Chapter 1184 Flower Appreciation Banquet
?In late July, it is the battle between gold and fire. Most people are reluctant to go out at this time of year.
Zhong Wanting was sitting on the carriage, even though there were ice cubes in the carriage, she was sweating from the heat.
The maid xylophone said: "It's too hot today, if only it rained."
As soon as the words were finished, there was a loud bang outside, which startled the three people in the carriage.
In an instant, it was dark outside.
Zhong Wanting lifted the curtain of the car, and saw a long dragon-like flash appeared in the sky.
With a sound of "Wow...", the heavy rain poured down from the sky like the sky had collapsed. The raindrops were connected together like a net, which caught them on the road and made them unable to walk.
Another servant girl, Guqin, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Muqin, your words are so effective. If you say it will rain, it will rain." The rain in July comes and goes quickly, so there is nothing to worry about.
Xylophone looked at Zhong Wanting who was squinting, and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence." If her words were so effective, then her daughter would be the Crown Princess, not the Third Prince's Concubine.
When Zhong Wanting arrived at the Princess Mansion, Tan Aoshuang and Huang Siling had already arrived.
During the draft, Zhong Wanting made Tan Aoshuang her biggest rival. But the results showed that her worries that day were right, and she lost to Tan Aoshuang in the end. But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is useless to think about it.
Zao Zao was amazed when she saw Zhong Wanting, she is such a beauty, no wonder Brother Xuan wanted to marry her back home.
"Greetings to the eldest princess and the second princess." Although she was engaged, she was not yet married, so she still had to salute Zaozao and Liu'er when she saw her.
Zaozao said with a smile on his face: "Family, there is no need to be more polite." Although they have not passed the family, but the imperial decree of marriage has been issued, and that is their Yun family.
Liu Er frowned when she saw Zhong Wanting's clothes. Today, Zhong Wanting is wearing a long red silk dress embroidered with peonies, and she is wearing a peony bun, with jewel-embedded dots emerald green steps inserted obliquely in the bun, which looks graceful and luxurious.
Generally speaking, when you are a guest at someone else's house, you will try to avoid overwhelming the host. But Zhong Wanting's attire today, compared to her master.
It's not that Liu'er wants to compare herself with Zhong Wanting, she just thinks that Zhong Wanting shouldn't even understand this bit of etiquette. But if it was intentional, then Zhong Wanting's move is worth thinking about.
Zao Zao didn't think too much about it, and said with a smile: "Let's all sit down! You Lian, hurry up and bring the red bean milk smoothie to eat."
Liu'er smiled and said, "You can't even eat it. Otherwise, Changsheng will have diarrhea."
Zao Zao sighed: "It's really a crime." From the time she was pregnant with Changsheng to now, she really hasn't had a good night's sleep or eaten a good meal.
After finishing speaking, Zao Zao looked at Tan Aoshuang and the others, and asked, "Do you eat red bean milk smoothie?"
Tan Aoshuang shook her head: "This food is too cold, my stomach can't take it." It's also because her mother said that it's right for the girl to eat ice food and it's not good for her health. So even at home, Tan Aoshuang didn't dare to eat anything that was too cold.
Zhong Wanting said with a smile: "I haven't eaten red bean milk smoothie for several months, I miss it very much." In Jiangnan, the food and clothing are very good. But when she arrived in the capital, her standard of living plummeted. Especially when entering the palace, the food is not for people to eat at all.
Huang Siling was embarrassed to refuse, but she said that she could only eat half a bowl. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea.
Liu'er glanced at Zao Zao, said with a smile: "Bring up everything!"
The things served include chilled watermelon, sour plum soup, and fruit juice, but there is no red bean milk smoothie.
"What about the red bean milk smoothie?"
Liu'er laughed and said: "I didn't do it. I'm afraid I did it, and the eldest sister can't help but eat it." In case of Changsheng diarrhea, it will be another toss. Simply, not well done.
Zao Zao suddenly made a bitter face.
Liu'er looked at Huang Siling, and asked with a smile: "Miss Huang, I heard that you are good at chess?"
Zhong Wanting didn't know Huang Siling well. In her impression, Huang Siling was a taciturn and docile woman. No major flaws, but nothing great either. As for the queen choosing this girl for the fourth prince,
She was also puzzled.
Therefore, this meeting couldn't help but look at Huang Siling. I saw Huang Siling wearing a crescent white ruyi-patterned summer shirt with six moonflower skirts embroidered with blossoming daisies. The hair is combed with a hanging cloud bun, and a jade luan hairpin with rose crystal and lotus daisy is worn. She has a melon-seeded face, delicate eyebrows, thin lips, and her stature has not yet fully grown, but she has a demeanor that is as light as a chrysanthemum.
