Chapter 19: When the Family Feast is in progress
Qixiang Palace, Xiao's double beads.
"Sister, I heard that Concubine Jing dressed up and went to the imperial study yesterday, I don't know what to say, the lord of the country is happy, not only promoted to the position but also given the right to associate the six palaces." Xiao Yuxiao was dressed in a pink rose-scented tight-fitting robe with sleeves, a green smoke gauze loose flower skirt under it, a big bow tied with gold silk soft smoke around her waist, and her sideburns hanging low and obliquely inserted into the jasper and phoenix hairpins.
"I heard that yes, you were not in the palace yesterday, but Ling An, who was next to the lord of the country, came to announce the decree in person, I heard that it was a serious illness from Lanyue Pavilion, and somehow provoked Long Yan Dayue, it's really a good skill." The one who was called her sister was Xiao Yuruan.
"Sister, what are your plans for the future?" Xiao Yuxiao smiled charmingly, looking not interested in what Xiao Yuruan said, his armored hands supported his chin, lazy and seductive, his eyes looked at Xiao Yuruan, waiting for her next words.
"I heard that it was for Concubine Wan's private pearl... Pearls, what I have here is no worse than Lanyue Pavilion. "The woman's lips are bright on the outside, and her teeth are fresh on the inside; Bright eyes are good, and the power is subordinate; Magnificent and elegant, quiet and leisurely; Tenderness and flattery in words.
"Then my sister is looking forward to it."
"Sister, you can take a look, someone..."
Zhaoyang Palace, Yuan Song.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Zhaoyang Palace, Yuan's Jingge, smart and agile, dignified and wise, respectful and cautious, long-serving palace, sensitive and wise, and courteous. The Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty was canonized immediately, and the right to associate the six palaces was given. ”
"The concubine received the decree and thanked the lord for his good life." It was the first time for Yuan Ge to wear such a gorgeous costume, the golden Bixia Luo embroidered with delicate patterns, the pink smoke gauze skirt that dragged the floor, the soft yarn of Luo Cui in his hand, and the peony flower obliquely inserted in the wind bun and fog temples was really a bit of a national color and heavenly fragrance. Dai's eyebrows are delicate and far away, and the green temples are thick with the smell of spring smoke.
Thank you, be entitled, receive gifts, and be rewarded, Yuan Ge had everything that the harem woman wanted for a while, everything seemed so smooth, but Yuan Ge was not shocked in his heart, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were sweet, and he looked carefully with a touch of sadness.
'Yes, such a sky-breaking wealth, such a day of intrigue, is it really what I should experience? If I was a daughter of the Yuan family and lived in Shunxi, I could accept my fate, but no, I came here inexplicably, and Brother Huai also... Alas, when will I be able to go home...'
"Mother? Niangniang..."Xiao Tao gently called Yuan Ge, pulling her thoughts back to reality.
"What?" Yuan Ge asked.
"The lord of the country has spoken, saying that someone has come to the house, Xiangye, Madame, the eldest young master, and the fourth young lady are here, and..."
"Who else?"
"Pei Shuo, Pei Imperial Envoy." Xiao Tao cautiously said the person's name, and after that, she glanced at Yuan Ge's expression, and saw that Yuan Ge had no other reaction, and then she was relieved.
"Then prepare a small gift, let me go and meet my sister who I haven't seen for a long time." Yuan Ge saw Xiao Tao's appearance, and smiled helplessly, "I really don't know what this girl is thinking all day long, but what is the intention of letting the mother family enter the palace like this?" ’
The decoration in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is gorgeous, exquisite, and it shows wealth everywhere.
"It's really bold here." Yuan Ge and his entourage stood in front of the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, this was the first time Yuan Ge had seen people in the Prime Minister's Mansion after entering the palace, in this form.
"Niangniang, you don't know, you must know that our Queen Mother likes to listen to the drama the most, and this Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the theater designed and built by the first emperor for the Queen Mother, and the queen mother ascended the throne, the Queen Mother was quite sad when she saw this, and felt that it was too gorgeous, so she made more rectifications to this theater and became what it is today." Mama Zhao explained.
