The sedans of the Liu family entered the Zhengding Hou Mansion and walked about a short distance before stopping in front of a pink/white screen wall. The people in the Hou Mansion had already sent sedans to wait here, and everyone got on

After getting off the sedan chair, we went directly to a door with hanging flowers. A grandmother from the Zhengding Marquis Mansion came up to us with someone.

After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone entered the hanging flower door and arrived at the inner room where the eldest princess lived.

The Liu family is an aristocratic family, and Old Mrs. Liu is an elderly and high-ranking lady. When she comes to the Zhengding Hou Mansion, she is also treated as an honored guest. When she enters the room where the eldest princess is entertaining guests, she sees that a lot of things have been done inside.

The eldest princess was talking to someone. She looked up and saw Old Mrs. Liu coming. She smiled and got up from the couch.

Everyone exchanged greetings and greetings, and the eldest princess's eyes fell on Liu Ruosi and these young girls.

"...It seems that I have never seen them before." The eldest princess said, not hiding her appraising gaze.

Mrs. Liu was busy introducing her to the eldest princess, and first she pulled Liu Ruosi to the eldest princess.

"... Our third girl is the daughter of my wife here. She is also fifteen years old this year. She was ill last time at Daxiangguo Temple and could not go to see the princess."

The eldest princess took Liu Ruosi's hand and looked carefully at Liu Ruosi from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She looked at Liu Ruosi's hand carefully and couldn't help but praise her.

"No wonder they say that the third girl of the Liu family looks like a fairy. I believe it after seeing her today... It's as if she stepped out of a painting. Only a delicate mother like the second wife can give birth to a child."

Such a good girl, coupled with the old lady's care, is really enviable..."

The eldest princess didn't seem to hide her purpose in choosing her daughter-in-law. Liu Ruosi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the eldest princess's naked gaze. However, she couldn't express anything at the moment and could only smile and lower her head.

After Mrs. Liu introduced Liu Ruoshan, she led Liu Ruoshan to the eldest princess.

"...My fourth girl is two months younger than her third sister. She just returned to Beijing with her parents not long ago... This is the second girl and the eldest sister whom the eldest princess met last time.

"

The eldest princess looked at Liu Ruoshan again. When she arrived at Liu Ruojuan's place, the eldest princess's expression became slightly strange, and she looked at Liu Ruojuan with a searching look. As for the eldest sister, the eldest princess just took a look at her.

Didn't pay any attention.

After greeting the eldest princess, I had to meet the female family members present again. After greetings, everyone sat down.

Old Mrs. Liu did not let Liu Ruosi follow Mrs. Liu Er, but pulled her to her side and sat next to the eldest princess. Liu Ruosi did not want to say anything, and listened to the conversation between the eldest princess and Old Mrs. Liu.

, while looking around briefly.

She recognized most of the female relatives in this room, and some did not. Mrs. Chu, Dingyuan Bo's wife, and Mrs. Chen, the wife of the Minister of Rites, were all familiar to Liu Ruosi. Mrs. Chu brought three people with her today.

A girl came. They all looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. They were all dressed up very pretty.

/ Li. Ms. Chen also brought two nieces from her family. There was also a middle-aged woman wearing azurite sitting at the bottom. Liu Ruosi had never seen her before, but she was Mrs. Yang of the Guan family, the right minister of the Ministry of War.

, Yang was also accompanied by a girl, who looked a little younger, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

The eldest princess's house is already magnificent, and everyone in the house is also jeweled. At a glance, only Yang's mother and daughter look a little shabby.

Liu Ruosi couldn't help but take another look at the mother and daughter. Ms. Yang was thin, her face was a little sallow, and she looked like she had been ill for a long time. Her daughter was also thin and small, and she was quite reserved when she sat there.

Looking at the mother and daughter, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but think that she had accidentally heard about Guan Xiangdong, the right minister of the Ministry of War, doting on his concubine and killing his wife. Looking at the appearance of the mother and daughter, this rumor was very credible.

"...Isn't there another eldest lady? Why didn't she come today?" the eldest princess asked Old Mrs. Liu.

"I was going to come, but I suddenly contracted a serious illness in the past two days. I was afraid of others, so I didn't come." Old Mrs. Liu said with a smile.

"The old lady's granddaughters are all good-looking. I still remember the eldest girl. She spoke very eloquently, but her appearance is slightly worse than the three girls like you." The eldest princess said, looking at Liu Ruosi.

"...bring her to pay respects to the princess another day." Old Mrs. Liu guided Liu Ruoyuan away, and then told the eldest princess about Liu Ruosi, "...this child has been well-behaved, smart, and extremely filial since she was a child. Follow me.

Her father read books, wrote articles... and was also very skilled with her hands. The forehead mop I wear was embroidered by her herself. Whenever she had time, she would accompany me to talk, and the scriptures she copied were the best..."

Listening to Mrs. Liu praising herself in front of the eldest princess, Liu Ruosi secretly felt a little embarrassed. What made her feel even worse was that the eldest princess was looking at her more and more eagerly.

