The ladies in the hall are no strangers to the Jiang family. As the premier official family in Yanjing City, the Jiang family will never forget to invite Mrs. Jiang to entertain guests at any lady's home. Besides Yang, Ji shuran and Lu often want to see these ladies. The second room has no daughter. Jiang Youyao is the only one in the big room after Jiang Li left for eight years. Many people forget that there is also Jiang Li. They saw Jiang Youyao here more often than Jiang Li.
What impressed me most was the demeanor of Jiang Li's two successive calibrations, one for piano music and one for horse racing.
It's outsiders' impression of Jiang Li that if you don't sing, you'll have a blockbuster. However, those who didn't watch the verification were noncommittal, thinking it was just an erroneous rumor. Jiang Li was not as good as the rumor said. Therefore, the Palace Banquet has become an opportunity to confirm the rumors.
Everyone stared behind Ji shuran.
Behind the old lady, Ji shuran and Lu are in front, Yang is behind, and the girls, Jiang Youyao is in front.
Jiang Youyao has a smile on her face. She is very sweet and delicate. She looks like a young lady who lives a good life and doesn't eat human suffering. In addition, Ji shuran also strives to make Jiang Youyao look square and stable. It is necessary to know that men look at women, looking at beauty and wisdom, and women themselves. But rich people choose their daughter-in-law. In addition, it also depends on the temperament and ability of their daughter-in-law, and whether they can manage the peace of a backyard.
In particular, Zhou Yanbang attempted to repent of marriage a few days ago, which made Ji shuran angry. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Ningyuan hou to come to the door to apologize in person, and Jiang Youyao really admired Zhou Yanbang, Ji shuran would not have made the Zhou family so easy.
The more outstanding Jiang Youyao is, the more it shows that Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang are not high climbers, but more than enough.
Jiang Youyao is like a flower in full bloom. She enters the door slowly. Her appearance is extremely prosperous, which makes the Yuming hall more beautiful. Some plain ladies, looking at Jiang Youyao, couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Raised in an enviable official family, with unparalleled appearance, spoiled by family, innocent, smooth marriage, handsome and gentle husband, who is a good match, isn't everyone envious? Even if most of the young ladies present came from rich and noble families, every family has a difficult experience. Some young ladies of rich and noble families are not as beautiful as they seem, and suffer in their hearts.
Jiang Youyao had a panoramic view of the envy of everyone, and she couldn't help feeling proud, and her steps were much lighter.
Walking behind Jiang Youyao is Jiang Li.
In fact, in terms of ranking, Jiang Li should be ahead of Jiang Youyao. However, no one told Jiang Li that Jiang Youyao walked ahead of her. Jiang Li doesn't care about this. In her opinion, it doesn't matter who comes first.
The crowd looked helplessly at the flower like Jiang Youyao and came out with a girl like water.
Compared with Jiang Youyao's costumes, she really looks too light, too light. But in the light, her distinct facial features are like thick ink and heavy colors in landscape paintings, giving people infinite charm.
Miss Jiang Er walked slowly and calmly. Compared with Jiang Youyao's lightness, she looked more gentle and steady. If Jiang Youyao is a brilliant official lady in Yanjing City, this girl is more like a beautiful and smart fairy in the mountains. The former is suitable for the beautification of flowers, and the latter is suitable for the indifference that does not eat human fireworks.
Someone with sharp eyes saw that there was no jade bracelet jewelry on Jiang Li's slender wrist, but a string of black Buddha beads. The Buddha beads are warm and set off her wrists as bright as jade.
Someone remembered that Jiang Li had been in an nunnery on the mountain for eight years. Although the nunnery now knew that it was a place to hide dirt, it didn't seem to affect the lingche and Buddha nature that Jiang Li was contaminated with.
She is very "spiritual".
The corners of the girl's mouth also contain a smile, which is different from Jiang Youyao's smile. Jiang Li's smile is more like a knowing smile from the bottom of her heart. It is very peaceful and comfortable, as if there is no trouble. Let people look at it, and their hearts will follow.
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, who spoke to Ji Chen, frowned.
Since Zhou Yanbang talked about lifting the marriage with Jiang Youyao, Mrs. Hou Ningyuan had a heart attack. Although she was very friendly with Ye Zhenzhen at that time, ye Zhenzhen had died for many years. As the daughter left by Ye Zhenzhen, Jiang Li was naturally no more spoiled than Ji shuran's biological daughter. In addition, later, Jiang Li harmed Ji shuran's miscarriage and became infamous, so ye Zhenzhen stopped thinking about his in laws with Jiang jiapan.
Although the Jiang family has a large family, no one dares to ask for such a ruthless and discredited young lady.
Unexpectedly, Ji shuran took the initiative to find her.
Ji shuran seemed to know what she was thinking very well. She only said that she was also very reluctant to give up this marriage, and even more reluctant to give up her in laws like ningyuanhou. She thought about it for a while. Although Jiang Li was not good, Jiang Li was not the only daughter of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Hou Ningyuan was overjoyed. In her opinion, there was no better in laws in Yanjing than the yuan family, and Jiang Youyao was better than Jiang Li. On the one hand, she is also the legitimate daughter of Jiang Yuanbai. On the other hand, Jiang Youyao is satisfactory in both appearance, talent and temperament. Later, Zhou Yanbang also came to see it and had no objection to the marriage. Mrs. Ningyuan Hou thought that it was so settled.
Who knows, shortly after Jiang Li returned to Beijing, Zhou Yanbang suddenly put forward such a ridiculous idea.
Mrs. Hou Ningyuan was startled. Zhou Yanbang wanted to repent of marriage. Somehow, Ji shuran knew about it. For fear of Ji shuran's blame, Mrs. Hou Ningyuan had to come to the door to make amends and let Ji Chen speak tied. Zhou Yanbang has always been moved by emotion and told by reason. At least Zhou Yanbang didn't mention this bastard idea, but Ningyuan Houfu, who understands his son's temperament, knew that people knew his stomach, and Zhou Yanbang didn't stop thinking.
Angry and angry, Ningyuan Houfu was afraid of what disaster Zhou Yanbang would cause. Today's Palace Banquet, he planned to personally see what Jiang Li looked like. Mrs. Ningyuan Hou didn't go to the two calibration sessions, so she didn't know how Jiang Li was in the limelight. Even though she heard many praises from people around her on Jiang Li calibration session, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou also sniffed.
Now, she finally saw what the girl who had fascinated her son was like.
To be fair, Jiang Li's eyebrows and eyes are like Jiang Yuanbai, beautiful and clear, but the outline is like Ye Zhenzhen, which is kind of naive and sincere. However, her eyes and smile are neither as free as Jiang Yuanbai, nor as simple and lively as ye Zhenzhen.
That kind of gentleness makes people unprepared, but it also makes people feel that she seems to know everything.
Mrs. Hou Ningyuan's heart is heavy. It's not surprising that Jiang Li can hook Zhou Yanbang's heart like this.
But she can't let this happen. If Zhou Yanbang doesn't give up, Jiang Li will sooner or later become an obstacle between Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao. If the marriage doesn't work out, it's better not to have this marriage if it really works out with the Jiang family.
Mrs. Hou Ningyuan only felt headache.
People didn't know what Mrs. Hou Ningyuan was thinking, so they just looked at the girls of the yuan family. Jiang Youyao is charming and charming, and Jiang Li is pure and spiritual. Later, Jiang yu'e seems too vulgar, and Jiang Yuyan is mediocre, which does not arouse people's attention.
Therefore, the two daughters of the Jiang family's big house have their own merits, at least in appearance, which has become a deeply rooted fact.
As soon as the Jiang family members arrived, because of their identity, many people began to come over and say hello warmly. Ji shuran naturally wanted to sit with Ji Chen. Lu Shi also sat with his familiar wife. Yang Shi had no friends and no one came to compliment her, so he had to sit next to old lady Jiang, with Jiang yu'e and Jiang yu'yan. He looked quite neglected.
