293 Loss of Honor (26)
An Ping was still silent.
For the emperor, Anping is just a dying struggle, there is nothing to be afraid of, let alone to worry about.
The emperor smiled and rewarded Geng Tinglian, and let her retreat.
These two girls let him watch such a good show today, he deserves to be rewarded!
Geng Tinglian bowed respectfully and thanked her, and then eagerly returned to the side of the Duchess of Weiguo. Others may not have noticed, but she knows that the landscape painting on the skirt has gradually faded, and the thicker the moisture, the more powerful it will be rendered......
It won't be long before the dress will be dirty and hard to look at, but she will wear it until after the flower feast, and then walk back to the palace where she lives...... Everyone will see her most embarrassed.
"Sister Lian," Duchess Wei Guo put on a goose-yellow cloak for her daughter distressedly, and she didn't dare to make noise in front of the palace, so she could only lower her voice to comfort her daughter, "It's okay." However, the people of this Duanmu family are too ignorant of the rules! What the hell does this Duanmu Fourth Girl think of you?! ”
The more Duchess Wei Guo talked, the more dissatisfied she became, if it weren't for her son's infatuation with Duanmujun, Duchess Weiguo really couldn't look down on people with mud legs like the Duanmu family.
She came to the flower banquet this time, in fact, she also took a fancy to a few girls, all of them are gentle and virtuous, and they are completely different from the sharp-toothed and unscrupulous Duanmujun, which is a good candidate for the stepfamily.
Geng Tinglian's gaze shot at Duanmu Fei like a sharp arrow, and said in a low voice like a mosquito: "I won't just forget it." ”
Duchess Wei Guo saw that her daughter was becoming more and more distressed, pulled her daughter to sit down, patted her hand gently, and comforted: "Of course." It can't just be left at that! ”
Geng Tinglian responded softly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, returning to the elegant and calm girl she usually recalled, but her mood was still fluctuating violently: today she lost to Duanmufei's grandstanding again, even if her paintings are not inferior to her, but because she can't build momentum for herself, she is a bad move.
She always "underestimates" the other party, so much so that she pushes herself into a passive situation.
Speaking of which, she didn't lose to Duanmufei, she lost to herself!
Geng Tinglian looked at Duanmu Fei without blinking, and her heart surged even more intensely, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Duanmu Fei paid attention to Geng Tinglian at all, she was busy getting angry with the little fox, one person and one fox staring at each other.
She had only been gone for a while, and the stupid greedy fox had eaten up all the fruit on her plate. She couldn't imagine that its small body could hold so much fruit?!
Won't you break your belly?!
Duanmu Fei continued to stare at it, wondering if he should help it rub its little belly, or find a doctor to show it?
After a while, the well-fed little fox yawned lazily, curled up on her knees, and fell asleep in less than five breaths.
Duanmu Fei was still staring at it "fiercely", and continued to stare at it, introspecting in his heart: Tuanzi was obviously very well-behaved when he first came, why did he start to move closer to Xiaoba? Is this their problem, or is it their own problem?
She was thinking absentmindedly when the little fox, which was pretending to be asleep on her lap, suddenly moved again, jumped violently, and then jumped lightly to the ground......
Duanmu Fei's gaze subconsciously chased after it, but found that a shadow hung over her behind her. Her brows moved, she vaguely guessed something, and looked up—
Sure enough, Feng Yan came.
That's why the dumplings are like seeing a ghost.
Duanmufei looked down at the little fox in a complicated way, only to see that it flexibly jumped into the flower basket on the side, rummaged through the basket of flowers, bit out a fruit, and then crawled back to Duanmufei's knee three or two times, and spit the fruit into Duanmufei's hand obediently.
Duanmu Fei looked at the wet fruit in his palm, and his little face was a little indescribable.
"What's wrong with Dango?" Han Xing and Wu Yang also came over at some point, looking at the little fox on Duanmu's knees.
Duanmu Fei did not hide it for it, and "made public" its behavior.
Han Xing looked at the little fox with "pity" and said jokingly: "Poor Tuanzi, why don't you still follow this palace?" The fruit is full! ”
The little fox opened a pair of ice-blue fox eyes and looked at them innocently, very well-behaved.
Looking at the plush appearance of the little thing, several girls felt very fond of it, Wuyang's heart moved, and said to the emperor and queen in front of him with a smile: "Father, mother, and sons, I want to go out to play for a while." ”
Beside Wuyang, Han Xing, Dangui, Yunhua and Duanmu Fei all looked forward to it, and their eyes were shining.
The queen was a little helpless, so she could only look at the emperor beside her, wanting to ask what he meant.
"You kids, let's go play." The emperor was in a good mood today, and he didn't care about these false courtesies, so he waved his hand and said, "It's hard to go out of Beijing to play, don't be restrained, go!" As he spoke, the emperor's gaze full of deep meaning lingered between Duanmu Fei and Feng Yan for a while, silently.
Duanmu Fei shuddered when she saw it, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood upside down again, and she suddenly remembered that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor seemed to look at her with such eyes.
But she didn't do anything strange.
Duanmu Fei hugged the little fox and followed Wuyang and Feng Yan out of Wangchun Pavilion in confusion.
Wuyang and they left, this hall is still very lively, a girl in purple is skillfully playing the Yao Zheng under her fingers, the sound of the Zheng is like a spring pouring out, tactful and pleasant, but the queen is excited.
She took great pains to hold this flower-viewing banquet in order to choose a horse for Wuyang, but now her son-in-law can't choose it, even if anyone is brilliant, the queen can't see it. Hey, they all say that "the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married", but she is worried!
The queen drank the tea absentmindedly, and Duanmu Guifei was also a little stunned, she was already optimistic about two or three sons, and was about to call Han Xing over to ask well, but in the blink of an eye, her daughter ran away with her eldest sister?!
