Chapter 72: The Palace's Mansion (2)
It's the daughter of the Anguo Mansion!
Duchess Anguo Ye Shi thinly applied grease powder, smiled slightly, and was full of elegance. As soon as he appeared, almost all the ladies present suppressed the limelight.
The Tao family, who was standing beside the Ye family, was not bad in appearance and temperament, but compared with the Ye family, he was suddenly overshadowed.
Behind Ye's is the eldest daughter-in-law Yuan, and the fourth lady Gu Lingxue.
The female dependents of the Anguo Mansion are here, so is Chen Yuanzhao and Chen Yuanqing also here?
Xu Jinyu subconsciously glanced at the door, and then remembered that the male guests of the Qin Wangfu were all in the outer hall today, and even if they came, they would not come to the inner hall.
Then again, even if they come, what can they do? She has already rejected Chen Yuanqing ruthlessly, Chen Yuanqing probably never wants to see her again! There is also Chen Yuanzhao, who has a cold temperament, and she is still good to stay away.
Xu Jinyu pulled her lips without self-deprecation-you-you-small-say-more-new-most-fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-corner, and was about to look away, when Tao suddenly looked over.
The eyes are full of unkindness, and even a little bit of accusation.
Xu Jinyu was secretly surprised.
What is Dow looking at her like this? Could it be that Tao already knows about Chen Yuanqing seeing her in private? Or has something happened to Chen Yuanqing these days, so Tao is angry with her?
Xu Jinyu's heart was heavy. It's a pity that it's inconvenient to open your mouth to ask about this kind of thing, even if you are worried, you can only put it aside for the time being.
After the Ye family and the others entered the inner hall, almost all the female dependents nodded at them and the group. Ye nodded with a smile, Tao was in a bad mood, and he barely squeezed out a smile.
The group happened to stand beside everyone in the Weining Hou Mansion.
Xiao Zou greeted Ye politely: "I didn't expect you to come today." ”
Ye Shi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin invited Yuan Bai Yuanzhao to be a guest, and we simply followed. ”
Chen Yuanzhao and Chen Yuanbai are here, what about Chen Yuanqing? Xu Jinyu subconsciously glanced at Tao. Ji Yu simply asked on behalf of Xu Jinyu: "Second aunt, what about Cousin Yuanqing?" Is he here today? ”
Tao Shipi replied with a smile: "Yuan Qing has been sick these days and is recuperating in the mansion. I just don't have the strength to think about it. ”
Xu Jinyu's heart sank slightly. Chen Yuanqing turned out to be sick
Ji Yu was so understanding that she asked Xu Jinyu what was inconvenient to ask: "Brother Ji's first birthday banquet, Cousin Yuanqing was fine, why did he suddenly get sick?" ”
Tao glanced at Xu Jinyu, who was silent, and said pointedly: "It was that night when I was cold, and the high fever did not go away for several days, it frightened me at that time." I'm just such a son, if he had three longs and two shorts, I wouldn't be able to live. ”
The glance I saw before was really meaningful, not only the Zou family, but even the little Zou family noticed the subtlety.
Tao's words were clearly aimed at Xu Jinyu.
Ji Yu knew something inside, and she was a little displeased with Tao's aggressive attitude. Chen Yuanqing's illness, how can Xu Jinyu be blamed? It's just that this layer can't be broken, even if you have the heart to defend Xu Jinyu for a few words, there is no way to talk about it.
The atmosphere was a little condensed and awkward for a while.
Xu Jinyu wasn't so annoyed. Dow is such a person, and it is not surprising that there is such a reaction.
Speaking of which, it is true that she can't stand Chen Yuanqing. Such a passionate and infatuated cute teenager was ruthlessly rejected by her. He was so sad that he probably hadn't slept all night before he became seriously ill from the cold
A hand suddenly grasped her slightly cold right hand.
Xu Jinyu raised her eyes, just in time to meet Zou's concerned eyes. Jin Niang, are you okay!
In the end, it is his own mother who cares about himself. Xu Jinyu's heart warmed, and she shook her head invisibly. What kind of ugly and mean words did she not hear in her previous life? A few words from Dow are not worth her attention
Footsteps came from behind the inner hall.
Princess Li of Qin finally appeared.
Princess Qin was already beautiful and moving, and today she wore a red Luo skirt, full of pearls and emeralds, which was even more luxurious. Next to her was a delicate girl in a pink and blue palace dress, who was Princess Murong Xiang of Anning.
Princess Qin smiled before she could say anything: "Today, you have been waiting for a long time. I'm a natural stinky and beautiful temper, and I always refuse to come out to meet people if I don't clean up. It took an hour to change clothes and dress up today, and I barely dared to come out. ”
These words were humorous, and everyone laughed heartily.
"Today is a family banquet, you don't have to be formal, and you don't have to come forward one by one to greet the ceremony. Everyone who comes is a distinguished guest, so sit down and talk! Princess Qin said with a smile, while ordering the maid to carry more brocade: "The elders sit, and the juniors don't stand." It's just that I have to be wronged, I'm afraid that the chairs in this inner hall are not enough to sit today, so I can only sit in Jinza. ”
King Qin's notoriously virtuous corporal is approachable, and this princess of Qin is not far behind, and her words and laughter are like a spring breeze. The atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly relaxed.
