The cute master who always attacks the queen

Chapter 17
With all these people gone, the congratulations officially began.

Called by the eunuchs, led by Shang Yi, the wives entered the hall to pay respects according to their status.

Xie Ci originally wanted to meet Gao Shi, but today the Eldest Princess specifically mentioned her, so she naturally cared more.

The first three to come in were the wives of Sanfu of the cabinet.The one in the middle is naturally the wife of the emperor's grandfather, and the wife on the left is the grand master's wife. Both of them are old ladies in their 60s and [-]s, with a calm and humble posture.On the right is a man in his early thirties, tall and tall, with his eyes downcast, but his neck is straight.I think it's Gao Shi.

She thinks completely differently from Yu Ci, her appearance is not superficial and arrogant, on the contrary, she has the withdrawn and unyielding temperament of a cold beauty.Moreover, she was unexpectedly beautiful and young, but Yu Ci couldn't imagine her holding the hand of the old matriarch of Yu Ci's grandfather's family and talking.

But with a mother like this, Miss Gao's appearance is not much different, and she is a good match for Shou Wang.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a hale and hearty old lady walking in tremblingly outside. She looked around when she entered the room. Azhu reminded her to lower her head softly, but she smiled and took Azhu's hand and said, "Daughter, You are so handsome. How old are you this year, have you married someone?"

Her voice wasn't too loud, but the guard of honor in the hall was so solemn that everyone wanted to hold their breath, so her voice was particularly abrupt.

Yu Ci tilted her head, and Ling Yin reminded softly: "It's Jiang Shuren, the mother of the Minister of War."

Miu Ci almost laughed—when she was reading history books, she always felt that Ah Lian's ability to change the subject at any time regardless of the occasion was too heaven-defying, and she didn't expect the origin to be here.Then he laughed and said: "Mrs. Tai, Ah Zhu is seventeen this year, and she hasn't allowed anyone yet. It's not easy to talk in this room. Let's chat later when we have a drink, okay?"

The old lady didn't expect that there was someone sitting on it, so she took a step back in fright, and said: "It turns out that the empress is up there! Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I won't say anything."

Everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing.

Ahzhu led her to meet Yuci, brushed past Gao Shi, Gao Shi frowned, pulled back her skirt and turned sideways to avoid her, as if treating her as something dirty.Yuci could see clearly from above that Mrs. Jiang Tai specially picked nail polish and rubbed it on her watery silk phoenix and peony xiapei on her return trip, and returned to her seat, laughing contentedly.

Yu Ci almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

If only the grievances and grievances in the world could be resolved so easily.Xie Ci liked this old lady very much.

For a while, the wives gathered in the palace, and they all knelt down to congratulate, and the elders were given a seat by the concubine, and they said some polite words as usual.She doesn't need to get close to these people, it's a feast after she finishes talking.As usual, the palace servants led them to Cuixia Pavilion, and she went back to the inner hall to change her clothes and make up again.

Yuci changed the Xiapei and Fengguan, lightened the load a little, and went to Cuixia Pavilion.

Concubine Ci's ceremonies are complicated, and a formal trip takes a lot of effort, so when she arrived, everything was ready for the banquet in Cuixia Pavilion.She was seated in the hall, and the banquet began.

Cuixia Pavilion is originally brighter than other places, and when it is sunny, the room is even more sunny.In the middle of a hall, the ring is emerald and bright, the colorful clothes are better than the clouds, and the dark fragrance is floating.

The husbands or sons of these people are all superior people, so most of them know how to be dignified and self-restraint, and they know how much they say and how wrong they are, so they all keep silent and smile without showing their teeth.There were a hundred or ten people in the hall, no one pushed the cups and changed the cups, and there was almost no sound from the chopsticks and plates.Only the music played on both sides echoed clearly.

In this atmosphere, even Mrs. Jiang Tai of Cheng Youlian's family chewed the chicken drumsticks alone.

Yu Ci really wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but it was a pity that she held a cup, and a group of people below toasted at the same time, congratulating Yu Ci on her thousand years old.Most of them are from the generation of mothers and grandmas, and after being kneeled down by them, half of their lives will be cut first, so they finally dare not move.One person can only sit on the mat and pick up beans with chopsticks.

Fortunately, singing and dancing added to the fun, and with alcohol anesthesia, people's vigilance was easily lifted. The acting was so good that these officials and wives who knew each other finally started talking and laughing in a low voice.

Azhu was serving Mrs. Jiang Tai, she knew that both Ci and Ayu liked Cheng Lian, seeing Mrs. Jiang Tai looked bored, she smiled and poured wine for her, and said, "What else would Mrs. Tai want to eat?"

Mrs. Tai's eyes lit up, she tugged on Ah Zhu's sleeves, and said, "I think these ladies and wives eat as if they were feeding sparrows. What if they can't eat...they all fall down?"

Azhu smiled and said: "The leftovers will be disposed of by the straight palace supervisor. I really don't know what to do. Maybe...feed the pigs?"

Mrs. Jiang Tai frowned, clicked her tongue, and said, "It's a crime." But she stopped asking.

Ah Zhu knew that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm joking, where did the pigs come from the palace? Our concubines don't eat freshly made ones..." Of course they only ate leftovers and their own leftovers.

Mrs. Jiang Tai's eyes lit up again, "Your concubines are good, all the officials and wives I met gave leftovers to the girls... But, I don't think you can eat so many leftovers, so let me take some back. "

Azhu couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help feeling good about Cheng Lian—in her impression, any good official must be poor, and any poor official would at least not be a bad official.

