Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Secret News (I)
"This house belongs to the king of Rossi. At noon, Ouyang Shi invited Shihe and the side concubine to come over to rest, and the side concubine told Su Xin to go to the dock, and at this time the slave really didn't know if there was another guest. The third master and the girls waited for a while, and Su Xin went to ask. ”
When Huaxi heard that Luo Xi was king, her heart jumped, and she wondered if she was looking for an excuse to hide and not show up for a while.
Su Xin called the maid who was waiting outside the building and asked, then turned around and came back to Mu Xiuyuan to reply: "King Chengjun came over just now, and he is talking to Shi and Ouyang Shi inside." The side concubine is in the side hall. ”
"Third brother, should we go in and say hello?" Yun Ning asked softly.
Mu Xiuyuan didn't answer, turned his head to Su Xin and said, "Go see the fourth sister first, and the master will wait until he finishes talking and then see you." ”
Huaxi breathed a sigh of relief, "I haven't seen the fourth sister for a long time, let's go quickly." ”
Frangipani led the five of them to the side hall.
Yun Yi sat on the top, wearing a rose-red flower silk gown, her hair was pulled into a flying fairy bun, and she was pinned with a red and blue peacock, dignified and elegant.
Yun Yi saw Mu Xiuyuan and the others coming in, and wanted to get up to greet her, but she heard the grandmother on her side coughing, sat down hurriedly, and said with a smile: "The third brother is here, and the sisters can sit casually." He turned his head and said to the two grandmothers behind him, "My third brother and four younger sisters are here, and the two grandmothers don't need to wait here, go down and rest." ”
The two grandmothers glanced at each other before bowing and retreating.
At the moment when the grandmothers turned around, Huaxi saw the polite smile on Yunyi's face disappear, and when she turned her head to look at them again, she was full of spring breeze, this time she was really smiling in her eyes.
"You're here."
Yun Ning looked at Yun Yi and teased: "Fourth sister, I haven't seen her for a few months, and she looks good." ”
A faint flush appeared on Yun Yi's face, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she smiled shyly, "It's okay." After speaking, he quickly regained his expression and asked about the family.
About half an hour later, Su Xin came in and said that the conversation was over, and asked the third master to come over. Mu Xiuyuan got up and followed Su Xin away.
Seeing that Mu Xiu was leaving, Yun Lin opened her mouth and asked, "Fourth sister, do you know who will come to this poetry meeting?" I wonder if it can be as lively as last year? ”
Yun Yi thought for a while, "Hehe, there are a lot of people." King Chengjun and Ouyang Shi are here. I heard that the three emperors may also come over. However, last year, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yu didn't come......"
Yun Lin said with regret: "It's a pity that Mrs. Yu didn't come." I remember when we parted last year, she said that we would get back together next year. ”
Yun Yi smiled, her expression was a little dazed, she subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, and said softly: "Well, it's not, but I seem to have heard that I have a body, so I didn't come." ”
"Really?"
Mrs. Yu is pregnant, and this news aroused the interest of the Mu sisters. Because the ministers in the capital vaguely knew the promise of the queen mother, Mrs. Ruoyu was registered as a concubine when she was born.
Several women sat together and chattered.
Huaxi sat aside and listened to the gossip, and sure enough, no matter the time and space, the gossip fire in the bottom of a woman's heart would never be extinguished. Thinking of Mu Xiangqing's reminder a few years ago, Mrs. Yu's smart and infatuated woman was finally able to correct now.
Speaking of Mrs. Yu, Huaxi didn't hate it, although I don't know if there was any other purpose behind her few intimate contacts, just looking at this person, she still appreciates her talent and single-mindedness.
After chatting for a while, Chen Hongfei and Mu Xiuyuan came back. Huaxi and others greeted Chen Hongfei.
