Chapter 350: Birthday Banquet (1)

Xu Jinyu went back to her parents' house to stay, not only Xu Zheng and Zou were happy, but Cao Ying was also very happy. Holding Xu Jinyu's hand, he smiled and said, "When you come back this time, you can stay for a few more days." ”

The Zou family is kind and easy to get along with, but after all, the generations are different, and Cao Ying and Zou don't have much to say. Xu Zheng was not at home during the day, and Cao Ying was inevitably a little lonely.

Xu Jinyu came back differently. The two have similar temperaments and similar ages, and now they are both pregnant, and they have many common topics. Sitting together and discussing the matter of raising a child, you can talk about it for a long time.

Xu Jinyu returned to her parents' home and felt very comfortable.

The Ye family treated her kindly, but after all, they had only been together for a few months, and they were not familiar with each other. Besides, no matter how good the mother-in-law is, the daughter-in-law can't be too casual in front of the mother-in-law, and there is always a little restraint.

Returning to Xu's house and living in the boudoir before she got married, Xu Jinyu relaxed all over. There are more smiles on my faces, and my appetite is much better than before.

After living for more than ten days, Xu Jinyu's cheeks plumped up, and she raised all the meat she had lost before, and her complexion was quite ruddy.

Zou Shi glanced at Xu Jinyu a few times, and said with a smile: "Jinniang, you look much better these days. ”

Xu Jinyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I don't have a morning sickness reaction now, my appetite is very good, and the amount of food is better than that of my sister-in-law." It's hard to think about it. ”

Both Zou and Cao Ying were amused.

Cao Ying was pregnant a month earlier than Xu Jinyu, and now she is more than four months old, and her belly has bulged obviously. Xu Jinyu showed her pregnancy, and her stomach bulged slightly.

"You live at home in your mother's house. It's better to send someone to say to the Duchess of Anguo, stay a few more days and go back. Cao Ying suggested with a smile.

Xu Jinyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it." I've been back for half a month. I told my mother-in-law that I would stay for a few days. If you don't go back, your mother-in-law won't say anything, and she will definitely be unhappy in her heart. ”

Zou was reluctant in his heart, but said with a smile in his mouth: "Yes, I'll go back in two days!" ”

Two days later, Xu Jinyu returned to the Anguo Mansion.

The first thing he did when he returned home was to ask the Ye family for peace after he died.

Ye Shi glanced at it. said with a smile: "You have lived in your mother's house for more than half a month, and your complexion is much better than before." Why don't you stay longer? ”

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Now that I am married, I should live in my husband's house." When I went back to my mother's house to stay for a few days, my mother-in-law was already generous and considerate. If you stay for a long time and refuse to come back, you are too ignorant. When it is spread out, people will think that my mother-in-law treats me harshly. I just wanted to stay at my mother's house and not come back. My mother-in-law was kind to me. I can't let my mother-in-law have such a reputation. ”

In this case, how can you not make the mother-in-law feel comfortable?

Ye's brows furrowed, and he said with a smile: "Where are you so worried." You're too careful. Just stay longer, as long as I don't keep quiet, who dares to gossip. ”

Xu Jinyu took over the conversation with a smile: "It's not all because I'm afraid of people gossiping." I haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and I've been thinking about my mother-in-law. That's why I'm in a hurry to come back. ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Ye's is no exception. The smile in his eyes deepened a little.

She only has a son like Chen Yuanzhao for so many years. Mother and son are centrifugal, it is a good thing that Chen Yuanzhao is not angry when she meets, how can there be any warm words.

Now that he has his daughter-in-law by his side, Xiaoyi gently accompanies him to talk, which is much stronger than before.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped for a while, and Pearl hurriedly walked in to report: "Mrs. Qiqi, someone is in the palace." ”

Ye smiled and asked lightly, "Is it someone from the queen's side?" ”

Pearl replied respectfully: "It's the female official next to the queen's mother." ”

Ye didn't know what he thought, his eyes flashed slightly, and his expression was indifferent: "Let her in!" ”

Xu Jinyu stood up knowingly: "The queen mother must have something important to send the female officials around her." The daughter-in-law retired for the time being. ”

Ye Shi smiled and said: "I am a woman in the house, what can the queen mother do to find me." I think it's my mother's birthday is coming, and the palace is going to hold a banquet to celebrate, so let me go into the palace to accompany her to celebrate her birthday. You don't have to avoid it, and it doesn't hurt to stay and listen to it. ”

Ye was willing to let Xu Jinyu stay to observe, but Xu Jinyu was inconvenient to refuse, so she happily agreed

As Yip expected.

