Chapter 097
When Ye Xun and Ye Shuo had enough of playing, the luncheon began.
King Yu sat on the top, Ye Qian sat on his left, Ye Li sat opposite Ye Qian, Ye Shuo sat next to Ye Qian, and Ye Xun sat down next to Ye Qian.
There was a big table full of dishes, because it was a formal banquet, and each dish was replaced with a few chopsticks, Ye Shuo was almost in a hurry, and many dishes disappeared after taking a bite, but his father and brother usually taught him etiquette, He didn't know what to say, so he had to pick one more chopstick he liked.
Ye Qian has been paying attention to Ye Shuo, he loves to eat too much, and often does not pay attention to moderation, since he was a child, everyone has paid special attention to his meals, Ye Qian reached out and touched his little belly, fortunately it did not bulge, and advised: "Don't eat too much." β
"Got it." Ye Shuo muttered.
King Yu picked a whole piece of fish meat for Ye Qian and put it in her bowl. The little girl is with Ye Shuo and Ye Xun, and she still has the demeanor of a sister.
Every time they eat together, King Yu will take care of Ye Qian, Ye Li has long been surprised, but Ye Shuo saw it for the first time, and exclaimed: "Brother-in-law still has to give my sister vegetables, Then next year my sister will get married, won't my brother-in-law be very busy every time he eats, will he not be full?" β
Ye Qian's face was a little red, she was still young when she married King Yu, and at that time she didn't think there was anything wrong with him picking fish and peeling chestnuts for himself, but now he is used to it, and it seems that something is really wrong with letting his younger brother say this.
Ye Li and Ye Xun laughed in a low voice, and even King Yu laughed, with satisfaction on his young and handsome face, and his black phoenix eyes turned around on Ye Qian's face, "I'm willing." After waiting for so many years, his little princess finally grew up, and the chubby little girl grew into a fair girl, her big apricot eyes were still so smart and cute, and her cheeks were not as round as before, but they were more white and tender, and she was as smooth as milk, which made people want to touch it. And the pink and soft lips, God knows how many times he restrained himself before he didn't kiss it.
Ye Shuo sighed like a little adult, "My sister is married, and she is about to leave our family, but fortunately, my brother will marry my sister-in-law again, and I can add another one to the family, which can be regarded as a flat." He stared at Ye Li solemnly, "Brother, you have to marry a good sister-in-law like your sister and come back, otherwise, our family will lose." β
Ye Li's handsome face stiffened, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and his starry eyes stared at Ye Shuo sternly, "Don't say anything." If you look closely, the base of his ears is a little red.
Ye Shuo stuck out his tongue and lowered his head to eat, don't think he doesn't know, his brother has also been discussing marriage in the past two days, and he overheard it.
Ye Qian looked at Ye Li with a smile, my brother is a little shy, two days ago, my mother discussed to discuss with my brother, and I was optimistic about the daughter of the Rong Anbo family, and the old lady of the Rong Anbo Mansion will have a birthday in a few days, and the mother will take her to see each other, after all, the two sides have just had the intention of marrying, and it is not good for my brother to meet the girl of the Bai family, so she must help her brother take care of it.
King Yu patted Ye Li's shoulder, "Ah Li is twenty years old, and many twenty-year-old boys and children will run away." β
Ye Li glanced at him lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, the two of us are the same age, and the prince is also twenty years old, why didn't I see the child running?" β
King Yu didn't speak, he glanced at Ye Qian with a smile, he wanted the child to run, didn't he feel sorry for Qianqian being too young?
"Ahem." Ye Qian glanced at the two of them, "I don't say anything." β
Ye Xun couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly lowered his head and stuffed a pair of chopsticks and rice into his mouth.
β¦β¦
A few days later, Meng took Ye Qian to Rong Anbo's Mansion.
The old lady of the Bai family was in her fifties, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, Ye Qian was stopped by her as soon as she went up to salute, "Hey, look at this child's beauty, this is a little fairy from the sky, right?" "Everyone knows that Ye Qian is Princess Yu, although she has not yet got married, but I heard that King Yu is extremely fond of her, and Mrs. Bai does not dare to accept her gifts.
Ye Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "The Queen Mother heard that you had a birthday, so she specially sent me to celebrate your birthday." β
Everyone laughed softly, but someone snorted, "Shameless, I really think I'm a fairy." This voice is neither high nor low, everyone in the room heard it, and everyone's faces were stiff, who was so bold that he dared to stab Princess Yu in person?
"If this child really goes to be a fairy, I can't bear it." Meng Shi's face was smiling, but his eyes were cold, and he swept over and found that it was a girl who had never seen her before, who looked about the same age as Qianqian.
There was a good lady next to her and said in a low voice: "That's the concubine of the Yuanyong Hou family, An Youzhen." "Speaking of which, this Yuanyong Marquis is the uncle of King Yu, An Youzhen and Miss Ye are also a family, why are they still blocking Miss Ye outside, don't you understand the truth of both glory and loss?
"It turned out to be her." The corners of Meng's mouth flashed with a hint of disdain, An Youzhen she had never heard of it, but Yuan Yonghou had heard of it, Jiping Houfu has never dealt with this kind of person, it seems that this Rong Anbo Mansion is exquisite, and the birthday banquet has also given an invitation to this kind of person.
