Chapter 105: A Slap in the Face Awakens All Dreams
Chapter 105 A slap in the face awakens everyone’s sweet dreams
The time was almost up. Everyone gathered around and said to Princess Qing, "The girls who came today are all sisters who are relatively familiar with each other. I took the lead in making this garden, and there may be some things that are not well thought out. I hope the girls can give me some pointers. I will give you some advice later."
, we have arranged singing and dancing. Today, there are also a few sisters who want to show off their talents. If anyone else wants to have fun, just tell me."
Everyone was seated, and tea and snacks were placed on the long table.
At the beginning, a singer came on stage and sang a few poems. He chanted and sang at the same time, which was very moving.
Then several dancers came up, wearing tops, green skirts, and bottom hems shaped like green lotus leaves. Each one walked lightly and turned in circles, matching the lotus flowers on the water.
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed.
After the song ended, everyone was talking about it.
"What do you think, Princess Nanwei Heqing? It's simply so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes! It's so beautiful!"
"Small steps, just like floating on the water."
"Well, the one at the beginning dances the best!"
Liu Jing sat next to Lin Zhixiu and whispered, "After all, it's a princess's house. It's so particular. It also has a singing and dancing troupe!"
Lin Zhixiu nodded. Zhang Pei came over and whispered, "I heard that Princess Xingrong's house also has a dance troupe. There are many more people than here. They dance very well."
Lin Zhixiu smiled, of course she knew! There are more male dancers in Princess Xingrong's dance troupe. The dances they dance are also in a glamorous style! Ordinary little girls don't have much chance to appreciate it. Why are you blushing?
It’s completely different from Princess Heqing’s fresh style!
Just as I was thinking about it, another dance was finished and everyone left. While preparing for the next one, everyone was discussing it heatedly.
One of them said loudly, "The concept and decoration of Princess's dance garden are the first in the capital! The lotus fairy on the stage and the lotus in the water are correspondingly interesting. It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, I was thinking about how artistic conception it would be to dance like this when there is a drizzle of rain?!"
Princess Heqing said happily, "Are you lucky? My brother is waiting behind you when entertaining guests!"
Someone asked, "What kind of guests are you entertaining? I heard that several famous people have returned to the capital recently! Well... His Highness King Cheng, and Erlang of the Qi family... I heard that the eldest son of the Feng family also came from Lanshan
The academy is back."
When the girls heard this, their eyes lit up, and some couldn't help but asked, "Princess Princess, will the Princess invite these people?"
Everyone pricked up their ears. Just seeing Erlang from the Qi family was enough to make everyone's ears red and their hearts beating...
The princess's face also became slightly colored, "I heard from my brother that everyone is invited. Moreover, the dance troupe at home is not good enough, so they have to go to the Immortal Pavilion to invite them!"
"Ah! I really hope I can come by then..." Someone couldn't help but make a sound.
If someone says it, someone will naturally be bolder and say, "Yes, Princess, can we come when the time comes!"
Princess Heqing pursed her lips and smiled, "I have to ask my brother about this... I don't know how he arranged it!"
Everyone is scratching their hearts, full of envy and jealousy.
Someone said, "...On the day we entered the city, my brother took us to see the Erlang of the Qi family, dressed in red. He is really a god-like figure... What a blessing to the court!" The saliva almost flowed out.
Haha, it’s too far-sighted to even mention the imperial court?! Lin Zhixiu was amused.
"When Qi Erlang came back, he went back to his hometown to worship with his mother. He is really filial!"
"And the great man of the Feng family, I heard, is as talented as the second uncle of the Lin Zhirong family back in the day!"
"Yes! I heard that next year's No. 1 pick must be him!"
Lin Zhixiu listened and nodded secretly. This is indeed correct. Feng Dalang will also be a man of the hour next spring! He won the first prize.
I remember that the two sisters Lin Zhifei, who had so much to say that no one could talk to, ran into her room and talked for a long time!
Gentlemen are so jealous of fair ladies. But handsome gentlemen also make ladies crazy!
It's just a shame that Li Cheng, a pig-headed man, and Qi Erlang, a pervert! They can actually be compared with the Feng family's eldest son... they deserve it too!
