Chapter 18: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (3)

Fortunately, Wei Changze likes to look at beauties, and when he saw Pei Miaoqing looking good, he couldn't bear to see her panic, so he opened his mouth to solve the siege, "If it weren't for the identity of the mother concubine there, saying that it was the sisters of these four girls, some people would believe it, although the second girl Pei had never seen other ladies in the palace, but looking at the mother concubine was so beautiful, of course you were the first, and it was not wrong." ”

No matter how flamboyant his son is, Concubine Ying likes it, and snuggles him twice, "You, you're really a monkey." I didn't want to say more to Pei Miaoqing next, so I just raised my chin and looked at Lan Yi's side, "Your name is Wanyin, right?" ”

Fang Wanyin was looking at the excitement, but the topic suddenly turned to herself, and she stood out in fear, "If you go back to your mother, Wanyin is the name of the courtier's daughter." ”

Concubine Ying no longer looked at her, but looked at the second prince on the side, "Wan Yin was born strangely weak, you see her chin is pointy, isn't it?" ”

But it turned out that before they entered the palace, the second prince and Concubine Ying talked about the matter of accepting the side concubine, and said that the daughter of the Fang family is not bad, in recent years, the Fang family and the Pei family have been watching and helping each other, although they have been patrolling outside for a long time, but they are very trusted by the emperor, if they marry the Fang family, it will be much cheaper to seek benefits in the local area in the future, if Pei Lan does not know how to lift, it is okay to accept Fang Wanyin.

Naturally, there are so many Ying Guifei's eyeliner in the palace, Wei Changjue has an extra sachet and the sachet is a gift from Fang Wanyu has long been found out, Wei Changyuan is such an arrogant person, of course he will not consider the woman who has the plague god of the third child in his heart.

However, at this moment, Ying Guifei picked Wanyin out to speak, and when she saw the cowardly look on her face, she didn't like it at first, plus she was very weak, and she didn't look like she was easy to raise, so Ying Guifei pointed it out directly, which meant that she was not very satisfied.

The second prince Wei Changyuan was really born with a lofty body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, sitting there has a kind of temperament that is not angry and arrogant, he is already in his twenties, compared to Wan Yin Lanyi, a girl who has just passed the age of Xuan, he looks very mature.

I heard that Wei Changyuan has been loved by the current saint since he was a child, and he was taught by the saint himself in reading, riding and shooting, so now I can see that he still has a cocoon on his hand that has been grinding out by touching the reins all year round.

Hearing his mother's comment, Wei Changyuan answered first, then looked at Wan Yin and asked, "What does Miss Fang usually like to do at home?" Your cousin Miss Pei has a lively and interesting temperament, is Miss Fang also very similar to her? ”

Lan Yi kept her head down, but when she heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

How could a foreign man come up and ask a woman such a thing, and the other party is still a prince, has Concubine Ying never taught him the etiquette of treating women?

Where did she know, just like that, Wei Changyuan still felt that he was gentle and kind enough, he was a prince who participated in politics, and he knew that as long as he had the power in his hands, a woman could have as much as she wanted, and he could ask about such trivial things as his daughter's family to understand in advance, and he thought that he had already given face to the Fang family.

But this question is really bitter Wan Yin, she is a gourd without a mouth outside, at this time thinking that she can't slander Lan Yi, and she can't despise herself, her brain can't turn, she almost cried urgently, and only after a while did she reply with a swollen red face: "Back to His Royal Highness King Qi's words...... Courtiers...... Courtiers and cousins have different temperaments...... The cousin is funny and cute, and the courtiers like to be quiet, and do more female red needlework at home. ”

With just one sentence, the further he said, the quieter his voice became, Wei Changyuan crossed her off the list of candidates in his heart, and he was very disappointed to think, this Fang Wanyin is so unatmospheric, and Pei Lanyi is really a world of difference, in a place like the palace, what is the use of being weak? Who is the weak text for?

"There are too many quiet people in the Qi Palace, it seems that Miss Fang is not suitable in terms of temperament and appearance, and it is more suitable to marry a small family." He said it so bluntly that he didn't care about Fang Wanyin at all, and tears were rolling in his eyes with embarrassment.

Lan Yi lowered his head, looking at his cousin's patience, his body trembled slightly, like a little beast trembling in winter, his heart was extremely distressed, and the ensuing anger rushed to his head.

