Chapter 15 Cousin Concubine's Embarrassment Cousin Qian appears
Soon, as the number of guests who came to congratulate increased, the concubine Shu was divided into three waves, the high-status and older ladies followed her in the main hall, the young daughters-in-law and the little daughters-in-law were entertained by Princess Yao and the side concubines on both sides of the side hall, and the young girls were brought to the warm pavilion by the two girls in the house and Yao Xuan.

The eldest girls were received by Gong Yan, but the younger girls, Concubine Shu ordered Yao Xuan to greet her, laughing that this granddaughter who seemed to be her own in-law, Gong Wei became the one who helped.
And although everyone was a little surprised by this, they were even more happy and satisfied, because the palace concubine was born by the former princess's maidservant, and the biological mother is now just a concubine, and everyone knows it.
The children who can be brought to the palace are all favored descendants of the family, and those who are elders naturally prefer them to associate with people from the same background.
Yao Xuan had been instructed by Princess Yao beforehand, and at this time she responded generously, and Princess Yao lent her the two palace maids around her, so she didn't feel any pressure.
Gong Yan led the group of girls to the warm pavilion, and everyone naturally divided into two rooms according to their age.
Gong Yan, as the highest status among the girls present and a serious host, is naturally surrounded by everyone and complimented. And Yao Xuan was born in the Hou Mansion, and she is the niece of the head of the palace, and she is also very mixed in a group of little girls, but the palace concubine is not embarrassed or embarrassed, and neither side can interject.
Gong Yu is not aggrieved in her heart, but compared to the 'sensible' shrinking in her mother's yard and not coming out, she would rather face her grandmother's cold eyes, and also want everyone to know that there is a second girl in Prince Jinshun's mansion, instead of never appearing in front of people until she marries out of the house!
And only if she has been seen by those ladies, it is possible for someone with a high door to ask to marry her in the future, instead of being married to a stable place on the frontier with a random reward!
Gong Yu made up her mind to behave, and didn't dare to go to Gong Yan to interject, so she turned to Yao Xuan's house, and leaned over with a smile: "Sister Xuan, can these pastries still suit the appetite of big guys?" ”
Without waiting for Yao Xuan to answer, Gong Yu looked at the girls around her with the appearance of a big sister: "If there is anything that the sisters want to eat and play, just say it, and I will let them arrange it." ”
Yao Xuan's guests in this house, the youngest is still held by the nurse, and the oldest is only eight or nine years old, at this time, I saw the palace girl suddenly enter the house and talk to herself, the sensible shook her head and smiled without speaking, looked at each other frankly, and looked at Yao Xuan again, no one squeaked, and those ignorant didn't even react.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a moment, Yao Xuan hurriedly got up with a smile and grabbed Gong Yan's hand, and shook her as if she was close: "I know that my sister is worried about me, my sister has already arranged it, and there are people around my aunt watching, so my sister can rest assured." ”
As Yao Xuan's voice fell, a maid brought in a few boxes of new pastries, as well as sweet water with fruit cubes, plus some exquisite toys and small gifts prepared by Yao Xuan in advance, for everyone to choose their favorites.
"Oh...... That's good. Gong Xuan's face turned red suddenly, barely maintaining anything, and patted Yao Xuan's hand with a smile, "Then I'll go back to that house, Sister Xuan has anything bad to arrange, just send someone to tell me." ”
Yao Xuan smiled when she heard this, and didn't mind giving the little girl some face, after all, she was the daughter of the prince's mansion, not the girl from her cousin's family, so she politely sent her two steps: "Then thank you sister first." ”
It wasn't until the curtain behind her was lowered by the maid that Gong Yu bit her lip with red eyes, and her fingers under the sleeves were clenched tightly, and she was watched by the maids around her, she didn't even dare to burst into tears, for fear that the elders would know and blame her for disappointing her fun.
Finally suppressed the choking in her throat, Gong Yan reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth, walked through the hall and entered Gong Yan's room, but when she saw the people around Gong Yan, her expression stiffened again.
Gong Yan didn't notice that Gong Yan had left, but Qian Wen beside her raised her eyes to look over, then got up and gave a blessing, and at the same time opened her mouth with a gentle smile: "Cousin Yan, how is the house over there?" When I came, I saw my cousin go in. ”
"Huh?" Gong Yan was busy avoiding Qian Wen's salute and returning the salute seriously, she couldn't help but panic when she heard this, and after seeing Gong Yan also frowning and looking over, she hurriedly squeezed out a smile and explained, "I saw that there were maids coming in and out to take things, so I was curious to take a look, Cousin Xuan has prepared a lot of delicious and fun things." ”
"Oh." Gong Yan said in his heart that he was not generous to their family, but he only responded lightly on his face.
She hasn't lifted the ban yet, and if she wants outsiders to see something, I'm afraid she will have to be punished.
"Really? It seems to be a lot of fun. Qian Wen straightened back and stroked his sleeves, the smile on his face was warmer, but his eyes were still cold, "I heard that this Cousin Yao is very fond of the concubine, I have been curious for a long time, so Cousin Yu will introduce you on your behalf." ”
Although Qian Wen's words were polite, the tone was completely intolerable to Gong Wei to refuse, and when Gong Wei faced the most favored Miss Yan of the Qian family, she had always lacked confidence, so she had to smile and lead the other party to the next door.
Her biological mother's family is a slave of the Qian family, and she is not favored, where can her confidence come from?
Behind them, Gong Yan knew that this cousin was used to making faces, and he didn't worry about the other party getting into trouble in the past, so he only continued to talk and laugh with other guests.
Besides, Yao Xuan's side, because of her funny words and deeds and cute manners, and she came up with some fresh tricks to coax the children to play, so most of the little girls have a good impression of her, and those who have other thoughts will not shake their faces in front of them, so when Gong Wei and Qian Wen entered the house, what they saw was a room full of joy.
"Sister Girl?" When she swept into the house, Yao Xuan turned her head to look and saw that it was Gong Yu and a soft and white little girl walking in, so she got up and greeted her with a smile, "Who is this?" ”
"Ah...... This is the cousin of the Yao family. Under the gaze of Qian Wen and Yao Xuan, Gong Yu hesitated for a moment and then did not answer Yao Xuan's words, but introduced her to Qian Wen first, and then turned to Yao Xuan, "This is your Qian family's cousin, three years older than you." ”
According to her age, there is nothing wrong with her introduction order, Sister Xuan will understand...... Gong Yu comforted herself like this in her heart.
But unfortunately, Yao Xuan is sometimes not as empathetic as she thinks.
Although Yao Xuan is only the eldest daughter of the unsealed Hou Mansion now, with her aunt here, she can at least be crowned a county monarch in the future. Although the Qian family is a big family of eunuchs, but because of the status of the former Tang Dynasty relics, they have never been knighted, where is Qian Wen more noble than her?
"Oh, it's Miss Qian, please come in and sit." Yao Xuan ignored Gong Yan's cousin's cousin's title, smiled politely and politely raised her hand, "If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive me." ”
