He Lou came back from eating, and when he saw his cousin, who was very spectacular, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he said: "Cousin, you should walk steadily, and then smash the ground into a hole." ”
If someone else said this, Qu Hongze would not punch it, and the white eyes would have to turn to the sky, with his character of never wanting to suffer, he could even beat the father who didn't learn well, and what else did he dare not do
But for this respectful and fearful cousin, Qu Hongze didn't have any temper at all, so he could only laugh with him, hoping that his cousin wouldn't pay too much attention to him.
When I got up early on the second day, I saw all kinds of exquisite breakfast in front of others, and there was only a bowl of white water with honey in front of me, Qu Hongze drank it very carefully and carefully, for fear that he would drink one less drop of honey if he went out.
Take a look at the crystal jade shrimp dumplings and drink a sip of honey water, then look at the steamed fragrant meat buns, and then take a sip of honey water, comforting yourself that honey water is a variety of delicacies, but the aggrieved energy can't be dissolved, but no one feels sorry for him.
Finally after breakfast, Ling Xiaorou took Ling Xiaomin to the banquet, but handed over the ecstatic Qu Hongze to He Louyuan, looking at his mouth that was instantly flattened, he confessed that he could only drink honey water all day, except for honey water, but even the fruit was not eaten, and the honey water was not limited to drinking casually, at most two bowls could be drunk in an hour, and the prince could also take Qu Er Ye to practice when he was idle.
He Louyuan's words to Ling Xiaorou were naturally to be resolutely implemented, for fear that Qu Hongze would steal his mouth to eat, and take them with him wherever he went, take them with him when he eats, take them with him when he exercises, and even if he is invited out to a banquet.
Seeing others eating delicious food, Qu Hongze only has bowls of honey water, although his stomach is not hungry and uncomfortable, but the psychological hunger is not experienced by ordinary people.
Secretly swore that when his cousin couldn't look at him, he would definitely grab two handfuls of meat to fill his stomach. But I don't want my eldest cousin to carry out Ling Xiaorou's holy decree like a holy decree, and even the holy decree is not as good as Ling Xiaorou's words.
Sometimes Qu Hongze took advantage of He Louyuan's conversation with people, stretched out his hand to grab a piece of meat to eat, but He Louyuan swept over with a cold look, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, the meat that fell to the ground really made his heart hurt, he was fat and he was happy, he didn't feel what was in the way, why did he have to lose it
Since the morning, he has been following behind He Louyuan, the banquet has eaten three tables, and the senior officials in Beijing he knows are not easy to see in the past, and they all greet him with a smile, if he encounters such a scene in the past, he will definitely take the opportunity to set up with these people, after all, doing business in Beijing, and his cousin is not often in the capital, with a word from these people, many things will become easier.
As a result, watching others eat and drink, he could only drink honey water, and no matter how excited he was, he couldn't get excited, except for using honey instead of wine to get acquainted with many officials who were interested in appreciating King Ningyuan, what he gained was a belly of honey water.
Others will be ridiculed if they drink less, looking at his figure, and there is a cold-faced prince watching from the side, everyone understands that the prince is looking at this cousin fat and thinking that he will lose weight.
It can also be seen that the prince can pay attention to this, this cousin is different in the heart of the prince, and he is also a little more polite to Qu Hongze, and he calls Qu Er Gongzi in his mouth.
Qu Hongze felt that he should properly show his weak or hungry appearance, so that his cousin felt distressed, but he really didn't feel how hungry he was after drinking the honey water, and he didn't look dizzy from hunger.
Until he returned to the palace in the evening, Qu Hongze threw himself on the bed, and there were two small servants sent by the prince by his side, if he dared to secretly stuff something other than honey into his mouth, it is estimated that the prince would be able to kill him.
When Ling Xiaomin came back in the evening, she saw Qu Hongze lying on the bed staring at her with teary eyes, although she saw that he was hungry and pitiful, but when she thought of this figure that even the bed was about to collapse, she couldn't bear to ignore him.
asked Qu Handa, who had not seen her mother for a day, to go down to sleep, and she sat in front of the mirror and asked the maid to remove all the jewelry on her head, break her hair, and prepare a change of clothes to wash.
Seeing that Ling Xiaomin ignored him, Qu Hongze rolled on the bed, and kept muttering, "I'm just a person who no one loves, no one will pay attention to me, just let me starve to death." ”
Ling Xiaomin's original steps were taken back, after thinking about it, he stepped out firmly, Qu Hongze peeked at it, and when he saw Ling Xiaomin stopping, he still felt that there was a door, but he saw Ling Xiaomin go out without hesitation, knowing that this time no one would let him go anymore, he could only look at the top of the bed above his head in a daze, if he had to live like this every day, when would he be a head
Ling Xiaorou took Ling Xiaomin to a banquet with the prince's family today, and the prince is Li Xun's second brother, although he is a prince, he is really an idle rich and noble prince, every day in the capital, there are some of the same idlers to eat and drink and feast, and the princess is okay in the prince's mansion to hold a banquet, and invite some ladies to come to the mansion to be lively.
