Marriage of the Di Daughter

The women of the Jiang family were no strangers to the ladies and wives in the palace. As the leading official family in Yanjing City, the Jiang family will never forget to invite Mrs. Jiang's family whenever they entertain guests. Besides Yang, Ji Shuran and Lu often want to see these wives. There was no daughter in the second room, and Jiang Youyao was the only one in the big room in the eight years since Jiang Li left. Many people forgot that there was Jiang Li. They saw Jiang Youyao many times, but very few times they saw Jiang Li.

And what impressed me the most was Jiang Li's demeanor in two consecutive inspections, a piano music, and a racecourse inspection.

If you don't sing, you're done. It's a blockbuster, which is the impression of Jiang Li from outsiders. But those who didn't watch the verification were noncommittal, thinking that it was just a false rumor, and Jiang Li was not as good as the rumors said. Therefore, the palace banquet became an opportunity to confirm the rumors.

Everyone stared behind Ji Shuran.

Behind the old lady, Ji Shuran and Lu Shi are in front, Yang Shi is behind, girls, Jiang Youyao is at the front.

Jiang Youyao was smiling, very sweet and delicate, her clothes and demeanor made her look like a lady who lived a good life and didn't eat the sufferings of the world. In addition, Ji Shuran also worked hard to make Jiang Youyao look dignified and stable. You must know that when a man looks at a woman, he sees beauty, wisdom, and the woman herself. But when a rich family chooses a wife, in addition, it also depends on the temperament of the wife , Ability, can manage the peace of a back house.

Especially Zhou Yanbang's vain attempt to regret the marriage a few days ago made Ji Shuran very angry. If Mrs. Ningyuanhou hadn't come to make amends in person, and Jiang Youyao really fell in love with Zhou Yanbang, Ji Shuran would not have made the Zhou family so easy.

The more outstanding Jiang Youyao is, the more it shows that in this marriage, Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang are by no means a feat, but more than enough.

Jiang Youyao is like a flower bone flower in full bloom, she enters the door gracefully and gracefully, her appearance is extremely beautiful, which makes Yuming Palace even more beautiful. Some ordinary-looking ladies looked at Jiang Youyao and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Raised in an enviable official family, with incomparable appearance, loved by family members, innocent and innocent, smooth marriage, handsome and gentle husband, well-matched family, isn't this everyone's envy? Even though most of the young ladies present are from wealthy families, every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures. For the young ladies of wealthy families, some lives are not as beautiful as they appear on the surface, and they suffer in their hearts.

Jiang Youyao had a panoramic view of everyone's envy, she couldn't help but feel proud, and her steps became much lighter.

Walking behind Jiang Youyao is Jiang Li.

In fact, in terms of ranking in the family, Jiang Li should be ahead of Jiang Youyao. But no one told Jiang Li, Jiang Youyao walked ahead on her own. Jiang Li didn't care about this either. In her opinion, it didn't matter who came first.

Everyone watched helplessly as a girl like water came out from behind the flower-like Jiang Youyao.

Compared with Jiang Youyao's fine attire, she really looks too bland, too bland. But in the light, her distinct facial features are like the thick ink and color in landscape paintings, giving people infinite charm.

Miss Jiang's steps were slow and unhurried, and compared to Jiang Youyao's briskness, she seemed more gentle and stable. If Jiang Youyao is the romantic official lady in Yanjing City, this girl is more like a delicate and intelligent little fairy in the mountains. The former is suitable for the beauty of flowers and flowers, while the latter is suitable for the indifference that does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Someone saw with sharp eyes that Jiangli's slender wrist did not have any jade bracelets, but a string of black Buddhist beads. The soft beads made her wrists as bright as jade.

Some people remembered that Jiang Li had stayed in the nunnery on the mountain for eight years. Although the nunnery is now known to be a place of filth, it didn't seem to affect Jiang Li's spirituality and Buddha nature in it.

She is very "spiritual".

The girl also had a smile at the corner of her mouth. Unlike Jiang Youyao's smile, Jiang Li's smile was more like a knowing smile from the bottom of her heart. It was very peaceful and comfortable, as if she had no worries.

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, who was talking to Ji Chen, frowned.

