After all the ladies finished talking at the door, they just stepped into the gate of Feiqiong Palace, when they suddenly heard a terrible shout, and they were a little stunned, and they all turned their heads to look at the Li family. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Li smiled ugly and said, "The dog is not sensible and rude, and I ask the ladies not to mind." Then he turned back to Ye Yao'er and whispered, "You go up first to see what your brother is doing?" Let's wait for the opera to start. ”

Ye Yao'er nodded, saluted with the ladies, and went upstairs.

Everyone also knows that there is a concubine in the Xiangfu who has a foot disease, and after the sister-in-law goes, the Xiangye wants to cultivate this son to inherit the family lineage. But from this point of view, this second son is far inferior to the second son of the Marquis of Zhongyuan's Mansion. Sure enough, the concubine is always the concubine, and it can't become a big thing. Just like his mother, she is not a wife, no matter how much she has the means, she will never be able to enter the palace, and she will never be able to get rid of the title of "concubine" on her head.

As soon as Li looked at their different looks, he knew what was going on in their hearts. Fang Cai is still beautiful, how can he be happy when he is knocked off the clouds?

She was silent for a moment, adjusted her expression instantly, and welcomed everyone in with a smile.

The Huajia team is a famous opera troupe in the Huaizuo area, taking advantage of the New Year's Festival to enter Beijing to earn some silver taels. The ladies and ladies of each mansion like it very much, and they are lined up to listen to a play every New Year. Today, it is considered that Mama Jin is capable, and she has set up this team, which has also added a lot of luster to her face.

Thinking of this, she looked back at Mama Jin, who was following her calmly, and said, "Go backstage to see if they are ready." ”

Mama Jin answered and turned around.

When they came out again, the ladies had already gone up to the second floor and sat down according to their seats.

This Feiqiong hall has six elegant rooms, the window of the courtyard is made into a fan shape, hanging the vine green drag Luo Mizi bead chain tulle, you can open the curtain when watching the play, it is extremely convenient. The room is also equipped with a soft couch and a tea stove, which is exquisite and meticulous. The noble ladies in Beijing are about the same as this, and when they see such an elegantly decorated place, they can't hide their joy in their eyes.

Mama Jin walked into the private room where the Li family was, whispered a few words to her, and then quietly withdrew. Li slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the stage. After a while, the sound of playing and singing musical instruments came from the stage downstairs, and the red curtain slowly opened to both sides—the play began.

Suddenly, there was a creak on the door, and Li looked up and saw that it was Ye Yao'er who came, so he hurriedly took her hand and sat down, and asked softly, "What's wrong with your brother?" ”

"I heard my brother say that he asked the slave to pinch his leg for him, and he was accidentally pinched and hurt, so he shouted." Ye Yao'er said truthfully, seeing that the Li family looked displeased, she said with relief, "Mother, don't be angry, it's not beautiful to be angry again!" ”

Li Shi was laughed at by her, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Your brother, it just doesn't make people worry!" Over the years, your father has also wanted to cultivate him, but he is good, and he is not self-motivated at all! It's really infuriating. After that, she stroked Ye Yao'er's hand and said pityingly, "Fortunately, my mother still has a good daughter who knows how to be filial to my mother, if you can marry a good family, then my mother will not worry." ”

Ye Yao'er suddenly blushed, and said with some surprise: "My daughter is still young, and my daughter still wants to stay by her mother's side for a few more years." ”

"Are you still young? It's a big girl in her twenties! Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "When the time comes, you will become an old girl, see who wants you!" ”

This Ye Yao'er usually looks obedient and domineering, but when she talks about this, she suddenly shows a little shyness of her little daughter's family, and soon lowers her head and is silent.

Li looked at her for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Mother's daughter is naturally the best husband in the world. My mother thinks that the little prince of the Marquis of Zhongyuan Mansion is a good candidate, do you think you like it or not? ”

"Mother!" Ye Yao'er snorted and said in a low voice, "He...... I haven't seen what kind of daughter he looks like, how do you know if you like it or not? ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Indeed." When the words fell, her eyes lit up again, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet in two days?" Mother asked your father to find a way to mention it in the emperor's premise, and strive to let you go to the palace too. The prince of the Marquis of Zhongyuan will definitely attend the palace banquet when he arrives, you can just go and see, think about it yourself, and tell your mother when you come back. ”

Ye Yao'er pinched her sleeves and nodded.

Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry suddenly withdrew her gaze from the stage, turned her eyes to see the Li mother and daughter whispering, and giggled: "I heard that Yao'er was married last year, right?" Have you ever had an eyebrow? ”

"There shouldn't be anything like that." Mrs. Shangshu also laughed, looked at Ye Yao'er lovingly, and said, "Sister Li loves Yao'er so much, she must be reluctant to marry her in her heart!" ”

"That's not what I said." Hearing this, Mrs. Zuodu Yushi answered, "The man should marry and the woman should marry, and Sister Li is a smart person, so she may not have no calculations." There are only so many sons who have become young in Beijing, if Sister Li has a crush on someone, and say it to us, we can also take care of it for you! ”

The few people sitting in the room all nodded and looked at Li expectantly.

Li Shi smiled faintly, thinking that these people really couldn't hold their breath, and they couldn't hold back after a while. She is not completely ignorant of the changes in the court. Nowadays, the struggle for power and throne of several princes is fierce, and the Prime Minister is one of the few moderate forces, not involved in the competition of interests, but the emperor's order is obeyed. In fact, this is the smartest, after all, no one can guarantee which prince will inherit the unification in the future, and if you stand on the side too early, there will be no room for turnaround.

She has been married to Xiangye for more than ten years, and she has long been twisted into a rope. Even if she has a Longxi Li clan behind her, the daughter who marries out is like water spilled out, if something happens to the Prime Minister's Mansion, in order to protect herself, the patriarch of the Longxi Li clan will definitely not care about her. Therefore, she must be extra cautious and careful with every step she takes.

Two generations of heroes in the Marquis of Zhongyuan's mansion, in addition, thanks to the favor of the saint, the protection of the queen mother, and inside, there is a general Wei in charge of 100,000 soldiers and horses. Although the eldest prince of Yun is not bad, but in the end he is not the biological son of the Marquis of Zhongyuan, and his status is inevitably low. And although the second prince of Yun has a bad reputation, she heard that he is not useless, and he will definitely attack the title in the future and inherit the court of the Marquis of Zhongyuan. If her daughter marries him, it is equivalent to having the Marquis of Zhongyuan Mansion as a backer, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is bound to soar into the sky, without worries. When the time comes, who will dare to laugh at her daughter for being a concubine? Who would dare to laugh at her for being just a concubine?

The sisters laughed, and the younger sister was still very open-minded about Yao'er's marriage. As long as she likes it, then I, a mother, will naturally not hinder it too much. Li pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly looked up at Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "However, there have been many rumors in Shangying City recently, saying that the only daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is in love with a noble son, and now she is making trouble with her family." I wonder if it's true? ”

As soon as she mentioned it, everyone's eyes looked at Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Works.

They had all heard about this matter, and said that the son they liked was the son of the patriarch of the Han Chun Gao clan. The Ministry of Industry is subordinate to the East Palace, which is something that everyone knows. At that time, not long after the crown prince took charge of the East Palace, there was a flood in Huaizuo, and the emperor gave him power and ordered him to control the flood and supervise the construction of the dam. This is clearly to hand over the Ministry of Industry to the prince to take care of. However, Han Chun Gao is the mother family of King An and King Ding, and King An and the crown prince have been incompatible for so many years in order to compete for imperial power, and everyone knows it.

Now that the only daughter of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has fallen in love with the son of the patriarch of the Han Chun Gao clan, isn't that a mess?

As soon as this incident came out, the East Palace was inevitably suspicious of the Ministry of Industry. Can the life of the Ministry of Industry be better?

