Chapter 401 Above the palace banquet, each has his own thoughts
In the royal garden, the osmanthus is fragrant, the color is brilliant, the sound is gentle, and the silk bamboo is quiet. This night, the west wind is blowing, Kezhi is ups and down, a plate of jade cicadas shines, and the bright light is thousands of miles.
"Jing girl, come to the side of the mourning family. I haven't seen you for a long time." When the Empress Dowager sat on the chief and talked to the eldest princess on the side, she saw the figure of the scenery passing by and quickly shouted.
In this way, the concubine and the noblewoman of the harem, even followed the voice of the empress dowager and looked at the golden peony clothes, and were getting out of several noble women's banquets, like a young woman with a faint pearl, beautiful jade and a smiling face.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival night on August 15, the beautiful scenery entered the imperial garden since the end of the orderly palace banquet, and was entangled by her long-lost boudoir friends. She danced for a while, and smoothly transferred the glory of public attention to Qin Ziruo, the newly released talented girl of this spring's forest banquet, and she saw her own home at a glance. Sister Liu Niang sat alone in the distance and looked at the moon brewing before she wanted to make friends with her. Unexpectedly, she was caught by the Empress Dowager.
The tea banquet to enjoy the moon is not as formal as the dinner. The Empress Dowager is with the eldest princess and the old princess in the chief, surrounded by the queen, noble concubine, Princess Kang and other nobles, as well as Mrs. Jianninghou, Mrs. Wei Guogong, Mrs. Kong, Mrs. Zhen and other noble women, all of whom are all elders. Now she looks at the beautiful scenery with loving eyes. Under the head cover, she was surrounded tightly. She didn't dare to slow down. She smiled and stood beside the old princess and gave a blessing to the empress dowager first: "Empress dowager, I am the judge today. The little ladies are busy pleasing me. It was so easy to get out and thinking of finding a quiet place for a while."
"You can't be biased. If you are unfair, you will be punished." The Empress Dowager looked at the beautiful scenery and knew that she had a good life after marriage. She was happy and teased a few words before letting her go.
The wife of the prince's mansion saw the beautiful scenery walking towards the osmanthus shade in the west, but quietly left the table and followed her. When it became quieter and quieter, she gently called Jinger to stay. Yingjing had to stop and helplessly glance at Liu Niang more than ten steps away, and turned to meet people with a smile.
"Are you really here to hide in silence?" Mrs. Xie picked up the scenery that wanted to see the salute and pointed to a pavilion not far away: "There is no one there. Would Jinger like to sit and talk to her aunt for a while?"
At today's moon banquet, although the male guests and women's dependents are not sitting together, they are only separated by the red felt dance array. They sit tired with the banqueters, or have the need to stretch their muscles and bones, or have the need to "dress". Of course, there is no real "no one" in the imperial garden, but there are indeed no guests in the pavilion, just standing around. Just a few maids.
Yijing knew why Mrs. Xie's "active show his goodwill" was. At this time, it was not easy to refuse. Mrs. Xie took her arm and went to the empty pavilion. After a few noise, she finally mentioned the topic: "I don't treat Jing'er as an outsider. Some words should not have been mentioned at the palace banquet, but they exist in my heart, uncle My mother always felt uncomfortable... To tell you the truth, my third mother did something ugly at the beginning. She shouldn't have done it, and Zhou'er also had it. Originally, it was a good thing, but my sister-in-law was confused and thought for Zhou'er's sake... Alas, my aunt really felt ashamed of you."
The elders "condescending" and apologized. Naturally, the scenery could not be indifferent, but she felt that Mrs. Xie was too eager. Even if she was thinking about her daughter's marriage, when it was difficult to talk, she chose to go to the palace banquet and simply said directly, "Uncle, don't worry, I have forgotten this matter for a long time. In the back of his head, the son never thought he was guilty, but his aunt also knew that I had a good relationship with Wei Eleven Niang. When my daughter's family gossiped, she mentioned to me about the fourth brother in the family. Everything else was good, that is, he couldn't read books and loved to play with a group of dung bets. For this, Wei Xiang did not punish him a little.
Yijing really feels that Wei Silang is not a good match. When the new system is implemented, he is afraid that he will not even get an official position in the future and can only rely on his father and brother to support him.
