Chapter 50: Journey to Jiangnan (5)
"Hehe, did you two hear that?" Ke Lanshen asked mysteriously.
Xiao Qingqing drew a card and asked, "What's the matter, why are you still doing such a mysterious thing?" Here you go. ”
"yes, I think too." Gu Qing drew the cards in Ke Lan's hand and said, this Ke Lan, I just like to talk like this, and there is not much news every time. "Come, it's your turn."
"Oh, didn't I want to get you interested?" Ke Lan pursed her lips and explained, "Alas, I don't go around the bend with you, it's Li Zhaoyi, who actually invited those prestigious families in Jiangnan to come over as guests." ”
"She? Who is she to invite those people to come and be guests? This Gu Qing didn't even speak, she was so bold. Xiao Qingqing said disdainfully, "She's not a fool, right?" Bright and ugly for us? ”
"Isn't it, I was surprised when I heard the news, why did she do this?" Ke Lan didn't understand that this kind of transgression was very despised.
Gu Qing scratched his head, thinking about the cards in his hand, "What can I do then?" She can do whatever she wants, and it has nothing to do with me anyway, and I don't want to bother with that group of older people. ”
"You can't say that, the queen is not here, then you are the lady with the highest ranking among us, and if you want to invite those people to be guests, it should be you who come forward to do this to her, which is not to give face." Xiao Qingqing was straight to the point, she had done this kind of stupid thing before, but fortunately, she turned back in time.
Gu Qing nodded, "Then what do you say?" ”
"What to do? What to do, when it's time for dinner, we'll go over and eat. Is it possible, can you still let us eat it? Xiao Qingqing said.
Gu Qing looked at Xiao Qingqing with admiration, this move is really high, she Li Yuan slapped the three of them in the face, didn't the three of them hit her naked in the face as soon as they went? Besides, she couldn't say it yet, so she could only hit her teeth and swallow her blood.
"High, really high." Gu Qing gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Qingqing threw out the last card with a proud face, "I won, you two see who loses." ”
"Ahh It's time to decide again, and I may be silently praying in my heart that this time it won't be her.
However, God didn't seem to hear Ke Lan's wish, Gu Qing successfully escaped, and Ke Lan, who lost, could only be painted as a turtle.
"Niangniang, everyone is almost here, do you think I can go out?" Pearl lifted the curtain and said to Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dresser.
Li Yuan looked at her makeup in the mirror, "It's all here, so soon, let's go out." ”
"Mother, Wan Fu."
"Well, there's no need to be polite." Li Yuan enjoyed this feeling of others bowing to her and doing her best, "I'm really sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time, and I really can't take a break from some things." ”
"Niangniang said with a smile, we didn't wait long, and we were all sitting and not tired." It was the largest textile in the south of the Yangtze River who spoke, and it was also the lady of the Li family who provided tribute.
Li Yuan nodded, "What Mrs. Li said is that Mrs. Li and the palace are still considered to be their own family, they are both surnames, and they may have been a family in the past." ”
"Niangniang laughed, if the grass people and Niangniang are really the same ancestor, they must burn incense and worship the Buddha every day, thank the ancestors for their blessing." Mrs. Li smiled at the sky and bowed.
Obviously, this action was affirmed by Li Yuan, and looking at Mrs. Li, Li Yuan felt that power was really important.
"Hey, isn't this sister the concubine of King Yanjun?" Li Yuan looked at Yan Yu, who was sitting on the side and didn't talk much, this person seemed to be very quiet at the banquet. "How can you sit so far away? Come and sit with Hongu. ”
Listening to Li Yuan's words, everyone in the flower hall cast envious eyes at Yan Yu, this is also a good reincarnation, and the emperor is a relative.
"Isn't your kid usually very lively, why are you so quiet when you come here, and you don't want to go over and call you, it's a great honor." Yanyu's mother-in-law, Chen, pushed Yanyu, and Yanyu reluctantly walked over.
In fact, Yan Yu didn't want to come to this party, after all, she had offended the emperor's three mothers before, so she didn't want to come here, but there was no way, she was asked by her father and mother to come over, so only after she came reluctantly, Yan Yu sat in the corner and refused to make a sound.
"What's wrong with this kid? But if you have suffered any grievances, then say and listen to this palace, if this palace thinks you are reasonable, it will definitely make decisions for you. Li Yuan knew that this was the daughter of King Yanjun, and King Yanjun was also the emperor's younger brother.
Listening to what Li Yuan said so nicely, Yan Yu pursed her lips disdainfully in her heart, she was just a concubine, what was there to know, and on the day of the banquet, she was not as good as the three of them, in charge? I'm afraid it won't work.
"When I go back to my mother, I just think about when I can go shopping and buy jewelry again."