Sure enough, speaking of this, Mrs. Shangshu's face was a little difficult to look at. lowered his head and took a sip of tea in disguise, before he sighed and said, "My daughter's family is not sensible, but let the ladies see the jokes." Xin'er, like me, plays little love and listens to dramas, and Xu has watched too much "Tianxian Pei", so she has a yearning for those little loves. After all, when she is a little older, she will understand. No matter how much trouble you make, can you still turn the world upside down? After that, she rubbed her forehead and said a little indifferently, "Let's stop talking patronizingly, the Hua family team is difficult to invite, let's not live up to Sister Li's intentions!" ”

The crowd looked at each other and wisely said no more.

At this time, Mama Jin walked in from the outside and leaned into Li's ear and said, "Someone from the door came to report that it was the jade chariot of the eldest princess Chunxi who came to our prime minister's mansion." ”

"Eldest Princess Chunxi?" Li Shi was slightly stunned, and asked with some surprise, "Why did she come?" ”

When she said this, she didn't deliberately lower her voice, and the ladies around her naturally heard it, and they all looked at each other for a while, not knowing why.

It is said that the eldest princess of Chunxi is the sister of the current emperor, who is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager Yinci, and lives in the eldest princess's mansion in Shangying all the year round, and does not go out easily. Only during the New Year's festival can the ladies enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Yinci, and they may see her in the Yongshou Palace.

What's even more strange is that the eldest princess is now nearly thirty years old, but she has never seen the emperor's decree to marry. At that time, the Khitan in the Western Regions repeatedly violated Great Qin, and later proposed a peace covenant on the condition that each of the two countries marry a princess to each other's territory. But for some reason, this covenant was nullified. The Khitan State was naturally furious, and for more than ten years, it had caused unrest on the border of Daqin.

It stands to reason that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who is flying and indescribably expensive, should not look down on the small gatherings of these noble circles. Occasionally, when I met them in the palace, I ignored them, why did I have to go over the house today?

The Li family frowned and pondered for a moment, but she vaguely remembered that a branch of the Li family in Longxi had a relationship with the current queen's relatives, and the queen was the eldest princess's sister-in-law. But it's just this meager relationship, and it won't be taken out to say. What's more, even the queen never cared, let alone the eldest princess?

Mama Jin whispered to the side: "Madam, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she should go out to greet her in person." ”

Li nodded, looked at the half-played opera on the stage, and slowly got up. Mrs. Shangshu, who was sitting on her right, also stood up and said, "Since it is the eldest princess of Chunxi who has arrived, our ladies will naturally go out to greet her." ”

All the ladies responded, and they all moved.

"So, Mama Jin, you go and talk to the head of the flower team, this play will be performed again when the eldest princess comes!" Li Shi turned his head and ordered.

Mama Jin nodded, lowered her hands and sent the ladies downstairs, and saw them leave the Feiqiong Palace, then turned around and walked towards the back of the stage.

At this time, Ye Hao upstairs couldn't sit still. It is okay for him not to salute the female dependents of these ministers, but if the noble eldest princess comes, he will not have the courage to stay still. What's more, he has inconvenient legs and feet, so he doesn't want to limp like a fool on crutches!

So he turned his face and looked at Ye Sheng: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here, let's stop watching the show, okay?" ”

Ye Sheng also looked at him, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Listen to the son." "He usually comes and goes in a sedan chair, and no one dares to bump into him in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This time, she ran into the eldest princess of the dragon blood and phoenix marrow, and she couldn't be so rude, so she had to think of ways to avoid her and go back to the house to hide. Ye Sheng laughed secretly, and immediately lowered his eyes after saying that.

Ye Hao sighed, although such a Ye Sheng is extremely well-behaved and obedient, no matter how you listen to it, you can hear the shallow depression in her voice, and no matter how you look at it, you can see the faint disappointment in the corners of her eyes. He had no choice but to say, "Since you still want to watch the play, then you can continue to stay here." Remember to wait and follow your mother's side, and when you see the eldest princess, you can't be as unruly as just now. If you offend her, I can't save you! ”

"Thank you, Childe." Ye Sheng smiled slightly, although this Ye Hao is incompetent and lustful, but his heart is not bad.

Ye Hao said "um", and before leaving, he took the opportunity to touch Ye Sheng's hand, and then he smiled and humped down.
