305 Chapter 305
"Hmm...... Listening to the little guy who sent the post from the Yu Palace, it has now been confirmed that the four princesses and the lord of Zhurun County have been invited, and it seems that the princess and your cousin Miss Bai Hui are also invited, and there are other girls who have not yet married. Miss Huang has been appointed as the fourth princess, so although her background is not noble, but Yu Wangfu must also be invited......" Yinzhen snapped her fingers and recalled, it was her greatest ability to talk from all kinds of people:" The older ladies of the family, Yu Wangfu does not seem to be invited, thinking that it has rained for such a long time, the elderly ladies of each family may be a little uncomfortable, young ladies, who are familiar with the princess, Yu Wangfu invited your sister-in-law and Mrs. Xu, the daughter-in-law of Princess Zhaochang, but it is also a face-saving feeling, and more invitations are those who are usually in Yuwangfu. ”
Chapter 305: Chongyang (I)
A Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, maybe the people who come to the banquet change every year, but no matter how people change, it can't change the essence of everyone's hearts.
The eldest princess of Zhaoxing originally wanted to become a good thing for her son Shangzhu through a family banquet, but she was inserted by Du Ruo, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but Du Ruo's way of stumbling was not clever, even if she wanted to hold a family banquet in Yuwangfu when Chongyang? When He Ping'an married into Yuwangfu, she brought a lot of maids to accompany her, and now although He Ping'an is gone, how can she Zhaoxing eldest princess not be able to use these people well?
Back at the Yichun Hou Mansion, the mother and son conspired carefully again, just waiting for Chongyang to achieve good things on this day.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the capital of Emperor Xuan, which has always been rainless in autumn, rained unprecedentedly, and it rained continuously, and it did not stop for more than 20 days. At first, the people were still glad that there was rain that could hold back the autumn tigers, but when the rain kept falling, they began to worry -- many crops that had not yet had time to be harvested had already been soaked in the fields by the rain! The emperor also hurriedly issued an edict to arrange for disaster relief, and many places where the harvest was not very good were opened, and for a while, the people were panicked, as if something big was about to happen.
Finally, three days before the Double Ninth Festival, the sky cleared, and the long-lost sunshine not only dispelled the dense clouds in the sky, but also dispelled the haze in people's hearts. There are still many places in the country that have done a good job of flood prevention, and there are still many crops that can be harvested, and everything is finally on track again.
He Changan looked at the invitation note handed over by the silver needle, which was the invitation to the chrysanthemum appreciation party sent by the Yu Wangfu three days later, and couldn't help but think about the various turmoil at the banquet when Lu Duo had his birthday last time, and he began to feel nauseous for no reason in his heart, and the silver needle also knew what He Changan was thinking, and asked tentatively: "Princess, please stick this ...... it"
"Who are the people invited to the chrysanthemum viewing party?"
"Hmm...... Listening to the little guy who sent the post from the Yu Palace, it has now been confirmed that the four princesses and the lord of Zhurun County have been invited, and it seems that the princess and your cousin Miss Bai Hui are also invited, and there are other girls who have not yet married. Miss Huang has been appointed as the fourth princess, so although her background is not noble, but Yu Wangfu must also be invited......" Yinzhen snapped her fingers and recalled, it was her greatest ability to talk from all kinds of people:" The older ladies of the family, Yu Wangfu does not seem to be invited, thinking that it has rained for such a long time, the elderly ladies of each family may be a little uncomfortable, young ladies, who are familiar with the princess, Yu Wangfu invited your sister-in-law and Mrs. Xu, the daughter-in-law of Princess Zhaochang, but it is also a face-saving feeling, and more invitations are those who are usually in Yuwangfu. ”
Liu Yanling is now seven months pregnant, and He Jiaqing is not at home, so most of them want to call herself sick and go, but Shi Qi has no reason not to go. He Changan was slightly surprised, and she didn't know when Du Ruo would do things like this, according to her temperament, she had always been reluctant to invite people who were not very close to her, what was the reason for her to suddenly change her sex? But this surprise only flashed in her mind, and the crying of her sister interrupted her thoughts.
Even the sun was shining high for these two days, and the sun was even better on the day of Chongyang, the sun was like fire as if it was midsummer, He Changan sat on the carriage to Yuwangfu, the sunlight made her feel a little dazzling, she put down the curtain, the sunlight was blocked, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't tell the reason for this uneasiness.
The silver needle saw it on the side, and handed over a lamp of poplar branch nectar with a smile: "It's been a long time since it's been so hot, and it's normal for the princess to be uncomfortable for a while." The slave maid brought this poplar branch nectar to the princess to cool off, and the princess used a lamp. ”
He Changan took it and sipped it in small sips, but the feeling of uneasiness did not subside because of the coolness of the yang branch nectar.
The chrysanthemums of Yuwangfu are good, this is indeed true. Earlier, He Ping'an liked chrysanthemums, so when the Yuwang Mansion was completed, Lu Yuan also spent a lot of money to hire someone to reclaim a chrysanthemum garden with many varieties of very valuable chrysanthemums, and the small flower ponds on both sides of the road of the Wangfu were all kinds of chrysanthemums. After Du Ruo became the princess, I don't know if she also likes chrysanthemums, or in order to leave a good impression on Lu Yuan, in short, the chrysanthemums in the garden are very well preserved, and they are vigorous, which is a scene of Yu Wangfu.