"What books have you read? It's so annoying that that scoundrel of mine doesn't make much progress in reading..."

Halfway through the eldest princess's words, a little girl came in from outside to report that Princess Yongjing was here.

The eldest princess hurriedly put down her words and stood up to greet him personally.

Princess Yongjing was welcomed in, and everyone came to greet her. Liu Ruosi stood behind Mrs. Liu, and joined everyone in kneeling down to give a blessing to Princess Yongjing Su. They were all in the capital, and some people even did not want to see each other again.

, but it was inevitable to meet. Liu Ruosi could only accept this reality and try not to let her inner emotions show on her face. Now that they had met, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but look at Su.

Nowadays, Mrs. Su is not yet forty years old, with an oval face, dull eyebrows, a medium build, and a slightly fat waist. Ms. Su did not come alone, she also brought a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with her.

.

"... She stayed at my place, so she followed me here. Her mother and uncle thought they would be here soon." Everyone sat down, and Mrs. Su smiled at the eldest princess.

"This child is still the same as when he was a child. He just likes to stick to you." The eldest princess smiled, hugging the young girl and letting her sit on the couch next to her, looking very intimate.

"...Only the third aunt always remembers little things from her childhood." The girl said coquettishly to the eldest princess.

"Miss Su Qi is becoming more and more beautiful."

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard that Miss Seven is out of Beijing..."

There were female relatives present who were busy smiling and flattering.

Miss Su Qi, Su Qingnuan, this is another name that Liu Ruosi will never forget. Seeing that pretty face, still so lively and charming, with an innocent look in her eyes, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but smile.

Mi. Miss Su Qi, she hasn’t changed at all.

The natal family of the Su family of Princess Yongjing is also a wealthy official family. The Su family currently has two families in the capital. One room is for Su Bao, who is now the Minister of Rites, and the other room is for Su Shi, the imperial wine minister. The Su family of Princess Yongjing

He is a biological brother and sister to Su Shi, and Su Qingnuan is Su Shi's daughter, ranking seventh in the Su clan.

Because the Su family was married to Prince Yongjing of the clan, Su Qingnuan followed the Rong Chenghan brothers and affectionately called the eldest princess the third aunt. There is nothing wrong with this term in terms of seniority. But in fact, Rong Chenghan

The brothers rarely call the eldest princess this way, but Su Qingnuan will definitely call her this way every time they meet her.

Su Qingnuan's brothers and sisters would not address the eldest princess like this when they meet her. Su Qingnuan is probably the most pampered girl in the Su clan. There have been rumors in Beijing for a long time that it is Su Qingnuan.

When you reach the age, you will definitely enter the palace. Many people are very

I believe this rumor. The Su family has a distinguished status. Su Qingnuan is good-looking and talented. The Su family has produced a noble concubine in previous generations, and now it is only natural that a golden phoenix will be born. Therefore.

, many people will be a little more fawning when they see Su Qingnuan.

However, Liu Ruosi remembered very clearly that until her death, Su Qingnuan did not enter the palace. Not only did she not enter the palace, this girl Su Qi was already eighteen years old at that time, but she had not yet been engaged. It was really strange.

Something abnormal must be a monster, and there is naturally a profound reason behind this strange thing. Thinking of this, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Mrs. Su said a few words to the eldest princess, then looked at the female members of the Liu family.

"The old lady looks good." Mrs. Su said to Old Mrs. Liu, her attitude was very kind and cordial, which was different from when she had seen Old Mrs. Liu before. Everyone in the Liu family understood that this was because Rong Chenghan had become Master Liu Er as his disciple.

for the sake of.

"Thanks to the princess," Mrs. Liu quickly stood up and said, "the princess seems to be in peace now."

Princess Yongjing leaned over and asked Mrs. Liu to sit down and talk.

"It's an old problem, and it gets worse in winter. Now that the weather is warm, it's much better." Mrs. Su said, talking to Mrs. Liu Er again, and then her eyes fell on Liu Ruosi.

"Is this the daughter?" Mrs. Su asked Mrs. Liu Er.

"It's my girl who came to see the princess." Mrs. Liu Er waved to Liu Ruosi.

No matter how reluctant Liu Ruosi was, she had no choice but to stand up, take two steps towards Su, and bend her knees to receive a blessing.

"Greetings to the princess."

"Get up quickly," Mrs. Su raised her hand to let Liu Ruosi stand up. She looked at Liu Ruosi and said with a smile, "Sure enough, she looks good. I like her very much when I see her. How old are you this year? What is your genus?"

Are you getting married yet?"

Mrs. Liu Er was busy answering for Liu Ruosi.

"I wonder which family is lucky enough to marry this girl." Mrs. Su smiled and asked someone to bring up a brocade box. Inside the brocade box was a budgie decorated with beads and emeralds.

"As a meeting gift for the third girl, don't think it's too small."

Liu Ruosi didn't answer and went to see Mrs. Liu Er. Mrs. Liu declined a little and asked Liu Ruosi to accept it.

"This is my aunt's favorite. I asked for it twice, but my aunt refused to give it to me." Su Qingnuan smiled.
