Chapter 125: Calculation
Xue Liao has been entangled in court affairs since he ascended the throne, and he has only relaxed a little now, and this is the first time he has left the palace after his recovery. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This time I came to congratulate him on his birthday, in order to promote Zhao Ge Lao, and also to take the opportunity to step out of the palace gate to breathe, and to see if this capital is still what he has in his impression after ten years.
If you want to elevate your subordinates, you naturally have to make enough face. opened the private warehouse that was not full, picked up more than a dozen boxes of valuables, plus the dim sum dishes made inside, tribute fruit and wine, and carried them in like flowing water.
It is not called the internal etiquette official to sing the gift list, and when his mind arrives, it is not appropriate for the public to sing and read, and those who have the heart to inquire can also inquire about it.
After everyone shouted long live, they helped up Mrs. Zhao with their own hands, opened Chrysostom and wished her happiness as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan.
Empress Pei had just given birth, and her body had not fully recovered, so she couldn't come with her if she wanted to. The saint had been cold to her for a while, and she was even more suspicious in her panic, so she sent the palace people to inquire around, whether the saint was going to take Concubine Zhu Xian out of the palace to celebrate her birthday.
Wang Kui is the best at figuring out the intentions, and he knows that the saint is angry with Queen Pei coldly, and he can't do anything to suppress the main palace with Concubine Zhu Xian. Seeing that Queen Pei was only thinking about eating the flying vinegar without a shadow, but she didn't think about preparing a congratulatory gift, she was even more determined to choose another master.
I still have to make a living in Kunning Palace now, and I have to think more about this short-sighted master. Gently reminded him, and took this errand again. followed Xue Liao to offer congratulatory gifts, and said many words of congratulations for Queen Pei.
Mrs. Zhao was moved to tears, and called the saint Long's grace and the queen's blessing.
After welcoming the holy car, the banquet was opened directly, and the main hall took the long scroll landscape screen of the pine crane to extend the year in the middle, and the male and female guests entered the table on both sides separately, and Zhao Lao Taijun and Zhao Ge Lao accompanied Xue Liao to sit down and accept congratulations from both sides.
Xue Qili couldn't find Yan Jingluo in the garden, and he didn't find a chance to meet Yan Jingluo just now, and he was full of unhappiness. I wanted to rub into the middle seat to see the beautiful face, but even Princess Cheng Xuan avoided the women's seat, how could he, a prince who was about to become an adult, sit in the middle seat? Called him Emperor Lao Tzu glared at him, so he had to sit down.
Holding a wine glass, he was impatient to talk to his fellow tablemates, and his eyes slipped straight to the women's table. Through the screen, I only heard the movement of my clothes, and I smelled the fragrance of the wind, where can I see it? I was so anxious that I couldn't wait to throw my wine glass in public and smash the screen that was in the way of smashing a hole.
Mulan sat on the back seat with a group of little girls, glanced up, and felt that Xue Liao was thinner and older than when she last saw her. Don't say that Zhao Ge Lao, that is, Zhao Lao Taijun's complexion is much better than him.
sighed in his heart that it was not easy to be an emperor, so he withdrew his gaze and took a small sip of rose dew in his cup.
Wang Kui and Cao Qing stood behind Xue Liao and looked at Mulan from a distance. has not seen her for a season, and this girl from the Xie family is getting better and better.
It's not that it was bad before, but where can we talk about it in general? After withstanding the nourishment of these days, the skin is tender, the body is twitched, and the eyebrows and eyes have grown. There are also grandmothers who go out in the palace to teach the rules, and their manners are different from the past, sitting and standing, and their gestures are all showing grace and nobility.
is only a few years old, otherwise he will be sent to the palace immediately, with such a posture and such an identity, why can't he capture the heart of the holy dragon?
But twelve years old is not too young, and girls have already begun to look for their in-laws at this age. An excellent candidate for a favorite concubine, if it is given to the children of the family, wouldn't it be tyrannical? You have to think about it quickly.
