Chapter 210: Reunion of the Old Man (Part II)
Wen Yi looked at Qiu Tan and didn't move: "You want to see me?" What's the matter? ”
Qiu Tan smiled: "What can the slave do?" It turned out that my family had something to tell Miss Nine. ”
Prince Kang? Wen Yi was a little confused, although he had met this noble man a few times, he couldn't say that he had any friendship, what would he do, he would send a maidservant to come and spread the word?
Qiu Tan didn't wait for her to respond, so he spoke first: "Our prince said that this is his new news yesterday, and he was afraid that Miss Yu Jiu would hinder him, so he specially ordered the slave maid to come and inform him." He took two steps closer, looked around a few times, and then lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday, our prince was about to go to the queen mother to say goodbye, and as soon as he arrived outside the palace gate, he met Miss Zheng, who also went to ask for peace, who was about to marry the prince of Dongping. ”
Wen Yi's heart was shocked, and she knew that most of the princes of King Kang were here to warn, although she didn't understand what the other party's intentions were in doing this, she still listened attentively.
Qiu Tan continued: "At that time, Miss Zheng knelt in front of the palace gate with the maid, and she didn't enter the door, and no one in the palace on the side paid attention to her, so she had no choice but to let the maid pick herself up and turn around and leave. Our prince has heard a long time ago that Miss Zheng went to the Queen Mother's Palace several times, but the Queen Mother refused to see her, even if she knelt for a long time, she refused to let go. The prince said to us, Miss Zheng has a bad temperament, and now she is embarrassed, let's not let her see it, so as to save her from complaining in her heart, and she will find us bad luck in the future. It just so happened that there was a long and wide corridor in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, which was specially ordered by the Holy Lord to protect the Queen Mother from the scorching sun, rain and snow. So we hid behind the pillar and waited for them to pass. When they passed by, they didn't know where we were, and there happened to be a maid who was holding for Miss Zheng, so she said......"
When Wen Yi heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt her words: "Miss Qiutan, this is a matter of the Inner Palace. All she cares about is whether Zheng Lijun will be bad for the Gu family.
Qiu Tan was a little embarrassed, and picked his face with his little finger: "I...... The slave maid was just afraid that Miss Nine wouldn't understand...... and continued, "Miss Zheng's maid was aggrieved for her, and said that if she came to participate in the flower viewing party in Luwangfu today, she would definitely be able to meet the prince of Dongping, and when the time comes, she will ask the prince to help say good things, and the queen mother will not be angry with Miss Zheng again." But another maid said that now it is the cusp of the storm, it is best not to come to the Luwang Mansion, and do not meet with the prince of Dongping, otherwise it will attract criticism from everyone, and the queen mother will be more and more angry when she knows about it. But Miss Zheng refused, saying that she would never shrink her head and hide at home because she was afraid of other people's discussions, she not only wanted to participate in the flower viewing party, but also made everyone ashamed of themselves, especially ......" She paused and glanced at Wen Yi secretly, "Especially ...... Gu Wenhui is also going, she wants Gu Wenhui to know what the difference between cloud and mud is, and she has to teach the other party a good lesson and let the other party know...... Those who betray her will not end well......"
Wen Yi listened with awe. Should it be said that this Miss Zheng Lijun is really a domineering figure? She has always been the only one who harms others, and when others are slightly dissatisfied, it becomes a betrayal? Then when she framed the crown princess Du Yuanru and blamed Wen Hui, could it be that she was not betrayed?
Wen Yi secretly sneered, and looked at Qiu Tan's gaze again and again: "Thank you girl, thank you for telling me, and thank you to the prince for me." I will remind the sixth sister to be more careful. ”
Qiu Tan's expression seemed to be greatly relieved, and his eyes narrowed with a smile: "That's good, our prince is just afraid that she will come up with some tricks and be unfavorable to Miss Nine's sisters, so I let ...... Let the slave come and remind him. Please also be careful, Miss Nine. Then he leaned over again, opened his eyes and whispered: "That Miss Zheng, she has often walked around the palace since she was a child, I heard people say that she is the most resentful, others accidentally offended her, she said it didn't matter, smiled very generously, in fact, turned around, and must secretly toss that person to death in the palace to hinder the concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't dare to say anything, but no one is afraid of her, she can't be the princess, it's really the blessing of the Buddha" Thinking of Zheng Lijun not being the crown princess, this Miss Gu Jiu can be regarded as a great hero, Coupled with the fact that the other party was very respectful and thoughtful to his own prince, Qiu Tan felt that Wen Yi was becoming more and more cordial, and couldn't help but say a few words from her heart.
