"It's true what you say about my mother. It's not that I can't get married. Even if I really can't get married, don't be so anxious. The families she showed me were all rich and powerful families, and the sons of those rich and powerful It’s enough to be weak one by one.” Wang Jinyan wailed twice, sighed, and couldn’t help complaining again, “Do you know which three families she admires the most? Ning Ye from Shunqing Palace, Li Zhiyan from the Li Mansion, and Liu Qiyan, the champion of the new division."
Yun Chang's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Wang Jinyan amusedly, "Not bad, although Ning Ye and Li Zhiyan are sons, it can be seen that Mrs. Wang still cares about you very much. The two of them have one thing in common, that is, They are all sons, but none of them are the eldest sons. If you marry in the past, you won't be too sad. The treatment of the sons of the sons is much better than that of the sons of the concubines. Moreover, the most important thing is that you don't need to be in charge of the middle class, and you don't have to work too hard. Not to mention Liu Qiyan, the number one scholar in the new department, he is the number one scholar in the new department, and his younger sister is now a concubine who is favored by the emperor, her future is limitless, and, as an orphan, there is no father or mother in the family. In-laws, you are at ease."
The corner of Wang Jinyan's mouth twitched, lying on the beauty's foot, and sighed long, "I know my mother is for my own good, but I really don't like them. There are so many crucian carp in the river, aren't they just getting entangled with the number one beauty Qianqian recently? Li Zhi looks down on the high-definition military officer, who looks like Prime Minister Li, and doesn't like it when he looks at it. As for Liu Qiyan, I haven't seen it Yes, but since he is the new champion, he must be a nerd."
Yun Chang laughed, everyone in the imperial city was scrambling to grab these, but when they came to Wang Jinyan's mouth, they were all so unsightly.
After a pause, Wang Jinyan said again, "But now there should be only two choices, hehe, Ning Ye is also unwilling to marry me, haha, I heard from my brother that day my brother accompanied his mother to choose jewelry in Yirenlou At that time, I happened to meet Ning Ye with a little beauty there to choose hairpins. Ning Ye greeted her brother and mother respectfully, but later, after her mother left, she found that something had been left in it, so she went back to get it. When I was there, I heard Ning Ye and the little beauty say that Wang Shilang still wanted to marry his daughter to me, and that Wang Jinyan, a girl, knows how to shoot a gun, so there is no such thing as the gentleness of a little beauty."
Yun Chang's expression changed, Ning Ye has martial arts, there is no doubt about it, and his martial arts are not weak, with his martial arts, he must have noticed that Mrs. Wang went back, but he still said that when he found out...
"Yes, yes, Miss Wang is right. However, it is not wrong for your mother to be worried. At your age, you should really think about life-long events. Come, tell me, what do you want to marry? What kind of person?" Yun Chang said with a smile.
Wang Jinyan suddenly lost the anger just now, leaned on the couch, and said after a while, "I just want to tell you, I hope, I can find an ordinary person, I am lazy, I don't like big houses The intrigue in the movie, and I have a bad temper, I hope he can tolerate me a little bit."
Yun Chang was silent for a long time when she heard the words, and then sighed quietly. The person Wang Jinyan said may be the ideal husband of many women, but it may be difficult to achieve an identity like the Wang family.
After Wang Jinyan finished speaking, her face was flushed, and she smiled and said after a while, "Oh, Chang'er, you are so bad, you just know how to talk to me, so don't worry about it. Anyway, my brother hasn't married yet. If mother says me, I will Just use my brother to prevaricate her. If one is not happy, I will quietly run away from home and go to the rivers and lakes to find a man from the rivers and lakes."
Yun Chang shook her head, "You are the only one who dares to play around like this relying on the love of your parents."
Wang Jinyan smiled and said, "By the way, you can also let Prince Jing see if there are any suitable generals under his command, and introduce one to me."
Yun Shang laughed, "You're not ashamed either."
But despite saying this, Yun Shang took this matter to heart, and wrote a letter to Prince Jing himself as soon as she returned to the palace, and sent a letter to Ning Qian, telling her to keep Ning Ye in check.
