Chapter 66: Ladies and Gentlemen
Li Jiangwei, who was wrapped in the futon, turned over, and the coldness of her fingertips made her open her eyes suddenly. The light was dazzling, and Li Jiangwei slowed down for a while and yawned before waking up. Li Jiangwei's eyes stared at the empty bed beside her, and she was stunned.
The curtain was lifted, and Chu Yongyi probed in. Li Jiangwei propped herself up and looked at him. Those wet eyes, Yu Yongyi's heart jumped.
"It's noon, don't look at me like that." Yu Yongyi smiled: "I'm afraid I'll toss you." β
Li Jiangwei tilted her head and rubbed the corners of her forehead with her hands.
"How long did I sleep?"
The room was bright, not like the morning sun.
"It's time for lunch."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Yu Yongyi sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Li Jiangwei into her arms, and said softly: "Isn't this to see that you are sleepy?" β
The night before yesterday, Li Jiangwei didn't sleep all night, and went to the princess's mansion again yesterday, but failed to catch up on sleep in time. When I came back at night, I was tossed by Yu Yongyi for a while, and my bones were tossed and scattered.
"I see that you slept soundly, and I didn't give up."
Li Jiangwei's whole person looked listless, Zhen Yongyi looked distressed, and asked again, "Do you want to sleep for a while?" β
"No, I'm hungry ......"
Yu Yongyi smiled lightly and coaxed softly: "Then hurry up." Take advantage of these two days to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the Qin Palace, and in a few days I will invite your concubine to come over. β
Li Jiangwei's unclean sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
"What do you say? Want to bring in other princesses? β
As soon as the words came out, Li Jiangwei remembered that after lunch yesterday, she had a conversation with Princess Shouchang Liuyu Yongyi. It is estimated that the matter of inviting the princes and princesses will be mentioned with Yu Yongyi.
"I don't want you to work so hard, but staying in Beijing, the communication you should have is indispensable. Take this opportunity to inquire about the news from King Zhao and King Rui for me. β
King Rui is the title of the fifth prince Chu Yongheng.
"Ah Yi is ready to attack them?"
"Even if I don't have any interest in the throne, I have to guard against them. I don't want another assassination to make you a widow. β
Yu Yongyi hugged Li Jiangwei tightly and took a deep breath through her nose.
"It's still comfortable to hold you. It's too tiring to deal with them. β
"If outsiders see you, they will say that you are not promising."
"I'm already a prince, how else can I get out?"
Yu Yongyi, who was still giggling and laughing just now, suddenly became solemn. Li Jiangwei sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and gently stroked Yu Yongyi's back.
"Sometimes it's just like that, and it feels like I could sit all day. I can't even imagine me arguing with you. β
Li Jiangwei chuckled, "What? Are you afraid of being too stable? β
"It's not...... It's just a sudden feeling. β
"I can figure out what we're going to fight about."
Yu Yongyi let go of her hand, sat up straight, pulled Li Jiangwei to look at each other and asked, "What could it be?" β
"When you and I need to fight hard for something, we probably have a fight. In the end, no one can convince anyone, so they can only let the other party take risks. β
"If I go before you, will you miss me?"
"No, it won't."
Yu Yongyi was a little angry, and the hand holding Li Jiangwei's wrist unconsciously increased her strength.
"If you're gone, I'll go home to my parents and never come back."
"Don't you think about it!"
Li Jiangwei held Yu Yongyi with her backhand, then put on her shoes and pulled her up from the bed.
"It's early days, don't always think about whether you have these or not. Invitation...... You still say it in advance to the emperor, and the emperor of the province thinks more. β
"I still have that bit of proportion. Later, I will ask Gonggong Zheng to give you the information of the princesses, you can take a look first. β
"Okay."
After lunch, Yu Yongyi returned to the study to handle official business. Li Jiangwei got the news from Gonggong Zheng, so she went to the pavilion in the garden to sit and read.
King Zhao's princess Jiang is barely an acquaintance, and she has dealt with Li Jiangwei a lot before leaving the cabinet. After marrying King Zhao, he lived in the mansion and rarely came out to socialize except for palace banquets.
However, it is a side concubine of Queen Zhao, Yu, who often appears outside. This is located in the clan, is the daughter of Yu Feng Hao, the left waiter of the ministry, and was a long-sleeved and good dancing lady before leaving the cabinet.
The concubine Song in the palace of King Rui is the daughter of the British prince and the niece of the current queen. The Song family was extremely low-key before leaving the cabinet and rarely appeared. I only know that she is a dignified and elegant noblewoman, but as for her literary talent and appearance, few people have an impression.
The side concubine Ning is the opposite of the Song family, as the daughter of Ning Xiang Ning Hongzhen, the fiancΓ©e of the former prince, she was in the limelight before leaving the cabinet. When the noblewoman in Beijing learned that she was the concubine of King Rui, many people felt sorry for her.
On the day of the confession, Jiang Xuemian was unwell and did not enter the palace. All these years have passed, and I don't know what this familiar acquaintance looks like now.
As for Ning Yingluo...... Thinking of her former frame-up, I feel irritable.
Yu Yongyi not only invited several princesses and side concubines, but also invited Chu Yongrui and Chu Yongheng together. When she heard the news, she came with Azi and Tutoya.
"Just take your seventh sister with you! You brothers and sisters are going to have fun together! β
On the day when Yu Yongyi reported to the emperor, he could only smile when he got this sentence.
The original small gathering suddenly became lively.
Li Jiangwei is in charge for the first time, and managing these affairs is a bit of a rush. Fortunately, Princess Heshou called a grandmother in advance to come over, help her, and point out from the side.
On the day the banquet began, Li Jiangwei finally got to see the princesses and side concubines.
The first to come was the Zhao Wang family. When the maid in the house brought Jiang Xuemian and the Yu family over, Li Jiangwei was secretly shocked in her heart.
Li Jiangwei couldn't equate this haggard, slightly melancholy Jiang with the former vigorous and willful round-faced Jiang Xuemian.
Jiang Xuemian led the Yu family and saluted Li Jiangwei in a proper manner. After getting Li Jiangwei's return gift, he no longer paid attention to Li Jiangwei. It was Yu Shi who played a fan and talked to Li Jiangwei affectionately.
"In the past, I only knew that the peony on General Feng's Mansion was a must-have in Beijing, but I didn't expect that the peony in King Qin's Mansion was so amazing."
"Your Highness likes it, so I asked the Feng family for a few to raise. can be liked by people, and it is not in vain for the hard work of the florists. β
"This flower can be raised in the Qin Palace, which is the blessing of the flower!"
With Yu Shi easing the atmosphere, Li Jiangwei breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Yu Yongqing came with Azi and Tutoya. Azi and Yu Yongyi stayed in front, and Tutoya was the only one who followed the maid to the garden to meet Li Jiangwei.
"Hey! Do you remember Tutoya? β
Tutoya was still wearing a long fiery red dress, and the red feathers hung quietly on her waist. The skirt of this red dress is layered, like a blooming prosperity. The bodice is short-sleeved, revealing smooth arms, and a wide gold bracelet on the wrist.
Yu swept over Tu Toya's dress, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.
