Chapter 237: Human Favor (enigmayanxi and Shibi+)
The woman came back from the outer courtyard and hurried to the flower hall where the banquet was held in the main courtyard.
Du Hengshuang listened to the mother-in-law's reply, covered her sleeves and chuckled, looked back at the crown princess above and said, "It's really unfortunate, Cheng Fu'er will not be able to dance for the princess for a while." The crown princess should have some rice first. As he spoke, he ordered the kitchen to serve a few specially prepared dishes to the crown princess.
"This peony swallow dish is made of high-quality official swallow and swallow silk, and then sprinkled with first-grade lotus root powder and steamed in a pot. You see this swallow silk is crystal clear, the lotus root powder is bright, coiled together, carved into the appearance of a blooming peony. ”
"This righteous white duck is made of wolfberry, ginseng and Huadiao mixed into a marinade, and the duck legs are soaked in it for four days, and then steamed in the basket. The duck meat has a strong medicinal aroma and wine aroma. ”
"There is also this peach blossom on a snowy night, which is made with chicken egg white frost mixed with milk, and the whole tiger shrimp on this is stir-fried with fresh and spicy sauce, and placed together with chicken egg white frost mixed with milk, which is a famous dish that the master of Zhuangyuan Building came up with." Du Hengshuang introduced with a smile.
In fact, this is the last dish of "Peach Blossoms on a Snowy Night", which is a dish that Du Hengxue came up with. Du Hengshuang didn't want others to know about it, so he pretended to be an original dish created by the master chef of Zhuangyuan Building.
The crown princess was really attracted by the "peach blossoms on a snowy night", and ordered the palace maid to present it to her, twisted a cluster of chicken eggs and white frost and tasted it carefully, and kept nodding and said, "It's really good." This is the first time I've tasted this kind of delicacy. - Reward. The crown princess commanded.
Du Hengshuang hurriedly called the master of the Zhuangyuan Building.
Through a screen, the master of the champion building saluted to the crown princess. I gladly accepted the reward.
After waiting for a while, the crown princess ate all the three dishes presented before putting down her chopsticks and asking, "Why hasn't Cheng Fu'er arrived yet?" Mrs. Zhu Guohou, can you go and urge it? ”
"Yes." Du Hengshuang got up with a smile, went out to call a mother-in-law, and then ran to the outer courtyard.
This time, when the mother-in-law came back, she brought a chamberlain beside the prince, and the chamberlain bowed to the princess and said, "Qiqi princess, Cheng Fu'er was accepted as a concubine by the prince just now." He has already ordered someone to carry him to the East Palace. The crown prince asked the princess to remember to assign a palace room to Cheng Fuer tomorrow. Today, Cheng Fu'er temporarily stayed in the prince's dormitory. ”
The faint smile on the crown princess's face froze there suddenly.
The prince is a slap in the face in public.
The crown princess's nails suddenly pinched tightly in the palm of her hand.
A smile flashed in Prince Yi's eyes. said to Du Hengshuang: "Yo, we don't have any eyes today." In the future, Cheng Fu'er will become a nobleman, maybe we will have to salute her. ”
"It's just a maiko. Don't worry about the second siblings. The crown princess's voice froze.
Du Hengshuang nodded, "The crown princess is right. It's just a maiko. Except for Cheng Fuer. We have other maiko here. Just now, Master Hou has ordered them to come in, and they will soon be able to feast everyone's eyes. ”
However, the ladies in the flower hall were already attracted by the news just now.
was already speculating whether the crown princess fell out of favor because she gave birth to a daughter, but now it seems to confirm everyone's speculation. There was a tacit smile on everyone's face.
The crown princess's face only stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal, and said casually: "It's nothing." Men are like this, and they come here like this when they are young. In the big family, the concubine room is the furnishings in the house, and the family without the concubine room is not allowed to be on the table, which makes people laugh. - Mrs. Zhu Guohou, what do you say? ”
Du Hengshuang smiled indifferently at all: "Our family is not a big family, and we can't climb high." ”
The crown princess smiled, "The title of Marquis of Zhuguo is almost nothing in the mouth of Mrs. Marquis of Zhuguo." As he spoke, he glanced at Madame Muhou's table.
Mrs. Mu Hou understood, hurriedly got up from her seat, pulled Mu Yelai to walk to Du Hengshuang, bowed deeply, and begged: "Mrs. Zhuguohou, the old body has something to ask for. ”
Du Hengshuang looked at the eyebrows of the crown princess and Mrs. Muhou just now, and a pair of dark and heavy eyes only stopped on the top of Mu Yelai's lowered head, and said lightly: "Mrs. Muhou is polite." We are soft-spoken, and we don't know where we can help Mrs. Muhou. Mrs. Muhou is good friends with the crown princess, so it is better to ask the crown princess if she has something. ”
Mrs. Muhou was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at the crown princess, and quickly withdrew her gaze, staring at the case in front of Du Hengshuang and said with a smile: "Why did Mrs. Zhuguo Marquis say this?" Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is so noble, how can she be friendly with people like us? ”
"Hey, didn't I just see the crown princess give you a look, and you pulled your daughter over to talk to me? Am I mistaken? Du Hengshuang supported himself with his hand, propped his arm on the case, and said with a deliberate smile.