Yun Shang remembered what Wang Jinyan said just now, and frowned, Ning Ye... Who is it
Duke Hua kept his promise, and went to the palace to meet Emperor Ning the next day, but Yunshang sent many people, but none of them could find out the real intention of Duke Hua to the imperial city. He asked Prince Jing to help him get a lot of portraits of the daughters who were waiting to be married in the imperial city, and it seemed that they really came to choose the concubine for the prince of Xia.
Yun Shang slightly hooked the corners of her lips, Prince Xia is the eldest son of the successor empress of Xia, and it was true that Prince Jing said that he was extraordinary in appearance and imposing, just because Prince Xia is a person who likes to practice martial arts very much. His martial arts seems to be good, and he is also very brave in leading troops to fight, but it seems that his resourcefulness is a bit lacking, he is just a person who is not good at foresight.
Compared with Xia Houjing, it seems to be two extremes.
The primary election for the Flower Appreciation Festival has passed, and the Flower Appreciation Banquet is getting closer, Yunshang actually begged Emperor Ning to let Hua Jing come out for a walk before the Flower Appreciation Banquet, although Emperor Ning felt a little bit He was puzzled, but he didn't refuse. Perhaps he also knew that if Hua Jing didn't appear, then it would be difficult to continue singing this play. Because both Xia Kingdom and Yelang Kingdom came here for the purpose of marriage, and although Ning Kingdom has two princesses, and neither of them is married, they absolutely dare not let them rob Prince Jing . Therefore, Hua Jing is the best choice. Although Hua Jing was married and had such a scandal some time ago, what does it matter? She is always the eldest daughter of Empress Ning and the head of all officials grandfather.
Hua Jing was released from the ban three days before the flower viewing feast. Although he only said that his body was about to recover, many people already knew about the day of the hunt, and they tacitly stopped mentioning it.
When Yunshang went to greet the queen the next morning, she saw Hua Jing, but Hua Jing had changed a lot, maybe this time the blow was too big, Hua Jing lost a lot of weight, and she exuded a smell that I saw Standing beside the empress with a pityful taste, her eyes were timid, as if she was in tears, and her voice was much lower. When she saw Yunshang, she also politely called out, "Sister Huang."
Seeing this, Yunshang raised her eyebrows, and hurriedly leaned forward, took Hua Jing's hand, sighed, and said with a bit of distress, "My sister has lost so much weight due to this illness. My sister has suffered. It’s been a while since the servants of the Princess Mansion didn’t serve her well? Chang’er felt distressed just looking at it. Why don’t sisters move into the palace for a few days? Mother misses her so much these days. Her mother lost weight even when her sister got sick. It just so happens that the queen mother can talk more with her sister."
The queen nodded when she heard the words, "Shang'er's words are very true. I will report to the emperor later to let Shang'er stay for a while."
Just as I was talking, I heard Emperor Ning's voice coming over, "I have heard it, since that's the case, let Hua Jing stay in the palace, it will be a flower viewing feast soon, Hua Jing hasn't participated in such a banquet for a long time, Ask a few more nuns to teach her some rules."
Everyone hurriedly saluted.
Hua Jing heard the words, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes, after a while, he gritted his teeth, and saluted Emperor Ning, "Thank you, father, my son will definitely live up to my father's expectations, and he is eager to learn."
Seeing Hua Jing's appearance, Yun Shang was so relieved, thinking that Hua Jing would learn to behave after being hit once. It turned out that it was just a superficial effort, but it was fine.
Emperor Ning sat on the main seat and nodded, "Get up." Then he looked at Hua Jing carefully, and seeing her desolate appearance, he didn't show any other expressions, and kept going. They all said lightly, "It's true that I have lost some weight. There are also small kitchens in the Qiwu Palace on the left and right. You can live in the Qiwu Palace and let the servants make some favorite food according to your preferences. These days, Spend more time with your mother."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. As soon as the words fell, the empress and Hua Jing were a little stunned. The empress quickly adjusted after a while, but it was Hua Jing who seemed a little unwilling, but Ning The emperor's eyes were burning, and she no longer had the care she had before, making it impossible for her to speak.
