royal girl

Chapter 231
"Why are you here? Huiyu is really honored." No matter what she thought in her heart, Huiyu greeted him with a pleasant smile.

Mrs. Luo was wearing a rust-red long-sleeved tunic-patterned pair of breasts, a brown horse-face skirt, and a pair of red gold long hairpins inlaid with emeralds on her head. She watched Huiyu come up to her and said with a smile: "Madam, don't ask me Come, Princess Jing, don't blame me."

"Look at what you said, if I knew you were willing to come, I would have posted a long time ago. I heard that you rarely go out this year, and the juniors don't dare to disturb your rest. I am very happy that you can come to Huiyu today." Yu personally helped Mrs. Luo and walked in.

"Hehe." Mrs. Luo laughed, "Princess Jing is still as eloquent as when she was in her boudoir, and her mouth is very sweet."

Huiyu laughed inwardly, hehe, Mrs. Luo might not have been able to take a serious look at her when she saw her in her boudoir.At that time, the most beautiful thing in Duke Dingguo's mansion was Dong Wan, the eldest daughter of the first wife, and Dong Wan was the granddaughter of Mrs. Luo. As for herself, the eldest daughter of the second wife, these high-ranking wives did not value her.When the old Fengjun of the Duke's Mansion was ordered to go there by himself on his birthday, the old Fengjun treated himself like air.

"You still remember the past so clearly, it really makes me ashamed."

Huiyu accompanied Mrs. Luo talking and laughing into the door, so that Mrs. Luo was the highest seniority present, so she took the first place as a matter of course. Although Huiyu, a princess, has a high status, she still has to do it in front of such elders. Somewhat respectful.All of a sudden, the hall was busy, and everyone was very surprised why Mrs. Luo would appear here suddenly.However, no one is really stupid enough to come forward and ask straightforwardly, most of them are politely inquiring, but Mrs. Luo is good at Tai Chi, no matter what others ask, she just smiles and says: "Old women also like it." A plum blossom, I heard that Princess Jing is holding a plum banquet today, so I came to see my vision."

Among the crowd, Mrs. Zhaoguo was the most surprised, and Mrs. Da was the most surprised.

"Mother, you're here." The eldest lady passed the happy faces of the crowd standing in front of Mrs. Luo, and glanced at her daughter-in-law again.

Yan Yibai also rushed forward to greet Mrs. Luo, "Grandmother is well."

On the other side, Mrs. Zhaoguo looked at her sister-in-law and nephew's face slightly darkened, but she adjusted her mood and walked over.When she looked at Huiyu, she also felt a little sorry, because she really didn't know that her mother-in-law came back today, and she didn't hear any news.If Princess Jing blamed her for not notifying her in advance, she would be wronged.

"Mother, if I know that you are also here to enjoy the flowers, my daughter-in-law would not dare to go one step earlier, please forgive me." The smile on Mrs. Zhao Guogong's face was somewhat forced.

Huiyu understood at a glance that Mrs. Zhaoguo was kept in the dark about Mrs. Luo's coming, which is really strange.But as long as Mrs. Luo doesn't take the initiative to speak up, she would be stupid to ask what is the real purpose of your visit today?

Although Mrs. Luo's seniority is high, the status of the daughters-in-law of the royal family is high, so it will be considered a tie.Huiyu took a lot of pains to sit down. She couldn't treat Mrs. Luo too slowly, and she couldn't treat her sisters-in-law too lightly, so she could only invite Da Furen, Mrs. Zhao Guogong, Mrs. Dong Er, the two aunts of the Xing family, etc. The honorable wives sat with Mrs. Luo.Several sisters-in-law here had a table, and invited Yan Yibai, Tong Shu, and Liang Yi who had made friends with him to come and accompany them, and the rest like Song Yufu, Qin Roujia and others made a table, and even Someone with a slightly lower status opened a table in the next hall, and there were more than a dozen tables inside and outside in a short time, but at this moment everyone's voices could not help but quiet down, obviously Mrs. Luo's arrival Still very influential.