Jiang Li went to find catkins.
She was such a familiar friend. Liu Xu had been very upset by herself for a long time. He was overjoyed to see her coming. When Jiang Li and Mrs. Liu saw the ceremony, he took Jiang Li aside and said, "I heard that Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao have been married?"
Jiang Li was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect it to spread so quickly. She smiled and nodded.
"Nothing." Willow catkins held for a long time, but they didn't hold any comfort words. Finally, they patted her hand: "there are countless men in the capital who are better than Zhou Yanbang. The people you find in the future must be 10000 times better than Zhou Yanbang. You really lost money with Zhou Yanbang."
Jiang Li almost laughed. She was sensitive to detect that a look was looking at her. She looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. It was Shen Ruyun who stared at her.
Shen Ruyun's eyes were as mean as ever, with some pickiness, which made Jiang Li a little trance. It seemed that she followed Shen Yurong to the Shen family in Yanjing for the first time. At that time, Shen Ruyun was sitting in the room and looked at her with such eyes. At that time, Jiang Li didn't understand. Now Jiang Li understands that kind of eyes are thinking about what she can use and how much benefit she can make for the Shen family.
In fact, Shen Ruyun and Xue Fangfei were not the same at the beginning. Jiang Li remembers that before Shen Yurong became a top ranking official, Shen Ruyun, even though she was a little wrong, always had to make an appearance and affectionately called her "sister-in-law".
However, since Shen Yurong was the number one scholar, Shen Ruyun has never paid attention to himself anymore.
Seeing Jiang Li staring at Shen Ruyun, Liu Xu wondered, "what's wrong with you and her? When you weren't there before, it was Shen Ruyun who said that Jiang Youyao robbed your marriage and was with Zhou Yanbang. This was not intentional. Take you as a raft? Do you offend her?"
"I have nothing to offend her." Jiang Li shook her head. In his heart, he knew that the reason why Shen Ruyun picked up this matter was naturally because of Zhou Yanbang. Others don't know, but her sister-in-law understands that Shen Ruyun has admired Zhou Yanbang for many years. Now it's easy to have the confidence to talk about marriage with Zhou Yanbang, but Jiang Youyao took the lead. How can she not be angry?
I can't even say I hate it. If it weren't for Miss Jiang er's engagement with Zhou Yanbang at the beginning, how could miss Jiang San occupy the magpie's nest, but set Zhou Yanbang early.
Jiang Li thought to herself, wondering how Shen Ruyun looked after knowing that his sister-in-law blocked his marriage. It's funny to think of this.
Jiang Li's smile fell into Shen Ruyun's eyes, which was even more dazzling. And Shen Ruyun always felt that Jiang Li's manner was always familiar. However, Shen Ruyun was sure that it was the first time he had seen Jiang Li. This familiar feeling made Shen Ruyun not very happy. She snorted from her nose, turned her head and stopped looking at Jiang Li.
After joking for a while, there was a maid in waiting outside, and the Empress Dowager came.
Ladies got up together to welcome the Empress Dowager.
Today, the Empress Dowager is not the biological mother of emperor Hong Xiao, but a kind-hearted person. She often worships the Buddha and does meritorious deeds, and is even more indifferent to world affairs. Because of this, there was a dispute between Xia Guifei and Liu Shufei in the harem at the beginning. At that time, it was rumored that the queen had no children and the empress was not protected, but Xia Guifei was in poor health and went early. Emperor Hong Xiaodi was raised at the Empress Dowager's knees. The first emperor intended to support emperor Hong Xiaodi as the crown prince, and Liu Shufei restrained a little.
Later, the first emperor died, the queen became the empress dowager, and Princess Liu Shufei became Princess Liu. Princess Liu's son and daughter are now King Cheng and Princess Yongning. King Cheng is older than emperor Hong Xiao. At the beginning, the forces supporting King Cheng were ready to move, and Emperor Hong Xiao's throne was not secure.
This is also the reason why the people in the court are now three-thirds respectful to King Cheng.
Emperor Hong Xiaodi had no relatives to support him, only himself, but not many people supported him. It's impossible to say that one day, this throne will be handed over to others. King Cheng has more than emperor Hong Xiao.
The Empress Dowager wore a purple gold satin Palace Dress with a cloud crown. Speaking of it, the Empress Dowager is also in the year of her destiny, but probably because of proper maintenance, standing next to the queen is not much older than the queen. You can see that she was charming when she was young. She is very kind with a smile on her lips.
The Empress Dowager is followed by Princess Liu, the mother of King Cheng. Standing together, Princess Liu looks much older than the Empress Dowager. However, despite this, it did not affect Princess Liu's temperament at all. Instead, she was dressed brightly, and the pride in her eyebrows was the same as her daughter Princess Yongning.
Seeing Princess Yongning, Jiang Li's blood was cold for a moment.
Princess Yongning's gold embroidered yarn skirt shines brightly, and the thin one is the painstaking work of countless weavers. She is also charming as a flower, which is a little more charming than the charming girl Jiang Youyao. Standing in the hall, it is the posture that a proud woman should have, and there is no need to put anyone above it.
Hearing that Princess Liu was arrogant, the Empress Dowager didn't care about her. In the whole harem, Princess Liu the final say. Emperor Hong Xiao is still weak, not to mention the queen. Therefore, almost no one dares to refute what Princess Yongning said.
When the Empress Dowager saw the people get up, she smiled and said there was no need to be polite, and let everyone sit down. The womb feast will begin later.
Seeing Princess Yongning looking around, Jiang Li seemed to be looking for someone, and her heart was sneering. Princess Yongning was undoubtedly looking for Shen Yurong.
I really love Shen Yurong.
The women came early. The Palace Banquet was held in the Yuming hall. Outside the Yuming hall, there were long flower pools and pavilions. After the banquet, you can enjoy the moon and flowers, which is very elegant.
After a while, the male family members also arrived one after another.
Men and women have different seats, but they are in the same hall. Beiyan is no better than the previous dynasty. If in public, women don't have to avoid strangers. But it was a little shy after all. Some thin skinned girls turned their backs to save their shyness.
Jiang Yuanbai followed the two brothers Jiang Yuanping. Jiang Yuanxing was embarrassed because he was not very close to the two brothers.
Jiang Li saw Ye Shijie. Ye Shijie was a blockbuster and was destined to become an official soon. Some young noble children made friends with him, and many people walked beside him. Ye Shijie seemed to get along well with them.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
If Miss Jiang Er had a tough maternal ancestor, she would have to be good for her future.
Ye Shijie was elated, followed by Li Jing, the eldest young master of the right prime minister's residence, who was supposed to be the first and was dominated by Ye Shijie.
Li Jingsheng's appearance is plain. Compared with his brother Li Lian, he is really not popular with girls. But God is also very fair. Li Jing is not handsome enough, but he is very talented. Li Jing is handsome and charming, but he is an ignorant dandy.
Li Jing and Li Lian came in with Li Zhongnan, the right minister, and many brave girls also looked at the brothers.
After all, Youxiang is now more and more powerful, and can almost compete with the yuan family. If we say that the yuan family used to be the head of the literary ministers, now the position of the yuan family as the head of the literary ministers is also in jeopardy because of the growth of the right phase. Li Jing and Li Lian, the two brothers, have naturally become fragrant pastries.
Jiang Li's eyes only stayed on the two brothers of the Li family for a moment and then slipped away. For her, she didn't intend to have any contact with the Li family. Those who should remind Ye Shijie have already reminded Ye Shijie, and it seems that ye Shijie did a good job. He had no communication with Li Jing and Li Lian, and obviously listened to his reminder.
No matter what the Li family makes, ye Shijie ignores them and always wants to be safe.
The Imperial College's red list is led by Ye Shijie, followed by Li Jing, and naturally the third is Ningyuan's Prince Zhou Yanbang.
