Chapter 251 Not as good as Xue Mei
Chapter 251 Not as good as Xue Mei
During Xue Mei's housewarming banquet, Princess Yanping Qi Siran actually gave face.
The one who came with her was His Highness Rong.
At this moment, the scorching sun hangs westward, the setting sun melts gold, sprinkling golden light on the earth.
Qi Siran was wearing rose purple summer cloth, standing in the last ray of sunset. The fabric was reflected in the magnificent color by the rays of sunset. Her body was shrouded in glory and was particularly dazzling.
King Rong wore a dark gray dress, with white skin and a calm temperament, and did not look like a sixteen-year-old prince at all.
"Congratulations, Chengyang." Qi Siran smiled and stepped forward to greet Xue Mei.
Xue Mei returned the gift: "The princess and the prince come to support each other, and the humble house will shine brightly."
Qi Siran smiled and said, "This house was the princess's mansion in the past, and it was not cold at all."
She is a joke.
No matter what scheming was hidden behind her, Xue Mei pretended not to hear it.
Xiao Jingcheng asked for the house for Xue Mei. No one knows about this, but the people from the Qi family must know about it.
Qi Siran sent someone to plot against Yongning Hou, hoping to make Xue Mei worry about internal and external troubles. From that moment on, she declared war on Xue Mei.
"Princess Yanping was joking. I mainly think it is colder to me." Xue Mei said.
King Rong looked at her in surprise.
Xue Mei said again: "I'm joking, the princess and the prince are invited in quickly."
Qi Siran nodded and smiled, and walked in with King Rong.
King Rong didn't understand the tension just now, but he also knew that Qi Siran deliberately provoked Xue Mei; and Xue Mei was definitely not a good-for-nothing lamp, so she immediately fought back.
Are these women so aggressive?
Guests came one after another.
When the first group of guests arrived, it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and now it is almost seven o'clock.
After the scorching sun sets in the west, the night has not opened immediately, and there is still a long time of light.
The two large lanterns at the door of Princess Chengyang’s mansion have cast a soft light.
When Xiao Jingcheng came, the sky was still a little clear.
When the guests saw him, they all came over to salute, and at the same time whispered to each other: "Is King Rui really here?"
"Magic, this Chengyang County Lord is not a pretty beauty. How could she attract King Rui?"
"Isn't the Lord of Chengyang still beautiful? Her mole on her eyebrows is very beautiful. She looks itchy in her heart. King Rui may like her like this."
"Indeed, no one in Kyoto looks like her. It's unusual and naturally it's more popular."
Everyone talked about it again that King Rui was always in Beijing and no one's family attended the banquet.
The access control of Prince Rui’s Mansion is very strict, and most people cannot enter, and there is no place to send invitations.
Prince Rui himself had no interest in the banquet. Two years ago, he was in Beijing, and the empress dowager was nagging to attend the spring banquet of the empress, and then he showed up and ran away.
Everyone thought that they could see him at the banquet, and many noble girls dressed up carefully, but they were all gone.
Unexpectedly, he actually came to Xue Mei's housewarming banquet.
When he came in, Xue Mei sat with him slightly and said, "I have to go to entertain guests."
"Isn't you brother?" Xiao Jingcheng said, "They can treat you to guests."
You will accompany me specifically.
"Most of the guests I hosted today are female guests." Xue Mei smiled.
In other words, there may be no male guests except you, so Xue Chi and Xue Run can't help.
Xiao Jingcheng: “…”
"But it doesn't matter, several male guests have arrived." Xue Mei smiled, "mostly they are young people."
Princess Chengyang's housewarming banquet was sent to various families, but she did not say solely to invite a lady or a wife.
Because Xue Mei was young, she had neither a husband nor a father in the founding house, and older men or women who became relatives took the initiative to avoid it.
And in her house, her brother was in charge.
A young woman, her elder brother and younger brother moved here to live with her. This is the friendship between their brothers and sisters.
Because of Xue Chi, some young masters and ladies came together.
However, most of the invited girls were girls who were not married, about the same age as Xue Mei.
Xiao Jingcheng came over, unexpectedly, because Xue Mei did not invite him.
It’s not that he is not at ease, but that he is afraid that others will be restrained.
When King Rui sat there, who dared to joke?
Xue Mei has seen this period of time that many young people are afraid of Xiao Jingcheng, and are led by the royal princess and princes.
The princess and the prince were both afraid, and the other noble girls and noble sons naturally did not dare to be arrogant. Everyone could not avoid Xiao Jingcheng.
He is obviously only twenty-five years old, and he can be said to be young and handsome, and he is considered a person of his age.
Xue Mei was thinking, the maid Hongluan quickly stepped in: "Miss, the little prince is here."
The "little prince" they mentioned is naturally Xiao Mingyu.
Xue Mei did not invite him either.
She nodded to Xiao Jingcheng: "You sit down first. When Mingyu comes later, you can use him to make fun of him."
It seemed like she had found a toy for Xiao Jingcheng.
Xiao Jingcheng: “…”
Only Xue Mei loves to tease the little prince, Xiao Jingcheng does not have this hobby. He is serious and boring, and will not take the initiative to talk to others.
Xue Mei quickly welcomed her out. At this time, Xiao Mingyu had already entered the yard accompanied by Xue Chi.
"The master is hiding away from leisure, are you right?" Xiao Mingyu said to Xue Mei when he met, "Who is so noble that he tripped your feet as soon as he came?"
"It's King Rui." Xue Mei said.
Xiao Mingyu: “…”
The little prince almost got angry.
"Prince, please come here." Xue Mei smiled again.
Xiao Mingyu stopped and said, "Don't place me next to Uncle Rui Wang. I am my nephew, so I dare not be on an equal footing with him."
Xue Mei: "Okay, please come here."
Xue Mei’s hospitality yard is very large, with a small waterside pavilion in the middle, which divides the banquet into two sides, and connects bamboo bridges in the middle, which is quite fun.
Everyone had lit mosquito coils on the ground at their feet, and the mosquitoes dared not approach them, and the waterfront was cooler.
Mosquito coils are sold well this summer, but they are still not a daily thing like food such as food, rice, oil and salt, and the price is still a bit expensive.
It is naturally shocking to be able to be more large-scale.
"Is Princess Chengyang so rich?"
"Don't you know yet? This mosquito coil is Princess Chengyang's secret recipe."
"No wonder."
"Why can she know everything?"
"No wonder King Rui is willing to support her and come to her banquet. Most people can't compare to her."
When the noble girls around Qi Siran were talking so much, these words were like poisonous snakes, entering her heart and eating her mouth.
Xue Mei is very awesome.
Her mosquito coils, abacus, and oil-paper umbrellas are well-known in Kyoto and have been praised by everyone.
Especially the mosquito coils, the Qi family praised them for their usefulness, saying that Xue Mei had some thoughts.
"She is a miraculous doctor, so she naturally understands various formulas." Qi Siran's ears echoed her aunt's words, "Siran, you have also made medicine all day long, why can't you get a formula like mosquito coil, a practical good thing?"
Qi Siran clenched his fingers.
This is really too vicious.
The aunt stepped on her and Xue Meibi, and did it on purpose.
What else can Qi Siran compare with Xue Mei in addition to the Qi family he relies on?
However, today Qi Siran is preparing to give Xue Mei a big gift.
She thought Xue Mei would definitely be very satisfied.
Thinking of this, Qi Siran looked at King Rong who was sitting next to him and felt a little relieved.