Wen Yi is a cautious person, she always likes to think a little more when she encounters things, listening to what Qiu Tan said, she didn't dare to respond, worried that the other party was intentional, so she just smiled, rolled her eyes, took off a jasper bracelet from her wrist, and handed it over: "Please accept this, girl." "This bracelet is in good condition, it shouldn't be rude.
Qiu Tan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "No, no, no, I can't accept your reward, and the prince will be angry if he knows."
Wen Yi smiled: "This is not a reward, it is a thank you." What kind of card am I? How dare you reward the palace people? It's just that the girl's words have helped me a lot, and I can't let you go this trip in vain. The girl just took it, it was a part of my heart. ”
Qiu Tan was hesitating, and when Wen Yi saw this, she deliberately said, "The girl doesn't accept it, but she dislikes my thank you gift too thin?" Qiu Tan hurriedly shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then took the bracelet, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you Miss Jiu, I will pass away when I go back." ”
Wen Yi smiled, watched her leave, then stood where she was, thought about it, and decided to go to Wen Hui and the others to make it clear. Although Zheng Lijun is not as good as before, she is still the daughter of a noble family in terms of identity, and she is about to marry into the Dongping Royal Mansion as a princess, and there will always be people who are willing to contribute to her. Wen Hui's marriage is imminent, don't make any mistakes, and affect the Gu family's daughters.
She walked back, but she couldn't find Wen Hui, Wenxian, Liu Dongning and others everywhere, and asked the maids who passed by, but they all said that they didn't know, and they were wondering in their hearts, but suddenly heard someone calling herself, and when she looked back, it turned out to be Lin Mei'er, and she hurriedly greeted her in surprise: "When did you arrive?" I haven't seen you all this time. ”
Lin Mei'er smiled: "It's only been a short time coming, and I have something at home, so I'm late." What are you doing here? ”
Wen Yi told her, and she smiled: "It's almost time to start the banquet, presumably Sister Ling is going to the Cherry Garden, right?" I'm about to go over too, so you can come with me. ”
Wen Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked her first, and then went to the Rose Fragrance Garden with her.
As the name suggests, the Herb Garden is a place full of herbs and vines, dotted with several lake stones, and three high-ceilinged houses reflecting the white walls of Uwa, which are particularly chic. The place here is huge, but unfortunately most of the herbs planted are not yet ripe, so the fragrance is lighter, and I don't know how the gardener of Luwangfu did it, and the purple and white vine flowers hanging down from the bamboo shed around are very beautiful. One of the three fine houses, built an extra hugging building, was originally the three small roll sheds that were connected out of the front eaves, and the bottom was surrounded by pillars and railings, forming a semi-enclosed large pavilion, up to half a zhang, covering an area of half an acre. The table of the female guest is placed here, and the plum blossom table made of yellow pear is all in one color, one table is equipped with four embroidered piers, and there are incense burners, vases and flowers on the side. Under the eaves of the canopy hangs a delicate bamboo curtain, from which you can clearly see the situation outside the curtain, but when the people outside the curtain look in, they can only see a vague shadow.
The banquet of the male guest is located in the open space three zhang away from the fine house, surrounded by half-height flowers, there are four color screens in the north to block the wind, and there are four long cases in the south, with the four treasures of the study room on the top, and there are delicate and clever children waiting on the side, thinking that it is ready to deal with the errands of the male guests.
Wen Yi followed Lin Mei'er along the flowers on the side, avoided the male guests and walked into the hugging building, and at a glance saw Wen Hui, Wenxian and the others sitting on the other side of the hugging building, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She was about to walk over, but Lin Mei'er pulled her sleeve and scolded in a low voice: "Idiot, what did you do in the past?" ”
Wen Yi was puzzled, so she said, "I'll go talk to my sisters." What's wrong? Lin Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled, raised her chin, and motioned for her to look at the small building opposite: "Did you see it?" Where your sisters are sitting, right in front of that little building. There are a lot of nobles in the building today, all of whom are the children of the clan and the royal palace, and this tea party was originally held for them. During the banquet, all the daughters of the eunuch clan, those who have both talent and appearance, have the opportunity to match the nobles of the clan, you have to think about it, this walk over, and it will be looked at. ”
Wen Yi was taken aback, but she couldn't help but remember that when she first met Xiaojunjun Zhu Nuan, she had said that there was something today, and all of them were just accompanying guests, but now listening to Lin Mei'er, what else do you not understand? In the palace, the princes of the palaces are married, and only those high-status and valued children can have this honor, and the other princes who are suitable for marriage, the queen mother, the emperor and the queen may not be able to be busy one by one. Princess Lu has always had a preference for matchmaking, and she is an elder in the royal family, so it is no wonder that she will lend her own family to give the children of the clan the opportunity to choose their favorite wife from the girls of the right age. Could the prince and grandson of the Lu Wangfu also be there?
