Chapter 40: The Palace Banquet (2)

"You go and seal some silver for Yu'er to bring back to Peach, the silver taels that Yu'er brought when she left at that time were not much, in a place like the Prince's Mansion, without silver, people will become blind and deaf, so Yu'er doesn't have to be reluctant, don't save the place where it should be spent. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The old lady thought for a moment and instructed Xiao Shidao.

Xiao Shi was still worried about bringing some silver to his daughter but didn't know how to tell the old lady, but now that the old lady said it herself, Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the old lady for Lingyu.

As he was talking, Mu Shichang came in with a curtain.

"Mother." Mu Shichang greeted the old lady respectfully, then sat opposite Xiao's, and turned his head to look at Linglong, who stood up and greeted him, "Sit down, don't pestle." ”

Mu Shichang's expression was rare and gentle, which made Linglong feel a strong uneasiness. Moreover, at this time in the past, my father should have discussed with the ** in the East Palace, why did he come back early today?

"Why did you come back so early today?" The old lady looked at her son suspiciously.

"The day after tomorrow, a palace banquet will be held in the palace, and Yu'er begged the prince to let Linglong go too." Mu Shichang took the teacup handed over by the little girl, rinsed his mouth, changed to a new tea, took a sip and said to the old lady with a smile, and the joy between his eyebrows could not be concealed, "I came back early to tell the family, so I can get ready." ”

Seeing her father like this, Linglong sighed in her heart, and the uneasiness became more and more intense. Daddy can say so, it is enough to see that his news is not from Lingyu, is it the prince? Linglong was shocked, if it was just a simple palace banquet, since the prince had already promised Lingyu to let Taohong pick him up, why did he have to tell his father again?

"The master said that he was a step too late, and Yu'er had already asked Taohong to tell him." Xiao Shi heard what Mu Shichang said about this matter, and immediately smiled and pointed to the peach standing behind him to Mu Shichang.

Pink hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.

Mu Shichang looked over with his eyes, and saw that the peach was glamorous, and he was becoming more and more prominent, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face, the peach was like this, it was enough to see that Lingyu's life in the prince's mansion was really good, and his heart was greatly relieved, but he still asked: "Yu'er is okay?" ”

Since Lingyu married to the Prince's Mansion, the most worrying thing about the Mu Mansion is Lingyu's situation in the Prince's Mansion, whether Lingyu can be favored or not, which directly affects the rise and fall of the Mu family. It's just that the prince's mansion is a royal family, and the inside news is not what the Mu Mansion can hear, even Mu Shichang can only know some useless words from the prince.

Taohong hurriedly replied: "Yu Liangdi is very favored by the prince, this time the palace banquet, the prince only took Yu Liangdi alone." "On her face is her usual pampering.

Linglong was taken aback, the prince's mansion of Nuoda, a concubine, three side concubines, such a palace banquet is the first time since the prince's wedding, and only one Liangdi is allowed to go, even if it is favored, this is not in line with the royal rules. Besides, the reason why these four concubines were able to surpass Lingyu and become the crown princess or side concubine at the beginning was all due to the power of their mother's family, and now the prince is not afraid of it?

Mu Shichang listened and looked at Xiao, Xiao nodded with a smile to indicate that he already knew what Taohong said, Mu Shichang smiled: "Yu'er is very competitive!" ”

The identity of a good di, but she suppressed the real crown princess, this is not just a fight, Linglong thought in her heart, and was about to speak, but heard her father ask again: "Is the crown princess's illness still not well?" ”

The Crown Princess's illness? Linglong raised her eyes to look at Peach.

Taohong sighed faintly and said: "The prince was angry and punished the three side concubines for grounding, and let the three side concubines serve the princess in front of the bed until the princess recovers." ”

No wonder! Linglong snorted in her heart, it seems that Lingyu is really having a good time in the Prince's Mansion. The concubine is sick, and the three side concubines are grounded at the same time, and the prince's mansion seems to be Lingyu's world, no wonder he can make time to think of himself.

"The eldest sister took Linglong to the prince's mansion, and now that the princess is sick, does Linglong want to bring some gifts?" After saying that, Linglong asked the old lady.

The old lady smiled kindly: "Naturally, you have to prepare, and you will let Liuli prepare it in a while." ”

Xiao Shi heard what the old lady said, his heart tightened, if he let Liuli prepare, then how to bring in the things he had just prepared, frowned and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai Taohong told her daughter-in-law about the princess's illness in Fangyuan, and her daughter-in-law has already prepared a gift." ”

The old lady looked sideways at Xiao Shi and said with a smile: "You have always been careful, but this is the first time we have sent something to the crown princess, her status is noble, and she must not be sloppy." Although the old lady has been dissatisfied with Xiao several times, on the whole, she is still relieved of this daughter-in-law.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Xiao Shi replied respectfully, relieved in his heart, and said: "It's that the daughter-in-law of the three girls who participated in the palace banquet this time is a little uncertain, and the time is so rushed, it must be too late to make a new one." After that, he frowned in embarrassment, and glanced at the peach as if he was nothing.

