Chapter 236, the three banquets of the royal mansion
Su Jingfan's death is a sad thing for the fifth room of the Su family, after all, a child who has been raised to nine years old was killed by those beasts like this!
Other families in Lin'an City, or ordinary people's homes, are also more strict with the half-grown children in the family, and tell the children not to go out at will if they are okay to avoid similar things.
Time is the best medicine, two or three months have passed, and there is no longer the slightest sadness in the fifth room of the Su family, after all, Su Jingfan is just a concubine, except for his biological mother Aunt Liu, who is crazy because of this, everyone else lives the same.
At the end of December, the acting princess, the princess of Nanyue, gave birth to a son, who was the eldest son of the acting king.
The eldest son of the king was born, and he was born to the princess of Nanyue Kingdom, and at this time, it naturally spread quickly throughout Lin'an City, and even Nanyue Kingdom also knew about it.
During the pregnancy of the princess, it is said that there were also concubines of the princess who tried to kill the child, but in the end they were unsuccessful......
Men are inferior to women, so the acting king's mansion is not only washing the three major offices this time, it is said that the acting king is also preparing to hold a full moon wine.
Su Qingyi's side, looking at her two daughters, was full of sadness, and at the same time hated her stomach for not being angry, she was pregnant two years earlier, but she gave birth to two daughters in a row. Only sons inherit the family business, and daughters will marry off sooner or later, most people think so......
Because the princess of Nanyue gave birth to a son, her back was straightened, and she was full of care about taking care of her son, and she was negligent about the affairs of the palace.
Because of the negligence of the acting princess, many maids in the acting king's mansion had the opportunity to approach the acting king and successfully climbed into the acting king's bed.
The man is already affectionate, not to mention that the acting king is still growing up in the royal family, and in two or three years, he has already forgotten about Su Qingyi, the side concubine who once personally went to the emperor to ask for marriage!
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the third banquet of the eldest son of the acting king was held on behalf of the king's mansion, and the Su family, as the maiden family of the acting king's side concubine, was naturally invited, and the Su Jinyan sisters naturally attended the banquet with the Xie family.
The Acting Palace's distinguished guests gathered, and the emperor's several princes all attended, and even the emperor also came to the Acting Palace.
After all, the princess is the princess of Nanyue, and the birth of a child on behalf of the princess is the beginning of the integration of the blood of the two countries.
If the Great Shun Dynasty wants to maintain peace and stability for a long time, it must appease the South Yue Kingdom, otherwise the north and the south will attack at that time......
Of course, before the princess gave birth, the emperor was also worried that the child would not be born, or that it was a daughter, but now that it is a son, everything is easy to say.
Because of the haste of the three banquets, no one was sent from the Nanyue Kingdom, and the messenger of the Dashun Dynasty to deliver the letter was only halfway there!
The emperor's presence in person was such a favor for the Acting Prince's Mansion, partly because the emperor fancied the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the other reason was to show his love for his younger brother......
With the emperor present, the civil and military officials who came to congratulate him, as well as the ladies and ladies of the family, were naturally quite restrained.
Su Jinyan stood behind Xie Shi with low eyebrows, although he lowered his head, his excellent appearance still attracted the attention of many ladies of the family, and those noble ladies were also jealous. The eyes of most of the young talents present fell on the three Su Jinyan sisters, even if they were the princes of the royal family, the princes of the royal palace were not exempt from vulgarity.
The seventh prince has been working hard to improve his strength in recent years, and rarely interacts with the Su family, one is worried about bringing unnecessary disasters to Su Jinyan, and the other is that he was born as a prince, which is a conspicuous existence in itself.
Although he sees the portrait every day, where can the portrait be compared with the real person, so the Seven Princes at this time are very excited, if it weren't for being surrounded by many children of the family, and there are many ladies who secretly send Qiubo, he really wants to talk to Su Jinyan to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
The princess came out with the child in her arms, the civil and military officials, and the ladies of the family sent good words one by one without money, obviously a child who was only three days old, but was said to be a handsome and dashing young brother in Yushu, Su Jinyan covered his mouth and wanted to laugh.
But after thinking about it, the acting king and the acting princess are both very outstanding characters, and the combination of the two will naturally not be bad for the child born, unless the child is crooked and fails to inherit the appearance of his father.
The acting king and the acting princess smiled brightly, and Su Qingyi, the side concubine who was on the side, felt a little uncomfortable!
She remembered that when she gave birth to two daughters before, she just held a small banquet during the full moon and invited a few familiar wives to get together, but now this boy, who was only three days old, took such a lot of pains.
