Princess Anle is His Majesty's favorite eldest daughter. She married a legitimate son of a noble family named Wang seven years ago. The couple were inseparable for a while. Later, the king's consort secretly raised an aunt outside, which made Princess Anle angry. He was whipped with a riding crop and driven out of the princess' mansion.
At that time, the whole city knew about this incident, and it ended with the king's consort falling off his horse and dying. Some people once said that the cause of Wang's consort's death was doubtful, but no one could find any evidence. In addition to the subsequent decline of the Wang family, no one dared to mention this matter again. But who is it that the prince's consort is ignorant and dares to do random things outside even after marrying a princess? This is the old birthday star hanging himself and asking for death.
After the death of the king's consort, Princess Anle did not want to remarry, so she raised a group of actors and singers to drink and have fun in the villa. Otherwise, she invited the noble ladies of the capital to play horses and play horses. She can be regarded as the representative of the dandy girl group in the capital. one.
This time Princess Anle held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Almost all the invited ladies went to appreciate it, and soon the village became lively.
"Have you seen Mr. Banxiang?"
"No, she probably won't come today."
"Why?"
"I heard that Shen Tanhua went to Marquis Jingting's Mansion to break off her engagement a few days ago. Shen Tanhua was beaten out by Marquis Jingting that day, and many people saw it."
The ladies have nothing to do on weekdays. When they get together, they inevitably chat about the gossip of each family. Banhua's "engagement was broken off again" can be regarded as a hot topic at the moment.
"If I were her, I wouldn't have the shame to come out and join in the fun," Xie Qilin's sister Xie Wanyu gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered to her companions: "Who of those ridiculous people in that family would dare to marry like this? Who is unlucky?"
Her companion Shi Feixian is the granddaughter of the right minister of the court. Not only is she extremely beautiful, she is also a well-known talented woman in the capital. Even the Queen Mother has praised her personally.
Shi Feixian has a dull temperament, and there are not many people who can be friends with her. Xie Wanyu is one of them. She didn't like Ban Hua's flamboyant temperament very much, so when Xie Wanyu mentioned her, she frowned slightly and said, "Well, it's not a good thing that her daughter's family has been divorced three times. Let's not mention it."
"Even if we don't mention it, others will still gossip," Xie Wanyu thought of her brother, twisting the handkerchief and said, "If she hadn't hindered my brother, how could my brother have hurt his eyes?"
There are few precedents for people with impaired eyesight to appoint officials in the imperial court. Now that his brother has a broken eye, he will not only be unable to serve as an official in the imperial court in the future, but he will also be demoted in marriage matters. Nowadays, my mother sheds tears at home every day. She really couldn't stand the dull atmosphere at home, so she escaped to get some fresh air.
Everyone likes to express their anger. Xie Wanyu doesn't care whether those rumors are true or false. Anyway, she doesn't like Banhua's arrogance. After complaining about Banhua, she feels much better.
Shi Feixian listened quietly without speaking, and naturally did not mention that on the day of Xie Qilin's accident, he wanted to give her a poetry album.
As soon as Banhua got off the carriage, the maids and women who were guarding the gate of the villa came to greet her. No matter what those rich and noble ladies thought of these village gentlemen, they, as slaves, had to serve their master well. Who allowed this girl with a beautiful face and a pleasant mouth to coax the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the palace to like her?
"I've seen you, Lord, so you're here. The princess is waiting in the inner courtyard. I'll show you the way."
Banhua liked it when others held her in her arms like a star over the moon. She showed a bright smile, took out a few silver peanuts from her purse, and threw them to the maid in front of her who said she wanted to guide her: "Let's go, Sister Anle’s chrysanthemums are always more beautiful than those at other people’s homes, how could I not come?”
"Thank you for your reward." The smile on the maid's face became even brighter after receiving the reward, "You go this way and be careful of the steps you step on."
"It's really boring," Princess Anle flicked the jade beads on the plate, glanced at the elegant and noble ladies in the yard, and turned to the nanny beside her, "Isn't Huahua here yet?"
"Princess, Mr. Banxiang hasn't arrived today yet," the nanny thought of the rumors in Beijing in recent days, but did not dare to reveal them in front of the princess, "I think he is on his way."
The master and servant were talking when suddenly the sound of women chatting and laughing came from outside. A woman in gorgeous palace clothes walked towards them with a beauty on her left hand and a beauty on her right hand.
"I wonder who made such a big noise. There is no one else except her." The smile on Princess Anle's face suddenly became brighter. She stood up and walked towards the visitor, "Okay, you are teasing me again. When the time comes, my girls will provoke them to say "Banxiang Jun" to their left and "Banxiang Jun" to their right, but they will forget about me."
"Sister," Banhua let go of the beauty in his hand and wanted to salute Princess Anle. Princess Anle held her in her arms, "Quickly say goodbye. There are many people saluting me, and you are not missing."
