Chapter 117: The Jade Concubine's Invitation
Lu Yi passed by Wanyan Qilin's side unhurriedly, held Yun Jinxi's hand with his left hand and said, "Don't dare to let the prince worry, the minor injury will be healed soon." Lu came to pick up his wife by the way, but he never thought that he would meet the prince, what a coincidence! ”
"Unfortunately, the king wishes General Lu a speedy recovery, and there will be a period later!"
Yun Jinxi looked at the group of people who left without looking back, and looked up at Lu Yi who was standing beside him, "What are you two doing here?" ”
"I didn't say a word to my husband when I went back to my parents' house, I don't know if I thought you were wronged in the General's Mansion." Lu Yi squeezed Yun Jinxi's hand, his eyes were full of doting.
Yun Jinxi lowered her head weakly, she didn't know the answer she wanted, so she hit her back, "Your injuries are not healed yet and you need to recuperate, I'm just coming back, not leaving." ”
Lu Yi looked at Yun Jinxi for a long time, and finally lost the battle, and said helplessly: "Where will I send someone to talk to me next time, don't let me worry." ”
Yun Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, fortunately, there was no life here. Lu Yi said that he was here to pick up Yun Jinxi and go back, but he really just followed the people and left. Let the subordinates talk to Yun Liangze and Shen Yan, and then get into the carriage and go back to the general's mansion.
After Yun Liangze got the news, he didn't say anything, and asked people to pick up some supplements in the warehouse and send them to Lanyuan.
Two days later, a coffin was carried out from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there were no suona gongs and drums, just a few people dressed in plain clothes, walking a secluded path. On the same day, the old lady of the Yun family got on the ferry boat and embarked on the road back to Liuzhou. Yun Liangze has been a frequent visitor to Orchid Garden since he came out of the study that day. Sometimes I have to go three or four times a day, which is usually unthinkable, and what makes the people of Lanyuan even happier is that Shen Yan's sudden illness is also inexplicably cured.
One day, Yun Jinxi was practicing calligraphy in the study as usual. Her handwriting has improved a lot, if anyone says that it looks like a dog, don't say that Yun Jinxi is not happy, even Xiang'er has to rush up and reason with that person every minute.
"Young lady An, someone in the palace has spread the news, saying that you are invited to the banquet on the birthday of the Jade Concubine Niangniang three days later." The housekeeper sent an invitation, and when Xiang'er took the invitation, she said with admiration: "The slave has never seen such a beautiful invitation." ”
Yun Jinxi glanced up, but it was gorgeous and amazing, the things in the palace were naturally good, but this invitation was too extravagant. The ordinary invitation is just a slightly thicker paper, and some of the more elaborate ones have broken gold leaf on them, and the invitation in Xiang'er's hand in front of him is not only decorated with rice paper specially provided in the palace, but also peony flowers made of gold leaf.
If it was just one peony, there were several on the invitation, each with a different posture, all of which were petals made of gold leaf. Yun Jinxi just thought about the workmanship, and felt that it was cumbersome. It seems that this Jade Concubine is really favored, and even the queen's post is not so exquisite.
Since she joined the General's Mansion, she has often received all kinds of invitations, and she has always been pushed by her for reasons, so that five or six times to send her posts is less.
"Jade Concubine Niangniang......" Yun Jinxi thought about it, and she had never seen a concubine named jade in the palace in her memory.
When Lu Yi came back from the barracks in the evening, Yun Jinxi mentioned the invitation.
"It's understandable that you don't know, Concubine Yu is the favorite concubine of Shengshang Xinna, you have seen it, the little princess of Beiliang." Lu Yi took a pair of chopsticks and bamboo shoots and put them into Yun Jinxi's bowl.
That Beiliang princess, Yun Jinxi suddenly realized that there was indeed a person in her impression who seemed to be called Yuzhu'er, and she was dancing with herself before, "Didn't she come to kiss?" I heard that the saint intended to let her marry several princes, why did she enter the palace again? ”
Lu Yi's eyes were extremely charming under the reflection of the candle flame, and he frowned slightly: "The king's heart is unpredictable, anyway, it is a kiss, and entering the palace is the same for Beiliang." ”
But it was different for Princess Beiliang, Yun Jinxi drank the soup in the bowl and said secretly in her heart, although Emperor Cangliang was properly maintained, it was also two circles older than Princess Beiliang. The person who can be a father turns out to be a father.
Yun Jinxi took a bite of fried meat with bamboo shoots, and a sentence suddenly popped out of his mind, and he subconsciously said, "A pear flower presses a begonia." ”
Lu Yi was drinking soup, he was choked suddenly, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at someone who was eating with relish in his eyes, "Just say this to me, there are ears everywhere when you go out, and the words just now are enough to make your head move." ”
Yun Jinxi sighed, looking at the slightly red look on Lu Yi's face, before he realized what he had just said.
"I see." Yun Jinxi took a bite of the rice, and saw Xiang'er serve another plate of golden and crispy lotus root clips, and her attention was quickly attracted.
Lu Yi watched her eat two pieces in a row, and she was about to start her hand on the plate of lotus roots, so he asked Xiang'er to remove the things.
"The winter lotus root is cold, you ate bamboo shoots again just now, don't eat this again." Yun Jinxi wanted to say a few nice words to Lu Yi and ask him to get the dishes again, but he couldn't say anything about those eyes.
Sometimes she feels that she has found an old mother for herself, if she often whispers in her ear, there was only one Xiang'er at first, then Mama Zhu, and now there is one more Lu Yi. If you rank these three people, Lu Yi's skills should be the first.
But if one day Lu Yi stopped talking about her, Yun Jinxi felt restless.
"Since Concubine Yu has sent an invitation, you can go, bring Xiang'er and Mama Zhu with you." Lu Yi said thoughtfully.
Xiang'er has been following her, and she must have brought it with her when she entered the palace this time, but Lu Yi asked her to take Mama Zhu with her, but Yun Jinxi felt that it was unnecessary, "Mama is not in good health, I know the rules of the palace, so I don't need to let her follow." ”
Seeing Yun Jinxi say this, Lu Yi shook his head and said: "You are simple-minded, everyone in the palace is fine, and I can rest assured that Mama Zhu is with me." And I don't think you need to say it, Mama Zhu will also go with you. ”
Yun Jinxi secretly said that Mama Zhu would not take the initiative to ask to enter the palace, and she didn't want to go to such a grand scene as the last time she went hunting, not to mention that it was just a small banquet. After dinner, Lu Yi asked people to boil ginger soup for Yun Jinxi to drink before going to bed. watched Yun Jinxi finish drinking a big bowl, and then he was relieved to tell her: "I'll go to sleep after reading the official document for a while, don't wait for me." ”
She didn't know if she was busy with things in the barracks, but she could feel that Lu Yi deliberately avoided getting along with her at night in the past few days. It's only been a month since they got married, could it be that Lu Yi is tired of himself? But she doesn't think it's like that, if Lu Yi is really such a person who likes the new and hates the old, he won't be considerate of himself every day.
But what's the problem?