He sneered secretly in his heart, didn't he just want her to make a kiss, why did he say so euphemistically, and asked her to spend more time with the queen. However, if they really get married, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again.
Thinking of this, I felt even more sad, and my eyes fell on Yun Shang, who seemed to have nothing to do with it, and the hatred was even worse. All of this was her fault, and it was all thanks to her, so how could she not Hate it or not, Ning Yunshang, don't think that I'm about to leave and you can sit back and relax. Even if I go to get married, I have to avenge myself before I get married.
Feeling Hua Jing's malicious eyes, Yun Shang looked at Emperor Ning with a smile on his face and said, "Father is biased. That day, Chang'er saw Father's sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Qinzheng Palace. I was so greedy, Father You don't want to eat it for me either."
Hearing the words, Emperor Ning looked at Yun Shang who was sitting quietly beside him, his eyes gradually became warmer, and lightly reprimanded, "You are my daughter, I don't know what plan you have? Jing The king sent you Yumanlou's sweet-scented osmanthus cake into the palace every few days, thinking that I didn't know? You just looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the concubine Ya, just making fun of me. Your temper is becoming more and more lawless. "
Yun Chang grinned, turned her head and took Empress Yuanzhen's arm and said, "Queen Mother, you see, Emperor Father is so protective of your concubine, Chang'er is jealous."
The concubine Ya at the side looked a little flustered, but Yunshang couldn't get in when she was talking to the queen, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
The queen raised the corners of her mouth and laughed, with a dignified expression, "How old are you? If you act like a baby with the emperor like this, you won't be afraid of so many people making jokes. If you like sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I'll ask the kitchen to make it and send it to you. .If you like what Yapin made, she is naturally not a stingy person, so if you want to eat it, just tell her."
Yapin quickly said "yes", with a hint of trepidation.
Yun Chang laughed when she heard the words, "It's still my mother who loves me."
Emperor Ning shook his head, feeling a little helpless, "You are used to finding backers for yourself. By the way, I received a letter from Abbot Wuna yesterday asking how you are doing. Let me congratulate you for your destined marriage."
When Yun Shang heard this, a blush appeared on her face, and she lowered her head and said, "Shang'er takes the medicine that the abbot Wu gave to Chang'er every day. Although she is still relatively weak now, she basically doesn't get sick again. Maybe Chang'er hasn't visited Abbot Wuna at Ningguo Temple for a long time. Chang'er will never forget the abbot's kindness to Chang'er. By the way, I will stay in Laifeng Palace for a while, and my mother and concubine are about to give birth, and Chang'er will be the first to see her younger siblings."
Hearing this, Emperor Ning seemed to be thinking of Concubine Jin, with a bit of concern in his expression, "Abbot Wu Na is so kind to you, you really should visit often, you are a grateful person, father is very pleased, but, If you want to be the first to see your younger brothers and sisters, that’s not possible, when those envoys are gone, I have to go to the palace to stay, my children, of course I have to be the first to see.”
Yun Shang listened to Emperor Ning's words with a bit of childishness, and couldn't help being a little funny. His eyes fell on the people present, and he saw that the smile on the corner of the queen's mouth seemed to freeze, hanging on for a long time, but not a bit angry , while Hua Jing lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, and looked at the concubines present, some were indifferent, some were faintly jealous, in various poses...
Yun Shang bid farewell to the Queen and Emperor Ning, and took Qian Yin back to Qingxin Hall. As soon as Qian Yin entered the hall, she told Qin Yi in detail what happened in Qiwu Palace just now, with a bit of a look on her face She gloated, "Sister Qinyi, you didn't see that the expressions of Empress Cai and Hua Jing were really wonderful, but Hua Jing was a bit quieter, not as stupid as before."
Yun Shang smiled, Hua Jing is not a stupid person, judging from the previous methods, he is also a scheming person, but Hua Jing has been favored since childhood, so he is naturally spoiled a little, and he is a little less scheming Forbearance.
If she had learned to forbear, she would be an opponent that could not be ignored. Unfortunately, at least she hadn't fully learned it yet.
