Chapter XVIII

Yang Leyu got off the sedan chair, and a little eunuch led her to the banquet.

The feast had not yet begun, but the guests had almost arrived. The courtiers are located on the left side, and the harem concubines are located on the right side, just because Mu Chengzhou has just ascended the throne, most of the concubines are empty, and the rest are the concubines who have been serving from the Hou Mansion, and the Empress Dowager Xu, Dong Ji and her generations are big.

Yang Leyu's seat was impartially sandwiched between the Empress Dowager and Dong Ji, there was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, and Yang Leyu already had a premonition that today's banquet was not a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, but a Hongmen banquet.

Yang Leyu sat down quietly, and the afterglow caught the fiery gaze from both sides, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, anyway, it was uncomfortable.

She looked around, everyone was raising their glasses and drinking, but there was silence on her side, as if it were not a world.

Yang Leyu quietly glanced at the Queen Mother on the left, she closed her eyes and recuperated, polishing a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, with a lofty attitude and unwilling to deal with worldly disputes, and she didn't see the appearance of wanting to reward her at the beginning.

Yang Leyu figured out, maybe the queen mother changed her temperament after worshipping the Buddha, if this is the case, but she has a small belly and chicken intestines.

At this point, Dong Ji spoke first, "The clothes of the too beautiful woman are luxurious, but the color looks very childish, so it doesn't match the royal style." ”

Yang Leyu knew that she was going to find fault, and she didn't want to tolerate it anymore, so she sneered: "Thank you Mrs. Dong for your compliment, this is sewn for me by my best friend, and my heart is more precious than any color." When you say that, I'm afraid it's because you've never had friends. ”

Dong Ji was coldly choked by her words, and glanced at the Queen Mother, intending to pull another alliance, but the Queen Mother kept her eyes closed and twisted beads, and did not collide with her sight.

She had to have something to say, and said: "Too beautiful with a good mouth, but it's a pity that the Queen Mother is a model for the harem, I'm afraid I don't like to be so clever, you and I have to learn to take the Queen Mother as the standard." ”

She suppressed it after moving out, thinking that Yang Leyu was not good to refute it, but Yang Leyu was not at the mercy of others, and said through her words: "It is this principle, the Queen Mother is virtuous and studious, but Dong Taiji doesn't know a single big character, I don't know if the six-character mantra that His Majesty gave to Taiji yesterday can be read and recited?" ”

"You!" Dong Ji's hairpin shook angrily, but she couldn't pick up half a word.

Yang Leyu accepted it when she saw it, and no longer entangled with her.

At this time, Mu Qinghong came pacing in a blue eight-treasure long coat and greeted the queen mother, and then she opened her eyelids and responded.

Mu Qinghong turned to Dong Ji and said, "Taiji Niang Niang'an," he paused and glanced at her lower abdomen, "Are Benhou's younger brothers and sisters okay these days?" Did you disturb Tai Ji resting? ”

When Dong Taiji heard this, she immediately straightened her back and pulled the corners of her mouth: "I'm tired of Langya Marquis, everything is fine with the third prince." ”

Mu Qinghong: "How does Taiji know that she must be the prince?" Ben Hou is looking forward to being a princess, so that I and the royal brother can have a sister to love. ”

Dong Ji said twice, saying that it was the imperial doctor in her palace who was decided, and it should be true.

Yang Leyu was strange, normal expectant mothers would not be taboo for others to mention the fetus in the womb, but the newborn should be happy, but Dong Ji couldn't see the joy at all, and yesterday she wanted to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse, and she still had signs of taboo.

Could it really be as Gan Tang's guess that she is fake pregnant? !

Yang Leyu was taken aback by her own thoughts, if she returned to the palace with a fake pregnancy, according to Mu Chengzhou's temperament, even ten heads would not be enough to cut off.

Dong Ji's pair of autumn eyes glanced around uneasily, she had to change the topic and perfunctory about it, so her eyes fell on the clothes of Yang Leyu and Mu Qinghong.

