Chapter 322: Fruit (2)
、、、、、、、、、、 The old lady was afraid that she would embarrass the Guogong Mansion, so she had to mention her life. Peony remembered them one by one in my heart and didn't mention them. After the car of the foreign women assembled outside the palace gate at the time, they did not get off immediately, but stopped to the west of the place where they got off, and the front of the car was facing the east, and they stopped in turn according to their respective levels. The clan relatives are in the east, and the different surnames are in the west. Peony looked at it, there were many familiar figures, not to mention Princess Fen and others, as well as Xueniang's mother, Mrs. Dou, Li Manniang and others, even if there were a few people around me who had spoken, their hearts settled down.
The music sounded, the queen was seated, and the music stopped. The music started, Si Bin led the foreign women to enter the place in turn, after everyone was determined, the music stopped, Si Zan said goodbye, and everyone worshipped. Peony was the same as everyone around her, but she just lowered her head, didn't dare to look around, and didn't even see what the queen was. I only heard the music again, and knew that at this time Si Bin had led the person to kneel forward to congratulate, and sure enough, the music stopped, and I could only hear the person in front of him to congratulate loudly. He Bi, the music started, Si Bin led the people back to their original places, the music stopped, Si Zan let him bow again, and Peony bowed down with everyone.
After standing still, another priest said: "Command." So he bowed again, only to hear the man: "The celebration of the new appointment is the same as that of the wife." Someone else said, "Goodbye." Peony had no choice but to bow down again. She's not a big month, and although her hands and feet are quite flexible, she just tries to be as careful as possible when she gets up, and the people around her will secretly help her, so it's not a lot of effort. Then Sibin led the people out in turn, and then played music again, and when everyone was out of the door, the music stopped.
After the court, he has to receive a banquet, as usual, the clan is on one side, the foreign surname is on the other, and it is an endless toss, every move is decided, and the dish is already cold in front of everyone, and it is very boring. Peony made her back ache, and she couldn't help but complain secretly. It's like days, ah, no, seconds like years. She was thinking, from today onwards, Jiang Changyang has a full seven-day vacation, how should she exploit him? There she kept her head down and pretended to be honest, but she didn't know that someone was staring at her.
The county lord of Qinghua looked at the peony's bulging abdomen gloomily, and his mood was very depressed. Everyone has it, why doesn't she always have it? Since congratulating Bai Axin that day, she has also succeeded several times, but there is no movement, what's wrong?
The county lord of Pingkang happened to be sitting next to her, and when he followed her gaze, he saw the peony, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh, He Peony is really blessed." She should be grateful to you, otherwise she wouldn't know how miserable it would have been. Then he pushed Qinghua and said in a low voice: "Do you remember my cousin?" She was married and pregnant. But you, who married first, happen to be left behind. When will the sisters congratulate you, the Liu family is now waiting to inherit the incense, you have to hurry. ”
People say that people don't step on people's feet when their feet hurt, but this Pingkang is a dead stumbling with her generation, and the old revenge has not been avenged and new hatred has been added. The face of the county lord of Qinghua turned pale all of a sudden, and he clutched the wine glass fiercely, almost not splashing it on the face of the county lord of Pingkang, but he remembered that this was in front of the queen, and she was no longer as good as before, Fang barely held back, and it was considered that he did not have a seizure.
Pingkang was very happy to see her, and said in a low voice: "I heard that sister, you have raised a lovely child again?" How does it compare to the Hu Xuan'er you used to have? Liu Shu is really big, he doesn't even care about this, it can be seen that he has changed his sex for you. ”
Tsinghua sneered and was silent, only waiting until the end of the twelfth tour of the wine, Si Zan said: "You can get up." Everyone stood up, lined up and saluted, and Fang poured the residual wine in the cup on Pingkang's head and face with lightning speed. Everyone was surprised, everyone in the Wei Wangfu was afraid that Tsinghua would cause trouble, but she would cause trouble. So they were all worried and disgusted, her sister-in-law immediately stepped forward to persuade her, and personally took a handkerchief to Pingkang to wipe his face and make amends, Pingkang smiled slightly, and said meanly: "It's okay, she is not going well now, she is in a bad mood, it is inevitable that there are some abnormalities, I don't care about her." After speaking, he raised his head and bowed down to make his last salute.
Tsinghua looked at the people in the Shangwei Palace's disappointment with a little disgust, and couldn't help but feel sad and cold. She patiently raised her chin and turned her head indifferently, but saw that the people on the other side, including Peony, were all looking at her when they heard the movement, so she forgot all the pain and unhappiness, limped her head high, went down the steps, and went down.
When the salute was finished, everyone withdrew in turn, and everyone was looking for their own people to gather and return home, so all the people who knew each other gathered together and talked to each other. Peony talked to Mrs. Dou, Li Manniang and others, looked left and right, and looked for the old lady and Princess Fen, Chen and others talking on the side, all of them were smiling, so they also followed, standing next to the old lady. Princess Fen and the Chen family both asked her if she could bear it, and the old lady also said with concern: "It's not easy for you to be tired for half a day, go to the car to sit and rest first, and I'll come after a few words with the princess." After speaking, he looked around a few times, but he didn't see Mrs. Du's shadow, so he frowned slightly: "Have you seen Mrs. Du?" ”
Peony shook his head: "No." Did you go back to the car first? When she came out of Suzhangmen, she had seen Mrs. Du's back, but she never saw her again after she came out.
