Chapter 9: Family Feast

One

The next day, Ye Hu entered the palace with his wife.

At the gate of the palace, it was a coincidence that I met Mr. and Mrs. Dengli.

Dengli led his wife Ronglan to meet his brother and sister-in-law.

The crown princess affectionately took Rong Lan's hand, looked at it carefully, and praised: "Sure enough, it is a famous family in the Tang Dynasty, extraordinary, such a beautiful daughter-in-law, how can I give up my brother when he goes on the expedition?" ”

Dengli smiled: "Sister-in-law made fun of it." ”

Rong Lan said humbly: "Sister-in-law praises falsely, Rong Lan is ashamed." ”

Everyone laughed and entered the Khan's dormitory.

Princess Ningguo was very happy when she saw Jia'er and the beautiful woman coming, and said, "It's rare for you to come together, and the Khan must be very happy." ”

Ye Hu looked at the princess with a somewhat unnatural look in his eyes.

Princess Ningguo was calm and said, "The Khan has just had breakfast, you can just go and ask for peace." ”

Everyone walked into the Khan's bedroom together, and saw Khan leaning on the bed studying a stack of books.

When he saw his sons and daughters-in-law come in, Khan immediately smiled, put down the fold of the book, and said: "I am all right, the queen insists that I lie down and rest, and I am about to suffocate me, and you come to talk to me, I am very happy." ”

Princess Ning Guo smiled: "I want you to rest more, I didn't care about Khan's body, but now it's mine." It's hard to be a good person. ”

Rong Lan and the crown princess both bowed in front of the bed and said, "My daughter-in-law asks my father Khan for peace, and I wish my father Khan good health and a speedy recovery." ”

Khan smiled: "Hurry up, it's cool underground." No need to be polite. ”

Khan said to Rong Lan: "Are you still used to living?" ”

Rong Lan said shyly: "It's okay." ”

Khan turned his face to Dengli and said: "Your daughter-in-law has married so far, you have to treat her well, if you bully your daughter-in-law, I won't spare you." ”

Dengli said: "Where does the child dare to bully her." ”

Princess Ning Guo smiled: "I'm afraid it's too late to hurt, where are you willing to bully?" ”

The khan solemnly instructed Dengli: "I will set off tomorrow, when I get to the border, be careful in everything, don't make decisions in case of trouble, and discuss more with the prime minister, after all, Jiang is still old and spicy, and with more experience, you will have fewer detours." ”

Dengli only agreed.

Princess Ningguo said: "Khan is also true, the young couple are newly married, and they want to be separated." ”

Dengli said: "Father Khan once taught his children that the love of children is long-term and small, and the country's major affairs are important. As children, they should share their father's worries and do their best for the country. ”

Khan nodded approvingly and said, "I didn't think you still remember this sentence, good." ”

Ye Hu saw that Dengli was praised by his father Khan, and his heart was sour. glanced at Dengli, and saw that Dengli was still not arrogant or impatient, looking modest and cautious, which was really hypocritical to the top.

The khan was happy in his heart and said, "Today you all stay in the palace to eat, first, for Dengli to practice, and second, our family has a reunion dinner together." ”

Princess Ningguo interjected: "I also want to celebrate Khan's health. ”

The Khan was overjoyed and said, "The queen is still understanding. ”

Princess Ning Guo glanced at Ye Hu out of the corner of her eye, but she commanded: "Come on, set up a banquet in the hall." ”

Two

In the hall, two tables were set up face to face, two young couples sat on the left and right, and the middle table was the Khan and Princess Ningguo.

A veritable family banquet, with a list of delicacies and a harmonious atmosphere, but, between the cups and the cups, behind the laughter, there is hidden eyebrows and ghosts.

Although the khan was not cured from a serious illness and could not drink alcohol, he could only substitute tea for wine, but he was very interested, and said: "Come, make this cup first, and look forward to the triumphant return of Dengli." ”

Ye Hu held the wine glass in his hand and said: "I respect the eldest brother for doing it first, and I wish the second brother to expel the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

Dengli knew that Prince Ye Hu recommended the meaning of Dide, obviously he was loving, secretly guarding, and he was like a mirror in his heart, but he didn't know, he took a wine glass, smiled slightly, and said: "Big brother rest assured, the younger brother will definitely live up to the entrustment, this trip to the border, he will definitely succeed, deter Dawan, so that he does not dare to violate our land." ”

Khan looked at the two promising young sons, beamed with joy, and said, "Your brothers love each other, support each other, and comfort your father." ”

Princess Qiu Bo of Ningguo said in turn: "The Khan has such a good son, and the concubines are really envious." The corners of his eyes and eyebrows swept over Ye Hu's face quickly.

Khan laughed and said, "My son, isn't it your son?" If you like it, just give Ben Khan another one. ”

Princess Ningguo said shyly: "Don't make fun of your concubines. The concubine is afraid that there is no such blessing. ”

Ye Hu said: "The queen is young, and there will be opportunities in the future. I just need people to be prosperous in order to be prosperous forever. ”

The queen looked at Ye Hu with a smile and said, "With the prince's auspicious words, if the palace has an heir, I hope to be as dignified as the prince." ”

The two of them talk back and forth, conveying an ambiguous affection that only two people can understand.

The people took up the wine and drank it all.

