The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

168: Appointments for the birthday banquet, Zi Jinguan Jinghua 1 The situation of the Ye family is quite special. In previous years, the eldest princess Xuanhua went to Princess Xuanhe's birthday in person, and Dumanqiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not go, but this year Princess Xuanhe specially gave it to Dumanqiu. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had placed the invitation card, and when Zijin heard the news, a sneer sneered in her heart.

Princess Xuanhe and her mother-in-law are really at odds. Inviting Du Manqiu deliberately will not only make the eldest princess look bad, but also take the opportunity to stir up internal strife in the Pingbei Hou's mansion. It can be seen that this person is also a powerful character, and there are thunderous waves when he raises his hands .

Ever since Zhou's mother told her about Princess Xuanhe in detail that day, Zijin felt that this character was quite interesting, and she didn't feel so uneasy. Humans have flaws, and as long as they have flaws, they are a trap. It's better for Princess He to know how to accept as soon as she is good, otherwise she won't give in easily.

On this day, Zijin deliberately got up early in the morning. After washing up, she opened the copper-clad and carved cage, and carefully selected her clothes.Because she was newlyweds, Zi Jin didn't like to dress plainly, but it was too rich and frivolous, and finally her eyes stayed on the cherry red silk silk dress with flowers scattered all over the clothes, which Zi Jin sewed by herself when she was in her boudoir. It is made by hand, and the embroidery on it is also made by myself stitch by stitch.

This is a set. Inside is a cherry red silk silk jacket sprinkled with flowers all over the place. The outside is covered with a Xiangfei-colored bamboo pattern inlaid with bright satin. Underneath is a cherry red skirt with intricate embroidery. The finely-crafted wreath beaded and eight-treasure-patterned skirt has many pleats, making it very elegant when walking.

Zi Jin asked Han Mei to comb a Tianluan bun again, with a red gold lace inlaid with rubies and a three-tailed phoenix head swaying. Thin gold tassels swayed on the sideburns, adding a touch of charm.On both sides of the bun, there are gilt hairpins inlaid with precious flowers and butterflies pressing down on the temples, and on the ears are pendants inlaid with jewels.The long eyebrows are painted lightly, peach blossom powder is applied to the face, cherry lips are dotted with lip balm, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the figure is like a willow. Han Mei looks at the person in the mirror and chuckles, "Young Madam, what do you think?"

Zi Jin looked at it carefully and nodded, people are clothes and horses are saddles, it's not bad after all, so she smiled and said: "The craftsmanship is good."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Xianqiao walked in and said, "Young Madam, the meal is ready."

Zi Jin stood up and went to the outer room. On the round table carved with red flags, there were rouge goose breasts, bad quail legs, brightly colored pickled cucumbers, steaming green rice fragrant rice and a bowl of fresh ham. Bamboo shoot soup, Zijin sat down and ate with all her heart.She thought that the banquet at noon might still be very early, and she should eat enough to fill her stomach so as not to starve in time. Zijin usually has a great appetite for food, and she never abused herself. The requirements for food and snacks are generally relatively high.

The girls are used to following her. Although the girls in the Hou Mansion are also used to the delicious food here, they never expected Zi Jin, a concubine from a fifth-rank official family, to talk about pomp and food like this. Everything is so exquisite that it is jaw-dropping.Today, Bihe and Suwan are working on errands, and they lined up on both sides to add food and vegetables to Zijin. Bihe looked normal, but Suwan murmured in her heart, feeling that she had really underestimated Yao Zijin before, and this ostentation is comparable to theirs Mrs. Du of the Hou Mansion is gone.

Zi Jin ate a bowl of rice, and most of the dishes were eaten. Then she heard the chopsticks, stood up, went to the Nuan Pavilion to sit down, and a little girl walked in silently with a teacup, towel, handkerchief, and spittoon. After rinsing his mouth and cleaning his hands, he took Xianqiao and Hanmei to the princess's rose garden.

