"This is the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Jingyuan, right?" Empress Dowager Wu opened her mouth, and her seemingly kind face was the same as when she spoke to Mrs. Wu just now.

Seeing this, Lu Qingrong immediately took a small step forward and saluted the Empress Dowager Wu again.

"I haven't changed much, but I look taller!" Empress Dowager Wu looked her up and down and said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall focused on Lu Qingrong.

From the time of the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Jingyuan, the emperor's re-emphasis on the Marquis of Jingyuan and the prince Jiang Xuan has long been no secret among the nobles and eunuchs in the capital.

Now that I see that the Queen Mother is so concerned about the ladies of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion, I don't know if it is because she is of the same clan as Mrs. Wu, or because she is really in the same voice with the emperor......

Everyone didn't intend to delve into it, and it would always be wrong to praise Lu Qingrong.

For a while, various voices came from Lu Qingrong's ears, some people said that she had bright eyes and bright teeth, ice muscles and jade bones, and some people praised her for her natural beauty and beautiful appearance......

What's even more exaggerated, Mrs. Chengping Hou looked at her slightly thin body, and even said that she was suitable for birth and recuperation at a glance......

Lu Qingrong naturally knew that these were not taken seriously, but he inevitably felt embarrassed, and his cheeks were slightly red.

"Don't scare her!" Mrs. Wu spoke again, feigning disgust at everyone.

The hall was quieter at last.

"I heard that the prince of Jingyuan Marquis has been in good health recently, and he has made a lot of efforts when the prospective king became married, and now he is sharing the emperor's worries in Yulinwei, and you can't do without your credit!" Empress Dowager Wu smiled unabatedly, "After all, this child is a blessed one!" ”

The crowd continued to echo.

Only Princess Chengyang sat there expressionlessly, never smiling.

Mrs. Wu's expression was a little obscure, but she also tried her best to make a proud appearance.

Lu Qingrong felt that this compliment came extremely inexplicably, and he couldn't even figure out whether Empress Dowager Wu was praising her or reminding her of her identity as "Chongxi...... But the expression of the superior's feelings is relatively casual, and the mood is unpredictable, she doesn't intend to speculate on anything, but just maintains her respectful posture unchanged.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for everyone's attention to shift to Lu Manyu.

Although most of the people in the palace had heard of the prince's side concubine's diagnosis of the happy pulse before, it was not until this moment that they were officially informed by the queen mother.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Crown Princess.

Everyone in the hall, except for Lu Manyu, is the wife of the main family, so she, who is really pregnant, has not received much attention, and she has received far less greetings than the crown princess.

But Lu Manyu didn't care at all, she didn't seem to even pay much attention to the crown princess at this time, but when everyone was not paying attention, she stared at the seats of the queen and the queen mother.

Lu Qingrong, who had been concerned about Lu Manyu from beginning to end, suddenly tightened his heart when he saw this scene......

At last it was time for the feast.

At noon, the banquet started on time, and the venue was still in the Fengning Palace.

The seats in the main hall are limited, and only these people who have just been able to enter the bow are there, and the rest of the foreign women who come to congratulate are all set up in the side halls on the east and west sides. Therefore, he knew that Yin Pingru was also going to enter the palace to congratulate him today, but Lu Qingrong never saw his mother from beginning to end, so he could only wait for the time to return to Lu Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

The palace maids came in and were busy for a while, and after a while, the banquet officially opened in the main hall.

Empress Dowager Wu and the Empress are still sitting in the middle position, and there is a lacquered golden phoenix pattern banquet table in front of them, and it is not difficult to feel the gorgeousness and elegance from a distance, showing the unique style of the royal family all the time.

What was placed in front of the crown princess and Princess Chengyang was the Nanmu sprinkled luodian banquet table, which was slightly secondary.

Although Lu Manyu still sat next to the crown princess, the long table with red sandalwood carvings in front of her was not much different from the foreign wives sitting on both sides of the lower column.

