Chapter 37: The Family Feast
Hua Shenyue didn't answer him, and she didn't know how to answer. Lao Feng poured himself a glass of water, sat there leisurely and drank it.
Hua Shenyue looked at him intently, not knowing why he suddenly appeared. Lao Feng felt her gaze and thought she wanted to drink water.
He poured a glass of water, came to the bed, helped Hua Shenyue up, and while feeding her water, he didn't forget to sour her: "For the sake of a man, make yourself look like this." ”
"I'm not." Hua Shenyue drank the water and spoke softly.
"It's not the best, I said, don't do anything out of the ordinary, don't think about what you shouldn't think."
"Got it." Flower sinking moon lonely response.
Lao Feng didn't know when he left, and Hua Shenyue also fell asleep.
Fu Qinglian was under the tree, looking at Hua Shenyue, and did not leave until dawn, and he was even more determined to leave Hua Shenyue.
On this day, a holy decree suddenly came from the palace.
said that he wanted to invite King Jing to a family banquet, Fu Qinglian took the holy decree, and the small seal of the decree took advantage of the gap between receiving the holy decree and stuffed a small note into Fu Qinglian's hand.
As soon as the messenger left, Fu Qinglian opened it and looked at it, angrily crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it aside, and this small note read: Brother Lian, remember to bring Hua Shenyue with you.
Fu Qinglian was a little helpless, why was the imperial brother so interested in Hua Shenyue.
Since Lao Feng came that night, he has never appeared again, and Hua Shenyue has slowly recovered under everyone's care.
I don't know if King Jing gave an order, these days, she just stays in the courtyard, she doesn't have to do anything, and there is delicious food from time to time
Hua Shenyue felt that she had been living a fairy life in the past few days.
But happy days will always come to an end.
On this day, Fu Qinglian came unprecedentedly.
At that time, Hua Shenyue was lying on a wicker chair, basking in the sun happily, and when she was about to fall asleep, a long-lost voice sounded in her ears.
"Life is good, but I'm starting to be lazy." Fu Qinglian walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Aqing, you're here, how is your health?" Hua Shenyue stretched out her hand and wanted to give Fu Qinglian a pulse.
Fu Qinglian flashed for a moment, sat down by himself, and said coldly: "Jingwangfu doesn't raise idlers, so if you can't stay, leave quickly." ”
Hua Shenyue pursed her lips, no longer looking for boredom, "What's the matter?" ”
"No, the king of Japan is going to enter the palace for a banquet, and you will go with this king."
"What are you taking me for? I'm just a subordinate. Hua Shenyue picked up the tea and drank half of it, and put it down again in surprise.
Fu Qinglian stared at her and said leisurely: "Then I want to ask you." ”
Hua Shenyue was scared, for fear that Fu Beixing was going to ask for the guilt, so she asked tentatively: "Can you not go?" ”
"It's a holy decree." Fu Qinglian didn't give her a chance to refuse at all.
Hua Shenyue nodded resignedly, with a reluctant expression.
Meng Hongyi was leisurely tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, and the maid suddenly hurriedly stepped forward, and said a few words beside her, Meng Hongyi's face changed suddenly.
"Does he really want to do this?"
The maid nodded.
"Damn." Meng Hongyi threw the scissors to the ground.
Hua Shenyue had just sent Fu Qinglian away, and after a while, suddenly Cuihua, who was beside Meng Hongyi, led a few people in.
The person who came put down his things and left, leaving Hua Shenyue alone in the wind.
Cuihua counted her things and said to Hua Shenyue: "Hua Shenyue, the princess learned that you are also going to enter the palace with you, and these are all rewards for you." Don't lose the face of the royal palace at the banquet. ”
"Princess Xie." Hua Shenyue looked confused, but she still thanked her first. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said: "It's just that the princess gave me so much, I don't need it, I'm just a subordinate, so please ask the princess to take it back." ”
Cuihua's face was unhappy, "How can there be any reason to take it back, you just look down on the things rewarded by the princess like this, can only the reward of the prince enter your eyes?" ”
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Hua Shenyue felt that she was getting darker and darker, and she just wanted to refuse politely, but it became hers.
Cuihua said proudly: "The subordinate is the subordinate, the master has a reward, it is a favor, don't be ashamed." ”
"Also, when you go to the palace, you must bring these, remember?"
Hua Shenyue lowered her head helplessly, "Yes, Princess Xie." "She still doesn't want to struggle, it's useless to struggle more.
After the group left, Hua Shenyue picked up these things and began to watch, in fact, she had some doubts in her heart, although she practiced medicine all year round, but she still knew a little about these things.
The things that Meng Hongyi rewarded are worth a lot of money at a glance, even the clothes are all good, exclusively for the royal family, what is this Meng Hongyi's idea? And let her wear these jewelry.
The woman's heart is full of needles, and Hua Shenyue can't figure it out even if she wants to break her head, so she put all these things in and carefully put them in the bottom cabinet.
"Lord, today the princess gave Hua Shenyue a lot of valuable things." Chen Shi reported to Fu Qinglian.
"Hua Shenyue has been harvested?"
"Took it and hid it again." Chen Shi continued.
"It's not too stupid." Fu Qinglian smiled and turned the page of the book.
