The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 54 Between Women
There was a constant stream of traffic in front of Prince Xuan's palace, and there were horse-drawn carriages. In order to provide comfort and show off their wealth, some families made their carriages super large, with seats for lying or sleeping inside, and with coffee tables, like a small mobile room, which took up much more space than modern cars.
Therefore, after dropping off the person, each family would turn the horses around and go back, and then come back to pick up the person at the next time. However, the road was so narrow that the horses turning around would be squeezed together with the oncoming horses. Experienced drivers could control them well, but young and inexperienced ones would be squeezed together. The scene was really spectacular.
They arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion a little late and had to get off the carriage at a long distance. The women of Hua Mansion walked to the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion. Prince Xuan also arrived on horseback, followed by Jie'an and Yiqi.
Next came the carriages of the prince and the princess. Chunliu carried the two young masters down, and several maids who followed behind hurried up to help carry the things.
Miao Xinyi's carriage was left far behind. The driver whipped the horse hard, but it still lagged behind by a long distance.
"Master, those are the women from the Prime Minister's family," Jie'an had sharp eyes. He couldn't wait to know what Hua Qianyu looked like and whether she was worthy of his master.
Liu Jingcheng didn't say anything and looked at Hua Xiyu. Her tall stature and confident and outspoken temperament made her stand out among the crowd of women. She wore a light blue long skirt with a beige top and a belt of the same color that perfectly showed off her slender waist. She had short hair, which was obvious from the hair crown on her head.
Even though she was wearing a veil, one could still feel that there was an otherworldly face underneath.
Yiqi glanced at Jie'an and quickly followed the prince's steps. Jie'an didn't know what he had said wrong and also followed quickly.
"Greetings, Prince Hong." When they saw him coming, those who knew him hurriedly bowed to him, and those who didn't know him followed suit. Only Hua Xiyu stared at him, and when she saw his face clearly, she thought to herself, "So this is the guy I'm going to marry."
I feel like I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where.
Seeing him looking at her, she reached out and touched her face. The veil was still on her face. What was he looking at? He didn't know her. Oh, it was better that he didn't know her. Oh, that's not right. This guy is good-looking. It seems that it is not impossible for him to be a boyfriend.
When Chunliu saw the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she instinctively shrank back, especially when she saw Hua Yuwei, for fear that he would kill her to silence her. After all, Chunliu was the only one in the world who knew the young lady's secret.
She had thought about telling Prime Minister Hua the secret that Miss Zhen was still alive, but before she found the chance, the Miss disappeared again. She had to keep the secret in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable for so many years.
The group filed into Prince Xuan's mansion. Liu Yunxuan helped her sister greet the male guests at the door, while Princess Xuan greeted the female guests at the door.
When meeting the prince and princess of the palace, Princess Xuan enthusiastically picked up Lan Xi and said, "My little darling, you are becoming more and more lovable."
Lan Xi called out in a coquettish voice, "Sixth Emperor Grandma."
Oh my god, Princess Xuan's heart almost melted. She glared at Liu Yunxuan with resentment, asking why he didn't give her a grandson as soon as possible.
Princess Anping Liu Luanying is turning 16 today. The main purpose of Prince Xuan's Mansion today is to find a suitable place for Princess Anping, so all the young people in their families who are of the right age have received invitations.
Prince Xuan is the youngest brother of Emperor Shunhe, and Princess Xuan is less than 40 years old. According to seniority, the eldest and second sons should call her grandma.
Guests cannot always block the door. When Princess Xuan was holding Erbao and talking, she had already blocked the women of the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the door. Hua Xiyu saw the bracelet on Erbao's wrist at a glance, and she recognized it as the bracelet of the Shi family.
The Shi family's bracelet appeared in ancient times. What does this mean? She suddenly became excited. There must be other travelers like her. They must be from the same hometown.
Entering the gate of Prince Xuan's Palace, Hua Xiyu was amazed by a carved jade screen with the inscription "Purple Air Coming from the East". My goodness, it was estimated to be 9*2 meters, surrounded by auspicious flowers and birds, and the colors were very harmoniously matched, which made people like it at first sight.
The guests entered the palace from both sides by walking around the screen, and it took a long walk to reach the main hall. The servant who led the way led them around the main house and went straight forward, passing a long rose wall, and finally came to an open courtyard, which was as large as several football fields.
Some flowers, plants and trees were planted around the periphery. The middle part, about 2 meters wide, was raised about 10 centimeters high, like a dividing line, separating male and female guests.
The male and female guests consciously gathered separately, with men on the left and women on the right. Since there was no obstruction in the middle, the two sides were just separated by a distance, and the sight and sound were not obstructed.
Hua Xiyu guessed that today's banquet should be held here. With so many people, it couldn't be accommodated indoors and had to be held outdoors.
