Chapter 571: Human Tragedy

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Since Emperor Qinglong ascended the throne, he has made great efforts to govern the country, paid taxes lightly, and lightly forced labor, and there have been no natural disasters in this year, and people's enthusiasm for building their homes has been high.

Yan Ran accepted the canonization, and the territory of Luquan Villa was expanded several times, and the people in the villa sensed the call of the country and returned to their hometown, but more people stayed. Zhuangzi is thriving inside and outside.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the hot spring villa was really built, where there are three steps and a pavilion, five steps and a pavilion, plus there are hot springs flowing all the year round, and the mountain is full of mist, like a fairyland. Yan Ran even asked the craftsmen to direct the hot spring water to every building, and there are hot spring pools everywhere in the villa.

In addition, after more than half a year of hard work, the plum trees on the mountain have begun to take shape, and it is believed that it will not be long before the whole mountain here will be shrouded in plum blossoms in winter, forming a world of flowers.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is Chongyang.

On the day of Chongyang, there is an old custom of planting dogwoods to ascend, and at this time, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you will ask one or two friends to climb to appreciate the chrysanthemum and taste chrysanthemum wine. This year's Chongyang Festival is different from previous years, that is, Princess Fengyi, who has been silent since the canonization, suddenly posted a banquet to everyone, as long as there are people with heads and faces in the capital, they are invited. For a while, there were different opinions.

On the 9th of September, a horse-drawn carriage sailed out of the city in the direction of the Hot Spring Lodge.

Yan Ran had already lived in Princess Fengyi's Mansion in the capital at the end of June, but she arrived at Luquan Villa a few days earlier to arrange all the banquets.

After Emperor Qinglong and the queen mother found out, they sent eight female officials in the palace to bring twenty palace maids each to assist. Yan Ran entered the palace and thanked her, and accepted it calmly.

As soon as everyone arrived that day, they saw Mama Gui standing at the front foot of the queen, followed by a string of palace maids wearing uniform palace clothes. As a result, those who originally had contempt for this sudden appearance of Princess Fengyi also hurriedly restrained their contempt and became solemn.

It is like a mountain gate, with small bridges and flowing water, and pavilions and pavilions are even more eye-catching.

It's just that now it's not winter, and the plum blossoms haven't bloomed yet, and if they do, it's a different beauty.

The banquet is placed on the top of the mountain, where a three-story building is built, standing on the upper floor with a wide view, almost taking in the surrounding 100,000 mountains, which makes people's hearts open.

However, Mama Gui and the others were only responsible for leading people into a hall not far from the foot of the mountain, and Yan Ran sat here and waited. Because she is the emperor's princess, except for a few old ladies with high seniority, she doesn't need to go out to greet her, just wait for someone to come, and entertain her.

In the middle of the afternoon, there were gradually more people, and Yan Ran gossiped about the ladies and ladies sitting in the hall, and drove out all the sons and ladies of each family, and let them have fun on their own.

The old lady of Ning Yuanhou entered the hall, and after greeting Yan Ran, she sat alone in a corner and was silent, while quietly observing Yan Ran on the main seat, the more she looked, the more frightened she felt.

Although the appearance of this Princess Fengyi was very different from when she was in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion before, the demeanor and tone of her speech were still the same as when she was in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Thinking about it again, she is no longer the lowly maid who married in lieu of marriage, nor is she the daughter of the Anguo Mansion who is in a broken household, but a dignified princess! And the emperor has clearly said that this Princess Fengyi is none other than the eldest daughter of Emperor Qinglong, the original lord of Jiayan.

The county lord of Jiayan had been engaged to the prince of the Marquis of Ningyuan before, but he didn't expect things to come full circle, as if he had returned to the original point.

It's just that I don't know if when Lu Kun's little bastard comes back, will Emperor Qinglong give marriage to the two of them again? Maybe not, right?

Lu Kun has now soared into the sky and become a general with great achievements in Dayan's war, will he still be wronged?

But not to mention that the old lady of Ning Yuanhou was thinking about it over there, and she was uneasy. The other ladies in the hall were all old acquaintances, and they had already talked together, and they laughed and laughed for a while.

Suddenly, I heard someone ask: "Why don't you see Duchess Anguo, old lady?" ”

Yan Ran had stayed in the Anguo Mansion when she took refuge, so it was naturally no secret.

However, it seems a little inappropriate to be mentioned on such an occasion.

Fortunately, Yan Ran is no longer the little girl she was at the beginning, but she didn't care about it, and looked for it in the crowd with people, but didn't see anyone, so she quietly asked Lu Ju behind her, and then remembered that just yesterday, Anguo Mansion and Wei Mansion sent a reply almost at the same time, saying that there was something at home and she couldn't come, and she didn't care too much about it at that time, and she didn't want to be discovered by careful people.

However, when someone dismantled the stage, some people thought about stammering, and after the lady finished asking, someone took over, "What is the character of Mrs. Liu in the Anguo Mansion, you still don't know?" That's the master who can't knock out a fart with three sticks, and he was born with such a beautiful lamp body, when did he ever participate in a party in the capital? As for the old lady...... Don't come. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone stood up again and said, "I heard a news...... As she spoke, she mysteriously swept around the crowd and deliberately lowered her voice, "It seems that something has happened to this Wei family......

"Wei Family ......"

Everyone looked at each other, the Wei family rose too fast in the capital, and many people didn't think about it.

"Could it be the Emperor's family?"

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like throwing a big stone into the water.

Everyone forgot that there was a princess sitting here, and they all gossiped and talked about it enthusiastically. This really can't be blamed on Yan Ran, she, a princess, has no sense of existence, and she was even considered dead before.

"Didn't the Emperor's Wei family happen to be related to the Anguo Mansion?"

"Yes, I heard that one of the concubines in their house is the Tanhualang of this Wei Mansion who is married!"

"It is said that he has been infertile for a few years after getting married, but this Tanhualang has forced himself to have seven or eight more concubines and concubines!" It's ironic.

"That means that this concubine of the Anguo Mansion really follows her mother's temperament, and she is too weak, if she wants to ...... Hey! ”

"Hey, if you want to say that, then you will have wronged that Mrs. Wei, she is the most powerful housewife I have ever seen, and the Wei Mansion can kill or resell a concubine in half a month, can you?"
