Chapter 133: The Annual Banquet
"Heh, the British old lady really loves you, she actually gave you that bracelet, and that old thing doesn't want to think about it, whether you are a little slut or not, quickly take it off for me, and roll it to the front hall to eat."
As soon as he got out of the courtyard of the British duchess, the county lord of Sizhu pulled the county lord Hou Lingxin of Guannei to the back garden of the rockery, and greedily forgot the bracelet in the other party's hand.
Death does not change, the county lord of Sizhu still thinks that the county lord of Prince Yong's mansion is still a girl, her biological mother's status is not as good as her, no matter what happens, the two of them can only swallow their anger, and when they get married, she has already had the worst plan.
When her father asked her to marry into the An family, she nodded very calmly, the eldest son of the An family did not have any bad habits, although it was not a family with a title, it could definitely be said that she was born in a famous family, and she would not feel wronged if she married such a person.
In just one month, the second son of the An family was born, and everything was turned upside down, she became the wife of the prince of Guan Neihou, and it didn't take long for her to have a lovely son, and there was an unborn one in her belly.
The lord of Sizhu is just a second young grandmother of the An family, and she has only one daughter under her knees, and her relationship with her husband is not good, and she has also ruined the relationship between Prince Yong's Mansion and the British Mansion.
"My sister didn't forget, this bracelet was given to my sister by my great-grandmother, commending my sister for adding people to the family, since my sister wants it, it is difficult to do it...... My sister has a body, and she's still a boy? Lord Lingxin reversed the bracelet in his hand and looked at the other party with a smile on his face.
The childless lord of Sizhu has always been her heart disease, and it is a huge pain in her heart, if she has a son herself, where does she need to care about the old lady, the British duchess.
The husband is in the flower street and willow lane all day long, the aunt and concubine are in the room, almost one is changed every day, no matter how much she can't prevent it, she won't enter her house every night, she doesn't have a son, it's a woman's hard injury, Lingxin's county lord said a word, poking at the other party's vital point, Qianqianyu's hand raised fiercely and slapped the other party's face.
"What are you going to do!?"
After the rockery, a figure with his head held high came out, dressed in Tsing Yi and elegant temperament, with shallow anger and killing intent, which made the two people present tremble, and took a step back worriedly, and the lord of Lingxin subconsciously protected his stomach.
The person who came had already gray temples, but no one in this family doubted the majesty of this person.
"Greetings to grandfather!" After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the county lord of Lingxin was more cautious and cautious, and her every move showed the face of the Guannei Hou Mansion and the upbringing of Prince Yong's Mansion.
Although her husband is the prince of Guannai, for the head of the century-old family, she is still a head shorter, and he is the elder, and the confidence of the county lord of Lingxin is even more insufficient.
"Greetings to grandfather!" Lord Sizhu gritted her teeth, and then bowed hastily, she dared to be arrogant with the British Duchess, dared not to put the British Duchess in her eyes, but she didn't dare to ignore the people in front of her.
I don't know why, she always can't hold her head up in front of the British princess, even if it is her father, he has never given her such a sense of oppression.
"Humph!" The British princess shook his sleeves, and looked at the granddaughter-in-law in front of him a little unkindly, and there was more of a feeling of powerlessness in his heart.
He is a man, pay attention to the distinction between the concubines, and also care about whether his heirs are promising, in the early years, he blindly protected the descendants, and the disaster has been planted, compared with the children of the concubine, it is really ......
"It's the New Year, it's not easy to have a meal, the second family, you go to the front to serve!" glanced at the county lord of Lingxin again, the flat belly, and a trace of imperceptible warmth flashed in his eyes, "Becoming a family, since you have a body, go to the old lady to rest, and come out again at night when you worship your ancestors!" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that this matter is a bowl of water, everyone can perceive that the British prince is partial to the lord of Lingxin, and serving and resting are two concepts.