Lin Zhixiu couldn't help but feel a little confused when she thought about Feng Dalang, whom she had met once in the previous life...
On the stage, there is a white-haired and white-bearded piano player, playing the piano tinklingly.
But now in the audience, no one is pretending to be elegant and appreciative! Instead, they are discussing the three most popular men in Beijing.
Because, they haven’t gotten engaged yet! They haven’t either!
"I heard that Qi Erlang's polo playing is superb. One person can defeat the entire opponent's team. The red-clad silver horse... tsk tsk..."
"On the day he came back, my brother went to the city gate to see it. He talked about it for a long time when he came back. He was really shocked!"
"Where is His Royal Highness King Cheng? He was in the northwest and came back from great military exploits! When he entered the city that day, he was dressed in black and on horseback, so he was like a god!"
"Did you go and see it?"
"Well!" There was a sense of pride in his voice. "My brother booked a seat at Zhiyin Teahouse and saw that it was real! King Cheng is a thousand years old and so tall! That big black horse is also much taller than an ordinary horse! It's so majestic!
"
It was no longer enough for everyone to sit around and talk. They stood up one after another and chatted in groups. It was much more lively than the chat at the beginning.
"I heard that the new house of King Cheng, who is a thousand years old, is very luxurious. My brother heard from the people who repaired the house that he also built a white marble pool with self-supplied hot water. It's amazing!"
This, I know, I know! Lin Zhixiu smiled. In the last life, after she made her appearance in the palace, she occupied that pool. She soaked in it a lot. She even found a female masseuse! She could spend time there every time.
For half a day, that was the most comfortable time for her.
Zhang Pei asked, "Sister Zhixiu, why are you laughing?"
Liu Jing asked, "Yeah, why are you giggling?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Have you noticed: My brother! He is a good thing!" When the two of them thought about it, all the girls were mentioning it... so they also laughed.
"I heard that Master Feng's calligraphy was recognized by Master Jiang Xian when he was twelve years old! In my father's study, there is hanging his calligraphy when he was fourteen years old. I have also seen it. The brushstrokes have a sword-like style.
The feeling..." This girl was also infatuated.
"It would be great if I could hear Feng Dalang's piano. If he sat on the stage in front and played the piano...it would be better..." Looking at the white-haired, white-bearded, white-clothed old man on the stage, he felt disgusted.
The old man who was playing the piano enchantedly had never heard of him looking down on him so much, otherwise he might have been so angry that he vomited blood.
Lin Zhixiu could hear the joking around and found it very interesting. When she accidentally took a look, she saw a bejeweled woman standing outside the crowd. She had an ordinary appearance and a slightly chubby figure. Compared with the colorful girls, she looked more like an ordinary woman.
...even if she is well dressed.
But the arrogant and arrogant look on her face... is hard to ignore...
Lin Zhixiu was shocked, Princess Xingrong? Why was she standing there quietly?
Princess Xingrong has always been very supportive, and she has to be cheered and cheered wherever she goes. On such an occasion, someone must notify her and let everyone pay her respects. She will take the main seat. But how can she stand outside quietly?
Woolen cloth!?
At this time, the old man with a white beard came down and was replaced by a young female violinist.
Lin Zhixiu felt something was wrong, and calmly pulled Liu Jing, "Let's go change clothes?!" In fact, it was just for convenience.
Liu Jing was unwilling, and whispered, "I heard about the lively place! Why are you going at this time?" She also wanted to know what happened to the most outstanding people in the capital. She hadn't gotten engaged yet.
Well?
But Lin Zhixiu insisted, "Please come with me! You have to help me tie my belt!"
Liu Jing said, "Tsk, isn't Dongyun outside?" She said with an unhappy face, but she still followed Lin Zhixiu. Lin Zhixiu asked Zhang Pei, "Are you here to get it?"
Zhang Pei shook his head: "I want to listen to the excitement!"
Lin Zhixiu led Liu Jing out of the crowd from the other side and out of the courtyard. There were many girls standing outside the door. Dongyun was holding a bag, and Liu Jing's little girl was also in the crowd. When she saw Lin Zhixiu coming out
, and quickly greeted him.
