On the day of the winter solstice, King Huai worshiped his ancestors in the palace and feasted hundreds of officials. Even Zhao Guogong, who was recuperating from illness, also went to the banquet by car, and only a group of female dependents remained in the Guogong Mansion, and they opened a family banquet by themselves, eating around the stove, and sharing the mushroom and fresh meat soup stewed with muntjac.

At the banquet, Mrs. Chen treated the seventh girl very politely, not only considerate and ordered the maid to serve her hot soup in front of Chunying, but also ordered someone to add another brazier and put it at her feet on the grounds that she grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and was afraid that she would not be used to the harsh winter in the north.

Mrs. Chen made such an obvious gesture of affection, and Mrs. Xu only raised her eyes and turned a blind eye. is still lukewarm to the princess, and she doesn't treat her as her own family.

The Chen family borrowed the seven girls to faintly provoke the Duchess of the Kingdom and block the Xu family.

Mother Shan stood behind Xu's family, and she couldn't persuade the Duchess with her cold face, and she couldn't help it. The Xu family is so strong, so strong for a lifetime. When Zhao Guogong came to him, he still refused to bow his head, not to mention the foxy Chen family, and the princess who was used as a gun by the Chen family, and was a little innocent.

The seventh girl held a hot small porcelain bowl, pretending to be stupid and stunned at the open guns and hidden arrows in the back house. only lowered his eyes, tasting the broth with relish, as if he was not aware of the knife that he had been used by the Chen family as a knife to stab the heart of the Duchess of the country. Instead, he politely thanked Mrs. Chen.

Xu glanced at her and frowned slightly. After that, he remained silent and did not look at her directly.

Today's family banquet, those with high positions gathered in the main hall. Those concubines who couldn't get on the stage were rewarded by the Duchess and Princess, and each guarded their own courtyards, which were deserted, even if they survived another year.

After eating, it is customary to eat a cup of tea, and everyone is lively and lively, and it should be a solar term.

When the seventh girl first arrived, she had leisure and listened to that person's words, and rarely got involved in backyard affairs, so there were not many people who came and went.

This is the first time since I visited my relatives the day after the wedding, and I have seen the people in each room so neatly.

"I walk around a lot on weekdays. The son of the world is too, even if you are rare, you can't hide people in Xishan like this. Knowing that Xishanju is adjacent to Chunqiuzhai and heavily guarded, it is not easy to find you to speak. ”

There is no need to worry too much about the Duchess of Guo here, the one who treats her close is none other than Mrs. Guan. Xu knew that Gu Yao and his sister and brother had a deep relationship since childhood, and they felt that they owed their eldest daughter, and that the clan was determined to marry Gu Yao far away and marry the Guan family, she couldn't speak, so she could only let it go. Gu Yao has not been happy in these years, and Xu feels sorry for her, but she can only make up more when she returns to Beijing, and she also loves Brother Yi very much.

At this time, seeing that she was friendly with the princess, the Xu family knew that she must have been instructed by the prince. didn't want to get too stiff with his son, Xu lowered his head, only hugged Brother Yi in his arms, and teased him lovingly.

The seven girls chatted with Mrs. Guan on the one hand, and paid attention to the actions of everyone in the hall.

I saw the fourth girl, Gu Zhen, peeling the orange with her own hands, first honoring the Xu family, but turning around and moving lightly, she was also very respectful and filial, and she also peeled a big and red tangerine for Mrs. Chen.

The seventh girl sighed secretly, no wonder that person was far less loving to Gu Zhen than he loved Brother Yi. The four girls are like their biological mothers and adoptive mothers, and they are also respectful, saying that it sounds good and is affectionate. If it doesn't sound good, it is a lack of heart. didn't see the Xu family and the Chen family, who treated her sincerely.

