168: Birthday banquet, Zi Jin Guan Jinghua 1 The situation of the Ye family is quite special. In previous years, the eldest princess Xuanhua went to the birthday party in person, and Du Manqiu's mother-in-law did not go there. However, this year, Princess Xuanhe specially went to Du Manqiu.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sent the invitation, and when Zi Jin heard the news, she sneered in her heart.

Princess Xuanhe and her mother-in-law are really at odds with each other. Deliberately inviting Du Manqiu not only makes the eldest princess look bad, but also takes the opportunity to stir up internal strife in the Pingbei Hou Mansion. This shows that this person is also a powerful character, and he can make waves of thunder with just a raised hand.

.

Ever since Zhou's mother told her in detail about Princess Xuanhe that day, Zi Jin felt that this character was quite interesting, and she was no longer so uneasy. Human beings have flaws, and as long as they have flaws, they will cover the door.

It's best for you and the princess to know how to give in when things get better, otherwise she won't give in easily.

On this day, Zi Jin deliberately got up early in the morning. After washing up, he opened the copper-covered and carved box and carefully selected clothes. Because he was newlyweds, Zi Jin couldn't dress plainly, but it was too colorful and seemed frivolous. In the end, his eyes were lingering

On the dress with cherry red tapestry trimmed with flowers all over, this dress was sewn by Zi Jin herself when she was in her boudoir, and the embroidery work on it was also done by her own stitches.

This is a set. Inside is a cherry red tapestry jacket with flowers all over it. On the outside is a Xiangfei color bamboo pattern embroidered with bright satin edging. Below is a cherry red quilt with intricate embroidery on the skirt.

The skirt is made of fine beaded eight-treasure pattern and has many pleats, making it very elegant when walking.

Zijin asked Hanmei to do a Tianluan bun, with a hairpin made of red gold thunderbolts and a three-tailed phoenix inlaid with rubies. The thin golden tassels swayed on the temples, adding a touch of charm. On both sides of the bun were hairpins with precious flowers and butterflies.

A gilt hairpin presses the temples, and a jeweled flower pendant is worn on the ear. Her long eyebrows are lightly painted with snails, peach blossom powder is applied to her face, and her lips are dotted with lipstick. Her eyebrows are like a painting, and her figure is like a willow. Han Mei looks in the mirror.

The man chuckled, "Young madam, what do you think?"

Zi Jin looked at it carefully and nodded. A man is just like a man wearing clothes and a horse is like a saddle. It was a good idea to get rid of it this time. He smiled and said, "The craftsmanship is pretty good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xianqiao walked in and said, "Young madam, the meal has been set."

Zi Jin stood up and went to the outside room. On the round table with carved red flags, there were already placed rouge goose breast, marinated quail legs, brightly colored pickled cucumbers, steaming green rice and Japonica rice, and a bowl of fresh ham.

Bamboo shoot soup, Zi Jin sat down and ate very carefully. She thought it was still too early to have a banquet at noon, so she should eat to fill her stomach to avoid starving. Zi Jin was not very fond of food.

She is very voracious, she never abuses herself, and her requirements for food and snacks are generally relatively high.

Several girls are used to following her here. Although the girls in the Hou Mansion are also used to the people here having exquisite food, they didn't expect Zijin, a concubine from a fifth-rank official family, to be so ostentatious about food and drink.

Everything was so exquisite that it was jaw-dropping. Today, Bi He and Su Wan were on duty, and they lined up on both sides to feed Zi Jin. Bi He looked as usual, but Su Wan was murmuring in her heart.

I had really underestimated Yao Zijin before, and this splendid situation was comparable to that of Mrs. Du in their Marquis Mansion.

Zi Jin ate a bowl of rice and most of the dishes. Then he listened to the chopsticks and stood up and walked to the Nuan Pavilion to sit down. A little girl came in silently holding a tea cup, napkin and spittoon. Zi Jin

After rinsing her mouth and hands, she took Xianxiao and Hanmei to the eldest princess's rose garden.

The eldest princess had just finished her meal. When she saw Zi Jin coming, she stood up and said, "Go directly to the old lady's place to say goodbye. Let's go there earlier today, and I will also introduce some people to you. From now on, you can also

To slowly start interacting with everyone, you must first get to know each other."

