In the blink of an eye, mid-September, the annual chrysanthemum feast is coming.

Today, Empress Pei loves chrysanthemums alone, and every September will invite the sons and ladies of the capital to enter the palace to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet, which is also a good opportunity for famous ladies to fish for golden beetles, and has been welcomed, but it is a pity that most of the queen's invitations are only sent to famous families, and if the grade is not enough, you can only think about it at home.

Duan Rubian once participated in the chrysanthemum banquet when she was a virtuous princess, but in fact, it was just a nice talk, but in the end it was just an ordinary banquet for a group of people to spell out the literary talent and martial arts.

If it is usual, the concubine of the Duan Mansion is not qualified to participate in such a banquet, but the eldest lady is not in the mansion, and there is only Duan Rubian on the table in the mansion, so there is Duan Rubian's name in this palace quota.

Duan Xiang was very unwilling, after all, such a banquet was attended by aristocratic sons, how could Duan Xiang give up such a good opportunity, it just so happened that the Shui clan in the mansion fell out of favor, and the Wang clan was in full swing, and after only a few days of pillow wind, Duan Xiang also got the qualification to enter the palace.

The old lady was originally very unhappy, but she couldn't help her son to plead in every way, so she had to go with Duan Xiang. Coincidentally, this year's chrysanthemum banquet is a little different, the queen mother allowed the concubines and concubines to enter the palace to participate in everything they want, Duan Rufang mostly guessed the meaning of the queen mother, and laughed at it.

There are still more than ten days before the start of the chrysanthemum feast, Duan Fu received the holy decree, Xuan Third Miss Duan Rufang and Fifth Miss Duan Xuan entered the palace in advance, which made Duan Rufang a little surprised, entering the palace in advance, generally all of them are relatives of the emperor and the country, and some background figures, that is a great honor, but now there are only two concubines, and they have been announced into the palace, which can surprise everyone in Duan Mansion.

The most depressed thing in my heart is still a few paragraphs, and after working for so many days, I am just a foil.

Yutan Garden

Lu Fu packed up and smiled from ear to ear, "Miss, do you remember the appearance of the fourth lady when she heard the holy decree, she really laughed at the slave maid"

Duan Rubian bit down the grapes in his hand and half-squinted his eyes, "Miss Talking Mansion, Lu Fu, have I been too indulgent to you recently?"

Duan Rufeng smiled in his words, without half accusation, Lu Fu's heart relaxed, and he grinned lightly, "Miss is so good to slaves and maids, how can Miss be willing to beat slaves and maids?"

Duan Rubian laughed sullenly, "It's your mouth slippery"

Just when the two were talking and laughing, Tuanzi walked into the courtyard quickly with a gorgeous costume, and heard his voice before he saw anyone, "Miss, the brocade dress for the banquet has been delivered, do you want to try it first?"

Duan Rubian sat up straight, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, took the brocade robe in Tuanzi's arms, groped for a while, and frowned slightly, "Why is it different from what I want?"

The dumplings clenched their sleeves a little nervously, "Four...... The fourth lady said that the third lady entered the palace this time on behalf of the general's mansion, and the color of the cloth you sent before was too plain, if it was seen by others, I was afraid ...... I'm afraid I want to laugh at the general's mansion for not being able to get decent clothes, so I ......"

Duan Rubian raised her lips coldly, looked at the vulgar robe with red and peony embroidered in her arms, and nodded her fingertips, "Fourth sister is really thoughtful......

Her tone was low, without half a point of joy, Lu Fu frowned, and stepped forward, "Such vulgar clothes, how can my young lady wear them out, even if they wear them out, I am afraid that they will be laughed at for several days, the fourth miss is kind, this is clearly bullying the third lady, no, I want to find the old lady to judge!"

As he spoke, he turned around and went out.

"Wait!"

Duan Rufang's cold stop came from behind him, and Lu Fu turned around unwillingly, so angry that he stomped his feet, "Miss, if you endure it any longer, I'm afraid that the people in this mansion will bully you!"

"Who said I was going to put up with her?" Duan Rubian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Anyway, I have to stay in the house for a few days, the fourth sister is afraid that she has been bored again recently, shouldn't I, as an elder sister, have a good time with her?"

Lu Fu and Tuanzi glanced at each other and smiled secretly, the third miss is going to deal with the fourth miss again, it seems that they have another good show to watch.

Duan Xiang was sitting at the table, grooming, with long hair and a shawl, and his beautiful eyes drooping.

A little girl pushed the door in and smiled earnestly, "Fourth Miss, the clothes have been given to the third lady's group"

Duan Xiang paused, Ying Ying smiled, and his tone was mocking, "My third sister is satisfied with the new material I gave her?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and smiled lightly, "How can you not be satisfied?" Now that the aunt in the house is in charge, the young lady is the first, how dare the third young lady say half a word?"

Duan Xiang raised his lips proudly, and casually threw a gold ornament to the little girl, "Oh, take it, reward you"

The little girl's face was full of joy, and she bowed happily, Duan Xiang stared at herself in the mirror and smiled deeply, and she didn't know what it was in her eyes.

Following

The Shui family couldn't get out of bed, Aunt Wang was powerful in the house, so not majestic, Duan Linxiu was upset recently, and recruited two more aunts who filled the house, and the excitement in the house was not a little bit.

"Sister's complexion is so good today, I'm afraid that the master spent the night at my sister's place again last night" The new Aunt Zhao smiled ambiguously, seemingly ridiculous, but her eyes were full of jealousy.