"We haven't seen each other for half a month, so we have to put on a show." Banhua and Princess Anle walked into the garden hand in hand. As soon as they stepped in, they felt countless eyes falling on her. She supported Bu Yao on her temples and showed a charming smile to the ladies.
Since they wanted to see it, she let them see it as much as they wanted.
Her skirt today is made of satin, and her jade pendant is chicken-blood jade that even the rich can't buy. Everything from head to toe is exquisite and exquisite. She dressed up carefully for most of the day. Disappointment?
Xie Wanyu's face almost twisted when he saw her arrogant look. Her brother had a broken eye, but Banhua appeared here with a red face and a gorgeous dress. She couldn't swallow the feeling in her heart.
She finally understood why her mother liked to call certain women **** when no one was around, because these two words could vent the anger that had no place in her heart.
The most important thing Princess Anle has here is beauties, wine and delicacies. The courtyard is filled with rich ladies, listening to the music played by the musicians, reciting poems and painting, which is quite a pleasure. Banhua has not learned anything since she was a child. She is not good at reciting poetry or painting. She only has a particularly tricky mouth. She can identify which food and ingredients are old and which are new with just one taste.
"This wine was sent by the people from the village below. How does it taste?" Princess Anle asked Banhua to taste the new fruit wine.
"It's okay," Banhua put his head close to Princess Anle's ear and whispered, "Did you see that Xie Wanyu, when he stared at me, his eyes were about to fall out."
"Why, you two can't play together?" Princess Anle is seven years older than Banhua. For her, she almost grew up watching Banhua, so she is naturally more emotionally inclined to Banhua.
"How can I play with them?" Banhua took a sip of fruit wine and said lazily, "What they love is reciting poems and painting, they are gentle and pleasant. It's not like you don't know when I have liked it. Study."
"Don't complain. If Xie Qilin hadn't eloped with someone, she would have become your sister-in-law."
"Who cares about marrying a man with an eye disease?" Banhua snorted, saying that she was a serious Marquis of the Marquis and refused to marry, but he ran off with a woman from Fireworks Willow Alley, which really made her lose face. "Fortunately, he eloped back then, otherwise I would have to spend the rest of my life guarding a **** and a half-blind man."
She had a crush on Xie Qilin. After all, he was good-looking and could make people happy. At that time, she was young and ignorant, so she asked her parents to agree to his marriage proposal.
Later she realized that it was better to believe in a man's mouth than to believe in seeing ghosts in daylight. When he first asked for marriage, he was considerate and gentle. Later, when he eloped with someone, he acted like I was ignorant back then, but now I have found true love.
And that Xie Wanyu, her brother regretted his marriage and humiliated her back then, but now she has the nerve to treat her with eyes that are not eyes, and a nose that is not a nose. Isn’t this a mental illness?
"Ban Xiangjun, everyone is writing poems and playing, why don't you come?" Xie Wanyu smiled and waved a handkerchief to her, "Come here quickly."
"Tsk," Banhua was too lazy to pay attention to Xie Wanyu's pretending to be friendly. She turned her head and continued chatting with Princess Anle.
She was so disrespectful to Xie Wanyu that Xie Wanyu felt a little embarrassed. She raised her head to meet the eyes of the noble ladies from each family, and said with a forced smile: "Maybe Mr. Banxiang still has some misunderstandings about our family."
Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?
Of course it was the matter of the Xie family breaking off the engagement.
Although women are more comfortable now than in the past, it is still an era where men are superior to women. Even if a man breaks off an engagement, it is the man's fault, but it still has a great impact on a woman's reputation.
If you are good, then why do other people break off the engagement? Since the man insists on breaking off the engagement, there must be something wrong with the woman.
Originally, it was something that the Xie family did unkindly. In view of the dandy style of the Ban family and Banhua's low-key principles of life, many noble ladies acquiesced in Xie Wanyu's statement.
What's the use of being beautiful? Xie Jiaerlang still doesn't want her.
This idea makes many noble ladies feel happy and have a sense of superiority over Banhua. Although the reality is that they don't dare to be like Banhua, who will throw away people's face when they are unhappy, and reward people with gold and silver when they are happy. They will not be like Banhua, who dresses extravagantly and elegantly.
This is wrong. As a woman, the more important thing is posture and connotation. A woman like Banhua is too simple and vulgar, and she has simply lost the face of her family.
"What happened to Shen Yu?" Princess Anle frowned, "Didn't he cry and beg to marry you?"
"Who cares what happened to him." Banhua took a piece of fruit with a silver fork and put it into her mouth. Her bright red and moist lips were like a ripe peach, and Princess Anle couldn't help but reach out and poke it. .
"Retreat as soon as you like him. Apart from his face, there is nothing else that attracts my attention." Banhua put down the silver fork and blinked his beautiful eyes. She remembered that the fate of Shen Yu in the dream was not good either. He had tattoos on his face and was sent to the border.
"You like good-looking men so much, why not marry Rong Xia?" Princess Anle laughed and said, "There is no better-looking man than him in the entire capital."
