Fu Tanghuan's first elder brother and elder sister were born of Fu Sheng's wife, so they are also legitimate sons.
The servants of the Jiang family said that it must be Fu Tanghuan's sister, Fu Tian, who took the space in Miss Fu's wife's carriage, so there is nothing wrong with that.
It's just that, since the Jiang family has no carriage space, Fu Tanghuan's carriage may have to leave in full view and find another place to park the carriage. This is quite a shame.
After all, Fu Tanghuan is also the current concubine of the Fu family, so there is absolutely no reason for her to be bullied by her sister in front of outsiders.
All the rich ladies present were waiting to see the joke, and gathered around, refusing to leave. In addition, Fu Tanghuan's carriage hadn't moved forward for a long time, blocking the subsequent carriages, so the surroundings were full of people.
Mu Yang was ordered by his father to attend today dressed up, wrapped in a dark blue silver embroidered cloak, with a braid in his hair, revealing his white ears and the Yibei characteristic earrings hanging on his ears, giving him a flamboyant appearance. He stretched his neck to watch the excitement, "There are quite a lot of people over there, is there any excitement?"
Chi Jingxi was dressed more casually, with an apricot yellow cloak on his outside, and the snow-white fox fur trim was all extravagant. Most of his clothes were embroidered with Ruyi patterns, and gold threads were faintly visible at the collar, sleeves, and hem. The long hair is tied high, and the thick and thick ink-like ponytail hangs down, which makes the mahogany hairpin even more colorful.
Apricot is a gentle color, and it makes Chi Jingxi's cold eyebrows more delicate and beautiful.
He was a little lazy, and glanced at the crowd, and the moment his eyes froze, he heard Mu Yang saying beside him, "Hey, isn't this the Fu family's carriage? Could it be Fu Zixian's third sister?"
Chi Jingxi paused slowly, as if thinking about something.
But Mu Yang turned half of his body and said, "Why don't we go and have a look, in case the third sister encounters any trouble."
Just as she was talking, suddenly a hand with apricot-yellow sleeves lifted the curtain of the car, and then Wen Yantong's face poked out.
Wen Yantong ordered his servants to hand over his exclusive jade token, and said, "Will no one take my position?"
The guards of the Jiang family took the jade tablet, and saluted in a hurry, not daring to say anything, and wrote down the name of Princess Ningguang, and let the carriage go.
Those who wanted to watch the fun were naturally disappointed, and they all watched the carriage drive away in disappointment.
Mu Yang's footsteps of going to help also stopped, and said, "So the two of you came here together."
A smile appeared on Chi Jingxi's slightly lazy expression, and he said, "Let's go, let's go in."
After the carriage was parked, Fu Tanghuan was still angry, and his face didn't look very good. Wen Yantong went up to hold her arm, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, we are here for the banquet, so we have to go with smiling faces."
Fu Tanghuan took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and snorted, "Let's wait and see the good show."
Wen Yantong smiled, followed others into the Jiang Mansion, the gifts they brought were taken and registered by the servants, and they followed the Jiang Mansion's maid to lead them to the Inner Mansion.
Jiang Mansion is not so big, there are two artificial lakes in it, winding verandas and pavilions scattered in the small forest, the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard have been carefully taken care of, one looks very rich.
But Wen Yantong didn't like it very much, it was too big to walk.
It was not yet time to congratulate Miss Jiang, so Wen Yantong and Fu Tanghuan wandered around the mansion. There were many young girls here, but no boy was seen.
Where there are many girls, there are many right and wrong. What's more, these are all arrogant masters.
Most of them looked down on Wen Yantong, the princess who came down suddenly, and rushed to have fun. Wen Yantong himself also knew that it would cause a lot of contempt just like a poor girl who suddenly mixed into the upper class, but Wen Yantong felt that he was also a educated person with education, and the money in his hands was not as good as those present here. There are few girls, so you are full of confidence.
Wen Yantong and Fu Tanghuan walked and chatted, sometimes discussing the scenery of Jiang Mansion, and sometimes Fu Tanghuan would introduce her to some lady.
