This was the first time for Nangong Cheng to participate in such a formal social event, and it was inevitable that she would be a little uneasy. However, Nangong Yue knew these things well based on her previous life experience, and immediately suggested with a smile: "Sister, I remember you. I am very good at embroidery, and I have just learned how to make incense. How about you embroider a sachet yourself, put the calming incense I made in it, and give it to the Jiang family girl, what do you think?"

Nangong Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, she grabbed Nangong Yue's hands with excitement, and said in surprise: "Sister Yue, you have a great idea! Both the sachet and the incense are made by us, just right. It represents our feelings without losing generosity!" As she said that, she couldn't help but look at Nangong Yue with a subtle look, with a hint of astringency in her heart. Her third sister seems to have had an enlightenment recently and is becoming more and more outstanding. But soon she reprimanded herself in her heart: her grandmother was right, she and her third sister represented the Nangong family, and they were both prosperous. She should be happy for her third sister.

Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Cheng with a half-smile, and saw what the other party was thinking. She is a beautiful and intelligent eldest sister, but she is too narrow-minded. Maybe this is why she went astray in her previous life, and finally brought disaster to her family and herself...

Nangong Yue's eyebrows flashed slightly, but she said calmly: "It's a pity that my hands are clumsy. I can only make some incense according to the book. This delicate embroidery work will disturb my elder sister..."

At this time, Nangong Cheng had recovered and said with a smile: "What a great idea! Sister Yue, let's do it together. It's just that the needs for the second and third girls of the Jiang family are different from those for the eldest girl of the Jiang family. The difference is the only thing, how about we make a few more beaded flowers with our own hands?"

"Big sister, you are so considerate!"

After deciding on the gift, Nangong Cheng was relieved. The two discussed the shape, color, and material of the beaded flowers, etc., and unknowingly they talked about embroidery.

"We sisters still owe a little on our embroidery skills, but Cousin Ping is an extraordinary embroiderer. Maybe we..." Nangong Qing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly choked up mid-sentence.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Nangong Qing frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then said tentatively: "Sister Yue, do you think Cousin Ping has been a little strange lately?"

Did Nangong Cheng notice something? Nangong Yue felt interesting in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be confused and asked: "Sister, what's wrong with Cousin Ping?"

Nangong Qing looked a little strange and hesitated to speak: "A few days ago, I went to Rong'an Hall to pay my respects to my grandmother. I went to talk to Cousin Ping on the way to relieve my boredom. I happened to see Cousin Ping embroidering a purse..." Paused. After a pause, she continued, "Originally, it is normal for a girl to embroider a purse and practice female embroidery when she has nothing to do, but... But when I was greeting you at Rong'an Hall this morning, I saw the purse and Ping hanging on my uncle's body. The one my cousin embroidered a few days ago is very similar..." As she said that, she was embarrassed to continue talking, her pretty face turned red.

Hearing this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but think of the pair of fine Hetian jade and white jade bracelets on Su Qingping's wrists. Could it be that the bracelet and purse were the tokens of love between Su Qingping and her fourth uncle?

Nangong Yue twitched her lips sarcastically, and said to Nangong Cheng nonchalantly: "Sister, Cousin Ping is our best friend, how could she be with, with..." She looked like she couldn't bear to say anything, and quickly said The topic came up, "Maybe the purses are similar by chance."

Nangong Cheng opened her mouth but stopped talking. If Cousin Ping's surname hadn't been Su, she would have already reported this matter to her grandmother, but Cousin Ping's surname was Su. If this matter was not handled properly, her grandmother would think that she had looked down on the Su family, which would only make her unhappy.

Maybe it was just a coincidence?

On the day of the flower party, the mansion prepared a carriage for the two girls, and sent them and several personal maids to the Duke of Enguo's mansion on time.

As soon as they got off the carriage at Duke Enguo's Mansion, two pretty maids in blue came over to show them the way and led them to the flower hall.

There is a mahogany square table in the hall. Various fruits are served on the table on white porcelain plates. Various bonsais and vases are placed on the flower table in the corner. A bright octagonal glass lamp illuminates the hall. Brighter.

Mrs. Enguo and his wife are both there. The former is in his sixties, wearing a pea green flowered turban with a crane pattern and a bandanna set with rubies on her head. She is currently Sitting on a mahogany armchair with a smile on his face. Sitting next to her was the Crown Prince's wife. She seemed to be in her thirties, wearing a rose-red jacket. She had a smile on her face and looked very kind. There were four maids in green trousers serving beside him.

"I've met Madam, Madam Prince!" Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue greeted them together.

The two ladies kept the two of them talking for a while, and then ordered the maid to take them to the garden.

The garden of Duke Enguo's Mansion is indeed extraordinary, with water pavilions, rockeries, caves, pools, and various flowers... all made of Taihu stones.

At this time, the garden was still a little deserted. The girls from other mansions had obviously not come yet. There were only three girls who looked somewhat similar sitting in the waterside pavilion.