Ever since Zhou Yanbang mentioned that he wanted to dissolve his marriage with Jiang Youyao, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou had a heart attack. Although she and Ye Zhenzhen were on good terms back then, Ye Zhenzhen had died many years ago. As Ye Zhenzhen's daughter, Jiang Li was no more favored than Ji Shuran's own daughter. After joining, Jiang Li caused Ji Shuran to have a miscarriage, and her reputation was notorious, so Ye Zhenzhen gave up the idea of ​​marrying Jiang's family.

Even though the Jiang family had a big family business, no one dared to take such a cruel and discredited young lady.

Unexpectedly, Ji Shuran took the initiative to come to her.

Ji Shuran seemed to understand what she was thinking very well, and only said that she was also very reluctant to part with this marriage, and even more reluctant to part with an in-law like Ning Yuanhou. After thinking about it, although Jiang Li was not good, the Jiang family was not just Jiang Li. Daughter.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was overjoyed. In her opinion, there was no better in-law in Yanjing than the Jiang family, and Jiang Youyao was not bad compared to Jiang Li. Firstly, she is also Jiang Yuanbai's prostitute, and secondly, Jiang Youyao is satisfactory in terms of appearance, talent and temperament. Later, Zhou Yanbang also came to see him, and he had no objection to the marriage. Mrs. Ning Yuanhou thought that this matter was settled like this.

Who knew that shortly after Jiang Li returned to Beijing, Zhou Yanbang suddenly came up with such a ridiculous idea.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was taken aback. Zhou Yanbang wanted to regret the marriage and somehow Ji Shuran knew about it. Fearing that Ji Shuran would blame her, Mrs. Ningyuanhou had no choice but to come to the house to make amends, and asked Ji Chen to come and talk. Zhou Yanbang didn't bring up this bastard idea anyhow, but Mrs. Ningyuanhou, who understood his son's nature, knew that Zhou Yanbang didn't stop thinking about it.

Furious and angry, Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was afraid that Zhou Yanbang would cause some trouble again, so she planned to see what Jiang Li looked like in person at the palace banquet today. Mrs. Ningyuan Hou didn't go to the two exams, so she didn't know how Jiang Li got the limelight. Even though she heard a lot of compliments from the people around Jiang Li on the exam, Mrs. Ningyuanhou also sneered.

Now, she finally saw what the girl who fascinated her son really looked like.

In all fairness, Jiang Li's eyebrows and eyes are like Jiang Yuanbai, delicate and clear, but her outline is like Ye Zhenzhen, with a kind of innocent honesty. However, her eyes and her smile are neither as relaxed and relaxed as Jiang Yuanbai, nor as pure and lively as Ye Zhenzhen.

That kind of tenderness made people defenseless, but it also made people feel that she seemed to know everything.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's heart sank. It's not surprising that Jiang Li's appearance can win Zhou Yanbang's heart.

But she can't let this happen. If Zhou Yanbang doesn't give up, Jiang Li will become an obstacle between Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao sooner or later.

Mrs. Ningyuanhou only felt a headache.

Everyone didn't know what Madam Ningyuan Hou was thinking, and they only looked at the girls of the Jiang family. Jiang Youyao was delicate and charming, Jiang Li was so clear and spiritual, Jiang Yu'e looked too vulgar after that, Jiang Yuyan was mediocre and did not attract people's attention.

Therefore, the two daughters of the Jiang family's eldest family have their own merits, at least in terms of appearance, which has become a fact that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As soon as the female members of the Jiang family arrived, due to their status, many people came to greet her warmly. Ji Shuran naturally wanted to sit with Ji Chenshi. Mrs. Lu was also sitting with his acquainted wife. Mrs. Yang had no friends and no one to compliment her, so she had to sit next to Mrs. Jiang, with Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Yuyan, looking a bit neglected.

Jiang Li went to find Liu Xu by herself.

She is such a close friend, and Liu Xu has been bored for a long time. He was overjoyed to see her coming, and when Jiang Li and Mrs. Liu met, he pulled Jiang Li aside and said, "I heard that Zhou Yan Is Bang and Jiang Youyao's marriage settled?"

Jiang Li was surprised for a moment, she didn't expect it to spread so quickly, she nodded with a smile.

