Chapter 601: Who's Watching Whom?
As the prime minister of the current dynasty, the Yue Mansion is now worthy of the name of the white exchange, but the two princes came together, one of them is still the only prince of the current emperor, plus there has been a prince of Jiawang who has just come to a low profile, this is still a very rare situation.
In this regard, the two wives of the Qin family, who were invited to come over today, all smacked their tongues, secretly glad that they came happily, and brought their daughter-in-law to support the scene. As for others, they are also a little embarrassed by this grand occasion.
Needless to say, the eldest lady personally came forward early to invite her two younger siblings over. Although the second wife, Yan, is not a native of Jinling, she also posted to her close relatives and invited them to come over to cheer.
Now the two of them saw Yue Qianqiu and went out, and then saw that Princess Ping'an said that she was embarrassed to say that she was too shocked to the eldest princess of Dongyang, but her face was clearly very calm, and the eldest lady just sighed in her heart that it was a golden branch and jade leaf, and she was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, and the second wife's feelings were very different.
She is no better than the third wife who can only shake her face, and she has already sent someone to secretly inquire about the life experience of the fourth brother and sister, but she only feels that the so-called daughter of a hermit in the mountains and forests is really a little wrong. Not to mention anything else, after getting along these days, she only feels that the other party has good manners and elegant manners, and is definitely nurtured in a big family.
As far as she knows, there have been rumors outside that Yue Xiaosi abducted which daughter eloped, and until now the woman's family is looking for her daughter who has been missing for many years and the hateful abductor, so the old lady Yue admitted that her daughter-in-law was just to prevent the woman from coming to the door, and it was confirmed that the old lady Yue, the godson of the father, had no way. Even she had heard that Mrs. Yue's political enemies had gone to various government offices to inquire about the reported cases of missing persons.
The second wife didn't think about it at all, according to the urine nature of some big families on the side of Dawu, if the female dependents were really abducted, nine times out of ten they would be afraid of losing face and report their illness directly. She only cared about secretly complaining that the treacherous little uncle didn't do good things, and her father-in-law blindly indulged him, and even this daughter-in-law who didn't abide by women's morals was also sheltered.
It's just that even the emperor loves the house and Wu, so he gives people face, and this preference is not even biased towards his husband!
The two wives of the Qin family were thinking about whether to hurry up and invite their sister-in-law back, but at this moment, they only heard a cough outside, followed by one hand, and the curtain of the door was opened, and then the third wife with a smile on her face entered the house.
She just left under the pretext of being a little unhappy, and now her face seems to have a new layer of fat powder, and she looks radiant, how can she have the same cowardly appearance before?
"I was a little uncomfortable just now, but after I went back, I took a pill with water, and it was finally better."
The third lady tried her best to show the most decent smile, and apologized again, when her eyes fell on Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, she squirmed her lips, and she had the heart to apologize just now that she didn't know Taishan, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't pull her face down, and finally swallowed back the apology that had been stacked for a long time, and just smiled unnaturally.
When she heard Princess Ping'an say two kind words of concern to her, she felt a little more comfortable. No matter what, she is always the other party's sister-in-law, no matter how partial the old lady is, she can't go beyond the eldest and youngest!
And the eldest princess of Dongyang had already sent Sang Zi out, and asked her to bring Zhou Jiyue and Xiao Jingjing and a few girls in first. At this time, she perfunctorily flattered and flattered everyone, but one hand was carelessly placed on Princess Ping'an's hand, as if it was a comfort, as if a reminder. After all, even if it was her, she didn't expect Xiao Jingxian to come over.
If Princess Ping'an was really recognized by Xiao Jingxian, what would the guy who had never taken the usual path do at that time?
And Yue Qianqiu, who followed the little fat man and Xiao Jingxian at the gate, was much more straightforward. As soon as they met, he said angrily: "Your uncle and nephew are really inseparable, aren't they?" Do you have to drag one by one when you go to my house? ”
Where did the little fat man know the entanglement in Yue Qianqiu's heart, and behaved justifiably: "King Jin happened to meet me at my father's place, and when I heard me say that he wanted to come to see your mother, he said that he was also very interested and wanted to come and have a look." Although my father joked that King Jin's curiosity was like a woman, I said that everyone has curiosity, in fact, I was also quite interested, since my father didn't say no, then of course I would take King Jin to take a look. Why, do you dare not welcome it? ”
"Welcome, of course welcome! You two princes are here, and our Yue Mansion is shining, okay? ”
Dare to be affectionate is a bad thing done by you little fool, if you are not afraid of being too deliberate and let Xiao Jing notice it first, the emperor will definitely call you back and scold you halfway!
