Chapter 42, the unsettled turmoil
Hearing this, Su Xiuniang was excited, hurriedly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "Daughter-in-law...... Daughter-in-law......
Empress Dowager Pu frowned, looked at the people in the hall, and then looked back at Su Xiuniang, and sighed lightly, "Yu is young, I know what you juniors are thinking...... Aren't you worried about the multiple women around your husband?"
Her eyes gradually hollowed, as if she was stuck in a memory, "When the first king was alive, he often went out to fight, and when he came back, he often brought women home, and they were all women who had become wives, so in this heart, it was the same as your state of mind at this time...... Z.br>
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Pu's gaze fell on Lu Zhaoyi's body, and then looked at Su Xiuniang, "These days, Yu has also figured it out, when the first king was there, it was so ridiculous, fortunately, these sons are not like the first king, and they will not do such forced things. It's just that, Xiuniang, it has been a few years since you married King Liang, and you haven't been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately embarrassed.
General Wei's wife, who had been silent, raised her eyes and said to the Queen Mother, "The resentment in the heart of the concubine is clear to the courtier. The world has just settled down, and it has not been two years, and the days are still long! The courtiers see that Your Majesty is physically strong, maybe when the Seventh Lady enters the famous spy and ascends to the throne, she will not let you bother."
As soon as she finished speaking, it reached Lu Zhaoyi's ears, and suddenly, her face turned red, she was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, but there was no crack in the ground here, so she could only bury her head lower.
Empress Dowager Pu glanced at it a few times, as if she cared about this daughter-in-law who had not yet passed the door, and smiled at General Wei's wife, "The lady is so relieved and grateful, so this matter will be put aside for the time being!" Tomorrow, the palace people will send the gift of Dading to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion first!"
Lu Zhaoyi could only agree with it on his face, but he knew in his heart that in the matter of the emperor's wedding, the queen mother's order did not play a role, but was determined by the ceremonial officials.
Tomorrow will be blocked by the ceremonial officials, and if the fourth of the six rituals is forcibly held on a non-auspicious day, it will be regarded as a great omen, and the courtiers will never allow this to happen.
Sure enough, not long after the banquet, a palace maid stepped into the palace, it was the ceremonial official sent by the Queen Mother not long ago, and asked for the auspicious period in the near future.
Sure enough, the palace maid trembled, knelt down towards the Empress Dowager Pu, and said tremblingly: "Empress Dowager Qi, the slave maid has found a doctor of ceremonies, and according to the words of the doctor of ceremonies, there will be no marriage tomorrow. The doctor also said that it is not feasible to shorten the wedding, and that the date set earlier is already the fastest, and if he insists on shortening it, he may incur the disaster of Yasei."
When Empress Dowager Pu heard this, her face changed suddenly, and her eyebrows jumped twice.
In the end, it was all in vain.
After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, and she reacted quickly, and chuckled at Lu Zhaoyi: "Since the ceremonial officials and doctors have said so, I'm afraid that I won't be able to send it to Dading tomorrow, Seventh Lady, just follow the date set by the ceremonial official, right?" The first day set by the Celebrant is the ninth day of the lunar month, the day of great auspiciousness."
Lu Zhaoyi only nodded in response, "Everything is up to the Queen Mother!"
This matter can be said to be the top priority since the beginning of the dynasty, the emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and the auspicious day is set, it is difficult to change, and a person's will cannot be interfered with. And if anyone wants to deceive the marriage, he can't do it.
For example, the only concubine in the harem, Cai Zhengjun. This has been used as a pawn to recruit the Guan sergeant clan since the time of the first king, and Xia Pei has been accepted by Xia Pei, and because Xia Pei already has someone in his heart, he has never been fortunate from beginning to end.
It's a poor man.
At this time, Cai Zhengjun had appeared outside the main hall of Yongshou Palace, waiting for the report.