"It's okay." Liu Xu held back for a long time without any words of comfort, and finally patted her hand: "There are countless men in Beijing who are better than Zhou Yanbang, and the man you find in the future must be ten thousand times better than Zhou Yanbang. Really If you follow Zhou Yanbang, you are still at a loss."

Jiang Li almost laughed, sensitively aware that a gaze was looking at her, she couldn't help but be taken aback when she raised her eyes, it was her former sister-in-law, Shen Ruyun, who was staring at her.

Shen Ruyun's eyes were as harsh as ever, with some critical eyes, which made Jiang Li a little dazed. It was as if following Shen Yurong to the Shen's house in Yanjing for the first time. At that time, Shen Ruyun was sitting in the room, and he also looked at her with such eyes. At that time, Jiang Li didn't understand, but now Jiang Li understands, that kind of gaze is thinking about what situation she can use and how much benefit she can bring to the Shen family.

In fact, Shen Ruyun and Xue Fangfei were not at odds from the beginning. Jiang Li remembered that when Shen Yurong was not yet the number one scholar to become an official, even though Shen Ruyun had many faults, she always put on a face and called her "sister-in-law" affectionately.

But ever since Shen Yurong became the number one scholar, Shen Ruyun no longer took herself seriously.

Seeing Jiang Li staring at Shen Ruyun, Liu Xu was puzzled: "What's wrong with her? When you were not here before, it was Shen Ruyun who mentioned that Jiang Youyao robbed your marriage to be with Zhou Yanbang. It wasn't intentional. Are you a raft? Have you offended her?"

"I didn't offend her." Jiang Li shook her head. He knew in his heart that the reason why Shen Ruyun picked this matter up was naturally because of Zhou Yanbang. Others don't know, but her sister-in-law knows that Shen Ruyun has admired Zhou Yanbang for many years, and now she finally has the confidence to talk about marriage with Zhou Yanbang, but Jiang Youyao took the lead, how could she not be annoyed?

Maybe he even hated himself. If Miss Jiang Er and Zhou Yanbang were not engaged in the first place, how could Miss Jiang Third occupy the magpie's nest, but Zhou Yanbang was settled early.

Jiang Li thought to herself, she wondered what Shen Ruyun's expression was after she knew that her sister-in-law was blocking her marriage. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel funny.

Jiang Li's smile fell on Shen Ruyun's eyes, and it was even more dazzling. And Shen Ruyun always felt that Jiang Li's demeanor and demeanor were always very familiar. However, Shen Ruyun was convinced that this was the first time he saw Jiang Li, and this familiar feeling made Shen Ruyun not very happy. She snorted through her nose, turned her head, and stopped looking at Jiang Li.

After talking and joking for a while, there was a palace lady outside to report, and the queen mother came later.

All the ladies stood up together to welcome the Queen Mother.

The current Empress Dowager is not the biological mother of Emperor Hong Xiao, but she has a benevolent nature, she always pays homage to the Buddha and does meritorious deeds, and she doesn't care about worldly affairs. Because of this, there was a dispute between Concubine Xia and Concubine Liu Shu in the harem. At that time, it was rumored that the empress had no children and her successor would not be guaranteed, but Concubine Xia was in poor health and left early. Emperor Hong Xiao was brought up under the empress dowager's knee, and the former emperor intended to support Emperor Hong Xiao as the crown prince, so Concubine Liu Shu restrained herself a little.

Later, when the first emperor passed away, the empress became the empress dowager, Concubine Liu Shu became Concubine Liu, and her son and daughter are now King Cheng and Princess Yongning. King Cheng was older than Emperor Hong Xiao, and the forces supporting King Cheng were ready to move, and Emperor Hong Xiao's throne was not secure.

This is also the reason why people in the court pay three respects to King Cheng nowadays.

Emperor Hong Xiao had no support from his relatives, but only himself, but not many people supported him. One day, the throne will be handed over to someone else. King Cheng seems to have much more than Emperor Hong Xiao.

The Empress Dowager wore a purple gold satin palace gown with a cloud crown. Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager has also reached the year of destiny, but probably because of proper maintenance, standing beside the Empress, she is not much older than the Empress, and one can see that she was charming when she was young. There was a smile on her lips, but she was very kind.

