Chapter 53

Amid Ah Meng's sudden unnecessary worries, Su Wang's righteous sister smiled and handed over the newborn baby in her arms to the nanny who followed, and the nanny carried it to show it to the people present.

Prime Minister Lu and his wife are Xiaoshizi's grandparents, and they are the highest seniority present, so the nanny took the lead in showing the little bun to the prime minister and his wife.The prime minister's wife hugged the child, teased it for a while, then smiled and said some happy words to King Su that the child looked like him.And Lu Cheng was a bit afraid to touch such a fragile child. The dignified prime minister was a little at a loss at this time, and could only look helplessly at the grandson in his wife's arms with an excited expression on his face. This is his own grandson, and the prime minister's wife is deeply ashamed.

After the prime minister and his wife had seen it, with Prime Minister Lu's reluctant expression on his face, the nanny gave the little bun to a certain general who had been waiting for a long time.

Yu Yuezhuo looked at the little bun very seriously, with some novelty in his eyes, and then said to King Su with a smile: "My lord, the little prince looks like you...uh, but I think there are only three points like you." Said Then, Yu Yuezhuo gave King Su a sympathetic look, and most of the people present could understand the meaning in that look.

Because anyone who has seen the queen mother in the palace can see that the little bun actually looks like the queen mother, and although the queen mother loves King Su, she doesn't seem to like Princess Su very much. Adding trouble to others in the good name of the other party-although it has never been successful because of the son's lack of cooperation-since King Su married his concubine, the queen mother has inadvertently done a lot of things to slow down the queen, so that some kind of reputation of King Su will spread even further away.Therefore, regarding the fact that Concubine Su gave birth to a little son who looked very much like the queen mother, it is estimated that Su Wang and his wife were entangled in their hearts. The queen mother liked it so much that she almost wanted to take her into the palace and raise her by herself.

Su Wang glanced at him coldly, then turned his head and asked, "Where is the princess?"

"Go back to the prince, the princess is resting in the room." The servant girl who was waiting on the side replied.

"Brother Wang Ye, the lady will be here in a while, let me bring the little prince to the prime minister and the others to have a look." Ru Cui also said, although her tone and attitude were very normal, but her eyes rolled around, and she could see it at a glance. It makes people feel tricky.

King Su lowered his eyelids, responded lightly, and said nothing more, as if he was not interested in what his princess was doing at this time.

Ah Meng and Yu Yuejuan also looked at the little bun together. Although this little bun was destined to be a very precious little bun since it was born, it was only full moon at this time, and it was sleeping sweetly in the nurse's arms. The small mouth was soft and greasy, very cute, and a kind of maternal tenderness appeared in Ah Meng's heart for no reason.

While observing the little bun, Ah Meng found that the sister-in-law was still absent-minded, and her face was extremely pale, especially when she occasionally glanced at Su Wang's righteous sister with very complicated eyes, which made Ah Meng feel a bad premonition in her heart, and she secretly decided to go tonight. Be sure to look after her, lest she do something stupid.

After watching the little buns, everyone said some auspicious words, and the two little buns were taken down again.

When everyone was talking, the steward hurried over, and then whispered a few words in front of King Su. King Su's expression remained unchanged, but he just nodded lightly to show that he understood, and then got up and said to the few people present: "This king is still here!" If you have something to do, leave for a while." Then, he ordered a few words to the servant girl in the room, and then left.

Prime Minister Lu and Yu Yuezhuo looked at the back of Su Wang leaving, and they turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and they both saw deep meaning in each other's eyes.

Who else could make King Su of the current Dynasty leave on the spot and deal with it personally, except that one.But they were quite surprised, that person chose to come quietly in private, they thought that according to his unreasonable favor for King Su, he would come here openly and give some halo to King Su's little son.

King Su left, and the servant girl led them to Zhiyuan, which was the largest garden in King Su's mansion, and there were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in it. It is bright and fragrant, adding a beautiful landscape to this late spring season.

