Mrs. Tai asked, "So, Miss Rong will come to the house tomorrow to celebrate the birthday of the eldest girl?" ”

"Yes," the second lady Cao said with a smile: "Although Miss Rong is three years behind our eldest lady, she didn't expect to be very close to our eldest lady, and when they said goodbye, the two of them were very reluctant." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Wei Ya, who seemed to be hanging her head out of shyness, nodded with satisfaction, and then cast an approving look at the second lady Cao, and said, "I don't have to worry about you doing things...... Tomorrow is the eldest girl's seventeenth birthday, so there will be a lively birthday banquet...... You don't need to pay for a kilometer, and all the expenses will be paid by me, the grandmother. ”

"Yikes!" The second lady Cao's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly stood up, but she postponed her words: "Where can this be done, how can the daughter-in-law let her mother break the bank......"

"Don't get in the way," Mrs. Tai waved her hand casually and said, "The big girl called me grandmother, these little money are nothing ......"

The sisters of the Wei family also stood up and thanked Mrs. Tai along with the second lady Cao.

Wei Man, Wei Feng and Wei Yun accepted the invitation of the second lady Cao and promised to go to Xiuya Garden tomorrow to have some fun.

The atmosphere in the room is warm and welcoming.

A while.

Wait until everyone is seated again.

As everyone guessed, Mrs. Tai talked about the peony banquet held by the second eldest princess and the third eldest princess together.

To Wei Man's surprise, the time and place of this peony banquet were exactly the same as what Wei Feng said before, it was in the deer leek garden on April 26, but what surprised others was that not only Wei Man received the post of the peony banquet, but Wei Feng also received it.

Under the strange and inquiring gaze of everyone, Wei Feng stepped forward calmly to take the post in Mrs. Tai's hand.

With a loving smile on her face, Mrs. Tai patted the back of Wei Feng's hand twice, and instructed with concern: "After all, it is the banquet of the eldest princess, you have to prepare carefully these days, and you must not lose the face of our Zhenguo Houfu...... If there's something missing, just come to your grandmother...

In contrast, Mrs. Tai's treatment of Wei Man, who also took the post, seemed too cold.

The second lady Cao, Wei Ya, Wei Xian, and Wei Yun and the maid in the house, Gu Duhu looked back and forth at Wei Man and Wei Feng suspiciously.

Wei Man's face was calm and light, but he was guessing in his heart whether Mrs. Tai had known that Wei Feng could get the post of the Peony Banquet, or maybe that post was originally obtained by Mrs. Tai for Wei Feng......

A while.

After Wei Feng returned to his place.

Mrs. Tai didn't wait for the second lady Cao to open her mouth to find out something, picked up the tea, and everyone retreated.

Wei Man got up, and was about to say that she had something to say to Mrs. Tai.

"Wait." Mrs. Tai suddenly said, "The three girls will stay for a while." ”

……

"Come and sit." Mrs. Tai glanced at Wei Man without a clue, and then motioned for Wei Man to step forward.

Wei Man sat on the stool beside Mrs. Tai according to her words, secretly but constantly peeking at the look on Mrs. Tai's face, but it was always difficult to find anything.

The maid served a new cup of tea for Mrs. Tai and Wei Man.

Mrs. Tai waved her hand and told the servants in the room to retreat.

Soon.

In the huge main hall, only Mrs. Tai and Wei Man were left.

Wei Man smiled, and opened her mouth to mention to Mrs. Tai that after an hour, Cheng Yunqing would come to the mansion to pick her up and go to Youyuyuan to visit Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Tai frowned slightly, asked a few words about the gift list brought by Wei Man, and after listening to Cheng's mother's arrangement, she nodded her head, which was considered to be agreed.

The room was quiet again, and the atmosphere was a little dreary.

Wei Man sat honestly on the stool, waiting for Mrs. Tai's instructions.

Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea.

After another moment.

"The four girls got the post of the peony banquet," Mrs. Tai suddenly spoke, looking at Wei Man with some fierce eyes, and said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Opinion!?

Wei Feng went to the peony banquet, should she have any opinion?

Wei Man looked at Mrs. Tai puzzled, not understanding what Mrs. Tai meant.

"How?" Mrs. Tai smiled lightly, the irony at the corner of her mouth was very obvious, and said: "At this critical juncture of the concubine, what kind of peony banquet is being held in the palace in a hurry...... You won't be unclear about the significance of this......"

Wei Man nodded and said honestly, "My granddaughter vaguely guessed something." ”

Mrs. Tai glanced at Wei Man, and said: "According to the identity, what about our Zhenguo Houfu, you should be the only one who has the post of the peony banquet, but now, the four girls suddenly got the post, don't you have any opinion?" ”

Wei Man pursed her lips.

Views, she naturally has.

"Of course the granddaughter is very happy," Wei Man said seriously: "Grandmother, you also know, the granddaughter's brain is a little bad now, and by the grandmother's side, there is naturally nothing to worry about, but when I think of going to the strange deer and leek garden to see the eldest princess, perhaps, I will also greet the young ladies who are completely strange, and my heart is very uneasy...... Now, when I learned that my fourth sister could go to the peony banquet with me, my heart suddenly became a lot more stable......"

