Chapter 588: Meeting (1)
Princess Kangning looked guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't discuss with you, so I agreed to the imperial sister." ”
Zhu Qijue stretched out his hand, took Princess Kangning into his arms, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's not a big deal. The family affair is decided, the marriage date is also decided, and it does not hurt for the unmarried couple to meet each other. Last year's Shangyuan Festival, I was bold enough to enjoy the lanterns with you for one night, and my father and queen mother did not blame me. ”
Princess Shouning's headache has been cured. But no one knows if she will be stimulated by something and suddenly become ill or something.
If there is a mess in Princess Kangning's mansion, both husband and wife will be scolded and hung up.
Princess Kangning is not stupid, she naturally knows the risks, and sighed softly: "Actually, I think the imperial sister is also pitiful." ”
"In that year, the Tatar prince entered Beijing, and his father ordered the imperial sister and the Tatar prince to be pro-Tatar. The imperial sister had a deep affection for Yuan Silan, and she never thought that the Tatars would raise troops and invade the border pass. The father was murderous to Yuan Silan. ”
Yuan Silan died happily, but the imperial sister was stimulated by the news of his death to the point of insanity. The way she looked when she had a headache scared me. ”
"It's also a good thing that the royal sister has forgotten everything before. Otherwise, she simply wouldn't have survived. ”
"I've been letting her everywhere since I was a child, and it's common to be bullied by her. But the way she is now, I only have pity and sympathy for her, and I can't bear to blame her. ”
"You're just too kind." Zhu Qijue smiled and kissed Princess Kangning.
Princess Kangning's little face turned red.
It was freezing cold, and the young couple went back to the bedroom hand in hand.
……
From the third day of the new year, the princes and princesses who have opened the mansion take turns to hold banquets.
The third day of the new year is in the mansion of the eldest prince, and the fourth day of the first month is the turn of the second prince, Princess Kangning is young, and she is behind the fourth prince and the fifth prince, so she set up a small banquet on the seventh day of the new year.
It was too eye-catching to invite Pei Jue alone, so Zhu Qijue simply invited all his friends. During the New Year, the Imperial Guards can take turns on vacation. Zhu Qijue set up a banquet to invite him, and everyone happily agreed.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Jinrong also came to Princess Kangning's Mansion with He Qi.
Jiang Yao, Ye Lingyun, and Zheng Qinghuai also came with their wives.
The princes each married the noble concubines, and they could tell each other some in-laws. Moreover, everyone also has the opportunity to meet each other from time to time in the palace, and they are also familiar with it.
The second prince sneered in his heart, and He Qi and Jiang Yao each slashed the second prince with a thousand knives in their hearts, but their faces were full of harmony.
The sixth prince also came today, and his eyes swept to Pei Jue, who was a little restrained, and he knew what was going on. He took the initiative to step forward and greeted Pei Jue: "I didn't expect Cousin Pei Jue to come today." ”
Pei Jue secretly cheered himself up in his heart.
In any case, he received the holy decree and is the future colt. In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also have to call him brother-in-law.
Pei Jue settled his mind and bowed: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The sixth prince smiled: "Cousin doesn't have to be stubborn, just be casual." Later, I will have a feast, and my cousin will sit next to me. ”
The dignified prince of Chu, why do you want to be so close to you, a concubine of the Pei family? It's not because you're going to be a colt! Pei Jue, don't be afraid. Later, I will see Princess Shouning, and I can't be weak.
Pei Jue responded with a smile, and silently cheered himself up in his heart.
……
On the side of the women's dependents, it is also quite lively.
Princess Kangning accompanied the difficult Princess Shouning, the eldest princess and the fourth princess and the fifth princess gossiped, and several princes and concubines automatically and spontaneously got together.
Cheng Jinrong and Zhu Qixuan are most familiar with each other, sitting in one place and laughing in a low voice.
Zhu Qixuan looked at Cheng Jinrong's stomach and was envious: "My cousin-in-law is pregnant, and she has to work as an errand in the palace, which is really hard." ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "I'm used to it, but I don't feel hard." Then, he joked with a smile: "You have only been married for a few months, are you in a hurry to get pregnant?" ”
Zhu Qixuan didn't feel embarrassed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not in a hurry." It's my mother-in-law who is so anxious that she asks me once a month. When I heard that my menstrual period was coming, I was more disappointed than me. ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled dumbly.
Zhou and Pei Xiu sat together and gossiped. Pei Xiu was absent-minded and glanced at Pei Ying from time to time.
In the past, when she was not out of the cabinet, Pei Xiu often bullied this sister. Now that she is married, her sister has also become the second prince's side concubine.
In terms of identity, Pei Ying is a step above her. But instead of envy and hatred, she felt pity.
The second princess was a personal maid, and was abused to death by the second prince~ The second princess was disheartened and invited herself to Ciyun Nunnery, but she didn't want to come back at all.
Pei Ying's days in the Second Prince's Mansion can also be imagined.
There were several charcoal basins burning in the house, and everyone took off their heavy cloaks and wore light silk jackets and long skirts. Pei Ying's clothes have a high neckline, longer sleeves, and her neck and wrists are tightly covered. A thick layer of fat powder was applied to the face. This can't hide the gloomy complexion.
That delicate face is also very thin.
Pei Ying seemed to be aware of Pei Xiu's gaze, and pulled the corners of her mouth at Pei Xiu.
In the smile, there is no joy, only numbness and resignation.
……
Everyone has their own thoughts, and although the dishes of the banquet are delicious, no one tastes them with their hearts.
After the banquet, as usual, I watched the play.
The play just began, and Princess Kangning excused herself to change her clothes and left with Princess Shouning.
Zhu Qixuan leaned into Cheng Jinrong's ear and whispered: "Princess Shouning has gone to see the future concubine." ”
Cheng Jinrong chuckled lightly and lowered his voice: "Everyone knows what's going on in their hearts, just pretend not to know." Don't talk too much, just watch the show. ”
This sentence is definitely a pun.
Zhu Qixuan blinked and laughed.
Pei Xiu finally had the opportunity to talk to Pei Ying.
She took the initiative to sit beside Pei Ying and shouted softly, "Fourth sister." How are you doing? ”
Pei Ying's body trembled slightly, and a layer of heat appeared in her eyes. However, she quickly forced the heat back, and smiled at Pei Xiu: "Your Highness is very good to me. ”
Pei Xiu held Pei Ying's hand.
Pei Ying's hand trembled, and the cuffs slid down, revealing a small part of her wrist. There was a horrific bruise on his wrist.
Pei Xiu's heart tightened.
Pei Ying hurriedly withdrew her hand, and the wide cuffs covered her wrists. She was afraid that Pei Xiu would ask, so she hurriedly smiled: "Fifth sister, today's play is very good-looking. Let's go to the show! ”
Pei Xiu now knows how to restrain and forbear, although she is sad and angry in her heart, she doesn't say anything more. just quietly reached out and held Pei Ying's hand again. seems to use such an act to comfort the poor sister-in-law.
Pei Ying's eyes were slightly hot.
The two sisters used to have an indifferent relationship, but now they are married, but they pity each other.
At this time, Princess Shouning pushed open a door.
Inside the door, there was a young man in brocade clothes.