In the hall, everyone heard that Cai Guifei was waiting for the order in the hall, and they all looked sideways.
There was a hint of helplessness in Empress Dowager Pu's eyes, but because the other party was a righteous concubine, she could only wave her hand and signal the palace maid to pass her into the palace.
As early as the first time Lu Zhaoyi heard about Cai Guifei, the two had already formed a relationship.
At the beginning, Cai Zhengjun bought and killed her, and then met in Qiu Mansion, Cai Zhengjun's attitude was always to regard her as a mortal enemy.
It's just, this time, what tricks will she play? Lu Zhaoyi secretly speculated.
A moment later, Cai Zhengjun, under the guidance of the palace maid and the chamberlain, slowly walked into the main hall.
At this moment, she is wearing a plain dress, with a slender figure, a gorgeous face, dignified and elegant, and at first glance she is indeed so virtuous.
Cai Guifei bowed to the Empress Dowager Pu Yingyingfu and said softly, "The concubine sees the Empress Dowager."
Empress Dowager Pu nodded, and pointed to an empty seat with a flat expression, "Where are you going to sit?"
The vacant seat, located extremely far back, seemed to be used as a spare seat, and was placed there.
Cai Zhengjun looked at it, his face was embarrassed, but he had to follow the Queen Mother's words.
At the moment when she turned around, her eyes happened to meet Lu Zhaoyi, and that look seemed to tear her apart on the spot.
When noticing this person's unkind gaze, Lu Zhaoyi slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and looked at him with the same look.
Under the brief exchange of eyes, Cai Zhengjun took a deep breath and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
This is the official beginning of the family feast.
All of a sudden, the chatter was staggered, and the chatter involved was also a family matter, and this group of ladies seemed to be happy.
However, Lu Zhaoyi's existence is particularly eye-catching.
There was a table of dishes, but she couldn't eat it, she raised her eyes from time to time to look at the sky outside, and she was still counting the hours in her hands, as if she wanted to end the feast quickly.
Cai Zhengjun noticed it from afar, and the dishes on the table in front of Lu Zhaoyi didn't move much, so he had a plan in his heart.
"Seven Niangzi, I wonder if the imperial food made by the imperial chef in the palace is not to your taste, why do you eat so little?" Cai Zhengjun asked casually.
But as soon as the words fell, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, and there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.
"Really." Empress Dowager Pu condescendingly saw very clearly, on the other people's tables, the dishes had been reduced by nearly half, only in front of her, what was served, and what was still the present.
This made the Queen Mother inevitably a little concerned, "Is it unpalatable? Whatever you like to eat, let the imperial chef in the palace make some more!"
Lu Zhaoyi saluted sideways, "Empress Dowager Xie is in love, Qi Niang just has a bad appetite and doesn't matter."
As soon as the words fell, Cai Zhengjun grabbed a piece of fish meat from his table, stood up, strode over, and under the attention of everyone, leaned on Lu Zhaoyi, and delicately put the meat of this chopsticks on her dishes.
This action, in the eyes of others, is just an ordinary intimate action, but Lu Zhaoyi sensed a strong malice, she raised her eyes, and Cai Zhengjun looked at each other, sensing the provocative meaning in the other party's eyes.
This kind of fish with a strong irritating and strong fishy smell is a taboo for her, not to mention eating it, even if she smells it, she can't help but want to vomit.
This Cai Zhengjun is clearly deliberate.
Lu Zhaoyi's heart was burning with anger, but his face remained gentle as usual, "Thank you for your kindness!"
After speaking, she still didn't see her move chopsticks.
Cai Zhengjun had an even more smile on his face, "As the saying goes, husband and wife are one, and the date of Lu Niangzi's wedding with His Majesty has been set, as His Majesty's future wife, Lu Niangzi should share weal and woe with His Majesty. And when it comes to this food, Your Majesty used to love this fish and meat the most, but you didn't eat it, and you see the big from the small, and this alone can show that you can't advance and retreat with Your Majesty, and how can you honor the world?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed a look of surprise and surprise.
