Chapter 79 See Conspiracy Again 4
In the evening, Jiu'er went to the kitchen to get the meal. First, after serving Xia Mengning, she cleaned up and retreated. Zhulian also hurriedly ate a little and rushed to serve Xia Mengning to bathe.
Jiu'er went back to her room and thought about embroidering the boots for her brother for the winter. When she took the needle and thread basket, she suddenly remembered the purse she had picked up a few days ago and couldn't help looking at it again. When she remembered that day when the man in black saved her, Jiu'er's face couldn't help turning slightly red.
Who is he? Why do you think he is familiar with him?
"Jiu's sister, Jiu's sister..."
Wu Qinggang came back from the outside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiu'er in a daze. "What are you thinking?"
Jiu'er was shocked, and the purse in her hand was not firmly held. Wu Qing caught it quickly, took it in her hand and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Oh, Jiu'er, how can you have a man's stuff? Say, do you have the right person?"
Hearing Wu Qing say this, Jiu'er's face turned red, "No, I picked it up on the street, and I have to give it back to others."
With that, he got up to grab it. Wu Qing was not so easy to return the thing to her. He deliberately dodged left and right in his hand. "If you don't say where it comes from, I won't give it to you, or... I'll show it to the young lady."
Jiu'er panicked, and her tears were about to come out. "Oh, Wu Qing, give it to me quickly. This is not my thing. Give it to me."
When Wu Qing saw that Jiu'er's eyes were red, she immediately gave her purse to Jiu'er in fear. "Good sister, I'm just joking with you. Don't cry."
Jiu'er took the purse angrily and sat on the stool on one side and was angry. Wu Qing walked over and put on a grimace, "Don't be angry!"
Seeing Wu Qing squeezing her eyebrows, Jiu'er couldn't help laughing, but still stared at her and said, "Don't bully me in the future."
Wu Qing nodded, moved a small chair and sat in front of Jiu'er. He supported his chin and said, "You haven't said it yet. Where did this come from?"
Jiu'er looked at the purse in her hand and said, "I said, don't tell anyone." Wu Qing blinked his eyes and nodded desperately.
Seeing that Wu Qing looked very sincere, Jiu'er told Wu Qing what happened that day and finally said, "This thing must have been accidentally dropped by the person who saved me. I have to put it away. In case I touch him one day, I can return it to him."
Wu Qing smiled exaggeratedly and said, "You don't even know what your parents look like. How can you pay it back?"
Jiu'er was asked. She opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. After a long time, she stood up and said, "Anyway, I think I will definitely meet him again."
——————————
Dingxi Palace, tonight is the monthly family banquet of the royal palace. Everyone must come to Qi. The maids are calmly and orderly serve a plate of delicious food. The eldest grandson sits on the top. Next to him is the princess Zheng Hanxiu and the side concubine Meng Xianya. The eldest grandson is sitting on one side, and the son of the side concubine Meng Xianya, the eldest grandson is sitting on the other side.
There are also a group of beautiful concubines in the house, all sitting at another table.
After the meal, a maid brought tea to rinse her mouth. Meng Xianya brought a cup to Changsun Zhi, and then handed another cup to Zheng Hanxiu. Seeing that both of them gargled their mouths, she brought it over and rinsed herself.
Zheng Hanxiu took Meng Xianya's tea and rinsed his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the ** in the house has been open, and our house has not been lively for a long time. Why don't you let your concubine post in a few days and let the daughters in the capital come and enjoy it?"
Changsun paused and said, "Oh? Really? It's the ** season again. Well, you have been responsible for hosting it in previous years, and this year's chrysanthemum banquet is also up to you.
Meng Xianya followed and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son of each family has been invited in previous years. It's better to post this year. I heard that the third lady from the prime minister's mansion has won the emperor's reward. I think she must be extraordinary intelligence. I just take this opportunity to invite her to the royal palace to have a look. What kind of girl is it? People can get the favor of the emperor.
Changsun Yun drank the tea in his hand, and a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes stared at Meng Xianya, who was talking. "Xian's side concubine is really leisurely. Why did I hear that a new deputy general is being selected in the barracks recently? My younger brother has also been a leader for several years. Why can't I choose this time?"
With that, a smile overflowed from his lips. He looked at Meng Xianya and said provocatively, "My father has always valued my younger brother, but my younger brother's qualifications are not satisfactory. If Xian's side concubine has spare time to take care of other people's affairs, it's better to think more about his son."
