Red makeup against the world

Chapter 407

After finally finishing the meal, the dishes are naturally exquisite and delicious, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

But Xu Wanzhen only felt that the numbness of her legs was getting worse and worse. If she maintained a posture for a long time, she had to pay attention to her elegant and dignified manner, and her neck became stiff.

I can't help but think of a sentence I occasionally saw in a model's autobiography in modern times.She couldn't remember the appearance of that female model, but she only remembered that she was a world-famous female model.She said that any posture that looks elegant and beautiful in front of the camera is actually very uncomfortable to pose.

When Madam Zheng taught her harshly, she also thought of this sentence countless times.In this situation, Xu Wanzhen once again felt that this sentence was too correct.

The daughters in this water pavilion, no matter they are elegant, pungent, gentle, or arrogant, are all strictly following the etiquette requirements at this time, ignoring the protests of their bodies, and showing their best manners.

All of this is an intuitive reflection of their childhood upbringing, and it is also a hidden competition.

As the host, Mrs. Zhuang put down the chopsticks in her hand, which meant the end of the banquet.

She smiled and said, "Everyone is quite familiar with my other courtyard. If you want to take a lunch break, you can rest in the south wing; if you want to play, please feel free. If you have any requirements, just tell the maid."

Mrs. Zhuang opened her mouth, and the atmosphere in the water pavilion became more relaxed.

The lady who had a good relationship with them discussed in a low voice and arranged the next itinerary.

At this time, Banmei rushed over and whispered to Mrs. Zhuang: "The Prince's Mansion sent a female official, saying that it was a summer banquet hosted by Mrs. He."

"Ma'am?" Mrs. Zhuang frowned slightly.The summer banquet has always been held only among nobles, and the list is drawn up by her herself.It is almost a customary rule that the royal family members and female relatives of civil and military ministers were not invited to participate.

Why did the Prince's Mansion send someone here today?Or a female officer, she had never heard of it.

Although Banmei's voice was soft, the water pavilion was already quiet, so what she said naturally fell into everyone's ears.

Whether it is Mrs. Guogong or Mrs. Hou present, they are all human beings, and there is no clue from their expressions.But the younger generation was not so calm, and the noble ladies started discussing one after another.

"Are there any female officials in the prince's mansion? Why haven't I heard of it?" Cheng Huixin from Anping Hou's mansion spoke.

"I don't know, when did it happen." Someone answered.

Shi Jingyu kept her expression on the surface, but she thought in her heart: "This prince is getting more and more impatient. A few days ago, he wanted to force Xu Wanzhen to be his brother's side concubine. Seeing that the matter failed, he thought he had given up. Now I don't know what kind of female officer is sent here at this time."

Mrs. Zhuang's thoughts are similar to hers.Although the prince went beyond the etiquette, since he sent someone to come, there is no reason to refuse to enter.

She said, "Please come in quickly."

No matter what the crown prince wants to do, he will only know when he meets him.How can the current Anguo government reject the prince's visit?

Wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, Wang Miaoyan followed the maid who led the way with a smile on her lips, and walked in this secluded courtyard at a leisurely pace.

Now she has finally made a breakthrough in the Prince's Mansion.

Since the crown prince took a fancy to her, she passed the test of Mr. Du and became a female official in the crown prince's mansion. She was in charge of document recording duties. In fact, she followed the crown prince to attend various occasions, and secretly observed and recorded them at the banquet. , During the banquet, the conversations and expressions of everyone.

She is just a woman, even if she appears beside the prince as a female official, everyone will cast ambiguous eyes on her.She and the prince did have an unusual relationship before, and in the eyes of those veterans in the officialdom, they thought that she was just favored, and the prince took her with him wherever he went.

She took advantage of everyone's natural contempt for her identity, secretly collected information, and then summarized and analyzed the situation, and reported it to the prince.Set up a few small credits.

Therefore, the prince also paid more attention to her, and Master Du, who had always been hostile to her, also changed his attitude.

The current Wang Miaoyan, in the prince's mansion, can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, like a duck in water.

The prince allocated an exquisite small courtyard for her in the front yard.The number of people serving her has also increased from only one Xiaolan to one rough envoy, two young maids, and two big maids.Her food and clothing expenses and monthly allowances are even higher than that of the crown prince's favorite concubine Ji.

She was thinking as she walked, and heard that the Crown Princess even made a fuss because of herself.But apart from angering the prince, it has no effect.

Wang Miaoyan thought contemptuously: "How can a mere woman who only knows how to compete for favor in the back house be as useful to the prince as she is?"

Wang Miaoyan was extremely satisfied with her current treatment.She was so satisfied that she almost forgot that her body was bewitched by Princess Chu, and she was just a puppet of Princess Chu.

How much she wished that she had never met Princess Chu, who was a female official in the Prince's mansion, enjoying supernatural treatment.He is relied on by the prince in his career, and he can go to Wushan together with the prince at night.

This time she obeyed the order, and on the surface she came with a congratulatory gift, but in reality, she also wanted to inquire about valuable information in such a place where the top honored women gathered.

Since the crown prince sent the female officer here, everyone who originally planned to disperse separately waited in the water pavilion.

Firstly, it was because she wanted to give face to the prince, and this female official did not know why, and no one wanted to offend the prince; secondly, she was also a little curious about this female official who appeared suddenly.

Although it was uncomfortable to keep kneeling, the strict etiquette training did not show any patience on their faces.

The maids of An Guogong's mansion had already lightly removed the tableware from the table, brought tea for the wives and ladies to rinse their mouths, and handed out fragrant towels for everyone to wipe their hands.Finally, according to each person's different preferences, the corresponding tea is presented.

Xu Wanzhen held the white jade teacup in front of her in her hand, she was not in a hurry to drink it, she lowered her eyes and meditated.I don't know what kind of person this unexpected female official from the Prince's Mansion is, will it disrupt my next plan?
She was thinking about something on her mind, and she paid a little attention to the door.When she saw that familiar figure appearing in her line of sight, she couldn't help but shudder, it turned out to be her!

Wang Miaoyan walked lightly, gracefully removing the gold thread embroidered shoes in front of the water pavilion, revealing silk socks embroidered with delicate lotus patterns.

Holding a red sandalwood box in her hand, she walked towards Mrs. Zhuang who was on the main seat.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure, Xu Wanzhen?Why is she sitting not far from Mrs. Zhuang?
Wang Miaoyan shrank her eyes, thinking that the rumor she had heard was actually true?She actually became the adopted daughter of An Guogong's mansion?

Looking back on the time, it turned out that during her most miserable time, Xu Wanzhen actually obtained the status of the honorable righteous daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
