Chapter 306 Banquet

Tao Jingnian was also a typical Chang'an girl when she did not leave the cabinet. She was high-profile and arbitrary. Even if Emperor Xianzong did not abandon Fengchun and sent King Qiong and Princess Qiong to go to the distant fiefland to avoid the royal bones after her death, she still raised her head when she left Chang'an.

The two sisters-in-law, the princess and the eldest grandson Mingjing, still saw her so depressed for the first time. The eldest grandson Mingjing opened his mouth as the master. Because the eldest son of Emperor Xianzong died early, the princess was the eldest sister-in-law. At this moment, she couldn't help showing a look of concern. Yuanxiu looked motionless, but also looked at her.

Tao Jingnian reluctantly smiled and said, "What did the third sister-in-law say? What else can I do with the third sister-in-law? However, these days, I am not very refreshed, and I don't sleep well at night, so I am always tired in the daytime, which makes my second sister-in-law and sister-in-law and sister-in-law worry.

She said so, and then looked at her face. It was indeed a touch of blackness at the moment, which seemed that she didn't sleep well at night. Changsun Mingjing gently patted the back of her hand and said anly, "You are such a big person. Why can't you even take good care of yourself? At least she is still the princess of a family. If she is sick, who will she count on?

"Three brothers and sisters, don't blame the six brothers and sisters." Princess Dai smiled and said, "How can I listen to the words of the sixth brother-in-law? It's not that she doesn't care, but that she is not happy... Can the sixth sister-in-law ask the doctor to see it?"

"This is not a big deal..." The meaning of Tao Jingnian's words was obviously not to be read, and the Princess Dai then said, "I sounded as if it was about the same as when I was pregnant with the Lang Lang. Shouldn't you have it?"

Changsun Mingjing was stunned, but Tao Jingnian was the imperial concubine of King Qiong, not the concubine of the King of Qi, so he said sincerely, "If this is true, then I will congratulate you first!" Tao Jingnian heard that he has always had a good relationship with King Qiong, but the two have been childless. A single concubine seems to have been seeking medical treatment since she came to Chang'an. Obviously, her body is not good. If she can get pregnant, it is always a happy thing whether it is a man or a woman.

Who knew that Tao Jingnian's face couldn't help changing slightly when he heard the words of the princess, and his eyes turned red, but he wanted to shed tears. Yuan Xiu, who had planned to congratulate him a few times, unconsciously listened to the princess's words and said in surprise: "What's wrong with your sixth sister-in-law? But I just said something wrong?"

"Don't worry, my second sister-in-law is not in good physical well. I thought that my third sister-in-law would come here on her birthday, but I didn't want to worry you." Tao Jingnian saw that the first few ladies sitting nearby had paid attention to it. He quickly wiped his eyes with a handkerchief by drinking tea and reluctantly smiled.

Seeing her stay here like this, she may be in a bad state. Changsun Mingjing looked at the princess and stood up on behalf of the princess and said, "Since you are not feeling well, you don't have to hold on. Are you all your sister-in-law? Will your third sister-in-law still choose your gift? Why don't you ask your third brother and sister to find a place to lie down first!"

Changsun Mingjing said, "I asked someone to invite a doctor. The side hall next to me is packed up and ready to drink too much to rest. My second sister-in-law here is familiar with me, and I will ask my second sister-in-law to accompany my sixth sister-law."

It was also the intention for the princess to stand up. Tao Jingnian quickly refused, "I just lie down. Today is a good day for my third sister-in-law. How can I not be happy to invite a doctor for me?"

"What's the point of this? Your body is important." Changsun Mingjing couldn't help helping her get up and handing it over to the princess. Yuan Xiu also got up and said, "Seventh sister hasn't come yet. Why don't I accompany my sixth sister-in-law?"

In this way, when she arrived in the side hall, the princess touched the pot on the table in the hall and ordered the envoy of Qi's mansion, "Go and find some hot tea."

The maid who was originally guarding in the hall bent her knees when she was ordered. Tao Jingnian was supported and lying on the couch behind the screen. Yuanxiu sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to test her forehead temperature. She was relieved and asked, "Is the sixth sister-in-law afraid of summer?"

