Chapter 21: The Banquet at Home

As soon as the words fell, the axe in her hand slashed straight at Wang.

"Ah!!h

Wang screamed in fright, only to feel a cold wind ruffle her sideburns, and she didn't dare to open her eyes for a long time.

Until Yun Zhaoyue chuckled lightly and shouted behind her.

"Come in!"

"Mrs. Xiangguo opened the door to greet her, such kindness, we can't help but appreciate it!"

Wang slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yun Zhaoyue's eyes full of banter that could not be hidden, turned around and threw the axe to the groom, and said lazily: "Next time, change the big one, and the small one will be troublesome to smash the door." ”

Wang gritted his teeth and hated to chew Yun Zhaoyuesheng to pieces, and the grandmother on the side was too frightened to speak, so he asked hard-headed after a while: "Madam, do we want to prepare lunch?" ”

Seeing Wang's lowered eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and explained: "In the end, the eldest lady turned back to the door, and the prince was here, so if she didn't come in, she couldn't ask them to sit down, after all, the princess was ......."

Mama wanted to speak and stopped, but the meaning was self-evident.

Wang could only take a deep breath and swallow the bit of discomfort before turning his head to Mama and said, "Let the kitchen prepare, you don't have to be very careful, just fool around at will." ”

Before the words fell, I suddenly saw a girl with a petite figure but extraordinarily delicate facial features walking over.

smiled at Wang: "Mrs. Xiangguo, I am Lingxi, the personal maid next to the mother, the princess asked me to tell you that the prince has a lot of taboos, and today's dishes must spend ten percent of your thoughts, if you don't know anything, you can ask me questions." ”

"The prince is golden and noble, if he is not thoughtful, the prince will not be happy......"

Lingxi paused slightly, "I'm afraid that outsiders think that the Xiangguo Mansion has some disobedient intentions and wants to murder the prince......"

"Ridiculous!"

Wang's color changed suddenly: "Xiangguofu has been a minister for generations, and he is loyal, and you little girl can slander it with empty words?" ”

Lingxi's voice trembled, as if he was a little frightened by Wang's attitude, but he still said firmly according to Yun Zhaoyue's instructions.

"That being the case, then I hope that Mrs. will not make a mistake at today's lunch, and she will be talked about in vain."

After speaking, he didn't look at Wang's face, turned around and left.

Wang was trembling with anger, pointing to the back of the pedestrian, his voice full of anger.

"Look, a maid dares to step on my head and teach me a lesson!"

"This little slut born in the countryside, if it weren't for listening to Liu, where would he have the opportunity to come to the capital to see the world, and he would not be grateful, but he would dare to show off his might in front of me, and be careful that I let her continue to go back to the countryside to feed the pigs!"

"Ouch madam, be quiet, people haven't gone far yet!"

Mama was so frightened that her face changed, and she lowered her voice and said: "If people know that we let that little slut marry Miss Liu instead, but it is a big crime to deceive the king, and then we will be punished by the Nine Clans!" ”

"No matter what dissatisfaction you have, just endure it and pass, you see how many days the sick prince can live, and say that he has to wait for half a year, and the slut will be buried with him!"

This Wang suppressed his anger and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Yun Zhaoyue pushed Shen Beiyan to the main hall.

"It was rumored before that Mrs. Xiangguo was very fond of her daughter-in-law and regarded her as a pearl in the palm of her hand, but when I looked at it today, it was a little different from the rumors."

Yun Zhaoyue was stunned and said casually: "The rumors are naturally not fully believed, the prince has been fighting abroad for many years, and the current affairs in Beijing are fickle, and it is normal for there to be discrepancies." ”

"Really?"

Shen Beiyan said lightly: "Looking at Mrs. Xiangguo's reaction, this king thought that he had changed his daughter." ”

Yun Zhaoyue smiled reluctantly and did not answer.

"There is a rumor in Daliang, I wonder if the princess has ever heard of it?"

Yun Zhaoyue was faintly uneasy in her heart, and said perfunctorily: "The concubine has been raised in the boudoir all the year round, and she has not seen or heard much outside, and she has no leisure to understand. ”

Shen Beiyan didn't seem to be able to hear the resistance in her tone, and still said to herself.

"It is rumored that if a noble family raises twins in a lunar year, especially a woman, it is a very ominous sign, which can lead to the destruction of the family, and the destruction of the parents, the husband, and all the people involved."

"In order to circumvent this curse, most families will choose to abandon one child and raise the other."

Yun Zhaoyue's speed of pushing the wheelchair slowed down, and she only felt a buzzing in her ears.

Yanzhu seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Hey, I remember that the princess was born in the lunar year!" ”

"It's a good thing it's not a twin, otherwise how pitiful the other child would be!"

Shen Beiyan said lightly, "Yes, it must be abandoned, as if dead." ”

Seeing that the main hall was approaching, Yun Zhaoyue chuckled, "I don't believe in fate, I only believe that people will win the sky!" ”

When waiting for the kitchen to prepare lunch, Wang didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he could only sit on the side and chat with the two.

"It's really unfortunate today, Xiangguo Canal investigated the matter of water transportation, and waited for the two of them."

Yun Zhaoyue poured Shen Beiyan a cup of tea, and said casually: "Then call someone back, it's rare to go back, and you always have to have a reunion dinner." ”

Wang's eyes widened, as if he felt that Yun Zhaoyue's idea was extremely unreasonable, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart, whether he was born in the countryside and married into the palace, or he was so illiterate and had no ink on his chest.

"What do you know about a girl's family, water transportation is a matter of national ancestry, how can it be child's play? When can't you eat a family banquet, why delay Xiangguo's official business? ”

"Who can't investigate the water transport, and want him to be an incompetent person there?"

Wang was furious, "Your father worships Xiangguo, and he has done his best for Daliang all these years, how can you slander him out of thin air?" ”

Yun Zhaoyue sneered, "Relying on the official restoration of the position in exchange for marrying a daughter, why do you really think that you have the ability?" ”

She glanced at Wang lightly and took a sip of tea.

"If it weren't for the fact that grandpa was the emperor, how could it be his turn to be in the position of Xiangguo?"

"I envy my father's good life, the first half of my life depends on my capable father, and the second half of my life depends on marrying my daughter, I don't have any ability, but I have been prosperous and rich for a lifetime!"
