Chapter 25:

It’s just that she thinks so in her heart, but Tang Lihua is not prepared to interfere too much with Wang Cuiyao. She is the heroine and has her own good fortune with the hero, and no matter how bad, there is also the hero.
If someone wants to give Wang Cuiyao from the family background or family, Tang Lihua will not sit back and watch, after all, she is not a squeaky temper.
"The queen mother, the queen mother, the eldest princess is here." With a sound that echoed through the backyard, all the ladies in the room got up from their seats and bowed to salute.
"Get up, both the Ai family and the queen are here as guests. You don't have to be cautious." The queen mother held a string of wooden beads in her hand and smiled very kindly.
Most of the attendees were the family members of the third-rank master's family. They had participated in the palace banquet, and had also met the Queen Mother, and there was no demeanor.
The queen mother is seated at the top, the queen is on the right, and the eldest princess is seated on the left. In this dynasty, the right is honored, and the queen is naturally more noble than the eldest princess.
When the ladies all sat down, the queen mother swept around and said with a smile, "Shou'an, why don't you see Ning'er?"
The eldest princess also smiled, "After reporting to her mother, Erchen arranged the ladies in Tinglan Garden, and Ning'er is also there."
The queen mother nodded and said nothing.
The eldest princess looked at the sky, glanced at the queen mother's expression, and said, "Now it's the hour, it's time to call them all over."
"Lan Zhu, please invite all the ladies over." After saying that, the eldest princess gave an order, and the maid behind her should be, and then quickly walked towards Tinglan Garden.
Tinglan Garden was not peaceful at this meeting, and Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao didn't know why. The four of them here were discussing which flowers are expensive, and the people over there started a dispute.
And it’s not someone else who is arguing with others. It’s He Xuanxuan, an acquaintance. She has a red palm print on her face. The hosta on her head will hang on it without falling off, and her right cheek has begun to swell. The person who beat her used multiple strengths.
He Xuanxuan flushed her eyes and covered her face, staring at the person opposite her spitefully, "Shen Xin, you don't want to deceive people too much."
The woman of Shen Xin didn't even look at her. She was taking the handkerchief handed over by the maid behind her, and slowly wiped her fingers clean, as if there was something dirty. After wiping, she threw the handkerchief to the maid, "Throw it away." ."
Such a posture even turned He Xuanxuan's face red, but she couldn't say anything for a while.
Lin Ling'er's face was also ugly. He Xuanxuan came with her. She is so bullied now that she can't get through her face. She just didn't want to care about it, but now she has to.
Lin Ling'er stood up, walked to He Xuanxuan's side, looked at her coldly, and saw her embarrassed appearance. When she was wrong, she said lowly, "Useless idiot."
He Xuanxuan's body shuddered subconsciously when she heard it, and then she buried her head, not daring to make any more noises.
"Miss Shen, Xuan Xuan didn't mean to offend. Why don't you expose this matter to my face?" To Shen Xin, Lin Ling'er naturally took another look.
Facing Lin Ling'er, Shen Xin's attitude was not much better, just as carelessly, "Watch your dog, if you call in front of me again, it won't be that simple next time."
Such a complete lack of face and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. Wang Cuilian who was watching the excitement was a little surprised.
The smile on Lin Ling'er's face disappeared. Seeing Shen Xin's gaze became dangerous, Shen Xin also looked back without fear, and a gentle voice sounded, breaking the deadlock.
"The guests who come to the mansion to participate in the flower viewing banquet are all distinguished guests. Miss Shen and Princess Gao Le don't have to be like this. They all sit down and drink tea to calm down." It was the princess's daughter, Princess Changning who spoke.
The host's family all spoke up. They were not good at being a guest and didn't give face. This storm was taken away. Only the embarrassed He Xuanxuan was invited down by the maid to clean up her appearance.
The excitement of the yard was restored again. Wang Cuilian asked at this time, "Who is that girl Shen?"
