The little turmoil at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion did not cause any waves, but the image of Yang Shuqing's deeds in the eyes of some noble ladies, officials and children of the aristocratic family has dropped a lot.
Especially the noble daughter who likes Xie Shizi secretly feels that he is not worth it.
Jin Wang just glanced at Yang Shuqing indifferently. In the past, he thought that Miss Yang was good at dancing with her sleeves, and she had great means, but now he felt that she was stupid and unaware. There was a coldness in his eyes.
Without hesitation, he brought his guards into Prince Rui's Mansion.
Yang Shuqing turned her head abruptly, staring fixedly at King Jin Qi Changying's back, clenched her hands into fists, her eyes once again bursting with hatred, thinking that King Jin was so busy recently, she felt relieved for a while.
"Miss Yang, let's go in together." King Qin got off his horse, strode up to Yang Shuqing's side, staring at her peerless face with burning eyes.
Yang Shuqing thought that she had a marriage contract, and that she still wanted to be the future Mrs. Dingguo. Her reputation would not allow her time, so she immediately shook her head and refused: "Thank you, King Qin, for your kindness. I'm engaged now, so it's better to keep a little distance." After finishing speaking, she took Qian Rong and Clinique turned around and stepped into Prince Rui's Mansion.
King Qin pursed his lips, and led the people to follow in strides, keeping a little distance.
The gazes of the ladies from famous families standing by the surrounding carriage flickered. King Qin is very popular, with the support of Marquis Anyuan behind him. Taidi is the most popular candidate, and many ministers have secretly stood in line. King Jin's power has been greatly reduced recently, and he is slightly inferior.
All the ladies from famous families who can attend Princess Rui's banquet are born with a delicate heart, the children of aristocratic families, and the children of officials and eunuchs are all young talents.
There is a steelyard in my heart.
Miss Jiang Si is the only fiancée of Ding Guogong, and the current emperor is the first son of the first emperor and Ding Guogong's cousin. If it wasn't for the poison in the womb, the body is weak, and there are no children left, where would the emperor's younger brother be established.
At that time, the late emperor passed away suddenly, and the crown prince had not yet been registered. As the only son of the late emperor, even though he was very weak, Mrs. Xie was his aunt, and Ding Guogong stood behind him, and finally ascended to the throne smoothly.
So Ding Guogong's bias is very important.
Normally, Miss Yang is calm and intelligent, giving people a sense of strategizing, but this time she didn't know whether she lost her head or what, she actually wanted to use Qin King's status to trample on Fourth Miss Jiang.
When a woman encounters feelings, she will be dizzy.
Miss Yang is probably the same, those sons and daughters who admire Yang Shuqing quite a lot, the eyes of the officials and eunuchs show a little disappointment.
Jiang Ningbao and his group followed the young prince Xiao Ran into Rui Wang's mansion, and were immediately stunned by the scenery of Rui Wang's mansion. The rockery and flowing water, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions are exquisite and luxurious everywhere, except for the elderly woman and old man. The young servants and maidservants in the palace are all handsome men and pretty women.
Jiang Ningbao: "..."
No wonder this little prince, Xiao Ran, has developed a temperament that loves beauty. He grew up surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, so it is quite normal for him to have a high aesthetic vision.
"There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the little prince's mansion." She couldn't help sighing.
Xiao Ran, the little prince in front of him, had peach blossom eyes, shook the fan in his hand, and said proudly: "Miss Jiang Si, you really have vision, Prince Rui doesn't have many other things, but has the most beauties."
Jiang Ningbao thought of the one hundred and seven concubines in the little prince's backyard, who were more beautiful than the emperor's harem, and fell silent.
Indeed the most beauties.
She looked back, Jiang Mingyao was silent all the way, without looking sideways, Jiang Yue looked around excitedly, Zhang Zhan was personable and behaved quite decently.
Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly. Jiang Yue's temper was a bit too frizzy. In the past, she rarely had contact with this second cousin, and didn't know much about him. Now it seems that Mrs. Jiang is cheating on her.
