The attention in the temple is currently focused on the affairs of Qingzhou, but the imperial capital has been more concerned about Yuan Jiang Dingqin recently.

After agreeing on marriage on Cuihua Mountain, after returning to the imperial capital, the two families began the official process - Yuan Xuexu because Lu Guanlun's health has not been good during this time, the doctor advised not to move, so he did not go to Cuihua Mountain this year to escape the summer, but lived with her husband on Zhuangzi.

Now that I heard that my brother-in-law is about to marry, Lu Guanlun's condition is not inseparable, so he naturally wants to rush back to help.

As soon as she saw Song Yi smiling, she complained: "You also said that you treat me as your own sister!" For such a big event, I will not be notified until the sixth ceremony, and the slightest news will not be revealed in the middle, because I believe in you so much! ”

"This is a great injustice!" Song Yi smiled and hurriedly said, "You also know that the political views of the Yuan and Jiang families are not very consistent, and even Marquis Yuan didn't think that he would marry Sister Jiang earlier, although I can see some clues, before the two of them are done, where do they dare to talk nonsense?" In case the news leaks out, how can you explain it? ”

and half-truths said, "What's more, you were already married to Lu Sangongzi at that time, and you moved to live in Zhuangzi with him - we only met at this moment, and the middle exchanges were all passed on by subordinates, how can you trust your subordinates to convey this kind of thing?" ”

Yuan Xuecao didn't really want to be angry with her, but she felt that something happened suddenly, and she was a little overwhelmed by surprise, so she didn't continue to pursue the explanation after listening to the explanation, but leaned into her ear and whispered: "I heard that Mu Yao was pleased with my brother, is this true?" ”

Without waiting for Song Yixiao to answer, she sighed again, "I am also familiar with Mu Yao, I am very happy that she is my sister-in-law, but you also know that my brother's legs are ...... I'm his own sister, and if something like this happened to him, of course I only have to feel distressed! But Mu Yao is going to be his wife, in case she regrets it in the future, this ......"

"But that's what you think about too much." Song Yi smiled and comforted, "You think that Marquis Yuan's legs are not a secret, where does Sister Jiang know?" What's more, the Jiang family has always doted on their daughter, and they must have confirmed it with her repeatedly before promising to get married. If Sister Jiang was reluctant, the Jiang family would not have responded so happily. ”

Yuan Xuecao was not only not in Cuihua Mountain before, but he was still in Zhuangzi in the countryside, so he naturally didn't know so much about what happened during the summer vacation, and he didn't know that Yuan Jiang's marriage actually had some meaning that he had to send an arrow.

I would hear Song Yixiao say this, and after thinking about it, I let go of my worries and discussed with her how to handle my brother's marriage properly and lively.

Song Yixiao casually gave her an idea, and secretly thought in her heart: "Sister Yuan didn't mention the concubine's makeup to me, so it seems that Yuan Xuepei is a believer, and he really gave everything to Lu Sangongzi, and even Sister Yuan hid it?" ”

She didn't doubt that Yuan Xuepei would ignore the 50,000 taels of silver, after all, since Yuan Xuepei had thought of starting with Zhiqin's marriage and reconciling with her, it can be seen that he is a person who understands the general situation - he is a hereditary marquis, and he is not a reckless person who can't live his life, so why bother to do such a shallow thing?

Now seeing that Yuan Xuexu didn't mention the makeup of the princess of Hengshan, Song Yixiao understood that she probably didn't know.

"I almost forgot!" The two talked about Yuan Xuepei's marriage, Yuan Xuecao suddenly remembered something, ordered someone to take a small and delicate sandalwood box from his luggage, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are pregnant, I will find out, can you see if it can match my future nephew or niece?" ”

Song Yi smiled and heard this, knowing that it was something for the child in his belly, so he didn't shirk it, and took it and opened it, but it was a pair of jade pendants carved in the shape of cicadas. The jade quality is excellent, it shines in the box, and after taking it out, the kind of crystal clear is more and more obvious, and it is even more rare to start with the warmth, and the touch is moist - don't look at the big thing, but the value is absolutely expensive!