The hand hidden under the sleeve of the lord of Sizhu tightened unconsciously, up and down the British Mansion, inside and out, it was towards Lingxin, a slut, only when her son was a treasure, and her daughter was also the blood of the family, why was it like a mustard, in the future, those little sluts gave birth to children, is it difficult, do you have to climb on the head of your daughter?
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I become, the chill that penetrates my bones, like the seaweed at the bottom of the lake, crazy entanglement with my prey, this idea has also caused An Tianbao to have no other heirs for many years in the future, and the son born to him, even if he is raised outside, will die for various reasons.
Angel stroked her upturned lower abdomen, the child is almost eight months old, and he will come to this world in two months, he is a boy, and his temperament is very quiet.
When the child is four or five months old, he should be able to move, but this little thing has never liked to move, Angel was a little worried at first, and after repeated confirmation, it can only show that the child's personality is like this, and no one can do anything.
"Niangniang, what do you think!?" Bing'er handed the bronze mirror to Angel, tonight is New Year's Eve, and the concubines are all going to participate.
Angel is pregnant, the decoration should not be too colorful, not good for the child, the New Year should have a new atmosphere, the palace is full of beautiful women, if the dress is pure, it will inevitably lead people to misunderstand and lose the face of the royal family.
The sky is full of fire trees and silver flowers, but it is just a sign in the cage of power, after the prosperity, it is to live every moment of life in fear, one step away, behind is the cliff of a hundred zhang, and it will never come back if it falls.
"How are Kang Zhaoyuan and Qin Chonghua preparing?" Euphemistically holding the glazed agate remedies on both sides of the clouds, the dignified posture has made the little girl who entered the palace completely fade away from the immaturity of the past.
"It's ready, Kang Zhaoyuan is eating snacks outside, Qin Chonghua is holding Princess Qiuxi, waiting in the side hall, there is a brazier outside, the fifth princess is a little younger, I am afraid that I can't stand it, so I hugged it into the side hall to rest."
Angel nodded, although she has her own child, she still likes the fifth princess very much, there is no special reason, if it is true, it may be that child and herself fell in love!
"Today is the New Year's banquet, you can't be sloppy because of something, let Qin Chonghua be careful, and don't give anything to the princess at the New Year's banquet for a while."
Since ancient times, the concubine has been at the palace banquet, I don't know how much blood she shed, how many lives she had, Qin Chonghua and her soaked in the river water, she is also a rare neighbor, if she loses her daughter because of this incident and collapses, her future life will not be so smooth.
Shuang'er pouted, she saw that her master liked Princess Qiuxi, plus the little princess herself was well-behaved and cute, she couldn't care about a child, for Qin Guiren, so much time, she was just respectful out of etiquette in front of people, and she still couldn't look at it very well.
"Princess Qiuxi is her lifeline, she will be careful, Niangniang can rest assured."
Angel glanced at the other party angrily, her slender index finger was as thin as jade, and she gently tapped the other party's nose, "This mouth of yours really doesn't stop for a moment." ”
Shuang'er stuck out her tongue and smiled weirdly, the intimacy between the two was like blood sisters for many years, which made people unable to insert it.
Qianqing Palace only New Year's banquet, or the state banquet, will allow the concubines to walk in, in addition to the servant bed is carried into here, any concubine trespassing, will be stabbed to death, this is the gathering place of all the central organs, ** no interference, this is a treaty that even the queen has to abide by, and the requirements for concubines are becoming more and more strict.
At this moment, Concubine Jing is talking harmoniously with her sister-in-law, which makes Angel really surprised, Concubine Jing is a cannon cannon, which burns at one point, and she has always been cold-eyebrow to the concubines in **, and she is chatting with her Shuyi calmly at the moment, which is really unsettling.
"Sister Concubine Ran, my sister is here, I'm giving you a New Year's greeting."
Angel's elegant voice is loud in the hall, she is one of the best concubines, she has been promoted from a noble person to a concubine in just two years, it can be said that she is a legend, and she is pregnant with Liujia at the moment, after the child is born, it will definitely be sealed, and it is not impossible to become the concubine of the year.
