The other side of the Jade Pavilion is also an open hall, and there are only twenty-four black lacquer mica flower screens separated from the place where Fang Cai listened. The gongs and drums on the stage downstairs are non-stop, and the sound of silk music, because they are all female dependents, there is no need to shy away from it, the banquet of several princesses and the two county lords is placed in the open hall, and the banquet of other female dependents is placed in the wing room of the Jade Pavilion.

Gu Jieyu has not officially married the Nine Emperor Princes yet, and she is also in the wing room, greeting the ladies who came to visit with Gu Yanran. In addition to the two of them, only Linglong and Gan Ming are unmarried young ladies, and the others are all wives and wives from various provinces.

Before entering the wing room, Linglong glanced at it inadvertently, and saw that Gu Keying, the seventh princess, had a little more gloom in her eyes, and it was not as radiant as she had seen when she first came.

As the princess and concubine, there was no reward from the queen at her birthday banquet, except for her own sisters, there was no inner wife, and even several princesses in the capital did not come, and the two county lords sitting in the open hall, one was the eldest daughter of the second prince, and the other was the daughter of the late King Chen, who had already lost her holy family for many years. Although Concubine Yang Hui is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, the queen has no reward, and she can only send someone to send something over in private, let alone openly cross the queen.

Although Linglong doesn't know what is going on between these royal family members, she can guess a few points when she sees today's formation, this seventh prince is not favored in front of the emperor, no wonder the fifth princess does not take the seventh princess in her eyes. When encountering this kind of thing, no matter how bright and generous the Seventh Princess is, it is inevitable that she will not be able to get off the stage. At this time, the sisters didn't help each other, and Gu Yanran had to take the opportunity to calculate her, an inconsequential person, didn't she think of it. If she really made a fool of herself in public in the Seven Princes' Mansion, the Seven Princesses would not be able to escape the blame, and when it reached the queen's ears, she would inevitably have an unvirtuous reputation.

This Gu Yanran is really okay.

There were only two tables in the wing, and in addition to a few young ladies at one table, there were also two young grandmothers from the Righteous Uncle's Mansion, both of whom were sixteen or seventeen years old; At the other table sat Liang, the wife of the Marquis of Yongding, and another wore a gold sideburns, a gold collar, and four or five bracelets on his wrists. If you look closely, it is a dragon and phoenix bracelet that you will only wear when you get married; The other is on par with her. He had a golden step and seven or eight golden butterflies, thick fingers, and six or seven gold rings.

Linglong asked Gan Ming in a low voice, where are those two sacred. Look at the glittering gold. It's richer than their surname Kim.

Gan Ming lowered his voice. But he couldn't help laughing: "That's Concubine Yang Hui's mother's family, all of them are her nephews, and it's Mrs. Yang San who wears golden sideburns." Wearing a golden step is Mrs. Yang Si. Mrs. Yang was originally just a nine-product inspection department, and later Yang Huifei sealed the concubine, long live and give the two princes dignity, and gave Mrs. Yang a spare post from the sixth grade, and there were rewards from the palace during the New Year's holidays, and the Yang family bought a field and opened a shop in the capital. But they were born there, no one took them seriously, but they loved to be in the limelight, and they were the elders of the Seven Princes, if the Seven Princesses didn't give them a post, these two would not be invited automatically, I don't believe you asked in private, the birthday gifts of these two are guaranteed to be no more than two taels of silver. ”

Linglong grinned and made an unbelievable expression: "Two taels of silver? ”

Gan Ming chuckled: "My father went to Gansu last year, and my mother didn't plan to have a birthday at home, but it was that Mrs. Yang San, who instigated my mother in front of a group of people, as if my mother was reluctant." No way, my mother had to put a birthday banquet, and solemnly sent an invitation to the Yang family, they came, and gave my mother a pair of hollow gold earrings My mother's birthday is August, it is the season to eat crabs, these two Mrs. Yang, each ate more than ten crabs, scared my mother to invite the imperial doctor to the stomach made of steel, nothing at all, the pair of earrings, my mother rewarded the maid. “

Linglong smiled so much that she almost broke her breath, and said to Gan Ming: "Mrs. Liang's birthday is really a good day, and when I celebrate my birthday next year, I will also go to eat crabs, do you think it is good for me to bring a few taels of silver for my birthday?" ”

Gan Ming smiled: "If you make a few purses and tie a few strings, my mother will be so happy that she can't close her mouth, and the women in our family are not very good at needlework." ”

The two were talking and laughing, when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps, from the bottom up, the sound of someone running on the red lacquered staircase.

Gu Xie Yu and Gu Yanran, who were in charge of entertaining the guests, frowned, where did the maid come from so ignorant of the rules and make such a big move.

But when the man ran upstairs, lifted the curtain with the continuous tattoo of the aqua blue blessing character and walked into the wing, everyone was stunned.

It was Gu Jinzhi who came in. He wore big red arrow sleeves, short black calfskin boots, and a red gold bamboo hairpin on his hair, because he was running in a hurry, his face was red, and he was shiny with sweat.

"Ouch, it turned out to be Gu Shizi, what a good brother, I came to celebrate the birthday of the Seventh Emperor Concubine in person." The person who spoke was Mrs. Yang San, and for some reason, Linglong felt that her tone seemed to be courteous.

Gu Jieyu and Gu Yanran glanced at each other, and the two of them already knew it in their hearts. Gu Yanran rushed over and said a few words to Gu Jinzhi in a low voice, but Gu Jinzhi didn't seem to hear it, a pair of eyes looked for it among the female guests, and she shrunk her neck exquisitely, pretending not to see it.

Seeing Linglong sitting there with Gan Tang's sister, Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Gu Yanran in front of him: "Seventh sister, I warn you, don't mess around." ”

Gu Yanran smiled and said: "Brother, who of us is messing around, this is the inner house, even if you are your uncle, it is not convenient to break in directly, let the Seven Princes know, you have to make fun of you, and it will reach the ears of your father, maybe you will be on duty in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." ”

Gu Jinzhi ignored her and said to Gu Jieyu, who had just come over: "Sixth sister, don't mess around with the seventh sister." Jin Wu is still a child, she doesn't know anything, if something happens to her here, even the fifth sister will be uneasy. ”

Gu Jieyu frowned, looked at Gu Yanran, and saw Gu Yanran's grievance, his heart softened, and he said to Gu Jinzhi: "Brother, what's wrong with you, you said that Miss Jin Wu is a child, can we bully a child, you think of your sister as someone, but you just ran up like this, it's not good for people to misunderstand, take advantage of the fact that the eldest sister doesn't see it, you go quickly, Miss Jin Wu will take care of it, and I will play the horse after dinner, I and the seventh sister will go first, and then pull her to go together." ”

Gu Jinzhi's face was a little pale, and he glanced at Gu Yanran, who was unhappy with his neck: "The Twelve Princes just left, and I saw him." ”

Gu Yanran's eyes dimmed.