The eldest princess had just finished her meal, and when she saw Zi Jin coming, she stood up and said, "Go directly to the old lady's place to say goodbye. Let's go there earlier today, and I will introduce some people back to you. After that, you will also get to know me." To slowly start interacting with everyone, you have to get to know each other first.”

After all, she is the mother-in-law of her direct relatives, Zi Jin's heart warms up, and with the eldest princess as her referral, Zi Jin's path is naturally easier.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the dew garden, Du Manqiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had just arrived. Two groups of people met at the door and greeted each other before they walked in.

After meeting the old lady, Mrs. Ye told everyone a few words, nothing more than to pay attention to the face of the Hou Mansion, to hug each other outside, etc. Knowing the conflict between the two families, the old lady gave a few words, at home How to fight behind closed doors is our own business. If people see jokes outside, everyone will look bad. The following sentence is Zi Jin's imagination. It's not easy to think about Mrs. Ye, I'm afraid I was also very entangled. It would be really embarrassing to really fight when I went out, so I gave a warning in advance.

Naturally, everyone responded in a low voice. The concierge had already prepared the carriage. This time the eldest princess used a private carriage with five colorful glazed canopies and emerald curtains. Naturally, it was inferior.Since you are going to the Princess Xuanhe Mansion to celebrate your birthday, the Eldest Princess naturally wants to display the majesty of the Eldest Princess. In contrast, Du Manqiu was immediately thrown out a few blocks away, so the quality of your reincarnation determines your future society The level of status, this sentence is not bad at all.

Naturally, Zi Jin followed the eldest princess to get into that incomparably stylish luxury car. If it were placed in modern times, it would be at the level of a Ferrari.This kind of material advantage made Zijin feel a little elated, because she saw the conflicted eyes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over there, although she tried her best to conceal it, but Zijin's eyes were sharp.

Princess Xuanhe did not live in Fuchengbo's Mansion after marrying Fu Chengbo, but lived in the Princess Mansion. Princess Xuanhe's Princess Mansion is naturally incomparable with Princess Xuanhua's Princess Mansion. This is why Princess Xuanhe hates Xuanhua One of the reasons for Princess Huachang.The difference between Xuanhe and Xuanhua is like the difference between a concubine and a concubine. Although Concubine Ping is a concubine, she is not a queen. She is a concubine in a wealthy family, and Aunt Wu, Zijin's biological mother, is still a concubine. A concubine is a concubine after all.

Although Princess Xuanhe's mansion is not as grand as Princess Xuanhua's, it is much more magnificent than Hou's mansion. The two auspicious stone lions at the entrance are majestic and majestic. Rows of gold-plated door nails, there are seven rows vertically and horizontally in the Duke's Mansion, and five rows in both vertical and horizontal rows below the Hou Mansion. The number of rows and number of door nails on the door is also a symbol of status and power.

The tiles on the gate are carved with patterns of flowers, plants, birds, and animals. The protruding column caps are carved with orange flower heads, and various small auspicious animals stand on the corners of the eaves. Looking at it from a distance, it gives an extremely solemn and dignified feeling. The feeling, even speaking subconsciously became quieter, Zijin knew that this was the so-called aura.

The eldest princess arrived, and Princess Xuan and Princess greeted her personally. Even if the two were not in agreement, there were still some superficial things that should be done.

Zi Jin took a closer look at Princess Xuanhe, who was wearing a maroon woven golden makeup, flower cloud shoulders, full sleeves, and phoenix pattern satin with a small vertical collar and double breasted jacket. Sea water pattern skirt.On her head was a shiny emerald face, a pair of big red phoenix eyes were full of smiles, and the skin on her face was still smooth. Zi Jin thought that she was well maintained and she was a beauty.

After the two princesses finished talking, Du Manqiu brought the two daughters-in-law to meet him. Zi Jin stood quietly behind the eldest princess, neither anxious nor impatient, neither angry nor sad, with a slight smile on her face. I mean, Du Manqiu and Princess Xuanhe have also met a few times, and Chu and Chen have naturally met each other. After the salute, the eldest princess took a look at Zi Jin, smiled at Princess Xuanhe: "This is Mingxuan's wife is gone, and Zijin has met Princess Xuanhe."

