Chapter 253: Meng's Birthday Banquet
On the night of the sixth day of the second lunar month, the sky was drizzling with a light rain, the air after the beginning of spring was slightly wet, the cold wind was still sluggish, and the street was foggy at dusk, which made people inexplicably a little depressed.

"Lord Wang, do you feel better today?" Di Qing's round face has lost some weight recently, without him, not to mention that the prince of his family is injured, he is not happy in his heart, as the prince's follower, he is naturally not in a good mood.
Jing Yao stretched out his arm and let the maid and Di Qing dress him, Di Qing held his right hand, afraid that he would be uncomfortable.
"Fortunately, the external injury has healed, but it is raining, and there is a faint pain inside!" Jing Yao smiled lightly,
Di Qing's nose was sour when he heard this, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, this is the root of the disease, Jing Yao's heart is clear, for the sake of that Yunrong, let alone a little injury, I am afraid that it will kill him, and the prince will not hesitate to do it, but when he thinks that the prince's mind is a bamboo basket to draw water, he is sad.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first month, in order to make Jing Yao happy, Di Qing picked a few women from the major Qinglou music houses in the capital to come to the palace to play the piano and music, several of them looked a little like Yun Rong, Jing Yao did lose his mind when he saw those women, but when Di Qing intentionally or unintentionally wanted them to serve Jing Yao on the night of the dance, he was rejected by Jing Yao shaking his head and laughing.
No matter how similar it is, it's not her after all, it's not her, and he has no way to use others as her stand-ins.
Since then, Di Qing has known that his prince is hopeless.
"Lord Wang, since you are not steady, let's not go, just let Changshi go to Meng's Mansion to celebrate your birthday on your behalf, Meng Xiang won't mind!" Di Qing frowned and persuaded, holding his hand and putting it down, very worried.
Jing Yao shook his head and refused to agree, he wanted to go, not for anything else, because he knew that Yun Rong would go to the Meng Mansion tonight, now how difficult it is for him to see her, and how difficult it is for him to see her, and how difficult it is for him to see that night, his imperial brother must know, maybe he will guard against him in the future, he will do nothing, he will not say anything, when he can see her, he will look at her from afar!
If he can't realize even this little extravagance, he feels that his life is meaningless! After so many years of idleness, the prince has been obsessed with this matter all his life, he can be wronged by anything, but no one wants to deprive him of the right to love!
If you can see her tonight, you will earn it, and who knows when you will see her again? Maybe another three years! So he has to go today!
He can't figure out his mind now, and he doesn't know what he wants to do, just follow his mind, others are uncomfortable for him, but he is comfortable in his heart, and the pain in his body can make his heart numb, let alone the injury for her?
He never thought that he would pass by in the wind and snow in the thousands of flowers, without touching a single flower, but he didn't expect that his love in the end was full of holes and the soul of love.
Jing Yao sneered a few times, hung his wide sleeves and stepped out, Di Qing sighed secretly and could only hurriedly follow.
The carriage of the palace was made from the west street of the royal road all the way to the east street, and the old ministers of the three dynasties of Meng Yan gave the mansion to the people not far from the imperial city when Dahuan opened the country. The carriage crossed the West Street to the east, and the desertion was replaced by the bustle and noise, even if the weather was wet and cold, it did not affect the atmosphere of Meng Yan's birthday at all, and there was an endless stream of congratulatory guests at the door of the house.
Standing at the door to greet the guest is Meng Yan's eldest son Meng Jue, that is, the father of Concubine Meng, because the guests are all distinguished guests, he should personally greet him, fortunately after the night falls, the light rain has stopped, but the bluestone outside the house is still a little slippery, Meng Mansion is such a high lintel, the people in the house are very meticulous, after the rain stopped, there are people spread layers of red felt pads outside, in case the guests slip, make a lot of trouble.
When Jing Yao got off the carriage, Meng Jue hurriedly greeted him, the seventh prince was seriously injured and came to congratulate him in person, Meng Jue was naturally grateful, when Concubine Meng didn't shout to marry into the palace, Meng Jue also thought about marrying her daughter to Jing Yao, so she was very concerned about Jing Yao.
