Yanyue (3)
Zhu Xiaogongzi's full moon banquet was held in the Fengyi Terrace in the palace to show the emperor's favor.
And the princess Ji of Qi, who came hand in hand with Xie Jun, the king of Qi, is even more admirable, after all, the son of Princess Qi's womb is the eldest grandson of Emperor Chengji; In the past, others wanted to see the jokes of King Qi and Princess Qi, but now they are so disappointed.
Ning Yanyue, a girl from the Ning family who had not yet married King Wu, followed Ning Ji obediently, quietly and politely.
When Mrs. Chu saw Ning Ji, she was very enthusiastic and talked to her: "Miss Ning's appearance is really good, I like it very much." King Wu can have such a good princess, it is really a blessing that is difficult to find. ”
"Madame is falsely praised; The courtiers are just the posture of the willows, and the lady is the peony national color. "Ning Yan said that the moon fell and said generously.
"Sister Ning, I really like this little girl from your Ning family. If Miss Ning is not the princess of King Wu, I want to recognize Miss Ning as my goddaughter. Mrs. Chu said with a smile.
Ning Ji glanced back at Ning Yanyue, and said with a smile: "Yanyue grew up by my side when she was young, and I have always treated her as a daughter. ”
Ning Yanyue lowered her head with a smile and listened to the chattering conversation between Mrs. Chu and Ning Ji.
When they came to Fengyitai, they saw Mrs. Yan and Princess Guanghua coming out together; No matter how Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Chu usually fight openly and secretly, but now it is the full moon banquet of Princess Guanghua's child, and the two still pretend to laugh harmoniously when they meet.
But Mrs. Yan remembered the recent events, but when she saw that Mrs. Chu was still smiling and smiling, she couldn't help but be annoyed.
"Congratulations to Sister Yan; Now that Princess Guanghua has given birth to a little son, Princess Qi will give birth to a little prince in a few months, and Sister Yan will be a grandmother and a grandmother, but she is blessed. "Ning Ji treats both Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Yan with a smile on her face, without the slightest hint of favoritism.
Mrs. Yan also smiled and said to Ning Ji: "Sister Ning, isn't it also a happy event. As she spoke, she glanced at Ning Yanyue, who was obediently following Ning Ji's side, and Mrs. Yan said again, "When King Wu and Miss Ning get married, and then add a grandson to Sister Ning, Sister Ning is not also a grandmother." ”
Ning Ji smiled: "Thank you, Sister Yan." ”
Mrs. Chu heard them greeting each other, and was about to enter the back of Fengyi Terrace, when she was suddenly called by Mrs. Yan, and Mrs. Yan said to Mrs. Chu strangely enthusiastically: "Sister Chu, I don't know if Princess Zhaohua has any news?" Princess Zhaohua is alone outside, how dangerous it is. ”
Listening to the words of the concubine, Princess Guanghua frowned, and then returned to normal as if she didn't know anything.
"Thank you Sister Yan for your concern." When Mrs. Chu saw Mrs. Yan's seemingly worried but mocking expression, her heart was uncomfortable, and she could only stiffen her face and say, "Xinfang, this child has been lively and active since he was a child, and he may come back after playing outside." "Mrs. Chu is naturally worried that she is still the nowhere to be found in Princess Zhaohua, but in front of Mrs. Yan, she will not show the slightest bit so that Mrs. Yan will have a chance to mock her.
Mrs. Yan had already understood Mrs. Chu's careful thoughts, but she felt extremely happy, and nothing made her feel more comfortable than seeing Mrs. Chu eat deflated but had to pretend to be light and light.
So Mrs. Yan mentioned casually: "In the future, we will all be a family, and there is no need to see each other like this." When Princess Zhaohua marries our Yan family, it will not be her own family. ”
It was Emperor Chengji's intention to let Princess Zhaohua marry into the Yan family, but Mrs. Chu didn't expect Mrs. Yan to know about it, so she could only pretend that she didn't know anything: "What did Sister Yan say?" Besides, Xinfang has not yet reached the end of the day, and it is indeed too early to talk about marriage. ”
Mrs. Yan smiled lightly and admired Mrs. Chu's several changes in expression, and originally wanted to say something, but was pulled over by Princess Guanghua: "Mother, let's go to the apse to see Xiao Yueze." I seemed to hear Kogoshizawa crying just now. ”
"Xiao Yueze has a nurse over there, so why don't you worry about everything." Although Mrs. Yan said this, she still walked towards the apse with Princess Guanghua.
Mrs. Chu removed the haze in her eyes, and still went up to Fengyi Terrace with Ning Ji with a smile.
One after another, the ladies of the officials also came, and Mrs. Yan and Princess Guanghua came out with Xiao Yueze, and Princess Guanghua's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, also looked at the baby lovingly.
However, Mrs. Chu and the people of the Chu family seemed to be a little out of place with this excitement, and they did not integrate into it until Emperor Chengji arrived.
The princes were really happy, after all, the child was the eldest sister's child, and Princess Guanghua, as a sister, had always cared for and cared for several brothers.
Wu Wang Xie Ye made eye contact with Ning Yanyue several times, which was quite happy in Ning Ji's eyes.
Now Ning Ji only feels that her son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, and she is really happy, as for the Yan family or the Chu family, it has nothing to do with her.
On the other side, King Xie Jun of Qi and Princess Ji Ruoli of Qi who were sitting next to each other also seemed to be whispering something as if no one was around; Ji Ruoli couldn't drink alcohol because she was pregnant, so she put juice on her case, but her cheeks were even redder than after drinking.
Mrs. Yan was talking to her in-laws, Mrs. Zhu, but she inadvertently looked up and saw Xie Jun and Ji Ruoli, who were also whispering, her eyes were a little complicated, and then she quickly looked away.
A few days ago, the Duchess of Zhenguo came to see her in the palace, and said that the Yan family had a concubine daughter, and the sisters in the family ranked ninth, well-behaved and obedient, and her appearance was the best among the sisters; According to the meaning of the Yan family, they want to stuff this Yan Jiu girl into the palace of the king of Qi as a side concubine, and if the Ji family dies in the future, it is logical to let the daughter of the Yan family become the step-concubine of the king of Qi, so as to strengthen the relationship between the king of Qi and the Yan family.
Mrs. Yan wanted to politely refuse her sister-in-law's proposal, but after seeing that Yan Jiu girl, she moved her mind; Seeing Miss Yan Jiu, she remembered herself when she was young, and that girl was very similar to her aunt in every gesture, which made Mrs. Yan deeply pity this girl.
Back then, she was also stuffed into the side room of the Xie family by the family, and now Miss Yan Jiu is just the same fate as her in the past.
According to the identity of Miss Yan Jiu, she can only marry low, and in the future, she will only be used by the Yan family to entrap a powerful subordinate; Thinking like this, it is better to simply stuff Miss Yan Jiu into the Qi Palace's mansion as a side concubine, and it will also be the identity of the scenery in the future.
Mrs. Yan's mind is active, and now that the Ji family is pregnant, it is also justifiable for her to ask His Majesty to give Miss Yan Jiu to the King of Qi.
Today's banquet Zhenguo Duchess specially brought Miss Yan Jiu, during which Miss Yan Jiu secretly looked up to look at King Xie Jun of Qi several times, and then blushed.