Beside Sophora japonica is a lotus pond covering an area of ​​about two acres. At this time, the lotus is not in bloom, and the lotus leaves in the pond are green and fluttering in the wind. Although there are no delicate lotus decorations, it has a unique flavor from a distance.The two sides of the pond are divided into two parts, and the banquet is held here. The female guests are leaning against a large field of Sophora japonica flowers, and there are many male guests gathered on the other side of the pond.

Passing through a winding and deep verandah, men and women were separated here. Prime Minister Lu and Yu Yuezhuo followed the servant to the other side, while Ah Meng and the others were led by the maid to the female guest.

The Zhi Garden was already filled with banquets, delicate snacks and seasonal fruits were placed on the table, some noble ladies from central Beijing had gathered there to chat and laugh, and when they saw them coming, they all came forward to say hello.And Ah Meng, the general's wife who showed her face among the noble ladies in Beijing for the first time, also received enthusiastic attention from the people present - after all, what happened when General Jingyuan proposed marriage to Luofu is still talked about by people in Beijing. , this gossip heroine who was lucky to marry the general made many people very curious.

Mrs. Yao was also there, and when she saw Ah Meng, she called her over. Yao Qingqing stood dignifiedly beside Mrs. Yao. The concubine's daughter looks dignified and reserved.

Mrs. Yao called Ameng to her side, said a few words to her cordially, and then introduced Ameng to the noble ladies around her.Ah Meng also politely greeted them one by one with interest. Although she was young and tender-faced, because she was the wife of General Jingyuan, and Mrs. Yao treated her differently, everyone present dared not disagree with her. Look at her, so the ladies present were kind and warm to her.

Ah Meng also saw Mrs. Xing and her younger sister Luo Yusha, so she took her sister-in-law, who was a bit out of her mind, to meet Mrs. Xing and her step-sister.

Since it was a public occasion, Xing could only pretend to be enthusiastic, and smiled at Ah Meng: "It turns out that Sister Yin is here, did you come here alone today? This is General Yu's younger sister, right?" ?”

"Sister-in-law and I came here together, and this is my sister-in-law. Yuejuan, this is my mother and sister Yusha." Ah Meng replied, introducing her sister-in-law to her stepdaughter in a formulaic manner, and then thought of sister-in-law and her stepdaughter very embarrassingly. Younger sister Luo Yusha seems to fall in love with the most beautiful man in the capital...

This world is really too much.Looking at the expressions of the two little girls again, they didn't feel the same hatred because of the person they hated in common—A Meng—but because of A Meng's identity, they hated each other very much. The two little girls snorted in their hearts at the same time, and decided to Hate Ah Meng's sister/sister-in-law.

After the greetings were almost finished, Ah Meng followed Mrs. Yao to the table, and the maid served soup for them.The soup was milky white and smelled a faint fragrance. According to the maid's introduction, it was specially made by the chef of the palace. The woman drank it for beauty and beauty, and it was very good for the body.Hearing the maid's introduction with a smile, all the wives and ladies present decided to drink a bowl of soup to rest their stomachs.

At this moment, there was a sudden high-pitched sound from the other side of the pond, and someone faintly heard someone happily calling "Wen Zixiu" loudly. Some young girls present couldn't help looking at the other side curiously, and they saw Among a group of men dressed in brocade robes of various colors, there was a white figure of Yueyue. Anyone familiar with the situation knew that he would dare to dress like this on such a festive day, except for the young grand master at that time.

"Well……."

At this time, Yu Yuejuan suddenly let out a small groan, and Ah Meng turned her eyes from the side of the pool, and saw the little girl with a pale face, quietly covering her stomach with her hands, with a distressed look on her face.

"What's wrong?" As a sister-in-law, Ah Meng still cared about her sister-in-law.

Yu Yuejuan's face was a little embarrassed and annoyed, she pursed her lips, and finally had no choice but to say to Ah Meng: "Sister-in-law, I..." Then whispered a few words in Ah Meng's ear.

Ah Meng really wanted to cover her forehead and sigh, and she was full of embarrassment in her heart, which was too coincidental.

