Chapter 203: Sunny Day
However, just when many people, including Xu Yourong, were also inside, they thought that compared to Nie Suli, who had never appeared with Nie Yufu at all, she often appeared with Nie Yufu, and Nie Suhun, who was also very special to Nie Yufu, was the candidate that Mrs. Nie intended to marry, but Nie Suhyun told Xu Yourong that no, in fact, when their brother and Nie Yufu were still young, Mrs. Nie had already married Nie Yufu to Nie Suli, and single-handedly arranged the marriage of the two of them. is going to let her marry Nie Suli.
But the world is impermanent, after the Nie Suyun brothers and Nie Yufu grew up, Nie Suli suddenly and quietly obeyed, so that his marriage with Nie Yufu was delayed, and this delay was still as long as three years, seeing that Nie Yufu is eighteen years old this year, but Nie Suli still has no intention of coming back to get married. And Nie Suhyun is special to Nie Yufu, but it's just because this is the reason why he has regarded Nie Yufu as a younger sister since he was a child.
Nie Suhyun told Xu Yourong all the causes and consequences, then Xu Yourong would definitely no longer be hostile to Nie Yufu, but would still regard Nie Yufu as a hard-working person like her; And Nie Yufu originally admired Xu Yourong's daring to love and hate, and her persistence and bravery for Nie Suhyun for so many years, so the two met late.
So in this kind of sympathy, the friendship between Xu Yourong and Nie Yufu is a thousand miles away, and later the two often travel together, after all, compared to Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan, who are the princess of the king of Beiding and the princess of Chu, Xu Yourong and Nie Yufu, who have not yet left the cabinet, are too free. Therefore, the two often meet to travel and play, and if they hold a banquet or something, they will never miss each other.
Therefore, now when I hear Xu Yourong say that she is going to attend Nie Yufu's private banquet held in the Zhenguo Mansion. Xu Mingyan and Xu Youshan were not surprised, but said uncertainly: "It won't be...... That third master of the Li family, right? ”
"Yes, that's him." Xu Yourong clapped his hands and said, "When I saw him in the Zhenguo Mansion at that time, I was also surprised, why is he here?" Others may not know Yufu's character, but I do understand a little, Yufu is impossible to make friends with those who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. It is also impossible to allow those who have been invited to bring such people in. So I didn't say anything at the moment, and only waited for a while when Yufu came over after she was busy, and then asked her how the third master of the Li family was here. ”
"Did Miss Nie say that? Why was he there? Xu Mingcheng asked.
"Yu Fu told me, it turned out that the person was not invited by her, and when she heard that the third master of the Li family was coming, she also frowned and planned to let Nie Liu go and let him go back. But who knew that after Yufu found Nie Liu. Nie Liu actually said that this person was invited by him to gather today, and he personally went to welcome him into the mansion. It's just that Nie Gong had something to do with Nie Liu's affairs later, so he asked the third master of the Li family to pass the time during the banquet and wait for Nie Liu's return. Xu Yourong stopped here and took a sip of tea.
"Was it Nie Liugongzi who invited him?" This time Xu Youshan is even more strange, if you say that Nie Yufu and they don't know much about it, but because of Xu Yourong, they are for Nie Suhyun. Xu Mingyan and Xu Youshan can't understand each other anymore, if they want to make friends with him. That's really indispensable in character and talent, otherwise so many people around Nie Suhyun have friendships, but who dares to say that they are friends with Nie Suhyun?
There are only a handful!
"Then it seems that this third master of the Li family is not a simple character." Xu Mingxuan said interestingly, since the person who can make Nie Suhyun befriend, it can't be simple.
"Who said no, I was stunned when I heard it, and I thought about it for a while, and secretly said that this Nie Liu wouldn't suddenly learn badly, but then after Nie Liu came back, after talking with the third master of the Li family, I found out that this person is not what outsiders say at all, just a gentleman who spends all his time drinking, although he is free and uninhibited, but it is definitely not an embroidered pillow."