"Oh? In this way, you are very happy that the four girls can go to the peony banquet? Mrs. Tai looked at Wei Man meaningfully, and said: "Our Zhenguo Houfu can only send one young lady into the palace, normally, that person will be you, but today's incident happened, about the person who entered the palace, it may not be you......"

Wei Man nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Tai looked at Wei Man's eyes flashing slightly, and said, "You look like this, you are sure that you are the one who can enter the palace......

Wei Man was stunned for a moment, and after understanding Mrs. Tai's misunderstanding, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandmother, you misunderstood, granddaughter just thinks that if the person who entered the palace is the fourth sister, it will be a good thing." ”

"Oh? Do you think so? Mrs. Tai said: "Don't you blame the four girls for robbing the identity that should belong to you?" ”

"Grandmother, you joked, when did the identity of the palace concubine belong to the granddaughter?" Wei Man said: "Only one person in our house can enter the palace, and only the palace can decide who it is in the end...... If the palace decrees that the fourth sister should enter the palace, then the position of the palace concubine should be the fourth sister's, so how can you grab the words......"

Mrs. Tai shook her head with a smile as if she thought what Wei Man said was a very funny thing.

Wei Man was a little anxious, she found that Mrs. Tai misunderstood her very deeply, and she didn't believe what she said.

"My granddaughter doesn't dare to deceive my grandmother, I really think that if the fourth sister enters the palace, she will definitely do better than me," Wei Man said: "The fourth sister's appearance and talent are secondary, and the reason why I think so is that the fourth sister is more enthusiastic about entering the palace than me...... Grandmother may not know that as early as the day before yesterday, the fourth sister had already prepared clothes for the peony banquet......"

"What did you say?" Mrs. Tai suddenly interrupted Wei Man's words, and asked with her eyebrows, "You mean, the fourth girl already knew that she would get the post of the Peony Banquet?" ”

Why was Mrs. Tai so surprised?

"Yes," Wei Man looked into Mrs. Tai's eyes inquiringly, and said, "Although the fourth sister is ready to participate in the peony banquet clothes, but there is no suitable jewelry to match for a while, the fourth sister said, seeing that April 26 is coming soon, I am afraid that it will be too late to make new jewelry, and I think that I have a little emerald hairpin in my hand that matches her clothes very well, so I will lend her the hairpin for a few days......

Mrs. Tai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the sharpness in her eyes flashed.

Wei Man's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, could it be that the person who helped Wei Feng get the peony banquet post was not Mrs. Tai......

Madame Tai's face was cloudy and contemplative for a moment, and suddenly, a chuckle burst out of her mouth.

"Grandmother, what are you laughing at?" Wei Man asked hesitantly

"That's it, that's it, that's it......" Mrs. Tai waved her hand, and said with helpless emotion: "I'm really old, and I can't see through you little girls at all...... Ay! Your sisters are worthy of being the daughters of the third child, and the idea in this heart is more than one ......."

This, what does this mean?

Wei Man looked at Mrs. Tai who smiled bitterly in a daze, but her heart was already in a mess, from Mrs. Tai's gaffe just now, Wei Man could determine at least three points, first, the post of the peony banquet, Mrs. Tai did not help Wei Feng; Secondly, Mrs. Tai doesn't seem to like the third child in her mouth, that is, Zhenguo Hou Weibai; Finally, and most importantly, Madame Tai did not believe what she had just said......

"Grandmother......" Wei Man was a little anxious, and confessed: "What the granddaughter said is what she said from her heart......"

"Go down." Mrs. Tai suddenly spoke, and she seemed to be too lazy to look at Wei Man again.

No, you can't!

The day of the emperor's concubine is just around the corner, and she can't just leave......

Wei Man grabbed Mrs. Tai's sleeve, and when she raised her eyes, she met Mrs. Tai's somewhat disgusting gaze, Wei Man felt suffocated, pursed her lips, she suddenly got up, and knelt straight at Mrs. Tai's feet.

"Grandmother...... Wei Man first kowtowed to Mrs. Tai, and then said a little choked: "Ask grandmother to save her granddaughter." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Wei Man in surprise.

Moment.

"Oh? Help, these words sound fresh and tight," Mrs. Tai let Wei Man kneel, and said in an unhurried tone: "Let's not say that the identity of your eldest daughter of Zhenguo Hou is there, who dares to endanger your life, just say that you just became the benefactor of the little county lord of Fu'an Wangfu a few days ago, and today you received the post of the peony banquet, wait a while, you have to go to the jade garden to visit your respected grandfather...... Aren't you having a good time, how can you save your life? ”

"Grandmother, granddaughter, granddaughter......" seemed to be hesitating, Wei Man's face was entangled for a while, as if she had finally made up her mind, she looked at Mrs. Tai with teary eyes, and said thoughtfully: "Granddaughter remembered some things from the past...... Granddaughter and King Rui...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he knows ......"