"Miss Jiang Si, why didn't the Duke come?" Xiao Ran suddenly asked curiously after being proud.
His mother and concubine held countless banquets, and each time they would send posts to Duke Ding, but Duke Ding never attended, the little prince Xiao Ran felt a little disappointed.
"Little prince, do you think that the famous lady who came to the banquet can resist the evil spirit of the Duke?" Jiang Ningbao asked softly.
Xiao Ran was at a loss for words and fell silent.
Jiang Ningbao smiled, and continued to follow the little prince Xiao Ran, thinking of King Qin and King Jin whom I saw today, these two princes, how should I put it, both have outstanding appearance and temperament, and are equally ambitious, but the feeling that King Qin gave her is not so good. He surpassed the king of Jin.
In the book, King Jin is an ambitious man. In his previous life, he cheated and plotted against the heroine, and even caused her to die tragically. King Qin will fail because of the reason of the heroine, and also because of King Jin's design.
However, King Qin was able to break his legs by a woman named Yang Shuqing in his previous life, which proved that King Qin's ability and resourcefulness were not as good as King Jin's. The throne, and then the heroine became the white moonlight that King Qin couldn't ask for.
This is interesting.
The heroine Yang Shuqing felt that she was so miserable in her previous life, that it was the King of Jin who killed the donkey, but there is also a woman from the same prominent family background who married the King of Jin as a side concubine, but was named a noble concubine.
This woman is also the object of revenge for the heroine in this life.
Jiang Ningbao couldn't help laughing after seeing the two princes. Yang Shuqing's ability to become the white moonlight in King Qin's heart was not only related to King Qin's character, but also because Yang Shuqing was unpredictable and advised King Qin. In King Qin's heart, he was labeled as extremely intelligent and strategizing.
King Jin has great ambitions, deep thoughts, and firm will. He will not easily like a certain woman, and he is also good at forbearance, which is not something ordinary people can control. Weakened a lot, went to the banquet together today, and still maintained a superficial brotherly relationship with King Qin.
For this forbearance, if Yang Shuqing hadn't relied on his rebirth to disintegrate his secret forces, and Xie Shizi later became the new Duke Ding, and King Qin had the support of the new Duke Ding's mansion, he might not be able to compete with King Jin.
King Jin is the ultimate villain in the book.
A sly smile appeared on the corners of Jiang Ningbao's lips. She is now the fiancee of Ding Guogong, and Ding Guogong is also the cousin of Emperor Qianyuan. If he dies, he will have heirs.
This battle between the emperor's younger brother can come to an end.
Yang Shuqing can also calm down.
She will definitely not let the Dingguo Palace be involved in the turmoil of the battle for the throne.
Jiang Ningbao decided to go back and bring up the matter with Ding Guogong. When he thought of another excuse to find Ding Guogong, Jiang Ningbao was in a very good mood and exuded a happy atmosphere.
…
The flower appreciation banquet held by Princess Rui was held in Baihuayuan. Now it is the season of spring, and the flowers in Baihuayuan are blooming, and the fragrance is overflowing, which makes people feel happy.
There are five large pavilions in Baihua Garden, and each pavilion can accommodate more than 30 people.
Handsome servants and beautiful maids shuttled back and forth on the alleys in the sea of flowers with trays, giving people a feeling that flower beauties are more beautiful.
There are also the singing of flutes, drums and actors.
In the hundred gardens, in twos and threes, graceful and dignified ladies from famous families and their maidservants are admiring the flowers. The sons of princes and eunuchs, some are drinking in the pavilion to admire the beauties, and some are chatting and laughing with the girls.
As soon as the little prince Xiao Ran arrived at Baihua Garden, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the group of beauties with different styles behind him, which made people's eyes shine. From time to time, a few familiar children greeted the little prince.
Many eyes also fell on Jiang Ningbao and Jiang Mingyao, with doubts on their faces.
The little prince Xiao Ran brought Jiang Ningbao and the others to the big gazebo in the center of the Hundred Gardens. The big gazebo was covered with blankets. There were coffee tables and low stools on the blankets. Tea, fruits and snacks were placed on the coffee table.
