425 Banquet (I)

Yueyao got up the next day, but because she was going to enter the palace, Yueyao didn't box, and just used breakfast and started to let the drizzle and the two start to make up.

After putting on this crown clothes, Yue Yao chuckled: "This crown is really heavy, about the same weight as the phoenix crown that Cheng Qin wore." "Nine out of ten want to wear a phoenix crown and xia veil, and she is no exception, but it really tastes bad when she wears it on her body.

Drizzle had already learned the rules last time in order to accompany Yueyao into the palace, so this time Yueyao was also ready to go over with Drizzle.

Because it was not the first time for Yueyao to enter the palace, and she had also seen the Queen Mother and the Empress, she did not seem very nervous. Even after entering the palace, Yueyao didn't seem very nervous. Until she arrived outside the gate of Kunning Palace, Yueyao saw a lot of dressed ladies, and Yueyao suddenly understood that she was not the only one who entered the palace today to thank her.

The eunuch came and invited them in.

In addition to the queen, there are several concubines in Kunning Palace.

The queen was dressed in a yellow Bixia Luo court dress embroidered with a phoenix, with a complicated beaded hairpin on the phoenix bun, sitting on the top, graceful and luxurious, and the four concubines next to her were two dignified and generous, and the other two were charming.

There are a total of eight people who have been ordered this time, and the other seven Yue Yao don't know any of them, this is mainly because Yue Yao participates in too few social interactions, except for a ** girl who is about the same age as her, and she also knows the ladies of several top families, which is still known by painting a few people.

The queen was kind to everyone, and she also said a few words to Yueyao, and several concubines joked that Yueyao and the queen were also a family.

Yue Yao lowered her head and didn't say anything, she has always adhered to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and saying less and making fewer mistakes, so if she can, she won't open her mouth if she can, and in a place like Kunning Palace, where she is not qualified to speak, she will not take the initiative to speak.

The queen looked at Yueyao's appearance and smiled and made people retreat.

After seeing the queen, you have to see the queen mother before the ceremony is completed, and when you arrive at Cining Palace, the eunuch invites everyone into the palace.

The Queen Mother accepted everyone's courtesy, so she asked the personal female official to send a few ladies out, leaving only Yueyao, Yueyao is also familiar with the Queen Mother, and where is the relationship between the Jingning Marquis Mansion, Yueyao knows very well that even if the Queen Mother doesn't like her, she will not embarrass her, so she is not nervous.

The palace maid came in with a glass of warm water.

Yueyao was about to stand up and thank her, when the Queen Mother waved her hand and said gently: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Yue Yao heard the intimacy in the Queen Mother's words, she was a little surprised, the last time she saw the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother was also very kind to her on the face, but she could feel that the Queen Mother actually had a clear conscience on her, but she felt that she had a clear conscience, and there was nothing to ask for, so she didn't care.

The Queen Mother saw that Yueyao's expression was very calm, and she bowed slightly in her heart: "Zichang, Mingzhu is thanks to you this time, otherwise I don't know how much toss I have to suffer." "If it weren't for Yueyao, no one would know that Mingzhu couldn't eat because of the salt.

The queen mother has no children herself, so she regards Luo Shao and Mingzhu as her own children, Luo Shao is the marquis, and her own ability is also outstanding, so she doesn't have to worry, but Mingzhu is different, she doesn't know what her own sister's temperament is, but she wants to take Mingzhu to the palace to raise her well and her sister doesn't agree, she left Mingzhu in the palace at that time, but she didn't expect her sister to take medicine, she only had to compromise, for this reason, she didn't leave Mingzhu to stay in the palace before her sister died.

When her sister died, she took Mingzhu into the palace, ready to carefully teach Mingzhu rules and etiquette, but found that most of the bad habits on Mingzhu had changed, she thought that Lian Yueyao was just a companion of Mingzhu, but after a long time, she found that Yueyao occupied a very important position in Mingzhu's mind, important enough to affect Mingzhu, if it weren't for her nephew Luo Shao was sure that Lian Yueyao was a good one, she would definitely do it.

