Chapter 22 The eldest princess's birthday, the ghost does not go away

After having lunch in the queen's palace before leaving the palace, Su Qingluan was thinking about the queen's words all the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Zi Tilt's child is too sharp, no matter how many children Yiwen has, her children are all from the main palace, but today she is dissatisfied because Concubine Lin is pregnant, Yiwen and we are too happy. Not to mention that her husband is the crown prince and the future emperor, even the families of ordinary officials do not let the concubines get pregnant before their wives. In the past, I always felt that my son was knowledgeable and courteous, dignified and virtuous, but now it is a little disappointing. ”

Su Qingluan sighed helplessly, it seems that **** things will indeed make people lose their original selves.

Before he knew it, he arrived at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the people on the side, and Su Qingluan strode into the mansion. On the martial arts training ground next to the artificial lake, 90 guards were doing all kinds of physical training, sweating under the noon sun in this hot summer.

Seeing that everyone's cheeks were red from the sun, and sweat was like rain, they still insisted on the task laid by Su Qingluan. Su Qingluan nodded with satisfaction, the guards were women, and their bodies and strength could not be compared with men, so they had to work harder than ordinary soldiers.

Seeing Su Qingluan coming, they all stopped training and saluted Su Qingluan, "Subordinates, see master." ”

Raising his hand, "Go on!" Su Qingluan looked at the simple martial arts training ground in the mansion and thought about something. Then he turned around and left the house.

For a few days, Su Qingluan did not appear in front of everyone, and only she and the guards who accompanied her knew what she was doing. More than 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Qingluan was obviously tanned when he reappeared in front of everyone, but he was radiant and his eyes were shining.

Three days later is Su Qingluan's birthday, originally the queen wanted to do a lot of things for her in the palace, but Su Qingluan wanted to have a banquet in the eldest princess's mansion. In the end, I couldn't, so I had to follow her wishes.

In the blink of an eye, it was June 17, late summer and early autumn, and there was a heavy rain in the first two days, and these days were not as hot as the previous two days, and the occasional wind was also a little cool.

Early in the morning, the subordinates of the entire Eldest Princess's Mansion were busy, and the 100 guards who followed Su Qingluan and the guards in the mansion were responsible for guarding the safety of the Eldest Princess's Mansion today. And all the relevant people in charge of the banquet in the palace today were temporarily transferred from the palace yesterday, and the leader was the housekeeper and grandmother beside the queen.

Therefore, although Su Qingluan's birthday banquet was not held in the palace today, it was prepared by the people in the palace, and all the famous ladies and sons who came to the banquet today were a little incredible.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion has never held a banquet, and most of the people invited to the invitation on Su Qingluan's birthday this time are also setting foot in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for the first time. And the last time the second time he came was when the eldest princess got married three years ago.

Although Su Qingluan is nominally a widow, she is still the object of worship of most of the young sons and ladies in Beijing, so the people who came to the banquet today came early.

However, the guests arrived one after another, and the housekeeper in the house politely arranged for the guests to rest, and this time the protagonist Su Qingluan had not yet appeared, let alone stood at the door to greet the guests, but they didn't dare to say anything, after all, the status was there. Even if their parents came, Su Qingluan would not necessarily come out to greet them in person, let alone them.

In the attic of the backyard, three men and one woman stood together, talking and laughing. Su Qingyuan, Su Qingyu, and Mei Yihua stood by the protruding fence on the third floor of the attic, pointing at the people in the garden below. To be precise, it was Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua who said that the girl of the Li family was beautiful, the girl of the Liu family was good-looking, and Su Qingyu was simply waiting for Su Qingluan.

"I said," Su Qingluan leaned against the door frame and said helplessly to the three unmarried teenagers, "How can you say that this is also the boudoir of this palace, are you a little too unconsiderably an outsider." ”

Su Qingyu's face was expressionless, and he automatically eliminated himself from 'you'.

Su Qingyuan looked like 'we are all our own people', "Sister Huang, you are too stingy, and the boudoir, this attic is so big, you just sleep on the second floor! ”

Not with Su Qingyuan, he turned his eyes, but found that Mei Yihua's gaze was looking straight at a certain place, as if he was attracted by something. Su Qingyuan and Su Qingyu also noticed Mei Yihua's abnormality, the former came up to see it with great interest, and the latter still looked like he couldn't attract his attention in anything.

After looking at it for a long time, he didn't see what Mei Yihua was looking at, so Su Qingyuan simply asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Mei Yihua was recalled by Su Qingyuan's words, "It's nothing, it's like seeing someone I know." ”

Su Qingyuan clasped his hands to his chest and smacked his mouth, "Who do you know?" You know almost all the people you know here, and you know almost all the princes you know, but you tell me who you just watched?"

Ignoring Su Qingyuan's nonsense, Su Qingluan searched carefully along the place where Mei Yihua looked just now, and sure enough, he saw the prime minister's daughter, Li Qinxue. There is also the rich woman who pretended to be Li Qinxue on the painting boat.

After the small gathering in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion that day, Su Qingluan went to investigate Li Qinxue, although it was confirmed that the rich girl who scared Mei Yihua a lot was not Li Qinxue herself, but Li Qinxue did not understand the purpose of doing this.

Li Qinxue and the rich woman's figures gradually blended into the circle of other girls in the garden, and Mei Yihua no longer continued to keep an eye on them.

