Chapter four hundred and eighty third grace system
On Yao Mengxian's head, she wears a gold silk peony hairpin inlaid with gems, and a gold half-winged ruby butterfly hairpin stuck in her bun. The playful butterfly hairpin makes the little girl very smart.
Dai couldn't help but nodded. She was dressed in a festive and not shabby way! I don't know where there are so many messy rumors in Beijing.
Yao Mengxian immediately lowered her head shyly, "The Crown Prince's wife has been praised too much. The Crown Prince's wife is the real beauty of the world! Just now, my little daughter saw the Madam for the first time, and she was stunned."
When Dai Shi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face burst into laughter, "Oh! This little mouth is so sweet. No wonder Mrs. Yao hasn't come to the house to play recently. It turns out that there is a wonderful and eloquent person hidden in the house.
, how can you think of me, a clumsy-tongued person?"
Ke Shi glanced at Yao Mengxian, who had her head lowered, with deep eyes, and then said with a smile: "If you forget, no one can forget you, right? How can my girl compare to a clever mouth like yours?"
Yao Menglian and Yao Mengdie hurriedly stepped forward to join in the fun, but they couldn't let Yao Mengxian steal the limelight.
After all, Yao Mengxian is also the legitimate daughter of the chief minister of the Zhenguo Palace. This is her first time coming to the Zhenguo Palace. Due to emotional reasons, Dai has to say hello emphatically.
But she didn't expect that Yao Mengxian didn't seem to be as dull and timid as the rumors outside said. However, it was all family matters, so she just watched from the sidelines.
He took off a mutton-fat jade bracelet from his arm, took Yao Mengxian's hand and put it on her directly.
"This is for my sister to wear for fun." Dai Shi smiled, then let go of Yao Mengxian's hand.
Seeing this, Yao Mengxian quickly declined, "This? This is too expensive."
After saying that, she turned her attention to Ke. This was a gift for the first time they met. In fact, Yao Mengxian shouldn't refuse. But she still had to show off, otherwise people would say she was short-sighted.
The veil in Yao Mengdie's hand was almost torn to pieces. The status of the legitimate daughter of the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion was indeed not low.
Who said her father was only the second wife? He was only a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, with an official position of the fifth rank, which was indeed incomparable with the eldest brother.
Yao Menglian's eyes also twinkled. The gift the prince's wife gave her before was not that important. It was just a red gold bracelet inlaid with coral beads. It was much inferior to Yao Mengxian's mutton-fat white jade bracelet.
"Take it if it's given to you! The crown prince's wife has a lot of dowry! It would be best if her dowry is emptied."
A few people chatted and laughed for a while before heading to the main courtyard.
"Princess! The wives and girls are almost here. Your Highness, please go out to see the ceremony." The eldest girl, Lu Qiao, urged Princess Rongjia.
Princess Rongjia touched the bun on her head and said, "What's the hurry? The flower viewing party is early! Even if I go early, I'll be chatting with those ladies. It's so boring!"
As soon as Ding's mother entered the house, she heard the princess's words and quickly stepped forward to persuade her: "My good princess, today is your highness's flower viewing party. It's better for you not to be late and make your highness unhappy.
"
Princess Rongjia smiled faintly and did not reply. Instead, she stood up and took two steps.
Wearing a light purple folded flower gown and a dark-flowered fine silk pleated satin skirt, the light purple color made Princess Rongjia's appearance as gorgeous as a peach and plum.
On her head she wore a ruby beaded flower, a jade-leaf golden cicada hairpin was inserted in her bun, a pair of purple jade hibiscus earrings hung on her ears, and a gold flowered bracelet made her wrists even more slender.
Mother Ding looked at Princess Rongjia up and down and nodded with satisfaction.
"The princess is naturally beautiful. When she is dressed like this today, her appearance is even more dignified and beautiful. No girl can compare with the princess."
Mother Ding looked at the beautiful princess and couldn't help but feel pleased.
"My mother would make fun of me. When it comes to beauty, the girls from the aristocratic families in our capital city all have their own merits. The girl from the Zhenguo Palace looks pretty good to me, and she is not inferior to me."
The princess walked to the bronze mirror, stared at the elegant and beautiful woman in the mirror, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She inherited her mother's beauty. Although her appearance is gorgeous, her temperament is luxurious, which does not make people feel gaudy, but rather dignified.
Mother Ding curled her lips, "No matter how good they look, they are still not as noble as the princess. What's more, the princess's appearance is very similar to His Highness. Who didn't praise His Highness's beauty back then?"
"Mom is just a saleswoman selling melons. If outsiders hear about it, wouldn't it make people think we are frivolous?"
Mother Ding was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Princess Rongjia, "Let's go! Don't make mother really impatient."
If all the guests are here and she fails to show up, it will be disrespectful and the ladies of the family will whisper about her behind her back.
Ding's mother walked behind the princess. She felt that the princess was a little strange and seemed to pay special attention to Jin'er's dress.
However, she didn't think too much about it, she just thought that the princess was a big girl, and there were some ladies here today, so she paid special attention to dressing up.
"Jin Yu! You came early today!" Zhu Pang blinked at Gu Chengyu with a very wretched expression.
Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes at him angrily, "These two are Bian Yunyi and Tong Qiutang from the Hanlin Academy. Do you know Senior Brother Zheng? They are both common people like you."
"Zhu Pang has met Mr. Bian and Mr. Tong." Zhu Pang was casual with Gu Chengyu, but he still followed etiquette in front of others.
"Master Zhu, there is no need to be polite!"
Bian Yunyi and Tong Qiutang knew Zhu Pang originally, but in the past they only focused on reading books about sages, so they did not hang out with a playboy like Zhu Pang.
"Master Bian, Master Tong!" Zheng Lun also stepped forward to greet the two of them.
"Master Zheng!"
"I didn't expect four of us from the Hanlin Academy to come. What a coincidence." Zheng Lun led a few people to find an empty place to sit down.
It’s not that there are no young officials here, it’s just that there are almost none above the sixth rank.
There was a favor system in the Dayan Dynasty. Civilian officials of the fourth rank and above, local officials of the third rank and above, and military officials of the second rank and above, all had an opportunity to be favored. That is, sending the younger members of the family to the Imperial Academy to attend school, or to find a job. However,
I can only be kind to you.
Therefore, there are many brothers in the aristocratic family who are fighting for this quota of grace.
Several people have different identities, and those people do not want to deal with these people. There is no way, these are all white!
"The person who sent me here is the Fourth Young Master of Qin. I don't know who he is?" Gu Chengyu asked several people.
Everyone knew that Gu Chengyu was not from the capital. Even if he became an official, he would only know court officials. Since the Fourth Young Master of Qin was still there, it was naturally impossible for Gu Chengyu to recognize all the princes from the famous families in the capital.
"Ahem! The Fourth Young Master of Qin is the second son of the Duke of Qin, named Qin Ke." The person who replied was Bian Yunyi, the second son of Bian Shengrong, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Bian Shengrong was originally the minister of Guanglu Temple. After Wan Xuannian's death, he was promoted to the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, which was regarded as a higher promotion.
Gu Chengyu knew what he meant. The second wife of the Duke of Qin's mansion had a legitimate son, but it was a pity that the second master of Qin did not have a legitimate son, and the first wife only gave birth to two daughters.15
