Chapter 502: Mo Xuetong's Birthday Banquet
Mo Xuetong's birthday was originally not big, just get together with the people of the Fuguo Mansion and the Mo Mansion, but this news was not known to the emperor, Emperor Zongwen specially gave gifts, and for a while, some high-ranking families sent gifts, and it seems that this birthday banquet will not be able to be invited.
Although she is young and not very old, Princess Xuan's status is enough for her to hold a birthday banquet.
Early in the morning, Mo Xuetong got up and dressed up.
"Princess, the two aunts and some people came over, saying that they wanted to greet you. Mo Lan lifted the curtain and came in, she also wore a *** jacket today, which looked very bright and brilliant, this was newly ordered by Mo Xuetong for a few close-fitting rings.
Mo Xuetong lived, Feng Jueran was in a good mood, and everyone in the whole house gave two taels of silver, so these concubines and aunts in the backyard also knew, Mo Xuetong didn't let them come over to ask for peace on weekdays, although she knew that these people didn't look at Feng Jueran, but seeing a large number of beauties with these rings of fat and thin, Mo Xuetong still felt a little shelved.
Simply out of sight and out of mind, simply Feng Jue also ordered that those people were not allowed to come and disturb themselves casually, although everyone was in the backyard of King Xuan's mansion, but the backyard was not the same as the backyard, the courtyard where those concubines and aunts lived was all close to the back door, and between the main courtyard of Mo Xuetong, there was also a door.
Today is Mo Xuetong's birthday, but she can't be too shameless for those people, so she simply nodded, and took a few maids to the main room to sit down.
He Yufen, Aunt Qin and a few concubines walked in together, bowed to Mo Xuetong, and looked very regular, He Yufen was wearing a light crimson skirt with a turmeric pleated top, which was very pink and delicate, and her face was also delicately dressed.
Aunt Qin looked much more solemn, but she also had a little arrogance, after sitting down on the small step, her head was slightly raised, her face was cold and a little arrogant, her self-held identity was only higher than Mo Xue Tong, looking at Mo Xue Tong sitting on the main seat, there was a slight discomfort in her eyes.
"Congratulations to the princess on her happy birthday, the concubine sewed a pair of shoes here and sent them to the princess, hoping that the princess will have this day every year, and the year will have this time. He Yufen smiled and asked the accompanying maid to give her a pair of delicate shoes, raised her hand to take it, and presented it in front of Mo Xuetong, as if she didn't hold a grudge against Mo Xuetong and hadn't drunk her tea until now.
"Aunt He is really polite, then I am not polite, thank you Aunt He. Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, asked Mo Lan to put down her shoes, and then asked Yahuan to serve tea, they came to congratulate themselves today, as the housewife, this kind of mind still needs to be had.
"Who is this?" Mo Xue's eyes fell on a seemingly low-key concubine sitting at the back, the concubine had a pair of charming eyes, and when she saw Mo Xue Tong coming over, she hurriedly and respectfully bowed, and looked at Mo Xue Tong timidly and said, "The slave is Xiangji." ”
"You are Xiangji!" Mo Xuetong looked her up and down, then looked twice in her wide robe, and said gently, "Sit down, you are still pregnant with the prince's heir in your belly, how can you stand longer!"
Her soft words triggered a shocking effect......
As soon as her words came out, the other people all changed their faces, even Aunt Qin, who has always boasted of being arrogant and looking down on people, couldn't help but turn pale, looked at Xiangji who looked low-key in amazement, and couldn't even say anything for a while, Xiangji is pregnant, how can Xiangji be pregnant?
"Xianghime, when did you happen, why don't we know?"
"yes, how long has it been, why is it so tight?"
"Isn't this still obvious? Not to mention, I really don't know, Xiang Ji, are you sure you're pregnant? Make no mistake!" After a short period of consternation, other concubines began to attack Xiang Ji, Xuan Wangfu has never had an heir, the reason why this group of concubines is nameless and shareless, is also because all of them are not angry, I can't imagine that Xiang Ji secretly conceived the prince's child, how not to make people jealous and hate.
A few stared at Xiang Ji's belly, and began to think viciously, how to make the child in Xiang Ji's belly not give birth.
"Slave maid, slave maid doesn't know much about anything, and thought that she had eaten too much, but I didn't expect to go up here, but last night the slave and maid fell - wrestling, and only then did I diagnose that there was a child of the prince in the belly, and the slave didn't dare to hide it, so I immediately told the prince. Xiangji seemed to be frightened by everyone's gaze, shuddered for a moment, and lowered her head, "The princess said that the princess would deal with this matter, and specially followed the sisters to meet the princess early in the morning." ”
Xiang Ji looks like a docile person, and she is also timid, looking at the concubine next to her with a pair of fiery eyes, the voice is getting smaller and smaller, almost like a mosquito language, she was frightened at a glance, stroked her stomach and raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, but it was also seductive, but it was all women here.
No one was fascinated by her pathetic appearance, only that she was too contrived, a vixen.