Before coming here, Mrs. Zhao had already introduced the benefactor's mansion to the two of them in detail. There are currently three girls waiting for her to be married in the mansion: the eldest daughter Jiang Yixi is thirteen years old, and the other two concubines Jiang Yiyun and Jiang Yiyou are respectively. The three sisters are eleven and ten years old, one is elegant, one is bright, and the other is cute, and each has its own merits.

As soon as they saw Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng arriving, the three Miss Jiang immediately stood up and came to greet them, naturally led by Jiang Yixi.

Looking at Miss Jiang... Nangong Yue felt a little sad. As the eldest daughter of the Duke of Enguo, who wouldn’t envy Miss Jiang? But who knew that in her previous life, Miss Jiang was later raped by the emperor? Zhihe kissed Beidi. At that time, how many people sympathized with her and how many people gloated about her misfortune, but they didn't expect that this Miss Jiang would eventually become a country in Beidi, with one person below ten thousand people! Although Duke Enguo's mansion fell, she was the only one who remained standing and had a sky of her own...

"Are you the two girls from Nangong Mansion?" Jiang Yixi saluted appropriately and introduced himself, "My name is Jiang Yixi, and these are my second sister Jiang Yiyun and my third sister Jiang Yiyou."

Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng also introduced themselves hurriedly, and then presented them with the gifts they had prepared.

The gift given to Jiang Yixi is a small round embroidered pouch, which is the favorite style of ladies in the boudoir nowadays. It is not only compact in style, easy to wear and beautiful, but also has a unique feminine charm. feel. Nangong Cheng heard that the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Enguo loved peonies, so she specially embroidered a delicate red peony on the small embroidery bag and outlined it with gold thread. It looked even more delicate and beautiful. It was obviously a flower. Thoughtful.

Giving Jiang Yiyun and Jiang Yiyou a pair of handmade bead flowers respectively. The beads are made of glazed beads. I specially asked a master to carve patterns and colors on each bead body. Every process is done extremely carefully, so The appearance looks extremely exquisite and compact.

The three girls from Duke Enguo's Mansion all liked it very much after seeing it, and even their originally polite smiles became more natural.

Jiang Yixi smiled with surprise on her face: "You two girls from Nangong, your gifts are very unique. Thank you very much."

"As long as you like it."

After that, the five girls had one more topic to talk about, and the conversation became more lively.

After that, girls from other houses also arrived one after another. Each girl was obviously dressed up carefully. They were all dressed in red and green, with exquisite makeup and luxurious accessories. In an instant, the whole garden was full of laughter.

Seeing that Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue had arrived early, a girl in yellow shirt smiled and said: "The two girls from Nangong Mansion came so early, it seems that we are late." The girl's surname was Zhang. , is a girl from the General's Mansion in Huaihua, her maiden name is Yu Sheng.

Although the Enguo Palace did not invite many people to this flower party, all of them were the daughters of third-rank ministers and above. However, few third-rank ministers like the Nangong Mansion, who had no real power, could look up to them, so it was not a problem. Not afraid, he spoke a bit more casually.

Nangong Cheng was startled, she didn’t expect to be attacked right now, she recovered after being stunned, and said with a nonchalant smile: “No, it’s just that the Nangong Mansion and the Enguo Duke’s Mansion are relatively close. ”

The girl in yellow shirt Zhang Yuchen choked instantly. In the past, the Nangong family was one of the most shining families, so the location of the palace in the royal capital was excellent. All the royal nobles and famous families lived nearby. Nangong's mansion was only one street away from the Duke Enguo's mansion, and it was indeed better than most of them. Everyone was much closer, so it was understandable that Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue arrived earlier than them.

She had some displeasure on her face, and was about to attack again, when she saw a very respectable little maid walking quickly, facing Jiang Yixi, and reported: "Miss, Princess Mingyue is here! ”

One sentence is like a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. Princess Qu Jiayue of Mingyue Princess is the daughter of the emperor's cousin Pingyang Hou and Zhang Guifei's sister. She is not only noble in status, but also deeply loved by the emperor. Naturally, she is the most popular among the people in the royal capital. The noble lady is happy to associate with and fawn over.

And Nangong Cheng also felt a little complicated. He couldn't help but think of the meeting with Princess Mingyue at Bailong Temple not long ago... It was definitely not very pleasant. But her upbringing allowed her to hide all her uneasiness and anxiety and remain calm.

Soon, a girl as beautiful as a blooming peony walked towards the garden under the guidance of the maid. I saw her wearing a floor-length smoke plum blossom skirt, covered with dark flower embroidered gold silk butterfly gauze, three thousand green silk was rolled into a pair of servant girls, decorated with red emerald drop beads and hibiscus beads, wearing a red gold plate chira necklace around her neck, and her ears Ruby and pearl earrings, ruby ​​twisted wire bracelet on the wrist. Coupled with her bright face, the whole person looks luxurious and generous, with skin as white as jade, elegant and noble.

Nangong Cheng looked at the other person carefully. Although at first glance, the other person seemed completely different from the boy that day, but if you look closely, you will find that they are indeed the same person. Whether in men's or women's clothing, this princess is extremely eye-catching. Such a beauty, with such a distinguished family background, can indeed be called the most beautiful woman in the capital.