Chen Hongfei nodded, walked to Yun Yi's side, and asked, "The South Island Liulin Pavilion Poetry Fighting Meeting is about to start, Xuan has already asked people to prepare a sedan chair, are you resting here or going over together?" ”
Yun Yi lowered her head slightly and said shyly: "Enough lunch break." Anyway, I took a sedan chair to the past, and when I arrived, I was also sitting, and it was okay. Besides, it's not sure yet, so we'll see when we get back. In case of...... Besides, my sisters are here, and I want to be with them. ”
Chen Hongfei said softly: "Okay, it's up to you." If I don't have it at the poetry meeting later, you must let Frangipani and Mamma accompany you, don't walk around. ”
Yun Yi blushed, glanced at the people in the room, bit her lip and whispered, "Master Shi, there are still people in the house......
Chen Hongfei chuckled, not caring very much, "Let's go"
Yun Lin didn't pay attention, they just looked at Yun Yi and Chen Hongfei, and they were so envious. But Huaxi heard Chen Hongfei's tone was unusually soft, and then looked at Yun Yi's shy appearance, but she thought of something else, and wandered around Yun Yi with a little doubt, and finally her eyes fell on Yun Yi's right hand on her lower abdomen, through a trace of understanding.
Chen Hongfei accompanied Yunyi to the sedan chair, and Huaxi and others also followed.
There is still a distance from the bamboo forest courtyard to the South Island, although the terrain is low and gentle, but the relatively flat ground is still slightly undulating, Huaxi sits in the sedan chair, and from time to time hears the outside grandmother telling the sedan chair bearer to "carefully step", "walk steadily" Yunyun, more and more sure of their own guesses.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, the voices of people became louder and louder, and everyone arrived at the Liulin Pavilion.
Huaxi put on a hat and got off the sedan chair, and saw Chen Hongfei holding Yunyi through the light veil and telling her to be careful.
In her ears, Yun Xin sighed: "The fourth sister is really a good life." ”
Yun Ning echoed: "Yes, Wang Luo treats her so well, it's really enviable to look at." Sister, did you say no? ”
Yun Ning pulled Yun Lin, Yun Lin didn't speak, looked around, didn't know what to see.
Huaxi looked at Chen Hongfei's cautious appearance through the hat, and secretly worried, if Yunyi was really pregnant, it would be Chen Hongfei's first child, but there was still a concubine on her head. Just looking at Yun Yi's attitude towards the two grandmothers just now, I am afraid that the concubine will not have a simple role.
"Girls, let's all go in" Yunyi turned around and saw that Huaxi and they didn't follow, so she asked Frangipani to come over and call someone.
Yun Lin and the three of them followed up, Hua Xi retracted her thoughts, and followed Yun Lin and the others into the door of the museum.
The Liulin Pavilion is not big, it is concave shaped, a total of 15 rooms, all of which are wooden houses and lattice doors, and one of the three sides is a hall.
The hall that the poetry club opened for the female guests alone was set up in the West Flower Hall, with a green gauze curtain hanging from the pavilion window, and a landscape screen at the door to block the outside view.
Chen Hongfei accompanied Yunyi to the door of the West Flower Hall, handed her over to Frangipani, and went to the main hall in the north.
When Huaxi and the others entered, there were already people sitting in the hall, and the three sisters of Yunlin knew each other, only Huaxi had just arrived, and she did not grow up in the capital, and the only ones she knew were the two sisters of the Zong family.
The two grandmothers sent by the princess stood on the edge of the screen in the north, and Suxin helped Yunyi to sit in the south.
Yunyi pulled Huaxi to introduce her, and the remaining three people, one is Tian Ruyu, the youngest daughter of Tian Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the other is He, the second daughter of Lord He of the Ministry of Officials, and the other is the alternate imperial concubine Qi Sanniang. In addition to Tian Ruyu, the other two Huaxi have also heard of it.
Huaxi and the three of them met and saluted, which was regarded as acquaintance. Yun Lin and Yun Ning surrounded Qi Sanniang to talk, Yun Xin sat with Wanlan and Youlan together, and Tian Ruyu and He exchanged ears on the other side.
Huaxi saw that everyone was gathered in one place to talk, so she sat down next to Yunyi, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Fourth sister, do you have it too?" ”
