Chapter 546 is not uncommon
During this year, Mingyue's life was also worried. Although she got the permission of the imperial concubine, she only served Zhi Niang and didn't even arrange the task of exploring. Fortunately, it was really difficult to be reliable. Fortunately, in this year, Yuzhou snuged his wife, but she spoiled Zhiniang a lot in order to please the old princess. Love also saved Mingyue a lot of thoughts to favor Zhiniang, and Huang Jiangyue did not dare to pick Zhiniang again. The life of the two masters and servants lived a light life in Xiyuan.
It was not until recently that Mingyue saw that Zhiniang returned to her sad mood, sighing, and even trembling.
When Mingyue asked, he learned that it was such a sinister thing.
It turned out that Zhiniang was instructed by Xiao Xie to find a way to cheat Ba Niang to play in the Taoran Pavilion in Dongyuan on the birthday of the old princess, sent the maid beside Ba Niang, and let Ba Niang drink the tea with ectics.
Tao Ran Pavilion is located under the shade of apricots in Dongyuan and is suitable for enjoying the cool in midsummer, so it has a soft couch.
Mingyue was shocked after hearing this and reminded Zhi Niang that this was her wife who wanted to plan Su's Ba Niang.
Of course, Zhi Niang knew it, but she said that not only Xiao Xie, but also Yuzhou was present that day, and "persuated" her to act according to the plan.
Although there is an old princess as a support, even if Zhi Niang is not afraid of Xiao Xie's harsh treatment, if even Yu Zhou is completely offended, how can she have any hope in the future? The old princess is an elder. When she is old, can she protect her for the rest of her life?
Therefore, no matter how Mingyue persuades her, Zhi Niang is also determined to follow the plan and does not want to know about the old princess, let alone the scenery.
The reason why she told Mingyue was that she needed a maid to help her, but she was not sure which one to use. The maid brought from the Duke of Zhen was arranged by her mother, which may not be credible. It happened that Mingyue took the initiative to ask, and Zhi Niang made up her mind that Mingyue was originally Yu Zhou's confidant, and she was always loyal to herself and calm. , you should not have two minds, and you are not afraid of panic and messing up your job.
Seeing that Zhi Niang was obsessed with it, Mingyue gave up her advice and simply came to Guan Suiyuan to inform the concubine of the matter.
The imperial concubine was really grateful and promised to keep her safe. She asked that she did not intend to leave the land. She only wanted to find a home under the protection of the royal palace and had no worries about food and clothing. The imperial concubine agreed again and said that she would find a down-to-earth and capable descendant for her in the accompanying room. In the future, they can take care of the shops. If they want, they can also go to the Grange to manage it. Things.
Only then did the bright moon feel reliable for life, and her heart was completely calm, and some people were looking forward to the birth of the old princess coming earlier in mid-July.
Naturally, she made a promise to Zhi Niang - if she could help do this this time, she would ask for a favor and open her face to Yu Zhou's vision of making a formal room.
Langxing has become a house as expected, so what? Still serving by the main room, Erlang was cold and hot, not even as good as the little maid in Guan Suiyuan.
Your honey, my*, and the master and servant, Mingyue thought that she should do nothing for Zhi Niang, and her conscience did not feel that she owed.
Compared with the bright moon, Yu Dong's family's expectations for the old princess's birthday are undoubtedly more enthusiastic.
It is actually helpless for them to let Zhi Niang join in - for Jiang Yue, the Duke of Wei has been on guard for a long time. She can't deceive Su Ba Niang to leave the group, and the concubine of the world suffers own bitterness. Who let her take care of Zhi Niang in order to please the old princess? She is close to Zhi Niang as a sister and sister. If Zhi Niang comes forward, the imperial concubine will not It will be guarded.
In addition, Jiang Yue knew that Ba Niang was a chess idiot, and secretly promised Yu Zhoufang. When Zhi Niang invited her, she would also be close.
Xiao Xie's first time is glad that Zhi Niang has a pleasant title. Otherwise, the ordinary concubine is not qualified to treat guests. An Hui, the eldest daughter of the concubine, has always been at odds with Su Ba Niang. If she can't count on it, can no longer coax Su Ba Niang to leave the table?
There is another advantage for Zhi Niang to come forward. When things start, it can be reversed. She said that Su Banniang had an attempt to persuade her dear fifth sister to set up a trap and plan Yu Zhou.
It is an irrefutable fact that Zhiniang and the imperial concubine have made friends. The Duke of Wei can only suffer this dumb loss, which makes Yu Zhou accept Ba Niang, and it will be difficult to intervene in the affairs of the royal family in the future and support the imperial concubine to suppress the second wife.