In the big gazebo, there were already several well-known ladies chatting, and they laughed crisply from time to time. Seeing the two strange faces of Jiang Ningbao and Jiang Mingyao brought over by the little prince Xiao Ran, they smiled at them, polite and decent.
Jiang Ningbao also returned a friendly smile.
She thought to herself, this is the real noble daughter of aristocratic family, everyone is a lady, every frown and smile, every move is polite and decent, and will not give people a noble or uncomfortable feeling.
"Miss Jiang Si, you stay here first, and I will take the two of them to the other side." The little prince Xiao Ran glanced at Jiang Yue with a trace of disgust in his peachy eyes.
Zhang Zhan bowed his hands to thank the little prince in a personable manner, and couldn't restrain a trace of longing and excitement in his heart. Those who came here to participate in the flower viewing banquet were all real ladies from famous families and noble families.
If you are lucky enough to be favored by a noble lady from a certain family... Zhang Zhan is eager to move in his heart, but he is calm on the surface. He is the kind of person he is talking about.
Jiang Ningbao smiled: "Please trouble me, little prince."
"Miss Jiang Wu, your fiancé Xie Jinghui is also here. In the big gazebo over there, can you go over and cultivate a relationship with him, or can you send someone to call him over?" The little prince Xiao Ran glanced at Jiang Mingyao, and pointed with a smile. one direction.
A trace of stunned and bewildered Jiang Mingyao's ice-cold face appeared, she pursed her lips, and said in a cold voice, "Thank you, little prince, for your kindness, no need."
Seeing this, Xiao Ran didn't say anything.
Miss Jiang Wu is indeed a beauty, a cold beauty, but the little prince is not interested in beauties who are already engaged.
Jiang Ningbao smiled, and asked about something else: "My lord, when will the flower feast begin?"
Before the little prince Xiao Ran could answer, a clear and melodious female voice sounded: "Miss Jiang Si, the flower viewing feast begins the moment you step into the Hundred Gardens."
Jiang Ningbao was startled, and looked back at the woman who was speaking. The woman was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing an apricot-colored skirt, with exquisite eyebrows and fair skin, and was looking at her with a smile.
Obviously, they have learned their identities from the words of the young prince.
"That's right, what Miss Fu said is right. Miss Jiang Si, every banquet held by my mother and concubine is actually a big party. There is no talent show, and there is no need to recite poems or paint. Just have fun. Of course, you can also have fun." You can leave early and stay as you like."
The little prince Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Jiang Ningbao thanked with a polite smile, and thought to himself, isn't this the ancient version of a high-end blind date meeting, where ladies and family members gather together, if they see the right way, they might come to propose marriage.
No wonder Princess Rui's banquet was so popular.
But every legitimate daughter who received the invitation will more or less bring her concubine sister to participate, so there will always be various accidents.
After the little prince Xiao Ran left with Jiang Yue and Zhang Zhan, Jiang Ningbao and Jiang Mingyao sat in their seats, and several famous ladies introduced themselves.
Jiang Ningbao didn't look down on her just because she was the second wife of Changningbo's mansion, nor did she look down on her because she was Ding Guogong's fiancee, which made Jiang Ningbao feel very comfortable.
Jiang Ningbao finally learned that Miss Fu's boudoir name was Fu Wanning, who was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zuo, and couldn't help but be surprised. This Miss Fu Wanning was the concubine with a prominent family background who was the main woman's revenge.
After introducing herself, Fu Wanning asked curiously: "Miss Jiang Si, I heard that you can get close to Duke Ding. Is it true?" The ladies next to her were also curious.
Jiang Ningbao nodded with a smile: "Well, it may be that my fate is rather special."
This statement was endorsed by the noble ladies present.
The ladies were afraid and curious about Duke Dingguo, the God of War of the Dayue Dynasty, and couldn't help asking a lot about Duke Dingguo.
"Master Guo is a very good and filial person." Jiang Ningbao talked about Duke Ding Xie Heng, thinking of his heart disease Oolong, and the scene of the two of them sparring, smiles appeared on the corners of their brows and eyes.
