Chapter 209 Returning from the Palace Banquet, but there are visitors
At the end of the update, the jade plate hangs high in the sky, walking in the thin clouds and starlight, leisurely overlooking the world on this night, chanting praise and celebrating this inevitable perfection.
The moonlight is clear and the stars are shining.
But obviously, not everyone will be happy because of this moonlight.
Shen Zheng returned from the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, and Huang was busy holding the evening family banquet. At this time, Yuanying Hall's banquet was over, and it seemed that everyone was happy. Only she felt that her waist and legs were sore and legs were tired - at the day palace banquet, she had to concentrate on socializing and pay attention to take care of Li, who went to the banquet for the first time, to prevent her words and deeds. Fortunately, Li himself felt restrained and did not dare to say much, but she didn't expect that Concubine Qin suddenly made it difficult for Ye Chen, which attracted Liu Niang to contradict her.
The child has been independent since he was a child, very taciturn, and he is not competitive. Unexpectedly, he will fight for Yichen today, so that he is accused of tutoring by Concubine Qin.
This undoubtedly made Huang very angry, but she was used to being cautious. How could she argue with Concubine Qin? She had to blame Liu Niang and restrain her from apologizing to apologize to Concubine Qin. Unexpectedly, the girl was stubborn and stubborn today, but she refused to be soft. Although Mrs. Qin did not dare to really offend the Duke's Mansion and turn around, Qin Concubine Qin The color on the face has never been good-looking.
And today's twists and turns are not just this one.
After the luncheon, she accompanied the Empress Dowager to watch the opera and listen to the music. Xu, who used to be safe and well-round, had another problem. Somehow, she accidentally spilled tea and splashed on Yang Fei's skirt.
Although Xu's failure was saved immediately, she suffered more. Yang Fei's skirt was only slightly stained, but it was also out of honor.
Concubine Yang was cold and proud. Seeing that Xu and Concubine Zhuo were very enthusiastic, she only thought that Xu was doing something, so she sarcastically. Concubine Zhuo was at odds with her. When she heard the words, she was unwilling to give up. Despite the many nobles at the palace banquet, she had a quarrel with Concubine Yang. Huang Shi had to come forward to make amend her and calm down.
This incident actually shocked the Empress Dowager. She was single-inting on defending the Xu family and asked the steward aunt around her to mention Yang Fei - you are not in good health and your temperament is becoming more and more impatient. It's worth paying close to. In this case, if you go back to have a good rest, I won't bother you to sit with her.
It swept Yang Fei's face, but it made many ladies look sideways. Although the words were full of compliments, there was a little jealousy in her expression.
Huang was more careful when she socialized. She had to think twice about everything she said. After a few hours, she only felt exhausted.
After returning home, I still had to have a family banquet, accompany the eldest princess to enjoy the moon, and dared not show a tired attitude at all.
The Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is like a battle for Huang.
When the banquet ended, everyone had to rest. Huang still had to stare at the servants to clean up the aftermath until everything was right. When she returned to He Ruiyuan, she already felt very weak.
At this time, he collapsed weakly on the kang and asked that Duke Wei had not returned to the house. Huang thought that he was still working in the study and ordered him to prepare a snack. He didn't want Yuzhi to ask, but he said that the Duke of Wei was not in the study.
Did he go to Aunt Cui's place today's Mid-Autumn Festival?
Rao was Huang's usual "virtuous". At this time, he couldn't help feeling a little sad and anxious. The resentment accumulated in his heart was gradually strong. He couldn't stand it. He gave an ear to the little maid who was kneeling on her feet and used a beauty hammer to relieve her fatigue: "Such a heavy hand!"
In more than ten years, this is the first time Huang has done something to his servants.
Although the slap was not too heavy, the little maid was also shocked into a wooden stake. After a while, she came to her senses and hurriedly crawled on the ground and cried for forgiveness.