Aunt Wang smiled and touched half of her cheek, "The master has been in a bad mood recently, and we people have to solve problems for the master, but don't make trouble in vain and distract the master."

Aunt Wang meant something, Aunt Zhao stiffened her face, the Wang family was like giving her a horse, asking her to do a good job, don't think about those conspiracies, and also alluded to the punishment of the Shui family a few days ago, but I didn't expect that a few days later, the head of the housewife also came out.

Duan Rufang, who came later, sneered again and again, and stepped forward, "The aunts are chatting so lively, why don't you see your grandmother?"

Aunt Zhao was very good to Duan Rufang, and when she saw that Duan Rufang was coming, she immediately changed her face and hurriedly beckoned to her, "It turns out that Rufang is here, come on, be by my aunt's side"

Duan Rubian stood still, smiled lightly, Aunt Zhao was a little embarrassed, and glanced at Aunt Wang as if asking for help, Aunt Wang pursed her lips and smiled

"Look at our three girls still have a temper, come on, or sit on my aunt's side"

Duan Rufang still didn't move, as if waiting for something.

"I've seen Miss Three, Miss Three is fine"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the opposite side, and on the other side of the stone table, a woman in a cyan robe leaned over and knelt down, and said softly, Duan Rufang stepped forward, and then sat down, "Aunt Song doesn't have to be polite, you look at Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhao, this is not enough, the family should be like this"

Song smiled lightly, got up and sat down, Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhao sat like pins and needles, and they didn't get up to salute, and they didn't say anything if they continued to sit, and the scene was a little stiff for a while.

"Third sister, when did you learn to be unforgiving?" Duan Xiang's indifferent voice came from behind him, and Duan Rufang turned around faintly, his beautiful eyes widened

"What does the fourth sister mean by this, when did the third sister have to be unforgiving?"

Duan Xiang sat down and stared at Duan Rubian with disdain, "My aunt is now in power, she is the mistress of the General's Mansion, it stands to reason that the third sister should salute my aunt, but my aunt is just worried that the third sister will not be able to turn around, so she will exempt the third sister from this gift, I didn't expect the third sister to be so ignorant, but I blamed the aunt for coming."

When Aunt Wang heard this, her waist straightened instantly, yes, now she is the person in power in the house, Duan Rubian actually asked her to salute, to put it mildly, it is a big rebellion!

"Third Miss, in this way, it seems that you have to salute your sister" Aunt Zhao smiled proudly, as if she was the one who wanted to salute. She originally intended to win over Duan Rubian, who knew that Duan Rubian didn't know how to lift up, and also refuted her face, so how could she say half a good thing for Duan Rubian.

Duan Rubian was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and smiled far-fetchedly, "Rubian was so offended just now, please don't be surprised"

After that, he got up and took a few steps back, and was about to kneel when he talked about the hem of his skirt, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, he glanced at Duan Xiang, "Fourth sister, I salute my aunt, you ......"

Duan Xiang got carried away for a while, and smiled rampantly, "What, my aunt is in power, I am naturally higher than you, what's wrong with you kneeling me?"

Duan Rubian bit his lower lip, tears in his eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged, hesitated for a moment and bent his knees slightly, and when he was about to kneel, a majestic shout came from a distance.

"Three girls, don't kneel!"

Hearing this, Duan Rubian quickly got up, showed a sly smile towards Duan Xiang, and then stood aside with a look of grievance.

Lu Fu and Tuanzi led the old lady to the center of the pavilion, and the old lady ignored Aunt Wang and her party, but the crutch patted Duan Rubian's calf, Duan Rubian was in pain, and couldn't help crying, "Grandmother, you ......"

The old lady looked indifferent: "Grandmother did the right thing?"

Duan Rufang was stunned for a moment, "...... ...... to the

The old lady frowned, "You're right, you didn't make a mistake, but I beat you, do you still say that I did the right thing?"

Duan Rubian made a look of sudden realization, but lowered his head and bit his lower lip, "You and your aunt are elders, and you dare not cross it."

The old lady's eyes were sharp, and she swept towards Duan Xiang and Aunt Wang, "Elder, grandmother will tell you today that in this mansion, the concubine is the most statusless person, whether they get the family power, they are just slaves in the mansion, you are a young lady, you don't have to salute the slave!"

Aunt Wang was so frightened that her heart was pounding, and she hurriedly knelt down, "Old lady, the concubine knows her mistakes"

"Mistaken?" the old lady smiled coldly, "It's late!"

"Come on, go and inform the master, all the rights in the hands of Aunt Wang will be taken back in the future, and in the future, this back house will be handed over to me to manage before the Shui family is good, as for these ignorant aunts...... All of them are locked up in the ancestral hall to copy twenty volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and if they can't finish copying, they are not allowed to eat!"

Then, the old lady glanced at Duan Xiang, "I have reminded you many times, don't be disrespectful to the three girls again, I didn't expect you to still be unrepentant......"

The old lady closed her eyes, "Remove Duan Xiang's name from the genealogy! If there is any more arrogance in the future, drive him out of the house!"

Duan Xiang sat on the ground, his palms were pulled out of blood, and the genealogy was removed, this is a great shame, Duan Rubian stood aside silently, feeling a little pity in his heart, but he didn't expect such a simple thing to remove Duan Xiang from the genealogy, if Duan Xiang didn't trouble her in the future, wouldn't this day be boring.

Duan Rubian looked at Duan Xiang and Aunt Wang carefully, and suddenly felt that he was thinking too much, how could these two restless people be restrained because of this? I am afraid that they will become more and more riotous.
