The banquet that night was quite smooth, Yi'er not only met Deng Feng, the prefect of Yanzhou, but also met the legendary Jiangnan genius Deng Yu, who is now the husband of Yingu.

Whether it was Deng Feng, Deng Yu's father and son, or Zhou Bingfu, Fang's and others, they were all courteous to Jiang You and Yi'er, although Jiang You didn't say much on the outer table, and there was not much expression on his face, Yi'er on the inner seat was kind and pleasant, and he didn't deliberately give face to the Fang family.

In fact, Zhou Bingfu originally wanted to invite the officials and squires in the area of Fuzhou City to come and accompany him, but he was temporarily stopped by Deng Feng, Deng Feng's original words were like this: "The prince of Ningguo is not an ordinary nobleman in Beijing, I don't want to be high-profile and public, if it weren't for the princess of the world this time, I'm afraid that you are the county government residence, people don't want to look at it, speaking of which, this is also your blessing, the prince and his wife went south to Jiangnan all the way, do you know that the local officials along the way are everyone looking forward to it, Those who pray to God and worship Buddha want the prince and his wife to spend a few days in their house. You are lucky, the princess is now heavy, I can't say that I will stay in your mansion for ten days and a half months, you have this good thing, everyone outside is red, you don't make a mistake, you will be confused with this good hand. ”

Zhou Bingfu was secretly taken aback, and immediately stopped the idea of inviting the local officials and squires, but he was a little curious in his heart, and asked: "Teacher, listening to your tone, could it be that you already knew that the prince and his wife had come to Jiangnan?" ”

Deng Feng glanced at Zhou Bingfu and said: "The imperial court has already had a secret decree, and it was approved by the prince himself, saying that the prince and his wife went south to Jiangnan for a private visit, and the local state government tried their best to cooperate, and secretly ensured the safety of the prince and his wife. It is not surprising that this decree only went down to the state capital, not to the county offices, and you don't know. ”

Zhou Bingfu was puzzled: "If you want the local state government to cooperate, why don't you send it to the county government?" Such a local county order like a student does not know about this matter at all, so how can we talk about cooperation? ”

Deng Feng glared at Zhou Bingfu angrily, and said angrily: "You, you look shrewd on weekdays, why are you confused now?" Did you really come here for a private visit? ”

"That ......"

"At the end of the war in Miaoxi a year ago, the prince returned to the dynasty, and I heard that the only way to return to Beijing was to rely on the team, and the prince and the princess had already traveled to the mountains and rivers and went around. In the Miaoxi War, the prince made great contributions, although the imperial court had a reward, but it was the Ningguo Mansion that was rewarded, not the prince himself, which is the reason. Now that the prince and his wife have arrived in our Jiangnan, the court is worried about their safety, so they made this will, and they made it clear that they wanted to protect them secretly, how could they make a statement? ”

Zhou Bingfu suddenly realized, and then naturally everything was done according to Deng Feng's intentions.

Although there was a curtain screen between the two seats, but halfway through the banquet, Deng Yu went to the inner seat with Yingu after obtaining Jiang You's consent, and the couple toasted Yi'er for a round of wine. Of course, because of her body, Yi'er drank ginseng soup, and when Deng Yu Yingu got married, although Yi'er gave a generous gift, she didn't come to it, so this is the first time that the Yingu couple toasted her, and she couldn't push it off, so Yi'er drank it generously.

The banquet has reached this point, there is already a bit of a climactic posture, pushing the cup outside to change the lamp, it is lively, Yier knows Jiang You's amount of wine, so she is not too worried, but after sitting on the banquet for so long, she feels that her body is a little sore, and she is about to leave the table, but she sees a lady with a medicine jar and walks in slowly. When the Fang clan saw it, he hurriedly got up and said, "The princess's fetal pills, the doctor has ordered, you need to take them every two hours during the day these days, and it will be time." As he spoke, he stepped forward and reached out to take the jar.

Although the woman who came in from the medicine jar was dressed plainly, it was not the clothes of an ordinary maid, Yi Yi'er was a little strange, she looked up, she didn't want to look at it, she was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Sister Wu? ”

The woman was also handing the medicine jar in her hand to Fang's family, but suddenly she heard Yi'er's voice, and her whole body was shocked, her hand loosened, and she raised her head in disbelief and looked at Yi'er.

At this moment, the medicine jar in her hand Fang Shi had not yet been secured, and it fell to the ground with a "snap", falling into a pile of tiles, and the juice and medicine residue splashed out, and many of them splashed on Fang Shi's legs, so hot that Fang Shi jumped to his feet again and again, his mouth was full of anger, and he scolded loudly: "What are you doing? ”

Fang's personal maid Ruyi hurriedly ran over, hurriedly pulled Fang Clan's away, slapped the woman in the face with her backhand, and said angrily: "Something that doesn't have long eyes, this is the fetal pill of the princess, how many heads did you give birth to, and you dared to fall?" ”

The woman was completely stunned, and she didn't know if she was frightened, so she only raised her eyes and stared at Yi'er for a moment, her eyes were extremely complicated, and she was a little stunned for a while.

Everyone in the outer seat was shocked when they heard the movement inside, and they all rushed in, Jiang You arrived at Yi'er's side in a few steps, and was slightly relieved to see that Yi'er was fine.