"No!" Tao Jingnian shook her head weakly. When the princess heard this, she turned around from the screen and smiled and said, "I don't think so. In the past, the former emperor drove Lishan. The sixth brother and sister sometimes drove with the sixth brother. On the way, we were afraid of hiding in the carriage, but she refused to sit in the carriage and disguised herself as the sixth brother. The guard on the side followed the horse and arrived at Huaqing Palace. We all felt a little tired. She was still interested. How could she suddenly be afraid of summer?

Tao Jingnian was in a trance when she heard about Emperor Xianzong's existence. Then he was shocked to find that Yuanxiu was also beside him. He quickly restrained his face and smiled bitterly and said, "It's all mine. Originally, I was going to celebrate the third sister-in-law's birthday, but the result not only asked the third sister-in-law to worry about me, but also the second sister-in-law and the ninth sister-law were not stable."

"Listen to the second sister-in-law, the sixth sister-in-law obviously doesn't treat us as our own." Yuanxiu turned his head and smiled at the princess, "Let's ask her here why she can't even sleep well, but she keeps making amends!"

The princess nodded and said pleasantly, "You have always been in good shape. Why are you so good? But has the royal palace been doing a lot recently?

King Qiong was left in Chang'an, which is not a good signal in itself. Even some people who used to be very close to King Qiong don't want to visit. Now the royal palace is very idle. How can it be difficult to get Tao Jingnian, whose mother was born in the Du family?

Tao Jingnian wanted to speak and stopped. He looked at the words on behalf of the princess and coaxed softly for a long time. Tao Jingnian was about to open his mouth, but the maid came in and reported that the doctor sent by Changsun Mingjing had arrived.

Seeing this, the princess had to give up and ordered someone to invite the doctor in first to diagnose Tao Jingnian's pulse.

The doctor is quite famous in Chang'an. He didn't want to see a doctor for the women in the big family not once or twice. He didn't have any fear about one of the two princesses in the side hall. After cutting the pulse, he said a lot first. Yuan Xiu heard it in the fog, but the substitute princess patiently listened and asked Fang, "So what should I do? "

"I opened a calm prescription for a few days, but I also told the truth. The princess's illness came from her heart. If she can't think about it, it's useless to take medicine." The doctor said.

"Awen, accompany the doctor to make a prescription." Princess Dai frowned slightly and nodded to the doctor. The maid behind her responded quickly and went out with the doctor. Tao Jingnian reluctantly smiled and said, "I said nothing, but I asked my two sisters-in-law and Jiumei to be so busy."

The princess sighed softly: "The matter of the children is not urgent. Besides, you and King Qiong are still young. We are here to say something, and we are not afraid of the Queen's Highness being surprised - Her Royal Highness has been in the central palace for many years, and now there are also there? Everything in the world always pays attention to an hour.

Tao Jingnian was stunned, and then realized that the princess was deliberately pushing her down on her son's behalf, so as not to make Yuan Xiu think differently. She nodded with a bitter smile and said, "What's the second sister-in-law said? I'm thinking narrow."

"I said, "Why would my sixth sister-in-law be depressed, but it turned out to be for her children." Yuan Xiu also comforted, "What the second sister-in-law said is not right. The fate of the children is determined by nature, not to mention that the sixth brother and sixth sister-in-law are so young."

The princess and Yuan Xiu persuaded her a few more words, but the maid had already cooked the medicine first. Yuan Xiuqi said, "Why so fast?"

"The doctor's prescriptions are some common medicinal herbs, which happen to be available in the royal palace. Just now, Mrs. Shu asked someone to go to the kitchen to watch and fry them." The maid Awen replied.

Of course, they will not know the news that Fengchun gave a beautiful concubine. Although Sun Mingjing, the president, was not here, several people still didn't say much. Only Tao Jingnian said to his maid: "You can thank Mrs. Shu for me later!"

Her maid bent her knees.

Tao Jingnian fell asleep after drinking the medicine. On behalf of the princess, he had a rough medical sense and nodded and said, "Since it's a tranquil medicine, it's always sleepy to drink. Let's leave here first to have a good rest."