The old lady didn't ask any more questions, but said, "You go back first." ”
Princess Fen asked Mama Zang, who was following closely by her, to send a peony: "You send Mrs. He over, there are many people, I'm afraid that it won't be good if you accidentally bump into it." ”
Peony saluted Princess Fen and thanked her, but she heard someone laughing not far away: "Mrs. Qi! Then I saw Mrs. Qi and the county lord of Qinghua walking one after the other, both with black faces, one without looking at the other, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a lot of resentment between the two. Hearing someone shouting, Mrs. Qi raised her eyes and looked over, and when she saw the peony, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on the peony's belly, and her expression was extremely complicated for a while.
Seeing her staring at herself, Peony nodded generously to her. I haven't seen her for more than a year, Mrs. Qi has aged and lost a lot of weight, and it is not easy to look at the day. When Mrs. Qi saw Peony greeting her, she originally hated and hated it, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she saw Princess Fen and others beside her, she couldn't help but nod with Peony. As soon as he nodded his head, he heard Tsinghua next to him sneer. Mrs. Qi couldn't help but get angry, turned her head and glared at the county lord of Qinghua, and didn't say hello to her acquaintances, so she walked forward angrily.
The county lord of Qinghua stood for a while, glared at Peony resentfully, and went away. bumped into several people on the way, but she ignored them at all, looking very angry and obedient.
Peony was stared at by her inexplicably, but then she understood why, the wives were all well-informed, and the county lord of Qinghua had just gone not far away, and someone whispered: "Queen Shicai sent someone to tell the county lord of Qinghua that her legs and feet are inconvenient and her body is not comfortable, so she does not have to come to the court meeting in the future." Princess Wei was also left to speak. ”
"Probably for the sake of the right thing for her to drink and pour the county lord of Pingkang, right?"
"She's also domineering. It is really rude to dare to look for trouble in such a place at such a time, and it is already a shame to save face for the Wei Wangfu without being strictly punished on the spot. ”
I see! Only then did Peony understand why Mrs. Qi and the county lord of Qinghua were so resentful. Although the queen's words were good, it was to sympathize with the inconvenience of the county lord of Qinghua, but in fact, she was deprived of her qualifications to participate in the court meeting in disguise. For the nobles of the clan who have already married, not being treated by the queen will not only be disgraced by herself, but also her husband's family will be affected. So how much Mrs. Qi hates Tsinghua, and how angry Tsinghua is, it is impossible to overstate. Tsinghua is notorious and losing power more and more, what does Liu Chang plan to do?
The abdomen moved like bubbles, and suddenly disappeared, the fetus moved, Peony woke up, reached out and gently stroked her lower abdomen, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips. No matter what Liu Chang plans to do, what will become of Tsinghua, and how painful and sad Mrs. Qi and Liu Chengcai are, they have nothing to do with her. Since then, her life has been closely linked with the baby in her womb and Jiang Changyang, they are her life.
Peony raised her head, held the hand handed over by Mama Zang, step by step, and walked steadily towards her carriage, if she met a familiar and friendly person, she would stop and say hello a few times, and if she met someone who looked down on her and disdained to greet her as a woman, she would laugh away. She has hers to go, and others have someone else's to go. Everyone has their own life guidelines and likes and dislikes, she can't force others to like herself, and others can't force her to like people she doesn't like, so try to live according to her own heart, it's that simple.
When Peony arrived in front of her car, Mother Lin and Shu'er had already stepped forward to greet her, and after thanking Mama Zang, she asked Mrs. Mingdu if she had never returned, so she got into the car and waited for the old lady without mentioning it.
There was a brazier in the car, and Mother Lin handed a cup of hot soup to Peony, gently rubbed her knees for her in distress, and said with a smile: "You can see the queen mother?" What is it like? How is the palace banquet? ”
Peony was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "I'm ashamed to say it, I didn't dare to look at it before, but then I was far away and didn't see it clearly." Palace feast? It is a cold dish. ”
Mother Lin and Shu'er were very disappointed, it turned out that this was the case, this royal family was really, they bowed so much, how could they not even give up hot dishes?
But I heard someone whispering next to the car: "Is it Danniang?" ”
Peony hurriedly asked Shu'er to pull the curtain, and saw the lord of Pingkang standing proudly in front of the car, smiling like a flower: "I heard Mrs. Li say that you are happy, and I came to congratulate you." ”
People came to congratulate her, she naturally had to count the courtesy, Peony wanted to get out of the car, and the lord of Pingkang stopped her: "No need, I'm in a good mood today, I made an appointment to play polo, and I'm leaving." So he went away.
After a while, the old lady came back and said with a frown: "The lady hasn't come back yet?" ”