"It's too precious!" Song Yi smiled and couldn't help but say.

"What did you say, when I made a marriage, you congratulated me on my blood jade than Mumu Pei, I didn't see it!" Yuan Xuecao said angrily, "If you say that again, I'm going to be angry!" ”

Song Yi smiled when he heard this, put the jade pendant back in the box, and did not hand it over to the maid, but directly received it in his sleeve, and said, "I just said that-I didn't say no!" My sister just regretted it, and I didn't follow it if I wanted to take it back! ”

Yuan Xuexu slapped her with a smile: "It's pretty much the same!" ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Song Yi smiled and said goodbye after seeing that the time was not too early.

"Madam, this is from the palace." After she returned home, she went to the backyard, and Li Yu, who stayed behind, came up and said, "The person who came also brought two bottles of osmanthus dew, saying that the Queen Mother rewarded you." ”

"The Queen Mother is so loving, it really makes me feel guilty." Song Yixiao knew that she was stained with the light of her husband and unborn child, and the Queen Mother was particularly concerned, but she didn't feel angry, she said a scene, took the post handed by Li Yu and flipped through it, but it was an invitation to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, "Take out the new clothes you made before and try them, but don't make jokes if you can't wear them when the time comes." ”

She didn't expect to be pregnant when she was making clothes before, although she said that she was less than four months pregnant, and her pregnancy was not obvious, but she already felt that her waist was getting thicker when she bathed. It's okay to go to the palace banquet, and you can't ignore the dress you need, and you have to prepare in advance.

After trying on two sets of dresses, Jian Xubai came back, and after hearing it, he persuaded: "Why bother like this? Directly call someone to measure your current size, and then relax it, and make a few more sets, isn't it? ”

"It's only a few days since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhai Yi is not a regular wear, so it takes a lot of effort to do it." Song Yixiao changed into a homely dress and explained, "Instead of urging them to be in a hurry, it's better to repair if they can repair it—not to mention that I just tried it and felt that although it was tighter, I could wear it, just let it go a little bit." ”

Seeing what her husband was going to say, she hurriedly changed the topic, "The Queen Mother also asked the palace people to bring two bottles of osmanthus dew, I smelled the strange fragrance, do you want to eat it?" ”

"That stuff is so sweet." Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "It has always been your daughter's favorite, but I can't get used to it, and the emperor's grandmother wants to come to give it to you." ”

Speaking of this, he remembered the previous Tianxiang Bilu, and chuckled, "Don't say those bottles of Tianxiang Bilu are still in the cabinet?" ”

There was a lot of ridicule in his tone, but it was because when the husband and wife had a heart-to-heart relationship before, his wife compared those bottles of Tianxiang Bilu. Now that I think about it, I asked casually.

"How is that possible?" Song Yixiao fluttered the fan lightly, glanced at him, and wanted to smile or not, "Before, Sister Yuan said that Lu Sangongzi had no intention of eating and drinking in grief, and I remembered that the princess of Hengshan said that she had an appetite for eating, and she sent it all over - if you don't mention it, I forgot it, when I see Sister Yuan today, I should ask if it has any effect." If Lu Sangongzi eats well......"

