Chapter 468: Concubine Yu's Birthday Banquet
Concubine Yu was stunned for an instant, and hurriedly explained: "You are a common man, you are a first-class lady!"
Hurriedly pulled Su Xiaoman to sit on the seat, turned his head to look at everyone: "Everyone get up!" , which made the group of people kneeling on the ground get up.
Concubine Yu dressed in a gorgeous dress and proudly went to Fengluan, looked at the officials who came and smiled: "Ouch, I didn't want the king to have such a big banquet this time, but the king just said that the birthday banquet in the palace must be carried out, so I arranged for you to come over!"
After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, nothing more than to tell everyone his place in Chu Yu's heart.
Among them, Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "The king has a mother in his heart, so naturally everything has to be close to you!"
Mrs. Liu is the successor of the prime minister Liu Fu, not long after the death of the first lady, Liu Fu supported his concubine as the main house, and at that time there was a lot of trouble for this matter, which was nothing more than Liu Fu's son Liu Diwen opposed the matter of Fuzheng, for which Liu Diwen was also kicked out of Liu's house.
Su Xiaoman looked at Mrs. Liu's flattering appearance, and inevitably laughed at her in his heart.
Concubine Yu listened to Mrs. Liu's words, pursed her lips and smiled: "That's all because you are too modest, how can there be anything, if you let the concubines of other palaces listen to it, it will not offend many people, and then give this palace a pampered and arrogant crime, this palace can not afford it."
The matter was big, and the frightened Mrs. Liu hurriedly put away her voice: "Ouch, look at my broken mouth, say something that you don't have, don't be surprised!"
Concubine Yu looked like she was eager to tell all the concubines in the palace that she was favored, but she knew that there was such a thing as avoiding suspicion, so she said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, now there are only you officials and relatives in front of this hall, and there is no one else, just talk about it!"
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Xiaoman, and saw that she was eating tea unhurriedly, but her heart was itching with hatred, if Lu Li hadn't made trouble with the little nephew at the beginning, how could he end up in exile, and couldn't help pinching the handkerchief in his hand hard, because he had to make enough face, he had to smile and greet people: "How many months has the county lord now?"
Su Xiaoman was stunned, thinking that he was not chatting happily with others, why did he come to me again, and got up and replied: "Back to Concubine Yu, it's been more than five months!"
Concubine Yu laughed twice against her will: "This palace looks at your belly for more or less seven or eight months, how can it be only five months!"
Everyone sighed, and secretly guessed that Su Xiaoman had done something ugly about Lu Li, and people who knew her didn't think so, for example, Mrs. Li saw Su Xiaoman and immediately opened her mouth to explain for her: "Mo is not the twin son of Huai, this is why her belly is so big!"
Su Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't know yet!" If it's really twins, it's the best! ”
As soon as the words fell, a young girl came in at the door, looking sixteen years old, wearing a silver embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt, with a beautiful posture slowly coming from outside the door, half-squatting in front of the hall, and said in a voice: "Niece Xiuhua asked her aunt to say goodbye!"
Su Xiaoman was puzzled, obviously Concubine Yu looked like she was only in her twenties, why her nieces and nephews were already at a good age, and Aunt Li afterwards
When Zi came to the garment shop to customize ready-to-wear clothes for her daughter, I heard her nagging a few words, and then I learned that Concubine Yu's sister was more than ten years older than her, and she got married early, so she gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Concubine Yu smiled and narrowed her eyes, looked at Xue Xiuhua's appearance, and made an calculation in her heart: "Get up!"
Everyone took a closer look, this girl's appearance was somewhat similar to Su Xiaoman, no matter her shape, appearance, and voice, she was very similar to her.
"Aunt Xie!"
Xue Xiuhua got up, came to Su Xiaoman and squatted down: "The county lord is fine!"
Su Xiaoman looked at her in amazement, and then raised his eyes to look at Concubine Yu: "Who is this?"
Concubine Yu hurriedly explained: "This is the niece of the palace, Ming Xiuhua!"
Su Xiaoman didn't understand, so many women from the official family in front of the hall didn't come forward to ask for peace, this woman came to ask for peace, thinking in her heart if Concubine Yu was thinking about something, but she never figured it out, and took a closer look at the woman's appearance, but she was stunned, this woman is seven points similar to her own appearance, if you look at it from a distance, you will definitely think that it is herself!
In order not to lose etiquette, Su Xiaoman put away his shocked expression and said to Xue Xiuhua: "Girl don't have to be polite!"
Xue Xiuhua got up and walked to Concubine Yu, who specially placed a small chair on the side for her, for fear that others would not know that she was her niece!
I didn't want to look good, but I didn't know that Mrs. Liu got up and said, "This girl's appearance is a little similar to the county lord's mother!"
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as it is said, everyone will talk about it.
Su Xiaoman said: "There are many similarities in this world, for example, I am quite similar to Mrs. Liu, both are big ladies!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed, and laughed again and again: "The county lord is really funny!"
Mrs. Liu's face turned red and white, and she had to face Su Xiaoman with a smile: "Ouch, don't make fun of me, county lord, how can I compare with you!"