Yue Qianqiu was crazy about slander, but after glancing at Xiao Jingxian, he was too lazy to be verbose, so as not to speak too much and arouse the suspicion of the other party. He turned around and led the way in front, but he only heard Xiao Jing, who had just been pretending to be dumb behind him, open his mouth and ask the little fat man: "King Ying, you and that Fourth Master Yue shouldn't have seen each other, right?" In that case, how can you be curious to come and join in such a big fun? ”
"Who made that Fourth Master Yue the titular father of Yue Qianqiu?" The little fat man accentuated the tone of the three words "nominal", and when he saw that Xiao Jingxian couldn't help but laugh, he said with a smile, "Besides, the woman who can make Yue Qianqiu call her mother is sacred, I also want to take a good look." Who knows what kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd! ”
Xiao Jing saw that Yue Qianqiu's body seemed to be a little stiff when he was walking in front of him, so he asked angrily: "According to this, if Qianqiu ignores people after they enter the door, and even sets people up three times and twice, and harms people badly, aren't you curious?" ”
"Of course, a woman who doesn't have the ability to impress Yue Qianqiu, what's so good?"
Yue Qianqiu was almost by the little fat man. I regret that I didn't tell the emperor earlier, and tell the little fat man some things selectively, so that this kid will not succeed enough and lose more than anything. However, thinking that the little fat man sometimes doesn't have such a tight mouth, and his acting level is still a little worse, he finally said without looking back: "When you look back and see someone, be honest, the eldest princess is also there!" ”
The little fat man was suddenly awe-inspiring. He claims to be not afraid of heaven and earth, but after all, there are still a few people who are afraid. Among them, the old lady of the Yue family is naturally stunned, not to mention the eldest princess of Dongyang, even Yue Qianqiu's ability to dig pits and bury people, he has learned a lot, and naturally he doesn't dare to really mess with people.
Therefore, when he heard Yue Qianqiu's words, he snorted from his nose to express his disdain, but his attitude was much more correct.
And after warning the little fat man, Yue Qianqiu turned his head and said to Xiao Jingxian: "I just reported that Xiao Jingjing has also come to live with me, she doesn't know the relationship between her mother and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please be careful when you speak......"
"Why, you still want to say in front of me that she stabbed her throat and committed suicide?" Xiao Jingxian smiled and said casually, "There are so many people in the Red Moon Palace with your trick, and rumors are spreading outside, but the most critical Red Moon Palace Lord Xiao Qingqing has not even shown his shadow at all, is it considered a mistake in the auxiliary car?" ”
"You care about me?" Yue Qianqiu sneered unceremoniously, "Xiao Jingjing is a little girl who doesn't know the world, don't think about kidnapping her like a cunning fox, she is now popular among those people in the Wuying Pavilion!" ”
Xiao Jing turned around again when he saw Yue Qianqiu say this, he gently pressed the shoulder of the little fat man on the side, and said with a smile: "If that little girl is as beautiful as her mother, then she is a stunning beauty, no wonder she can make people's minds move after only a few days in the Wuying Pavilion." If you like it when you see it when you look back, you have to start quickly and mention it to the emperor quickly. ”
The little fat man had seen Xiao Qingqing before, although people had put away their natural charm at that time, in his eyes, he was still a beautiful woman. As for the scene when Xiao Qingqing showed his true face in front of the Wuying Pavilion, and countless people were upside down and drunk, he had also heard about it. So being ridiculed by Xiao Jingxian at this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, for fear that there would be some twists and turns when he turned back.
And what surprised him even more was that Yue Qianqiu, who was in front of him, suddenly added: "By the way, Cheng Qianqian is also here." ”
At this moment, the little fat man finally had the urge to turn around and leave. It's certainly fun to watch the cheap old lady who is more and more autumnal, but if you become part of the jokes that others watch, it won't be wonderful. He won't forget that his father even half-jokingly and half-seriously pushed Cheng Qianqian to Xiao Jingxian.
And when Xiao Jing first noticed the little fat man's peeking at him, which was clearly a little subtle, he suddenly stopped. Immediately after, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Although I can make the woman who called Qianqiu a mother a little interested, but since there are many female guests, I, who is still single, will not mix, so I can save any rumors in the future." ”
Speaking of this, he turned around and left without any delay, but waved his hand as he walked: "Go back and remember to tell me what you think of Qianqiu's mother." Also, I want you not to forget the events of my life. ”
Although the little fat man felt a little sorry for Xiao Jingxian, but at this time, he was somehow relieved, and hurriedly agreed without thinking: "Your Royal Highness King Jin, don't worry, I will never forget!" I'll help you plan it with Chiaki! ”
Yue Qianqiu glanced at the relieved little fat man, and suddenly said idly: "Ying Xiaopang, I forgot to tell you that Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, came uninvited." You're going to chase His Royal Highness now, and it's still too late. ”
Pei Xu is no longer in the court now, if you want to say that the little fat man dislikes the most, Li Chongming, a cheap nephew, is definitely ranked first. His face darkened, and then he raised his head and said, "What if he comes, I, who is an uncle, are still afraid of one of his nephews?" With me, he can't even use a moth! ”
Seeing that the little fat man rushed in front of him instead, Yue Qianqiu followed behind unhurriedly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart because of Xiao Jingxian's departure. Thinking about it now, fortunately, the eldest princess of Dongyang invited Cheng Qianqian, and he asked Zhou Jiyue to bring Xiao Jingjing here.
