Li Hongyuan chose "riding", which was indeed the best way to show off a man's valiance. However, because there were no more requirements, and it was not about comparing with others, how to be outstanding, eye-catching, and make people clap their hands and applaud, this required excellent riding skills to create enough thrills and excitement. If it was just simply riding the horse out for a round, it would definitely not pass.
It was not unexpected that he would make such a choice. He, Li Hongyuan, was not good at other things, but he was absolutely adept at eating, drinking, and having fun. That was "eating out of class, drinking out of taste, playing out of style". There were not many people who could compare to him in terms of riding skills. While the capital's hedonistic sons were afraid of him, they also wanted to follow behind him. As long as this person did not get angry, they would definitely be very comfortable. Unfortunately, he was used to enjoying himself and was not interested in taking them to play with him.
As for the horses in Great Elder Princess's Mansion, they were definitely not bad. The horses prepared for the performances of the childes were all carefully selected. The breed of the horses had to be good, and at the same time, gentle and obedient. What if the irritable and disobedient horse accidentally hurt people?
As soon as the carefully selected horse was pulled to the front of Li Hongyuan, he just glanced at it and said, "Change."
Anyway, he had prepared several horses, and there must be one that could satisfy him.
When he changed to the third horse, Li Hongyuan directly looked at Great Elder Princess and said, "Imperial Aunt, are the horses in your mansion just like these? Can't you find a horse that is a little bit better? "
Great Elder Princess was almost irritated by him. Although it was not the best horse in the mansion, it was definitely a first-class horse compared with the horses raised by many people. How could this bastard think it was not good enough? It must be said that he was spoiled by his imperial brother. All the good things were given to him first, and he didn't like the inferior things.
Jing Wan felt that she probably knew why Jin Qinwang was so hateful. It must be said that his temper was cruel and ruthless, but it was not to the extent that he would lay his hands on his loved ones. But he deliberately pulled the hatred of this group of people together. So it turned out that this mouth was really too damaging. And that attitude of his, perhaps he himself did not feel any special meaning, but in the eyes of others, that was showing off all the time. He looked at the best things in other people's houses as if they were garbage, which could only mean that the worst things in his hands were better than this. How could he not make others jealous?
Li Hongyuan didn't know these things? No, he must know. Sometimes he did it on purpose, sometimes it was purely out of habit, and he didn't notice these things at all. The more he was like this, the more people wanted to chop him up. This kind of thing could become a habit. He was not piled up by mountains of gold and silver, but by a lot of treasures in the world that money in the world could not buy.
"Go and bring out the new horse of the Prince Consort to Prince Jin." Great Elder Princess said with a cold face.
The Prince Consort naturally wouldn't say anything about the decision of Great Elder Princess, but after all, it was the Prince Consort's favorite horse. He had to take time to take a look at it every day. The most important thing was that the horse was wild and hard to tame, and it had not been completely tamed until now. Except for the manservant who took care of it every day and Prince Consort Jiang, it was even difficult for others to get close to it.
It was better to inform the Prince Consort about this matter. If the couple quarreled about it later, it would not be beautiful.
Prince Consort Jiang heard the manservant's report in a hurry, and they also saw that Li Hongyuan was indeed in a deadlock for a long time because of the choice of the horse. Prince Consort Jiang also knew that Li Hongyuan had the ability to annoy people, so he sighed and said, "I'll listen to Princess."
The horse was brought over at the fastest speed. Except for a tuft of white hair on the top of its head and four hooves, the rest of its body was almost black. The manservant carried the saddle and other things. Obviously, he didn't want those things to be on his body.
This horse might finally be acceptable. Li Hongyuan stood up, but the horse took two steps back and even snorted at Li Hongyuan and kicked its hooves. Even the horse didn't like him?
The manservant was shocked and hurriedly pulled the reins.
Li Hongyuan didn't mind at all. He took two steps forward and waved his hand for the manservant to move to the side. The manservant was worried that the horse would hurt him, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders. He could only take two steps back, but he didn't dare to go too far.
Li Hongyuan patted the horse's neck. The horse whinnied and almost raised its hooves. However, it didn't do so in the end. This was because Li Hongyuan's arm went from the bottom of its neck to the other side as if he was hugging it with one hand. Its hooves kicked the ground a few times anxiously, as if it could attack him at any time. The manservant only felt his heart skip a beat. However, miraculously, the horse slowly became docile. Its raised head also slightly lowered.