Not to mention that Cousin Wanyin is a serious official daughter, she has never seen many foreign men in her life, just saying that she has always acted politely and knows how to advance and retreat, she should not be insulted like this, and it is not a good piece of jewelry, put it there and let others choose and comment, she is a living person, that is, what do you really think, and wait for them to leave?

Lan Yi has been thinking about not causing trouble, but at this moment she really couldn't hold back, stepped forward to hide Wanyin behind her, and said calmly after saluting: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the courtiers and cousins are all from small families, and they are shocked by the heavenly prestige on His Royal Highness, and they can't speak a little, but the girl has a good face, and the courtiers implore you not to talk about your cousin in person, you are a gentleman, a big husband who stands up to the sky, and you won't really worry about the courtiers, right?" ”

The words blurted out, almost without much thought, Lan Yi felt that Concubine Ying's gaze was fixed on her, and she was inexplicably covered in a cold sweat, but the words were out, she would not flinch, just stood there quietly.

Wei Changyuan narrowed his eyes, and after his gaze wandered over Lan Yi, he glanced at Concubine Ying again.

The mother and son have the same mind, and they all think: Sure enough, the eldest daughter of the Pei family is powerful, and the position of the concubine of King Qi is really good for such talents.

The scene was a little quiet for a while, and finally the fourth prince Wei Changze broke it, "This sister of the Pei family is very good at talking, and she was born so beautifully, mother concubine, why don't you go and ask your father for a favor and let her be your son's concubine!" ”

Wei Changze and Wei Changyuan have some similarities in appearance, but when he speaks, his eyebrows are dancing freely, which is very different from his own brother. He was born in the same year as the third prince Wei Changjue, and after this year, he was nineteen years old, and the princes of this dynasty have always been late in opening the mansion and building teeth, and most of the nineteen-year-old princes have been trained in the court for two or three years.

Ying Guifei scolded with a smile: "When will you be able to change your problem of praising one by one?" First of all, you said that you like the little girl of the Mu family, and this palace and your father also mentioned this matter, if it is settled, and then you will be so nonsense in the future, let your daughter-in-law take care of you. ”

Wei Changze didn't really mean that, and after enlivening the scene, he continued to say nice things to make Concubine Ying happy, and for a while, there was a lot of laughter in the Changfu Palace, but he left the girls of the Pei Fang family.

And Wei Changyuan accompanied him for a while, got up and saluted Concubine Ying, and said, "Mother, the son over there in Qihua Palace still has to go to see it, today's heavenly feast is not to be missed." ”

Concubine Ying hurriedly said: "Right now, your father and the emperor are reusing you, you have to pay more attention to everything, but don't be tired of yourself, the palace is almost over after changing clothes, you go first." ”

Wei Changyuan said again: "These girls, let the son take them over, stay in Changfu Palace, and the mother concubine will also have inconvenience." ”

Concubine Ying nodded, "It's okay." ”

Lan Yi hurriedly took the lead in saluting, "The courtiers and others will retire first." ”

Coming out of the Changfu Palace, the whole body was much more relaxed, Lan Yi asked Wan Yin in a low voice if she felt better, Wan Yin bit her lip and said, "It's that I'm not angry, I'm afraid that I will affect you." ”

"What's there?" Lan Yi smiled slightly, "Between our sisters, it's not interesting to say that it's not even involved." ”

They all kept a certain distance from Wei Changyuan, and naturally they were not worried that their small voices would be heard. Pei Miaoqing originally wanted to behave well in front of Concubine Ying, but she was inexplicably stolen the limelight by Lan Yi, and she was very unhappy in her heart, so she couldn't help but say: "Eldest sister didn't see the eyes of Concubine Ying, listen to my sister's advice, it may not be a good thing to come out at any time." ”

"Whoever comes out of the way, whoever has eyes knows it in their hearts." Lan Yi knew that she was no better than Pei Miaoyun, she was a well-spoken person, and it was very boring to argue on the palace road, so she just smiled faintly and replied with no more words.

Wan Yu regretted that she didn't react just now to stand up for her sister, in the end, her vision is different, although she and Lan Yi, a child who grew up in the capital, have a somewhat exposed temperament, but on serious occasions, she can see the gap when she acts right, and now she can finally speak, but her momentum is weaker than usual.

"Sister Miaoqing, don't talk about Sister Lan Yi, our two families are both prosperous and lossy, this principle can also be used in us, it is my sister who is being criticized today, maybe it will be your turn tomorrow, Sister Lan Yi is like this, but it has stopped this momentum."

