No matter how much Liu Xi, the fourth girl, looked down on Chen Yun, she still greeted her in a friendly manner because of her status.
Then she also found out that Princess Ning brought several princesses out to enjoy the peach blossoms, and it was Xue Mingzhu of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion who invited them.
Liu Xi glanced at Xue Mingzhu, then at Xue Pingli who was sitting on the stone bench under the peach blossom tree outside the pavilion, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Is it possible that Xue Mingzhu wants to bring her brother and the princess together?
You must know that the eighth princess Yan Long has not yet made a marriage contract, and Xue Pingli is already nineteen years old this year. The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is very anxious to find him a good wife.
Does Xue Mingzhu want to make her brother Princess Shang? Tsk, tsk, this is a good plan.
Of course, Liu Xi is not really without any brains. She will not talk about Xue Mingzhu's plan in front of so many people, especially in front of Princess Ning and several other princesses. It is not impossible to sow discord in person.
Do it, just don't do it when you don't have me.
After all, compared to someone she met for the first time, how could she be compared to a good sister who has a good relationship? When she told Xue Mingzhu's plan, people must not believe her but believe Xue Mingzhu.
Liu Xi was not envious. There were many princesses and princesses in the Dayong royal family. Although their An Yuanbo Mansion did not have Princess Shang and no precedent of marrying a princess, she did not have to be jealous of the Zhenyuan Mansion for being able to marry a princess.
to the princess.
After all, there are many families in Dayong who can marry princesses or princesses. Emperor Yun Zhao alone has many princesses. How can she be jealous?
Chu Mingluan glanced at Liu Xi, and she knew very well that although this little sister didn't deal with Xue Mingzhu, she was not a brainless person, so everyone sat together and tasted tea and peach blossom cakes in a friendly manner.
It’s time for snacks.
"There are many people coming to enjoy the flowers today, and there are many young talents. Do you have anyone you like?" Chen Yun asked Chu Mingluan in a low voice while drinking tea.
Chu Mingluan blushed and said, "Princess..."
"Princess, you probably don't know that Aluan is engaged to the young master of Duke Cai's mansion." Chu Mingluan's little sister said with a smile.
"Oh?" Chen Xun thought for a while after hearing this. It seemed that when she and Yan Lizhou went to Hanye Temple before, they met a group of young people on the road, and one of them seemed to be the Crown Prince Cai Guogong.
But she remembered that Cai Guogong's eldest son was already married. After all, not everyone got married at such an old age like Yan Lizhou or Xue Pingli. Cai Guogong's eldest son Xie Yulan got married when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. It has been two or three years now and his children can already walk.
Already.
"Which young master in Cai Guogong's residence is Mrs. Chu Jiu?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
Chu Mingluan blushed and said, "It's the Fifth Young Master."
Xie Yufei, the fifth son of Cai Guogong, is the second son. He is only seventeen years old this year and is a very outstanding young man.
Chen Xun carefully recalled the gossip news she had heard before, and she only knew some superficial information. She actually didn't know much about the fifth son of Cai Guogong's house.
But it has to be said that the daughter-in-law of the British Duke and the son-in-law of Duke Cai are a good match, and this marriage should be a good match.
"When will you get married?" Chen Xun asked.
Chu Mingluan blushed and said, "It's still...not clear yet. It depends on the wishes of both parents."
No matter how mature Chu Mingluan is, she is only a fifteen-year-old girl. In ancient times, although people of this age were almost adults, they were still shy when it came to marriage.
Chen Xun nodded and said, "I don't know if I have ever been so honored to attend Madam Chu Jiu's wedding?"
Chu Mingluan said shyly, "The princess is joking. It is my honor for you to attend my daughter's wedding."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's settled. If I'm still in Chang'an when you get married, remember to invite me to marry you."
Chen Yun still has a good impression of Chu Mingluan. Her intuition has always been quite accurate. She likes this girl very much and should be able to get along well with her.
Of course, the British government is also closely related to her natal family. For example, her concubine Chen Ruoling is going to marry Chu Mingluan's cousin Anyang Hou Shizi as her stepmother. Seriously, she and Chu Mingluan
There is also some kind of kinship.
Of course, her relationship with Chen Ruoling was not good, and Chu Mingluan might not like her future cousin-in-law, so it was better not to mention this relationship.
Girls are shy when it comes to marriage, so Chen Yun did not keep teasing Chu Mingluan, but instead smiled and asked other girls who among the young talents in Beijing was better looking.
Of course, Chen Yu also wanted to know who among the girls in Chang'an was the prettiest, whose personality was easy to get along with, who had good literary talent, etc.
Although she likes beautiful men very much, she also likes to see beautiful women. The young girls she met during the flower viewing today are all very good-looking.
Even Liu Xi, she is also very beautiful. She has the kind of beautiful appearance that her elders like her very much and her peers also like her.
She didn't care if Liu Xi was jealous or disliked her. Anyway, she just admired Liu Xi's beauty and had no intention of becoming good friends with him.
While several girls' families were chatting, Xue Pingli was standing guard not far away. After all, the girls' families still needed protection if they were in danger. Of course, he believed that his sister, the eighth princess, and Princess Ning could protect themselves with their strength.
The value is not low.
But the other girls still had to pay more attention to them, but he didn't get close to them. He was still ten or twenty meters away and didn't get close to them.
"Brother Xue."
While Xue Pingli was drinking peach blossom wine and admiring the flowers alone, several young people came over from a short distance away and saw him alone.
Of course, this group of young people also saw several girls' homes not far away. The girls' homes were chatting and laughing so beautifully that they were even more beautiful than peach blossoms. The young people almost couldn't take their eyes away.
One of them bumped the arm of another young man and said, "Brother Xie, is your fiancée over there?"
Xie Yufei, who was hit a few times and was teased: "..."
He did indeed see his fiancée. The girl was chatting happily with other people at the moment and couldn't stop smiling.
After their marriage was settled, the elders of both parties did not restrict their meeting. Xie Yufei was still very familiar with his fiancée.
But I have to admit that in the past, his fiancée always looked very decent when she was in front of him. Even when she smiled, she did so without showing her teeth. How could she smile so heartily like she does now?
Look at the way she laughs and laughs, it's really very different from how she usually looks in front of him. But Xie Yufei also thinks that this look is pretty good.
It is more comfortable for a person to live as he pleases. He is not a prince and does not need to be crowned, and his wife does not need to be the mistress of the house or the wife of a clan, and there is no need to take care of her.
It's really good now.
Xie Yufei looked at Chu Mingluan who was smiling brightly, and felt that he liked her a little more. He liked her lively look.