Yanyu is a child, and she really likes these, things that look good but are actually not very useful. "Do you like jewelry? There are a few pieces of jewelry sent from outside here in the main palace, which are very cute and well-behaved. This palace is also so old, and it's really inappropriate to use these, so why don't you take it back and wear it for fun. ”
Li Yuan instructed Pearl to bring up the jewelry, and sure enough, it was delicate and lovely jewelry, and Yanyu was full of joy when she saw it.
"Thank you, mother."
"You're welcome, this palace likes you young girls now, you are dressed beautifully, and it would be better to have a good son." Li Yuan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.
Yan Yu blushed, took the jewelry under the envy of the others, and returned to her place.
"Concubine Yue has arrived."
Li Yuan was chatting happily with everyone, and it was time for lunch, and he was about to eat, when Gu Qing's sudden arrival caught Li Yuan off guard.
"Niangniang, Concubine Yue, Niangniang......" Pearl stepped forward and said weakly.
Li Yuan was in danger, and stretched out his hand to stop Pearl from continuing, "Prepare to greet." ”
"Yes." Pearl wanted to speak and stopped, but she could only retreat.
Gu Qing was instructed by Xiao Qingqing before she came, she wanted to show her majesty, what kind of prestige Gu Qing didn't think clearly for a long time, Xiao Qingqing told her that as long as she didn't talk or laugh, it would look very tasteful.
So when everyone saw Gu Qing, they all felt that Gu Qing didn't like to talk, and they didn't look down on them, and they were unattainable.
"My sister is really a rare guest, why did she come suddenly? My sister thinks her sisters don't want to come! Li Yuan preemptively attacked, so as not to be stabbed that he had crossed Gu Qing's invitation to be a guest.
Gu Qing and the others missed the opportunity, but this did not prevent Xiao Qingqing from being sarcastic, "I think you don't want us to come over at all, right?" Zhaoyi Niangniang, now that Concubine Yue is here, don't hurry up and give up the main position. ”
Li Yuan stiffly responded, gave up the main seat, and sat down on Gu Qing's left hand.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start eating." Gu Qing thought that he was really hungry, so he couldn't wait to speak.
Xiao Qingqing supported his forehead, Gu Qing, a foodie, is really a bad thing.
For today's lunch, Li Yuan made a lot of money, and the dishes were also selected by her one by one, in order to let them know her status as Li Yuan.
There was a lobster that Gu Qing loved to eat on the table, and Gu Qing couldn't wait to let the cherry peel one for her, "Alas, this taste is still a little worse." ”
"Isn't it, Niangniang, this is worse than the kitchen in your yard, but you can eat it, after all, your chef is the imperial chef brought from Yanjing Palace, and ordinary cooks are worse." Xiao Qingqing followed Gu Qing's words very smoothly, and sarcastically mocked Li Yuan by the way.
Speaking of eating, Gu Qing is quite researched, "It's true, but I still think it may be a problem with the sauce, Cherry went to my yard and came over with the ingredients." ”
"Yes, sis. The slave and the maid will go. With that, Cherry left in a hurry.
Li Yuan only felt that she was being slapped in the face by Gu Qing and Xiao Qingqing at this time, and the two of them were obviously deliberately finding fault.
"Hey, isn't this the one who grabbed clothes with Hongu that day?" Ke Lan pointed at Yan Yu and said in surprise.
Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Yan Yu couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into.
"What? Is it mute? Bengong remembers that you were very powerful that day, why didn't you dare to speak today? Ke Lan reminded that Xiao Qingqing also remembered this soon-to-be forgotten thing, and the muzzle of the cannon immediately pointed at Yan Yu.
Hearing the two mothers in trouble, Yan Yu was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, "Niangniang spared her life, it was I who didn't know Mount Tai and collided with the three mothers." ”
Looking at Yan Yu who immediately knelt on the ground, Xiao Qingqing suddenly lost her feelings, where did the person who quarreled with them run that day? It's really boring, and you can't even find someone to quarrel with.
Seeing that the three of them did not continue to find her trouble, Yan Yu got up and sat down with confidence, but was gouged out by her own mother, it seems that it will not be peaceful to go back.
Not long after the cherry went, she came back with the sauce, "Niangniang, is this it?" ”
"That's it, well, it's delicious, that's what it tastes like." Gu Qing looked at the sauce and nodded happily, "Everyone try it." ”
"Sure enough, it's still your stuff, it's delicious." Xiao Qingqing felt that she had been with Gu Qing for a long time, and her tastes had been cultivated.
Under Gu Qing's instructions, everyone on the table dipped the seasoning, some thought it was really delicious, and some couldn't get used to this taste, but everyone praised the seasoning in unison.
For a while, Li Yuan's face was very good-looking, and the person who was flattering her just now was all stammering Gu Qing. Li Yuan ate shrimp meat in his mouth and bit viciously, imagining that this was Gu Qing and the three of them.
Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Ke Lan secretly gestured to the other two to celebrate the success, and after the two responded, they continued to eat happily.
