Although Huayan is not a person who dislikes ugliness and loves beauty, she still can't help being elated when she sees such a beautiful woman. Originally, half of the reason for going to Beijing was for the beauties in the Eastern Palace, but after entering the Eastern Palace, she found that there was no beauty in the Eastern Palace, which really disappointed her.
Now that she saw Zhao Qingxi, she really felt that she could be called the number one beauty in Southern Chu, and she couldn't help thinking, Yun Chi was really blind, covered in lard, and actually cultivated gentleness both internally and externally. The beauty like water is not chosen, but someone like her who doesn't even have a face in the roster
If he hadn't molested her several times, she really suspected that the emptiness in the huge backyard of the Eastern Palace was because he was sick.
Huayan held Zhao Qingxi's hand reluctantly to let go, her eyes were shining like stars, the more she looked at her, the more she liked it.
Zhao Qingxi already had exquisite makeup and good rouge, but now that she praises her so much, she is as gorgeous as peaches and plums, as delicate as spring flowers, as if she has turned a lotus flower that has emerged from the mud into a coquettish and prosperous flower. Mandala, suddenly is eye-catching.
When the two beauties stood like this, everyone in the hall only felt that the brilliance was shining, and the world was overshadowed.
After Zhao Zaifu's accident, he looked at Huayan carefully, and was surprised to find that even if he stood with his daughter, this Lin'an Huayan was not inferior at all. Compared with her overwhelmed look, which is a little restrained and cramped, it is even more vivid and bright.
His heart shivered, he coughed, and said with a smile, "Xi'er, you came just in time. It's inconvenient for the princess to stay with me and other men. Your mother can't get away because the eldest princess can't get away. You will entertain her." Crown Princess, it is most appropriate."
Zhao Qingxi couldn't find the steps, so he nodded quickly when he heard the words, "Father is right, my daughter came here to pick up the princess as ordered by her mother."
Zhao Zaifu nodded, and smiled at Huayan, "Prince Princess, don't be cautious. When you come here, just treat it as your own home."
Huayan nodded with a smile when she heard the words, "I fell in love with Sister Zhao the first time I saw her, and wished I could make friends with you. Don't worry, Zaifu, I will definitely not be polite."
Zhao Zaifu smiled and said, "That's good."
Zhao Qingxi bid farewell to the emperor and His Royal Highness, and wanted to take Huayan out of the hall.
At this moment, Yun Chi opened his mouth slowly, and instructed in a warm voice, "Yan'er, the women's mat is set up around the lake. You are not in good health yet, so don't stay away from the lake wind, and don't catch cold." After finishing speaking, he said clearly to the outside , "Nurse Fang, look after the princess carefully, and make no mistakes, otherwise, you are the only one to ask."
"Yes, I will remember this old servant," Mother Fang replied hastily outside the hall.
Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, His Highness the Crown Prince was a bit too nervous about the Crown Princess.
Huayan was secretly annoyed, thinking that this bastard Yun Chi was putting on a show, it was really hateful, she wanted to give him a look, but held back.
Zhao Qingxi paused for a moment, his body seemed to be slightly stiff, and then he smiled and said dignifiedly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take good care of the Crown Princess."
Yun Chi nodded, and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry."
Zhao Qingxi stopped talking and left the hall with a pretty face.
Huayan kept holding Zhao Qingxi's hand, just like when Yun Chi held her hand, but she didn't hold it so tightly, and Zhao Qingxi didn't break free, so she held it all the way, even if she left the hall, she didn't hold it. release.
Zhao Qingxi had never held hands with anyone for such a long time and was so close, and she felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn't pull away, so she could only hold hands with Huayan, gossip with her, and introduce her to her. scenery.
After about two cups of tea time, we came to the lakeside.
Sure enough, as Yun Chi said, the banquet was set up around the lake, and there were rows of gazebos beside the lake, and countless female relatives.
Huayan glanced roughly, and saw that there were all beauties with clouds and temples, everyone was well-dressed, beautifully dressed, and the fragrance of makeup and powder was everywhere, it was a very prosperous and prosperous scene.
Presumably, in the past, any banquets in Zhao Zaifu's mansion were arranged in this way, the male guests were in the hall, and the female relatives were here.
Zhao Qingxi smiled and pointed to the largest pavilion in the middle, "My mother, Princess Dachang, Mrs. Jing Guogong, Mrs. Wuweihou, Princess Anyang, etc. are all there. Let's go there."
Huayan had seen it a long time ago, the pavilion was the largest and brightest, the people inside were obviously more gorgeous and dazzling than the rest of the place, there were wives and young ladies, obviously they were all distinguished guests with high status, special hospitality place.
She nodded to Zhao Qingxi, "Just follow sister Zhao's arrangement."