Queen Ye sent the female officials around her to deliver a message, and it was really for the birthday banquet five days later.

"Due to the unexpected death of His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang's birthday banquet last year was not held. This year, the emperor specially issued an order to let the mother organize the birthday banquet well. In addition to the concubines in the palace, Niangniang also invited several ladies into the palace. On the order of Niangniang, the slave maid was the first to come to the Anguo Mansion. ”

This female official is not outstanding in appearance, but she is quite articulate, and she said with a smile: "Niangniang also specially advised, ordering the slave maid to be the first to come out of the palace to invite the lady." It can be seen that in the heart of the mother, the weight of the lady is the heaviest. ”

Is the heaviest portion size?

Ye Shi tugged at the corners of his lips, and a sneering smile flashed in his eyes: "You go back to report to Niangniang, and I will definitely enter the palace early in five days to congratulate Niangniang on her birthday." ”

The female official responded with a smile, and looked at Xu Jinyu again: "Niangniang also specially ordered, when the time comes, please invite the second young grandmother to enter the palace with her wife." ”

Xu Jinyu was a little surprised, but she couldn't shirk it, and responded with a smile: "Thank you for the grace of the queen." ”

When the message arrived, the female officer did not stay long, and soon retired.

After the female officer left, Xu Jinyu frowned slightly.

Queen Ye held a banquet and invited the Ye family into the palace, why did she deliberately name her to enter the palace as well?

is still the sister who knows Ye best, and in just a few words, she broke Queen Ye's thoughts: "Your relationship with Yuan Zhao is a marriage given by the queen's mother." Speaking of which, the queen is also your matchmaker. She let you enter the palace to show her favor to Yuan Zhao. ”

Xu Jinyu suddenly realized.

Queen Ye did this, firstly, to show goodwill to Chen Yuanzhao's mother and son, and secondly, to show the emperor.

Ye saw all that Xu Jinyu had realized. I was secretly satisfied. Xu Jinyu is indeed smart and clever, and with a few words, she understood what she meant. What's even more rare is that he is smart but not arrogant. The temperament is supple and unassuming.

Chen Yuanzhao really has a vision.

"You have a stable fetus now, as long as you are careful, it will not be a big problem to enter the palace." Ye Shi thought for a while and admonished a few words: "However, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. When the time comes, you must remember that after entering the palace, do not enter anything. Don't even drink tea. ”

Yip's caution. Xu Jinyu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately restrained her smile and responded solemnly

After the Yuan family knew about it. Secretly jealous and hateful.

is also the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, why is it only Xu Jinyu's share of such a good thing as entering the palace to congratulate the queen's mother's birthday? She, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, is unknown and no one cares?

Yuan felt aggrieved and chattered in front of her husband Chen Yuanbai: "I have been married for so many years. added two grandchildren to the Chen family. There is no merit and hard work! But my mother-in-law never took my daughter-in-law in her eyes, and even brought Xu Jinyu with her when she entered the palace. ”

Chen Yuanbai raised his eyebrows a little impatiently: "The queen mother named Xu to enter the palace, and didn't let you go by name, how can I blame my mother." ”

Yuan was choked for a moment, feeling more and more aggrieved, and soon his eyes turned red: "The queen didn't put me in her eyes, in the final analysis, it's not because I am the eldest daughter-in-law." Naturally, he is not worthy of being compared with Xu's daughter-in-law."

These words can be regarded as poking Chen Yuanbai's sore spot.

Chen Yuan stood up in vain, his face was quite ugly: "You mean that I have affected you?" ”

Chen Yuanbai has always been favored by An Guogong. If it weren't for his lower background, he would have inherited the title and family business. The identity of the concubine. It has always been a hidden pain that Chen Yuanbai is unwilling to complain about.

As soon as Yuan's words came out, he knew that he had lost his words, and he regretted it in his heart. Where did you dare to complain again, and hurriedly wiped her tears and smiled: "I was a momentary gaffe just now, I never meant this, don't take it to heart." ”

Chen Yuanbai snorted coldly and walked away.

Leaving Yuan in place, full of chagrin and self-blame.

Chen Yuanbai was in a bad mood and simply went to An Guogong's study.

An Guogong recently accepted a beautiful maid to make a room, at this time, the maid in the room was studying ink, and An Guogong was practicing calligraphy, which was quite a bit of red sleeves and fragrance.

After Chen Yuanbai came in, the young and beautiful maid was very interested and immediately retreated.