After all, she was her direct biological mother-in-law. Zi Jin felt warm in her heart. With the eldest princess as a recommendation, Zi Jin's path would naturally be easier.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to Luyuan, Du Manqiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had also just arrived. The two groups met at the door, greeted each other, and then walked in.

After meeting the old lady, Madam Ye gave everyone a few words of advice, including paying attention to the appearance of the Hou Mansion, hugging each other when outside, etc. Knowing the conflict between the two houses, the old lady gave some instructions, at home

How we fight behind closed doors is our own business. If people watch the joke outside, everyone’s faces will not look good. The following sentence is Zi Jin’s imagination. It’s not easy to think about Mrs. Ye. I’m afraid it’s in my heart.

I was also very conflicted. It would be really embarrassing to start a real fight when I went out, so I gave them a warning in advance.

Naturally, everyone agreed in a low voice. The concierge had already prepared the carriage. The eldest princess used a private carriage with five colorful glazed canopies and emerald curtains this time. Du Manqiu and the others rode in a three-carriage with vermilion canopies. In comparison,

Naturally, he was inferior. Because he was going to Princess Xuanhe's mansion to celebrate her birthday, the eldest princess naturally had to show off her majesty. In contrast, Du Manqiu was immediately thrown out of a few blocks, so the quality of reincarnation is

It determines your social status in the future. This sentence is absolutely true.

Zi Jin naturally followed the eldest princess into the extremely stylish car. In modern times, this car would be at the level of a Ferrari. This kind of material advantage made Zi Jin feel a little proud, because she saw

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other very tangledly. Although they tried their best to hide it, Zijin's eyes were sharp.

After Princess Xuanhe married Fu Chengbo, she did not live in Fu Chengbo's Mansion but in the Princess Mansion. Princess Xuanhe's Princess Mansion is naturally not comparable to Princess Xuanhua's Princess Mansion. This is why Princess Xuanhe hates Xuanhua.

One of the reasons for Princess Huachang. The difference between Xuanhe and Xuanhua is like the difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine. Although Concubine Ping is a concubine, she is not a queen. She is just a concubine in a wealthy family. Zi Jin's

My biological mother, Aunt Wu, is still a concubine. A concubine is still a concubine after all.

Although Princess Xuanhe's Mansion is not as grand as Princess Xuanhua's, it is much more majestic than the Marquis's Mansion. The two auspicious stone lions at the door are majestic, there are five grand gatehouses, and the red painted door has nine vertical and horizontal lines.

The rows of gilt doornails are seven rows vertically and horizontally in the Duke's Palace, and five rows vertically and horizontally in the Marquis's Palace and below. The number of rows and number of doornails on the door is also a symbol of status and power.

The tiles on the gate are carved with patterns of flowers, birds and animals, the protruding stigmas are carved with orange flower heads, and there are various small auspicious animals standing on the corners of the eaves. When you look at it from a distance, it gives you an extremely solemn and solemn look.

The feeling made him subconsciously lower his voice even when he spoke. Zi Jin knew that this was the so-called aura.

The eldest princess arrived, and Princess Xuan and Princess welcomed her out in person. Even though they didn't get along, they still had to do some things that should be done.

Zi Jin carefully looked at Princess Xuanhe, who was wearing a maroon woven gold-painted satin coat with cloud shoulders, full sleeves and phoenix pattern, a small vertical collar and a double-breasted coat. The sleeves were extremely wide, embroidered with intricate and detailed brocade borders, and tied with a pair of crimson woven gold double phoenixes.

Wearing a sea-patterned skirt, a shiny jade hairpin on her head, a pair of big red phoenix eyes full of smiles, and the skin on her face still smooth, Zi Jin thought she was well-maintained and she was a beauty.

After the two princesses finished talking, Du Manqiu came forward with his two daughters-in-law to pay their respects. Zi Jinan stood steadily behind the eldest princess, neither impatient nor angry, nor sad, with a slight smile on his face. I mean, Du Manqiu and Princess Xuanhe have met several times, and Chu and Chen have also met each other. After bowing, the eldest princess glanced at Zi Jin, smiled at Princess Xuanhe and said, "This is it. Mingxuan is a daughter-in-law, and Zijin has met Princess Xuanhe."

Zi Jin then slowly walked out from behind the eldest princess, folded her hands on her waist, Yingying squatted down and bowed, saying: "Zi Jin has met Her Royal Highness, and wishes her a long life with gold and stone, Jin Yue and prosperity." ."