Lu Qingrong and Mrs. Wu sat in the middle of the row on the left, not too far from the main seat of the head, and only Princess Jing and Duchess Yan Guo were separated in the middle.

As soon as the banquet began, a court musician came in to help the fun, and played musical instruments such as the guzheng, xun, and pipa in the center of the main hall, as well as several styles that Lu Qingrong had never seen before.

The melodious music suddenly reverberated in the Fengning Palace, although it was not as lively as the folk banquet, but it was unique and tactful, especially clear and far-reaching, and it was very suitable for the banquet.

The people in the temple did not want to spoil the atmosphere, and because they were concerned about the etiquette of eating, no one spoke loudly anymore.

Even the Empress Dowager Wu only whispered a few words to Princess Chengyang occasionally.

Lu Qingrong and Mrs. Wu naturally had nothing to talk about, and they were far away from Tang Yue, so they simply ate quietly alone, but still looked at Lu Manyu from time to time.

This look gave her a little headache.

At this time, in the main hall, except for the queen mother, the queen and the crown princess, who brought personal palace maids by their side, the rest of the people came alone, even Princess Jing and Princess Chengyang were no exception.

And Lu Manyu is asking the personal palace maid who called the crown princess to pick up vegetables for herself at the moment.

Lu Qingrong noticed that there was no discoloration on the crown princess's face, but although the palace maid did not dare to disobey Lu Manyu's order, her expression was obviously a little unnatural.

Lu Qingrong sighed secretly in his heart, looking at the table of dishes in front of him, he couldn't be too interested.

It just so happened that Princess Jing stood up at this time, said something to the Queen Mother, and then called Lu Qingrong to leave the main hall together.

It wasn't until he left the palace gate that Lu Qingrong couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?" ”

"Come out and breathe!" Tang Yue smiled and said in a very soft voice: "It's about to suffocate inside!" ”

These days, Tang Yue's image in front of her is getting farther and farther away from the calm and introverted eldest lady of Yanguo Mansion in the past.

Lu Qingrong was also happy to be clean, and followed Tang Yue all the way to the warm pavilion in the west, but he was still a little worried: "Let's come out like this, it's not in the way, right?" ”

"I just told the Queen Mother that she is slightly unwell, so let you come with me to rest for a while." Tang Yue asked the palace maid who followed behind him to retreat first, "There is no personal maid to follow, there can only be Mrs. Lao Shizi!" ”

Tang Yue smiled narrowly.

Lu Qingrong also played with her heart, and went over to help her hand as if she were looking.

The two of them snorted almost at the same time and burst into laughter.

"Seriously, will you seem too willful in front of the Queen Mother?" Lu Qingrong said with concern.

"There is no crown princess who is virtuous, this is a matter of course." Tang Yue's smile did not decrease.

Lu Qingrong instantly understood what she meant, and was inevitably a little surprised, he didn't expect Tang Yue to have this insight at a young age, but he didn't know if it was her own thoughts, or King Jing's instructions.

At this time, Tang Yue smiled again: "Look at the way you looked just now, if I don't pull you out again, I'm afraid you will rush up and teach your third sister a lesson!"

"How is that possible! A few girls are sitting on it! Lu Qingrong smiled bitterly, "You also see that she is wrong?" ”

"I'll see her more than you do." Tang Yue said.

The meaning is obvious, this is not the first time Lu Manyu has acted like this.

"It seems that when she returns to Lufu during the Chinese New Year, she has to mention this matter to her family, and someone must come forward to persuade her." Lu Qingrong looked helpless.

"Hmm." Tang Yue said slowly: "Persuasion must be persuaded. But don't be too competitive, this kind of thing still has to be figured out by herself. Not to mention what kind of personality she used to have, just the matter of giving birth to an heir for the prince, I'm afraid that it will be inevitable to get carried away if someone else changes! ”

Lu Qingrong nodded, thinking in his heart that even if Lu Manyu encountered some small lessons, it would be better to be able to get lost and return than to poke out something big in the future.

Tang Yue knew that Lu Qingrong was an understanding person, so he didn't say anything more about this matter, but thought of something else.

