Chapter 22 Princess Shouning

Author: Science and Technology Innovation Board

The lake pen in Princess Changping paused slightly, and the beautiful Liuye eyebrows did not frowned because of this incident: "It would be better if the prince consort doesn't go, so as not to be ridiculed by Sun Yifa Qian Dongjian and others. This Lantai Poetry Festival was held by the shrew of Shouning. With her narrow-mindedness, she would definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for the prince consort."

Hongqiao held a pair of old silver scissors and cut off the wicks of the white glaze high-foot lamp. The dizzy yellow lights became even brighter.

He cut two wicks in turn, Hongqiao put down the old silver scissors in his hand, opened his cherry lips several times, wanted to speak, but closed it depressedly.

I can't speak in my heart.

The son-in-law may not go, and the princess can only be present, otherwise it will be fearful of Princess Shouning and lose her reputation.

Princess Shouning will most likely make things difficult for the princess at the Lantai Poetry Club. The son-in-law will go to help and recite the poems bought for a thousand taels of silver to resolve the difficulties.

It’s a pity that my son-in-law is unwilling to participate in the so-called poetry meeting and cannot blame him. After all, he doesn’t know the twists and turns in it.

After a while, Princess Changping put down the pen in her hand, smoothed the cuffs of the red velvet, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and walked out with a dignified manner: "Let's go, let's go to see Princess Shouning's Lantai Poetry Festival."

Before nightfall, the lanterns of Jinshui River were already brightly lit, and various cruise ships were hung with red lanterns to welcome the arrival of officials, gentry and young masters.

In normal times, the Qing Gongren would not light the lights in the blue sky and the sun, which was too extravagant.

I hung red lanterns early today, all of which were sent by Princess Shouning to send candles, or expensive yellow wax made of beeswax, not ordinary oil wax.

The Qing Gongren sighed that he was the eldest princess, and many people were thinking of secretly replacing yellow wax with oily wax.

Unfortunately, the eunuch of the Central Envoy next to Princess Shouning took out the yellow wax from the thin lacquer box, stared at the Qing Gongren and lit the candle before leaving.

Princess Shouning sat on a large red camphor wood boat, stood in front of the window frame, and looked at the deck. Many officials, gentry and young men gathered, each of whom was self-disciplined, preparing to take the lead in this Lantai Poetry Conference and leave a good impression on Princess Shouning.

He strived to win the favor of Princess Shouning and married the eldest princess.

As time went by, Princess Changping took the Hongqiao to the large red camphor wood ship, with eunuchs standing around, carrying red silk barriers, and isolated the sight of the officials, gentry and young masters looking over.

Only a shadow of the red rosy is visible, and the true appearance cannot be seen clearly.

Sun Yifa, Qian Dongjian and other officials and gentlemen watched Hong Ling walk in a trance, looking dazed and full of longing.

Princess Changping's status is not as good as Princess Shouning. Her reputation for being beautiful in the country has long been spread throughout the capital. She is even slightly better in terms of appearance than Princess Zheng, who is privately called Daji by officials and gentry.

Li Mian, Duke Jie Yuan of the Provincial Examination of the People's Court, married Princess Changping, Sun Yifa, Qian Dongjian and other juren in the Provincial Examination of the People's Court. They all believed that Li Mian had snatched the fame that should have belonged to him and also snatched his own golden marriage.

After all, Li Mian was only at the end of the provincial examination in Beizhili.

If it weren't for Emperor Jiazhen's personal choice, how could he become Duke Jie Yuan, let alone marry Princess Changping.

Sun Yifa, Qian Dongjian and other officials and gentry were inevitably united in hatred of the enemy. They had a deep opinion of Li Mian who had a great fortune, and they were also contemptuous and jealous.

Princess Shouning mostly looked down on Li Mian, who was mediocre in her knowledge, and believed that the marriage between Princess Changping and Li Mian belittled the princess' identity.

She was also implicated, made up her mind to provoke the two of them to divorce.

When Princess Changping walked into the flower hall of the big red camphor wood ship, she only brought her personal female official Hongqiao beside her. Oh, now she should be called a personal maid, and the eunuch from the Central Envoy.

Princess Shouning was a little disappointed and didn't see Li Mian. It seemed that he had retreated. He knew that he was just humiliating himself when he came. He hid in the mansion and did not dare to come out.

While Princess Shouning was disappointed, she was also a little happy. The relationship between the two was not harmonious, and there might be a chance to provoke Princess Changping Li Mian and Li.

There were two tiger-footed brocade couches and embroidery studs in the flower hall, and the officials and gentry ladies were already sitting on the embroidery studs.

When the officials saw Princess Changping coming in, they all stood up and made a blessing.

Princess Shouning met her older sister, without any thought of ceremonies. She still stood beside the window frame and stared at the officials, gentry and the young men.

When Princess Changping sat on the tiger-footed brocade bed, the Lantai Poetry Conference officially began, and the officials, gentry and princes below shook their heads and recited poems.

Princess Shouning sat on the tiger-footed Jinrong couch and ordered people to open the curtain that was blocking in front of them. The situation of the officials, gentry and the prince was fully displayed in front of them.

Romance, talented man and beautiful woman.

The Lantai Poetry Festival was a waste of money, but it became a rare event in the capital, second only to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Princess Shouning smiled and pointed to a talented man who was reciting poems and said, "He is Qian Dongjian, who has become famous recently in the capital. He is one of the three talented men in Jiangzuo. He is respected as Mr. Yushan at a young age. Because his ancestral home is in Northern Zhili, he came from Jiangnan to Northern Zhili to participate in the imperial examination. He almost made a small and medium-sized three-yuan candidate. He is a good candidate for the prince consort."

Qian Dongjian won the county test case in a row, and the government test case in a row, and Jie Yuan of the provincial test should have belonged to him, but unfortunately, he was not lucky enough to meet the candidate and lost the opportunity to be even three yuan in small and medium-sized yuan.

When Princess Shouning said these words, she seemed to be looking straight, but her eyes were always paying attention to Princess Changping's expression.

Seeing her calm face and no reaction, she was still as sad or happy as usual.

It’s like a clay-sculpted Bodhisattva in the temple, very boring.

Princess Shouning couldn't help but get angry and spent several boxes of money just to see Princess Changping's jealous expression and dissatisfaction with her son-in-law Li Mian, but she failed to see it.

The money will be spent in vain.

Princess Shouning deliberately laughed and showed a charming demeanor: "The father said that I will let the palace choose the prince consort and will not randomly assign a mediocre person to be the prince consort."

To others, she was charming, and Hongqiao cursed in her heart that she was a slut who steals a man like her adoptive mother.

This sentence touched the biggest pain in Princess Changping's heart. She frowned slightly and still didn't say anything. She sat dignifiedly on the tiger-footed brocade bed.

Without saying a word, it seemed that there was no impact.

Princess Shouning noticed her frowning and knew that she had heard her pain point. She continued to say: "The official and gentleman is called Sun Yifa. She is also very talented. I heard that he has some connection with Sun Gong and is also a good candidate for the prince consort. There are too many official and gentleman princes, and I am so dazzled. My sister might as well help one or two."
