Chapter 304 Birthday

Princess Qi's birthday was very lively. Changsun Mingjing was originally a girl of Chang'an's family. When she didn't leave the cabinet, she traveled widely. Now most of her former playmates were married in Chang'an - if the king of Qi hadn't been sent out by Emperor Xianzong for the sake of King Qiong, Changsun Mingjing could have continued to stay in Chang'an.

Therefore, as soon as this post was posted, almost all the people received came. The arrival of several princesses outside the palace made her face grow, and even her brother Shuyao was ready to come out to help Zhang Luo.

In such a day, Changsun Mingjing is naturally dressed in a princess dress. On the dark clothes, there is a dark embroidered bird peony, the tooth-colored green Luan is woven into a bream, a pearl buckle is tied at the waist, and there are eight red skirts underneath, a grand four-ring fairy bun full of green silk, the bead ring is green, the collar is hung around the neck, and the golden jade bracelet on the arm is made of In pairs, the long and beautiful ones are continuous, and they want to compete for glory.

Brother Shu Yaoniang is very interesting. She especially wears a pink-embroidered lapel beard embroidered with longevity patterns, and her hair simply took a fallen horse bun and casually inserted two jade hairpins, which is not only convenient to move but also does not take the limelight of Changsun Mingjing. She is not an eye-catching beauty with her appearance, all because she has been raised since she was a child. A pair of natural charming bones, so covered up, there are only four or five points left.

When Yuanxiu arrived, Changsun Mingjing had reached more than half of the female companion in the former boudoir, but she was the first one to be present. It is not surprising. Of course, it is impossible for the two eldest princesses to come to congratulate on the birthday of a younger generation. In the princess's generation, the two princesses Pingjin and Yi'an are far away in the fiefdom, Princess Jiacheng Without asking about the world, I was thinking about going to become a monk after July, and then Princess Changyang has declined. Although the longest princess in the palace is Princess Dongping, this one has been married. Now she is busy and naturally has no time to come, so naturally Yuanxiu came first.

The princess came in person. Although Changsun Mingjing was a sister-in-law, she naturally wanted to welcome her. When she arrived at the car, she saw Yuanxiu being helped down, wearing an embroidered crane and Yuexia shirt, a golden mud and purple lotus silk skirt, and a beautiful dress on her waist. A green boy fell to the edge of the skirt with a fairy peach jade pendant.

"Why did the third sister-in-law come out in person?" Yuanxiu saluted Changsun Mingjing with a smile and said, "I'm late. I must be tired of listening to the auspicious words today. Here I wish my third sister-in-law a happy life like the East China Sea and a long life than Nanshan!"

Xianhe and Xiantao are both mascots related to their birthday. Yuanxiu's dress is obviously specially selected. Changsun Mingjing has nothing to do with her. Now she is naturally very polite: "Ninth sister is still the first time to come to your third brother and sister-in-law. How can she not greet her in person?" With that, he squeezed his lips and smiled, "At the beginning, the ninth sister was still young. At that time, I thought that you would not be inferior to the Empress Dowager Wenhua when you grew up. Now looking at you from the car, you were born like a jade man, which made this court much brighter!"

Is that right? This is also because the third sister-in-law is good at governing the family and tidying up the courtyard well, but what's the reason for me? Yuanxiu half covered his mouth with a fan and smiled and said, "The eighth sister is busy with marriage at this time, so she doesn't have time to go out of the palace today - Liyang was playful yesterday and had a heatstroke by the Taiye pool, so she can't come here today. He asked me to make up for her third sister-in-law. Don't care about it."

"That's what Eleven Sister said!" Princess Dongping didn't come, and Changsun Mingjing had been prepared for a long time. Although Princess Liyang's identity was an accident, Princess Liyang had gone, and it was not from Fengchun's mother. She was young. She was really not sure whether she would come or not. Changsun Mingjing was really worried. Anyway, Yuanxiu had arrived. Naturally, he didn't care about it. He hurriedly asked, "How can it be so good? Will you have a stroke? Is it better today?"

"It's all palace people who are not careless." Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "Looking at Ruan Fangyi's early departure, the eleventh sister didn't have a biological mother to look at Fu? Yesterday, I ordered Cailu to hand over the upper and lower parts of the Yanchun Hall to the court to deal with it according to the palace rules. In addition, I chose someone to serve the eleventh sister - fortunately, the eleventh sister was not a big deal, otherwise the insighted slave would not have to bother the court and kill her directly!"

Changsun Mingjing was shocked and paid attention to the back of her. Sure enough, there were only blue among the two big maids who rarely left her, and the other was purple. Obviously, she would still stay in the Yanchun Hall to beat the new palace people who went to serve Princess Liyang.

