Chapter 1128

On the 28th of May, half past the time, there was a cart in front of the gate of the East Street of Bixiao hall, which was fully lined up from the street to the end of the street.

A little servant girl in green looked at the gate of East Street. Then she ran back to a black lacquered carriage at the end of the street and bowed to a woman in her forties: "madam, there are twenty carriages ahead of us! Do you want me to talk to the porter... " My wife is also the wife of general Yao. The Yao family has assisted Zhennan palace for three generations. Even if she is a concubine, she should give her the face to let the carriage of Yao family advance to the palace!

"Wait a minute." Mrs. Yao waved and didn't care.

This is the first time I came to see the princess. I don't know the temperament of the other side. It's always right to be cautious.

Mrs. Yao patiently waited outside the mansion for a long time. Her carriage was introduced into Bixiao hall.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Dongyi. Mrs. Yao got out of the carriage with the help of her servant girls. A mother in charge, dressed in royal blue and holding birthday makeup, came up to meet her. The wrinkles around her eyes were crowded together.

"Yes, Mrs. Yao." Mother in charge warmly saluted Mrs. Yao.

Mrs. Yao was stunned. She was not surprised that the imperial concubine did not come to meet the guests. After all, she is now the highest ranking female family member in the whole southern Xinjiang, and she is also the first-class princess. Today's guests can not be dignified enough to let Princess Shizi meet in person.

Mrs. Yao smiles and politely says, "mother Lu." Although she hasn't seen each other for more than ten years, Mrs. Yao still recognizes each other.

At that time, mother Lu was the powerful steward beside Dafang, the first princess. However, after the death of the former Princess and the present wife's marriage to Zhennan palace, this mother Lu disappeared in front of people I didn't expect that it's been more than ten years, and the other party actually got the important position of the imperial concubine. This is really a son of heaven and a courtier!

"Mrs. Yao still remembers my maid. I'm not very honored." Mother Lu laughed more happily. Originally, after she was in charge of welcoming guests here, she would welcome the guests to Xihong hall by the little maid.

But Mrs. Yao was not an ordinary woman's wife, and mother Lu personally led her to go.

As soon as she entered Xihong hall, Mrs. Yao was stunned again. She saw a beautiful young lady about 15 years old sitting on her master's seat, and a familiar little girl, Xiao Fei, was sitting in the armchair on her left.

For a moment, Mrs. Yao's thoughts flashed through her heart, but she didn't show any color. She went on walking slowly, and then met Nangong Yue and said, "I've met the princess."

"Mrs. Yao doesn't have to be so polite." Nangong Yue made a gesture in her eyes, and a little servant girl helped her while she bent her knees.

"Thank you, princess." Mrs. Yao did the courtesy and then looked at Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei got up to meet her and exchanged greetings.

On the surface, Mrs. Yao looked as if nothing had happened, but in fact she had already had a rough sea in her heart.

In recent days, there are rumors among some of Luoyue city's residences that Princess Shizi has made friends with Miss Xiao. Mrs. Yao only took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously. Until now, she confirmed that it was not groundless.

Mrs. Yao has heard of Miss Xiao's temperament. The princess should get along so well with her sister-in-law. She must have a set

Mrs. Yao looked at nangongyue again without a trace. She was wearing a rose purple two-color gold cut, knee length and narrow sleeve, with a horse bun on her head. Because she had not reached the hairpin, only a few red jade beads were pinned on her temples. The pearls looked simple, but the rubies were rare, and the whole body was flawless. The delicate even the pistils were lifelike. The bright and gorgeous dress set off her whole body. It seemed that she was just a pretty, generous and decent little girl. But from the beginning to the end, she was calm and did not show a trace of timidity. Mrs. Yao was vaguely aware of it.

In recent years, Xiao Yi, the son of the royal family, has gradually shown her edge. Originally, she thought that the princess was given a marriage by the emperor. Because of the emperor's fear of Zhennan's palace, she was afraid that the emperor would give him a good one. Although she is young, she is not small. She is worthy of being the legitimate daughter and Princess of Nangong family. She must be very favored. In the future, it is not easy for him to attack the son of the world if he is afraid to be his wife.

