Chapter 59 Birthday Banquet

September 19th, the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the laughter in the palace.

Zuo Zhaoyi and Qu arrived early with Princess Xiping and Ling Xianren holding Princess Changkang. When the Empress Dowager saw her, she looked kind and waved and smiled, "Why did you come so early? Ai's family still thinks that your hall is lively now. I'm afraid you have to slow down before you come.

"I also thought about coming back later, so as not to make trouble with my mother!" Qu smiled and took Princess Xiping to salute before saying, "I don't want to. Xiping got up early this morning without being urged. He picked up his skirt and urged me, saying that he was in a hurry to celebrate his mother's birthday!"

While talking, Princess Xiping knelt down again cleverly, kowtowed her head solemnly, and shouted, "Granddaughter Yutong, I wish my grandmother a long and happy life!" He kowtowed again and said, "I also wish Liang Guozuo Mianchang, my father and mother concubines, as well as Yutong's brothers and sisters, all last for a long time and a happy reunion!"

Although the Empress Dowager Gao doesn't like Ji Shen's concubines, she loves her grandchildren. Even if the eldest son is raised under her knees, the only prince is more precious than the princesses, but anyway, Xiping is also her blood, and Xiping did not leave it for the Empress Dowager Gao like Princess Xintai. The impression of being sympathetic to her hands and feet, now that she is full of flowers and worships her birthday, and she is more and more happy. She quickly calls her left and right to help her up, calls her side, takes her hand and said with pity, "Xiping's mouth is really sweet to the heart of the mourning family!"

Princess Wen also smiled gently and said, "I think the princess's words are sincere and sincere, which makes people feel sweet and heartwarming!"

"Your words are also sweet and heartfelt." Empress Dowager Gao glanced at her with a smile and said.

However, Princess Xiping is young now. Even though this sentence was taught by the Qu family, from the mouth of her own granddaughter, it was especially comfortable, not to mention that Xiping didn't have to be called out in order to celebrate her birthday today. The Empress Dowager Gao pulled her left and right and looked more and liked it more, and couldn't help brushing a string of glazed beads on her wrists for her. ! "The first time you came here today, your grandmother will give you an extra good thing."

This string of glazed hand beads was the dowry of the Empress Dowager Gao. Because the wife of Wuying County often entered the palace these days and told her about the old story of the boudoir, the Empress Dowager Gao sighed and asked Song to find it for a long time. Although it may not be more valuable than her usual, it is far more meaningful than it.

Princess Xiping took it, but said sweetly, "Grandma's words are wrong. Granddaughter is not the first to arrive!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Gao and Princess Wen both laughed together. The Empress Dowager Gao said to Princess Wen, "It's hard for this child to know how to honor his elders at a young age!"

Princess Wen smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is talking about the younger generation. Your Highness can rest assured to continue."

"It's not the first granddaughter among the grandchildren to arrive." Princess Xiping said, "Didn't the eldest brother arrive earlier than his granddaughter?"

"After the mother, the child will help his younger brother and sister get rewards." At this time, Qu said with a smile, "In the past few days, I have asked her for all kinds of things, each of which is to eat food. She is also thinking about asking people to write down and wait for Changkang to eat when he grows up. Now I have to prepare two copies of everything before talking to her!"

Empress Dowager Gao was moved and said, "Do you like your younger brothers and sisters like this? Are they all still young now?"

heard Princess Xiping carelessly and said, "The mother said that her granddaughter is not big. The mother and granddaughter talked about the interesting things about her childhood. There were seven or eight cousins alone, as well as brothers and brothers, today's uncles, uncles and uncles and uncles. They climbed trees and went into the water to catch fish together. The granddaughter liked it very much. It's just that the concubine said that these things are fun with many people. There is only one granddaughter, and even if she pulls Xintai's sister, there are only two, but it's boring, so of course, the granddaughter hopes that there are more younger brothers and sisters, grow up quickly, and it's easy to play together!"

