Chapter 107: The Hongmen Banquet in the General's Mansion
In the middle of the meal, You Qinglan's mother, You Sheng's wife Feng Ruoyun quietly called her daughter out.
"Qinglan, your sister has given birth to King Yu's child, but it's a pity that she is a princess...... But having a princess is better than nothing, how are you? Did you take the medicine you were given on time? "You Qinglan is the daughter of Mrs. Feng, and she is anxious to see that the second lady's daughter has given birth to a princess, but there is no news about her daughter. As early as before You Qinglan got married, Mrs. Feng had prepared fertility drugs for her and told her to take them on time every day.
"Mother's medicine I've been taking...... It's just that...... It's just that the prince doesn't like me...... "You Qinglan really can't tell her mother that she and the prince are not married yet."
"What do you like or dislike, the two of them will like it when they get along day and night." Mrs. Feng was really anxious.
"Mother, did you like each other when you married your father?" You Qinglan asked, because since she remembered that there had been a second and third ladies in the family, her father rarely came to her mother's yard.
"It doesn't matter if you like it or not, there is only one position for the general's wife, and that is enough. The love between men and women cannot compete with the years. Therefore, it is the most important thing to give birth to a child as soon as possible and stabilize your position as a princess. Mrs. Feng persuaded her daughter bitterly.
"But...... The prince ......"
Looking at You Qinglan's appearance, Mrs. Feng only felt dizzy, "Why are you so uncompetitive?" How can you share your father's worries like this? How to sit firmly in the position of the princess? ”
You Qinglan didn't want to give birth to a child, and having a child as a fetter prince would not completely ignore her, but now Jiayi's disgust with her has almost reached the point where she doesn't even want to see it, what can she do?
Feng Ruoyun thought thoughtfully: "Your father needs a child now, no matter which of your sisters gives birth to a boy, the future will be blessed, you are my daughter, so it must be you." ”
You Qinglan listened to her mother's words, and vaguely felt in her heart that the recent rumors might be true, "Mother, father, he...... To be opposed? ”
Feng Ruoyun hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth, lowered her voice and said, "It's not that your father wants to rebel, it's that he has to rebel!" Your father's high achievements have long been the intention of getting rid of the country, and now he only estimates the military power in your father's hands and does not dare to act rashly, but it is a matter of time before he seizes power. The forbearance of us now will soon take revenge on us, and your father can only rebel for the sake of the name of our people. But he is old and has no children, at this moment, who of you sisters can give him a successor, and he will be the queen mother of Linqiong in the future, do you know? ”
The word Queen Mother kept echoing in You Qinglan's heart. If her father succeeds, her and Jiayi's children will be the future lord of Linqiong, and then Chen Jiayi will no longer be able to ignore herself, she will kill Gong Ni and break her body into thousands of pieces, Chen Jiayi is her alone, and the entire Linqiong is also hers, and no one can ignore her existence anymore!
"Mother, what should I do?" You Qinglan grabbed her mother's hand.
"Since he's here today, you don't have to leave at night, and I'll take care of the rest." Feng Ruoyun did not return to the birthday banquet.
At the end of the birthday banquet, various singing, dancing, and opera performances took turns to appear, and the entire general's mansion did not stop hustle and bustle until late at night.
Jiayi got up to say goodbye, but was stopped by Feng Ruoyun: "After the wedding, Qinglan returned to the door for the first time, and our mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, I wonder if the prince can stay here for one night and return home tomorrow?" ”
"The princess stayed, and the king took his leave first." Jiayi was unmoved, he didn't want to stay here for a moment at all.
"Does King Chen dislike this? Won't even stay for one night? The old man also wanted to have a few drinks with King Chen. Jiayi was about to leave, and Yousheng came in from outside the door.
Jiayi originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, it was better to stay and see what was going on in the general's mansion, even if everything was normal, it would only be a one-night stay." ”
Feng Ruoyun had already asked someone to bring a jar of wine and put it on the table, and a few exquisite side dishes with wine had also been prepared.
Today is a good day, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the evening breeze is gentle. Jiayi looked at such a beautiful scenery and thought about how beautiful it would be to be able to watch the moon with Gong Ni on the moon side of the building.
Neon wine is a wine made by Gong Ni himself. That day, Gong Ni carried a cup of tea and put it on Jiayi's table.
Jiayi looked at her smiling and a little strange, "Let them do these jobs, why did my sister personally serve tea." ”
"What is the difference between this tea and your usual life?" Gong Ni tilted her head to look at Jiayi.
"Different?" Jiayi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and suddenly felt that the tea was fresh and cold, and a cool flow changed all over the body, and she couldn't say it for a while, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
"It's the Longjing tea you usually drink."
Jiayi frowned, "Longjing? Although the fragrance is the fragrance of Longjing, the clear taste is not like it. ”
Gong Ni took out a glass jar from her sleeve.
"How did my sister put it in her sleeve?"
"Don't worry about these details, the water in this jar is why this cup of tea has become so delicious." The moment Gong Ni lifted the lid of the glass, a rainbow of light shone from the jar to the roof, and the whole room was full of light.
"Is this a rainbow? Sister put a rainbow in a jar? Jiayi stood up and grabbed the colorful light with her hands.
"It's not a rainbow, it's a cloud." Gong Ni held the jar in front of Jiayi, "This is the dew condensed by the colorful clouds of the nine heavens, this dew gathers the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and is used to make tea, which is sweet and mellow, and has the effect of removing lesions and prolonging life." I've already used some of it to make wine, and I'll make you tea with the rest. ”
Thinking that Gong Ni Jiayi's serious face softened, he couldn't help but show a faint smile, and Yousheng saw it, "I don't know if King Chen thought of something beautiful, and he laughed for no reason." ”
Jiayi immediately put away his smile: "It's just that I think of Linqiong, Guotai and Min'an, and I feel a little emotional." ”
"Guotai Min'an is a good thing!" Yousheng raised his wine glass, and the two of them drank it all.
Feng Ruoyun and You Qinglan on the side glanced at each other and nodded lightly.
You Qinglan got up, "Father and the prince are drinking, so I'll retreat first." After speaking, he left the table with Feng Ruoyun.
"Daughter, go get ready." The smile in the corner of Feng Ruoyun's eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Mother, is this method safe?" You Qinglan was still a little relieved.
"You can rest assured that there will be no problem. You go back to your room and wait for him to come and find you. ”
Listening to her mother's words, You Qinglan's face turned red, no matter how indifferent Chen Jiayi was to her, and even turned a blind eye to meeting her in the mansion, as long as she could give birth to his child, everything would be different. Maybe he'll be able to get back to himself from that woman.
After thirty years of drinking, Yousheng got up: "King Chen is really a good amount of wine." After drinking again, the sky will be bright, His Royal Highness King Chen will go down to rest for a while, and I will ask someone to prepare clothes and go directly to the court from here. ”