At the thought of this, Mrs. Yao settled down a lot and became more confident about the future of her family. Also, the master has always been a man with a compass in his heart. No wonder he will let hang'er follow the son of the world!

After that, other ladies came in one after another, and Mrs. Yao was led to the flower hall by a servant girl.

Walking along the hand copying corridor for a while, through a ruyi door, is the flower hall.

At this time, the weather was suitable. The maids opened all three windows of the flower hall, and the inside was bright. You could see a pair of large blue and white porcelain vases in the corner and four nanmu cherry grass cut glass screens. They were simple but elegant.

In May, pomegranate blossoms, red as fire, dazzling, sitting in the flower hall, just can see the pomegranate flowers in full bloom in the small garden, overlooking the lake, a breeze blowing, bring bursts of flower fragrance, people can not help but relax.

The tea and fruit snacks on the table have been arranged for a long time. In addition to the common snacks in southern Xinjiang, they are also slightly mixed with some Wang Du's snacks. These snacks are all made by the cooks brought by nangongyue from Wangdu. They are authentic Wangdu flavor.Many people have already arrived in the flower hall. At a glance, it can be said that it is colorful and jewelled, and it is really lively.

Mrs. Yao glanced around quickly. She was surprised. There were more people coming today than she expected. The wife and daughter-in-law of Hong Tongbian's mansion, general LAN, general Jiang, deputy general Xin, and other women's wives in the mansion also came. The foundation of shiziye in southern Xinjiang is getting deeper and deeper!

When she saw Mrs. Yao coming, she immediately got up to greet her.

"Mrs. Yao," Dr. Jiang took Mrs. Yao and sat down beside her with a smile, "why didn't your daughter-in-law come?"

When talking about the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yao's smile could not be hidden. She said, "my eldest daughter-in-law just had a good pulse the day before yesterday, so she can only complain with her son."

"Congratulations, Mrs. Yao!" he said

"I don't want to worry about anything now Mrs. Yao said so, but there was no sadness on her face, and the corners of her mouth were crooked.

Her eldest son has been married for five years, and this is her daughter-in-law's first child. She looks forward to it day and night. At least she is watching the clouds open to see the moon.

Several other ladies also congratulated on hearing the speech.

There are not many high-ranking families in southern Xinjiang. These ladies know each other more or less. After exchanging greetings, they chatted warmly

Servant girls from time to time to add some tea and snacks, very obedient.

Gradually, there were more and more people in the flower hall. Luo Yuecheng came with the wife of Lord Lu and the wife of governor ma. Then he appeased the wife of Lord Liu, the wife of Lord Yun, with his daughter-in-law and eldest daughter It's all here.

Mrs. Yao hasn't seen the wives of these civil and military officials gather together for many years. It seems that the face of shiziye is really terrible.

At this time, Mrs. Hua, sitting on the other side, patted Mrs. Yao on the arm, and then motioned her to look at the door. A proud looking lady and two beautiful girls were coming out of the hall.

There was a moment of silence in the flower hall. Everyone looked at the three people in unison, and their expressions were somewhat subtle.

Everyone knows this lady. She is the eldest sister of the Lord, Qiao Ruolan, the girl on her left is her eldest daughter Qiao Ruolan, and the girl on her right is Xiao Fei, the eldest sister of the prince's mansion.

Xiao Fei quietly led the way in front of her: "aunt, cousin, please come here."

Seeing them coming in, a woman in Lake colored ball grain stood up and warmly welcomed them, "big sister and LAN sister, you can come."

Madame Qiao nodded with grace, "second sister!"

Xiao Fei and Qiao Ruolan saluted and called out "aunt".

It is true that this lady is the sister of Mrs. Qiao and the king of Zhennan. Now she is married to Mrs. Ji of the Ji family.

"Big sister, come and sit down with my sister. She hasn't talked to her sister for many days." Ji's wife took a veil to cover her mouth and said with a smile, "it's said that there is a more" sister "in the elder sister's house. The elder sister is really virtuous. If there is a good wife, the brother-in-law will be blessed."

Although Mrs. Ji is smiling, she looks at this di elder sister coldly, and does not conceal the gloating in her eyes.