Jiang Li soon saw Zhou Yanbang.
It's not that she wants to pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, but that Zhou Yanbang's eyes at her are really undisguised and too warm. If there were not many people, I'm afraid people would see the clue. Jiang Li was a little annoyed. Zhou Yanbang was so disgusting and uncomfortable.
Others don't pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, because although Zhou Yanbang is a young talent, he has been engaged. But Ningyuan Hou Shizi and Ji shuran's mother and daughter have been paying attention to Zhou Yanbang's every move since he entered the door.
Seeing that Zhou Yanbang immediately searched for Jiang Li after entering the door, several people were anxious.
Mrs. Hou Ningyuan's brain "hummed" for a moment, and she immediately felt bad. Zhou Yanbang is so afraid of being bumped into, and his performance is too obvious. It is inevitable to provoke Jiang Youyao to block her heart, which makes Ji shuran unhappy.
Ji shuran's mother and daughter hate strangely. On the one hand, they hate Zhou Yanbang's weak nature and are easy to be led by others. On the other hand, they hate the originator Jiang Li. If Jiang Li doesn't seduce, how can Zhou Yanbang be so obsessed!
Jiang Li stood up decisively and changed position to cover Zhou Yanbang's eyes. She really doesn't want to have any ambiguous intersection with Zhou Yanbang. After the verification of mingyitang, her reputation has just improved, and she doesn't want to disappear because of Zhou Yanbang.
Zhou Yanbang was disappointed that he couldn't see Jiang Li, but he recovered in an instant. He still looked like a handsome young master and talked and laughed with people.
Jiang Li crossed the crowd and finally met Shen Yurong.
Shen Yurong is wearing official clothes today. Jiang Li has never seen such a Shen Yurong. When she and Shen Yurong were husband and wife, Shen Yurong was a warm, gentle and tolerant person. Later, after Shen's mother's birthday party, she saw Shen Yurong very few times. At that time, she was guilty, and Shen Yurong was just silent.
But now Shen Yurong is very different from that time.
He wore the official clothes of three grade courtiers, and became famous from the original white scholar. The official robe added to his body, as if this official robe also added infinite luster to him. He still looks gentle, but in his eyes, he has worldly sophistication and maturity.
Jiang Li looked at him talking with his colleagues, who were flattering, and he was high above them. For a moment, Jiang Li felt that such shenyurong was very much like Princess Yongning.
They think they are masters of people, and they don't look at people.
Jiang Li staggered her eyes again to see the other Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning did not hide her admiration for Shen Yurong, and almost moved with her follower Shen Yurong. However, it seems that falling flowers are not as affectionate as flowing water. Shen Yurong did not give Princess Yongning a look.
Jiang Li couldn't help sneering in her heart. Naturally, in full view of the public, she certainly had to cover it up. Princess Yongning has the identity of a princess, but Shen Yurong is a cautious person. He won't let anyone catch him. He is used to doing it very carefully, just like deceiving her at the beginning.
However, Xue Fangfei is dead, and Princess Yongning tries her best to make room for her original match. Why, she still can't become the Shen family wife now? In Jiang Li's heart, a flash of happiness flashed, but the happiness disappeared in an instant. To tell the truth, Jiang Li now really wants to see what happens after Princess Yongning marries the Shen family. I don't know whether everyone is happy or angry as they think.
Then Jiang Li saw the people of the Ji family, including Ji Yanlin, Ji shuran's father, and Liu Yuanfeng, Liu Xu's father. King Cheng came late. After arriving, he met the Empress Dowager.
The last one is emperor Hong Xiaodi.
This is the second time Jiang Li has seen emperor Hong Xiao in her two lives. Emperor Hong Xiao is now twenty to seven, which is a very young age for the emperor. Seven years after his accession to the throne, there has been no major unrest in the Yan Dynasty. Even so, his throne is still in jeopardy, not as stable as it seems.
Everyone in the court knows that King Cheng is the greatest threat to Emperor Hong Xiao. Seven years ago, Emperor Hong Xiaodi hastily ascended the throne, and King Cheng was defeated. In seven years, can emperor Hong Xiaodi catch up with King Cheng today?
No one knows.
A young woman stood beside emperor Hong Xiao. This woman was born very beautiful, delicate and charming, but her clothes were not gorgeous, and she could even be called simple. With a smile all the time, Liu Xu and Jiang Li bit their ears: "that's Li Bin, Jiang Youyao's aunt."
Jiang Li suddenly realized that this was Ji Yanlin's eldest daughter, Ji shuran's eldest sister, Li Bin.
The last time she followed Shen Yurong into the palace, she didn't see Li Bin, but she knew there was such a person long ago. Some people say that concubines are the first emperor's favorite woman, just like the first imperial concubine in the early summer. However, the difference between Li Bin and Xia Guifei is that there is Ji Jia behind Li Bin, but there is nothing behind Xia Guifei.
Jiang Li looked at Li Bin. Li Bin looked even younger than Ji shuran. She didn't know how to maintain herself on weekdays, like a young girl. It's very gentle and kind, and doesn't give any advice. Compared with the high princess Yongning, it's simply not more approachable. However, Jiang Li also knew that Li Bin was really as weak and indisputable as she appeared, so she would not fight a bloody way in the harem and become the favorite concubine of emperor Hong Xiao.
Those who have no ability have long become victims of the law of the jungle. How can they stand beside emperor Hong Xiao safely and pretend to be humble as a winner? It's all a show.
Li Bin said something to Hong Xiaodi, and Hong Xiaodi waved his hand. Li Bin came up to say hello to Ji Chen and Ji shuran.
Jiang Youyao took it for granted to see this aunt. All the noble women around looked at Jiang Youyao enviously. An aunt like a concubine was even more beautiful than an aunt like a queen. Although the queen gave birth to the crown prince, the crown prince was just five years old. If Li Bin also gave birth to a little prince, according to Emperor Hong Xiao's love for Li Bin, it is uncertain who will take the crown prince's position in the future.
After all, the previous dynasty did not fail to establish the crown prince.
I don't know what Ji shuran said to Li Bin. Li Bin also smiled and looked at Jiang Li. There was no special emotion at that glance, but Jiang Li was inexplicably uncomfortable.
Willow catkins asked, "don't you go to the ceremony?"
"They didn't ask me to go." Jiang Li didn't care and said, "No."
Liu Xu was stunned. After a while, Fang seemed to understand and said happily, "it's really your temperament."
Jiang Li laughed. Unlike Jiang yu'e, she needed to curry favor with Ji shuran, and unlike Jiang Youyao, she had blood ties with Li Bin. She and Li Bin are just nominal aunts. Maybe the original Miss Jiang Er met Li Bin for the first time.
After all, Li Bin is Ji shuran's sister, so she naturally wants to stand on Ji shuran's side. Being destined to be the enemy with oneself, this hostile position will not change anything because Jiang Li comes forward to see the ceremony.
Don't do unnecessary things, especially if you don't want to do it. Xue Huaiyuan said this, and Jiang Li also remembered it in his heart.
Just as emperor Hong Xiao was talking to the empress dowager, the eunuch came to report, and someone came again.
It's a brave man to come later than his majesty today. You know, people like King Cheng still follow the etiquette. Jiang Li looked up and saw a person walking slowly outside the corridor outside the palace.
The young man was wearing a scarlet gold robe, with its corners winding. The brilliance drawn under the bright lights was even more dazzling than the gemstones inlaid on the pillars of the hall.
Such complicated and gorgeous clothes, if their appearance is not prosperous enough, will be suppressed by the clothes, which will appear to be "clothes wear people". Unless they are peerless beauties, their facial features are exquisite, and they can't pick out a trace of defects, and they should be gorgeous, so they can barely match each other.
But this dress on a young man is not only barely matched, but also complements each other. Seeing him wear this dress, people can't help but sigh in their hearts. We have to admit that only he wears such clothes in the world, which is not to live up to the beautiful clothes.
