Chapter 221: A Treat
The two families had just exchanged pleasantries for a while, and relatives and friends arrived. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info became married, the identity changed, and these entertainments were inevitable, but fortunately, they were all relatives of the Zhenguo Mansion, although there were also people who flattered them, but they all knew the proportions and did not let Le Yi deal too much.
When Mrs. Zhongyong came over with her children, it was relatively late, and she apologized to Mrs. Meng, who smiled and said that she just had too many rules, and it was all important that the family had something to do earlier, besides, the banquet had not started yet, so it was not too late. Mrs. Zhongyong greeted everyone in turn.
When she saw Le Yi, she saluted according to the rules, and Le Yi returned a half-salute, and Guo Shuyan and Guo Shucheng behind her also saluted.
"It's hard for the crown princess to come out, but her complexion is getting better and better." Mrs. Chung Yong looked at her and smiled.
"Mrs. Xie Bo cares, today is the birthday of the old lady, so naturally I can't miss it. It's just that this summer is coming, and the weather is really hot, so I don't want to go out on weekdays. Le Yi said with a light smile, she also blocked a lot of people who wanted to deliver the post through Mrs. Zhongyongbo's words.
"Yes, it's okay now, in another ten days and half a month, let alone going out as a guest, it's hot when you go out of the yard, hehe." Mrs. Zhongyong said with a smile: "This year, it will be very hot to look at, whether it is the elderly or children, you have to pay attention." ”
When it comes to the elderly and children, yes, it's too hot, and it's really inconvenient to go out at that time.
Le Yi looked at Guo Shuyan and said with a smile: "Mrs. Bo is right, I also said before that I wanted to invite Sister Shuyan and the child to come to the house as guests, it is better to meet by chance, and I will post to my sister in two days." At that time, Sister Yun and Sister Yue made an appointment to bring their children together, and taking advantage of the current weather, everyone was lively and lively together. ”
This is a rare good thing, Mrs. Zhongyongbo's eyes lit up when she heard it. The daughter was very strict with her in-laws at her in-law's house, and even she couldn't persuade her to take her granddaughter to her house for two days, and she rarely saw each other on weekdays. Originally, according to her temperament, she wanted to talk to the Cai family well, but she was stopped by her daughter, but she just went out less, and there was nothing else to treat her badly.
And today, Yan'er was invited by the crown princess to be able to go out and walk around more, make friends with some people, which is good for her, and even better for Jia'er!
"That's really good, I'll prepare when I go back today, just waiting for the crown princess's post." Guo Shuyan was very happy and smiled gently.
"Hello, sister remember to bring Jia'er over."
"Hmm!"
Guo Shucheng on the side saw that her complexion was indeed much better than before, and she became more and more bright, and her heart had mixed feelings, both happy for her and very sour. He couldn't say anything on such an occasion, and after saying hello, he went to the place where the men in the front yard were drinking.
Being able to stay with her family for most of the day, as well as Aunt Ying Meng Fei and them, Le Yi was in a very relaxed mood, and she didn't feel too tired when she returned to the prince's mansion in the evening, so she continued to go to the study to write down today's events.
Three days later, almost all the relatives and friends who received the post arrived, which made the originally quiet Prince's Mansion immediately lively.
Although there are not many people, there are more than ten adults in total, but there are many children, big and small, the three children of her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, Zheng Yun, Jingyue and Guo Shuyan's children, as well as Meng Fei and Meng Ping and Yan Zixuan. Although they all had their own nurses and maids watching, Le Yi was still not at ease, and instructed them to take care of them with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and incense and lotus.
Everyone gathered in the main house to greet the children for a long time, and then went to the garden behind the main house to enjoy the cool scenery.
The pond behind the Prince's Mansion was not large, and it was unsafe to have so many children, so Le Yi set the location in the garden. In the past two days, she instructed Xiao Lizi to set up several long tables, placed them in the shade of the garden, spread tablecloths on them, and placed pastries, melons and fruits, flowers, tea, etc., on them according to the buffet form of the previous life, for everyone to eat. The delicate food is paired with a variety of flowers in different shapes in the bottle, which is both pleasing to the eye and appetizing. Chairs were placed along the perimeter for adults and children to sit on.