Meng Xianya's face turned pale, but she was in front of the prince, and she couldn't refute in front of him, so she had to force a smile and bow her head without saying a word.
"Rier, how about this audition?" Changsun Zhi was reminded by Changsun Yun's words, looked at Changsun Li, who was sitting below, and asked.
Changsun Li is the son of Meng Xianya. He is only three years younger than Changsun Yun. He has no talent for studying, so he went to the barracks early and barely got a position as a counselor by virtue of his identity, but everyone knows that the general only looks at the face of King Dingxi, and he can't let the son of King Dingxi be in the barracks with that. A group of soldiers mixed together.
The eldest grandson was embarrassed and stammered, "Father, the child is incompetent..."
The eldest grandson took a look at his son and sighed. In fact, he didn't care about the difference between the concubines. After all, he only had two sons, and he loved them in his heart, but this little son was really not good enough. He had been in the military camp for so many years, but he couldn't even get along with a deputy general.
Changsunzhi looked at his eldest son again. He was brilliant, proficient in martial arts, and extremely intelligent, but he had a stubborn personality and had to do everything against him.
Changsunzhi's eyes hit the two sons a few times, and suddenly felt upset, "Go back." After saying that, he stood up alone and walked out.
Changsun Yun also stood up, looked at Meng Xianya contemptuously, smiled a few times, and turned away.
Meng Xianya and Changsunli also stood up, but Zheng Hanxiu stopped Changsunli, "Rier, don't go now."
Meng Xianya took care of the whereabouts of Changsunzhi and was afraid that it would make him unhappy because of this matter, so she didn't care about her son. She hurriedly gave a blessing and turned around and chased after Changsun Zhi.
"Mother!" The eldest grandson shouted respectfully.
Zheng Hanxiu smiled and said, "Yingzhu, go to the house and bring my new hundred-year-old mountain ginseng to the second young master."
The eldest grandson waved his hand quickly, "No, mother, the child can't accept it."
Zheng Hanxiu smiled kindly: "Since you call me a mother, that is my child, it's not that you don't know that I can't have children, so these things are useless. It's better to give them to you. You always stay in the barracks and must have suffered a lot. This mountain ginseng is the best way to nourish your health."
Changsun Li heard her say this, so it was difficult to refuse. Thank you for taking it. Zheng Hanxiu stood up and touched his head. "The autumn wind is cold. I made a thick dress for you. Go to the inner room and try it."
Changsun Li no longer refuses, because this direct mother is usually so good to herself that she simply loves herself more than her own biological mother.
After changing his clothes, Changsunli came out. Zheng Hanxiu covered the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's so beautiful. Li'er has also grown up. Do you have a favorite girl?" Changsun Li blushed when he was asked by this sentence. He didn't know what to say. He stayed in the barracks all year round and came into contact with old men. Where did the girl come from?
Zheng Hanxiu looked at the expression of the eldest grandson and knew one or two. He whispered, "Nothing happened. You always stay in the barracks, and there is no chance. In this way, there will be a chrysanthemum banquet in a few days. At that time, all the ladies in the capital will come. On that day, you don't have to go to the barracks. Take a look at home. Which girl you like will tell Tell your mother that your mother will help you.
The eldest grandson was happy and nodded.
After talking, Changsunli got up and retreated. As soon as he walked into his garden, he saw his biological mother Meng Xianya sitting in the middle of the room. Changsunli walked over and saluted, "I've seen the side concubine."
Meng Xianya stood up and said, "You are leisurely, but how can I give birth to such a disappointing son as you? If you can't do anything, you can't compare with that stinky boy everywhere."
Changsun Li knew that she was blaming herself for being ridiculed by her eldest brother just now. She failed to compete with her in front of her father, and she was also ashamed in her heart: "My child was wrong."
Meng Xianya was not relieved. When she saw the box in her hand, she walked over and opened it and smiled twice: "I think you regard the princess as your own mother. Don't forget that you are my son, forever."
Changsunli lowered his head and said nothing, but Meng Xianya was even more angry. She knocked off the box, and the white ginseng rolled down from the box and rolled to the door.
"With a little favor from others, I don't know who I am. Are you the direct one, huh?" After saying that, Meng Xianya turned around and walked out. When she went out, she deliberately stepped on the mountain ginseng.
"Second young master..." The little boy went over and picked up the mountain ginseng and looked at the eldest grandson who didn't know what to do.
Changsun Li closed his eyes helplessly and said, "Let it go."
