Chapter 186: The so-called flower banquet
When Mo Ziyu heard this, his heart suddenly sudden, his smile was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly pressed his sideburns behind his ears to cover it, his eyes turned around, and he asked, "Why did the prince say this?"
"This king intends to make you a side concubine, but you are still young and have nothing to do, so this king is also difficult!" Liu Xu put down his chopsticks and said.
"What about the third lady?" Mo Ziyu hurriedly said, "The third lady has been in the mansion for ten years, and she should be promoted to the next level!"
The original pattern of this Qi Wangfu is balanced and mutually restrictive. Now that this balance has been broken, the Yang family is dominant, no wonder Liu Xu is worried.
"This king will think about it. Liu Xu said, "Three days later, the Queen Mother will have a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and the princess's body has not completely recovered, so you will go with the third lady and the eighth lady, and you will take care of everything." ”
"Yes. ”
Qin Wangfu.
Since that time when Fu Hui had a fight at Shangguan Yu'er and was kicked out, she cried with King Qin but wanted to apologize, but Fu Hui stopped for a while.
But now my mind is alive again, for the sake of the flower banquet.
This flower banquet, although it is said that the ladies of various families and provinces are invited to enjoy the flowers, in the final analysis, it is also a family banquet, and all the ladies who have been on the jade butterfly will also go on this day. In the past, she rarely participated in every banquet, and she couldn't show her face in front of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother didn't like her very much, if the Queen Mother had seen her and talked to her, with her appearance and appearance, she was ten thousand times better than Shangguan Yu'er, and the Queen Mother would definitely love her.
It's just that why Shangguan Yu'er hasn't talked to herself about this matter for a long time?
The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she felt that Shangguan Yu'er was unwilling to let her go and steal her limelight.
"Madam, the prince will not let us go to the princess. Caixia called Liu Ling to scare her last time, for fear that something would happen to make the prince unhappy, so she didn't dare to instigate Fu Rui to do anything, but often persuaded her.
"When did the prince say he wouldn't let me go?" said Furao, "Besides, I'm not here to make trouble, I'm just going to ask for an explanation." ”
"Then you can't go like that, lady. Caixia said, "Think about it, although you have the final say on the big and small matters of the Qin Palace, but the list of people who go to the flower banquet is in the hands of the princess, if you go rashly, she will have to go alone, find a reason why you are sick and can't go out, what if she doesn't take you there?"
She smiled wryly, and said, "You forgot, last time, you only gave some of these dragon wells to the princess?"
"Is there such a thing?" Fleur pretended to be stupid, "it must be that slave who accidentally did something wrong, you go and check that this matter was done by that slave, I just took him to the princess to ask for guilt, I have such an attitude, if she doesn't mention the matter of the flower banquet again, I will not finish with her." ”
Caixia sighed and went to do what Fleur had ordered.
In the afternoon, Fu Hui really went to Shangguan Yu'er, this time she didn't dare to be instructed by Yiqi, but accompanied by a smiling face.
Pei Lan waited beside Shangguan Yu'er, looked at the figure of Fu Hui coming, frowned and said impatiently: "Why is she here again? She still has the face, and she hasn't settled accounts with her about such a Longjing thing as Miss last time! How can she say that she also grew up in Mofu, how can she be full of means that can't be put on the table, deducting food and clothing, that is a means used by small families! Miss, your dowry, that's dozens of boxes, do you care about these things?"
Shangguan Yu'er raised her hand and asked her not to continue, and said lightly: "You go and tell her that I am not there." ”
"Yes. Perrin said, closing the window.
After a while, I saw Fleur coming to inquire, Pei Lan stepped forward, blessed her body, and said lightly: "Mrs. Fleur came unfortunately, the princess is not feeling well at this time, and she fell asleep." ”
"Oh, the princess is not feeling well, what's the matter?" said Fleur pretending to be concerned, "but have you invited a doctor to come and see?"
"See, it's fine. Pei Lan said lightly, "If there is something about Madame, the slave can pass it on." ”
"It's nothing. Fu Hui sat down and brought Caixia up, "I just heard that the dragon well that was given to the princess two days ago turned out to be like this, this matter is all my negligence, the princess's sister can suffer such grievances, I immediately asked Caixia to investigate this matter, it turned out to be a slave who is not long-eyed, and the dragon well that is going to be given to the daughter-in-law of each room is confused with the high-grade dragon well that is going to be given to the princess, and I am pressing it to ask the princess for guilt." ”
"It turns out that it's still a second-class Longjing!" Pei Lan was slightly surprised, "The princess doesn't like Longjing, so she rewards us, and we slaves don't have good tongues, so we can't taste the good times." Our princess likes the big red robe, and yesterday the prime minister's mansion just sent some superb big red robes, which can't be bought with silver. Madame Fleur should take some back and taste them, if she is called someone else, the princess is reluctant to give them!"
