After Li Chengxuan entered the palace, he didn't look sideways, and he didn't even pay attention to those wives who came to pay respects to the Empress Dowager Song.
Hearing Song Jinning say this now, he looked in the direction she pointed.
Sure enough, he saw Jiang Wanqiu at a glance.
There's no way, among a group of wives in dresses, her makeup is too eye-catching.
Compared with Li Chengxuan who never looked at Jiang Wanqiu after entering the palace, Jiang Wanqiu's eyes can be said to be on Li Chengxuan most of the time.
Moreover, they were all eyes full of affection, wanting to speak. So when Li Chengxuan looked over like this at this moment, he couldn't meet her eyes.
Jiang Wanqiu was very excited, her back was straighter than before.
According to the hint in her dream, Li Chengxuan fell in love with her at the first sight on the Empress Dowager Song's birthday. So since last month, she has been thinking about what kind of dress she should wear, what kind of bun she should wear, and what kind of jewelry she should wear.
Wearing the dress of the princess is obviously not acceptable. On this day, many foreign wives will enter the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother Song. The dresses, styles and clothing that everyone wears are only different in some details. At a glance, they are all the same. How can they show her specialness? , let Li Chengxuan notice her at a glance
After much deliberation, she decided to wear the dress she wore in her dream.
However, because Li Chengxuan seemed a little unhappy when he mentioned the drought and flood in Shoukang Palace last time, Jiang Wanqiu really put a lot of effort into her makeup today.
So at this moment, when she met Li Chengxuan's gaze, she felt nervous and confident at the same time.
But to her disappointment, Li Chengxuan just glanced at her, then immediately looked away, and looked at Song Jinning again.
What the hell is going on here? Where did she go wrong
Jiang Wanqiu's heart was filled with uneasiness and confusion, and she tightly clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand.
Song Jinning was also puzzled.
Boss, have you finished watching your peerless true love so quickly? Are you a little too fast
Well, real men can't talk too fast, but...
"Your Majesty, why are you frowning?"
She has seen it just now, Jiang Wanqiu's makeup today is like a jasmine flower in summer, elegant and pleasant, who wouldn't like it
And after she thought about it, it seemed that in the original book, Jiang Wanqiu wore such a dress and played a piano piece at the Empress Dowager Song's birthday banquet, which made Li Chengxuan look back at her frequently.
But why Li Chengxuan not only didn't look back at her today, but also frowned and looked away after only looking at her
"Today is my mother's birthday. As a princess, how can Princess Fu not wear her dress? This is against etiquette."
Song Jinning: ...
How can she show her specialness if she doesn't dress like this? If she wasn't so special, how could you see her at a glance and fall in love with her
"Your Majesty, don't care about etiquette or impoliteness, just say, does Princess Fu look good in such a dress?"
Hurry up and say it looks good! And it's best to quickly reveal that Princess Fu is different from ordinary vulgar fans, she has successfully attracted my attention's overbearing aura.
But she didn't hear the answer she expected.
"It's not pretty."
Very concise and neat and disgusted tone, as if there is no need to think about it at all.
Song Jinning was still surprised by this sentence, and then she was even more surprised by a sentence: "You look good in green."
Li Chengxuan still remembered that one day when he left Weiyang Palace after breakfast, Song Jinning sent him to the gate of the palace on a rare occasion.
When he walked to the screen wall, he looked back by chance, and saw Song Jinning leaning on the door frame. The fine morning light fell on her, reminding him of the willow branches that just sprouted in spring, and the little lotus that will emerge from the water in summer.
From now on, in his heart, no one can match Song Jinning in wearing green.
Song Jinning:? ? ? ! ! !
Song Jinning was about to express her doubts, when Li Chengxuan suddenly put away the slightly awkward expression on his face, and said in a serious manner: "Concubine Fu violated the rules today, as a queen, you should reprimand and punish her. "
Song Jinning: How dare I reprimand and punish the person who is on top of your heart? The Wrath of the Son of Heaven is no joke.
I wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I decided to stop.
She did not concurrently serve as a matchmaker. And when it comes to the performance part of congratulating the Empress Dowager Song on her birthday later, Li Chengxuan will naturally pay attention to Jiang Wanqiu, what kind of heart does she have.
So he continued to sit leisurely in the chair, listening to the Empress Dowager Song talking to those wives.
Regarding Li Xiyan's interest in Li Jian'an that day, Song Jinning found a suitable time to mention it to the Queen Mother a few days ago.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Song was really interested, so she called a trustworthy person to inquire about Li Jian'an and the Dongping Hou Mansion.
Her precious daughter has always been shy, and I told her about choosing a husband-in-law some time ago, and also showed her the portraits of several aristocratic princes, but she showed a lack of interest.
It's rare for her to be interested in a man now, how can a mother like her not care
What does it matter that the Dongpinghou Mansion no longer has the glory of its ancestors? What does it matter if Li Jian'an is just a deputy commander of the Bingma Division? As the empress dowager, does she have to look after the family when she chooses a son-in-law
Just kidding, when it comes to family background and dignity, which family in this world can match up with the royal family? No matter who her daughter marries, she must be married down.
