After Meng Liyi and Meng Liti made a plan, Meng Liti personally helped her cousin dress up as if nothing had happened. Then Fang took their maids and walked out with their heads held high.
After a while, they suddenly saw Meng Guihan sneaking behind the flower tree and looking around.
"Seventh brother, what am I doing?" Meng Liyi and Meng Liti glanced at each other, both a little confused, and asked in a low voice.
"Huh?" Meng Guihan was so engrossed in peeping that he was startled when he heard this. He turned around to see his two cousins clearly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't mean to tell them, so he frowned and said, "It's nothing." … How did we end up there?”
"Seventh brother, what am I asking them about?" Although Meng Lifei had discussed the revenge plan with her cousin at that time, her mood was not fully restored. Originally, the first, second, and third bedrooms of Meng's family were wrongly occupied by the fourth bedroom. There was a sense of superiority. Although the children were in order, seeing that Meng Guihan's attitude was not very warm at this moment, her tone was also different, "I am not there myself? Please don't Yuanji Seeing how sneaky I was, they were afraid that I would do something stupid and embarrass our entire Meng family, so they didn’t bother to come find me!”
As for Meng Guihan and the two cousins, they had not met many times and there was no relationship between them. Hearing the words at this moment, he refused to give in and said coldly: "Please do we really care about Meng's face? We shouldn't have bothered to follow them just now." Princess Deping's arrogance has put Princess Wuyang's palace in a difficult situation, and a beautiful flower-viewing banquet has turned into a crowd of people watching us!"
After saying that, I didn’t bother to talk to them anymore and walked away!
"You rebelled against him!" Meng Lifeng stomped her feet angrily, "How dare you shut up with us like that?!"
"Sixth brother has been working tirelessly to please my aunt and the eldest brother in the past few years. It is said that one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. Doesn't seventh brother also have the confidence?!" Meng Liti's face was not very good-looking. As the concubine of the second and third wives, their The biological mother was not as "promising" as the eldest aunt Jiao Yu, so they spent their confinement in their respective homes looking at the expressions of their aunt and half-siblings.
It's rare to have a fourth brother. Although the four siblings are not direct children, their status is lower than them, which can help them find a balance. At that time, Meng Guihan was humiliated by their disgrace like that.
After all, Meng Liti was more scheming than her cousin. After saying some angry words, she calmly said in a low voice, "Didn't he look over there just now? Let's go away first and send the guests away. Go over and take a look, what is he looking at? If you see something you shouldn't see, haha... Although we are brothers and sisters with him, we can't watch him do all the dirty things!"
Meng Liyi understood and said: "I didn't expect that we would have a cousin like that! It's good that he doesn't live in our room."
The place was not far from the wisteria garden shed, and he had already returned to Xi Zai without saying a few words.
At this moment, in the open space in the middle, a group of dancers were dancing gracefully. Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, most of the seats around were empty. Guests in twos and threes were whispering, but few of them really paid attention to the singing and dancing.
Princess Wuyang, who was simply in charge, was always there. The circle of people around her was now only Huan Ye. Both of them were good at enlivening the atmosphere and mediating the situation. Although at that time, Just chatting casually, I said something to him, but I said it all with a smile and affection, without showing any signs of being deserted.
"Are we sisters back?" Seeing Meng Liyi and Meng Liti return, Princess Wuyang and Huan Yehe nodded to them and joked, "He was talking to Jingshu just now, why did it take so long for us to go there? No one is seen?"
Huan Yehe responded cooperatively: "He told Dian Dong that with our sisters' outstanding appearance and elegant temperament, without Dian Dong's presence, I don't know how many young talents flocked to him! Even if we just say hello one by one, How could Keke come back so quickly?"
"How's it going? Then we can ask him to help us palm our eyes and see whose son is more suitable?" Although it was in the east of the flower shelf in April, it was inevitable to feel a little hot after walking for a long time. Princess Wuyang's After a while, I took a round waist fan with a red background and embroidered with Begonia Chunsui in my lap. I fanned it slowly and asked with a smile.
The look and expression she looked over looked like that of a kind and amiable elder, but Meng Lili and Meng Liti were clearly in love, which once again suggested that she did not want Meng Lili to be her daughter-in-law.
"Did the County Lord guess wrong?" Meng Lifedong pinched her palms consciously, suppressing the surging grievance and unwillingness with pain, and smiled, "Did he just walk around to see what was happening in Chang'an City that season? There are spring flowers that you can’t see at all!”
Meng Liti answered with a smile: "Did he leave just now? The county leader probably didn't notice? It didn't take long for him to leave."
"I wonder if young talents are flocking to them like ducks, so their sisters can't afford it." Meng Lifeng continued, "Well, they just saw one. Is it true that when people see each other, the flowers bloom after the trees? !”
Originally, she thought that after saying that, no matter whether Princess Wuyang refused or Huan Ye asked Yidong, she would be able to take advantage of the situation.
Who knew that both of those two were pretty good people? When they heard the tone, although they didn't expect Sheng Weiqiao's head to be there, they also knew that they probably saw that one of the girls who came to the banquet was being courted and were unhappy, so they came here specifically to gossip.
Huan Yehe pursed his lips and smiled silently, while the eldest princess Wuyang said with a smile: "There are so many flowers blooming in his mansion tomorrow, is it possible that they are all blooming by one person? It's very difficult." How about us beauties who are just the right age? We say that people in the world are as cruel as trees and flowers are blooming, so why aren’t we ourselves such lovable guests?"
"I beg you, do you really like him that much? Why don't you want him to be with my son?!" Meng Lifei's plan was thwarted at the beginning, and she was so angry that she almost couldn't help but ask directly!