After dinner, Huiyu also arranged for a storyteller to come and entertain Mrs. Luo with the list of plays. Mrs. Luo ordered "Hit the Golden Branch", and Huiyu looked at it and her eyelids twitched. , I think Mrs. Zhaoguo will definitely feel uncomfortable. Da Jinzhi tells the story of a royal princess marrying into a courtier's house and treating her parents-in-law poorly and being beaten up by her husband when he was drunk.

Sure enough, as soon as the title of the play was sung, Mrs. Zhao Guogong's face instantly became very exciting, but she still had to maintain her demeanor under the eyes of everyone, and she was probably going crazy with anger.

After Mrs. Luo ordered the plays, the list was given to Concubine Su. Among the royal daughters-in-law, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the emperor. Naturally, she ordered first. After reading the list, she smiled and ordered "The Story of the Tonggong". It tells the story of a family of mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, and nephew who have a quarrel and finally get back together.

Huiyu couldn't help secretly praising Mrs. Luo, seemingly inadvertently, giving Mrs. Zhao a bad look. Princess Su was able to build a ladder for Mrs. Zhao. This kind of favor is really easy, and Huiyu feels that she may not be able to do it Zhang Yuqiong is so sensitive.

Mrs. Zhaoguo looked at Princess Su from afar and smiled, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Concubine Su gave Xia Bingyu the list of tricks, and Xia Bingyu took it over and looked down at the repertoire, and her bare hand slightly landed on "Yuhuan Lock".This play tells the story of a family of wives and concubines. The wife is virtuous and the concubines are hearty.Accidentally picked up the jade ring lost by the mistress, and took the jade ring from the mistress to deceive the husband's sincerity, resulting in disharmony between the wife and concubine, and the tragedy of divorce between the husband and wife.Afterwards, the heavens have eyes, and the principles of heaven are clear, and finally find out the truth and give his wife a fair story.

Huiyu felt that Xia Bingyu ordered this play, and the most ugly person should be the eldest lady. Isn't her daughter Xia Bingyu's side concubine?Although the side concubine has a high position, she is still a concubine.This is to tell everyone that Dong Wan has something wrong in her heart?

The play list is passed down, it's okay if Chu Ke doesn't like it, and Huiyu won't be the first if she is the master.The remaining concubines will not exceed the rules in front of their sisters-in-law. Only Princess Yi symbolically ordered "Mandarin Duck Mirror". It is novel, but it eases the atmosphere in the room, which shows that Princess Yi is also a smart person.

After ordering here, I sent the list of operas to the table next to me. Most of the people didn't order operas. Only a few people ordered a few operas with happy meanings in the spirit of cheering. Ordering operas looks simple, but it is actually a hidden life The attitude makes people laugh.

The stage has been set up long ago, and after ordering the play here, preparations will begin over there.

Huiyu saw that the sky was about to get dark, so she ordered the kitchen to prepare the dishes.Huiyu entered the mansion three years late, and the maids and women in the mansion were all trained by Madam You. In addition, after Huiyu entered the mansion, the rules were particularly strict, and at this time she showed a particularly calm attitude.While walking, the posture is graceful, the corners of the clothes are only slightly raised, and the steps are slow and the movements are brisk. Coupled with the green shirts of the girls, they are beautiful and elegant. Shutting back and forth will only make people feel as pleasing as the scenery.

Mrs. Luo couldn't help but nodded, she turned to look at Huiyu and said with a smile: "Princess Jing is really good at managing the house. She is young and has no elders to guide her. It is really amazing that the first flower viewing banquet can be done like this. good."

It's really rare to hear such praise, Huiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "You are really flattering me, if I can have the slightest bit of tricks from Mrs. Tai, it will be my blessing."

The eldest lady was in a particularly good mood at this moment, and was about to speak when she heard Second Madam Dong take the first step, looking at Mrs. Luo and saying: "The child's family history can't be boasted, how can it compare to Sister Wan's intelligence, speaking of Wan My sister is still Mrs. Tai's granddaughter who is most similar to you, but it's a pity that none of them came today, otherwise I would be able to enjoy the family happiness."