Chinese clothes are brighter than gemstones, and his beauty is more ostentatious than Chinese clothes.
It is Duke Su, Ji Hong.

Miss Jiang Er walked slowly and calmly. Compared with Jiang Youyao's lightness, she looked more gentle and steady. If Jiang Youyao is a brilliant official lady in Yanjing City, this girl is more like a beautiful and smart fairy in the mountains. The former is suitable for the beautification of flowers, and the latter is suitable for the indifference that does not eat human fireworks.
Someone with sharp eyes saw that there was no jade bracelet jewelry on Jiang Li's slender wrist, but a string of black Buddha beads. The Buddha beads are warm and set off her wrists as bright as jade.
Someone remembered that Jiang Li had been in an nunnery on the mountain for eight years. Although the nunnery now knew that it was a place to hide dirt, it didn't seem to affect the lingche and Buddha nature that Jiang Li was contaminated with.
She is very "spiritual".
The corners of the girl's mouth also contain a smile, which is different from Jiang Youyao's smile. Jiang Li's smile is more like a knowing smile from the bottom of her heart. It is very peaceful and comfortable, as if there is no trouble. Let people look at it, and their hearts will follow.

Mrs. Hou Ningyuan's heart is heavy. It's not surprising that Jiang Li can hook Zhou Yanbang's heart like this.
But she can't let this happen. If Zhou Yanbang doesn't give up, Jiang Li will sooner or later become an obstacle between Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao. If the marriage doesn't work out, it's better not to have this marriage if it really works out with the Jiang family.
Mrs. Hou Ningyuan only felt headache.
People didn't know what Mrs. Hou Ningyuan was thinking, so they just looked at the girls of the yuan family. Jiang Youyao is charming and charming, and Jiang Li is pure and spiritual. Later, Jiang yu'e seems too vulgar, and Jiang Yuyan is mediocre, which does not arouse people's attention.
Therefore, the two daughters of the Jiang family's big house have their own merits, at least in appearance, which has become a deeply rooted fact.
As soon as the Jiang family members arrived, because of their identity, many people began to come over and say hello warmly. Ji shuran naturally wanted to sit with Ji Chen. Lu Shi also sat with his familiar wife. Yang Shi had no friends and no one came to compliment her, so he had to sit next to old lady Jiang, with Jiang yu'e and Jiang yu'yan. He looked quite neglected.
Jiang Li went to find catkins.
She was such a familiar friend. Liu Xu had been very upset by herself for a long time. He was overjoyed to see her coming. When Jiang Li and Mrs. Liu saw the ceremony, he took Jiang Li aside and said, "I heard that Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao have been married?"
Jiang Li was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect it to spread so quickly. She smiled and nodded.
"Nothing." Willow catkins held for a long time, but they didn't hold any comfort words. Finally, they patted her hand: "there are countless men in the capital who are better than Zhou Yanbang. The people you find in the future must be 10000 times better than Zhou Yanbang. You really lost money with Zhou Yanbang."
Jiang Li almost laughed. She was sensitive to detect that a look was looking at her. She looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. It was Shen Ruyun who stared at her.
Shen Ruyun's eyes were as mean as ever, with some pickiness, which made Jiang Li a little trance. It seemed that she followed Shen Yurong to the Shen family in Yanjing for the first time. At that time, Shen Ruyun was sitting in the room and looked at her with such eyes. At that time, Jiang Li didn't understand. Now Jiang Li understands that kind of eyes are thinking about what she can use and how much benefit she can make for the Shen family.
In fact, Shen Ruyun and Xue Fangfei were not the same at the beginning. Jiang Li remembers that before Shen Yurong became a top ranking official, Shen Ruyun, even though she was a little wrong, always had to make an appearance and affectionately called her "sister-in-law".
However, since Shen Yurong was the number one scholar, Shen Ruyun has never paid attention to himself anymore.
Seeing Jiang Li staring at Shen Ruyun, Liu Xu wondered, "what's wrong with you and her? When you weren't there before, it was Shen Ruyun who said that Jiang Youyao robbed your marriage and was with Zhou Yanbang. This was not intentional. Take you as a raft? Do you offend her?"
"I have nothing to offend her." Jiang Li shook her head. In his heart, he knew that the reason why Shen Ruyun picked up this matter was naturally because of Zhou Yanbang. Others don't know, but her sister-in-law understands that Shen Ruyun has admired Zhou Yanbang for many years. Now it's easy to have the confidence to talk about marriage with Zhou Yanbang, but Jiang Youyao took the lead. How can she not be angry?
I can't even say I hate it. If it weren't for Miss Jiang er's engagement with Zhou Yanbang at the beginning, how could miss Jiang San occupy the magpie's nest, but set Zhou Yanbang early.
Jiang Li thought to herself, wondering how Shen Ruyun looked after knowing that his sister-in-law blocked his marriage. It's funny to think of this.
Jiang Li's smile fell into Shen Ruyun's eyes, which was even more dazzling. And Shen Ruyun always felt that Jiang Li's manner was always familiar. However, Shen Ruyun was sure that it was the first time he had seen Jiang Li. This familiar feeling made Shen Ruyun not very happy. She snorted from her nose, turned her head and stopped looking at Jiang Li.
After joking for a while, there was a maid in waiting outside, and the Empress Dowager came.
Ladies got up together to welcome the Empress Dowager.
Today, the Empress Dowager is not the biological mother of emperor Hong Xiao, but a kind-hearted person. She often worships the Buddha and does meritorious deeds, and is even more indifferent to world affairs. Because of this, there was a dispute between Xia Guifei and Liu Shufei in the harem at the beginning. At that time, it was rumored that the queen had no children and the empress was not protected, but Xia Guifei was in poor health and went early. Emperor Hong Xiaodi was raised at the Empress Dowager's knees. The first emperor intended to support emperor Hong Xiaodi as the crown prince, and Liu Shufei restrained a little.
Later, the first emperor died, the queen became the empress dowager, and Princess Liu Shufei became Princess Liu. Princess Liu's son and daughter are now King Cheng and Princess Yongning. King Cheng is older than emperor Hong Xiao. At the beginning, the forces supporting King Cheng were ready to move, and Emperor Hong Xiao's throne was not secure.
This is also the reason why the people in the court are now three-thirds respectful to King Cheng.
Emperor Hong Xiaodi had no relatives to support him, only himself, but not many people supported him. It's impossible to say that one day, this throne will be handed over to others. King Cheng has more than emperor Hong Xiao.
The Empress Dowager wore a purple gold satin Palace Dress with a cloud crown. Speaking of it, the Empress Dowager is also in the year of her destiny, but probably because of proper maintenance, standing next to the queen is not much older than the queen. You can see that she was charming when she was young. She is very kind with a smile on her lips.
The Empress Dowager is followed by Princess Liu, the mother of King Cheng. Standing together, Princess Liu looks much older than the Empress Dowager. However, despite this, it did not affect Princess Liu's temperament at all. Instead, she was dressed brightly, and the pride in her eyebrows was the same as her daughter Princess Yongning.
Seeing Princess Yongning, Jiang Li's blood was cold for a moment.
Princess Yongning's gold embroidered yarn skirt shines brightly, and the thin one is the painstaking work of countless weavers. She is also charming as a flower, which is a little more charming than the charming girl Jiang Youyao. Standing in the hall, it is the posture that a proud woman should have, and there is no need to put anyone above it.
Hearing that Princess Liu was arrogant, the Empress Dowager didn't care about her. In the whole harem, Princess Liu the final say. Emperor Hong Xiao is still weak, not to mention the queen. Therefore, almost no one dares to refute what Princess Yongning said.
When the Empress Dowager saw the people get up, she smiled and said there was no need to be polite, and let everyone sit down. The womb feast will begin later.