Xu Yourong said slowly to Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan what happened in the Zhenguo Mansion that day, and after she finished speaking, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan were also interested, especially Xu Youshan, who has the most experience in these people and things that are not in line with the rumors at all, and now Xie Jing is in the eyes of outsiders, isn't he just a weak prince who only knows how to eat, drink, and be idle?
Thinking of this, Xu Youshan couldn't help but smile and said: "Then according to what you say, eldest sister, it seems that Lord Wen and Mrs. Wen must have discovered this third master of the Li family, not a straw bag and an embroidered pillow, their idea must be the Li family." ”
"Yes, that's what I thought, originally I and the third master of the Li scholar's family just had a relationship, so just now I only felt familiar, and I didn't think about it yet, but just now, I suddenly thought of it in a flash of inspiration, so I understood who Mrs. Wen's target was." Xu Yourong said.
"Now that we know Mrs. Wen's goal, the next thing is much easier." Xu Mingcheng groaned and spoke: "If we can't let Concubine Xian's purpose at the Dragon Boat Palace banquet be achieved, then we will help the Wen family finalize the marriage between the eldest lady of the Wen family and the third master of the Li family in advance, but this matter is not simple, but Sister Rong, didn't you say that Nie Liu and the third master of the Li family are friends, then the tone of the Li family depends on you." ”
"That's fine." Xu Yourong thought about how to talk to Nie Liu about this, and after deciding, he nodded to Xu Mingxi.
"As for the Wen family, I have been in contact with Miss Wen for the past two days, so when I ask her out for a trip another day, I will take the opportunity to ask." Xu Mingcheng said cautiously, but after she finished speaking, she found that Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan suddenly looked straight at her, which made Xu Mingcheng stunned and asked, "What's wrong, did I say something wrong, why do you two look at me like this?" ”
Xu Mingcheng was strange, but Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan looked at her thoughtfully for a while, and Xu Yourong said in an unkind tone: "Sister Huan, listening to you say this, it seems that you and Wen Ya had a good chat that day, and you are still in touch with each other?" ”
"Yes, sister. It seems that at that lotus boat banquet that day, you and this Wen family lady chatted very closely, otherwise how could you ask her out for a trip? But look at it this way. Sister Huan, I'm afraid that it was because I talked to Miss Wen that I was too close to each other, so I directly threw my thousands of instructions to ask you to go 108,000 miles away, right? ”
"Of course not, how can you look at me like that, especially you, Sister Shan. I'm not doing this to help you, how can you still say that about me? Xu Mingxuan snorted and said with a weak heart. As he spoke, he moved the stool.
"Not? It's not that you still have a connection with Wen Ya. As soon as Xu Yourong stretched out his hand, he froze Xu Mingcheng, who still wanted to move back, in place, and said to her very "gently and kindly".
"That'...... That's because I fell in love with Miss Wen. Xu Mingcheng was in the encirclement formed by Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, and her voice became smaller and smaller. The tone is also becoming more and more empty. In the end, there is no confidence at all. And looking at Xu Mingcheng like this, how could Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan not understand, this guy was simply at the last lotus boat banquet, and Wen Ya had a very happy conversation, and he forgot about Xu Youshan's request at all, and then the two established a deep friendship.
Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan thought of this, and looked at Xu Mingcheng's eyes becoming more and more "kind", but Xu Mingcheng's careful liver trembled. In the end, she was about to beg for mercy, but Xu Youshan and the others didn't give her a chance to open her mouth at all. Directly punished on the spot.
Suddenly, I only heard a scream like killing a pig from the Phoenix Terrace, which lasted for a long time, so that Jiang Chun's guests were all frightened, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper who hurried out, they all appeased these distinguished guests one by one, and it is estimated that they would order their guards to go up to the Phoenix Terrace to see if there was a death there.

*****
The Dragon Boat Festival is here, the sun is shining, the big river is surging and the boat is racing, and the Shendu is lively everywhere early this morning, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere, celebrating the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival.