Although she knew that her nephew would not look at people badly, but in case of emergency, she had been watching coldly all these years, but after a few years of events, she finally decided that Yue Yao really loved Mingzhu, not that she began to think that Yue Yao had the intention of using Mingzhu to climb to the Hou Mansion, so that she attached to her.

Yue Yao replied respectfully: "Sister Mingzhu treats me like a sister-in-law, and I don't do anything for Sister Mingzhu." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, she has seen people's hearts for a long time, she has watched coldly for so many years, and now she agrees with her nephew's words, Yueyao is indeed a good person.

Yueyao accompanied the Queen Mother for a long time, and lunch was also left in the Cining Palace, after lunch, the Queen Mother wanted to take a nap, and Yueyao left the palace.

Yueyao got the Queen Mother to look at her differently and left lunch, this news quickly spread throughout the harem, and many people naturally took it to heart, but soon, there was news in the Cining Palace, saying that the Queen Mother regarded the Lian family as if she were a niece of her relatives, The people who thought about it immediately died down, and the iron bucket of the Cining Palace was like a bucket, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother, no one dared to spread the Queen Mother's words at will, and it was obvious that the Queen Mother meant it, and the Queen Mother was protecting the Lian family!

The henchman next to the Queen Mother said with a smile while massaging her: "Queen Mother, the slave maid thought that Mrs. An was a restrained person at first, but she didn't know that she was a wonderful person. ”

The Queen Mother praised: "This girl is knowledgeable in weaving, calligraphy and painting is outstanding, I'm afraid that few people outside who boast of being talented can match her, that day Shao'er said that this girl's talent is enough to be the pearl of Mr., this thought he was exaggerating, now I think about it, or Shao'er's vision is sharp, but unfortunately, this girl is the wrong child." "As a woman, no matter how much talent you have, you have to be buried in the back house.

Mama said with a smile: "Although Mrs. An can't enter the court as an official, her calligraphy and painting are famous all over the world, and it's not a pity." ”

The Queen Mother smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, the kid from the An family still has vision, and it is also his blessing to be able to marry such a wife." ”

Yue Yao didn't know that the Queen Mother had such a high opinion of her, and after Yue Yao returned to the mansion, she took off the phoenix crown of clothes on her body and changed into homely clothes.

Yue Yao watched the drizzle carefully hold the clothes, and smiled lightly, although this clothes were worn on the body, they were punished, but they were ordered, and they would be superior when they went out to socialize in the future.

When An Zhichen came back in the evening, Yueyao told him about the banquet: "If you are busy, don't ask for leave, it's not good to ask for leave." ”

An Zhichen said with a smile: "For such a big matter, I definitely have to ask for leave, you don't have to worry, there are no very important things in the yamen, they are all trivial things." ”

This time the treat was different from the last meeting, Yueyao posted to her relatives and friends, which also included Wanhe County Lord.

When Zhuang Ruolan received Yueyao's post, she replied with a smile, on the day of the banquet, she would definitely come, such a big happy event, she would definitely go as a sister-in-law.

Caiyi sighed a little emotionally between the words: "I didn't think about it, but the cousin girl is now a four-grade fate." "My master is only a five-grade order.

Zhuang Ruolan didn't care about this, if she cared about this, she would definitely not marry Ma Peng that day in her identity: "Military attachΓ©s are different from civilian officials, military attachΓ©s will rise quickly as long as they have military merits, and civil officials will come up step by step unless they are that kind of wonderful character." "Civil officials must not only have people in the court, but also qualifications, and qualifications can only be improved step by step.

Wanhe County Lord received Yueyao's invitation, and like Zhuang Ruolan, he immediately replied to the person who sent the invitation, bluntly saying that the day of the banquet must come.

Shuzhu, the maid beside Wanhe County Lord, looked at the invitation, her eyes flashed, Yueyao was a very arrogant person in Shuzhu's impression, but now there have been earth-shaking changes.

