Not long after Yongning Hou came back.
Cen Tingbai and Xiao Nanxing also returned together.
Marquis Yongning frowned when he saw this scene. Then I thought about it, since Bei Wangfu knew about this, it was not surprising that he would help Cen Tingbai and sell it well.
He felt very regretful that he could not kill Cen Tingbai today.
But that's okay.
Kill that bitch Anyang first, and then deal with him!
A long time passed.
Princess Anyang is also back. She sent someone to the imperial kitchen to get some ice to apply on her face, and waited until the slap marks subsided.
Seeing Cen Tingbai sitting upright opposite...
Her mind immediately became alive. I’ll look for another chance next time——
But before that, she had to get rid of Marquis Yongning!
Marquis Yongning might lock her up at home and abuse her again...
And she did not dare to complain to the Queen Mother and the Emperor because of this leverage held by Marquis Yongning.
There is no way she would let Marquis Yongning bully her, so get rid of Marquis Yongning!
Then no one will know what she did!
Princess Anyang was applying ice to her face just now while thinking about how to kill Marquis Yongning as soon as possible!
……
After the plum blossom feast.
The eldest princess Anyang was imprisoned in the eldest princess mansion by Yongning Marquis and was not allowed to step out of the mansion.
Yongninghou returned to Yongninghou Mansion to live. Run errands as soon as possible and prepare to take her to the northwest.
Killing Princess Anyang in the capital would easily arouse the suspicion of the royal family. It would be better to let her die without any evidence after she goes to the northwest.
Princess Anyang did not sit still and wait for death, she had already calculated an opportunity.
On the ninth day of the lunar month in winter, King Duan married Dong Xiqin, the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Hou Mansion.
The Marquis of Yongning was far away in the northwest, and the second room of the Marquis's mansion in the capital was taken care of. The two families were not separated. Dong Xiqin was the daughter of the second family and the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. She was a close match with Prince Duan.
Because the two of them had fallen into the water and decided to get married, the royal family made preparations as quickly as possible and finally got it done before the end of the year.
Jiang Rong never attended such inconsequential wedding banquets, but today he specially attended with Xie Lingxi.
"Don't the Crown Princess hate Prince Duan very much? Why do you still want to congratulate him?" Feicui asked in confusion.
Jiang Rong smiled faintly and said, "I heard that Marquis Yongning has returned to the Marquis' Mansion since the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet and has never been to the Eldest Princess's Mansion. The couple never see each other. This is a rare opportunity."
Princess Anyang had a rare opportunity to be in the same room as Marquis Yongning.
If she doesn't seize the opportunity, she will be taken to the northwest by Marquis Yongning.
Jiang Rong bet that she would take advantage of her before leaving Beijing.
"Eighteen, you secretly keep an eye on Princess Anyang to see if she has any unusual movements." Jiang Rong ordered the maid next to him.
Dark Eighteen took the order.
Today's Prince Duan's Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, full of guests and guests, and it is very lively.
Murong Shili had a lot of complaints against Princess Anyang because of the death of his sister, but in order to win over the Dong family, he did not get to the bottom of it.
Entertain the Dong family with thoughtful etiquette.
The eldest princess Anyang was still dressed up to attend, and there was nothing unusual about her appearance. She was holding the arm of Marquis Yongning, and she looked like a harmonious couple, acting very similar.
The seats in the North Palace were right across from them.
Jiang Rong looked thoughtful when he saw Princess Anyang and Marquis Yongning almost sticking together.
soon……
The maid brought plates of exquisite silver pots and snacks to the table.
"Oh, isn't this the imperial wine Chengyue Niang? This is a tribute that is hard to find, and it is very rare. Only when a few princes get married, will your Majesty reward you with this tribute wine." Lin Yide, the Minister of Rites, said with a flattering look:
"Thanks to His Highness King Duan, I have been craving this wine for five years, and today I can finally drink a glass!"
Among the current royal family, only the prince used Chengyue wine for his wedding five years ago, and the King of England has not yet married.
Lin Yide deliberately showed off in order to highlight the extraordinary nature of Prince Duan among the courtiers and to point out that Prince Duan was different from ordinary princes.
The specifications of the wine used in Prince Duan's wedding were the same as those of the prince.
None of the princelings looked very good-looking. Because of the superficial respect between brothers and sisters, the prince and his followers also came to congratulate him today.
Fan Ziyi said lightly, "Lin Shangshu hasn't had it for five years. It seems he didn't go to congratulate the Northern Prince. When the prince got married, His Majesty also gave Chengyue Brewing as a gift."
In order to show his honour, the emperor also sent a batch of the royal wine to the Beiwang Mansion, which was specially used for the wedding of individual princes.
This sentence broke Lin Yide's opinion that Prince Duan was the same as the Crown Prince.
A prince with a foreign surname also received such treatment.
Lin Yide looked slightly embarrassed. He had forgotten that the Prince of the North was getting married...
Trying to make up for it, "On the day of the prince's wedding, I was ill and did not go..."
"It doesn't matter. Since Lin Shangshu likes to drink Chengyue Brewing, there are still many opportunities. When the King of England gets married, there will definitely be one." Fan Ziyi continued to stab.
Lin Yide was no match for him, so he could only sit down in frustration.
Murong Shili, on the other hand, smiled and smoothed things over by saying:
"Thank you for coming to attend my wedding banquet. I would like to toast you all..."
Everyone picked up their wine cups and drank together.
But Jiang Rong noticed that Princess Anyang did not drink.
She gave a few instructions to the maid next to her and ordered someone to bring a pot of tea.
Some time passed.
Princess Anyang quietly stuffed the sachet in her sleeve to the maid behind her.
The maid understood this and took the sachet out of the banquet hall to the depths of the garden of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Find an inconspicuous corner and drop it.
As long as this key evidence is thrown away, no one can prove that the sachet was brought by Princess Anyang.
But the maid didn't know that An Shiba had been ordered by Jiang Rong to follow her.
The maid dropped the sachet with her front legs, and An Ba picked it up with her back legs.
An Shiba came back and lowered his voice: "Princess Anyang's maid threw a sachet."
This should be the key thing.
Jiang Rong immediately leaned against Xie Lingxi with a weak look on her face, "Husband, I'm a little dizzy from drinking."
Xie Lingxi said to the palace maid next to her, "Lead the way to the quiet room."
The banquet houses have special quiet rooms for guests to take a rest.
The maid bowed to lead the way.
Jiang Rong had already hooked Xie Lingxi's neck with both hands, pretending to be dizzy: "I'm drunk, I want my husband to hold me!"
While laying out the arrangements, I was getting cozy with my husband.
When the guests from the Western Zhou Dynasty saw this scene, they all whispered. Many people looked at her with envy and jealousy.
"Humph, what is she showing off here when someone else gets married?" Princess Anyang rolled her eyes: "How can a dandy compare to Prince Duan? Qin'er's marriage is much better than hers!"
Shen Li, who was sitting next to him, heard this and was very angry for Jiang Rong. He turned to look at her and said: "Sister Jiang was drunk and dizzy, so she asked the prince to send him to a quiet room. This is just a move that ordinary couples would do. What does this have to do with showing off? What? It is said that some people feel that others' normal words and deeds are showing off when they lack something, but the eldest princess and Marquis Yongning are so affectionate that they should not have such thoughts."
Princess Anyang almost fainted from anger and glared at Shen Li fiercely.
It was the first time that Shen Li was facing off against the nobles in the capital, and he was also panicking. But Sister Jiang saved her life, and she must protect Sister Jiang!
So I tried my best to stare back with a straight face!
