Chapter 129: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet
Ouyang Leadhua recalled Mrs. Mei's resentful expression in Bihua Palace that day, and finally understood why she had that expression.
Ouyang Leadhua asked, "Have you found out what happened to Mrs. Mei's father?" ”
Yu Sheng also gritted his teeth and said: "It is said that it is still in the hands of Lord Hua." ”
Ouyang Leadhua paused for a moment and ordered, "You go and inform General Xiang to rescue Mrs. Mei's father." In addition, go to the senior brother to get two strong anti-poison injections, and send one to Qinsu Palace and Yong'an Palace, just say that it is the order of the palace, no matter who sends the food in the palace, it must be carefully investigated, if there is a mistake, the first to open the knife is the palace maid of the two palaces. In addition, the concubines of the Hegong Palace were not allowed to make any food and send it to the pregnant concubines, and the same would be true in the future. ”
Yu Sheng nodded and went down immediately.
After Ouyang Leadhua's order went down, the concubines of the Hegong Palace did not dare to make a mistake, and when Dongfang Qianyu heard about it, he praised Ouyang Leadhua's ability. Ouyang Qianhua knew very well in his heart, Dongfang Qianyu knew all this, but he still needed to rely on Hua Zhilang's help for now. can only endure the flower concubine again and again, Ouyang Leadhua not only helped Mrs. Mei this time, but also solved the problem for Dongfang Qianyu.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and the palace is very lively, and the lights are lit up early. Ouyang Leadhua has been busy with Chinese New Year's Eve these days, full of bright red and gold, this is the first time that the main color in the palace has changed back after the death of the first emperor.
Dongfang Qianyu didn't seem to like purple very much, Ouyang Leadhua didn't understand the reason, so he also relied on his temperament, since he didn't like it. All the purple was gone.
There are only three children in the palace, and Dongfang Qianyu has prepared gifts for each child, and Dongfang Rao is a concubine. Her red envelopes are naturally much bigger than others.
Dongfang Rao was already able to speak, and said "Father Xie" in a milky voice, which made Dongfang Qianyu laugh.
Dongfang Chenghong is higher than Ouyang Leadhua in a blink of an eye, and he looks a lot more stable, and he has been in Bihua Palace these days when Dongmen Tinglan is raising a baby. On the contrary, Dongfang Chengye has never grown tall. Dongfang Chengye looks like Dongfang Qianyu, and Dongfang Chenghong's appearance is inherited from his mother. Dongfang Qianyu has not paid attention to this child for a long time. Now seeing Dongfang Chenghong's appearance, I couldn't help but shake my head for a while.
Dongmen Tinglan seemed to realize something, and hurriedly called softly: "Your Majesty." ”
Dongfang Qianyu only then relieved. The gift was handed over to both children at the same time. Dongfang Chengye was very excited when he received the gift, but Dongfang Chenghong was just faint and didn't have any expression.
His indifferent expression reminded Dongfang Qianyu of his mother's listening to the rain at the east gate. The woman's temperament is the same as the child's. Time. Dongfang Qianyu's thoughts drifted away, and the concubines present all noticed the emperor's distraction, but no one dared to remind him anymore. Dongmen Tinglan's face was not good-looking.
The Empress Dowager Dugu was the last to arrive, and the three children who followed her, the Empress Dowager Dugu was still the mother of Dongfang Qianyu in name and the queen mother of the underworld, so Ouyang Leadhua reminded her that Dongfang Qianyu realized something. Go to the Empress Dowager Dugu and say goodbye.
When the Empress Dowager Dugu shouted to get up, Ouyang Leadhua raised her eyes and happened to see Dongfang Qianhua's face. He seems, again.
Afraid that he would lose his mind, Ouyang Leadhua hurriedly turned his eyes away.
At the beginning of the song and dance, it was a palace banquet and a family banquet, and all the relatives who came were relatives of the emperor, kings and grandchildren.
After three rounds of drinking, Dongfang Qianyu suddenly said half-jokingly: "Zixi is also not a small boss, Zi Ling has been married to the underworld for more than a year, Zixi, as a sister, you should also hurry up." ”
Dongfang Zixi was a little nervous when she heard this, after Dongfang Qianyu ascended the throne, she was afraid of this royal brother for no reason, and always felt that the imperial brother was not as gentle as jade as before, and now that she suddenly mentioned her marriage, she was even more afraid, he used her as a bargaining chip for political transactions. Even Queen Dugu and Ouyang Leadhua became nervous.
Dongfang Zixi replied softly: "Brother Xie Huang cares, Zixi still wants to accompany his mother for a few more years." ”
Dongfang Qianyu's eyes were as warm as ever, but his voice was undoubtedly firm, and said: "The queen mother has both children and daughters, but you, wait a little longer to become an old girl, General Mao Hongda Mao is young and promising, and he has been admiring you for a long time." ”
Dongfang Qianhua heard that the wine glass in her hand tightened, and she hurriedly said: "After Zi Ling left, the queen mother has been unhappy, and now it is better to keep Zi Xi by her side for a few more years." ”
Dongfang Qianyu shook his head, he naturally knew in his heart that General Mao, Dongfang Qianhua and Dongfang Qianwen were celebrating the festival, so he naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire, and said: "I thought that Prince Ouyang chose a concubine that year, how could I enter the East Palace with the appearance of my two imperial sisters, but as a result, Zi Ling fell in love with His Royal Highness Yuan, and Zixi was delayed, if I didn't arrange it for her, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty for me, the imperial brother?" ”
It is clear that the singing and dancing in the hall are still continuing, but the atmosphere is extremely embarrassing, what kind of goods is Mao Hongda, Ouyang Leadhua is very clear, and just wanted to make a sound to relieve it, the voice of the Empress Dowager Dugu over there came coldly: "Since the death of the first emperor, the palace has been in poor health, with Zixi by his side to take care of it, the palace is more at ease, why does the emperor even want to deprive this?" ”
Dongfang Qianyu was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "Since the queen mother said so, it is naturally difficult for the sons to refute." ”
Dongfang Qianwen said coldly: "What is that Mao Hongda, everyone in Beijing knows that General Mao's character is corrupt, and he lingers in the Qinglou all the year round, and a while ago it was rumored that he was molesting women from good families, and the imperial brother really took care of the imperial sister, and she was also the eldest princess of our underworld, why did she have to marry that scum." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall took a breath of cool air. Who doesn't know, this Mao Hongda is Dongfang Qianyu's henchman, and King Wen is so sarcastic, it will undoubtedly offend Long Yan.
Dongfang Qianyu's face was really ugly to death, Ouyang Leadhua just wanted to make a sound to ease, then he saw Mrs. Mei on the side, handed her a look, she naturally understood, hurriedly got up and said: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the concubine thinks that the eldest princess and the second prince have gifts, and the concubine and Sister Lan's children have not yet been obtained because they are not born, and the emperor is not allowed to be biased." ”
Mrs. Mei is a smart one, and her coquettish tone suddenly eased the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall, and Ouyang Leadhua cast a grateful glance at her, she just smiled lightly.
Dongfang Qianyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed and said, "I haven't thought about this, and I will definitely make it up to you in a while." ”
Ouyang Leadhua gave Yu Sheng a look, Yu Sheng nodded, Yu Sheng took out two exquisite jade Ruyi, and sent them to Concubine Lan and Mrs. Mei respectively with the palace maid. (To be continued......)
