Chapter 5
Jiang You paused, and then asked with a puzzled expression: "Zhuang Niangniang, no matter how bad my subordinates in the East Palace are, it has nothing to do with you, right?" If you want to rectify the slaves, why don't you give birth to a child yourself, how you want to rectify it, how to rectify it, my palace is a ruckus, and I am willing to indulge, what does it have to do with you? ”
Xiaozong's body has long been gone, if she can give birth, she still needs to please Jiang You, a bear child who doesn't eat oil and salt? It was as if these words had pierced into her heart, and she was choked up, and her hand holding the handkerchief trembled with anger.
Xiangyin hurriedly said: "It's not that Zhuang Niangniang wants to rectify the slave maid, it's that the slave and maid are not careful, and they kneel down and accept punishment." She bowed to Concubine Zhuang: "The slave knows that the mother is kind, but the slave is stupid and can't speak, and she hopes that the mother will forgive her sins." ”
Concubine Zhuang smiled reluctantly, said a few words casually, and seemed to raise her hand to touch Jiang You's face, but she suddenly dodged away, and could only turn around and hold the maid's hand.
Jiang You looked at her back, and sat down impatiently: "Don't let her enter the door next time, otherwise you will stir up trouble here in the name of an elder, and it will seem that I don't appreciate it." ”
Now that the back position is vacant, Concubine Zhuang is the most important under Concubine Shugui, not to mention that her mother's family is hard, and it is natural to be domineering, where is it said that she can refuse to go out, not to mention that she cares about Jiang You on the surface, so it is difficult for Xiaozong to say anything.
Xiangyin didn't answer, poured her a cup of tea with a smile, looked at her carefully, and suddenly frowned: "Why did you come back so early today, don't sneak out, right?" ”
Jiang You coughed a few times, blushed and said, "How can I have it, it's obvious that Mrs. Li put it early today." She said and said proudly: "I asked Taifu for several days off, and Taifu is already approved." ”
Xiangyin looked at her suspiciously: "Taifu has already sent a message, our people in the East Palace are not allowed to ask you for leave, you speak yourself Taifu and don't believe it, how did this fake Taifu agree?" ”
Jiang You took a sip of tea: "I asked Xue Zhangyin to help, but I still have good skills in Zhangyin, and I got it in a few words." ”
Xiangyin stood in place and muttered for a while: "There are some things that the slave should not say, but the emperor has never allowed Dongchang to meddle in your affairs, and the name of Xue Zhangyin is there, and it may not be a good thing for you to get too close to him." ”
Jiang You blinked: "The name of the East Factory is not very good, but most of them are ordered to do things, I see that Xue Zhangyin is very good, he is mentally and decent, and he is also neat, and he has saved me." ”
This is also the benefit of Xue Yuan, no matter how many unsightly things he has done in private, how many people say that he is ruthless, his face is always bright and graceful, he never asks people to hold the handle, and he does not see him make any mistakes.
Xiangyin sighed, took a towel and wiped her face and hands: "It's good for you, but the emperor may not be happy to see you get too close to him, then again, it turns out that you and Xue Zhangyin may not be able to see each other once a year, why are you suddenly warmed up now?" ”
Jiang You tilted his head and thought about it: "I don't know, I just think I know more with him, it seems that he is full of skills, but he doesn't like to show off, and it is much more interesting than the group of boys who read to me." ”
It is also natural for children to play with older children, and older children like to pester adults. Xiangyin knew her childish nature, and couldn't help but tease when she heard the words: "Your taifu also has the ability and is full of knowledge, why don't you see you supporting them?" ”
Jiang You said confidently: "They don't look as good as him." After speaking, he added with a bitter face: "I still love to discipline me, and I often complain to my father." ”
Xiangyin shook her head with a smile, and suddenly Jiang You grabbed her arm and shook it from side to side: "Xiangyin, you go to the Shangfu Bureau and ask them to rush one set of clothes for me." She thought about it carefully and added: "It's the style of the dancing girls dancing at last year's banquet, and there are some good pine smoke inks for me, which I will use when my father celebrates his birthday." ”
The emperor's birthday is also known as the longevity festival, and the filial piety is catching up with the root of the year. Chaos, people on the left and right are looking forward to a big event, so chong Chong is happy, Xiaozong complied with the wishes of his ministers, and really decided to hold a banquet in the calyx building.
