Chapter 519: The Wedding Feast
The scenery of this wedding banquet is decent, but it has nothing to do with Jiang Juan, it is handled by Concubine Mei, and she does not even participate in entertaining guests.
It's just that she is the princess of Jing'an Wangfu after all, nominally in charge of the middle feed of Jing'an Palace, and so many guests come to congratulate her, she can't say it if she doesn't help, but she doesn't want to force herself to do what she doesn't want to do, she is not so familiar with the county lord of An'an.
No, in order to hide from the bright light, Jiang Juan accidentally broke his foot when he inspected the garden last evening, and limped back to Bai Jingxuan with the help of Jin'er.
The foot was serious, and the next day she was sitting there with the princess in the bright light, and no one dared to say that she was doing something wrong, and she had to care about her for a word or two.
The wedding banquet used the best daughter red, but the ladies drank fruit wine, and the princess was pregnant, so she didn't even dip a drop of fruit wine, and the big kitchen specially prepared sour plum soup for the princess.
After thirty years of wine, after the princess drank a pot of sour plum soup, Mother Li ordered someone to bring another pot.
The princess has been happy recently, acidophilic, and the sour plum soup can just improve the appetite, but this sour plum soup does not add hawthorn, and the taste is a little less, but the sweet and sour is also very delicious.
The maid over there came with sour plum soup, and just walked to the table, when suddenly, the maid staggered forward, and the tray in her hand was unstable, and the wine jug containing the sour plum soup was dropped.
Coincidentally, he fell behind Jiang Juan, and almost smashed Jiang Juan's back, although he was not smashed, the sour plum soup splashed on Jiang Juan's skirt.
The maid's face turned white with fright, and she knelt down with a puff to admit her mistake.
There was such a big mistake in the good wedding banquet, the maid was not almost frightened, and Concubine Mei's personal housekeeper mother came over and reprimanded, "Clumsy! Disturbed the full house! ”
The maid admitted her mistake again and again.
Jin Er squatted down to wipe Jiang Wan's skirt and said, "It's all dirty." ”
This is a new dress that her girl has just put on, stained with sour plum juice, and she can't wear it in the future.
Jin Er felt that she had to change her set, Jiang Juan said, "It's just a little sour plum juice, when I go back and change my skirt, the wedding banquet will be dispersed, get up, no need to wipe it." ”
Jin Er stood up, she knew that her girl didn't want to limp in front of people, and she was even more afraid that she wouldn't pretend to be like that when the time came.
It's just that when Jin Er got up, Jiang Wan's nose moved, and his brows suddenly twisted into twists.
This taste-
The housekeeper's mother over there wanted to drag the maid down to death, Jiang Juan listened and said busily, "Today is the big day for the second young master to marry the county lord of Anyang, and the maid didn't deliberately smash the wine jug, it is unlucky to see blood." ”
The princess said, "Send this maid to Zhuangzi." ”
Then the maid was dragged down.
When she left, she looked at Jiang Juan and the princess gratefully, she missed in front of people, causing the palace to lose face, if it wasn't for the princess to intercede for her, the princess was generous, she would definitely die.
Because Jiang Juan said that it was unlucky, Concubine Mei was angry and didn't say anything.
Soon, the wine jug that the maid planned was cleaned up, and the wedding feast was still the same.
Jiang Juan looked at Li's mother and looked at her twice, and Li's mother guessed that Jiang Juan was looking for her, so she walked over.
Mother Li stepped forward and whispered, "What do you have to say to the princess?" ”
Jiang Juan whispered, "The sour plum soup has been added with the medicine of slippery tires, and the princess's food, you must be careful." ”
Li's mother had a chill in her back.
Mother Li's face turned white, and she didn't stay long, so she went back to serve the princess.
Mother Li whispered a few words in the princess's ear, and the princess's arms were so weak that she couldn't even pick up chopsticks, let alone eat.
The princess was pregnant, she ate little, and no one suspected that there was a problem.
An hour later, the wedding banquet was dispersed, Mother Li helped the princess back to Tianxiang Courtyard, Jiang Juan accompanied her, and the maid who was sent to Zhuangzi was in Tianxiang Courtyard.
Seeing Jiang Juan and the princess, the maid knelt down and kowtowed to thank her.
Jiang Juan saw her grateful, and felt that this maid should not know that someone had drugged the sour plum soup, so she asked, "I think you are also a stable person, why did you spill the sour plum soup?" ”
The maid said with red eyes, "The slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid walked well with the sour plum soup, and suddenly her feet and neck hurt, and the person fell forward uncontrollably......." ”
Jiang Juan thought that when she asked, the maid would be weak and her eyes dodged, but she didn't expect her to fall into the sour plum soup like this.
This is someone who has seen through the sour plum soup and is helping the princess.
But who could this man be?
If she and Qi Moyuan's people, just after the banquet was over, on the way to Tianxiangyuan, they would flash up and tell her, and she limped with the princess to interrogate the maid.
At that time, the female dependents were in the inner hall, and it would not be the guests who came to congratulate them, but only the secret guards of the palace.
But if it was the prince's person, the prince would definitely send someone to tell the princess and tell her to be careful.
It's weird.
The maid didn't know anything, so Jiang Juan didn't ask any more, but said, "Send it to my Zhuangzi, wait for a few months, and then call back to the house to be a little maid in my yard." ”
The maid was stunned for a moment, then tears welled up and kowtowed to thank her.
When the maid was taken out, Mother Li said indignantly, "The sour plum soup is specially prepared for the princess in the big kitchen, and I want Mother Xu to know that she almost hurt the princess with her filial piety, and she is not sure how to blame herself." ”
The princess said with a pale face, "Don't tell her about this." ”
Who would have thought that someone would do something about the sour plum soup, the sour plum soup was not prepared by Concubine Mei, and when it was found out afterwards, Mother Xu could not escape the blame.
At that time, she not only lost the fetus in her womb, but she couldn't even save Mother Xu.
Thinking of this, the princess was exhausted.
Jiang Juan comforted the princess and said, "The mother concubine is pregnant, it is not appropriate to be sad, you are going to have fetal gas, aren't you falling into the arms of others?" ”
"It's a fox that always shows its tail."
In fact, who wanted to harm the princess, I knew it with my knees, but what Jiang Juan didn't understand was that the old lady harmed the fetus in the princess's womb can be said to be for the position of the prince, but why did she match Xiao Rou and Qi Moming?
Is it for the sake of the snipe and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman?
If she really had such thoughts, could Mrs. Xiao agree?
After staying with the princess for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Juan returned to Bai Jingxuan.
I don't like to pretend to be embarrassed, so Jiang Juan walked from the path, firstly, the maids of the palace were busy in the front yard, and secondly, the secret guards followed each other, and they were not afraid that no one would encounter danger in the four corners.
But Jiang Juan didn't expect someone to walk the trail like her.
Xiao Rou came over with the maid and walked for a while, tired and screaming that her feet hurt.
The maid squatted down to rub her feet and neck, and called Qu for her master, "Why bother with the girl, you see how smart the princess is, she doesn't care about anything, the second young master was originally married to you, and the cancellation of the marriage contract is enough to wronged you, and the aunt and grandmother also let you help usher in the send-off, I don't feel sorry for you at all, and the wife also asked you to listen to the words of the aunt and grandmother." ”
"The slave maid listened to those noble ladies whispering, and they couldn't say that in two months, the position of the prince would be in the hands of the second young master, and today's scenery was yours."
