CH.14 Hurriedly giving congratulatory gifts

The seventh princess and Lan Qiduo have always been good friends, and she is older than the eighth princess, at this time, when she heard the conversation between the eighth princess and the fifth princess, she just glanced at it contemptuously and did not speak! It's been so many years since Xiaoba did this, and he really can't get on the stage, and Liu Wanyi doesn't know how to really teach!

However, her personal maid hurriedly came over at this time and said a word in the ear of the seventh princess, and the seventh princess instantly exclaimed: "How is it possible? ”

Her exclamation attracted several people on the side, and because she was a pregnant woman, the people who paid attention were even more strange!

"What's wrong with Your Highness? But upset stomach? ”

"Yes! Your Highness, if you are uncomfortable, don't hold on, a generous person like Princess Yuanjia must be able to understand your discomfort! ”

This is Ming Huang's provocation, Lan Qiduo heard such a sentence when she came in, it happened that her temper was not good today, and she coldly ordered Xiao Tuxi: "Try to provoke the sisterhood of the palace, please let this young lady out!" ”

The young woman in the autumn fragrance color never thought that Lan Qiduo was coming! I never thought that today was Princess Yuanjia's birthday, she didn't give face like this, so she naturally didn't feel much joy in her heart, gritted her teeth and smiled: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" The courtiers have absolutely no intention of sowing discord! ”

"Mrs. Chen, on the second day of the sixth month of the sixteenth year of Kangtai, the palace went to Zhou's house for a banquet, and took a walk in the garden to enjoy the shade, and happened to hear you talking to someone, saying that if it wasn't for the seventh sister marrying Yuan Kaixuan, it would be you."

After Lan Qiduo said this expressionlessly, the whole room was quiet, and everyone was surprised to see this lady Chen, who had always had a reputation for elegance, and saw the seventh princess looking at her incredulously!

After all, it is Lan Qiduo's own birthday banquet, Lan Qiduo doesn't want to make things out of control, but when he comes to his own mansion, he has to listen to people to sow discord from it, Lan Qiduo is not so big-bellied, and it is a coincidence that this Mrs. Chen's husband is the concubine of the seventh sister in her previous life, and it is strange that Lan Qiduo can tolerate it!

"For the sake of the Chen family's ancestors, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, this palace doesn't want to worry too much, will Mrs. Chen go out by herself or will this palace let someone throw you out?"

The Seventh Princess looked at Mrs. Chen angrily with a pair of eyes, and the person she was waiting for desperately pressed her arm, and kept comforting: "Your Highness is angry!" Your Highness is angry, the matter here can be handled by His Royal Highness the Nine! ”

Seeing that Lan Qiduo was so ruthless, the eighth princess secretly felt bored, but she didn't dare to continue to be presumptuous, although she didn't want to admit it, Xiao Jiu, a dead girl, had a temper and even their father would retreat.

Mrs. Chen's face was blue and red and unpredictable, and she hurriedly went out with her head down, as if she could feel the malicious and sarcastic eyes behind her, and the way she was pointed at by those young ladies when she went out in the future, she only felt that this ninth princess was really her nemesis!

"Xiao Jiu, you help me down and rest for a while!"

When Lan Qiduo named Mrs. Chen, she knew that the Seventh Princess must have something to ask.

Sure enough, when the seventh princess waited for the guest room, she asked Lan Qiduo with a slashed face: "You already knew that she wanted to marry that bastard Yun Kaixuan?" ”

"I don't know, I didn't know who she was."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

The tone of the seventh princess's questioning was so clear, and the maidservants beside her kept giving the seventh princess a look, but she couldn't make anyone say anything else.

"What's there to say about this kind of thing? You were preparing to get married at that time, should I tell you about what other people think of your colt, and then add a blockage to your heart? ”

The seventh princess was speechless for a while, and she hesitated for a long time before complaining: "Then you should tell me at the right time!" There is such a person who has malicious intentions towards me, and if you hadn't said that I wouldn't have realized that she actually held a grudge against me! ”

Lan Qiduo said with a pale face, "I forgot! ”

Seven princesses are angry!

Lan Qiduo really forgot, since he has changed the selection of the seventh princess in her previous life, there is no need to know about other people's family affairs, after all, it has nothing to do with them, right?

What Her Royal Highness the princess did was indeed for the good of the Seventh Princess, but if someone else also stood in the position of the Seventh Princess, I am afraid that I would not be happy to know that there is a woman who will never forget his concubine.

But the seventh princess reacted quickly: "Speaking of this, I just heard about one thing, my father gave you and Xiahou Yi a marriage?" ”

"Well, there is such a thing."