Covering his lips and smiling: "Hey, Taimei and Langya Hou are really smart, the color of this shirt is just right!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were attracted to it, and Yang Leyu immediately tightened.

Mu Qinghong has not changed much, "Picking colors and styles is the difference of the Shangyi Bureau, and it is not uncommon to happen to match them." ”

Yang Leyu admires his fearless attitude in the face of danger, which may be related to his already gentle and jade-like temperament, unlike Mu Chengzhou's despicable character, which makes people's hair stand on end.

Just thinking in his heart, Feng Bao shouted in his voice: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

As a result, all the guests knelt down when they heard the sound, and none of them dared to exceed the rules slightly.

Mu Chengzhou wore a crown of twelve liuliu, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and the jade seal on his waist jingled with a bell, leading the way.

Yang Leyu quietly raised his eyes and found that Mu Chengzhou's clothes today were different from usual, not because it was rare to wear bright yellow, but because this bright yellow was mixed with pine green, which was an excellent color matching, which made people's eyes shine.

Moreover, to her surprise, in addition to Feng Bao and the palace people following, Wu Buyue actually lowered her head and followed him!

Wu Buyue changed out of the five-grade female official uniform she wore on weekdays, and wore a green pine embroidered ball official uniform, which was eye-catching, and matched Mu Chengzhou's yellow and green dragon robe.

Mu Chengzhou crossed the crowd and stood alone in front of Yang Leyu, "Except for Concubine Yu's mother, the Qing family is flat." ”

Yang Leyu: ?

Mu Chengzhou solemnly glanced at the clothes on her body, glanced at Mu Qinghong's again, and sneered: "I don't know, today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was not to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, but a show to pave the way for mandarin ducks." ”

The guests were in an uproar.

Yang Leyu said in his heart that he had really committed madness again, what was the fuss about a piece of clothing.

Before she could reply, Mu Qinghong said respectfully: "Brother Huang misunderstood, how dare the younger brother break the Gangchang Rite Sect?" This shirt was made by the younger brother of the Shangyi Bureau, and it has nothing to do with the beauty. ”

Mu Chengzhou said gloomily: "So everything is the fault of the Shangyi Bureau. He deliberately paused to observe Yang Leyu's reaction.

At the same time, Wu Buyue knelt down in response and listened to the holy teachings.

Compared with being punished herself, Yang Leyu was naturally more worried that her best friend was responsible, Wu Buyue kindly asked her to choose fabrics, how could she be implicated?

Therefore, Yang Leyu looked up at him, "It has nothing to do with the Shang Clothing Bureau, but I like this color and match it myself." ”

Mu Chengzhou looked at her pleading guilt, thinking that his little concubine mother was soft and glutinous on weekdays, but at the critical moment, she was willing to stick a knife in her friend's ribs, and most of her jealousy disappeared in an instant, but because of the emperor's prestige, she still had to support the scene.

He said: "The death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped." The first emperor's concubine Yu Mei did not abide by women's morals and was fined for three months to set an example. ”

Dong Ji's pride is almost impossible to hide, if she doesn't know that she doesn't like the emperor now, otherwise she has to add firewood to reduce Yang Leyu's punishment to half a year.

The root of Yang Leyu's teeth is itchy, she is not of high grade, and her monthly salary is only ten taels of silver, plus four taels to Gan Tang, how can she live?

Moreover, where did she not abide by women's morals! She is an innocent mother-fetus solo, and now she is called what others think of her!

The more Yang Leyu held her breath, the more angry she became, her beautiful eyes widened, and the anger in her eyes was about to scorch Mu Chengzhou.

Mu Chengzhou was very satisfied with the results of his disposal, he had his own thoughts, Yang Leyu was a little gluttonous cat, and it was impossible to last for three months with the remaining six taels of silver, so he could eat and drink well, and let her stay by his side more.

Mu Chengzhou sat down, and Feng Bao opened his voice and said, "Play songs and dances, and have a banquet!" ”

The guests thanked Longen, chatting and drinking, while enjoying the dance and music, and enjoying the music at ease.