"What my second sister-in-law said is that people outside have almost arrived." Yuanxiu returned to the main hall with the princess. Sure enough, Princess Changyang had also arrived. She was wearing a purple palace suit, tied in a bun, and was covered with pearls. She was brilliant and dazzling, just like a gorgeous peony. When she saw Yuan Xiu, she smiled and said, "Where am I looking for you? So you are with your second sister-in-law? But isn't the third sister-in-law have something good, but gave it to the two of you, and now she has eaten alone?

Hearing what she said, Yuan Xiu also knew that Princess Changyang had obviously just arrived. When she saw that Yunzhou had not yet arrived, Princess Dai had already smiled and said, "Isn't it? The snacks made by your third sister-in-law on Qidi's side were caught up because we came early, but you didn't have them.

"Sure enough!" Princess Changyang was so upset with Mingjing, "What a eccentric third sister-in-law, I just changed my time because the carriage broke down when I went out, so I changed my car to delay my work. Didn't you think that my third sister-in-law wouldn't keep it for me?"

"Qi Di's snacks are ready, but I don't know whether you like it or not." Changsun Mingjing sent it up with a smile and explained, "The last few times I took it out to treat guests was not as good as Chang'an, but even Zhao Lang didn't like to eat it, so although I prepared one today, I didn't take it out immediately, but I didn't expect my second sister-in-law to think about it."

The princess stretched out her hand and smiled and said, "You don't know this. My father used to be an official in Qidi, but I stayed there when I was a child, and I don't like it very much, but I always want to taste a few pieces when I meet them."

Princes Changyang laughed and said, "Then I also want to taste a piece to see why the second sister-in-law has been thinking about it like this."

Yuan Xiu sat down at her head and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "Have you seen Yunzhou?"

"She didn't come with you?" Changyang asked back, and then immediately said, "So many of them went to see the Zheng family Langjun first."

She looked left and right and asked, "I heard that Liyang is sick. What's going on?"

"She has been by the Taiye Pool for a long time and suffered from heatstroke. I have sent away the people in Yanchun Hall yesterday." Yuan Xiu said lightly.

Princes Changyang frowned first and then said, "This is right. From the nursing mother to the maid of honor to the maid, many people can still let Liyang get heatstroke and die when the late emperor was there!"

"Now there are only two happy events in the palace, and it is not appropriate to see blood. What's more, I'm just in charge of the palace affairs." Yuan Xiu took a bite of the snack and was a little tasteless and put it down.

Princess Changyang casually picked a piece to eat and didn't seem to like it very much: "Although Liyang is young, although Ruan Fangyi's position is high, it's a pity that she died early. Ruan Fangyi is not a shrewd and capable person, and the nursing mother left behind is so careless."

With that, she remembered and asked, "It's okay if Dongping didn't come out. Where's the tenth brother? Can you come here this time?"

"He and Luanlang and Xinlang came. As soon as they entered the door, they were called by Zao Lang. Now they don't know which corner of the royal palace they are playing." Yuan Xiudao.

"It's better for the tenth brother to be lively, otherwise he will always be detained like a girl in the palace." Changyang nodded and said, "Why did you bring Luanlang and the others here?" She immediately thought of something, "Do you mean the fifth brother?"

Yuan Xiu shook his head and shook his head: "First, Luanlang went to the Pearl Mirror Hall to beg me, saying that he wanted to play with him. He opened his mouth to me for the first time. Besides, the third sister-in-law was his serious elder. In addition, Zhang Mingzhu was indeed strict, and it was nothing to make him relax for a day. Later, when the fifth brother knew it, he said that it was better to take it with Lian Xinlang."

Changyang pondered for a moment and then snorted coldly: "Zhao Fangyi's mind must not be able to come up with such an idea. Luan Lang is so young, and Zhang Mingzhu is not like these people - Yunzhou has been walking a lot with Zhao Fangyi recently, right?"

"I don't think Yunzhou seems to have thought of these things." Yuan Xiu knew what she meant and sneered, "In the past, I couldn't see these thoughts of the Zheng family at all!"

"The most capable person in the Zheng family is Zheng Shu. Earlier, when he was appointed as the eldest sister's son-in-law by the former emperor, he thought that the Zheng family was going to prosper, but later Wei Tan's incident happened!" Changyang hummed, "After Zheng Shu was sent to Luoyang, the Zheng family did not have any other outstanding people. The one in Yunzhou is still very good, but now he is also a smart master!"

