Episode 031: Feast (Part I)

Yan Guiwan sat on the square chair, touched his forehead with his hand, and wiped his eyebrows, "When His Highness wakes up, you can help him dress up and see if it's okay." ”

"The original little and Tong Sheng are still worried about His Highness's clothes tonight, and they never thought that the evening lord had already prepared them." Autumn students welcome the road.

Yan Guiwan chuckled and raised his hand to signal them to retreat first. There was no one in the cabinet, and she was leaning on a rosewood chaise longue and taking a nap, and after about a quarter of an hour, she felt that there was a small quilt on her body. She opened her eyes in a trance, only to see that the Nine Spirits were already surrounding her.

"Look at me, I was afraid that the Lord would catch a cold at night, but I woke you up." Jiu Ling blamed himself.

Yan Guiwan stretched and said, "The birthday ceremony is ready so soon?" ”

Jiu Ling opened a list and presented it to the master, "Evening master, you have taken a look, this is the gift list written by Mr. Wang, the bookkeeper." ”

Yan Guiwan took it in his hand and looked at it, and asked, "Where did this golden Maitreya Buddha statue come from?" ”

Jiu Ling smiled arrogantly and said: "I don't know the lord in the evening, the little ones are working in the account room, and the official in the upper courtyard walked in and invited this treasure out for us, saying that it was prepared by the master mother in advance, and asked us to take it away." ”

It turned out that the housemother had already prepared, and Yan Guiwan admired her even more. The golden Buddha statue was more valuable than anything she had prepared.

On weekdays, she treasures some things with her thoughts, and she is still a little proud in her heart, thinking that she has already made a plan. Compared with the main mother, it can only be said that it is a small thing.

Yan Guiwan took the gift list and looked down, "Then who prepared this ball of Baishou peaches?" ”

"It's our husband! Chunsheng's little guy just brought someone to move over, and said that our husband and grandfather were looking for a restaurant outside three days ago. Jiu Ling smiled even more arrogantly.

Yan Guiwan realized that even if she was married on an errand, she was still a yellow-haired girl, and compared to her mother and Xu Moqing, she was still too immature.

Xu Moqing heard Jiu Ling mention himself in the bedroom, and asked with a smile through the door, "Lingguan'er is talking about me outside, isn't it?" I'm really listening to it in the room. ”

Jiu Ling shook his body and said inside: "Master Lang, have you woken up?" The little one doesn't dare to say that you're not, but the little one says you're good in front of the evening lord! ”

Tong Sheng Qiusheng heard the sound and hurriedly jumped from the ear room into the bedroom to serve. Yan Guiwan also stood up and ordered: "Jiu Ling, Shen Shimo went to Gan Tang Xuan and Guan Ju Pavilion to ask the two little masters to come out. Go to the West Corner Gate to prepare a small sedan chair for Ze'er, lead a strong horse for Lan'er, and set a carriage for His Highness and me. ”

"No."

"In the evening, you and Jiuying will go with me, and order September and Jiuyang to stay in the Taoyao Pavilion to watch the courtyard."

"No."

"How many cars are there for the congratulatory gift?"

"Three cars in total."

"Go find a few little maids with good hands and feet."

"The subordinate obeys."

After Yan Guiwan finished speaking, he walked into the bedroom, but saw that the three masters and servants were a little flustered. The makeup was covered with rouge gouache, and the door to the closet was opened, and the clothes were scattered inside. On the table, the set of clothes that September had brought was flattened.

"Husband, you...... Don't like this straight fit? If you don't like it, throw it aside, and blame me for not asking your preferences earlier. Yan Guiwan sighed deeply.

Xu Moqing didn't say anything, just looked at her with deep meaning.

Qiusheng said quickly: "My lord, you know that His Royal Highness has never been good at men's clothes, and he was forced to do things in a hurry because he had no choice but to get married. Today's day is grand, Your Highness is afraid that you will be embarrassed outside, so we are looking for clothes in the closet, trying to find a suitable men's clothes, neither want to embarrass your wife, nor do you want Your Highness to feel too aggrieved. ”

Tong Sheng held the light silver-gray straight embellishment in his hand, "Night Lord, did you send this 'women's dress' to the princess's mansion for your husband to wear?" ”

Yan Guiwan walked behind Xu Moqing and looked at him in the bronze mirror, "Husband, your true colors are very good." You don't have to cater to anyone's preferences. Within the Yan Mansion, you can do whatever you want; Outside of Yanfu, I will try my best to protect you. ”

The words fell, causing both Qiusheng Tongsheng to shed tears, and Xu Moqing also seemed a little short of breath.

Yan Guiwan did this, one is to thank Xu Moqing for taking on a bad reputation for Yan Zeyin's injury; Second, she also wants to envelop Xu Moqing's heart, only if he listens to him, can he persuade him not to have an heir with him for the time being.

As for being pointed at by outsiders, whether it is Yanmen or His Royal Highness the Nine, haven't you long been accustomed to it?

Towards the end of the Shen hour, the people of each room came to the West Corner Gate as promised, performed their duties, and set off in a sedan chair. A group of cars, horses, and people left the Yan family and went straight to the third princess's mansion.

One moment it was dusk, and the next it was dark. Nine spirits and nine warblers alternately came to the carriage to report the situation.

Xu Moqing sat in the carriage and asked, "Is the wife worried about the gift?" ”

Yan Guiwan closed the curtain, "Although we are in Dongliang Kyoto, we should not take it lightly. The car behind is full of treasures, and if you put it in ordinary people's homes, you won't be able to use it up for ten or eight years. ”

"Jiuying's martial arts are strong, and the two little guys around me also have some means, Lan'er and you are also martial arts practitioners, what are you afraid of? It's good for the wife to be strict, but I just feel that your whole body is tense, and you are only seventeen years old but you have long since lost your life. ”

"Rotten?"