"Sister, please get up, you are heavy, what are you doing with this polite courtesy!" Concubine Ran took Angel's little hand and gave up her position to Angel.
"Everything else is good, this New Year's gift, but I can't owe it, I'm giving my sister a New Year's greeting!" Angel gathered the cloak on her body and said with some complaints.
The relationship between her and Concubine Ran is not good, at most it is mutually beneficial, the intimate relationship between the two is not as close as Angel and Concubine Ran's cousin Wen Shunyi, since Angel is pregnant, the relationship between the two is a lot closer, and there are still many Concubine Ran who are stammering Angel.
Piggybacking on 'complaining' glanced at Angel, "My sister's mouth is really getting more and more dexterous, and it is like smearing honey, so my sister has no place to refute." ”
"Even if my sister's mouth is smeared with honey, no matter how sweet it is, it can't be sweeter than the eldest princess's small mouth, my sister has heard that the eldest princess is more and more loved by the emperor, and there is no choice for poetry and book etiquette."
Speaking of her daughter, Concubine Ran is still very proud, although her daughter is not a descendant, but she is an eldest daughter, no matter what happens, the emperor will not relax her education, and she will come to her palace every once in a while to see her daughter.
The eldest princess is competitive, she reads well, and she is not picky in terms of etiquette, and the emperor even took her Concubine Ran a lot of eyes, and praised her for raising children.
"Sister, don't praise her, it's hard enough to manage on weekdays, if you praise her again, I'm afraid it will turn the sky upside down in the future."
"What's this, royal princess, which one is not a golden branch and jade leaf, let alone the eldest princess of the royal family, if she doesn't have a temper, it will make her husband's family look down on her."
The royal princess has always had a noble status, especially when the royal family is prosperous, many of the princesses who have been close to each other since ancient times are lowly concubines of the clan, and only when the royal family is extremely weak, will they marry their daughters far away to Fanbang.
After the princess gets married, she will have her own mansion and her own fiefdom, as long as she doesn't do anything to buy and sell officials, and she will be drunk when she rebels, she will be rich and glorious for a lifetime, which is much more comfortable than a prince.
Concubine Ran smiled knowingly, since ancient times, the emperor did not worry about marrying his daughter, the eldest princess was the emperor's first child, if she wanted to marry, she would not be able to marry far away, and it would not be her turn, the royal family was strong, the emperor wanted to be close, at most it was only the daughter of the clan, and her eldest daughter could only enjoy a blessed life.
turned his head sideways and whispered in Concubine Ran's ear, "Sister, I look at Concubine Jing's sister very happy, I don't know what a big joy it is, and saying it will also make my sister happy." ”
Concubine Ran shook her head after hearing this, "It's not a big joy, my sister doesn't leave the palace for many days, and it's understandable that she is a little slack about **." After Concubine Jing became pregnant, she accidentally moved the fetal gas, and the Fu family came to tell Concubine Jing that they went to Huguo Temple to ask for a signature, according to the signature, Concubine Jing had to be kind to others, and she could give birth to the child safely. ”
Angel raised her eyebrows, but she felt that this answer was a little funny, and she was even more puzzled, whether that woman who was full of anger was dropped by someone "Concubine Jing actually believed it!?" ”
"I didn't believe it at first!" A trace of contempt and resentment flashed in Concubine Ran's eyes, she had done so many things that hurt heaven and reason, if the Buddha blessed her to give birth to a child, it would really be unreasonable" When Concubine Jing started, she didn't believe it. For the sake of the piece of meat in her stomach, she had to make compromises. Don't you say it, Concubine Jing has been pregnant many times, all of them were lost in less than four months, this time it was bizarrely raised to eight months, it seems that the monks of Huguo Temple are really accurate, another day, I will also go to Huguo Temple to ask for a beg. ”
"I said, no wonder, these days, why haven't I heard anyone talking in private about how our sister Concubine Jing is domineering and domineering."