Huang Siling hurriedly said: "It's all just a misrepresentation. My chess skills are average, and I usually play alone when I am bored in my spare time."
Zhong Wanting smiled and asked: "Miss Huang, this hairpin you are wearing is quite special." This girl's family does not have a hairpin that wears Bing Dilian. I don't know what this girl is thinking.
Hearing this, Huang Siling showed a shy face: "This is a gift from the fourth prince." It's okay to say some things openly, but if you cover it up, people will think more about it. Furthermore, she also wanted the fourth prince to know that she had received such kindness.
Zhong Wanting's expression froze.
Zao Zao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said: "This kid actually knows how to please his wife, it seems he has grown up."
Huang Siling was so ashamed that his face was covered with rouge.
Liu'er really wanted to touch her forehead, what are you talking about! Now she regrets letting Zao Zao come here.
Tan Aoshuang smiled gently: "Fourth prince, you really have a heart." Unfortunately, the prince doesn't have this kind of heart. Thinking of this, Tan Aoshuang felt a little lost.
Zhong Wanting didn't feel this, and she didn't like Brother Xuan, so it didn't matter whether she gave something or not. But seeing Liu'er looking at her, he felt a thrill in his heart. Fortunately, she reacted very quickly, she glanced at Huang Siling enviously, then lowered her head. Sometimes, words are not needed, but a proper expression will make the effect better.
Liu Er smiled and said, "Can you play chess? Let's play chess." There is an old saying that watching chess is like watching people. But Liu Er didn't intend to observe the temperament of Tan Aoshuang and the others, she felt that the atmosphere was not good and wanted to find a topic.
Zao Zao quit: "You go down, what am I doing?" She didn't have that patience, so she never learned chess.
Liu'er looked at Zhong Wanting with a smile, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhong, I heard that you play the piano very well, why don't you play a piece for my eldest sister."
This jujube did not refuse. I often listen to Liu Er playing the piano, and I still have a little appreciation for this aspect.
Liu Er plays chess with Tan Aoshuang, Zhong Wanting plays the piano, and Zao Zao and Huang Siling can both watch chess and listen to the piano.
Zhong Wanting played "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for everyone. After playing, Zhong Wanting explained with a smile: "This piece is what I am best at." It was not suitable to play this piece during the competition, so I had to play "High Mountain and Flowing Water" for the next best thing.
Tan Aoshuang praised: "The lingering sound lingers in my ears for three days." This is by no means a compliment, but from the heart.
Zao Zao also thought it sounded good, "Liu'er, how do you think it compares to you?"
Zhong Wanting hurriedly said: "I dare not compare with the second princess." In fact, she really wanted to hear Liu Er play a song, but she keenly felt that Liu Er didn't like her, so she didn't dare to ask.
Liu Er didn't comment, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhong's piano skills are much better than mine." No matter how much she said, she didn't say anything.
Zao Zao felt that Liu'er was boring, turned to look at Huang Si Ling and asked with a smile: "Hai Qiong said you are good at making pastries, what kind of pastries are you good at?"
"I can make red bean rice cake, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, lotus root flour osmanthus cake. However, I am not as good as the imperial chef." Although she thinks that the cakes she makes are good, princesses and princes are used to good things. Her cakes It is estimated that the other party will not like it.
Tan Aoshuang said with a smile: "Sister Huang, when there is a chance, let me have a taste of your craftsmanship." She will become a sister-in-law in the future, and she will get along well with her now.
Huang Siling didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "If it doesn't taste good, I hope you can give me some suggestions so that I can improve it."
After lunch, the three of Tan Aoshuang went back.
After the people left, Zao Zao asked Liu Er: "I feel like you don't like this girl from the Zhong family?" If the sisters have not felt this for more than 20 years, they are not real sisters anymore.
Liu'er smiled and said, "I don't like it. When you come to my house as a guest, you can even overwhelm me as the host. If you are so competitive, you will definitely be a troublemaker in the future."
Zao Zao laughed straight after hearing this: "When did you become so narrow-minded?"
Liu Er deliberately smiled and said: "I've always been so narrow-minded." In fact, she felt that Zhong Wanting seemed to be dissatisfied with the marriage, or else she would play some kind of Fengqiuhuang. But she won't tell Zao Zao about this. In case Zao Zao turns around and tells Ah Xuan about this, it will cause trouble for nothing.
Zao Zao knew that Liu'er was joking, but she didn't continue the topic: "What do you think of this girl from the Huang family? I've been looking at it for a long time, but I can't see anything special!"
Liu Er smiled: "My mother chose her for her own reasons. It's getting late now, shouldn't you go home? Changsheng must be hungry after being out for a long time." Changsheng can now eat supplementary food, so Zao Zao didn't want to take him out.
