Chapter 406: Entering the Palace for a Banquet
Under Liang Zhe's instructions, the medicine given by Qinglan and Qingcao to Mrs. Liang gradually decreased, and then gradually cut off, and Mrs. Liang gradually returned to her normal routine.
Since Mrs. Liang is in peace, the younger generations have resumed the habit of going to Ningyuan every day to greet and accompany Mrs. Liang for breakfast.
However, Liang Yunshan never appeared.
Liang Zhe's explanation to Mrs. Liang was that Emperor Delong sent Liang Yunshan to Gyeonggi. As for what to do, Liang Zhe did not explain, and Mrs. Liang did not ask.
After greeting Mrs. Liang last time, Liang Jie told Mrs. Liang that Liang Yuan had trouble with people in the Qing* Building, was beaten, and had to rest in bed for a period of time before he could see anyone.
Old Madam Liang immediately looked at Luo Meixiang, Luo Meixiang's eyes dodged, and her expression struggled.
Luo Meixiang was particularly tormented during this time, and she lost a lot of weight.
Since that incident, Liang Yunshan has never gone to look for her again, and has been resting with Aunt Yue and those beauties. She felt that Mrs. Liang was fake for a while, and then she felt that this was just a rhetoric that Liang Yunshan used to comfort herself, but in fact, she and Liang Yunshan were brother and sister.
Liang Yunshan didn't see her, and she didn't dare to see Liang Yunshan.
Even when she came to Ningyuan to ask for peace, she was always entangled and struggling psychologically. Whether Mrs. Liang is a fake or she is her biological mother, she can't face Mrs. Liang.
As for her being Aunt Zhou's grandmother's daughter, when she hadn't heard that she was the daughter of King Liang before, she never felt anything. But since the last time she heard that she was the daughter of King Liang, she had always had strange thoughts.
In fact, she really wished she was the daughter of the royal family.
One is of royal blood, and the other is born to a lowly aunt, the difference between the two is nothing different from the mud.
Seeing Luo Meixiang's struggle and Liang Jie's deception, Mrs. Liang closed her eyes and stopped asking Liang Jie.
At this time, everything is empty, only when he completely tramples on the three clowns who jump Liang Zhe, then let Mei Xiang and Yuan'er know that only he is their backer, and only he is sincere and good to them.
In the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of the twelfth month.
A few days ago, the palace sent a post to a famous person in the capital, and the palace was going to hold an ice sculpture banquet and invite the old lords, wives, and ladies of various provinces to come to the palace to watch.
The ice sculpture banquet was held when the Queen Mother was alive.
Over the years, it has been flourishing. After the death of the Queen Mother, it was Concubine De who presided over this matter.
Every year, the post sent to the Liang family wrote the name of Mrs. Liang, but every time, Mrs. Liang refused for various reasons.
This morning, when everyone was having breakfast in Ningyuan, Mrs. Liang, who had been eating coldly, suddenly looked at Luo Meixiang and said, "Meixiang, you go and prepare, I will enter the palace with you in a while." ”
Luo Meixiang was startled and almost didn't stand up, "Mother, mother, what did you say?"
"I'm going to go into the palace to see the ice sculptures. What's wrong?"
Luo Meixiang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'll go and prepare." ”
Saying that, she subconsciously glanced at Qin Shuying, and now the person in charge of the house is Qin Shuying, not herself.
Qin Shuying dined silently and didn't say a word.
Old Madam Liang likes to use this trick, treating Qin Shuying as air, and not taking herself in her eyes at all.
Mrs. Liang can do this, and so can she herself. She doesn't look down on herself, and she may not like her.
It seems that Mrs. Liang is finally going to make a move.
After eating, the hostesses of the Liang family were all dressed up, and the things that entered the palace should be ready.
In the middle of noon, after lunch, surrounded by the nurses and maids, the carriage of Pingxibo Mansion slowly moved towards the palace.
At the entrance of the palace, there were already many carriages of female dependents parked there, and everyone got off one after another, and under the guidance of the palace people, they headed towards the harem.
When Mrs. Liang got off the carriage, many female relatives frequently looked at the Liang family's carriage.
There were even many old Fengjun who looked at the dressed old lady Liang in surprise, and people whispered, asking who this middle-aged woman with a noble and beautiful appearance was.
When they heard that it was Mrs. Liang, everyone couldn't hide their surprise, especially those old feudal lords who were the same age as Mrs. Liang couldn't help touching their sideburns.
Old Mrs. Liang's hair is still black and shiny, her figure is still tall and slender, her eyes are still bright, and her skin is still snow-white.
Many people knew that Mrs. Liang was beautiful and captivated the country and the city, so Lao Pingxihou did not hesitate to marry her as a lowly concubine.
But once upon a time, many of them had seen Mrs. Liang when they were young, and they knew that they could not compare with each other because they were beautiful. But why is she still so beautiful after all these years?
Every woman has a dream of loving beauty, even if she is an old feudal monarch, her love for beauty is still the same. Usually no one compares and doesn't think it, but now that Mrs. Liang is so foiled, they suddenly think about it.
Mrs. Liang has stayed at home for many years, and the wife who was good friends in the past has either gone to other places or died long ago, so there are five or six old feudal lords at the door, but none of them are familiar with each other.
In the eyes of everyone who were surprised, envious, or emotional, Mrs. Liang raised her neck high, her expression was calm and elegant, her eyebrows were full of brilliance, and her steps were elegant, and she did not see any embarrassment or embarrassment at all.
Liang Zhen couldn't come, and Montessori was a concubine's daughter-in-law couldn't come, so Luo Meixiang, Qin Shuying, and Liang Qiong followed behind Mrs. Liang.
All three were amazed.
Luo Meixiang and Liang Qiong were surprised by Mrs. Liang's demeanor and high posture, such a bearing, even Liang Qiong could not compare.
Qin Shuying was surprised that Old Madam Liang seemed to be very familiar with the direction in the palace.
The place they are going to now is Wanshou Palace, which is also the palace where the Queen Mother lived in front of her.
In the Wanshou Palace, there is a delicate pond, a very wide open space, and a very warm greenhouse.
The ice sculpture feast is set up in the greenhouse, and the ice sculpture is set up on the pond water and open space.
Skilled craftsmen carved intricate ice sculptures using winter ice, the ingenious furnishings in the pool, and the open space.
Some of these ice sculptures are birds flying in the water, some are horse-drawn carriages galloping on the ground, some are delicate utensils, and some are lifelike beauties...... Everything is beautiful, and so on.
During the day, enjoy ice sculptures, feasts, snow scenes, and plum blossoms.
At the end of the Shen period, when it was getting late, the Ministry of Internal Affairs provided particularly bright jewels to be inlaid in the ice sculptures, and at that time, the night pearls and glowing gems emitted dazzling light, setting off the ice sculptures like a dream, like a fairyland.
At that time, looking at the ice sculptures was a different scene.
It's like a dream, not like the world.
These ice sculptures are not easy, they are not easy to carve, and they are not easy to preserve.
Being able to participate in the ice sculpture banquet of Wanshou Palace is an honor that ordinary people can't get.
Luo Meixiang and Liang Qiong come almost every year, and Qin Shuying is of course participating for the first time.
After entering the palace gate, everyone was not allowed to bring maids.
Not only to remember the route, but also to observe Old Madam Liang, Qin Shuying basically had no other mind to think about other things.
