On one side of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, on a temporary high platform specially built for the ladies of high-ranking families, there are all kinds of fragrant fragrances, just like being in a blooming garden. The best powders and the most expensive spices in Jin Dynasty,
You can find them all here today, and those beautiful and pampered ladies from high families are vying for beauty here, but everyone’s eyes are more focused on a seemingly unaccompanied person who lives alone in a corner of the high platform with almost no one around.
On the eye-catching couch.
Wang Miaoyin did not put on heavy make-up today. She wore a goose-yellow Luo shirt, with a little dab of dark green at the corners of her eyes. However, she showed a natural and elegant temperament. Among the many high-ranking ladies with heavy make-up, she looked very different.
Like an orchid in an empty valley, she is as beautiful and spotless as any other. Sitting next to her is Liu Tingyun, who is carefully dressed in red and looks like a peony. None of them are wearing Miluo today, but Wang Miaoyin's temperament and appearance are similar to that of a peony.
Compared with Liu Tingyun, who can also be called stunning, she is even better.
Perhaps because of the jealousy of her beauty, some rumors from unknown sources clearly reached the ears of these two high-ranking ladies: "Look, that is Miss Wang who is going to be betrothed to a soldier."
"Tch, she is quite pretty, but probably because she knew she was going to marry that poor and smelly soldier in the future, she just went out of her way and stopped dressing up today."
"Hehe, I heard that it was Miss Wang who took the initiative to hook up with the soldier, not her parents' orders. Her best friend Liu Tingyun even tried to persuade her for a long time, but it's a pity that she didn't listen."
"I really don't know what they think. We girls from high-ranking families have always married only noble sons from high-ranking families. It is said that there are no poor people in the upper class and no noble people in the lower class. How can the rules in this world be broken? Look at it.
The way she looks now, huh, she deliberately didn't put on any makeup on such a formal occasion. Although she is beautiful, she didn't just deliberately put on a posture that is different from the rest of us."
"That's right, sister Xi, how are you worse than Wang Miaoyin? I think she just wants to seclude herself from our noble family."
"Hey, why is Liu Tingyun still getting involved with her? Didn't you say that she broke off the engagement with the Huan Yi family?"
"Haha, the Huan family is just a soldier. The sons of the Huan family are not much better than the farmer Liu Yu, so it is said that birds of a feather flock together, and only they can get together!
"
Liu Tingyun's almond-shaped eyes widened as she listened. The wild laughter of these women echoed in her ears. Every sound stimulated her heart. She couldn't help it. As soon as the small case was taken, she would get up and talk to these women.
After a quarrel, Wang Miaoyin on the side smiled slightly and held her hand: "Sister, why do you need to be as knowledgeable as this person?"
Liu Tingyun sat back angrily. Originally, she was also a proud and arrogant person, but after all, she experienced the failed marriage with the Huan family and almost became a laughing stock in Jiankang City. She was so angry that she couldn't leave her house every day.
Hu, if it weren’t for the victory of the Beifu Army today, all the children of officials from aristocratic families would be present. In addition, Wang Miaoyin came to invite her personally, so she reluctantly attended today’s military parade. It was precisely because of her current mood that Wang Miaoyin
I purposely separated this position from others, not because I wanted to stand out.
Liu Tingyun sighed, and the look in her eyes became gloomy: "Sister, I'm afraid that I will never be able to see anyone in my life. I'm a lonely person, and no one will want me."
Wang Miaoyin shook her head and said calmly: "We live in these troubled times. As women from aristocratic families, since our family has given us glory, wealth, fine clothes and food, we have to bear corresponding responsibilities. Marriage is not decided by us.
Even my Xie family, didn’t I also force the daughters of the family to divorce their husbands?”
"Sister, you are not a widower. It is a good thing that you have not married. If Mr. Huan is really still here, how can we get along with each other in the future? It will be a troublesome thing. I believe that with the status of your Liu family,
Your Majesty is currently in the high-ranking position of Minister Zuopushe, and since you are so beautiful and talented, there will definitely be a better son from a noble family to marry you."
Liu Tingyun's face turned slightly red, and a hint of shyness flashed through her face: "I, can I really find my right husband again?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled and held Liu Tingyun's hand: "Sister's business is my little sister's business. I promise you that I will not marry anyone else unless I help you find the man you like."
Liu Tingyun sighed quietly, looked at Huan Xuan who was chatting and laughing with Wang Xun on the opposite side of the Ancestral Temple, and murmured: "I don't know if they will want me. After all, I am already married."
.”
Wang Miaoyin looked at Huan Xuan in the distance and said calmly: "Sister, I know who your sweetheart is. If it were someone else, he might worry about this, but he will never care about this."
Liu Tingyun's heart moved and she asked anxiously: "Why do you say that? How did you know about it?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled and said: "Your affection for Huan Xuan can be seen by anyone with eyes. Sister, you have to know that Huan Xuan's father Huan Wen was married to the eldest princess of Nankang who was divorced and remarried. This
He just became the prince-in-law, and he has been very successful in the future. Today's Huan Xuan probably wants to follow the same path as his father. His father-in-law is in charge of selecting officials in the court, which is exactly what he needs. For this reason, he will definitely do it.
marry you."
A trace of doubt flashed across Liu Tingyun's face: "Isn't he from the Huan family in Jingzhou? Why does he want to be an official in the court?"
Wang Miaoyin curled her lips: "There were conflicts and fights within the Huan family. When Huan Wen died, Huan Xuan was young. Although he was the heir apparent designated by Huan Wen himself, the power in Jingzhou fell into the hands of his uncle Huan Chong.
At that time, Huan Chong made an announcement to all the Huan family members, saying that when Huan Xuan came of age, he would definitely return the power of Jingzhou to him. However, when Huan Xuan came of age, Huan Chong first made him the governor of Yixing County, and then made him
Before the Battle of Feishui, he led troops into Jiankang Suwei. Now the Huan family is launching a full-scale Northern Expedition. This is the time to make achievements, but Huan Xuan is asked to come to the capital to participate in the military parade. Sister Tingyun, you are a smart person, can't you tell?
"
Liu Tingyun covered her mouth with her hands: "Ah, according to you, Huan Chong wants to exclude Huan Xuan, his nephew, from taking power?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Huan Chong has two sons who are both civil and military, and are brave enough to win the three armies. They are both older, so they are obviously more suitable than Huan Xuan. At least, Huan Xuan is in the capital now. If he wants to go back to Jingzhou, I'm afraid it will be too late.
It’s not a good choice. It’s better to be an official here and make friends with the aristocratic families in Jiankang City while watching the changes in Jingzhou, so my sister is very important to him.”