Princess Xuanhe's sharp eyes slowly glanced at Zi Jin, but with a deep smile on her face, she said: "She is so beautiful. Eldest sister is so lucky to have such a daughter-in-law." After saying that, she took off her hair. He handed the red gold dotted with emerald gold to Zi Jin. He helped Zi Jin up and said, "Wear it and play with it. It's not a valuable item."

Zi Jin thanked her hurriedly, and the money he got was quite heavy. It was obvious that it was solid gold. Ordinary people could not afford this kind of green. The feathers in this small amount of green were all thin feathers of excellent quality and glowed with an extremely pure color. Said to be worn for fun, this meeting gift is really generous. At least it gives the eldest princess a lot of face.

Princess Xuanhe and Princess Xuanhua were walking in front, and Zijin and others were slowly following behind. The entire princess mansion occupies a large area, and all the servants coming and going had their heads lowered and did not dare to look around. They entered the Weeping Flower Gate. Then they got on the soft sedan and walked inside. They walked for about a cup of tea before they stopped. They arrived early and there were not many guests. When they saw them getting off the sedan, they came around in twos and threes. The eldest princess said hello to Du Manqiu and the place became lively for a while.

Everyone in Kyoto knows about Zi Jin Gao's marriage into the Hou family. This is not because Zi Jin is so famous, but because Ye Mingxuan doesn't like a beauty like Luo Jue, and what kind of woman does he fall in love with? When the eldest princess introduced Zi Jin to everyone, even though they were mentally prepared, everyone's breathing still stagnated slightly when they looked at the unparalleled beauty in front of them. Her eyebrows were blooming, and her green temples were thick with spring smoke. .The pair of eyes are as clear as mountain spring water, the skin is as white as snow, and the skin is as smooth as gelatin, and the cherry lips under the straight and pretty nose are glowing with pink and lustrous luster. The figure is like the spring breeze blowing in the willows in March, and the movement is full of emotions. Like a lotus growing step by step, it is so dazzling to the eyes, especially this cherry red shirt that more and more sets off the purity of Zi Jin with a hint of charm, even the woman is dumbfounded.

"No wonder Ye Sanshao fell in love with her at first sight. She is indeed a goddess." Someone whispered, their words full of admiration.

"It's just a matter of outstanding appearance, how can it last long? After a fresh start, it's strange that such a background can stand up." There are also people who are so mean.

Some people didn't say a word, but just looked at them silently. Zi Jin tried his best to relax and looked as normal, but in fact he was still a little nervous. The eldest princess looked at Zi Jin and laughed softly: "Don't be afraid, I am here, these people Those who are most used to the limelight, just don’t worry about them.”

Zi Jin felt a little more relaxed when he heard what the eldest princess said. Today's eldest princess's demeanor in front of everyone is completely different from the way she gave in in the Ye Mansion, no matter what the world is. After all, when the eldest princess sat there, her bones were filled with tears. The royal majesty exuded was indeed quite intimidating. Zi Jin was stunned, thinking that such an eldest princess was the real princess, a noble and noble person who dared not look up to her.

As there were more and more people, Zi Jin also saw one or two acquaintances. The first one he saw was Mrs. Liang Guogong. The two of them met accidentally and were a little embarrassed. After all, Mrs. Liang Guogong was in Yao for Luo Jue's marriage.

The government has put a lot of effort into it, and Zi Jin and Luo Jue are the ones who can talk things through. In fact, although these two people have never spoken about it, they know it in their hearts.

Mrs. Liang Guogong lost a lot of weight, probably because of the things that Luo Jue had caused some time ago. Although she finally got married to Qi Mansion successfully, it was not as expected after all. Mrs. Liang Guogong looked at Zi Jin coldly, and the people around her

She didn't seem to notice the turmoil between the two of them. They were busy with their own affairs. The eldest princess was also distracted by others and couldn't think of Zi Jin for a while.

Zi Jin looked at the ferocious look in Mrs. Liang Guogong's eyes. She understood in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just looked at her indifferently without saying a word.

"After all, you won." Mrs. Liang Guogong said this through her teeth. Her eyes wanted to tear Zi Jin apart, and she exuded deep hatred from her bones.

"What are you talking about, madam? Zi Jin doesn't understand. Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by parents and matchmakers. I don't have the skills of my concubine. How can I win or lose?" Zi Jin said lightly, beating him to death outside.