Mrs. Dong's words had just landed, and it happened that the two side concubines Wei and Yang had just walked in, and the words were about Ning Wang's side concubine, which made them a little bit desperate.

Da Furen and Mrs. Luo didn't expect Er Madam Dong to be so aggressive and didn't show any face. The smile on Mrs. Luo's face was reduced by three points, and Da Furen's expression was not very good-looking.But Huiyu didn't seem to see it, her eyes fell on the two of Wei and Yang, she stretched out her hand and called them over, introduced them to everyone with a smile, and then said: "You guys came just in time, pour wine for me first , don't treat the distinguished guest slowly." There was a three-point intimacy in the words, as if they had a very good relationship.

Hearing Wang Hao's words, Concubine Yang's face became more joyful, and she quickly said: "The servants and concubines are usually treated favorably by the princess, and today I finally have a chance to share my sister's worries. Naturally, I wish for it."

Everyone had long heard that the two side concubines of Prince Jing's mansion were just a display, and that they hadn't shown up in Sister Zhao's Xisanmanyue before, so they had long been suspicious.Unexpectedly, when he appeared this time, his wife and concubines were in such a harmonious and happy appearance, which really caught everyone's eyes.At least others thought that the wives and concubines in Prince Jing's mansion could never get along well. After all, the concubine was the only favorite, which made people hate her.

Then he looked at the clothes of the two side concubines, and then looked at the clothes on Huiyu's body. For a while, he couldn't see any difference in the materials. It can be seen that the materials of the clothes are the same, but the patterns are slightly different.

"It's the blessing of the servants and concubines to be able to share the worries of the concubine and sister." Side Concubine Wei said softly with a smile and lowered her head, with a cowardly look that I still feel pity for.

Huiyu smiled very brightly, looked at them and said, "There are two younger sisters, you are the only ones who need such an errand."

"Thank you, Consort Wang, for your love. My sisters, just follow my sister's orders." As he said that, he turned to the concubine Fu Fufu, but the jugs in the hands of the girls were toasted at the table with Concubine Wei, and the hall became lively again in an instant. stand up.

I don't know how many people are talking about the affairs of Prince Jing's mansion behind their backs, but looking at the scene where the wives and concubines are in harmony, I instantly feel that the rumors are misleading.

As soon as the two side concubines came in and disturbed her, Mrs. Dong's previous words were diverted. Huiyu toasted Mrs. Luo, and Mrs. Luo took a sip, which was considered to be enough face for Huiyu.

The two side concubines were already halfway through the banquet after the toast, so Huiyu placed the two of them at a table next to them. Madam Yang and Madam Wei happened to be sitting on this table, so that their mother and daughter could sit at the same table It's time for a meal.Mrs. Wei went through what happened that day, and she didn't want to come to Prince Jing's mansion today, but she decided to come because she thought that if she didn't come, it would make things harder for her daughter.Thinking of Princess Jing's sharp wrists that day, and looking at the face she gave her daughter today, my heart is really bitter and astringent, sour and sweet, and the taste is hard to understand.

"I heard that there is a cousin girl in the house. I don't know who it is?" Mrs. Luo looked at Huiyu with a smile and asked softly. As soon as the words came out, everyone's attention was immediately aroused. After all, this news was really spread in the capital. There was a lot of uproar, but Princess Jing was very restrained, she didn't see the slightest move.Everyone knows that there is such a person, even Xia Bingyu would not mention it easily, at this time Mrs. Luo asked gently in the tone of an elder, which complemented each other.

"My cousin wears double filial piety. She misses the family members who have passed away in her heart, so she didn't appear in front of everyone. However, since my cousin is here, everyone should know each other. In the future, everyone will meet frequently. If you don't know each other It’s my fault if it’s a joke.” When Huiyu said this, she was generous, with a bit of intimacy in her expression, as if she valued her cousin very much.