A Zhu poured her a glass of wine with a smile, and said, "You Ci won't reward people with leftovers... If you feel bad, I'll pick some and take you away secretly later, don't tell outsiders."

Mrs. Jiang Tai patted Ah Zhu on the back and said, "She is such an open-minded and good girl. Would you like me to tell you how close we are..."

A Zhu shook her head with a smile, and said: "Our marriage is not up to us, Madam Tai doesn't have to worry about it... Speaking of which, why didn't you see the servant's wife?"

Mrs. Jiang Tai sighed and shook her head, said: "He died, he died before returning to Beijing. That baby is unlucky."

Among the four maidservants of Yuci, Aping was the most considerate and considerate, so today Yuci arranged for her to serve in the front hall.

Mrs. Gao, his grandfather's wife, and Zhou Tianci's wife were seated side by side.Gao was clearly in a bad mood and didn't care much about others.The other two are people who are a generation older than her, even though they live together, they don't like to talk to her, they just talk and laugh.

Yuci had previously felt that there are so many Mrs. Shaobo of Gao Rong's family, and she definitely wouldn't have any emotions because she couldn't live together. Today, after listening to the words of the eldest princess, she finally figured it out--I am afraid that the old lady is unwilling to protect her matchmaker. Maybe she also said something to tease her, which made her vent her anger on Yu Ci—of course, it is more likely that it is just a fictitious plot in the novel.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Mrs. Gao pushing to Aping, holding up her skirt and standing up, glaring at her.Since entering the palace, no one has dared to shake face in front of Yu Ci, but Yu Ci didn't react for a while.

A Ping fell to the ground covering his face, silent.

Instead, Ayu hurried forward to help her, and called for someone to help her down.

Although Xie Ci was a little slow to react, she actually saw that it was Gao who deliberately asked A Ping to fetch hot water to boil the wine, and when she got it, she stretched out her foot and tripped her.

Yu Ci just felt that it was unreasonable, and the fire burned in her heart.Seeing her grandmother winking at her, she suppressed it and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Rong?"

Rong's face was covered with frost, and he said: "Meeting a girl who doesn't know the importance, I don't know what is not pleasing to the concubine, so I splashed hot water on the concubine's skirt. It is really hot, and the concubine has lost her manners. Please forgive my sin .”

Yu Ci first thought that she might not have done it on purpose, but hearing her nonsense at this moment, she was even more furious.On the face, he said flatly: "The girl in the palace bumped into Madam, I will accompany her first. It's just that she tripped over something, and it was an unintentional mistake. Today is a happy day, and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly. , Madam please don't blame her."

After finishing speaking, he got off the throne, walked up to Mrs. Gao, held up the jade pot, and said, "I respect Madam."

Although Yu Ci is about the age of Gao's daughter, she has a luxurious temperament, dignified and upright, and cannot be ignored.

Gao stood there in a daze, sweating out of nowhere, and the eunuch reminded him, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't dare..."

For a moment the hall was silent.

Yu Ci placed the jade cup in the center of the case, and when the jade pot tilted, it rose and fell, and the sound of the wine falling into the cup was first murky and then clear.After she finished pouring a cup, she ordered the maid beside her to fetch two more cups, poured them in the same way, and placed them neatly in front of Gao.

"The first cup, now the world is peaceful, and Kyushu is peaceful. Although you and I are women, we can also pray for the common people, and may the peace last forever. Madam, let me drink this cup."

Surprised and uncertain, Gao leaned over and kowtowed three times, saying: "It's even lucky." He drank the wine in his glass.

Seeing her finish drinking, Yuci said again: "Gao Taibao is the chief assistant. He is conscientious and diligent in assisting the government. He is a pillar of the court. Madam, as the wife of the chief assistant, should respect her husband, be harmonious with everyone, and set an example for a married woman. Madam, please do your best." This cup."

Gao Shi paused, kowtowed and said: "It's appropriate to encourage yourself."

Yu Ci picked up the third cup and said: "This palace is not wise, and I live in the middle palace. I want the monarch and his ministers to reconcile, and the guests and hosts have a good time. But I can't teach the inner chamber, so that the ruler offends my wife. I punish my wife with a cup to thank my wife." .”

After finishing speaking, he drank it all, turned back and returned to his seat, and said: "Come here, Mrs. Furong enters the inner room, and the imperial physician Xuan will make a careful diagnosis and treatment. I will personally intervene."

Gao Shi had been on guard for a long time, so it was only the water splash on the skirt, not like A Ping's that half of his face was burned red all at once.Xie Ci knew it in her heart, so she deliberately procrastinated.

As soon as she said that she would intervene in person, Gao panicked at first, then recovered her haughty appearance, and followed Lingyin into the inner room - Yuci knew that she insisted that she was burned, and no one dared to question it.She didn't want to expose her, but just wanted to mention her, if people don't want to know, unless they do nothing.

Mrs. Jiang Tai watched carefully from below, and when the banquet resumed, she pulled Azhu and said, "Your kindness has offended the villain."

Ah Zhu frowned...Of course she knew that Yu Ci was acting up, but she also knew that she would have dealt with it more directly and rudely—from her perspective, the pot of water would not have spilled on Ah Zhu in the first place. On the flat face, Mrs. Gao deliberately pushed her face.

Unexpectedly, this person lives so cleanly, but handles things so dirty.

"The dignified Prime Minister's wife, you actually want to embarrass a little court lady..." Azhu was disdainful.

Mrs. Jiang Tai shook her head while holding her wine glass, "Is that the young maid who robbed her of her son-in-law? Tsk tsk, it looks like she can't bear children. These people, if they can't live a good life and take care of their health, why are they fighting?"
