Chapter 210: Entering the Palace for a Banquet
Two hundred and ten, enter the palace for a banquet
Wei Ling hugged Huo Mei into the carriage and came to the front of Mrs. Wei, who was also dressed in a brocade palace dress, which was also prepared by Wei Ling, and she did not favor her mother because she had a daughter-in-law.
On the contrary, Mrs. Wei's face is much more luxurious than Huo Mei's, just like Mrs. Wei's flamboyant personality, these things are very useful when Mrs. Wei receives them, but when she sees Huo Mei's dress just now, she can't help but feel sour.
"Mother!" Mrs. Wei's eyes were still looking at the carriage in front of her, and the hatred in her eyes was still there.
"Do you still have my mother in your eyes? Looking at your flattering face in front of her, where is there still a bit of the majesty of a great general, if you want me to say that this woman is a scourge! ”
was still in a very high mood, but in an instant, Mrs. Wei's words fell to the bottom, Wei Ling sank his face, and helped Mrs. Wei to get into the carriage, Mrs. Wei was still unwilling.
"You can take a carriage with your mother!"
"It's inconvenient for her to be pregnant, so I'd better go up and sit down! Mother, be careful all the way! After saying that, Wei Ling left without looking back, and the angry old lady Wei was trembling all over, shaking the hair ornaments on her head and clanging.
The grandmother who followed together didn't dare to speak out, she knew that Mrs. Wei didn't want to see the young lady, although in private everyone said that the young lady was kind and never harsh on the people, and the monthly money of Yunxiangyuan's subordinates was the highest in the general's mansion, all of which said that the young lady took the money for the dowry herself.
So being able to go to Yunxiangyuan on an errand is extremely envied by the people of the General's Mansion, now that the young lady is pregnant, the general is even more precious young lady, and now Mrs. Wei began to eat again, seeing Mrs. Wei's angry appearance, Mama didn't even dare to pant loudly, for fear of provoking Mrs. Wei to suffer some unwarranted disaster.
Back in Huo Mei's carriage, Wei Ling saw Huo Mei sitting in the corner, his face was not very good, and he was uncomfortable in the carriage with his stomach up. Looking at her aggrieved little appearance, Wei Ling was almost distressed.
"Mei'er, don't care about your mother's words, okay?" Home sneered. looked up at Wei Ling.
"Can I just act as if I didn't care about it? Ah Ling, I'm not open enough to be bullied! It's okay for my mother to target me, if I hurt my child in the future, I ......" The decisive words that have not yet been said are covered by Wei Ling.
"Don't talk nonsense. You and the child are my life, and I won't let you get hurt in any way! Mother, she is old, and it is inevitable that she is a little paranoid, don't you understand her temperament? I'm still pregnant, it's been eight months, don't say these unlucky words, do you hear? Huo Mei snorted coldly, tilted his head and leaned on the canopy of the carriage without speaking, Wei Ling sighed helplessly, and reached out to scoop Huo Mei into his arms.
"Let's not be angry about these senseless things, shall we? If you don't like to get along with your mother. I won't let her see you in the future, and it's not difficult to avoid her with your skills, so why get angry? Be good, for your husband to give you a smooth breath, we are about to enter the palace, and the queen mother is still talking about seeing you! "The Queen?
Huo Mei's attention was finally successfully diverted by Wei Ling, because the queen mother was about to give birth, and she would not have attended today's banquet, but she heard that Mrs. Wei was also pregnant, so the queen mother wanted to meet Huo Mei.
Since childhood, Xu's relationship with Wei Ling has been very good. In the end, she became his sister-in-law, and often took care of Wei Ling's daily life, in Wei Ling's eyes, no one would be more suitable for the position of queen than Xu. Because in Xu's eyes. Her own man is more important than anything, and because of this, she can be willing to sacrifice and become the woman who pays silently behind Liu Xun.
Huo Mei's impression of the queen is also very good, Xu has a good temper and is easy to get along with. I got along well with Huo Mei in a few encounters, just like the sister-in-law in charge of the backyard at home.
can think of the deceit in the palace, Huo Mei can't help but sigh, if in the folk, Liu Xun and his wife must be the fairy couple of Qin Se and Ming, but Liu Xun became the emperor, which made Xu's love for Liu Xun become fulfillment, and because of this, Liu Xun will attach great importance to Xu, in his heart, I am afraid that Xu is the only woman in the world who is sincere to him.
It is said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, but which one really likes the emperor, the purpose of those women climbing on the dragon bed is just to become the most noble person in this palace, just when Huo Mei was thinking nonsense, Wei Ling had already carried her out of the carriage, and when she looked up, she had already arrived at Weiyang Palace.