After walking out of the gate, Tan Aoshuang invited Zhong Wanting and Huang Siling to play at her house tomorrow.
Zhong Wanting refused straight away: "I'm going to the Han Mansion tomorrow to visit my aunt."
Huang Siling responded with a smile. As for making pastries, it doesn't matter if you are a day late.
The servant girl Shu'an said to Tan Aoshuang with a displeased face: "Girl, this girl from the Zhong family doesn't think much of you." Ever since she arrived at the Princess Mansion, Zhong Wanting has been indifferent to her daughter.
Tan Aoshuang smiled and said: "It's okay." Zhong Wanting was afraid that she would not become the princess, and she felt unwilling. But she didn't think about it, the most important thing about this princess is not her appearance and talent, but her character and family background. The Zhong family is the emperor who has taken refuge halfway, and she will never be able to become a crown princess just because of this. Therefore, Tan Aoshuang never regarded Zhong Wanting as an opponent from the beginning to the end.
Seeing that Tan Aoshuang didn't care, she didn't say any more, but became suspicious about another thing: "Miss, is this girl from the Huang family too ordinary?" Not boasting, she thought she was better looking than this Huang girl .
Tan Aoshuang said with a smile: "Although Miss Huang looks ordinary, she has a good character and a good temper." Such a person will be easy to get along with in the future.
Speaking of this, Tan Aoshuang was a little disappointed: "The fourth prince also likes her very much." Otherwise, she wouldn't have given Huang Siling a hairpin. Although hairpins are not priceless things, this kind of intention is rare.
Before dinner this day, Yu Xi asked Brother You with a smile on his face: "I heard that you gave Miss Huang a hairpin?"
Brother You said generously: "I saw this hairpin by accident in the store, and thought it suited her well, so I gave it away." In fact, Brother You thought that since he was engaged, he should express it. In this way, Huang Siling also knew that he was satisfied with this marriage.
Gifts should naturally be in line with the other party's wishes. So he asked someone to inquire about Huang Siling's preferences, and then went to the jewelry store to pick out this hairpin.
The corners of Yuxi's mouth turned up: "Is that really the case?"
Facing Shang Yuxi's eyes that seemed to know everything, Brother You didn't hide and pinched it: "Cough, there is no way, who told you to choose a dull and taciturn wife for me! So, I can only take the initiative. "
Yuxi raised her eyelids, and said with a half-smile, "Oh, so it's all my fault."
Brother Yu is busy apologizing.
Yun Qing hummed and said: "It's a good thing to please your future wife, but it's good to do it in private, don't make it known to everyone." Asking the future father-in-law to help deliver things, only Brother Yu can do it .
Brother You said with a smile: "Okay." Now he thought of Huang Shoushan's constipated face when he heard that he was asked to help hand over the things to Huang Siling, and he wanted to laugh.
Looking at Qihao, Yuxi said, "Ahhao, shouldn't you show it too?"
Seeing that Qi Hao was silent, Yun Qing said: "This daughter-in-law will spend the rest of her life with you, you have to treat her well."
"Brother You sent something to Ms. Huang, if you don't express anything, Ms. Tan will definitely feel very disappointed when she finds out." Yuxi hopes that after a few children, they will be able to be loving and happy as husband and wife.
Qihao hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!"
Seeing this, Brother Yu smiled and said: "Brother, your attitude is not appropriate. This daughter-in-law must be treated well, so that she will have one heart with you. Otherwise, the husband and wife will be in the same bed and have different dreams."
Yun Qing scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Just now he thought the child was sensible, but in a blink of an eye he lost his mind again.
Brother Yu felt that he was right. But he also knew that arguing with Yunqing would definitely not settle.
Yu Xi looked at Qi Hao and said: "Ah Hao, Brother Yu is right, this person, you can only exchange your heart for your heart." She didn't say anything more, Brother Hao is a smart kid, and some things are just right. That's it.
Yun Qing hummed, and said: "Your mother's words are quite right. You are cold and indifferent to others, and they will not always put a hot face on a cold butt. Once you get cold, it will be too late for you to try to get back."
Yuxi was so speechless, she still spoke so rough after so many years, she didn't make any progress.
Qihao nodded and said, "Mother, I know."
Early the next morning, Qihao sent someone to deliver two books to Tan Aoshuang. This is not an ordinary book, but an isolated copy, which is in Qihao's private collection.
Tan Aoshuang was overjoyed when he received the gift.
ps: (>_), it is a lie to say that you will not have dysmenorrhea after giving birth, and today I am in excruciating pain. Sorry, the single update has resumed in the past few days, and the double update will be resumed after this has passed.
