Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of cars, horses and people at the entrance of a courtyard outside the city.
This was originally the villa of a princess from the previous dynasty. Because the princess loved wintersweet, she planted thousands of wintersweet and all kinds of plum blossoms in and around the villa. By the time of the Dasheng Dynasty, the villa had been idle and abandoned for a long time, so the court removed it.
After some repairs, it became a gathering place for the dignitaries of Shangyong to enjoy plum blossoms.
The snow that has fallen for more than two days has not yet melted away, and the blooming yellow wintersweet is covered with little white snow, giving it a unique style.
Luo Junyao jumped down from the carriage, and the people who had not yet had time to enter the courtyard gate stopped involuntarily and turned their heads to look at the regent princess.
Because it is still the mourning period for Empress Dowager Zhu, the female relatives who come to the flower party are all very elegantly dressed. Luo Junyao is no exception. She is wearing a moon-white cloak, and the edge of the hood and collar are inlaid with snow-white looks.
The soft white velvet made her little face more delicate and beautiful.
"I have met the Princess Regent." Everyone came back to their senses and quickly bowed and saluted.
Luo Junyao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, everyone can go in."
Everyone said yes, then turned around and continued what they were doing. Some people couldn't help but whisper and glanced at Luo Junyao from time to time. Luo Junyao didn't care and walked in with Feng Jianlanyin, Qin Yaoer and Linglan.
.
Because it is not a private courtyard, although this courtyard is huge, there are not many buildings. At a glance, you can only see a few houses hidden in the bamboo forest in the distance, behind the rocks in the garden. This is also because the area of this place is really small.
Xiao, although there were a lot of people here today, it didn’t feel noisy.
As soon as Luo Junyao and his party stepped into it, someone came up to them and said, "I've seen the Princess Regent."
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly. Just when others thought she didn't know the person in front of her and wanted to step forward to introduce her, they heard Luo Junyao say leisurely: "Mrs. Meiyanghou, nice to meet you."
The person who came to us was a middle-aged woman in her early forties. She was also wearing a low-key light brown dress today, and she only had a few plain jade hairpins in her hair. If it were a different time and place, people who didn't know her would probably not know her.
I would have thought that this was Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Meiyang Hou was also stunned, and quickly smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the princess would remember my wife. I am really flattered."
Luo Junyao said: "I met Mrs. Meiyang Hou at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet in the palace and at the palace a few days ago. How could I not remember it?"
Mrs. Meiyang Hou smiled and said nothing more. She just said: "Everyone is at Tingfengxuan behind the plum forest. I will lead the princess over."
Recognizing people is also a skill. There are as many dignitaries in Yonghuang City as there are ministers across the river. Even those who are good at socializing and socializing may not be able to remember them all. Although Mrs. Meiyanghou's family is a marquis, she should not be ignored.
, but she and the regent princess have never interacted, and they have not even spoken to each other.
In addition, the regent princess was young and had some rumors of arrogance before. Mrs. Meiyang Hou really didn't expect Luo Junyao to know her.
"Good work."
With Mrs. Mei Yanghou leading the way, a group of people walked toward the plum grove in the garden.
After passing through the huge garden and the plum grove, things gradually became lively. As soon as they stepped into Tingfengxuan, Luo Junyao heard a laughing voice calling: "Junyao."
Luo Jun shook his head and looked over, only to see Princess Changzhao smiling at her.
Princess Changzhao was accompanied by her youngest daughter, Princess Huaiyang, Xu Xinyu and Qin Ning. Qin Ning raised her eyebrows at Luo Junyao when she saw her, with a bit of joking pride on her face.
Luo Junyao immediately confessed his crime to Mrs. Meiyang Hou and walked quickly towards Princess Changzhao, "Sister Changzhao."
Since marrying Xie Yan, she has dealt with Princess Changzhao several times and feels that this princess is also a very good person. In other words, Emperor Gaozu and the Queen Mother are good at raising their daughters, and Princess Changzhao and Princess Changling are not.
The kind of royal princess who relies on her status to be domineering. I heard that the late Princess Chang Shu also had a gentle personality, but it was a pity that she passed away too early and Luo Junyao had no impression of her.
Princess Changzhao smiled and said: "When I went out, A Ning said you would not come." Now Princess Changling takes care of the Empress Dowager in the palace every day, so she entrusted her children to Princess Changzhao. Changzhao
When the princess came out to attend the flower party, she naturally had to bring Qin Ning with her.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "The posts have been delivered to your door, and with such a name, it doesn't seem right if I don't come."