Since they are all married down, they should marry someone that her daughter likes and can make her daughter happy.
As for such things as power and wealth, as a queen mother, she doesn't even have the right to give her son-in-law an official position or reward some gold, silver and jewelry? Then she lived for nothing all these years.
After some inquiries, the Empress Dowager Song knew that the Dongpinghou couple of this generation were honest people. This family neither fights for power, nor participates in party disputes and other messy things. They live a peaceful and peaceful life without desires and desires.
Although even if Li Xiyan got married, her father-in-law and mother-in-law would respectfully call her Your Royal Highness when they saw her, and would never dare to let her be wronged, but the Queen Mother Song knew her daughter's temperament very well, so naturally she had to find a simple one for her. Get along with the husband's family.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the Empress Dowager Song has been very concerned about the Dongping Hou Mansion recently.
Today she celebrates her birthday, Mrs. Dongping Hou also has an imperial order, so she also went to the palace to pay her birthday wishes.
The Empress Dowager Song had already learned in advance that Mrs. Dongpinghou had a daughter who was just at a young age. It was said that she was outstanding in both appearance and talent. But compared to other families today who brought their daughters of the right age, Mrs. Dongpinghou came here alone.
It can be seen that their family has no intention of clinging to the royal family.
Thinking about it in this way, the Empress Dowager Song had a good impression of Dongpinghou's mansion again, so she specially said a few more words to Mrs. Dongpinghou.
Song Jinning sat on the sidelines calmly watching with a smile on her face, and suddenly thought of a wonderful idea in her heart.
For the time being, she had good reasons for not going out to play in the palace, but Li Xiyan did.
It's not that the Empress Dowager Song is interested in Li Jian'an and Dongpinghou's mansion, and is already investigating whether Li Jian'an can become her son-in-law, but Li Xiyan doesn't know yet. Then in two days, can I make a fool of myself in front of the Empress Dowager Song, saying that she took Li Xiyan out of the palace and then went to see Li Jianan? Or simply artificially create an encounter between the two of them
If at that time Li Xiyan became interested in Li Jianan again, then the matter of recruiting a son-in-law can continue to be discussed.
If Li Xiyan doesn't care about Li Jianan this time, then we can only look at the candidates for the son-in-law.
Empress Dowager Song attaches great importance to Li Xiyan's lifelong events, and she will definitely agree to this matter.
It seemed that she had already seen herself stepping out of the heavy vermilion palace gate, bathed in the bright sunlight outside the palace, so the smile in Song Jinning's eyes also brightened.
Li Chengxuan, who would glance at her from time to time, naturally noticed her changes, so he leaned over and asked softly, "What are you thinking, so happy?"
Song Jinning glanced at him sideways, smiled and did not answer.
This girl is going out of the palace, what should I tell you
And if I tell you, with your temper, you can still let me out of the palace
Li Chengxuan is aggrieved.
Although Song Jinning didn't speak, whether it was the smile in her eyes or the expression on her face, they all conveyed a message clearly.
That is, I'm glad it's none of your business.
In fact, His Majesty is not ignorant. Up to now, he is nothing in the heart of his queen. Most of her happiness or unhappiness have nothing to do with him, but doesn't it always feel like she will suddenly get enlightened.
However, it turned out that he was still thinking too much.
Forget it, let's drink tea.
So after the time for His Majesty to drink a bowl of tea, it was time for the talent show.
Apparently, the wives of each family are trying their best to make the girls in the family show off in front of Li Chengxuan. All the girls not only dressed up like gods, but also rushed to show their best talents first.
Some are good at calligraphy, painting, embroidery, etc., and some are good at music, dancing, or singing.
So Song Jinning sat at the top, and only finished appreciating a picture of Magu offering her birthday, and then listened to a pipa solo, followed by another song and dance.
Empress, then don't sit together. So Song Jinning and Li Chengxuan sat side by side with a small table, and the people below had to look up if they wanted to see them.
Li Chengxuan turned his head and saw that Song Jinning was wearing a heavy phoenix crown and a cumbersome queen's dress, sitting upright in the chair without changing his posture for a long time, and felt quite tired and flustered for her.
She also knew that she had to do this in front of everyone, if there were only the two of them, she would definitely sit sluggishly.
In other words, Song Jinning has always been very relaxed in front of him
Thinking of this, Li Chengxuan felt a secret joy in his heart.
Maybe in Song Jinning's heart, he can be regarded as one of his own family, right
He leaned over and said in a soft voice: "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to sit so restrained. Relax."
Song Jinning turned her head and looked at him in surprise.
Just saw the smile in his eyebrows.
What happened today, why is Li Chengxuan still concerned about whether she is restrained or not
Besides, she wanted to relax, but didn't the Empress Dowager Song and Li Xiyan also sit beside her.
Even if the Empress Dowager Song dotes on her, if she sits lazily in front of the Empress Dowager Song, and there are so many wives below, then this is not appropriate.