Without Ms. Huang's answer this time, Wang Cuiyao poured tea for her and said, "Miss Shen is the only daughter of General Shen, and her father is General Hussar from the first grade. I have a relationship with her."
Wang Cuilian nodded clearly, no wonder she didn't show the face of Princess Gaole in Prince Rong's mansion.
Miss Li was timid. After seeing the scene just now, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "This flower viewing banquet should end soon, I always feel restless."
Miss Huang took her hand and comforted, "Don't be afraid, we are little people. They won't notice us. I will accompany you home when I meet the Queen Mother."
Now it can only be so, Miss Li nodded.
It's just that as soon as they finished their words, a maid came over and gave a slight salute to Wang Cuiyao, "Is it the Wang family girl? The princess invites you to go."
She said she was pleased, but there was no room for refusal. Wang Cuilian frowned slightly and looked over there, only to see that the ladies over there were all looking at them, with the look on their faces.
The princess asked, Wang Cuiyao had to go, but when she stood up, Wang Cuilian pulled her clothes corner, watching her cousin worried, Wang Cuiyao smiled comfortingly at her.
"Miss Wang, please." The maid deliberately stopped and let Wang Cuiyao go ahead.
The two sides are not far apart, otherwise the lively Wang Cuilian on the other side would not be able to see clearly, but the design of the Tinglan Garden was ingenious. The pavilion they were in was surrounded by small lakes on both sides, and lotus flowers were planted in the lake.
It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, they will not fall into it, but Wang Cuilian thinks of the eyes of those young ladies watching a good show, and always feel that something is wrong.
Before she could figure out what was wrong, she saw the maid who was following Wang Cuiyao suddenly speeding up, and walking to Wang Cuiyao's left, she seemed to be tripped by something, and slammed Wang Cuiyao to the right. .
If Wang Cuiyao was really hit, he would be hit directly into the lake.
Wang Cuilian was shocked, got up and ran over, but it was too late.
Fortunately, Wang Cuiyao is always paying attention to the movement of the maid. As a Koi, she is still very keen on other people’s likes and dislikes. After seeing the movement of the maid, Wang Cuiyao moved a few steps forward to the right and happened to collide with the maid. Staggered.
Immediately there was a scream, and the maid slammed to the ground firmly, still facing the ground, and when she lifted her face, her nosebleeds flowed.
At this time, Wang Cuilian also rushed to Wang Cuiyao's side and pulled her to her side. She looked at the maid with very cold eyes. She squatted down and stared at her with cold eyes, "I don't know what to live or die."
After speaking, she kicked the maid’s body without any force. The maid groaned again. After receiving the surprised look from her sister, Wang Cuilian coughed awkwardly, and explained, "To this little man, Don't be too polite."
I guessed in my heart, for fear that Erya thought she was too violent when she was an older sister. When she met Wang Cuilian's a little nervous eyes, Wang Cuiyao suddenly smiled, smiling from the bottom of her heart, "My sister is right."
The sisters reached a preliminary consensus and smiled at each other.
The person who was waiting for Wang Cuiyao to make a fool of herself can't laugh anymore. Princess Gao Le glared at the person on the right. That person was her concubine Lin Shu. Lin Shu was pleased and smiled at her sister. It is served by her side.
The whole person failed, but was beaten in the face. Lin Shu was not so mindless as Xuan Xuan, her face remained unchanged, and she walked to Wang Cuilian's side and looked at Wang Cuiyao with apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, I The maid is clumsy, so she didn't disturb the girl."
Regarding her pretentious worry, Wang Cuiyao ignored her, took her sister's hand, and said, "Take care of things that don't have eyes, so why don't your sister take care of her feet, so as not to dirty the uppers."
Wang Cuilian raised her eyebrows, she had the same temperament as herself, too agreeable.
Very cooperative, "I was annoyed for a while, and I will remember it next time."