After saying this, he suddenly understood what Su Xiaoman meant, no matter how noble Concubine Yu's niece is, no matter how much she is a relative of the emperor, she is not as talented as Su Xiaoman, after all, the vicissitudes of farming and weaving are all the craftsmanship brought by Su Xiaoman, and the little woman is not comparable.
In an instant, Mrs. Liu knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she closed her mouth tightly, and dared to say one more word at the banquet later, for fear that she would say too wrong!
Everyone looked at the appearance of Mrs. Liu, and said behind their backs: "This concubine room is straightened, the concubine room is the concubine room, it is inevitable that I have never seen the scene, I don't know what to say and what not to say!"
The angry lady Liu walked out of the hall in a gray manner, and came back after a long time.
Before the main banquet started, everyone in the hall was eating snacks and chatting about each other, Su Xiaoman had no close people, so he chatted boringly, and after half a ring, he heard Wang Youhe calling her softly.
"County Lord, County Lord, this way!"
Raising his eyes, he laughed, thinking that there was finally someone he knew well, Wang Youhe lowered his body and came to Su Xiaoman's seat and sat beside her.
woof
Although Youhe is a low-grade official, he is also on the roster, but the seats are arranged according to the official class, so he sits far away.
"County Lord, are you bored?"
Su Xiaoman whispered: "This hasn't started yet, why are you so unruly, beware of Concubine Yu to punish you for a crime, it's too late for you to cry!"
Wang Youhe said with a skinny face: "Today, Concubine Yu Niangniang's birthday, naturally she will not cure anyone's crimes, unless she wants to think of me every birthday in the future!"
Laughing twice, he picked up the green jujube in front of the table and took a bite: "This jujube is so sweet, it's not a thing in the palace, it's naturally much better than the food of the people!"
Su Xiaoman covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed twice.
"The king has arrived! Kneel! ”
Outside the hall, there was the voice of the palace attendants, everyone got up and knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, Chu Yu walked into the hall in high spirits, sat on the high hall, smiled and stroked his sleeve robe and said, "Get up!"
They all got up and said leisurely: "Thank you, the king!"
Chu Yu's eyes swept over, looked at Su Xiaoman under the hall, and said with a smile on his face: "It's difficult for you to come to the banquet while you are pregnant, but you are tired?"
Su Xiaoman got up and said: "Back to the king, the doctor asked me to move around more, no, thanks to the blessing of Concubine Yu, I was idle at home every day, so I had time to come out."
When Chu Yu saw her get up, he hurriedly said, "Okay!" Don't get up again, just sit down! ”
Concubine Yu saw Chu Yu's earnest appearance towards her, and she hated her even more, and couldn't help but feel jealous, she really couldn't figure out what Su Xiaoman and Lu Li were worthy of Chu Yu's attention, this day was more important than her own favor, and she couldn't help but pause.
After half a ring, the ministers also came to the hall, sat according to the seats of their families, Lu Li was dressed in front of the hall, strode to Su Xiaoman's side, and touched Su Xiaoman's stomach when he sat down, and pecked her forehead with love, and was stunned to envy others.
Everyone looked at the actions of this beloved wife, and then turned their heads to look at their husbands, thinking in their hearts, they are all husbands of other families.
Xue Xiuhua looked at the every move of the two people in front of him, and then raised his eyes to look at Lu Li's appearance, and there was love in his heart, how good it would be if he could make him his husband, he couldn't help but glance at Concubine Yu, and his eyes conveyed his meaning.
Concubine Yu smiled, thinking that she didn't know if Xiuhua could take a fancy to Lu Li, but now it's good, you don't have to do so much effort, and it is okay to directly match Xiuhua Xu to Lu Li as a second room, and the plan in her heart depends on whether Su Xiaoman buys it or not.
Quietly poked Chu Yu's arm with the fan in his hand, Chu Yu frowned and looked at him, Concubine Yu's eyes instructed Chu Yu to turn to Xiuhua, looking at her happy eyes, she couldn't help but say, "Your niece has taken a fancy to Lu Li?"
Concubine Yu's head.
Chu Yu smiled and whispered: "There is only one person in Lu Li, Xiao Man, you can find someone else for your niece, Lu Li will not think about it!"
Concubine Yu paused: "Your Majesty, last time you demoted my sister and brother-in-law's family to commoners, and my brother-in-law entrusted this little niece to me.
If I can't arrange a good family affair for her, I'm afraid that my sister and brother-in-law will hate me to the core! What happened to my nephew last time has already disappointed my sister and brother-in-law! ”
Chu Yu frowned, his eyes disgusted, and said, "Don't mention your little nephew's matter again, this king is angry when he thinks about it now!"
Concubine Yu coquettishly said: "This Xiuhua's temperament, don't say that she has arranged family affairs, if she doesn't like it, how can she get married!"
After talking for a long time, Chu Yu still couldn't stand up to Concubine Yu's flattery, so he relented and said, "Then you have to ask Xiao Mantong if you agree!"
Listening to Chu Yu's meaning, Concubine Yu smiled proudly: "As long as the king has no opinion, the concubine has her own good plan!"