Mrs. Muhou was old and sophisticated, and she had calmed down at this time, and said with a sneer: "Mrs. Zhuguo Marquis is really good at laughing. How can this be? - Mrs. Zhu Guohou must have seen it wrong. ”
Du Hengshuang let out a long "oh" and said with a smile: "Then I was wrong." ”
Prince Yi laughed out loud next to her.
There were also a few bits and pieces of laughter in the flower hall.
No matter how thick-skinned Mrs. Muhou was, she couldn't resist it at this time.
But the crown princess has hinted so obviously, if she doesn't say it, she will let the princess bear the false name, it is better to have the final say. Hengzhi is Mu Yelai, the little hoof, who is shameless, and she, who is a mother-in-law, is also benevolent and righteous.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Muhou said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhuguohou, let's not say dark words in front of the Mingren. Speaking of which, it's also a dilemma for me, a mother-in-law. The third lady of our family is the daughter of our Hou Ye, and her biological mother is also very favored in front of Hou Ye. ”
Du Hengshuang let out a "hmm" and said with a smile: "I really can't help Mrs. Muhou's family affairs." ”
Mrs. Muhou snorted and said, "This matter, Mrs. Zhuguo Marquis must not know the truth. If you know the way, with the virtuous and virtuous lady of the Marquis of Zhuguo, she will definitely not need us to speak, and will take the initiative to give us a name at night. ”
This is too abrupt.
The laughter and whispering in the flower hall suddenly stopped, and the room was silent.
Du Hengshuang was suffocated, and somehow, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he quickly glanced out of the door.
Ou Yangniang, who was waiting at the door, saw Du Hengshuang's eyes, and immediately sent the little maid to the outer courtyard to invite the Hou Ye over.
Du Hengshuang sat there motionless, looking at Mrs. Muhou quietly, without saying a word.
Mrs. Muhou waited for a long time, and she didn't wait for Du Hengshuang to take over the conversation, so she had to say again: "Here's the thing. My daughter loves to travel everywhere. A year ago, she went to Xuanmin Prefecture in Shuobei, and as a result, she saved a person in Wushui Town. ”
Du Hengshuang's heart sank. She knew that when Xiao Shiji was fighting with the Turks, he was in Xuanmin Prefecture. As for Wushui Town, she is also familiar with it......
Prince and Princess Yi looked at Du Hengshuang worriedly. This matter, she knows much more than Du Hengshuang, she knows that Xiao Shihe was rescued in Wushui Town, and she knows that Lu Dao is a woman, but who it is, she didn't know Lu Dao before. But today, she probably knows the way, it should be Mu Hou's concubine Mu Ye, right?
Although Mu Yelai is a concubine, the Mu family is a prominent family with the surname Zhaomu Jiu, and it has had a title since the Great Zhou Dynasty. When he arrived in Daqi, he was also a marquis. Mu Yelai's sister Mu Yege has now entered the palace, she is the favorite concubine of Emperor Yongchang, and in only two years, she has been promoted from a noble person to a concubine, and her status in the palace is transcendent, even the highest ranking Wan Guifei has to give her three points.
The mother's family is a wang family, and she is a relative of the imperial concubine, such a woman, even if she is a concubine, to the general family, not to mention doing a partial house, even the main room is done.
Although Du Hengshuang is the original match, her background is too low, and her father has died a long time ago, and her mother has remarried, which means that she has no mother's family. Now that Xiao Shi and his official fortune are prosperous, he really needs a strong Yue family to back him up.
In this case, ordinary men know how to choose, which is the most beneficial to themselves.
Can Du Hengshuang get through this hurdle?
Prince and Princess Yi thought about it, and still spoke to help Du Hengshuang speak, "Mrs. Muhou, this matter is very important, let's wait until it is clear." ”
Mrs. Muhou told this matter in public, and her purpose was achieved.
As for Du Hengshuang's willingness to accept Mu Ye's door, it was Du Hengshuang's business, and it had nothing to do with her mother-in-law.
However, seeing that Du Hengshuang didn't say a word, Mrs. Muhou also hated her for being so big, so she turned her head to look at Long Xiangye at the table next to Du Hengshuang and said, "Old Madam Xiao, this matter, the old lady is in charge." ”
Long Xiangye was puzzled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" Your daughter saved someone, what does it matter to us? ”
Mrs. Muhou had to say more clearly, "That's the case, the third lady of our family went to Wushui Town in Xuanmin Prefecture at that time, and happened to meet Zhu Guohou being chased and killed, so she saved Zhu Guohou, and lived in Yongnian County with Zhu Guohou for more than a year to help him heal his injuries and regulate his body. ”
After a pause, Mrs. Muhou smiled slowly: "...... The daily life and cooking of the Marquis of Zhu Guo are all handled by the little girl, not the hands of others. She has been with the Marquis of Zhu Guo for more than a year, who is willing to marry her? What else can we do, you say? ”
Only then did Long Xiangye understand that Xiao Shiji was rescued by Meng Muye, and he was so moved for a while that he got up from his seat, walked around to Mu Yelai, took her hand and said, "Third Miss, it's really a thank you." Our family owes you a great favor. As he spoke, he turned around and called Du Hengshuang to come over and thank him, "Shuang'er, why don't you come to Xie Lu Xie Musan?" Without her, we'd be drinking the Northwest Wind as a family. How can a family reunion be so happy? ”