Although He Chang'an is not a frequent visitor, he has also seen this chrysanthemum a few times, and always feels that it is the same flower that blooms in autumn, this chrysanthemum is a little too cold and arrogant, and in contrast, the osmanthus is much more low-key, maybe small, maybe not noticeable, but the fragrance is enough to show their existence.
He Chang'an arrived not early, her house is not close to Yuwang's mansion, as long as it is not late, it is not rude, going too early will lose the momentum of Qin/Wang/Mansion, through the tender yellow chrysanthemums, I heard the woman's chuckling voice from afar: "The second sister-in-law is also here, why don't we go in together." ”
This voice He Changan is not familiar, but he can get a glimpse of who is speaking just by his title. Now in the entire imperial capital, the person who can call her a sister-in-law can only be Princess Ping Geng Nuan, He Changan's face was slightly solemn: "If you are pregnant, you should be careful if you are not at home." ”
Geng Nuan saw He Changan's nervous expression, and couldn't help but smile more and more brightly: "Thank you second sister-in-law." But the second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, my own children, I will naturally pay attention. As for being careful, in front of everyone's eyes, if something happens to my child, this is the territory of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, but I am afraid that the person who does it is too unwise. Besides, I may not have seen Sister Qi for a long time, since I was pregnant, the prince looked at me closely, if it wasn't for the banquet of the eldest brother and sister-in-law's house, the prince would not let me come if he said anything, I would be considered a fake public servant. ”
He Changan was a little dumbfounded, in her impression, Geng Nuan has always been a person who doesn't talk much in front of a person, but she didn't expect her to be able to say such a string of cannons, if it weren't for the noble woman's temperament in her words, as well as the friendship with Shi Qi mentioned in her words, she would almost think that this Geng Nuan was also reborn like her. Sure enough, people have a hidden and unknown side. Thinking of this, she also nodded: "King Ping loves you, which is naturally a good thing." I've heard my cousin say I'm good friends with you before, and I don't want your relationship to be really so good, so that you're going to be so pretending to be selfish. ”
The two of them talked and laughed and walked together to appreciate the chrysanthemum Xuan, this pavilion was also designed by He Ping'an himself, Lu Yuan found a craftsman to build, Geng Nuan didn't know the inside story, only felt that the design of the pavilion was extremely magnificent, and the person who designed it must also be from a good background, He Changan looked at the cornices of the chrysanthemum Xuan, but couldn't help but sigh that things were wrong, although the festival with He Ping'an in those years was not shallow, but the person was dead, and she didn't want to complain too much.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw Lu Chengyi coming from another path, she was wearing a silver-pink hibiscus jacket, but the lower skirt was a very simple moon-white skirt, and the petite person stood in the garden full of yellow flowers, looking more and more delicate. Over the years, she has become more and more similar to Qing Concubine, with infinite charm at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, standing in the crowd has become more and more eye-catching, Geng Nuan couldn't help but smile: "Either how to say that when my daughter's family is not married, it is the best time for color, and when she is married, she will get old." I really miss being a girl at home a few months ago!"
As soon as these words came out, Geng Nuan Science received a slap in the eye from He Changan: "You and King Ping's newlywed Yan'er, you are embarrassed to say this kind of nonsense here, and you are not afraid that we who are obsessed with you will hate you." ”
Geng Nuan hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, sister-in-law, is it my brother and sister, you have a lot of adults, spare your brother and sister!"
Lu Chengyi also walked up to the two of them at this time: "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law." ”
Although she is dressed beautifully today, there is always a kind of loneliness in her eyebrows and eyes that cannot be concealed, He Changan has always felt that Lu Chengyi's nature is not bad, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Chengyi shook his head, avoiding the important and light: "It's nothing, it may be a dazzle, a little dizzy." The third sister-in-law is really well-dressed today, and in eight months, I will have another little nephew. ”
Not long after, Shi Qi also brought Xu Shan here, because of the last incident, Xu Shan was taught a hard lesson by the family, so this time I saw him, but he was a little less innocent, and he greeted everyone present one by one like a little adult, but he really had a bit of a ladylike appearance, seeing Xu Shan, He Changan couldn't help but think of Xu Huanche, Xu Huanche was a year older than her, and now she has three daughters, but Xu Huanche has never married a wife, and people in the imperial capital are crazy that he has Longyang.
She and Xu Huanche are not close, but at least they are cousins, when she was just reborn, Xu Huanche treated her really well, so she felt in her heart that such a humble and gentlemanly cousin should not be a person with such filthy bad habits.
He Changan was immersed in his own contemplation, and a burst of applause sounded on the side, it turned out that Du Ruo stood up and announced that the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting had begun, and announced that everyone present would have something to show, whether it was poetry and songs, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they must be related to chrysanthemums, if they can't be realized, they will be punished with a glass of chrysanthemum wine. She first gave herself a chrysanthemum poem, and then she heard those who were good friends with Yuwangfu cheer together. Shi Qi shook his head almost unscrupulously, and bit his ear with He Changan and said, "I don't know how much effort she spent in secret, but this poem is made according to her cousin-in-law, but there is really a gap." ”
He Chang'an understood in his heart, Liu Yanling's talent and fame have always been good in the imperial capital, and her relationship with He Jiaqing is also related to her talent, but today she is already very old, so she couldn't come, but it made Du Ruo out of the limelight: "There are always pheasants that can fly on the branches, but no matter how they fly, they are also fake phoenixes, can the sparrows applaud in unison, can they make the fake real?"
