Chapter 300: Random Matchmaking
On September 20th, the queen held a flower-viewing banquet in the palace and invited wealthy officials to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers.
Although the invitation was in the name of flower viewing, everyone knew who the flower viewing party was for.
The princess has just come back and is still familiar with everything in the Kingdom of Jin. She has no friends around her that she can talk to.
The Queen Mother is doing this to establish a good relationship between the noble daughter of the aristocratic family and the princess.
Jiang Yi received Ling Ning and the distinguished guests from the Kingdom of Mu at the Qinzheng Palace, while Yan Li only brought one Nanny Pan to the Royal Garden.
"I heard that His Highness has fallen in love with Miss Chu and plans to send someone to the Chu family to propose marriage. Do you know if Miss Chu knows about this?"
A group of young girls were sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden. They were wearing thick autumn clothes. Each of them was accompanied by a maid. They were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.
"냭 I heard 놖꿵 personally mention this matter." A woman wearing an apricot-colored coat skirt smiled warmly, with an expression of 놊knowing the matter, "놊 actually wanted 놖 to marry the prince. , so this matter should be just a rumor." Tianlai Novel Network.
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl in blue across from him frowned and said, "I think the second prince is steady, progressive, responsible, and good-looking. He is a man with many talents."
The woman in an apricot coat and skirt smiled faintly: "I often stay at home, and I know what the second prince looks like. Naturally, I have no way of knowing whether he is better or better."
"By saying this, Miss Chu is trying to distance herself from the second prince?" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl said with a pleased look on her face, "The second prince is a very talented man, and he is admired by noble ladies who know a lot about Kyoto. Why do you still act like this, Miss Chu?" Dislike the appearance?"
The woman in Xingyi's smile faintly said: "Miss Rong should know how important a daughter's family name is. If you just talk nonsense here without even mentioning the eight characters, is it because you messed up the rules, or because you dislike the second prince?"
The woman called Miss Rong's face turned cold: "Chu Qinqin, why are you so noble?"
"Elder princess, this woman is the daughter of General Rong." When the garden entered, the nanny stood beside Yan Li and introduced the identities of several noble ladies to her. "She said these words to Miss Chu today because she wanted to represent her." The second prince tested the Chu family's attitude, and even spared no effort to bring the second prince and Miss Chu together. "
The defense between men and women in Jin State was very serious.
Once word spreads that the Second Prince is interested in Miss Chu, other people will subconsciously think that there must be something between them, even if Miss Chu herself is nothing.
It just so happens that the prince has a noble status and is a man. Usually it is the woman who suffers in this kind of thing.
"The woman in blue clothes, Qi Yao, is the daughter of the official Qi Shangshu family, and she is engaged to the eldest prince." Mammy's eyes fell on another woman in the pavilion, "The official department is an official who supports the eldest prince. Miss Qi and Miss Rong are still friends.”
Yan Li was silent for a moment: "The eldest prince and the second prince are competitors, but Miss Rong and Miss Qi are good friends?"
"Girls' friendship affects their stance." Madam Pan said with a smile, "Who gets along well with someone depends purely on temperament and whether they have a common goal."
Such as the current situation.
The common goal of Qi Yao and Rong Ning is Chu Qinqin.
Yan Li was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Moreover, the Minister of Libu is Mrs. Kang's cousin." Madam Pan said calmly, "Although the Kang family is the backing of the second prince, the Shangshu of the Libu did not turn to the second prince because of Mrs. Kang's relationship. We support him. 놅 is the eldest prince."
All relatives belong to relatives, and the position belongs to the position.
But Yan Li heard one thing clearly. She overthrew the Kang family in Yanling, but she offended General Rong's family. If Mr. Qi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had a deep relationship with Mrs. Kang, he would definitely hate her to death.
So the Qi family naturally didn't like her as the eldest princess.
Yan Li couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
Okay, it should be a surprise.
After all, the forces between the DPRK and China are intertwined, and nepotism and in-laws can be a problem.
To overthrow a family, but to stop this family is affected.
I'm afraid there are many people secretly waiting to teach her a lesson.
Yan Li walked toward the pavilion, with several thoughts passing through her mind.
There is no unreasonable dislike between people, especially between officials and their daughters.
Because today's enemy will definitely be tomorrow's friend.
Before getting to know a person, it is naturally impossible to make a correct judgment based on superficial phenomena. Therefore, Yanli intends to judge directly and meet them head-on. After getting to know these ladies, they will definitely be involved with her.
Yan Li walked up to the pavilion.
Several women sitting in the pavilion all turned their heads and looked over, with a somewhat appraising look in their eyes.
"The eldest princess has arrived, are you ladies still sitting down?" Mother Pan's expression darkened and she spoke coldly.
After the words fell, several women stood up and said, "I have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
"No courtesy." Yan Li sat down at the head seat at the table, "Everyone, please take a seat."
Outside the pavilion, a maid came over with tea cups and placed refreshments in front of each woman.
Yan Li raised her eyes slightly and smiled faintly: "I just heard you talking about Miss Chu. Do you know who is Miss Chu?"
Chu Qinqin stood up generously and bowed her knees: "My maid, Chu Qinqin, is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
Yan Li said in a gentle tone: "Miss Chu must be polite."
"Reporting to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess." Chu Qinqin continued, "My daughter's marriage is subject to her mother's order and the matchmaker's advice. It cannot be accomplished by just a few little daughters getting together to criticize each other. I hope that your highness, the eldest princess, will be aware of it."
Miss Rong's face turned cold: "Chu Qinqin, what do you mean? Do you want to say that you are criticizing your marriage?"
"Whether I mean to criticize you deliberately, Miss Rong knows it in her heart." Chu Qinqin said in a light tone, humble and arrogant, "If Miss Rong thinks that the second prince is handsome, she can marry him by herself, don't drag me into it."
Rong Ning's face changed: "Chu Qinqin, you——"
"Enough!" Nanny Pan's voice turned cold, and her stern eyes swept over Rong Ning, "The princess is here, Miss Rong is still calling you little, how can it be?"
Rong Ning was scolded in public, and was obviously very angry: "I have been talking like this before. If I scare the princess, I will apologize to Her Highness the Princess."
As she said that, she knelt down and bowed perfunctorily.
"Is that how you talked before?" Yan Li held the teacup in her hand and smiled carelessly, "It seems that Miss Rong is a person of temperament, and she is very reserved in her speech."
After saying this, the other women looked at Yan Li at the same time, and then looked away after a moment. Some lowered their heads to drink tea, and some turned their heads to appreciate the scenery.
Rong Ning's expression froze, and she looked at Yan Li in disbelief.
Reserved?
Is this a good thing?
It clearly means that she doesn't know the rules and has no education.
Because of the incident of the Kang family in Yanling, Rong Ning had a preconceived hostility towards Yan Li, and even wanted to give her a show of power, but she didn't expect that she failed to show power, but was ridiculed by the newly returned princess.
Rong Ning was resentful, but she remembered that she was in the palace now, and it would be bad for her if she made a big fuss.
She gritted her teeth, suppressed her contempt, and said humbly: "Thank you, Her Highness, the Princess, for your praise. I dare not."
"The Princess is very much like what you imagined." Qi Yao smiled a little, and there was a trace of contempt in her eyes. "I heard that the Princess knows some martial arts. It just so happens that Rong Ning lives in the General's Mansion and has liked to dance with guns since she was a child. Do you know if Her Highness, the Princess, is better than Miss Rong?"