"Old Six's ability to train horses is still so amazing. No matter how fierce the horse is, no matter how much it dislikes him at the beginning, it will quickly become docile under his hands. There is no exception. Everything he does is clearly seen in his eyes, but if others do it, it will have no effect at all." Li Hongming sighed. "Old Six's horse training ability is so amazing.
Li Hongyi, on the other hand, didn't look so good. It was not the first time that he had been injured when Li Hongyuan was riding a horse. Moreover, it reminded him of the time when Li Hongyuan stepped on his back and almost overturned the carriage when he was riding a horse. Now the injury on his back hadn't healed yet. If it weren't for Great Elder Princess's birthday, he wouldn't go out today.
Even so, he had to admit that Li Hongming's words were true. Li Hongyuan's unique skills could not be learned by others.
Was Li Hongyuan good at training horses? Judging from the speed of the horse's obedience, he was indeed good.
But the fact was that he was not good at training horses. He just used his power to frighten them.
Did you know what animal he killed the most in his previous life? It was a horse, a war horse.
Not only did he kill the enemy's warhorses on the battlefield, but he also encountered an accident during a march. Not only did he get lost, but he was also surrounded and intercepted by the enemy. The dry rations he had brought with him were all gone, and he had nowhere else to go. Li Hongyuan gave the order to kill the horses, but the soldiers were unwilling to do so. Li Hongyuan also didn't give the order to kill the horses. Instead, he did it himself. Over a hundred horses were all killed by him. From then on, no matter what kind of horse it was, it was innately repelled by him and was especially afraid of him.
Some animals were very intelligent. They seemed to be able to feel some things. Even if Li Hongyuan was reborn, the things engraved in the depths of his soul could not be erased. He was never liked by horses. The one he often rode now was an exception. Perhaps it was used to it, but it was close to him.
He didn't want to change this. All he wanted was for them to submit.
The reason why the horse was so docile now was because it felt that its life was threatened. The arm around its neck told it that if it dared to resist, it would break its neck and flip it to the ground, never to get up again.
Li Hongyuan patted the horse's neck again. "A beast will be a beast. Saddle the horse. "
The process of saddling the horse was very smooth. It was so smooth that the servant could not believe it. Then, he looked at Li Hongyuan with eyes full of admiration. If he knew the reason, he would be scared shitless.
Li Hongyuan flipped onto the horse in an exceptionally elegant manner. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but he glanced at the female guests' seats.
With just one glance, it was unknown how many young ladies' heartbeats sped up. There was no other way. This person's reputation was indeed terrible, but the lethality of his appearance was too great. Now, it would not cause any harm to them. In addition, that heroic posture of mounting the horse was really convincing. Therefore, it did not prevent them from secretly fantasizing.
Jingwan was speechless at this Jin Qinwang who was always flirting with people. When he was not scourging people, he was a super scourge. If he deliberately went to harm people, it was unknown how many people would fall into his hands.
Well, the people that he deliberately wanted to flirt with were not flirted with this time. Those that he was not interested in, he flirted with a bunch. However, Li Hongyuan completely ignored these people. Pulling the reins, his feet squeezed the horse's belly. The horse obediently began to run.
In a very short period of time, Li Hongyuan made the horse run at its fastest speed. Then, it rushed onto the flower terrace. Under his control, the horse leaped and by the edge of the flower terrace, it leaped onto the corridor next to the lake. It must be said that the corridor's width was not as long as the horse's body. It was about to cross the corridor and fall into the lake from the other side.
It caused many people to cry out in alarm. There were even more women who subconsciously covered their eyes. However, some people were indifferent and even looked at it with high spirits. Obviously, it was not the first time that Li Hongyuan did this kind of thing.
The horse turned its body. The degree of the twist made people think that it would break its spine. However, it did not. The body that had already leaped out of the lake turned back and its hind legs happened to step on the corridor's guardrail. With a crack, the solid stone guardrail cracked. Then, there was even a part that directly splashed out and fell into the water.
The horse carried Li Hongyuan along the corridor and went far away.
And in such a short period of time, it made people tremble with fear and their hearts beat faster … …
The corridor on the lake was not straight. Instead, it had nine bends and eighteen bends. Every corner was almost vertical. In some places, the distance between the two corners was also less than the length of the horse's body. But even so, the horse was always able to smoothly pass through. Later, you would find that it did not even touch the guardrail.