And at this time in the palace city, it is not much different from the Fang City, although it is also cleaned everywhere, but the lively atmosphere is not very strong, only in the Chunhui Palace where the palace banquet is to be held tonight, there is still a slight feeling of the festival, but here, it is also the busy figure of the palace maids and the inner eunuchs to be the majority, after all, here at a slightly later time, to receive the banquet of dignitaries, so can not be lazy.
"You say, I don't know what kind of wind this is blowing, there has been no banquet in the palace for several years, why do you want to hold a banquet to invite hundreds of officials this time, it's really exciting, but it's suffering us slaves." In the pavilion in the back garden of Chunhui Palace, a palace maid who was ordered to re-sprinkle and sweep again whispered.
"Isn't it, the masters say a word, but I don't know how tired the people below are, look, see if this is just a small gazebo, but let us clean it at least five or six times, it's really not annoying."
"Of course they won't be annoyed, but they will be annoyed if they just use their mouths and let us do everything?" The palace maid who spoke before said: "And I also heard that for today's Dragon Boat Banquet, Concubine Xian Niangniang has long ordered the imperial dining room, and today's dishes are all served with tribute, that luxury." Speaking of this, all the palace maids in the pavilion couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Oh, you're all the fuss? I've heard that the wine used at today's banquet is all glass red. ”
"What?" Now everyone was surprised, that glass red, but in the royal family, only a few people can enjoy the treasure, but I didn't expect that today's drinks are all glass red, this is too wasteful! But just when everyone was surprised, someone suddenly asked: "But why is Concubine Xian Niangniang, setting up a Dragon Luncheon banquet so carefully, what is Concubine Xian Niangniang for?" ”
That's right, everyone else thought about it all of a sudden, why did Concubine Xian Niangniang suddenly hold such a big banquet? The current virtuous concubine Niangniang can be said to be the most powerful woman in the palace, and the third prince Xie Wen is almost the only candidate for the crown prince at present, although Emperor Zhou Hui has neglected Xie Wen for a while during this time, but in addition to Xie Wen, there is no prince who is no longer favored by Emperor Zhou Hui, so what else can the virtuous concubine ask for now?
There was silence in the pavilion for a while, and suddenly someone said: "You don't know this, Concubine Xian Niangniang wants to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked suddenly enlightened, and now among the three oldest princes, only the third prince Xie Wen has no concubine, no wonder the virtuous concubine Niangniang will organize this Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet so vigorously, it turned out to be to choose a concubine for the third prince Xie Wen.
Now everyone has no doubts, but the work in their hands is still piling up, so gradually no one has the leisure to mumble anymore, and they are all immersed in hard work. But at this moment, outside the palace, there were gradually more Chinese cars, all silently parked outside the palace, and soon after a small team of internal prisoners rushed to the palace gate from the inner palace, the Praetorian Guards slowly opened the heavy palace gate, allowing the Chinese cars to enter the palace city.
"Still sleepy?"
"Hmm."
"Then let's sleep for a while, now it is estimated that the Chunhui Palace is not ready yet, and the father has not gotten up yet, we can wait a little longer." Among these Chinese cars that slowly drove into the palace, one of the jade hollow moire beaded carriages, Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan, who was still drowsy in his arms, and his red lips were bent. Because Xu Youshan slept very late last night, when she got up this morning, she was in a very bad spirit, and later Xie Jing carried her into the carriage, otherwise maybe Xu Youshan is still lying in the clouds behind Bowei and has not left.
At this time, when she heard Xie Jing say that she could sleep for a while, Xu Youshan immediately fell into Xie Jing's arms and fell asleep, not polite at all. So Xie Jing also ordered Wenge, who was driving outside, to slow him down. Hearing the song, they immediately slowed down, and in this way, one carriage after another overtook them and drove towards Chengde Gate, and in the end, Xie Jing and his party really became the last to arrive at Chengde Gate. However, Xie Jing didn't mind this, but just instructed Wen Ge to park the carriage in a quiet place.
It's still early, although they need to enter the palace early according to the system, but in the Chunhui Palace, just like Xie Jing just said to Xu Youshan, they are not ready at this time, and Emperor Zhou Hui has not gotten up yet, so they originally need to wait a little longer. (To be continued.) )