Chang'an has known about the pregnancy in the middle palace for a long time. If it hadn't been for the fact that the middle palace had been pushed all the palace affairs to Princess Yuanxiu, it would have avoided the woman from congratulating her. Without Changsun Mingjing, she would have to go back to the palace to say to the queen. Despite this, the ceremony is also indispensable.

But Yuan Xiucai took over the palace work because Princess Liyang had a full of people in the Yanchun Hall... This is obviously equivalent to saying that the queen is not good at brushing the princess!

Changsun Mingjing changed his mind, but his face was sincerely grateful, "Eleven Sister is fine. Poor boy, now that the day is so big, it's better to be careful."

Yuan Xiu didn't expect her to make a statement immediately. He nodded and looked around and asked, "Where's Zhang Lang?"

"He is now in the study, and the king is restraining him to ask for his homework." Changsun Mingjing raised his only son and bent his eyes with a sincere smile and said, "Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Jiumei for a long time. I asked him to come and show you."

"You have to call me to have a look." Yuan Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Today, my tenth brother Bingluanlang and Xinlang are all here. In a while, they will play together. I'm afraid I can't find anyone if I want to see them!"

When Xu Wang came over, the eldest grandson Mingjing was not too surprised, but Feng Chun's eldest son and second son also came over. She couldn't help but look around and said strangely, "Where are their tenth brother?"

"Lang insisted on riding by himself. When the tenth brother and Xinlang heard this request, I asked the bodyguards to follow them by the carriage. As a result, they entered the gate, but they must ride to the door of the royal palace by themselves. I don't think there are more pedestrians in the square than on the street. It's okay to let the guards watch it slowly, but the sun is too big. , first come to the third sister-in-law to ask for a bowl of water to drink. Yuanxiu said carelessly.

Changsun Mingjing thought about it. Generally speaking, these three are her uncle and juniors. It doesn't matter if they don't greet them in person, but then again, the titles of these three are the same as her husband, and Princess Yuanxiu has said that she wants to drink water. She can't stand here and wait for those three all the time. So what is she Go in with Yuanxiu or wait here...

Yuan Xiu suggested, "Why don't it be better to ask someone to come and welcome the tenth brother? Although they are uncles and nephews, they are almost the same age. Maybe it's more interesting than talking with us?"

Changsun Mingjing took advantage of the downhill and nodded, "Jiumei said it."

The two sisters-in-law walked in hand and took two steps before Changsun Mingjing remembered something and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Ten sisters..."

"She, do you think she will come later?" Yuan Xiu squeezed his lips and said lightly.

Changsun Mingjing is also a smart person. After a little thought about it, he knew the reason. Princess Yunzhou was impeached because she was beaten by Zheng Wei in public when she was traveling with Zheng Wei. She was reprimanded by the queen and ordered to be banned in the palace. The father and son of the Zheng family were also reprimanded. Naturally, it was inconvenient for them to meet during this period. Today is their own. On her birthday, it is natural for the princess of Yunzhou to ask to go out of the palace to celebrate her sister-in-law. The princess is unruly. I think neither the Queen and Prince's Day nor Princess Yuanxiu will embarras her for such a trivial matter - but after leaving the palace, Princess Yunzhou always refuses to give up this opportunity to meet her lover, and this is her turn. Changsun Mingjing's side.

Changsun Mingjing couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said as if nothing had happened, "It doesn't matter."

Yuanxiu smiled and didn't say anything.

When the two went to the back hall, the previous lady in Chang'an suddenly got up to salute Yuanxiu. Yuanxiu smiled and said, "Today, I'm here to congratulate my sister-in-law. Let's use the house gift, and you don't have to be restrained."

In the past, most of the eldest grandson Mingjing's friends were the daughters of the family and the eunuchs. These people have all left the cabinet and married officials. Several of them have met Yuan Xiu several times when they entered the palace. Therefore, Yuanxiu was no longer restrained after saying this. Some of them also laughed and said, "In addition to seeing the birthday star, we have Just wait for your master."

"Isn't it? Your master Zirong looks at it now and feels much better. The other person smiled.

Yuan Xiu squeezed his lips and said, "This is to make the third sister-in-law annoyed me. Obviously, it is the third sister-in-law's birthday, but you just make fun of me? Isn't it to neglect the Lord?"

As he spoke, Changsun Mingjing remembered that Yuan Xiu had just said he was thirsty and ordered people to come up with sap. Everyone drank separately, and a maid came outside to report: "Princess Qiong has arrived."

In fact, Tao Jingnian came behind Yuanxiu at this time and was a little rude. On the one thing, she was a princess, and she had to salute Yuanxiu. Second, King Qiong competed with Feng Chun for the throne, and later Feng Chun won. Now it is the time for them to be the bottom.