"It must be said that Jin Qinwang's riding skills are really superb. If I didn't know that this horse was indeed transported back to the capital from outside and entered Great Princess Royal's fu, I would have thought that Jin Qinwang was its former master. With this degree of proficiency in riding, no one would believe that it was the first time he cooperated with it. "Prince Consort Jiang sighed and said. In fact, his heart was a bit sour. Although this horse was new, in reality, it was not new. He had only tried to ride it once or twice, and this beast was not very cooperative. It was lazy as if it did not want to pay attention to him. Now that it was running, it was really a "white-eyed horse"!
The others at the side all nodded in agreement.
Li Hongyuan once again straddled the two close-by corridors. Originally, they thought that the previous play would repeat itself. However, everyone was wrong once again. The horse directly stepped on the guardrail and its entire body soared into the air. His goal was actually the small island on the lake that was more than one zhang away. It landed steadily and its hind hooves touched a little bit of the water. That force also splashed a lot of water.
Stepping on the flowers, crossing over the flowers and trees, it leaped onto a lower rockery. With another leap, it went onto another rockery. This repeated several times until the horse and the person reached the highest point. The horse neighed, its front hooves raised high, and the person on the horse's back was cold and handsome … …
At that moment, it made Jingwan think of a very classic picture from her previous life. The appearance of a certain Great Western Emperor riding a divine horse and facing the wind was truly, truly … …
Even those who didn't like Li Hongyuan couldn't help secretly applauding at this moment, not to mention those young masters who had only heard of Li Hongyuan's bad reputation but actually had little contact with him. In fact, they were so afraid of Li Hongyuan. In fact, there were not many people who had really been beaten by him. The main reason was that his means were a little cruel. One person spread it to ten people, and ten people spread it to a hundred people. Everyone subconsciously regarded him as the god of plague and avoided him. Unexpectedly, Prince Jin's horsemanship was so exquisite.
As the saying went, it was easy to go up, but difficult to come down. Was it difficult for Li Hongyuan? He told you with action that it was not difficult!
Similarly, he didn't carefully control the horse to come down bit by bit. Instead, he directly jumped down and went straight to the lake … …
What was he going to do? Great Elder Princess was so shocked that she stood up … …
Perhaps some people thought that he was bound to fall into the water this time, but would Li Hongyuan let people see his heroic appearance one moment and then see him fall into the water the next moment? Definitely not. The horse fell on the water, and then jumped up again. After a few jumps and falls, it returned to the corridor again.
What was going on? Could the horse run on the water?
It turned out that there were a lot of round stones under the water. Some were high and some were low, and some were exposed to the water, but the people on the shore couldn't see them. If the horse could really run on the water, it would be really strange.
In Jingwan's view, this was definitely ten times or a hundred times more exciting than the highest standard equestrian competition in her previous life and the most intense horse racing competition. However, Prince Jin was simply playing with his heartbeat and even his life. If the onlookers were like this, then how did he feel as the person involved? If he made a mistake, if he didn't cooperate well, it was possible … … Didn't he have the slightest fear in his heart? Seeing that he was so bold and controlled the horse without stagnation, what gave him such confidence and fearlessness?
Going back along the corridor, Li Hongyuan went ashore and landed on the men's side. He slid off the horse, and the horse trotted a few steps before stopping. Compared with Li Hongyuan's refreshed look, the horse was a little breathless. Prince Consort Jiang was so distressed that he hurriedly asked someone to take the horse back to take care of it.
Li Hongyuan's riding skills were beyond doubt, but according to his way of playing, few horses could last him for a long time.
Did this performance pass? It was more than pass. She might not see it a second time in her life. Those who thought that their riding skills were excellent would probably not dare to brag about it in the future. However, should she give Li Hongyuan a reward? Great Elder Princess gritted her teeth and said that she shouldn't even think about it. It was good enough that she didn't ask him for compensation for destroying the things in her mansion. As for this reward, Jingwan wouldn't want it, but Ruan Fangfei wanted it. She didn't care about what it was, but cared about its relationship with Li Hongyuan. Unfortunately, she couldn't ask for it.
However, after such an experience, no one remembered that Ruan Fangfei was a poet. In the past, it had already been spread all over the country. Even some old adults might praise it.
If the limelight had been stolen by others, she might have bitten the other party to death in her heart, or think of a way to get it back after the event. However, it was Li Hongyuan. Not only did she not hate him, but her whole heart was fluttering. Anyway, he would be hers, so it didn't matter.