"By the way, why is Tang Shan going to marry Jiang Ke?" She was shocked when she found out about it.

"Didn't the Duchess of Yanguo tell you?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"Mother told me everything she saw, but she only saw a small part, right?" Tang Yue was still puzzled.

"That's right." Lu Qingrong recalled the scene that day, "She originally wanted to go to Jiang Xuan, but the mistake became the situation later." ”

Lu Qingrong did not hide it, and roughly explained the cause and effect.

After hearing this, Tang Yue couldn't help but sigh: "She is also to blame." After a moment of silence, he continued: "But she is lucky to be able to marry and become a wife." Even my mother said, I didn't expect you to agree to this. ”

"Isn't it the Duchess of Yan Guo who insisted?" Lu Qingrong also heard a little.

"It's not insisting, it's just that I mentioned it once to the second lady of the Chengping Hou Mansion who came to the door for the first time, and you agreed after a few days without thinking about it." Tang Yue sighed with emotion: "You must know that this matter requires a nod from the princess's mansion, not to mention that it is still at the stall where the county lord of Kangning has just spread the good news!" ”

"I'm a little surprised by this." Lu Qingrong told the truth.

Qiu Jinting is unmarried and pregnant, and she will not take the initiative to mention it. But after all, she and Jiang Ke are not to escape the blame for this matter, and the princess's mansion has suffered some losses in the dowry of marriage, and they are actually relieved on this principled issue. Lu Qingrong was also puzzled.

"How are you?" Tang Yue asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong was a little confused.

"Look at the county lord of Kangning, you have only been married for such a short time, how long have you been married?"

"It's been less than a year!" Lu Qingrong rushed out.

She and Jiang Xuan don't have that yet...... How can I have a happy pulse? She thought so to herself, but she didn't say it. Although she is close to Tang Yue, she has never been used to sharing such private things with others.

"Anyway, it's not a short time!" Tang Yue continued to ask, "Did you take those tonic medicines I gave you before?" ”

Lu Qingrong didn't make a sound, she didn't want to lie.

"It's said that you can eat with confidence, I still have more here, I guarantee that it is enough!" Tang Yue looked like black iron was not made of steel.

Lu Qingrong couldn't cry or laugh, but he understood that Tang Yue really cared about him, and hurriedly blushed and promised that "I must finish eating......

It's just that Tang Yue still didn't plan to let go of herself, and began to enlighten her bitterly, don't take it seriously. Lu Qingrong couldn't help but quip: "Then you can eat it yourself?" ”

"Of course!" Tang Yue replied simply, and when she saw Lu Qingrong start to stare at her abdomen, she understood what she meant, "Don't compare with me, we are not all born early and late, I'm afraid it will be better later...... You're different, if you don't have an heir, you can change people in this world! ”

To say that it is not touched is false. In Lu Qingrong's impression, except for Yin Pingru, no one can put himself in her shoes like this. What's more, Tang Yue didn't even shy away from speaking out about her own situation.

"Don't worry, I'll save all of this." Lu Qingrong's tone was extremely serious, she understood that reasons like "still young" must not make sense in front of Tang Yue, a real ancient person, after all, she is not as experienced as Yin Pingru and knows the danger in this.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong finally listened, Tang Yue didn't say anything more.

The two chatted for a moment in the warm pavilion. Hearing that Lu Qingrong liked the music played by the court musicians very much, Tang Yue also said that the score was available in the Jingwang Mansion, and he could send it to her to copy another day.

Seeing that nearly half an hour had passed, the two of them reluctantly walked out of the warm pavilion and returned to the main hall.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Queen Mother and the Queen to leave, and the banquet of Fengning Hall finally dispersed.

Following everyone to the palace gate, and seeing that more than half of the carriages parked there were missing, Lu Qingrong knew that it must be the banquet in the court that ended first.

When he saw Jiang Xuan waiting in front of the carriage of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but think of Tang Yue's words just now, and suddenly blushed a little uncontrollably. R1152
