After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

This was the first time Yuan Wanru met Concubine Liang.

To be honest, Concubine Liang and Liang Yusong look somewhat similar, but if you look closely, Concubine Liang is not as pretty as Liang Yusong.

She had her hair styled in an elegant peony bun, her hair kept black and shiny. On her bun was a ruby ​​and gold hairpin, the huge ruby ​​was bright and sparkling.

The intricate and gorgeous gold-woven palace dress exudes luxury and grandeur when worn. Her every move reveals composure and confidence, making up for some of her shortcomings in appearance.

Princess An Ning was as well dressed as Concubine Liang.

The winter clothes are made of tribute satin and Shu brocade. The collar and cuffs of the clothes are embroidered with cloud and bat patterns in gold thread with delicate needlework. The hem of the skirt is dotted with tiny pearls and gems, which are dazzling and sparkling.

Although the Crown Princess was the host, Concubine Liang and Princess An Ning were elders, so the two of them sat in the main seat, and the Crown Princess's seat was slightly lower.

The Crown Princess made an opening statement, "Winter is about to arrive. The winds have been strong these past two days, making it unsuitable to go out. So I came up with an idea: to hold a flower viewing banquet in the warm pavilion. We'll have some fun and entertainment."

"I just mentioned that Concubine Liang, Aunt An Ning, and the Queen's Aunt are all very supportive. They sent a lot of potted plants. Thank you all for your trouble."

There are twenty or thirty pots of green plants in the room, each with a different shape.

They are placed in an orderly manner on the other side of the house, adding vitality and elegance.

These potted plants, including wintersweets, pine branches, green bamboos, orchids, daffodils, etc., exude the fragrance of nature. When you are among them, your mood will unconsciously become much better.

The Princess of Qin spoke softly and slowly, which was pleasant to the ear.

"The one who has to worry the most is the Crown Princess. I just brought three pots of 'Three Friends of Winter'."

Mrs. Wang, from the Minister of Rites' household, smiled and said, "So the 'Three Friends of Winter' were sent by the Princess. I fell in love with that pot of wintersweet the first time I saw it."

The Princess of Qin and Madam Wang were likely to become in-laws. "If Madam Wang likes it, she can take it away after the banquet."

Mrs. Wang was not polite either. "Then I will shamelessly accept it."

Princess An Ning said happily, "The pearls of his family are all going to be sent to your home. I hope you will take good care of them. It's just a pot of wintersweet, please take it generously."

Although the marriage proposal between Murong Ling and the Third Master Wang was not widely publicized, the circle was so small and everyone was well-informed, so everyone knew everything they needed to know.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Yuan Wanru glanced at Murong Ling, who had a stern face and was obviously unhappy.

Mrs. Wang was sitting next to Princess Qin, so she naturally couldn't miss Murong Ling's expression, but she didn't care.

What she valued was the favors from the Prince of Qin's Mansion and Princess An Ning, not Murong Ling herself.

If my son is not happy with his life, I can just give him a concubine in a few years.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, the Crown Princess invited everyone present to come and admire the potted plants.

The banquet room was very large, and even with so many people walking around inside, it didn't feel crowded.

Sun Haining and Yuan Wanru walked the slowest and fell behind.

Sun Haining whispered to Yuan Wanru: "I really don't like being stuck in the house, looking at these flowers and plants."

She only likes to wield swords, tend to flowers and plants, and appreciate and comment on things. For her, it is really a waste of time.

However, Sun Huanzhi analyzed the purpose of this banquet to her. It was another way of "showing favor" and a social occasion, so she could not act willfully.

Sun Huan's words "This is also the way to be an official" blocked all of Sun Haining's excuses.

Yuan Wanru couldn't help but tease her when she heard her complain: "Now, you are being controlled by Sun Shizi."

Sun Haining's eyes sparkled, "That's right."

It can be seen that although she doesn't like it, she still tries hard to learn and adapt. She must have learned a lot of "official skills" following Sun Huanzhi these days.

That's a good thing.

When two people get together, they have endless things to talk about.

Liang Yusong pretended to be casual and glanced at Yuan Wanru. The woman was cute and playful, young and beautiful, and she really had a good appearance.

However, if she were to be tortured and defiled, she would probably never have such a comfortable and clean smile again.

He walked around the potted plant and sat down again.

The Crown Princess asked about Kong Xiuyun's injuries with concern. Yuan Wanru could see that Mrs. Kong had a thick layer of powder on her face, probably to cover up her haggard look.

However, the tiredness in her eyes could not hide her exhausted condition.

"Thank you, Princess Crown Princess, for your concern. The Imperial Physician has been diligently treating me day and night. I, your wife, and I are grateful for your grace."

"From now on, just take good care of it."

She didn't want to say more, otherwise, she might lose her composure on the spot.

A good child, but now he has a lame leg. What should he do in his life?

The Crown Princess also knew that the imperial physician had said that the injury was too severe and Kong Xiuyun's leg probably could not be cured.

Pity.

When talking about this, Sun Haining's face looked unhappy. She clenched the teacup and held back.

Concubine Liang also expressed her concern and sent a lot of medicinal herbs to the Kong family.

Mrs. Kong had no choice but to stand up and express her gratitude. She thanked him repeatedly, but there was not much light in her eyes.

Yuan Wanru thought that after returning to Beijing, she could ask Su Shaodong to act as a helper and take a look at Kong Xiuyun. Maybe there would be other ways.

While she was lost in thought, she heard Concubine Liang ask, "Mrs. Lu is quite quiet. During this period, thanks to the Lu family for taking care of Yu Shuang. I'm sorry for causing trouble to your family."

Yuan Wanru secretly sneered, knowing that it would cause trouble, but still refusing to leave?

Before she could say anything, Princess An Ning asked curiously, "Why does Yu Shuang want to live in the Lu family?"

Princess An Ning has not paid attention to news from the capital for a long time due to health reasons.

Concubine Liang said helplessly, "My father has been traveling and hasn't returned yet. I only have my second brother and his family at home. They say that family disgrace should not be made public, but everyone knows about the Liang family's troubles in the early years, so I have nothing to hide."

It was nothing more than talking about the incident in the past where the illegitimate son of the Liang family relied on his concubine to gain favor, and the Duke of Wei was partial to him and forced the eldest wife of the Liang family to be exiled.

"It's a coincidence that Yusong learned medical skills from her maternal grandfather and happened to save Old Madam Lu who had returned from visiting her parents. That's why my brother shamelessly asked the Lu family to take care of Yusong for a while."

Concubine Liang looked at Yuan Wanru and said, "The Crown Prince's wife has always taken good care of Yusong. As her aunt, I want to thank you on her behalf."

As she spoke, she took off one of her bracelets and asked the palace maid beside her to give it to Yuan Wanru.

Princess Qin covered her mouth and exclaimed, "My Lady Liang, this bracelet was given to you by the Queen Mother when you were pregnant with the Second Prince. You are so willing to give it away."

Concubine Liang smiled gently and said, "Princess Qin has a good eye. It is exactly that yellow jade bracelet."

Giving her such a valuable thing for no reason is not a good idea no matter how you think about it.

The palace maid walked up to Yuan Wanru with the bracelet in both hands, but Yuan Wanru didn't dare to accept it.

"I am terrified. The head of the Lu family is the Marquis' wife. I don't interact much with Miss Liang, let alone take care of her. I don't deserve anything without merit. How dare I accept your generous gift? Please revoke your order."