The two of them were just like no one else, leaving Lin Shuqian aside. It was not embarrassing that they wanted to have the attack.
As Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao talked, they skipped Lin Shu and walked slowly toward the pavilion.
"I have seen Princess Changning, Princess Gaole, and Princess Changle." The two saluted together.
The host of Changning County is gentle and harmless, and said with a smile, "The two girls quickly get up. I look at the two eyeballs, so I invite you to come over. If you are harassing, I'm sorry."
Wang Cuiyao knew about her grandmother's appointment as the prince of the township last night, and at this time she also replied, "Return to the princess, the grandmother at home is the prince of Yunan township."
The Lord Changning naturally knew it a long time ago, and he was just looking for a reason. Hearing Wang Cuiyao's answer, he nodded, "It turned out to be Pingyang Township, and I also admire the actions of the fellow villagers.
Immediately, Princess Changle's gaze turned to Wang Cuilian who was aside. She could see clearly just now, this person kicked the girl mercilessly.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Wang Cuilian smiled shyly, as if she lowered her eyelids a little shyly.
Wang Cuiyao knew her sister's temperament more or less, and she was very cooperative when she saw her, "This is my big sister."
Princess Changning was about to say something. At this time, the maid who came to pass the pass finally arrived. She whispered a few words in her ear. Princess Changning stopped pestering the two sisters and said to everyone, "Please move to Tingzhi Garden. "
They all came from there, naturally knowing the situation there, and waiting for someone to inquire, the Princess Changning said, "The empress dowager and the empress are already seated, please come and lively."
It was no different from my own guess. Everyone had that thought, and their hearts immediately became hot. They were waiting for this moment after preparing for so long. Although the third prince was the object of many people's admiration, the other princes were not bad.
Under the leadership of Princess Changning, everyone flocked to Chao Tingzhi Garden. Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao deliberately left behind. Ms. Huang and Ms. Li greeted them and asked worriedly, "Are you okay? The princess has Didn't you embarrass you?"
Wang Cuiyao smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, let's go, I will be able to return to the house after seeing the Queen Mother."
When everyone walked to Tingzhiyuan, they all bowed to the empress dowager and the eldest princess who were sitting here. Seeing the young ladies who were of the same appearance and family background, the queen mother smiled and looked very satisfied.
Tang Lihua also noticed the two granddaughters at the end of the crowd. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the Queen Mother's gaze and seemed to linger on them for a while, and her guess was even more real.
"The Ai family has been in the palace for a long time, and these girls don't even know how many." The queen mother sighed.
The eldest princess said, "The back of the mother is important, and I don't dare to let others disturb me on weekdays. Today, I can take advantage of this effort."
He said, facing the humanity below, "You all come to meet the Queen Mother one by one."
As the host, Princess Changning is also the Crown Princess of the Royal Family. Naturally, she is the first one, "Changning has seen the emperor's grandmother."
The queen mother smiled and said, "You girl is just playing a trick, so I don't want to see you and go to the side."
Even so, the words are full of intimacy, and I feel a little nervous when I hear Gaole and Changle.
Then came the Princess Gaole and the Princess Changle, and then the only daughter of General Shen from the first grade. In short, they came from the ranks. The queen mother always had a smile on her face, and she couldn't see the joys and dislikes.
Wang Cuiyao and Wang Cuilian were the last to salute. After listening to the two of them, the queen mother smiled and said to the Tang Lihua in the seat, "You two granddaughters are both beautiful."
Tang Lihua was named and stood up naturally, "The queen mother is ridiculously praised, but it's just normal."
The queen mother just laughed. During the next banquet, the queen mother and the queen sometimes clicked on some lady-like questions. Even Huang and Li were asked once, and both of them flushed with excitement.
Wang Cuilian also noticed that if there was a mark on her face, He Xuanxuan did not show up when it was important.
"Presumably you also know why the Ai family and the queen came." The queen mother suddenly said such a sentence, and the court immediately calmed down. Everyone stared at the queen mother closely, no matter what was rude or rude.