There were eight rewards before, and now there were still eight rewards.
Then they continued …
"Master, it's time for the banquet."
It turned out that she was so happy that she forgot the time.
Great Elder Princess made the decision to continue the banquet the next day. As for the opera after the banquet, it was all canceled.
Great Elder Princess was the birthday girl today. She was originally the eldest, so Prince Consort Jiang couldn't do anything.
Great Elder Princess had already said that if they couldn't take all eight rewards in the first round, the second round would be held. If they couldn't take all eight rewards in the second round, haha …
The group of young masters were all very depressed. If they were asked to choose what they were good at like Prince Jin, it wouldn't take long for them to divide all the rewards, let alone eight. Unfortunately, when it came to Great Elder Princess, they still had to follow the rules obediently. Prince Jin was the only one, so there was no way to imitate him.
Before taking the banquet, Jingwan went to Madam Luo and asked, "Grandma, where is Fourth Sister?"
"I've found her. Now she's in the guest courtyard of Great Elder Princess's Mansion. I'll ask someone to keep an eye on her."
Jingwan nodded. If she rushed out of Great Elder Princess's Mansion with a pig's head, she would be criticized by others. She might even offend Great Elder Princess. "Granddaughter, go and see her."
Old Madam Luo nodded. She knew that Jingwan had a good temper, but she was definitely not the type to repay evil with good. It was normal for Jingwan to want to teach her a lesson because of what Jingwan had done. She knew that Jingwan would do things with discretion, so she didn't need to remind her.
Jingwan found the place where Luo Jingying was. Her two maids and wet nurse were outside the door. When they saw Jingwan, they almost shrank into a ball. Luo Jingying's condition was worse than she had expected. Perhaps because she was disobedient, her grandma directly ordered people to tie her up and gag her. Her red and swollen face was exposed.
Seeing Jingwan, Luo Jingying, who had been quiet, went crazy again. She stood up and wanted to hit Jingwan. However, the two old maids left by Madam Luo were not to be trifled with. They quickly held her down and forced her to sit back.
Luo Jingying stared at Jingwan. Her hatred was almost tangible. She kept murmuring to Jingwan.
Jingwan looked at her calmly and even reached out to touch her face. This time, her grandma probably really wanted to punish her severely. It had been so long, but she hadn't asked anyone to apply medicine to her face.
Luo Jingying wanted to turn her head away. Unfortunately, before Jingwan could do anything, an old maid pinched her neck and forced her to turn her head. If her eyes could kill, the old maid would have been stabbed into meat paste. However, the old maid didn't care. On the one hand, she probably wanted to please Jingwan. On the other hand, she probably wanted to vent her resentment. It was not easy for them to come to Great Elder Princess's Mansion. However, because of this girl, they had to stay here instead of watching the fun outside. Apart from other things, they could see so many noble people, which was enough for them to go back and show off for a long time. Now, if they were asked, they couldn't give a good explanation. How shameful it would be.
Because Jingwan's fingers were still bandaged, they were naturally not as smooth as her fingers. She rubbed Luo Jingying's face back and forth, making Luo Jingying roar even more fiercely. "Do you know what you look like now? Go get a basin of water and let our Fourth Miss look at herself. She can see more clearly than a bronze mirror. "
Since Luo Jingying always made trouble for her Fourth Miss, Jingwan's maids were naturally very angry. At this moment, they were very active in getting water.
They moved a stool and put the basin of water in front of Luo Jingying. In order to prevent her from kicking over the basin, the old maid simply tied her feet to the legs of the chair. Jingwan didn't agree with this method. However, if this person was Luo Jingying, she just looked at her coldly. Jingwan pointed at the basin of water and said, "Look at yourself." Seeing that she still straightened her neck and stared at Jingwan fiercely, the old maid said, "It's probably inconvenient for Fourth Miss. Help her."
Without hesitation, the old maid held her head and pressed it above the basin of water.
Even if Luo Jingying didn't want to see it, her swollen face was reflected in her eyes at the first moment.