The group of people came to the small courtyard next to it. There was a suite with a dressing room outside and a clean room inside. As soon as they entered, there was a faint fragrance.
There are mirrors, wash basins, combs, hand towels, tables and stools in the dressing room. There are also hanging curtains...
Liu Jing said, "Oh, this place is really neat and tidy. Gee, it deserves to be called a princess's mansion! It's even more detailed than my own clean room..." She looked around.
Lin Zhixiu said in her heart that this was a piece of cake, but she still smiled and said, "You understand, you have to keep it in your heart, and you have to study hard!"
Liu Jing rolled her eyes, "Those three people you just heard them talk about, tsk tsk, are there really such people in the world?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "People choose the ones they like and are willing to admire their advantages, but they completely ignore their shortcomings. In fact, as a person, how can everyone be good?"
Liu Jing said, "Then tell me, what's wrong with them?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "The second man of the Qi family is extremely handsome and talented, but at the same time, what is his temperament? And, will he be careless and reckless, even without regard for dignity?"
Liu Jing couldn't stand her saying, "He won't! He's so good-looking, what kind of color can catch his eyes? How could he ignore his dignity for a woman who's not as good-looking as him?"
Because he is born a scumbag!
But he couldn't say anything. Seeing that Liu Jing was not convinced, he changed someone else, "Another example is Mr. Feng. He is an outstanding talent. Some people even say he is even more outstanding than my father!"
When Liu Jing heard this, she was even more outstanding than the handsome and clear Uncle Lin... little stars appeared in her eyes!
Lin Zhixiu went on to say, "Then, maybe he will treat others with the same expression: Why are there such stupid people in the world... He won't even give others a better look?"
When Liu Jing heard this, she suddenly understood and nodded quickly. She was not afraid of anything, even her own parents, but she was afraid of Uncle Lin. In fact, Lin Xu had not touched her much, but she was afraid from the bottom of her heart.
.When I think of Uncle Lin Xu, except for Aunt An and Lin Zhixiu... he always has that expression. Sometimes, he even looks at his father like this!
She immediately deleted Feng Dalang and said, "What about the thousand years old Cheng Wang!?"
Yes, where is King Cheng’s thousand years old?
Lin Zhixiu's face showed some compassion. She really didn't know what to think about him. He was a familiar stranger...
"He! He has a handsome appearance, a high position, and a rich family fortune. It seems that he can control everything about himself, but how can it be so easy? What's more, he..." Lin Zhixiu's voice was low and inaudible.
Liu Jing looked in the mirror sullenly, "What did you say? I can't hear you!"
Just hearing a chuckle from outside, several people in the room were startled, the door curtain was lifted, and a girl came in from the outside.
Lin Zhixiu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she knew this woman, Zhao Yuan.
The girl came in and quickly apologized to Lin Zhixiu and Liu Jing for "I came to change my clothes, but I heard the girl talking loudly. I was afraid of interrupting, so I just listened for a moment. Don't be surprised, girls!"
Liu Jing blushed, but Lin Zhixiu smiled, "Two silly girls are boasting. If the girl doesn't laugh, she's lucky!"
"I think what the girl said makes sense. My name is Zhao Yuan, who are the two girls?"
Lin Zhixiu introduced herself and Liu Jing, and they met again. Zhao Yuan sat down and asked the girl to do her hair.
"The thing I wore today is so tiring that it hurts my head." She complained.
Liu Jing saw that she was well-informed, and she quite liked it in her heart: "The suit my mother asked me to wear today is a bit similar to the girl's, but I was afraid of the pain, so I didn't wear it!"
"Miss Liu, you are smart!" Zhao Yuan smiled, showing his white teeth.
Although the girl in front of her did not have a close friendship in her previous life, she was one of the few people who treated Lin Zhixiu well. In the few times they met, they all treated her very well.
Lin Zhixiu recalled that she later filled a house for someone, and he was a man older than her father. Well, fortunately, that man treated her very well. He gave her part of the family property early in the morning.
, so that she can live a stable life after her death.
Lin Zhixiu wanted to make friends with her, so he chatted a few more words with her. As expected, every word struck Zhao Yuan's heart. After a while, the three of them became like old friends.
