Chapter 210: The Birthday Feast (I)
Chapter 210 on the birthday feast
February 26 is the 60th birthday of the old lady of Liang Guogong, He Changan woke up early in the morning, and was asking Yinzhen to dress up and freshen up for her, when he heard the voice of Princess Lu Keyi of Wanyi sounding outside the door: "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? I came to look for you, I haven't seen you for this time, I really want to think about the second sister-in-law."
He Chang'an said in his heart, this girl is like this every time, but every time she sees her, she seems to be more mellow than the last time, so people don't know what she is talking about on weekdays, what kind of person she thinks can't eat, and where does that meal go.
But when the words came to his mouth, they still turned into spoiling: "I'm grooming, you just come in." I don't know if you really miss me, or since Rongtai was born, you have never had a chance to leave the palace, and it was easy to get such an opportunity, and Baba wanted to fly out of the palace. ”
"My second sister-in-law used to make fun of me. Lu Keyi said this, and stood in front of the bronze mirror with a smile.
He Changan was thrushing in the mirror, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Lu Keyi in the bronze mirror, who was really much thinner than before the New Year, and his little face, which had already become a little rounded, had actually lost weight back to the way he was when he first saw him.
"What's wrong with you? But there are people in the palace who bully you and neglect your food and clothing? But is it because of the prince?"
Lu Keyi rolled his eyes, picked up the snail Dai that He Changan had just put down, and drew a picture on his eyebrows: "Snub me? For so many years, can my reputation as a demon king of the mixed world come for nothing? Not to mention that there is no one who convicts my brother now, even if my brother is really guilty, no one dares to show me color." ”
He Changan nodded, this is the reason why Lu Cheng allowed Lu Keyi's arrogance to grow freely when she was still young. So that one day, if he can't protect this girl anymore, she is strong enough to defend everything she deserves.
However, what is the reason why she is so thin?
Just as He Changan was about to ask, he saw Lu Keyi's eyebrows faintly worried: "Second sister-in-law, you say...... He's going to be fine. I'm just worried about him, and I also know that my brother took him out this time, all with good intentions, hoping to help him make a career, and when he comes back, he can marry me in style. But...... Now there is no fixed number on my brother's side, although the Chen Mansion is not detained in the prison like the Jin family, but I heard from the queen mother that there have always been people watching in front of the Siguo Mansion. ”
Hearing Lu Keyi's worry, He Changan sighed softly, it was really an arrogant and domineering woman like Lu Keyi, once she fell in love with someone, she was also as careful as a hair, and she was always thinking about it. Thinking like this, she took Lu Keyi in her arms: "Silly girl, you don't think about it carefully, if your father really has the heart to attack your concubine, then I'm afraid that now, it is not as simple as monitoring the Siguo Mansion." On the one hand, it is naturally because the Siguo Mansion is one of the only three remaining Guogong Mansions since the founding of the country. On the other hand, it must be because your father feels sorry for you and refuses to condemn you, just afraid that when you marry in the future, you will be ridiculed by other sisters, you say?"
In fact, the emperor did not send people to detain the people of the Siguo Mansion, most of them because there was no conclusive evidence in their hands, to be precise, it should be that Lu Yuan did not have real evidence in his hands, otherwise, how could a person who has always taken the fight against Lu Cheng as his life a great cause, how could he let go of this opportunity to stab him through his sister-in-law? But this kind of comfort, for Lu Keyi, really had an effect, her brows stretched, and she became a heartless Lu Keyi again: "What my sister-in-law said is true." The fourth sister, whose fate has not yet been decided, likes to laugh at others all day long. When the second sister got married, the fourth sister secretly said that she was a blessed person, otherwise she would not have lost her mother at a young age, and she would have to go out to make peace when she grew up. She didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the second sister, wouldn't she have the possibility of going out and kissing?"
When Lu Keyi hurt the fourth princess, it was like eating artillery medicine, and he couldn't stop, He Changan listened to it, and remembered what he had heard before, what happened to the second princess in Nan'an, and he was also angry in his heart. According to the filial piety and indisputable character of the second princess, if the new emperor of Nan'an really took a bowl of abortion pills and ended the child's life, she was afraid that she could still think about Daxuan and her father with peace of mind;
I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable: "Okay, if you keep talking like this, I'm afraid that although you leave the palace early, it will be too late for us to arrive at the Liang Guo Mansion." ”
Only then did Lu Keyi stop commenting on the fourth princess and went out with He Changan.