Ling Xiaorou has also participated in a lot of banquets like this in Weicheng Mansion, but it is the first time in the capital, especially the ladies who were invited this time, at least they are the families of second-grade officials, like the wives of those small officials in Weicheng Mansion, even if they arrive in the capital, they are not qualified to participate.
Because of the relationship between Ningyuan Palace, although Qu Hongan was only an official of the third grade, the young lady still received an invitation. It's just that on such an occasion, even if she comes, no one will deliberately befriend her, and now that the princess has come in person, she will naturally go to the princess, who will notice this young lady who is not very close to the princess
As for the second young lady of the Qu family who came with Princess Ningyuan, although she was just a businesswoman, she was really Princess Ningyuan's cousin, and in the eyes of these people, she was much higher than the eldest young lady of the Qu family.
As for those who wanted to make friends with Princess Ning Yuan through the relationship between the eldest and young ladies of the Qu family, who would have thought that at this time, those who were just going to be used would all greet Princess Ning Yuan, even if they didn't squeeze forward, they were indifferent to this eldest young lady.
The eldest young lady felt a little sour in her heart, but she also knew that if it weren't for the relationship of Ningyuan Palace, she would not be qualified to come to this kind of occasion, so she still worked with those ladies in a spirit of twelve points, and she did not lose her manners.
Ling Xiaorou was also a little satisfied, no matter whether she was dissatisfied with the eldest young lady in private, but it was all a private matter, in front of outsiders, they were still a close and affectionate family, and they originally behaved generally to the eldest young lady, but they just wanted to let the eldest young lady know in their hearts, she was really nothing in the eyes of the noble lady in Beijing, even if she was looked down upon, it was because of the Ningyuan Palace, and the facts that should be recognized should be recognized earlier.
Now seeing that the young lady's performance is quite decent, and she doesn't show too much jealousy, Ling Xiaorou is still satisfied with her, how can a family have a spoon that doesn't touch the pot, close the door and make trouble again, always have to leave some dignity when you go out, the young lady is not confused in this matter, as long as Ling Xiaomin is tougher in the future, and she supports her, as long as the young lady is not stupid, she will not make those things again.
Speaking of which, the young lady has a lot of pickiness about Ling Xiaomin, but she is just a troublemaker, she is born in a scholarly family, and it is estimated that she looks down on Ling Xiaomin, a brother and daughter-in-law born as a peasant girl, and she can still get the love of her mother-in-law and uncle, which invisibly reminds her of Ling Xiaorou, who has always been remembered by Qu Hongan, and it is inevitable that there will be estrangement in her heart.
Ling Xiaorou saw that she behaved decently, and she didn't want outsiders to talk about the rights and wrongs of Ningyuan Wangfu and the Qu family, so she asked the maid to invite the eldest young lady to come closer.
In front of all the ladies, he said: "My sister-in-law is a cautious and shy person, and she said before that she was afraid of being rude and making people laugh in front of the ladies, so she refused to stay in front of me for anything. But I like her character of not doing anything, and I hope that the ladies will not frighten my sister-in-law. ”
A lady asked: "Isn't Lord Qu the cousin of the prince, isn't the princess called the wrong name?"
The lady who knew the truth laughed, and Ling Xiaorou also laughed for a while, and then she pulled Ling Xiaomin with one hand and the young lady with the other, "Mrs. Hong is afraid that she doesn't know, I am the righteous daughter recognized by Mrs. Qu, and the eldest young lady of the Qu family is naturally my sister-in-law, and the second young lady is my cousin, so I was used to being called at the beginning, so I didn't bother to change my words." ”
That Mrs. Hong didn't know this, after listening to Ling Xiaorou's explanation, she knew that Ling Xiaorou regarded the Qu family as her maiden family, and she was also showing everyone that she valued the Qu family, after all, the relatives of her husband's family and her mother's family were of course different in the princess's heart.
After that, all the ladies put away their contempt for the young lady, the young lady didn't say anything, but she was grateful to Ling Xiaorou, she knew from the beginning that Ling Xiaorou didn't have Qu Hongan in her heart, from the beginning it was Qu Hongan's thoughts alone, but she couldn't solve the knots in her happiness.
Although Qu Hongan treated her a lot better later, it couldn't be compared with Qu Hongze's attitude towards Ling Xiaomin, she had always been uncomfortable in her heart, so she also had a thorn in Ling Xiaomin's heart.
Before, she was still a little worried that after Ling Xiaorou returned to Beijing, Ling Xiaomin would complain to Ling Xiaorou, if Ling Xiaorou said a word casually in front of her mother-in-law or Qu Hongan, she would have a sad life in the future, but she didn't want Ling Xiaorou not only to fall into the ground, but also to treat her with sincerity.
Even if this sincerity is not as good as Ling Xiaorou's eleventh or twelfth to Ling Xiaomin, she is very grateful, after all, she knows that if she just said a few words to Ling Xiaorou, she will be looked down upon in the lady circle in the capital in the future.
Naturally, because of her gratitude to Ling Xiaorou, she was also grateful to Ling Xiaomin, no matter what, the princess did not target herself because of her, and it should be that Ling Xiaomin did not speak ill of her in front of Ling Xiaorou.
Thinking of her small belly and chicken intestines, and then comparing Ling Xiaomin's open-mindedness, the young lady was only ashamed in her heart.