The queen mother looked funny, knowing what they were thinking, and then sighed again. Those two would find problems for themselves.
"I saw that you are all good, it makes people dazzle, the queen, don't you think?" the queen mother continued.
The queen also responded with a smile, looking extremely satisfied, "What the mother said is."
Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, the queen mother waved to Wang Cuiyao, "You come forward and let the Aijia live a look."
Wang Cuiyao stepped forward according to her words, and the queen mother looked at her with a gentle face, "It really is a good one."
Like a joke again, he said to the queen and the princess, "The Ai family has heard Xiao Pingyang say many times. This Wang family girl rescued her, and Ping Yang became close to her, and often begged the Ai family to be the master and let the Wang family be her The three emperors."
The Queen Mother had just finished speaking. , Wang Cuiyao felt a few hostile eyes projected on her body, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while.
The queen and the eldest princess knew the queen dowager's temperament, and she certainly didn't say this casually, because she was afraid that it was intentional in her heart, so she immediately watched Wang Cuiyao several times.
It is no secret that his daughter is longing for the third prince. The eldest princess naturally hopes that her daughter will become the third prince, and the queen is the more elegant and demure Changle princess.
When the two of them didn't know how to answer, they saw four or five people walking into the backyard. When they saw one of the men, the eyes of many ladies were a little bright.
The man in the dark blue clothes embroidered with gold threads first saluted the Queen Mother, "Cheng Xi has seen the emperor's wife."
Then several other people also stepped forward and saluted the empress dowager and empress who were sitting here, "please send greetings to the grandmother and queen mother."
Seeing a few grandchildren, the queen mother was naturally happy, and said to the man who called her the emperor's wife, "I haven't seen you for a long time. When will I return to Beijing?"
Li Chengxi was the youngest brother of the first emperor. He was more than 20 years old from the current sage. He was free and unrestrained in temperament. He often ran north and south, so the queen mother had this question.
Li Chengxi said, "I went back to Beijing a few days ago and I didn't go to see the Holy Master. I just met them. I knew the emperor was here, so I came to see him."
The eldest princess and queen stood up, "I haven't seen the little emperor for a long time."
Li Chengxi nodded to them, and then said to the queen mother, "I knew that the emperor's wife was choosing her concubine today, so I won't come."
The queen mother knew that she was just now, she must have been heard, and she groaned, "You, you, you have already reached the age of starting a family. After all these years, I think you should choose a marriage that suits you today."
Li Chengxi hurriedly asked for mercy, "The emperor's wife knows my temperament."
The queen mother sighed, "If the first emperor was still there, she would definitely blame me for being the emperor's sister-in-law, so that you are still alone."
Li Chengxi was very helpless, his eyes swept around, and then he met a line of sight. Then the two of them stared with big eyes, as if thinking of something, Li Chengxi raised the corners of her mouth at the man, and the man had a bad instinct.
Before she wanted to escape, she saw the folding fan in Li Chengxi's hand and said, "If the emperor's wife is persistent, then Chengxi can't follow the emperor's kindness. I saw that the girl was very good, so I asked the emperor to give me both. Gift marriage."
The accused Wang Cuilian, who was about to find a place to hide, froze, and smiled awkwardly and politely in front of everyone's eyes.
Seeing Li Chengxi who laughed white teeth at the end of her face, Wang Cuilian's teeth rattled. This stingy man is really a must.
She was annoyed that she was unlucky in her heart. The enemy was Lu Zhai. She had seen Li Chengxi's status at the time, and she never thought that he was the younger uncle of the current emperor, and she called the queen mother-in-law. How could this be extraordinary?
"Prince Jing don't want to joke with the girl." Wang Cuilian showed a look of panic, but only Li Chengxi who was looking at her could see the viciousness inside.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and Li Chengxi's face was full of stern expression, "Marriage matters, it's a trifling matter."
