When Tang Ji and Li Yu returned to the palace, they heard that Jiang Ran and Song Yao had already set off. They wanted to change their clothes and leave. Unexpectedly, the palace happened to send the reward promised to Tang Ji during the day.
, it took a lot of time to go back and forth, and when we arrived at the Princess's Mansion, the sky was already getting dark.
Tang Ji took the lead to get off the carriage and stared at the mansion in front of him. He quickly focused his attention on the plaque with the five characters "Princess Ling'an's Mansion". He couldn't help feeling a little confused and asked Li Yu beside him.
: "Shouldn't the princess be the child of a certain prince? Why does she have her own mansion?"
Li Yu also raised his eyes to look at the plaque, and then explained: "Princess Ling'an lost her mother when she was young, and her father, King Xihuai, was killed while fighting against the enemy forces of Jiang State ten years ago. Since then, his father has sent people to
He took her to Kyoto and took great care of her."
Hearing this, Tang Ji nodded slightly and noticed a woman not far away staring at him. Without saying anything more, he walked towards the door.
Li Yu handed the invitation to the servant outside. After checking it, the latter quickly knelt down and saluted: "See His Highness King You."
"No courtesy." Li Yu waved casually, not wanting to attract anyone's attention, and walked into the house with Tang Jixiang.
Walking into the front yard, Tang Ji looked around, and then said, "I'll go look for Ranran."
When going out, Tang Ji passed by Jiang Ran's room and found that she didn't even close the door when she went out. When she walked in, she found that the usually neat dressing table had been turned over and was in a mess. She also noticed that the dresser he gave her as a gift was in disarray.
Only the green jade bracelet and the jade hairpin she wore in the morning were placed on the bed. He guessed that Jiang Ran was in a hurry when she went out and left the things behind.
Li Yu touched his chin and replied: "At this banquet, men and women are separated. Isn't that bad for you? Why don't you find a servant to send it to you?"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just giving you something." Tang Ji waved his hand, and then asked the servant not far ahead for directions.
Seeing this, Li Yu shook his head and walked towards the main courtyard without paying much attention.
...
On the other side, the women were about to discuss the handsome young man with the tear mole, but were interrupted by a voice coming from the side. They all looked at Song Yao, and a girl closer to her asked softly.
Said: "Sister, do you know that handsome man?"
Song Yao sipped melon seeds and raised her eyes to look at Jiang Ran: "Sister Jiang Ran, don't you say a word? My husband is about to be snatched away!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran also blushed and lowered her head silently.
Immediately, the eyes of everyone in the hall suddenly shifted to Jiang Ran, and the women who had just praised her superb music skills gathered around her again.
"Ah, sister Jiang Ran already has a husband?"
"Sister Jiang Ran is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is so good-looking. I think that man must not be too bad."
"Definitely. Didn't you hear what Xiaoyun said? She is extremely handsome. She must be a talented man and a beautiful woman. I really want to see it with my own eyes."
"..."
Listening to the envious sounds from the women around her, Jiang Ran's face turned even redder. Just as she was about to explain her relationship with Tang Ji, she was interrupted by a figure walking in from the door.
Looking at the slim girl wearing an orange silk dress in front of them, the girls reacted quickly and stood up to salute: "See Princess Ling'an."
"No need to be polite." Princess Ling'an, who had a delicate and fair face and watery eyes, responded politely, then walked into the hall and continued to say with a smile: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Oh, everyone is envious that sister Jiang Ran has found a good husband!" A girl said softly.
Noticing the gazes of the girls, Princess Ling'an also looked at Jiang Ran, and then glanced at Song Yao who was sitting behind her. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly realized: "You are Jiang Ran? You are indeed good-looking. You are already
Are you married to Mr. Tang?"
"Princess Princess, we are not married yet." Jiang Ranrou explained with a smile.
Princess Ling'an walked up to her and nodded slightly: "Then you have to invite me when you get married!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, the women around them once again showed doubts. Some people couldn't help asking: "Princess, do you know sister Jiang Ran's husband...fiancé?"
