Chapter 32: The Dinner
Kangxi came in person, and the Mongolian princes naturally warmly welcomed him.
When they arrived, it was afternoon, and everyone packed up their things, pitched their tents, and then went to the grand welcome dinner prepared by the Mongol princes.
At the dinner, Kangxi sat at the top, and the closest to Kangxi was the prince, who sat at the bottom of Kangxi. Next is the Mongolian prince, and the next column is the prince's minister, and the other column is the female dependent, all of whom are accompanied by Mongolian enthusiasm. A roaring bonfire burned in the middle of the venue, and a group of Mongolians danced around it.
Kangxi was in a good mood, and everyone was in high spirits, both men and women were talking, laughing and raising their glasses frequently. Kangxi's women are all elated, although they have participated in a lot of such banquets in the palace, but they are all in the palace, the same, how can there be such a happy Mongolian steppe, the curtain is on the ground, around the bonfire, laughing loudly, drinking a lot, so they are all smiling.
As the imperial concubine, Tong Jia's family naturally has a lot of people stammering, and she is surrounded by all kinds of women, which is the most lively. Wanru was young, so she sat at a table with Tong Jia's family, as Tong Jia's daughter-in-law, Wanru is also the object of flattery by many women, no matter what others say, Wanru is the same as when she was in the palace, all squinting and smiling.
Wanru looked at the Mongolian girls and men dancing in the middle of the venue full of exotic dances, singing and dancing, and suddenly remembered that when she first passed through, the popular divine comedy that swept the world - "Even Bar Just Killed Him", when this song first came out, the horse riding dance that was both interesting and distinctive, but also slightly evil and obscene, instantly became the favorite of several crazy women in Wanru's bedroom, and Wanru also learned this horse riding dance under their persecution. At this time, Wanru thought with some bad taste, if she gave them a horseback riding dance that was very suitable for the atmosphere of the dinner party, I don't know what the reaction of everyone would be?
No matter what she thinks in her heart, Wanru is dignified on the surface, and follows Tong Jia's family to deal with the Mongolian Fujin ladies who surrounded her.
Wanru was personally picked by Tong Jiashi, others praised Wanru, regardless of whether it was true or not, Tong Jiashi was happy to listen anyway, those princesses and ladies of Fujin saw it, and they all secretly thought to themselves in their hearts, this Sifujin is really as favored by the imperial concubine as rumored.
In fact, Wanru is also well-known in the upper class society of the Qing Dynasty, because Tong Jiashi is Kangxi's favorite imperial concubine, Tong Jia's every move naturally has a large number of people's attention, and Wanru, as Tong Jia's daughter-in-law, is of course the focus of many gossip people. At that time, Tong Jia's family was critically ill, and Kangxi, the emperor who has always been calm and composed, actually did something happy for Tong Jia's family, and assigned a seven-year-old girl to the current fourth prince, and ordered the marriage to be completed in one month. This is tantamount to treating Wanru as a child daughter-in-law, and no one criticizes the common people for doing this, but the grand concubines of the Qing Dynasty did this, or Emperor Kangxi ordered it, no matter how people think about it, they feel a little awkward.
Then when Wanru married into the palace, Tong Jia's family really got better.
I don't know if it's because of Chongxi, but no matter what the reason is, the fact that people see is that Tong Jia's body is good, so Wanru, who married into the palace at this time, is very favored by Tong Jia's family, not only does not take her with her side to train well, but she is loved as her own daughter, and when she meets such a mother-in-law, Wanru is really lucky, so those Mongolian women are also curious about Wanru.
After seeing it, I found that Wanru was not good-looking, shy in temperament, no matter what others said, she was a smiling Mimi, neither ice and snow smart nor a beautiful embryo, but the whole person looked at it and was also delicate and festive, which made people feel close.
Tong Jia's next head, sitting is Concubine Hui and Da Fu Jin, in comparison, the table of Concubine Hui and Da Fu Jin is a lot more deserted, obviously Tong Jia's side is lively. Wanru then went to look at the eldest brother and Yinzhen sitting opposite, and the situation was the same here, the prince was sitting at the bottom of Kangxi, and everyone didn't dare to step forward if they wanted to get close, so they all gathered around the remaining three princes. The eldest brother is the eldest son, and he has already started to run errands, and it is natural that there are many people around him, although Yinzhen is the youngest, he has a noble adoptive mother, so although Yinzhen has a cold face, he is still surrounded by a group of people, in comparison, the third elder brother has the least people around him.
