Chapter 1032: Flower Viewing Banquet
Concubine Rong Guifei wanted to choose a concubine for King Rui, and she couldn't hide it, as soon as she went to the emperor's request, the queen received the news.
The queen was not so surprised.
Princess Rui has been gone for a while, and King Rui is not an infatuated person, so naturally he will not really keep the festival for Princess Rui, besides, women in the world abound to observe festivals, and men keep festivals, heh......
When the queen received the letter, the crown princess was with her, and when she saw that the queen seemed to smile, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Why did the concubine Niangniang suddenly choose a concubine for King Rui again?" ”
The queen was so thoughtful that she really laughed when she heard the words, but she didn't rush to answer the princess's question, but asked her: "You have been married to the prince for a while, but is there any movement?" ”
The queen's meaning was still quite obvious, and when she spoke, her eyes were already aimed at the crown princess's stomach.
The crown princess was not stupid, she immediately understood what the queen meant, and her face couldn't help but turn red, but then, she couldn't help but be a little nervous: "Erchen, Erchen doesn't know ......"
"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask casually," the queen saw that the crown princess was about to say something unfavorable, and hurriedly reassured, "I asked you this, not to urge you, but to tell you, what is the concubine anxious about." ”
What is the concubine anxious about?
The crown princess was stunned when she heard this, and then she had a flash of inspiration, "The queen mother said that the concubine wants King Rui to have a child earlier?" ”
The queen gave the crown princess a teachable look, and said lightly: "King Rui accounted for a long word, I think back then, because of this, but there have been a few waves, otherwise, how can the concubine be so big-hearted, now, I probably want to repeat the old things of the year." ”
The crown princess must not know the old things back then, she was still young at that time, and it was impossible for her grandfather and father to tell her much about the affairs of the court, and a few important things were still told to her by her grandfather before she got married.
However, born in Xiangmen and married into the East Palace, the crown princess is not stupid, and she still has the sensitivity she should have, so even if she doesn't know what happened back then, she can guess a thing or two from the queen's words.
"It's the retainer who doesn't fight ......," the crown princess said this, and she couldn't help but feel a little bitter and anxious.
She also wanted to give birth to the eldest son for the prince, but there was no movement in her belly, and she was also anxious, but she couldn't help it.
The prince never urged her, except for her, there was no one else around to serve, she thought of the prince's goodness, and naturally she didn't want the prince to be suppressed because of the affairs of future generations.
"It's not that serious, but that's it, you and the prince are both young, don't worry, if you really ...... That's fate, just like I was back then, and there was no way to do it. ”
Back then, the Wang family gave birth to her eldest son before her, and she didn't know how much idleness she had because of this, but when she saw it later, she didn't think it was anything, but at the current age of the crown princess, I'm afraid it is unlikely that she can see it.
As the queen thought, the crown princess was indeed a little unsightly.
She was really anxious to give birth to a son for the prince, not that she had to fight for this breath, she was just worried that the prince would be idle because of this, if it was just herself, she didn't care.
After the crown princess returned to the East Palace, she sat and thought for a long time, and asked someone to invite her mother.
......
A few days later, Concubine Rong set up a flower-viewing banquet in the palace, and invited the daughters of various families in Beijing to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers.
This flower-viewing banquet came really suddenly, and the guests invited were even more incomprehensible to what Concubine Rong was going to do.
In the past, Concubine Rong wanted to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and the girls of officials below the fourth grade in Beijing would never be invited, and the concubines above the fourth grade were never invited, but this time, there was no distinction between the concubines and the official positions!
Even, some people who have lost their virtue and have hindered their reputation have been invited.
For example, Gu Ningwei, the eldest lady of the Yongning Hou Mansion, and Xu Ying, the second lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, were all invited!
Everyone couldn't figure out what Concubine Rong meant, but they didn't dare to disobey, and came to Zhaoyang Palace with anxiety.
Rong Guifei loves peony grace, so, Zhaoyang Palace planted a lot of peonies, the palace gardeners are very good at this, I heard that it is in winter, Rong Guifei is also peony in this palace is often blooming.
It is the feast of flowers, it is natural to have flowers, it is the height of summer, the flowers and grass are growing very well, more than a dozen girls dressed up in the garden, gathered in the garden, it is even more delicate than the delicate flowers in this garden.
Concubine Rong looked at these girls with a graceful and generous smile, and the fan shook lightly and whispered to Yanruo: "Here, looking at the outstanding ones, they are worthy of Ren'er in all aspects, and they are the eldest lady of the Protector's Mansion, and the rest, hum, are just some partners!" ”
If Yan knew the true purpose of Concubine Rong, he said when he heard the words: "Niangniang is a motherly feeling, and she is heartbroken for the prince, the person you pick is always good, didn't you also say it, there is only one princess, as long as the princess stands out in all aspects, she can help the prince in the future, and the side concubine is worse, and there is nothing bad." ”
"That's just as well." Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said lightly.
......
Yongning Hou Mansion.
Today's Yongning Marquis Mansion is filled with a strange smell up and down.
For no other reason, the eldest lady, who had been silent for a long time, was actually invited into the palace for a banquet by Concubine Rong!
It is said that such a good thing is now that only the second lady can catch it, why has it changed this time?
The people below can't figure it out, and the Xu family can't figure it out either.
Then, before she could come up with a chubby Yin, there was another person from the East Palace!
The crown princess said that she wanted to invite An Sheng to get together.
Of course, not only An Sheng was invited, but also the second young lady of the Wenguo Mansion.
Xu originally wanted to ask An Sheng for questions, but he didn't dare to delay at this time, and hurriedly asked An Sheng to leave for the East Palace quickly.
The carriage drove around and soon left the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
It was An Sheng's own people who drove the car, and Qinghui was not taboo, and asked An Sheng in a low voice: "Miss, why did you say that the noble concubine in the palace suddenly invited the eldest lady to the banquet?" ”
Qinghui really couldn't figure out what was going on.
I've never heard of Gu Ningwei having any dealings with Concubine Rong, why did she suddenly come to invite someone?
An Sheng didn't seem to think as much as Qinghui thought, and only said: "Didn't you say it, to hold a flower viewing banquet, not only the eldest lady was invited, but also so many young ladies." ”
"But ......" Qinghui still wants to say, but even if it is a flower viewing banquet, it should be a young lady, right?
But when the words came to his lips, he saw An Sheng's indifferent face, so he didn't say anything.
Forget it, what does she want to do, it's a good thing that the concubine doesn't invite Miss, if she really invites Miss, she has to worry!