"Our former emperor is really affectionate to the Queen Mother." Yuan Ge smiled slightly.
"Who says it's not, this is the first time in a lifetime that the son of a different belly has opened the world." Mama Zhao also sighed when she talked about the past.
"Let's go, the lord of the country should be in a hurry."
"Yes."
Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Yuan Zhao, Zhao Ying. Pei Yuan's family, Yuan Qiyun, Pei Shuo sat upright in the chair, and the hall looked harmonious, but who knows...
"The lord of the country came so early, it seems that Ge'er is not so attentive." Yuan Geyan smiled, Yingying walked in, her waist was light, her jade pendant was swaying, she was wearing a golden hairpin, and she was graceful and luxurious.
"Ge'er, come and see Xiangye and Mrs., the two of them are very concerned about you." Yuan Ge arrived, and under the gaze of everyone, Chonghuai immediately changed his face, from the polite "Xiangye, Mrs. don't have to be so polite; Xiangye and Mrs. don't have to be so restrained. "So far, I got up in person and came to Yuan Ge.
Seeing Chonghuai's move, Yuan Hongbo was shocked, but Zhao Ying smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, feeling the good fortune of her daughter.
"I've seen my father, mother, eldest brother, and Ge'er have been in the palace for a while, but I don't know if my parents are healthy and my eldest brother is in good health." Yuan Ge smiled slightly, and naturally felt a lot relieved when he saw his 'relatives'.
"Everything is fine, clumsy, the child is in good health, thank you for remembering." Yuan Hongbo immediately responded according to the courtesy, and the proper official tone made Yuan Ge cry and laugh.
"Why is the concubine smiling so happily, it is better to listen to it with me, and you can also have fun with the concubine." Chonghuai hugged the little woman in his arms, saw the woman's smile, and his heart was also quite touched, and he asked while pulling her into his seat beside him.
"The concubine smiled so much, the lord of the country clearly said that it was a family banquet, and he was full of the suffering of the concubines and concubines, but now, my father is restrained and full of official tone, which is not like a family banquet, like the top prize in the exam." Yuan Ge was slightly sarcastic and playful, and he didn't shy away from everyone's expressions, and said it in a daze.
The Son of Heaven is in the hall, even if the daughter is a concubine, the father can only be cautious, this is the truth that has not changed, but now, my own girl dares to do this, will the lord of the country... Yuan Hongbo was shocked, and couldn't help but quietly look at Chonghuai, secretly pinching a cold sweat for his daughter.
Can be filled... Well, the man who laughs like a fool, and looks at his daughter like a hairy boy, is really the full Huai who is above the court and holds the power of life and death? ? ? Yuan Hongbo was completely messy.
"What Concubine Jing said is that the father-in-law, mother-in-law, doesn't have to be like this." Chonghuai learned the appearance of Yuan Ge, wanting to ease the atmosphere of the scene.
“...”
'Are you relieving?? Didn't you see my father's thunder-struck look, or my mother's indescribable smile, or my cheap sister's eyes that were about to stare out, that big brother, can you not look at me like this, we are innocent!! What the hell is that hurt on your face?! Yuan Ge simply gave a big thumbs up to Chonghuai in his heart, "What are you really doing, digging the first place." ’
"Lord, don't scare my father and mother, your words will make my family unable to swallow, and you have wasted the delicacies on this table." Seeing the embarrassment of this table, Yuan Ge had no choice but to appear and play a round road.
"This is the husband of the fourth sister in the house, and he is still the beloved son of the late Imperial Envoy Pei, he is really young and promising, a pillar of the country." With a word, the focus was instantly drawn to a pair of young people in the distance.
"The lord of the country praises, Pei Shuo is ashamed and doesn't dare to take it, he just wants to accept his will, follow his wishes, guard Shunxi according to his father's teachings, and avoid worries for the lord of the country." Pei Shuo immediately saluted, and between his words, he was loyal, but he didn't mention his wife who had just started - Yuan Qiyun.
