Chapter 148 Palace Banquet 1
A burst of exclamation came from Wei's behind him. Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly turned around and saw Wei wearing a short crimson jacket. Below was a light pleated floral skirt. He combed a fallen horse bun behind his head with blue silk rules, and obliquely inserted a jade-colored glazed water drop hairpin. Xia Chuan felt more and more that this scene was That's familiar.
Yes, when she first met the Wei family in Wei's house that day, she was also like this. She was independent. There was no arrogance of a lady and the power of a businessman. Some were just Anran's temperament and gentle face.
Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he remembered the gold, silver and jewelry he gave to Wei a few days ago.
I don't know such a lovely person. She was born in a businessman, but she loved books. When she was young, she loved to grind and write, but now...
Thinking like this, Xia Chuanyuan's eyes were a little more gentle. He walked over to help Wei, "Don't be polite."
Wei gently turned his face, but Xia Chuanyuan still saw the cyan color in her eyes and the tears on her face. Thinking of what he heard in the shop today, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help throbbing in his heart and felt very sorry for Wei.
Wei nodded and said to the girl behind her, "Cai Yue, go make tea."
Cai Yue answered and walked down, and then the Wei family said, "The master came to find a concubine, but what's the matter?"
Xia Chuanyuan paused and didn't know what to say. He clenched his fist and coughed gently on his lips and said, "Nothing else. I just came to see you."
Wei's eyes were soft. She took the veil and tapped it on her mouth a few times, signaling Xia Chuanyuan to sit down. At this time, Cai Yue also made tea and came in. Wei reached out and took it, gently brushed the tea foam away, took an empty bowl, and gently poured the tea along the edge of the bowl. The whole process was silent, but skilled. Quickly, Xia Chuanyuan looked at it and only felt pleasing to the eyes.
"Master, the tea is ready."
Xia Chuanyuan was still in a daze, and he smelled a refreshing fragrance. Seeing Wei's bare hand stretched out, the cuffs of the embroidered magnolia branches reflected a snow-white wrist, and the glass of clear tea was held on his delicate jade fingers. Xia Chuanyuan saw the blue glazed bracelet on Wei's wrist and asked in his heart: "This bracelet Are you still wearing it on your body?
Hearing this, Wei Shi turned his body slightly and said softly, "This is the most precious thing in my life. Naturally, I will take it on my body day by day."
Xia Chuanyuan took a sip of tea and couldn't help but leave a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks. He suddenly remembered that when Wei first entered the door, whenever he came here, she would carefully cook a pot of tea for herself.
At that time, when she cooked tea, she sat by the window and copied poems. Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help sighing, put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Yuan Ying, your tea doesn't seem to be as fragrant as before."
Wei didn't know why. He whispered slightly, but he didn't raise his head. Xia Chuanyuan stood up, walked to her side, held her hand, and said annoidly, "Why is your hand so cold?"
Wei shook his head, "My concubine is not cold."
Xia Chuanyuan took her hand and said, "Then would you like to cook a pot of tea for me again as before?"
Wei raised his head and saw Xia Chuanyuan looking at him with burning eyes. He couldn't help but fly two blushes on his cheeks and spread behind his ears.
Xia Mengning sat on the Eight Immortals mahogany chair, opened the tea cover with her bare hands, and gently brushed off the foam on her face. After listening to Xiao Liuzi's words, she smiled and said, "Cook tea? Fortunately, Wei can remember it so clearly.
With that, she took a sip of the green soup in her hand and said, "Wei's is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I knew she wouldn't give up."
Little Liuzi listened, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said carefully, "Miss San, you..."
Xia Mengning smiled and raised her eyebrows gently, "Nothing, let her be proud for a few days. The most unacceptable thing is the feeling of difference when she falls from heaven to hell."
Xiao Liuzi blinked his eyes and knew that Xia Mengning had a back hand, so he didn't say much and said goodbye.
Xia Chuanyuan rested in Wei's room for three consecutive days. For a while, the wind in the house turned, and the Fang's Ning's family fell one after another. Originally, the Ge's family was unique. Unexpectedly, in a few days, the unknown Wei's family was very popular.
Xia Mengning is active. Every day, she goes to Yong'an Hall to ask her respects, goes to Meifangyuan to accompany Ge Shi to tease Xia Zhikang, and the rest of the time is to concentrate on the poison on Changsun Yun in the room.
On this day, Xia Mengning just got up in the morning and heard Xiao Liuzi's voice outside. After a while, Jiu'er ran in and said, "Miss, it's someone from the palace."
Xia Mengning frowned and said to the pearl lotus behind her, "Just comb a simple bun."
Zhulian quickly pulled a half-and-sagging bun for Xia Mengning. After simply tidying it up, she hurried to the front hall.
As soon as he entered the front hall, he saw Xia Chuanyuan sitting on the top, and next to him were Su Pu and Changsun Yun.
Seeing that Changsun Yun was also there, Xia Mengning was a little surprised, but she still went forward to salute respectfully.
Xia Mengran came to the front hall early and sat aside and peeked at Chang Sun Yun. After all, there were few opportunities to get close to the prince. For a moment, Xia Mengran was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hand.