Su Jinyan pulled Xie Shi's sleeve and prompted Xie Shi to look at Su Qingyi.
Xie Shi was puzzled, but following his daughter's gaze, he saw the righteous daughter's bitter and hateful expression, and Xie Shi panicked.
This is at the third banquet of the eldest son of the acting king, how can the righteous daughter be so unbalanced, this bitter face, if the emperor and the acting king see it, wouldn't it be ......
The identity of the righteous daughter is not as noble as the princess of Nanyue, if the emperor or the acting king is really angry, it will not be worth the loss.
"Concubine Niangniang......" Xie came to Su Qingyi and signaled Su Qingyi with his eyes to pay attention to the proportions of the occasion.
Su Qingyi also realized that her expression was wrong, so she didn't look away at the moment, and when she turned her head again, she was already smiling!
Su Jinyan looked at Su Qingyi's forced smile, but there was a trace of bitterness hidden in his heart, and he sighed in his heart, and at the same time felt worthless for Su Qingyi, but more helpless.
Women are dependent on men to survive, and it is no longer normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in this era of male superiority and inferiority.......
"Lord, princess, the concubine is a little unwell, and I want to go back to the room to rest first!" Su Qingyi only felt that this situation was very dazzling, she was afraid that she would not be able to pretend to be able to do so, so she took a few bites at random at this moment, and got up to report to the acting king and the acting princess.
The acting king's face was embarrassed, and he also felt that Su Qingyi was a little sorry for the three banquets this time.
But he was helpless, the imperial brother personally talked with him in the imperial study for a long time that day, and he was also forced to do it, if he could, he was not willing to hold such a big banquet.
"Lord Wang, it's okay, Sister Su is unwell, then go back and rest first!" As a woman, the princess naturally knows the sadness of women, why shouldn't she?
At this moment, the princess spoke with a smile, not minding Su Qingyi leaving the table halfway.
The emperor on the throne frowned, a trace of displeasure in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and continued to talk with Qin Guifei and Yu Guifei next to him.
"Sister Meng, the seventh prince is now eighteen, and he has reached the age of marrying a concubine, I don't know which girl my sister is optimistic about, take advantage of the three banquets on behalf of the palace today, you might as well call over and let the emperor take a look, if it's good, wouldn't it be better to be happy?" Yu Guifei, who was in her early forties, had a decent smile on her well-maintained face, and smiled and spoke to Qin Guifei, who was sitting on the other side of the emperor.
Yu Guifei's proposal, in the name of joy and joy, was a good thing, but Qin Guifei felt ill-intentioned.
Not to mention that now the queen mother's three-year mourning period has not passed, and the whole country is not allowed to marry, that is, there is no three-year filial piety period, and the eldest son of the king washes three banquets, and her son's marriage, where does this come from joy?
"Sister Qiao, I'm afraid it's not appropriate at this time, the three-year mourning period has not passed, this is talking about marriage...... Besides, today is the third banquet for the eldest son of the king, which is not appropriate to say that this is a joy and a joy! After Qin Guifei reacted, she looked at Yu Guifei's smiling mouth, but she rolled her eyes in her heart.
Just as he was a fool, he looked at the girl for his son at the third banquet of the eldest son of the king's mansion.......
"Look at what Sister Meng said, my sister is also a good intention!" Yu Guifei came back unceremoniously, she and Qin Guifei are both concubines in the harem now, they are incompatible, and they are just sisters on the surface, but secretly no one wants the other to die?
"Sister Qiao is kind, sister understands, it's just ......" Qin Guifei smiled, rejected Yu Guifei, and did not forget to subconsciously look at the emperor.
But she sneered in her heart, her son's marriage, how could it be her turn to worry about the jade concubine who had always regarded her as a thorn in her eye, the dog was nosy with a mouse, and it was better to take care of her son's backyard if she had that leisure.
"Okay, this is the third banquet for the eldest son of the fifteenth brother, what are you doing discussing the marriage of the seventh brother?" The emperor's face sank, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
Yu Guifei, a woman, has become more and more unaware of proportions in recent years, relying on the power of her mother's Pingxi Palace, to set off a bloody storm in the harem, and now she still wants to meddle in the marriage of the seventh child.
Don't think that she doesn't know what her idea is, she just turns a blind eye, she really thinks that he can't see her and Lao \/Er's actions over the years......