Seeing Princess Yongning looking around, Jiang Li seemed to be looking for someone, and her heart was sneering. Princess Yongning was undoubtedly looking for Shen Yurong.
I really love Shen Yurong.
The women came early. The Palace Banquet was held in the Yuming hall. Outside the Yuming hall, there were long flower pools and pavilions. After the banquet, you can enjoy the moon and flowers, which is very elegant.
After a while, the male family members also arrived one after another.
Men and women have different seats, but they are in the same hall. Beiyan is no better than the previous dynasty. If in public, women don't have to avoid strangers. But it was a little shy after all. Some thin skinned girls turned their backs to save their shyness.
Jiang Yuanbai followed the two brothers Jiang Yuanping. Jiang Yuanxing was embarrassed because he was not very close to the two brothers.
Jiang Li saw Ye Shijie. Ye Shijie was a blockbuster and was destined to become an official soon. Some young noble children made friends with him, and many people walked beside him. Ye Shijie seemed to get along well with them.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
If Miss Jiang Er had a tough maternal ancestor, she would have to be good for her future.
Ye Shijie was elated, followed by Li Jing, the eldest young master of the right prime minister's residence, who was supposed to be the first and was dominated by Ye Shijie.
Li Jingsheng's appearance is plain. Compared with his brother Li Lian, he is really not popular with girls. But God is also very fair. Li Jing is not handsome enough, but he is very talented. Li Jing is handsome and charming, but he is an ignorant dandy.
Li Jing and Li Lian came in with Li Zhongnan, the right minister, and many brave girls also looked at the brothers.
After all, Youxiang is now more and more powerful, and can almost compete with the yuan family. If we say that the yuan family used to be the head of the literary ministers, now the position of the yuan family as the head of the literary ministers is also in jeopardy because of the growth of the right phase. Li Jing and Li Lian, the two brothers, have naturally become fragrant pastries.
Jiang Li's eyes only stayed on the two brothers of the Li family for a moment and then slipped away. For her, she didn't intend to have any contact with the Li family. Those who should remind Ye Shijie have already reminded Ye Shijie, and it seems that ye Shijie did a good job. He had no communication with Li Jing and Li Lian, and obviously listened to his reminder.
No matter what the Li family makes, ye Shijie ignores them and always wants to be safe.
The Imperial College's red list is led by Ye Shijie, followed by Li Jing, and naturally the third is Ningyuan's Prince Zhou Yanbang.
Jiang Li soon saw Zhou Yanbang.
It's not that she wants to pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, but that Zhou Yanbang's eyes at her are really undisguised and too warm. If there were not many people, I'm afraid people would see the clue. Jiang Li was a little annoyed. Zhou Yanbang was so disgusting and uncomfortable.
Others don't pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, because although Zhou Yanbang is a young talent, he has been engaged. But Ningyuan Hou Shizi and Ji shuran's mother and daughter have been paying attention to Zhou Yanbang's every move since he entered the door.
Seeing that Zhou Yanbang immediately searched for Jiang Li after entering the door, several people were anxious.
Mrs. Hou Ningyuan's brain "hummed" for a moment, and she immediately felt bad. Zhou Yanbang is so afraid of being bumped into, and his performance is too obvious. It is inevitable to provoke Jiang Youyao to block her heart, which makes Ji shuran unhappy.
Ji shuran's mother and daughter hate strangely. On the one hand, they hate Zhou Yanbang's weak nature and are easy to be led by others. On the other hand, they hate the originator Jiang Li. If Jiang Li doesn't seduce, how can Zhou Yanbang be so obsessed!
Jiang Li stood up decisively and changed position to cover Zhou Yanbang's eyes. She really doesn't want to have any ambiguous intersection with Zhou Yanbang. After the verification of mingyitang, her reputation has just improved, and she doesn't want to disappear because of Zhou Yanbang.
Zhou Yanbang was disappointed that he couldn't see Jiang Li, but he recovered in an instant. He still looked like a handsome young master and talked and laughed with people.
Jiang Li crossed the crowd and finally met Shen Yurong.
Shen Yurong is wearing official clothes today. Jiang Li has never seen such a Shen Yurong. When she and Shen Yurong were husband and wife, Shen Yurong was a warm, gentle and tolerant person. Later, after Shen's mother's birthday party, she saw Shen Yurong very few times. At that time, she was guilty, and Shen Yurong was just silent.
But now Shen Yurong is very different from that time.
He wore the official clothes of three grade courtiers, and became famous from the original white scholar. The official robe added to his body, as if this official robe also added infinite luster to him. He still looks gentle, but in his eyes, he has worldly sophistication and maturity.
Jiang Li looked at him talking with his colleagues, who were flattering, and he was high above them. For a moment, Jiang Li felt that such shenyurong was very much like Princess Yongning.
They think they are masters of people, and they don't look at people.
Jiang Li staggered her eyes again to see the other Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning did not hide her admiration for Shen Yurong, and almost moved with her follower Shen Yurong. However, it seems that falling flowers are not as affectionate as flowing water. Shen Yurong did not give Princess Yongning a look.
Jiang Li couldn't help sneering in her heart. Naturally, in full view of the public, she certainly had to cover it up. Princess Yongning has the identity of a princess, but Shen Yurong is a cautious person. He won't let anyone catch him. He is used to doing it very carefully, just like deceiving her at the beginning.
However, Xue Fangfei is dead, and Princess Yongning tries her best to make room for her original match. Why, she still can't become the Shen family wife now? In Jiang Li's heart, a flash of happiness flashed, but the happiness disappeared in an instant. To tell the truth, Jiang Li now really wants to see what happens after Princess Yongning marries the Shen family. I don't know whether everyone is happy or angry as they think.
Then Jiang Li saw the people of the Ji family, including Ji Yanlin, Ji shuran's father, and Liu Yuanfeng, Liu Xu's father. King Cheng came late. After arriving, he met the Empress Dowager.
The last one is emperor Hong Xiaodi.
This is the second time Jiang Li has seen emperor Hong Xiao in her two lives. Emperor Hong Xiao is now twenty to seven, which is a very young age for the emperor. Seven years after his accession to the throne, there has been no major unrest in the Yan Dynasty. Even so, his throne is still in jeopardy, not as stable as it seems.
Everyone in the court knows that King Cheng is the greatest threat to Emperor Hong Xiao. Seven years ago, Emperor Hong Xiaodi hastily ascended the throne, and King Cheng was defeated. In seven years, can emperor Hong Xiaodi catch up with King Cheng today?
No one knows.
A young woman stood beside emperor Hong Xiao. This woman was born very beautiful, delicate and charming, but her clothes were not gorgeous, and she could even be called simple. With a smile all the time, Liu Xu and Jiang Li bit their ears: "that's Li Bin, Jiang Youyao's aunt."
Jiang Li suddenly realized that this was Ji Yanlin's eldest daughter, Ji shuran's eldest sister, Li Bin.
The last time she followed Shen Yurong into the palace, she didn't see Li Bin, but she knew there was such a person long ago. Some people say that concubines are the first emperor's favorite woman, just like the first imperial concubine in the early summer. However, the difference between Li Bin and Xia Guifei is that there is Ji Jia behind Li Bin, but there is nothing behind Xia Guifei.
Jiang Li looked at Li Bin. Li Bin looked even younger than Ji shuran. She didn't know how to maintain herself on weekdays, like a young girl. It's very gentle and kind, and doesn't give any advice. Compared with the high princess Yongning, it's simply not more approachable. However, Jiang Li also knew that Li Bin was really as weak and indisputable as she appeared, so she would not fight a bloody way in the harem and become the favorite concubine of emperor Hong Xiao.
Those who have no ability have long become victims of the law of the jungle. How can they stand beside emperor Hong Xiao safely and pretend to be humble as a winner? It's all a show.
Li Bin said something to Hong Xiaodi, and Hong Xiaodi waved his hand. Li Bin came up to say hello to Ji Chen and Ji shuran.
