That day, as soon as Jiang Fang got up, Li Chun hurried over and said to Jiang Fang: "Princess, you came back with your consort yesterday, and I forgot to tell you about the Qiao Qiao Festival. I deserve to die."
Jiang Fang said quickly: "Get up first and talk. What is going on?"
Li Chun then took out an invitation from her arms: "This is an invitation from the Yan family. Two days before the Qiqiao Festival every year, the Yan family will prepare some banquets for the ladies in the family house.
It was supposed to be Mrs. Yan who was in charge of it, but the young lady of the Yan Mansion was now pregnant, and her body could not tolerate any loss. Mrs. Yan was afraid of the noise at home.
Not only did Miss Leng return to Beijing, so the banquet was left to the old lady of the Leng family. I should have reported it to the princess yesterday, but look at my memory."
Jiang Fang thought for a while and asked: "This Qiao Qiao Festival is supposed to be a time for women to gather together to show off their embroidery skills, but I really don't know anything about embroidery."
At this time, Banxia said: "I heard that at the banquet held every year by the Yan family, some outstanding ladies are selected to choose wives for the princes and nobles.
Princess, you are only going as a status symbol. They will never let you go up to show off your talents. It is just a status symbol. If you don't go, you will be laughed at."
Jiang Fang knew that she couldn't avoid it, but she really didn't like the banquet where a group of women gathered together. With three women in one show, the show would probably be very lively.
"What day is it?"
Li Chun said quickly: "Today is the day to go back to the princess."
Jiang Fang frowned, looked at the scene outside, and asked: "Then I'm going to be late? If I'm already late, then find a reason to refuse."
Li Chun said: "Princess, the time on the invitation is in the afternoon. It's time for you to get up and dress up. You can still make it in time."
Jiang Fang's struggle was ineffective, so he got up obediently, letting Qiu Sang wash and dress him up, while asking Dong Kui to get some more food.
Dong Kui placed the snacks on the table one by one, and then asked: "Princess, you have eaten so much now, can you still eat it when you go to Leng's house?"
Jiang Fang said while eating: "Don't you understand this? Those ladies gather together, who would only focus on eating, most of them are looking for a good match.
If they don't eat, how can I eat alone? I am a princess, so I can't let the royal family lose face, right? Now that I'm full, I won't be able to bear the hunger for a while."
Qiu Sang briefly washed Jiang Fang, but when she looked at the red spots on Jiang Fang's face, she felt a little embarrassed. Although the red spots had faded a lot now, they were still a bit obvious.
If you use powder to cover it, not only will it leave a faint mark, but it will also appear to be more obvious, making the red spots on the face more prominent.
But a few days ago, Qiu Sang clearly saw that Jiang Fang had used some method to completely cover the red spots on his face. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qiu Sang would have thought that the red spots suddenly healed.
Jiang Fang quickly waved his hands and said, "That's it, that's it. Just keep your clothes plain. I don't want to be so ostentatious and gossip."
Jiang Fang knew that she was not the protagonist this time, and she didn't care what the banquet was for. It was just that Ban Xia had said it was for the party, and she would be laughed at if she didn't go.
It was just a banquet, and suddenly I felt like I was feeling the trend, but I just had to sit there quietly and watch them, and it wasn't that embarrassing.
But this time I am not the protagonist, so there is no need to dress up to stand out. After all, I am now a married woman. If I dress up to attend, I am afraid I will be said to be cheating.
Jiang Fang simply tidied up and grabbed a small snack before going out. After getting on the sedan, Jiang Fang fell asleep.
After arriving at Leng Mansion, as soon as Jiang Fang got out of the sedan chair, he saw the word "Leng Mansion" with dragons and phoenixes dancing in it. It was really written in one go, free and easy.
After entering the door, a maid came up to guide the way. After passing through the rockery, they saw the huge back garden of Leng Mansion. Even though it was already late autumn, the flowers inside were in full bloom.
As Jiang Fang walked along the path in the garden, he hesitated in his heart. There must be many young ladies from wealthy families here, and a greeting would be inevitable.
Jiang Fang sighed in his heart, and then a familiar voice sounded in Jiang Fang's ears: "A Fang, are you here?"
After Jiang Fang left Langtou Village, it had been a long time since he heard anyone call him Ah Fang. This sound of Ah Fang made Jiang Fang lose his mind.
Seeing Jiang Fang didn't speak, Leng Ningshuang thought she had said the wrong thing and said quickly: "I'm sorry, third princess, I'm rude."
Jiang Fang quickly held her hand and said, "No, it's just that no one has called me Ah Fang for a long time, and I miss it a bit."
Leng Ningshuang changed into the dress worn by her daughter today. The long blue dress actually gave her a feeling of alienation.
When I saw Leng Ningshuang that day, she was wearing a red and black robe and looked very capable, but now this dress looks a bit more feminine.
Leng Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Fang said this, and said, "I thought you didn't like me calling you that, so how about I call you A Fang from now on?"
Jiang Fang smiled and nodded: "Okay."
After seeing the red spot on Jiang Fang's face, Leng Ningshuang was a little surprised at first. Although she knew that Jiang Fang had a red spot on his face, she didn't expect it to be so big.
The first time she met Jiang Fang, her face was covered with something, but this time, so many ladies gathered together.
However, she applied a little makeup and openly exposed the red spots on her face. There was not a trace of timidity on her face, nor did she cover it up on purpose.
This kind of Jiang Fang seems to be a little more magnanimous. Even though there are such big red spots on his face, they are not offensive.
Leng Ningshuang took Jiang Fang to the table. Jiang Fang expected that there were so many people, but that there would be men here was something Jiang Fang did not expect.
Leng Ningshuang saw Jiang Fang frowning, so she explained: "This Qiao Qiao Festival is said to be an exchange of skills among female celebrities, but in fact, it gradually became like this later.
Those highly respected ladies held this banquet, invited the ladies from the famous aristocrats in the capital to attend, and then invited the princes and nobles to join in the appreciation.
In fact, it is a disguised form of giving the princes and nobles a chance to choose their future wives, so look at these ladies, they work very hard to dress up."
There was a trace of ridicule in Leng Ningshuang's eyes, but she didn't say anything. When Jiang Fang saw Xiao Boyuan opposite, there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes.
