Some people sympathize with this and some gloat about it.
Those who sympathized naturally felt that Rong Qingzui was of such a background, and now he was seriously injured. As a blood relative, the Gaomi Palace ignored him, and as a foreigner, the Zhao Palace issued an eviction order before the New Year. It was really too cold, no? What a loved one should be like.
Those who gloated about the misfortune believed that Rong Qingzui, as the legitimate son of the palace, was unable to live in the palace, so there must be something inside. Calculating the time when he was sent to Zhao's house to be raised, it was about the same time as Rong Suihe "died". Let's look at Princess Gaomi. Doting and pampering his younger son and being indifferent to his second son, who knows what he did in the first place
As for the Zhao family, no one knows how Rong Qingzui started to mess with Zhao Taozhuang and then abandoned her!
If my sisters had encountered such a thing, they would have been kicked out of the house with sticks. The Zhao family could not be more kind if they could endure it until today.
Moreover, who knows if Rong Qingzui, who lives in Shenzhai compound, did something to seek death, so that the Zhao family sent him away without letting him live for years
In any case, Mrs. Qin finally gave Rong Qingzui some property. According to the custom at this time, since the Gaomi Palace is here, the Zhao family should not bear Rong Qingzui’s food, accommodation, etc. If the old lady can do this, she can also What's there to be picky about
Both the Gaomi Palace and the Zhao Palace remained silent, neither explaining nor refuting, as if they didn't know about this matter at all.
The two parties argued with great interest, and in the end they even said everything. They even suspected that Rong Qingzui was not actually King Gaomi's biological flesh and blood.
Sheng Weiqiao took advantage of Rong Suihe's opportunity to personally deliver something to the Sheng Mansion and asked him in a subtle way: "Rong Qingzui was sent out by the Zhao Mansion. Do you know about this?"
"This matter has been spread all over the city, who hasn't heard about it yet?" But Rong Suihe didn't seem to be very interested. He touched her head and said with a smile, "But it's his matter with the Zhao family anyway, and it's the same as ours." It doesn’t matter, who cares!”
Sheng Weiqiao believed that although Rong Suihe was the one who crippled Rong Qingzui, apart from the ruthless attack in Bishui County, Rong Suihe and his brother seemed to have no other interactions, he believed the rumors after hearing the words. "That young prince has been sorry to Miss Zhao Er again and again, which made the Zhao family unhappy in the first place. He probably did something that the Zhao family couldn't bear." He didn't ask any more questions.
But after Rong Suihe left, he stamped his feet and regretted, "I forgot to ask him about Ah Xi again!"
It's no wonder she forgot, after all, the wedding date between the two was set too hastily.
Her dowry was so rich that it was simply unbelievable to ordinary people: even now, the dowry is still being transported from Nanfeng County in an endless stream.
It takes most of the time every day just to be led by Mrs. Feng to check the list. For other embroidery work, I can only start it myself and ask the maid to finish it. In fact, it is perfunctory... Even if she had the skills, she really couldn't do her own embroidery work.
Even so, the usually laid-back girl also felt extremely busy.
Therefore, it is inevitable to lose everything.
Of course, Rong Suihe's side wasn't much better.
Sheng Weiqiao had many elders, and each one was more capable than the last, so everything that fell on her was already very easy.
However, Rong Suihe was busy with both the wedding and his future. When he had time, he had to deal with the Shu sisters. He didn't trust relatives such as Gaomi Wang and his wife, Rong Qingzuo and his wife. Even if he brought the team from Wuyiying to Chang'an, unlike his elders, it was difficult for his subordinates to come forward for many things, so they mostly had to do it by themselves. He really wanted to take care of them. One person can split it into several pieces for use.
So much so that after the two met this time, they never met again.
Time flies by and soon it’s New Year’s Eve.
As usual, a banquet was held in the palace, and all the civil and military officials and their families were invited.
Although Sheng Weiqiao had arrived in Chang'an on New Year's Eve last year, she still had a poor reputation in Chang'an at that time and was not qualified to participate in a banquet of this level.
It was my first time attending this year, so I was a little nervous.
Fortunately, Nan sent a message two days in advance, saying that they would go there together and take care of each other.
"Grandfather, grandmother and aunt, shall we leave?" Although Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Zhan and Xuanyu Feng were rich, they did not have official status or titles, so they could not go to such an occasion. On this day, a group of people dressed up and went to the main hall to talk. When they saw that it was time to leave, Sheng Weiqiao said goodbye to them, "When the palace banquet is over, we will come back to accompany you and stay up late."
Mr. Feng and Mrs. Zhan both smiled and nodded, and told her: "Drink less wine and eat more vegetables at the table."
Xuanyu Feng teased her: "You will probably fall asleep in the carriage when you come back, and you still stay up late!"
"I told you to bully the sweetheart!" But this time she probably forgot that her biological father and mother were also here. Mrs. Zhan doted on her granddaughter. After hearing this, she hit her with a whisk without saying a word, "The sweetheart at least has this What about you?"