When everyone looked at such an ingenious placement, they couldn't help but praise and praise. The older children were still a little restrained, but under the leadership of Yan Zixuan and Meng Fei, they happily ran around the garden after a while, and the younger children kept trying to break free from the arms of the nurses, so the nurses had to hold them and follow the older children.
For a while, the laughter of the children in the back garden made Le Yi think that she had entered the children's paradise, she smiled and watched them run, turned around and said: "I am very quiet here on weekdays, but now you are here, it is much more lively." ”
"It's coming, it's coming, you don't have to panic." Wu Hui shook her head and smiled.
"Yes, these three in the family are enough to make trouble on weekdays." Jiang Yiting drank flower tea.
"That's good, let them cultivate their feelings from an early age, and when they grow up, they will be like us, and they can still get together in their leisure time and have a place to talk." Ruoling, who was three months pregnant, was unwilling to be lonely and also came.
"It's true, our Qiong'er needs companionship the most." Zheng Yun looked at the daughter who was smiling in the nurse's arms and showed a mouthful of small white teeth, and sighed secretly.
"And our family's Jia'er, who doesn't go out much on weekdays, you see, the one who can't let go of her the most at this time is her." Guo Shuyan looked at the daughter who was standing aside with a good hand and holding the hand of the nurse, not chasing or catching up.
"Sister Guo doesn't need to worry, how good is Jia'er, well-behaved and clever, and she will be liked when she looks at it." Jingyue's first child is a son, and I hope that this second child can give birth to a little girl.
"There are so many male dolls today, and I don't know if Ruoling is a man or a woman in her belly." Jing Yue suddenly said curiously.
"I like it both men and women." Ruoling said indifferently.
Le Yi looked at the fourth sister-in-law and Nie Xiaoqian, who had not spoken, and said with a smile: "How good it is that you have children and daughters, but you have to consider those of us who have no children." ”
Jiang Yiting was already good friends with Nie Xiaoqian, and Tao Yan was her own brother and sister, when she heard Le Yi say this, she quickly understood, and laughed: "Actually, it's better to have a child later, it's too early to hurt your body." Moreover, if the child comes later, the two couples can also live a good life first. ”
"Yes, with a child, everything is involuntarily, when there were two people in the past, they could still go out for a walk, but now they are completely tied up." Jingyue pretended to be worried and pestled her chin.
"You, you're all mothers, and you're still playful." Jing Rong looked at her sister with a smile, and then said to Tao Yan and Nie Xiaoqian: "Brother and sister and Mrs. Shizi, don't be too anxious, I was pregnant with Jingming very late, and my grandmother and mother comforted me not to be too anxious, this anxiety is even more difficult to conceive." ”
"Thank you sisters for your kindness, I know it all in my heart." Nie Xiaoqian smiled, but she knew that she knew, but in the eyes of her in-laws, life was not so easy.
The married women here also know in their hearts, but this kind of thing is not clear, and they can only walk through it on their own.
Ruoling looked at them and then at Le Yi, frowned and said, "I said, our crown princess, you don't want to be a mother, do you?" ”
Looking at her who suddenly became serious, everyone was stunned and looked at Le Yi together.
"Why, I'm not old yet." Suddenly, so many pairs of eyes looked at it in unison, and Le Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right, although Your Highness is already very old, but you are only fifteen years old, you can't have a child so early!" Ruoling said it when she was talking about Yan Zizhen's age, looked around and lowered her voice.
Her appearance and this sentence made everyone present laugh with a snort, but then she quickly smiled and straightened her posture, this is talking about His Royal Highness the Prince, Le Yi's husband!
Le Yi looked at her with a smile and a smile, and said in a low voice: "Do you think I should wait for His Highness to come back and relay this sentence to him?" ”
Ruoling was stunned, everyone couldn't help laughing again, and Yue'er, who had been sitting quietly, was also snickering.
"Oh, don't, I didn't say that to make you young, hehe." Ruoling looked at her a little nervously, and kept winking at her: "What kind of friendship do we sisters have, how can we say anything." However, even if you say it, I am not afraid, because what I said is the truth, you are young and your body has not yet grown, and it is not appropriate to give birth too early. ”
This made everyone nod in unison, that's right!