Jiang Youyao took it for granted to see this aunt. All the noble women around looked at Jiang Youyao enviously. An aunt like a concubine was even more beautiful than an aunt like a queen. Although the queen gave birth to the crown prince, the crown prince was just five years old. If Li Bin also gave birth to a little prince, according to Emperor Hong Xiao's love for Li Bin, it is uncertain who will take the crown prince's position in the future.
After all, the previous dynasty did not fail to establish the crown prince.
I don't know what Ji shuran said to Li Bin. Li Bin also smiled and looked at Jiang Li. There was no special emotion at that glance, but Jiang Li was inexplicably uncomfortable.
Willow catkins asked, "don't you go to the ceremony?"
"They didn't ask me to go." Jiang Li didn't care and said, "No."
Liu Xu was stunned. After a while, Fang seemed to understand and said happily, "it's really your temperament."
Jiang Li laughed. Unlike Jiang yu'e, she needed to curry favor with Ji shuran, and unlike Jiang Youyao, she had blood ties with Li Bin. She and Li Bin are just nominal aunts. Maybe the original Miss Jiang Er met Li Bin for the first time.
After all, Li Bin is Ji shuran's sister, so she naturally wants to stand on Ji shuran's side. Being destined to be the enemy with oneself, this hostile position will not change anything because Jiang Li comes forward to see the ceremony.
Don't do unnecessary things, especially if you don't want to do it. Xue Huaiyuan said this, and Jiang Li also remembered it in his heart.
Just as emperor Hong Xiao was talking to the empress dowager, the eunuch came to report, and someone came again.
It's a brave man to come later than his majesty today. You know, people like King Cheng still follow the etiquette. Jiang Li looked up and saw a person walking slowly outside the corridor outside the palace.
The young man was wearing a scarlet gold robe, with its corners winding. The brilliance drawn under the bright lights was even more dazzling than the gemstones inlaid on the pillars of the hall.
Such complicated and gorgeous clothes, if their appearance is not prosperous enough, will be suppressed by the clothes, which will appear to be "clothes wear people". Unless they are peerless beauties, their facial features are exquisite, and they can't pick out a trace of defects, and they should be gorgeous, so they can barely match each other.
But this dress on a young man is not only barely matched, but also complements each other. Seeing him wear this dress, people can't help but sigh in their hearts. We have to admit that only he wears such clothes in the world, which is not to live up to the beautiful clothes.
Chinese clothes are brighter than gemstones, and his beauty is more ostentatious than Chinese clothes.
It is Duke Su, Ji Hong.

The Duke of the country has come to rely on the United States to commit murder again~
The ladies in the hall are no strangers to the Jiang family. As the premier official family in Yanjing City, the Jiang family will never forget to invite Mrs. Jiang to entertain guests at any lady's home. Besides Yang, Ji shuran and Lu often want to see these ladies. The second room has no daughter. Jiang Youyao is the only one in the big room after Jiang Li left for eight years. Many people forget that there is also Jiang Li. They saw Jiang Youyao here more often than Jiang Li.What impressed me most was the demeanor of Jiang Li's two successive calibrations, one for piano music and one for horse racing.It's outsiders' impression of Jiang Li that if you don't sing, you'll have a blockbuster. However, those who didn't watch the verification were noncommittal, thinking it was just an erroneous rumor. Jiang Li was not as good as the rumor said. Therefore, the Palace Banquet has become an opportunity to confirm the rumors.Everyone stared behind Ji shuran.Behind the old lady, Ji shuran and Lu are in front, Yang is behind, and the girls, Jiang Youyao is in front.Jiang Youyao has a smile on her face. She is very sweet and delicate. She looks like a young lady who lives a good life and doesn't eat human suffering. In addition, Ji shuran also strives to make Jiang Youyao look square and stable. It is necessary to know that men look at women, looking at beauty and wisdom, and women themselves. But rich people choose their daughter-in-law. In addition, it also depends on the temperament and ability of their daughter-in-law, and whether they can manage the peace of a backyard.In particular, Zhou Yanbang attempted to repent of marriage a few days ago, which made Ji shuran angry. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Ningyuan hou to come to the door to apologize in person, and Jiang Youyao really admired Zhou Yanbang, Ji shuran would not have made the Zhou family so easy.The more outstanding Jiang Youyao is, the more it shows that Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang are not high climbers, but more than enough.Jiang Youyao is like a flower in full bloom. She enters the door slowly. Her appearance is extremely prosperous, which makes the Yuming hall more beautiful. Some plain ladies, looking at Jiang Youyao, couldn't help feeling ashamed.Raised in an enviable official family, with unparalleled appearance, spoiled by family, innocent, smooth marriage, handsome and gentle husband, who is a good match, isn't everyone envious? Even if most of the young ladies present came from rich and noble families, every family has a difficult experience. Some young ladies of rich and noble families are not as beautiful as they seem, and suffer in their hearts.Jiang Youyao had a panoramic view of the envy of everyone, and she couldn't help feeling proud, and her steps were much lighter.Walking behind Jiang Youyao is Jiang Li.In fact, in terms of ranking, Jiang Li should be ahead of Jiang Youyao. However, no one told Jiang Li that Jiang Youyao walked ahead of her. Jiang Li doesn't care about this. In her opinion, it doesn't matter who comes first.The crowd looked helplessly at the flower like Jiang Youyao and came out with a girl like water.Compared with Jiang Youyao's costumes, she really looks too light, too light. But in the light, her distinct facial features are like thick ink and heavy colors in landscape paintings, giving people infinite charm.Miss Jiang Er walked slowly and calmly. Compared with Jiang Youyao's lightness, she looked more gentle and steady. If Jiang Youyao is a brilliant official lady in Yanjing City, this girl is more like a beautiful and smart fairy in the mountains. The former is suitable for the beautification of flowers, and the latter is suitable for the indifference that does not eat human fireworks.Someone with sharp eyes saw that there was no jade bracelet jewelry on Jiang Li's slender wrist, but a string of black Buddha beads. The Buddha beads are warm and set off her wrists as bright as jade.Someone remembered that Jiang Li had been in an nunnery on the mountain for eight years. Although the nunnery now knew that it was a place to hide dirt, it didn't seem to affect the lingche and Buddha nature that Jiang Li was contaminated with.She is very "spiritual".The corners of the girl's mouth also contain a smile, which is different from Jiang Youyao's smile. Jiang Li's smile is more like a knowing smile from the bottom of her heart. It is very peaceful and comfortable, as if there is no trouble. Let people look at it, and their hearts will follow.Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, who spoke to Ji Chen, frowned.Since Zhou Yanbang talked about lifting the marriage with Jiang Youyao, Mrs. Hou Ningyuan had a heart attack. Although she was very friendly with Ye Zhenzhen at that time, ye Zhenzhen had died for many years. As the daughter left by Ye Zhenzhen, Jiang Li was naturally no more spoiled than Ji shuran's biological daughter. In addition, later, Jiang Li harmed Ji shuran's miscarriage and became infamous, so ye Zhenzhen stopped thinking about his in laws with Jiang jiapan.Although the Jiang family has a large family, no one dares to ask for such a ruthless and discredited young lady.Unexpectedly, Ji shuran took the initiative to find her.Ji shuran seemed to know what she was thinking very well. She only said that she was also very reluctant to give up this marriage, and even more reluctant to give up her in laws like ningyuanhou. She thought about it for a while. Although Jiang Li was not good, Jiang Li was not the only daughter of the Jiang family.Mrs. Hou Ningyuan was overjoyed. In her opinion, there was no better in laws in Yanjing than the yuan family, and Jiang Youyao was better than Jiang Li. On the one hand, she is also the legitimate daughter of Jiang Yuanbai. On the other hand, Jiang Youyao is satisfactory in both