Luo Jingying knew that her face was terrible, but she didn't expect it to be so terrible. Like many other girls, she valued her face more than her life. Now she looked like this. Luo Jingying widened her eyes and even couldn't believe that it was her. She began to struggle desperately, trying to overturn the basin of water. Unfortunately …
"You know better than me what kind of person Li Ruyu is. When you went to find her, you should have thought of the possibility of being bitten by her. Even if you wanted to set me up, there are so many princesses and ladies with much higher status than me. Why did you have to find her? Of course, she has an advantage over others. She has a small conflict with me, so it's easier for you to sow discord. "In fact, there was probably another reason that Li Ruyu was reckless and brainless. Jingwan knew that, so did Luo Jingying. However, it was difficult to control this kind of person who did everything according to her own preferences." The others are different. They may be tempted, but they won't do anything impolite. They are more likely to exchange benefits with me. Maybe they can use this opportunity to get closer to me. This is not what you want to see. Speaking of which, your ultimate goal is undoubtedly the secret formula in my hands. Actually, if you were more patient and slowly plotted, I would have taken out the formula in my hands sooner or later. After all, Sister Jia and the others are also using it. It's only a matter of time before they find out. They are of noble status, so it's impossible for me not to give it to them. To me, it doesn't matter if it's one person or a group of people. As long as it's an outsider, it doesn't make a difference. That's why I'm curious. What made you so angry and impatient that you used such a simple and crude method? You didn't even try to hide your true intentions. Third Aunt definitely didn't teach you to do this. Tell me, if Third Aunt finds out about this, will she die of anger? You've ruined her 'heroic' reputation. " Jingwan leisurely sat down beside her and tilted her head to look at her. "Also, if you set up your sisters so brazenly, when you go back, it won't be as simple as being locked up. Even though you knew this, you still did it without hesitation. Are you really going crazy because you want to harm me, or are you confident that you can escape punishment?"
Luo Jingying kept murmuring to Jingwan …
"I know you won't tell me. I was just asking and didn't want an answer, so I didn't intend to let you go. At least you can let me have some peace by doing this. Let me do it. In fact, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I play the zither? "Jingwan said and looked at her fingers." Although it's a little tragic, I became famous after playing the zither, won the applause of the audience, won the favor of Great Elder Princess, and then the grand occasion that you don't know later. Now, few of the nobles in the capital city will forget me. Look, it's all because of you. "Jingwan sighed softly." Alas, in fact, Fourth Sister likes me the most. You paved the way for me with your face. Otherwise, at this time, I'm afraid that I'm still sitting in the corner unknown. Tell me, how should I repay you? "
Jingwan's maidservant covered her mouth as her shoulders trembled. Her family's Young Miss was really too bad. Whenever Fourth Young Miss was in pain, she would poke her there. However, her family's Young Miss was so bad that it was not annoying at all. It was all Fourth Young Miss's fault in the first place. Her family's Young Miss had always been kind to others. There were so many sisters in the fu, and her Young Miss was not good to any of them. Only Fourth Young Miss, who only knew how to blame others and never saw her own fault. She always saw others not treating her well.
Jing Wan glanced at the two of them. The two of them quickly retracted their smiles and stood properly.
Luo Jingying had never hated Luo Jingwan so much. She thought, "This b * tch, b * tch, b * tch …"
Her mother was right. This b * tch was born to be her jinx. As long as this b * tch was alive, she would not have a good life.
Didn't she know what was going on outside? Didn't she know that Jingwan had caused a storm? She knew that these two damn b * tches would take turns to go out and then come back to tell another person what they had heard from the servants in Great Elder Princess's Mansion. In fact, they were talking to her.
Luo Jingwan was so glamorous, so intelligent, and so likable. She had fought for opportunities for the ten young masters. So many people were grateful to her, and so many people wanted to marry her as their daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, or granddaughter-in-law. The most famous girl in the capital was completely overshadowed by her. This was what Luo Jingying used to think. Time and time again, she dreamed of standing at the highest position, being favored by the nobles, pursued by all the young masters, and carefully protected by them. She was envied by all the other noble ladies, and all of them tried to curry favor with her and flatter her. She could decide the life and death of others with just one word. She laughed very happily, but when she woke up, the lonely little courtyard made her want to go crazy.
