Chapter 37: The Palace Banquet
That night, Ye Tanghua sent all the maids who guarded the house to the outside to guard, and the inside was empty, although the night was deep, she had no sleep, and saw that the outside room was gradually quiet, knowing that a few maids should be asleep, so she secretly got up and pushed open the window.
There was nothing else outside the window except for a waning moon, and she couldn't help but shudder when a cold wind blew, and a male voice came faintly: "Why don't you put on a dress, beware of catching a cold." ”
Ye Tanghua was startled, and when she looked up, she saw Changping Wang Fengjiu Ge tumbling down from the roof, the hem of his clothes overturned with the wind, and his movements were extremely chic, but he didn't make any sound.
Ye Tanghua pursed her lips, her heart was beating very fast, half because of embarrassment and shyness, the other half because of excitement, reborn to this day, she finally has one thing in front of Aunt Li! Knowing the relationship between Aunt Li and Mrs. Xining Hou is equivalent to grabbing Aunt Li's fox tail, sooner or later, this fox tail will be grabbed by her and pulled Aunt Li back to her original shape!
Feng Jiuge saw Ye Tanghua, who was obviously upset, smiled slightly, turned over and jumped directly into the window, covered Ye Tanghua's mouth with one hand, raised the index finger of the other hand to his lips, and made a silent movement: "Don't scream!" You don't want to be seen having a private meeting with a man in front of the window in the middle of the night, do you? ”
Ye Tanghua nodded stiffly, but she was a little entangled, she really didn't want to be found in front of the moonlit window with Feng Jiuge in the middle of the night, but that didn't mean that she wanted to let an unmarried man enter her boudoir in the middle of the night, although she was an ignorant person at night, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Feng Jiuge saw that Ye Tanghua had calmed down, so he let go, looked at Ye Tanghua's little face that was a little embarrassed and a little dazed, smiled lightly, and stretched out his hand to pinch Ye Tanghua's face: "It's like a bean bag." ”
"The prince is presumptuous." Ye Tanghua was startled in her heart, and hurriedly took a step back to escape from Feng Jiuge's hand, her eyes were a little angry, and her cheeks were a little red, but under the not very bright moonlight, there was some almost cold beauty.
Feng Jiu Ge was stunned, and took his hand back behind him with some sneer, he looked left and right weakly, and said in his heart that he was really a little too cranky, and he could think about something about a little girl in her early tens, although this girl was beautiful, she was just a pure child, and there should be no love between men and women at all.
Thinking like this, Feng Jiuge's fists tightened, and he felt the paper ball in his hand, and he remembered the purpose of coming tonight, so he coughed lightly and threw the paper ball in his hand to Ye Tanghua: "Look at it, everything you want to know is on it." ”
Ye Tanghua unfolded the paper ball in her hand, walked to the window and looked at it by the moonlight, and was stunned: "This, this is ......"
Feng Jiu Ge chuckled: "I really didn't expect to find out this kind of secret." ”
Ye Tanghua regrouped the paper, her face was a little cold: "I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Nanyan, it's just ...... Sensational! ”
Feng Jiu Ge blinked, with some confusion in his eyes: "Eh, why don't you know?" I thought you would at least have some score. ”
Ye Tanghua shook her head and glanced at Feng Jiuge: "I just knew that there should be some relationship between them, but I didn't expect it to be such a relationship!" ”
Feng Jiuge smiled: "The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, the son of the mouse will make holes, and it is strange that Mrs. Xining Hou gave birth to an unbalanced daughter like Song Zhiyao, it turned out that she had an unbalanced mother." ”
Ye Tanghua's eyes were pale, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she smiled a little meaningfully: "Yes, the people in their family are all all the way." ”
"What are you going to do? Expose this matter? Feng Jiuge was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand Ye Tanghua's words, but he didn't care too much, so he directly changed the topic.
"What am I exposing her for? What's going on in the inner courtyard of their house, what do I care about? I'm not like Mrs. Xipinghou, who thinks about other people's housekeeping all day long! What is she? Ye Tanghua snorted coldly, and her face became even more ugly.
"At a young age, what do you always do with a calm face?" Feng Jiu Ge shrugged his shoulders and decided not to care so much, whether Mrs. Xiping Hou was dead or alive, what did it have to do with him? What's more, the mother's family of Mrs. Xipinghou ...... I didn't know what to do.
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the prince." Ye Tanghua glanced at Feng Jiu Ge lightly and turned her head. After getting what she wanted, she didn't want to have anything to do with Feng Jiuge anymore, just now she had to get along with Feng Jiuge in the same room for the news, but now after the news was broken, she looked at Feng Jiuge and looked at how it was an eyesore.
"Why is Miss Ye so ruthless? This king has been busy for you for so long, there is no merit and hard work, right? Miss Ye doesn't say a word of thanks, she should always let this king rest, right? Feng Jiu Ge looked at Ye Tanghua, who became cold in the blink of an eye, and suddenly felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, although he knew that with his relationship with Ye Tanghua, Ye Tanghua's performance like this was normal, but for some reason he was holding his breath in his heart, this little girl was too ruthless, right?
Thinking of him, he is a dignified and long king, a young man, handsome and chic, not to mention that he is talented and has a rich and rich five cars, and his family background is prominent, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to the group of ladies who want to tie up with him, why does this little girl have no feelings for him?
It must be because she is too small, too small to know the emotions between men and women! Otherwise, with his charm, wouldn't he be able to impress a mere Shangshu's daughter?
Having come to this conclusion, Feng Jiu Ge felt a lot more comfortable, so he didn't bother to entangle with Ye Tanghua anymore, just walked to the window and bowed to the only one behind him: "The master doesn't keep guests, he has his own place to stay guests, this king has left!" ”
After that, Feng Jiu Ge left through the window as he did yesterday.
