My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 223: Meeting the Crown Princess at the Hundred Days Banquet

Put two people together, one is as hot as a fireball and the other is as bright as the moonlight. Although they are twins, they have different personalities and tempers. Everyone who raises two children can always find some differences. of joy.

"How can I say that my sister is very lucky? Not only her children are outstanding, but now she has such a pair of wonderful grandchildren, it really makes me feel unspeakable envy."

The person who said this was Mrs. Pei's close friend in Hanzhou. They had known each other for many years, so these words had reached Mrs. Pei's heart. Mrs. Pei and Jiang Shiyuan were also fighting with many officials and their families in Hanzhou. Say hello.

However, because they were not very familiar with each other, they didn't have much to say except daily greetings. Instead, they waited until the arrival of the Crown Princess of Han Dynasty, which made Jiang Shiyuan feel a little happier.

This princess came from the Xie family in Xuzhou. Although she was still very young when she left Xuzhou, she had heard about the reputation of the Xie family. It was said that the ancestors of the Xie family had several important ministers in the cabinet, and then if not for the decline of their descendants, Because of this, he would not leave Xijing City and retreat to Xuzhou.

But despite this, the Xie family in Xuzhou is still a prominent family that no one dares to underestimate.

This daughter of the Xie family is even more famous. Jiang Shiyuan had heard about her when he was in Xijing City. Looking at her appearance today, she is indeed beautiful and handsome with some gentleness and aura, which is completely different from the Crown Prince of Han next to her. .

Jiang Shiyuan felt vaguely unworthy of the Crown Princess. In her opinion, she felt that the Crown Prince was completely unworthy of the Crown Princess. But under the current situation, she had no choice but to follow her mother-in-law and step forward and salute to the two of them.

"I have met the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

The prince of Han Dynasty raised his hand slightly. He didn't feel any joy at all about coming to this banquet, so he didn't bother to interact with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, when he saw Jiang Shiyuan, he was still a little shocked by her beauty.

While his eyes showed wonder, he was interrupted by the Crown Princess's words.

"Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei are so polite. Please get up quickly. Today is a big day for your Pei family. The prince and I are just here to join in the fun. By the way, I brought two good-looking girls from my parents' house to return them. A nice mutton-fat jade pendant was given to the two children as a gift, hoping that they would grow up safely and happily. "

Such ordinary congratulations are what Jiang Shiyuan and Mrs. Pei want to hear most. The power of their Pei family is already great enough, and they don't even expect their children to shine brightly or get enough safety in this place. Growing up smoothly is what they care about most.

Therefore, Jiang Shiyuan took it personally. As soon as the brocade box was opened, everyone saw the mutton-fat jade pendant. The appearance was not only good, it was simply excellent, so they responded respectfully.

"The Crown Princess is very considerate. I want to thank you on behalf of the two children."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Pei. I heard that you were also born in Xuzhou when you were young, but we didn't know each other very well at that time. Now we are lucky enough to be married to Hanzhou together. It's better to move around more in the future."

The princess's words laid the foundation for their future friendship. Jiang Shi wanted to get closer, so he agreed with a smile.

Then he took the Crown Princess into the inner room to rest.

Today at this banquet, the most distinguished person is the Crown Princess of Han. As for the Crown Prince of Han, she has just left for the front hall, so she is not counted.

She was courteous and generous in her dealings with others, and she did not appear arrogant. Such an appearance made many family members in the city couldn't help but sigh, this Crown Princess is indeed a person. Jiang Shiyuan had lived in both Xuzhou and Xijing, so he naturally had wider knowledge. While chatting happily with the imperial concubine, he also aroused the envy of other officials and family members.

You must know that this Crown Princess looks gentle and polite, and can talk to everyone for a few words, but it is really rare to be able to talk as much as she does today. In the past, their impression of this young lady of the Pei family was very shallow. , seeing her getting along with the Crown Princess neither humble nor overbearing today, everyone felt a little more in awe.

The lady who was still talking just now smiled and whispered to Mrs. Pei.

"You and I are both old, and we will have to look after these young ladies in the future."

Mrs. Pei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as she always did, so the lady didn't think much about it. On the contrary, the women from aristocratic families who usually had a good relationship with Pei Zixuan looked down on Jiang Shiyuan's behavior.

"Those who spend all their time climbing around are no different from those ordinary vulgar women. They just have a better life. But what's the use of a short-lived one? They are also spreading rumors outside that they are terminally ill and will die soon after. Having two children, wouldn’t it mean that she would take advantage of all the good things?”

Pei Zifeng was a well-known figure in Hanzhou, so women from all the families thought about him, but they only thought about him secretly. For so many years, no one dared to come to discuss his marriage. , everyone is curious about who can be the young lady of the Pei family in the end?

Unexpectedly, a sick man from Xijing City was allowed to get there first. Now he has given birth to two children, and his position is becoming more and more stable.

I heard that the couple had a harmonious relationship, which really **** off the girls who had their thoughts but didn't dare to come forward.

No matter who hears such secret discussions, they will have unpleasant thoughts. In addition to the two maids accompanying Jiang Shiyuan, there are several newly sent female guards. Although their ears are not as good as Pei's, Zi Yao is so sensitive, but he can still hear some noises, so his eyes are sharp.

I took a look at the women who liked to talk nonsense, and secretly made a note in my mind. The host would lose face if they made such a fuss, but they knew how to deal with it afterwards.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't know the situation, so he spent the whole time chatting with the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess was indeed a learned person. Whenever she mentioned some strange writings and stories, she looked at them more than Jiang Shiyuan, which made Jiang Shiyuan admire him very much.

"I have a cousin sister-in-law in Xijing City who comes from the family of Shangshu Ling. She is also a well-read person. If there is a chance next time, I will introduce my cousin-in-law to meet the imperial concubine. You two will definitely have something to say with your talents and knowledge. Not finished."

"Oh, you are talking about the daughter of the Xiang family who married into the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion?"

"Exactly."

"If it is her, then I have heard about her. Unfortunately, she is in the south and north. I don't know what kind of occasion it will be if I want to see her in the future."

What the Crown Princess said was true. According to the current situation, unless the Crown Prince of Han and the Crown Princess received an imperial edict and went to the Hajj, they would indeed not have any chance to see each other. Therefore, Jiang Shiyuan did not say anything more. .