Following behind the Queen Mother was Prince Cheng's mother concubine Liu Taifei. Standing together with the Queen Mother, Liu Taifei looked much older than the Queen Mother. However, even so, it did not affect Concubine Liu's disposition at all. She was dressed brightly, and the pride in her eyebrows and eyes was exactly the same as that of her daughter, Princess Yongning.

The moment she saw Princess Yongning, Jiang Li's blood went cold for a moment.

Princess Yongning is wearing a gold-embellished gauze skirt, which is full of brilliance, and the thin one is the painstaking efforts of countless weaver girls. She also has a delicate face like a flower, compared to Jiang Youyao's delicate and charming girl, she is a little more charming. Standing in the hall, it is the posture that the proud girl of heaven should have, and there is no need to put anyone in the eyes of her.

Hearing that Concubine Liu is arrogant, the Empress Dowager doesn't care about her. In the entire harem, it is almost Concubine Liu who has the final say. Emperor Hong Xiao is still weak, let alone the queen. Therefore, almost no one dared to refute what Princess Yongning said.

Seeing that everyone got up, the Queen Mother smiled and said that there is no need to be formal, and let everyone sit down. Waiting for the uterus banquet to begin.

Seeing Princess Yongning looking around, as if she was looking for someone, Jiang Li sneered in her heart. Princess Yongning was undoubtedly looking for Shen Yurong.

On the contrary, he has a sincere admiration for Shen Yurong.

The female relatives came early, and the palace banquet was held in the Yuming Palace. Outside the Yuming Palace was a long flower pond pavilion. After the night banquet, you can enjoy the moon and flowers, which is very elegant.

After a while, the male relatives also arrived one after another.

Men and women have different seats, but after all they are in the same hall. Beiyan is no different from the previous dynasty. If it is in public, women don't have to shy away from strangers. But in the end it was a little shy, so some thin-skinned girls turned their backs to save themselves from being shy.

Jiang Yuanbai walked over with the two brothers Jiang Yuanping. Jiang Yuanxing looked a little embarrassed because he was not very close to the two brothers.

Jiang Li saw Ye Shijie, and Ye Shijie was a blockbuster, destined to become an official soon. Some young noble children made friends with him, and there were quite a few people walking beside him. Ye Shijie seemed to get along well with them.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

If Second Miss Jiang had a tough grandparent's family, it would be good for her future.

Ye Shijie was proud of the spring breeze, and behind him was the second place in the Guozijian school examination, which was supposed to be the first, and Ye Shijie took the lead, the eldest master of the right minister's mansion, Li Jing.

Li Jingsheng's appearance is mediocre. Compared with his younger brother Li Lian, he really doesn't please girls. But God is also fair, Li Jing is not handsome enough, but he has a lot of talent, Li Jing is handsome and charming, but he is an ignorant dude.

The two brothers Li Jing and Li Lian came in with Li Zhongnan, Prime Minister of the Right, and many daring girls followed and scrutinized the two brothers.

After all, the Right Prime Minister is becoming more and more powerful now, and he can almost stand against the Jiang family. If it is said that the Jiang family was the head of civil servants in the past, the position of the head of Jiang family's civil servants is also in jeopardy because of the growth of the right minister. The two brothers Li Jing and Li Lian naturally became popular.

Jiang Li's eyes only stayed on the two brothers of the Li family for a moment and then slipped away. For her, she didn't intend to have any contact with the Li family. Those who should remind Ye Shijie have already reminded Ye Shijie, and it seems that Ye Shijie has done a good job. He has no communication with Li Jing and Li Lian, so he obviously listened to his reminder.

No matter what the Li family's idea is, if Ye Shijie doesn't respond, it's still a bit safe.

On the Guozijian red list, Ye Shijie is the leader, Li Jing is the second, and Zhou Yanbang, the son of the Marquis of Ningyuan, is the third.

Jiang Li soon saw Zhou Yanbang.

It wasn't that she wanted to pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, but that Zhou Yanbang looked at her with undisguised and enthusiastic eyes. If it weren't for the large number of people, I'm afraid they would all be spotted. Jiang Li was a little annoyed, Zhou Yanbang was so disgusting and uncomfortable.

