The group of people, plus the girl, took two separate carriages before arriving at the eldest prince's residence. After handing in greeting cards, the carriage entered the residence directly and was led to the second gate before getting off the carriage.
Seeing Tian Minting and the others looking around, Tian Minyan coughed slightly and cast a look.
Tian Minting immediately lowered her head, but she was very disdainful in her heart, but Tian Minyan said that if she loses the face of Zhongxian County Bofu, she will go back to the house immediately.
"Remember my words, don't trust others. Don't just walk away wherever someone takes you, especially don't take other people's things. Remember, if you see a woman with a big belly, stay away. Otherwise
, I can't save you if something happens." Tian Minyan warned again.
"Do you think we are all fools?" Mr. Jiang snorted in displeasure.
Tian Minyan retorted lukewarmly: "I'm afraid that people will treat you as fools and you won't even know you are being harmed."
"you..."
"Oh, Lord Huimin has arrived. My imperial concubine asked a servant to pick her up. Is this your old lady? She is so energetic." A nanny stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Tian Minyan.
Tian Minyan smiled and nodded, then asked the girl to give her a gift and said, "Prince Lao is thinking about you."
"Come on, we are waiting for Mr. Huimin County." The nanny took the gift, her smile became brighter, and she led them to the small oil truck beside them.
Tian Minyan smiled and glanced at Tian Huaifang and the others. Tian Huaifang and Huang Wenyuan looked at each other in a well-behaved manner. Only Tian Minting looked around with envy and confusion on her face, and did not even notice the mammy's expression when she glanced at her.
A look of disdain.
Since it was a flower banquet and we were enjoying lotus flowers, the banquet was held by the lotus pond.
When they arrived at the lotus pond, they heard bursts of laughter. Tian Minyan looked over and saw that it was really a gathering of girls. Because it was summer, they were all dressed very coolly. They looked more beautiful than the other, and dressed more refreshingly than the other, but without losing their temper.
Luxurious.
The lotus pond in the Prince's Mansion is far inferior to the one in Qi Shiqi's Mansion, but it has a special meaning because it has a covered bridge in the lotus pond, and you can walk on it to admire the lotus flowers in the lake.
There were many small tables placed by the pool. Tian Minyan saw a young woman with a round figure sitting on the left side of her head. Who was she if not Qiu Ningyan?
Because of her pregnancy, her whole body became much rounder. She was sitting on a chair with a soft cushion underneath. The girl was standing behind her holding a feather fan, talking and laughing, and her belly was round and protruding.
Pregnancy did not make her ugly, but because she was rounder, her face looked richer, less acerbic, and more beautiful.
Tian Minyan glanced past her and saw many familiar faces, including Princess Ruining, Yao Yuying and Le Yi. However, Yao Yuying looked much more haggard, and her whole person seemed to have lost its color.
Some people also looked at Tian Minyan, who smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Qiu Ningyan also saw her, but she glanced condescendingly from her seat, pretending not to see her and only talking to the people around her. Tian Minyan shook her head when she saw her, and went to bow to the eldest princess.
"Get up quickly." The eldest princess walked down and helped her up with a smile. When she saw Jiang and the others, she also greeted a few words, and Tian Minyan answered them one by one with a smile.
"Oh, this is Mr. Huimin County." Qiu Ningyan pretended to have just seen her. She was supported by the girl and walked over with a big belly.
Tian Minyan took two steps back and said with a faint smile: "Congratulations, Mrs. Liang."
Qiu Ningyan snorted, glanced at the eldest princess proudly, glanced at the Jiang family members behind Tian Minyan, and said, "Who are these people? Why are they so uneducated and not polite when meeting people?"
Tian Minyan's expression did not change, but Jiang's and the others' expressions changed slightly. Tian Minyan stepped aside with a smile and said to Jiang and the others: "This is the eldest prince's good wife, fifth-grade imperial edict."
In other words, they must salute.
Jiang was very reluctant. How would it be appropriate for a little girl to ask an elder to salute? But when she saw Tian Minyan's warning eyes and then looked at Qiu Ningyan, she followed Tian Huaifang and others in saluting.
Seeing Jiang's aggrieved look, Tian Minyan felt relieved. If she didn't have to make a fuss, she should abide by the rules.
"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Huimin County, these relatives of yours are really not very good. They salute crookedly. Why didn't you teach them at home?" Qiu Ningyan didn't ask Jiang and the others to raise their eyebrows, she just covered them with her hands.
He smiled and said: "But after all, I came from a small place and haven't seen much of the world, so it's not surprising."
Jiang and the others were so embarrassed that their faces turned red, but they didn't scream, so they just squatted down.
Tian Minyan smiled lightly and said: "Indeed, so I am very happy that Mrs. Liang can personally post messages to my old lady and aunt. People say that Mrs. Liang is very kind and can send messages to people who have never met her.
I feel like I have known each other for a long time, and I feel deeply honored and honored to post this post.”
You mocked me for coming from a small place, but I countered that you posted it yourself. It was you who came up on your own, willing to be humble and lower your status.
Qiu Ningyan's expression changed, her hand stroking her belly paused, and she glared at Tian Minyan: "You..."