Since Mo Xuetong entered the mansion, Feng Jueran has not summoned a concubine, that is before, at that time, this Xiangji was really a pet time, she was given to Feng Jue by the palace, and she was spoiled for a few days when she entered the mansion, so that the child has been four or five months, and he has been hiding from everyone for so long, and now at this time, he is putting all the matter on Mo Xuetong.
This Kahime looks extremely uneasy.
Mo Xue Tong has been observing Xiang Ji, looking at her delicate and timid, as if she has been greatly wronged, and watching her look at everyone with her eyes, she also deliberately reached out and stroked her belly, as if she wanted to protect the child in her belly, but even so, her gentleness did not reach the bottom of her eyes, but she peeked at Mo Xue Tong's face again and again.
As if to see a look of jealousy and hatred on her face.
But she was about to be disappointed, Feng Jueran told her about this last night, and he also took care of his plan.
A smile on her lips was slightly cold, and it seemed that more than one person was calculating her birthday party.
It's okay, anyway, I don't care if it's auspicious or not, just treat it as a noisy banquet!
Because it is Princess Xuan's birthday, and the guests are going to be banqueted, the whole house is busy, and the people who come and go are preparing for the banquet lively.
In addition, it is equipped with some flowers and plants.
The back door sent a few pots of big flowers today, the little guy carrying the flowers took people to the garden to settle, it was still early, the guests had not come, the two handymen were busy quickly in the back garden, they had to finish the matter before the guests came, so as not to collide with the guests.
Some maids and sisters-in-law smiled when they saw the two little maids who were sweating profusely and still bowed their heads and worked hard, knowing that they were in a hurry, and no one bothered them, and still prepared their own banquets.
In the main courtyard, Mo Xuetong asked all the other concubines to go back, leaving only two concubines with positions, Aunt Qin and Aunt He, as well as this Xiangji, who was said to have "justified" to find out that she was pregnant for four or five months, and said that she would prepare it for a while and then ration it to the next person, and the house would be redistributed.
At this time, the guests had come one after another, Mo Xuetong went to the flower hall to welcome the guests, and the three of them were in the wing room on the side.
Most of Mo Xuetong's guests are young ladies and young ladies, although her identity is there, but she must still be young, and the lady who is too senior is embarrassed to come, lest people say that for the sake of Princess Xuan, she doesn't even want her face, Mo Xuetong only has a fourteenth birthday, and she can't even count it, it's not a big birthday.
The Fuguo Mansion came to Mo Xuetong's second uncle, Mrs. Qu, and she brought the niece Yun Ya who lived in the Fuguo Mansion, saying that she was taking her out to see the world, and Mo Xuetong also smiled and sat down.
Xu Yan didn't come, but she sent a gift, she is bulky now, and it is really not suitable to travel, Mo Xuetong specially sent someone to Mofu to ask her not to come.
When Luo Mingzhu came, most of the guests had already arrived.
She was wearing a light red colorful dark flower cloud long dress, with a jasper Qibao hairpin on her head, looking good, it was a few more red halos than before she got married, showing that her life was good, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and when she saw Mo Xuetong, she stepped forward and smiled: "Cousin Hitomi, I came here early today to see what help you need." ”
"I can't talk about helping, but with my second cousin helping me, I won't be in a hurry for a while, this is my first banquet. Mo Xuetong smiled slightly.
"Come so late, what do you say to help, it's good if you don't help, look at this time, it's just right to eat in a while, come so punctually, don't you smell it!" Mrs. Qu, who was sitting on the side, smiled and pointed to the sky outside, teasing Luo Mingzhu.
Luo Mingzhu saw that her mother was also sitting on the side, and hurriedly came over to greet her, and said with a coquettish smile: "Mother is really, it is impossible for me to talk politely to my cousin." ”
Although she was married, she still looked like a little daughter in front of her mother, and as she spoke, she came over and took Mrs. Qu's hand and shook it, just like the innocence and nature before she got married.
The ladies and ladies in the room laughed.
Mrs. Qu couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose, shook her nose and shook it and said, "Look, you've grown so big, and you still say such things, if your mother-in-law hears this, you don't think that our house will starve you, when did this greedy temperament develop, why don't I know!"
"Uncle, the second cousin is the best at pretending, I have always pretended not to care about anything in front of you, but I will no longer hold it in front of me, the lotus cake you gave me last time has all gone into the stomach of the second cousin. Mo Xuetong also smiled on the side.
"This gluttonous cat. Mrs. Qu scolded with a smile.
Seeing their mother and daughter, the sisters Guan Di smiled and talked together harmoniously, and Yun Ya, who was sitting on the side, flashed a trace of resentment in her eyes, pulled the corners of her mouth, and called timidly: "Cousin." ”
Luo Mingzhu saw Yun Ya sitting on the side, blinking her eyes and not recognizing who it was for a while.
"Mingzhu, come and see, this is your aunt's cousin Yunya, you used to play together when you were young. Mrs. Qu introduced with a smile.
"I've seen my cousin. Yun Ya immediately stood up, stood in front of Luo Mingzhu prettyly, and saluted.