Changsun Mingjing listened and said with a smile, "Jiujie, please sit here. I'll go out to welcome your sixth sister-in-law."

"My third sister-in-law just go." Yuan Xiu nodded.

Now that Yuanxiu is the highest in this hall, Changsun Mingjing is not worried that Yuanxiu will be left behind. When she just went out of the hall, someone came forward to talk to Yuanxiu and smiled and said, "Your master came early today. Originally, my concubine heard that she was pregnant in the middle palace. In order to concentrate on the fetus, she entrusted all the palace affairs to your master. I thought that your master may not be If you have time to come, think about how important the power of the six palaces is. The reason why the middle palace is entrusted to your lord is definitely because of your wisdom and ability.

Yuan Xiu didn't know much about the noble woman in Chang'an. When he saw the woman in front of him wearing a fine dress and dressed well. Although it was flattering, it was not disgusting, he asked with a smile: "Madam, please forgive my clumsy eyes--"

Seeing this, the lady was busy in her seat and said, "My concubine's surname is Feng, and my husband is Boling Cui!"

"It turned out to be Mrs. Feng." Yuanxiu turned around and knew the woman's origin. She said quietly, "Madam seems to be older than my third sister-in-law? But is it also a boudoir acquaintance?"

Mrs Feng showed a trace of embarrassment and said with a smile, "Let your master laugh... My concubine came with my husband's fourth aunt." As she spoke, she looked at the person at the head. Sitting on her head was a woman in gorgeous clothes. Hearing the words, she nodded to Yuan Xiu and said in a clear voice, "My concubine is Boling Cui, and my husband's family has died. I used to be an old friend with Princess Qi."

This Cui looked similar to Changsun Mingjing. Yuan Xiu saw her cold attitude and her smile faded. She only nodded and turned her head, saying that she didn't want to talk any more.

When Yuanxiu turned her head, she happened to see a girl in pink walking through the hall. She felt familiar. After thinking about it, she remembered that it was her brother Shu Yaoniang. She couldn't help but think of the experience of Guanlan Tower in the past and Yunzhou. Her expression suddenly looked a little gloomy. Seeing her like this, the people who had wanted to talk to Feng immediately stopped. Live.

There was a little room. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Changsun Mingjing to bring two guests in. In addition to Tao Jingnian, there was also a woman in purple. Seeing this woman in purple, Yuan Xiu couldn't help standing up and saying, "What a coincidence that the second sister-in-law and sixth sister-in-law have arrived!"

"Jiumei is late for us today." Princess Dai is also the daughter of Cui. She has a good relationship with Dai Wang. Although she is older than Changsun Mingjing, she is also more calm. She is also familiar with many people in the hall, especially Feng and Cui, who are still her relatives just now. They were pushed to the first place to sit all the way. Tao Jingnian followed Princess Dai only He smiled quietly, and his expression was quite gloomy.

Yuan Xiu immediately noticed it. He just thought about it and didn't say much. He asked Changsun Mingjing, "Sister-in-law, have those three grinding spirits arrived?"

"They also arrived when the second sister-in-law arrived." Changsun Mingjing smiled and said, "They are all mischievous. Seeing the horse, he also shouted that he wanted to climb up, but he shocked the ten brothers's mount..."

Yuanxiu's face changed!

Changsun Mingjing quickly said, "The guards were watching, so nothing happened, but Zhao Lang was stained. The tenth brother, Luanlang and Xinlang rushed to change their clothes with him and said that they would come back to salute us."

Yuan Xiu was relieved and couldn't help laughing and said, "When they were in the palace, they said that they would come to celebrate their third sister-in-law's birthday. Who would have thought that the royal palace was only thinking about going to play - what kind of birthday is this? Cai Lan, go and call everyone here for me, and you won't be allowed to go until you congratulate me!"

Cai Langang promised to leave, and Changsun Mingjing had already said, "Lan Niang, stay first." Fu smiled at Yuan Xiu and said, "Don't worry, Jiumei. I missed what I said. When I just entered the door, they had already congratulated me. I saw that they seemed to like to play together when they were old and asked them to go in with Zhao Lang, so they didn't come first."

"Since the third sister-in-law is approved, I won't care about them this time." Yuan Xiu turned anger and happy. The sisters-in-law gossiped - most of them were Yuanxiu, the princess and Changsun Mingjing. Tao Jingnian, the princess of Qiong, did not know why today. She always looked unhappy and had few words. After such a moment, Yuanxiu pretended to be confused as usual. The eldest princess and Changsun Mingjing was the master and looked at each other. At a glance, I couldn't but ask, "What's wrong with the sixth brother-in-law? But what's wrong with me here?"