It's good that Meng Liti saw that this was a good thing and quickly said something to make up for it: "Speaking of which, they should congratulate the master of the palace. Did they see the Lord of Kangzhao County and Shengxu walking together? The two of them were affectionate and affectionate!"
Princess Wuyang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "No? He doesn't know much about the young man's affairs. Since the Lord of Kangzhao County, Bu Nao, has been agreed upon by his mother and queen, it can be seen that he must be a handsome and wise man. She is a beautiful lady. If Shengxu can win her heart, he will naturally be happy to see it happen!"
The one with a warm attitude looked like he wanted to propose marriage to Mr. Sheng tomorrow.
Although Meng Lili was angry and had tears welling up in her eyes, Meng Liti also felt very unhappy: Even if I am unwilling to accept his cousin as my daughter-in-law due to seniority and political stance, as for being wronged to such an extent, If he deliberately stabbed his cousin in the heart, why not stab him in front of County Lord Jingshu? !
She sneered in her heart and said: "Why should the master of the palace worry about Shengxu? Shengxu has an outstanding appearance and has the title of Marquis of Yichun. He has always been the golden son-in-law that many ladies in Chang'an City are chasing after. Then where is the Lord of Kangzhao County? Do you dislike Shengxu?"
At that point, she suddenly changed the topic and said with a half-smile, "Speaking of which, they just saw the Lord of Kangzhao County and Shengxu together, and also saw Prince Ningwei and Xinke Chuanlu Xu Baomo. Did he? Seeing that County Princess Kangzhao left the table for a long time without returning, he went to look for someone. It turned out that he happened to bump into County Lord Kangzhao and Shengxu, and the two sides had a conversation, but they almost had a conflict! It’s also very good, Princess Deping Also, how much older is she? She is much calmer than his twelve sisters. She can be said to be easy to say, but it is hard to show off to everyone. Prince Xu comes calmly... Although the Lord of Kangzhao County is not willing to give the Princess face, Bu Nao is very good. Shengxu chased after them impatiently, wanting to see how they were begging for peace before, and Shengxu coaxed them nicely. The Lord of Kangzhao County should give Shengxu some face?"
Those words were very vicious: they not only suggested that Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo were not in good terms, but also led to a conflict between Li Shengxu and Xu Baomo.
He also reminded Princess Wuyang from the side that Sheng Weiqiao was very good at keeping Li Shengxu in check, and when they met, she was caught by the old ruthless man who was trying to do both things at the same time. He actually allowed Li Shengxu to chase her and coax her... Standing still. From the perspective of the people involved, it’s ridiculous to say that a hero is sad about a beauty.
Can you stand from the perspective of Li Shengxu's biological mother, Princess Wuyang? It's unbearable that her darling still managed to pull her eldest son alone, but then turned around and acted like a little girl in a movie. !
Sure enough, the eldest princess Wuyang frowned when she heard this. The eldest princess Buluo was deep in the palace, and she knew that Meng Lili was coveting her son. Meng Liti had a deep love for her cousins, so it was not known whether those words were true or not.
So after squinting for a while, he smiled calmly: "That kid Shengxu! How reckless! Although Kang Zhao's former brother Sheng Suihe had been taken back to the palace by Gaomi Wang Xintu and Wang's sister-in-law. , I can’t accompany the girls of the Sheng family to the banquet tomorrow, but the Sheng and Xu families are family friends. The elders look at each other wrongly, and the younger members of the Fang family look at each other as if they were their own nephews. We have sympathy for our brothers and sisters... It was only the second time that Shengxu Ming'er met Kang Zhao, and he actually made love to her. Prince Xu's brother saw this, so why don't you question him?"
"After all, regardless of whether Prince Xu is Kang Zhao or not, he just came to Chang'an at the end of last year. He is not familiar with Shengxu at all. How can Prince Xu let Kang Zhao, who he treats as his own sister, get too close to Shengxu whom he doesn't understand? ?”
Princess Wuyang looked kind and said very understandingly, "Did Shengxu do a good job in that matter? Thanks to us for telling him! Don't worry, when the children come back later, he will definitely ask Shengxu to give it to Xu." The prince apologizes and admits his mistake!"
Huan Yehe smiled and said: "Dong Dong, he thought of what he had heard before: when Sister Shengbi came out of the palace, although the Marquis was still young, he still knew how to hug Sister Shengbi's skirt. She refused to let him go, and was crying as Han Xuan refused to allow sister Shengbi's husband to take his sister away! It turned out that things were better at that time, and things turned around, and it was the Marquis's turn to be made things difficult for Kang Zhao's brother!"
The saint she was talking about was Li Shengbi, one of the daughters of Princess Wuyang. Although the princess gave birth to three girls and one boy, she spent the most energy on her youngest son, but she did not ignore the daughters. The reason why all three daughters were married off and not far away was because they did not want them and their husbands to be involved in the intrigues of the high-level officials of the country.
That Li Shengbi married into a wealthy family in Lingnan. Since she left the court, mother and daughter have not seen each other for more than ten years. They rely on family letters during festivals and some objects made by their own legs to comfort each other's longing. .
At this moment, when Huan Yehe mentioned it, the eldest princess Wuyang recalled that when she sent her daughter out of the palace, the mother and daughter cried goodbye. Li Shengxu, who was still ignorant, thought that Sister Liudong could comfort the eldest princess. The little child dragged Li Shengbi. I was crying all the way from the outer room to the door. I was so angry that I didn't forget to expel my brother-in-law...
The eldest princess' eyes, which were originally full of smiles, gradually became wet. She took the dough for a while, then gathered her emotions and continued to smile: "If there is such a thing, he has forgotten it. I didn't expect that I would listen." On the contrary, I always remember...that boy, he wanted to use a broom to chase his brother-in-law away! Ru Ming can be regarded as getting retribution for being in the lap of Prince Xu!"