When Qin Yi heard Qian Yin talking about Yun Shang teasing Emperor Ning earlier, her expression moved slightly, and she hesitated, "Princess, Madam Yapin...would she be angry if you said that?"
Yunshang smiled slightly, and shook her head, "Yapin is also someone I have trained for a long time, so naturally she won't get angry with me because of such a trivial matter, but I can help her instead, I see the queen wants to Including her, but I can't fully trust her for a while, if I target her intentionally or unintentionally, I'm afraid the queen will trust her even more."
The two maids nodded, and stopped talking about this matter, Qin Yi said softly, "Princess, just now the master's people have sent a message to the servants, the master reminded the princess, be careful of the people in the Li family, saying that now The envoys are all in the imperial city, I am afraid that Prime Minister Li will make an idea of the princess, there are quite a few people in the Li family's house in this palace, so we must be extra careful."
Yunshang's heart warmed up, and the concubine mother was raising her baby in Laifeng Palace, but she still followed the movements of the imperial city and warned Yunshang.
Yun Chang smiled slightly, "I see."
Although Yunshang deserved it well, and indeed strengthened some defenses, he did not expect that the Li family would still hit Yunshang with his idea, or in a way that Yunshang had never thought of.
On the first day of the flower viewing banquet, Prime Minister Li entered the palace, and soon after, Yunshang was passed to Qinzheng Hall by Manager Zheng. King Jing.
Yun Chang pondered and moved slightly, but didn't know what Prime Minister Li was doing. After Prince Jing and Yun Shang entered the Palace of Qinzheng together, he saw Prime Minister Li sitting aside with a serious face, talking to Emperor Ning.
As soon as Emperor Ning saw the two people coming in, he smiled and waved, "The emperor and Chang'er are here, please sit down."
Yunshang sat down with King Jing, only to hear Emperor Ning say, "The reason for calling you two here today is because of one thing. Every year, a man and a woman are needed to be flower guides at the flower viewing feast. The third son of Prime Minister Li's family and the lady of the Minister of Rites, but the lady of Taiwei's mansion suddenly suffered from smallpox and could not come. The two of you go. It is a very honorable thing to attract flowers, and I see that only the two of you are suitable now."
Yunshang had never participated in a flower viewing banquet before, so she didn't know what the flower attractor meant, so she looked at Prince Jing in confusion. King Jing noticed Yun Shang's gaze, and said softly, "The flower attractor It is the one who is in charge of etiquette in the flower viewing banquet. Before the banquet, it is necessary to worship on behalf of the contestants, and then guide the flower-presenting women to come forward and explain the flowers they presented and the talent show."
Yun Chang nodded and understood a little. It's just that I sneered in my heart, that the lady of the Ministry of Rituals was so sick, it just happened to be the day before the flower viewing feast, it was really hard not to think about it. I'm afraid, here, Prime Minister Li has already set up a trap, just waiting for the two of them to take the bait.
However, this matter was brought up by Emperor Ning. Even if Yun Shang had some guesses in his heart, he did not dare to refuse. He raised his eyes and looked at King Jing for a moment, then said softly, "This is the glory of Shang'er, but it is just that Shang'er has been in the past." I have never participated in a flower viewing banquet, so I don't understand many things very well, I'm afraid I will bother you to explain it to the prime minister."
Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Prime Minister Li quickly said, "This is the duty of a humble minister."
Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Li proposed to let Yunshang and King Jing go to the place where the flower viewing banquet was held to get familiar with each other, and then let people explain to them in detail the things that need to be paid attention to.
Yunshang responded, only saying that she needed to go back to Qingxin Hall to change clothes. After asking about the place, Emperor Ning asked King Jing to send Yunshang back to Qingxin Hall.
"Needless to say about this, I know he has a conspiracy, but I don't know, what kind of idea is it?" Yun Chang hooked the corner of her mouth, with a bit of disdain.
King Jing lowered his head to look at Yunshang, but what he said had nothing to do with the matter, "I heard that Abbot Wuna said that you have found a destined marriage?"
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the conversation had shifted here, and then heard Prince Jing chuckle, "I am very happy to be affirmed by Abbot Wu."