If this plan is successful, at least you can rest assured in the future, firmly cling to the king's mansion of Chu to eat and drink for free, and you can also hold the gift in a dignified place and profit from it.
Yu Dong gave a high-five. It was really good to marry Huang Qiniang. There was no narrowness of jealous women at all. Only by thinking about the family could he produce such a wonderful plan.
So under everyone's long wait, more than ten days of time flicked, and the birthday of the old princess came as scheduled.
I really invited a few in-laws.
Most of the men were busy with official business, and it was said that the king's palace was just a family banquet first, so in addition to several male masters of the palace, Su, Chen, Huang, Yin, Xie and Wei were only invited by the women and a few uncles.
Of course, the lunch banquet is still set in the garden. Because of the hot weather, it is simply set in the corridor near the lake. The men's and women's seats are separated by only a picture screen in the middle.
It is inevitable to crisscross, celebrate the birthday, and the atmosphere on the table is harmonious and warm.
After the banquet, it is still a traditional program to listen to the play.
Because it was a family banquet, there was no need to have too many scruples. Several young couples sat in pairs, but Yu Yu did not return. The imperial concubine was "unfortunately" to be alone and mixed into the group of girls, and Zhi Niang, a noble concubine, was not qualified to accompany Yuzhou like Huang Jiangyue, and she was inseparable from the scene.
Ijing listened to several little women whisper and laugh while observing the crowd.
Today, the King of Chu and Yu Dong also sat aside, tasting tea while enjoying the bustle on the stage, which looked very harmonious. Xiao Xie socialized in the lady's group and had a busy hospitality, but her eyes still floated here from time to time. The eldest princess was pulled by the old princess and sat beside her, and another On one side, there sat the grandmother with a good view.
Yes, Mrs. Huang, who has been lingering for many days, is also a VIP today.
The scenery avoids the eyes and smiles slightly coldly.
Although there are only three words and two of Mingyue, and the enemy's plan is not known, it is not difficult to speculate about the scenery - since the eighth sister is going to be stunned, it must cause "catching adultery" in bed, and as for those who "catching adultery"... It is not good to make too much publicity in Yuzhou, and Jiang Yue can move the old princess, let alone the eldest princess, can The only person who cooperates with her is Mrs. Houfu.
Fortunately, what Xu's grandmother thought was that she could hold the handle of the Duke of Wei, so as to improve Jiang Yue's difficult situation. Whether it was Yuzhou or the eighth sister, it was Jiang Yue who suffered. After the success, whether it was the Duke of Chu or the Wei Guo Mansion, it would be difficult to embarras Jiang Yue in the future.
The scenery looked down, and I did not feel resentment or sadness in my heart, but a cold and calm.
Yijing can understand her grandmother's love for Jiang Yue, and she can also understand that she is finally separated from her grandmother, but there is no way to have no grudge. Last time, Jiang Yue wanted to trap her at a disadvantage. Although her grandmother had partial help, she did not take the initiative. Yijing can still be relieved, but this time her grandmother was obviously learning about Jiang Yue. After planning, take the initiative to help, otherwise I'm afraid I will come back to the royal palace without face, and at most send my aunt to socialize.
She knew that from now on, she could only maintain superficial harmony with her grandmother. The past feelings would disappear with this conflict and never return to the beginning.
Yi Jing suddenly remembered what Yu once said - we can't ask everyone to stand on our side selflessly, abandon power and intimation only for the sake of justice, and we can't ask that all our efforts can be rewarded. If we care too much, we only torture ourselves, so we should relax. In fact, we are not for others, but for ourselves. Too much hatred will make the burden too heavy, and it's better to let it go.
So she doesn't hate her grandmother, but she can no longer treat her with impurity.
From now on, it will be estranged.
Next to her, Wei Zhao's cousin talked happily with her two sisters, six and seven, while the eighth sister always seemed silent.
Yi Jing clearly saw that she intended to hide herself in the crowd, but her eyes still turned to Yu Zhou from time to time.
After all, the first heart of the relationship is unforgettable, but after today, the eighth sister should also wake up.
Zi Niang was trying to find a topic and get close to Ba Niang. There was nothing strange about this situation. Because Ba Niang was taciturn, Zhi Niang was at least the master. Seeing Ba Niang sitting alone and suffering from the cold, it was also the master's attentiveness to rush to speak.
Yi Jing deliberately snugged Ba Niang today and only gossiped with the three sisters.
In addition, there are several daughters of the Chen, Yin and Huang families scattered here. Yin Yong's sister still came back to the royal palace for the first time. She seemed a little restrained and took care of most of her.
Gradually, I heard Zhi Niang bring the topic to chess, and Ba Niang's words also increased.
