There is also a soft couch in the room, although it looks quite spacious, but it is usually used by maids on night duty, how can Ren Yaoqi let Xiao Jinglin sleep? Hastily said: "Let's live together."

Xiao Jinglin naturally wouldn't let Ren Yaoqi sleep on the couch, so Ren Yaoqi was also very pragmatic. Xiao Jinglin is not a hypocritical person, so the matter was settled like this.

Pingguo was coordinating with Hongying and several maids to carefully check the bed. Sujin, the eldest maid of the princess, came and said that the princess asked the princess to explain something in the past.

After Xiao Jinglin went to see the princess, Ren Yaoqi called Sang Li over after thinking about it, and asked her to see if anyone from the Ren family had come and where they were arranged, and asked her to tell the eldest wife that she was with the princess. Placed. She only brought apples and mulberries into the carriage before, and the rest of the maids got into another carriage, and now she can only let the eldest wife arrange those people.

After going out for a trip, Sangshen told Mrs. Ren Yaoqi that she had brought some ladies from the Ren family over, and that the guest room that was arranged outside was a little far away from here. The old lady Ren also came to Yunyang City, but she didn't come to the hot spring villa, but lived in the other courtyard of Yunyang City. The eldest wife also said to ask Ren Yaoqi to act carefully here, and if there is any need, send someone to inform her.

Soon after Sangshen came back, Xiao Jinglin also came back. Nothing could be seen on the surface, but Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jinglin was probably scolded by the princess because of the previous conflict with Xiao Wei. Xiao Jinglin didn't say anything, and Ren Yaoqi didn't ask either.

There are a lot of people coming to the Qianjin Banquet. Because Yanzhou occupies the advantage of the geographical advantage, the conditions for the daughters who come to participate are more relaxed. Other state capitals do not have as many invitations as Yanzhou, so all the guests who come are really famous daughters. ,Ladylike. If so, there are also one or two hundred ladies.

A lot of young masters from famous families also came, but they will not live in the hot spring villa of Yanbei Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, there are quite a few Zhuangzi near the Sun Moon Spring, and most of them are under the names of nobles from these aristocratic families, and they are fully occupied in the past few days. It is said that several young masters of the Ren family also came, but the Ren family did not have a Zhuangzi nearby, so they borrowed and lived in the Zhuangzi of the Qiu family.

The Yun family was very familiar with arranging such big banquets, so they had already arranged all the guests from each family before noon.

Because the Qianjin Banquet is a blind date banquet in disguise, on the first day of the banquet, those families who have the intention of getting married will socialize and explore each other, and the daughters of each family will come out to get acquainted. The second and third days are for the ladies to compete for beauty and win a good reputation. It is said that all the daughters who have been able to show off at the Qianjin Banquet over the years can be found by good husbands.

People also came to visit the princess one after another, and the princess picked some important people to meet. Xiao Jinglin was impatient and went back and forth with those wives and ladies, and hid with Ren Yaoqi under a linden tree in the side courtyard to read. The princess sent someone to look at her a few times and then ignored her and let her go.

The two also ate lunch in the courtyard. The concubine brought the cook from the palace, but Xiao Jinglin disliked that the cook's cooking was too bland, and she didn't know when she ordered someone to go out. When eating, Hongying brought two big food boxes over. In addition to the special dishes of several big restaurants in Yunyang City, there are actually snacks such as duck blood soup, lotus root flour balls, and pot stickers.

Ren Yaoqi was amazed by the variety of varieties.

Xiao Jinglin was very contented to see Ren Yaoqi's stunned look, but she said flatly: "You come to my place as a guest, I always have to find a way to make you eat well and drink spicy food. The cook my mother uses now makes it In the words of my master, a bird can fade out of your mouth after eating it."

Ren Yaoqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still whispered: "Princess, don't let people hear this." Let the princess know that not only Xiao Jinglin will suffer, but her master will also suffer.

Xiao Jinglin blinked, with a bit of cunning: "Don't worry, you can see that I have been caught before?"

Xiao Jinglin grew up in the border gate since she was a child, surrounded by rough-skinned and thick-skinned men, she heard a lot of laughing and cursing among them, and she was very different from ordinary ladies. So before, she even dared to make jokes about her father and grandmother in order to teach Xiao Wei a lesson. It's just that Xiao Jinglin is also very clear about what she can and can't do as the princess of Yanbei Palace. She plays the role of princess fairly well, at least she hasn't caused any trouble.

After a sumptuous lunch, the two of them still sat on the bamboo couch under the bodhi tree, drinking tea and reading a book. Even if neither of them spoke, they didn't feel bored, they just felt peaceful and peaceful.

Ren Yaoqi originally thought it would be nice to spend a day in such a clean environment, but it was a pity that the sky was not what people wanted, and Yun Qiuchen came over in the afternoon. Besides Yun Qiuping and Yun Qiufang, Ren Yaoqi also came with Yun Qiuchen. sound.

"I just said why I didn't see you two showing up, so I'm hiding here to relax." Yun Qiuchen looked at them and said with a smile.