She studied hard and learned a lot of things step by step. In a few years, she gained a little reputation in the capital city. Even if she didn't want to admit it, her reputation was actually only in the middle and lower classes. She couldn't even touch the threshold of the highest circle in the capital city. Luo Jingwan, on the other hand, did not know anything. She was just a slut who worked with mud and raised flowers. She had only been in the Capital for a month, but she had already hooked up with someone whom she could not even hook up with no matter how hard she tried. However, that person's face was disfigured very quickly. Ha, see, Luo Jingwan was her nemesis. She was so happy, and she was even happier because she would soon be able to enter Prince Rui's Mansion. However, this good mood did not last long. Not only did she fail to scheme against Luo Jingwan, but she had also gotten herself into deep trouble. In just a short period of time, this slut had soared into the sky and achieved something that others could not achieve in a few years or even a lifetime …
All these were the opportunities she created for her, the opportunities she created!
This glory should have belonged to him, to him!
Luo Jingying roared at Jingwan, and her eyes were bloodshot, like a beast who was about to lose its mind.
Seeing her like this, even her own maidservant and wet nurse who were peeking outside the door were shocked. How did their Miss, their Miss turn into such a demon-like appearance?
Jingwan looked at her calmly. Once a person went crazy, she couldn't be called a person anymore.
People like Luo Jingying were hopeless unless she really sobered up.
Jingwan didn't intend to do anything to her. Her grandmother would deal with her. She didn't want to dirty her hands. Now it was enough to provoke her. By the way, when she went back, she would tell Concubine Huan of the third branch that the drum was guarded and not anyone could beat it. If her Third Uncle really divorced his wife, even if she couldn't be the legal wife, she could make the third branch have no mistress in the backyard.
"Fourth Miss is not well now. You take good care of her. There are many noble people in Great Elder Princess's Mansion. Don't offend them."
"Yes, Third Miss, don't worry. We will take good care of Fourth Miss."
Jingwan nodded, and then looked at Luo Jingying, "If a girl is known to be crazy, what do you think the consequences will be? So, Luo Jingying, sober up and don't do stupid things. "She reached out and pulled the cloth from her mouth.
If a girl went crazy, her family had a reason to lock her up for life. Even if she looked normal, no one would come to her house to marry her. Who wouldn't worry about marrying a crazy girl who might go crazy at any time? Luo Jingying bit the tip of her tongue until it bled, and then she restrained herself from roaring out. Watching Jingwan walk out of the door, she gnashed her teeth and cursed in a low voice, "Luo Jingwan, you bitch. You will die a horrible death. You will die a horrible death —"
Her words were like a gust of wind, gently blowing past Jingwan's ears. After a while, they would not leave any trace.
Jingwan stood outside the door and looked at the three servants who served Luo Jingying, "The three of you failed to protect your master, so you are demoted to be rough maids. When you go back, go to the outer yard to do the cleaning."
To be able to serve their master, of course, they wouldn't be idiots who couldn't understand. Although on the surface, she was demoting them, in fact, she was saving them. If Jingwan didn't punish them, then according to Madam Liu's character, they would be beaten to death or directly sold. The three servants hurriedly knelt down, "We are willing to be punished. We are willing to be punished."
Jingwan saved them out of sincerity. However, in Luo Jingying's eyes, she was pretending to be a good person and even bribed the people around her. So, Jingwan wanted to tell her in front of her, "I did it. What are you going to do about it? If you want to scold me, then scold me. What else can you do aside from scolding me? "
Anyway, as long as these three servants were smart, they would quickly go to the outer yard without waiting for her third aunt to free up her hands. Then, Mrs. Liu could only watch helplessly. After all, she was not the master of the inner yard, nor was she the daughter-in-law of the household. At most, she could manage the people and things in her own yard. She had no right to intervene in other places.
After leaving the guest courtyard, Jingwan saw Sun Yijia waiting there. She smiled, "Sister Jia, why are you here?"
"Aren't I waiting for you to come together? Have you dealt with it? "She looked inside as if she was referring to something.
"There's nothing to deal with. I just said a few words."
Sun Yijia had seen the power of Sister Wan's words. Usually, she was good, but in special situations, the people she targeted could only pray for themselves!
For a formal banquet, the female guests' table was naturally in the inner yard, and the male guests' table was in the outer yard.
The guest courtyard for the female guests was naturally in the inner yard, and it wasn't particularly far from here.
It must be said that this banquet wasn't something that could be held as and when one said so, the delay wasn't a big deal. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked.
Then, Jing Wan was intercepted again on the way.
Although one of the people who intercepted her was a maidservant that she didn't recognize, the other was Luo Peishan's manservant.
"Third Young Lady, Master is looking for you to go to the outer yard."
"Are you sure that Grandfather is looking for me?" It wasn't that Jingwan suspected anything, but that her grandfather wouldn't look for her during a meal.
