Chapter 67: Ice Cream
Is this the daughter of Queen Tutoya? The concubine has long admired the name of the princess. ”
Tu Toya glanced at the Yu family, frowned and asked directly, "Who are you?" ”
The smile on Yu's face froze, and he didn't reply immediately. Li Jiangwei made a round on the side and said, "You haven't been in the capital for a long time, and the two of you shouldn't have seen each other." This sister is Concubine Yu on the palace of King Zhao. ”
"Side concubine? Concubine? ”
Concubine Yu's face changed slightly, but she still forced a smile, "Queen Tutoya is really as straightforward as the rumors. ”
"Tutoya is straightforward?" Tu Toya laughed at herself, pointed at Li Jiangwei and said, "Compared to this guy, it's far behind!" ”
Li Jiangwei smiled with a regular smile and did not reply. And her afterglow looked at Jiang Xuemian.
Jiang Xuemian stood aside, looking listless.
"Why don't you go to the pavilion in the garden with me first and wait for Princess Rui to arrive?"
"Okay!" Tutoya smiled, "Standing here anyway is standing." ”
Li Jiangwei led a few guests, along the corridor, through the arch, after crossing a small bridge, to an octagonal pavilion. The pavilion has prepared fragrant tea, melons and fruits, as well as some delicious snacks prepared by pear ink.
"This pastry smells so good!" Tu Toya was not polite to Li Jiangwei, and as soon as she sat down, she took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
"The smell!" Tu Tuya's eyes lit up, "It's a bit similar to the dim sum in the Ming Ke Building." ”
"The cook in the Mingke Building and a maid next to me are familiar with each other, and the two have changed recipes."
Yu Shi also took a piece of dim sum, and after tasting the taste, he was surprised: "This pastry is made by the maid next to Princess Qin?" This taste is not inferior to the imperial chef in the palace. ”
"I'll thank the concubine for the praise of the concubine."
Tu Duoya's elbow pushed against Li Jiangwei, and then pouted at Concubine Yu and Jiang Xuemian: "Look at how harmonious other people's wives are, why are you so careful?" ”
Jiang Xuemian's eyes flickered, and she clenched her fists.
Harmony? Jiang Xuemian sneered in her heart. After marrying into the palace of King Zhao, he lost two close friends in succession. That's it, as long as her husband is good to her, the days are not impossible.
But not long after I got married, I accepted this Yu family into the door. This Yu clan is quite tricky, Jiang Xuemian is not her opponent, and has been reprimanded by King Zhao many times. wrote a letter to cry to her father and mother about her grievances, and in turn was punished by her family, saying that she didn't know the general situation.
Later, after a long time, King Zhao began to dislike her, the princess, for not understanding human relations. The matter of going out to socialize was handed over to Yu for handling. and locked her in the house and called her sick.
Jiang Xuemian raised her eyes and looked at Li Jiangwei, who was bright-eyed, and saw that she was as beautiful as before. The concubine she looked down on back then has now become her concubine and the princess of Qin.
"I haven't congratulated Princess Qin on getting her wish." Jiang Xuemian said sarcastically: "Princess Qin has not lived up to her plans over the years. ”
"I don't know what Princess Zhao meant by the plan?"
"I heard that Princess Qin was still in the boudoir, so she secretly communicated with King Qin......"
Li Jiangwei looked at Jiang Xuemian with a smile and said, "I am different from the two of you, I once served as a companion by the emperor's side. The King of Qin has always been friendly with the Imperial Concubine, and he has met the King of Qin at the Imperial Concubine. The secret song is not counted, and if it is counted, it can only be regarded as acting on orders. ”
"Princess Qin is worthy of being the person who won the title of county lord with her literary talents." Jiang Xuemian said: "I can't talk about you." ”
"Today is a small gathering of our concubines, not a discussion between students, and there is no need to convince anyone with opinions."
"Since it's a relationship, why don't you ask Princess Qin to tell the two of us about the past two years? I'm very interested in things other than Yunjing. ”
Listening to Jiang Xuemian's words, Yu scolded in his heart. She had long known that Jiang Xuemian was a talker, but she didn't expect to rush like this today.
King Qin has just been assassinated, and you are not happy to rush to Princess Qin. If the emperor knew, how would he feel?
Yu Shi was about to say something else, bypassing this topic, but who expected Tu Toya to ask first: "These two years?" What did you do? I'm curious too! ”
"I went on a trip to learn materials, and then wrote a book of "Past Records". This copy of "Past Records" can be purchased in bookstores in Beijing, and if you are curious, I can give you a copy. ”
"I can't read it even if I send it, why don't you let Brother Qin read it to me?"
"Speaking of studying, who knows what to do?" Jiang Xuemian muttered quietly on the side: "Who knows if you provoked other men outside." ”
"With King Qin here, what kind of man can she fancy to. How can other men be as good as King Qin? ”
Tu Tu Ya's straightforward words made Jiang Xuemian's face darken all of a sudden.
When the atmosphere was stalemate, the maid led the people from Rui Wang's Mansion to come, and the people sitting in the pavilion got up one after another.
"What were you talking about?" The Song family was dressed in an azure gown, which was lined with extraordinarily elegant, "Our Royal Highness went down to pick up the seventh princess, and I came later." ”
The little girl led by the Song family saluted Li Jiangwei and shouted in a glutinous voice: "I've seen Princess Qin." ”
Everyone greeted each other and sat down.
The seventh princess was petite and cute, with baby fat on her face, and her round eyes looked at the ladies present.
"The sisters-in-law are good-looking, especially the fourth sister-in-law."
Li Jiangwei was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Princess Xie Qi praises." ”
Ning Yingluo raised her eyebrows and glanced at Li Jiangwei, and the corners of her mouth hooked. And Jiang Xuemian on the side saw Ning Yingluo, but her expression was complicated.
"It's been a hot day lately, so I made some ice in the kitchen."
"Ice products." Ning Yingluo, who was wearing a jujube red rhombus gown, looked particularly delicate, and her casual opening attracted everyone's attention, "I'm afraid I don't have this mouth." ”
Yu asked, "Why?" ”
"My Kwai Shui came a few days late, I'm afraid I have it."
Yu Shi was taken aback and said with a smile: "This is a great joy!" ”
Ning Yingluo happily stroked her flat lower abdomen and looked at Li Jiangwei ostentatiously. Jiang Xuemian looked at Ning Yingluo sluggishly, and she suddenly felt that Ning Yingluo's smile was a little dazzling.
Li Jiangwei said with a smile: "If Concubine Ning can conceive an heir, she will be the eldest grandson of the emperor." ”
"This is the emperor's first grandson, and he will be very happy."
"yes." Jiang Xuemian said solemnly: "It's a pity that this kid is too ...... first."
Jiang Xuemian was halfway through her words, and was secretly elbowed by Yu's and immediately stopped.
"What? What first? Tutoya didn't know it, and asked on the side.
If the first prince is alive, this Concubine Ning is the crown princess. The children of the crown princess and the children of a side concubine have very different statuses.
Ning Yingluo's face changed slightly, and her smile almost couldn't be saved.
"You women in the Central Plains are really troublesome."
Seeing that no one replied, Tutoya felt a little bored with herself, and took a piece of dim sum to tease the seventh princess.