"Your Majesty, the concubines are also for the good of the Seventh Prince, after all, there are few intimate people around the Seventh Prince, isn't the concubine also worried that Sister Meng doesn't understand? After all, the concubine is a person who has come over......, "Yu Guifei is still a little unwilling, and at this moment she opened her mouth coquettishly, obviously a forty-year-old woman, who is a grandmother, but she is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
Concubine Qin saw it in her eyes, and she only felt funny, no wonder the emperor didn't want to see Qiao's, it turned out that this person hadn't grown up yet......
At the banquet, Concubine Yu and Concubine Qin were still arguing with each other, and the emperor was very irritable, how could this woman be like this, and when she reached her age, she became jealous.
Qin Guifei wasn't like this before, why has it changed now?
In the backyard of the Daiwang Mansion, Su Qingyi returned to her courtyard and sat in front of the window in a depressed daze, she was angry in her heart and uncomfortable in her stomach.
"Sister Yi......" Su Jinyan took her sister and sister to Su Qingyi's yard and smiled at Su Qingyi.
She didn't know that at this moment, Su Qingyi was in a bad mood, but at this time she had to come, she was really worried that her sister would not be able to figure it out, and when the time came, if she did something, the emperor or the acting king would blame it, and it would be bad if it affected the diplomatic relations between the two countries!
The situation in the world, she is concerned, and naturally knows that the northern nomads are about to move, and on the side of Nanyue, with the seventh princess of Xixue who married and kissed in the past, gave birth to a son, she was favored by the prince of Nanyue, and it seemed that she was a little afraid to surrender!
The princess of Nanyue gave birth to a son at this time, probably in order to stabilize the diplomatic relations between the two countries and forever marry the Qin and Jin dynasties......
"First sister. , Sister Yan. , Sister, why are you here, why don't you talk to the ladies of the family who are familiar with each other in the front yard? Su Qingyi paused, put away the sorrow on his face, and forced a cheerful face.
She guessed a little that the three younger sisters must have come here to enlighten herself.
Her current status in the Daiwang Mansion is all due to Su Jinyan, and she must be content......
If she is not satisfied, she will lose her life, not to mention, her two daughters will become motherless children from now on, and in addition, it will affect the Su family, she can't do such an ungrateful thing!
"Sister Yi, the eldest sister and the younger sister want to come and see their niece, so I came with them!" Su Jinyan smiled and spoke.
For Su Qingyi, the righteous sister, Su Jinyan is actually very pleased, seeing that Su Qingyi can still talk to them with a smile at this moment, she also knew the sense of proportion before......
"Oh, the child is in the next room, I'll ask the nurse to bring it over....." Su Qingyi didn't think deeply, and didn't know that Su Jinyan had something to say.
Su Jinchu and Su Jingui came to see the two little nieces, but she wasn't, she deliberately came to her under this excuse!
"No need, sister Yi, my little sister and I can just go over by ourselves......" Su Jinchu hurriedly spoke after Su Qingyi's words fell, and she heard the meaning of the second sister's words.
After speaking, Su Jinchu took his little sister Su Jingui and walked towards the room next to him, leaving the space to Su Jinyan and Su Qingyi!
Su Jingui was ten years old, and she was well-behaved and sensible by Su Jinchu, the eldest sister, and she also knew in her heart that the second sister and the righteous sister had something to say.
"Eh, Sister Yi, you know your sister, she doesn't like to beat around the bush when she speaks, sometimes she offends her sister by speaking, and I ask my sister not to take it to heart......" Su Qingyi's identity is not what it used to be, so Su Jinyan still has something to explain.
"What my sister said, my sister has today, thanks to my sister." Su Qingyi naturally knew the meaning of Su Jin's words, and said with a smile.
After thinking about it, he said: "My sister has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, my sister knows how to measure!" ”
"Then my sister said it bluntly, my sister has a bitter face today, it is really not the best policy, not to mention that the emperor is present today, even the acting king will be unhappy when he sees it, besides, doesn't my sister think that the acting princess is suddenly pregnant?" There are some words, Su Jinyan knows but can't break them, so he can only change directions to remind Su Qingyi at this moment.
"Sister is talking ......" Su Qingyi naturally thought of the diplomatic relations between the two countries at this moment.
When the words came to her mouth, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and she didn't say what she thought in her heart, she naturally knew a thing or two about the northern nomads......
"In addition, my sister also wants to tell my sister that a woman who has given birth to a child will have a wider pelvis and a thicker waist, which my sister should deeply ......understand" Su Jinyan stopped in moderation, and stopped saying anything when she got here, as for Su Qingyi who didn't understand, it wasn't her business, she said everything she should have said!
You must know that the partition wall has ears, and Su Qingyi's courtyard may not all be her people......