As soon as he finished drinking a glass of wine, he heard a dispute outside the hall, and Khan said angrily: "Who is making noise outside?" Don't know about Ben Khan's family feast? ”

When the waiter heard this, the Khan was angry, so he had to reply: "It was Mrs. Shu who wanted to see the Khan, and the villain couldn't stop it, so they argued." ”

The Khan said angrily: "What did that ominous woman do to me? No, it ruined my interest. Tell her to. ”

Princess Ning Guo said, "Wait. ”

Princess Ning Guo said: "Mrs. Shu has a weak temperament, if there is nothing to do, she will not come, let her come, see what she has to say." ”

When the khan saw the queen say this, he had no choice but to stop objecting.

When Rong Lan heard that Shu'er was coming, she also stretched her neck, waiting to see the miserable appearance of this former county lord with infinite beauty. I heard that she had a scabies-like thing, and she was disgusted by the khan and couldn't even see her face, and she was reduced to the point where she was not even as good as a girl, and it seems that the situation is true.

Rong Lan's excited eyes couldn't escape the eyes of Princess Ningguo, and the princess was a little disdainful. Although he bullied Shu'er, he didn't like others to trample on Shu'er.

No matter how poor Shu'er is, she is also her cousin, with royal blood, and she is a noble county lord in her bones, what is your Ronglan, giving you a county lord title, it is to make peace and sound good, and you really regard yourself as a golden branch and jade leaf. Princess Ning Guo sneered.

Princess Ning Guo said gently, "Please ask Mrs. Shu to come in." ”

Three

Shu'er can't eat or sleep for the sake of Qingmei in the past few days, and everyone has lost a lot of weight. She has been looking for an opportunity to save Qingmei, and today, she finally waited.

I heard that the Khan was in good health and held a banquet in the palace to entertain his family, he must be in a good mood, and at this time, as soon as the Khan is happy, maybe he will let the green plums go. The queen is ashamed of herself, and she will not embarrass her own girl if she wants to.

Shu'er thought about it again and again and decided to take a risk, but Shu'er, who was humble and weak, had no other way.

But outside the hall, he was stopped by the waiter, and he couldn't say all the good things.

When the waiter heard that the queen had been invited, he let him go and led Shu'er to the hall.

Shu'er knelt in the dust and said, "The concubine will meet the khan and the queen." ”

Princess Ningguo was taken aback, she hadn't seen her for a few days, and the graceful Shu'er had already described herself as haggard and couldn't hold it.

Thinking of the past, Princess Ning Guo's nose was sour, and she said, "Sister, get up quickly." Are you here today for something? ”

Shu'er kowtowed and said, "Shu'er asks Queen Khan to forgive Qingmei for her unintentional mistakes and let her out." ”

Khan and Princess Ningguo glanced at each other, a little surprised, and said, "It turns out that you are here for Qingmei." ”

Shu'er said: "Although Qingmei is at fault, but the crime is not to death, now she is locked up in the Criminal Division, tortured, a weak woman, how can she withstand it, it won't be long before she dies, pray for her sake, spare her life, Shu'er is grateful." ”

Khan remembered the lovely appearance of the green plum, seemed to be moved, and said in an inquiring tone: "What does the queen think?" ”

Although Princess Ningguo is jealous of Qingmei's competition for favor, but the Khan likes it, and she is not too much, besides, Shu'er's appearance makes it difficult for her to refuse, so she got off the donkey down the slope and said: "The concubine thinks that since the Khan's body is fine, this girl has been locked up for a few days, and it is finally a small punishment, for Mrs. Shu's sake, let her be spared." ”

Khan had no intention of embarrassing Qingmei, hindering the queen, and planned to release her in a few days, but now that the queen agreed, of course she couldn't ask for it, so she said: "Then give her this face and let her maid out." ”

Shu'er was overjoyed, she didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so she solved the matter of Qingmei, and she hurriedly said: "Thank you Khan, thank you Queen." ”

Princess Ning Guo personally sat down, helped Shu'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "They are all sisters, why do you need such a big gift." He turned his face to the Khan and said, "Mrs. Shu is also her own person, so let's leave her for a meal at today's family banquet." ”

Shu'er said in a panic: "No need, the concubine has a low status, how can she go to the elegant hall." ”

The khan was a little displeased, and said, "As a concubine, how can she have a seat here?" ”

Rong Lan, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly said: "Father Khan is right, I heard that Mrs. Shu is suffering from a stubborn disease, if she infects others, how can she be good?" ”

Dengli looked at Rong Lan with some surprise, how could his gentle and virtuous wife be so rude and expose other people's scars in public. Even if it is an unfavored concubine, she is still the county lord of the Tang Dynasty and her relatives, and she still has to have some respect.

The lady in front of her, young and beautiful, although a little haggard, but her demeanor is dignified, and her words are moderate, if it weren't for her stubborn illness, with this beautiful and unparalleled appearance, how many people in this world can match?

Shu'er was really embarrassed, and said loudly: "Yes, thank you for the queen's kindness, I'd better go back." ”

Princess Ningguo glanced at Rong Lan angrily, and Rong Lan immediately turned away as if nothing had happened.

Khan said impatiently: "Let's let her go back, she is more comfortable, and it will save everyone awkwardness." ”

Shu'er said: "The concubine will go back." Please also ask the khan not to break his promise, and to give the order to release the green plum as soon as possible. ”

Khan said cheerfully: "Ben Khan will send someone to go, if Lady Shu is not at ease, you can go with the guards." ”

Shu'er said happily: "The concubine is willing to go together." ”

Shu'er turned around and walked out of the hall, only to hear a sigh behind her.

The crown princess Anya, who had never said a word, sighed in a low voice: "It's really a shame, it's a pity that this good appearance of the country and the city." ”

Princess Ning Guo was slightly stunned.
