Chapter 204

204 meet on a narrow road

Mrs. Zhong Cheng sighed. According to Li, she also posted a post to Princess Xindu, but never expected that Princess Xindu, who has always not attended these affairs, came for the first time. Mrs. Zhong Cheng is very embarrassed. She has heard a little about the marriage between Princess Xindu and the Regent's house. Now the two sides happen to meet... Doesn't it embarrass her?

"Tell me to go down and let the slaves have snacks. Don't let them meet together." Mrs. Zhong Cheng gave me a firm order.

In the reception hall, the old lady quietly picked up a new cup of tea offered by her maidservant and took a sip. Facing Shen Qingru and Xu Mingzhu, she smiled and said, "you can taste it quickly. The name of the tea is frightening and fragrant. It smells fragrant, and it tastes delicious."

The maid on one side replied with a smile: "what the old lady said is that my master ordered someone to buy this tea specially from summer. A handful of gold is enough for ten plants. We smell it very frightening."

Xu Mingzhu absently took two sips of tea. Shen Qingru looked at her in surprise. However, as soon as Xu Mingzhu's line of sight touched her, she quickly turned her head.

Although Xu Mingzhu has always disliked her, her attitude today is really strange. Shen Qingru lightly drank a mouthful of tea, which frightens Renxiang. In the summer, it has a popular name - Biluochun. However, the Turks dislike this name, which is not easy to remember. It is not as straightforward as frightening Renxiang, so they still call it frightening Renxiang.

Looking out from the reception hall, the imperial Shi Zhongcheng's residence is resplendent and dazzling. Looking down from their position, the scenery of Zhongcheng's residence can be seen at a glance. Pavilions, waterside pavilions, corridors, and even outside the window, a transparent glazed flower pool has been specially built. The koi in the pool swim around. When the sun shines, the colorful pebbles at the bottom of the water reflect colorful light, which looks particularly beautiful.

The bustling crowd downstairs were all the courtiers and family members who came to congratulate. The imperial historian Zhongcheng was very smooth and trusted by the emperor. His wife was also good at dancing with long sleeves and was quite famous in the imperial capital ladies' circle. Therefore, almost all the courtiers with some identities in the court came. The old princess also saw many acquaintances and introduced Shen Qingru and Xu Mingzhu one by one.

Somehow, the right way to meet the guests was suddenly emptied, covered with soft and thick brocade, all the way to the reception hall. The slaves and maidservants of Zhongcheng mansion knelt on both sides of the main road, holding fragrant powder and flower dew in their hands. Mrs. Zhong Cheng bent down and knelt at the head, which surprised the old princess. Which guest can have such a big battle?

The two well-dressed maidservants got out of the car and ordered the maidservants in the prime minister's house. Even the prime minister's wife had to accompany the smiling face and greet the two maidservants attentively. After the maidservants finished their orders, they all returned to the carriage. Two guards in strong clothes knelt on the ground. An embroidered shoe inlaid with the Pearl of the East China Sea fell on the guard's back. The feet in embroidered shoes were white and delicate, and a foot ring with a golden bell was also worn at the ankle. The breeze blew and made a jingling sound, which was unspeakable charming and enchanting.

As soon as Shen Qingru saw these feet, he knew who the visitor was. In Turk, who can openly make this charming and enchanting dress up and let the wife of the Royal historian Zhong Cheng kneel to welcome, except the princess of Xindu?

From her point of view, you can see that Princess Xindu is wearing a light gold skirt embroidered with green jade calyx plum, and a big red fox hair cloak, which makes her skin as white as snow. She stepped on the soft brocade step by step. Her skirt swayed and graceful. It can be said that she grew lotus step by step.

"Why is she here?" the old princess exclaimed, but her disgust could not be concealed in her tone. Princess Xindu has always had a bad reputation in Turks. Even if she is a princess, few people in Turkic women's circle are willing to associate with her. They are all good women who follow the rules. If they intersect with the dissolute role of Princess Xindu, wouldn't it make people misunderstand that they are also those restless women?

The old princess hated such frivolous women. In addition, she heard the gratitude and resentment between Princess Xindu and Shen Qingru from gning, and her heart became more and more vigilant. Had known that Mrs. Zhong Cheng invited Princess Xindu, she would never bring her granddaughter to the banquet. It's an insult to her two decent and polite girls to share a room with people like Princess Xindu!

"Let's go." the old lady coldly put down a word and got up to leave. In a panic, the slaves and maidservants of the prime minister's house knelt down one after another. The old lady is a distinguished guest of their residence. If she left like this, how would they explain to her wife?

"I beg the old lady to pity my maidservants, at least wait until my wife comes back." the leading maidservant kowtowed to the ground and begged the old lady pitifully.

