Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Although Ji Siyuan only told her some superficial information, Chen Xi was sensitive to some things behind it from these superficial information.

For example, Princess Changrong, whose father was relatively close to the emperor, and two generations back, was also a very qualified person to compete for the throne.

But now there is only one girl in this lineage, Princess Changrong. If Changrong remarries into the East Palace and becomes a member of the East Palace, then this lineage will be completely severed!

Who can tell whether the Empress really likes Princess Changrong or has something in mind?

In addition, Princess Changrong has always said that she likes Lin Changqing, but does she really like her?

The next day, Chen Xi got familiar with dressing up. She put on the gemstone rewarded by the emperor, an orange-red coat and skirt, and the ruby ​​bracelet that Lin Changqing had given her before, and went to the banquet gorgeously.

Ji Siyuan was waiting at the street corner. When Chen Xi arrived, Ji Siyuan came to find her.

When he saw Chen Xi's attire, Ji Siyuan's eyes flashed with surprise: "Huaishan County Master looks beautiful today!"

Chen Xi’s makeup today is elegant and cool, which is very impactful!

She smiled confidently: "If sister likes this makeup, I will teach her how to apply it later!"

Ji Siyuan was immediately delighted: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, it's just makeup. I also know a lot of makeup techniques. If my sister wants to learn, I'll teach her to her later!"

What woman doesn't love beauty? Ji Siyuan has been very sincere to her these days, so naturally Chen Xi wants to repay her.

Ji Siyuan smiled with squinted eyes, walked closer to Chen Xi and said, "Sister, you don't know, if any young lady in the capital has a novel and outstanding makeup, it is hidden

I hold it back, lest someone else imitates it and I am no longer the only one! "

Chen Xi thought about it and understood why the noble ladies in the capital behave like this. In this wealthy city, who doesn't want to go higher?

So they have to have a special skill to let people see their excellence?

After the two said this, they entered Princess Changrong's mansion.

As soon as she entered the princess's mansion, Chen Xi found that the princess's mansion was very different from her house.

First of all, the princess's mansion is very big, almost four times as big as Chen Xi's house!

"Why is the princess's palace so big?"

"It used to be Prince Rong's Mansion!"

No wonder!

Prince Rong was Princess Changrong's father. After his death, no one in the family would inherit the throne. There was only Princess Changrong, so this house became Princess Changrong's Mansion.

Otherwise, as Princess Changrong, she would never be able to live in such a big house.

Yesterday Ji Siyuan told Chen Xi that Princess Changrong had only herself since she was a child, so she held a banquet in the capital and invited girls of the same age in the capital to play with her. Therefore, everyone in Princess Changrong's mansion was familiar with Chen Xi, who was from outside the capital. Look fresh.

Chen Xi discovered that the architectural style of Princess Changrong's Mansion was more like that of the south of the Yangtze River, with flowers and plants everywhere, three steps, one pavilion, five steps and one corridor, and there were views every step of the way.

Princess Changrong invited everyone to enjoy plum blossoms today, so the banquet was arranged in the side yard, where there was a small plum blossom forest.

Chen Xi looked at the plum blossom forest. Although it was not big, there were many types of plum blossoms. It must have been that Princess Changrong specially collected various varieties of plum blossoms.

Chen Xi looked at the gift he had brought and thought that this gift would be of great interest to Princess Changrong!

There is a row of rooms in the side yard, and Princess Changrong set up the banquet here.

, the room was lit with charcoal fires, and it was very warm.

As soon as Chen Xi and Ji Siyuan arrived, a maid immediately announced loudly: "The Lord of Huaishan County and his wife, the Marquis of Dingbei, have arrived!"

Soon, Princess Changrong came over with a group of ladies and first greeted Ji Siyuan.

"Sister Siyuan is actually free today. If I had known that sister Siyuan was free, I would have asked someone to deliver a post to her. I thought that as the Chinese New Year is approaching, my sister would be busy with matters in the Hou Mansion!"

Ji Siyuan smiled and said: "Since I gave birth to Ya'er, I have not been in charge of the middle minister of the Marquis Mansion. Now I have to worry about the old lady taking charge of everything."

Princess Changrong smiled: "Then sister, please take good care of your health. If there is a banquet here in the future, I will send a message to my sister and I will come and play together."

"Okay, that's what I thought too, so when I heard that you sent a post to County Master Huaishan, I came with County Master Huaishan."

Only then did Princess Changrong look at Chen Xi, and Chen Xi also saluted in time: "Chen Xi pays homage to Princess Changrong."

Princess Changrong put away the smile on her face slightly and said calmly: "County Princess Huaishan, please get up. You are new here and don't know the rules. I usually don't have any princesses at my banquets. It's just the princess who is here." They are all worthy of us sisters, County Master Huaishan, don’t be formal today and have fun.”

Chen Xi nodded: "Thank you for the invitation from Princess Changrong. I came to the capital for the first time and I don't know the princess's preferences. But today the princess is holding a banquet with the theme of plum appreciation, so I will bring the plum trees brought from Hangzhou. To the princess."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Dong Baozhen and Wu Tong came forward with the plum blossom tree behind them. They saw a small plum blossom with purple petals planted in a pot one by one. It looked small and delicate.

, extremely beautiful!

Princess Changrong's eyes widened. She quickly walked to the potted plant and turned around twice to look at the potted plum blossoms.

"This is indeed a plum blossom, but this is the first time I have seen such purple petals. Where did you get them?"

Chen Xi smiled and said: "I have a farm in Changzhou. Someone has specially researched this kind of plum blossom tree. When it was brought to the capital, it was just a dead branch. Just yesterday, he suddenly said that he knew that I would come to attend the princess meeting today. We have to give it to the princess for the banquet, so hurry up and show yourself to the princess!"

When Chen Xi said this, many people around him couldn't help covering their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughing. Princess Changrong also had a smile on her face: "You are really good at talking. I like your gift very much. Someone, please move the plum blossoms down." Watch carefully."

Chen Xi could not help but feel relieved when he saw that Princess Changrong really loved plum blossoms.

Since I happily accepted her gift, I guess it won’t be difficult for her anymore!

Who knew that the next second, I heard Princess Changrong say: "What County Master Huaishan said just now really made me happy. Then I remembered that County Master Huaishan is a businessman, and businessmen are used to clever words. It seems that Even though the Lord of Huaishan County is now the Lord of the County, he is still a businessman at heart!"

With this sentence, all the ladies who had just covered their mouths and laughed secretly suddenly burst into laughter one by one.

Chen Xi's face turned cold instantly.

Ji Siyuan's face was not good-looking at the side. He frowned and whispered to County Lord Changrong: "Changrong, County Lord Huaishan really wants to make friends with you!"

Changrong looked Chen Xi up and down and said calmly: "Sister, what are you talking about? How many people came to my banquet today?"

Didn’t you sincerely make friends with me? If anyone says that they are not sincerely friends with me, it depends on whether I invite her or not in the future! However, the first condition for making friends with me is to recognize your identity clearly. For example, the Lord of Huaishan County, you must remember that you are the County Lord now, not a merchant girl. It will be very difficult when you interact with others in the future. Don't be like you when you were a merchant girl, you are really cheap! "

Chen Xi smiled at the Princess of Changrong County: "It turns out that my sincere friendship is beneath the dignity of the Princess. In this case, it proves that we two are not compatible, so say goodbye!"
