Empress Fenghua

Chapter 9
Xinyang Princess Mansion is prosperous and majestic, very lively.Hua Zhong got out of the carriage, dressed in plain clothes of heaven and water, with a white pearl adorned on her white earlobe, her hair was leaning in a bun, and a string of pearls swayed with her steps, making her whole person crystal clear.

Feng Qinyun was supported by Huayan, except for his pale face, he was fine.Today, Huayan is wearing a lavender gauze dress with the same color brocade gauze, which looks gentle, noble, calm and moving.It's just that Hua Zhong's purple clothes fell on Hua Chong's eyes, but she was a little more determined to cling to Ye Congjia.Ye Congjia always liked to wear purple Jinxia gowns.

Pearl, the maidservant of the Lu family, stepped forward and handed over the post.Lu said with a smile on the side, "The Da Furen is not in good health but she came to the banquet. She really respects Her Highness the Princess. It's just that it's a sin to give the Princess Mansion the sickness?"

Feng Qinyun gave Lu Shi a gouged look, and reprimanded, "Where is it your turn to talk?"

Feng Qinyun was wearing a red-bottomed floral dress today, covered with a layer of embroidered gold peony gauze.Hua Zhong knew that this dress was what Feng Qinyun valued most, and that red color all represented her status as a married couple.It must have been specially worn today to show Lu's, in order to suppress Lu's status as a concubine.

Huayan smiled slightly, very gentle, "Mother is just worrying about the affairs of the family day and night, sleep is not good, and Qi and blood are out of balance. After a few days of rest, I feel refreshed. What is there to be sick? Second aunt is worrying too much." Already!"

Mrs. Lu smiled, not paying much attention, and pulled closer to Hua Qiong, who was dressed in light yellow.Turning around and looking at Hua Zhong, "Third Miss is so elegant today!"

"I'm afraid you'll lose face in front of the princess if you dress like this? Isn't it embarrassing for the dignified lady of the prime minister's mansion!" Feng Qinyun scolded Mrs. Lu, "Aren't you the head of the prime minister's mansion now? Why are you so ignorant?"

"It doesn't matter!" Hua Zhong said indifferently, "I am not familiar with everyone, even if it is simple, no one cares about it."

When Mrs. Lu led everyone into the mansion, he happened to meet Mrs. Qin, the wife of Duke Zhen.

Qin asked with concern, "I haven't seen you for a long time, why is Madam Ning so much thinner? Her complexion is not very good either!"

Feng Qinyun frowned, then relieved Qin and said, "It's just that I'm tired and didn't sleep well. Mrs. Laozhen is very concerned about her!"

"Mother has broken her heart for our daughters. This is how she is exhausted. It's really a daughter's unfilial piety." Huayan's eyes were filled with guilt and tears.

The lady next to the Qin family smiled and took Huayan's hand, "Sister Yan, what are you talking about? Sister Yan is well known to everyone, she is gentle and virtuous, talented and beautiful. Although Shuangcheng has never seen how Sister Yan is at home, But seeing Lingtang love and pity you so much, you know that Sister Yan is kind, kind and filial. Why bother to blame yourself?"

This is Gu Shuangcheng, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?Dressed in a snow-green and delicate chrysanthemum skirt, with sleeves swaying in the wind, she has a graceful figure.In the previous life, I only heard that Gu Shuangcheng was also a strange girl in the world, dignified and steady, intelligent and virtuous, but unfortunately in the end, her good sister Ning Huayan ruined her reputation and committed suicide by hanging herself.

Hua Zhong sighed slightly, it's pitiful for this flower-like jade, talented and talented!

Huayan smiled slightly, a little lonely.He sneaked another glance at Hua Zhong, feeling extremely sad, as if Hua Zhong had bullied her.

Gu Shuangcheng also followed Huayan's eyes to look at Huazhong. That sky blue body with pearly luster was very refreshing!

Hua Zhong smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu came forward and introduced with a smile, "This is the only daughter of the county lord of Hengyang, and she is also the daughter-in-law of our prime minister's mansion. Her name is Hua Zhong! She doesn't come out often on weekdays, so it's no wonder Miss Gu doesn't recognize her."

When Gu Shuangcheng heard this, he looked at Huazhong curiously. On weekdays, he only heard that the daughter of the county lord of Hengyang was cowardly and cowardly, staying at home.Now it seems that it is beautiful, elegant and refined!So it seems that the rumors are not to be believed!But Huayan's glance just now made Gu Shuangcheng very puzzled!
Gu Shuangcheng said with a smile, "On weekdays, I only see Sister Yan and Sister Qiong, but I have never seen Sister Chong'er! Now that I see such a wonderful person, I feel vulgar and vulgar, and I wish I could go home and hide Wake up and see no one again."