The seventh princess was angry again, stood up and poked Lan Qiduo's head with her stomach and said, "Do you think you are stupid!" Xiahou Yi has not said anything at the border for so many years, he is rude and rude, and he is not in the middle of his father and mother, I heard that the master of Huguo Temple gave him an order, it is the reincarnation of a bad star. ”

"You also said that you heard about it, and besides, why didn't I know that you cared about me so much?"

used to talk about Xiahou Yi, who was gossiping and gloating, but I don't know when I had such a good relationship with her! I heard that for her sake, she gave the eighth princess a slap at the gate of the palace a few days ago!

The seventh princess was a little unnatural, and then said confidently: "You are my sister, I naturally have to care about you!" Or what do you say? ”

The feelings between people get along, there are so many sisters over the years, and finally she found out that no matter how good her sisters and sisters are in front of her, they may say bad things about her behind her back, see her ugly, and block her, anyway, they will be happy no matter how embarrassed she is.

Only Xiao Jiu has never been lukewarm to her, but if she has something, Xiao Jiu never shirks, just like when she came out of the house unhappy two days ago, the first thing she thought of was to come to Xiao Jiu. Although Xiao Jiu was not happy, he entertained her with delicious food and drink.

"That's it, the words of the parents' matchmaker, everyone came over like this."

Lan Qiduo said that the seventh princess couldn't figure it out more and more, she was used to it, Xiao Jiu was different from their sisters in everything, but she really listened to the words of her parents when it came to marriage, which made her a little puzzled.

Some tentatively asked Lan Qiduo: "Then do you like Xiahou Yi?" Got a crush on him? ”

Lan Qiduo glanced at her: "With our identity, what do you say you like or dislike." ”

"But I just like Yun Triumph."

Lan Qiduo didn't speak, she was naturally satisfied with Xiahou Yi, did she like it? Naturally, there are, but there are definitely not as many as Xiahou Yi likes her, otherwise she should be angry after her father gives her marriage, instead of being satisfied like now, and even planning how to live with Xiahou Yi in the future.

"Everything is in order! It's not a big deal, weren't you worried a few days ago that I'm almost past the age of the Great Qi Law? It's just right now, and no one will talk about this in the future! ”

The parties concerned accepted it so calmly, what else could she say as an outsider: "Then don't talk about this, today happens to be your birthday, and it can be regarded as double happiness." ”

Lan Qiduo tugged at the corners of her mouth, this pair of happiness was obviously asked for by Xiahou Yi herself, but she accepted this intention.

It's not really interesting to celebrate a birthday, it's just a group of people getting together to eat and drink, Lan Qiduo also knows that at this time he also understands Emperor Kangtai's good intentions, probably the father also thinks that this is Lan Qiduo's last birthday before marriage, so he wants her to have a birthday easily, after all, the birthday of the future marriage and the birthday after marriage, the mood must be different.

Lan Qiduo finished eating the longevity noodles, and took the gifts from the old lady of the Tu family, the wife of the patriarch and the close elders, and was about to arrange some fun things! I heard that the porter came over and said that General Xiahou Yi took the post and asked to see him, saying that it was Her Royal Highness Fangchen, the princess of the Republic.

Lan Qiduo paused in front of the people and said, "Go and invite him in, and then take him to the table of the imperial brother and uncle." ”

Which of these ladies in it is not a human spirit? They had long known that the crown prince and his uncle had come to celebrate Lan Qiduo's birthday, but looking at the tone in which Her Royal Highness the princess spoke, it seemed unusual.

Someone tentatively said, "But a distinguished guest has come to the door?" ”

"It's not a distinguished guest, it's the cavalry master Xiahou Yi hired by the East Palace for Jing'er."

Since she was asked, Lan Qiduo would not hide it, she generously and lightly said Xiahou Yi's name, but the ladies whispered a little.

Youxiu couldn't help but speak: "I'm afraid that General Xiahou's move is unreasonable, Your Highness is unmarried after all." ”

Lan Qiduo raised his head and glanced at the person who spoke seriously before he said, "Oh, this palace just forgot to say that my father just gave Lord Xiahou a marriage for this palace this morning!" ”

"Ah......h

"Marriage?"

"Your Highness is talking about General Xiahou Yi, Xiahou?"

"Yuanjia, what you said is true?"

The old lady of the Tu family was still worried about Lan Qiduo's marriage a moment ago, but when she heard the news of the marriage, she excitedly held the maid's hand and stood up to ask Lan Qiduo.

Lan Qiduo had a shallow smile on his face: "Your Majesty's golden mouth is naturally true." ”

The lady who just said that Xiahou Yi was unreasonable couldn't wait to find a crack to get into at this time, now it's okay, one moment ago, he said that he was a person, and the next moment the world is justifiably coming to the door! Lian really snapped.

