Princess Xin'an married a man from the Yuan family of Hebei, and was given the title of Duke of the Imperial Household. The Imperial Household was also handsome and a famous general from the Qianniu Guard. The princess's mansion was even more magnificent. The scene of the princess's marriage was a feast for the eyes of the common people in the capital.
Although Princess Xin'an's future fate might not be really good, it is undoubted that as long as the emperor is alive, she will still be the most favored princess.
Yurong was reading a copy of Zuo Zhuan in the carriage. Her attire today was completely different from before. She wore a plain white Zen robe, with only a golden hairpin in her hair and a flower ornament on her brow. She looked more pitiful and graceful than before.
La Mei didn't understand: "Miss, you will be the future wife of the Wei family. Why don't you wear the red one? It will make you look rich and noble, and no less beautiful than anyone else."
"The Wei family has been controlled by Princess Xin'an for many years. Wei Xuanning, with his great talent, cannot enter officialdom and can only be a lieutenant general. This is all thanks to Princess Xin'an. Do you really think that the identity of the young lady of the Wei family will allow me to be invincible? You are too naive." Yurong closed the book.
Bi Tao quickly put the book away, thinking to herself, this young lady has been reading this page of "Zheng Bo Ke Duan Yu Yan" for the whole morning, and I don't know why?
Halfway through the journey, there was a lot of noise and bustle. Yurong peeked out through the curtains in the carriage and smelled the aroma of various snacks, which made people feel hungry.
This feeling of freshness made Yurong couldn't help but smile.
Some people's happiness is very simple. They can smile just by eating a bowl of wontons.
Some people already have more, but are still not satisfied.
Princess Xin'an invited her to come over for tea tasting, which was not surprising. The noble ladies in Kyoto loved tea-tasting the most, and Yulian from the fifth room was an expert among them. However, Yurong rarely participated because her father held a low-ranking official position.
After arriving at the princess's mansion, Bitao handed in her visiting card and was greeted by a female official. Princess Xin'an held a banquet and many guests came and went. When she came in, no one responded to her, as if she were a wandering soul.
"Sister, we have come here on the invitation from the princess, but where are we going?" La Mei asked, pulling a female official aside.
The female official was stunned by Yurong's expression at first, then she said coldly: "Have you never attended a banquet? How could our princess care so much?"
In fact, the female officials also felt that it was not appropriate, but how could a servant go against the princess's wishes? Yurong knew that the princess was probably extremely crazy. She was probably very clear about her situation, but she could not change it. She would have to survive in the hands of her enemies in the future, so she was ready to throw the jar into the ground.
At this time, Yurong stood up and couldn't help but say, "It's our fault now."
In the inner room, Princess Xin'an said to Qingyi, "Everything has been arranged, right? You should know what to do later, right?"
Qingyi immediately bowed her head: "Please rest assured, Princess. We have already made arrangements for Master Chen. Once she steps through this door, she can't escape."
Princess Xin'an's eyes were red with tears. Her father had promised her marriage, but the man she was marrying was a Lu man who only loved vanity, and her father was in poor health. Her life was very difficult. Everyone knew that she was a castle in the air, but now that she could see others unhappy, she had to do it.
The betrayal given to her by Wei Xuanning made her hate Gao Xiang even more than he did.
If I let him wear a green hat first, with Duke Chen's bad mouth, I don't know what kind of rumors will spread. He will be a cuckold for the rest of his life. Let's see if he will regret it...
But she just wanted him to regret it for the rest of his life.
"Princess, Miss Yang wants to see you."
She still had to save face. After taking action against Yang Yurong, the next target was Gao Xiang's daughter. She had to at least be more restrained when it came to Yang Yurong.
Princess Xin'an sorted out her clothes and said, "Let her in."
Soon a woman in white came in. Her every move seemed to tell everyone that she was a beauty with icy skin and delicate bones. She tied her hair up with just a hairpin, which was enough to stun the whole audience.
After Yurong came in, she greeted him earnestly, "I, the humble girl Yurong, greet your Highness the Princess. May the Princess be blessed with good health."
"Oh, it's Miss Yang. We have prepared a lot of good tea here today. You must taste it carefully." Princess Xin'an said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I have prepared something for you. I wonder if you like it?"
She presented a rectangular gift box, and Qingyi, the maid of Princess Xin'an, came over to take it. Yurong suddenly said, "Princess, don't you want to open it and take a look? I made this with great care and spent a lot of time on it."
Speed is the essence of war. Draw your sword right from the start to avoid defeat.
Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of insults I will suffer today, and I might not be able to escape them.
Princess Xin'an glanced at Yang Yurong. As women, they would always compare themselves with each other. Although she was of noble status, she was suppressed in front of Yurong for the first time in her life. It was no wonder that Princess Han treated her as a rare treasure and praised her even though she had such a bad reputation. It was no wonder that she had such a beautiful face and figure.
She said coldly, "What did you give me? Just leave it there."
"If the princess doesn't look at it, my gift will be wasted. I know that I am of low status and the princess looks down on me..." Yurong started to cry as she spoke.
This surprised La Mei. Her daughter was the kind of person who had been thrown off a horse several times while trying to tame a wild horse, and she had never shed tears before. Why did she start crying today?
Most of the women Princess Xin'an came into contact with flattered her, and few would cry in front of her like this. But she was not someone who would be controlled by others, and she immediately said, "Why? You are forcing others to do something difficult."
Yurong just cried, her face was full of tears, she looked aggrieved, but she didn't look like she had tears all over her nose and eyes. Qingyi couldn't help but said, "Miss Yang, you are wrong. Does the princess need to look at your expression when she acts?"
"Yes, I am of humble origin, so why did the princess invite me here? Now she looks down on me in every way. I am so ashamed... wuwuwu..."
Unable to bear her nagging, Princess Xin'an said helplessly, "Forget it, hand it over to me."
The long box was just an ordinary wooden box, but inside it was a bucket of pearls. Princess Xin'an lost interest after seeing it. She thought, this girl from a poor family is just poor. It's not worth crying about giving her a few pearls.
But a picture under Zhenzhu caught her attention, and her expression suddenly changed. She sent away all the servants and only kept Yurong.
"What is this? How did you get this?"
Yurong couldn't help but laugh, as if she had changed into a different person, "Princess, why do you think I came today? I didn't have to come."
