Chapter 166: Peony Banquet
Seeing that everyone used Qin Xu's safety as an excuse to prevent her from entering the World Security Academy, Fu Yuanhua couldn't help but be secretly angry.
Quietly glanced at Qin Xu, who was pale, and finally nodded reluctantly in agreement.
Everyone's hearts were relieved.
After sending Qin Xu and Fu Yuanhua away, the old lady hurriedly summoned Mama Hu for questioning.
"When the slave maid died in the hospital," Mama Hu announced, "I happened to meet Shu Sanniang." As soon as Shu Sanniang saw the slave maid, she said that she was worried that the crown princess was going to visit the eldest lady, and she didn't get sick, so she responded to the second lady's instructions and came to inquire about the situation. ”
The old lady let out an 'oh', and a trace of thought flashed in her eyes: "Go on." ”
"The slave maid did not tell Shu Sanniang the purpose of the death of the Nursing Academy," Mama Hu said, "It was Shu Sanniang who made a suggestion, it is better to arrange the good students of the World Security Academy, so that the crown princess can retreat in the face of difficulties, and it is also good to fulfill the second lady's love for her daughter." ”
"So those things in the World Security Yuan were arranged by Shu Sanniang?" The old lady couldn't help but raise her voice.
Mama Hu hurriedly responded: "The idea is indeed from Shu Sanniang, and the slave maid thinks it seems more appropriate to listen to it, so she will arrange it with her." ”
The old lady nodded, but did not speak.
Today's baptismal ceremony, Liu did not attend, as a junior, he will definitely ask a question or two.
When he learned that Liu was ill, it was normal for him to ask for a visit.
Shen was worried about his illness, which was normal.
It's just that the old lady thinks that this is too coincidental, and I'm afraid that there is something else going on.
The old lady closed her eyes, waved her hand and said, "Got it, go down." ”
blocked Fu Yuanhua's scheme, and Fu Yuanqing finally married the Second Prince's Mansion a few days later.
Because she is a side concubine, the wedding ceremony is naturally far less solemn and lively than Fu Yuanhua, and the royal family did not prepare a family banquet for her.
Of course, there is no such thing as Qin Xu accompanying him back to the door.
The differential treatment during this period, Fu Yuanqing didn't mention how depressed he was.
"Niangniang," Cuizhi saw Fu Yuanqing standing alone in front of the window, and held the tea tray over to serve tea, "You take a sip of tea to moisten your throat." ”
Fu Yuanqing glanced at her, pulled the corners of his lips and took the teacup, but he didn't have the heart to drink it.
She looked out the window with a faint gaze.
This is the Second Prince's Mansion, and the scenery outside the window is more exquisite and gorgeous than the Guogong Mansion, but her mood is not much better than before she got married.
Seeing this, Cuizhi couldn't help but be unwilling for Fu Yuanqing: "The third girl used to be obedient to Niangniang in the house, but now she is the second prince's concubine, and she actually put up a score in front of Niangniang, it's really ......."
"Cuizhi, don't talk nonsense." Fu Yuanqing reprimanded in a low voice, "Are you here or Fuyun Pavilion?" In the future, don't make mistakes in the Second Prince's Mansion, if someone else has the heart to clean you up, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to protect you, do you know? ”
Cuizhi pursed her lips, she understood what Fu Yuanqing meant.
I wanted to say two more words, but I remembered that Fu Yuanqing went to give Fu Yuanhua tea yesterday, and I wilted again.
On the second day of Fu Yuanqing's marriage, after getting up early in the morning, he went to the courtyard where Fu Yuanhua lived to serve tea according to the due etiquette.
As the sister-in-law of the concubine, it was quite embarrassing to give tea to her sister.
But the etiquette is like this, and as a royal daughter-in-law, she has to obey it.
I didn't think about it, Fu Yuanhua took Fu Yuanqing's tea generously, and said with a smile: "You and I are sisters, but now that our identity is in place, this palace is also impossible." ”
"From now on, in private, this palace still calls you eldest sister, and it is okay to call you Yuanqing in front of people?"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Yuanqing's face was blue and white.
Being called by his own sister is simply humiliating.
But she had to agree, she couldn't let Fu Yuanhua call her sister in front of people, so would she still see anyone?
"Niangniang, the slave maid sees that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is very fond of you," Cuizhi saw that Fu Yuanqing's face became more and more ugly, and said comfortingly, "It is right to hold Your Highness's heart well, and give birth to the little prince as soon as possible." The concubine is there......"
"I know that."
Fu Yuanqing remembered that Qin Xu had been here for the past two days, and he was also tender and sweet to her, and his heart couldn't help but warm slightly.
Cui Zhi is right, as long as Qin Xu loves her, it is useless for Fu Yuanhua to be arrogant!
If you can't give birth to a child, how long can you be beautiful?
Two days later, when Fu Yuanqing went to Fu Yuanhua to ask for peace in the morning, he saw Fu Yuanhua slowly take out an invitation card: "Yesterday I received news from the palace that the Queen Mother will hold a peony banquet in Cining Palace tomorrow." If the eldest sister has nothing to do, she can go to the palace with the palace to the banquet. ”
Fu Yuanqing's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he bowed his head and responded: "Yuanqing is willing to go to the banquet with his mother." ”
Fu Yuanhua pursed her lips when she heard this, if it weren't for the rumors in the palace that she must bring Fu Yuanqing, she would not have told Fu Yuanqing about it at all.
is just a side concubine, how can He De participate in the banquet held by the Queen Mother?
Thinking that the Queen Mother had taken a look at Fu Yuanqing since she was a child, Fu Yuanhua felt uncomfortable.
On the day of the peony banquet, Cining Palace was very lively.
There are many noble ladies and ladies who are invited to come, and the garden in front of Cining Palace is full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, and people and flowers are more delicate than each other, which is extraordinarily enchanting.
Fu Yuanyuan was also an invited guest, and finally met Tong Lu and Chang Xishu in the garden, and the three of them got together and chatted while tasting flowers.
"I have long heard that the Queen Mother likes peonies the most, and I feel this way when I see it today." Chang Xishu took a light breath and looked at the various precious peonies in the garden, "They are all rare and precious varieties." ”
"These various peony flowers," Tong Lu's eyes were full of curiosity, "I don't know if it's easy to plant?" ”
Fu Yuanyuan smiled slightly, and she had a little understanding of this: "Peony cultivation is a technology, which includes land selection, flowering, watering, bud retention, insect pest control, frost prevention, grafting, breeding and other aspects. ”
Seeing that Tong Lu and the two listened carefully, Fu Yuanyuan continued to explain: "For example, planting peonies should not be too deep, deep roots are not good, flowers are not vigorous, and it is better to be at the junction of rhizomes and the soil surface." That's just one of the small points. ”
"I heard that the Queen Mother invited a lot of florists from the people to plant and cultivate peonies, because there are many varieties here that are precious and famous."
The words fell, and a series of applause came from behind them, and the three of them glanced at each other, and turned their heads to see that it was the county lord of Biqing who was slowly coming.
"I didn't expect the crown princess to know a lot about peony," it was the county lord of Birou who spoke, and Fu Yuanhua and Fu Yuanqing were standing beside her, "It's not an exaggeration to say that it's easy to say." ”
Fu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, she had a few festivals with the county lord of Birou, and with the temperament of the county lord of Biqing, it would be impossible to show favor easily.
So he responded with a light smile: "But I just know a little bit about the skin." ”
"Today's peony banquet, the invited guests all brought peonies, I don't know what kind of peony the princess brought today?"