That manservant smiled, "As expected, I can't hide it from Third Young Lady. Actually, it's Grand Secretary Jiang and Prince Consort Jiang."
Alright, Jingwan understood. They couldn't wait any longer. Forget it, she could understand their feelings.
"Alright, then I'll go over. Sister Jia, what about you? Do you want to come with me? "
"I won't go. With you around, I'll only be 'left out', so I won't go."
"Alright, then go take your seat, my future sister-in-law." Jingwan replied with a smile.
Sun Yijia was embarrassed and angry. She was so angry that she wanted to pinch her, "You really don't lose out at all with that mouth of yours."
Jingwan dodged her evil claws and left without looking back.
To avoid clashing with other people, Jingwan was directly led to Prince Consort Jiang's outer study.
Alright, the people waiting here were not only her grandfather, but also the two people that the manservant mentioned. Other than Lord Diwu, there was also the Grand Secretary, Ruan Ruizhong. Because someone in Jiang Ge's family was related to Prince Rui's family by marriage, he was tacitly considered to be part of Prince Rui's family. In fact, he was a relatively neutral person. Apart from his duties, he didn't like to meddle in other people's business. When he had nothing to do, he would play the zither, study the zither scores, drink with his old friends, and occasionally take the birdcage out for a walk after a break. Therefore, it could be said that the people gathered here, including Prince Consort Jiang who had no authority, were all neutral people.
Jingwan greeted them one by one.
Among these people, other than Prince Consort Jiang, they were all in high positions and had accumulated a lot of power. Even Prince Consort Jiang was used to dealing with influential people, so the aura on his body was naturally extraordinary. If a normal young lady saw this for the first time, they would be a bit scared and trembling. Even those princesses and infanta were the same. However, Jingwan wasn't like that. She was well-behaved and had a natural expression. She stood upright with her eyes slightly lowered.
Whether this was an act or if it was real, it naturally couldn't be hidden from this group of old people who had become shrewd.
They nodded slightly with some praise. To say something disgraceful, this young lady, even if she was the Empress who was the mother of the world, she didn't need to train and adapt. She could sit steadily and maintain her composure at the fastest speed.
Grand Secretary Ruan sighed a bit. She originally thought that her youngest daughter of the first wife was already at the top of her age. Now, it seemed that she was still far from it. People of their status and age naturally wouldn't judge a person based on talent. Think about it, Jingwan had already reached the height of being the mother of the world in their eyes. Naturally, there was nothing to nitpick about.
Grand Secretary Jiang's gaze landed on Jingwan's hand. Although half of it was covered by her sleeve, it could still be seen. He frowned with some displeasure. "You hurt your hand? This hand is the most important for a zither player. How could you be so careless? "
"Replying to my lord, my daughter accidentally entered the realm today, which resulted in this result. In reality, my daughter's zither skills haven't reached that level yet. Naturally, I will be more careful in the future."
Grand Secretary Jiang's brows then relaxed. "That zither isn't suitable for you. When you practice, change to a more suitable one."
"Yes, my daughter will remember my lord's teachings."
"Renxun, she's still a young lady. Don't be so serious. Be careful not to scare her. This young lady's music is amazing. Who knows, she might even become your close friend." Ruan Ruizhong smiled and said.
"I forgot that the Grand Secretary has a daughter around the same age. It seems that the Grand Secretary is used to being a loving father and is especially protective of young ladies around the same age. It's hard to say whether they'll become close friends or not. In such matters, the one who reaches the top is the first. If fate allows it in the future, it's not impossible to have such a young friend. "
Jingwan smiled. Although Grand Secretary Jiang's words and actions were a bit reserved and cold, he was a rare open-minded and straightforward person. To be able to sit in the position of Grand Secretary in the inner pavilion, the Jiang Family must have put in a lot of effort.
"If my granddaughter has nothing to do, just take care of the flowers. Don't do things like playing the zither that will hurt your hand." When Luo Peishan knew that Jingwan had hurt her hand, his heart ached. Therefore, it was better for her to not play the zither in the future. She should take care of the flowers and draw a few strokes when she had nothing to do. When she was bored, she should read the newspaper. Otherwise, she could chat with her grandfather about her experiences in taking care of flowers.