Taohong immediately said: "Mrs. don't be upset, Yu Liangdi has already prepared clothes for the third lady, and they were made by the people from the Knitting Bureau of the Prince's Mansion." ”

The old lady listened and said with a smile: "Yu'er is like you in this regard, she thinks about everything so thoroughly, no wonder the prince loves her." ”

was praised by her mother-in-law in front of her husband, Xiao Shi lowered her eyes embarrassedly and smiled: "Mother praised it falsely." ”

Looking at his wife's shy appearance, Mu Shichang was stunned, he had been married to the Xiao family for more than 20 years, over the years, the Xiao family had broken his heart for the Mu Mansion, but he was raising a three-room concubine outside behind her back, thinking about it, he was really a little sorry for the Xiao family.

"This palace banquet is not trivial, the Nine Emperors of Northern Qi are also coming, I heard the prince say that this palace banquet is the dust washing banquet of the Nine Emperors of Northern Qi." Mu Shichang coughed lightly and said.

The Nine Emperors of Northern Qi? The uneasiness in Linglong's heart surged up strongly again. Holding a banquet for the prince of another country, the attendees are naturally the royal family and important ministers, and there is no reason to let the concubine of a foreign minister's family also participate! Don't say it's yourself, it's your father, and with his official position, he may not be able to participate.

Mu Shichang was about to speak again, and his little servant called out of the window: "Master, Lord Yushi is here, wait for the master in the study." ”

"Go get busy." The old lady listened to the words coming from outside and hurriedly urged Mu Shichang to leave.

"Then the son went first." Mu Shichang got up as he spoke, swept his sleeves and said to Xiao Shi: "This time Linglong participated in the palace banquet, it is extremely important, you must prepare well." After that, he glanced at Linglong and said, "You went to the palace and listened to your eldest sister in everything." ”

Linglong hurriedly got up and nodded in agreement, and after sending Mu Shichang away, she sat down again, thought for a moment and said: "It's not too early, the eldest sister must hope that Linglong will pass as soon as possible, so as to teach Linglong some rules, Linglong wants to go back to Jinyuan to settle down first." ”

"It's okay, you go back and pack up, you don't have to come over to say hello in a while." The old lady smiled and said, "Your mother and I will think about the gifts we want to give to the crown princess." ”

This inexplicable palace banquet is full of strangeness, and Linglong can only hope that Zhaoying can now find out some useful news. Leaving Cijing Garden, Linglong took Ziyue and rushed to Jinyuan.

"Did you inquire about anything?" As soon as she returned to Jinyuan, Ziyue saw that Zhaoying had returned, so she hurriedly closed the door and asked.

The young lady went to the palace banquet, and she was not allowed to bring a maid to serve, so Ziyue was anxious in Cijingyuan.

Zhaoying twisted his eyebrows and said: "Fangyuan's mouth is very tight, and I haven't heard anything, and Xiuyuan doesn't know anything. However, when the slave came back, he met the master's little servant to take the prince to the study, and he heard a sentence without saying a word, saying that there was a Nine Emperor Prince, and this Nine Emperor Prince was very important to the prince and so on. ”

Ziyue listened to Zhaoying's words, but she didn't hear a useful word, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Miss, what can I do, you go alone, if something happens, the slave and maid don't know." ”

As soon as Zhaoying heard Ziyue's words, she raised her eyebrows and asked wide-eyed, "Where is Miss going?" ”

Ziyue bit her lip, endured her astringent eyes, and told Zhaoying that Linglong was going to the palace banquet. Zhaoying was so anxious when he heard this, "How can this be good, how can the eldest lady be well-intentioned, it will be no good for her to let the young lady go." ”

Linglong looked at these two girls who were more anxious than herself, her heart was warm, and she said softly: "The eldest lady has harmed us less times, aren't we all safe." She wanted to appease and appease the two girls, lest she go to the palace banquet by herself, and they would be uneasy.

"Can it be the same this time?" Ziyue and Zhaoying shouted in unison.

Seeing the two of them staring at themselves with red ears and red eyes, Linglong was stunned, and then burst out laughing. These two people were so anxious that they forgot their identities.

"Miss still has the heart to laugh." Ziyue frowned and pouted, "When is this happening, Miss is going to think of a way." ”

"Yes, Miss. No matter what, you must take Sister Ziyue with you, and you must take care of it anyway. Zhaoying knew that on such an occasion, Ziyue could protect the safety of the young lady even more.

Linglong shook her head in her heart, if she could take her maidservant with her, she would definitely take a photo, a place like that in the palace, it was an occasion where people's lives were not bloody, and what was needed was not martial arts.

"It's not a way to be anxious, so I'm going to the prince's mansion today, and I'll attend the palace banquet the day after tomorrow, and I can slow down tomorrow, and then I may be able to know what the big sister is doing." But you must be careful in the house. "Linglong was most worried about Ziyue and Zhaoying, because she was worried about herself, she was unstable and did things half-heartedly, so Xiao Shi grabbed the handle and punished her two.

Miss said this, she really couldn't think of any good way, Ziyue and Zhaoying had to bend their faces sadly, anxious.

Since there was no news in the Mu Mansion, and this palace banquet had to go, now Linglong could only pin her hopes on the Prince's Mansion.

The crown princess is sick, the three side concubines are sick, and only Lingyu can participate in this palace banquet among the eight Liangdi, such a situation, I am afraid that the prince's mansion does not know what the chaos is now, which one of the people who can marry the prince's mansion will be a fuel-efficient lamp! As long as you can muddy the water, when the time comes, the news will definitely spread to your ears.

Linglong hooked the corners of her mouth, and there was a smile in her eyes, unless Lingyu had no bad intentions for herself, otherwise, her regretful intestines would definitely be blue.