Mother Lan came in with a bowl of snow pear sugar water. Seeing this, she quickly pulled the little maid out. She comforted her a few words, folded in, and gave Yuzhi a wink. She picked up a beauty hammer and beat Huang's calf and said with a smile, "Madam is tired today. There are many things this year. It's really a lot. "Madam, do your job."
Huang leaned diagonally on the hidden sac, her eyelids were slightly, and she gasped for a short breath. It was not until her mood was slightly calm that she asked listlessly, "Where's the wind? Let you stare at her, is she still complaining about me?"
Mother Lan shook her head and softened her smile. Her hands rose and fell evenly and said, "Madam, don't worry about Liu Niang. She is your own child who was pregnant in October, and she can still be separated from you? I had forgotten what happened at the palace banquet. After returning to the room from Yuanyingtang, I was still fascinated by the scroll of books. It was not a maidservant who boasted. If Liu Niang is really a man, she must have a boundless future.
Huang didn't think he liked it, but twisted his eyebrows more tightly: "He is already a book idiot. He doesn't know anything about the world, but Sanlang is naughty. How long has he been enlightened? A single word is still crooked, and the prince often scolds him."
"It's also good for the Duke to be strict with Sanlang." Mother Lan had no choice but to say.
"That's right, I originally agreed to Mother Song's thing, and Luo everyone also stayed in the village for a while. One is that there can't be a stewmaker beside Ba Niang. In addition, Feng'er's wet nurse is not good. I also got up early to let her go back to retire. Is it appropriate for you to look at Luo everyone?"
Mother Lan had already forgotten everyone's mind. Huang mentioned it coldly and thought about it for a while before catching her name and face in her mind. Only she accepted the benefits of the woman early in the morning and promised to recommend her to Liu Niang as a steward. At this time, she pondered for a moment before saying, "That woman is smart, but she is a Greed is inevitably shallow, but it's not as deep as Mother Song. In the eyes of the maidservant, it's better to let her serve the Eight Niang, and the Eight Women are weak, and she doesn't care about these.
Huang was actually not very optimistic about Luo's people. He didn't want her to be by Liu Niang's side. He was very much of Mother Lan's suggestion and mentioned Aunt Cui: "Is she still honest these days?"
"B bitches only have those means of crying. They are sick all day long, and they are tired of looking at them." When it comes to Aunt Cui, Mother Lan raised her eyebrows and was very disdainful.
"Don't underestimate her. If she hadn't blown the wind in the prince's ear, why would she deliberately remind me to take San Niang out to appear?" Huang Shi snorted coldly: "The third girl has been looking for trouble and provoking a lot these days. I know that she is unwilling. The reason why she ignored it is that the prince also knows in his heart how a concubine's daughter can get too arrogant. Unexpectedly, Aunt Cui actually moved the prince."
"How about Ren? Sanniang is not as good as Xiao. How noble is the third prince? Can she still hope to become a prince's concubine? Mother Lan disdained it.
Huang obviously had reservations about this matter and was silent.
For a moment, Yuzhi came back. Seeing that Huang's expression was still a little unhappy, she replied in a low voice: "I went out and inquired carefully. After the prince came out of Yuanying Hall, he originally went to the study, but it was only a long time before the third master invited him to Luoying Hall, saying that it was Chu Wang Shizi is here to discuss something.
When he heard that Duke Wei did not go to Aunt Cui's place, Huang felt a little muffled in his chest. He sat up slightly and said thoughtfully, "In this way, there are three siblings to take care of them. There should be no need to prepare for a midnight snack. All right, prepare for me to bath first."
However, Luoyingtang is the place where Su Zhi and Xu live. In the yard, there are jade osmanthus treetops, several wind lanterns hanging idle, and a round table under the tree, with chrysanthemum wine and tea, sitting around four people.