"The slave has seen General Wei, and I have seen the general's wife! The slave maid greets the old lady! Sun Liangyu respectfully bowed one by one, and looked at Wei Ling and his wife in front of him and Mrs. Wei with a smile on his face.
Wei Ling snorted expressionlessly, but Old Madam Wei said to Sun Liangyu with a smile on her face at the moment: "Lord Sun is too polite, I will have to rely on Lord Sun more in the future!" This little meaning, Master Sun will take it and play with it! Saying that, Mrs. Wei quietly took out a piece of beautiful jade from her sleeve, and when she saw that there was no one around, she stuffed it into Sun Liangyu's hand.
Sun Liangyu only touched it, and knew that what he was holding in his hand was a good thing, and his face was full of smiles, and he bowed down and let Wei Ling and the three of them into the palace gate.
These actions were quite dazzling in Wei Ling's eyes, Huo Mei was accustomed to these, and he had often seen some people come to Sima Mansion to give gifts to Huo Guang before, and those people's handwriting was much better than that of Old Madam Wei, so it was naturally not strange.
However, Huo Mei was still a little uneasy about the stunned Qing Weiling, and when he looked up, he saw him frowning, and quickly tugged on his sleeve. Wei Ling looked down at the color that Huo Mei had made, and then the unpleasant color on his face was removed.
Only after entering the palace did I know that this time the reception banquet was set up in the queen's Jiaofang Palace, for this Wei Ling is nothing, Mrs. Wei is a little unhappy, the general went out to return triumphantly, should have feasted the ministers in the Xuanshu Palace, but in the queen's bedroom, it is still somewhat informal.
And Mrs. Wei forgot that the protagonist of this expedition was Chang Hui, and Wei Ling's original identity was just a pioneer, even this general was ordered by Chang Hui in danger, these old Mrs. Wei didn't understand, but Huo Mei knew that even in the Jiaofang Palace, this was also the supreme glory of the Wei family.
Huo Mei had a big belly, and the queen specially sent her own chariot to pick her up, which made Mrs. Wei even more uncomfortable, although the queen also arranged a chariot for herself, but Mrs. Wei still felt that her weight was getting lighter and lighter in the queen's heart.
Wei Ling naturally couldn't take the queen's chariot, so he simply followed carefully next to the chariot, which made all the palace people envious, and anyone could see it. General Wei loves his wife very much.
The palace ladies can't help but be envious, but even if they are envious, they are helpless, since they entered the palace, they are all the emperor's women. Some people will only live in the palace for the rest of their lives, even if they have never been favored by the emperor, they will die of old age in the palace, this extravagant palace, for some people. It's hell.
When I arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, I saw that there were officials with their wives and relatives who were following the palace people in, and as soon as Wei Ling and Huo Mei appeared, they undoubtedly became the focus of everyone. Especially Wei Ling, who was dressed in a cyan robe, with a handsome figure, and a heroic look on his face, he blushed when he saw a kind of housekeeper.
This scene made Mrs. Wei quite satisfied, and soon someone came over to say hello.
"Say hello to the old lady, I haven't seen you for some days. Is the old lady in good health? It was the wife of the imperial historian Lin Mo who came to talk, Cao, followed by her two daughters, the eldest daughter Lin Weiqing and the youngest daughter Lin Weixue, Lin Weiqing looked at Wei Ling and Huo Mei in front of her with faint eyes, and saluted slightly, but Lin Weixue's eyes were staring at Wei Ling's face tightly, and she couldn't take her eyes off it at all.
Lin Weiqing, as the daughter of the family, has long been married to someone, and the other party is also an official eunuch. And she is also a scholarly family, and she is actually a little disdainful of a military general like Wei Ling. But Lin Weixue is different, although she is also a concubine. But the low position in the family is not as good as her sister, and her parents don't treat her very well, a few days ago I heard that her parents were going to give her to Wei Ling as a concubine, she was not very willing, but now when she sees Wei Ling herself, she can't wait to leave with others immediately.
Wei Ling also nodded at the Lin family sisters' salute. took Huo Mei's hand and prepared to go in, but Mrs. Wei pulled her sleeve.
"Ling'er, these are the two daughters of Lord Lin's family, why don't you say hello to others?" Huo Mei had been standing aside and watching silently, with no joy or displeasure on her face, but when she heard Mrs. Wei's words, her hand loosened, and she wanted to break free of Wei Ling's hand.