The eyes of the noble ladies present lit up. It seemed that Miss Jiang Si liked Duke Ding very much.
Jiang Mingyao quietly listened to the fourth sister chatting with the ladies of the family. At this moment, a handsome young man in brocade robes stepped into the gazebo, accompanied by two guards.
"Excuse me, who is Miss Jiang Wu?" The Qingjuan youth asked with a clear voice as his eyes fell on Jiang Mingyao and Jiang Ningbao, two unfamiliar faces.
Jiang Mingyao looked at him coldly, and frowned: "I am, who are you?"
"My name is Xie Jinghui, your fiancé, do you have time to go out for a walk?" Seeing that his fiancée was the cold girl, Qing Juan smiled slightly and invited.
Jiang Mingyao hesitated for a while, then looked back at Fourth Sister, Jiang Ningbao just smiled, didn't make a decision for her, just kept silent, finally Jiang Mingyao got up and followed Xie Jinghui out.
Several people in the gazebo left the gazebo after chatting and went out to enjoy the flowers. By the way, they ran into a young talent. Jiang Ningbao and Fu Wanning hit it off, and they enjoyed the flowers together.
Chunxi and Chunle followed behind.
The more she chats with Fu Wanning, the more Jiang Ningbao feels that Fu Wanning is a smart and generous woman. She thinks of her eldest brother Jiang Jin who is eighteen years old but has not yet engaged. It would be great if Fu Wanning could be her sister-in-law .
It's a pity that each other's family background is a huge hurdle, Jiang Ningbao can only keep this thought in his heart, but when chatting, he praised his elder brother incidentally.
Fu Wanning was transparent and didn't point it out, she just listened intently with a smile.
Jiang Ningbao is enough.
On the flower viewing path, Jiang Ningbao met Yang Shuqing. After seeing Fu Wanning beside her, Yang Shuqing's eyes flashed coldly.
The two nodded politely and passed by.
"Wanning, Ms. Yang seems to be hostile to you." Jiang Ningbao felt the gaze behind her back, and reminded Fu Wanning tactfully that she and Fu Wanning are quite close now, and the two have already called each other by their names.
Fu Wanning paused, frowned slightly, and smiled helplessly: "Well, I also find it strange that Ms. Yang and I have never met before, and every time I meet her in the past two years, I can feel her hostility. "
"It's always good to pay more attention." Jiang Ningbao reminded.
Fu Wanning can only be regarded as the fifth female supporting role in the book. Yang Shuqing launched revenge after Fu Wanning was accused of being the concubine of King Jin, not only destroying Fu Wanning, but also alienating Zuoxiangfu and Jinwangfu The relationship can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Fu Wanning nodded with a smile, and the two continued to stroll around the Hundred Gardens while chatting. On the way, they also met many famous ladies, sons of officials, and some concubines of high families.
On the stage not far away, people from the theater troupe were performing, and a group of beauties and concubines brought by the young prince Xiao Ran sang and danced, attracting many children from aristocratic families to watch.
Jiang Ningbao didn't go to join in the fun. I heard that several accidents happened in Baihuayuan. Either the daughter-in-law framed the daughter-in-law, or the daughter-in-law framed the daughter-in-law. There were so many dramas, it was so lively. It is said that there was a noble daughter from a noble family who shamelessly plotted against her King Jin.
When Jiang Ningbao heard the gossip, he immediately thought of Yang Shuqing.
Suddenly, Jiang Ningbao felt a familiar evil spirit, she looked up suddenly, and met a pair of cold, fierce eyes filled with evil spirit.
It's the Duke of the country, and the Duke of the country has come.
Jiang Ningbao burst into joy, and showed a bright and bright smile towards Duke Ding in the distance. Duke Ding Xie Heng's eyes fell on the little girl's face in the distance, and his cold eyes were stained with a touch of softness.
"Hey, it's Ding Guogong." Fu Wanning noticed Jiang Ningbao's strangeness, looked up, and saw the dreadful and domineering figure not far away, and couldn't help being surprised.
