Chapter 13: The Dinner Party
As soon as the two of them entered the palace on the front foot, the emperor sent someone to announce the decree: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the second prince is the crown prince, and the second princess is the crown princess, and the palace will be renamed the prince's mansion from today, and Qin this" Hongling took the order with Chen Jinye with a confused face, thinking that she really had the luck of a prosperous husband, and just after meeting the emperor and queen, Chen Jinye was promoted. But I don't know if there are too many rules in the position of this crown princess, and whether Chen Jinye's freedom to me will not count at that time.
Back in the room, Hongling suddenly remembered what Wang Anxin had said in the letter before, so she summoned Xiaoqing over.
"Xiaoqing, tell me about Die'er"
"Miss, why did you suddenly talk about Miss Die'er? You didn't say, you didn't say..."
"I've missed her a little lately, but I don't remember the past very clearly"
Seeing Hongling's indifferent appearance, Xiaoqing couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but in the end, she relied on her and brought up the old things again.
"That year, Xiao Gongzi and Miss met at the Lantern Festival, at that time Miss was a lot more cheerful, especially like to chant poetry against each other, the two of you got married because of poetry at that Lantern Festival, and then came and went to fall in love, but the master disagreed with the feelings between you, but you still met secretly in private, the master was very angry after knowing, so he grounded you for half a year, Miss Die'er knew your mind, so she helped you and Xiao Gongzi a lot in secret, so that you can meet, Later, it was rumored that you were going to be sent to the palace, Xiao Gongzi was very anxious when he knew it, so he begged Miss Die'er for help, saying that he was going to take you away and fly away, Miss Die'er relented and agreed to him, just the day before you planned to escape, the matter was revealed, the lord was furious when he found out, and threatened to break Xiao Gongzi's legs, you were imprisoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and begged Miss Die'er to go to report to Xiao Gongzi, but Miss Die'er went and there was no news, and Xiao Gongzi also disappeared, until now their disappearance is still a mystery, From then on, there was no smile on your face, and the matter of Miss Die'er and Xiao Gongzi has also become a taboo in the Prime Minister's house, and Miss Die'er has always been said to be ill. Mrs. and the lord were also hit hard after they knew, especially the lord, who was sad during that time and almost couldn't say a word, and the lady also washed her face with tears all day long, and then you went to jump into the river, almost lost half of your life, the old lady finally rescued you, in order to make your heart better, the old lady never mentioned the matter of Miss Die'er again, only as the love of only your daughter, I just hope that you will come out of the haze of the past as soon as possible"
...
It turned out that there was such a tragic story behind the Jiang Mansion, no wonder Jiang Zhong's father would be like this.
"Princess, the prince asked the slave maid to serve you to prepare the dinner" A handsome woman explained her intention, "What is your name", "Slave Xiuxiu" After saying that, Hong Ling spread her arms and let her change her clothes, and in a moment she slammed Hong Ling from the inside out, a set of gorgeous and simple dresses with delicate hair buns, coupled with makeup, Hong Ling's whole person exuded a dazzling aura.
"Is the crown princess still satisfied?"
"It's good, thank you for your hard work"
"Slaves don't work hard"
Hong Ling saw that Xiuxiu's eyes were full of wit, and she felt that she liked it tightly, and asked, "Where are you working now?" "The slave maid was supposed to serve by the prince's side", Hongling said with regret: "In this way, I still want to keep you by my side."
"Qi Yu Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if the mother likes the slave maid, then ask the slave maid to obey the instructions of the mother from now on" Hongling was happy when she heard it: "Then you go to Xiaoqing to find a room in my courtyard and move here" Hongling did not ignore the fleeting surprise in Xiuxiu's eyes, and then shouted: "Xiaoqing, don't come soon to welcome the new 'family'" I saw Xiaoqing running in a hurry, and after seeing Xiuxiu, she pouted and said: "What, Miss, you don't want me", "Why don't you want you, it's not that you're afraid that you will be alone and depressed, I see that this Xiuxiu is very clever and clever, so I asked her to stay with you, why are you still unhappy? Hongling poked Xiaoqing's hand and joked, Xiaoqing was also happy when she heard it, and ran away again with Xiuxiu.