But no matter what, Ah Meng couldn't turn a blind eye. Fortunately, the banquet hadn't started yet, so no one paid much attention to it.Ah Meng summoned a maid from Su Wang's mansion, and said: "She is not feeling well now, I wonder if there is a place to rest in the mansion?"

The maid glanced at Yu Yuejuan, saw that her complexion was not right, quickly realized, and said respectfully: "Yes, please come with your servants."

Naturally, the palace has a place for the guests to rest. Ah Meng helped Yu Yuejuan to get up, and took their maids to the rattan-wrapped flower gate on the side. After passing a small path, and walking for a while, they saw a courtyard , and then under the guidance of the maid, entered a wing room.

At this time of day, and living in someone else's house, Yu Yuejuan, a young girl who has not left the cabinet, has a thin skin, and she is too embarrassed to explain her situation, so Ah Meng has to come forward.Ah Meng felt that she was Yu Yuejuan's old mother at this time, so she lost face and explained the situation to the maid of Su Wang's mansion cryptically, asking her to prepare some menstrual belts.

Su Wang's Mansion is indeed the place with the strictest rules in Beijing. The maids are all professional, and they should never ask too many questions. Ready to go.

When Yu Yuejuan fixed herself, her complexion was still very pale, and she sat there listlessly, without much energy.It seems that when her childhood came, she also suffered as much as some ordinary women, but Ah Meng, who looks delicate, does not look as weak and weak as Yu Yuejuan, except for some dull pain and belly slump. So this girl is actually an invisible and sturdy one.

"Can you still move? Or just rest here for a while, and after the banquet is over, I will tell your elder brother that we will pick you up again?" Ah Meng asked considerately.

Yu Yuejuan's expression was a bit gloomy, she didn't blow her hair at Ah Meng, but nodded her head in frustration.

In this way, after Ah Meng instructed the maid beside Yu Yuejuan to take good care of her master, she left with Zhixia.

Just after leaving the yard and turning around a corridor, she heard voices talking in the garden. Ah Meng didn't care at first, but when she heard someone calling the name "Chu Junxian" in a high-pitched voice, she suddenly remembered Isn't this Yao Qingqing's future husband-in-law?

Yao Qingqing asked Ah Meng to take advantage of the full moon banquet of the young son of Prince Su's mansion to help him see what the third son of Prince Jing's mansion looked like, but it was easier said than done. In the men's and women's seats, there is no chance for men and women to meet, even if they are seen from a distance, no one will say who knows which one is the third son of Prince Jing's mansion?It all depends on luck and arrangements. Although Yao Qingqing also has a few girlfriends, she dare not disclose such embarrassing things to anyone other than Ah Meng, so as not to spread any bad rumors. Ah Meng doesn't have any connections, so how could she arrange for Yao Qingqing to observe what her fiancé-in-law looks like?
But now that the opportunity is presented to him, it would be a pity not to take a look.

Ah Meng made a gesture with Zhixia, asking her to help watch the wind, looked around, no one was around, then went to a rockery not far away, stood behind the rockery and quietly poked her head out to look at the four men in the yard Look at their clothes, they are probably the princes of the capital family who came to attend the full moon banquet of the young prince of Su Wangfu today.But at this time, the expressions of these four people were very bad, and it seemed that there was a conflict, but this also allowed Ah Meng to quickly know who was Chu Junxian, the third son of Prince Jing's residence, during their conversation.

Among the four men present, one of them looked quite upright, but the man with a gloomy and pale face was now with a livid face, staring at the person opposite him, thinking of the man who called "Chu Junxian" in a high-pitched voice just now. That's him.

Ah Meng glanced at him, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, because this man gave people an impression of pomp and debauchery, especially the gloom between the man's brows ruined his Zhou Zheng's appearance, and it made people feel uncomfortable at a glance. Some people don't like it.

Ah Meng shifted her eyes to the person opposite the man. After knowing that this was the third son of Prince Jing's Mansion, she observed carefully. She looked like a good-looking person in the royal family, but her eyes looked a little gloomy, as if she had a bad personality. look.

Ah Meng decided to observe more before drawing conclusions, so as not to know how to tell Yao Qingqing.