"Yes, grandma, not to mention the friendship between the Chinese Prime Minister and her grandmother for many years, it's the princess of Xindu... When she comes, let's go. Isn't it a clear refutation of her face?" Xu Mingzhu, who hasn't spoken for a long time, advised the old princess: "after all, it's the daughter of empress Yan Ruhuang. Offending her is offending the queen, I'm afraid it's not very good."

Shen Qingru's eyes fell on Xu Mingzhu, who was anxiously comforting the old princess, and her eyes were secretive.

The old lady hesitated. The relationship between the Regent's house and queen Yan Ru has always been tense. She naturally knows the reasons. After all, Yan Ruyi holds half of the military power of Turks. The second prince born to Queen Yan Ruyi is now a hot candidate for the throne of Prince. If it's not necessary, she really doesn't want to offend queen Yan Ruyi.

"Qingru, what do you think?" the old princess finally threw the problem to Shen Qingru. She really doesn't want Shen Qingru to deal with the unruly and domineering Princess of Xindu, but Mingzhu also makes sense. If it's not necessary, the Regent's palace really doesn't want to tear her face with queen Yan Ru.

Shen Qingru smiled faintly: "grandma, sister Mingzhu is right. We left directly. Not only did we lose the face of the prime minister, but also gave the princess Xindu the opportunity to sue the queen. Since we have come, let it be. The princess Xindu was reprimanded last time. It is expected that she will not do anything impolite in public now."

The old princess hesitated a little, and finally nodded.

To Shen Qing's surprise, Princess Xindu didn't get a lesson at all. Instead, she stepped up her efforts, openly carrying the handsome man Wu San in front of all the ladies. Princess Xindu openly asked Wu San to sit next to her. The two whispered and joked in front of everyone. Their bodies were almost close together for fear that others would not know that Wu San brought his own face.

The people around whispered, and even the old princess shook her head: "it's getting more and more outrageous." empress Yan Ru played with power. Although her reputation is not much better, at least her behavior is regular and won't arouse criticism. But her two daughters are both frivolous and debauchery masters, especially the princess of Xindu, which has refreshed the lower limit of a woman's reputation. Even compared with Princess Xindu, Pan Jinlian can be called a chaste martyr. At least Pan Jinlian only stole XiMenqing, while the minister under the skirt of Princess Xindu is like a crucian carp crossing the river, countless.

However, Princess Xindu has a long relationship with Wu San. The face she raised was not ten thousand, but also three thousand. The longest was just being in love with her. She was tired in January, but she always took Wu San with her until now. I have to say that this rogue named Wu San not only has a good skin bag, but also has great skills in dealing with women, which is very popular with women.

But what does Wu San, as a face, think? Thousands of miles away from home, the only life-saving straw around is Princess Xindu. Once she is tired of herself, there is only one way to die waiting for him. He tried his best to curry favor with Princess Xindu. Although he won her favor temporarily, how long can this favor last?

It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Shen Qingru believes that Wu San must have a hard time around Princess Xindu. Although he has good clothes and food, he has to worry about losing favor every day. He may be expelled from the princess's house and live on the streets at any time. His face is not easy.

Princess Xindu flirted with her face as if there were no one else, but Shen Qingru could feel that Princess Xindu's eyes were always sweeping gently from her face, and her eyes were full of yin and prey.

The banquet was somewhat like a Hongmen banquet. Shen Qingru's lips aroused a sneer.

Princess Xindu's eyes swept over again, and her gorgeous lips opened with a smile: "Hey, this girl is looking at her face. I don't know who is the daughter of the adult's house?"

The old princess immediately became vigilant and looked back at the princess of Xindu with bright eyes. Her tone was neither humble nor high: "Princess Hui, this is my granddaughter. She has been wandering outside since childhood. She has just returned to the house recently, so the princess has never seen her."

If Princess Xindu wants to be disadvantageous to Shen Qingru, she will never let the other party succeed even if she has fought her old life!

"The little girl has seen her royal highness." Shen Qingru leaned lightly and made a courtesy.

Princess Xindu covered her mouth and smiled happily: "it's the legacy of Uncle gening. Congratulations to Uncle Wang and the old lady. Come, sister, I'll give you a toast here. Congratulations on finding your home."

Princess Xindu quickly looked up and saw the bottom in the wine glass. Her gorgeous face added a little more color. She boldly turned the wine glass over to show the people. Her wide sleeves fell on her elbows, revealing a white and slender arm. She was really radiant while taking advantage of her bright red dress.

The golden wine cup was full of wine and placed on the table in front of Shen Qingru.

"Wait!" the old lady shouted.

"What does the old lady mean?" Princess Xindu showed displeasure.

"Qingru is not good at drinking. Please allow her to use tea instead of wine..." the old princess hurriedly stopped. Isn't there something strange in the wine? She can't let Shen Qingru take risks.

"Oh?" Princess Xindu said with a cold smile, "I heard that my sister's drinking capacity is very good. Why is she not good at drinking now? Isn't it Qingru's sister who despises my palace?"