Xiao Jinglin waved her hand to get up the few people who saluted her, and she didn't try to argue, but just smiled slightly: "Cousin is here to see my mother?"

Leaving aside the marriage between the Yun family and Yanbei Palace, the princess has always loved Yun Qiuchen, a niece, and Yun Qiuchen would go to the palace to pay her respects from time to time. The last time Ren Yaoqi heard Xiao Jinglin call Mrs. Yun's uncle and grandmother when she went to Yun's house, she actually called from her grandmother Mrs. Yun Tai's generation.

It was only later that Ren Yaoqi learned that although Princess Yanbei was the daughter of Mrs. Yun's elder brother, she grew up with Mrs. Yun since childhood. Mrs. Yun raised her and her daughter together and raised her together. Before getting married, Princess Wang and Mrs. Yun were like mother and daughter.

Yun Qiuchen smiled and said: "We are here to greet the princess. Yaoyin said that she has not seen her fifth sister since she came, so I asked her to come with her. The princess asked us to come and ask you to go out together, don't be bored here Yes. Princess, do you want to go to Sun Yao Spring with us? There are many ladies over there."

Yun Qiufang also said: "Yes, Princess, come with us? You haven't spent much time in Yunyang City, and many people don't recognize you yet."

In fact, Xiao Jinglin really didn't want to go out, and she disliked these people for being loud and troublesome. But Yun Qiuchen said that the concubine asked them to come and call her, and she couldn't refuse.

After thinking about it, she looked at Ren Yaoqi: "Want to go for a walk?" There was helplessness in his eyes.

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "It's fine to walk."

The sisters of the Yun family were all happy when they heard the words, presumably the princess had told them to find a way to take Xiao Jinglin out when they came.

A group of people left Lanyue Pavilion, the main courtyard where only the people living in the Wangfu was relatively clean, but as soon as they left the main courtyard, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin felt the excitement of the whole garden.

The ladies in twos and threes or in groups filled the air in the villa with a lingering fragrance, and some sweet voices could be faintly heard in the ears, but it didn't seem too noisy and chaotic.

Ren Yaoyin said to Ren Yaoqi: "Third sisters and the others seem to have come out, and they should be at Riyao Spring now."

Ren Yaoqi looked around and heard that most of the people should be gathered in the southeast area, presumably the legendary Sunny Spring is near there.

Sure enough, Yun Qiuchen led them to the southeast.

Along the way, I also met some ladies, some of them knew Yun Qiuchen and came to say hello. On the contrary, Xiao Jinglin kept silent all the way, and no one had ever seen her before, so no one came to disturb her. Yun Qiuchen should be aware of Xiao Jinglin's temperament, so he couldn't introduce her.

The closer you get to Sunny Spring, the more people there are. Riyao Spring is a large warm water spring, surrounded by a lot of exotic flowers and plants, it is said that it is invincible in all seasons. The spring is surrounded by a red lacquered wooden fence, and the misty water vapor can be seen from a distance, but even though it is already summer, it does not make people feel stuffy here, only makes people feel the warm wind blowing on the face, Very soft and soft, very strange.

There are quite a few stone tables and chairs outside the fence, and the ladies are sitting or standing scattered around, and each has its own circle. The group of Xiao Jinglin still attracted many people's attention when they walked over, even though the eyes of these ladies were reserved. There were also more eyes on Xiao Jinglin. Although not many people had seen Princess Xiao, her outstanding appearance and the aura that she unconsciously carried when she was in the crowd made some A discerning person guessed a bit.

Not far away, a beautiful girl in a pink dress was leaning on the fence talking to several girls of the same age. Her clear and melodious voice like a silver bell attracted many people's attention. When she saw this side, her eyes paused, and then she immediately came up to meet her, and said pleasantly, "Sister Qiuchen, you are here, we are all waiting for you, if you don't come again, I will look for you."

Yun Qiuchen laughed when he saw her: "I don't know what the Guo family sister wants to do with me?"

Ms. Guo pouted, and said coquettishly: "Didn't Sister Qiuchen say that she would take us around? She also said that she would take us to see the peacocks that the princess raises here. Did Sister Qiuchen forget? No way! The Jiang family sister heard it too, you can't play tricks. Jiang family sister, come here quickly!"

Ms. Guo turned around and waved back as she spoke. Among the people standing with her before, a girl in a goose yellow dress hesitated for a moment, then walked out slowly, nodded and smiled towards her. , and was pulled over by Ms. Guo.

Yun Qiuchen smiled and introduced to Xiao Jinglin: "This is the eldest lady of the Guo family in Weizhou, and this one is the eighth lady of the Jiang family in Shunzhou. They went to pay my grandmother a favor, and my grandmother liked them very much, so she asked me to take them with me. They're looking around the estate."

Ms. Guo couldn't help being a little surprised to see that Yun Qiuchen deliberately introduced them to the girl beside her, but didn't immediately reveal the girl's identity.

According to the rules, when introducing strangers to each other, first introduce the low-status party to the high-status party, and then introduce the high-status party to the low-status party. RS
