The annual apricot blossom banquet of Bac Ninh Royal Mansion has not been interrupted because of this episode, and Bac Ninh Royal Mansion not only has good apricot blossoms, but also has a mellow and rich apricot blossom wine.

Every year when the apricot blossoms bloom, a batch of good wine will be brewed and buried under the apricot trees, and it will be dug up and served to the guests at the apricot blossom banquet in the second year. This year is no exception, the orderly maids holding the wine jar with water vapor are running in, and as soon as the lead seal is opened, the banquet hall is immediately overflowing with the aroma of wine.

At the banquet, only the figures of Xiao and Gao were missing, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the guests to drink and talk.

Diametrically opposed to this scene full of spring and staggered cups is the oppressive and desolate atmosphere in Gaofu.

Mrs. Gao and her husband Gao Tianhuai knelt side by side in the main hall, Gao Zhilan knelt beside Mrs. Gao, although she had changed her clothes and refreshed her clothes, the bruising and redness on half of her face could not subside immediately, which formed a sharp contrast with her pale face, which looked a little hideous.

Old lady Gao sat on the top head, her face was so gloomy that she was about to drip water, and beside her was the old lady Gao with the same angry face.

"This is the good daughter you two raised!" Old Madam Gao pointed to Gao Zhilan with a sluggish expression, "It is said that the female university is not stayed, and it is true that it is true that the female university will not stay, and it will be a feud if she stays here and there." Now this little cheap hoof has done this kind of thing, so that the concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are ashamed, you say, where is the Gao family sorry for you, to harm the entire Gao family like this? ”

"Mother is angry, don't be angry." Mrs. Gao's eyes were full of tears, and she said sadly, "Lan'er can't be blamed for today's incident, she was also framed by someone." ”

"Shut up! Don't think that when you get older, you don't know anything! Framed by someone designed? Tell me how someone designed to frame him? Old Madam Gao scolded angrily.

Mrs. Gao opened her mouth, but finally closed her mouth, the truth is really not on the stage, did she say that her daughter took the initiative to give her arms, but she sent it to the wrong person?

Secretly glanced at his husband, hoping that he could say a few good words to make the old lady and the old lady angry, but Gao Tianhuai turned his head to the side and pretended not to see it.

It's no wonder that he, today his face was lost by the mother and daughter. He was chatting happily with a few colleagues in the front hall of the Bac Ninh Palace, but he was invited to Yishui Pavilion by his subordinates, along with Xiao Wenxian Xiao.

When he arrived at Yishui Pavilion and saw the scene in front of him, he almost fainted on the spot. The daughter had an affair with Xiao Ergongzi, and she actually took the maid Tao'er and engaged in a three-person battle! Xiao Wenxian scolded the "rebel" and kicked Xiao Hong so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding. He also had the urge to beat people, but seeing that his wife and daughter were already injured, where could he do it.

The eldest princess and the princess of Bac Ninh persuaded them a few words, and let the two of them discuss the marriage as soon as possible, but Xiao Hong was already a group of wives and concubines, and the main wife had already given birth to two children, so it was impossible for the family to stop their wives and remarry.

Needless to say, the Xiao family couldn't agree, even the Gao family couldn't let them do it. It's ugly enough, if you force someone to divorce your wife again, the backbone of the Gao family will have to be broken.

Fortunately, Xiao Wenxian is aware of current affairs, and in the end, the two families agreed that Xiao Hong would marry Gao Zhilan as his wife, and everything would be married in accordance with the rules of the main wife. After marriage, he and Xiao Hong's original match, regardless of size, were on an equal footing, and the sons born were all grandchildren. As for Tao'er, she is Gao Zhilan's maid, and it is normal for Xiao Hong to have a room.

In fact, Xiao Wenxian also saw that the Gao family was the foreign family of Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, and there was a favored concubine in the palace. Rao is like this, Gao Zhilan still doesn't appreciate it, she cries and refuses to marry, and in the end, Gao Tianhuai slapped her to make her stop.

Gao Zhilan made such a fuss, Xiao Wenxian's father and son obviously had a look of boredom in their eyes, their family had already made the biggest concession, but they were disgusted by a broken flower and a willow. If it weren't for his father's presence, Xiao Hong would probably rush up and beat her again.

On the surface, the matter seems to be resolved satisfactorily, but the Gao family knows in their hearts that Gao Zhilan's reputation is completely ruined, and not only that, but the unmarried women of the Gao family will also be criticized because of her, which will affect their future marriage. Especially when this kind of scandal happened, it was even more unfavorable to Concubine Qing and King Jin in the palace, so the old lady Gao and his wife who heard about it scolded the family of three for a bloody head.

Originally, Gao Zhilan's behavior would have been punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for at least a few days, but with her current body, I am afraid that it will not take long to kneel and go to half her life. Under Mrs. Gao's repeated pleas, Mrs. Gao waved her hand, knelt in the ancestral hall overnight, punished the female training a hundred times, and scolded the maid Tao'er with a cane for twenty, and threw them into the ancestral hall together.

Such a punishment is already light for Gao Zhilan, who made a big mistake, and Mrs. Gao has nothing to say, so she can only send her daughter to the ancestral hall in person.

When night fell, only a dim small oil lamp was lit in the dark ancestral hall, and the bloody Tao'er behind her endured the pain, knelt on the ground, and put together a few futons and laid them out: "Miss, let's take a rest, I can go out tomorrow morning." ”

Gao Zhilan stared at Tao'er with straight eyes for a while, then snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "This matter is not over, I will return to Mo Jinxi twice what I have received!" This slut dares to calculate me, and she must not be able to make her feel better! ”

The faint light flickered on her face, showing a bit of hideousness, and Peach shivered involuntarily, curled up and moved under the offering table.

Mo Li, who was cursed, was leisurely leaning on the kang and holding a book reading at the moment, Murong Chu came in from outside, pulled the book out of her hand, and put it on the small table on the side: "It's late, rest." ”

Mo Li moved in and asked, "Father called you over, did you ask about Yishui Pavilion?" ”

Murong Chu nodded.

Such a big scandal happened in Yishui Pavilion to the Beining Palace, and the Lu family was present at the time, no one proposed to invite the king of Beining over, and Murong Jingzhong naturally would not ask for trouble to move forward.

After the apricot blossom banquet, all the guests were sent out of the house, and Lu told him what happened, of course, she would not say that it was arranged in advance by her and Gao Zhilan, and she wanted Murong Chu to commit it, only that Gao Zhilan was framed and committed to Xiao Hong. and implied that the person who framed her was the princess, but she was too cunning to get the evidence.

Murong Jingzhong naturally knew that this matter must have been designed by someone behind his back, otherwise, with Gao Zhilan's affection for Murong Chu for many years, how could he suddenly commit himself to others, not to mention that person was still Xiao Hong, who was useless.

There must be something ulterior behind this, and he immediately sent someone to call Murong Chu to the outer study.
