Lu Yunyao remembered the strange behavior of the prince, and he didn't know how to return to Qingyun, so he shook his head.

Qingyun immediately became nervous, "How could it be, is Your Highness still angry?" ”

"I don't know, His Royal Highness seems to have something on his mind and sent me out."

Qingyun thought, isn't the prince's mind just the business of the two of you, seeing that Lu Yunyao also looked puzzled, as if she really didn't see it, Qingyun said politely: "Then the subordinate will send Miss Lu back first." ”

"No need, you take care of the prince first, I'll go back by myself."

Lu Yunyao politely rejected Qingyun and walked back on her own.

didn't wait for Lu Yunyao to figure out what was going on, and within a few days, His Royal Highness the Prince had the same attitude towards her as usual, but Lu Yunyao always felt that something was not quite right.

Shizi seemed to be a little cold to her, but he still took her with him.

I don't know if she feels that something is wrong, but she can always feel that there is a burning eye staring at her, and she can't find outsiders.

Lu Yunyao could only comfort herself, maybe she had come to Kwai Shui in the past few days, and she was not very comfortable.

There is no major event on the Shizi's side, but Aunt Yan's side is busy, and Lu Yunyao doesn't need to inquire to know that the old lady's birthday banquet is coming.

The beginning of October is the old lady's 60th birthday.

At the beginning of September, the major magnates in the capital received an invitation from the Pingxi Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion was also prepared.

The old lady may have tried to test Qiao's, although the power of housekeeping was still in the hands of Tao's, she handed over the responsibility of organizing her birthday banquet to Qiao's.

Although Qiao's family knew such a big thing, the old lady and the Hou Ye would definitely not let a concubine be busy in and out, but with Tao's Zhuyu in front, she was still very worried.

Until the old lady told her in person, Qiao almost cried with joy, and packed the ticket and said: "Master Hou and the old lady can rest assured, the concubine has learned from the pain and will definitely hold this birthday banquet beautifully." ”

The old lady is there, "Well, it's good to be careful, but the Great Jin Dynasty has been plagued by disasters in the past two years, and Yebei is eyeing each other, and the emperor and queen are advocating economy and simplicity, and our Hou Mansion naturally has to go up and down, and the birthday banquet has that meaning, and there is no need to make a big deal." ”

Pingxi Hou had a different opinion, "It's just the side, but my mother's 60th birthday should not be neglected, otherwise it will not make outsiders look down on my Pingxi Hou Mansion." ”

The old lady persuaded and persuaded, but Pingxihou insisted.

The old lady knew that he was filial, and finally nodded in agreement, Pingxi Hou showed a smile on his face, Qiao's smile was like a flower, but in fact, his heart was dripping blood.

The old lady and the Pingxi Hou are not at home, naturally they don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, the Pingxi Hou Mansion is lonely year by year, and the Hou Ye himself is only in the military department, and he has no oil and water at all.

If the whole family only relied on the official position and title, they would not be able to support the huge marquis mansion for a long time.

The current Pingxi Hou Mansion only relied on the reward of Pingxi Hou and the dowry of the first wife Yu to make a profit, which was barely enough to cover the expenses.

In the early years, when Pingxi Hou just returned to Beijing from the battlefield, the natural scenery was infinite, and the rewards were like flowing water.

Now, it's just a better down-and-out nobleman, a real family of magnates, such as the previous An family, the red man in front of the emperor, if it weren't for the Pingxi Marquis Mansion to support him, he would definitely not look down on such a family.

How much does a big birthday banquet cost, it's all Qiao's money.

Although the feed is in the hands of the Tao family, she is the mistress of the Hou Mansion in the end, and it is a certainty that she is in charge of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye's money is her money, and Qiao's is naturally distressed.

What does the Hou Ye think, she doesn't know this wife, but she wants to use this birthday banquet to tell the people in the capital that the Pingxi Hou Mansion is still here.

In the previous flower-viewing banquet, the Hou Mansion lost a lot of people because of the second son's matter, and this time it was also whitewashed.

When it comes to his son, Qiao Shi is reluctant, so he can only grit his teeth and respond.

It's just that she didn't expect that the always submissive Tao was afraid that she would be raised by power, and there would be a day when Yang Feng and Yin were violated, and she agreed to it on her face, but she did everything against her, obviously not wanting her to hold a birthday banquet.

Tao was picked up by Qiao's hand, and she has always been treated as a slave, coming and going as soon as she is called, if it weren't for Tao's well-behaved and obedient, she wouldn't let her give birth to a daughter.

This time, Dow changed from his previous weakness and secretly fought with her for power, and Qiao's also lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

She cried and complained to Pingxihou, but Pingxihou was impatient, and when she heard her say how Tao was, Pingxihou said: "Isn't it that you have to raise her as an aunt?" ”

Qiao's cry froze.

Pingxi Hou actually doesn't pay attention to the affairs of men and women, in the past, there was only one wife of the Yu family, and the backyard was empty, as for the Qiao family, the old lady was dissatisfied with her son's refusal to accept concubines, and the main wife did not give birth to children, so she forced him to accept it.

Unexpectedly, Qiao's entered the door, but Yu's was pregnant with a child first, Pingxihou had no feelings for Qiao's, but he was his distant cousin, he had a little pity, and he loved his wife even more, so he immediately took care of Yu's.

Yu's was pregnant, and he couldn't serve Pingxihou, after a drink, Pingxihou was confused and had sex with Qiao's, and it was this time that Qiao's was also pregnant.

Because of Qiao's incident, although the Yu family didn't say anything on his face, he was depressed, resulting in the birth of a child who also died in one life, although he survived, he fell into the root of the disease, and died of illness when the son was not big.

Pingxi Hou is actually a person who loves the old, after Yu's death, he has no intention of remarrying, although the old lady does not agree, he will also give birth to his own child Qiao's Fuzheng.

I didn't want to take another concubine, but after Qiao's was pregnant with her second daughter, she said that as a main family, she couldn't be jealous, and she couldn't serve Hou Ye, so she had to carry an aunt to serve him, and pointed to the maid next to her, which is now Tao's.

Pingxihou actually has a grudge against his wife.

That was when she had to let him take a concubine, and Pingxihou was also angry, but fortunately for Tao, Tao gave birth to a second daughter, and he also felt a little pity for Tao.

Now seeing Qiao's regrets, Pingxi Hou sneered, made Qiao's angry, and wanted to drive Tao out, scolding her all day long for being shameless, seducing Hou Ye, and lifting her aunt is already a great gift, and now she wants to climb on her head.

Although she was careless in front of Pingxi Hou, she couldn't help but complain about Tao's words.

Pingxihou heard that his ears were calloused, and he went to Tao's side to rest, and he made Qiao's angry again.

Lord Hou and his wife have been in love for many years, but now there are contradictions, and many people are watching jokes.

Lu Yunyao's grounding was finally lifted by the prince, and when she talked to Aunt Yan, she inevitably heard this, Aunt Yan had been in the Hou Mansion for many years, and her emotional entanglements between Hou Ye and Mrs. Xian, and Mrs. and Tao's family were simply clear.

After listening to the gossip, Lu Yunyao shook her head and returned to Yuhua Courtyard, still sighing.