Yuanxiu said slightly, "What we can think of is that the fifth brother may not have thought of it. In addition, Luanlang is still young, and they can't do anything big after thinking about it."

"Don't underestimate these actions." Changyang reminded, "I have been pinched since I was a child, and now the middle uterus is pregnant. At that time..."

Yuan Xiu frowned and suddenly remembered and told her, "The sixth sister-in-law just arrived, but she was not feeling well. I was just accompanying her with her second sister-in-law."

"Alas, why didn't you say it earlier? I'll take a look!" Princess Changyang frowned and was about to get up. Yuanxiu quickly stopped her and whispered, "She is sleeping after drinking medicine. What are you looking at? It's better to go there later and say a few words.

Princess Changyang gave up and said, "Is she uncomfortable after she came? What's the matter?"

"That's not true. It's said that I haven't slept well for days." Yuan Xiu said, "I was about to ask you, you are outside the palace now. Do you know what happened to King Qiong's mansion and made her bother so much?"

Princes Changyang thought for a moment and said, "I didn't hear anything. Maybe it's a child?"

Yuan Xiu gave a sound and was about to continue asking, but a young man in big red brocade rushed in. A white face turned red, but he looked quite excited. After coming in, he hurriedly saluted his mother. Changsun Mingjing, who was talking to the princess and several noblewomen, raised his head and immediately He scolded calmly, "There are no rules! Don't you know how to salute your aunt, aunt and aunt?

Before Li Zhao said anything, he ran into the three people behind him. It was Li You, Li Luan and Li Xin. Although many of the latter three people have not seen them in the hall now, they happen to be wearing prince dresses today. Now there are not many princes. Just by calculation, you can know who they are. Suddenly, many people stood up and want to give The three kings saluted.

Li Zao was scolded by his mother in public and was not angry. He began to salute on behalf of the princess with a smile, but most people had to salute Li You. After seeing the ceremony, it took a lot of time. After sitting down again, the smile of the eldest grandson Mingjing deepened a little, although Li You, Li Luan and Li Xin were her younger generation. But it is also the uncle and prince. No matter what Fengchun asked them to come here for, it is the face of the head of the king of Qi, so he became more and more pleasant.

Li You's personality was originally to be much silent and introverted. Today, I don't know if he played with Li Zhao of the same age and smiled a lot. Changyang called him to his side after saying a congratulatory message to Changsun Mingjing, wiped his face with a veil and asked, "What have you all played with such sweat?"

"Seven aunts and nine aunts, we played Cuju." Li Zhao came over and said, looking a little worried, as if he was afraid of being blamed. Yuan Xiu couldn't help smiling and stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes and said, "It's okay for you guys to play wildly. Cuju is common sense, but it's so hot today, and you have suffered heatstroke carefully! That's why your eleventh aunt can't come here.

Li Zao was relieved to see her say this and said with a smile, "How dare you let Uncle Ten and his cousins play under the sun? We came out of a side hall, and there were ice basins next to it.

"Since this is still so sweaty?" Princess Changyang looked at the almost soaked handkerchief and frowned. Li You had sat next to him and picked up a herbal tea and drank it slowly. Li Luan and Li Xin were attracted to her side to check. Li Luan replied, "Don't worry, my cousin is right. This sweat was exposed when we came here."

The princess smiled and said, "Lang Jun always sit impatiently, not to mention Lang Jun, where can we sit when we are girls? Just don't hurt your body."

Li Luan smiled sideways and said, "Don't worry, we just sweated a little, nothing."

Yuan Xiu noticed that the youngest Li Xin was a little listless, so he bowed his head and asked him, "Is Xinlang hot?"

"If you go back to Aunt Jiu, I'm not hot. I just want my mother and concubine." Li Xin was young and didn't know how to hide his emotions, so he said the truth. Yuan Xiu glanced at him and thought to himself that Wei Wang was at least four years old. How could Cao Cairen teach him to be so dull, so he comforted him and said, "You go and change your clothes with your cousin first. Look at this sweat, your clothes are soaked."

Li You and others all brought spare robes. After listening to her words, Li Zhao got up and said, "Go to the place where I live and change it. Come back to have a banquet."