After dawdling for a long time, Liu Jing began to complain, "It's not bad, right? There are so many lively and beautiful dances outside, but you are dawdling here!"
Zhao Yuan also packed up, "Miss Lin, let's go out?"
Lin Zhixiu thought that it was almost done. If the person hadn't left yet, he would hang out outside for a while.
When we arrived at the venue in front, the excitement was gone, the dancing on the stage had stopped, and no one was talking...
Liu Jing met her cousin when she entered. She was about to ask why she was so quiet all of a sudden.
When Lin Zhixiu pulled her, Liu Jing was stunned and said nothing. Looking at the venue, people had already begun to leave.
Lin Zhixiu pulled Liu Jing back to her seat. Zhang Pei was still sitting there. At this moment, his face didn't look good.
Liu Jing was puzzled and wanted to ask again, but Lin Zhixiu pulled her again. Liu Jing's cousin came over and whispered, "Sister, let's go back?!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Sister Jing'er, please go home first. We will talk later."
Liu Jing was confused. She looked around and saw no princess... She suddenly felt a little nervous, so she followed her cousin.
Lin Zhirong came over and asked, "Where have you been just now?" His voice was very unpleasant.
Lin Zhixiu said, "I went to comb my hair and tidy up my clothes."
Lin Zhirong said, "I've sent someone to look for my mother, and I'll be back soon." After that, he turned around and left.
Lin Zhixiu knew something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was. As a result, Zhang Pei pulled her and the two of them stood in a corner, and Zhang Pei briefly said a few words to her.
It turned out that everyone was chatting enthusiastically. I heard an ouch, followed by a snap...
Everyone focused their attention and saw a girl covering her face in disbelief.
And Princess Xingrong stood there proudly, staring at her fiercely.
Everyone was stunned!
Princess Xingrong curled her lips, "I haven't seen such an impudent person in many years, how dare you step on me!"
The girl who was beaten did not recognize Princess Xingrong and subconsciously defended "I didn't..."
As a result, a female officer next to the princess stepped forward and said, "Princess, I'm going to teach you a lesson, you dare to talk back!" She went up and slapped the woman again, knocking the woman to the ground.
The girl almost fainted because of the sudden disaster. The female officer held her and knelt down on the ground.
The people in the princess's mansion saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly went to report to the eldest princess.
Princess Heqing is the master, so she has to take the lead no matter what. However, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to say, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, don't be angry, or you may step on her..."
Princess Xingrong smiled contemptuously, "I'm here to see your new stage today. I originally thought that such a... beautiful stage must have good singing and dancing! But when I listened, I was all talking about the few people in the capital.
Man...Okay! Looking back, I would like to ask my aunt, what is this stand used for?"
Princess Heqing blushed with embarrassment, "We are just familiar sisters, chatting about the young heroes in the capital. Don't blame me, princess. Just take a look and see if you stepped on her."
"I'm not a fool!" she said arrogantly.
People around the princess said, "When the eldest princess arrives, no one greets her. What's the point?!"
Princess Han and Qing Princess both came out and quickly saluted, "Greetings to the eldest princess!"
Everyone also saluted and almost knelt down.
Princess Xingrong sat on her seat and glanced at the girls present, especially the good-looking and well-dressed ones. They all felt her malice. Then she smiled coldly, "Continue to act and continue chatting."
ah!"
But who dares to talk?
The princess's mansion was still very organized. The eldest daughter-in-law of Princess Qingping's mansion and He Qing's mother rushed over. She came in in a hurry, but her expression was very calm, "The eldest princess is here? I'm really sorry. There is a bit of chaos on the door today.
I didn’t receive any notification, so my mother told the eldest princess not to be weird, please go over and talk!”
"Ha!" Xingrong's mood sank... but he stood up. "Well, since we're not going to act, we're not going to talk anymore! I, let's go see my aunt!" He stood up and left with a few people.
The servants in the mansion picked up the girl who was kneeling on the ground and took her away.
Princess Heqing's face was pale. She had never encountered such a thing. Princess Wenhua and several others also looked bad. The scene was very quiet, and no one had recovered from the situation just now.
Zhang Pei murmured to Lin Zhixiu, "She, why is she like this?"
