Chapter 268: A Trip to the King's Mansion (Asking for Votes)
At the end of April, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer. There is neither the cold of the beginning of spring, nor the scorching impetuousness of midsummer, it is the best time of the year.
Yuchen was dressed in a green palace dress and lay lazily on the chaise longue chair. At this time, Zhiqin walked in and said, "Niangniang, Mama Tian asks to see you." ”
Yuchen sat up and said, "Let her in." "Fortunately, this Mama Tian is sensible and interesting, otherwise it would be really boring to have such a person around.
Mama Tian said: "Niangniang, the banquet has been booked, and it will be sent directly the day after tomorrow." "The day after tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the twenty-year-old prince of the tenth prince, and this banquet is booked for that day's birthday banquet.
Yuchen smiled and said, "Mama has worked hard. ”
After Mama Tian left, Yuchen restrained her smile and said to Mama Gui: "Mama, what do you mean by the concubine?" She is now pregnant and not yet three months old, and it is not suitable to work, and Song Ling'er is in confinement, so she shouldn't hold a birthday banquet in the palace. But the noble concubine Niangniang personally asked her to hold a birthday banquet for her husband in the palace. Yuchen always felt that something was wrong.
Mama Quan has been in the palace for so many years, she is very sensitive, and she also senses that something is not quite right. For such a major event as His Royal Highness's twentieth birthday, with the love of the noble concubine for the prince, how could a birthday banquet be held in the palace. Song Guifei's behavior is a bit beyond common sense, and if something goes wrong, it is a demon: "There is no one from us in the palace, and I don't know what the specific reason is." We can only wait and see what happens. "No matter what the concubine wants to do, it shouldn't hurt the princess. After all, the princess still has the blood and blood of His Royal Highness Jing in her belly.
The Han family naturally received the post from the palace. Because Yuxi's wedding was in the middle of May, she wouldn't go to anyone's banquet. Yuxi received a separate post from King Jing's Mansion asking her to attend the birthday banquet of the Tenth Prince, and Yuxi felt very strange......
Yuxi and Quan Mama said: "I will get married in half a month, how can the third sister let me go to the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness King Jing?" But she knew about it, but she still let her go, which always felt strange.
Mama Quan didn't think much about it, and said: "Niangniang should be thinking about the girl, and letting the girl go should be to talk to the girl." "I have to tell the truth about Mama Quan. Yuchen just wants to find someone to talk to, and Yuxi is the best candidate.
Yuxi said, "But I don't want to go. "There's one thing she can't tell Mama Quan. In the past two days, she has been restless, and she always feels that something is about to happen. This feeling came inexplicably, after all, she was going to get married, and something bad could happen.
Mama Quan didn't expect Yuxi to not want to attend His Royal Highness's birthday banquet, and said: "Girl, since it was the princess and the princess who asked you to go, if you don't go, you won't give the mother face." ”
Yuxi didn't listen to Mama Quan's persuasion, but went to the main courtyard and told Qiu that she didn't want to go to Yuchen's birthday banquet.
Qiu Shi didn't care: "If you don't want to go, don't go." After you get married, you will go to the palace to visit the princess, I believe the princess will not mind. "If you don't go to the palace, you don't need to find a reason, just say that you don't have time to go. Yuxi is going to get married in half a month, and it makes sense to be busy to prepare for the marriage.
Yuxi smiled and nodded in response.
Unexpectedly, after telling Qiu Shi about this matter that day, the old lady summoned her the next day. When the old lady saw Yuxi, the first thing she said was to ask Yuxi why she didn't want to go to the palace.
Yuxi didn't know why the old lady wanted to meddle in this matter, so she could only use the reason that the Qiu family gave her: "It's approaching the wedding date, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time." ”
The old lady said: "His Royal Highness King Jing's birthday is on the second day of the first month, and there are still more than ten days before your wedding, so I won't delay your business." Besides, it's not bad to be busy. Seeing that Yuxi bowed her head and remained silent, the old lady said: "Over the years, you know how Yuchen has treated you. This time, I asked you to attend the prince's birthday banquet, which is also to promote you. ”
Yuxi's heart was a little blocked, what did it mean to let her go to the birthday banquet was to lift her. However, the previous sentence can't be refuted, because Yuchen has helped her a lot over the years, which cannot be denied.
The old lady knew Yuxi's temperament, so she simply didn't reason with her: "When the time comes, you can talk to your mother." The meaning of these words is obvious, Yuxi has to go if he doesn't want to.
No matter how reluctant Yuxi was in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey the old lady. At this juncture, she doesn't want to bear such a reputation: "Good." ”
After going back, Yuxi's face was heavy. Seeing Zi Su and the others, they were shocked: "Girl, what's wrong?" The girl rarely has such an expression, what is the big deal in this matter.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Mama Quan was very transparent, and asked Yuxi: "Does the old lady want the girl to go to the palace?" In fact, Mama Quan was very strange, why Yuxi was so disgusted to go to the palace.
Yuxi looked at Mama Quan's expression, knew what she was thinking, and said what she was worried about.