Lord Wanhe smiled: "Marrying someone is not the same as not marrying someone. "Those bad things in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, if it were before she got married, she would have destroyed all the women who caused trouble with her temperament. But after getting married, you can't do what you want, and you have to take care of a lot of things.

Shuzhu hesitated for a moment and asked: "County Lord, no matter what, the prince went to Mafu to propose marriage that day, although the family affair did not work out, but the county lord should not be so close to the Lian family, the county lord, it is better to avoid it?"

Before Wanhe could speak, Mother Li walked in and heard this, and scolded sharply: "What are you avoiding?" Mother Li is Princess Duan's confidant mother, with means and mind, Princess Duan knows that Wanhe County Lord is arrogant, although Wanhe wants to marry, but Wanhe feels wronged, Princess Duan is afraid that she will misbehave, so she specially gave Mother Li to Wanhe County Lord.

Princess Duan said directly to Li's mother in front of Wanhe at that time, if there was anything wrong with Wanhe, she would persuade her.

Princess Duan is Wanhe's mother-in-law, she naturally knows that Princess Duan is for her good, so she will also consult Li's mother for advice on many important things, and Li's mother has indeed helped Wanhe County Lord a lot, it can be said that if there is no persuasion from Mother Li's side, the relationship between Wanhe County Lord and Guan Jingxuan cannot be as good as it is now, Mother Li usually acts in a measured manner, and this time she angrily scolded Shuzhu, a first-class maid, for the first time.

Lord Wanhe didn't speak, just looked at Mother Li.

Shuzhu was shocked when he saw Wankou's expression, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "County master, the slave maid is also for the good of the county lord." "Shuzhu has been serving the county lord of Wanhe for several years, and he is also clear about the temperament of the county lord of Wanhe, but this mother Li is the most picky egg.

Lord Wanhe waved his hand to let Shuzhu go down: "Mom, although Shuzhu is speechless, there is no big mistake. "Lord Wanhe is accusing Mother Li of acting excessively.

Mother Li said without changing her face: "County Lord, if it is someone else, the county lord will naturally ignore it, but Lian's is different, she is the life-saving benefactor of the prince, and the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, if the county lord really listens to this girl's words, he will definitely have a relationship with the prince in the future."

Lord Wanhe was a little irritable.

Sister Li's mother knew that Wanhe and the county lord had actually been haunted by the princess of the day who refused the prince's family affairs and went to marry the Lian family: "County lord, the old slave knows that you still have grievances in your heart, but there is a chance that life is unsatisfactory. "The prince is not stupid, on the contrary, the prince is both civil and military, and he is the first civil and military scholar of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

The county lord of Wanhe has been windy and rainy since she was a child, but it is not smooth in marriage, she is unwilling to marry an embroidered pillow, nor is she willing to marry a sour Confucian, and finally looked down on Guan Jingshuo, but Guan Jingshuo did not look down on her, Later, although she married Guan Jingxuan, she also tried to ignore this matter, otherwise she would not take the initiative to show favor to Yueyao. But this matter is like a thorn, if you don't mention it, it's naturally fine, and once someone mentions it, she feels uncomfortable.

Mother Li sighed and said, "County Lord, do you remember what the princess told you when you got married?" If he remembers, the county lord should put those things aside. After Guan Jingshuo refused to marry that day, King Duan and Princess Duan broke off the idea of marrying, and later Duan Wangfu proposed marriage again It was Wanhe's own idea of the county lord.

Before getting married, Princess Duan told Wanhe that since she was going to marry into the Yongding Marquis Mansion, if she acted by temperament and had the status of the royal county lord, Guan Jingxuan would definitely not be able to do anything to her, but don't think about the love and love of husband and wife, if you want to marry Qin Se chords in many things, you have to endure it.

Lord Wanhe also wants to let go, but it's easier said than done. She couldn't ignore it completely, so Wanhe asked Li's mother: "Mom, why did you say that Lian Yueyao refused to marry that day?" Why is she so sure that the son of the world is proposing because of kindness?"