Ye Qian had already heard An Youzhen's voice, she didn't even look at her, King Yu said that it was his uncle who entered the palace with Concubine Yu, King Yu was extremely cold to them, and she didn't have a good impression of this family. She looked at the girl who was guarding Mrs. Bai's side, fourteen or fifteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, wearing a lilac-colored embroidered light flower jacket, and a begonia hairpin with a red gold ruby on her head.
The ladies talked in the big flower hall, and the girls were taken by Bai Jingshuang to the garden to play.
It's still the New Year, and there's nothing to see in the garden, and the girls are gathered in the pavilion, and the four corners of the pavilion are burning charcoal, but it's not cold.
Ye Qian didn't like to crowd in the pavilion with people, so she went to enjoy the flowers under the plum trees, anyway, the cloak on her body was very thick, and she couldn't freeze her. The cloak is fluffy and soft white fox fur, which was specially given to her by the king of Yu, since the deer doctor said that the girl's house can not catch a cold, the king of Yu is particularly concerned about her keeping warm, and in the winter he can't wait to wrap her tightly, and she is not allowed to go out in the house.
Bai Jingshuang accompanied Ye Qian, "I haven't seen Miss Ye before, but when I saw it today, I realized that Miss Ye was so good-looking, no wonder my grandmother wanted to recognize her as a fairy." β
"The white girl praised it falsely, I'm just an ordinary color, where do I say that the fairy, it's just that the old lady loves the junior." Ye Qian said with a smile.
Bai Jingshuang glanced up and down, "Miss Ye is too modest." For some reason, she felt that Ye Qian said that she was an ordinary color, and she seemed to really think so. Bai Jingshuang was a little puzzled, didn't anyone usually praise her for being good-looking, she didn't know how beautiful she was. In terms of appearance, Ye Qian really can't say that she is in a captivating city, and she can't compare to the jade concubine Niangniang she once glimpsed, but it is also the best, even if it is not ranked first in Kyoto, at least it is the top few.
In addition to her appearance, Ye Qian also has a different kind of temperament, which seems to be particularly smart and cute, she has never seen this temperament in others, it is difficult to say clearly, it is definitely not the innocence of ignorance and ignorance, nor the elegance and nobility of the world, she can't describe it, but I feel that this kind of temperament is probably difficult to raise, only people who have been sincerely cared for will have it.
Thinking of the rumors about King Yu, Bai Jingshuang knew in her heart, Ye Qian not only has the love of her parents and brother, but also the favor of her fiancΓ©, I heard that King Yu is clean and self-conscious, and he has no concubine room at the age of twenty, presumably for her sake. "This cloak on Miss Ye is really good, it looks like a white fox's fur, isn't it a gift from His Royal Highness King Yu?" You must know that a white fox skin is definitely not enough to make a cloak, it always takes several fox skins to put together, and this piece on Ye Qian's body is not only the same as the direction of the hair, but even the color is the same, which is obviously not easy to get.
Ye Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "It was sent by the prince last year, saying that it was cold in winter, so I wore it when I went out." β
"The prince is really attentive to Miss Ye." Bai Jingshuang sighed, as a noble prince, he is usually used to being served, and it is rare to think so carefully.
"Hush." Someone sneered contemptuously, "What is the identity of my cousin, there are more such cloaks in the house, but I just gave one casually, and some people took it as if it were a treasure, and they had to wear it out to show off, it was really a little family." β
Ye Qian silently rolled her eyes in her heart, is there something wrong with An Youzhen, this garden is so big, she has to come up to find her own trouble. A slight smile appeared on Ye Qian's face, "Yes, then Miss An is the cousin of His Royal Highness King Yu, he must have also rewarded you with a piece, why have you never seen Miss An wear it?" β
"You!" An Youzhen's face turned red, she couldn't even enter King Yu's mansion, how could she get such a good white fox cloak from King Yu? "Of course I have, but it's just not like you have to wear it, I know that you like to show off, and I don't know who you think you want to seduce when you dress up so beautifully?"
"Miss Ann is cautious!" Bai Jingshuang's face stiffened, "Which girl in this garden has not been dressed up, my grandmother celebrated her birthday today, and she came with a head and face, it was disrespectful to her grandmother." Miss Ye just wore a cloak, and when she arrived at Miss An, she became a ......, hum, Miss An's tutor is really okay, is it that she hears these foul words at home every day? She is most unaccustomed to this kind of trouble for no reason, you must know how difficult it is for women to survive, and some people prefer to make trouble for nothing and block other women.
"You-" An Youzhen was furious, if it weren't for the fact that this was Rong Anbo's Mansion, she would have wanted to rush up and scratch the faces of these two people, especially Ye Qian's white and tender little face, she really wanted to leave a few blood marks on it.
Ye Qian smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that Miss Bai guessed correctly, just listening to the title of Yuan Yonghou knows how the tutor is." β
"What do you mean? What happened to my father's title? An Youzhen glared at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian's thin white fingers gently dusted down her sleeves, as if there was some invisible dust on it, "Shame is almost brave, far brave, hehe, isn't it shameless?" β
