Chapter 45
Who bought the best rouge, who has the best jewelry, or who is dressed extremely beautifully today.
Not only are the major families showing off to each other, but even some noble descendants can't help but grit their teeth and spend money to save face.
Although Li Guanying is the precious daughter of Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu, it is also difficult for Li Jing to give Li Guanying much support.
At every tea party, although Li Guanying's appearance is not inferior to anyone, but because of his relative shabby status, he is always in the corner and cannot interrupt.
Even people have to use it as a background board, a reference.
This made Li Guanying feel like sitting on pins and needles.
No matter how nervous a person is, it is difficult to bear such an atmosphere.
Empress Changsun also often felt helpless.
The wives and daughters of these aristocratic families sometimes secretly belittle the eldest grandson empress.
But what can be done?
For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, we still have to endure it.
Li Guanying is a person that Empress Changsun can trust, and she is also expected to help her control the situation when she is pulled over.
Spray on the perfume Li Hao sent, maybe it will be better.
Empress Changsun didn't hold out much hope, and sprayed some perfume on Li Guanying.
Then the two of them froze.
How can this smell be like this...
There is a small garden in Taiji Palace, the environment is quiet and cool.
A group of wives and daughters of aristocratic families, each wearing valuable silk thin clothes, sat on wicker chairs, holding a cup of tea in their hands, chatting with each other.
Among them, there are not many people who are familiar with state affairs, and most of the chats are about the status and achievements of their respective husbands or fathers, and what careers they have made.
Especially if you bought something expensive for yourself.
Mrs. Cui, a member of the Qinghe Cui family, was shaking a string of red bead bracelets in her hand, showing off to the sisters beside her:
"Look at my sandalwood bracelet, but it cost a lot of money. My old man is not willing to buy it for me. I got it through hard work."
"Smell, there is a fragrance on it. This is not an ordinary fragrance. It is said that this fragrance is very good for the body. If you smell it for a long time, it can prolong your life."
The wives of the aristocratic family immediately envied, surrounded this Mrs. Cui, smelling the sandalwood bead bracelet as if intoxicated.
This sandalwood bead bracelet really has a refreshing fragrance, although it is very light, but it does smell a bit comfortable to the whole body, this sandalwood is quite expensive, the Cui family is worthy of getting such a string of top quality sandalwood as a bracelet It's the Cui family, that is, rich and powerful.
Although the wives of other aristocratic families do not have such valuables to show off, they each have their own treasures to display.
Although Empress Changsun hadn't come yet, it was already very lively.
While chatting, Mrs. Cui said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, the empress seems to seldom wear jewelry, maybe even your majesty is reluctant to buy it for her, so the empress has no choice but to wear the brand of virtuous and simple, as a woman, there is no one who doesn't like to dress up. Still reluctant."
A lady from an aristocratic family said:
"The empress has been like this for many years. In fact, the royal family just sounds nice and controls the whole world. In fact, when it comes to the foundation of the family, we have to count our big families. We have a real aristocratic upbringing. Their royal family is just an outbreak. That's all."
Some even gossiped:
"I heard that Li Guanying's daughter from General Li's mansion is also coming this time, but she hasn't been here for a long time, probably because she said a few words to her last time, she doesn't come much."
Some people were immediately displeased: "That's why we can't blame her! This Li Guanying is outrageous. A girl is not like a girl, just like a boy. The persuasion is for her own good. Why don't you appreciate it?"
Someone answered:
"That's right, a girl from every family goes to the battlefield to fight, is that plausible?"
Others said:
"I guess, when Li Guanying went to the army, everyone probably arranged some easy work for her for the sake of her father's face. It is useless in actual war. She seems to be making contributions, but she is actually a burden!"
"I'll see her in a while, so I have to talk about her!"
These wives and daughters talked a lot, and their attitude towards Li Guanying was not good.
There are some daughters of ministers who are not very good with the aristocratic family, but they did not defend Li Guanying either.
The education they have received since they were young is also three obediences and four virtues. In their view, Li Guanying does not like red clothes and prefers armed forces, which is indeed too deviant.
At this moment, a very faint fragrance suddenly penetrated into their noses.
Although this fragrance was very faint, as if floating from a distance, it was extremely vivid and attracted everyone's attention.
Because this faint fragrance is so special, it is more prominent than sandalwood fragrance, flower fragrance, and even the most precious agarwood fragrance, it is a fragrance that I have never felt before.
There is a feeling of coming from a fairyland in the sky!
Everyone immediately looked to the source of the aroma.
I saw a graceful and luxurious lady on the small road in the imperial garden, leading a pure and heroic young girl, walking slowly towards the ladies.
These two people are Empress Changsun and Li Guanying!
Both were modestly dressed.
But that faint fragrance was emanating from them, so that from the perspective of outsiders, the simple two seemed to be surrounded by flowers and clouds on both sides.
Even if all the wives' daughters are women, they can't help but tremble at the temperament of the two of them at this moment.
Empress Changsun's face was no longer there, but the aura of motherhood became more obvious at this time, and that faint fragrance greatly increased others' favor for Empress Changsun.
And the more outstanding one is Li Guanying.
In the [-]th year of Li Guanying, although she didn't wear makeup, it didn't affect her peerless appearance at all. The fragrance radiated out, as if she descended from the sky to the world.
As the saying goes, hibiscus comes out of clear water, and it is natural to carve and decorate!
That's all.
It was autumn at this time, and many flowers were still blooming. Empress Changsun and Li Guanying passed by the flowers. Inadvertently, many butterflies and bees fluttered their wings, and they were driven by the fragrance of Empress Changsun and Li Guanying, and flew over to surround them.
For a moment, I saw butterflies flying and bees buzzing in front of and behind Empress Changsun and Li Guanying.
Just like a fairy among flowers!
In an instant, the three views of everyone present were shaken!
"The body has a strange fragrance? Could it be that the empress is really the reincarnation of Huofeng?"
"How could it be Huofeng? Guanying is also surrounded by butterflies. Could it be that they showed their true colors today? In fact, both of them are fairies!"
In this era, although there are high-end spices such as sandalwood, agarwood, ambergris, etc., they are only a single fragrance after all.
For the fragrance that can cause such visions, it is completely beyond their understanding. For a while, they thought that they had seen a fairy.
Who has ever seen a person surrounded by butterflies and bees!
Seeing Empress Changsun and Li Guanying approaching in style, all the wives dared not even show their pride.
What they said about Empress Changsun and Li Guanying before became so ridiculous and pale at this moment.
Madam Cui even stood up.