"No need. Fu Rui smiled reluctantly, she originally wanted to insult Shangguan Yu'er to vent her anger, but she didn't expect that people didn't care at all. Her identity and family background are stronger than herself, and her only advantage is the favor of King Qin, but she doesn't care, she can't find anyone who may overpower her.
"The slave will tell the princess about this, I wonder if there is anything else to do with Madame Furao?" asked Perrin again.
"That's right. Fu Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "In two days, the Queen Mother will prepare a flower banquet in the Imperial Garden, I wonder if the princess will bring me with me?"
"It turns out that Mrs. Fleur is here for this matter!" Pei Lan smiled faintly, "Yesterday, the princess has already reported the list, naturally there is a lady, why didn't the prince tell you? Yesterday, the princess and the princess discussed this matter together, and the princess didn't seem to want Mrs. Fleur to enter the palace, but the princess felt that since it was a family banquet, it was to go together, and the princess didn't say anything in the end, just let the princess be the master." So don't worry, Madame!"
Peilan, this girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, seems to be telling good news to Fleur, but in fact, the words are heart-wrenching, which makes the couple's cheeks a little red, and they are a little angry in their hearts, and they can't attack.
"I see, thank you, Princess. Furao barely squeezed out a smile, "Then I won't bother the princess, I'll leave first!"
Perrin looked at Fleur's back and snorted.
Fu Hui left in a hurry, and Caixia followed behind and persuaded: "It's a good thing that we can go to the flower banquet, why is Madam still angry!"
"What's the good, the prince was actually with that slut yesterday, and the prince still doesn't want me to go to the palace, what does he think, will I embarrass him?" Furao sneered, "What kind of kindness do you have when that slut, she is pretending to be generous in front of the prince, pity me and disgust me!"
She snorted coldly: "Okay, wait until I behave well at the flower banquet and win the love of the queen mother." ”
And in this April, Mo Ziyu also received the news that Northern Xia and Western Wei had a war, and there were two confrontations, but the scale was not large, although there were not many casualties, but Northern Xia still had the upper hand, which made the court and the central government a lot more excited, and also made those who were against the war temporarily shut up.
The purpose of the Queen Mother's flower banquet is also to appease people's hearts and highlight the prosperity.
The day before the flower banquet, Mo Ziyu changed into men's clothes, went to the security hall, and met Rong Qian.
"Is there any news from Master Taste Hundred Herbs?" asked Mo Ziyu.
Rong Qian shook his head and said, "Master has always come and gone without a trace. ”
Last time, when the Ziwang family was about to wronged the third lady, she said that she had tried the herbs for those medicines, and Mo Ziyu also had a master who really came back, and he really went back to the capital for a day, but he came and went in a hurry, and Mo Ziyu failed to meet him.
"What did you do with what King Qi asked you last time?" Mo Ziyu asked again.
Rong Qian took out a box from his sleeve, opened the box, and inside the box was a small bone, and he said lightly: "Died of chronic poisoning, at least slowly poisoned for three years, the toxicity is very hidden, and there is no way to find out if you call the imperial doctor." ”
"I see. Mo Ziyu nodded, "It's still Brother Rong, I've seen it, but because it's already a white bone, I haven't seen the clue." ”
This small bone was taken from Liu Xu's mother, and he always suspected that his mother was killed, but after more than ten years, the evidence was gone, so he had to let the old Liu, who was guarding the spirit, go to a small piece of bone.
Generally, people who die of poisoning will have black bones, but there is nothing abnormal about this white bone, Mo Ziyu couldn't see the clue, so she had to tell Liu Xu that she knew the disciple who tasted the herbs, and Liu Xu asked her to give it a try.
Rong Qian didn't ask who the owner of the bone was, but just said what he had found.
"There is one more thing, the person who has been tracking down by the county lord Liu Yao has also gained eyebrows. Rong said lightly, "There should be news soon." ”
Now, although it is certain that Fu Hui bought Gu worms from Southern Xinjiang through merchants, it will not help if there is no person who is proficient in Gu art to plant them for her. There are only a handful of Gu masters in this capital, and it is not too difficult to track down.
"That's fine. Mo Ziyu said, "Brother Rong, do you have any news from the border gate?
Rong Qian looked at Mo Ziyu steadily, as if it was his little junior sister in front of him, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and a gentle smile rarely appeared, and said, "Don't worry, everything is fine." If it goes well, you can come back before winter. ”
"That's fine. Mo Ziyu lowered his eyes and smiled, "I don't look forward to anything else, I just hope that they can return safely." On that day, I will surely welcome them in triumph!"
Rong Qian looked at her smile: "There will be that day." Master will like you when he sees you, you are really similar to my younger brother and sister. ”