Yuan Qiyun, who had been ignored for a long time, was already unhappy, thinking about his situation in Pei's Mansion, but now looking at Yuan Ge's wealth in the palace, his heart was even more resentful. is also the young lady of the Yuan family, why is God so unfair, unconsciously, Yuan Qiyun's fists have already clenched together.
"Qiyun? Qiyun..."Seeing this, Yuan Hongbo immediately awakened Yuan Qiyun's consciousness.
"The lord of the country, Qiyun is tired of things, I can't compare to my sister to be leisurely, I feel a lot of discomfort, I have time to reply in the future, and I hope the lord of the country will not blame." Yuan Qiyun was busy confessing his guilt, and he didn't forget to pull Yuan Ge into the water, 'Look, how pitiful I am. ’
Jiao Didi's pitiful appearance has never won a trace of sympathy and understanding, Yuan Hongbo is dissatisfied with her frivolous appearance, Zhao Ying has already rolled her head with white eyes, as for Chonghuai, she has already seen all kinds of beauties, not to mention Yuan Qiyun, her eyes are no longer on her body, and she is feeding grapes to Yuan Ge's small mouth one after another.
"The lord of the country, the concubines can't eat it." Yuan Ge reluctantly stopped, "No one can stand eating all the time, I'm not a pig..."
Yuan Qiyun suddenly became even more embarrassed, looked at Pei Shuo, and saw that the husband she was thinking about was also on Yuan Ge, how can people not hate! Yuan Qiyun's gaze at Yuan Ge was even more vicious.
Lanyue Pavilion, Concubine Lin Jiwen.
"Niangniang, this is today's fetal medicine, you are about to use it, you have been quite sad recently, this is not good for the imperial heir, and it is not good for your body." Shuang'er walked gently to Lin Jiwen's side and woke her up softly.
"Is the lord of the country still with her today?" Lin Jiwen seems to have changed his face, and the whole thing makes people thin and thin, where is there still the scenery of the main seat of the first house.
"Mother..."Frost worried.
"Isn't it!" Ji Wen stood up with a breath of strength, and his words seemed to have used all his strength.
"Yes..."
"Sure enough, for so many years, only myself has been in the play, only myself..." Ji Wen seemed to be crazy, babbling something. Seeing this, Shuang'er wanted to go out to find Chonghuai.
'Yes, Miss loves the country so much, if the Lord of the country comes to visit Miss, Miss will definitely get better, she will...' Shuang'er didn't understand the truth, she only had so many years of love for Ji Wen in her eyes, how could such a big favor disappear when it disappeared?
Shuang'er hurriedly ran out of the hall, and as soon as she went out, she bumped into Ji Ran and his party walking towards Lanyue Pavilion.
"The slave visits the queen, and the queen is always happy." Seeing this, Shuang'er had to kneel down and salute.
"Frost, where are you going in such a hurry?" Ji Ran's voice seemed to be inherently deterrent, and Shuang'er had to bow her head and reply, not daring to say more.
"Since the lord of the country accompanies Concubine Jing to dinner, then the palace will personally visit Concubine Wan, who is 'seriously ill'." After saying that, Su Mo'er helped Ji Ran and walked towards the Lanyue Pavilion.
"No, no, my mother..."Shuang'er sensed that something was wrong, and just as she wanted to say something to intercept her, Su Mo'er signaled with her eyes, and the powerful grandmothers behind her firmly controlled Shuang'er, gagged her mouth, and couldn't struggle.
"Ji Wen, I heard that Shuang'er said that you are seriously ill, so I will come to see you." The corners of Ji Ran's mouth hooked up a sneer, like a poppy blooming, "This girl, didn't she commit a crime, she cursed her master like this." ”
"Mother is serious, cough cough... Shuang'er has always been steady, how can she be the vicious person in Niangniang's mouth, but she is worried about the concubine's body, and she exaggerates a little, Niangniang should not blame her, cough cough cough..."
"Since my sister is inconvenient, then this palace will discipline the maid for my sister, okay?" The smile on Ji Ran's face disappeared, and his expression became serious.
"Shuang'er is outspoken, offending the head of the family, fifty palms, exercise it immediately! Mo'er, this palm, you come, okay? ”