"General Ben is here for a banquet today, not to see a young lady!" After saying that, he grabbed Huo Mei's waist and took her away from this side.
The queen was already sitting on a high seat, and when she saw Wei Ling coming in with Huo Mei, the queen still had a smile on her face.
"Weichen see His Majesty, Queen Mother!"
"The concubine to His Majesty Xià and the queen mother, please be safe!" Liu Xun looked at the two, the expression on his face was still solemn, but the queen raised her hand at Huo Mei with a smile on her face.
"Ah Ling, don't hurry up and help your wife up, it's not good to kneel like this while pregnant!" Mrs. Wei came in happily and hurried to salute, but was stopped by Liu Xun.
"The old lady doesn't have to be so polite, sit down quickly!" Seeing that the emperor respected Mrs. Wei so much, Cao's heart became even more determined about marrying the General's Mansion.
Lin Weixue stared at Wei Ling's body obsessively, not caring about the mocking gaze around her at all, in her opinion, it was a sure thing that she would become Wei Ling's woman, she was a young lady of the Imperial Doctor's family, and she was still a descendant, and she should not be a concubine, but Wei Ling's identity as a general, being a concubine did not insult her, which in her opinion this marriage is also beneficial to Wei Ling, so she thinks that she can become Wei Ling's woman.
Huo Mei was arranged to sit on the right side of the queen, and Huo Mei and Mrs. Wei should have sat at the same table, but Wei Ling was worried that Huo Mei would have a conflict with Mrs. Wei, so he opened his mouth to ask Liu Xun.
"Your Majesty, the inner person is not very good when she is pregnant, can you ask Your Majesty to allow Weichen and his wife to sit at the same table?" Wei Ling rarely asked Liu Xun for anything, and now he was kneeling on one knee again, although Liu Xun's brows were wrinkled, he still let Wei Ling sit next to the queen with Huo Mei, and instead replaced Old Lady Wei sitting beside Liu Xun, which made everyone who came in look up at the Wei family.
When Huo Jun came in, he saw the first emperor and the empress sitting there, and his position was moved to the bottom of Mrs. Wei, which made Huo Jun very unconvinced, especially when he saw Huo Mei's bulging belly and Wei Ling's soft careful service, which was particularly dazzling in Huo Jun's eyes.
"The concubine to His Majesty Xià and the queen mother, please be safe!" Huo Jun knelt respectfully in front of Liu Xun and the queen, with a look of humility on his face, which made Liu Xun very satisfied.
"Huo Jieyu hasn't seen her for a few days, and she is even more beautiful!" Huo Jun smiled modestly, raised his head and looked at Liu Xun shyly, "Sister, don't laugh at my sister, my sister rarely even comes out of the Yilan Hall these days, where is my sister so good!" ”
For no reason, Huo Mei had goosebumps on her body, in her cognition, when did Huo Jun be gentle and virtuous here, looking at Liu Xun's smiling face, she really admired the emperor a little, and it is estimated that he is the only one who can make a woman like Huo Jun restrain her heart.
Just thinking about it, Huo Jun actually walked in front of Huo Mei, and opened his mouth to get close to Huo Mei. "My sister is pregnant, why don't you tell me and my mother! It's better for your mother to find a few people to take care of you, I heard that your life in the General's Mansion is not good, I wonder if this child is still good? ”
Huo Mei chuckled, I really can't expect too much from this guy, no matter how much some people think, their nature can't be changed.
"Whatever my sister says, my mother has to be busy with my sister and brother all day long, where can I distract her to take care of me! What's more, the general is very good to me, and I have never been wronged in the general's mansion, so my sister doesn't have to worry about someone bullying me! Huo Jun smiled coldly, looking at Huo Mei's eyes with ruthlessness.
"Oh, that's it, sister, I heard it wrong, how did I hear that General Wei was forced by Mrs. Wei to divorce you as soon as he returned home! Is this all falsehood? As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even the queen's face was not very good-looking, and Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth and looked at Huo Jun, her eyes turned to glare at Huo Mei fiercely, thinking that Huo Mei had found her mother's family to make trouble.
Huo Mei turned her head to look at Wei Ling disappreciatively. "Is there such a thing as a general? How did I not know? ”
Wei Ling was also very angry in his heart, but he naturally had to cooperate with Huo Mei on his face, "You have become like this, how can my mother let me divorce my wife, I swore when I got married, I will only marry you one woman in this life, if I divorce you, then I don't want to spend my life alone, so you are willing?" ”
Huo Mei smiled, this smile was particularly bright and moving on his face, and the men around him couldn't help but be attracted by Huo Mei's smile. (To be continued.) )