appearance, talent and temperament. Later, Zhou Yanbang also came to see it and had no objection to the marriage. Mrs. Ningyuan Hou thought that it was so settled.Who knows, shortly after Jiang Li returned to Beijing, Zhou Yanbang suddenly put forward such a ridiculous idea.Mrs. Hou Ningyuan was startled. Zhou Yanbang wanted to repent of marriage. Somehow, Ji shuran knew about it. For fear of Ji shuran's blame, Mrs. Hou Ningyuan had to come to the door to make amends and let Ji Chen speak tied. Zhou Yanbang has always been moved by emotion and told by reason. At least Zhou Yanbang didn't mention this bastard idea, but Ningyuan Houfu, who understands his son's temperament, knew that people knew his stomach, and Zhou Yanbang didn't stop thinking.Angry and angry, Ningyuan Houfu was afraid of what disaster Zhou Yanbang would cause. Today's Palace Banquet, he planned to personally see what Jiang Li looked like. Mrs. Ningyuan Hou didn't go to the two calibration sessions, so she didn't know how Jiang Li was in the limelight. Even though she heard many praises from people around her on Jiang Li calibration session, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou also sniffed.Now, she finally saw what the girl who had fascinated her son was like.To be fair, Jiang Li's eyebrows and eyes are like Jiang Yuanbai, beautiful and clear, but the outline is like Ye Zhenzhen, which is kind of naive and sincere. However, her eyes and smile are neither as free as Jiang Yuanbai, nor as simple and lively as ye Zhenzhen.That kind of gentleness makes people unprepared, but it also makes people feel that she seems to know everything.Mrs. Hou Ningyuan's heart is heavy. It's not surprising that Jiang Li can hook Zhou Yanbang's heart like this.But she can't let this happen. If Zhou Yanbang doesn't give up, Jiang Li will sooner or later become an obstacle between Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao. If the marriage doesn't work out, it's better not to have this marriage if it really works out with the Jiang family.Mrs. Hou Ningyuan only felt headache.People didn't know what Mrs. Hou Ningyuan was thinking, so they just looked at the girls of the yuan family. Jiang Youyao is charming and charming, and Jiang Li is pure and spiritual. Later, Jiang yu'e seems too vulgar, and Jiang Yuyan is mediocre, which does not arouse people's attention.Therefore, the two daughters of the Jiang family's big house have their own merits, at least in appearance, which has become a deeply rooted fact.As soon as the Jiang family members arrived, because of their identity, many people began to come over and say hello warmly. Ji shuran naturally wanted to sit with Ji Chen. Lu Shi also sat with his familiar wife. Yang Shi had no friends and no one came to compliment her, so he had to sit next to old lady Jiang, with Jiang yu'e and Jiang yu'yan. He looked quite neglected.Jiang Li went to find catkins.She was such a familiar friend. Liu Xu had been very upset by herself for a long time. He was overjoyed to see her coming. When Jiang Li and Mrs. Liu saw the ceremony, he took Jiang Li aside and said, "I heard that Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao have been married?"Jiang Li was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect it to spread so quickly. She smiled and nodded."Nothing." Willow catkins held for a long time, but they didn't hold any comfort words. Finally, they patted her hand: "there are countless men in the capital who are better than Zhou Yanbang. The people you find in the future must be 10000 times better than Zhou Yanbang. You really lost money with Zhou Yanbang."Jiang Li almost laughed. She was sensitive to detect that a look was looking at her. She looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. It was Shen Ruyun who stared at her.Shen Ruyun's eyes were as mean as ever, with some pickiness, which made Jiang Li a little trance. It seemed that she followed Shen Yurong to the Shen family in Yanjing for the first time. At that time, Shen Ruyun was sitting in the room and looked at her with such eyes. At that time, Jiang Li didn't understand. Now Jiang Li understands that kind of eyes are thinking about what she can use and how much benefit she can make for the Shen family.In fact, Shen Ruyun and Xue Fangfei were not the same at the beginning. Jiang Li remembers that before Shen Yurong became a top ranking official, Shen Ruyun, even though she was a little wrong, always had to make an appearance and affectionately called her "sister-in-law".However, since Shen Yurong was the number one scholar, Shen Ruyun has never paid attention to himself anymore.Seeing Jiang Li staring at Shen Ruyun, Liu Xu wondered, "what's wrong with you and her? When you weren't there before, it was Shen Ruyun who said that Jiang Youyao robbed your marriage and was with Zhou Yanbang. This was not intentional. Take you as a raft? Do you offend her?""I have nothing to offend her." Jiang Li shook her head. In his heart, he knew that the reason why Shen Ruyun picked up this matter was naturally because of Zhou Yanbang. Others don't know, but her sister-in-law understands that Shen Ruyun has admired Zhou Yanbang for many years. Now it's easy to have the confidence to talk about marriage with Zhou Yanbang, but Jiang Youyao took the lead. How can she not be angry?I can't even say I hate it. If it weren't for Miss Jiang er's engagement with Zhou Yanbang at the beginning, how could miss Jiang San occupy the magpie's nest, but set Zhou Yanbang early.Jiang Li thought to herself, wondering how Shen Ruyun looked after knowing that his sister-in-law blocked his marriage. It's funny to think of this.Jiang Li's smile fell into Shen Ruyun's eyes, which was even more dazzling. And Shen Ruyun always felt that Jiang Li's manner was always familiar. However, Shen Ruyun was sure that it was the first time he had seen Jiang Li. This familiar feeling made Shen Ruyun not very happy.

Princess Yongning was undoubtedly looking for Shen Yurong.I really love Shen Yurong.The women came early. The Palace Banquet was held in the Yuming hall. Outside the Yuming hall, there were long flower pools and pavilions. After the banquet, you can enjoy the moon and flowers, which is very elegant.After a while, the male family members also arrived one after another.Men and women have different seats, but they are in the same hall. Beiyan is no better than the previous dynasty. If in public, women don't have to avoid strangers. But it was a little shy after all. Some thin skinned girls turned their backs to save their shyness.Jiang Yuanbai followed the two brothers Jiang Yuanping. Jiang Yuanxing was embarrassed because he was not very close to the two brothers.Jiang Li saw Ye Shijie. Ye Shijie was a blockbuster and was destined to become an official soon. Some young noble children made friends with him, and many people walked beside him. Ye Shijie seemed to get along well with them.Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.If Miss Jiang Er had a tough maternal ancestor, she would have to be good for her future.Ye Shijie was elated, followed by Li Jing, the eldest young master of the right prime minister's residence, who was supposed to be the first and was dominated by Ye Shijie.Li Jingsheng's appearance is plain. Compared with his brother Li Lian, he is really not popular with girls. But God is also very fair. Li Jing is not handsome enough, but he is very talented. Li Jing is handsome and charming, but he is an ignorant dandy.Li Jing and Li Lian came in with Li Zhongnan, the right minister, and many brave girls also looked at the brothers.After all, Youxiang is now more and more powerful, and can almost compete with the yuan family. If we say that the yuan family used to be the head of the literary ministers, now the position of the yuan family as the head of the literary ministers is also in jeopardy because of the growth of the right phase. Li Jing and Li Lian, the two brothers, have naturally become fragrant pastries.Jiang Li's eyes only stayed on the two brothers of the Li family for a moment and then slipped away. For her, she didn't intend to have any contact with the Li family. Those who should remind Ye Shijie have already reminded Ye Shijie, and it seems that ye Shijie did a good job. He had no communication with Li Jing and Li Lian, and obviously listened to his reminder.No matter what the Li family makes, ye Shijie ignores them and always wants to be safe.The Imperial College's red list is led by Ye Shijie, followed by Li Jing, and naturally the third is Ningyuan's Prince Zhou Yanbang.Jiang Li soon saw Zhou Yanbang.It's not that she wants to pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, but that Zhou Yanbang's eyes at her are really undisguised and