At the gate of the Liang Guogong Mansion, there have long been two sons of the Duchess of Liang Guo, Bai Zongzhe and Bai Ningzhe, etc., Bai Zongzhe is already twenty-two years old, he married Geng's cousin and niece a few years ago, his cousin Mei is his wife, and now he has two sons, Bai Ningzhe also married the daughter of the governor of the two lakes Xie Shi in the first year, Xie is currently pregnant for three months.
As soon as he heard that his eldest cousin's surname was Mei, He Changan couldn't help but think of Mei Xi, since she was grounded for half a year, He Changan hadn't seen her, and it had been more than two years. But because the girl of the Mei family was too arrogant and domineering, she didn't even have a good impression of this eldest cousin.
But seeing that he hadn't opened his mouth yet, Mei had already approached with a smile: "My cousin came early, but my grandmother said that my aunt and cousin are the most filial, and it is inevitable to come early, so I came here early to wait, and sure enough, I was told to wait." ”
As soon as He Changan heard this, he immediately changed his attitude towards the Mei family, just the word cousin alone is enough to see that the Mei family is clear, and now the situation of the Qin Wangfu in Daxuan can be said to be incomprehensible to anyone, but I am afraid that no one is willing to bet on Lu Cheng. Mei's cousin is intended to show that no matter who Liang Guogongfu wants to stand on in the end, Liangguo Gongfu is always willing to be a relative of Lu Cheng and her He Chang'an.
In fact, the princely mansions of the past dynasties, to be able to do this, is the most stable secret support, Mei can say this, I think there is also the instruction of her uncle Liang Guogong, but it is rare that as a daughter-in-law, she can also say this so round and jade, which makes people's hearts iron very much.
She also followed Mei's words and said: "There is a cousin-in-law, I have to bring a pair of children on weekdays, and I have to get up early to greet us." It's just that this sentence of filial piety makes me ashamed, it's just that Princess Wanyi got the grace of God and came out to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, and she looked forward to coming out early to play. ”
Although the Mei family had followed her husband into the palace to receive the banquet before, the people who came and went were all little women of the same age, and they were just famous for the eldest princess, so they didn't know that the mother and son who followed behind He Changan were the eldest princess, so they hurriedly asked for peace: "The concubine Bai Mei asked Princess Wanyi to say goodbye." ”
He Changan admires this eldest cousin even more, friendly and friendly, but in the face of unexpected visitors, and people who are not very familiar with him, he will not be less cautious at all, such a character is most suitable for being the eldest daughter-in-law in a place like the Liang Guogong Mansion, and the person who wants to do things like his uncle, the daughter-in-law who picks out will definitely not be the kind of smart person who only has a high status, but does not match it. Now it seems that this Mei is really a wonderful person.
But she also knows that the eldest princess is not stingy, but she prefers to be lively. Sure enough, before He Chang'an could speak, he heard the eldest princess say: "Ouch, this is about blood relationship, doesn't this palace also have to call Mrs. Shizi a cousin? Why doesn't my cousin-in-law refuse to call me cousin?"
Mei Shi was stunned for a moment, and then pursed his lips and laughed: "But it's my fault, my cousin is in front of me but doesn't admit it, it should be punished, it should be punished." Xiqin, go and get my red and black brocade box. ”
The maid named Xiqin responded to the call, and after a while, she took the box, Mei took the box and stuffed it into Lu Keyi's hand: "I know that my cousin will not lack jewelry belts in the palace, but these two bracelets are bracelets of snake gallstones exchanged for Qianyoutao, they are naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, and the engraving on them is also exquisite. ”
Lu Ke is used to good things, and originally there would not be anything that would easily enter her eyes, but she had never heard of this snake gallstone, so she couldn't help but open the box curiously, and sure enough, she saw two blue and blue bracelets lying in the box.
Mei Shi took out a pair of sticks on Lu Keyi's wrist with a very good eye, and heard Lu Keyi exclaim: "Second sister-in-law, it's really warm." ”
After speaking, he realized that he might have lost his princess demeanor a little, so he took Mei's hand and smiled: "Then I will thank my cousin-in-law." Once I was at my father's place, I heard my father talk about his cousin. The father said that the daughter of the Mei family, the one who married the prince of Liang Guogong was the best, and she had a good appearance and character. It's a pity that none of my brothers are the same age as my cousins, otherwise I thought that my father would have pointed you to the prince as the princess."
He Chang'an saw that Mei's mouth was muttering that he didn't dare to dare, Xie Shengshang Longen, but his face was slightly red. Yes, who doesn't like to hear praise, let alone praise from the emperor.
It's just that He Changan is a little puzzled, will the saint really judge which daughter-in-law is good and which daughter-in-law is not good with Lu Keyi?
