118. Thank-you banquet
Xiangguo looked up at his daughter, "My daughter's analysis today is indeed reasonable, it seems that she is not thinking about her father." Sangkook stood up and paced back and forth a few steps, "What kind of goal did the daughter ever think about?" ”
"Get rid of Yilan, let my niece become the sixth princess, and let Hua Wushan obey our orders." Yi Guifei cut the railway.
Xiang Guo shook his head when he heard this, "That's impossible, first of all, with the character of the sixth master, it is difficult for him to obey us, and if those rumors are true, then we get rid of Qiu Yilan, how can Hua Wulian still marry my granddaughter, even if it is doubtful, he will never marry my granddaughter." ”
"What then?" Concubine Yi showed a confused look.
"If this thing is to be done, Qiu Yilan himself must give up becoming a princess, and let Hua Wulan ask for something for us, so that he will be willing to marry your niece and cooperate with us. Only in this way is it worthwhile to support Hua Wulone's upper position. Xiangguo said slowly, with a resolute light in his eyes.
"Let Qiu Yilan give up becoming the sixth princess? How is this possible, what woman doesn't want to be the princess of Hua Wulone. Yi Guifei felt incredible.
"Hehe, it's man-made, but this matter can't be rushed, it needs to be arranged slowly, the most important thing is that you have to ease the relationship with the sixth prince, only in this way that no one will think of you after we do something." Sangkook smiled and eased the atmosphere.
"This." Concubine Yi groaned, asking her to lower her figure to the sixth master and Yilan, which was indeed a little difficult to accept, but when she felt her father's gaze, "Okay, father, I went to ask the emperor for guilt these days, and by the way, I also wanted to improve the relationship with the sixth prince." She gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Haha, daughter, that's right, how can those who want to achieve great things calculate small profits." Xiangye was very happy, "Since he is ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous, as a father, he must lay a good foundation for the future of your brother and sister before he retires." ”
Although she didn't know the specific arrangements, Concubine Yi had always been obedient to her father, and she didn't say anything at the moment. I took some delicate snacks from the palace and invited my father to taste them, and talked about some light topics.
Xiangye lingered at Concubine Yi for a full hour.
"When it's my father's birthday in a few days, you can let Mama Luo from your side come to the house, and then I will bring you any arrangements. During this time, you can take care of your body in the palace, walk around with the ladies in the palace more, and be more free and easy, and those rumors will be gone. Xiangguo instructed a few words, and then left.
Concubine Yi is also worthy of being the daughter of Xiangguo, but she can afford to put it down, and she quickly followed her father's words.
Two days later, all the ladies in the palace received an invitation from Yi Guifei, saying that she was in poor health two days ago, so that the sisters came to congratulate on her birthday and failed to entertain them well.
After all, Concubine Yi is still the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, so although everyone is full of questions, they can't thin her face, and they are all invited to attend early.
During the banquet, Concubine Yi was very free and easy, not mentioning the embarrassing past a few months ago, but just laughing with everyone. There are also people who use Mama Luo's sneer to say some cool things, she either didn't hear it, or laughed, and led the topic elsewhere, without being affected in the slightest.
At the end of the banquet, Concubine Yi proposed to teach the princes in the academy that the princes worked hard, and now it is spring, just to visit the garden banquet, relax, and propose to hold a royal banquet to thank the princes and princesses for their hard work.
This is not without precedent, in previous years, such banquets have been held many times, the main topic of the banquet is often the emperor to examine the princes' homework, the emperor praised and rewarded the prince is naturally happy, and the emperor praised the master is even more bright. And this kind of banquet is often proposed by the queen, and now there is no queen, as the head of the concubine, Concubine Yi Guifei should be proposed, which is naturally deserved, and it does not seem abrupt at all.
But this year, there is an extra Qiu Yilan among the prince's masters, and when I think of what happened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month three months ago, I have a mind and flexibility, and I can't help but think about it less.
But this is a good thing, no matter what the purpose of Yi Guifei is, everyone only agrees, and at the moment Yi Guifei took out the recital that had already been prepared, and all the concubines could only sign their names below whether they wanted to or not.
"Yi'an, go and ask the emperor if he is free now, while everyone is here today, let's go to see the emperor together and hand over the fold to the Lord Banzai." Concubine Yi was very energetic, and asked Yi'an to arrange it right away.
The emperor is not available, and now it is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and the emperor is working with Hua Wulian and the household officials to reward the allocation of military rations to Fancheng and the disaster relief in response to the peach blossom flood. However, after hearing the news, he sent Zhao Qishou to pick up the recital of the girls, which was agreed.
The feast was scheduled for 10 days later, on April 15.
It's a pity that on that day, Concubine Ling Yi regretted that Qiu Yilan did not participate.
