Chapter 324: It's Long Overdue
This dinner was extremely unpleasant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the old lady finished laying out the score, Hua Zhang brought Mrs. Hua with her.
Thinking about this old lady Hua's battle, even her own son was unwilling to cooperate, and she waited for this battle to pass, so it was too late.
Mrs. Hua naturally thought the same way, she was even more arrogant than Hua Yurong, if she was asked to lose her position in front of Qi Nian, she would not want to be killed.
From this point of view, the year when Mrs. Hua came back, the most unhappy thing was Mrs. Hua's mother and daughter, not Qi Nian.
Of course, as long as Qi Nian is willing to pretend to be a grandson and doesn't stretch out her hand to brush the old lady's scales, with her status as a motherless woman, the old lady can't look down on her at all, let alone bother to embarrass her.
This was the first time Qi Nian had seen Hua Zhang since returning to the palace, so Hua Zhang couldn't help but be a little excited, and frequently raised his eyes to look at his daughter, who was still cold and cold, and his eyes contained great care and urgency.
Qi Nian naturally knew that Hua Zhang wanted to ask her why she stayed in the palace for so long, at first Hua Zhang just asked her to send a message to her home, but later saw that she really couldn't call someone back, so she personally wrote a song and invited the emperor, but she didn't expect to be bypassed by the emperor in a few words, and Hua Zhang really realized that something was wrong.
It's just that the palace is already strict, and the harem is even more forbidden for foreign men to trespass, yes, and Hua Zhanggui is the prime minister of the dynasty, but he still has no way to deal with this matter, which is really a headache.
Now that Qi Nian has finally come back safely, if he doesn't care at all, then there is no need to be so urgent before.
But fortunately, he knew the virtue of the old lady of his family, and he was already very prejudiced against the concubine, and it was precisely because Mrs. Hua had not given birth for a long time that she was almost yelled at by the old lady to return to the Rongguo Mansion, and finally forced her to agree to let the county lord of Luyao enter the door as a flat wife.
This is really a great shame that Mrs. Hua regards as a lifetime that she will never forget, and now they can still sit at the same table and laugh with each other, which seems to be very unfathomable.
Yes, Hua Zhang did not show a very caring look at Qi Nian during the banquet, but while dealing with the old lady's words, he looked at Qi Nian with his eyes, and was not noticed by the old lady who was dizzy, but asked Mrs. Hua to see it clearly.
Mrs. Hua suddenly turned her anger at the old lady to Qi Nian, glaring at her.
Qi Nian really wanted to laugh at this time, or Mrs. Hua was older, and she knew that persimmons were soft and pinched, and she was not as confused as Hua Yurong, who was caught and bitten.
Although this very unhappy dinner was delayed by the old lady on a whim, she ran out of meals and began to use dessert after the meal, and the dessert was removed and fragrant tea was served, and it was tossed for two hours, and it was not until late at night that this sumptuous dinner ended.
At this time, everyone's faces were tired, but the old lady was not at all, she was still in good spirits, and she had to call the musician and dancer to perform a few times before she stopped.
Hua Zhang couldn't bear this spirit to continue to accompany her to mess around, and after a long time of persuasion, the old lady stopped this idea stupidly, and took her large group of girls to close the door of Zhanghua Courtyard and go to the scene by herself.
Qi Nian finally knew that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, why everyone was in a state of low spirits right now, and even Hua Yurong's extremely beautiful face was covered with such a thick layer of fat powder, which couldn't cover the dark circles under her eyes that were forced to sing every night.
Finally, the old lady Chrysostom made everyone disperse, and Mrs. Hua and Hua Yurong didn't have the leisure to find fault, so they left in a hurry.
Qi Nian looked at their backs as if they were escaping from the wolf's den, and estimated in his heart that he was probably afraid that the old lady would not allow them to leave on a whim, which would be embarrassing.
This picture is particularly strong, Qi Nian couldn't help but smile, turned around and took A-Yao to go back.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to sleep hard in the afternoon, otherwise she would not be able to rest in the middle of the night.
She had just left Zhanghua Courtyard and was about to walk towards Bingtai Courtyard, but she saw Huazhang also come out of the courtyard, looking at her from a distance, and came over.
Qi Nian had no choice but to stop and curtsied, "Father." ”
Hua Zhang looked at her carefully for a moment before he said softly: "It's good that you have nothing to do, these days as a father, I always feel unstable in my heart, and I am worried that you will be harassed in the palace and will not be able to protect yourself." ”
These words are obviously sincere, although Qi Nian's heart is warm, he only said lightly on his face: "Thank you father for your concern, my daughter is cautious everywhere in the palace, and she doesn't dare to lose the face of our Washington mansion." ”
Hua Zhang seemed to be choked by her, but he didn't want to say anything more here, so he had to divert the topic, "...... Your grandmother, though she is old, is not as interested as she was then. Thinking about it, this body must be very healthy. But my father has always felt that his spirit is not good these days, and after all, it is the end of the year, and some things are busy......"
Qi Nian'an lowered her eyes quietly, the old lady was in good spirits just because she slept too much during the day, just look at today, she was the only one who could sleep from nap to dinner.
It's just that it's obviously not a good thing to turn day and night upside down like this, and it's even more harmful and unprofitable to the old man, and I don't know how she developed the habit of still feeling good about herself.
However, Hua Zhang's expression was really tired, and he looked at the person carefully, and he lost a lot of weight. Originally, I only thought that he was well maintained, and he was almost half a hundred years old, but he looked like he was less than forty, and he still retained the graceful bearing of the elegant and gentle jade of the year.
But after all, the long years that have been experienced are still engraved into the heart, and no matter how well the appearance is maintained, it is impossible to keep that heart as young as ever.
Qi Nian couldn't help but sigh slightly, his heart was still soft after all, and he said softly: "Father, let's go back and rest early, it's not too early at this hour." Tomorrow, the daughter boiled a dose of tranquilizer for her father, and hoped that her father would be able to sleep more peacefully at night. ”
Hua Zhang couldn't help but smile and sighed lightly: "It's still Xiao Er's caring, and it's very comforting for my father." Tomorrow I will go to see you in the Bingtai Courtyard, and I still have a lot to say to you for my father. ”
Qi Nian naturally knew what he was going to say, so he only lowered his head and blessed his body, watching him bend slightly and be led away by his subordinates with lanterns.
Even if there is no wind in the night in the depths of winter, there is a piercing cold, and just now it has come out of the warm pavilion where the fire is vigorous and full of spring.