Hearing her naive and eager speech, Empress Dowager Gao condensed for a moment before laughing again: "Good boy, are you afraid that there will be no more brothers and sisters to play with you after you say this? You are the eldest daughter of my royal family. In the future, my brothers and sisters will take you as their elders. You have to take them to play!"

Princess Xiping looked surprised, but then became distressed and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter knows that she is the eldest sister. She should let her brothers and sisters, and also be a model for her younger brothers and sisters, but... just..."

Seeing her suddenly, Empress Dowager Gao said strangely, "What's the matter?"

Princes Xiping's face was slightly red. She looked back at Qushi and saw that she only smiled narrowly and didn't answer. Then she turned to the Empress Dowager and said shyly, "My granddaughter's embroidery work can't be done. Not only did I ask her when I met Aunt Yuyang, but I also asked the embroidery mother in the palace, but I couldn't do anything well. Previously, the mother-concubine loved her granddaughter. , saying don't do it. The royal grandmother loves her granddaughter and won't blame her, but her granddaughter heard that her cousin Aoyang embroidered a screen for her grandmother a few years ago. Her granddaughter thought that she was not as good as Aunt Aoyang, so she wanted to embroider a small thing, but she still couldn't do it for a few days. This... embroider, and the sisters don't learn from their granddaughter in the future. Is that all?"

Halfway through these words, the Empress Dowager Gao and Princess Wen had a smile in their eyes. When she finished speaking, they all laughed and said, "Yes, yes, since you are not good at it, you don't have to learn, otherwise how can the imperial grandmother not feel distressed?"

Princess Wen said again, "At that time, the owner of Aiyang County embroidered the screen, he was more than twice as old as His Highness is now. Your Highness will have this heart, and your grandmother will be very happy!"

After the grandparents and grandchildren were so happy and there were more people, Princess Xiping obediently retreated and returned to the Qu family and sat down obediently.

While avoiding everyone's courtesy, the Empress Dowager Gao asked Princess Wen in a low voice, "Is this word taught by Mu or Qu?"

"In my opinion, I'm afraid there are more Mu Guangyu." Princess Wen said, "After all, Princess Xiping is not the biological birth of Mu Guangyou. Now Mu Guangyou is pregnant again. I think it is because Princess Xiping has been raised for these years, and now Mu Guangyou insists on giving birth in the palace. This is afraid that she will be separated for a long time and she will be estranged from Princess Xiping. At that time, the mother and girl will have a gap... This is taught in advance. "Princess Xiping's beloved sister-in-law!"

"Although my heart is more selfish, I have this heart, which is much better than those who only look forward to the good things of their own children." When Empress Dowager Gao heard the words, she nodded slightly.

Princess Wen smiled and said, "Since the Empress Dowager praised Mu Guangyu's dedication, she can't help but praise the other person's demeanor."

Empress dowager Gao heard that she meant Zuoyi and Qushi - although this was taught by Mu Biwei, Xiping has been back for some time. How can she remember it for so long? I'm afraid it's still the result of Mu Biwei's people around her. Now Princess Xiping is raised under Qu's knees and wants to say this in front of the empress dowager. How can it be possible without Qu's permission or acquiescence?

After a slight meditation, the Empress Dowager Gao said lightly, "The young man's demeanor is indeed within people's ability."

Princess Wen smiled as if she had said nothing. However, she knew that the Empress Dowager Gao was more and more suspicious of Zuo Zhaoyi... This showed her demeanor. In the past, when there was no prince other than the eldest son, the Empress Dowager Gao thought that this was a good tutor of the Qu family, but now, she can't but doubt that she was pulling people. Heart...

In the middle of meditation, I saw a touch of bright red and arrogant entry at the door of the palace - it was the noble concubine Su who arrived.

............................................................

Because the Empress Dowager is not have a birthday this year, there is no big deal as usual, but it is a reunion of the clan, and only a few foreign relatives have arrived. Naturally, Mrs. Wuying County and Mrs. Rongchang County are all listed. I don't know if it is because the princess of King Gaoyang has been decided. Several little ladies and Xiaolangjun of the Gao family will come here. Naturally, it comes the kind that Ji Shen won't like, so as to avoid twists and turns.

