Chapter 44: Another Dim Sum
The New Year's banquet is the beginning when the emperor comes up, and Hu Xianfei and other harem concubines are different, there is a concubine who is said to be a favorite concubine, but she came up with the emperor, and the concubine is Helianduan's mother, it is said that she was originally just a palace maid, but because of her beauty and temperament, she was favored by the emperor, and since then she has flown on the branch and become a phoenix.
Rong Le originally thought that Concubine Shu's special way of arrival should be cold, but it turned out that not only Concubine Hu Xian, but all the concubines present did not react, Rong Le was taken aback, knowing that it was one thing, and seeing it was another, such a situation has clearly shown that Concubine Shu's special is not once or twice, one or two days.
"Old Five, Hezhou is okay, that's what I specially left for you" The emperor said in a harmonious voice, the smile on his face was not broken, among the princes here, Helian Xuan was the first to be asked, which can be regarded as an honor.
"Hezhou is very good, and there is a father and emperor sitting in the capital, and the barbarian tribes around are also quite peaceful," Helian Xuan replied respectfully.
Helian Xuan's face is a little bad, most people don't know, but these princes know each other that this Hezhou is located in the south, not to mention that the climate is not only warm in addition to the name, but also because of the region, there are many vegetables and fruits that cannot be seen in the capital, all of which are tributed from the south, such as the Zhu Guo that Rong Le ate when he was in Hezhou before, is one of them.
This is a real opportunity to show your face, not to mention other channels to make money.
King Yue got married the year before last and specially asked the emperor for Hezhou, but unfortunately the emperor did not agree, because the emperor had already promised Concubine Hu Xian that Hezhou would be Helian Xuan's fief, the reason was because Concubine Hu Xian herself was from the south, so she hoped that Helian Xuan could see the style of the south.
People like to listen to good words, as the emperor Helian Zhao is no exception, listening to Helian Xuan's words, he immediately laughed happily, and let people reward him with delicious food and wine, so he continued to ask other princes questions.
If you want to say that Rong Le has any hobbies, Helian Xuan can see it, he loves to eat and is greedy, don't look at the little one, Helian Xuan is sometimes curious, where does Rong Le eat, especially Rong Le also loves sweet, this is a hobby that Helian Xuan can't understand.
Thinking of what happened in Concubine Hu Xian's palace before, Helian Xuan quietly handed a stack of small snacks on the case to the dumbfounded Rong Le.
Rong Le wanted to cry a little, no matter how quietly he gave it, could the princess sitting next to Helian Xuan not be able to see it, and the people here were all shrewd, where would they miss Helian Xuan's movements, there were already many people at this time, who were quietly looking at where Rong Le was sacred, and could let Helian Xuan do this.
The reason why it is said to be quiet, it is just a little cover-up, if it weren't for Helian Xuan's identity, I am afraid that Rong Le would have been led out to judge by now, and lowered his head, Rong Le didn't dare to look at his eyes secretly, let alone think about the princess's expression at this time.
Next to Concubine Hu Xian, a little palace maid whispered something to Concubine Hu Xian, Concubine Hu Xian's expression did not change, but the smile on her face became deeper.
"Fifth brother is so Yaxing, younger brother admires" King Yue, who was under Helian Xuan's head, teased, and was about to say something more, but was glanced at by another prince next to the emperor, and in addition to the emperor, the only prince who could wear bright yellow clothes, the words in King Yue's mouth were suddenly held back, and his face was a little unsightly.
"Fifth brother come, let's get together today, let's just drink, and rest in the palace when we get drunk" King Yi said to Helian Xuan, as if he hadn't seen the scene just now.
"The fourth brother's good amount of wine, the younger brother can't compare, but as the fourth brother said, get together today, when you float a big white" After saying that, he took the lead in drinking a full glass.
"Okay, the fifth brother is good" King Yi is also full of a cup, and after drinking, he has his own palace maid to fill it.
After three rounds of drinking, the emperor has left ahead of schedule with the concubine, and the concubines have gradually left when they see that the emperor has left, and the princes and ministers have slowly ended.
"Your Royal Highness, slow down" The princess carefully supported Helian Xuan, Rong Le has been following Helian Xuan, wanting to come forward to help, but was lightly glanced at by the princess, Rong Le felt weak in his heart, but Hui Qiang did not shy away at all, and helped the princess to help Helian Xuan into the room.
"Princess, master, the slaves and maids will retreat first," Hui Qiang said, bowed, and turned to leave.
Rong Le also wanted to leave, but was hinted by Mama Xu, who was beside the princess, that she wanted not to leave first, obviously what the princess meant, but when Rong Le accepted his fate, he was held by Hui Qiang, who was about to leave, and actually wanted to take Rong Le away directly.
"Miss Huiqiang go back first, Rong Le hasn't been back to the princess for a long time, let us talk well" Mama Xu said with a smile, secretly said in her heart, it's a pity that the princess has already entered the house to see the princess, and I don't know if I can stay Rong Le.
Hui Qiang smiled slightly, "There are still things that the master has explained, and I can't do it alone", Hui Qiang looked at Mama Xu with a smile after speaking, and sent it away with just one sentence.
Mama Xu's face stiffened, this is talking about the master, but she can't take care of it, even if the princess is there, I'm afraid that most of them will let the two leave.
"In this case, the two girls should come back early, if Rong Le is free, remember to come and see the old woman" Xu Mama said with a smile, secretly regretting in her heart, she didn't expect Hui Qiang to be so polite, I was afraid that she would see another meaning of herself, and she couldn't even delay time and wait for the princess to come out.
"Sister Huiqiang," Rong Le hesitated.
"You don't have to think about it, I'm helping you because my master wants me to help you," Hui Qiang said calmly.
"Also, I can help you once, but I can't help you all, you can only stand up on your own," Hui Qiang continued, and this time the words were a little more harsh.
"Yes, anyway, thank you sister just now"
Hui Qiang didn't say more, Rong Le didn't speak well, the two returned to the front yard in embarrassment, of course, maybe only Rong Le himself was embarrassed, because Rong Le understood that Hui Qiang was right, if he didn't stand up, no one could help him all the time.
After placing Helian Xuan, Princess Mu Qingling walked lightly to the outer room.
"The person is gone" The princess seems to ask, and it seems to state the result.
"Yes, the old slave is useless" Mama Xu said guiltily, the princess's confession, she actually failed like this.
"It's not a big deal to go, Mama is tired, go back and rest," the princess said indifferently, as if she didn't care.
Mama Xu wanted to say something, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, and then retreated.
"By the way, today's incident, this concubine doesn't want to spread any rumors, Mama knows what Ben Concubine is talking about" Mu Qingling said lightly, but Mama Xu heard the warning.
Mama Xu froze when she withdrew, where did she not know what the princess meant, although she was the princess's grandmother, she was also a member of the Mu Wang family.
shuddered, Mama Xu said secretly, the eldest lady has really grown up, and her heart is relieved.
"The old slave understands"
