It was the beginning of spring in Taiyan, so Mrs. Xu posted a message and invited the Princess Regent to come to her house for a gathering.
The Xu family is one of the most famous families in Taiyan. The old man is granted a title by the Duke of the country, Mr. Xu is an important minister of the two dynasties and the head of the hall, and Mrs. Xu is also the daughter of a famous family and has a noble status. Such a Xu family is naturally qualified to invite the regent princess.
Since the regent princess has been invited, this small banquet must be made more serious. Mrs. Xu carefully selected the invitation list, for fear of missing some strange people entering the house.
Mrs. Xu had long heard that although the Princess Regent was from Qi State, she had rare beauty, so she actually coaxed the Prince Regent Xiao Jun, who was burdened with government affairs, to go all the way back to Jingling to marry her. In order to ensure the safety of the princess, the regent stayed at the Jingling Tomb in the fiefdom for a long time before returning to the capital.
The night before the small banquet, Mrs. Xu called her daughters, who were the legitimate concubines, and gave them careful instructions to please the Princess Regent.
After telling the ladies of the Xu family, Mrs. Xu felt relieved.
She slept peacefully all night and got up the next day to prepare for the small banquet. Not long after, I heard a carriage arriving at the gate with the Xiao family pattern on the wall. Mrs. Xu was overjoyed and said, "The regent must be here, go and invite her quickly."
Mrs. Xu looked solemn and took her daughter-in-law to the main entrance.
Who would have expected that the person who came in from the main entrance was not the Princess Regent.
A woman just crossed the threshold. She raised her head, saw Mrs. Xu's stiff expression, and gave a sarcastic smile, saying, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Mrs. Xu is very enthusiastic. She actually came to greet me in person, which makes me flattered."
The woman was about thirty years old, with a thin face and a pair of slightly squinted eyes that contained a hint of meanness. Her original appearance was considered beautiful, but her rather sarcastic look made her look a bit inhumane.
Mrs. Xu lowered her head, bowed, and said, "I have met Princess Haozhou. I wonder why Princess Haozhou came to the Xu family today?"
"I heard that you invited Princess Heyang of Qi to come, so I wanted to come and see what she looked like. She was able to charm my third brother," she said.
"It's unlucky that Princess Haozhou is here," Mrs. Xu said with a wooden face, "The list of invitations has been set long ago. Princess Haozhou is not on the list, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get my wish."
"What if I insist on getting my wish?" Princess Haozhou said with a cold expression.
"Please forgive me for not being able to fulfill my wish, Princess." Madam Xu showed no sign of weakness and said to the servant: "Send Princess Haozhou out."
"You!" Princess Haozhou lost her composure, pointed at Mrs. Xu angrily, and said in a sharp voice: "You don't want to toast and eat as a fine! If my prince knows about it, do you think Xu Zheng will be okay?!"
Although she yelled fiercely, she was just a woman after all. She was no match for a few servants, so she was still "invited" out of Xu's house.
Seeing that Princess Haozhou left the Xu Mansion, Mrs. Xu planned to go back and continue hosting the small banquet. However, her daughter Xu Mingyan felt uneasy and asked anxiously: "Aniang, Princess Haozhou is a member of the royal family no matter how you say it. If Aniang offends her like this, I'm afraid"
"Mingyan," Mrs. Xu glanced at her daughter and said seriously: "If Princess Haozhou comes to our house today, the whole little banquet will be in trouble. It doesn't matter if we make trouble with the Princess Regent, the Xu family will Tough luck.¡±
"making a fuss? Why make a fuss?" Xu Mingyan was still puzzled.
Mrs. Xu sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that the Prince Regent and the King of Haozhou are not at odds with each other? How can it be better if the Princess Regent and the Princess of Haozhou meet in the same place? There are so many 'either/or' things in this court. What's more, Princess Haozhou has never been favored by her husband. Even if she goes home and complains to King Haozhou, nothing will happen."
Xu Mingyan nodded in confusion.
It is well known in Quan Taiyan that Princess Haozhou cannot be favored.
It is said that the men of the Xiao family are infatuated, and the same is true for King Haozhou, but the infatuation is used in the wrong place. Xiao Feisu, the king of Haozhou, neglected his main concubine He, but doted on his concubine Ping very much. The He family has not been favored all year round, and she has become bitter and bitter. There are few people in Taiyan who can talk to her.
After Princess He of Haozhou left for a while, the carriage from the Prince Regent's Palace arrived, and Jiang Lingzhou got off the carriage.
Mrs. Xu stood at the door with Xu Mingyan. She raised her head and saw that the regent princess had a strange look despite her young age. She couldn't help but said "no wonder" in her heart.
No matter how much he is called a monster, the regent is still a man.
How many heroes can pass the beauty level? No wonder the Prince Regent was "bewitched."
"Meet the regent"Ba Di looked towards Jiang Lingzhou.
"It's a pity that Jiang Lingzhou went to drink tea, and all that was waiting for them was Aunt Lan's sharp, knife-like eyes, and the terrifying look on her aunt's mother's face.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly walked over, whispered something in Mrs. Xu's ear.
Mrs. Xu looked surprised and asked a few questions in a low voice, her face even more astonished. She glanced at Jiang Lingzhou uneasily, then put on a smile, walked up to Jiang Lingzhou, and said, "Princess, I have an unkind request"
Mrs. Xu didn¡¯t know how to express this request.
"Mrs. Xu, what's the matter?" Jiang Lingzhou asked.
"My wife" Mrs. Xu, who was smart, capable, and good at dancing, suddenly became incoherent: "My wife has a little son who likes to be lively. He saw the excitement in the garden and wanted to come in and take a look. Princess Regent, do you see?"
The State of Wei does not pay attention to the defense of men and women, and since he is the "youngest son", he must be younger than Xu Mingyan. Jiang Lingzhou glanced at Aunt Lan and saw that she didn't respond, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, let him come in and play."
Mrs. Xu showed a relieved expression.
That look was as if the person who was about to come in was not his youngest son, but some emperor or nobleman.
After a while, the floral brocade curtain hanging in the foyer was opened, and a tall and tall young man walked in. He put his hands behind his back and walked with his feet open, and his walking posture was quite carefree. He didn't look like a young master of the Xu family, but more like a businessman.
When he got closer, Jiang Lingzhou saw that this young man had an exceptionally handsome face, with thin skin and tender flesh, and a somewhat feminine outline. He looked like a beautiful young girl who had just grown up. There is also a tear mole under his eyes, which makes his eyes look tender and affectionate.
"I'm XuXuXu Dawu." The young man clasped his fists and made a random salute. After waiting for a long time, he called out a name: "Xu Dawu, I have met the regent princess."
Jiang Lingzhou always felt that this voice sounded familiar.
