This was the first time Ning Er had seen the royal family go out in person. She couldn't help but be amazed and thought to herself, "Is this the princess's imperial procession? What a grand ceremony."
Lin Ruozhen pulled her to the side of the road and said angrily, "What's this? I saw that the princess came down temporarily, and out of sympathy for the minister, she did not use the entire ceremonial guard."
But even so, the majesty of this royal princess was an eye-opener for Ning'er.
The eldest princess's carriage went all the way to the main banquet area before the palace servants who were accompanying her came forward and knelt to ask her to get off the carriage.
From the old lady and the wife of the Duke of Dingguo to several young wives of Shen Cunzhu, they all knelt on the ground to welcome the princess down from the carriage.
Princess Linping took the seat of honor and called out to Madam Ding first. She smiled and said, "Please get up quickly, old lady. I am sorry to have troubled you because of Linping's sudden excitement."
Madam Ding bowed and thanked him, "I never expected that Your Highness would come to my humble home. I hope that the Princess will forgive me for my negligence."
Princess Linping took a seat and accepted the greetings before she began to speak: "I woke up this morning and saw that the spring weather was beautiful. I also heard Ying'er and Rui'er mention that your mansion was holding a girls' banquet today, so I thought of coming together to join in the fun."
As she spoke, she called her two daughters forward and asked them to pay their respects to Madam Ding and Madam Ding, and then said, "Since it is the daughters' festival, let's not talk about the relationship between the emperor and the ministers today, and let the girls not be restrained. We should continue as we did before.
The Duke's wife quickly stood up and agreed, saying with a smile: "Your Highness is so kind, I am grateful. It is a great blessing for us children to be able to see the Princess."
Ning'er followed Lin Ruozhan and the others. Although she lowered her head and dared not look around, she still pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation above.
All they heard was a sweet female voice laughing as everyone was in a state of respect, "Mother, since you've arrived, no one dares to speak."
The princess said gently, "Look at this girl of mine. She has been spoiled by her father and has become lawless. She is about to reach the age of marriage, but she still has a childish temper."
She turned to Madam Ding and said, "I'll have to trouble you to give her more advice and teach her to be more chaste and quiet like a girl."
Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "I think Miss Lou is very nice and lively. Girls of her age are the most impatient to deal with us."
She raised her hand and beckoned Shen Cunzhu over, pointing at her and saying, "This is our eldest daughter-in-law, the younger sister of Marquis Xinyuan. Today's daughter banquet was her idea. Cunzhu, quickly pay your respects to the eldest princess."
Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Let Cunzhu take the two young ladies out to play, so that they can relax and unwind."
The princess nodded in agreement. She looked Shen Cunzhu up and down and said with a smile, "You are indeed a descendant of a general. The heroic spirit between your eyebrows and eyes is not something that a girl in the boudoir can have."
Shen Cunzhu bowed deeply: "Your Highness, thank you for your praise."
In fact, in terms of age, Lin Ping is only a few years older than Shen Cunzhu, but in front of the superiors and subordinates, even her mother-in-law is a junior, not to mention her.
The princess was very interested and asked a few more questions: "No need to be polite. I wonder if Lord Shen is doing well?"
Shen Cunzhu hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My brother is doing well. He received the imperial decree a few days ago and left the capital to carry out his mission."
Lin Ping nodded and said, "That's good. Marquis Shen is diligent in royal affairs, and His Majesty is grateful." Then he handed his two beloved daughters, Lou Ying and Lou Rui, to Shen Cunzhu to take away.
The princess said to Madam Ding, "Quickly invite all the old ladies from the mansions to take seats, so that they can chat and laugh together."
Madam Ding stood up and said, "Look, the girls are waiting to see His Highness. Would you like to see them?"
Lin Ping smiled and said, "This is also their filial piety. How can we not allow it? Just don't kneel down, just come up and see them. Let them go play later."
