Chapter 592 This flower viewing banquet is a bit abnormal!
As soon as these words were spoken, undisguised laughter rang out all around, causing the two servants who were guarding the mistress to turn pale and pale. They wished they could take the mistress away from here immediately to avoid losing face again.
Looking at the two men who had just stopped, they had already left with Lin Yuzan, but looking at their backs, one could tell that they were in a very unhappy mood.
Just at this moment, a housekeeper came rushing over after hearing the news, saved Leng Mengwan and her two servants from their predicament, and led them in another direction.
The farce finally ended, leaving the onlookers with an enduring topic.
As the host, Chen Jiaoyi was already red with anger. She twisted her handkerchief vigorously and said angrily, "This Miss Leng is too shameful. She has simply defiled my family's land. No, I'm going to find my grandmother and drive this lunatic out."
Before she finished her words, she left her classmates and walked away quickly.
Liu Zhenying looked at her leaving figure and shook her head helplessly. She took on the responsibility of being the host for her friend and said to Xiao Yining, "This Jiaojiao is always in a hurry. Princess sister, I will take you to visit the old lady, and then go to the place where we play. Our classmates have already gathered there and are waiting for us."
Xiao Yining nodded absentmindedly, but his eyes glanced at the woman who had just started to mock him.
The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, and a beautiful smile, looking dignified and bright.
Noticing the boy's gaze, the woman turned around and bowed gracefully.
Xiao Yining: ??? ? ???, the enemy of my enemy is my good friend.
The little kid quickly responded with a big sweet smile and watched her leave.
Liu Zhenying watched the interaction between the two and introduced them in a low voice: "That is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Jiang Shuyan. She is 18 years old and has not been engaged yet. Two years ago, she whipped her concubine sister in the street and gained a reputation as an arrogant and domineering woman.
"On the eve of the wedding, she even scared her fiancé into breaking off the engagement, and since then no one has dared to propose marriage. Now her sisters are all married, leaving her alone at home."
Jiang Shuyan?
Xiao Yining's eyes lit up slightly, and he became even more certain that this person was his friend.
In the book, this person is a vicious female supporting role who would beat the heroine violently. She whipped the heroine more than ten times in the street before she won the hero's heart.
However, this person had a tragic ending, which was described in detail. At a banquet, she was framed and had intimate contact with a military officer in his forties, and had no choice but to marry him. In the end, she was beaten to a pulp and died in the street on the day of her divorce.
And now, this supporting actress appeared in front of Xiao Yining and confronted the heroine.
While sighing over her future fate, the little kid couldn't help but clasp his hands together, his eyes sparkling with admiration, and exclaimed: "This sister is amazing!"
Liu Zhenying: ???_?''??, did you understand what I am saying?
The little girl sighed silently, and without further delay, took her to see Old Lady Chen.
At that time, little Yining finally had time to visit the Mansion of Duke Chen. As a family with great achievements, the Mansion of Duke Chen was more luxurious and magnificent than the Mansion of Marquis Wu'an.
As you walk, you will see a new scene with every step. The roadside is dotted with flowers, like a beautiful painting with pleasant fragrance, which shows the care put into it.
She followed Liu Zhenying through the long corridor, occasionally glancing at the pretty maids who were walking around with smiles on their faces, arranging the tables and chairs, and placing exquisite refreshments, all in her determination to make the guests happy.
As the little boy walked along, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: How much money will it cost to hold this flower-viewing banquet!
While she was thinking, Liu Zhenying's cheerful voice came from the front: "Sister Yining, Old Lady Chen has also built a stage and invited the most famous opera troupe in Yanjing. We will have a feast for our eyes this afternoon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around embarrassedly and looked at the little kid: "I forgot again, I should call you Princess Sister."
Xiao Yining didn't care about it: "It doesn't matter how Sister Liu yells."
When Liu Zhenying heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "I knew that Sister Yining and I must be different. From now on, I will call you Sister Yining in private."
Little Yining blinked her eyes, looked at the little sister's happy expression, and nodded indifferently.
Liu Zhenying was even happier. She even held the hand that had been loosened, and walked forward with the little kid, continuing, "We will soon arrive at the old lady's Fu'an Hall. There are many ladies there, but don't be afraid, sister Yining. They all need to stand up and bow to you. You only need to bow to the old lady. She is a super first-class lady."
Although her father had already mentioned these things before coming, the little girl still nodded seriously to her sister's special reminder and replied, "I know, Sister Liu."
The emotional value was given quite well. The older sister even walked a few points faster, pulling the younger baby so hard that he had to jog to keep up with her.
Xiao Yining: >_<|||, this guy must be running a dyeing room!
At this moment, the sound of Chen Jiaoyi's argument came into the little boy's ears from Fu'an Hall in front.