Xu Shi did a lot and was "forced" to enter the table. Knowing that the prince and the Duke of Wei were concerned about her "harvest" today, they still apologized first: "Originally, in order to be alone with Concubine Zhuo, I had no choice but to think of a way to 'splash tea', and also wanted to anger Concubine Yang, taking advantage of this reason. When I said the right thing to Zhuofei, I only annoyed my sister-in-law and worried about her, and she turned around for me and lost a lot of good words.
Duke Wei repeatedly said, "It's okay" and said with concern, "Has that sister-in-law ever talked to Zhuo Fei?"
Yu Yu was obviously very concerned and listened attentively.
"Originally, Concubine Zhuo and Mrs. Wang, the aunt, were very affectionate. They heard that Mrs. Wang and I were old friends. They were extremely enthusiastic about me. When Concubine Yang made things difficult, they stood up. Later, the Empress Dowager sent someone to 'point' Yang Fei. Zhuo Fei was even more happy and invited me to the palace where she lived to change clothes... Only she talked about Yang, complaining The angry words were endless, and it was difficult for me to interrupt. Later, she hurt herself and cried. I had to comfort her, and it was not easy to change the topic for a while. Xu smiled and said, "Thanks to Jinger later."
"Jing girl?" Duke Wei was wrong: "What's wrong with her..."
"If you want to know the details, you'd better call Jing'er." Xu sold it properly.
Yu Yu seemed to have been surprised for a long time, so he was not shocked. He smiled, raised his eyes to see the stars and the bright moon, waiting for the beautiful woman to come.
He also said that the scenery was "tossed" at the palace banquet. Later, he was enthusiastically pulled to Zhu Tangyuan by Zhu Yingyu, but he didn't expect that his third aunt happened to be there. After a closer look, he saw that the corners of Zhuo's eyes were slightly red, and his heart was even more suspicious... But the scenery "not shocked" and followed Miss Zhuo's indignation, taking advantage of Wei Eleven Niang The stir-up and cleverly led the topic to the case of Southern Zhejiang. Zhang Xian made a "hate evil like hatred" and said a lot of "angry" words, which made Zhuo Fei look down and think deeply.
But she also found the "cunning" in her third aunt's eyes. At that time, beautiful scenery guessed that the third aunt was also "prepared". During their eye contact, at the right time, after tasting Zhuo Fei's good tea, she "retired" with satisfaction.
After returning home, she also planned to find a suitable opportunity to "exchange experience" and "exchange what" with Xu. But because the eldest princess was in a good mood today, the sisters were even more "excited and happy". She had never found a chance to return to Luqingyuan and was not sleepy. She was enjoying the moon in the porch with the maids and was invited to Luoying Hall. .
Yi Jing also intuitively felt that it was for the sake of southern Zhejiang, but he didn't expect Yu Yu to be present.
When she wanted to salute, she was stopped by the curious Duke of Wei and waved her to sit beside her.
"Jinger, why did you go to Zhu Tangyuan today?" Duke Wei couldn't wait to ask.
Yi Jing thought about it for a long time and felt that there was no need to hide it. He said to himself, "It was entrusted by the Third Highness."
In addition to Yu, the three elders were surprised. Su Yi originally guessed that it was the descendant of the prince. Xu also thought so, but he didn't expect it to be about the third prince.
The Duke of Wei was a little worried: "You have no contact with the princes. How can the Third Highness..."
"In the old year, in Tangquan Palace, the Third Highness also lived with the Empress Dowager for a while and often chatted with her daughter... On that day, the Third Highness returned to Beijing, passed through the Xianghe River, and also made a special trip to visit her grandmother, so he asked to persuade Concubine Zhuo." Yijing briefly explained, and detailed the dispute between the noble women at today's palace banquet. Finally, he mentioned what happened in Zhu Tangyuan: "When it came to Zhu Tangyuan, Ayu couldn't help complaining about Aya and A Liu, saying that they didn't take the Shangshu Mansion in their eyes, and even disrespected the crown princess in their words."