When Li's mother heard this, she knew that what she had just said was in vain, she couldn't completely solve this heart knot, and the bell must be tied to the bell person, and this heart knot can only be untied by the prince, Mother Li suggested: "County Lord, or you let the prince agree to go to the banquet with you." "If the prince really has affection for the Lian family, he will definitely be able to see the clues when he goes to the banquet, so that the county lord will not have to be suspicious all day long. If the prince has no affection for the Lian family, it would be even better, and he could directly eliminate the demons in the heart of Wan and the county lord.

Wanhe County Lord thought for a long time, and finally nodded, in the past few years, she has been controlling herself not to mention this matter, but the more she controls her, the more cranky she becomes.

In the evening, the county lord of Wanhe deliberately took the big red bronzing wedding card to Guan Jingxuan, and said, "Sister Yueyao invited us to be a guest, husband, are you free then?"

Guan Jingshuo was a little surprised, if he remembered correctly, his wife and Yueyao should have nothing to do with each other, but listening to this tone, it seemed to be very intimate, Guan Jingshuo didn't think much about it, and he couldn't understand the affairs of the woman's family: "Since you invited us, you must go." ”

When Wan and the county lord heard the word certain, their hearts were pantothenic again. Wanhe's county lord thought about it a thousand times, and finally decided to break the kettle and sink the boat, saving himself from worrying about his life every day: "Husband, I heard Sister Yueyao say that she has a life-saving grace for you, but she only said this, and no matter how much she didn't want to tell me, husband, is what Sister Yueyao said true?"

Guan Jingshuo was really surprised now, Yueyao was able to tell his wife about this, which shows that the relationship between the two is indeed very good: "It's true." ”

Wanhe's face was full of curiosity: "Husband, can you tell me how Sister Yueyao saved you?" In fact, the county lord Wanhe was indeed very curious about how Yueyao became Guan Jingxuan's life-saving benefactor.

Guan Jingxuan didn't hide it from the county lord of Wanhe, he felt that there was no need to hide it: "When I went to Zhaohua Temple that day, I inadvertently met Zichang, she saw that I was weak and recommended a doctor to me, I went down the mountain to find the doctor, the doctor has superb medical skills, and it didn't take half a year to cure my disease, if there is no Zichang's guidance, I will definitely be dead." ”

Lord Wanhe thought about many possibilities, but he didn't think about this possibility: "Husband, what kind of disease did you have that day?"

Guan Jingxuan's face was cold: "The doctor said that I was not sick at all, but I had eaten too many good things since I was a child, and I got sick." ”

Wanhe County Lord was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she was tired of hearing such tricks as killing or suppressing her, but she really had never heard of taking tonic medicine to eat the dead.

Guan Jingxuan's face was cold: "It was also at that time that I learned that my good aunt actually wanted to raise me to death, and I treated her like my own mother." ”

Wanhe County Lord came back to his senses and was a little happy: "Fortunately, my husband met Sister Yueyao, otherwise it would be good to be satisfied." ”

Guan Jingxuan looked up at the outside of the room, and only said after half a sound: "The eldest son also recommended the doctor to me for my mother's sake, I think, this must be my mother's spirit in heaven to bless me." "When I met Yueyao in Zhaohua Temple, it was just when he went to incense his mother and light an ever-bright lantern.

Lord Wanhe was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

After a conversation between the husband and wife, Guan Jingxuan went out.

Wanhe County Lord looked at her husband's back, her heart was a lot more relaxed, from the words of the princess, she could feel the gratitude of the prince to Yueyao, but she didn't feel the love between men and women, Wanhe County Lord said to herself: "It should be that I think too much." "The more you care, the more you suffer.

Wanhe County Lord put down her worries, summoned Mother Li, and told Mother Li what happened just now: "Mother Li, does Yueyao have anything to do with my mother-in-law?"

Mother Li thought for a while and said, "The deceased lady and Lian's mother used to have a good relationship like a sister. ”

When the county lord heard this, his heart was relieved a lot.