I heard that Ding Guogong has never attended the banquet hosted by Princess Rui, so he got up suddenly this time, could it be because of Miss Jiang Si
"Well, the Duke is here."
Jiang Ningbao nodded with a smile, but in her heart she wished to fly over to develop a relationship with the Duke.
Fu Wanning covered her mouth and smiled, just in time to see a lady she knew admiring the flowers not far away, she hurriedly said: "Ning Bao, go talk to Duke Ding, I won't bother you, come out and get together when you have time. "
After speaking, she took the maidservant and left.
Jiang Ningbao chuckled, and in a great mood, she took Chunxi and Chunle towards Duke Ding Xie Heng.
Ding Guogong's arrival caused a sensation.
But the noble daughters of the aristocratic family and the ladies of the family are far away, only the little prince Xiao Ran and some Xie family children and the children of Mrs. Xie's outer family went to have a few words and dared not stay for long.
Yang Shuqing watched Jiang Ningbao walk up to Ding Guogong from a distance, her smile was bright and bright, which made her feel dazzled, Yang Shuqing took a deep breath, turned her head and smiled softly at Xie Jingyi.
Xie Jingyi's punishment has ended, and most of his injuries have healed. When he learned that his fiancée had gone to Prince Rui's mansion, he and Duke Ding came to attend Princess Rui's flower viewing banquet together.
"Grandpa, are you coming to see me or take me back to the house?" Jiang Ningbao stood beside Duke Ding, a thin blush appeared on his fair and delicate face because he walked too quickly.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked at the little girl, his eyes fell on the gold hairpin inlaid with night pearls on her head, his eyes softened a little, and he said softly: "Come and see you, I will take you back to your residence."
In fact, Duke Ding was absent-minded all this morning, and later a personal guard in black told about the little girl's encounter with Yang Shuqing at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Duke Ding decided to come over to support the little girl.
"Not seeing each other every day is like three autumns. The Duke must have missed me." Jiang Ningbao rolled her eyes, smiled playfully, and teased Duke Ding.
Duke Dingguo Xie Heng's icy eyes flashed a smile, and he said softly, "Yes."
Jiang Ningbao's eyes widened suddenly. She read it right, she actually saw the Duke smiling.
Does this prove that her method works? No, the Duke even chased him to the flower viewing feast.
Jiang Ningbao was very happy.
"Shall we go back now?"
"If you want to go back, you can go back. Today, a special person will come to tailor the clothes." Ding Guogong Xie Heng looked at the little girl and said in a low voice.
"Are you going to make a wedding dress?"
Only then did Jiang Ningbao remember that her wedding date is the first day of May, and there is still more than a month to go. She usually only thinks about cultivating a relationship with Duke Ding.
She seems to have forgotten to embroider the wedding dress.
But she doesn't know how to embroider wedding dresses. Jiang Ningbao has lived in ancient times for 16 years and has yet to learn the skill of embroidery. For her, embroidery is only superficial, let alone embroidering wedding dresses.
"Yes." Duke Ding nodded.
"What if you don't know how to embroider a wedding dress?" Jiang Ningbao asked blushingly, her eyes wandering a bit.
"I will prepare."
"Is this not good?" Jiang Ningbao asked hesitantly. He heard that most women's wedding dresses are embroidered by themselves. If they don't know how to embroider, they will also hook a stitch at the end.
Duke Ding Xie Heng hit the nail on the head: "You don't know how to embroider."
Jiang Ningbao choked.
After thinking about it, it's okay to not know how to embroider a wedding dress. The Duke is better prepared. Jiang Ningbao suddenly feels happy, and naturally reaches out to hold Duke Ding's arm, looking at his handsome face with a smile.
"Let's go back to the mansion, just in time to learn from each other."
Duke Ding Xie Heng froze, his heart skipped a beat.
In the distance, Jiang Mingyao saw Duke Ding and Fourth Sister getting along for the first time, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fourth Sister should have a good life in the future.
She glanced back at her fiancé beside her, and a glimmer of anticipation silently rose in her heart.