When Zhou Bingfu saw the situation in front of him, he had a headache, and hurriedly shouted to the woman: "Why are you so careless? Even the bowl of soup and medicine can go wrong, come and ...... this."

Yi'er suddenly got up and said, "Lord Zhou, slow down." ”

Zhou Bingfu was shocked, for fear that Yi'er would be angry, so he hurriedly bowed and turned around, carefully compensating for it, and said: "The subordinates are stupid and disturb the princess, they are all subordinate officials, this is ......"

"May I ask Lord Zhou, I look at this lady's dress, she doesn't look like an ordinary maid, I don't know who this person is in the house?"

Zhou Bingfu had a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he didn't dare not answer, Shanshan said: "Back to the princess, this Wu is the concubine who was just brought into the door by the lower official last year, and the lower official doesn't understand, how can she be here?" After speaking, the somewhat hateful Chao Fang looked over.

Fang's family also felt aggrieved, turned to Yi'er Fu and said: "It's all the fault of the lower wife, originally the concubine's fetal medicine was guarded by the lower woman herself, but there was a banquet here, because of the safety of the Wu family, the lower woman gave her this errand, who would have thought of her...... recklessly, in the end, he deserved to die and fell into the medicine jar of the princess. ”

Yi'er smiled and said: "It's just a pair of fetal pills, if you fall, you fall, what's the matter, I just didn't expect that I haven't seen you for so many years, and I will meet an old friend here!" ”

At the beginning, Yi'er was in Wan County, when she was an embroidery girl in Mingfeng Embroidery Building, she met the county Cheng Wu Lin family in Wan County, and at that time, Mrs. Wu Chen often brought Wu Ying, the only daughter of the Wu family, to find Yi'er to play, and later Yi'er followed Du Ziwu and his wife in Beikaicheng, and once the daughter of the Li family in Tingnan got married, Li led Yi'er to Wanxian County to watch the ceremony, but when she was in Dai's mansion, she was mistaken for an embroidery girl by several official ladies, and there was a misunderstanding, Wu Ying was present at the time, but she did not stand up to speak for Yi'er, In fact, Yi'er didn't say anything afterwards, so she blamed Wu Ying, after all, according to her identity at the time, she really couldn't speak, but she felt like something was blocked in her heart after all, and later, Yi'er returned to the capital, and Wu Ying never saw her again.

As she said, in Yanzhou, south of the Yangtze River, in the county government residence in Fuzhou City, she never thought that she would meet Wu Ying here, but the world has changed over time, and now the two have long been wives, and the gap in identity is more like a gap between heaven and earth, and the difference between clouds and mud.

Yi'er is still a little strange, back then, this Wu Lin was also a county magistrate of Wan County, although he couldn't be on the official roster of the Ministry of Officials, but he also belonged to the official family, how could this Wu Ying be reduced to the point of being a concubine with someone now?

Wu Ying's body is thinner than back then, thinking that the life of these years is not satisfactory, although she recognizes Yi'er, but her heart is completely confused, for these changes in front of her, she can't believe in accepting it, she can't figure it out, when she first met Yi'er, she was just a lowly embroidery girl, and when she said goodbye, she had become the daughter of the prefect, and now she is reunited again, this person has become the princess of the dignified Ningguo Mansion!

Yi'er was also embarrassed in her heart, and when she entered the inner room, she left Yingu alone to wait next to her and took a seat, but Wu Ying didn't dare to sit, but knelt straight in front of Yi'er, Yi'er frowned slightly, and let Yinggu help people up, and then asked, "How did Sister Wu come to Yanzhou, Jiangnan?" ”

Wu Ying glanced up at Yi'er, and then said: "The ancestral home of the concubine is the Fuzhou family of Yanzhou Mansion, when my father was in Wanxian County, he was sin and lost the errand at hand, so he had to take his family and return to Fuzhou, but he didn't find a suitable livelihood for a while, and then his father was sick again, and the situation of the family changed day by day, so when the year ago, my mother was desperate, and this was the ......."

Although Wu Ying is a few words, Yi'er can imagine the hardships in the meantime, after the incident of Daifu in Wanxian County, Wu Lin also brought Wu Ying over to make amends to her, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, she has a gap in her heart, and she can no longer treat each other as calmly as before. In fact, Yi'er was also thinking that her identity was the eldest lady of the Lianzhou prefect's family, and Wu Lin was just a county magistrate of Wanxian County, after this incident, although she did not instruct her, she could not guarantee that Zhou Yun, the county commander of Wanxian County at that time, became Du Ziwu, and after coming down, she gave Wu Lin small shoes to wear.

Yi'er sighed and said, "Sister Wu, your father's illness is better now?" ”

For Yi'er, Wu Ying's mood was already complicated, she was still a little unwilling when she was in Wanxian County, but after several years of hardships, now seeing Yi'er again, I have long understood that this is not what it used to be, the two have different identities and statuses, if Yi'er wants to harm her, she doesn't even have to open her mouth, just a little bit to express her disgust for her, just afraid that her master Zhou Bingfu can directly put her to death! In the same way, if Yi'er wants to lift her, it is also a backhand matter, and it is very easy. She cleaned up her mood, and replied: "Concubine Lao Shi inquired, the old man paid a silver tael and sent someone to take care of it, and my father's illness is almost better." ”

Yi'er thought about it, but still said, "Lord Zhou, how are you treated?" ”