Xiao Zou and the others all sat on the chairs, and Xu Jinyu and Ji Yu each sat on the brocade, which saved them the hard work of standing for a long time.
Today is the birthday of Princess Qin, and all the daughters will inevitably come to the door with generous gifts. At this time, congratulatory gifts were presented one by one, and Princess Qin made witty remarks, which was very lively.
Ji Yu tugged at Xu Jinyu's sleeve and whispered in her ear: "You were wronged just now." Yuanqing's cousin is sick, and the second aunt really shouldn't be angry with you. ”
Xu Jinyu sighed invisibly: "There's nothing wronged, I'm just secretly worried in my heart." I don't know if his illness is healed now. ”
Ji Yu said softly: "It's inconvenient for you to open your mouth to ask about this matter, I'll find an opportunity to ask Cousin Ling Xue in private later." ”
Xu Jinyu glanced at Ji Yu gratefully: "Cousin Yu, thank you." ”
Ji Yu smiled: "For the effort, what is there to thank." ”
The two kept whispering, and Gu Caiping on the side pricked up his ears, but he didn't hear a word clearly, and he couldn't help but be secretly annoyed in his heart.
In the past few days, she has tried hard to show favor to Ji Yu, but unfortunately it has little effect. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xu Jinyu poured into Ji Yu, and Ji Yu who coaxed her was devoted to her
Everyone accompanied Princess Qin to gossip, and soon it was noon.
Princess Qin got up with a smile: "Today I have prepared coarse tea, light rice and thin wine, please follow me to the dining room." ”
Everyone laughed and responded
There are four seats in the dining room. Those who are qualified to sit at the same table with Princess Qin, in addition to Mrs. Li, there are also Xiao Zou and Ye. Princess Qin smiled and beckoned to Princess Anning: "Xiang'er, you sit next to me." ”
Princess An Ning smiled and said, "Third Emperor Sister-in-law, I'd better sit with my cousin!" There were all girls of the same age, and it was more lively to sit and talk together. ”
Princess Qin was slightly stunned, and quickly responded with a smile.
Princess An Ning pressed the excitement in her heart, took a light step to Ji Yu's seat, and shouted with a smile: "Cousin, I'll sit with you." ”
Ji Yu was a little surprised, and responded with a smile.
Xu Jinyu was originally next to Ji Yu, but at this time, she had to get up and give up a position.
In this way, Princess An Ning sat between Xu Jinyu and Ji Yu.
Princess An Ning didn't have much princess shelf, she had a lively and playful personality, and soon laughed with the girls at the same table. Xu Jinyu was beside Princess An Ning, and it was logical for Princess An Ning to turn her head and talk to her.
"Jin Niang, the hosta you are wearing today is so beautiful." Princess An Ning praised with a smile.
Xu Jinyu smiled lightly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, for your compliment, this hosta was given to me by Sister Gu." ”
Princess An Ning sighed, glanced at Gu Caiping casually, and without waiting for Gu Caiping to open her mouth, she retracted her gaze: "By the way, the double-sided embroidered handkerchief you gave me last time, after I brought it back to the palace, the mother concubine also praised it a few times!" It's a rare opportunity to meet you today, so I can ask you for advice! ”
From the moment Princess An Ning came, Xu Jinyu had a not-so-wonderful premonition. Princess Anning's actions at this time confirmed Xu Jinyu's conjecture in her heart.
The dignity of the princess, there is obviously only one reason to show favor to her!
Xu Jinyu smiled helplessly in her heart, but she couldn't show any reluctance on her face: "Her Royal Highness the princess is too polite." If Her Royal Highness is interested in embroidery, or if there is anything you want to ask, just ask me, and I will know everything. ”
Princess An Ning smiled affectionately and casually: "Okay, after the luncheon, I'll ask you carefully." ”
Gu Caiping watched from the sidelines, her eyes hot and jealous.
This Xu Jinyu is just a broken family and came to the capital to join his aunt Xiao Zou. Stained with the light of the Hou Mansion, she was friendly with Ji Yu, and even the noble Princess An Ning treated her kindly
Obviously, she is a well-educated lady from a famous family, and she is better than Xu Jinyu. Why does everyone see Xu Jinyu in their eyes?
On this side, Ji Yuzheng asked Gu Lingxue in a low voice: "Cousin Ling Xue, is Cousin Yuanqing sick?" How's it going? ”
Chen Lingxue sighed lightly: "The third brother has been having a high fever that does not go away, and the second aunt is so anxious that she doesn't even have the heart to eat, and she takes care of her by the bedside every day." The third brother only had a fever yesterday, but this time he was sick and hurt a lot of energy, so he had to recuperate for a while. In fact, he originally wanted to come to the Qin Wangfu with the eldest brother and the second brother today, but the second aunt resolutely refused to allow it, and the second brother did not approve of it, so he stayed in the mansion honestly. ”
Ji Yu thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Are you in the mansion, have you heard any gossip about Cousin Yuanqing?" Did the second aunt mention anyone? ”
"Not really." Chen Lingxue was not suspicious, and answered honestly: "However, the second aunt has not been in a good mood these days. ”
It's good that there is no rumor.
Ji Yu was relieved at this time.
After the luncheon, Princess An Ning smiled at Xu Jinyu and said, "Jinniang, it's the first time you have come to King Qin's mansion, and I will lead you to the garden." ”R1152