But for so long, Changsun Yun just listened to Xia Chuanyuan and Su Pu with a smile. He inserted a few words from time to time and didn't look at him at all. Xia Mengran felt a little cold and unnaturally sorted out his hair, hoping to show his best side in front of Changsun Yun.
Who would have thought that Xia Mengning was also coming, and Xia Mengran carefully observed that since Xia Mengning came in, the prince's eyes directly looked at Xia Mengning, and it was full of deep affection.
Xia Mengran couldn't help clenching his teeth and clenching his hands tightly under his sleeves.
Xia Mengning came in a hurry. She only casually wore an ivory-white and chest Confucian skirt. The water-red ribbon hung down gently, and the outer cover was an embroidered iris with a yellow gold-rimmed silk dress. The girl's face was like jade, like clouds of ink green silk simply bent behind her head, with a white magnolia agate water drop hairpin, and the fringe drooping. On the side of the ear, the beautiful woman looks better.
"I've met my father, my son, and my father-in-law."
Xia Mengning gently opened her red lips, and the voice of jade beads slowly came out. Xia Chuanyuan looked at it and was also very satisfied, and Su Pu, who was beside her, also squinted and smiled, "Mr. Prime Minister, our family really deserves the reputation of the beauty of heaven and man."
As a parent, he was very happy to hear others praise his children. Xia Chuanyuan reached out and brushed his beard and said with a smile, "I dare not."
looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Sit down."
Xia Mengning gave a salute and walked to the side and sat down. The movements were elegant, and the cloud-like skirt kept flowing. Chang Sun Yun looked at it, and the smile on his face slowly expanded, and his eyes were also staring at Xia Mengning tightly.
Unexpectedly, his future concubine also has a unique charm in home clothes. Changsun Yun touched his chin with his fingers and thought that when Xia Mengning and Zhu, he could stay with her every day. In this way, it felt really beautiful.
Xia Mengran secretly hated it. Looking at Changsun Yun's eyes closely following Xia Mengning, he couldn't help staring at Xia Mengning fiercely.
"The third sister must have overslept, but there are guests coming today. The third sister is really not as lazy as before. If it spreads like this, it will lose the face of our prime minister's mansion."
Xia Mengran pinched the veil and turned around to bite Xia Mengning's ears. Others seemed to think it was a joke between sisters, but Xia Mengran said that Xia Mengning was lazy, but Xia Mengning could not refute it on the line. If she refuted, she was afraid that Xia Mengran would do something wrong. It's just an unintentional thing.
Xia Mengning smiled secretly. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xia Mengran's crazy eyes on Changsun Yun. This Xia Mengran had some brains this time.
Thinking of this, Xia Mengning reached out and took a handkerchief to cover her mouth. "Stop talking about the fifth sister. My mother has to play with Kanger every day until late at night these days. I think that my mother is not in good health, so I often go to Meifangyuan to replace my mother. I can't get up. The fifth sister is still young. How can I know the child? It's so naughty."
With that, he also smiled, as if he was complaining to Xia Mengran.
Xia Mengran's face was immediately a little unbearable. Ge raised his wife, and Xia Mengning's identity became a direct descendant. Although it was not a serious direct descendant, it was also given by the emperor. According to reason, the flat wife was equivalent to the main room. Xia Mengran also had to go to Ge's garden every day to ask for service, but how could Xia Mengran think of it? Now that Xia Mengning was so merciless, Xia Mengran's face was not very good-looking.
Xia Chuanyuan listened and frowned. Ge Shi raised his wife, but did not take more Joe, but he was as gentle as before. Xia Chuanyuan knew that Ge's nature was like this, and he was not surprised by his favors and humiliation. Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan felt a little shackles in his heart. He hadn't gone to see Ge these days. If it had been someone else, he would have taken the child. Zi did pull himself away, but Gurdjie didn't.
Xia Chuanyuan sighed. He actually snou Mei'er these days. After a while, he was free, so he still had to spend more time with Mei'er.
Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan coughed a few times and said, "Ning'er, Ran'er, three days later, the emperor held a palace banquet and also invited you. Today, Euke Su is talking about this matter. You all go back and prepare well."
Xia Mengran and Xia Mengning both stood up and said, "My daughter wrote it down."
Su Pu saw it and said, "The two ladies are both dragons and phoenixes. You don't have to worry too much."
With that, he said to Xia Chuanyuan, "Your Excellency, our tea has also been drunk, and we will stay soon. There are still a lot of things in the palace, so our family will go first."
Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly ordered someone to see Su Pu off. Su Pu said, "The prince won't go back with the old slave?"
Changsun Yun nodded, stood up and said, "A few days ago, when I went to Jiangnan, I got a kind of fresh fruit, which was dedicated to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager tasted it very good. Today, I also brought some to the Prime Minister."
With that, a little man behind him lifted up two bamboo baskets, which were full of red fruits the size of fists, which looked very beautiful.
Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly arched his hand, "Thank you."
Changsun Yun shook his hand and said, "Come on, I also brought some gifts to the two ladies. Come on, pick them up."
