Chapter VII
In Guanlan Garden, Jiang Xufeng was changing clothes. It's not a formal banquet, he is dressed simply and doesn't wear a crown, and he looks like a merry man from some family.
Holly said it in a few words, but Jiang Xufeng slightly hooked his lower lip but didn't say anything more.
Zhu Zhan picked out a piece of Pisces to wear for him to wear, and he was about to set off.
"Father-in-law Zhu, Miss Ruisi from Song Liangdi's side is here, it is Master Liangdi who wants to invite His Royal Highness to dinner." The voice of a small eunuch came from outside the door.
Jiang Xufeng raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Zhan, who immediately gave Holly a look.
Holly went to the door and pulled the little eunuch away, and lowered her voice: "Your Highness wants to go out, don't you know?" His Royal Highness Song Liangdi's side hasn't seen her in the past few days, so why aren't you smarter. ”
The little eunuch only dared to puff his mouth secretly, and Holly, who followed His Royal Highness, was naturally not afraid of offending Song Liangdi, where did they dare to provoke.
"Your Highness, in the morning, Song Liangdi came in person, saying that she was making amends for yesterday's incident."
Jiang Xufeng raised his eyebrows and said flatly: "She is the daughter of the Song family, what is the crime?" ”
Zhu Zhan didn't understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, he didn't dare to continue, but fortunately, His Royal Highness didn't have the intention of replying.
The banquet is just a wine tasting banquet held by Han Huan, the eldest son of the right servant archer, and this banquet is held every year, and the time is not fixed. At the beginning, it was a gathering of all the sons to have fun, and it was not until the rise of Jiang Xufeng that this banquet changed its nature.
Han Qing, the second son of the Han family, is Jiang Xufeng's companion, and he has the same temperament as Jiang Xufeng, and he is quite in love.
Han Huan stood at the gate of the garden, saw the palanquin of the prince's mansion from a distance, waved his hand and instructed the servant: "Quick, go find where the second prince is, and tell him that His Royal Highness the prince has arrived." ”
Han Huan knew that the prince had been able to come here for a wine tasting banquet in the past few years, just for the sake of his younger brother's face, and the rest of the people, including him, would not be able to welcome this big Buddha.
"Greetings to Your Highness," the sedan chair has stopped, and the little guy looking for someone is still nowhere to be seen. Han Huan hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and bowed down to greet him.
"The eldest prince doesn't have to be polite, Lone is here to bother again." Jiang Xufeng is funny, Master Han has seen him more than once, why is he still like this.
"Your Highness is here, and it is shining." Han Huan laughed dryly and looked back again.
Jiang Xufeng shook the fan in his hand: "Zibei, go to him alone, the eldest prince stay." ”
Han Qing, the second son of Han, is the north. He was hiding under the porch for a drink at this time, and his position was hidden, so it was no wonder that the little guy couldn't find him.
"You'll be out of the woods."
Han Qing also knew who it was when he heard the voice, and lazily arched his hand: "Your Highness." ”
Jiang Xufeng picked up another wine glass, took a sip, and said in surprise: "This wine is good, strong enough." ”
Han Ergongzi smiled: "I stole it from my old man, Your Highness can save some drink." ”
Jiang Xufeng pointed at him with his finger and shook his head: "You can't drink too much, but I was told before I went out." ”
"Tsk," of course the second son of Han knew the reason why Jiang Xufeng married the eldest girl of the Wen family, but Jiang Xufeng said this, obviously satisfied with the crown princess.
He is still a courtier after all, and it is not good to ask about the crown princess. He remembered something, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xufeng: "The things that His Highness asked me to check have been clarified." ”
Jiang Xufeng opened the envelope, and there was a letter paper and a complaint inside. Jiang Xufeng took a cursory look at the ten lines at a glance, folded it back again, and put it in his sleeve.
"Lonely's expectation is good, you said that if the third brother has no money bag, will he go crazy."
Second Prince Han shook his shoulders: "I heard His Royal Highness call this third brother even more panicked." ”
Halfway through the banquet, Jiang Xufeng left early. The lights were bright in the nobles of the family, but the common people had already gone to bed early, and only the voice of the husband was left outside.
Jiang Xufeng supported his forehead, and his body swayed slightly with the sedan chair, and there was only a faint light of the night pearl in the sedan chair.
His whole person is hidden in the dark, if anyone sees his expression at this time, they will not believe that it is His Royal Highness the Prince, who is as square as jade and has a good temper.
Zhu Zhan carefully waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to change clothes and wash, and asked tentatively before going to bed: "Your Highness, the sobering soup prepared for you by the Crown Princess is still simmering, do you use a little to sleep again?" ”
Jiang Xufeng turned over, and his voice was a little blurred: "No need." ”
After another five or six days, Jiang Xufeng came to Changchun Garden again, went to Du Liangdi, summoned the concubine Lin in the small garden, and lived in Guanlan Garden by himself.
Song Liangdi went to invite a few times but didn't see anyone, and I heard that a lot of things fell in the Ruhua Garden.
Wen Jing rarely got up early in the morning, and asked Zhuyun to inform everyone that there was no need to say hello today. Because this is the first day of the new year, she wants to enter the palace to say hello to the queen.
She changed into an orange-red pleated tunic skirt, her shirt and shoes were also of the same color, and she wore a pearl crown on her head, which looked glamorous. She loves to dress up, but she will not wronged herself for any so-called reputation, and Jiang Xufeng's long gown is Yun Sijin, crossing the water once is the limit, and she can only wear it twice when she is full, Wen Jing saves him any money.
The carriage of the Prince's Mansion stopped at the gate of the palace, and Wen Jing had to take a walk on the next road.
When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, the concubines had just asked for peace, and there were a few low-ranking concubines who walked slowly, and they had to salute Wen Jing.
"The concubine asks the queen mother for peace, and the queen mother is blessed with longevity and health."
Empress Song wore a phoenix crown on her head and a long skirt with gold thread dragging the ground. She is over 40 years old and is well maintained, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes are not obvious.
Seeing that Empress Wen Jing and Song were full of smiles, her face was also kind and kind, but she waited for Wen Jing to finish this salute before she said: "Between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, where do we need so many false courtesies." You're here early, and you don't think you're going to have breakfast. It just so happens that the palace wasn't too good before, so you can use some more with the palace. ”
Wen Jing smiled and nodded, holding Queen Song's arm: "That concubine serves the queen mother and eats." ”
Wen Jing used dim sum, and the first time she saw Empress Song was before the emperor's marriage decree. The queen said that she wanted to see her, and the Jiang family had to take her into the palace. At that time, Queen Song also had a very good attitude, pulling her to ask for warmth, but listening carefully to the words was the arrogance of Queen Song as a daughter of a family, obviously wanting to borrow her father's power, but it was still like charity.
Queen Song left too deep an impression on Wen Jing, making her feel that this mother-in-law was a smiling tiger, and every time she saw her, she naturally had to make all preparations.
After Wen Jing inadvertently sandwiched a few pickles, Queen Song frowned lightly, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief: "You sit down and use some together." ”
Eat silently, sleep silently.
Queen Song spent about half an hour eating eight minutes full, put down her chopsticks, and slowly picked up the tea at hand.