Fu Tanghuan was not very popular in this circle of wealthy ladies, and no one would come up to talk to her, so unnecessary dealings were avoided. The two stopped and went and played for a long time. Fang felt that his feet were a little tired, so he sat in the warm pavilion to rest.
There were already people in the warming pavilion. Wen Yantong wanted to leave, but Fu Tanghuan said that she couldn't always avoid people. It's better for people to be familiar with her status as princess.
Wen Yantong felt that what she said was also reasonable, so he followed her into the warming pavilion.
Who knew that Yuanjia Road was narrow, and among the girls sitting in this warm pavilion, there were actually Fu Tian and Fu Shi.
Fu Tanghuan saw the two of them the moment he lifted the curtain and walked in. His face was stiff for a moment, but soon turned into a smile again, "It turns out that all sisters and sisters are here. I said I can't see anyone."
Fu Tian raised his eyes contemptuously, "Oh, third sister, our place is full and there is no room for anyone, why don't third sister find another seat?"
Fu Tanghuan walked in pretending to be naive, "I see there is still room."
Fu Shi also chimed in, "With so many people sitting, it is inevitable that it will be crowded. Just now, my younger sister saw that there are many warm pavilions here. Why should my third sister be crowded in this broken pavilion with us?"
The other girls were silent, gloating and watching the show.
Wen Yantong stood outside, only separated by a curtain, but he could still hear their words clearly.
She sighed lightly, motioned for the servants to lift the curtain, lowered her head slightly and stepped in, and said with a smile, "I saw that the pavilion is quite big, so it can't accommodate me and Miss San?"
The apricot yellow dress on her added bright colors to the warm pavilion, and everyone looked at it at the same time.
Fu Tanghuan followed the trend and said, "This is Princess Ningguang who was appointed by the emperor yesterday."
As soon as these words came out, there was a gasping sound in the warming pavilion, and a quiet atmosphere permeated the air. After a moment's pause, Wen Yantong raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression a little unpredictable.
Only then did the girls come to their senses, and they all stood up to salute Wen Yantong, "I pay my respects to Princess Ningguang."
The voices were uneven, and it was inevitable that there was reluctance to be part of it, but Wen Yantong didn't care at all, and nodded with a smile, without showing any courtesy, "Isn't there a lot of seats here? When people stand up, they look much more spacious. Miss San, don’t you think so?”
Fu Tanghuan answered, "Indeed."
Wen Yantong walked slowly to the middle with a graceful figure and sat down, and said softly, "In this case, let's make you ladies stand for a while, so that it won't look crowded."
They are all spoiled ladies, how could they bear this grievance, and immediately put a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.
Fu Tian is still the one in the early stage, "Isn't it suitable for the Princess Ningguang who was appointed yesterday?"
Fu Shi, who was still arrogant just now, now looked like a ghost, and pulled Fu Tian's sleeve with a pale face.
Wen Yantong thought seriously, then nodded and said, "It's really not suitable."
After finishing speaking, he waved to Fu Tanghuan, "I almost forgot Miss San. We walked a long way just now, sit down and rest."
Fu Tang laughed so much that his eyes reached crescent moons, he came over and sat beside her, and thanked her in a serious way, "Thank you, Princess Ningguang."
Wen Yantong still looked gentle and demeanor, looked at the girls, and said, "As for me, I just came to Chaoge not long ago, and I don't know who these beautiful ladies belong to. Well, now that there are so many girls here, let me recognize them."
In fact, it was even more crowded when people stood up, but Wen Yantong just opened his eyes and told lies, saying that it would be more spacious. She waved her hand, "Stand away from your face."
She pointed at someone casually, "Let's start with you, will you report yourself?"
The girl raised her eyelids to glance at her, and then lowered them, as if to hide the disgust in her eyes.
Wen Yantong was not annoyed, and pretended to be sad and sighed, "It seems that I am worthless as the emperor's own princess, so I should just ask the emperor to take back the reward, so as not to be despised by some casual cats and dogs."
