Chapter 37: The Birthday Banquet

Seeing Ran Zijing in front of him, um... The mood was a little complicated, especially in the face of the sarcasm on Ran Zijing's cold face, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Fortunately, the inexplicable anger immediately entangled with him.

The first time I was played so badly, I didn't even know that such a big living person came in! The men were not cautious and did not do it until they were at the bedside. made her lose face in front of her brother, the big, big kind.

Xuanyuan Hao! Ran Ziyu inhaled deeply and exhaled... Tell yourself that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Feng Shui takes turns, and flowers are not red for a hundred days... Xuanyuan Hao can't die well!

After a moment of silence, he put on his profane clothes, and after a casual glance, he saw a piece of paper under the bed. It should have been blown off the bed when Fang Caigang's anger hit.

Pick it up, there are words on it, it seems to be all medicinal materials, "Millennial white ginseng, Wang Buliuxing, Rehmannia rehmannia, jade hibiscus, condensing fragrant jade dew grass...."A page full of medicinal materials, some know, some don't.

A few days ago, when she was in the Regent's Palace, Mama Bai brought her a bowl of black soup every morning, and she couldn't use breakfast until she finished it. Mama Bai refused to tell her what kind of decoction it was, only that it was ordered by His Royal Highness. She drank it for a few days, and it was so bitter that she didn't eat at all. This recipe should be the decoction.

The initial speculation is that it should be a poison, drinking it every day and slowly accumulating toxicity, and when she finishes her errands and has no use value, she will almost die of poison. However, it is still necessary to take it to Bai Zhuo to see, if it is really poison, it is better to develop an antidote earlier.

"Miss!" When Xinnu and Ah Yue came, they saw the broken white tents all over the ground, and the messy quilts on the ground, mixed with erosion in the chaos. "Miss, are you alright?" It seems that the mystery man came again last night.

Ran Ziyu waved his hand, as if he didn't care, "It's okay, it's okay, if I'm not mistaken, today is the old lady's birthday." A few days ago, I was preparing with great fanfare, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of guests. ”

Now, the Guogong Mansion has been restored to its former glory, and two second-rank generals have been sealed, as well as a crown princess who has not passed through the door, and there must be more guests this time than before. The old lady should be happy.

Look out the window, the sun is out, it doesn't seem to be early. Her eyes lit up, so she came to ask herself to go out for a walk, so that the guests could see the crown princess personally sealed by Emperor Hui, and satisfy the old lady's face, but... It's good to send a servant girl, why let Ran Zijing come.

Ran Ziyu let out a long sigh and sat in front of the makeup mirror, this dark circle... At first glance, it is overindulgence and shame!

"Where's Cai Wei? Haven't woken up yet? ”

"Slave, let's call Wei girl!" Xin Nu and Ah Yue glanced at each other, and then went down to prepare.

Ran Zijing was haunted by the angry qi that came from nowhere, and when the trouble was solved, he was already outside the Lingyun Pavilion. He was in the light and the enemy was in the dark, so he didn't act rashly, and left after sweeping the Lingyun Pavilion with a pair of cold eyes.

This Ran Ziyu is really a water-based poplar, eating things inside and out.

Several sets of carved pear Hunan wood tables and chairs were placed on the side of the lotus pond, and a group of girls in brocade clothes and their own personal maids gathered together to joke and play.

Ran Zixian wore a large emerald pink peony embroidered silk skirt and dragged a pink scattered flower skirt. After all, it was winter, and Ayara didn't keep warm, so she put on a thick brocade fur coat. Two jade spring hairpins were inserted into the meticulous bun. Although she is half-veiled, she is still the most eye-catching girl in the crowd because of her beautiful and moist eyebrows and gorgeous dress.

"Third Miss, it's not like I haven't seen your beauty, but I'm stingy and won't let us see you this time." The woman in blue who spoke, wearing a gilt and wrapping vine hairpins around the blue butterfly, was the youngest daughter of Xiao Tong, the current father-in-law of the country, that is, Xiao Yun'er, the sister of Queen Xiao.