"Grandma is better!" Sheng Weiqiao smiled and stuck out her tongue at Xuan Yu Feng before Shi Shiran left.
She had never attended a New Year's Eve banquet before and was very excited before entering the palace.
But when we actually arrived at the banquet, we found that it was just like that: the splendid palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the center of the gorgeously furnished banquet was filled with nobles in brocade robes, jade belts, and green pearls.
The red sandalwood table inlaid with mother-of-pearl and painted with gold is filled with jade bowls and gold plates, containing a variety of delicacies. The fragrance of famous wines and the sweetness of drinks mix together, evaporating the unique atmosphere of the banquet... Looking at the graceful, luxurious and majestic people , but after sitting down and chatting with everyone, I felt that it was similar to an ordinary banquet, at most it was extra luxurious.
Well, the reason why I think so has a lot to do with the fact that most people at the table are talking about her at the moment:
Meng Shuangliao, the female member of the Meng family, was the first to come over to talk to Sheng Weiqiao.
It's just that what she said was not very pleasant. This girl had always presented herself as "innocent" in front of Queen Meng, and this moment was no exception. As soon as she came up, she asked straight away: "Kangzhao County Lord, why do you want to marry?" To your brother? Aren't you the best friend to my fourteenth aunt? If you do this, how will you meet my aunt in the future? "
"I have met the Queen several times, and there is nothing wrong with meeting her." Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her and said lukewarmly, "Besides, Prince Mi Zhen is the legitimate son of King Gaomi, and he is not my brother in the first place. "
Seeing this situation, Meng Shuangliao changed her attitude again and apologized with a smile: "Oh, I always think about it. Don't be angry with me, County Master! I'm just worried that you and my aunt will have trouble. This I just came here to ask! Since there aren’t any, that’s really great.”
Saying this, he walked away quickly without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao's reply.
Next to her, Sheng Weirao asked in a worried voice, "Third sister?"
The grandchildren of the Sheng family still call them according to their rankings when Rong Suihe was alive. This is because Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Lanci are in Chang'an at the moment and cannot return to Nanfeng County to preside over the opening of the ancestral hall to remove Rong Suihe's name. Name, reorder the juniors.
"It's okay." Sheng Weiqiao waved to her cousin, "She just came here to test my attitude. Seeing that there was no advantage to be taken, she left."
Sheng Weirao frowned and said, "But the Meng family has a large number of people..."
"Have you forgotten about Miss Zhao San?" Sheng Weiqiao sighed secretly and reminded her cousin in a low voice, "Miss Zhao San was born and raised in Chang'an, how many people are there who have a good relationship with her? Besides, against General Huaihua With the official position of Minister of Rites, it is impossible for no one to stand up for her."
What she didn't say was that King Gaomi himself was full of hostility towards Rong Suihe's son. Although the prince was particularly active in the marriage between Rong Sheng's family, what was he thinking in his heart... Who knows
So at tonight's banquet, why would Meng's side keep staring at her and looking for trouble
Wouldn't it be more interesting to sit and watch the internal fighting among the Gaomi King faction
Sheng Weiqiao suspected that Meng Shuangliu came to test her before, and saw that she retorted rudely, so she left quickly, not necessarily because she was afraid of him, but because she came to confirm his temperament. If I reply in a nice way, there is a high probability that Miss Sun of the Meng family will hate Iron Bu Cheng Steel for "prompting" me. I must maintain my fighting spirit so that I can fight with the person who stood up for Zhao Taomei later. Just tear it up.
But Sheng Weirao's face was full of worry at this moment. If he told her in detail again, who knew how worried this sister would be
Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to dampen his cousin's interest, so he said a few words, "After all, it's a New Year's Eve banquet. It's just a quarrel of words at best. They don't dare to do anything."
"But..." Sheng Weirao hesitated before he spoke, but two girls came over holding hands and sat down in front of Sheng Weiqiao politely. They said with a half-smile but not a smile: "County Lord Kangzhao, you really can't tell. !”
Sheng Weiqiao took a closer look and saw that it was Luo Wanhua and Fang Xinniang. The friendship between these two people was extraordinary. Although they were not relatives, they were inseparable like sisters. They had the same yin and yang expressions looking for trouble.
Seeing them, Sheng Weiqiao was honestly a little surprised and disappointed. She was not very familiar with the female relatives under King Gaomi, and the two girls she was most familiar with were probably the ones she was most familiar with.
Unexpectedly, they were the first ones to come up to look for trouble today.
"There are a lot of things you can't see. What are you talking about now?" But disappointment is nothing but disappointment. A spoiled girl like Sheng Weiqiao, when she knows she is in a stronger position than others, bowing her head means she has a clear conscience and is responsible for her family. Now that she wants to have her own status, she is not afraid of these two girls at all. She will not give in just because they had a good conversation when they met before. She said lightly at the moment, "Why don't you talk carefully and listen?"
Her rude attitude made Luo Wanhua and Fang Xinniang stunned. After a pause, Fang Xinniang snorted coldly: "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Of course it was you who stole Prince Mi Zhen!"
