Chapter 290: Family Banquet

Seeing Xiao Ruyu and them returning safely, that Doctor Dong disappeared, Qin Ruyue knew that things were not good, she carefully hid in her yard during this time and did not dare to go out, fortunately, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and no one could take care of her.

Princess Yi was very dissatisfied with Dr. Dong's departure, thinking that Xiao Ruyu and they had played some tricks, and they made trouble in front of King Yi angrily. Unexpectedly, the Wing King didn't get angry for her, but warned her, and reminded her not to fall for other people's tricks, and everyone would take it home. The angry Wing Princess trembled and almost fainted.

It turned out that Xiao Ruyu knew that Dr. Dong was missing, and Princess Yi would definitely not give up, so she simply found the wicked person of King Yi to sue first, and told King Yi about the situation of Dr. Dong that she had found. The Wing King was afraid after seeing it for a while, but he didn't expect that this person was not a disciple of the divine doctor at all, but also a liar who killed people and oversold goods, and they had already discovered and taken measures to help Xiao Ruyu, otherwise their palace would be in danger.

He didn't pay attention to Princess Yi's nonsense, but sent more people to the palace, and the people who entered and left the palace were strictly screened, for fear of being taken advantage of.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a family banquet was held in the Yiwang Mansion, and Han Yixuan and his wife went to the restaurant of the Yiwang Mansion. After the family banquet, there is still a New Year's vigil, of course, it is just a formality, and everyone will go back to rest when the time comes.

Entering the restaurant, wow, there are so many people. There were several tables of the Eight Immortals alone, and the originally open dining room seemed a little crowded.

The Wing King is not particularly fond of women among the princes, but he has a lot of concubines, at least he can make up four tables of mahjong. Xiao Ruyu This is the first time since she married Han Yixuan that she has seen so many little wives of the Wing King, she can't help but be speechless, obediently, the Wing King is old and strong, can so many women withstand it?

Everyone greeted the Wing King and Princess Wing, said a few auspicious words, and the family banquet officially began.

King Yi sat at a table with several sons, and Princess Yi sat at the table, in addition to Princess Shi and Xiao Ruyu, there were also Qin Ruyue and a few concubines.

The princess did not live in front of Princess Yi, and did not pay much attention to Qin Ruyue and Xiao Ruyu. Xiao Ruyu ate with vegetables with a calm face, and didn't see the provocative gaze she had skimmed.

Qin Ruyue glanced at her from time to time, thinking of her true identity, her eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish. She never dreamed that this Xiao Siyu would be the Xiao Ruyu that her cousin had always been thinking about. I really don't understand what my cousin thinks, she looks like this, she is not as beautiful as her, why can't she forget that she finally married in the house? Could it be that this woman will not be able to flatter?

Thinking a little distracted, looking too direct, Xiao Ruyu didn't do much, and a few girls next to her found the clue. There are few girls in the house, they have heard about the second prince and Concubine Qin, seeing that she looked at the second lady's eyes unkindly, several people exchanged glances with each other, and then silently watched the excitement.

Eating and sleeping silently, on such an important occasion, the Yiwang Mansion and the princess did not speak, and they naturally did not dare to cross it. Qin Ruyue wanted to test Xiao Ruyu for a few words, but she didn't dare to speak out openly. She is just a concubine of the prince, and she has no qualifications to speak casually.

It wasn't her turn to go to the table tonight, but the princess wanted to disgust Xiao Ruyu before she pulled her, and she didn't like her appearance Princess Yi very much, so she better stay honestly and wait for the princess to send a signal.

"I don't know how the second brother and sister used to spend the New Year in the countryside? Isn't it the same as us? The princess felt that she had almost eaten, and wiped the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief handed over by the girl and asked with a smile.

"Yes, we're curious, the countrymen must be different from us during the New Year." Qin Ruyue hurriedly followed when she received the eyes handed over by the princess.

"It's no different from here." Xiao Ruyu put down the chopsticks in his hand and said lightly, "If you really want to say that there is a difference, it is that the countryside is poor and can't afford to marry many wives, so it is not so lively." Speaking of this, she was amused, "I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of our neighbor, this person is a flowery intestine, with a little spare money in his hand to marry a wife and a concubine, these two usually get by, but when it comes to Chinese New Year's Eve, they fight, sometimes we go to see the excitement, it's fun." ”

Xiao Ruyu's words successfully made Princess Yi and the princess blacken, what kind of wife and concubine fight, what does she mean, isn't it ironic that although they are wives, their husbands still have many wives and concubines, she can watch the fun?

Qin Ruyue was also a little embarrassed on the side, and a concubine really made her feel distressed. If you can, who wants to be a concubine who is looked down upon.

She couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Han Yixuan, she could have become a wife, but she did it herself. I think it's her wrong means, she should marry her cousin first and then break off the connection with the prince, then her life will definitely be much better than now.

Han Yixuan's table was nearby, Xiao Ruyu's words were heard by everyone, and the Wing King coughed a little embarrassed and suddenly felt a little upset. There is no one in this room of women, and it seems that it makes sense that some people like to marry only one woman for the rest of their lives, at least quietly.

Shizi pouted on the side, "Second brother, No, the second brother and sister are interesting, she actually thinks it's fun for his wife and concubine to fight, why don't you also get a concubine and let her have a lively time?" ”

Han Yixuan threw his hand at him, "Shizi, you might as well spare me." Seeing that the other brothers at the table were looking at him, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You don't know, my wife's personality is not bad, the key is that my father-in-law is powerful." Speaking of this, he wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, "My father-in-law said that if I dare to take a concubine and make his daughter angry, he will definitely carry a knife to kill our Yiwang Mansion." ”

Everyone thought of General Xiao's reputation of splitting stone lions, and looked at him, his eyes were full of sympathy, with such a powerful father-in-law, the matter of taking a concubine was really well considered.

Han Yixuan successfully saw his father twitch the corners of his mouth, and he hurriedly lowered his head to restrain the smile on the corner of his mouth. Now it's okay, he was successfully frightened, and the matter of taking a concubine doesn't make sense to his father.

After the family banquet, everyone sat in the hall drinking tea and chatting their teeth, Han Yixuan did not go out with his brothers to set off firecrackers to join in the fun, but sat next to Xiao Ruyu to help her peel oranges and smash walnuts.

Everyone fell in their eyes, but they didn't expect Han Wenxi to have the potential to be a wife and slave. The person who resolutely refused to marry at the beginning seemed to be a different person after the emperor's grandfather gave him a marriage, can marriage really change a person?

Only Qin Ruyue's eyes flashed with jealousy, her cousin used to serve her like this during the Chinese New Year, but now he actually flattered this slut again, seeing her cousin's smiling thief and slutty appearance was really spicy, she wanted to vomit when she saw it.

"Cousin, I want to eat walnuts too." Qin Ruyue was unwilling to be ignored like this, and walked to Han Yixuan's side in a few steps to brush up on her presence.

Han Yixuan's face sank, he was peeling it happily, and he actually made a troublemaker, thinking of this, he shouted at the servants who were waiting beside him with an unkind face: "Why are you people so blind, you don't see that there are no walnuts on Concubine Qin's side, why don't you hurry up and get some from the treasury." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Ruyue in unison, Qin Ruyue bit her lip with a fire on her face and stood there pulling her handkerchief, what does your cousin mean, is it because she is not ashamed enough to be so loud?

"Come on, bring this plate of walnuts to the side concubine." The princess is still very knowledgeable, and sent someone to bring the walnuts in her hand to Qin Ruyue's side.

"Come on, take some more walnuts from the warehouse and give them to Concubine Qin." The prince commanded with an unkind face. He had been observing Han Yixuan and his wife just now, and he was also watching Qin Ruyue's small movements, he was very angry, this woman was now his side concubine, did he want to cuckold himself by going to Han Wenxi and his wife to find abuse so blatantly?

Qin Ruyue really wanted to cover her face and go out immediately, but she still gritted her teeth and stayed. Anyway, she was already embarrassed, so she just sat here and watched the two of them show affection, she wanted to see how far her cousin would go for a woman.

"Hey, your good cousin is jealous." Xiao Ruyu secretly kicked him from under the table and whispered.

"What? Would you like to eat almonds? Han Yixuan snorted, reached out and took a few more almonds and peeled them. His internal strength is good, whether it is peeling walnuts or peeling almonds, he doesn't need to use tools, and then he can contribute the whole kernel with a pinch, Xiao Ruyu can't help but laugh when he looks at him, it turns out that there is such a use for good internal strength. Han Yixuan is not a precedent.

"You're playing dumb for me. Have you ever peeled walnuts for her before? Xiao Ruyu gritted his teeth at him and said.

"Huh. Madame, come, drink a glass of water. Han Yixuan hurriedly flattered and handed a cup of tea to Xiao Ruyu.

"Hmph." Xiao Ruyu glanced at him. Don't think that you will be let go if you are courteous, and you will be cleaned up when you turn back.

"It's snowing." Someone shouted outside the door.

"Let's go out and have a look." Xiao Ruyu got up excitedly and looked at Han Yixuan.

The snow reminded her of that Chinese New Year's Eve last year. At that time, she never dreamed that she would come to this day, that sincere young man is so trustworthy.