Seeing this scene, Wanru began to think in her heart again, the eldest brother, as the eldest son of Kangxi, was ignored by everyone everywhere, and the prince was forgotten, he was the son-in-law, this can't be argued, but what's the matter with the fourth elder brother? The biological mother of a palace maid is just lucky to be raised by the imperial concubine, but in the final analysis, she is still from a humble background.
The crown prince is a concubine and is of noble birth, and he will be the emperor in the future, so it is understandable for everyone to stutter, but the fourth elder brother, isn't he just raised by the imperial concubine? Is it worth it for people to stammering one by one and ignoring the big brother? As the eldest son of the emperor, he was neglected everywhere, and the eldest brother fought so hard for the throne later, and he must also have a kind of paranoia: the more you ignore me, the more I want to show you. It's a pity that he was too paranoid and was confused, so that he ended up in a captivity for life.
Although Wanru was thinking about it in her heart, she still had a smile on her face and listened carefully to everyone's greetings. Or because she drank too much water, Wanru suddenly felt a little like going to the toilet, before participating in this kind of dinner, everyone had gone to the toilet first, although she was young, but Wanru still felt a little embarrassed at this time.
I wanted to endure until the end of the dinner, but the urge to urinate is the same as motion sickness, if you don't think about it, you may not notice it, but the more you think about it, the more you will feel motion sickness. Wanru didn't feel okay when she was thinking about it just now, but now that she feels it, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels the urge to urinate, and Wanru's body is only eight years old, and she soon feels that she can't hold it back.
So Wanru was a little uncomfortable, and her small body changed several sitting postures after a while. Ju Xue and Mei Xue were standing behind Wanru, the closest, and they were the first to notice Wanru's strangeness, but they were maids, and it was not their turn to speak on this occasion, so although they were anxious, they could only watch.
The three of the master and servant looked wrong, and Tong Jiashi also noticed Wanru's strange appearance at this time, so he lowered his head sideways and said, "Wanru, what's wrong?" ”
Wanru's face turned red all of a sudden, it was too embarrassing, although she wanted to say that it was okay, but she really couldn't help it, so she replied in a low voice: "Eniang, I want to be Gong." ”
Tong Jiashi paused and smiled. Seeing Tong Jia's smile, Wanru's face turned even redder, obviously she was about the same age, but now she could only make the other party laugh, and Wanru spit on this small body.
"You are so young, and you are still in front of Eniang, what are you shy?" Tong Jiashi covered his mouth and laughed, seeing that Wanru was eager to get under the table, so he said kindly: "Okay, okay, E-niang won't laugh at you." As he spoke, he said to Qi Sang, who was standing behind him, "Follow Sifujin back to the tent." ”
Wanru listened, and quickly refused, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better: "Eniang, no need, I'll take the maid to go." ”
"No, this is not a palace. , the three of you master and servant have nothing to do, and E-Niang is not at ease. ”
Wanru thinks about it, it's really, it's the first time I've come to the grassland, I'm not familiar with the place, plus the moon is dark and the wind is high, something really has to happen, and I'm really a master and servant with three little girls, so I agreed, "Thank you, Eniang." ”
Tong Jiashi touched Wanru's little face, it still felt very good, and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”
So Wanru took Qin Sang, Ju Xue and Mei Xue to salute. returned to his tent, solved the matter of the reincarnation of grains, and by the way, let the three maids also solve it, and then cleaned his hands, and when the four of them were cleaned up, Wanru stretched her waist, moved and sat for too long and her body was a little stiff, I really didn't want to go, her face was sour when she laughed too much just now.
At this time, Qin Sang spoke: "Sifujin, you better go back quickly, the imperial concubine will be worried if you go back late." ”
That's true, Wanru didn't delay any longer, nodded, and spoke: "Exactly, then let's go back quickly." With that, he led the three out of the tent. Wanru walked in the front, Qin Sang followed behind, and Ju Xue Meixue took a step back from Qin Sang and walked last. Walking through the heavy tent and approaching the banquet venue, a voice came: "That little girl over there, stop." ”
Wanru sighed, little girl? Are you calling her? Wanru really stopped and looked over to the place where the sound was coming from.
Not far from them, there was a little boy, about ten years old, dressed in Mongolian clothes, holding a small leather whip in his hand, seeing Wanru look over, he walked towards Wanru, and while walking, he raised the whip in his hand and pointed at Wanru, and said in his mouth: "It's you, stop." ”