Mrs Xie sighed: "I also know this matter. Only the Duke of Zhen looked at a title. In fact, it has long been empty. Wei Xiang has only two sons, and the eldest son has become an official. In the future, he will always help his brothers and sisters. I don't want anything else. I can't watch Si Niang marry into a poor family. If the children are really promising, they will not I hope to have a helpless in-law."
This is also true. Xie Si Niang's marriage is really a little high or low. Mrs. Xie inquired about the Wei family Silang, but at least he is the youngest son of the family, who is quite favored by Mrs. Wei. Wei Xiang's eldest son is not a narrow-minded person. He will not care about his siblings. Even if he will not help him become an official in the future, The Wei family is also a big family, and the family is very rich. If the daughter is married, as long as she serves her parents-in-law, has children, and settles in the inner house, she will not suffer in the future.
This beautiful scene of "mother's heart" can't be understood for the time being, but since Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, she thought that Yu Yu once said that she could not ignore the face of the Duke of Zhen, so she readily accepted it: "Mrs. Wei happens to be here today. I will introduce my fourth sister to Eleventh Niang, aunt later. Don't worry, Eleven Niang and I are originally confidants, and we will treat our fourth sister like me.
Mrs Xie was really surprised to see that the scenery was so happy. She did not expect the scenery to negotiate this marriage. As long as she gave an attitude to let Mrs. Wei understand that the Dugongfu did not hate the Zhenguo Mansion because of that incident, there was room for turning around.
Yijing finally got out again. Seeing that there had been no shadow of Liu Niang in the shade of osmanthus, he had to turn around and go to the crowd. She suspected that the sixth sister didn't know where she had gone to find inspiration again. She was hit on her shoulder and almost didn't stagger. She turned around and saw that she was indeed Princess Pingle.
"Why did the big red man fall off his list now? When he saw you sneaking from afar, he thought he was going to play a private meeting with Yu Yu." Princess Pingle's words were still rough and direct, causing several noble women to look at this side in a daze, blushing and smiling secretly.
Yijing was very helpless. She hurriedly took the second sister who was waiting for the boudoir but was full of words and went to a quiet place. Before she could speak, she was pulled by Pingle and staggered and said angrily, "It's really boring to hear these daughters pulling inland fat gouache and clothes and jewelry. Let's go to the Holy Land and talk to Wei Yuan. I heard Today, he is the judge of the Langjuns. My third brother is determined to win the championship and beg a talented woman as his wife. I, a sister, have to try my best to plead for him, otherwise with the little ink in his stomach, let alone win the top ten.
King Kang's son has not been married or made a prince. He is 16 years old and frivolous.
Yi Jing couldn't wait to hold a osmanthus tree to get rid of the "passion" of Pingle, and persuaded her with tears and laughing, "Although it's not as formality as in previous years, it's not good to go to the male guest so clearly, let alone cheating in front of the saint. Second sister, please spare me. Why don't you pull Anhui? Why didn't you see her today?"
As soon as this topic turned off, Princess Pingle immediately forgot Wei Yuan: "Speaking of Anhui, she was not pulled around by your second aunt, and there was nothing to say in front of several Shangshu ladies. I listened to it. Even I could hear what your second aunt said was to beat other people's daughter's calculations. It's really funny. Even today's banquet , the original intention of the Empress Dowager and the Empress is to make talented and beautiful women achieve good stories, and there is no such thing as your second aunt, right? Does she have so many sons?
Binjing:......
It seems that Xiao Xie is really not very optimistic about Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yue has a long way to go.
Huang Jiangyue was really anxious at this time. Today, she went to the banquet with Mrs. Hou and felt that it became the focus as soon as she arrived. The deep eyes of the noble women made her feel cold on her back. She was careful and care about everything during the dinner, and she didn't even dare to turn her face slightly, let alone watch where Yuzhou was.
Instead, he met Xiao Xie, and the arrow-like eyes made Huang Jiangyue's heart cold and wet his temples.