She used to like to suppress herself in her boudoir, and finally married herself. She thought that she could get rid of her completely. Unexpectedly, the other party sent two enchanting maids to her husband after her miscarriage. She also called her "sharing worries for herself" and inheriting her family planning for herself! And his mother-in-law even made the decision to accept it!

Thinking of that year's event, Mrs. Ji was still very angry and gnashed her teeth. After more than ten years of tolerance, she finally gave a bad breath in her heart.

Recently, vice general Qiao held a concubine banquet and brought the outer room raised outside into the mansion. It can be said that everyone in Luoyue City knew it. On the day of the concubine banquet, there was so much excitement that even the prince went to drink a glass of wine.

Such a beautiful concubine banquet is really unique in Luoyue city.

Although the ladies from other places did not know why, they did not hinder their imagination and outstanding communication skills. They soon learned the story from the informed wives.

Madame Qiao was already as black as the bottom of a pot. She didn't want to lose her momentum in front of this common sister. She said in a cold voice, "thank you very much for your concern! It's said that brother Lang is going to have a father soon, so my aunt should go to Daoxi for a while. "

This words let people look at each other, heart: as far as they know, the eldest son of Mrs. Ji should not be married, right? Isn't that

At the thought of this, people all look different.

The servant girl's face is hard to see in his wife's room The di elder sister is really good poisonous mind, this is to want to destroy understanding elder brother son's marriage matter!

Ji's wife said in a hard voice: "I don't know where my elder sister came from. I don't know if my elder brother has yet to get married." The heart is thinking, and so on back to the house must be ruthless to the little bitch to pour the medicine is!

The two sisters' three words and two words gave Luoyue city a lot of gossip. Mrs Ling, the third sister of Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Ji, drank their own tea from the beginning to the end. They really wanted to stay away from the two sisters.Finally, Mrs. Qiao left her seat. After Xiao Fei told her servants to serve tea, she did not leave the flower hall.

One after another, girls came and sat down beside her.

Xiao Fei is cold-natured and does not like to be lively. She has few opportunities to meet the legitimate elder girl of the royal family. No matter what the purpose is, the chance to make friends with Xiao Xiao is really rare.

They talked around Xiao Fei with a smile. They heard a girl wearing a purple flower and butterfly brocade and said enthusiastically, "she'er still remembers playing with Miss Xiao last year. She really benefited a lot. When she had a chance, she would like to play with her again."

Another girl with brocade, hazel and red jacquard mounds hastily echoed: "I was also very impressed with that game. I specially wrote down the chess score, and then repeated it several times..."

"Why don't we have a chess club on some day? How about the chess players?"

“……”

A few girls say a word, I say a word, very lively.

If it had been, Xiao Fei would have thought that she was too philistine to be polite to other people, but now she has responded one by one with a smile and treated these girls properly.

Qiao Ruolan on one side was ignored by carelessness. A touch of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she could only bear not to show her share. She sat beside Mrs. Qiao in a dignified manner.

"The prince's concubine is safe."

Outside the flower hall, the servant girls asked for peace. They could not help but follow the sound. Nangongyue, the son of the imperial concubine, came in with the two women's wives. One of them is an old lady in her fifties. She has a beautiful blue dress, some gray hair tied in a bun and a jade hairpin. The woman in her thirties is wearing a carved stick with lilac flowers. Her round face looks very kind.

It's Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Tian from general Tian's mansion!

The ladies exchanged a look with their friends. They were all moved. Xiao Fei accompanied Mrs. Qiao when she came, but Mrs. Tian was accompanied by Princess Shizi. Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Qiao are familiar with each other at a glance.

As soon as Nangong Yue entered the flower hall, the women's wives got up again and saluted again.

Nangong Yue motioned that they should be exempted, and then said with a smile, "it's almost time. Let's join in."

As soon as her voice dropped, she heard a clear female voice saying, "cousin, why don't you see my aunt today? Is it not that my aunt's body is not well maintained

It was Qiao Ruolan, who was sitting next to Mrs. Qiao. She was dignified and virtuous. It seemed that she was just curious. However, a lot has been revealed between these three words, which means that Xiao Fang has been ill for a long time. According to the truth, Xiao Fang is the mother-in-law. If she is ill, the imperial concubine should serve the disease instead of having a banquet here. If she is cured, why didn't she come? Is the imperial concubine not invited, or is Xiao Fang unwilling to come?