Mama Quan smiled and said, "The girl is too nervous. ”
Yuxi was a little surprised: "Nervous?"
Mama Quan nodded and said, "What the girl said about uneasiness is actually that she is too nervous. To go from home to an unfamiliar environment, no matter who can be nervous. In the case of girls, there are nine out of ten girls to be married. ”
Yuxi remembered Yuchen's appearance before she got married, and she seemed to be nervous: "Maybe it's really me who is too nervous." ”
Quan Mama said: "Girl, the princess invited you to come over to talk, maybe she didn't want to win you over, so if you go to the palace, you will definitely be fine." Although Chen Ran is the second son, he is talented and his future must be limitless. Although Yuchen is a princess, she also needs help, otherwise she will always be suppressed by Concubine Song.
Yu Xi sighed. Her experience in her previous life was too bad, and she was able to marry the Chen family in this life, and then get along so well with Chen Ran, and she was recognized by Mrs. Taining Hou, which made her feel unreal. Maybe that's what makes her uneasy and afraid of change. But think about it, this life is different from the last. In his previous life, he and the second young master of the Qiu family, Qiu Lei, were just discussing marriage, and they had not yet decided to marry, and if they did, there would be no follow-up. And now, in half a month, I will marry into the Chen family, and there will be no more accidents
At the king's birthday banquet, there were not many people from the Han family. The Ye family took the lead, and then there were Yuxi and Yurong, and no one else went. Wen wanted to go, but the old lady was afraid that she would embarrass Yuchen, so she found a mistake and punished her for copying the scriptures.
Yuxi started to get up early to make up, and after the cooking was done, he took Shiso and Zijin out together. Zi Jin hasn't been in the sun for a while, and with the use of whitening things, it doesn't look as dark as before. Of course, it didn't go in vain. With Zi Jin as a foil next to him, it seems that Yuxi's skin is as crystal clear as jade, beautiful and invincible.
Ye didn't think much about who Yuxi would take. Instead, Yurong glanced at Zi Jin, then looked back at Yuxi, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is really beautiful today. ”
Yurong spent a lot of thought today, wearing a golden butterfly wearing a floral peach cloud satin robe, wearing a red gold step sway, and the tassels of the ruby swayed with the movements. According to Qiu's statement, at this age, no matter how you get it, it looks good. Not to mention that Yurong still took a lot of effort to dress up, and the color of seven points was dressed up by her as ten.
This is quite harsh, as if to say that Yuxi is not very good-looking, and she is all supported by her dress. Yuxi said lightly: "I don't have the fifth sister dressed up like this. "Yuxi used to like to wear bright and conspicuous clothes, and then wear jewelry with red gold and gemstones. But now it is not done, because he has been immersed in the sea of books all year round, and now Yuxi's temperament has changed a lot.
Imagine what it would be like for such a person to be bejeweled and wearing bright and eye-catching clothes? Therefore, Yuxi is wearing a light blue embroidered magnolia skirt today, with a lotus lotus and blue striped belt, and a flowing cloud bun, which looks graceful and calm.
Seeing that Yurong was about to speak, Ye said, "Let's all get into the carriage! We have to rush to the palace early." "They are the princess's maiden family, and usually the maiden family arrives before the other guests. This way, if you are too busy, you can also help greet guests. Princess Jing is pregnant again, so it's better to go early.
This time I went to the palace for one person and one carriage, and Yuxi was in a carriage with Zi Su and Zi Jin. After getting into the carriage, Shisu said, "It's so infuriating. When the third lady died, every time she saw the girl, she looked pitiful, but she didn't expect to change her face when she turned her head. When Wu died, looking at Yurong's sad appearance, she still felt pitiful for the other party, but she didn't expect to change her face as soon as she gained power.
Yuxi said: "When the Wu family died, she was so pitiful in front of me, but she was afraid that I would retaliate against her. Now that I have a good family and have confidence, I naturally don't have to pretend to be pitiful. She used to think that Yurong had really gotten better, but it turned out that people only used the strategy of mourning, and she was the only one who was really stupid. However, I won't do it again in the future.
Shisu asked, "Isn't the girl angry?"
Yuxi smiled and asked Zi Jin on the side: "Zi Jin, are you angry?"
Zi Jin was inexplicable, and said, "What are you angry about? The fifth girl was originally incompatible with the girl, and now it's normal to be like this!"
Zi Su held her breath in her heart, and she didn't say a word until she reached the palace.
Before getting out of the carriage, Yuxi lowered his voice and said to the two: "When you get to the palace, don't leave me." Although she had been enlightened by Mama Quan, she felt that the uneasiness was caused by nervousness. But in line with the principle of prudence, she still brought Zijin with her, even if something happened, with Zijin here, there was no need to worry about safety.
Zi Jin heard this and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will always be by the girl's side, not a step away." She did what the girl commanded, and she did not need to know why.
Zi Su's face changed greatly: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just think that the third sister and Concubine Song are not compatible, maybe she will take the opportunity to make trouble, maybe I am worried too much, but there is nothing wrong with being careful. ”
Shiso nodded. R1148