Seeing Chen Yuanbai's unhappy expression, An Guogong immediately put down the pen in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it that the errand of the military department is not going well? ”

Chen Yuanbai hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "It's not a matter of the Ministry of War. It was Yuan who was crying in front of me just now, and I was unhappy in my heart, so I reprimanded her a few words. ”

An Guogong immediately understood what was going on: "Your mother is going to lead the Xu family into the palace, so the Yuan family is not happy, right?" ”

No matter how big the Anguo Mansion is, it is all under the nose of An Guogong. Every move that happened in the house could never be hidden from his ears and eyes.

Chen Yuanbai didn't say anything, and he admitted it.

An Guogong's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Queen Ye is your mother's sister-in-law, and her feelings are different from others. This is something that others envy and can't envy. You go back and tell the Yuan family that if you make trouble about this matter in the future, don't stay at the Chen family. You can write a letter of resignation at any time and send her back to Yuan's house. ”

This is a very important statement.

Chen Yuanbai responded in a low voice. Although he was angry with Yuan, he was so ruthless when he heard An Guogong say it, and he felt quite bad in his heart.

The father and son were relatively speechless for a moment, and Chen Yuanbai retired and left.

Only An Guogong was left alone in the study. An Guogong's face quickly became gloomy.

The slut of the Ye family, who had the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the emperor privately, was magnanimous and generous, knowing what was going on between the Ye family and the emperor, he was even willing to let the Ye family enter the palace

Chen Yuanzhao still doesn't know his life experience! This time lead the troops to the border pass, it is better to die at the border pass and never come back!

An Guogong thought viciously.

If Chen Yuanzhao dies like this, all the sullen he has been holding back for many years will come out, and he will no longer have to wear that green hat. No matter how angry the emperor is, he can't blame him for coming up, and it is really a good thing to be able to smoothly pass on the title and family business to his own son!

Five days later.

As soon as the sky was bright, Xu Jinyu got up and dressed and dressed. When I arrived at Shi'an Hall, I had breakfast with Ye's family. Then, get into the carriage together.

The carriage moved quite gently.

Xu Jinyu sat opposite Ye, and her gaze naturally fell on Ye.

Ye Shi is obviously carefully dressed up today, and he looks more and more beautiful, elegant and charming.

Xu Jinyu has also seen many beauties, and she is also outstanding, but she has to admit that Ye is the most outstanding beauty she has seen in her life. That beauty, which has transcended age, is quietly revealed in gestures. Every move, every smile and smile is heartbreaking.

No wonder the emperor has been obsessed with the Ye family for so many years

Ye Shi noticed Xu Jinyu's exploratory gaze, raised his head and smiled at Xu Jinyu: "It's not that you haven't seen me, why do you keep staring at me today?" ”

Xu Jinyu sighed sincerely: "It's actually a little inappropriate for my daughter-in-law to say such things. However, the mother-in-law is so beautiful today, and the daughter-in-law is reluctant to blink when she sees it. ”

Such praise is enough to make all women's hearts bloom.

Ye Shi didn't have much joy, and even pulled the corners of his lips without self-deprecation: "No matter how beautiful you are, in this life, whether you live a happy life or not has nothing to do with beauty." ”

Like her.

was famous in the capital for his stunning beauty, and secretly admired his brother-in-law as the prince. But she was jealous and resentful of her sister, and designed her to marry the greedy and lustful, cowardly and useless An Guogong. Within a few years, the husband and wife turned against each other. In a fit of rage, she had an affair with the emperor and gave birth to a son.

In the years that followed, she paid a huge price for her impulsiveness.

Her husband hates her to the core, her son resents her, and although the emperor misses her, he sees her at most two or three times a year because of her identity.

The long nights are long, bleak and lonely, and those who have not experienced it can't experience that kind of taste at all.

Ye sighed in his heart, and his expression darkened.

Xu Jinyu saw that Ye's interest was not high, and she also guessed Ye's mind slightly. Ye's temperament is arrogant, and she is a mother-in-law, as a daughter-in-law, she must pay attention to some proportions if she wants to comfort, otherwise it will only backfire.

Xu Jinyu thought for a while and smiled: "After a few months, the child will be born." The daughter-in-law is young and knowledgeable, and she has never brought a child, so she will have to worry about her mother-in-law when the time comes. By that time, my mother-in-law probably won't have time to groom and look in the mirror. It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or ugly. ”

Ye Shi was really amused and smiled: "I'm looking forward to this day!" ”

Xu Jinyu followed this topic and deliberately talked about topics such as children to make Ye happy. How shrewd and perceptive Yip is, how can he not perceive Xu Jinyu's intentions?

Ye's heart swelled with warmth, and he and Xu Jinyu got closer again.

Queen Ye invited her into the palace, but she didn't have any good intentions at all. However, she entered the palace this time for another purpose (to be continued......