"Alright, alright, I see, thank you, sisters. Let's not talk about the children's experience, let's talk about something else, for example, let's get together every once in a while, think about where to go in advance, see the flowers, and look at the scenery. Le Yi looked at the lively scene today and suddenly made such a decision. It is not easy for women in this era to get married, they have to take care of the old, they have to take care of the young, and there is a husband in the middle, and there is too little time for themselves. She was a little worried about whether she would be like this in the future, so it was better to start taking the initiative to find her own fun now, and to be able to bring everyone together and discuss with each other about something.
"Good! That's a great idea! Zheng Yun's eyes lit up.
"Haha, there are a lot of fun places, every time I change them." Xiaoshuang raised her hands in approval.
Le Yi's sisters-in-law glanced at each other and were also very interested, but Jing Rong smiled bitterly and touched her belly: "Then I may not be able to participate in the near future, I have to give birth to this baby first." ”
"Ugh." Ruoling also sighed with a bitter face: "Me too!" ”
"Haha." Le Yi laughed: "Don't worry, the day is set in advance, if you encounter something or inconvenient, you don't have to come every time, just to say, having such an opportunity is better than staying in the house every day." ”
Everyone nodded unanimously in agreement, expressing their strong agreement, and the thought of coming out often made everyone feel very good.
Guo Shuyan was even more excited, but when she thought of her in-laws at home, she suppressed her excitement again, not because she was afraid that her in-laws would not let her come out, but that they would be very happy that she could come often. What I'm afraid of is that when the time comes, will she ask for good or not? This made the joy in her heart fade a lot. After all, it is because of this that the in-laws don't let them go back to Bofu often, because there are some things that their mother really can't help, and she can't open that mouth.
Just after chatting here, the children ran back with chatter, and suddenly there was a scene of joy.
After the maids fetched water, washed their hands and wiped their faces, the older children ate what they could eat, and the nurses who needed to be fed were busy feeding, and they were very busy for a while.
Seeing that Zheng Yun, who was carefully feeding Qiong'er, was always a little worried, Le Yi walked over and pinched Qiong'er's fleshy face, which made her giggle.
"You can use some too, and don't worry about us." Zheng Yun said with concern.
"I used a lot of breakfast, and I'm not hungry now, so let's eat together when the children finish eating." Le Yi smiled, and then asked softly, "Why does Sister Yun keep frowning, but what's wrong with it?" ”
Zheng Yun fed his hand and smiled bitterly: "Is it so obvious?" ”
"Since I had Qiong'er, my sister has actually frowned very much, but she has been wrinkling it today." Le Yi took the small bowl in her hand and fed a spoonful to Qiong'er, Qiong'er saw that someone else had fed her, not only did she not cry, but she also grinned at her, and the smiling Le Yi was soft-hearted and smiled at her.
Zheng Yun looked at her daughter's smile, her heart softened even more, she finally had Qiong'er, and the rest was up to him, she slowly spoke: "It's Qiong'er, his father has taken a concubine." ”
"Oh?" Le Yi raised her eyes in some surprise, looked at her bitter face, and knew in her heart, Sister Yun is sad!
"You also know, Qiong'er is more than a year old, and my mother-in-law saw that my stomach was not moving again, so she rewarded him with a girl, he was also in a hurry, so he accepted it without saying a word." She sighed, looked up at the sky, and hid the sourness in her heart.
"Sister wants to open some, since this kind of thing can't be avoided, then don't be too persistent." Le Yi knew that she was greatly influenced by Mrs. Zheng, and she didn't like concubines and the like, but the problem was that the Li family didn't care so much about this, for them, it was very worthy of their wives to take concubines at this time, after all, they had been married for several years, and Sister Yun only had a daughter, maybe this was the reason why Li Yu didn't refuse.
"I understand, don't worry, it's only a while, it's enough for me to have Qiong'er." She looked at her daughter's cute little face lovingly.
"Besides, what's the use of him tossing again, after all, he can't have any more children."