Concubine Jing's temperament is used to being flamboyant, although she is not a concubine, she is also a concubine from the first grade, ** among them, only a few of them can make a talisman Concubine Jing, and after pregnancy, she is even more unreasonable.
After Angel became pregnant, she rarely went out of her own yard, Concubine Ran was respectful of that person, and the queen also had a child, and she wanted a concubine wholeheartedly, and she didn't care about each other at all, she sprinkled all her anger on the low-ranking concubines.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong turned a blind eye to this, **There are a lot of rumors about Concubine Jing, and in the recent past, I haven't heard a message about Concubine Jing, and Angel is also confused, it turns out that there is this stubble in it.
"Isn't it? My sister didn't know that Concubine Jing was completely flattened for the piece of meat in her stomach, and because Shu Cairen and Hua Jieyu were beaten into the cold palace because of malicious provocation of Yi Jieyu. ”
"Then she really made a bloody investment, isn't she afraid to go back and settle accounts with her?"
Shu Shu was demoted to a talented person, and the eldest grandson Yuanhong had long forgotten that there was such a number one person, and her own sister didn't deal with her, so she could only hold the queen's big tree tightly.
Hua Jieyu, although she has a noble identity, she has not entered the eyes of the emperor, and in addition, she is just a Jieyu among the **, and filial piety to the queen of the middle palace is an inevitable choice.
During the period when the queen was raising a baby, Concubine Jing cut off her two wings at once, and slapped each other's faces alive, the queen and Concubine Jing can stop, it is really a strange thing, Concubine Jing's so-called good deeds and accumulation of virtue, I am afraid that it will be stained with blood again.
"What is she afraid of, the grievances between the queen and Concubine Jing have not been a day or two for a long time, and the two of them have been fighting for so long, and they have not seen each other distinguish between high and low. Besides, this time it is Concubine Jing, even if the queen wants to be embarrassed, she can't be embarrassed. I heard that she is in charge of this palace affairs now, but she is a master who doesn't care about things, Concubine Rong and they are no longer there, you have another here, and the palace affairs will fall into the hands of me and Wu Shuyi. ”
Angel smiled faintly, whether it is the queen or Concubine Jing, they all pay attention to the child in their stomachs, they are no longer young, and they will not give birth again, but I am afraid that they will not even have the chance to be born in the future, and the children of other concubines are not their own, and it is not interesting to kiss them.
"After talking for a long time, why didn't I see the queen? It stands to reason that this banquet is about to start, why didn't I see her holding a big gift. ”
The queen has always been very punctual, this is related to her face as the mother of a country, no matter what, she will not be late, the time for the banquet is approaching, and she has not seen the queen, which is the strangest place for her.
"Oh! That's what you say! It will take a while for the queen to come, and this ** newcomer is becoming more and more disagreeable, and the queen is going to deal with the affairs of Liang Chongyuan and Zhen Jieyu. ”
In just three years, the daughters sent by the major families can be described as dead and wounded, newcomers and old people, there are only a few to count, some have turned into ghosts forever in the high walls, some have ascended to high positions, enjoying endless glory and wealth, and some can only wait for this red face to disappear in the high walls.
Zhen Jieyu is a woman who ascended to the position of Jieyu after Hua Jieyu, Zhen Jieyu was also silent for a long time, as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she did have a certain backstage, plus her appearance was not bad, she entered the palace for three years, and her appearance also opened a lot, and her immature face had the charm of a young woman, like a half-ripe apple.
"It seems that Liang Chongyuan has met an opponent, no matter who is right or wrong in this matter, Zhen Jieyu will not be so calculated. It's a pity, such a beautiful face won't be used well, and if it goes on like this, it's a matter of time before you enter the cold palace. ”
"Oh! My sister thinks so? Concubine Ran raised her eyebrows differently, "Zhen Jieyu's voice is exactly the same as that one!" ”
