Chapter 170
Noble guest?
The honored guest in Princess Changping’s mouth couldn’t be King Yan!
Ling Jingshu subconsciously frowned
All the people sitting on this boat were women, and the two handsome male favorites by Princess Changping’s side were nominally in the status of chamberlains, not considered proper men
Yan Wang can be different, if he is also to the Changping Princess to come to the banquet
Wouldn’t it be a surprise to the famous ladies on this ship full of them?
Jiang and Ling Jingyan looked at each other face to face, their hearts all sinking slightlyI don’t know who is the honored guest that Your Highness is talking about?”
The lively and delicate Jiang Shuyue asked the question that everyone was curious about in their hearts
Everyone coincidentally pricked up their ears to listen
Princess Changping spread a smile in a flavorful manner, “I have also invited An Ya to be my guest today”
It turned out to be Princess Anya
Ling Jingshu sighed in reliefAnya usually lives in the palace, and her nature is on the quiet side, she rarely goes out of the house”
Princess Changping smiled and said, “Yesterday when I went into the palace to pay my respects to mother, I saw Anya and specially invited her to come as a guest
I thought she wouldn’t come, but I didn’t expect to answer in one breath
I also feel joyful in my heart”There is no need for everyone to feel constrained
When An Ya comes later, just talk and act as usual”
Everyone was busy smiling and agreed
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Princess An Ya came
Princess Anya is only twelve years old this year, the body shape has not yet developed, and more than the same age of the young girl weak, look or a face of childishness
Changping Princess and An Ya Princess age difference of more than ten years, weekdays and not much, can not talk about how much deep feelings
However, in front of outsiders, always have to show some intimacyAnya, you can finally come”
Princess Changping smiled as she got up to greet her, holding Princess Anya’s hand, looking quite intimate, “I’ve just been chanting about you!”
Princess Anya smiled shyly, and answered in a low voice: “Today, I went to Mother’s place to pay my respects, and all the concubines were there, so even though I wanted to leave, I was not in a position to open my mouth
I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t open my mouth I even tired my sister and all of you to wait for a long time
The heart is really sorry”
Said, rushed the crowd apologetic smile
The people even said dare not
Then, Princess Changping introduced all the people on the boat for Princess An Ya one by one
Princess Anya smiled and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, revealing her fine teeth
When those eyes contained a smile
It was like a spring breeze
She was extremely similar to Imperial Doctor WeiMy daughter, Ling Jingshu, meet Princess An Ya”
Ling Jingshu and Jiang’s Ling Jingyan rose together to salute
Princess Anya’s clear and soft voice rang out, “Quickly, please excuse yourself
Today, we are all guests invited by sister, and it is fate to say that we are all on a boat together to cruise the lake and enjoy the lotus
Always sticking to these rules of etiquette, it will be no fun
Sit down and talk together!”
Did not put on half a point of princess stand
She was very easy-going and approachable
Ling Jingshu and the others thanked her and sat down again
Ling Jingshu never had a good feeling about the royal family
There was no need to mention the overbearing and domineering Yan Wang siblings, the powerful Empress Xu was a life and death enemy who had given her death in her previous life, and the lofty Crown Princess held preconceived notions about her
Even the Emperor’s grandson who claimed to like her, how had he ever truly understood and respected her?
Like a child who saw a new and interesting toy, he thought of taking what he liked for himself
This Princess Anya, however, is very easy to generate favorable feelings
Princess Anya and Princess Changping sat at the top, and the rest of the ladies were sitting together in twos
Although there was no deliberate distinction, however, on the whole, the higher the birth
The closer the seat was to the two princesses
With Ling Jingshu Ling Jingyan’s status, she could only be relegated to the bottom seat
After exchanging pleasantries, Princess Changping ordered the boat to start
Responsible for rowing the boat, are all the princess residence of the palace maids
The palace maidens are not as strong as the boatman, the good thing is that swimming in the lake is slow and easy
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, blowing a gentle breeze, as far as the eye can see is beautiful and beautiful lotus, it is very pleasant
Princess Changping also proposed: “All of you here, are the capital’s most outstanding outstanding girls
The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad
Today’s lake, everyone to play a song to help”
As for the qin xiao flute and other instruments
The boat has already prepared them
Su Ying laughed and said, “If we are talking about the zither, how dare we make a fool of ourselves in front of your highness
I have the courage to return, please your highness first play a song, also let the sisters who have never heard of your highness zither art to open their ears”
This ass-kissing hit the bull’s-eye
The crowd agreed: “Yeah
I’ve long heard that Your Highness’ zither skills are marvelous, and today I’ll finally be able to catch a glimpse of the marvelous sound”
Ling Jingshu intended to get close to Princess Changping, and spoke exceptionally well: “Sister Su has even heard His Highness play the zither, and this kind of good fortune is really enviable to us”
Princess Changping has always prided herself on her zither skills and was very happy to be in the limelight, and in the midst of the crowd’s praise, she smoothly agreed
A side of the palace maid has long been smartly moved the piano to the front of the Princess Changping
Princess Changping is good at playing the zither
There were quite a few famous qins and guqins in the mansion
The one prepared on the boat was an ancient zither with an elegant and pleasant sound
Princess Changping’s skill in playing the zither also really deserves the word “skillful”, not all of them are touted by the crowd
After playing a song, the crowd’s praises were endless
Princess Changping’s eyes flashed with self-satisfaction, and said to Princess Anya, “Anya, you also play a song”
Princess Anya excused herself with some difficulty, “Sister also knows me
Since childhood, my body is weak, and I have no talent in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, so it’s okay to practice on weekdays to relieve boredom
Today, there are so many people here, and my sister is in front of me, so I don’t have the heart to make a fool of myself
Sister, please spare me this time!”
Princess Anya had a bitter little face, speaking pitifully
Princess Changping was dumbfounded, “That’s all!
You don’t want to play the zither, I won’t force you
However, according to the rules of our weekday banquets, you must always be penalized additionally”
Wonderful eyes turn, already have an idea: “on the penalty you personally fold a lotus, this pond full of lotus is mostly pink, you have to pick a white”
This punishment is also elegant and interesting
Princess Anya is still childlike, smiled and nodded
Sideways, she carefully surveyed the lotus pond, looking for white lotus flowers
At this moment, a clear and pleasant young girl’s voice rang out, “Your Highness, I’m also not good at playing the zither, so why don’t I also join Princess Anya in picking lotus flowers!”
The person who spoke was none other than Ling Jingshu
Ling Jingyan glanced at Ling Jingshu with slight consternation, secretly muttering in her heart
This Ah Shu, is she really not good at playing the zither, or is she intentionally trying to get close to Princess Anya?
Playing the zither or picking lotus, it was all a figure of fun
Princess Changping smiled happily, “That’s good, you can come over and accompany An Ya to pick lotus together”
Ling Jingshu did not excuse herself and rose with a smile, walking to the side of Princess Anya
As for the others, they were either preparing zither music or playing flutes and blowing pipes, a lively scene