"The prince really wants to bring Hua Shenyue into the palace together, I'm afraid it will cause discussion."
Fu Qinglian closed the book and said no more.
"The subordinates are talkative."
"Someone is coming, and you won't greet you?"
Before the words fell, the voice of the little servant sounded outside the door: "Lord, the princess asks to see." ”
"Biography." Fu Qinglian waved his hand and let Chen Shi go down.
Meng Hongyi held a food box in his hand and elegantly saluted Fu Qinglian, "I've seen the prince." ”
Fu Qinglian picked up Meng Hongyi, "The princess is exempt." On such a hot day, why did you come here in person. ”
Meng Hongyi smiled, "This is a special place to make amends to the prince, last time it was the concubine who lost her sense of proportion, and I hope the prince will not blame." ”
"What is the princess's words, it should be that the king should make amends, but the king's words are heavy." In terms of acting, Fu Qinglian is also a good hand.
"This is for the king?" Fu Qinglian looked at the food box and asked.
Meng Hongyi took out the longan lotus seed soup in the food box, "The prince is afraid of the heat, so the concubine stewed a bowl of soup for the prince, the prince came and tasted it." As he spoke, Meng Hongyi took out the spoon.
"It is the king's fortune to have a wife like this." Fu Qinglian ate it.
Meng Hongyi just watched Fu Qinglian eat quietly without speaking, she wished that time would stand still like this, so that she could enjoy this tranquility alone.
I don't know how long it took, Fu Qinglian lowered his head and asked, "Does the princess have something to ask?" ”
Meng Hongyi suddenly came back to his senses, "Nothing can escape the eyes of the prince." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"The concubine is thinking about it, and wants to take a few concubines for the prince to take care of the prince, if you don't like it, it's good to take it as a personal maid, what does the prince think?"
Fu Qinglian looked at her and was silent.
Meng Hongyi continued: "I think that Hua Shenyue is good. ”
"Don't you dislike her?" Fu Qinglian asked.
"But she saved the life of the prince, the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, and the prince is also the heaven of the concubine." Meng Hongyi's words were sincere, and people had to believe it.
Fu Qinglian watched Meng Hongyi's performance, just to test whether he was in love with Hua Shenyue.
Who can you hide from such a little trick?
Fu Qinglian continued to bow his head and began to drink, and after that, he spoke: "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future." ”
"As for Hua Shenyue, the princess is afraid that she has forgotten that she is an old woman. Does the princess want me to be ridiculed by the world for my unscrupulous means for women, even the women of her own subordinates? ”
As soon as these words came out, a trace of panic flashed in Meng Hongyi's eyes, and he quickly knelt down, "The concubine is not." ”
"I know you won't, come and have a taste." Fu Qinglian picked up Meng Hongyi and fed her a mouthful of longan lotus seed soup.
The two of them had a great time.
Fu Qinglian has a beautiful woman in his arms, and his life is leisurely, in contrast, Fu Beixing is not so lucky, he is buried in the fold pile all day long to deal with affairs, which can be described as tiring.
"Xiao Yinzi, I really want to summon King Jing into the palace." After dealing with a bunch of twists and turns, Fu Beixing began to sit in a daze.
He really doesn't know how to deal with these things, and most of them have to be assisted by the king, but this is his responsibility, how can he always rely on others.
"Otherwise, I will secretly go out of the palace to find him."
Hearing this, Xiao Yinzi was shocked and hurriedly stopped it, for fear that Fu Beixing would never come back again.
"The emperor thinks twice, you are the emperor, how can you be so capricious." Xiao Yinzi didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"But I'm worried." Fu Beixing muttered in a low voice.
Since Fu Qinglian came back last time, Fu Beixing has not had the opportunity to see him in private, let alone care about Fu Qinglian's body.
"The emperor is not in a hurry, at the family banquet, the emperor can talk to His Royal Highness King Jing for as long as he wants." Xiao Yinzi comforted.
……
Soon it will be the day of the feast. On this day, Hua Shenyue got up early and simply combed herself with makeup. She didn't have too much decoration, just simply used a white hosta to coil her hair.
She looked at what had been hidden under the cupboard and put it back in disgust.
If she used these things, I was afraid that if it wasn't for the banquet, it would cause some kind of trouble, and she couldn't make trouble for Fu Qingqing.
She waited outside the mansion early, waiting for Fu Qinglian and Meng Hongyi to come out.
When Fu Qinglian came out, Hua Shenyue was really surprised.
"See Lord and Princess." The crowd knelt down and saluted.
Today's Fu Qinglian is still dressed in white, but it is a little different from the past. This pair is made of fine brocade, and the cuffs are finely embroidered with a pair of lifelike geese.
Wild goose! Flower Shenyue's favorite bird. She once said to Fu Qinglian that geese are loyal birds, and she likes them very much.
Unexpectedly, he actually remembered that Hua Shenyue's heart got a trace of comfort.
And Meng Hongyi beside him is also dressed up today, and she is even more beautiful in a water blue skirt, and she is standing with Fu Qinglian today, she is really a heavenly beauty.
Meng Hongyi looked at Hua Shenyue, she was wearing a maid's dress today, and there was nothing on her head except a white hosta.
Even so, it can't hide the pure and dusty temperament on her body at all.