Having said that, after Xiao Qingqing revealed such a big secret before, she disappeared from Liu's mansion, and the authenticity of this secret is really a little doubtful. If it weren't for the emperor's calm breath and obvious no change in his attitude towards the little fat man, Beiyan would really laugh. From this point of view, it is really difficult to judge which side Xiao Qingqing is on.
After such a delay, when he entered the Qingfen Pavilion, Yue Qianqiu had already heard the voices of Zhou Jiyue's girls talking to people inside, obviously one step ahead of them. He thought that the little fat man would really break in first, but when he found that someone stopped at the door of the main room, he turned around and glanced at him slowly, with an expression of disgust that he was too slow, and then he smiled.
Today's little fat man still knows how to avoid suspicion......
He still walked to the door with the pace of the slow man, and deliberately coughed heavily, and then said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, please, although His Royal Highness the King of Jin has slipped away, everyone is waiting to see you." ”
The little fat man was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked Yue Qianqiu. Obviously, I came to see your mother, but now why have I become the one who is being watched? According to his previous temper, he would definitely turn his head and leave like Xiao Jingxian at this time, but thinking that Yue Qianqiu must not be allowed to succeed, he still suppressed the evil fire, and directly pulled the door curtain with great strength and entered.
But when he passed through the bead curtain next to the partition, he found that except for Li Chongming, who he hated, he was indeed full of female dependents, and his scalp was numb. Although there are many concubines in the palace, but because he hated dogs in his early years, he accompanied the emperor alone on the occasion when Yingying and Yanyan gathered, and others would not be okay to show him kindness, even more so after Feng Guifei's death, he just expressed filial piety to an old concubine like Ren Guiyi.
As for the daughter who took the initiative to stick to the position of Princess Ying...... Of course, there are occasional encounters, but he is not the type to go to someone's house casually, so it is the first time he has experienced the occasion of so many young girls.
Moreover, except for Zhou Jiyue and a few others who have seen him, the women who are looking at him at this time, whether it is the little girls who look at him, most of them are curious and evaluative. That kind of look doesn't seem to regard him as a fast son-in-law or a wishful man, but muttering that this is the prince of the dynasty, which looks very interesting.
As a result, the little fat man, who was keenly aware of the difference between these people and other women, couldn't help but be depressed.
And what made him want to cry even more was that the eldest princess of Dongyang personally got up and dragged him over, and when he was sent to the beautiful young woman in the center, who was obviously Yue Qianqiu's cheap mother, she smiled and said, "Haven't you seen it?" This is my famous nephew, and I'll let you see it enough today. Don't be fat, my imperial brother has already asked the imperial doctor, saying that he will be able to smoke strips when he is two years older! ”
This kind of pompous tone like selling livestock made the little fat man so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. However, the next pair of eyes made him stunned. He seemed to have seen the smile in his eyes, but he tried hard to remember but had no impression, and unconsciously, his full of shame and anger eased a lot.
However, when the other party smiled so much that his dimples were exposed, he turned his head a little uncomfortably.
At this time, he saw that the young woman in front of him had already stood up, and after bending his knees slightly, he smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, forgive me, I forgot to salute when I was interrupted by the eldest princess." Don't look at the fact that I just praised people for a thousand years, it is best for parents to treat them as their own children. Qianqiu has always had a big temper, and only a generous person like His Royal Highness can get along well with him. ”
Although the little fat man had heard countless compliments, but at this moment, when he heard Yue Qianqiu's mother praise his generosity, he immediately danced with his eyebrows, and decided to generously forgive the experience of being looked at as a monkey just now.
When he found that a large number of people were busy getting up to salute him, and Zhou Jiyue and those people bowed neatly, he raised his hand with a smile and signaled that he was exempt. But before he could figure out how to answer Princess Ping'an's words, he noticed the strange girl next to Zhou Jiyue.
Just glanced at each other, he saw the other party wrinkled his nose and turned his head sideways, and then smiled and climbed Zhou Jiyue's shoulder and whispered. At this moment, he heard Yue Qianqiu's voice from behind him.
"That is the Young Palace Master of the Red Moon Palace, Xiao Jingjing."
As he spoke, Yue Qianqiu seemed to inadvertently glance at Li Chongming, who was completely ignored at this time, and saw that although he tried his best to appear casual, his eyes still showed a little annoyance. However, he soon lost the excitement of the onlookers.
Because the little fat man who turned his head to look at Princess Ping'an again actually came up with a sentence as if he were a ghost.
"Aunt has won the award, I am good friends with Qianqiu, besides, my aunt and I hit it off at first sight, you don't have to be so polite."
