The old princess has long understood Eryu's little thoughts. In recent years, Xunyang has never had anything to do with Jiaojiao in the capital. It seems that it is also because of Eryu.
Xun Yang Xiuguan (20 years old) didn't let anyone mention his marriage before, and would get angry when it was mentioned. Later, when he got too old and the old princess refused to listen to him, he let the old princess shave her head and frantically took care of it.
It was just that when he was a professor at Taixue, he mainly taught the Four Books and Five Classics to the children of the nobles. It was at that time that Princess Eryu fell in love with Xun Yang. If anyone in the school heard that anyone had any interest in Xun Yang
Because of her love for Xun Yang, she always deliberately finds trouble to teach him a lesson, so that all the beauties in the capital are afraid of her. Even if she admires Xun Yang, no one dares to look at Xun Yang openly, let alone those who intend to get married.
Xun Yang's marriage has been postponed until now. The old princess's hair has turned a lot gray due to worry. She is annoyed with Princess Eryu, but due to her status as a princess, she cannot show it too obviously.
Now that Xun Yang has finally taken a liking to the Shen family, how can she let Er Yu mess with it? She smiled kindly, took Er Yu's hand and said, "You old people should move more, don't
Stay with our old woman and let Ajie take you to see her new baby."
Xun Jie silently glanced at the old princess. Although her expression was still gentle and quiet, Shen Yunchu could see the resentment and secretly guessed what kind of treasure it was that she couldn't even bear to look at it.
Princess Eryu suddenly became interested, but her tone was light, "What kind of treasure?"
What kind of treasure has her most beloved princess never seen?
The old princess smiled and said, "Yesterday I got a new pot of black peonies. Just now, the clean girl saw it and asked for it. I think I will wear it at this year's peony banquet."
Shen Yunchu glanced at the old princess secretly. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the old princess was trying to provoke her. Mo Peony was the king of peonies, and a Mo Peony was hard to buy. Since Xun Jie could beg for such a precious thing,
, I think so
It's no wonder Princess Ankang looks at Xun Jie with jealousy and hatred. Xun Jie is the legitimate daughter of the second wife, slightly older than Xun Yu. This year at the Peony Banquet, both of them are faced with the problem of picking a good son-in-law in time.
, naturally they have to fight overtly and covertly to grab the limelight.
Although the peonies in Princess Eryu's hands are not inferior to theirs, Jiaojiao always has a heart to compare with each other. Princess Eryu will naturally not miss the opportunity to reward Xunjie's peonies in advance so that she can compare secretly.
Princess Eryu glanced at Xun Yang quietly. She was originally reluctant to leave so soon. She wanted to see Xun Yang a few more times, but when she thought of Xun Jie's black peony, it would probably overwhelm the one she prepared.
She continued the comparison and struggled in her mind for a moment before walking up to Shen Yunchu and smiling sweetly, "
Jiaojiao of the Shen family grew up in Yunzhou. I don't think she has ever attended the peony banquet hosted by the Queen. Why don't you come with me to see Ajie's treasure? Mo Mudan is the king of peonies. I think Jiaojiao will be happy when she sees her. Maybe then
Poetry is booming, and if you write a good poem, your second sister will feel inferior to you."
She felt that if Shen Yunchu wanted to defeat Xun Jie, he would definitely follow her. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. She emphasized in her words that Shen Yunchu came from the border of Yunzhou. He had never seen the world, and he must have never seen Mo Mudan.
The last sentence is even more provocative. Shen Yunyan has won the peony banquet for several consecutive years. If she were Shen Yunchu, she would have such a perfect sister, and she would be jealous and jealous in her heart.
Princess Eryu thought to herself that she did not call herself her concubine in front of Shen Yunchu because she wanted to make good friends. If Shen Yunchu had even the slightest hint of a wink, she should take advantage of the situation to please her.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yunchu just stood up respectfully, and smiled in a gentle and gentle manner, neither humble nor arrogant, "Yunchu rarely sees peonies in Yunzhou, and he can't appreciate the good and the bad. At any rate, he is not literate, so he better not follow the princess and embarrass himself." Now you can see."
Er Yu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Shen Yunchu would demean himself so much. He was not familiar with Wenmo in Jiaojiao's social circle in Beijing. The gatherings of Madam Jiaojiao and others inevitably involved reciting poems, painting and cooking tea. Now in front of Princess Yongning, she is not Should I do my best to win Princess Yongning's favor and be invited to more parties by Princess Yongning?
But then I thought about it, Eryu's face turned ugly. Shen Yunchu didn't want to go with her to see the peonies. Could it be because he wanted to stay here with Xun Yang?
Princess Shanyin knew what Eryu was thinking by looking at Eryu's expression, and couldn't help but worry about Shen Yunchu. She first glanced at the old princess and saw that the old princess had a worried look on her face. She originally wanted Princess Eryu to follow Xunjie. Who knew that Princess Eryu would take Shen Yunchu with her if there was any dispute, no matter how tactful Shen Yunchu was, she would probably suffer a lot.
She squeezed Princess Ankang's hand quietly and said with a smile: "Didn't you get half a catty of Yunwu tea yesterday? Chu Niang happens to be someone who knows tea art. Why don't you invite her to your Hanlian Courtyard to taste tea?"
When Shen Yunchu heard this, he went to see Princess Shanyin, but saw her smiling at him. She smiled back softly, but she didn't have much hope for Princess Ankang. Princess Ankang had disliked her for a long time. .
But she didn't expect that Princess Ankang would be surprisingly obedient today. She walked up to Shen Yunchu and said, "Chu Niang, are you willing to teach me how to make tea?"
Shen Yunchu was so flattered!
However, she had to remain respectful and courteous in front of the nobles. She smiled slightly and said: "It's just a matter of discussing and learning from each other. There is no question of teaching or not. What's more, this Yunwu Tea is extremely rare, but I just listened. Have you ever tasted it? If I can have one today thanks to the princess’s blessing, I will be happy to sleep at night.”
Princess Ankang was very impressed by Shen Yunchu's words. Yunwu tea is a specialty of Wuzhou. On the edge of the smoke-filled cliff, girls of thirteen or fourteen years old are picked to pick it, and the annual income is only about one pound. Ankang herself can get half a catty, which shows how favored she is. Shen Yunchu's words are envy of her being favored, which greatly satisfies her arrogant mentality. She glanced at Xun Jie with contempt and said to Shen Yunchu He smiled and said, "My mother-in-law has praised me for my tea skills. If you can give me some pointers, that would be my blessing."
Shen Yunchu really wanted to look up at the sky. How could Princess Ankang be so easy to talk to now? How could she say such decent and obedient words, how could she make her happy and be polite to her?
Princess Eryu suddenly remembered that Shen Yunchu's tea art was taught by Xun Yang himself. She squeezed the Juanpa in her hand tightly, and the smile on her face became sweeter. "There is Yunwu tea in Ayu? I have to be shameless to try it." Taste it."