Even if the reward is obtained, Wen Yantong will use it to show off his prestige.
Fu Tanghuan's eyes darkened sharply, "The Princess is just joking, there is no one in Chaoge who has the guts to despise the royal family."
"After all, I am also a royal family of the opposite sex who was named a commoner." Wen Yantong said.
Fu Tanghuan then answered, "The Chi family was also the king of the opposite sex by the common people decades ago. Now who dares to say a word about the right and wrong of the Hou family?"
As soon as I said a few words here, the girl couldn't bear the pressure in her heart, and bent over to salute, "Go back to Princess Ningguang, the minister's daughter is the fourth member of the Li family, and my father's right servant in the Ministry of Industry."
Only then did Wen Yantong smile in satisfaction, lift his chin slightly, and the steps on his head jingled, "Next."
Forcing all the girls to introduce themselves one by one, Wen Yantong yawned, said in a boring voice, then got up and said, "Girls, please accompany me to stroll here, only Miss San and I are really serious It's kind of boring."
Fu Tanghuan then suggested, "Princess Master, I heard that the young masters of Chaoge are all in the Plum Blossom Garden in front of us, just across the bridge. Why don't Princess Master take our girls to have a look?"
Wen Yantong said, "It's a good idea. On such a sunny day, it would be nice to have stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies."
Although Wen Yantong forced them to introduce themselves foolishly, but when they heard that they were going to meet those handsome young masters, their expressions softened a lot.
Isn't that why the well-dressed ones come to the banquet
Wen Yantong Xu Xu walked out, and when passing by Fu Shi, the girl who had been in shock couldn't help but said in a breathless voice, "Wen Yantong..."
Wen Yantong heard it, turned her head and gave her a big smile, and helped her loose hair, but Fu Shi was so frightened that she backed away again and again.
Then she withdrew her gaze, lifted the curtain and left the warm pavilion.
The girls came out one by one, following behind Wen Yantong, some girls took the lead because they were unwell, and Wen Yantong also waved their hands in response.
The bridge Fu Tanghuan mentioned was not far in front of Nuanting, which was why there were the most girls in Nuanting.
Below the arch bridge is a long road paved with bluestone, surrounded by withered grass, and there is still unmelted snow on the top, which looks completely white from a distance.
When Wen Yantong walked slowly to the middle of the arch bridge, she suddenly heard a young man's voice from below, and she stopped in unison with the other girls.
It's just that those girls were shy after all, only Wen Yantong bent down on the railing, stretched his neck and looked down, trying to find Chi Jingxi's figure.
As soon as the line of sight touched the bluestone ground, some loose steps seemed to be unable to bear the gravity, and slipped from the soft hair and fell down.
The step fell to the ground with a crisp sound, the falling beads shattered and scattered.
Wen Yantong clicked his tongue, and was about to call his servants to pick it up, but saw a touch of color suddenly appear in his eyes, and stopped.
Pure apricot yellow, the hem of the robe is illuminated by the sun, faintly showing wishful patterns outlined by golden threads, and the vermilion wooden hairpin on the hair reflects the warm light.
Immediately afterwards, the young son-in-law came out from under the pier one after another, and stopped around Bu Yao.
The girls surrounded the railing and looked down, and the young masters below also realized that there was a girl on the bridge, so they looked up.
This is a moment that makes the hearts of girls and boys alike.
Wen Yantong stared at the person who stopped next to her step, and saw him squatting down to pick up the broken step, then got up and raised his head slowly.
It was clear that we hadn't seen each other for a few days, but Wen Yantong felt like a long time had passed.
The moment Chi Jingxi raised his eyes and looked at them, they met Wen Yantong's eyes, like a step shaker in his hand, reflecting the warm sun in the clear sky, shining brightly.
After a while, the line of his lips curved slightly, and there seemed to be a lingering smile hidden in his cold, dark eyes.
The author has something to say: Chi Jingxi: I am finally not busy.
