The Lin family was also busy with the ceremony. Concubine Chu was sitting upright in the hall, wearing a rare plain embroidered purple peony medicine long skirt, with a flying red bun on her head, which was originally a graceful bun, but several golden hairpins were inserted, which seemed top-heavy, rich and rich and not leisurely.

She raised her eyes to look at them, and then said slowly, "Get up." You have worked hard all the way, and sit aside, these subordinates don't teach you a lesson, it's really hateful, don't take this concubine in your eyes, in the end, this concubine is too conniving, and some people dare to climb on the head of the master. ”

The maid kneeling on the ground heard Concubine Chu's words so heavy, she was so frightened that her face was pale, and she kowtowed and bled out.

Lin looked at it with a white face, his face showed that he couldn't bear it, and he wanted to beg for mercy for her but didn't dare to come forward. Ouyang Zhen stepped forward with a smile and said, "The princess is angry, and she doesn't dare to be disrespectful to the princess if she gives this maid ten dares." The princess's anger has also dissipated, and it is not worth hurting her body for this kind of popularity. ”

Lin also hurriedly stepped forward and said a few good words. Concubine Chu still didn't smile, stared at Lin's stomach a few times, and suddenly asked, "How is Sister Lin doing in the other courtyard?" Seeing that you look good, the concubine will also go to live there another day to see if it is really so good. Lin was so frightened that he shuddered again.

Ouyang Zhen hurriedly interjected a few more words and forked the topic. Concubine Chu's complexion slowly turned back to normal. Then several ladies came over in turn.

During the banquet, the Liu family was still talking and laughing, and there was no unhappiness on his face, and he only ordered a few new dishes for the Lin family to try more. Poor Lin didn't dare not eat, but he didn't want to eat indiscriminately and eat bad stomach, and he ate every dish very hard.

Several ladies were having dinner, and suddenly Liu said: "I have to go to the palace on August 16, it is a palace banquet, and the prince's family has to go." Hey, on such a hot day, it's very hard to eat this feast. ”

Ouyang Zhen's eyelids jumped, it was another palace banquet!

There has always been no good meeting, and there is no good banquet. I almost lost my life last time, and this time I won't go even if I kill her. Ouyang Zhen made up his mind in his heart, but he didn't speak.

Lin suddenly spoke: "Princess, can the concubine not go?" On such a hot day, the concubine is really ......" said very embarrassed.

The princess nodded when she heard this, frowned and said, "Forget it, don't go either, it's good to be raised at home." It's just that it's autumn, and it's not convenient for you to go. ”

Ouyang Zhen heard Lin speak, and quickly put down his chopsticks and whispered, "Princess...... It's not good to be afraid of the concubine's body, the concubine's confinement has just passed, this ...... I'm afraid that I will rush to the nobles in the palace. ”

Her words were very tactful, but the meaning was clear

Concubine Chu also nodded: "That's it, don't go for both of you." At this time, the Liu family on the side covered his mouth and smiled: "The two sisters are now more and more one, and they deserve to be so good even if they don't go." But you are in the house, you don't know, it is very tiring to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, you have to climb the 'Xiling Mountain' behind the imperial garden to see the chrysanthemums for a while, and then officially enter the table, but this time the emperor does not know if he will come over in person for a while. ”

Her eyebrows and eyes smiled crookedly, and she couldn't hear anything else, but Concubine Chu frowned: "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking, besides, the palace banquet can be used casually to talk nonsense?" ”

Liu Shi hurriedly stopped laughing and pursed his lips in embarrassment.

Lin and Ouyang Zhen glanced at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes,

The palace banquet is most afraid of becoming a cannibalistic banquet.

On August 15, according to the customary morning, the princess led the ladies of the palace to the ancestral hall to burn incense and worship, and in the evening, a reunion banquet was held in the palace.

Chu Huotian was also rare to come, sitting on the table and smiling frequently, occasionally ordering food for Concubine Chu, and saying a few words to the Liu family next to him. Xiao Shizi and the county lord were sitting at the small table next to them, and Lin Xiang was also sitting and eating, his black eyes were rolling around, but he was still sitting obediently.

Xiao Shizi ate for a while, and suddenly walked to Liu's side and said: "Mother, I want to go down to read ......" Liu Shi hurriedly said: "Do you want to go down to read, my son has been working harder and harder recently." ”

Chu Huotian turned his head lightly when he heard this, and saw that Xiao Shizi was standing in a daze, and suddenly asked, "A few days ago, Mr. said that you have been scribbling again recently, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Shizi was already afraid of him, and if he hadn't wanted to go down early to see if his mother had eaten oats for his newly bought foal, he wouldn't have dared to come up.

Now as soon as Chu Huotian asked, he was suddenly a little frightened. Liu Shi hurriedly tugged his hand and said with a smile: "Hou Ye Mingjian, if I hadn't asked him to read more in the past few days, I think he wouldn't have forgotten to learn calligraphy." ”

Chu Huotian saw him slowly hiding behind the Liu family, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he only snorted coldly: "You can pet it, a good son is spoiled like this by you." I bought him everything, didn't he buy a sweaty foal a few days ago? He has been having a good time these days, and his plaything is demoralized! ”

Liu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he only said in a low voice: "The concubine just wants him to be like the Hou Ye, and he is ...... both in culture and martial arts."

Chu Huotian no longer looked at her, and said coldly: "Your son is cultivated by yourself." Don't blame Ben Hou for not mentioning you. ”

The two of them did not speak loudly, but several of the ladies around them heard it. Concubine Chu didn't come over to persuade her, so she hurriedly grabbed a few chopsticks and put them in Chu Huotian's bowl, and gently persuaded him to eat more.

Liu's head was lowered, but his eyes were red. Ouyang Zhen also heard it vaguely, but he heard the sentence "Your son cultivates by yourself" clearly.

Liu asked Mama to take Xiao Shizi down, lowered her head and ate a few bites of food, and then raised her head, her expression had returned to her original state.

It's really self-contained! Ouyang Zhen secretly admired in his heart.

The Liu family was silent a lot on the table, and there were few people talking on the entire seat, and the Xu family was much more peaceful since he was punished that time, but his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and the whole person was also alienated and difficult to approach.

A reunion dinner was not very enjoyable. Chu Huotian seemed to have something to do, so he got up and hurriedly left the table when he was full. After he left, Liu also said goodbye and returned to the courtyard.

Concubine Chu didn't care, ordered someone to withdraw the banquet, and arranged to put snacks and fruits in the pavilion, and asked several ladies to go over to admire the moon together.

Lin sat beside Ouyang Zhen, pulled her and said, "Mrs. Liu was reprimanded by the Hou Ye, although the princess couldn't see it on her face, she was also very happy in her heart. At this time in previous years, she was the first to go back to rest, but this year she was interested in admiring the moon. ”