Hongling sat alone in the courtyard to pass the time, staring at the bonsai in front of her in a daze, and the little girl next to her said: "Niangniang, these bonsai were just sent by the queen mother", it turns out that this is the case, no wonder it looks so magnificent, not like ordinary bonsai.
After a while, Xiaoqing and Xiuxiu came back after watching the room, the two were already very close, and Hongling saw that the time was about the same, "Xiaoqing accompanied me to the dinner, and the others dispersed and rested when the time came, so there was no need to wait for the two of us to come back" After that, he took Xiaoqing's hand and got up and walked out.
Sure enough, the carriage was ready, and it happened to meet the prince just when he arrived, Chen Jinye saw that Hongling's dress was three points more beautiful than the wedding dress she wore that day, "Ling'er is very adaptable to the identity of this 'princess'", "The prince has won the award" and supported Chen Jinye's hand to get into the carriage, and Chen Jinye raised his eyebrows and followed.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Hongling squinted as soon as she got in the car, "Concubine Ai is like this, but she wants to have a nightmare and startle the king?" Hongling was excited, and opened her eyes "Don't dare". It was Chen Jinye, seeing her like this, she hooked her lips and squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep.
During the banquet, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the concubines of the harem sat together, and when the emperor and queen sat in a high position to hold the banquet, they read out the edict of the crown prince again, which was regarded as announcing the promotion of Prince Ye to the world. Chen Jinye sat upright in front of everyone, his already handsome face was even more dazzling against the backdrop of the gorgeous clothes, and how many female dependents who had not been out of the cabinet blushed for a long time when they looked at it from afar.
No, one by one, they vied with each other, and they glanced at the prince's seat from time to time after a singing and dancing piano performance, and Hong Ling felt the scorching gaze from all directions, but Chen Jinye didn't seem to be affected at all, no matter what, he didn't bother to care about this idle errand, he should eat, drink, or anything. Chen Jinye saw that she was so panicked for some reason, so he wanted to embarrass her.
"Enlighten the father, this song and dance makes the sons and daughters can't help but think of Ling'er's graceful dancing, it is better to let Ling'er perform for the father and queen mother" When Hongling heard it, she almost couldn't get up in one breath, what the hell? Still dancing gracefully? It's like running a train with a mouth.
"I didn't expect Ling'er to have such a talent, so good, I agreed, hahaha", Hongling rolled her eyes in her heart, forced a smile, and said: "Father, that Ling'er will be ugly"
The music sounded, Hong Ling stepped on the drum and began to twist her waist, with the flexible transformation of her hands, combined with the elements of modern dance, like when she was playing in the bar before, the song was silent, and only Hong Ling was left with the wheezing sound of dancing, and the ministers and guests present were shocked for a while and forgot to react, and the next second they applauded.
"My daughter-in-law really lives up to her reputation, give wine!" Hongling drank it all in one gulp, and when she returned to her seat, she raised her eyebrows at Chen Jinye provocatively, trying to stump me, but it was not so easy.
After the dinner, the first thing he did when he returned home was to wash and sleep, but Chen Jinye didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he had to sleep with Hongling after him, and he said it was a "routine".
"What the hell is routine? We had a pact that you couldn't force you to have sex with me! Looking at the fried Hongling, Chen Jinye felt funny, but he didn't expect the gentle and wise 'crown princess' to not flinch when dealing with the deliberately set problem, but this incident brought out her true colors.
"Who said they were going to have sex with you?" Chen Jinye slowly approached Hong Ling, Hong Ling pursed her lips and stepped back, until there was no way to retreat, Chen Jinye leaned close to her ear and said, "What?" Can't wait to do the husband and wife affair with this king? Hong Ling's face flushed, "No, no, what are you going to do?" Chen Jinye caught a glimpse of her already red ear and couldn't help biting it, and Hongling was trembling and was about to dodge.
"Don't worry, it's just the same bed, this king is not used to being strong, the newlyweds have not been in the same room for a few days, and they will fall into the mouth, don't forget, this is also one of the duties you have to fulfill", after speaking, he left Hongling's side and walked straight to the bed. Hongling was secretly annoyed that she was not calm, and the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, "Then I will turn off the lights" After speaking, she turned off the lights and went to bed in the dark.
