Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly
Chapter 29: The Cousin of the Prince in the House Fighting Novel (7)
Princess Hexin was the elder sister of the late emperor. When the princes were fighting for power, the fifth prince succeeded in taking the throne, but because he came to the throne illegitimately, the imperial seal was missing. Therefore, there were still many voices of opposition from both inside and outside the court.
Seeing that Jiankang was about to fall into chaos again, Princess Hexin stood up at this time, holding the imperial seal in her hand, and made an impassioned speech at the court meeting, rejecting all objections and consolidating the throne of the fifth prince.
Therefore, after the fifth prince ascended the throne, he showed particular respect to this aunt. Not only did he grant her the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely, he also specially ordered someone to build the current princess mansion for her.
The princess's mansion covers a huge area. Even for a servant with nimble legs and feet, it would take more than half an hour to walk from the gate to the viewing area, not to mention the ladies who usually never get their shoes dirty. Therefore, the eldest princess specially arranged dozens of sedan chairs to pick up and drop off the female relatives who came today.
Lin Xi got on the sedan chair and recalled that in the original plot, the heroine Cen Yan was reborn the day before the Spring Banquet. In order to teach her concubine sister and the scumbag a lesson, she deliberately released two poisonous snakes while admiring the flowers.
Instead of scaring the concubine sister and the scumbag, an innocent young lady fell into the pool. Coincidentally, the young lady was Lan Zhi. Although Cen Yan jumped into the pool in time to rescue Lan Zhi, the water in the pool was cold in spring, and Lan Zhi still fell seriously ill.
Because of her guilt, she often went to the Duke's Mansion to visit Lan Zhi. The He family, who did not know the truth, regarded her as Lan Zhi's savior and treated her as a guest of honor. As a result, she came into contact with He Lanting, who gradually developed a liking for her.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but hold her forehead in silence. The heroine in this world was so stupid and bad. In her previous life, she was blinded by a man and killed his entire family because of his poor judgment. In this life, her means of revenge were so clumsy.
Releasing a poisonous snake at a flower-viewing banquet where people are coming and going can easily harm others if one is not careful. The most hateful thing is that not only does it affect innocent people, but he also regards himself as a lifesaver and has received many benefits from the Anguo Mansion.
"Why can such a person be reborn?" After receiving all the plots, Lin Xi couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question.
"Sorry, the system cannot answer your question at the moment."
Lin Xi: Your personal computer.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi finally heard a voice saying "They're here." Xue Yun lifted the curtain for her outside. A woman dressed as a palace maid was waiting on the side. When she saw them get off the sedan chair, she sang loudly, "The wife of the Duke of Anguo, the wife of the prefect of Shanzhou, are here!" Master He had completed his term of office and returned to Jiankang. The new appointment letter from the Ministry of Personnel had not yet come down, so the palace maid still addressed Yu by her previous official title.
Many ladies and young ladies had already arrived in the hall, drinking tea and chatting. When they heard this, they all stood up and waited for Xie and her group to enter the room, and they all bowed to her. Xie smiled and asked everyone not to be too polite, and then she was allowed to sit at the lower left seat closest to the main seat.
After Xie and Yu sat down, the round-faced woman in a crimson dress who was closest to her smiled and said, "I've always heard that the girls in the mansion were all beautiful, but you were so stingy. Today you finally decided to bring her out. Why don't you let us see her beauty?" This was Mrs. Wan, the wife of the Earl of Zhongjin. She had a cheerful personality and had always been on good terms with Xie, so she started to tease.
"You rascal, you are always so jealous of other girls when you see them. You hold the girls' hands and talk nonstop. Who dares to bring them out to show you?" Xie also smiled and retorted to her, acting as if she was disgusted.
Wan had been married to the Duke of Zhongjin's house for many years and had given birth to four children, all boys. This was a blessing that everyone envied, but the Duke of Zhongjin's house became wealthy through military merit and had a heroic family tradition. The four boys were always brandishing swords and guns at home, jumping around, making the house a mess, which made Wan very annoyed. Therefore, whenever she saw quiet and well-behaved girls from other families, she would envy them for a long time.
Everyone in the room laughed when they heard this. In fact, they all knew that Xie's only son had been studying abroad in the past few years, and the second wife was in office, so Xie naturally had no chance to bring the child out.
But now that the second wife has returned, and brought back two beautiful girls, the ladies present naturally want to meet them. After the joke, Xie did not act pretentiously anymore, and called Lin Xi, Lan Zhi, and Lan Xue out to greet the ladies.
Today, the three of them wore the same red color, with only slightly different materials, patterns and jewelry. Everyone saw three beautiful girls standing in a row, making it impossible to take their eyes off them, especially the taller girl wearing a Dongzhu crown, who had a skin as white as ice and bones and snow-white skin and a beautiful face.
"It's such a beautiful color. I'm afraid the goddess Xuannv in heaven may not look more beautiful than this." Someone praised.
"It's true that people are more beautiful than flowers. I don't know which boy will get the chance."
Although Lan Zhi and Lan Xue were lively, they were a little shy and lowered their heads slightly in the face of the ladies' praise and teasing. Only Lin Xi was calm, because she felt that the ladies' eyes were different from the pure admiration they gave to Lan Zhi and Lan Xue. Although there was also amazement in their eyes, they were much more complicated.
The news of Lin Xi and Wang Zhuo's divorce was no secret in Jiankang City. After all, there were not many men like Wang Zhuo who were so ignorant and incompetent that they needed their wives to fight in the battlefield. Therefore, everyone was naturally curious about a remarkable woman like Lin Xi.
However, some ladies who brought their daughters here today felt worried for their daughters when they saw Lin Xi's appearance. After all, with the bright moon in front of them, who could have room for fireflies in their eyes?
But no matter what they thought in their hearts, the ladies all smiled. After the three of them bowed, Mrs. Xie waved her hand and said, "You can go out and stroll around the garden. The weeping crabapple in Princess Hexin's mansion is a must-see."
The three of them left the main hall and were led to the Begonia Garden by a maid in green clothes who was waiting outside the hall. The maid in green clothes had a pair of smiling eyes and enthusiastically introduced the scenery along the way to the three of them.
Even though Lin Xi had seen garden landscapes of different styles in many ancient worlds before, he had to praise that this princess's mansion was indeed built with ingenuity.
It was only a quarter of an hour's walk, and wherever you looked you saw a building every five steps, a pavilion every ten steps, and all the pavilions and waterside terraces were beautiful. It was spring, a beautiful time of year, and all the seasonal flowers along the way were blooming beautifully. Maids in green clothes were carrying fruit plates or breaking branches and walking back and forth, making the scene very lively.