"Sister, Mrs. Tian is still saluting." The eldest princess reminded her at the right time: "She is an elder."
Qiu Ningyan snorted, regained her arrogant look, and said, "Get up." Then she turned and returned to her seat.
Tian Minyan clicked her tongue in her heart, and was about to say thank you to the eldest princess, but she saw a trace of evil flashing in her eyes so fast that it was hard to see clearly.
She was stunned!
Looking at Qiu Ningyan's straight waist, Tian Minyan's thoughts changed, she blinked, her expression remained unchanged, and she smiled and thanked her.
The eldest princess asked someone to bring them to the designated position. Tian Minyan stretched out her hand for Zi'er to hold her, leaned very close, and said in a low voice: "Zi'er, please pay more attention to the movements of the eldest princess, don't let her push us
serve as hatchet man."
Zi'er was startled, then understood, and nodded invisibly.
Qiu Ningyan's pregnancy was watched by so many people. The one who least wanted to see the child born was the eldest prince's concubine, right? She is so domineering now. Once she gives birth to the eldest son of the eldest prince's palace, there will be no place for her in the future?
Today, there are people from the second prince's party, four princes from the party, and the third prince's concubine. It's really a gathering of noble people. If something goes wrong, then...
Tian Minyan sat down, picked up the tea on the table and covered it with a handkerchief, pretending to take a sip, but she didn't touch it at all, for fear of being tricked.
After sitting down, Qiu Ningyan asked Tian Minyan again why she didn't see her two cousins. Tian Minyan said that her health was not good and she was taking care of herself at home, so she didn't come. She snorted after hearing this.
Qiu Ningyan was determined to make Tian Minyan look embarrassed, so she stopped asking her questions, and instead asked Tian Huaifang and the others. Unfortunately, because they were all meeting noble people, Jiang and Tian Minting were very nervous, and they all stuttered their answers.
There were a lot of snickers, and Jiang's old face turned red.
Tian Huaifang and the others were better off. After all, they had lived in Qingping for a long time. Although they were nervous, they were still well-behaved and avoided a lot of jokes.
Qiu Ningyan looked at Tian Minyan triumphantly and saw her sitting there with a calm face, not affected at all. She couldn't help but sneered: "Mr. Huimin County is really good-tempered. If my old lady and sister are teased, I will
I must stand up for them."
"Oh? It turns out that Mrs. Liang thinks this is teasing, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. After all, how can a junior dare to make fun of a junior blatantly? How rude and uncultured. My old lady has lived in the country for most of her life. This is a rare thing.
I don’t blame her for being excited after meeting a noble person, even if you say so." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
Qiu Ningyan gritted her teeth in anger and squeezed out a sentence: "Huimin County Jun really has a clever mouth."
"Mrs. Liang, thank you very much." Tian Minyan was very modest.
She and Qiu Ningyan's back-and-forth sarcasm did not suffer any loss. Huang Wenyuan could clearly hear it from the sidelines. Looking at Tian Minyan's confidence and complacency, her eyes were full of envy, but also a hint of admiration and complexity.
I don't know if there is no comparison. Now when I compare it, I can clearly feel the gap between myself and her. She obviously grew up in the countryside, and her wealth has only been in the past few years. How come she has changed so much? That demeanor.
, as if he has been tempered for thousands of times, as if he has been cultivated since childhood. Is this the environment that creates a person?
Qiu Ningyan was even more annoyed when she saw Tian Minyan's smiling face. She had heard that Le Yi had a conflict with some cousin from Tian Minyan's family, so she decided to hold this flower banquet, hoping to take the opportunity to humiliate Tian Minyan and use that
A few country bumpkins did something to avenge themselves that day.
But Tian Minyan is good, she has a sharp mouth, as if it has been sharpened with a whetstone, and every time she sarcastically comes back, it still makes people unable to make sense of her words.
"Come on, since today is the lotus appreciation banquet, the mansion has made some snacks made with lotus flowers. Let's all have a try." Seeing that the situation was a bit tense, the eldest princess smiled and smoothed things over.
Soon, girls of one color filed in carrying fragrant and exquisite snacks. Tian Minyan took a look and saw that they were lotus root cakes, lotus seed ice tea, lotus leaf powder cake, candied lotus seeds...
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Ningyan suggested that some ladies compete in talents, recite poetry, or paint. Tian Minyan didn't care about this. She just stared at Jiang and the others, and winked at Zi'er.
Zi'er nodded invisibly, and while those people were showing off their talents, she stood in front of Jiang to serve them.
"Miss Huang and I don't know each other before, so why don't we compare painting?" Le Yi stood up and said provocatively to Huang Wenyuan.
Huang Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, and Le Yi said: "What, are you scared?"
"Miss Le, I'm not very good at painting, so I won't let you compete so as not to offend the nobles." Huang Wenyuan said honestly, her face reddened when she heard the sneers around her.
"It doesn't matter, it's just for fun. Miss Huang, just paint together with Miss Le, and let us take a look." Qiu Ningyan said with a smile.
Huang Wenyuan bit her lip and looked at Tian Minyan. She came over and nodded, then said: "Okay, in that case, I'll join in the fun."