"Sister Huang, I haven't seen you for a few days, there are a lot of changes in your mansion," Su Qingyuan only had time to watch the scenery of the eldest princess's mansion at this time, which can be described as a new look.

Su Qingyu had already discovered that the layout of the Eldest Princess's Mansion at this time was very different from before, and even the place where she rested had changed and moved to live in the three-story attic. Su Qingyu was still very happy about her change, did this mean that that person was about to disappear from her heart, and he would no longer appear after that.

Su Qingluan looked at the mansion that had indeed changed a lot, three points helpless, seven points satisfied, and said, "Half a month ago, the imperial grandmother sent a craftsman from the palace to decorate the mansion, saying that it was for today's banquet, so I simply asked people to renovate my mansion." It looks like it's working well now. ”

Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua also nodded, and the current Eldest Princess's Mansion looks like Su Qingluan's style everywhere, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

The three-story building is not short, standing on it, you can see far away, over the roof, I saw the prince's honor guard slowly coming like the eldest princess's mansion from a distance, Su Qingyuan teased, "Okay, you, the master, hurry up and welcome the guests." ”

When the prince came, she naturally couldn't stay here anymore, but they didn't want to be lazy, "But, you guests, the master has gone down, can you continue to stay in the master's boudoir?"

"Got it," Mei Yihua pouted, "You don't have to mention the word boudoir all the time, so it looks like you're very hypocritical." ”

"Cut," Su Qingluan rolled her eyes, "I'm not willing." ”

A few people came down from the upstairs talking and laughing, and the sound of saluting and greeting could be heard everywhere they passed, and Su Qingluan and others also responded politely one by one, which made the ladies and daughters feel flattered.

"Princess," Dai He Dailian came from nowhere, walked up to Su Qingluan's side and whispered, "The prince's guard of honor is almost at the door." ”

"Well, the palace already knows, go get busy!" Su Qingluan didn't stop and walked straight towards the gate.

At today's banquet, Su Qingluan posted to the children of officials above the fifth grade in Beijing, so there are really not a few people in the house. Along the way, her face was about to stiffen with laughter, and the most relaxed was Su Qingyu, who had always had an expressionless expression, so no one felt strange that he was still expressionless today.

"So, the banquet is the most uncomfortable. Su Qingluan saw that there was no one around, so he said what was in his heart, which caused Mei Yihua and Su Qingyuan to resonate.

Su Qingyuan's eyes rolled, and when he saw that Su Qingyu had always been like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Ninth brother, in fact, it is more difficult to be expressionless than to have an expression, don't hold it, my brother won't laugh at you." In fact, he also secretly practiced expressionlessness in a place where no one was, because it seemed a little cold. But the more I told myself not to laugh, the more I wanted to laugh, and in the end I couldn't help but laugh, so there were bursts of creepy laughter from behind the stones beside the palace lotus pond all night.

Since then, there have been rumors in the palace that there was a crazy concubine who once jumped into the river and died, as for why it was obviously a man's laughter, it is said that this concubine's voice was not good to hear before she fell out of favor.

In short, it is classified by the bored palace people as one of the top ten horror events in the palace, the terrifying laughter by the lotus pond.

Su Qingyu glanced at him coldly, "Idiot." After that, he didn't give him a look out of the corner of his eye, and passed past Su Qingyuan.

Several people walked together, and Su Qingluan and Mei Yihua could naturally hear the conversation between the two of them, and they felt deeply embarrassed by Su Qingyuan's behavior, and shook their heads, "Idiot." ”

Although Mei Yihua agreed with Su Qingyuan's words, if he showed his heart now, Su Qingluan would definitely think that he was also an idiot, but at this time, he had already arrived at the gate of the mansion, Su Qingyuan's identity was there, and he didn't dare to say anything blatantly, patted him on the shoulder, shook his head and walked away with a regretful face, leaving Su Qingyuan alone to stand in place with a complicated face.

Although Mei Yihua didn't say anything, his expression had already told him, it was precisely because of this that Su Qingyuan couldn't get angry, usually the two of them were despised together at times like this, but today he was alone. And what kind of expression is Mei Yihua, in private, Mei Yihua is still competing with him who has been expressionless for a long time, and he has won!

"Mei Yihua, you stop for this prince!What did you mean just now?" Su Qingyuan chased after him angrily.

Several people laughed and laughed at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, and at this time, the prince's guard of honor also came closer, and many people stopped to watch outside the mansion. A few people also changed their frolicking appearance just now and got serious. To be precise, only Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua converged.

When the prince's guard of honor stopped, everyone found that there were several unexpected people around the prince, one of whom was their acquaintance, His Royal Highness King Yuan of Northern Qi, Yuan Junyao.

"The ghost doesn't go away. As soon as Su Qingyu saw Yuan Junyao, his face sank, but he was expressionless, and ordinary people couldn't find his abnormality, only Su Qingluan, who had always been closest to him, noticed it, and the words that came out of his mouth were also collected by her word for word.

For this younger brother's rare words to express his emotions, Su Qingluan couldn't help but smile, for some reason, Su Qingyu's attitude towards Yuan Junyao was very bad, it can be said that it reached the level of disgust, in her opinion, this Yuan Wang is nothing special, for this awkward brother, she sometimes can't understand.
