not care about her. Life or death, she was not even allowed to live in the palace at all. It was only through the mercy of her biological grandmother, Concubine Mo, that she had a place to stay in Xinshou Palace.
But I don’t know why, but Concubine Mo seems to have given up on her in recent years, so that she has the title of princess, but no one cares about life-long matters. She still can’t get married, and she even got to give Chongxin Bo Menggui to Chongxin in order to leave the cabinet. The extent of Yu's drugging.
At this time, she specially brought the jade-embedded gold treasure and heron and egret ribbon ring that Concubine Mo had rewarded to the banquet. It was nothing more than a hint to everyone that the relationship between her and Concubine Mo's grandparents had eased a lot.
At least Concubine Mo approved of her coming to the flower-viewing banquet and even gave her something to add makeup to.
"Eighty percent it's because Sheng Suihe and the Gaomi King and his wife knew each other." Sheng Weiqiao thought to himself, "So, what happened to Concubine Mo and Princess Deping, it seems that they are indeed five years old like Sheng Suihe. Does it have anything to do with living in Tortoiseshell Island that year? Otherwise, Concubine Mo had ignored Princess Deping for many years and could not bear to see her grandson’s 21-year-old daughter’s marriage still unfinished. How can one say she is so soft-hearted? ? It must be the news that Sheng Sleeping Crane has returned safely, which has relieved the resentment in the heart of the concubine."
She had some sympathy for Princess Deping before. Even though she knew that the princess was not a light-hearted person, the situation of being a widow at the age of twenty-one was really embarrassing and miserable.
But when I saw Princess Deping's proud look, I didn't know why, but I felt unhappy again, "Sheng Suihe is doing well now, but has he suffered enough before? This Princess Mo When I heard that he came back safe and sound, I immediately felt sorry for my granddaughter... This kind of forgetfulness is really extraordinary!"
While they were cursing, Huan Yehe suddenly came over and said with a low smile: "I heard that Deping had taken the initiative to get close to you before and wanted to use you to trick your brother?"
"She just asked me about the scenery of Nanfeng County." Sheng Weiqiao felt that although Princess Deping had unilaterally had the idea of Sheng Suihe, since the two were biological siblings, it would not sound good if the news spread, so He said vaguely, "I didn't say a few words. Miss Meng Shiyi happened to come to us, so I didn't say anything more... It's nothing like hooking up!"
"You're still hiding it from me?" Huan Yehe said leisurely, "Miss Meng Shiyi told me about this... I guess Concubine Mo didn't know about it. If she did, she would probably regret it later. I rewarded Deping all around."
Sheng Weiqiao was about to answer when he suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Have you seen Concubine Mo?"
Concubine Mo actually lived with Empress Dowager Meng in Xinshou Palace, which was of course a side palace, but this concubine had not seen outsiders much earlier than Princess Gaomi. Therefore, although Sheng Weiqiao and others went to Xinshou Palace several times, they had never seen her.
"If I had never met Concubine Mo, how could I have doubted Sheng Shuihe's life experience when I first met him?" Huan Yehe slowly rubbed his collar on his chest and said, "You don't seem to like this Deping very much. ? Do you want me to say a few words to Concubine Mo later to vent your anger?"
"That's not necessary. I'm not very familiar with her, so I can't say whether I like her or not." Sheng Weiqiao then remembered that King Gaomi had said before that Sheng Suihe's appearance actually resembled his own grandmother, Mrs. Mo. Concubine, not Princess Gaomi as she had guessed. The sudden visit of Prince Gaomi and his wife that day caught everyone off guard, but she missed this detail.
Hearing this, he said alertly, "Besides, Concubine Mo has not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time, so why bother disturbing her old man so rashly?"
Huan Yehe turned his head to look at her. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Why are you so guarded against me? Can I still sell you?"
"... Come to think of it, you are late today, are you really getting up late?" Sheng Wei Qiao Xin said, you still have the nerve to tell me, the so-called "final secret" you provided last time made me miserable, and I still have troubles that I can't tell you. ! I don't want to believe your "good intentions" or "help" at this moment!
So he coughed dryly, changed the subject and said, "I don't think you are someone who can stay in bed."
"Of course I won't be able to get up properly!" Huan Yehe narrowed his eyes, raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, and yawned lazily. Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "No one has heard yet. A certain little beauty who was newly named the county lord was going to attend the flower viewing party, but he didn’t have time to come, so he had to find me, a hard-working man, and asked me to help keep an eye on the little beauty. Check it carefully?"
Sheng Weiqiao's heart was shaken when she heard that she and Sheng Suihe had an ongoing relationship. Although Old Master Sheng already knew about it, due to Gongsun Xi's focus on breaking up the relationship, Sheng Suihe's close servants and confidants also knew about it. Even the Gongsun siblings knew it, but... Sheng Weiqiao didn't know!
So she thought that she and Sheng Suihe were not brother and sister. Apart from the two of them, only Mrs. Sheng knew about it.
Listening to the meaning of Huan Yehe's words, it seemed as if Sheng Suihe had also told her, how could Sheng Weiqiao not be frightened, angry and ashamed at the same time? !
After all, she is not a sleeping crane. She grew up in a lawless environment, and worldly ethics and morals are all in vain. Although Sheng Weiqiao is not very strict in observing the rules because he is so favored, the concepts he has developed through being exposed to the environment are difficult to change. How can he not feel any negative feelings when he has a mutual affection with his brother, even a brother who is not related by blood? Guilt
His expression suddenly changed at this moment!
Fortunately, Huan Yehe didn't know whether he meant to let her down, or he really didn't think much about it, and said: "I won't tease you anymore, Sheng Suihe, well, let's call him Sheng Suihe for now. He just returned to the palace. The princess wanted to hold him in her arms all day long, so how could she give him the chance to go to the Yongyi Palace in the middle of the night? I got up late because I planned to visit the princess at the Gaomi Palace tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I spent a lot of time and energy researching it. The princess’s preference… ended up staying up late.”
He asked her, "By the way, are you going? If you go, let's go together."
