Chapter 167: Xia Cicada (6)
The winter days in Luoyang are very long, and now it is the end of the year, and it is getting colder and colder.
Today is Princess Yu's birthday, which is not a big deal, but this year is a whole birthday, and there is a lot of movement between the mansions in the next year, and there are just a few tables of feasts, and I invited the neighbors and people who are more familiar with each other.
Yuwangfu and Chai Wangfu, there is no intersection, naturally it is impossible to receive this post of this banquet that does not want to be publicized, but going around and around, the big families in the capital, who does not have several layers of relationships?
So, on this still bright winter day, I was walking slowly to the carriage, and my mother was already waiting for me in front, she hated my slow walking, and turned back and urged, "Go faster, we are late enough." ”
"Just now in the carriage, you also said, let the coachman slow down, let's come out in the back, so as to attract more people's attention." Having said that, I quickened my pace and followed my mother.
"We arrived late so that more people would know that we were coming, but it would be rude to wait for the table to open and then come in." Mother always has so many truths, there are many people here, and I can only obediently follow her and walk into the Yuwang Mansion together.
To say that in this Luoyang City, which palace is the most magnificent? That must be the palace of King Yu in front of him, King Yu is the younger brother of His Majesty today, the second son of Queen Chai, the fourth prince of the first emperor, because the eldest brother was established as the prince first, so the way forward, he chose to support his eldest brother forward, so in addition to the wealth he deserves, it is more His Majesty's reliance and love.
When King Yu himself was young, he was a hot-tempered and open-mouthed person, and it is no wonder that such an identity is somewhat temperamental. Later, after marrying the princess, with the constraints of the princess, it was as if she was a different person.
The princess is from the Mu family in Dian Prefecture, in addition to our Chai Wangfu in the world, which one is a king with a different surname, which has to say that the Mu Wangfu in Dian Prefecture, the Mu family was originally the local Tusi of Dian Prefecture, and was later recruited by Queen Zhang and became a subordinate of the Great Sage, although he is a minister, but he still manages most of the tribes in Dian Prefecture. In short, King Mu is a very powerful prince, and this Lord Mu is much more majestic than me, the Lord of Cheshire.
Walking into the inner hall, as my mother wanted, everyone's eyes were focused on us, I was a little unaccustomed to tearing the robe I had just made, the wide sleeves covered my feet, I usually don't like to wear such clothes, for a while I was really a little constrained.
The mother walked straight to Princess Yu, and the princess received our news first, but when she saw our mother and daughter come in, she was still a little surprised, because she did not send us an invitation, and we were typical uninvited.
In the past, my mother never did such a thing, and sometimes even if there was a post to invite, she would not go.
Mother bent down and saluted, "I have seen Princess Yu"
Princess Yu smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite, the person who comes is a guest, the princess and the county lord sit down quickly." ”
"Princess Rongyu, yesterday because the queen was unwell, the concubine went to visit before entering the palace, and the concubine mentioned that today is your birthday princess, and I have prepared a special gift, and I will send it to you with the concubine." Saying that, Aunt Qi presented a gift, and the gift had two boxes, and the mother pointed to the following "concubine body thought, since I am here to give a congratulatory gift to the princess, I have prepared an original one, which represents the intention of our Chai Wangfu." ”
Princess Yu was a little panicked after hearing this, and immediately got down from the main seat and bowed to her mother.
Mother and the princess came and went politely there, and I was bored listening to it. But I found that Princess Yu had been looking at me, and I lowered my head and smiled shyly.
After I sat down, sitting next to me was a young lady surnamed Xu, I looked sideways, she was also looking at me shallowly, and said in a low voice, "The little girl is the daughter of General Jiang, Xu Yuan'er." ”
I saw that she was a middle-to-upper looking, with a round face, very white, but she looked honest and honest, and she was very kind-faced, so I also smiled and reported to my family, "The little girl is the Cheshire Lord of the Chai King's Mansion, Chai Yun'e." ”
"How old is the county lord?" She was sweet-hearted, and I liked it very much, so I said, "Fourteen this year, what about you?" ”
"One year older than the county lord, fifteen." She stretched out her hand, took out an embroidered silk handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to me, "Today is the first time I have met the county lord, and this side is the handkerchief I embroidered and sent to the county lord." ”
I also reached into my arms, but unfortunately I don't have any good craftsmanship, embroidering such a beautiful handkerchief, so I took it out of my sleeve, is a string of beads, "This is the free time, teaching my aunt to teach the little girl, the skills are not good, and please don't dislike my sister." ”
This is to make friends with Xu Yuan'er, I know her, she is a friend of Princess Yining, the sister of the little minion, and she follows her mother in General Xu's residence all the year round, and does not walk around Beijing.
Not long after sitting down, it was about to start serving, but before the food was served, the curtain outside was suddenly opened, and the people inside could not come in. ”
I sat up straight, because I felt my mother's gaze, and I really wanted to see what my father and brother were like, the man with a clear face, both civil and military, was like.
I saw a tall and slender man coming in from outside the door, with black hair combed and a long black jade hairpin inserted. The upper body is wearing a blue cross-neck robe, the bottom is a black long robe, the jade purse around the waist, it is not a vulgar thing at first sight, wearing a tea and white robe, and the black ink fox fur on the edge of the robe, it is extremely noble at a glance, looking at it like this, it is arrogant and noble than the prince of the little minion.
He came in from the door, first glanced around, and then walked towards Princess Yu without squinting, holding a small box in his hand, looking at the volume, it should be a unilateral seal and other things, but it didn't attract much attention from me.
I reached out and picked up the hot tea on the side, took a sip slowly, and he also walked to Princess Yu's side.
"Greetings to ladies and girls"
"You don't need so many courtesies, even if you say hello to your mother, then ask your mother first." Sitting next to Princess Yu was Princess Yu's sister, another Lord Mu, who married His Majesty's youngest brother, Prince Lian.
The tea in the cup tasted very fragrant, I drank a sip, and felt insufficient, so I took another sip, was thinking about what kind of tea this was, when my eyes gently swept over the prince of Yu Rongtan, he looked at the mother in the hall, smiled indifferently, at this time the sun sprinkled, like a golden silk net fell on his face, white teeth, white face, indifferent but sincere smile, let my heart move, moving and unforgettable.