She would not admit to anyone that she had an affair with Ye Mingxuan, not even to death. Mrs. Guan Liangguo had a clear conscience.

"Humph, don't be too proud. It's just because of the freshness. After waiting for the freshness, a concubine like you with a low background will have to be buried in the mansion one or two every year." Mrs. Liang Guogong mocked.

"Really? Madam, please keep your eyes peeled. Regardless of what I think, it would be better for Madam to care about my daughter-in-law's situation first. I heard that her life in her husband's family is not very satisfactory. Although her husband is happy, her mother-in-law doesn't like it. Yes, no.

What mother-in-law likes a daughter-in-law who loves another man in her heart? What's more..." Zi Jin paused lightly and looked around when there were eyes scanning around. Zi Jin's face became more and more soft smile,

"It was your concubine who ruined my marriage. Why doesn't Madam feel guilty?"

To put it bluntly, Luo Jue first pursued Ye Mingxuan relentlessly, but it turned out that Ye Mingxuan liked Zi Jin, and then he ruined the marriage between Zi Jin and Qi Heng. Wasn't he Zi Jin's natural enemy?

"Jue'er is right, you are really sharp-tongued and hard to deal with. I used to think that you were so gentle, how could you make Jue'er so angry that he couldn't eat for three days. What he said today is really shocking.

Surprised." Mrs. Liang Guogong put away her cold and sinister face in the blink of an eye, and replaced it with the same kind face with the gentle smile of an elder.

Zi Jin had long known that this man should not be underestimated, and his skill in changing his face was really amazing.

"It's still far behind Madam. In the future, we should ask Madam to teach us. Zi Jin is still young. If he practices for another ten or eight years, he will be one-tenth as good as Madam." Zi Jin

A crisp laugh overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he said goodbye and then slowly walked away.

As soon as Zi Jin left, friends of Mrs. Liang Guogong gathered around and quietly inquired about Zi Jin. Mrs. Liang Guogong was always a sophisticated person and would never openly say something bad about Zi Jin in front of everyone. She was not afraid of Zi Jin.

Jin is just the extremely powerful old lady Yao behind Zi Jin, but it’s okay to say some specious things.

After Zi Jin turned around and left, she sighed quietly. She didn't expect Mrs. Liang Guogong to be so cruel. She looked at her with a look of reluctance. She was afraid that something might happen in the future, but she had to

Be careful. Just as he was thinking about this, Zi Jin raised his head and unexpectedly met an acquaintance. He was stunned for a moment. Who was it? It was the third lady of the former Jinghai Hou Mansion. The two of them were stunned when they met.

.

"Third Madam? Why are you here?" Zi Jin asked in surprise. He had a good impression of this Third Madam Zi Jin, so he was particularly cordial.

The Third Madam still looked good. When she saw Zi Jin, she was surprised at first, and then laughed, "I didn't expect to meet the Third Young Madam here..."

"Madam, you should call me Zi Jin." Zi Jin felt that it was very awkward for the third lady to call her this way. Zi Jin had always liked this cheerful lady.

The Third Madam was not awkward either, but she did not call Zi Jin such a rude thing. Instead, she called her Fifth Miss, and then said: "I didn't expect that we would meet again after going around so long. It shows that we are really destined."

Zi Jin was also very surprised. After the incident in the Jinghai Marquis Mansion, although the third and second bedrooms were not implicated, they were still defeated after all. The son of the second bedroom had no fame, so how could he still go to such places? Zi Jin looked surprised.

With a look on her face, the third lady was also very happy, and said: "Jun Qiu used some tricks before leaving the capital to find jobs for his two younger brothers, the eldest son of my knee, and the eldest son of the three younger siblings. Although there was no serious job,

Although they have great fame, both of them have been practicing martial arts since childhood and have a good foundation. One has become a seventh-grade nomadic captain, and the other has become a seventh-grade commander. As long as they mix well, they will be able to prosper in the future."

Zi Jin was a little stunned. Wu Zhen was kind-hearted after all. He made such an arrangement before leaving, so he smiled and said: "Congratulations to Madam, this is a good thing."

The third lady smiled happily and sighed, "I really liked your child at the beginning, and I wished you could come into my house and be my niece-in-law. Jun Qiu, that child, you..." She realized that she shouldn't say these words, after all, Zi Jin was already married.

The woman quickly changed her words and said, "How are you now?"