She said angrily, "Grandmother, why do you insist on keeping Miss Leng here? Wasn't it enough that she lost face at the door just now? If she causes trouble in the courtyard later, we will all lose face with her."
Then, a stern voice that sounded old but kind rang out: "Jiaoyi, how can you yell in front of the guests? It's impolite. This Miss Leng is the granddaughter of Prince Yu. She is just innocent and naive, so it's inevitable that she will act on impulse. As the host, we should be more tolerant."
"Well, your mother has sent someone to look after them. You don't have to worry about it. Go out and accompany your classmates. Don't let others think you are neglecting them."
A trace of thought flashed across little Yining's eyes. She quietly raised her eyes and looked at the little sister beside her. She seemed normal. Apparently, the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren had not reached her ears.
She looked forward again and saw Chen Jiaoyi walking out of Fu'an Hall with a depressed face.
Chen Jiaoyi also noticed the arrival of her friends, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she hurriedly shouted: "Sister Princess, Yingzi, you guys come over here!"
Liu Zhenying glanced at her helplessly, then she and her took the baby up and walked back into Fu'an Hall.
At this moment, everyone in Fu'an Hall heard the sound and stood up. When they saw the little figure stepping over the threshold, they bowed and said in unison: "Greetings to Princess Le'an."
If it were any other time, little Yining would have been filled with vanity when she saw this scene, but now she had something on her mind. She glanced at all the ladies, and seeing that her mother and grandmother were not among them, she just nodded, responded symbolically, and asked them to stand up.
Then, she let go of the little girl's hand, walked straight to Old Lady Chen, bowed, and called out in a baby voice, "Good health to Old Lady Chen!"
Old Lady Chen came over and took the little kid's hand: "She is really a lovely girl. No wonder the Emperor and the Empress Dowager dote on Princess Le'an so much. I just took one look at her and I can't wait to give her a kiss."
She pulled Xiao Yining to sit beside her and continued, "No wonder my father-in-law refused to return home. With such a cute little girl to look at every day, how could he not be happy? I'm afraid he would even eat a few more bites of rice."
This remark immediately attracted the echoes from all the ladies present.
For a moment, words praising the baby's cuteness were like cheap goods, constantly entering the baby's ears.
However, Xiao Yining was not as complacent as everyone expected. He still had the same smile on his face, sat calmly in his seat, and watched everyone talking.
No one knew that in her heart she was complaining about the virtuous and respected old lady beside her, who lied without thinking and put the blame of Duke Chen's moving in separately on her head.
Gradually, the ladies stopped talking, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They exchanged glances secretly, and the atmosphere became subtle.
Madam Liu held the handkerchief and tapped her nose, hiding the smile on her lips, and handed over a ladder: "A few days ago, when I attended the palace banquet, I saw Princess Le'an sitting next to the emperor, holding a book and muttering to herself, and I thought Princess Le'an was well-behaved and sensible. But today, I see that this is not the case. Old Madam, don't keep Princess Le'an by your side. You see, Jiaojiao and Yingzi are looking forward to taking her out to play!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Chen blamed herself: "Look at me, I was so happy to see Princess Le'an that I forgot that she came to play with my granddaughter. I was so foolish. Princess, please don't blame me."
After saying that, she winked at the housekeeper beside her, took a brown box, and opened it in front of Xiao Yining: "This is a little gift from me, Princess, take it and play with it!"
Xiao Yining lowered her eyes to look at the item in the box, which was an extremely exquisite necklace and a set of bracelets.
With the knowledge from her previous life, she recognized at a glance that this thing was made of tourmaline and agate, and must be worth a lot of money.
As expected, someone below praised her and said, "This necklace is really beautiful. Why don't you help the princess wear it and let us take a look at it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several voices echoed the proposal.
Little Yining lowered her head to look at the peace lock on her chest. This outfit was specially put together by her mother. If she wore this necklace with it, it would definitely look out of place.
The ancients always paid attention to what they wore, and the powerful and wealthy were even more so. If they dressed incorrectly, they would definitely be laughed at.
But at this moment, the little girl suddenly remembered what Princess Anping said, so she did not refuse. Instead, she said, "Thank you, Old Lady Chen," and stretched her head over, allowing her to put the necklace lock on her.
Then, another lady suggested, "Ah, why don't you take off Princess Le'an's safety lock? This necklace can better show your status than the safety lock."
Old Lady Chen tilted her head and glanced, then nodded, agreeing with what the man said.
But surprisingly, the child who was so well-behaved just now shook his head firmly, held up the safety lock and refused, saying: "Grandma Chen, you can't take off my safety lock. My uncle put it on me."
Everyone:......
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally harmonious atmosphere froze instantly, and many people changed their expressions.
Princess Le'an has only one great uncle - Emperor Shengwu, Sheng Jingchen.