The main hall of the calyx floor is used for banquets, and the side hall of the east and west is used as a place for dancers to place musical instruments and change clothes, at this time, there was a miserable cry from the compartment of the left side hall: "Oh my good highness, you let me do anything, it's absolutely not okay, if I let my father see it, I have to break my legs." ”
Jiang You held a colorful dress with a ringing in his hand, and said with a cold face to Zhang Donglan, who had a bitter face: "You are less here, last time you begged me to pretend to be you to fool Zheng Shaobao, last time you begged me to ask Mrs. Li for leave, can you see what I said?" Now it's time for you to repay the favor, and you still want to deny it? ”
Zhang Donglan pulled the tapestry on the waist of the dress: "But this is women's clothing." ”
Jiang You nodded, and the hairpin rings on the double-ring bun jingled: "No, it's just that I don't usually wear it, who makes this day special?" She approached him again and coaxed him: "You know, my cousins and I have never been close, and the people next to me are either not in the right place or in the wrong shape, Shuangtuozhi must have two people of similar shape to jump up to look good, and if you think about it, you are the only one, anyway, when the time comes, you have to wear a mask, who knows who you are?" If it really doesn't work, I'll help you stop Uncle Guogong. ”
Zhang Donglan didn't say anything, looking at the set of clothes with a bitter face, Jiang You blinked and said coquettishly: "Cousin Donglan~"
Zhang Donglan still frowned and didn't speak, Jiang You suddenly turned his face and stared at him suspiciously: "Don't you eat and drink for toasting?" ”
Zhang Donglan reluctantly agreed, and made another three chapters: "Not only can't my father know about this, but my eldest brother is not allowed to know about it, otherwise he will say that I will take you crookedly." ”
Jiang You nodded with affection: "You can't let Cousin Dongzheng know, otherwise he will have to sue immediately." She turned her face and looked at it even more: "I called Cheng Yue from Yuefu to teach us to practice dance, and now we should be here, what about people?" ”
She didn't come for a long time, so she said to Zhang Donglan, 'You are waiting for me here', walked out with her skirt, looked left and right, waited for a while, and didn't see anyone coming, she was afraid that people would affect her dance, so she sent everyone around her away, this time she had to go out by herself, and hurriedly ran downstairs, and saw Chengyue everyone being surrounded by two maids and walking out.
Jiang You was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going, people are here." As she spoke, she flashed in front of the person.
The two maids didn't recognize her, and when they saw her dressed in colorful clothes, they thought it was a maiko who came to the palace banquet to perform, and frowned when they heard the words: "What are you shouting in the palace, if you bump into a nobleman, be careful of being killed with a cane." ”
It's not the first time Jiang You has been disciplined, but it's really unprecedented to be scolded for something, and he was stunned for a while before he was surprised: "Which palace are you from?" ”
One of the maids straightened his chest and said: "We are from King Ning's mansion, King Ning ordered the lord of Roude to perform a war dance at the emperor's birthday banquet, and specially invited everyone to teach Chengyue." She stretched out her hand and pointed to a flower hall next to the Calyx Tower: "Our prince and the county lord are waiting there, why don't you get out of the way quickly." ”
The other glanced at her contemptuously: "Inferior servants dare to come and ask for people, and don't look at Master Chengyue if you invited it?" It's a great blessing that the realm in this palace can let you step in, and you actually ran in front of us to spread wild, I really don't know who to learn the rules from. ”
Jiang You hugged her chest and stared at her: "You people in King Ning's mansion are domineering, and the palace dares to intercept people at will, Master Chengyue I invited first, shouldn't you let it?" ”
At this time, Master Chengyue also said with an embarrassed face: "I have already said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who promised first, these two people have to raise the name of Ning Wangfu and pull me out."
The two maids had already guessed her identity, and they were so frightened that Qi Qiqi's face changed, and she knelt down in a panic, kowtowing uncontrollably.
Jiang You shook his head: "Uncle Seven Emperors has always been submissive, but I didn't expect the people below to dare to be so arrogant." She was about to ask the two to kneel for a while when someone behind her said aloud, "Your Highness, wait." ”
Jiang You turned around, and saw that it was a middle-aged man with thin eyebrows, handsome and calm, but with a bit of femininity between his eyebrows, walked over slowly, and he saluted Jiang You: "Your Highness." ”
Jiang You was slightly surprised: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, you are here so early. ”
King Ning was full of shame: "I originally wanted to bring Roude to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, but I didn't expect to inadvertently collide with His Highness, it's really my sin." ”
King Ning is Xiaozong's younger brother, it is said that he is the prince, and Jiang You's uncle, there is no need to be so humble, but Xiaozong has always been suspicious, and several of his brothers have gone back and forth to rectify it, but this King Ning is the only one who is respectful to Xiaozong, and takes the initiative to stay in the capital without seeking any official position, only willing to be an idle prince, so he is very trusted by Xiaozong, and he has never been overly wary of him.
Jiang You knew the temperament of this Seventh Emperor Uncle, and waved his hand again and again: "This has nothing to do with you, you are the prince, where can you have the leisure to manage the people below." ”
King Ning was still ashamed, and apologized to Jiang You again and again, he bowed down and said, "I'm ashamed, it's because I didn't rule strictly that the prince suffered this great humiliation." He straightened up, and suddenly his face sank: "Come on, cut out the tongues of these two stupid things, gouge out their eyes, and let them kneel to apologize to the prince." ”
Someone wanted to come up and do something in response, but Jiang You was startled, she looked at the two maids who were trembling with fright, and hurriedly said: "No need, it's not a big deal, just say a few words, they don't recognize people for a while." She coughed: "Today is my father's birthday banquet, and it's not good to see blood." ”
King Ning eased his expression, and still said respectfully: "What you said is reasonable. He glanced at them, and immediately someone dragged them down.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he took a few steps closer, raised his hand, and the attendant on one side handed over a brocade box, he smiled slightly, handed it to Jiang You and said: "This is the white jade nine chain created by the master of my life Linglong Zhai, it is not a rare thing, but it is quite clever, I think you should like it." ”
The fun-loving Jiang You really likes it, but at this time, she put her hands behind her back, took a few steps back and frowned: "Uncle Huang, if you have anything to say, family, why do you want to see the outside world like this?" ”
King Ning smiled slightly: "Your Highness is smart, you can't hide it, the minister does have something to ask for." ”
He was about to speak, when he heard a faint tone not far away: "King Ning has something difficult, you might as well let our family come and listen, maybe you can also help a little." ”