For the few little women who came today, only Ba Niang is a concubine. The distinguished between the noble daughters in Beijing is "clear". Generally speaking, the direct daughter is unwilling to communicate with the concubine's daughter, but as a Zhi Niang who is also a concubine, it obviously makes the Eight Niang feel relaxed.
So when Zhiniang invited Ba Niang to go "Idle", Ba Niang did not refuse.
Because Liu Niang Qi Niang was very familiar with the King's Mansion, she did not think there was anything wrong with Ba Niang leaving the banquet with Zhi Niang, and did not follow. The two chatted with Wei Zhao, but the elders had to suppress some voices and could not have enough fun. They simply asked for the scenery and said that they wanted to go to the Good Hope Building on the edge of the lake to enjoy the scenery and see the little ladies. They all showed great interest and simply agreed to ask Chunmu to wait with them.
Of course, she had to stay here and wait for things to develop, so she found Anran to lead the little women to have fun.
No one cares. Today is the birthday of the old princess. As the eldest daughter-in-law, of course, the concubine is not "playful" and has to stay here as a companion.
So Yijing came to the old princess to talk, still paying attention to the surroundings.
It didn't take long to see the bright moon that should have followed Zhi Niang, but only one side was exposed, and Jiang Yue's eyebrows were far away.
Yu Zhou followed and left the table.
The beautiful scenery is silent, waiting for the river moon.
About two quarters later, the bright moon appeared again.
Jiang Yue knew that this had been successful. In order to avoid it, her plan was to let Zhi Niang go back to Xiyuan for a "meak" after everything was completed, which inevitably made Yijing notice that she returned alone and became suspicious, which disturbed the scheme to "catching traitors".
Jiang Yue also came over and sat next to her grandmother and talked.
It wasn't long before Mrs. Huang apologized and said that she was a little sleepy and wanted to disperse in the garden.
Yijing was concerned: "Grandma is not as good as going to Guan Suiyuan to rest for a while."
The old lady repeatedly said that she didn't need it, and her expression was gentle: "I'm old, but I will have insomnia at night when I sleep during the day. It's good to disperse... Jing girl is not busy, just accompany the old princess at ease and let the moon girl stroll with me."
Yi Jing smiled and thought that she would probably go to Dongyuan. She happened to feel tired when she passed Tao Ran Pavilion. She wanted to rest her feet, but she didn't know... Her grandmother was shocked and angry. After all, she took into account that the king's house of Chu was a relative and didn't want to show it, so she asked people to come back and invite the people of the Duke of Wei to the Wei Mansion to the scene.
It's a pity...
The old princess got up when she heard this: "When the old lady mentioned it, I also felt a little sleepy. Shangyuan, shall we go to the garden together?"
The eldest princess is still hiding in the drum, but naturally she will not refuse.
For Xiao Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, this is unexpected, but it doesn't matter. She only consciously leads to Dongyuan. When she sees Tao Ran Pavilion, will anyone object to Mrs. Huang's proposal to rest? It happened that everyone witnessed the scene with their own eyes, which was a shock!
So the old princess was tired of the guests and did not let the guests move: "It's hot outside. It's cool to sit here. We are old and feel bored after a long walk. Let's go back after a little stroll. Everyone, sit down." Xiao Xie was stopped again: "You also stay here and greet your good relatives. It's good to have Jinger Yueer to accompany us."
Xie didn't mind. She didn't want to get into this matter at all. She should stay to preside over the overall situation. She couldn't help but let her son's affair publicize. She only deliberately told Jiang Yue: "But you have to serve well. Don't let the elders disperse for too long and get heatstroke."
Jiang Yue immediately suggested: "It's cool under the apricot shade in Dongyuan, and there is just a Taoran Pavilion. Don't go there to enjoy the cool."
So the party went smoothly to Dongyuan under the guidance of Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue also very considerately told the maids around her to go to Taoran Pavilion to prepare tea first.
Yijing was courteous and did not intervene.
While enjoying the landscape and gossiping, the three elders took advantage of the shade under the corridor before they arrived outside the Taoran Pavilion in the shade of the apricot trees in Dongyuan for two hours.
A sudden exclamation——
Jiang Yue heard that it was her maid who sent it out, and then asked seriously, "What's going on?"
Then another maid entered. For a moment, two maids came out together and knelt on the ground with a pale face.
The old princess's mask was frosty, and she also asked in a low voice, "What's going on!"
Only then did the maid tremble and said, "It's Erlang..."
Jiang Yue's expression changed greatly, and she was so happy: "Daughter-in-law, go and have a look." Then he staggered to Tao Ran Pavilion.
She quickly turned back and knelt on the ground without saying anything. Her eyes suddenly burst into tears and were not full of panic: "Two grandmothers, please take the decision for the two concubines..."
