Chapter 53: Gao Jia
"The slave has seen the prince, Miss Yuan."
Stepping into the main hall, the slightly older palace maid stepped forward and saluted.
"The slave maid Mingyue was ordered by the Queen Mother to take care of Miss Yuan today."
"I'm tired."
After all, Xiaocui also knew a lot about the rules of the palace after Mrs. Bai found someone to teach her a lot, and with Mingyue by her side, Yuanli was also much more relieved.
"Lord Wang, go and get busy, with Mingyue with me, there will be nothing wrong."
Considering the Queen Mother's intentional arrangement, Yuan Li also hurriedly urged Yi Xiaohan, after all, it was the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and there were foreign ministers to congratulate her, and Yi Xiaohan wanted to come and be the focus of everyone.
Handing over a reassuring smile, Yuan Li entered the table with Mingyue.
The seating arrangement of the Ministry of Rites is very particular, although Yuan Li is a common person, but after all, she is the future princess of the imperial gift, so her seat is arranged close to the top, just one seat away from the county lord's position.
The women's seat, which was originally a little noisy, instantly quieted down after Yuan Li sat down.
"Hmph, I look like a human being, but some people, no matter how well they dress, are just like cats and tigers, and the inside is still full of copper smell, and I don't see what kind of occasion this is, if I am you, I will be embarrassed to come here." Luo Yiyi took a sip of the tea watermark in front of her, and kept muttering it in her mouth, and the people around her could hear it clearly.
Luo Yiyi saw that she cared so much about the prince, her eyes had been on Yuan Li's body, and she couldn't wait to splash the tea in her hand on Yuan Li's face.
Since Luo Yiyi saved the queen and became the county lord, the circle of nobles in Beijing has been very popular in recent years, and many ministers' daughters want to slap her up, so that they can show their faces in front of the queen more.
"That's it, pheasants are pheasants, don't you really think that you can become a phoenix by inserting feathers, right?!"
Seeing that Yuanli didn't react when she heard Luo Yiyi's words, a woman behind Luo Yiyi immediately opened her mouth to help, what about the future princess? Looking at Wei Weinuo's good bullying, maybe the prince will ruin the marriage contract at some point.
This group of people was originally a raccoon dog, and when they saw someone helping, they also began to speak ill of Yuan Wan in front of Yuan Li.
As if he hadn't heard, Yuan Li carefully tasted the tea poured by the palace maid.
Such a calm bearing made Mingyue on the side a little surprised.
"Presumptuous!" Before Mingyue came, the Queen Mother could explain it, but I didn't expect this group of people to be so bold.
Don't look at Mingyue as just a palace maid, but after all, she is the person who follows the Queen Mother, her eyes are glaring, and she looks very majestic.
No wonder the Queen Mother sent her.
"Miss Yuan's affairs are what you can arrange? If you have any thoughts about Miss Yuan, you might as well say them all, and later the slaves and maids will go to the Queen Mother together. Mingyue said it very directly, and those ladies were instantly silenced.
"This ......"
Everyone looked at each other, what they did just now was nothing more than to follow Luo Yiyi to bully those official ladies as before, after all, Luo Yiyi's backer is the queen, as long as she doesn't make trouble, there won't be much of a problem at all.
Unexpectedly, this Yuan Li was actually involved with the Queen Mother!
"Shh, this is the red sister Mingyue in front of the Queen Mother, she has been serving the Queen Mother since she was a child." I don't know who whispered, and those people didn't dare to speak.
One by one, they hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear that they would be remembered by Mingyue, and they would be sued to the Queen Mother when the time came.
"Heh, a bunch of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard."
On the seat on the right-hand side, there was a very well-dressed woman, her black hair was tied high, the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, her eyes looked at the fingers holding the tea bowl, and her lips were dyed with a slight cold arc.
Different from those female dependents, the temperament and heritage of the woman in front of her are a kind of calmness and calmness from the bones. Although her tone was flat, she could vaguely hear a sense of majesty.
"Miss Yuan, she is the daughter of General Gao, Miss Gao Jiagao."
Seeing Yuan Li's curious gaze, Mingyue whispered in Yuan Li's ear.
Gao Jia?!
Hearing this name, Yuan Li was shocked.
This is the most miserable female partner in history in the original book, and Yuan Li is too impressed by her.
is the pearl of the general's mansion, but he doesn't love red makeup and military uniforms, and he wants to fight on the battlefield like a man to protect his family and defend the country!
It's a pity that the position of the general is high and powerful, and there are a few points in the North and China camps, and there are not a few people who want to win over the general, and Gao Jia is the focus of several people who want to start.
Yuan Li remembered that neither the general nor Gao Jia wanted to get involved in the dispute between the prince, so the general wanted to recruit a son-in-law from the beginning, but in the end, Gao Jia seemed to have been framed and ruined, and finally couldn't withstand everyone's verbal reprimand, and after three days of closing the door in the mansion, he used a white silk in his room for the rest of his life.
The old general couldn't accept such an ending, and he suddenly fell ill and died on the sickbed, so far, the Gao family disappeared completely.
"Miss, miss?" Xiao Cui gently pushed Yuan Li on the side.
"What's wrong?" Awakened from the memories, Yuan Li and Gao Jia looked at each other.
The woman's eyes are very bright, there is no intrigue in the back house, and some are enough to fill the atmosphere and arrogance of the entire family and country.
Such a woman, in the end, did not die on the battlefield as she expected, but was trapped in the backyard of the four corners forever, Yuan Li took a deep breath, she picked up the tea bowl in front of her, and raised her hand to signal to Gao Jia, "Miss Gao is really as rumored, the woman does not let her eyebrows, thank you just now." ”
This is the first time Gao Jia has seen Yuan Li, but there is always an inexplicable feeling of wanting to get close to the woman in front of him.
She looked relieved and smiled at Yuan Li, "Miss Yuan doesn't have to be polite. ”
As she spoke, she lifted the tea bowl with one hand, and at the same time gave Luo Yiyi on the left side of Yuanli a warning look.
Luo Yiyi's face turned blue with anger, and she snorted coldly, but she didn't dare to say anything easily. After all, Gao Jia has a very strange temper, and he rarely gets involved with them, so he can only say that Luo Yiyi is very angry but there is nothing he can do.
Seeing that everyone in the main hall had arrived, it didn't take long to hear the eunuch singing, the emperor, the queen and the queen mother, and the princes arrived at the main hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat."
The emperor's voice fell, and Yuan Li sat back on the seat with everyone.
Today is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, there are many nobles in the high position, Yuan Li raised his eyes and looked at the top of the hall.
"It's the first time for Miss Yuan to participate in this kind of banquet," Gao Jia tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Yuan Li to introduce the person above, "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, so the eldest princess is also here." ”
Yuan Li nodded, the queen and the queen mother Yuan Li have already seen it, and the concubine sitting below the queen's side should be the most favored concubine Jing among the four concubines in the palace.
Before she could take a closer look, Yuan Li felt a gaze look straight in her direction from above.