And Lu Zhaoyi's face was slightly pale.
This is straightforward.
This change in his face was fully seen by Cai Zhengjun, and his heart was full of joy.
The ladies who didn't know the truth probably secretly agreed with what Cai Zhengjun said, and they all began to persuade Lu Zhaoyi to eat some.
Su Xiuniang is the same.
And Lu Zhaoyi seemed to be a little stunned, it stands to reason that she grew up with Lu Zhaoyi since she was a child, and she knows each other's details.
As for refusing to eat meat, she clearly remembers in her memory that her seventh sister has never had any taboos since she was a child, and she doesn't know why it started now.
But in the temple of the Empress Dowager Pu, God
The color gradually became solemn, and I was a little worried.
When Empress Dowager Pu was still the wife of the prime minister, she had heard the first prince Wugong mention something, and she didn't remember it again until this moment.
"Ah Wu, is this food box intended to be sent to Lutai? Why are they all greens and fruits? Is it because of the military advisor you have been asking for so much, and you treat people like this?"
"Alas~~ Don't care if you don't know...... The military advisor once experienced a tragic thing in Xuzhou, and since then, he has been riddled with nightmares, and he can't get meat or fish, and he vomits as soon as he smells it, and he can only eat some ordinary vegetarian vegetables! Okay, don't bother about this matter, just give this box to Brother Yuanlong to deliver."
At this time, as soon as Empress Dowager Pu withdrew from her memories, she saw Cai Zhengjun holding chopsticks and forcibly stuffing fish meat into Lu Zhaoyi's mouth.
Seeing that people were so forced, Su Xiuniang and Lu Zhaowen immediately got up and fought with Lu Zhaoyi against Cai Zhengjun.
On this side, the Queen Mother was just about to stop it, and a retching sound spread throughout the entire hall.
Before that sound came out, because she was forced by Cai Zhengjun, the fish meat was pressed against Lu Zhaoyi's red lips, and in an instant, the fishy smell entered her nostrils.
In an instant, her mind flashed back to a few years ago, a pair of dead eyes stared at her motionless, also in a room, the same banquet, full of dead people, men and women, those eyes that were not blind, at that moment, aroused the long-term depression in her heart, immediately lay to the side, one hand tightly covered her mouth, it was difficult to hide her heart, the pair of bloody squeezing nasal emotions.
"Someone! Tell the Doctor!"
There was chaos in the hall.
Cai Zhengjun's smile was even colder, looking up at his fragile figure, but he was slapped to the ground by Su Xiuniang on the side.
"Su Xiuniang! How dare you hit me?"
"I don't dare hit you? Hehe! I am the dignified princess of Liang, the clan woman of the famous spy of the clan, what about you? Hmph, to put it bluntly, it's a concubine!"
Some of the young ladies in the hall stood up and stopped the two of them from continuing to attack.
"You all don't say a few words, the seven ladies are like this, let's go and call the imperial doctor."
Cai Zhengjun stood up, the corners of his mouth cracked wider, and with an expression that he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, he said unashamedly, "Call the Imperial Doctor? What is it called? She should go and call Gong Yuan to verify her identity...... Doesn't she look like morning sickness?"
Her outspoken slander made Lu Zhaoyi fall into the cusp, and some ladies who didn't know what was going on closed their eyes, looked at the shadow who was lying on her stomach and was still vomiting, and couldn't help but be puzzled.
I don't know who said at this time, "Yes! Lu Qiniang's fairy-like appearance, as well as the identity of a courtier, it is even more common for her to often interact with other courtiers, I can't say ......."
Denigrate! It's clearly slander.
But right now, Lu Zhaoyi seemed to be in a coma, everything in front of her was blurred, and she couldn't seem to see what they said, and she could only hear the miserable screams in her memories.
"Zhaoyi! Wake up!"