Others didn't pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, because although Zhou Yanbang was a young talent, he was already engaged. But Ningyuan Hou Shizi and Ji Shuran's mother and daughter have been paying attention to Zhou Yanbang's every move since Zhou Yanbang entered the door.

Seeing that Zhou Yanbang went to search for Jiang Li immediately after entering the door, several people became anxious.

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou's mind went "buzz", and she immediately felt bad. Zhou Yanbang was so unafraid of being bumped into by others, and his performance was too obvious, it was inevitable that Jiang Youyao would be confused and Ji Shuran would not like it.

Ji Shuran's mother and daughter hated surprisingly. On the one hand, they hated Zhou Yanbang for being weak-hearted and easy to be led away by others. On the other hand, they hated Jiang Li, the instigator. If Jiang Li didn't seduce him, how could Zhou Yanbang be so obsessed!

Jiang Li got up decisively, changed her position, and covered Zhou Yanbang's eyes. She really didn't want to have any ambiguity with Zhou Yanbang. After the Mingyi Hall examination, her reputation had just improved, and she didn't want to be wiped out again because of Zhou Yanbang.

Zhou Yanbang was a little disappointed that he couldn't see Jiang Li, but he recovered in an instant, and he still looked like a handsome young man, chatting and laughing with others.

Jiang Li passed through many crowds and finally saw Shen Yurong.

Shen Yurong was wearing an official uniform today, and Jiang Li had never seen such a Shen Yurong. When she and Shen Yurong were husband and wife, Shen Yurong was a warm, gentle and tolerant person. Later, after Shen's mother's birthday banquet, she saw Shen Yurong very few times. At that time, she felt guilty, and Shen Yurong was just silent.

But Shen Yurong now is very different from that time.

Wearing the official uniform of a third-rank courtier, he became famous in one fell swoop from a white scholar, and the official robe was added, as if this official robe also added infinite brilliance to him. He still looks gentle and refined, but in his eyes, there is already sophistication and maturity.

Jiang Li watched him chatting with his colleagues. The colleagues were flattering, but he was superior. For a moment, Jiang Li felt that this Shen Yurong was very much like Princess Yongning.

The same thinks that he is the master of others, and the same does not look down on others.

Jiang Li staggered her eyes to look at Princess Yongning at the other end.

Princess Yongning did not hide her admiration for Shen Yurong, she almost followed Shen Yurong. It's just that it seems that Luo Hua's deliberate flow of water is not as affectionate as imagined, Shen Yurong didn't cast a look at Princess Yongning.

Jiang Li couldn't help sneering in her heart, it was natural, so of course she had to cover it up in full view. Princess Yongning has the status of a princess, but Shen Yurong is a cautious person, and will not let anyone catch him. He is used to doing it very carefully, just like deceiving her back then.

It's just that Xue Fangfei is already dead, and Princess Yongning has tried every means to make room for her as the original partner. Why, she still can't become Shen's wife? In Jiang Li's heart, there was a flash of happiness, but the happiness disappeared in a flash. To be honest, Jiang Li now really wants to see what will happen to Princess Yongning after marrying into the Shen family. I don't know if it is what they think. Everyone is happy, or two or two life resentment.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li saw members of Ji's family, including Ji Shuran's father, Ji Yanlin, and Liu Xu's father, Liu Yuanfeng. King Cheng came later, and when he arrived, he greeted the Queen Mother.

The last one came was Hong Xiaodi.

In two lifetimes, this is the second time for Jiang Li to see Emperor Hong Xiao. Emperor Hong Xiao is now twenty-seven, which is a very young age for an emperor. In the seven years since he took the throne, there has been no major turmoil in the Yan Dynasty. Even so, his throne is still precarious, not as stable as it seems.

Anyone in the imperial court knew that Cheng Wang was the greatest threat to Emperor Hong Xiao. Seven years ago, Emperor Hong Xiao rushed to the throne, and King Cheng was defeated. In seven years, can Emperor Hong Xiao catch up with the current King Cheng?

Nobody knows.

