Hatred is stubborn, spearhead is targeted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Chen family may not be too delusional, his sons are all abolished, and he still wants to fight the idea of the imperial capital. Lin Qixu smiled coldly, raised his hand and said, "Yanzhu, you go and call Mrs. Li, who is guarding the door, in." ”
Mrs. Li was summoned into the inner room for the first time, and Lin Qixu knew her well, knowing that she had two errand sons in the front yard, so she only ordered her to lean her ears over and whisper.
When Mrs. Li left in a hurry, the rest of the maids were puzzled. Lin Qixu didn't say much, but said, "Pei Jiu, you stay and guard the garden today." Mrs. Li came back and gave her a tael of silver. ”
"Yes."
The spring banquet is placed in a cool breeze platform with pleasant scenery and lakeside. Because of the cold in spring, the concubine is pregnant, and the windows are tightly closed on all sides, leaving no half of the seams, only this house is towering, the beams and pillars are extremely high, and the danying is carved with a tree, and the nail head is phosphorus. Lin Qixu stepped in for the first time, and couldn't help but look around. Until a soft voice came from behind: "Sister Lin." ”
As soon as you hear it, it's Yuki. Since she was in and out of the palace frequently, You Ji has treated her more warmly. Lin Qixu selfishly guessed that You Ji didn't know her relationship with Changping Bofu, and eighty percent had a mediocre relationship with the so-called aunt.
"Sister You, hello." Lin Qixu greeted him with a smile.
You Ji is not suitable for movement, she has a big belly and poop, but her face is pink, her skin is like congealed fat, and when you look from behind, her posture is also graceful. She said softly: "Sister Lin is the first time to come here, but I'm afraid she is not familiar with it." happened to let my sister do more snacks, and I hope my sister won't shirk. ”
Lin Qixu would not push his kindness outward, and responded with a smile.
The two of them came very early, chatted for a while, and then sat down at the bottom of the guest of honor, waiting for the arrival of the lady and the noblewoman.
The maid who greeted the guests successively led the noble ladies into the flower hall, until the opening of the banquet, the regent princess Fang brought her sister to come, wearing a golden glistening tang-colored bird depicting long skirt, the skirt was embroidered with a hundred sons and a hundred blessings, and a pair of red gold inlaid vermilion agate hairpins on the head, implying many sons and blessings, auspicious wishes.
Everyone bent their knees to say goodbye, and the princess only smiled at You Ji and said, "Sister You doesn't have to make these false courtesies, her body is heavy, so it's good to spread more soft cushions." ”
"Princess Xie cares, but the etiquette cannot be abolished." You Ji smiled softly and said, "Today, the princess's complexion looks extremely ruddy, and the concubine is also very happy. ”
Since the princess is pregnant, she still attends the banquet for the first time and entertains guests. Many noble ladies have been instructed by their husbands to be sure to marry the princess regent so that they can contribute to their own family.
There were inevitably bursts of congratulatory voices from below. Princess Regent smiled lightly, sat on the soft auspicious cloud brocade couch, and said softly: "Concubine Han Shu feels a little sick today, and it is inconvenient to attend. She looked at Lin Qixu, who was sitting not far away, and said, "Sister Lin doesn't have to be cramped, the ladies and ladies here are all gentle and demure people, but everyone gathers together to joke and have fun." ”
For a while, eyes from all directions were focused on Lin Qixu. One of them was particularly stunned, with a hint of jealousy and hatred, Lin Qixu's afterglow was slightly oblique, and he couldn't help laughing, an old acquaintance.
Chen, meet again after a long absence, don't be shocked.
"The concubine understands." Lin Qixu, as in the past, said respectfully.