Ran Zixian replied calmly, "Recently, I changed to a new fat powder, and I have a small rash, and I will be fine in a few days." ”

"Yo, my daughter's face is the most expensive, and I don't ask for new fat powder or anything, just want to suit myself." Xiao Yun'er half-covered her face with her sleeve and said with a smile. When Jing Anhou was discussing with his father, he had already mentioned that the face of the third miss of the Ran family was ruined by Miss Yu, and he thought she didn't know, hehe. "After a few days, the third lady's face will be better, and Yun'er will come to you to cook wine and enjoy the snow, and you are not allowed to cover your beauty at that time."

A trace of impatience flashed in Ran Zixian's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "That's for sure." ”

This Xiao Yun'er is really ..... happened to see Ran Zijing passing by, so he happily went over and pulled his arm affectionately, "Where is the big brother going again?" The eldest brother has been chatting with his father and them in Ningxinzhai, and now it's time to talk to us, right? ”

Ran Zijing originally wanted to go back to Ning Xinzhai directly, but he didn't want to be pulled here by Ran Zixian, so many colorful women, the smell of fat powder was strong, which made his already chaotic heart even more irritable.

Xiao Yun'er walked over slowly, hooking up the smile that had been practiced thousands of times in the mirror, "Some days have passed, and now Yu'er doesn't know whether to call you Brother Jing or General Yasukuni?" ”

Ran Zixian suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, and returned to Brother Jing, disgusting.

"Miss Xiao is casual." Ran Zijing withdrew his hand and said lightly.

"Brother Jing! Brother Jing! ”

Ran Zijing left in a hurry. Xiao Yun'er pursed her lips and stomped her feet, very dissatisfied. Ran Zixian smiled with satisfaction, she was more than enough to deal with this Xiao Yun'er.

Ran Ziyu saw a group of girls beside the lotus pond from a distance, and decided to take a long detour to Ning Xinzhai and stay away from there.

"Miss, why don't we just go over? The road is slippery in the cold, and the detour is not worth it. Cai Wei asked puzzled.

Although the snowy road has been swept, it is still very slippery, not to mention that there are few people walking on this road, and the servants who sweep the snow are lazy and do not sweep it seriously. is a person who practices martial arts, and it is difficult for her. Thanks to Xuanyuan Hao, his body was painful and weak, as if it was not his own.

So he and Caiwei supported each other and struggled forward.

Ningxinzhai main hall.

The old lady on the first seat was dressed in a dark brocade dress that was elegantly tailored. On the first throne on the left hand side sat Ran Shicang, and on the next throne next to him sat the dignified and elegant Mrs. Si. Ran Zijing Ran Ziming sat upright, listening carefully to the conversation between his father and Jing Anhou, Si Hou, Lu Xiang, etc., and was sometimes pointed out by the elders, so he humbly inserted a sentence or two of his own opinions.

Mrs. Si smiled and looked at the high-spirited appearance of her two sons, and felt that all the suffering she had suffered was worth it.

When the old lady was young, she also came from the clouds and rain, and she naturally understood the war that the men talked about, but when she was older, she couldn't help but feel bored when she heard this, and she just wanted to see the lively appearance of her children and grandchildren.

"Little Miss is here!" The half-old servant sent a message.

"Come in." The old lady chuckled. No matter what, Yu Yatou is also the crown princess of Emperor Hui, and she is actually the face of my country's government. It's just that Yu Yatou has a high spirit, and she was snubbed in the past. When the young master came to pay her birthday greetings, she didn't come. Only then did she send her eldest grandson to invite Yu Yatou in person.

"After this Yu girl sealed the crown princess, even the old lady's birthday banquet will come later, she is really still a child." Mrs. Si felt that the old lady's attitude towards Ran Ziyu was very different, and she took the tea and laughed. Remind the old lady not to forget Ran Ziyu's great rebellion in the past.

