Chapter 17: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (2)
Lan Yi glared at her, "Is Princess Qi the proper daughter-in-law of Concubine Ying?" ”
"Yes."
"Princess Qi is so good-natured, or the wife of King Qi, what is it like in front of her mother-in-law, haven't you seen it? Because of Concubine Ying's attitude, she has to bear so many people's fingers and treat me well. Who am I? is someone who is likely to share her husband with her, how uncomfortable do you say she is? treats his own daughter-in-law, and still pokes his heart like this, how good can he be in the side room of his son? ”
Seeing Ning Fu's abruptness, Lan Yi sighed and continued: "Today, their mother and son can belittle Princess Qi in order to accept me as a side concubine, and in the future, they can abandon me for someone who is more beneficial to them." The more Concubine Ying pushes me at the moment, the more I don't want to make a bunch of things with them. ”
The more Ning Fu listened, the more she felt that this was the case, but she was worried again, "But how can you push it?" People have done their part. ”
Lan Yi gritted his teeth, "If you can't hide from it, I'm going to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, what will happen after I go, who knows." ”
Because of Concubine Ying's intervention, the eldest lady of the Pei family, who originally looked hopeless, once again became the object of everyone's discussion, Pei Miaoyun gritted her silver teeth in the house, crying nonstop, and did not exchange Pei Gui for letting her enter the palace together, only then did she realize that after such a long time, only she was unlucky.
And Pei Miaoqing, who had a deep sisterhood with her before, has been busy cutting new clothes to wear to the palace banquet these days, and she has no time to take care of her.
On the contrary, Aunt Bai felt that she couldn't leave people dry for too long, and occasionally went to accompany her to say a few words, of course, mainly saying that Lan Yi was scheming, and now she was fine, and she could still participate in the palace banquet, but Miaoyun was locked in the house, which is the best proof.
Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and time passed very quickly, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, Lan Yi was already quite healthy, covered with a big red cloak, and her ruddy face was hidden in the white fluff, which was beautiful with pink makeup.
Wan Yin pushed Wanyu with a smile and said, "Look, Lan Yi has compared you to you, in the end, our aunt is a famous beauty, Lan Yi has just arrived at the age of Ji Lu, and she has just grown a little, so it is very different." ”
Wanyu thought that she was going to see Wei Changjue today, and she was actually very nervous, but at this moment, she still laughed willfully in front of people, "I don't care, I'm also good-looking, I'm as good-looking as Sister Lan Yi." ”
The three of them were talking and laughing, and Ning Fu came in and said, "Miss, the second lady sent someone to ask if this place is ready, and she said that she can leave at any time." ”
Wanyu didn't like her, so she opened her mouth and said: "But she can really die in a hurry, and I don't know why she likes to climb high branches so much." ”
Under the big festival, Lan Yi didn't want to be unhappy, and said with a smile: "Okay, the time has come, and it's normal for the second sister to urge, do we still have something left?" If you don't have one, go out. ”
Wan Yin and Lan Yi both knew that Wan Yu was not in a good mood, and Wei Changjue's matter had not been completely resolved in the eyes of the three girls, so these two people deliberately did not let Wan Yu and Pei Miaoqing have more contact, so as not to cause trouble again.
The two sisters of the Fang family had a carriage, Pei Miaoqing and Lan Yi were in one place, Pei Gui was mostly in one place with his colleagues today, and there was no serious housewife in Pei's house, so he specially instructed Lan Yi to take care of several younger sisters.
Pei Miaoqing has exquisite makeup today, it is said that Aunt Bai invited her to hire a special makeup girl, and the makeup is carefully depicted according to her original appearance, which looks natural and beautiful, and among several girls, it can be regarded as the first place. She was wearing a pebbly green double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand-water dress, although it was thicker with cotton, Lan Yi couldn't help but ask, "Is the second sister cold?" ”
It was okay to burn charcoal in the house, but when she went out so suddenly, Pei Miaoqing only felt that she had fallen into an ice hole, if she hadn't held a hand stove, she was afraid that she would have to go back immediately.
Of course, in front of Lan Yi, Pei Miaoqing only had a graceful smile, and said calmly: "Thank you eldest sister for your concern, I feel fine, it may be that my body has always been good, and the eldest sister has only experienced a serious illness, so I feel cold." ”
Lan Yi kindly asked, in exchange for such a hostile answer from the other party, he smiled helplessly, and said lightly: "The second sister is so beautiful, I can't even take my eyes off it." ”
Sure enough, only when she heard such words, Pei Miaoqing could be happy, her appearance was originally a little light, it was not that she had never tried a festive color before, but the effect of wearing it on her body was always not as good as this set, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't want to freeze herself.
"It's still the eldest sister who looks good." Pei Miaoqing leaned over and praised, "How bright this color is, it's just right for this festival." ”
The two people between the sisters knew it, and the carriage moved forward slowly, and there were no more superfluous words along the way, and when they arrived at the palace gate, there were already eunuchs waiting.