Zhao Qingxi hurriedly said seriously, "The Crown Princess must not talk about a sister, Qingxi can't be a princess, the Crown Princess has a valuable status, Qingxi will never dare to be insulted
handle. "
Huayan smiled slightly, "I'm not the real princess now, sister Zhao is too worried."
Zhao Qingxi choked, "This"
Huayan shot her a look, "It's too natural for me to call you Ms. Zhao. It's not good to call you Qingxi because you're older than me. This title is the most appropriate."
Zhao Qingxi was speechless by what she said, so she could only let it go.
Qiuyue, Nanny Fang and others followed behind the two of them, Qiuyue was secretly stunned, thinking that the young lady caught a beauty, not only to see enough, but also to touch her enough, this is really a disposition since childhood, and it seems that it cannot be changed.
As soon as the two of them showed up, people in the pavilions by the lake all looked at them, to be precise, they were looking at Huayan.
The name Lin'an Huayan had been well-known throughout the world a year ago because of the crown prince's choice of concubine. Since then, people have been curious about it, especially after she came to the capital, she killed the Quartet in the Shunfang Casino and took it from Su Zizhan within half a day. When more than two million taels of silver were taken away, it was even louder than ever.
Now, by congratulating Zhao Zaifu on her birthday, it is everyone's wish to see her beauty.
They all want to see what kind of woman this is. Even if there is a terrible marriage lottery, it can't hide the curiosity of the people in the world.
Seeing Zhao Qingxi walking with her now, the two women are extremely beautiful, one walks lightly with lotus steps, one can see the upbringing and manners of everyone's ladies, although they look delicate, they are very virtuous; He walks slowly, and obviously can't see the slightest upbringing and rules of a lady's upbringing and rules, but it still feels more beautiful and elegant than Zhao Qingxi, with elegant posture and a somewhat radiant complexion.
Everyone couldn't help being secretly surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect that Lin'an's beautiful face was really good-looking and good-looking.
Mrs. Zhao Zaifu was also very surprised. She always felt that there was no woman in the world who could be better than her daughter. Whether it was appearance, upbringing, or talent, she had always been very proud of having such a daughter.
This is also the reason why although she had a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to Zhao Qingxi, and the mother and child were safe, but because of the heavy losses, she could no longer bear children, but Zhao Zaifu never let Ji concubine conceive a son and a half daughter, taking away her position.
Zhao Zaifu has never paid much attention to children and family succession, otherwise he would not have married his wife in his forties in order to concentrate on his official career and not want to cause trouble in the backyard. He is different from many men, so since Zhao Qingxi was born, he devoted himself to raising her, and he did not dislike or despise her because she was a daughter, but valued her very much.
Even if Mrs. Zhao talked about letting the concubine give birth to a boy and a half girl, and adopt her under her name, he never agreed. He only said that in the future, when the daughter gets married, he will just adopt a nephew from the clan. There are many people in the Zhao family who carry on the family line, and he is not bad. He doesn't need his sons, let alone sons and daughters.
For this reason, Mrs. Zhao often felt that she was lucky to be married to Zhao Zaifu. If it was any other man, she would have disliked her for not being able to give birth to a son and a letter of divorce and married another man.
Seeing now that Huayan not only looks slightly better than her daughter, but also has a slightly better posture than her, for a moment, I feel very uncomfortable, and then I can't hide my ugly face.
Princess Dachang, Princess Anyang and others didn't pay attention to Mrs. Zhao's expression, their eyes fell on Huayan, and they couldn't take it back. Many of them present here boasted that they were beauties when they were young, but they still honestly felt that they were no more beautiful than this Lin'an beauty.
Looking at her, all they thought in their hearts was that with such an appearance, only the former empress and Mrs. Wuwei Hou could compare. Unfortunately, both of them passed away.
Mrs. Marquis Wuwei is also very beautiful. Although she is not as beautiful as Zhao Qingxi, she is also ranked among the top young women in Southern Chu. Five years ago, she married Marquis Wuwei as her stepmother five years ago. After marriage, her dress is no longer the same as before, which adds a bit of beauty to her.
But now she looked at Huayan's elegant and fresh body, compared with her head full of jewels and emerald jewellery, and her colorful skirt, she suddenly felt ashamed of herself.
In particular, she thought of the news that the secret guard of the Hou Mansion sent back that day. Su Zizhan re-opened the drunk beauty for her, and also to invite her to drink drunk, and took her out of Beijing late at night to Banbishan Qingshui Temple , Carrying her on his back for another 30 miles at night to Daojing Nunnery 60 miles away from the capital.
Who did Su Zi cut his back against
there has never been
A strong jealousy suddenly welled up in her heart, and in the silence, she finally couldn't help sneering, "This princess's appearance is really stunning, even compared to Miss Zhao, the number one beauty in Southern Chu. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince chose her as the Crown Princess."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhao's face turned dark.
Everyone was stunned, the eldest princess and Princess Anyang looked back at her together.