Ye Tanghua glanced at the window that kept pouring into the north wind, walked over indifferently and closed the window, threw the paper ball into the incense burner casually, and only after watching the paper turn into ashes did she go to bed to rest contentedly.
After knowing the relationship between Aunt Li and Mrs. Xining Hou, she not only grasped the opportunity, but also knew many dangers that she had never discovered before, starting tomorrow, she not only had to beware of Aunt Li, but also always pay attention to this Mrs. Xining Hou, and never give anyone a chance to hurt her!
Since this day, Ye Tanghua has left Yuge and other big girls outside every night after the lock, but she asked one of the four greens to guard the door for her, taking advantage of the evening time to learn the talents of the four greens. Ye Tanghua actually learned these skills before she got married, but she didn't have the skills of Silu, so she didn't dare to slack off.
And Silu was also secretly frightened by Ye Tanghua's talent and speed of progress, and unconsciously fell into his heart. During the day, they would also take the opportunity to chat with each other and adjust their teaching according to the lessons Ye Tanghua had learned the day before, in order to make Ye Tanghua make greater progress
The days of the month of Layue flies, in the blink of an eye it is a small year, the twenty-sixth emperor of the month of Layue sealed the pen, and the palace began to prepare for the New Year's ceremony, at this time the whole Nanyan presents a New Year's atmosphere.
On the 26th day of the lunar month, the emperor took advantage of the last decree of the year before sealing the pen, and on the 28th of the lunar month, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, the emperor feasted the ministers in the previous dynasty, and the queen held a banquet in the harem, feasting the ladies and unmarried ladies of the palaces.
Although this banquet came suddenly, there was no minister to put forward any opinions, everyone was clear in their hearts, the crown prince from the queen is exactly fourteen years old next year, and it is time for the big wedding, but the palace has just conducted a show girl selection this year, and it is impossible to conduct another selection for the prince in the second year, but if you wait until three years later to choose the crown princess for the prince, it will be too unusual, you know, when the emperor is fifteen years old, the prince has been born.
So this banquet is not the so-called old banquet at all, but the emperor and the queen took the opportunity of the banquet to entertain the ladies of the provinces, a blind date banquet for the prince, knowing the news, the minister who has a daughter of school age at home is too late to be happy, how can he go to the emperor and himself can't get along?
Ye Tanghua actually didn't want to go to this banquet at all, because she already knew the result of the banquet, even if she went, she was afraid that there would be no change, but Ye Yuanzhi and Ye Mushi obviously didn't think so, although Ye Yuanzhi was a scholar now, but his family background was too low, even if the Yue family was powerful, he didn't help in the harem, and now with this opportunity, Ye Yuanzhi couldn't wait to pack Ye Tanghua and Ye Yunxiang and Ye Tanyou and send them to the prince's side together, so that the position of the prince's concubines and concubines on both sides was firmly occupied, and no one else was given a chance.
Even if Ye Tanghua is unwilling, she can only dress up beautifully and sit in the sedan chair to the palace with her parents.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, a little eunuch came up to lead the way, Ye Yuanzhi wanted to go to the previous dynasty, and Ye Tanghua was not the same way, so he could only tell Ye Tanghua again and again, don't hold too much grudges, take good care of her sisters, don't patronize yourself to be in the limelight, you must have the demeanor of your sisters, and it is best to let your sisters show their faces more among the ladies...... Hearing this, Ye Tanghua sneered.
When Ye Yuanzhi gave almost the same instructions, he felt that Ye Tanghua should obey his own arrangement, and was about to leave proudly, he heard Ye Tanghua smile faintly, put on a gentle look, and said lightly in a voice that only two people could hear: "Father, rest assured, as long as my daughter has the opportunity, I will let my sisters appear in front of the ladies more often, after all, my daughter heard a few handkerchiefs, and many ladies heard that their sisters have a good eye for jewelry, and they all want to see it." ”
One sentence choked Ye Yuanzhi's heart, but at this time, the guard who led the way had already come over, and he had no time to teach Ye Tanghua a lesson, so he could only shake his sleeves angrily and turn around and leave.
The banquet to invite the ladies and ladies is placed in the Wanfang Garden by the Taiye Pond in the Imperial Garden, and there are many exotic flowers and plants in the Wanfang Garden, which can still compete to open even in the cold winter wax moon, and contain fragrant and green in the snow, which attracts many ladies and ladies.
Under the leadership of the palace maid, the ladies and ladies walked from the palace gate to Wanfang Garden, passing through the green silk building in the garden garden, and hung a golden silk soft curtain on the upper floor.
Emperor Qi Jingzhi picked up the luminous glass, and after quietly tasting a sip of wine, he raised his eyes to look at the crown prince Qi Yu who was sitting by the railing: "There are a lot of beauties downstairs, do you have anything you like?" ”
Qi Yu sat in front of the railing, never squinting from beginning to end, and when he saw the emperor asking him, he stood up and replied: "Sage Yun, don't look at incivility, your sons read Confucius and Mencius, respect the sage's teachings, how dare you be rude?" ”
The emperor smiled and didn't say anything, but Qi Minzhi, the king of Yong'an, who was sitting on the emperor's side, shook his head when he heard this: "Oh, when has this been, you are still a saint or a saint, you are so uninteresting, you deserve not to please a good wife." ”
After that, Qi Minzhi looked at Qi Jingzhi's crying and laughing gaze and Qi Yu's flushed face a few times, laughed nonstop, raised his wine glass, and drank a glass of Lansheng wine, in order to hide the unclear meaning in his eyes.
On the other side, Changping Wang Feng Jiuge and Hongchang Wang Qi Xingzhi glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