What's more, all the people in Zhennan don't know what's going on inside

The flower hall was silent, and everyone was waiting to see how the princess would deal with it. They also wanted to see the temperament of the princess so that they could know how to deal with it later.

Nangong Yue said with a faint smile, "my mother likes to be quiet recently. If my cousin wants to see her, I'd better wait for lunch and visit my mother again."

Xiao Fei frowned slightly, and did not wait for Qiao Ruolan to open her mouth, she followed: "cousin LAN, since her mother came back from the Ming and Qing temples, she has always been devoted to Buddhism and has lived in a simple way. My cousin is so kind-hearted. When she meets her cousin, she will be very happy."

Xiao Fei is Xiao Fang's legitimate daughter. She comes forward to complete the scene for her son's concubine. No one has anything to say. What's more, Xiao Fei's words are not wrong. Xiao Fang's family has lived in seclusion since he returned to the palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has never been to another banquet in another palace However, everyone knew that Xiao Fang was not willing to come out to the banquet because he was removed from the imperial edict.

In this way, the reason why Xiao Fang didn't come to the banquet today was somewhat ambiguous. It was possible that she was not at peace with the imperial concubine, or she was not willing to come out to see the guests.

Qiao Ruolan's eye light flashed for a while, on the surface is somewhat embarrassed to say: "is Lan Er menglang."

A small episode passed by, and the maids led them to the table one by one.

the old lady and the ladies were invited to the open hall to share the table with their sons and concubines, while the girls were at the table in the side hall. Xiao Fei shared the table with them and served them as the host.

When the people were seated, the maids in the same color of green dresses and dresses, holding the water soaked in pomegranate petals, slipped into the flower hall, and the maid's family members cleaned their hands, followed by another wave of girls in peach colored dresses, carrying hot tea, wine, and various dishes, into the flower hall. There were plenty of juices and delicacies.

These maids all lowered their eyebrows and followed their eyes, but they were flexible and flexible, and their manners were decent. The women's wives exchanged their eyes in secret, showing their admiration.

At that time, Mrs. Tian was a little complicated. Her life was changeable. When she thought that her son, Xiao Yi, had been left as a hostage to the king, everyone thought that the princess would be defeated. No, she was afraid that shiziye, who was holding a bad card, suddenly turned his inferiority into an advantage. Now it is quite like the sun, and even the prince can't suppress it.In the future, the southern Xinjiang still had to rely on shiziye to survive.

Nangong Yue said with a smile: "some plain food, please feel free to use some."

It's only with her that we have opened the banquet.

Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the opposite side of Nangong Yue, said politely: "you are very kind! I think the dishes of this table are really rich. Many dishes I have never seen before. The dishes of Wangdu are really different from those in southern Xinjiang. They are exquisite and exquisite

"Mrs. Li praised it falsely." Nangong Yue politely said with a smile, "Wangdu and southern Xinjiang are one north and one south. Naturally, this dish style is very different. Wangdu's cuisine is delicate and tastes heavier, while the southern Xinjiang's dishes are fresh and tender, fragrant and sweet. They pay attention to the original flavor and the original flavor, and each has its own merits."

"The princess said so." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but echo, "although the imperial concubine has just come to southern Xinjiang for a short time, she has told us the essence of our southern Xinjiang cuisine."

All the people complimented him in succession, and the praising words surrounded Nangong Yue, and the atmosphere soon warmed up.

The meal lasted for more than half an hour, and both the guests and the host were happy. After the meal was removed, the maids served hot tea to the people. Before the tea was cold, Mammy Lu walked in with a smile and asked them to move to the garden to see the opera. They said with a smile, "princess, ladies and gentlemen, the gongs will start after another round of incense."

The ladies got up and went to the garden, talking and laughing.

The stage is set up by the lake in the garden. The lake is full of water and the fields are lotus leaves. It's good to watch and enjoy the opera.