Xu smiled and said, "That's exactly what happened. At that time, I was worried that I couldn't find a chance. Several little women came to make a scene, which made Zhuo Fei even more angry."
"I just mentioned Peng Sanniang. Wei Eleven immediately said that the Yang family was bullying and lawless in Ninghai. Peng Yushi had mastered the evidence, and A Yu also agreed with it repeatedly. The two of them said a word, and later they actually said that they suspected that Yang's father had secretly communicate with Qin Xiang and took this opportunity to splash on Jin Xiang. The words of sewage... Follow Zhu Fei and talk about the earlier dispute with Yang Fei, and say that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and it is even unfair for us. Yijing still felt wonderful when she thought of Zhu Tangyuan's anger at that time: "Later, I advised that as long as Yang Tong knew that she was guilty, how could Concubine Yang be domineering."
If Xu said this, it would inevitably show its traces, but the beauty was just a cardamom girl, and Wei Eleven Niang and Miss Zhuo echoed and greatly appreciated it. They all said that the scenery was extremely elegant and the eldest princess, and she was a "woman hero" who was "thugalous as evil" and did not show any intention.
"As a result, I was mentioned a few words by the third aunt." The scenery spit out the tip of his tongue.
Xu smiled and said, "I feel like I'm giving help in the snow, but I still have to warn a few little girls not to discuss political affairs, and I just find an opportunity to send them away to talk to Zhuo Fei."
"The third aunt gave me a look, and I understood." The scenery is very comfortable.
Duke Wei clenched his fist, coughed helplessly, and shook his head: "At such a young age, he has the courage to intervene in politics."
"Father, it's just a big talk, not a mountain of knives and a sea of fire." Yijing bit her lip and still looked like a little daughter: "Although I don't know what will happen to the third aunt, Wei Eleven Niang and Ayu regard me as 'confidants', especially Wei Eleven Niang. The meaning of friendship is quite obvious. It seems that even if this matter has little effect at present, it can still be plotted through Wei Eleven Niang in the future."
The Duke of Wei was stunned for a moment and was amazed by the steps of the scenery.
"There were a few little girl's gags in front of me. What I said later was easy. I advised Zhuo Fei to be cautious about what she said and did. Don't conflict head-on with Yang Fei, and gently reminded her that love is only for a while, and the family is the ultimate reliance. Looking at Zhuo Fei's expression, it should be heard. And thank you very much for me." Xu also said.
Even if you are not sure about this matter, there should be seven or eight points.
Because of the presence of his family, it is difficult for Duke Wei and Su Yu to talk about politics anymore. They actually drink and enjoy the moon and gossip.
Yu Yu saw the beautiful scenery. Whenever he took a shot, he looked at the warning meaningfully and found it quite interesting. Suddenly, he asked, "I don't know where the moonlight of the Duke's Mansion is best?"
Unexpectedly, he asked the master, Duke Wei.
Su Yi is a "understanding person" and has long looked at the eyebrows between the son and his niece. At this time, he smiled gently and asked Yijing, "Does Jinger know?"
"I often go to Muhui Tower and want to come to the high pavilion, and because of the water, it must be good to enjoy the moon." The scenery said.
"Jinger is right. Muhui Building is a wonderful place to enjoy the moon." Su Yi greatly appreciated it and looked at it again: "Is the world interested?"
"So, I want to take a look." Yu Wei smiled softly.
"Jing'er is the master, and he has to treat the son well." Xu is also very knowledgeable.
So, before Duke Wei recovered, Xu arranged for two juniors to leave. Naturally, she would not disturb the two brothers to discuss political affairs and told the maids to wait well and go back to the house to rest.
The Duke of Wei was very puzzled: "Is Muhui Tower really suitable for enjoying the moon?"
Su Yi was very surprised: "The eldest brother doesn't know? It seems that... I haven't been to Muhui Building with my sister-in-law."
