Chapter 162 162: Lin’s mother and daughter acting as monsters
Pei Yiqing bit her red lips and was embarrassed to speak.
Wen Nianruan waited impatiently and asked, "Second brother, has he accepted you?"
Pei Yiqing shook her head.
"Then he refused again?"
Pei Yiqing shook her head again.
Wen Nianruan: "."
Is this asking her to guess a riddle?
Pei Yiqing held her arm and said shyly: "Your second brother didn't reject me, but he didn't accept it immediately. He said he would be given some time to think about it."
Pei Yiqing could understand Wen Tingzhou. After all, he had just taken office and was busy with work, and she was talking about a love affair with him at this juncture, which really made him a little busy.
Wen Nianruan laughed: "It seems that second brother still has feelings for you."
Otherwise, reject her directly.
Pei Yiqing blushed and said nothing.
When she got along with Wen Tingzhou this time, she did feel that something was different from last time.
Wen Nianruan felt that Wen Tingzhou had probably thought clearly in the past few days. Now that he had entered an official career, he no longer considered getting fame and fortune, and it was really time to think about starting a family and starting a career.
Pei Yiqing is a good girl, and Wen Tingzhou doesn't want to miss her.
After he finishes his political affairs during this period, he will also have a good chat with Pei Yiqing.
At this time, the front yard was already bustling with activity. This kind of banquet occasion was the most likely to form groups. Those ladies from official families only played with people of the same status, so naturally they looked down on those who were lower than them.
The same goes for those ladies from noble families. They are all arrogant masters who will only fawn over those who are more noble than themselves and disdain those who are lower than them.
As a result, Meng Ying'er and her daughter are somewhat incompatible.
The two of them were excluded by the ladies and could not integrate into their circle. Meng Yinger stood aside in embarrassment, at a loss, and even felt humiliated.
Those noble ladies were dressed more luxuriously and prettier than the other, and they could all compare to her. Some of the maids were even better dressed than her.
This made her feel so embarrassed!
When Meng Ying'er came today, she went through all the boxes and cabinets and put on all the most beautiful clothes and jewelry. However, compared with these noble ladies, she still looked eclipsed.
With a dark face, Meng Yinger pulled Mrs. Lin and said angrily: "Mom, I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go back to Prince Rongning's Mansion."
Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, isn't this good? Look at how lively this banquet is. How could we in the county have the chance to attend such a banquet of a noble official's family?"
Compared to Meng Yinger's thin skin, Mrs. Lin's old face is much thicker.
Although she couldn't fit into the circle of those noble ladies, she felt that this was all a temporary matter. After her daughter married Prince Ling Zhao, she would become the crown prince's concubine, and then these noble ladies would have to fawn over them.
Meng Ying'er didn't think as much as Mrs. Lin thought. Now she just felt that she couldn't stay any longer. But due to her pride, she was too shy to speak, so she just chopped her foot and said angrily: "I just don't want to stay any more!"
"You kid, why are you so clueless?" Mrs. Lin was also angry with Meng Yinger and analyzed her: "Do you know why the princess asked us to attend the banquet in the Marquis Mansion? It's just to make you, the future princess,
Show your face in front of everyone, otherwise no one will know that you are Prince Ling Zhao's 'fiancée,' and moreover, it also allows you to see more of the world so that you can integrate into the circle of these nobles in the future."
Meng Yinger's face turned red with anger: "No one even said hello to us, who would know that I am the 'fiancée of Prince Ling Zhao.'"
"No one greeted us, so we went to find someone else to talk to. Let's go, mother will take you there."
With that said, Madam Lin pulled Meng Yinger towards the crowd. Meng Yinger looked reluctant and could only be dragged away by Madam Lin.
When they got closer to the ladies, everyone saw that the two people were dressed like they did not belong to a wealthy family in the imperial capital. Moreover, the two of them looked acquainted. Everyone around them cast disdainful glances at the mother and daughter.
Face of disdain.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the Imperial Capital?"
"It's not like a maid or a wife from some house has sneaked in, right?"
"What a maid, maybe she's a beggar."
Those noble ladies covered their mouths and laughed.
Meng Yinger's face turned red when she heard this, and she stood aside in embarrassment.
Lin showed her shameless "specialty" again, without blushing at all, straightening her chest and raising her chin: "We are from other places, and we have just arrived in the Imperial Capital not long ago, so it's not surprising that you don't know each other. Let's chat a few more words."
acknoledged."
Someone asked: "Then what are you doing in the Imperial Capital? Are you here to join your relatives?"
Just when she asked about Lin's idea, she pulled Meng Yinger over and said with a proud look on her face: "My daughter is Prince Ling Zhao's fiancée. What do you think we are doing in the Imperial Capital?"
As soon as it was said that she was Xiao Yi's 'fiancée', everyone went into a rage, whispering: "She is Prince Ling Zhao's 'fiancée?' Is it true or not?"
"I heard my father say before that Princess Rongning wants to marry Prince Ling Zhao. It's probably true."
"She actually dares to marry Prince Ling Zhao without fear of losing her life."
"Didn't you hear what they said? Those from out of town probably don't understand Prince Ling Zhao's temperament."
Although she couldn't hear what they were talking about, seeing the changes in their eyes when they looked at her, Lin straightened her back again and felt even more proud.
After a while, a group of people asked the mother and daughter about everything. Lin's sharp tongue completely integrated into their circle.
Meng Yinger was surrounded by a group of noble ladies chatting, and the shame she felt just now disappeared immediately. She felt inexplicably proud of being praised by all the workers, and her back straightened unconsciously.
These noble ladies attracted the two of them because they were interested in the power of Prince Rongning. If they established a good relationship with Meng Yinger, the future concubine, they would be able to get closer to Prince Rongning in the future.
Some noble girls are even more whimsical, thinking that if Meng Yinger marries Xiao Yi in the future, she will be Yun Chenan's younger brother and sister. If they have a good relationship with her, won't they be able to get closer to the Imperial Master?
Maybe she will become the wife of the Imperial Master in the future.
In this pavilion, Li Huachun and his two daughters were sitting inside. Wen Ruochu looked not in good spirits and sat aside with a dull look on his face, a little depressed.
Since the last quarrel with Xiao Weifeng, the relationship between the two has never been as good as before. Xiao Weifeng has not even been to her yard for a long time.
Even today's banquet at the Hou Mansion, Xiao Weifeng did not come to attend.
Looking at Wen Ruchu on the side, she has always looked good and radiant since she became pregnant.
Li Huachun looked at her slightly swollen belly with a happy face, and took great care of Wen Ruchu, for fear that she would bump into it.
She said to Wen Ruchu: "You must take good care of this baby in your belly. When it is born, he will be the first child of the royal family."
The royal first child.
The smile on Wen Ruchu's lips froze slightly, and she gently stroked her abdomen: "You don't need to say anything, I will understand."
Li Huachun still didn't know that the seed in Wen Ruchu's stomach was not Xiao Jinran's.
Not wanting to mention the child any more, Wen Ruchu turned her eyes and saw Lin's mother and daughter surrounded by the crowd: "Who are those two people? They look at each other."
