95. Family feast
Leaned down and kissed her hair, and went to the outer room to lie down in his clothes.
Just two hours later, Lichun and Lianpeng came in with water, "Don't go in, Yilan hasn't been asleep for long, don't wake her up." Hua Wushan hurriedly stopped it.
"Lianpeng, come in." Unexpectedly, Ylang had already woken up.
I can only go in with the lotus canopy, "It's still early, sleep more." Hua Wushi said softly beside him.
"Lianpeng, give me that beige dress." Ylang was sleepy-eyed and tired, and his eyes were thick black.
"Didn't you say that you would wear peach pink today? Why did you change to beige again? Lian Peng said strangely beside him, and then looked at Hua Wulone, who was dressed neatly from the bed, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
Ylang Ylang had already unloaded last night's outfit on the basin and washed his face. I brush my teeth with tooth powder.
"What do you want to eat in the morning? I'll let the kitchen prepare it for you, wait and drink some ginseng soup, you sleep so little that even your eyes are dark. Hua Wu said next to him.
"Lianpeng, help me comb my hair, don't comb it too complicated, I'll do the makeup myself."
"Oh." During the lotus flower, Ai Aidi answered, and everyone could see that the atmosphere was weird.
Lichun also stopped what he was doing, came over to look at this, and then at that, "Master, the slave will fetch water for you to freshen up." ”
I can't quarrel again in front of the girl, so I have no choice but to go outside to change clothes and freshen up.
After a quick wash, Yilan hurried to the banquet hall after two mouthfuls of snacks. "Yilan, don't be like this, it's not good for people to look at." Hua Wulan was holding Yilan all the way, and Ai Ai was resentful of the man next to him, and the five girls behind him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
I smelled a strong fragrance from afar, and the heavenly banquet was naturally extremely extravagant, and it was full of smoke and smoke at every turn.
It turned out that it was late, Zhu Lihua, Gao Ziying and Liniang had already arrived, and they were directing the girls to decorate the house. It is worthy of being the emperor's house, on this cold day, in addition to some evergreen plants in the room, there are even several pots of blooming flowers, and there are many fresh fruits and vegetables on the table, and I don't know how they got it.
"Sixth Master."
"I've seen the sixth master." Several people gathered around to greet the sixth master, compared to the plain and elegant of Yilan, they were dressed very gorgeous and luxurious, with complex patterns on the satin clothes, and the clothes were finely made. There are a lot of ornaments on the whole set of heads, plackets, belts, ears, wrists, fingers, and everywhere, which can be seen to be from famous families and noble families.
"How is the room smoky, lotus canopy, and all those incense incense are taken out of the room." Yilan ignored them and calmly commanded.
Everyone was stunned, "Ylan." Hua Wushan also called softly, wanting to calm things down.
"In the winter, the smoke in the room is not easy to disperse, so let's get those incense burners out like that." Ylang repeated.
"Yes." Lichun and Liqiu are about to do it immediately.
"Master." Zhu Lihua stared at Hua Wulone, and her voice squeezed out from between her teeth, "Her Royal Highness the princess likes incense the most, isn't it possible that we want to make a joke for Her Royal Highness the princess?" And this house has been furnished by our sisters for three days. ”
"The meeting was meant to be improvised, and it seems that you have been decorating this room since you got the news." Yilan smiled, but anyone who looked at this smile would think that it had ulterior motives.
Only then did Hua Wushan know what it meant to be a discordant wife and concubine, and a restless house. I have long known that Yilan is not a master who can be bullied at will, but I don't want her to be pampered and arrogant, which is really a headache, but there is still some joy in my heart.
"Lichun, take all the incense burners out of the city." Hua Wushan frowned and ordered. He believed that if she didn't go along with Yilan's wishes today, she would be able to throw her face and leave immediately, while in contrast, Zhu Lihua would still take care of the overall situation.
"Move those flowers out of the hall as well, the smell of the flowers is a headache." Ylang added.
Most of the maids in the room were Zhu Lihua's people, and when they saw that their master was so angry that they were trembling and crying, no one dared to move, and they were even prevented from doing it in Lichun and Lixia.
"Are you all deaf? Don't move yet. Hua Wushan roared angrily, glanced back at the expressionless Yilan, and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that the sixth master was angry, the girls could only do it, and soon the house was empty.
"There are so many people, the carbon basin needs to be taken care of, and the windows on the side are open, don't go too far with carbon." Yilan commanded at will, just like the master.
"Lord Yu, Princess Jinglan, Princess Zhiyun has arrived at the door." A girl came in to report.
The two of them were friendly with Concubine Yi, so they naturally arrived early to support Zhu Lihua, and when Zhu Lihua heard that they had arrived, her face, which was almost collapsed, changed slightly.
"Pack it all up and go greet the guests." Hua Wushan glanced at everyone, raised his legs and walked out.
I don't know how many times there have been such banquets in the house for more than ten years, and Zhu Lihua naturally walked to Hua Wulone's side and greeted the guests as the hostess.
Yilan was never willing to be on the left and right with Zhu Lihua, so he deliberately took two steps back and followed from a distance.