Lan Qiduo obviously didn't want to act recklessly like in her previous life, and the girl didn't mean anything else when she spoke, which she could still distinguish: "I didn't want to tell you, first, His Majesty just got married today, everyone doesn't know that there are extenuating circumstances, and men and women really should pay attention to it, since there is a marriage contract, Lord Xiahou came to the mansion to take advantage of the trend, and secondly, the news of the big wedding in this palace will always spread out, rather than hearing about it from other people's mouths, it is better for this palace to tell everyone in person." ”

After Lan Qiduo finished speaking, he glanced at the girl who spoke, and the girl glanced at Lan Qiduo gratefully, only feeling that Princess Yuanjia was not at all different from the rumors.

When Lan Qiduo was talking about Xiahou Yi's arrival, Xiahou Yi was dressed neatly, and rarely wore a pure black embroidered gold-rimmed gown, and his waist was tied up with a piece of mutton fat and white jade.

As the saying goes, "a man should be pretty, and he should be covered with soap", and the clothes were made by the master of Linglong Pavilion a long time ago, and Xiahou Yi only waited for a suitable time to use this set of clothes.

When he really waited for someone to go in and spread the word, Xiahou Yi looked a little inexplicable, Ding Sheng has always been the one who is responsible for taking care of everything for Xiahou Yi's aftermath, seeing Xiahou Yi's expression at this time, he couldn't help but quietly take advantage of the fact that there was no one and said a little nervously: "Master, do you think where is the preparation inappropriate?" ”

In the past, they didn't have time to prepare anything, although there was a housekeeper to give the palm of the hand, but the housekeeper didn't know how many years ago the old Huang Li did this kind of thing, and now I don't know how, although Ding Sheng said that he was used to being by Xiahou Yi's side, but when he encountered this kind of big event, he had to be nervous, and at this time he suddenly realized that the master was really going to marry Her Royal Highness the princess this time!

Xiahou Yi stood there and thought of the picture of Lan Qiduo crying yesterday, and now that he came back to his senses, did he say that although Yuan Jia cried, he still agreed to this marriage in his heart?

"Your Highness invites Lord Xiahou to go to the side hall. Lord Xiahou, please! ”

Although he knew a lot about the road in Lan Qiduo's mansion, Xiahou Yi still held back the excitement in his heart and followed at this time!

Ding Sheng handed over the gift list to the big butler who came to receive them.

The big housekeeper took the gift list, only rubbed it with two fingers, nodded imperceptibly, this gift list looks not thin, but after really going down, he opened the gift list and looked at it, he was shocked, where is the birthday gift, it is simply a dowry gift! It seems that His Highness still has to make an idea about this matter, which is too heavy!

Lan Qiduo had already returned to Mrs. Tu at this time, she would rather listen to the commentary with the old ladies than with a group of three aunts and six wives, at this time, the big housekeeper came in with Xiahou Yi's gift list!

The old lady of the Tu family knew that the candidate for the concubine was Xiahou Yi, and she was very happy for a while, and took Lan Qiduo's hand and said: "You are also fateful, I remember that when you were a child, you went to the house as a guest and accidentally got late for shrimp balls and were allergic, or the children of the Xiahou family used earthwork before stopping." ”

Her old sister, who died early, has such a grandson, and it is comforting to know that she is an old man, doesn't she just want to see her children and grandchildren full of family harmony?

Because there is a screen separating it, the rest of the people can't see what the three ancestors and grandchildren inside are saying, but Lan Qiduo frowned a little when he saw the gift list in the hand of the big housekeeper, Xiahou Yi is stupid, how can there be so many things for a birthday gift?

"What's wrong?"

The old lady of the Tu family is now happy in her heart that Lan Qiduo's marriage has been decided, or Xiahou Yi, a young man she has seen and thinks it is not bad, seeing Lan Qiduo frowning and casually asking.

Lan Qiduo simply saw the two old ladies sitting on the side, and pushed the gift list to them: "The two grandmothers help me to see, is his gift list too out of line?" ”

The patriarch's wife's eyes were already spent, and she couldn't read the words very clearly, so she simply asked the chief housekeeper to read it to her.

The chief housekeeper looked at Lan Qiduo and saw that there were several people outside and they were all listening to the commentary, so he nodded.

Although gold, silver, jade, glass, and jade are all materials, the royal princess is golden, and there are so many good things that have been seen, but they are not very rare.

“…… A pair of porcelain vases with gold flowers and butterfly patterns, a pair of silver gilt hollow lion dance hydrangea ornaments, a pair of jade pixiu to ward off evil beasts, a pair of blue and white glazed plum branch ear vases, a pair of porcelain dusters with entwined branches and hibiscus, and a pair of colorful chicken feather dusters......"

Hearing the feather duster, the old lady finally couldn't help laughing, this is what the mother's family often prepares for their daughter to prepare a dowry, Lan Qi Duou was also a little embarrassed when she heard the old lady Tu laugh, she didn't look carefully just now, Xiahou Yi This guy even gave a feather duster!