The seventh girl felt that the fourth girl, Gu Zhen, had a pure nature, and it was not easy for the family to raise such a girl with such a heart. She has a good impression of Gu Zhen, but in the eyes of that person, she is afraid that she will dislike her in the tone she used to dislike at the beginning, and dislike the fourth girl "so stupid that it is incurable." ”

She couldn't help but recall that back then, the man bluffed her with a gloomy face, "If you are bullied by others for doing nothing, you will weaken the reputation of the Guogong Mansion, and you will be blamed for the fact that the son of the world will do it and pick you up first." ”

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and then she went back and saw how he treated her at the beginning, and then she realized that it was not easy to get his teachings. Compared with Gu Zhen, that person was already very patient with her.

was talking about the four girls in his heart, and saw the girl coming over with a tray with a smile, and greeted crisply, "Sister-in-law eats oranges, sister-in-law eats oranges." ”

After Mrs. Guan, the seventh girl also forked a piece, put it in her mouth, and nodded at her with a smile, "It's very sweet, you can taste it too." ”

Four girls joined, chattering, telling everyone about the excitement in Beijing and telling everyone. On which day, the Jiaojiao feasted and gathered in the club, carried out the flower order, and invited each other to swing and play polo, such an interesting story, after the mouth of the four girls, she was told by her vividly, which attracted everyone's attention, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Not everyone cheered for the excitement of the four girls, for example, the second girl Gu Yun and the third girl Gu Tong, who were sitting next to each other opposite, only watched coldly.

These gatherings are not accessible to just one person. There are different concubines, and each has its own circle.

Brother Yi saw this excitement, so he got off the ground noisily, climbed on Mrs. Guan by himself, and sat upright like a little adult. I don't know if I can understand it.

When the fourth girl saw Brother Yi coming, she quickly picked a big orange and fed him. Brother Yi took it obediently, quietly, not noisy or noisy, which made Gu Zhenda love it, and raised his hand to touch his head wearing a tiger fur hat.

Brother Yi was not happy at this time, holding the orange, dodging left and right, and looking for Mrs. Guan to complain.

"Sister-in-law, don't touch Brother Yi'er's head, it won't grow tall."

I don't know where he heard the truth, which caused everyone to laugh.

Seeing Brother Yi'er protesting seriously, the seventh girl was very unkind, covering her mouth and following the fun. But I thought in my heart: No wonder she is not tall, it turns out that she has been touched by Jiang Yu and that person since she was a child. She also went to sue when she turned around.

After laughing, the four girls continued to chatter.

"Where is there any need to talk in such detail, it is like no one has never seen the world. When was the noble girl in Beijing not so funny? In the midst of the harmony, suddenly a discordant complaint sounded. But it was the third girl, Gu Tong, knocking on the melon seeds, with an impatient face.

"You be quiet, the princess has just entered the door, and she really didn't attend such a meeting." The second girl looks exactly like the third girl, and she is teaching her sister a lesson, but in fact, she has something to say. But he made fun of the new concubine who came in from a low background, and before marrying the prince, she had never received a post from the Beijing Noble Girls Society.

Mrs. Cao's face stiffened, and she couldn't wait to go back to the room for these two ignorant people. What did she rely on to gain a foothold in the house? does not have the background of the Duchess of Guo, let alone the beauty of the Chen family, but it is just the blessing of the old lady. In addition, she has her own duties, and she can be a person. It's a pity that she has a pair of noble daughters on her knees, because they are twins, they are very loved by the princess, and her temperament is inevitably arrogant.

Anyone who is rudely interrupted in the middle of his sentence will not be happy. The fourth girl frowned deeply, glared at the two of them angrily, and looked back at the seventh girl worriedly.

Brother Yi is young, and he can't understand the hidden mysteries in the words of adults. Only broke a petal of orange, learned the appearance of the fourth girl, seemed to be the same, raised his arm, and handed it to the mouth of the seventh girl.

The seven girls were stunned, and by burying their heads in eating oranges, they secretly took everyone's looks into their eyes. pinched Brother Yi'er's cheeks, as if she didn't hear the second girl and the third girl's private discussion of her, she only smiled and praised Brother Yi'er, and the whole thing was nothing.

"What the four girls just said is just a girl's family fun, if you really want to talk about major events in Beijing, you have to count the spring of next year, the upcoming election. Now that the new monarch has been filial piety, this is the first time that King Huai has filled the harem after he ascended the throne. At that time, I don't know how many Jiaojiao, squeezing their heads, and they have to fight for that opportunity. ”

Mrs. Chen relieved the siege for the seven girls in a timely manner, and the tone of the conversation changed, and she was very clever in starting a new conversation, but she sold the seven girls a favor again.

The seventh girl smiled like a mirror in her heart, and smiled without saying a word. Quietly listen to everyone's nomination, which noble family has a good girl and a good piano, and may be favored by the king.

At this moment, she still doesn't know that the general election, which should have nothing to do with her, has already had extraneous branches.

Ah~~~ Finally paid off the debt, and it was easy.
