Chapter 18: The Bloody Feast
In the Mingguang Palace, Lu Meiluo had been waiting for a long time, and from the time Jingwen went out to pick up people, she was restless, until Qin Rou walked in: "Niangniang, don't be tired, let's sit and rest." I went to inquire just now, Jingwen is already on her way back to the palace, and she will be there soon! ”
"Qin Rou, although they have arrived in the capital and are not far from the palace, I can't rest assured, these two children are troublemakers when they are in the clouds, and they can't relax for a moment!" Lu Melo said worriedly.
Qin Rou understood that her master was delicate and thoughtful, and she would definitely not be relieved if she didn't see anyone, so she comforted: "Niangniang, the second lady and the little prince have someone sent by His Majesty to escort them into the palace, they must be thorough, and Your Majesty has always done things safely." ”
"Yes, it's because I'm thinking too much, Your Majesty will always arrange things to make people feel at ease." Hearing Qin Rou's comfort, Lu Meiluo realized that she suddenly thought too much about it, she was so sensitive that she cared about these two people, and even Yuan Yi didn't believe it.
About two quarters of an hour later, there was a sound of talking at the door, Leng Xi had been waiting outside the door, Qin Rou heard this sound, it was estimated that it had arrived, so she gently called Lu Meiluo: "Niangniang, it is estimated that the second lady and the little prince have arrived, and the slave maid heard a voice at the door." ”
Lu Meiluo heard Qin Rou call herself, and hurriedly walked out, Qin Rou was worried to death in the back, her mother was pregnant, but she couldn't do this.
When she walked to the door, just as Leng Xi got off the carriage in Fuyuanxu, Lu Xi turned his head and saw Lu Meiluo coming out, and ran over to hug her excitedly: "Sister, Xi'er misses you so much, I finally saw you!" Lu Xi went through all the way, and what she was thinking about was her sister, and she was about to cry when she saw it, and when she looked up at her sister's face, she realized that her sister was already shining with a little tears.
"My sister has been thinking about you little girl, you and Ke'er are too bold, when Your Majesty said it, I was scared to death." Lu Meiluo looked at Lu Xi in his arms, and had mixed feelings for a while, neither was the training, nor was the pain, and he glanced at Yuan Ke when he said it.
"What is Sister Luo afraid of, I am a little overlord rampant in the clouds, and nothing will happen with Xi'er." Yuan Ke replied slyly, and after speaking, he pulled Yuan Xu, who had already gotten out of the car, over, "Come, Ah Xu, the second brother will take you to recognize someone." This is your sister Lu Xi's sister, and she is also our sister-in-law. ”
"Sister-in-law!" Yuan Xu called out a little shyly, although he was already familiar with Lu Xi, but Sister Xi's sister was still her sister-in-law, so she was unfamiliar.
"This is Ah Xu, Your Majesty said some time ago that you brought Ah Xu too, it's really unreasonable, you two are just messing around, Ah Xu is still so young, how can he withstand the toss of the road. Ah Xu must have been deceived by the two of you! Lu Meiluo looked at the little Yuan Xu beside Yuan Ke and said.
"Sister-in-law, no, Sister Xi and the second brother took good care of me along the way, and..."Yuan Xu paused, lowered his head and pulled the corner of his clothes and said embarrassedly, "And I also want to come to see my sister-in-law and eldest brother." ”
"Sister Luo, you heard it, it's not me!" Yuan Ke looked at Lu Meiluo proudly.
"Sister, don't listen to Yuan Ke, he is the culprit, let Brother Yi clean him up." Lu Xi couldn't get used to Yuan Ke's smug expression.
"Okay." Lu Melo said helplessly.
Jingwen watched so many people standing at the door talking, afraid that her mother-in-law would be affected by the wind, so she hurriedly reminded: "Niangniang, since the little prince, Miss Axu and the second miss have all arrived, let's go back to the palace." ”
"That's right, sister, I forgot that my sister is pregnant," Lu Merlot walked to the hall, took two steps, seemed to remember something, and turned around and ordered, "Sister Jingwen, remember to bring that pot of evergreen in, that is my glory!" ”
"What glory?" Lu Melo was puzzled.
"Sister, let's go back first, I'll tell you slowly when I go back!" Then the group returned to the Mingguang Palace, Leng Xi had already prepared a lot of refreshments, not to mention how happy everyone was.
When Yuan Ke and the others arrived in the palace, Yuan Yi was dealing with official business, and he only saw him in a hurry at lunch during the day, and he didn't talk to everyone, only saying that a family banquet had been prepared in the evening, so that they could prepare and meet everyone in the palace.
Although it was a family banquet, when Yuan Ke went in in the evening, he was still taken aback, and quietly said to Lu Xi: "It turns out that my eldest brother still has so many concubines, and he can take care of it?" This is really wronged Sister Luo! ”
Lu Xi poked Yuan Ke with his elbow, lowered his head and approached him and said, "You just know!"
When Yuan Ke heard this, he was a little embarrassed, so he stopped talking.
Yuan Xu, who was beside him, saw this battle for the first time, and he had been following Yuan Ke timidly, just curiously looking at everything around him. She would not have predicted that when she stepped into this palace for the second time after many years, she would no longer be cowardly, but would die and atone for her sins without hesitation.
Naturally, several people in the harem of the family banquet arrived, and Murong Hua looked graceful and luxurious with the queen's shelf. She naturally knew that these people who came were all people who had a relationship with Lu Meiluo, so she deliberately appeared to be kind and asked for warmth, but even Yuan Xu felt her falsehood.
The noble concubine Zhang Ke'er is different, she knows very well that these people are His Majesty's closest family, and they must not be too flattering, nor too indifferent, but they are the most decent, close and distant, so that Yuan Ke and Lu Xi still feel more comfortable.
Yuan Yi started this family banquet: "The people gathered together today are all a family, Ke'er and Ah Xu are both my closest relatives, so there is no need to be restrained. ”
"Ke'er came to the capital for the first time, how reckless, this cup to the eldest brother and all the ladies and ladies and daughters, Wanfu Chang'an," Yuan Ke immediately handed over Yuan Xu beside him, "Ah Xu, toast with the second brother." Yuan Xu stood up obediently, learned Yuan Ke's movements, picked up the tea in front of him, and toasted everyone with a glass of wine.
The concubines looked at the little prince like this, and they all drank a cup in agreement. After that, everyone talked happily, Yuan Ke was worthy of being a naughty ghost, but he told Yuan Ke and Lu Meiluo about the fun things when they were young, which made everyone laugh.
Yuan Ke also drank a few more glasses in this atmosphere, and it was six years ago that he got together with his relatives, and he hadn't been so relaxed in this palace for a long time. During this period, Lu Meiluo asked him for instructions, saying that he wanted to go out to breathe, and he felt that he really shouldn't stay in the house for a long time when he was pregnant, so he didn't care, and signaled Jingwen to take good care of it.
But about a quarter of an hour later, he saw Mo Xiu coming in a hurry with Leng Xi, his expression was very flustered, Mo Xiu quietly attached to Yuan Yi's ear and said: "Your Majesty, there is an accident on the side of Concubine Shu, you should hurry up and take a look." The imperial doctor had already rushed over, and Qin Rou knew simple medical theory, saying that she was afraid of poisoning. ”