Princess Changzhao said: "You are the regent princess. If you don't like to come to normal banquets, it's up to you. But today, it's better to come and sit down. These people are really diligent. If I hadn't received the message, I wouldn't have known about it.
There is such a thing." Princess Changzhao was obviously unhappy as she spoke, but in the name of mourning Empress Dowager Zhu, she had to come.
"You two, don't show me your aunt yet." Princess Changzhao turned her head and ordered her daughter and niece.
Xu Xinyu was still very calm. She was not familiar with Luo Junyao but she also liked this little aunt very much. She said crisply: "Xinyu has met my aunt."
"..." Qin Ning instantly began to regret that she had followed her aunt to the banquet today.
Luo Junyao chuckled, stretched out his hand and put a white jade bell into Xu Xinyu's hand, "Good boy, I didn't give you a greeting gift before, now I'll make up for it."
Xu Xinyu blinked her eyes and put them away with a smile, "Thank you, aunt." She obviously didn't think as much as Qin Ning thought. Although they were not much different in age, there was nothing wrong with her calling her aunt because of their seniority difference.
Qin Ning glared at Luo Jun and said, "Where's mine? You didn't even give me a meeting gift!"
Luo Jun waved his hands and said, "No, you don't even want to call me aunt."
"..."
Princess Changzhao looked at the angry Qin Ning and couldn't help but raise her hand and pat her, "Okay, stop fooling around, why don't you sit down and wait for people to see the joke?" They stood here, listening.
There were indeed many eyes in Fengxuan falling on them, either explicitly or covertly.
Princess Changzhao took the three girls and sat down. Tingfeng Pavilion was open on all sides, and you could see the scenery outside when you sat inside. Silver frost charcoal was burning in every corner of the house, so it was not too cold to sit inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Princess Changzhao is naturally sitting in the position with the best view. As long as they turn their heads to one side, they can see the lush bamboo forest not far away and the rockery and stone arrangement on the other side.
There is a complete garden and artificial lake. There are seven or eight wintersweet trees outside Tingfengxuan. Their yellow flowers are so delicate and delicate due to the snow that they look a bit pitiful.
Because the snow has begun to melt, water droplets fall from the branches from time to time, hitting the face of the girl standing under the tree. The cold water droplets make the girls scream, which makes this bleak and indifferent winter day a little bit longer.
Vitality.
Luo Jun shook her head and sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside with some boredom. From time to time, people came over to greet her and Chang Zhao, but they all dealt with it casually.
Princess Changzhao knew she was bored when she looked at her like this. Looking at Xu Xinyu and Qin Ning, they both looked bored.
Princess Changzhao held her forehead and sighed helplessly: "You kids, you just can't sit still. We haven't all arrived yet, so don't sit here with me, go out and play."
Xu Xinyu looked at her mother obediently and said, "I will accompany my mother."
Princess Changzhao nodded her daughter's forehead and said with a smile: "Then cheer up."
Xu Xinyu whispered: "I don't know what I'm thinking. I went outside the city to suffer the cold in the cold weather." As she said this, she couldn't help but pull the cloak on her body. Although it wasn't too cold, she didn't feel cold at all.
It's so comfortable in a house with earth dragons.
Qin Ning nodded repeatedly, "That's right."
Princess Changzhao looked at Luo Junyao with a smile and asked, "What did Junyao think?"
Luo Junyao blinked before coming back to his senses and said: "It's good to go out for a walk, squatting in the house every day is not good for your health."
Qin Ning couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said: "No one can be in poor health, but you can't." Luo Junyao is jumping around every day, but where is he squatting in the house?
Luo Junyao ignored her, but looked at Princess Changzhao and said, "It was Madam Meiyanghou who brought me in just now. I remember that Meiyanghou Mansion always keeps a low profile. Why did she take the initiative to get involved in this matter?"
Princess Changzhao smiled and glanced at Mrs. Meiyang Hou who was dancing among the guests not far away, and said: "She didn't take the initiative to get involved, she was just entrusted by others."
"Entrusted by others?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows.
Princess Changzhao said: "This Mrs. Meiyanghou is the daughter of Zhou Yuan, the Guanglu doctor, and the cousin of Mrs. Chengenhou. In addition, the old Meiyanghou was also the husband of the emperor's brother, and he can be regarded as a die-hard royalist.
It’s party time.”
Luo Junyao suddenly realized, "That's it."