She glanced at Wen Xian, and when she saw the other party's sullen and listless face, she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
That location, but it's right under Xiaolou's nose
Lin Mei'er laughed quietly beside her: "The sisters of the Ruan family said that you are already married, and you are not interested in making peace with them when you think about it." The Ruan sisters and a few of us all think the same way, so today is just an opportunity to get together. If you want to talk to Sister Ling, just call her over and talk about it, then follow me to the back, Nuan Junjun cleaned up a clean room behind the house, let's go there to talk. ”
Wen Yi thought about it and responded, but there was another question: "Since it is a flower viewing party for the princes in the clan to choose wives, why are there male guests here?" ”
Lin Mei'er covered her mouth and smiled: "You are really a fool, don't you know that there is smoke in the world?" Besides, among these male guests, although there are many young talents, many of them are family affairs, or their family backgrounds are mediocre, and some are not in good health, or they are concubines, etc., etc......." She blinked, and Wen Yi already understood.
No wonder Wen An was not invited, and Liu Dongning ...... Isn't it because of poor health and family affairs?
Wen Yi asked the maid of the palace to pass the word and invited Wen Xian and Wenhui over. Wen Hui was chatting with Liu Dongning, Wen Xian came over alone, and asked puzzledly, "Why doesn't my sister go over?" Greeted Lin Mei'er again. The latter smiled back and walked away.
Wen Xian's face was a little gloomy, and her face was mocking: "What's wrong today?" Why is everyone ignoring me? Then he showed suspicion: "Could it be because of the sixth sister...... Are they even alienated from us? ”
Wen Yi said: "Where is it for this reason? They don't necessarily feel distant from me. Miss Lin was going to leave, not because her sister came. Then he told her what he heard, but he covered up the traces of King Kang's son, and did not say the specific reason, but said that a friend heard Zheng Lijun say cruel things to others, and wanted to teach Wen Hui a lesson.
Wen Xian was anxious when she heard this: "I knew she would cause trouble, so what should I do?" That's the young lady of the Taiwei family, and she's about to marry into the palace."
Wen Yi hurriedly comforted her and said, "No matter how noble she is, Lu Wangfu will not allow her to be presumptuous anymore." If something happens in front of everyone, it's not just our family that will lose face. She is about to get married, so she won't be so reckless, but just to prevent her from making a trick. The fifth sister only needs to warn the sixth sister and tell her to leave everyone and act alone, and she will not be afraid. As soon as the flower viewing party is over, we will go home, and we can also invite the Liu family to go together, there are so many people, what can Miss Zheng do to her? ”
Wen Xian listened, and then calmed down a little: "That's fine, when I get home, I must talk to my grandmother, and I can't let my sixth sister go out anymore."
Wen Yi frowned, seeing that there was a bit of gloom between her eyebrows, she thought about it, and persuaded in a low voice: "I heard that there are children of the clan on the side today, and they want to choose a wife from among the ladies, and I don't know if there is a ...... from the Lu Wang's Mansion."
Before she finished speaking, Wen Xian's cheeks were already red, and her eyes were bright: "Is this true?" ”
Wen Yi sighed secretly in her heart, her face was not revealed, and she nodded: "This is indeed the case, it seems to be in the small building opposite, don't look back" She grabbed Wen Xian's sleeve, "Don't let people see that you are an informed sister If you really have a heart, just sit there dignified and generous, talk when you should speak, laugh when you should laugh, and ignore other things, just take a good look at the sixth sister, let everyone in your table survive this tea party safely, and everything will be fine." The result depends on my sister's creation. It's just that I have a sentence to persuade my sister, the benefits of my sister, the people in Luwangfu all know, and today I don't have to show my face, save a lot of trouble, you need to know how to do more mistakes, in case there is a change, it is not good. ”
Wen Xian nodded again and again, Wen Yi smiled and said: "I won't get involved in this matter, I'll talk to a few friends I know, sister go back, remember to remind the sixth sister that if something happens, the fifth sister will also be implicated" Wen Xian nodded again, took a deep breath, and returned to her place with small steps with a little restraint.
Wen Yi watched her pull Wen Hui and whispered, breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and saw Li Chunxi beckoning to her under the eaves, smiled, hurriedly walked over, and around the corner, she saw the Ruan family sisters, Long Ling, Lin Mei'er, Zhu Nuan and others, and even Zha Yue, who had not been seen for many days, Zhu Nuan also pointed to a small door next to him: "Let's go this way, I have specially prepared good things, I guarantee that you all say it is strange when you see it"
Everyone was happy, talking and laughing and walking with her. Wen Yi was happy to meet her friend again, but she didn't know that on the small building not far from her, Zhu Jingshen, the son of King Kang, had just experienced a fright, and was smiling stiffly at the crown prince Zhu Jingkun, with cold sweat on his back.