Only then did Zi Jin slowly come out from behind the eldest princess, put her hands on her waist, squatted down Yingying and saluted, and said: "Zi Jin has met Her Highness, I wish Her Highness a golden and stone life, Jinyue Chengxiang .”

Princess Xuanhe's sharp eyes swept over Zijin slowly, but with a strong smile on her face, she said: "It's so beautiful, elder sister is so lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law." The red gold dot and emerald gold step shaker he was carrying passed to Zi Jin, and he helped Zi Jin up by the way, saying: "Wear it to play, it's not a valuable item."

Zi Jin hastily thanked her, but her hand was rather heavy, it can be seen that it is solid gold, this bit of emerald is not something that ordinary people can afford, the feathers of this emerald are all fine feathers with an extremely pure color.Said it was for wearing and playing, this meeting gift was really generous, at least it gave the eldest princess a great deal of face.

Princess Xuanhe and Princess Xuanhua walked in front, and Zijin followed slowly behind. The entire Princess Mansion occupies a large area, and the servants who came and went all lowered their heads and did not dare to look around, and entered the Chuihua Gate. Then I got on the soft sedan chair and went inward, and stopped after about a cup of tea. They came early, and there were not many guests. I saw them get off the sedan chair and surrounded them in twos and threes. The Eldest Princess paid her respects and greeted Du Manqiu, and it became lively immediately.

Everyone in the capital knows about Zi Jingao's marriage to the Hou family. This is not because Zi Jin is so famous, but because Ye Mingxuan doesn't like a beauty like Luo Jue, and what kind of woman does he like? When the eldest princess introduced Zijin to everyone, even though she was mentally prepared, everyone's breathing was still slightly stagnant when they saw the magnificent and beautiful woman in front of them.The eyebrows are open and charming, and the green temples are full of spring smoke.Those eyes were as clear as water from a mountain spring, her skin was as white as snow, as thick as fat, and her cherry lips under her straight nose had a pink luster.Her figure is like the willows blowing by the spring breeze in March, and she walks like a lotus growing every step of the way. She is so dazzling, especially this cherry red shirt sets off more and more the pure and charming Zi brocade, even The women were dumbfounded.

"It's no wonder that Ye Sanshao fell in love with him at first sight. He really is a fairy." Someone said in a low voice, his words were full of admiration.

"It's just an outstanding appearance, how can a person with a different color last long? After waiting for a fresh head, it's no wonder that such a background can stand." Some people are so mean.

Some people didn't say a word, just watched silently, Zi Jin tried his best to relax herself, and looked normal, but in fact she was still a little nervous, the eldest princess looked at Zi Jin and smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, there is me, these people The ones who are most used to the limelight don’t have to worry about it.”

Zijin felt a little more relaxed when she heard what the eldest princess said. Today's eldest princess's demeanor in front of everyone is completely different from her retreat in Ye Mansion, no matter what the world is. Is it the eldest princess who sits there? The imperial majesty exuded was indeed quite bluffing, Zi Jin was taken aback, thinking that such a eldest princess is the real princess, a golden branch and jade leaf so high that one dare not look up.

As more and more people came, Zi Jin also met one or two acquaintances. The first one she saw was Mrs. Liang Guo. The family has put in a lot of effort, and Zi Jin and Luo Jue are the ones who speak their minds. In fact, although these two people have never said anything, they are clear in their hearts.

Mrs. Liang's wife has lost a lot of weight, probably because of Luo Jue's troubles some time ago. Although she finally got married with Qi's family, it was not satisfactory after all.Mrs. Liang Guo Gong looked at Zi Jin coldly, and the people around didn't seem to notice the turmoil between the two, and they were busy in their own way.

Zi Jin looked at Mrs. Liang's fierce eyes, she knew it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just looked at her lightly, but didn't say a word.

"After all, you still won." Mrs. Liang's wife said through her teeth, her eyes looked as if she wanted to tear Zi Jin apart, and there was a strong hatred in her bones.

