Chapter 831 I’m just so angry
After Mrs. Chen and her daughter arrived in the capital of Zhao State, they clearly had no place to live at first and had to rely on Dong Huanzhi for their shelter.
So when they said they were rich, Fu Zhaoning didn't quite believe it.
Fang Shiqing looked at it for a while and then came over and whispered to her, "These palace lanterns are all embroidered with Dahe's Shuihua silk. Shuihua silk is very expensive. It is usually used to make screens, round fans, window decorations, etc. Most people can't afford it."
"You also know Shuihuajuan?"
"My father opened a cloth shop. He not only sells cloth from our own cloth workshop, but also collects silk and satin from various countries that Zhaoguo doesn't have. Occasionally, people come to him for unique items. We still have a few pieces of this Shuihua silk in our cloth shop. It's very expensive."
The Fang family has a big business and a wide range of knowledge about these things, so Fang Shiqing knows more.
"There are so many palace lanterns. It seems that each one is very expensive."
"Yes, Shuihua silk is expensive to begin with, and with these superb embroidery techniques, a palace lantern costing a hundred taels of silver is considered cheap," said Fang Shiqing.
She was a little surprised when she finished speaking. After all, there were at least sixteen palace lanterns at a glance, which was quite a lot.
Moreover, this is a temporary palace. After all, it is a royal place and the palace lanterns used are of certain standards. Now they are all used to build momentum for Princess Bingyu. Doesn't this mean that the emperor really likes her?
As soon as it entered the palace, it left such a deep impression on everyone.
"Princess Jun."
At this moment, some people had already seen Fu Zhaoning and stopped to greet her.
But Fu Zhaoning also found that several people quietly stepped back a few steps and stayed away from her.
Fu Zhaoning smiled secretly in her heart. She knew very well that this was because they were still a little afraid of that kind of disease. Although they knew that she had been walking often in the past few days, because her hands and face were still smooth and flawless, others guessed that she was indeed not infected with the disease.
But I still couldn't control the worry in my heart, so I wouldn't get too close to her.
Fu Zhaoning didn't care either.
"No need to be polite."
Naturally, these girls all come from extraordinary family backgrounds.
The girls Chen Haobing invited today were not from ordinary families.
If we talk about the lowest status, it would probably be Fang Shiqing. But even Fang Shiqing is the daughter of a wealthy man with a lot of money.
"We heard that Princess Jun would come, and we didn't believe it at first, but we didn't expect it to be true."
"Princess Jun and Princess Bingyu have been friends for a long time, right?" a round-faced, cute girl asked curiously.
After all, Fu Zhaoning rarely accepts invitations from ordinary people.
Fu Zhaoning shook his head directly, "We just know each other, we're not very familiar with each other, we're not friends."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Princess Jun is so rude in her words. Is she giving no respect to Princess Bingyu at all?
“Puff.”
Some people couldn't help laughing out loud.
Everyone looked over and found that it was Princess Nanci who came with An Qing, so they all bowed. Although Princess Nanci came to marry An Yushi, which was beyond everyone's expectations, she was a princess of a country after all, and her temperament was somewhat arrogant.
Last year, when she was holding various banquets and parties and causing trouble, she did give the young men and women in the capital a lot of trouble.
She married Censor An, and many people thought she was stupid behind her back.
After all, Censor An is just a small censor. The most important thing is that he is not favored by the emperor. He often tests the brink of death. It is unknown when he will offend the emperor and be demoted.
Originally, Princess Nanci could have married a prince, a marquis, or a young master, but what happened?
So many people laughed at her and wanted to see how miserable her life was.
Now, Princess Nanci seemed even more radiant and charming than before, and her eyes were full of charm.
"Look at Princess Nanci's expression. It's obvious that she is being doted on, right?"
"Imperial Censor An is a famous talent in our capital, and he is also very handsome."
Yes, there were many girls who liked Censor An in the past, but unfortunately Censor An never went out much, so not many people knew about him, and he also said that he didn’t want to get married too early.
Otherwise, how could it be Princess Nanci's turn?
Now seeing Princess Nanci's rosy face that came from happiness, some girls couldn't help but feel jealous.
Censor An must be very good to her, otherwise she wouldn't look so happy.
"The family tradition of Censor An is also upright. They never take concubines, and there is no mess in the backyard. It seems that Princess Nanci and An Qing's sister-in-law get along very well."
Woohoo, they are so envious.
If they had known they would be so happy, they would have shamelessly asked their elders to go and pay their respects to the Imperial Censor. It was too late now.
"Sister Zhaoning."
An Qing and Princess Nanci walked quickly to Fu Zhaoning's side.
"You came later than me." Fu Zhaoning smiled.
Princess Nanci didn't care, "Why are you here so early?"
She had never thought of giving face to that Princess Bingyu.
"I didn't expect you to come here, Princess."
"I didn't want to come either. What's the point of joining in on this kind of thing? I was tired of these banquets last year, but An Nian insisted that I come, saying that he came to take a look and that if there are any problems, he can tell you and Prince Jun in time."
Princess Nanci said the following sentence when she moved closer to Fu Zhaoning and spoke to her in a low voice.
It seems that An Nian also thinks Chen Haobing is a little weird?
It is puzzling that King Qiong recognized her at this time.
"I will thank Censor An later." Fu Zhaoning smiled.
"Please move to the warming hall." A housekeeper came over and invited them over.
The girls had already gone there. Maybe because they saw Princess Nanci and Fu Zhaoning together, they didn't dare to come over to chat.
Princess Nanci and An Qing were the last to arrive, everyone else had already arrived.
In the warm room, Chen Haobing had already sat in the main seat and had been staring at the girls who had arrived earlier for a while.
She wanted to make a stunning appearance, but she also felt it was not good to keep the guests waiting for a long time, so she thought about coming out first to greet the guests and win the favor and closeness of the guests who arrived first. When Fu Zhaoning came, these guests might all stand on her side.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Chen Haobing was still just a young girl who had never experienced any banquets. Even though she had received some guidance from her nanny in the past few days, when she saw so many rich ladies coming, her mind went blank and she didn't know how to show her charm for a moment.
Especially the seventh princess started to have a tantrum as soon as she arrived.
"I don't know why my father values you so much. I heard that you, like Yun Shu, are both illegitimate daughters. You are almost like bastards. Yet, he lets you entertain guests in the palace!"
When Chen Haobing heard the word "bastard", she was so furious that she almost lost control and got angry. It was Qiuyun who persuaded her.
"Princess, a little impatience can ruin a big plan!"
