The whole courtyard is full of chrysanthemums, and the chrysanthemums are scattered, and even Concubine Jiang herself has to be jealous, which is much more elegant than the courtyard she arranged in previous years.

Hmph, no matter how well the courtyard is arranged, it depends on how well her banquet is prepared!

Wait and see!

The ladies and ladies also came one after another, and Concubine Jiang also went to the front hall to greet the guests, but with the princess there, she naturally had to stand in the back, even if she wanted to be in the limelight again, she didn't dare to blatantly cross the princess in front of everyone.

Luo Yunshuang obediently accompanied the princess, the ladies who came to see the princess were very surprised, when the princess was not out of the cabinet, the princess took care of the housework as a young lady, and the ladies of the same age had a good relationship, and enjoyed a reputation among the famous ladies in the capital, she was modest and kind, and the delicate and weak and pitiful Jiang Fang Concubine all day long presumably, of course everyone loved the princess more.

"Xuewei!" Luo Yunshuang was looking at Concubine Jiang's increasingly depressed face, and suddenly saw a lady in gorgeous clothes hurrying over, and held the princess's hand excitedly, "You are finally willing to come out!" ”

"Dong Ling, you're here." The princess smiled and shook the lady's hand.

The noble lady snorted and feigned anger, "Hmph, it's rare that you are willing to come out once, how can I not come?" Xuewei, it's good that you can figure it out, your elegance has been covered up for many years, who can know how good you are? Well, you and I can still interact more, and you must not turn me away again! ”

The princess smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't understand it before, and I won't in the future." ”

In the fog that Luo Yunshuang was listening, the princess took the noble lady's hand and turned her head to look at her, "I'll introduce to you, this is Qi'er's daughter-in-law Yunshuang, Shuang'er, this is the wife of Lord Xing of Yushitai, and she is also my best friend."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Xing," Luo Yunshuang said with a crisp smile, "Shuang'er has long heard that Lord Xing is upright, and Mrs. Xing is also a heroine who does not let her eyebrows go, when I saw it today, Mrs. Xing is really extraordinary, Shuang'er really likes it!" ”

Mrs. Xing looked Luo Yunshuang up and down, and also laughed, "The name of the county lord of Yunshuang, I am also like thunder, I didn't expect to be the daughter-in-law of Qi'er's child, you have a refreshing temperament, and you are really a good match for Qi'er!" ”

Mrs. Xing's tone was full of familiarity with the princess and Ning Qi, and Concubine Jiang on the side gritted her teeth secretly, Lord Xing was well-known for her honesty and integrity, and won the trust and reliance of the emperor, how many dignitaries and nobles in Beijing were tied to their husbands and wives, especially Mrs. Xing, although she was a woman, but she had a strong temperament, and she didn't give any face to the people she looked down on. But Mrs. Xing has never come, this is the first time the princess has held a chrysanthemum banquet, but Mrs. Xing has come!

But it's good to come, isn't this Mrs. Xing the most fair, just let her see if her friend has made a table of words "good feast"!

"Shuang'er, you're greeting here, I'm a little tired, go inside and take a rest."

Luo Yunshuang hurriedly said, "Mother, accompany Mrs. Xing to the hall to sit down first, just leave it to me here!" ”

Mrs. Xing was stunned when she heard Luo Yunshuang's address to the princess, then showed a satisfied smile and went to the hall with the princess.

Luo Yunshuang actually doesn't like to do this, but fortunately, the people are almost there, she greeted a few more, and when she saw that the people had basically arrived, she asked people to go to the garden in the hall to invite those who were talking and enjoying the flowers to come and come to the table.

The ladies and ladies were all seated, and everyone praised the princess again, and there were many young ladies who came to the banquet, and there were all concubines, but they were all led by the housewife in the house. The ladies are deeply aware of the open and secret battles in the back house, and no one is willing to let a concubine step on their heads, although Concubine Jiang is the princess's concubine, much more noble than the average concubine, but in front of the princess, she is just a concubine of the prince, even if she is noble, she can't stand shoulder to shoulder with the housewife, and the ladies are naturally happy to see the princess take back the power of the family.

"Oops, this meat ......"

When the dishes were served, the guests moved their chopsticks together, but soon someone noticed that something was wrong, and after a while, the ladies and ladies all noticed that there was a problem with the meat, and their faces became wonderful.

"Yo, I heard that this year's chrysanthemum banquet was organized by the princess herself, and it's good to look at this flower, but it's just ...... I can't eat it! ”

Luo Yunshuang raised her eyes and saw a noble lady with a contemptuous smile on her face, and after saying this, she squeezed her eyes in the direction of Concubine Jiang, no need to ask, this person must have come out for Concubine Jiang.