After celebrating her birthday, the Empress Dowager ordered everyone to drink freely, and then called the church to sing and dance. For a time, the silk bamboo in the Summer Palace was long, and the clothes and temples were as fragrant as rain.

Xiping is not very interested in these. She has always had a good relationship with Aoyang. At present, she explained to Zuo Zhaoyi and slipped out of the hall together. Zuo Zhaoyi quickly asked people to keep up.

When they got outside, the two were talking, and Xiping talked to Weiyang about his birthday: "Grandma promised me that I don't have to learn embroidery in the future. My cousin is really awesome. I feel dizzy when I see those threads."

Aoyang said proudly, "Is this a good way? In fact, I only embroidered it once. It's really hard. I won't embroider it later! What are we? These things will not matter. The people who followed the head of Aoyang County hurried up and whispered that the head of Aoyang County should not say bad words on the Empress Dowager's birthday.

This side was whispering persuading the county owner, and suddenly heard that someone in the distance also said the word of death - but - "If Lang Jun pestered the maidservant again, the maidservant would only be killed on this fake mountain!"

Xiping's ear was sharp and immediately said, "I seem to have heard this sound?"

"Isn't it that the maid in the aunt's palace is embarrassed by which one drinks too much here?" After a little older, he immediately thought of the key and said to Xi Ping, "Let's go and have a look."

When the two walked near the sound, they saw a maid, who was not too young, wearing apricot red palace clothes and colorful waist. She was being stopped under a rockery. The maid was beautiful and quiet, unlike ordinary palace people. Although she was stopped, she deliberately raised her voice and expected when she spoke. There are people around who come out to relieve the siege, still looking impatient.

Seeing the maid of honor, Xiping whispered to the head of Weiyang County, "It's not the maid of honor in Qu's mother's palace."

Aiyang asked, "Do you know?"

"It's like Yun Mengru, the close maid of Imperial Concubine Ye." Xiping thought for a moment and whispered.

The two muttered, and they heard Yun Mengru's lazily say, "You maid of honor are so rude. I just asked you to take me to a place to rest. Why don't you?"

Xiping didn't know this person, but Weiyang had seen him. He quietly bit his ear and said, "Oh, why is it him? It's the eleventh of the Gao family, and this person has always been released. Unrespectful, my mother asked me to stay away from him. What should I do now?

Xi Ping said, "He seems to be drunk." Just call Fan Shi, "You go and take the Eleventh of the Gao family to have a rest."

This can also be regarded as a relief for Yun Mengru. Yun Mengru didn't talk much with Princess Xiping because she entered the palace full of things, but Ye Hanxi often went to look for Mu Biwei. She is a smiling and noisy person. Zi, she was familiar with Princess Xiping, and even the people around her were remembered by Xiping. For the sake of Ye Hanxi, she had the intention to relieve her.

Yun Mengru saw Fan coming and recognized the Mother beside Princess Xiping. She was immediately happy: "This Lang Jun, someone came to show you the way. I still want to get what Ye Ronghua asked for. Lang Jun, please do it!"

I didn't want her to move. Fan hadn't come close yet. His arm was tight, but Gao Shilang grabbed her arm and spit out drunk and said, "Who ispatient to ask a wife to lead the way? I just want you to take me there!" He smiled ambiguously, "How many layers of wrinkles are there on this woman's face? How can she serve me to change my clothes?"

After saying this, Fan heard clearly that it was the old lady in the palace, and her expression remained unchanged. She only came forward safely and asked, "Lang Jun was held by Ye Ronghua's personal maid of honor. Ye Ronghua brought her into the palace, but it was inconvenient to lead Lang Jun. Please follow the old slave."

"Get out of here!" Gao Shilang raised his hand and waved her back impatiently, and then grabbed Yun Mengru hard and strode behind the rockery!

Princess Xiping and the owner of Yiyang County were stunned not far away...