The reason is that Qiu Yilan is sick, not pretending, but really sick. Two days ago, Yilan was lying at home due to the cold and could not even go to class.
In ancient times when there were no antibiotics, colds could sometimes kill people, and Ylang Ylang itself was weak and poisonous, so a small cold became more and more serious. Today, he even had a high fever, and even the emperor was alarmed, and he had already sent two waves of imperial doctors to diagnose and treat him in just one morning.
"Ylan, how are you? Are there any good points? Hua Wushan was even more nervous, and when she got the news of Yilan's fever, she didn't have time to wait for the end of the morning dynasty, so she hurried back and sat beside Yilan to take care of her.
"Alas, Wu Lone, it's me who is not good. I've already taken the medicine, and in two days, it will be fine in two days, so don't worry. Yilan had just drunk the medicine, and there was already a slight sweat on her body, buzzing her nose to comfort Hua Wulone. I learned that this is a common cold, as long as you drink plenty of water and rest, even if you don't take medicine, it will get better immediately.
To tell the truth, in fact, his body is already very good now, and he usually follows them to practice boxing every other day, and his physical strength has also improved greatly, if he is not forced to drink medicine twice a month by Hua Wulone, Yilan almost completely forgets that he still has poisonous injuries on his body. Because of this, when it rained two or three days ago, and there were already signs of a cold, Yilan didn't take it seriously at all, and the next day he still went to class as usual to prepare for class, until he was discovered by the shadow and told Hua Wulone, and then the palace was not at peace. Looking at Hua Wulin and the emperor's nervous appearance, Yilan was not only moved, but also moved.
"Sixth Master, today is the thank-you banquet held by Concubine Yi, it's hard to say that I won't go, why don't you go quickly? It's already a lot better, or I'll go with you now. Afraid of the cold during her illness, Yilan wanted to sit up, but she was reluctant to have a warm quilt, so she shrunk her whole body in the quilt.
"Don't mess around." Hua Wushan was a little angry and a little self-blaming. In the past two months, there have been continuous spring floods on the land of the empire, and I have just resumed my errands, and there are many things that need to be re-understood, so I almost put my mind on official business. In the evening, when I have time, I mostly entertain all kinds of officials, and hold the famous Six Kings Mansion dinner in the hall of the middle courtyard. By the time the banquet was over and she returned to the study, Yilan was often already resting, and she was full of alcohol, so she was too embarrassed to disturb her. So although they lived in the same house for the past two months, they almost took a picture in the morning, and they didn't even say a word. He only learned that Yilan had a cold after listening to Chaiying, but it was already very serious at that time, and he had a high fever the next day.
"Yi Guifei, that's a drunkard's intention is not to drink, and I was worried that I couldn't find a reason not to go, but now it's not just right." Hua Wulin stretched out his hand to tidy up the thin quilt and kneaded the acupoints for Yilan. "I've already asked Chasing Ying to confess, what else can she say."
To tell the truth, what Yi Guifei did couldn't hide from Hua Wulone, she couldn't effectively arrange people around Hua Wulone, it didn't mean that Hua Wulone couldn't arrange people to her, the day Yi Guifei and Xiangguo met, Hua Wulone and Yilan already knew, and they were also careful in their hearts. But work is to be entertained, not to mention that most of the people who can be princes and masters are respected Confucians or generals with outstanding military achievements, even if they are Hua Wulone, they can't be taken lightly.
"You better go, I really can't get up, she's so hard to be afraid that it's coming at me, I haven't even go, if you don't go, maybe she will hate me." Yilan said so helplessly, but listening carefully is a little proud.
"If you don't go and push me into the fire pit, you think it's beautiful." Hua Wushan pouted childishly, "What if she wants to stuff her niece, the girl named Smoke, into me again." His expression was really aggrieved.
"You, when did you clean yourself so well." Yilan is really angry, how can there be such a thing, there are one or two hundred in the house, and he looks like an innocent virgin.
"You can't roll your eyes anymore." Hua Wulu glared at Yilan, who was lying on the bed and was not honest, "Where am I not clean, I have slept outside your house every day for so long, how can I spend the night elsewhere?" ”
"Hmph, I don't know if I stayed overnight elsewhere, but in another six or seven months, I will congratulate the sixth master on the import of Ding again." Unceremonious rebuttal.
"Ylang Ylang." Hearing this, Hua Wu, who was still smiling just now, pulled down his face suddenly, to be honest, this child was the last thing he wanted. He thought about saving the best for the night of the wedding with Yilan, and constantly warned himself not to overstep in the backyard, but in the end, even he didn't expect to have a child.
"No matter how generous Yilan is, he still cares." Hana Wu thought to himself.
The atmosphere was suppressed at once, "Wu Lone, angry? Ylang tugged at his sleeve flatteringly. Alas, he would be angry at the mention of it, but Elan didn't know why he was angry.