Beside Hong Xiaodi, stood a young woman. This girl was very beautiful, delicate, and charming, but her clothes were not gorgeous, and could even be called clean and simple. Smiling all the time, Liu Xu and Jiang Li bit their ears: "That's Concubine Li, Jiang Youyao's aunt."

Jiang Li suddenly realized that this was Ji Yanlin's eldest daughter, Ji Shuran's eldest sister, Concubine Li.

The last time she followed Shen Yurong into the palace, she didn't see Concubine Li, but she knew that there was such a person a long time ago. Some people say that Concubine Li is like the noble concubine Xia to the late emperor, she was the late emperor's favorite woman. However, the difference between Concubine Li and Concubine Xia is that Concubine Li has the Ji family behind her, while Concubine Xia has nothing behind her.

Jiang Li looked at Concubine Li, Concubine Li looked even younger than Ji Shuran, she didn't know how to take care of herself, she looked like a young girl. She is very gentle and kind, and doesn't point out anything. Compared with the aloof Princess Yongning, she is simply not more approachable. But Jiang Li also knew that if Concubine Li was as weak and uncontested as she appeared on the surface, she would not fight her way through the harem and become Emperor Hong Xiao's favorite concubine.

Those who have no ability have long been victims of the weak, how can they stand safely beside Hong Xiaodi, pretending to be humble with a victor's attitude, it's all a show.

Concubine Li said something to Emperor Hong Xiao, and Emperor Hong Xiao waved his hand, and Concubine Li came forward to greet Ji Chen and Ji Shuran.

Jiang Youyao went to see this aunt as a matter of course, and all the noble ladies around looked at Jiang Youyao enviously. An aunt like Li Concubine was even more beautiful than a queen's aunt. Although the queen gave birth to the crown prince, but the crown prince just turned five years old, if Concubine Li also gave birth to a little prince, according to Emperor Hong Xiao's love for Concubine Li, it is uncertain who will be the crown prince in the future.

After all, it is not uncommon for the previous dynasty to change the crown prince.

I don't know what Ji Shuran and Concubine Li said, Concubine Li also smiled and glanced at Jiang Li. There was no special emotion in that glance, but Jiang Li was inexplicably uncomfortable.

Liu Xu asked, "Aren't you going to see the ceremony?"

"They didn't ask me to go." Jiang Li said indifferently: "I won't go."

Liu Xu was dumbfounded, but after a while she seemed to understand, and said happily, "It's really your temper."

Jiang Li laughed, she was not like Jiang Yu'e, she needed to curry favor with Ji Shuran, and she was not like Jiang Youyao, who had a blood relationship with Concubine Li. She and Concubine Li are only aunts in name, maybe this is the first time that the former Second Miss Jiang sees Concubine Li.

After all, Concubine Li is Ji Shuran's older sister, so naturally she has to stand by Ji Shuran's side. He was destined to be an enemy with himself, and this hostile position would not change anything just because Jiang Li stepped forward to pay respects.

Don't do unnecessary things, especially if it is something you don't want to do. Xue Huaiyuan said this, and Jiang Li also remembered it in his heart.

Just as Emperor Hong Xiao was talking to the queen mother, the eunuch came to report, and another person came.

To be able to come later than the current majesty, this person is quite courageous. You must know that people like King Cheng still follow the etiquette. Jiang Li looked up and saw a person walking unhurriedly outside the corridor outside the palace gate.

The young man was wearing a scarlet gold-woven robe with winding corners. The brilliance drawn by the bright lights was more eye-catching than the gems inlaid on the pillars of the main hall.

With such complicated and gorgeous clothes, if the appearance is not enough, it will be suppressed by the clothes, and it will appear to be "clothes wear people", unless it is a peerless beauty, the facial features are exquisite and there is no flaw, and they must be glamorous, so they should be barely matched.

But the clothes worn on the young man, not only does not mean that they are barely matched, but also complement each other. Seeing him wearing this clothes, people can't help but sigh in their hearts. They have to admit that only he wears such clothes in the world. It's not called living up to the Chinese clothes.

The Chinese clothes are brighter than gems, and his beauty is more ostentatious than Chinese clothes.

It was Duke Su, Ji Heng.

The Duke of the Kingdom is here to commit crimes again~