"Ze'er is two years younger than you, Lan'er is only one year younger than you, they are still full of childishness, what about you?"

Yan Guiwan approached Xu Moqing and grabbed his chin with his hand, "What about you, Moqing?" Why don't you wear a mask? She leaned closer, "Last night the Empress summoned me late at night and told me to go with you today for the birthday of the third princess, I don't know if Your Majesty cares about you or the third princess." ”

Xu Moqing brushed her fingers away, "What the mother emperor cares about is the third princess." ”

Yan Guiwan knocked him back to his original form with a word, and the momentum that Xu Moqing had just lectured her was gone.

People are always like this, talking about the truth eloquently, persuading others as if they understand everything, but when it comes to themselves, they can't understand anything.

The Yan family's team advanced majestically, and Yan Guilan came to the carriage in the first formation, "Eldest sister, brother-in-law, you will arrive at the princess's mansion after the intersection in front." ”

Yan Guiwan opened the curtain and looked ahead, and the stars were crowded with people at night.

"Eldest sister, look at those who carry the burden of birthday, there must be a bunch of princes and eunuchs tonight, right?" Yan Guilan leaned over and asked.

Suddenly, I heard Xu Moqing in the carriage speak, "Lan'er, today's princess's mansion is a family banquet, and there won't be too many foreign ministers, I'm afraid there is no grand scene you want to see." ”

"It doesn't matter if he's grand, I'll be happy when I come, little girl!" Yan Guilan kicked the horse with both legs and rushed to the front again.

Oh, Yan Guiwan and his entourage arrived at the head of the princess's mansion. Someone from the princess's mansion had already come to answer, and the maids of the Yan family and the maids of the family carried the congratulatory gifts one by one. Qiusheng stood on the side and counted the objects, and Tong Sheng followed up with the house to place the place, and waited for the handover with the head of the steward to be careful before the matter was resolved. Jiuying stood at the door here, and the maids of the differential pressure car drove back to Yan's house with the empty car, and arranged their own sedan chariots and carriages with their own families.

Besides, Xu Moqing entered the princess's mansion with the three sisters and brothers of the Yan family, and the female official first led them through a few doors and turned a few corners, all of which were carved beams and paintings, splendid bushes, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, the lights were like flowers, and the drums were noisy. If the courtyard of the Yan family is very large, then the courtyard of the three princesses can be the size of four or five Yan families.

Yan Guilan and Yan Zeyin followed behind their eldest brother-in-law, and saw that they were constantly saluting and answering salutes with each other. Where can the two of them remember such people, they can only greet people with the desperate smile of the eldest brother-in-law.

finally entered the high hall, but saw the third princess's concubine Li serving everyone here.

Xu Moqing leaned forward and said to him, "Brother-in-law." ”

"The Ninth Highness came down early, and the third princess is still on the way back. The female official came to report twice, and it was about half an hour before she could come home. ”

Yan Guiwan and his younger siblings also bowed to him, "Princess." ”

"Yan Concubine, hurry up and be exempt." As she spoke, the princess motioned for their siblings to get up.

"Your Royal Highness the Nine, it's still early, you can invite Yan and the horse to go around the house, and if you go to the hall over there to take a seat."

"In this case, I walked with my wife in the courtyard of the third sister."

"Your Highness the Nine, please."

Xu Moqing turned around and led the Yan family sisters and brothers into the courtyard. Yan Guilan said curiously: "The main concubine just now was dressed like a fairy, and she looked like she was the same age as Ze'er!" I thought that the third princess was the age of the main mother, but now I really don't dare to guess. ”

"The third princess is a few years older than her little aunt, and her husband is the same age as her, but they already have a son and a daughter."

Yan Guilan looked surprised, "Are all the royal men so well maintained?" I didn't see it at all. ”

Yan Zeyin snorted in his mouth, "Look at your appearance that you haven't seen the world!" But brother-in-law, where did the princess say just now that the third princess went and hasn't come back yet? ”

"This afternoon, the third princess and all the sisters and brothers went to the palace. On the birthday of the third sister, the mother emperor naturally wanted to celebrate with her. Xu Moqing said naturally.

"Then why didn't my brother-in-law go? Brother-in-law is the Nine Emperors! Yan Zeyin asked.

Yan Guiwan hurriedly reprimanded his brother, "Ze'er, don't talk nonsense." She looked at Xu Moqing, "Husband, it's the first time I've come to this huge courtyard, and I hope that Husband Lang will take us around." ”

Xu Moqing glanced at Yan Guiwan and said with a smile: "I excused myself." I was supposed to take advantage of this time to visit my father and concubine, but I thought that it wouldn't be long before I returned to Luan, and I would enter the palace again......"

Yan Guiwan immediately raised her hand and motioned him to stop talking, she already understood his intentions. He was afraid that the Yang family and her would be ridiculed again, and he was also afraid that he would have trouble with his mother emperor again. The last time he came back from the palace, it took him so long and he still hadn't calmed his mind.

She suddenly understood why the empress summoned her last night, she knew in advance that Xu Moqing would not enter the palace, so she gently pushed her to the princess's mansion. Xu Moqing only made friends with the third princess in private, thinking that she would let them move around more, and she couldn't become separated because he married his wife's family.

Yan Guiwan faintly sensed the empress's affection for Xu Moqing, so would Xu Moqing feel the same way? She wasn't sure if she was right, but the empress's phrase "the coming days are long" suddenly lingered in her ears.

So is Xu Moqing an outcast?
