Chapter 406 Strong rejection
The queen mother smiled and groaned, and joked: "You little rascal, on weekdays you take twenty or thirty treasures from Ai's family, Ai's family sees you as a little money fanatic, you really want everything you want. "
Princess Xiwei smiled coquettishly, and worked harder to massage her shoulders. At the same time, the youngest daughter's family said coquettishly: "Oh, the emperor's grandmother is always teasing Wei'er. It's obviously the emperor's grandmother's treasure, which is so rare~"
The Queen Mother was so teased that she couldn't help laughing, Jiaojiao was left aside, and Princess Jinyuan ignored her.
Wang's family was very anxious to see, the queen got up suddenly, smiled and pulled Jiaojiao to sit beside her, and even brought some food for her.
Zong'er didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of the emperor's grandmother, so he could only sneak a braised lion's head while no one was paying attention, and kept winking the eyes of Aunt Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao also secretly winked at him, then waved to the mother and the others with a relaxed expression on her face.
She came here just to thank the Empress Dowager, so other things will not affect her. She doesn't like to talk so much with her.
Liu Zhihua, who always pays attention to Guaibao, is relieved to see this, and complains in her heart that this palace is really not for people.
Princess Jinyuan was still standing where she was, pinching her handkerchief angrily.
She is such a big living person, she just saluted the Queen Mother first, but the Queen Mother was fooled by Xi Wei's sycophant, as if she couldn't see her.
Concubine De saw her daughter being wronged, her face was naturally displeased, she squeezed her handkerchief and said: "Princess Xiwei is so pleasing to others, I don't know which man will be lucky enough to marry in the future."
Princess Xi Wei's face froze when she heard that, she had already suffered a setback from Rong Yan just now, these words sounded particularly harsh at the moment.
She bit her lip, and a trace of tension immediately appeared on her lively face just now, and she looked at the Queen Mother helplessly.
The Queen Mother liked this lively girl, so she glanced at Concubine De, patted the back of Xi Wei's hand and said with a smile: "Wei'er is naturally a good person. When it comes to finding someone, Jin Yuan is one year older than Xi Wei. Not too young, Concubine De needs to pay more attention."
In front of so many people, Concubine De's face was a little uneasy when the Empress Dowager spoke so bluntly, but there was nothing she could do, she could only hold the veil tightly, bit her lips and replied: "Yes."
Princess Jinyuan's face was even more dull. The Queen Mother said these words in front of so many people, wasn't she just telling everyone that Princess Jinyuan was inferior to Princess Xiwei!
She is having a hard time, and Xi Wei, a bitch, shouldn't be having a hard time either.
Princess Jinyuan smiled and walked to Xi Wei's side, pulled her with an affectionate look, and said: "Wei'er, my sister's marriage has been decided by the emperor, didn't you tell my sister last time that you have someone you like? For today's banquet, it is better to let the emperor's grandmother decide to give you a marriage."
Princess Xi Wei's face changed suddenly when she heard this, she grabbed her hand with her backhand, looked at her threateningly, and said with a smile: "My sister forgot, it was Cousin Yan that day."
Princess Jinyuan also squeezed her wrist hard, and smiled without fear: "Really, I heard my sister praise the national teacher that day. Could it be that cousin Yan also likes the national teacher?"
Xi Wei gritted her teeth and looked at Jin Yuan, her voice became a bit serious: "Cousin Yan has a marriage contract with the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and the two are in love, sister, don't talk nonsense."
Princess Jinyuan smiled apologetically, covered her mouth and said with a light smile, "That's why my sister likes it."
Princess Xiwei didn't expect that she would dare to say it in public. She was a little nervous and angry at first, but when she really said these words, she didn't even feel a little bit of joy in her heart.
Even if she only knows, so what, her status as a dignified princess of the Jin Dynasty is also worthy of the Rong family, and even more worthy of the national teacher. She doesn't think that this will harm her, right?
She happened to be worried that there was no place to mention this matter, and it would be a joy to speak it through her mouth.
Princess Xi Wei's complexion was gentle, and a hint of shame suddenly appeared on her cheeks, and she said softly: "Master Guoshi is naturally good, and whoever does not worship the Jin women, Xi Wei naturally admires it."
Jiaojiao, who was eating the fish head, was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked up at Princess Xiwei.
She, likes Brother Yan?
Seeing Princess Xiwei's shy face, the fish head in Jiaojiao's mouth is no longer fragrant.
Princess Jinyuan didn't expect her to say that, and she choked.
The queen mother frowned and looked at Wei'er. No wonder she introduced so many princes from aristocratic families who were not to her liking. She actually missed the national teacher.
As soon as the explosive news came out, the female relatives present whispered to each other.
Liu Zhihua's expression was expressionless. The men and women were unmarried, so it had nothing to do with their family anyway. It's just good that the national teacher can find someone else.
Bao Ya glanced at Princess Xiwei above. The national teacher has a handsome face, and it is normal for a woman to admire her, but it is a pity that the national teacher has her own heart. This princess is probably going to be disappointed.
Mrs. Rong was the one who got the most attention. Several wives smiled and congratulated her in private. Princess Xiwei is a well-known virtuous woman. Not only is she backed by the royal family, but the strength of the Fang family of Concubine Fang's mother's family should not be underestimated. Close, if the Rong family can really marry Princess Xiwei, the status of the strong marriage will definitely be raised to a higher level.
Ms. Rong's face was indifferent, and she said to those who were joking, "Don't be joking, everyone. My son is practicing with hair. Such casual remarks will offend the Buddha, so please respect yourself."
Their family has long been dissatisfied with the royal family, how could they marry a princess back.
Besides, Yan'er now has someone she likes, so she naturally won't let these people talk nonsense.
Jiaojiao's eyes rounded when she heard this, and then she smiled with her lips curled up, and then ate the snacks on the table with big mouthfuls.
Everyone was frightened by Mrs. Rong's reaction. They didn't expect her to speak out directly, and her words were very indifferent.
The high-ranking empress dowager and concubines were all there, and everyone shut their mouths in embarrassment, not daring to say anything else.
The Empress Dowager frowned even deeper, and glanced at the female relatives of the Rong family, but finally said nothing.
Princess Xiwei naturally also heard Madam Rong's words, her face was a little ugly at the moment, Rong Yan looked down on her, and now even his mother refused so politely.
Princess Jinyuan looked smug, if there was no one around, she would really be able to laugh out loud.
Let her be proud of the spring breeze, but now she is rejected by Mrs. Rong in front of so many people, it is estimated that everyone will know about it tomorrow.
Concubine De was even more relaxed, no one else dared to speak, she got up and smiled and said: "What's the matter, the national teacher has never been close to women, and he is a half-Buddhist family, so it is impossible for children to love each other. Xi Wei is young, It’s normal to not understand these things.”
It's a pity that no one dared to answer.
The empress smoothed things over with a smile: "Okay, today's banquet is mainly for viewing flowers and having fun. The ice-skin mung bean cake I ate was very delicious. What do you think?"
"The empress will choose, this dim sum is thin and filling, very delicious."
"Mung bean cake can also be made into quicksand-like appearance, the royal chef in the palace is really good at it..."
Everyone was very cooperative and praised the pastry one after another, and everyone who winked did not mention anything else.
After comforting everyone, the queen smiled and said to the queen mother: "The queen mother should also try it, this snack is soft and easy to digest."