Wu Ji brought the eldest prince to the banquet, and said with a smile: "No one in Manfu knows that Sister Lin is the most loved by the concubine, and she actually compares our sisters to life." ”
The guests who can be invited to the Regent's Mansion are relatives of the emperor and dignitaries, and they are secretly surprised to know Concubine Rong, but they have not seen any lady in the palace who can get the blue eyes of the concubine, and the Lin family's misconduct is already very bad, and they can pull back a game. The family is slightly lower, like Mrs. Changping Bo and Mrs. Zhao Chen, who only think that Lin Qixu is flattering and good at flattery.
Wu Ji's words are very subtle, do our sisters include the princess regent. Xie Yi frowned, and was about to reprimand Wu Ji, when he saw his sister and smiled calmly: "I am physically inconvenient and cannot serve my mother's concubine." Sister Lin has this filial piety, and the prince also has a lot of praise. ”
She was married to the regent at the age of twelve, and often accompanied her mother to the court. What kind of temperament Concubine Rong has, she couldn't be clearer. If it weren't for the fact that the prince was in the government and held great power, the princess absolutely believed that this mother-in-law would be dedicated to the Buddha and would not ask anything.
It's a pity that in the matter of Buddhism, the concubines and concubines in the palace are all famous ladies, and the second, such as You Ji, are also small jasper. In addition to the needlework girl who learned at home, she is the housekeeper and the scholarly family, Concubine Han Shu knows a little poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The previous Ning had excellent rhythm, and sometimes played the piano and flute.
The young girl's family, where can she endure her temperament, at most with her grandmother, a little rough. The concubine is quite particular about the Buddhist scriptures, and she has not had a beautiful lady who has been eye-catching all these years, so it is easy to come to a Lin family, and she is blue-eyed.
The princess regent is broad-minded and cares about raising the baby with peace of mind, and she doesn't care about the Lin family's mother-in-law's love. However, the rest of the concubines in the palace were naturally unwilling, and it was not overnight to squeeze the Lin family with words.
Lin Qixu saw that the princess gave her the steps, and came down smoothly. "As the princess said, the concubine serving the concubine is also to share filial piety and worries for the princess and princess, the princess is busy with political affairs, the princess is pregnant, and the concubine's meager strength is not enough to worry about."
What a good word. The princess regent lowered her eyes and chuckled, this Lin family made her more and more unable to guess. However, the princess was full of smiles and was extremely kind, and said: "Sister Lin, don't be presumptuous, what kind of effort, others don't have this blessing if they want to do it." ”
Lin Qixu glanced at You Ji, who was sitting quietly, and said a few words modestly.
More than half of the concubines in the palace copied and studied Buddhist scriptures in order to flatter the concubines, but no one succeeded. Later, gradually, everyone knew that the concubine had a light temperament, and they settled down.
Today's cool breeze platform, the splendid silk is piled up like clouds, and the flowers are full of flashiness. Lin Qixu sipped tea during the banquet and was silent. Most of the noblewomen of the family swept her eyes, and they all carried a faint inquiry and scrutiny, and they were blunt, and the discrimination and contempt conveyed in their expressions were self-evident.
Yuki sat to her left, quite left and right.
Lin Qixu looked at the flower hall and saw that Mrs. Changping was very enthusiastic about Chen's sister-in-law, and matched her with all the dukes and Mrs. Hou with a smile. Chan was dressed up rich and flamboyant, and he was also happy.
"Sister You, this Mrs. Changping is your aunt?"
You Ji was a little hesitant and nodded after a while. She lowered her eyes and fiddled with a few small flowers on her sleeves, raised her eyes to look at Lin Qixu, and whispered sideways: "I know, Sister Lin is also Chen's niece." ”
Lin Qixu showed a cold smile: "I am no longer the daughter of the Lin family. Naturally, Chan is no longer my aunt. She stretched out a slightly cool palm, covered You Ji's hot hand warmed by the hand stove, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Sister You's biological mother is sick in bed and can't go to Beijing to take care of her." And Sister You's mother-in-law will enter Beijing soon. ”
This matter is not a secret in the palace, and a little inquiry will be at your fingertips.
