Chapter 1530 General Tiger Girl 14


Chapter 1530: Tiger Girl 14

Princess Jialin said the same two polite words again and asked Zhao Yingxue to take a seat.

Zhao Yingxue saw her sitting in the back and walked over: "Third sister, why are you sitting here? You should sit in the front."

This position is biased. The legitimate daughters sit in the front row, while the concubines and the ladies whose father has a lower official position sit in this row.

Xining covered the stove and yawned: "It's quite nice here. Anyway, I just came to take a look."

After Zhao Yingxue responded, she walked to a set of tables and chairs next to her: "Move this chair back."

Yuanyang moved the chair back a step, and Zhao Yingxue sat down, meaning that she would not stand shoulder to shoulder with her legitimate daughter.

Xining glanced at it, and Princess Jialin also noticed it and looked over for a while.

Be courteous when entering and exiting, and know your identity. Even if you are a concubine, you are still the daughter of General Zhao. There are only two or three people in charge of military power in the DPRK, and General Zhao is one of them. Marrying General Zhao's concubine as a concubine was not only consistent with his status, but also able to gain support from General Zhao, so the third prince had to consider it.

It's a pity that after getting married, he found that General Zhao only guarded the frontier foolishly and loyally, and did not participate in party politics at all, let alone interfere with the prince's succession. Zhao Yingxue gradually became an abandoned son. When the Zhenguo General's Mansion collapsed, Zhao Yingxue "died" of illness along with the owner that night, leaving behind a child who was only over three years old. At this age, she was not very young. I will forget my biological mother.

It's funny to say that while Zhao Yingxue was plotting, the person she wanted to marry was also plotting against her.

How to play this time? At work, even though the owner did not marry Zhao Chengzong, he did not say that he would care about other people's marriages. So let Zhao Yingxue marry the third prince as in the previous plot, or not... Xining narrowed his eyes.

It was almost time for people to arrive, and Princess Jialin got up to change clothes. The noble ladies in the capital are very particular. Sometimes they can change several sets of clothes at a party, and they will change them according to the venue and time. At least it is a set for receiving guests and a formal start.

The Lord of Jiashun County was left sitting alone in the middle seat, and the noble ladies began to chat. Some of them smiled and flattered the Lord of Jiashun County, and especially praised the gold hairpin and peacock feather cloak she wore.

Princess Jiashun was rewarded by the Empress Dowager in the palace, and she was praised again, which made the Lord of Jiashun County lift his chin proudly.

A group of maids served tea, one by one.

Xining picked it up and tapped it lightly. I realized it wasn't tea, so I took a sip.

It was winter, and many noble ladies would take ginseng or ointment. Instead of tea, they would serve plum soup. Last year's plums are pickled and fried with water and rock sugar. They taste sour and slightly sweet. There are two freshly picked plum blossoms floating on it. After being soaked in water, the color turned into dark brown, which is special and elegant.

The candied pastries on the table are either in the shape of plum blossoms or have a sour taste.

She especially likes plum blossom cakes, which are steamed cakes shaped like plum blossoms and stuffed with jujube paste. After eating for a few bites, I realized that it was the sweetest among all the snacks, so I put it down and replaced it with a piece of crystal mung bean cake with the same plum blossom shape, and continued to watch the fun while eating.

After finishing one piece, I picked up another piece. Qiuye couldn't help but remind him: "Miss, eat less."

"Why?" Xining said nonchalantly: "It's delicious."

She hooked her fingers, and when Qiuye lowered her head, she lowered her voice in her ear: "I don't care about food. If I don't eat more, what will I do if I'm hungry?"

After noon, I have to go back in two hours at most, and I won't have dinner. But who among the ladies here would come here just to eat? Many of the snacks on the table were left untouched. At most, they took one or two candied fruits to sweeten their mouths. They ate like this there, one piece after another, which made Qiuye laugh and cry. .

Princess Jialin came out after changing into a jumper. It was a little thicker than the one just now, and the color was a little brighter. The red waistcoat was trimmed with white rabbit fur, and she looked much happier.

Seeing that Princess Jiashun was still sitting on the right seat, Princess Jialin could only sigh slightly. It was helpless to have such a royal relative. After sitting down, he smiled and said: "Seeing your lively appearance reminds me of how we could talk before I left the cabinet, and I would talk non-stop when we met. How is the food?"

So the noble ladies all said that it was delicious, the snacks were exquisite, the candied fruits were special, and the Lord of Jiashun County had taken the trouble.

Suddenly a voice came out: "The third lady of General Zhao's mansion eats a lot!"

The person who spoke was Liu Ruxu, the daughter of the Taifu.

All eyes were immediately focused on Zhao Yinghong. All four plates of dim sum on the table had been eaten, and one plate was empty. Zhao Yinghong was still holding a piece and eating it.

It was as if he had never eaten anything good... Zhao Yingxue, who was sitting at the table next to her, suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Amidst the snickering, Jiashun County Lord laughed and deliberately asked: "Miss Zhao, are the snacks delicious?"

Xining swallowed the food in his mouth, and said without changing his expression or heartbeat: "It's delicious, especially the crystal mung bean cake. The skin is semi-transparent, and you can see the filling inside, just like green plums. It's beautiful and delicious, look. It took a lot of effort to come here. My daughter didn’t dare to waste the natural resources, so I ate them all. I hope the princess won’t be blamed!”

Princess Jialin smiled and said: "How can you be surprised? Love of food is a blessing. I will ask someone to pack a box for you to take with you when you leave."

Xining quickly put down what was in his hand, stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Princess. Now my father and mother can taste such good snacks, they must be very happy."

"Okay, okay, sit down quickly. I told you that there is no need to be formal today." Princess Jialin smiled broadly, and then asked with concern: "It seems that General Zhao has returned to Beijing, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I just came home not long ago." She replied leisurely.

Princess Jialin asked again: "When will you leave this time?"

She responded: "After the New Year, I will leave after the Lantern Festival."

County Lord Jialin took a deep breath and said as if he was deeply moved: "In order to guard the border, he rushed back and forth. General Zhao really worked hard and made great achievements."

"How dare you talk about meritorious service?" Xi Ning smiled, but carefully selected his words: "What my father said most when he came was that as a military general, you should die for the country on the battlefield and return your body wrapped in horse leather. Only in this way can you do your best. It is the duty of a minister.”

"Hmm~, good!" Princess Jia Lin nodded frequently: "Come on, go wrap up the snacks and send them to General Zhenguo's Mansion now so that General Zhao and Mrs. Zhao can eat them early."

, just for a few pieces of cake, it can bring face to Zhenguo General's Mansion, that's a good deal. Naturally, he said it more pleasantly: "The General's Office has been loyal to the country for generations. There is nothing I can do, just be careful."

Xining stood up and saluted, pretending to be full of joy: "Thank you, Princess!"

Princess Jialin felt happy and smiled happily: "Why are you getting up again? Sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

The ladies next to them were really envious and jealous. The Lord of Jiashun County rolled his eyes, while Liu Ruxu, although she had a forced smile on her face, secretly twisted the ropa in her hand until it almost broke.
