On the night of New Year's Eve, a dinner party was prepared in the palace. Meng Duiwan was now the legitimate daughter of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, so naturally she had to go to the palace to attend the banquet. There were many people in the capital who had never seen the Meng family who appeared out of thin air.
As for the legitimate daughter, many people came into the palace early to wait.
Of course, there were also people who had met Meng Duiwan, and most of the comments about her were praise. After all, she saved the princess's life just after she came back, and she kept a low profile on weekdays, so she naturally won the favor of many people.
"Is it as good as you say? How good can a person who has been in the country for so many years be? She must still have the shabby taste of country people in her bones!" Naturally, some people don't believe it.
You can't just raise someone back after being pampered in a few days!"
Although what this person said is unpleasant, it is also true. The bearing of a noble girl comes from her bones. There is no daughter whose family is rich in gold and jade, but there is money piled up. A daughter who grew up in the country, no matter how delicate she is, her bones will inevitably
There is still a bit of timidity, which may not be visible on ordinary days, but once it is on a big occasion, it will be obvious.
Therefore, there are many people who are waiting to see the joke about the legitimate daughter of the Meng family. After all, few people will be happy that a noble daughter who is said to be good in everything suddenly appears in the capital, and inexplicably takes advantage of them.
Mrs. Meng went to the palace early today to reminisce with the Queen Mother. They had known each other since they were young and had a very good relationship. However, the Queen Mother was in the palace and had nothing to do on weekdays, so they would not go to the palace easily.
She stayed inside, so on days like this, Mrs. Meng would go out early just to have a few more words with the Queen Mother.
Meng Duiwan entered the palace with Mrs. Meng. Mrs. Meng was the royal wife. When she entered the palace, she had to talk to the empress. The empress was worried that Meng Duiwan would be bored staying alone with them and other women, so she let her go.
When I went out to play, I never thought that as soon as I walked to the Royal Garden, I heard someone talking about her.
Forsythia was a little annoyed, and when she was about to go forward to argue with them, she saw Chunhe rushing over in a fierce manner: "What do you people know? Apart from gossiping here, what else do you do? Wanwan is the best person in the world.
Good people, I won’t tolerate your nonsense here!”
Meng Duiwan looked at Chun He standing in the crowd, seeing her completely disregarding her identity as a princess and making a fuss with a group of people. She felt a little sad, but more moved.
Meng Duiwan originally did not want to get involved between them. After all, aristocratic families often have connections with each other. She was not familiar with anyone when she first arrived. Instead of being on guard against everyone, it would be better not to interact with them in the first place. This would be fine.
question.
It's just that she couldn't say anything and just looked at Chunhe there, quarreling with the daughters of those noble families because of her, but she hid in the corner and didn't dare to come forward, so she almost didn't hesitate and walked straight towards them.
Past: "Junhe!"
Meng Duiwan's voice was not loud, but it was very clear, so even if Chunhe was arguing with others, she could still hear her voice clearly. She turned around subconsciously, and when she saw Meng Duiwan, she immediately started laughing.
: "Wanwan!"
Chunhe stepped forward and held Meng Duiwan's hand: "When did you come? I thought you would not come to the banquet until night, but I didn't expect you were already in the palace. You all entered the palace."
Yes, why don’t you come to me?”
"Didn't I just come out of the Queen's palace? My mother was talking to the Queen. The Queen was worried that I was boring, so she just let me out for a walk. I heard you scolding others from a distance!" Meng said to
Wan glanced at the woman who was arguing with Chunhe just now, and then said calmly, "You are the princess, how can you quarrel with others casually, don't you worry about being caught?"
"I am my father's only legitimate princess. No matter what, my father will never punish me for a word or two from others. Besides, if they hadn't gossiped about you here, why would I have done so on New Year's Eve?
Are you so angry today?" Chunhe said, a little angry again.
Meng Duiwan raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked around at the people around him, and then smiled: "I do come from the countryside, and what they said is true. It's not just gossip. When I was a child, I was still farming in the mud."
The earth is a person who digs food in the soil. They grew up with fine clothes and fine food, so it’s normal for them to look down on me. You don’t have to be so angry!”
"Every individual must eat food. All food comes from the ground. I am a princess. I have been told by my education teacher since I was a child. Take it from the people and use it for the people. If we can live like this, we can live like this."
It is the hard-working people all over the world who support us. This person always forgets his roots. When his life is good, he feels that he can survive by eating the northwest wind." Chunhe snorted coldly.
Meng Duiwan just stood there. She did not have the arrogance of a wealthy noble, but she exuded a peaceful atmosphere. There was no sharpness or aggressive arrogance, she just stood so gentle and gentle.
There, but she just stood like this, which made those people speechless.
Chunhe looked around and saw that they were silent, and then sneered: "Wanwan is indeed not like you. She has been raised by nobles since she was a child, but she can't stand her natural beauty, even if she doesn't have the aristocratic look.
You are so delicate, people look at you delicately, but they are prettier than you!"
In the daughter's house, the competition is nothing more than appearance and talent. In the early years, there was a talented girl named Hao Jiaojiao who had a bad reputation but had a powerful father. She was forcibly pushed to the capital. Now she is only
I'm afraid the grass on her grave is more than two meters high.
Finally, Hao Jiaojiao is gone. These people think this way, vying for the reputation of this talented and beautiful woman to be crowned on their head. After all, their marriage will become simpler and easier in the future.
The unexpected birth of Meng Duiwan has indeed attracted the attention of many nobles, and it is rumored that her appearance is almost the same as that of the old Madam Yongchang Hou. If I had known, the old Madam Yongchang Hou would be like that back then.
But she is famously beautiful.
It is precisely because of this rumor that some good people will secretly take a look at her appearance. We also think that someone will come out to refute, but we don't want people who have seen her to praise her appearance very much.
This indeed inevitably makes those who have never met her feel dissatisfied.
Meng Duiwan looked at these people, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, but standing there was Princess Chunhe. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to argue with her, so he could only bear it in his heart.
Meng Dui took Chunhe's hand before night: "Let's go. There seems to be a plum forest in the imperial garden. I haven't seen it yet. I just heard from the palace maid that this season is in bloom. Please take me there in person, Your Highness."
Let’s take a look?”
"If you want to go and talk to me, just tell me. It's troublesome, so don't be so polite!" Chunhe took Meng Duiwan's hand, with a smile on his face, and took Meng Duiwan's hand to Meilin.
When leaving, Meng Duiwan accidentally glanced at their expressions. All of them looked not very good. Some people even had a bit of resentment in their eyes. Although Meng Duiwan didn't understand it very well, he could understand it.
Don’t ask any more questions, just follow Chunhe and leave.
"These rich people in the capital usually have nothing to do and are always fighting for the three-quarter acre of land in front of them. Suddenly a man from a good family and a good appearance comes to them. Then they have one more husband to choose from.
Naturally, they would not be happy with the possibility of their identity being snatched away." Chunhe said softly as he walked forward.
"It's not like these rich girls in the capital, they are the same no matter where they are." Meng Duiwan smiled, "But the princess should not be like this in the future. She got angry for nothing because of me.
It’s not worth it to make yourself so angry!”
"I think it's worth it. I just can't listen to them talking bad about you." Chunhe snorted, "What's more, those reputations should be yours. It's not a robbery. You're just getting your money back, so you should."