The prince and the princess are both children. If they are accompanied by their mothers, they will naturally follow their mothers to the women's seat. But without their mothers, the little girls cannot sit at the men's seat. Chun Liu had to take the two little masters to the women's seat.
Hua Xiyu was looking for the little girl in the crowd, wanting to confirm the bracelet and ask who her parents were.
But there is no way, she must be the focus today. Although the imperial edict has not been issued, everyone knows that she will marry Prince Hong and become his principal wife. There are all kinds of people who are envious, jealous and resentful, and the majority of people just want to laugh at her.
"Oh, this is the eldest daughter that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion brought back from Shuiyue Temple." A girl began to block her way in a sarcastic tone.
"Of course not, Shuiyue Temple, what kind of place is that?" a sharp and sarcastic voice from the back immediately echoed.
"Is she worthy of being the Princess of Prince Hong?" Chen Yaqian snorted in her heart. Five years ago, she was supposed to be married to Prince Hong, but two children suddenly appeared in the palace, so her marriage fell through. After that, she hurriedly married Tan Youwei, the second son of the Tan family, a third-rank official.
Although Tan Youwei's name is Youwei, he is actually a mediocre person. In the past five years, he has had eight concubines. That would have been fine, but he took five imperial examinations in five years and failed even the joint examination, let alone the palace examination. When the Tan family proposed to marry him, they praised him to the skies, but after he got married, they realized that Tan Youwei was just a piece of mud.
But what can she do? She can only swallow it and turn all her hatred into the fault of not being able to marry Prince Hong. If the emperor had not intended to grant the marriage to Prince Hong, the Chen family would not have rejected the Zhou family's marriage proposal. As a result, neither side gained anything and ended up like this.
Now, seeing a silly woman going to marry Prince Hong, how could she be willing in her heart? She didn't know whether Prince Hong was really silly or just pretending to be silly. Back then, she, the granddaughter of the great Taifu, was unwilling to marry him, but now he wants to marry a silly woman who grew up in Shuiyue Temple. It was really ironic.
Chen Yaqian's cold snort resonated with a group of women.
How boring it was in the ancient times without entertainment. It was even more boring for the women who were locked up in the backyard all day long. They spent their entire lives busying themselves for men and children, and gossiping about other people's affairs after dinner was their only pleasure.
Modern women are always comparing themselves with their husbands and children. Just think about the lives of ancient women who had no entertainment at all and how much they needed spice.
How could these bored women miss such an exciting show like Hua Xiyu's, so more and more people came over to watch the fun.
"A good-for-nothing idiot dreams of becoming a princess," Zhou Liyao sneered, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, ensuring that everyone present could hear it.
Of course, Hua Xiyu also heard it and understood it. It turned out that he couldn't stand the fact that she was going to marry Prince Hong and was jealous to the point of going crazy!
Hua Xiyu looked back and gave Zhou Liyao a brilliant smile. A brilliant peach blossom instantly blossomed on his left cheek. The slightly upturned right corner of his mouth, in the eyes of a woman, was full of sarcasm, contempt, and arrogance that looked down on everyone.
In the man's eyes, it was like flowers blooming and a spring breeze blowing gently across his heart, guiding his steps and making him move closer unconsciously.
Although men and women sit at separate tables, they have not yet officially taken their seats. In a crowded place, a few words of conversation are harmless and will not cause any loss of reputation.
A few male guests gathered around, and then more male guests followed. People who had seen others gather around and followed blindly to see what was going on also gathered around, and then more and more people gathered around.
Hua Xiyu smiled in her heart. She was so jealous because she just wanted to see her feel ashamed of herself, feel unworthy, inferior, and humble herself in fear and trepidation. But, who am I? I am Hua Xiyu. There are few men in the world who are not worthy of me.
She walked up to Zhou Liyao, patted her shoulder, and said exaggeratedly, "Oh, sister, you can see how pitiful I am. I just came back from Shuiyue Temple, and then I heard that I was going to marry Prince Hong. I was so sad. Prince Hong is so old, and I am only 20 years old. How can he be worthy of my beauty?"
Then he turned around and looked at the girls around him who were watching the fun, and said, "I don't know which wicked person spread such rumors, forcing me to get married. It's really annoying."
The girls who originally wanted to humiliate her and embarrass her were unable to react for a moment and could not respond to her words. How could she be so shameless and arrogant?
The girls were speechless, but the men were instantly shocked, saying, "This is too crazy."
Prince Xuan bumped into Liu Jingcheng and said, "Hey, cousin, your fiancée is so awesome."
"Don't say anything, they are all rumors." At present, it is indeed a rumor because the imperial edict has not been issued yet.
Liu Jingcheng suddenly didn't want her to be too dazzling. He was afraid that the queen would turn around and find that she was not a fool and take back the imperial edict. So he signaled Yiqi to create some other trouble to divert everyone.
