Chapter 47 I don't agree with this marriage
The third princess is too suspicious.
These two guards are the emperor's confidants. As long as it is related to the emperor's safety, they must report it, even the third princess is no exception.
The news that Shen Muxin's bedroom was destroyed spread quickly. She felt particularly embarrassed and didn't even want to attend the banquet.
This birthday banquet was a dinner party. The maids and guards got up before dawn and were busy.
In the afternoon, the ministers brought their families into the palace one after another.
The banquet venue was specially arranged in advance with a high-level formation to ward off the cold, so that it would not feel cold even at night.
The banquet venue was arranged in the open space in the center of Merlin.
A few days ago, there was a heavy snowfall. Before Shen Qingtang entered the plum forest, a faint and elegant plum fragrance came to his nose. From a distance, the thick white snow covered the entire plum forest, and the red plum blossoms dotted it.
Today is a matchmaking meeting for the children of high-ranking officials. The Queen organized the meeting. The young men and women dressed up specially. Maybe today they can meet the other half of their lives.
The Queen was in a good mood today and came out early to appreciate the plum blossoms.
The ladies followed Mu Wan slowly, talking and laughing, looking very pleasing to the eye.
This scene caused a lot of discussion.
"Isn't that Lin Zhiwei, the eldest daughter of Minister Lin? How come she is so close to the Empress?"
"That's right. I've never heard that Lin Zhiwei and the Empress have a good relationship before?"
"Can't you see that? It's obvious that the Empress has taken a fancy to Miss Lin."
"Lin Zhiwei is a well-known beauty in the imperial city. It's not surprising that the Empress has taken a fancy to her."
Someone whispered, "I heard that Madam Xiao often came to the palace to visit the Empress before, and she always left with a smile. Many people are saying that the Empress has taken a fancy to Xiao Hening. Why has she changed now?" "
Those are all groundless things. They can't be counted. In the end, the Empress has the final say on who will be chosen."
"That's right."
They only dared to whisper to each other and dared not discuss it openly.
Shen Qingtang walked into the plum forest and strolled around, admiring the beautiful snow scene.
[Don't say that this place is quite beautiful, the royal family knows how to enjoy themselves.]
After a while, Shen Qingtang saw Mu Wan and others, and Mu Wan was followed by a girl in blue.
She wore a white jade hairpin on her head, a Pisces and a flat jade pendant on her waist, her skin was as white as cream, her lips were as red as red, and the hem of her skirt was gently lifted in the breeze. She was a top beauty.
Shen Qingtang's eyelids jumped.
[Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Lin Zhiwei? When did she become so familiar with my mother?]
[Does my mother want Miss Lin to be the Crown Princess? No, I don't agree with this marriage!]
Shen Qingtang's eyes turned slightly, and she saw Xiao Hening standing in the crowd with a look of loss in her eyes. She stared at Lin Zhiwei closely, with a resentful expression on her face as if her husband had been robbed.
[I'll take Xiao Hening with me to mess things up for you.]
[Xiao Hening has bullied me so many times in the past, I would be sorry to myself if I don't make good use of her.]
Lu Jiuan followed Shen Qingtang silently, her eyes and heart were all about her. Today was the last day he and Shen Qingtang would spend together.
Shen Qingtang came to Xiao Hening's side.
"Miss Xiao."
The sudden voice in her ears scared Xiao Hening. She was completely immersed in her own world and didn't even notice someone approaching.
"Fourth Princess."
Xiao Hening was a little angry at first, but when she thought of so many people present, she didn't want to lose her temper.
"Miss Xiao, why are you standing here alone? Why don't you go and chat with them?" Shen Qingtang asked deliberately.
Xiao Hening looked embarrassed, and then smiled awkwardly: "I'm waiting for the third princess here."
Of course she wanted to go over, but not to talk to the other ladies, but to talk to the Empress!
But now the Empress was only talking to Lin Zhiwei, and she had no room to interrupt.
In fact, she had taken the initiative to go to the Empress before, but she was inexplicably squeezed out! She
didn't even get to say a word, which made her so angry!
Shen Qingtang knew that Xiao Hening was just making up an excuse, so he didn't expose her: "My sister is still dealing with other things, and she probably won't be here for a while."
"Come on, you come with me. Today is my mother's birthday, and we can have fun together."
"My eldest brother and second brother should be here soon." Shen Qingtang added casually.
[I don't believe that Xiao Hening would watch Shen Junlin marry someone else with her eyes wide open.]
When she heard that Shen Junlin was coming, Xiao Hening nodded immediately: "Thank you, Fourth Princess, let's go together."
Xiao Hening didn't know why Shen Qingtang was so nice to her all of a sudden, but in order to get Shen Junlin, she couldn't care less now.
Xiao Hening was so happy that someone was bridging the gap for her.
Shen Qingtang deliberately took Xiao Hening to the front of Mu Wan.
"Mother." Shen Qingtang bowed obediently.
Shen Qingtang is doing things more and more steadily now, and the meals for this birthday banquet are also arranged neatly, and Mu Wan is very satisfied.
"Qingtang, come here quickly." Mu Wan smiled slightly and pulled her to her side.
"Your servant greets the Empress." Xiao Hening smiled what she thought was a perfect smile and called out sweetly.
Mu Wan glanced at her indifferently and said "hmm". Mu
Wan always remembered that Shen Qingtang had said that Xiao Hening was one of the reasons that led to the demise of Fengyin.
No matter how well-behaved and sensible Xiao Hening seemed on the surface, Mu Wan would not let her be the Crown Princess.
Mu Wan deliberately treated Xiao Hening coldly so that she would give up.
Xiao Hening was ignored by the Empress in person, which made her very embarrassed.
Didn't her mother tell her before that the Empress was optimistic about her?
Why is the Empress so cold to her suddenly?
Xiao Hening's eyes were slightly moist, and she felt very aggrieved.
Shen Qingtang saw this and hurriedly smiled and pulled Xiao Hening to her side: "Miss Xiao, follow me."
"Thank you, Fourth Princess." Xiao Hening was very moved. She didn't expect that the person who spoke for her at the critical moment was Shen Qingtang, whom she had always looked down upon.
"Qingtang, this is the eldest daughter of Minister Lin's family, Lin Zhiwei."
In the past two months, Mu Wan sent many people to find out about Lin Zhiwei's background.
In order to avoid her previous superficial mistakes, Mu Wan understood every aspect of Lin Zhiwei thoroughly this time.
After this investigation, Mu Wan was very satisfied with Lin Zhiwei.
In her heart, she already regarded Lin Zhiwei as her own daughter-in-law.
After all, we will be a family in the future, so it is only right to get to know the family members in advance.
"I have met the fourth princess." Lin Zhiwei bowed.
Lin Zhiwei had heard rumors about Shen Qingtang, but she always believed in her own judgment and would not dislike Shen Qingtang because of a few rumors.
You can only know whether a person is good or not by meeting him in person.
"Miss Lin is fine." Shen Qingtang nodded slightly, looking Lin Zhiwei up and down.