too warm. If there were not many people, I'm afraid people would see the clue. Jiang Li was a little annoyed. Zhou Yanbang was so disgusting and uncomfortable.Others don't pay attention to Zhou Yanbang, because although Zhou Yanbang is a young talent, he has been engaged. But Ningyuan Hou Shizi and Ji shuran's mother and daughter have been paying attention to Zhou Yanbang's every move since he entered the door.Seeing that Zhou Yanbang immediately searched for Jiang Li after entering the door, several people were anxious.Mrs. Hou Ningyuan's brain "hummed" for a moment, and she immediately felt bad. Zhou Yanbang is so afraid of being bumped into, and his performance is too obvious. It is inevitable to provoke Jiang Youyao to block her heart, which makes Ji shuran unhappy.Ji shuran's mother and daughter hate strangely. On the one hand, they hate Zhou Yanbang's weak nature and are easy to be led by others. On the other hand, they hate the originator Jiang Li. If Jiang Li doesn't seduce, how can Zhou Yanbang be so obsessed!Jiang Li stood up decisively and changed position to cover Zhou Yanbang's eyes. She really doesn't want to have any ambiguous intersection with Zhou Yanbang. After the verification of mingyitang, her reputation has just improved, and she doesn't want to disappear because of Zhou Yanbang.Zhou Yanbang was disappointed that he couldn't see Jiang Li, but he recovered in an instant. He still looked like a handsome young master and talked and laughed with people.Jiang Li crossed the crowd and finally met Shen Yurong.Shen Yurong is wearing official clothes today. Jiang Li has never seen such a Shen Yurong. When she and Shen Yurong were husband and wife, Shen Yurong was a warm, gentle and tolerant person. Later, after Shen's mother's birthday party, she saw Shen Yurong very few times. At that time, she was guilty, and Shen Yurong was just silent.But now Shen Yurong is very different from that time.He wore the official clothes of three grade courtiers, and became famous from the original white scholar. The official robe added to his body, as if this official robe also added infinite luster to him. He still looks gentle, but in his eyes, he has worldly sophistication and maturity.Jiang Li looked at him talking with his colleagues, who were flattering, and he was high above them. For a moment, Jiang Li felt that such shenyurong was very much like Princess Yongning.They think they are masters of people, and they don't look at people.Jiang Li staggered her eyes again to see the other Princess Yongning.Princess Yongning did not hide her admiration for Shen Yurong, and almost moved with her follower Shen Yurong. However, it seems that falling flowers are not as affectionate as flowing water. Shen Yurong did not give Princess Yongning a look.Jiang Li couldn't help sneering in her heart. Naturally, in full view of the public, she certainly had to cover it up. Princess Yongning has the identity of a princess, but Shen Yurong is a cautious person. He won't let anyone catch him. He is used to doing it very carefully, just like deceiving her at the beginning.However, Xue Fangfei is dead, and Princess Yongning tries her best to make room for her original match. Why, she still can't become the Shen family wife now? In Jiang Li's heart, a flash of happiness flashed, but the happiness disappeared in an instant. To tell the truth, Jiang Li now really wants to see what happens after Princess Yongning marries the Shen family. I don't know whether everyone is happy or angry as they think.Then Jiang Li saw the people of the Ji family, including Ji Yanlin, Ji shuran's father, and Liu Yuanfeng, Liu Xu's father. King Cheng came late. After arriving, he met the Empress Dowager.The last one is emperor Hong Xiaodi.This is the second time Jiang Li has seen emperor Hong Xiao in her two lives. Emperor Hong Xiao is now twenty to seven, which is a very young age for the emperor. Seven years after his accession to the throne, there has been no major unrest in the Yan Dynasty. Even so, his throne is still in jeopardy, not as stable as it seems.Everyone in the court knows that King Cheng is the greatest threat to Emperor Hong Xiao. Seven years ago, Emperor Hong Xiaodi hastily ascended the throne, and King Cheng was defeated. In seven years, can emperor Hong Xiaodi catch up with King Cheng today?No one knows.A young woman stood beside emperor Hong Xiao. This woman was born very beautiful, delicate and charming, but her clothes were not gorgeous, and she could even be called simple. With a smile all the time, Liu Xu and Jiang Li bit their ears: "that's Li Bin, Jiang Youyao's aunt."Jiang Li suddenly realized that this was Ji Yanlin's eldest daughter, Ji shuran's eldest sister, Li Bin.The last time she followed Shen Yurong into the palace, she didn't see Li Bin, but she knew there was such a person long ago. Some people say that concubines are the first emperor's favorite woman, just like the first imperial concubine in the early summer. However, the difference between Li Bin and Xia Guifei is that there is Ji Jia behind Li Bin, but there is nothing behind Xia Guifei.Jiang Li looked at Li Bin. Li Bin looked even younger than Ji shuran. She didn't know how to maintain herself on weekdays, like a young girl. It's very gentle and kind, and doesn't give any advice. Compared with the high princess Yongning, it's simply not more approachable. However, Jiang Li also knew that Li Bin was really as weak and indisputable as she appeared, so she would not fight a bloody way in the harem and become the favorite concubine of emperor Hong Xiao.Those who have no ability have long become victims of the law of the jungle. How can they stand beside emperor Hong Xiao safely and pretend to be humble as a winner? It's all a show.Li Bin said something to Hong Xiaodi, and Hong Xiaodi waved his hand. Li Bin came up to say hello to Ji Chen and Ji shuran.Jiang Youyao took it for granted to see this aunt. All the noble women around looked at Jiang Youyao enviously. An aunt like a concubine was even more beautiful than an aunt like a queen. Although the queen gave birth to the crown prince, the crown prince was just five years old. If Li Bin also gave birth to a little prince, according to Emperor Hong Xiao's love for Li Bin, it is uncertain who will take the crown prince's position in the future.After all, the previous dynasty did not fail to establish the crown prince.I don't know what Ji shuran said to Li Bin. Li Bin also smiled and looked at Jiang Li. There was no special emotion at that glance, but Jiang Li was inexplicably uncomfortable.Willow catkins asked, "don't you go to the ceremony?""They didn't ask me to go." Jiang Li didn't care and said, "No."Liu Xu was stunned. After a while, Fang seemed to understand and said happily, "it's really your temperament."Jiang Li laughed. Unlike Jiang yu'e, she needed to curry favor with Ji shuran, and unlike Jiang Youyao, she had blood ties with Li Bin. She and Li Bin are just nominal aunts. Maybe the original Miss Jiang Er met Li Bin for the first time.After all, Li Bin is Ji shuran's sister, so she naturally wants to stand on Ji shuran's side. Being destined to be the enemy with oneself, this hostile position will not change anything because Jiang Li comes forward to see the ceremony.Don't do unnecessary things, especially if you don't want to do it. Xue Huaiyuan said this, and Jiang Li also remembered it in his heart.Just as emperor Hong Xiao was talking to the empress dowager, the eunuch came to report, and someone came again.It's a brave man to come later than his majesty today. You know, people like King Cheng still follow the etiquette. Jiang Li looked up and saw a person walking slowly outside the corridor outside the palace.The young man was wearing a scarlet gold robe, with its corners winding. The brilliance drawn under the bright lights was even more dazzling than the gemstones inlaid on the pillars of the hall.Such complicated and gorgeous clothes, if their appearance is not prosperous enough, will be suppressed by the clothes, which will appear to be "clothes wear people". Unless they are peerless beauties, their facial features are exquisite, and they can't pick out a trace of defects, and they should be gorgeous, so they can barely match each other.But this dress on a young man is not only barely matched, but also complements each other. Seeing him wear this dress, people can't help but sigh in their hearts. We have to admit that only he wears such clothes in the world, which is not to live up to the beautiful clothes.Chinese clothes are brighter than gemstones, and his beauty is more ostentatious than Chinese clothes.It is Duke Su, Ji Hong.The Duke of the country has come to rely on the United States to commit murder again~