As soon as Huiyu's words fell to the ground, Concubine Yang laughed softly, and said to everyone: "As soon as the cousin girl entered the mansion, the sister Wangfei asked Nanny You to take care of her personally. I was so envious at that time. Our princess The most kind-hearted, Biao girl has a poor background, I don’t know how much I love her, I am jealous.”

When Concubine Yang said this, everyone laughed and looked at Huiyu differently. Could it be that after marrying someone, you really become a good wife and mother?
"Look at what you said, don't tell me I don't love you anymore?" Huiyu gave Concubine Yang a deliberate look, then said with a smile, "Since you said that, I'll let you go this way and go to the back to take care of you." Cousin, please come to meet everyone, and let you show your merit."

"That's really an honor for a concubine." Concubine Yang stood up very happily, and walked out with a gesture. After taking a step, she turned her head, looked at Concubine Wei and said, "Sister Wei, do you want to go together? This The credit belongs to the two of us, and when the time comes, Sister Wangfei will get an extra reward for her meritorious deeds."

Everyone was coaxed into laughter by Concubine Yang's playfulness, and Concubine Wei also hurriedly stood up, "Go, of course I will, how can I not go, I can wait for the big reward from my sister Wangfei."

The two walked out one after the other, and there was a little girl waiting outside the door to lead the way.

Such a picture of harmony between wives and concubines is really eye-catching. Second Mrs. Dong just feels pleasing to the eye no matter how she looks at her daughter.The eldest lady is a bit apprehensive, obviously it shouldn't be like this, but it just happens to be like this.If others don't know, how can she not know Huiyu's temperament!

Xia Bingyu at the other table looked sideways at Huiyu's smiling face, but the smile on her face was somewhat cold.

"They are all princesses, but the four siblings are different from others, even the concubine at home is different." Xia Bingyu said this seemingly casually.

Princess Jia answered casually, "Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law is really powerful. I see that the two side concubines are very respectful to Fourth Sister-in-law." That intimate gesture was what surprised everyone.

At this moment, Princess Huai looked at Princess Jia and said: "If only the two from my family and the two from Sisao's family are so obedient, I really need to save a lot of worry."

Princess Yi pursed her lips and laughed lightly, looked at Princess Huai and said slowly: "Sister-in-law Wu is really good at joking, there is no one who is obedient for no reason, everything is going to come and go, don't you think so?"

Concubine Huai looked sideways at Concubine Yi's eyes, but she was still patient, she just smiled and didn't say much.

The younger brothers and sisters at the bottom were fighting each other, and the sisters-in-law at the top were all watching it as a joke. No one would take the initiative to say something, or they would use the title of sister-in-law to persuade others.Xia Bingyu's mind was not on the wine table, she was only thinking about Yue Shuiqing.He also looked at the table next to Huiyu who was smiling and praising Yue Shuiqing's appearance and virtue, such as submissive temperament, beautiful appearance, and filial dejia, and the compliments flowed out like running water.

Praise it hard, it's good to praise the genius.At that time, when the cousin becomes a sister, hehe, with this praise first, let's see what excuse Dong Huiyu uses to accuse Yue Shuiqing.As long as Yue Shuiqing can gain a firm foothold in Prince Jing's Mansion, the following things will be much easier.

Xia Bingyu still wanted to find a chance to meet this Yue Shuiqing, and she had to let her know who was her master, but Dong Huiyu was so generous that she sent him to her.

The room was filled with laughter and everyone was curious about this cousin girl, and the girls and women in the yard were in a hurry.Ji Qiyu in the front yard was entertaining male guests, and there could be faint shouts of fighting wine, which added a bit of interest.

Halfway through the banquet, it is the time when the sex is naive, so this kind of cheerfulness is also appropriate.

However, Concubine Wei, who had left not long ago, staggered into the door in a hurry, looking at Concubine Jing with a pale face.

Huiyu's eyes met Shangwei's side concubine's frightened look with a look of fear that couldn't be concealed, and asked, "What's going on, why are you so scared?"