Jing Yao was dressed in a white brocade robe, standing outside the carriage with a smile, quite the temperament of a jade tree in the wind, Meng Jue saluted and greeted him with a smile, and the two walked a few steps further, when they heard a voice of concern behind them,
"Lord Wang, have you ever healed your injuries?" The sound is like a spring breeze.
Jing Yao turned his head and took a look, and found that the person who came was Yun Zheng, Yun Rong's brother! At that moment, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It's almost good!" Why are you here so late? ”
Yun Zheng secretly glanced at his expression, and found that his face was still pale, where is the big deal, he must have come with illness, Jing Yao's injury that night, others only knew that he was hit by a carriage, but Mo Li had already told Yun Zheng that Jing Yao was injured to save Yun Rong, when he knew that Jing Yao had thoughts about his sister, Yun Zheng was very worried,
It stands to reason that at this time, he wants to avoid suspicion and keep a distance from Jing Yao, but Yun Zheng is not an outsider, when someone said that his nephew would be the prince, he could beat that person out and not cause trouble, but now Jing Yao is injured in order to save Yun Rong, even if someone chews the root of his tongue again, he must be grateful to Jing Yao for maintaining it, this is Yun Zheng, frank and open, the wind of a gentleman! Do anything worthy of your conscience.
Although Yun Xiaotian was arrogant back then, he was very strict with their children and grandchildren, and Yun Han followed him the most, but Yun Xiu, he only glanced at her when she was in her infancy and left. Now my sister's personality is really with my grandfather.
Yun Zheng's eyes were slightly sour, and he felt sorry for Jing Yao, so he bowed for a long time, and then told Meng Jue: "Please forgive Master Meng, I have been delayed for a while because of some family matters!" ”
"Haha, Yun Erlang is polite, the two of you are invited to come in!" Meng Jue smiled and welcomed the two in,
When the Empress Dowager Chu brought Concubine Meng in the palace, the Meng family did not show that she was close to the Chu family, and now she knew that her daughter was not dealing with Yun Rong in the palace, and it did not affect Meng Jue's hospitality to Yun Zheng at all, and even remembered the love between Meng Yan and Yun Xiaotian back then, and had a good relationship with the Yun family.
When Jing Yao and Yun Zheng entered the mansion, the calm and broad style of the hundred-year-old wang clan was fully revealed, which was really incomparable to the family on the side, and the servants of the Meng Mansion inside and outside the courtyard were busy in an orderly manner, all with smiles on their faces, neither humble nor arrogant, and their bearing was calm, which opened the eyes of many high-ranking officials and nobles who came to congratulate their birthdays.
The pavilions and pavilions in the Meng Mansion are grateful, and the rockery and flowing water have both the atmosphere and grace of the northern courtyard and the charm of the south of the Yangtze River. The outer courtyard is the old man of the Meng Mansion receiving male guests, and the inner courtyard, the old lady of the Meng Mansion and the ladies of each room are receiving the ladies and ladies of each family, lively but not messy, no matter how ghost the weather, the Meng Mansion still holds this birthday banquet more festive than other people's wedding banquets.
Just as the guests inside and outside the hall were seated, and the birthday banquet was about to begin, the shrill voice of the eunuch came from the door.
"Your Majesty has arrived, Concubine Rong has arrived, Concubine Meng has arrived!"
The ministers were shocked, Fang Zhijing Heng personally came to congratulate Meng Yan on his birthday, and then looked at the entrance of the hall, and saw Meng Yan and the whole Meng Mansion coming out to greet each other.
After Jing Heng got out of the carriage, he stood at the door of the Meng Mansion with the second concubine, he glanced at it with a smile, Fang Jue Meng Mansion was simple and magnificent, and at this time, a large number of people knelt inside and out, and even the inner relatives of the Meng Mansion came out to greet him.
"Flat!" Jing Heng said with a smile, his voice clear to expel the boredom after the rain.
Meng Yanfang greeted him inside, and when he walked on the red carpet in the middle of the courtyard, the little guy who was being held by Lexing had his eyes lit up, and shouted to one of the people in the crowd with his teeth and claws.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, Yu'er wants to hug..."
No matter where they are, Jing Wenyue's children are sparkling luminous bodies!