Not until then did Ning'er have the chance to look up, and saw a beautiful woman with heavy makeup sitting in the main seat. She had her hair done in a bun, and wore a golden phoenix crown with filigree and precious stones on her head. The sides of her temples were inlaid with red gems, and her pair of white jade earrings sparkled as she talked and laughed.
The majestic aura all over his body is so majestic that people dare not look directly at him.
Ning Er saw that the old lady had already sat at the top seat, and Madam Xiang was standing at the side. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She turned her head and asked Zhu Jijin, "We are just standing here, is it a hindrance?"
Zhu Jijin said, "It's okay. Everyone is scattered now, and there's no time to get together to pay respects. But everyone should take care of themselves."
As she spoke, she pointed diagonally to the right: "Huh? Sister Yao is over there, do you want to go over there?"
When Ning'er looked, she saw Shen Ruyao standing with several girls in gorgeous clothes. Two of them looked quite familiar, as if she had seen them at the Huachao Banquet before.
She quickly shook her head: "I'm fine here." Forget it, the joke in the mansion had only happened a few days ago, and she didn't want to go over and get into trouble.
Lin Ruozhen laughed when she saw it. She said with a smile: "But I can see it. Did Shen Ruyao offend you?"
After hearing what she said, Ning'er felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was staying in the Marquis's Mansion, and it was not nice to talk about Miss Shen with outsiders behind her back.
But Shen Ruyao's behavior really made her look down upon, so she could only whisper: "Good sister, don't laugh at me."
Seeing her pitiful and lovely appearance, Lin Ruozhen couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek, and said half-jokingly: "Poor little lady, sister loves you. If you are unhappy in the Marquis' Mansion, you can come to our house anytime."
Xing Yueman listened to half of the sentence and came closer: "Who made you unhappy?"
Lin Ruozhen covered his mouth and smirked, glancing to the side. Xing Yueman knew what was going on at once, and she curled her lips and said, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be her. That's not surprising at all."
It turned out that she and Shen Ruyao had an old grudge and had never gotten along well. She was free and easy by nature and disliked the man's arrogant and pretentious temperament the most.
Xing Yueyuan said with a smile: "Don't be angry if I tell you. If you weren't so close to Sister Lin, we wouldn't dare to joke with you if we knew you were the daughter of the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion."
Ning'er was a little surprised. She didn't expect Shen Ruyao to be able to cause trouble outside the mansion. Then she saw Lin Ruozhen smiling and shaking his head: "It's really strange. Lord Shen has a great reputation in his life, but how could he raise such a daughter?"
Ning'er secretly agreed in her heart. It is said that a daughter resembles her father, but Shen Ruyao's personality is not at all like the Marquis. It is really strange.
Seeing two female officials in colorful corsets coming over and leading several people in front of them up, the girls fell silent for a moment and stood quietly where they were.
Ning Er was a little nervous, but for some reason she started to think about Chu Huan. He was the son of the King Rui, and he was also a descendant of the royal family. If she thought about it carefully, should she still call the eldest princess "cousin"?
Chu Huan is so gentle, so his aunt must not be very fierce, right? Thinking of this, Ning Er actually relaxed.
When she stood in front of the eldest princess's seat and followed Lin Ruozhan and others in paying her respects, Ning'er only dared to stare at the gold-ground brocade cloud, phoenix and peony pattern on the hem of the eldest princess's skirt.
The eldest princess' voice was gentle but majestic. She spotted the tall and outstanding Lin Ruozhen at a glance and said with a smile, "You are getting better and better. You have the demeanor of your mother."
Then he looked at the twins and praised them, "Mrs. Xing is really good at raising children. She actually raised such a pair of beautiful sisters."
Her eyes fell on Ning'er, and she said, "You are a strange girl. Lift your head so I can take a look."
Ning'er had no choice but to raise her head so that she could see the eldest princess's appearance clearly. Looking at her deep eyebrows and eyes, Ning'er couldn't help but be surprised. She looked so familiar.
Just at this moment, a light "eh" was heard, and Princess Linping said with a smile: "Whose girl is this? She looks very familiar."