"What did Sister Gu say?" Huayan frowned, and then glanced at Huazhong, with grievances in her eyes. "My sister has lost her biological mother since she was a child, and she is not used to the rules. She doesn't know how to behave when she doesn't go out for a long time. How can she be compared with Sister Gu? If Chong'er has some bad manners, I hope Sister Gu will forgive me. My sister apologizes."

Hua Yan's words are really a pun.Not only belittled Hua Zhong's motherless upbringing, ignorant of etiquette, but also put on the magnanimity of the elder sister for no reason, and blocked her younger sister!

Qin said with a smile, "Sisters are playing together, what's wrong with it? Missy is overthinking!"

This beautiful face is usually cute, cute, and generous, but why is her eyes twisted today?How wrong is it to say something again?It seems that Shuangcheng is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people!There was a trace of dissatisfaction in Qin's heart.

Gu Shuangcheng naturally heard the meaning, but ignored it.

Shuangcheng stepped forward and took Hua Zhong's hand, "I'm the same age as your elder sister, please don't blame me for calling you younger sister!"

Hua Zhong felt that Gu Shuangcheng had a clear heart and was indeed of outstanding virtue.

"Sister Shuangcheng was joking. My sister is named Huazhong. I have heard about it for a long time. Today I saw her, she is really noble and elegant. This kind of character is unmatched by women from thousands of aristocratic families in Kyoto!" Huazhong said with a smile. , no mistakes or omissions.

Hua Qiong had been standing aside, but now she opened her almond eyes curiously. "On weekdays, only people would praise my elder sister for her pretty face and graceful figure. Why did the third sister praise her strength and charm today? The fourth sister is puzzled!"

Hua Zhong smiled slightly, held Shuangcheng's hands slightly open, and looked at her, "Sister Shuangcheng is wearing chrysanthemums, is there any lady in the capital who wears them? Most of them like it very much. The chrysanthemums are noble, which is just right Sister Shuangcheng has a virtuous and virtuous disposition!"

Hua Zhong knew that Gu Shuangcheng was famously fond of chrysanthemums, and most of the famous ladies in Kyoto liked flowers, but very few of them liked the autumn flowers.Gu Shuangcheng's talent is naturally because he likes chrysanthemums!

Gu Shuangcheng's eyes were excited, "I met a bosom friend today! I would rather die with the fragrance on the branch than blown into the north wind. I like the integrity of chrysanthemums!"

Gu Shuangcheng glanced at Huayan, who lowered her head with a blushing face.Huayan and Gu Shuangcheng have known each other for a long time, but they never knew that there was such a passion in it.Gu Shuangcheng was slightly disappointed, but was fortunate enough to meet this Huazhong who never went out!
"Kids are very eloquent! After all, he has a clear mind, and Madam should take the third lady out for a walk more often!" Qin looked at Hua Zhong with a smile, a little more appreciative.

Feng Qinyun forced a smile, "Let's go to pay the princess well, and let the children play in the back garden! We are here and they are restrained."

Qin Shi nodded, turned around and left first.Lu's also followed, and before leaving, he told Hua Qiong's girl to take good care of her and make no mistakes.

"Let's go to the back garden! I heard that all the ladies are here today. It's the first time you come out today, and I'll show you." Gu Shuangcheng said to Huayan again, "Sister Yan, let's go there quickly!"

Huayan forced a smile and nodded.Seeing Hua Yan like this, Gu Shuangcheng felt somewhat clear in his heart.Let Hua Zhong and Hua Qiong go ahead and come to Hua Yan's side.

"Sister Gu..." Hua Yan frowned, but stopped talking.

Gu Shuangcheng smiled slightly, "I know what you think in your heart, but now I don't think Hua Zhong is rude, blunt, cowardly and cowardly. As her older sister, you should give her more. You have lost the protection of your biological mother, you just need to walk around with her more."

Huayan burst into tears, "Sister Gu doesn't know something. Although Chong'er has no mother since childhood, but my mother is her aunt and stepmother, how could she treat her harshly? But this time the mother's illness is... It's because of the weight of the flowers."

Gu Shuangcheng didn't know the reason, and it was inconvenient for most of them.But I always feel that a person who knows that Juhua Gaojie is so exquisite and clear would not have such scheming, and would not bother to do such things that are disrespectful to her stepmother and elder sister.

Gu Shuangcheng only patted Huayan's hand and said, "I'm afraid it's just a misunderstanding!"