Hasn't she... been like this all along? Mentioning this, Lin Zhixiu couldn't help but think of Wu Jingxiang, one of the few people who could deal with this evil princess.
On the way back, the three people in the car didn't speak.
After arriving home, Mrs. Huang told the old lady what happened today. Old lady Lin was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat. What kind of illness did Xingrong have?
After Lin Zhixiu returned, she became silent for a while. Since her rebirth, everything has gone smoothly for her. Especially in the Lin family, where her uncle has restricted the Lin family, her life has been much better. No matter how angry the old lady was, she did not take her away.
What's going on.
Everything almost made her forget the pain caused by that glass of poisonous wine in her previous life.
This time, she was much more awake.
No matter how many ways you plan, how you turn the clouds and the rain, how you jump about with joy, you are nothing in the face of power...
In this life, I can't jump into that circle anymore.
After Huang and his daughter returned to the room, Lin Zhirong explained what happened in detail.
"The place where Miss Liu is standing is not the main passage at all. How did the princess get there? Was it intentional?"
Huang said, "I don't know if there is a festival, but you might as well take a look at this scene. It turns out that my grandmother also told you what you should pay attention to when going out to socialize. But you haven't experienced it yourself, so you can understand. That is the princess, she
Being there, maybe on purpose, maybe for no reason, she was happy, so she did it. Then, there is nothing you can do about it!"
Lin Zhirong thought and nodded, "But if she does this in Princess Jingping's house, isn't it too disrespectful to her master?"
Huang said, "Xingrong is the emperor's biological daughter, or the eldest daughter. Is she afraid? If she wants to give face, she will give it, but if she doesn't want to, she won't! This is power. How did Lin Zhixiu behave when things happened?"
Lin Zhirong said, "I didn't pay attention. Later, when everyone was leaving, I realized that she was not in her seat. I asked her and she said she had gone to comb her hair. Was she not there?"
Huang's heart was spinning, but she didn't think much about it.
After everyone dispersed, at Princess Qingping's Mansion, everyone was sitting there with gloomy faces, and Princess Qing was crying. Her pride had been shattered today.
The princess was also very angry when she saw her daughter being so angry.
"Mom, what is Xingrong doing? A group of little girls are having fun, what are they doing to her? She doesn't even give you face! Are you going crazy?!" Her second son said excitedly.
Princess Qingping also had hatred in her eyes, "This bitch is really..." She was also very angry.
The second son said, "She has a beautiful singing stage in her house. Are she jealous of our stage?"
The prince sneered, "Ha! I heard that on the day Qi Erlang came back, the princess's car parked next to the Guanghe Teahouse. She took over the entire teahouse, probably on the second floor, and took Qi Erlang up and down.
I read it over and over. But in the end, I didn’t give Guanghe Teahouse three melons and two dates. Some unpleasant words were spread out.”
Princess Jingping was stunned, "What's the matter? She is thinking about Qi Erlang?! Ha! This is really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and the horse has no face!"
The second son suddenly realized, "Mother, she wants to miss Qi Erlang. Do you think she will hold a grudge after we show our kindness to the Qi family?"
Princess Jingping quickly looked at Princess Heqing and coughed. Everyone was silent again, but Princess Heqing realized that the family was thinking of Qi Erlang? She couldn't help but feel happy.
Princess Jingping said, "Heqing, don't be angry. That person in Xingrong... Humph, forget it! She is shameless, and I really can't afford to be angry with her! You go back first, and I will arrange for someone to bring gifts in a while."
Go to Liu's house, the girl has been wronged in our house and needs some comfort."
After Princess Heqing left, Princess Jingping said, "Let's forget about that!"
The eldest prince was unwilling. "Mother, that bitch is willing, but Duke Ding's Qi family is also willing? What kind of thing is she! The Qi family is still afraid of her? Are we afraid of her?"
Princess Jingping said, "Originally, we just wanted to find out. From the Qi family, there was no news about Erlang's marriage. There was no trace of it, but we attracted such a bitch. If the Qi family is willing, I will
Maybe I'd argue with her. But...it didn't work out, and He Qing was put on the fire instead!"
What a good thing, everyone was in disgrace.