Pei Miaoqing only had one mouth, but there were three people on the other side, she knew very well the truth that two fists are invincible to four hands, and she was apprehensive about what happened just now, so she immediately restrained her temper and smiled softly: "I'm just reminding the eldest sister, why don't I understand what you said Wanyu?" Today we are all in this house, and we have to help each other. ”

After that, there was nothing else between the four girls, and they followed Wei Changyuan and his party all the way to the front of Qihua Palace, seeing that Wei Changyuan stopped, as if he was explaining something, Lan Yi took the sisters up to salute, and said: "Thank you for the guidance of the second prince, the courtiers went in first." ”

Wei Changyuan nodded, Lan Yi was about to leave, but he heard him say, "Miss Pei, wait a minute, the second miss and the two young ladies of the Fang family will go in first." ”

Lan Yi's heart tightened, this is in the Forbidden Palace, and it is okay for someone next to them to talk when the two of them are talking, but Wei Changyuan separates them, in case they are seen by someone with a heart, or if the other party has any inappropriate behavior, and something is passed out, she really jumps into the Yellow River and can't wash it away.

Wan Yin hesitated, these hesitations mainly came from the fear of the second prince, she was afraid that Lan Yi would suffer, and thought about it: "Otherwise, the courtiers are waiting for Lan Yi in the door?" The courtiers in the palace are not familiar with it, and they are really ......"

"Come, come here, take them in." Wei Changyuan casually ordered a little eunuch and directly interrupted Wan Yin's words, "Lan Yi hasn't been to the palace a few times, and she is not familiar with her, so I can send someone to guide you." ”

The little eunuch was very eye-catching, bowed and said, "A few girls go with the slaves." ”

Wan Yin had no choice but to salute and leave, and Pei Miaoqing wanted to stay but couldn't, glanced at Wei Changyuan lightly, and then turned around and walked inside.

Wei Changyuan naturally didn't miss this slap, looking at Lan Yi, he laughed inexplicably, he waved his hand to signal the people next to him to disperse, and said, "You, the second sister, seem to be interested in me." ”

Lan Yi lowered her head and said calmly: "My second sister is gentle and gentle by nature, and if a slave or maid gets into trouble on weekdays, she won't be angry. ”

Wei Changyuan looked at her appearance of not getting oil and salt, and a trace of dryness rose inexplicably in his heart, and he suddenly didn't want to make any more detours, and asked directly: "I think you have heard those rumors, I do have the intention of accepting you as a side concubine, you understand very well, this is a grace that many people can't ask for, I like to do sure things, if you agree, I can settle this matter in front of my father tonight, but I don't want the kind of ridiculous thing in Jinyufang to happen to you in the future." ”

Lan Yi was silent for a while, not raising his head, but his tone was much firmer, "His Royal Highness King Qi, when you said this, you didn't think I would disagree, did you?" You're not here to ask for my ideas, just to inform me? ”

"Or else?" Wei Changyuan was a little surprised, "Who would refuse this kind of thing?" ”

Lan Yi's heart was originally as noisy as beating a drum, she didn't know how far Wei Changyuan would be offended by today's words, the man in front of her was very likely to be the future Son of Heaven, if she took revenge for personal gain in the future, Pei Mansion couldn't resist it.

But the previous things turned in her heart, she really didn't want to be in the company of people like Ying Guifei Wei Changyuan, thinking that she could only live forever in the future, she felt suffocated.

Finally settled, Lan Yi raised his head slightly, "I will." ”

Wei Changyuan frowned, he had never been pushed like this.

Lan Yi hurriedly said: "The position next to His Royal Highness King Qi is naturally sought after by many women, but the courtiers have been taught by their mothers not to be concubines since they were children. Most of His Royal Highness didn't know that before her death, the courtier's mother held the courtier's hand and said this sentence repeatedly, if the courtier's daughter violated her last wishes, it was really unfilial. The courtiers had said this to the concubine Niangniang before, and it was not perfunctory. ”

"But the concubines of my Qi Palace, how can they be compared to other concubines?"

Lan thought that he just didn't understand what he meant, so he could only be silent.

Wei Changyuan was already a little impatient, and said coldly: "If you don't enter the Qi Palace, although this king will not be able to deal with the entire Pei family about such a trivial matter, your reputation will be ruined." This king is well-intentioned, thinking that you are willing, you will naturally be more amiable and well-behaved. In fact, if you really want to accept the side concubine and let the mother concubine ask for the holy decree, I can't help you say anything. You don't want to be spoiled, what kind of concubine is in front of this king. This king picks the rest, do you think there are still people who dare to marry to be the main house? ”
