Chapter 131: The Banquet
It's just that the position of the deputy commander of the forbidden army is too special, and in the past half a day, the talk of being on standby has almost spread all over the place.
In this case, it is really not appropriate to publicize it.
A small one, with this meaning, it will become.
Jiang Ji also thought the same way, and sighed: "The capital is good, but it's not good, and the border is not good, but it's good." ”
Jiang Lingran understood what he meant, and said: "The intrigue and tricks at the border pass are not necessarily less than those in Jingzhong. ”
And at the border pass, the imperial power is far away, and the general of one side is often the emperor of the soil, if he convicts anyone, seven or eight out of ten will be a death case.
Thinking about her previous life, Jiang Lingran felt that the capital was the place that made her feel more at ease.
"Brother, don't worry, I will take care of the house and tell them to be cautious in their words and deeds."
Jiang Ji smiled and rubbed her head: "Sister, don't worry, I will be careful." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
It took a few days to agree on the list of banquets with Wan Boniang.
Yan Liangyi knew about this, and waited for most of the day without waiting for her post, guessing that Jiang Lingran must have missed her, so she hurriedly sent a little eunuch to ask.
The little eunuch soon came back and also brought back Jiang Lingran's post to Yan Liangyi.
Yan Liangyi took the post and went to Chengqian Palace happily.
The queen read the post and saw that it was written about a warm house, and secretly praised the rigor of the Jiang family brothers and sisters.
He glanced at Yan Liangyi, who was full of expectations, and said, "People invited you, so you should naturally go, but I don't worry about you." ”
Yan Liangyi was helpless, how old is she, what can she worry about going to a banquet?
"The queen mother always looks down on people, and when I walked out of the palace gate, it was the demeanor of the princess, and I promised not to embarrass you."
How could the queen not know her?
Seeing that she almost patted her chest as a guarantor, she was funny and helpless, and said: "That's not possible, you need to find someone to watch you." ”
Yan Liangyi's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "I'll find my brother to accompany me." ”
The queen glared at her with disgust: "Nonsense, your brother is a man, and he is also seated in the front yard when he goes, how can he take care of you?" After saying that, he thought about it and said, "Find your imperial sister-in-law to accompany you." ”
In Yan Liangyi's heart, Bai Fu and Yan Qi are as close as each other, and they readily agreed.
The queen asked people to send a message to the crown princess.
When the crown princess learned about it, she sent her maid Yingcai to ask Jiang Lingran about the preparations for the banquet, and generously said that she had difficulties to explain.
After thinking about it, Jiang Lingran personally wrote a post and sent it to the prince's mansion respectfully.
In such a situation, once the crown princess was invited, there was no reason to leave King Rui and Princess Xiang behind.
There are no female dependents in the palace, so you have to go back and ask your brother to make up the post or invite her verbally.
Originally, it was just an ordinary small banquet, and the invitations were all familiar mansions, but now not only the crown princess and Princess Rui received the post and said that they would participate, but even the princess of Xiang, who has always been self-contained and does not like to interact with various mansions, also received the post.
Coming out of the Xiangwang Mansion, Jiang Lingran went to Wanfu with a headache.
Mrs. Wan also understood the original intention of Jiang Ji's brothers and sisters to hold a low-key banquet, and now she couldn't hold it anymore, so she said: "Since this is the case, I simply invite a few more high-grade ladies to accompany her." ”
This is also the meaning of ginger zero dyeing.
The two of them deliberated and gave a few more posts.
Mrs. Wan looked at her worried appearance, smiled and said with relief: "It's a good thing to be valued by nobles." ”
Jiang Lingran naturally knew that it was a good thing.
But she is also afraid of the tree.
After leaving Wanjia, Jiang Lingran went to Jiang Sanshu's house to pick up Jiang Yanle.
Two days ago, they sent a message back, but Jiang Sanshu and the others were worried that they were busy, Jiang Yanle came to make trouble, and said that she would be allowed to stay after the banquet in a few days.
Jiang Lingran is planning for Jiang Yanle's future.
Staying by her side every day, the people and things she sees may be a little better than her staying by Uncle Jiang's side.
Thinking about the previous life, it is enough to show that the vision of the girl's family cannot be too narrow.
Aunt Jiang's body has improved slightly, and the fetal image has also stabilized.
A little apologetic: "Look at my uncompetitive body, I can't help with the banquet, but I want you to take care of Xiao Qi." ”
Jiang Lingran understood Aunt Jiang's heart.
She felt that she was of low status and did not deserve to attend the banquet.
I was afraid that it wouldn't look good when I said it, so I used this as an excuse.
said with a smile: "Naturally, I don't dare to bother the third aunt." As he spoke, he gently touched her belly: "I'm still waiting to hold my brother." ”
"On the day of the banquet, I asked Dahu to pick you up in advance, he was in a very stable car, and the third aunt could take it with confidence."
Aunt Jiang was startled, and waved her hand anxiously: "No, no!" ”
As he spoke, he felt that his words were too rigid, and he explained again: "I won't go, there are many people at the banquet, and if I go, it will only add to the chaos." ”
"After the banquet, it will be clear and quiet, and your third uncle and I will go to help you warm the house."
Jiang Lingran said: "What did the third aunt say? You are an elder and deserve to attend. ”
"No one can fault it!"
Aunt Jiang frowned, her face full of embarrassment: "But the fourth girl, I, I am real." ”
Jiang Lingran held her hand and said softly: "The third aunt just participates in the banquet with peace of mind, no one dares to say that you are bad." ”
Aunt Jiang saw that she had seen through her thoughts, her eyes were a little hot, and her face was also a little hot.
But he no longer covered it up: "The people invited to this banquet are all nobles, and the status of me and your third uncle is too low, so I want to make people laugh." ”
Jiang Lingran couldn't help but be annoyed: "A family, how can you say that you are noble and low?" ”
said and became aggrieved: "Listening to the third aunt, I have never regarded my brother and I as my own nephews and nieces. ”
Aunt Jiang panicked: "No, I didn't mean that." ”
Jiang Lingran snorted and said, "But you don't go to the banquet, that's what it means." ”
Aunt Jiang nodded with some difficulty: "Okay then, I'll go, don't cry." ”
Jiang Lingran suddenly smiled, with a little cunning taste.
"Then it's settled." After speaking, he left with Jiang Yanle.
did not return home immediately, but turned to the Xianghe Teahouse.
"Let's go buy some sesame cakes for my brother to bring back." Jiang Lingran said while helping Jiang Yanle put on a hat.
Jiang Yanle smiled and nodded: "I also want to eat sesame cakes." ”
Jiang Lingran scratched her little nose: "Little gluttonous cat, can I still be without you?" ”
Entering the teahouse, Xiao Eryi saw that there were all female guests, and hurriedly led him to the room on the second floor.
Jiang Lingran ordered a few snacks and sweet soups that children love, and asked for a pot of tea.
Seeing that Jiang Yanle ate about the same, Jiang Lingran instructed Qingyu to buy two sesame cakes and wrap them with them.
He was about to leave when the door opened from the outside.
Xiang Zhu looked at the people outside the door, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Qi Gongzi!" ”
Jiang Lingran looked up when he heard the sound, and saw that he was wearing a collared robe with a dark embroidered group pattern, a belt of the same color to tie his waist, and a cloud-white carved dragon jade pendant around his waist, decorated with pine green tassels.
Xu is dressed in black, and the whole person looks a little thin and sharp.
But the eyebrows and eyes are stretched, and even with a warm smile.