Wang Kui was secretly thinking in his heart, and most of the table was already on the table. The dishes and snacks that the Holy Lord had rewarded were placed on the middle table, and the rest were distributed to the table below. Except for the table where Princess Chengxuan and Prince Guo sat each got eight things, and the table where the Lord of Xianghe and Mulan sat got four things, the table next to them only got one or two kinds, which were placed in the middle and dipped in grace.
When the dishes were served, Xue Liao first toasted Zhao Lao Taijun alone, and then led the ministers and daughters to salute together, ate the wine toasted by Zhao Ge Lao and others, and sat for about two quarters of an hour, and then went back to the palace.
Everyone stood up to send him off, and also told him to stop, "I am here, you must not dare to let go of eating and drinking." I still have some court affairs to deal with, so I will go first, and you can eat with peace of mind, so you don't have to move the people to send them off. ”
It is said that there is no need to stir up the people, how can it be avoided? The male and female guests knelt down on the spot to send them off, while Zhao Ge Lao and Lord Zhao sent them all the way out of the gate, knelt on the ground, and waited until the car turned around the corner before getting up and turning back.
Everyone sat down again, there was respect and return, and the guests and hosts were happy.
Mrs. Zhao looked at him, after all, he was old. Wearing a wig and uncomfortable, it is not easy to hold on to this for many times, and after receiving congratulations, he said that he was not strong enough to drink, and asked his mother-in-law to help him go back to the room to rest.
As soon as the old birthday star left, the birthday banquet was a little less meaningful. The female guest sat for a while, and was led by Mrs. Zhao to drink tea in the flower hall at the back. The male guests still pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and drank happily.
As soon as the female guest moved, Xue Qili stared closely at the corner door on the side of the screen, but he didn't even see the face of the county lord of Xianghe, only captured half of his back, and disappeared by the door. The more I can't see it, the more itchy my heart becomes, and I can't rush to the back house to catch someone to confide in my lovesickness, so anxious that the wine is spilled.
instructed his entourage to keep an eye on the sedan hall, and when he saw that there was a movement in the princess's mansion, he hurried to report.
He had made up his mind, and he would see the county lord of Xianghe no matter what today.
Xue Hui then reported and almost crushed the teacup in her hand. I was so angry that I couldn't do it, but I had to take care of the dignity of my family and the royal family when I was a guest. lest her unscrupulous nephew take advantage of the wine to do something out of the ordinary, find an excuse to call Mrs. Zhao out and talk alone for a while.
Even if there is no such thing as getting married, Princess Cheng Xuan will open her mouth again, and Mrs. Zhao will not help. When he turned around, he sent his mother-in-law to go forward and handed the message to Zhao Yuanze.
Although Zhao Yuanze didn't understand his mother's intentions, he also knew that it was reasonable for his mother to ask him to do this, so he pulled his cousins and acquaintances and children of familiar families to toast Xue Qili desperately.
Xue Qili was already depressed in his heart, so he accidentally drank a few more glasses, got drunk, and asked Hu Cong to carry him into the carriage and send him back to the palace.
Xue Hui got the letter, first breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned secretly. She is a dignified eldest princess who comes out to socialize openly with her daughter, but she has to be afraid and stand in the way, what's the matter?
There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, it seems that the daughter's family affairs can no longer be delayed.
When the report came from the front, it was said that the male guests had dispersed, and the female guests had also dispersed one after another.
Xue Hui resigned with Mrs. An and Mrs. Chang, broke up at the corner of the street, and went straight back to the princess's mansion. After entering the house, he sent all his subordinates down, leaving only his daughter to talk in front of him, "Today in the Zhao Mansion, have you seen the second son of the Zhao family?" ”
Yan Jingluo was hesitating about whether to almost bump into Xue Qili in the garden with her mother, but she couldn't react when she heard this. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly understood, "It was specially arranged by my mother?" ”