Immediately realizing that the person next to him was not Yilan, Hua Wushan stopped and forcibly pulled Yilan to his side, ignoring Zhu Lihua's eyes full of humiliation and anger.
The guests arrived one after another, and Zhu Lihua and the three of them continued to accompany the guests to the banquet hall in batches, and only Yilan always stood beside Hua Wulone.
The merry prince Hua Wushan has always been surrounded by beautiful women, but he has never favored anyone alone, but he can feel the difference in Yilan as long as they are together for a while. Hua Wushan intentionally or unintentionally took Yilan as the hostess.
The two princesses grew up in the palace compound, and they were used to seeing wives and concubines competing for favor among wealthy nobles, so of course they quickly felt it.
"Lihua, what's going on." There are many people who come today, so I can only avoid everyone and whisper a few words, so I will get straight to the point.
"Princess, you also saw it, the sixth master is iron-hearted." As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhu Lihua's tears rolled down. Sobbed and told me about the incense burner in the morning.
"Forget it, you bear with it first, you don't know the temper of the sixth child, if you really annoy him, you won't give you a good look, he is now angry with the concubine. I look at that girl's frivolous appearance, and the sixth brother can't like her for a few days. Princess Jinglan whispered.
The guests came quickly, and in less than half an hour, the banquet hall was full. Most of them are princesses or cousins of close branches, but there are more than 20 people.
The three princes have arrived, the three princesses have arrived, and the twelve princes have arrived. An attendant called out at the door.
There is no crown prince, and the third prince is currently the oldest prince, and everyone stands up when they hear him.
Before Hua Wushi reached the door, the two princes walked in.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law." Hua Wushan hurriedly went up and bowed his hand as a courtesy, in front of outsiders, the etiquette that should be there must be.
When most people knelt down and saluted, Yilan also went up to bless her body, "Third master, princess." ”
The third prince nodded, "Yilan doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Sister Yiyi." Hua Wuxiang's title made those who were shocked that the third prince would treat Yilan so politely.
"Why didn't the Twelfth Master bring the princess?" Ylang teased a joke. provoked Hua Wuxiang, who got married in two months, with a red face.
Before the two of them could sit down, someone informed the seventh master, the ninth master and their princess that they had arrived.
"Sixth brother, sixth sister-in-law." The Seventh Master came in and called out casually and clearly, and arched his hand to both of them. There was not a sound in the large room for a moment.
"Lao Jiu, this is the sixth sister-in-law you mentioned, Yilan, General Qiu." The seventh master introduced to the people next to him.
"Ninth Master." Ylan went up first and was blessed.
"Sixth brother." The ninth master arched his hand, and the sixth sister-in-law didn't call out after all.
Ylang didn't care. Jiu Ye is slightly chubby compared to the other brothers, and his small eyes often make people feel uncomfortable. Yilan didn't have a good impression of him, thinking of the five sisters who were dependent on each other in the backyard last year, it seemed that they were sent by the ninth master, and they were even more disgusted with him.
Help Hua Wushan beckoned everyone to sit down. Because it was a family feast, there was no separate table for men and women, and they all sat together in pairs.
Everyone sat around a large table according to their identities, and Yilan was naturally pulled tightly by Hua Wulan and sat down, as if they were husband and wife. However, Zhu Lihua and the others did not sit down, but stood aside and directed the girls to rush in and out.
"I'll go see if there's anything I can help with." Seeing the joy of everyone's chat, Yilan whispered in Hua Wu's ear. She was a little embarrassed, she didn't know the ladies seated, but many of the ladies were very familiar with Zhu Lihua and Gao Ziying, and pulled them to sit beside her from time to time to talk and laugh for a while.
As Hua Wushan expected, they also knew the general situation very well, and did not show jealousy or dissatisfaction, but were hospitable and smiling. There are more women and fewer men here, most of them are married princesses and princesses, fat and thin, noble and arrogant, and most of them talk about family routines, housekeeping experience, or news of rare things from all over the world. These ylang-ylangs are not familiar.
What's more, there are still many people who don't recognize her identity as a princess, intentionally or unintentionally, comparing her with other women in the palace, although they don't dare to be excessive, but women are sensitive, and they can feel excluded from their deliberate avoidance of their own topics. Gradually, people felt that they were the mistresses of the palace, and Yilan was just sitting with the sixth master, without even saying a word.
"Don't go." Hua Wushan also felt it, and tightly held Yilan's already slightly damp hand.
"I didn't pay attention just now, the sixth sister-in-law is so beautiful today, it's rare to see Yilan dressed up so carefully on weekdays, elegant and refined, the sixth brother is really a blessing." Hua Wuji raised his voice slightly, although he said it to Hua Wuji, almost everyone in the room could hear it.
"Yilan doesn't have time to dress up on weekdays, and I can't ask for two more hours of sleep. Is it different today? Hua Wushan said with a smile, and deliberately stared at Yilan to look at it, "What did you use to draw your eyes, but it is indeed very unusual." ”
Naturally, they haven't painted eyeliner and brushed eyelashes in makeup, which is also how easy Yilan was in Fancheng to find raw materials to try to make a little bit, the quality is very average, it's better than nothing, but I don't want to be seen by Hua Wulone, and I blushed for a while, which is even more moving.