Princess Ling'an glanced at Jiang Ran and replied: "Of course, sister Jiang Ran's fiancé has a lot of background. He is the most talented man in Huaizhou. His Majesty has specially selected him to join the court. There was a time when the sisters were still young.
Are you discussing "Qingping Diao" and "Song of Everlasting Regret"? They were both written by him!"
Hearing this, the women present all looked shocked.
"Is that Tang Ji, the most talented man in Huaizhou?"
"Ah, then 'Looking back and smiling, the beauty of the Sixth Palace is colorless' is Sister Jiang Ran?"
"Wait a minute, it is said that the most talented man and the most talented woman in Huaizhou are a couple. Could it be that you, sister Jiang Ran, wrote the song "Drunk Flower Yin" by you?"
"Yes, why did I forget "Drunk Flower Yin"? I didn't expect that the talented woman I have always admired is standing in front of me at this moment."
"This is the true beauty of a man and a talented woman. They are a match made in heaven. I am so envious!"
"..."
At this time, all the eyes present were focused on Jiang Ran, and the words spoken by the girls were even more jealous.
Princess Ling'an found that Jiang Ran's face was so red that she was almost bleeding. She quickly pulled her to sit down and turned to everyone: "You guys, don't envy Jiang Ran. I have invited her today."
There are many prefecture-level exams for Jieyuan and famous talented scholars, sisters, why don't you choose them, and I will match them for you when the time comes. If they go to high school, you will be very lucky."
Hearing this, the topic of discussion among the women was also successfully diverted.
"I think when it comes to high school, our Gyeonggi Wuzhou Jieyuan Yuchun has the best chance. He is also good-looking, but the last time I met him, I found that he is just a nerd and doesn't care about others at all!"
"My dad said that the probability of being a nerd in high school is not high. I think you can choose from Qingzhou Jieyuan Han Yi, Linzhou Jieyuan Qin Fei, and Huaizhou Jieyuan Fangjin. Especially Qin Fei, he looks pretty good."
"Forget it about Qin Fei. I heard that he stays in the brothel all day long."
"You can consider coming closer!"
"..."
Just like that, the entire hall became lively again, and everyone was talking about their favorite talented scholar.
Jiang Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other with Princess Ling'an, and nodded in thanks.
But not long after, a woman in a red dress who looked a little arrogant walked in slowly. After bowing to Princess Ling'an, she sat down on the side. Listening to the topics discussed by the woman next to her, she discovered that it was Chang.
Mo Yingying, who was against her, snorted with some disdain: "I spend all my time fantasizing, and I don't even know what I am."
Her words soon fell into the ears of the two women, and the girl in white immediately pointed her finger at her: "Yu Yueyin, what do you mean? No one wants you!"
"Me? How come no one wants me? I'm not afraid to tell you that I have already met the man I like. He is the most talented man in Huaizhou and a close friend of King You. He is even more valued by His Majesty right now. With my beauty, I will definitely win him.
Him." Yu Yueyin touched her cheek proudly.
Hearing this, Mo Yingying laughed out loud: "Don't tell me that person's name is Tang Ji."
"Hey, it seems that you are not a country bumpkin. My father said that Mr. Tang has a bright future and will introduce me to her someday." Yu Yueyin replied.
Mo Yingying chuckled and said: "Sister Jiang Ran, here is another man who wants to steal a man from you."
Immediately, the lobby fell silent for an instant, and Jiang Ran, who was chatting with Princess Ling'an and Song Yao, also cast his gaze over.
Hearing this, Yu Yueyin also raised her eyes to look at Jiang Ran and snorted: "What? You want to fight with me?"
Song Yao, who was sitting aside, was about to speak, but Mo Yingying beat her to it: "Yu Yueyin, don't embarrass yourself here. Tang Ji and Jiang Ran are a match made in heaven. You are just a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"
Just when Yu Yueyin was about to get angry, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Excuse me, I'm looking for Jiang Ran."
