Chapter 222: Flower Dynasty Festival
On the 12th Flower Festival in February, the eighth princess celebrated her eleventh birthday.
Empress Dowager Xu didn't know why, so she wanted to handle it for the eighth princess excitedly.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the ladies went to Wanfu Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Xu, and the Empress Dowager Xu told her about it with a smile in public.
Mrs. Lanxiang hurriedly excused herself: "Queen Mother, Ashu's child, it's a little birthday, so you don't need to be so excited." ”
Empress Dowager Xu smiled: "I knew you wanted to save." The daughter's family is all petite, and their sisters are as big as a day, how long can they stay in the palace? Let them be lively. I'm in charge, I'll do it for Ashu's birthday this time, don't worry about it. ”
said that it was a big deal, but in fact, it invited more people than usual, and the people invited were all from their own families.
Except for Lady Xianzi and Lady Moon Shadow, the maiden families of each lady were invited to the palace. The banquet was placed in the Yingxun Pavilion, and the advocates of Cuiyuntai were called to sing a few small plays, the men went out to eat and drink, the women were talking together, and the children were called to sit in one place.
The eighth princess, as today's little birthday star, is a little unhappy.
She squeezed between the fifth princess and Xiao Yuanhao and complained: "I originally thought that I would invite a few of us to have a good time today, and it would be over in one day, who thought that grandmother would give me a good job." Why did you invite so many people? I still have to sit dry in my coat, and I can't relax at all. ”
The fifth princess is already a big girl, and when she heard this, she pinched the eighth princess's cheek: "You, you really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." Grandmother, this is a privilege that you can't ask for, and you dislike it like this. ”
"Who wants to ask for it?"
The eighth princess turned her head and looked around, and hummed: "I think Sister Ah Chan and Sister Nine want to ask for it." Wait and see, grandmother opened this mouth, Sister Chan will definitely pester her grandmother for her birthday this year. ”
"Not really." The fifth princess gave her an analysis, "Sister Chan will be in time next year, this is a big day, and Sister Chan's birthday will definitely not be big this year." As for the ninth sister, next year will also be the tenth birthday, and it is estimated that grandmother will help her manage next year. ”
The eighth princess sneered: "I have to help my grandmother manage it, otherwise, all the family resources in Qianyang Palace will be moved to the Jingguo Mansion." What did Xu Jieyu take to handle the birthday of the ninth sister? ”
The sneer attracted the attention of the ninth princess, and she glanced over here, and the eighth princess immediately glared back defiantly.
Last year, several princesses had a quarrel, and the eighth princess completely turned her face with the ninth princess, and even the fifth princess with the best temper had a lot of complaints about the ninth princess.
Xiao Yuan was smiling and grinning as she ate honey tea, the intrigue between the little girls was too terrible, so she didn't want to get involved.
was eating leisurely, when she heard the Empress Dowager Xu call her: "Ah Hao, come over and meet your cousin of the Xu family." ”
The eighth princess winked at her and smiled: "Go quickly, you are in front of you, let us also hide and relax." "She had just met a group of ladies, this brother and that sister, and their faces were stiff with smiles.
Xiao Yuan had no choice but to rub in front of Empress Dowager Xu, and smiled at a few ladies, which was regarded as a courtesy.
The ladies of the family are a little flattered, the princess has a noble status, and I heard that her temper is not good, it is rare to greet them with such a smile on her face.
Empress Dowager Xu pulled an eleven or twelve-year-old boy and introduced Xiao Yuanhao: "This is your cousin of the Xu family." ”
Xiao Yuanhao nodded lightly: "Cousin of the Xu family is good." "I refuse to give half a superfluous expression.
Xiao Langjun of the Xu family shook it to the end, and it was a big gift: "The boy Xu Changhe has seen the tenth princess, and Her Royal Highness the princess is Changle Weiyang." ”
Empress Dowager Xu looked happy, this nephew looked like a promising, Mama Jiang was right, maybe the rise of the Xu family should be on this nephew.
She looked at Xiao Yuanhao again, and she still felt a little regretful.
Although her Ah Hao is childish, she has already begun to show her honor, and she is destined for Xu Changhe, which is a pity.
In fact, Empress Dowager Xu felt that her little granddaughter was a fairy in the sky, and it would be a pity to marry whoever she married.
"Are you the cousin who beat people?"
A little girl slipped over from the Duchess of Jingguo, Yan, with a pair of chubby hands behind her back, her head tilted, staring at Xiao Yuan with her fingers.
Yan hurriedly stood up and hugged her: "Ying Ning is going to slap her mouth!" Hurry up and compensate your cousin. ”
This little girl is the daughter of Jing Guogong, she is four years old this year, one year older than Xiao Jianbao, the ninth son, but she speaks very neatly, and looks like a little adult.
She pouted, very unhappy: "What I said is true, why do you want to hit me in the mouth?" I have heard that this cousin is very fierce, and if anyone does not do what she wants, she will be whipped in public. also beat a little Langjun to death. ”
Well? When did she kill Xiao Langjun?
Xiao Yuan doesn't like this Xu Yingning so much, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open?
"Yes, you're right!" She bent down and deliberately smiled at Xu Yingning with compassion, "You are not as good as I want now, I am going to beat you with a whip!" ”
Xu Yingning was not afraid at all, but straightened up her small chest: "You dare!" My Ah Weng is the Duke of Jingguo, my aunt is the daughter of the Yan family in Qizhou, my aunt is Xu Jieyu, my cousin is the Ninth Princess, my eldest aunt and grandmother are the Queen Mother, my second aunt and grandmother are the Duchess of Dingguo Jing Yuanjun, and I also have a cousin who is the queen......"
The little girl broke her fingers and began to count the family tree, Xiao Yuanhao always felt that she had seen this situation somewhere, and when she turned her head, Zheng Wuxiu was covering her mouth and laughing.
How could she forget, the first time she saw Zheng Wuxiu, Zheng Wuxiu also counted genealogies like this.
Xiao Yuan became naughty, and also followed Xu Yingning's example and snapped his fingers: "Coincidentally, your aunt and grandmother who is the queen mother are my grandmother, your aunt and grandmother who was named Jing Yuanjun are my grandmother, and there is a cousin who is the queen is my grandmother......
The little girl was obviously dizzy, and looked at Xiao Yuan stupidly.
Empress Dowager Xu, who was angry because of Xu Yingning's words, was also amused by Xiao Yuanhao: "You monkey, scare your cousin!" Go play with your sisters! ”
Xiao Yuan made a look of grievance: "Grandmother trained me, but I didn't follow it." How could I have killed Xiao Langjun? ”
People are terrible, although she doesn't care about fame, but she can't be charged with any crime casually.
Especially the cauldron of killing Xiao Langjun, she doesn't carry it.
Han Tingfang, who was beaten by her, is fine, there are no missing arms or legs, this is a rumor that came out of nowhere.
Empress Dowager Xu obviously didn't like others to splash dirty water on her little granddaughter, so she reprimanded Yan in front of so many people: "How did you become a lady?" It's time to put the Jingguo Mansion in order. Everyone put everyone next to Ying Ning, and taught a good little girl badly. ”
Yan's face turned red, and he replied resignedly: "The queen mother's lesson is that the concubine was pregnant for a while ago and had no spirit, and she will definitely discipline Ying Ning well after she goes back." ”
Empress Dowager Xu looked at Yan and was upset, and waved her hand to let her retreat: "I haven't seen you raise the child well, but now you are pushing it out as an excuse." ”