When she arrived at the Royal Garden, the queen personally took Mrs. Jianning and Hou to sit down, and praised Jiang Yue with a pleasant face. She asked Yichen to take her to sit at the noble daughter's table. Huang Jiangyue eased a little nervousness. Because of the people sitting around, Wei Eleven Niang, Peng Sanniang and Zhuo Nianyu were all as good as beautiful scenery. They did not look at the monk's face and Buddha's face. , it will not alienate Huang Jiangyue, let alone embarrass her. Jiang Yue is also at ease, and there is an active atmosphere of the Seven Niang of the Duke of Wei, which is very lively for a moment.
Unexpectedly, when the scenery and Princess Nanyang passed by, she was seen by the sharp-eyed Wei Eleven Niang and immediately caught it. This attracted several little women around them and flattered them, as if the stars were holding the moon, which made Jiang Yue's heart sour, and she heard that the scenery was today's "main judgment", more like a huge stone pressing down on the head-- She knew that in Yijing's mind, she was still worried about the fraud of the Fanglin banquet, and because of the last private meeting with Su Erlang, she despised her more and more. This time she wanted to take this opportunity to "restore the family's voice". Wouldn't she take advantage of the opportunity to make a "main judgment"?
Huang Jiangyue's mood is falling to the bottom.
It also misassessed today's situation. Although it is in the imperial garden and has the opportunity to move around, Jianning Houfu is "in the limelight". Even the sixth sister who has been married dares not take another step, say one more word, and only sit with her husband's sisters-in-law, not to mention her waiting for the boudoir? If the "private meeting" with Yu Zhou is left in the eye again, the reputation will be completely destroyed.
I have to look for another opportunity.
On the other side, it was hard to get rid of Pingle and persuaded her not to look for Wei Yuan even if she was "fraudulent". She only quietly informed Yu. Don't disturb the emperor. Looking at Ping Le vigorously around the red felt and holding a waiter, he was probably asking Yu's seat. Through the dancer's red sleeves and green waist, she could also Seeing the "vibration" caused by the sudden intrusion of Pingle in the male guest seat opposite, Yijing wiped her forehead and turned back to her seat.
At present, her identity is different. Of course, the seats are in the clan room. She is surrounded by prince concubines, princesses and side concubines. As soon as she sat down, Princess Kang asked Pingle where she was going. When she heard that she had gone to the male guest, she was not surprised. As if she had expected, she became more and more curious. Good How on earth did Princess Bikang, such a dignified and virtuous mother, raise such a daughter as Pingle, who is free and unconstrained by dogma?
Concubine Qin also sat in this row, glanced at the scenery coldly, and said, "Concubine Kong, weren't you still asking Jing just now? The Lord finally sat down, why did you ignore her?"
The third prince's side concubine Kong was talking and laughing with the fourth prince's side concubine Bai Shi. She looked at several noble women who had already waving on the bookcase with ink. Hearing the words, she was slightly stunned and casually glanced at Concubine Qin. If there was a substantial look, she stared at Yijing: "Yes, I have been thinking about Ajing for some time, but you I'm too busy to see anyone." The corners of the lips are raised, not like a smile but like a joke.
Although Kong is only a side concubine, but relying on a surname, she is always domineering. Probably, she was soft in front of the third prince and the empress dowager. And because she saw Qianpan, she was more and more sure of the previous rumors. She only regarded beautiful scenery as a rival in love. For a moment of jealousy and hatred, she wanted to stab a thorn with Qianpan. The sentence "The prince's mansion bought a new one. A maidservant, looking at seven or eight points similar to A Jing, felt that "Nahan" had come to her mouth and suddenly remembered the warning of the third prince at the beginning - if she dared to mention half a sentence of Qianpan's appearance in public, even the mother would not let you go!
Confucius almost swallowed the sarcastic words, but snorted inexplicably.
Bing was helpless. She knew that she was jealous and hated. She could still understand Concubine Confucius. She didn't know that the fourth prince, Qin, was born again. When Qin, was originally in the boudoir, although she was cold and arrogant, she would not stab at people. Since she married the fourth prince, her temperament became more and more strange, and she regarded all the women in the world as enemies, nor Knowing how unhappy the days were, she developed the appearance of such a jealous woman.
"Jing, after the palace banquet, the prince's mansion will also organize an autumn banquet. It should have been submitted an invitation, but I was afraid that you would not be honored, so I wanted to take advantage of today's face-to-face invitation. You can tell the truth and refuse to come."