The old lady glanced at her and snorted in displeasure. "Cang'er."

Ran Shicang glanced at Mrs. Si fiercely and reminded her to speak carefully.

Ran Ziyu wore a cloud skirt with a snow-white veil, a strand of soft long hair hanging down on her chest, and a clear broken jade gilt hairpin was inserted in her simple and refreshing bun. The eyebrows on the snow skin are like the masterpieces of the best painters, the long big eyes seem to contain autumn water, the natural pure and feminine elegance, and the red lips are just right. Wearing a blood-red monochrome cloak, there is a hint of evil in the beauty. Like a white flower blooming in a pool of blood, there is a drop of blood remaining on the white petals.

Everyone remained silent, and their eyes looked at the blessed girl in the hall intentionally or unintentionally. Yuwen Chong took the tea, took a sip, and wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Yu'er is late, make amends to the old lady." Hanging down the eyebrows and eyes, the beautiful face has just the right smile.

Ran Zijing sneered and looked away in disgust. Ran Ziming looked at his little sister with a smile.

"It's not too late, it's not too late, you come here, let the old body take a good look at you." The old lady smiled, a soft light in her dim eyes. Looking at Yu Yatou's soft attitude, I don't think I care about the previous suspicions, and I secretly exaggerate her generosity in my heart.

"Yes." Ran Ziyu replied sweetly, slowly stepped forward, and let the old lady take her hand and caress it lovingly.

Prime Minister Lu Cheng said sourly, "The little lady is really charming, and she has this good skin, and she will have a happy and luxurious life." "His daughter has the blood of the prince, so she should be given a name. Queen Xiao decided that Jin Wei was the crown princess, but this fox and charming enchantress was intercepted, and Jin Wei cried for a long time behind closed doors in the room.

It's just that when others heard this, they only thought it was a reasonable compliment to the little lady, so they sincerely echoed it.

Hearing the heads and faces of the guests all boasting about their granddaughters, the old lady's face was naturally bright, and her eyes became softer.

Ran Ziyu beckoned gently. Cai Wei presented the wrapped gift. "Old lady, accept Yu'er's thin gift."

The old lady nodded, and the red jade beside her took the gift.

"What kind of gift did the good granddaughter give to the old body?" The old lady knew that Queen Xiao sent a lot of good things some time ago, and any one of them was better than the ones given by other grandchildren.

Ran Ziyu smiled lightly, "Yu'er doesn't have anything good." Emperor Hui once rewarded a pair of shark beads in the South China Sea, and now there is only one left, Yu'er will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and hope that the old lady will not dislike it. ”

Hearing the word shark beads, Mrs. Si's eyes lit up suddenly, and at the same time tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

Everyone only said that the little lady was filial, and such a precious thing was given away.

Ran Shicang came back for so many days and heard that Yu'er had hurt Xian'er's face, and would rather waste the two South China Sea shark beads than give one to Xian'er to treat her face. It turned out that he left the South China Sea shark pearl to the old lady, and his heart was a little touched.

The old lady's kind smile froze for a moment, and her eyes were no longer as soft as before. Leaving no trace, he let go of Ran Ziyu's hand. "Hongyu, show Yu Yatou to sit."

"Yes."

Ran Ziyu was led to a seat next to Ran Ziming, and after Cai Wei took off her cloak, she sat down, and a maidservant brought hot tea.

"Yu girl has a heart." The old lady was still smiling, but her voice seemed to contain a handful of sand. knew that Ran Zixian was most lacking in shark beads now, but he sent it to her. Isn't this forcing her to make a choice?

Mrs. Si was overjoyed, and the old lady relented, but this little slut was a grudge-holder, and others couldn't see it, but she was clear that the old lady's hot face was attached to Ran Ziyu's cold ass. Ran Shicang looked a little inexplicable, but he also felt the old lady's displeasure.