"What did Madam say? Zi Jin doesn't understand. Since ancient times, marriage has been ordered by parents and a matchmaker. I don't have the ability to make my wife. How can there be any talk of victory or defeat?" Zi Jin said lightly, beating her to death outside. She will not admit to anyone that she has an affair with Ye Mingxuan, even if she dies, Mrs. Liang's heart is clear in her heart.

"Hmph, don't be complacent, it's just because of the freshness. After waiting for the freshness, a concubine like you with a low family background has to bury one or two in the gate of the mansion every year." Mrs. Liang Guogong mocked.

"Really? The madam needs to keep her eyes open. Regardless of me, I think it's better for the madam to care about Ling Ai's situation first. I heard that things are not going well in her husband's house. Although her husband likes everything, her mother-in-law doesn't like it. Yes, no. What kind of mother-in-law likes a daughter-in-law who loves other men in her heart? What's more..." Zi Jin paused lightly, and looked around when eyes glanced over, a soft smile appeared on Zi Jin's face, "It was Ling Ai who ruined my marriage, why doesn't Madam feel guilty?"

It's true, Luo Jue first pursued Ye Mingxuan to death, but Ye Mingxuan liked Zijin, and then ruined Zijin and Qi Heng's marriage, isn't it Zijin's natural rival?

"Jue'er is right, you are so sharp-tongued and hard to deal with. I used to think that you are so gentle, how could you make Jue'er so angry that you can't eat for three days. What you said today is really shocking." Surprised." Mrs. Liang put away that cold and sinister face in the blink of an eye, and put on the same kind and gentle smile of an elder.

Zi Jin knew long ago that this person should not be underestimated, the kung fu of changing his face was really amazing.

"Compared to Madam, it is still far behind. In the future, I will ask Madam to give me advice. Zi Jin is still young, and after another ten or eight years of cultivation, she will be able to reach one-tenth of Madam's." Zi Jin Crisp laughter spilled from the corners of his mouth, he said goodbye, and then walked away slowly.

As soon as Zi Jin left, the friends of Mrs. Liang came over and quietly inquired about Zi Jin. Mrs. Liang has always been a seasoned person, so she would never openly say that Zi Jin is not in front of everyone. What she is afraid of is not Zi Jin. Jin is just the incomparably powerful old lady Yao behind Zijin, but it is still okay to say some specious things.

After Zi Jin turned around and left, she sighed softly. She didn't expect Mrs. Liang Guo to be so ruthless. She looked at her with unwilling eyes. I'm afraid that some moths might come out in the future. Beware.Just as she was thinking, Zijin raised her head and didn't expect to meet another acquaintance again, she just froze, who came, but it was the third wife of the former Jinghaihou Mansion, the two of them were taken aback when they met.

"Third Madam? Why are you here?" Zi Jin asked in surprise, she had a good impression of this Third Madam Zi Jin, so she was extraordinarily kind.

The third lady still looked good, she was surprised when she saw Zi Jin, and then laughed, "I didn't expect to meet the third young lady here..."

"Ma'am, you should call me Zijin." Zijin felt that it was awkward for the third lady to call her like that, and this hearty wife Zijin had always liked it.

The third lady was not awkward, but she didn't call Zijin so impolite, but called Fifth Miss, and then said: "I didn't expect that we would meet again after going around, so it's really fate."

Zi Jin is also very strange, after the accident in the Jinghaihou Mansion, although the third and second bedroom were not involved, they were defeated after all, and the son of the second bedroom has no fame, how can he still come and go in such an occasion?Seeing Zijin's surprised expression, the third wife was also very happy, and said: "Jun Qiu used some tricks before leaving Beijing to find a job for his two younger brothers, my eldest son under my knees, and the eldest son under the knees of the third younger siblings." , although they don't have serious fame, both of them have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they have a solid foundation. One has become a nomadic captain of the seventh rank, and the other has become the general manager of the seventh rank. As long as they mix well, in the future Can you always be happy."

Zi Jin was a little dazed. After all, Wu Zhen was kind-hearted, and he made such an arrangement before leaving, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations madam, this is a good thing."