"Chu Junxian, tell me something!" The man opposite Chu Junxian growled angrily.

"What do you want me to say?" Chu Junxian asked calmly.

"you……."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the two men next to them who were making soy sauce quickly started to act as peacemakers.

"Brother Lu, don't be angry, Jun Xian is not happy even if you think about it. After all, with the orders of his parents and the words of a matchmaker, how could Jun Xian, who is so filial, disobey Prince Jing's orders?"

"Yeah, that's the Yao family, the empress dowager's mother clan. Even if Jun Xian is not happy, he has to give the empress dowager face, right?"

Brother Lu didn't calm down because of the persuasion of the two, but instead widened his eyes and said angrily: "Even so, why didn't he report to King Jing early, believe that King Jing is enlightened, and won't abandon his will?" Don't care. Do you know how my sister shed tears after she found out about your marriage with Miss Yao? Don't you know that she has always admired you?"

"I don't know at all." Chu Junxian replied decisively.

"..."

Seeing Brother Lu's angry expression about to vomit blood again, the two peacemakers next to him quickly took the matter over.

"Hey, Jun Xian, why don't you know? You have met Miss Lu Er several times, don't you see that she is very gentle and amiable to you?"

"Yes, yes, Miss Lu is such an elegant and dignified girl. She doesn't even want face because of you. From time to time, she follows Brother Lu out of the house to play with us, just to see you."

Hearing those two people's words, Chu Junxian's melancholy eyes were obviously puzzled, and he said slowly: "Is there? I thought she was naturally hospitable like Brother Lu..."

Hearing this, the three men present nearly choked themselves to death with a mouthful of old blood clogging their hearts.

Can you be more dull? ! !The three men glared at someone with blood on their faces.

Even Ah Meng, who was behind the rockery, almost burst out laughing in her heart, suddenly felt that Chu Junxian seemed quite cute.

Probably the expressions of the three of them are too obvious, and no matter how dull they are, they will understand. Chu Junxian frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I didn't know Lingmei would have such thoughts...." Some embarrassment, but the expression began to ease, "However, my parents have already appointed the third lady of the Yao Mansion as my wife, please forgive me for being unable to bear Miss Lu's affection. But there are many good men in Beijing, like Brother Huang is good, you can pull the line between him and Lingmei. Brother Huang, don’t you think so?” Turning to one of the men in yellow shirts, a smile appeared on his face, softening the melancholy in his eyes.

"Ah, ah, this..." Brother Huang smiled awkwardly, but didn't answer.

Hearing Chu Junxian's words, Brother Lu became even more furious. He originally strongly urged Chu Junxian to marry his younger sister. As long as they get married with Prince Jing's mansion, their Lu family's position in Beijing will be more consolidated. It is more advantageous for the family to be in the court.However, he worked hard to pull the line between the two, who knew that Prince Jing's Mansion and Yao Mansion's sudden marriage would ruin his preparation, how could he not be angry?What's even more angry is that Chu Junxian is such a pig head, his sister has put down her face to please him, but she has not responded and said nothing, and now she is acting like she is good for his sister, which makes him even more angry.

Getting so angry, Brother Lu got up abruptly and said harshly: "Chu Junxian, can you be more stupid? You have failed my sister, and I, Lu Wenzu, will no longer recognize you as a friend from now on! Let's go!"

Said, walked away.

Seeing him leave, the two men looked at Chu Junxian, who was a little gloomy because of Brother Lu's words, and finally could only sigh, and left with Brother Lu.

After watching them all leave, Chu Junxian suddenly sneered, flicked his sleeves, stood up and left.

After all the people had left, Ah Meng thought about the identities of these people, and after thinking about them again, she knew their identities. She suddenly admired Chu Junxian's personality, at least he still seemed to have a bit of a head.

Seeing Chu Junxian and witnessing this play, Ah Meng felt that she could confess to Yao Qingqing. When she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly had a fight with a gorgeously dressed woman standing in front of the corridor not far away. face to face.

The two looked at each other without speaking to each other, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