Grand Secretary Jiang looked at Luo Peishan and frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Prince Consort Jiang immediately stood up. This uncle of his was obsessed with the zither and would not allow anyone to say anything bad about him. "Miss Luo's hand is injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to copy it. Does the Luo Family have this music score?"
"The music score is in Qi 'an Prefecture and was not brought to the capital. The injury is not serious and will not affect it much. "
"The fingers are connected to the heart. Let's talk about it after your injury is healed. "Although Grand Secretary Jiang was eager to get the music score, he could not be unreasonable.
"Rest assured, my lord. It's really not serious." It could only be said that Jingwan's medicine was miraculous. The most painful moment had passed and she did not feel much pain now. "My daughter can write it down now."
"You really won't force it?"
"I won't force it."
"Okay, then write it down now." Grand Secretary Jiang's tone had a trace of eagerness. The others smiled but did not say anything.
At this moment, the servants were all outside. Prince Consort Jiang was very active in grinding.
Jingwan was slightly stunned. Well, there was no need to be so anxious. After all, he was the prince consort of Great Elder Princess. Grinding for a little girl like her would shorten his life. Grand Secretary Jiang scolded and called his servant in.
Seeing Jingwan's puzzled eyes, Prince Consort Jiang also felt a little embarrassed.
Lord Diwu snorted and said, "Little girl, why do you think Prince Consort Jiang is so anxious? It's because he wants to get the Eighteen Scholars as soon as possible. He just wants to finish the matter of the music score as soon as possible. After all, Grand Secretary Jiang is an elder. Since he got the news, he has been restless and can't wait to get the treasure as soon as possible. At this moment, he probably wants to discuss with you and ask his men to go directly to the Luo Family to get the treasure. "
When Jingwan gave out a pot of Eighteen Scholars, Luo Peishan felt distressed, while Lord Diwu was indignant. He obviously found it first, but now it was going to fall into the hands of others.
Prince Consort Jiang did not deny it. It seemed that he really had this idea.
"After the banquet, I may have to go back to the Luo Family for something. I will bring the flowers here."
Prince Consort Jiang heard that Jingwan was going to the Luo Family for him. This little girl was really considerate. It was said that those pots of treasures were raised in this girl's courtyard. It couldn't be better if she could go back and get them herself. Moreover, they were planted by this girl. She definitely knew better than anyone how to protect the flowers in the best condition.
Grand Secretary Jiang only wanted to slap him for his virtue, but there were so many people, so he still wanted to save some face for him.
Jingwan held the brush. Although the pain intensified, it did not affect her much. She first wrote four words: Ambush from All Sides.
"Ambush from All Sides? Is this the name of the zither piece? "
Jingwan nodded. Then she wrote from memory and told Grand Secretary Jiang what Great Elder Princess said. Grand Secretary Jiang immediately became excited.
Sure enough, Elder Jiang became excited in an instant, "Great Elder Princess is right. This song is very likely to be that song. Good, good, it's really great. Although this song is a pipa song, I've always wanted to listen to it and then change it into a zither song. I've been looking for it all these years, but it's nowhere to be found. I didn't expect that I would suddenly see it today. It's true that I've searched high and low for it, only to find it by chance."
Jingwan laughed. If a piece of music could really make an old man so happy, it was worth it. Moreover, according to Grand Secretary Jiang's character, he would definitely spread this piece of music. She came here from another world and also spread it widely. She should not be wrong.
She handed the two pieces of music to Grand Secretary Jiang. Grand Secretary Jiang held them in his hands as if he had received a treasure. His smile was like that of a child who had received candy.
After this matter was over, they could talk about other things. What else could they do except for flowers?
When they were about to speak, Prince Consort Jiang's servant's voice sounded from outside the door. "Prince Consort, His Majesty's imperial edict has arrived."
They were all used to receiving imperial edicts, so the people in the study were all calm.
Luo Peishan told Jingwan a few words, and then Prince Consort Jiang asked someone to take her away. All the people in the mansion had to be present.
Jingwan joined the group of female guests from the side.
The imperial edict was a reward for Great Elder Princess. However, the eunuch also brought an oral edict.
More or less, that evil spawn of a son of this emperor was indeed a person without good fortune. It was really a happy thing that Sun Yijia was safe and sound. The wedding date did not need to be postponed. Sun Yijia was supposed to get married on the same day as before. The place where she would settle down at the end would just be changed.
Well, there would basically be no more mistakes in this matter. Except that the Luo Family would be very busy, there was nothing else.