The third lady smiled and sighed, "At the beginning I really liked you as a child. I wish you could come into my house and be my nephew's wife. Jun Qiu's child treats you..." I realized that I shouldn't have said this, after all, Zijin was married. The woman quickly changed her words and said, "How are you now?"

This is just the concern of the third lady from the bottom of her heart, Zi Jin naturally felt it, and said in a low voice: "The old lady is very kind, the mother-in-law is also tolerant, and the husband is also very good to me."

"That's good, you are a lucky child..."

The two chattered about the daily life for a while, and then they parted. Before leaving, the third lady turned around and looked at Zi Jin's far away back, thinking of her nephew who went south alone, she couldn't help sighing, what a matched couple For the sake of the family, he was separated from the labor and the Yan, but Jun Qiu was so pitiful.A few days ago, I sent a letter to ask her how she was doing. She was so worried, but she gave up for the sake of her family...

Evil fate!

Zi Jin naturally didn't know the emotions of the third lady, and the third lady didn't know the entanglement between the three of them, so she met Chu and Chen within a few steps. The three greeted each other, and Chu looked at the three. Looking at Zi Jin from the back of the lady going away, she asked, "Third brother and sister, that person seems to be the third lady of the original Jinghaihou family?"

The fact that Zi Jin and Wu Zhen had engaged in marriage is public, and naturally many people know about it. Hearing Chu's question, Zi Jin smiled generously and said, "Sister-in-law has good eyesight, she is the third wife, and I met you in her boudoir before. After a few times, I just met and said hello."

When there was no one else, the three sisters-in-law did not have the harmony of the past, so Shen sneered, and slanting a large number of brocades, said: "Jinghaihou's family is the family of criminals who have been convicted. The third siblings can't be together." Mishandling some gangsters hurts everyone."

The Jinghaihou family had an accident not long ago, and the third wife would need a lot of courage to come out to socialize at this time, so naturally she would not have to be squeezed out by people with such power as in front of her.Zi Jin was displeased when he heard the words, and said: "I just greeted an old friend, the second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about disasters coming. What's more, the son of the third wife has already become an orderly officer. Who could have predicted what happened? Also, although the Jinghaihou Mansion has been confiscated, it is still the Wu family who are stationed on the southwest coast."

The Chu family covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "The third sibling knows the details of the family they have engaged in marriage."

These words were extremely mean, almost directly saying how many families Zi Jin had promised with a woman on her face.Zijin was not angry, but just gave Chu a cold look, and said: "Zijin's boudoir girls only know that their parents' orders must not be violated, so they are not as lucky as sister-in-law. They can get married as soon as they talk about marriage, which shows that sister-in-law is really amazing." Woolen cloth."

Zijin is treating her in the same way as her own. The Chu family ridiculed Zijin's daughter Xu Sanjia, but Zijin in turn ridiculed the Chu family's instability. Also seen in different ways.

Chu's face turned slightly red with anger, but she couldn't refute it. Zi Jin was really convinced. Chu met Ye Jin secretly. Although it was unintentional, she was a bit rash. As soon as she ridiculed, she was blindsided for a while.

"Third siblings looked at Wen Tun really sharp-tongued, grandma was deceived by you." Shen said sarcastically, she felt more dissatisfied seeing Zi Jinyue's calmness.

"Everyone wears skins on each other, it just depends on who lasts longer. The two sister-in-laws have worked hard for today, right?" Zi Jin pointed out, after all, apart from Mrs. No noble lady from any family took the initiative to talk to Zi Jin, which means that others are ostracizing you. Obviously, Zi Jin, a concubine, is really not valued by others.

Chu and Chen looked at each other, and Chu pursed her lips and smiled: "The third younger sibling is really superstitious, what you said is a little unclear, we didn't understand it."

"Don't understand? You probably don't understand, what I'm talking about is human language." After finishing speaking, Zi Jin ignored them and walked away.

Chen was stunned, looked at Chu and said, "She... actually called us inhuman?"

Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sneered, "Let's follow, the show is about to start, I want to see what she does."