The guests were led to the waterside pavilion in the small garden, and then went up to the second floor. Tables and chairs had been set up on the veranda for everyone to watch the opera.

At this time, the direction song of the stage sounded, and one by one the actors with heavy makeup appeared on the stage and began to sing on the high stage. Among the flowers and shadows, the actors sing and dance, which has a leisurely and elegant atmosphere.

Magpie son took the opera fold to come over, blessing body way: "please son imperial concubine order drama."

In a banquet like today, listening to the opera is just to enliven the atmosphere. So, what you want to order from the play is some drama pieces. If you order a piece of famous repertoire, each guest can almost enjoy the whole play.

Nangong Yue knew what the opera fold was, so he didn't open it, so he casually ordered a paragraph: "the last fold of" flowers in the mirror. "

After that, she gave the trick to Mrs. Tian, but she said politely, "I'm old and I'm dazed, so I'll order it at will."

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao's face on the other side was all black. She was an aunt and an elder. But the imperial concubine asked Mrs. Tian to play first, which was clearly her own face!

"Mother, how about your daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Tian took over the opera from Mrs. Tian and ordered a section of "drunkard".

She closed the script and handed it back to Baihui. Then it was Mrs. Qiao's turn to order the play.

Doctor Qiao was so popular that he almost turned over his face and didn't accept the play. However, on second thought, he had an idea, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

She picked up the opera fold and looked at it casually. She said with a smile: "let's have the third fold of the story of the cold kiln."

Hearing the name of the play, the women's family members have already looked at each other in awe. The play of "the story of the cold kiln" is quite famous in Dayu, and many women like it. The problem is that it is a bitter love drama. Since it is a bitter love drama, it is inevitable to cry.

Today's banquet is the first banquet for the prince of Zhennan. It is reasonable to say that we should order some happy songs and more martial arts to amuse the public.

But no one dares to say anything about Mrs. Qiao, and the play continues to pass on

After singing three paragraphs on the stage, it was Mrs. Qiao's turn to order the story of the cold kiln.

For a moment, the stage suddenly changed the painting style and sang a sad and bitter drama.

The story of the Han kiln tells us that Lu, the daughter of the prime minister, married Li Yuzhong, a poor escort husband, regardless of her parents' words, and cut off contact with her parents. Later, Li Yuzhong joined the army, and the Lu family kept the cold kiln alone for ten years before returning to Li Yuzhong, who became a general. Li Yuzhong came to pick up the Lu family in a red sedan chair to take the Lu family to the general's residence. However, the Lu family had already been robbed. Lu's parents were destitute and in need of help. Lu thought about it. He felt that his family was in the middle of the world, and he was no longer young. He was ashamed that he was not worthy of Li Yuzhong. He refused to get on the sedan chair, but he had to leave and let his husband marry another good wife. Finally, Li Yuzhong was deeply moved, and married Shangfeng's daughter as his wife. From then on, the two girls worked together and became a good wife!

At the moment, the song on the stage is Lu's sad recollection of that year, and crying for his husband to marry another

What does Madame Qiao mean? Others may not know, but Nangong Yue knows it. This aunt is satirizing her jealousy and can't tolerate others!

Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing. It was just a play. If he had to care about this little thing, he would have been angry and vomited blood and died.

I'm afraid Mrs. Qiao is making her own living.

Some of the ladies also vaguely guessed that Mrs. Joe was suggesting something. They were all whispering, and the atmosphere in the flower hall gradually became strange."Ah..."

At this time, Xiao Fei chuckled. Although her voice was not loud, some people around her still heard it, especially Qiao Ruolan, who was sitting beside her. She could not help turning her head and looking at Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei looked at the stage attentively. She was obviously laughing because of the play.

But isn't this a bitter drama?

Qiao Ruolan couldn't help but take a look at the stage. The actor who played Lu's family on the stage was singing to the place where she was hurt. Several women's wives heard her tears flashing, but Xiao Fei's smile grew stronger.

Qiao Ruolan almost thought that Xiao Fei and she were not watching a play. She couldn't help asking, "cousin Fei, is there anything funny about this play?" Is Xiao Fei happy with other people's sufferings?

It's not like Xiao Fei's temperament