Another said, "You can't say that, even if the princess is capable, but for so many years she is still in charge of the family by Concubine Jiang, this business is easy to say, but not everyone can do it, if the princess wants to regain the power of the family, there is no need to rush at this moment, she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" ”

Luo Yunshuang looked at the two of them sneeringly, with guns and sticks, she sneered, "It seems that the two ladies are strict in governing the family!" She turned her head to look at the first woman who spoke for Concubine Jiang, and said, "Who in the capital doesn't know that Mrs. Lu is the most virtuous, Lord Lu marries one concubine after another into the mansion, Mrs., you can handle it properly and generously, the housekeeping in the mansion is well organized, Lord Lu doesn't have to enter your room for the whole month!" ”

There was a burst of snickering during the banquet, and Mrs. Lu suddenly blushed, Luo Yunshuang was right, Lord Lu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was lustful, married an aunt who had been in one room after another, where could she still look at the old and decrepit Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu also knew that her husband had a temperament, and it was useless to force it, so she had to go with him and take good care of the mansion by herself.

It's just that this belongs to her scars and shortcomings, which is usually mentioned by anyone, but she herself is not interesting, just because she is friendly with Concubine Jiang, she doesn't care about coming out for her, and she actually ridicules the princess!

It's really self-inflicted, and you can't live.

"And Mrs. Dou," Luo Yunshuang turned to the second person to speak with a smile, "Mrs. Dou is tolerant and generous, I heard that all the affairs in the house are taken care of by my aunt?" Yo, then your life is really leisurely, in the capital, I'm afraid that no one is more leisurely than you? ”

Lord Dou, the head of the household department, favors his aunt, and Mrs. Dou has not given birth to an heir, she can't fight and fight, and there is no way to get angry, and her status in the house is not as good as day by day.

The two ladies were unceremoniously exposed by Luo Yunshuang, their faces were red in embarrassment, and Mrs. Xing sneered, "It's better to be kind, and clean yourself up before ridiculing others!" ”

"Don't be sarcastic about these two ladies, don't be angry with Mrs. Xing, although the princess has not taken care of housework for many years, we still know her ability, she will definitely not make such a mistake, let's take a good look at what the problem is!"

The princess's face was cold, obviously angry, and she said in a deep voice, "Come on, remove all these things!" Yanyan, you take my brand, go to Tianxian Building to inform the steward, according to the number of ladies and ladies who participated in the banquet today, rearrange a table of banquets, and deliver it in an hour. ”

Yan Yan took the sign and went out, the maids quickly and orderly removed the meal, replaced it with fresh fruits, and the princess got up and said, "Today's incident is indeed caused by the negligence of this concubine, please use some tea and fruit for the time being, and reopen the banquet after an hour." ”

After speaking, she said slightly apologetic, "This concubine has some internal affairs to deal with, please feel free." ”

Everyone readily agreed, although the time of the banquet was late, but the banquet of Tianxian Lou can be compared with the royal banquet, and it is sky-high, if you want to eat a table in Tianxian Building, you have to make an appointment in March in advance, and people with poor conduct, even if they have more money, Tianxian Lou does not serve them.

All the ladies and ladies here, there are very few people who have eaten Tianxian Building, and everyone is naturally happy to be able to eat the delicious taste of Tianxian Building.

Luo Yunshuang thought for a while, "Mother, you can take a break here with the ladies and misses, and leave this matter to Shuang'er." ”

Looking at Luo Yunshuang's calm and angry eyes, the princess nodded and instructed, "Mama Tan, you accompany the little princess, this matter is fully handed over to the little princess, and everyone in the palace must listen to her dispatch." ”

Mama Tan responded.

Mrs. Xing stood up, "I also want to see what else is interesting here, besides, the matter happened in front of your ladies and ladies, I think, little princess, at this time, I will inquire in this hall, so that you ladies and ladies do not have to be kept in the dark." ”

Luo Yunshuang glanced at the princess inquiringly, there was no need to ask, she could basically be sure now, this matter must be the ghost of Concubine Jiang, but this matter is related to the face of Ning Wangfu, what if the princess is unwilling to publicize this ugliness in front of everyone?

The princess paused, nodded and said, "This concubine also feels that there is nothing to cover up in this matter, since something happened in this hall, it is natural to inquire in front of the big guys, otherwise, I am afraid that you will not dare to eat the banquet of Ning Wangfu." ”

She turned her head to look at Luo Yunshuang, "Shuang'er, you can inquire in this hall!" ”

Luo Yunshuang asked Mama Tan, "Mama, I don't know who is in charge of the kitchen?" Tell the lady in charge to come in, Shuang'er has something to ask! ”

When Concubine Jiang saw that Luo Yunshuang was about to mention Mama Lin, her heart tightened, she thought about it, and said softly, "Princess, let's inquire privately at this time, the ladies and ladies are here to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and at this time, it must be caused by the people's poor work, don't disturb everyone's mood for enjoying the flowers because of such complicated and trivial matters, right?" ”

"The side concubine doesn't have to be so nervous, everyone can be clear in their hearts when the matter is clear, otherwise, they can't even eat this meal, how can they enjoy the flowers when they are hungry?"

Luo Yunshuang asked lightly, and then her face sank, "Call the master grandma!" ”

Mama Lin arrived soon, although she had prepared to be questioned, but she didn't expect it to be in front of so many ladies and misses, the hall was full of people on both sides, Luo Yunshuang was sitting under the princess, Mama Lin felt the sight from all sides as soon as she entered the door, and only this one was the coldest and most severe, stabbing her scalp numb, she walked forward quickly and knelt down in front of the princess, "The slave has seen the princess, the little princess, the side concubine Niangniang and all the ladies and misses." ”
