Chapter VIII
At the time, Mrs. Lu gave birth to a prince, and the mother and son were safe, and the name was given, Xiao Changzuo, implying the prosperity of the country.
Xue Yu remembered Xiao Lu's secret letter to her, if Xiao Zhengxu died and had no heirs, then he would raise an army to claim the emperor, and when he recaptured the country, he would allow her wherever she wanted to go.
The prince is 100 days, the prince is established, and the Quartet congratulates.
"Can you dress up?" The palace maid asked in the front hall.
"Niangniang is going to the banquet, and the emperor is urging her." Aunt Su asked on the side,
Xue Yu looked at the person in the bronze mirror, upright and serious, but there was still a trace of childishness on his face, sighed deeply, and then said to himself, "It's not good, it's not good." "I've been sighing so much lately.
Xue Yu got up, graceful and luxurious, and incomprehensible in beauty.
"The mother is so beautiful." The little palace maid on the side admired.
"That's because you haven't seen much, it's not that the daughter of Lord Gu's family is the first beauty in the capital, but it's a pity that the mourning family hasn't seen it." The palace was boring, and Xue Yu loved to listen to those palace maids talk about the lively things outside the palace.
"The maid has seen it, but it's not as good as the mother." The little palace maid said.
"You will flatter the mourners, but how have you seen it?" Xue Yu asked.
The palace maid wanted to support her, Xue Yu thought to herself that she was not really old, so she signaled that she didn't need to.
"A few days ago, the maid's mother was sick, and she went home on leave, which coincided with the Qinglian Temple Fair, and the maid's whole family went, and the Gu family girl also went, but she was teased by the youngest son of Master Dong's family."
"But the one you recognized a few days ago?" Dong Yi's youngest son was born in the outer room, and the outer room died of a serious illness, Dong Yi took it back, and it became a major event that was discussed by the people of the capital, and it is said that Mrs. Dong Yi also took good care of this ready-made son.
"Exactly, mother."
"Then the Gu family is so good, how can the Qingliu family endure such an insult." Xue Yu asked.
"Yes," the little palace maid said excitedly, "This matter went to the Tingwei Mansion, Lord Gu refused to say softly, and insisted on curing the crime of Lord Dong's youngest son, and later I heard that Lord Dong personally escorted his youngest son to the Gu family to apologize, and beat him up in front of Lord Gu, so this matter is over." ”
"Then Lord Dong also gave up, I heard that Lord Dong loves this son very much."
"But isn't it, that Lord Dong's youngest son loves Willow Lane of Flower Street the most at a young age."
"Qingluo, don't chew right and wrong in front of your mother." Aunt Su said.
"Yes." Qingluo replied.
"Auntie, it's rare for someone to tell me what's new outside, Qingluo, remember to tell me if there are any interesting things outside in the future."
Qingluo glanced at Aunt Su and replied, "Yes." ”
"The Queen Mother arrives in ......"
Xue Yu sat down, the ministers worshipped, and the mountain was a thousand years old.
Today is a big day for the imperial court to set up the prince, and the emperor took the prince to the temple to tell his ancestors, and held a celebration ceremony in the evening.
"Everyone."
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Mrs. Lu is no longer a lady but a concubine, she is the biological mother of the prince, but the child is not raised in her name, but handed over to the queen.
Xue Yu sat upright, today's wine seemed to be a little sweeter, she drank a few more glasses, a little unbearable, but fortunately, the celebration had come to an end.
"Niangniang, the maid went over and told Your Majesty, Niangniang should go back and rest first." Aunt Su said.
"It's fine." Qingluo helped the Queen Mother walk from behind the screen.
The wind in August and September was muggy, but it made Xue Yu sober up.
"Mother, be careful of your step." Qingluo reminded.
At the corner, there was a person blocking Xue Yu, a handsome son, with red lips and white teeth.
"Niangniang Ann." The sound is delicate.
"Who are you who dare to block the way of the Queen Mother." The waiter on the side scolded.
The young man smiled, adding a bit of evil nature, "Under Dong Yu." ”
Qingluo whispered to Xue Yu, "It's the youngest son of the Dong family." ”
The servant who scolded him just now immediately bowed his head and said, "I don't know if it's Dong Gongzi, I also ask Dong Gongzi to move, and the Queen Mother wants to leave for Changming Palace." ”
"Today's banquet is not in line with the mother's wishes, why did you withdraw so early."
"Niangniang drank a little too much today, she needs to go back to rest early, and Dong Gongzi can continue to appreciate it." Waiter.
That Dong Yu smiled, got out of the way, and stared at Xue Yu with only one eye, Xue Yu was very happy.
I didn't want to go back and meet another person halfway, and the waiter was afraid of meeting a nobleman, so he didn't dare to scold loudly, and asked who it was, but the person didn't say a word, and saluted, "Liu Yan has seen the Queen Mother." ”
Xue Yu asked him to get up, "I haven't seen the general for a long time, how is the general?" ”
I haven't seen this person for almost two years since I said goodbye last time, and this time at the banquet, Xue Yu sat on top of it through the bead curtain, and he didn't see him when Liu Yan visited him.
Seeing him at this time, he seems to be much stronger than two years ago, and he is much darker.
"The minister is good, the mother is good?"
"The mourning family is very good, more generals are worried, and the generals don't go back to feast?"
"If you drink too much wine, come out and let off the smell of alcohol."
"In this case, the general is at his own convenience." After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "General, there are more tributes sent in the past, the mourning family and His Majesty love it very much." ”
"Niangniang and Your Majesty like the blessing of the minister."
Xue Yu Changming Hall slept at the end, and slept until noon, but fortunately no one came to disturb her.
"Auntie, Qingluo ......" Xue Yu covered her head and shouted, the wine was delicious, but the stamina was really a little big, and her head was dizzy.
"Niangniang..... Qingluo ran in and lifted the curtain, "Niangniang, you can wake up." ”
"Where's Aunt Su?" The back of Xue Yu's hand blocked the sunlight coming in, "What time is it?" ”
"Aunt Su went to get you a decanting soup, it's noon now."
"It's so late, why doesn't my aunt wake up the mourning family." Aunt Su is the most rules-oriented, and on weekdays, when she is lazy for a while, she has to make rules with her.
"My aunt said that you drank too much last night, it must be uncomfortable, teach the maids not to disturb you, let you sleep more."
Qingluo helped Xue Yu to get up, and the palace maid came in with a wash.
Aunt Su entered the hall, "Niangniang hurry up and drink some sobering soup to make it less uncomfortable." ”
Xue Yu looked at the bowl of black medicine-like things in Aunt Su's hand, "I don't drink it, it smells bad." ”
"It's a good thing to smell bad, Niangniang won't feel bad if she drinks it, I let people add honey, and candied fruit is here, if Niangniang drinks it, if it's bitter, eat a few."
"Okay then." Pinched her nose and drank it all, with a little sweetness in the bitterness, she was acceptable, but she also ate a few candied fruits, and Aunt Su didn't give her more of this kind of sweets on weekdays.
"Well, what is this?" There are several flasks on the table, as well as several small boxes.
"Oh, this is given to Niangniang by General Liu Yanliu, yesterday Niangniang praised the wine at the banquet for being delicious, and today Lord Liu sent it, and a few things are said to be their food, give Niangniang a taste."
"Liu Yan?" I remembered that I met him when I went back to the dormitory last night.
"Yes, Niangniang, Lord Liu came to see Niangniang early this morning, but Niangniang was still asleep, so Aunt Su refused."