Their faces were a little blue from the cold weather, Lan Yi asked Ning Fu to take out the prepared purse, gave one to them, and said, "A few people are waiting here, on a cold day, please drink some hot wine." ”
The little eunuchs had all heard of Lan Yi's domineering, and thought that picking up the Pei family was a chore, but they didn't expect that Miss Pei was much better looking than the rumors, and she spoke softly and kindly, and gave a reward when they met.
The little eunuch invited them all the way to Changfu Palace with a smile on his face, and said: "The concubine Niangniang said, if Miss Pei and the others come, they will come here first, and then follow Niangniang to Qihua Palace." ”
Lan Yi bowed his head, "Thank you father-in-law for leading the way." ”
And the palace maid of Changfu Palace had already greeted her after receiving the report, and after seeing Lan Yi, she saluted, "Niang Niang knows that several girls from the Fang family and the Pei family are here, and they are very happy, and it is also a coincidence, the second prince and the fourth prince are here, and they just went in to talk together." ”
Lan Yi's expression was grim, and he saluted slightly: "This sister, if the two princes are also here, we won't be able to go over, right?" It is the moment when the concubine and the prince get together, and we are afraid that we will disturb the joy of the family. ”
The palace maid smiled, "Niangniang said, Miss Pei is likely to refuse, this is the girl's etiquette, but since the concubine Niangniang summoned the girl to Changfu Palace, she didn't care about what to disturb or not, and asked the girl to go with the slave." ”
Pei Miaoqing couldn't wait to see the princes, so she hurriedly said: "The concubine has an order, but the eldest sister is disrespectful, let's go in, if it's late, it seems that we are rude and disrespectful." ”
Lan Yi was helpless and walked in with the palace maid. Changfu Palace is really the place where the favorite concubine lives, although it is cold in winter, but here is far more lively and clean than other places, the road is spotless, the rockery next to it is very smooth, as big as the wind lamp, as small as the window flower, you can see that it comes from the hand of the craftsman, exquisite and elegant.
Before he entered the main hall, he heard a soft laughter, and then a beautiful female voice came over, "Chang Ze will coax me to be happy as a mother, and when the time comes, I will marry a daughter-in-law, and I don't know if it can be like this." ”
And the voice of the fourth prince Wei Changze is very hearty and lively, "No matter who you marry, you must honor your mother and concubine with your sons, just like the second brother and two sisters-in-law, when there are two people coaxing your mother together, the mother will only be happier." ”
In a happy atmosphere, the palace maid with Lan Yi stepped forward and said, "Master, the four girls of the Pei family and the Fang family have arrived. ”
Lan Yi and the others hurriedly followed up to salute, "The courtiers see the noble concubine Niangniang, may the Niangniang be blessed and safe." ”
Concubine Ying sat at the top, with a smile that did not fade between her eyebrows, and when she swept over Lan Yi and everyone slightly, she smiled faintly, "Get up." On a cold day, the children came all the way to freeze the young and delicate little face, and went to the smoker cage to warm up. ”
Lan Yi was just about to thank her, but Pei Miaoqing next to her suddenly stepped forward, lowered her eyebrows and said: "Thank you Ying Guifei Niangniang for your kindness, the courtiers have to see such a noble person as Niangniang, their hearts are warm, and they don't feel cold at all." ”
Lan Yi sighed in her heart, thinking that Miaoqing was going to come out, so she would be fine, as long as the topic didn't turn to herself, she could do anything.
Concubine Ying is always touted, such a simple few words entered her ears, and she didn't raise her eyebrows, but said: "This little girl speaks well, dresses cleanly, and looks comfortable, if this palace remembers correctly, it is the second girl of the Pei family." ”
Pei Miaoqing was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to your mother, the courtiers are exactly." ”
Concubine Ying smiled faintly, "Master Pei is still very good at teaching her daughter, before this palace only saw your sister's cleverness, but ignored you." ”
Pei Miaoqing lowered her head, never looked at the princes more, very regular appearance, and said sweetly: "Thank you Niangniang for your praise, since the courtiers saw Niangniang, they only felt that Niangniang was peerless, and she was ashamed in front of Niangniang, so when I arrived at Changfu Palace today, I thought that I could stay by Niangniang's side for a while." ”
Ying Guifei snorted lightly, "This little mouth is sweet, and it looks like honey, and she looks good, she is really young, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate, not older than the palace, when I got up today, I saw a fine line on the corner of my eyes." ”
Pei Miaoqing's body stiffened like this, and her face was slightly flustered, "The courtiers looked at the concubine Niangniang, where is it like the mother of several princes, there is no better looking woman in the palace than you." ”
Concubine Ying smiled faintly, "That's not true, there are so many masters in the palace, how many have you seen?" ”
Pei Miaoqing was in a mess, she never expected that she would say too much and make a lot of mistakes, she was cold, and she didn't dare to say more, and Lan Yi, as an outsider, could only shake her head secretly, thinking that the second sister was really confused for a while, the palace maids around Ying Guifei were all not powdered, obviously she didn't like other women to dress up carefully in front of her, Pei Miaoqing had already hit a place she didn't like today, and she had to come out and show off her clever tongue, in the eyes of Ying Guifei, I am afraid that she is the same as the young masters in the palace who hook the emperor, How can you like it?
