The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 28 Who Said That

"Although her mother comes from a scholarly family in Jinling, her family has already fallen into poverty. She is no different from a poor family. She really matches her humble father who was lucky enough to pass the Jinshi exam. With such poor parents, how can they raise a good daughter!"

Even the third-rank officials of the current court were scolded.

Meng Meimei really hated Dong Linglong.

"Oh." Meng Shisan responded in a flattering tone.

Meng Meijing immediately scolded her even more enthusiastically: "Although her father is now a senior member of the third rank, he has stopped here. It is impossible to go up, but it is very possible to go down. No matter how arrogant Dong Linglong is, he will not be arrogant for a long time. !”

Meng Shisan was quite surprised to be able to comment on Dong Youshilang, a political figure, and then asked, "Who said that?"

"I said it myself." Meng Meili and Dong Linglong hate each other.

"I'm asking about Mr. Dong's evaluation of his official career. Who told you?" Meng Shisan said more clearly.

Meng Meili was not satisfied with Meng Shisan's evaluation of Dong Youshi Lang's career. It was not her own conclusion. It was true, but she also wanted to save face.

"Why can't it be me." She muttered in a low voice.

Meng Shisan's ears were clear, she could hear clearly, and she only squinted at her.

Meng Meimei immediately moved back the step she had taken just now, and said close to her: "One time His Highness came to sit in Xuanyuan Terrace in the mansion again. After I found out, I ran to look for Eldest Brother. I wanted to see His Highness. But after arriving , overheard elder brother and Young Master Ji outside Changxuan."

"His Royal Highness was not in Changxuan at that time?" Meng Shisan was more concerned about whether this comment was made by Li Shou.

"No, His Highness was already sitting in the Guanyong Pavilion at that time." Meng Meimei recalled.

The pavilion on Xuanyuan Terrace is named Guanyong, which means watching the clouds rise and rise. It was inscribed by Empress Meng herself before she left the palace.

Meng Shisan didn't ask any more questions, but only wondered in his heart whether Minister Dong You had offended someone, or blocked someone's way, to get the evaluations of Meng Renping and Ji Kuan.

But they just said that they didn't intend to make a move after listening to that meaning. It is obvious that Dong Youshilang is not a princeling party.

In the current Great Wei Dynasty, although Li Shou is the first son, he is not the eldest, but the third.

Before Li Shou, the eldest prince died in infancy. The second prince, Li Heng, was born as a concubine and later as a direct descendant. His biological mother was the former Lu noble concubine and now the Queen of Lu, and then Li Shou was born.

In addition, the fifth prince Li Luo was born to Concubine De, the seventh prince Li Cong was born to Concubine Shu, and the fourth and sixth princes in the middle were the same as the eldest prince. Although they were able to be born smoothly, they were all in the process of growing up. Did not survive.

Although Li Cong did not die young, he became disabled in an accident when he was young, and has been sitting in a wheelchair since then. Such a seventh prince has no chance of becoming the ninth and fifth princes.

The remaining second and fifth princes are all healthy, safe and high-spirited, and many of them have become their courtiers.

Since Dong Youshilang is not in the East Palace camp, is he a neutral emperor's party, or is he in the camp of Li Heng or Li Luo?

After thinking about it all the way, Meng Shisan couldn't come up with an answer until he entered the back garden of the palace where the banquet was held.

Without any corroborating information, she couldn't possibly come up with a definite answer.

But Dong Linglong had good friends with Dong Wushuang and Fang Muxun. If she couldn't find the answer from the Dong sisters, she could find clues in Fang Muxun from the side.

After all, if the Dong family is neutral, then the Fang family where Fang Muxun, whom the sisters of the Dong family are friends with, must also be neutral.

If not, the elders of Dong Fang's family would not allow them to befriend each other.

Noble ladies can talk and laugh on the surface without offending each other regardless of their camp, but when it comes to becoming handkerchief friends and having a firm personal relationship, the prerequisite must be that their respective families are moving in the same political direction.

"Sister, we are late." Meng Meimei looked at the large group of noble girls in the middle of the garden, and frowned, "Everyone has started to enjoy the flowers over there."

In the middle of the back garden of Prince Jing's Mansion is a glazed octagonal pavilion. Four bluestone paths extend into the pavilion. Flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the path, and they are neatly trimmed. Not even a single weed is visible.

Although it is a peach blossom banquet, it is not full of peach blossoms in the garden. Just a few steps away from the pavilion, there is an old peach blossom tree in the south, like a giant umbrella, covering the pavilion with thick shade. Cover tightly.

The spring breeze is blowing, and the peach blossoms are blooming all over the branches, and they are gorgeous.

Meng Shisan and her two sisters were walking in the south direction, and they were about to pass under the peach blossom tree. The noble girls headed by Li Zhaoqin were setting up desks to describe the peach blossoms, and they were looking at her and Meng Meijing's direction.

While Meng Meijing was talking, a group of people on Li Zhaoqin's side also saw the unfamiliar Meng Shisan.

"Who is that?" Li Zhaoqin was not painting, and when she heard the reminder from the lady in her ear, Meng Shisan came into her eyes as soon as she raised her head, and she immediately asked suspiciously.

When she was questioning, she saw Meng Meiliji next to Meng Shisan. However, she had never paid much attention to Meng Meili, who was much younger than her. In the past two years, Meng Meili had become quite familiar to her, but she was called The impression of being anonymous.

Furthermore, she has been organizing the Four Seasons Flower Appreciation Banquet since she was ten years old, and it has been six years now.

In the past six years, many noble ladies have come and gone, either getting married or making a fool of themselves, or moving their families out of the capital, or being convicted and exiled thousands of miles away. No matter what the reason was, she has seen too many noble ladies, and she can remember them all. Not many, even fewer who can make good friends with her.

That's why at the flower viewing banquet, she often couldn't recognize which noble lady belonged to which house.

She couldn't help but ask Shi Lanxi beside her: "The other one looks familiar to me, but I just can't remember which house it belongs to?"

Lanxi was fifteen years old at that time. Although Li Zhaoqin was one year old, she was strong in remembering people: "The second granddaughter of Meng Tianguan, the second daughter of the second wife of the Meng family, Meng Meili."

She is the second daughter of the family of the current family, and also the second in line. The current concubine of the fifth prince, Concubine De, is her aunt.

At this time, Xiang Zheng, who heard Li Zhaoqin's question, also said: "Meng Er has always come to the banquet alone, and has never brought anyone with him. Why did he bring someone this time? Could it be her outsider?" The cousins ​​of the ancestral family?"

"Do you recognize the man next to Meng Er?" Li Zhaoqin turned to look at Xiang Zheng. She had forgotten that Xiang Zheng was only twelve years old and was about the same age as Meng Meili, so she might know him.

Shi Lanxi also looked at Xiang Zheng.

Xiang Zheng blinked her big eyes and shook her head: "I don't know."

She was born in the third eldest son of the Xiang family. She was the youngest daughter and the sixth in line. The concubine Shu in the palace was her aunt, and the seventh prince was her cousin.

Although the seventh prince has a disabled leg and has no hope of becoming a heir, because the Xiang family is the prince's aunt after all, the Meng family, as the aunt of the East Palace, naturally does not have much contact with her Xiang family.

If you don’t interact with each other, you won’t be familiar with them.

How could she recognize it.

Shi Lanxi's side is also the same.