"Could it be that you plan to continue to give him all the Tianxiang Bilu we have been allocated in the future?" Hearing this, Jian Xubai took a sip of tea and looked at his wife with a playful expression, "You're too good to him, aren't you?" ”

Song Yi smiled when he heard this, smiled, pointed a fan at him and said, "I knew you were going to be jealous - what I want to say is that if Lu Sangongzi eats well, then I will be relieved!" It's just that I'm afraid that Sister Yuan will worry, and since you don't like to eat those bottles of Bilu, I don't have to eat them, so I sent them out, look at your sourness! ”

"What am I sour?" Jian Xu's white face did not change his color, "I am thinking that you are pregnant now, and you should not worry about it, isn't this right?" Squinted at his wife, "You think I'm narrow, tsk!" ”

"Who thinks you're too narrow?" Song Yixiao couldn't help laughing, and didn't poke him, but only said angrily, "It's obviously you who are multi-hearted—forget it, I won't tell you this, and the clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet are just fine, and you have to help me refer to the details of the gifts everywhere!" ”

As he spoke, he fell on her husband's shoulder as if she had no bones, and said with a wicked smile, "Don't forget, it's not easy to worry about me now that I'm pregnant!" These trivial things have to be done with the help of the husband! ”

Jian Xu's face refused, and she was tired of sprinkling on herself, so she relented and ordered someone to take the gift list and look at it - a few days passed in a hurry, and it was August 15 in a blink of an eye.

Because of the Qingzhou incident, this palace banquet will inevitably have some undercurrent meaning.

Especially Emperor Xianjia and Queen Su, who came forward to host the banquet, were not very good-looking, the former was full of sickness, and the latter was delicate and couldn't hide his haggardness.

In this case, everyone is not very open, and there is some caution between the lifting of the lamp.

"Madame!" Although it is said that eating crabs is nine females and ten males, but the Mid-Autumn Festival will also be full of cream yellow, and a plate was also sent to the middle of the banquet, Song Yixiao glanced at it, but Jin Xun bent down and said in his ear, "Aunt Yuguo in front of the Queen Mother came over and said that the crab is cold, you are pregnant, it is better not to use it." ”

Song Yixiao hurriedly retracted his hand when he heard this, but he remembered Sikong Yiluo in his heart - didn't Sikong Yiluo have an accident during the crab-eating season? Her anniversary is not a few days away from now - the girl who is good at dancing with long sleeves and a degree of advance and retreat, and the day before her, Wei Yinlian raised a cup of respect at the table, but the next day it has been separated forever.

Thinking about it so far, it makes Song Yixiao feel quite uncomfortable in her heart.

remembered the eldest lady of the Sikong family, she inevitably glanced at the second miss of the Sikong family, the current Princess Liang, but saw that Princess Liang was rolling up her sleeves, took the eight crabs handed over by the next person, and concentrated on dismantling a red-shelled cooked crab.

Song Yixiao was taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly turned around and told Jin Xun: "You see that Princess Liang wants to eat crabs, go and remind me!" ”

When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at the seats of the concubines above, but she saw Concubine Cui talking to a palace concubine in a fancy costume with a smile, and she didn't even look at Princess Liang - Song Yixiao frowned secretly, and thought: "This mother-in-law is careless, even the Queen Mother remembers to remind me not to eat cold things by mistake, why didn't Concubine Cui say anything to Princess Liang?" If I hadn't happened to see it, Princess Liang would have been fine, but if something happened, it would have been too late to regret it! ”

I didn't want Jin Xun to come back after a while, and told her aggrievedly: "The slave maid went to tell Princess Liang's maid, but who knew that the maid was very cold, although she didn't say it explicitly, but look at her like that, she is disgusted with the slave maid's mouth!" ”

Song Yi smiled and listened, and subconsciously glanced at Princess Liang again, but saw that she sandwiched a piece of crab meat into a small dish with ginger vinegar and dipped it, and put it in her mouth with great enjoyment. ”

"Madame's forgiveness!" But Jin Xun listened, and was embarrassed, "The slave maid is not familiar with the people around Princess Liang. ”

Song Yixiao played with the porcelain cup in her hand, and thought for a while before saying, "I don't blame you, I don't usually like to get together with her...... Let's go back and find someone to ask! ”

With such an order, she couldn't help but sigh secretly: When will this Princess Liang not let people worry about her?

But then she smiled to herself: Princess Liang never begged herself to worry about her, in the final analysis, she also asked for herself.