The corners of Duanmu Guifei's eyes twitched slightly, and she said in her heart: Hanxing, this girl is really not a worry-free person, obviously she said last time that she wanted to show her others, she was still very happy, and her eyebrows fluttered and she said that she should take a good look, and now she will take care of it and forget all about it? !
Hey, this girl keeps saying that she is older, and she is clearly like a child.
Duanmu Guifei felt that her breath was blocked in her chest, and she was about to take a sip of tea, when the corner of her eyes suddenly passed by the He family not far away, and remembered that after she arrived at Hanfang Garden, she had not spoken to the He family alone, so she beckoned and ordered the palace maid.
The palace maid immediately called the He family to Duanmu Guifei's side, and after He Shi performed half a salute, she sat down next to Duanmu Guifei and looked at her daughter with a smile. She is also worried that she has no chance to talk to her daughter alone, and their mother and daughter really have a good heart.
"Mother," Duanmu Guifei said to the He clan in a low voice, glancing in the direction of He Lingyi, "I deliberately talked to Sister Yi for a while yesterday, and I think she is not suitable, you should discuss it with your father after you return to Beijing, and then choose another person." Brother Heng will end up this year, he will definitely be able to lift people, young people, and he will come from the Shoufu Mansion, with me and the eldest prince to support him, what good girls can't be found, I'm afraid Sister Yi is not worthy. ”
After a pause, Duanmu Guifei added: "If you are looking for a daughter-in-law for Brother Heng, you should find Sister Heng'er who is so atmospheric, capable, and neat, so that she can teach her husband and children in the future and prop up the lintel of Duanmu's house." ”
When He Shi listened, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly froze, and he felt as if he had been slapped in the face by his daughter, which was so hot that it hurt.
It's not the first time that He has heard this kind of similar words, and Duanmu Xian has also said it to her.
Their father and daughter are really of the same heart!
Duanmuxian didn't want to think about it, he relied on the He family to rise step by step, and he achieved the position of first assistant all the way; The concubine didn't want to think about it, if she wasn't the granddaughter of the He family and the niece of the Empress Dowager He, how could she be promoted to a concubine after the emperor ascended the throne.
He was so angry that the corners of his forehead were beating, and he wanted to train his daughter so that she could not forget her roots, but after the words came to her mouth, she still gritted her teeth and swallowed back.
She has more important things, and she must not mess with her daughter now.
He Shi took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said patiently: "I will think about this matter again." ”
Duanmu Guifei has been in the palace for so many years, and what she has learned the most is to observe words and looks, and when she looks at He's expression and tone, she knows that He is just casually perfunctory.
Duanmu Guifei's eyes flashed slightly, she felt a little tired, and she didn't want to talk to He Shi anymore about He Lingyi, anyway, it was just a waste of words.
Hey, although it is not in accordance with the rules, she will ask Han Xing to quietly hand over a letter to Duanmu's house next time to give it to her father.
With a determination in her heart, Duanmu Guifei had nothing to say to the He family. The eldest prince has already gone to the south, and it is not appropriate to ask his father again now if he agrees to the marriage, and only hopes that the war in the south will end as soon as possible.
Duanmu Guifei thought about it, and casually talked to the He family, asking her if she could get used to living in Hanfang Garden and eating it.
He Shi casually responded with a few sentences, and then asked casually: "Guifei Niangniang, it has been almost a month since the eldest prince set off, but there is news here, how are others?" ”
Speaking of the eldest prince, Duanmu Guifei frowned slightly, and a look of worry faintly appeared in her eyes: "I only received a letter, saying that I arrived in Jiangnan on the fifth day of the new year......"
"Then the eldest prince is going to the south, and there is someone around him to 'serve'?" He asked eagerly.
Duanmu Guifei had one thing to say: "The emperor went south with the eunuch who served him personally and the two companions. ”
Seeing that Duanmu Guifei understood, He leaned into her ear and whispered, "I mean, people who know cold and heat, and wait closely." The seven girls of Guiyi Bofu are gentle and virtuous, considerate and supple, if she goes to the south to serve the eldest prince, she wants to come properly and thoughtfully. ”
Duanmu Guifei's face changed instantly.
How could she not hear that the He family wanted the seven girls of the Jin family to be concubines for the eldest prince and serve them closely!
The eldest prince is the prince, and the many concubines around him are nothing, but the eldest prince is going to the south to fight this time, and he is going to the battlefield with his concubines, what does that look like? ! How will the eldest prince deal with himself in the army in the future?!
Others will only regard him as the prince who went to mix military merits, and when it reaches the ears of the emperor, what will the emperor think?
Duanmu Guifei's eyes are getting deeper and more complicated, others don't know, but she knows that the eldest prince is ambitious, so she will invite herself to go south regardless of the danger, and want to make a contribution.
How did her mother get so confused......
Duanmu Fei looked at He Shi in disappointment, and He Shi saw that his daughter did not express his position, so he persuaded again: "Guifei, the eldest prince is thousands of miles away, and he can't come back for a year and a half, my grandmother is distressed......"
"Enough!" Duanmu Guifei couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but interrupt the He family with a loud voice.
Duanmu Guifei's emotions were too excited, and she accidentally raised her voice, which attracted several curious glances from all around, including the emperor.
Duanmu Guifei chuckled in her heart, hurriedly stood up, and bent her knees to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine for her disgrace, it was the concubine's mother who wanted the concubine to choose a daughter-in-law for her nephew Brother Heng, but this was not in accordance with the rules, so the concubine stopped shouting." Duanmu Guifei's reaction was extremely fast, and she came up with a reason to deal with it in a few breaths.
He also stood up and admitted his mistake in fear.
