Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 211 The Peach Blossom Banquet in Beijing

The peach blossom feast was held on the third day of May, when the peach blossoms were nearly withered, and most of them were scattered in the mud.The palace is no exception.

Although the flowers are just an excuse, no one will care about them, and the ladies from aristocratic families who come to the banquet are also ulterior motives.But the queen changed her position and set the banquet at the Jokhang Temple.

The Jokhang Temple is high above sea level. Although some peach blossoms are spread on the ground, most of them are still hanging on the branches.

This time, Qiao Zhi also came to the Peach Blossom Banquet. After all, there were only two girls in the Qiao family, and it was impossible for Qiao Shu to go, so she had to come to make up the numbers.

When Qiao Zhi arrived, he looked around for Jiang Sheng, and when he saw Jiang Sheng, he flew over with a smile and lifted the corner of his skirt.But the swaying of her steps in the bun was only slightly swaying.

After sitting next to Jiang Sheng, Qiao Zhi said in a low voice: "Didn't the concubine just conceive...the empress just..."

I can't wait to choose a side concubine for the prince.

Watching her husband take a concubine, not only must she be generous to show that she doesn't mind at all, but she must also personally visit the concubine's room with her mother-in-law for her husband.

How miserable.

"My mother said that a pregnant woman should not be angry, it is not good for the child in her womb."

Not far away, Wen Hui and the queen were sitting together, surrounded by a few women dressed as concubines.

Wen Hui held up a porcelain cup and drooped her saliva.She was thin, with a wide skirt, and a slightly protruding belly could only be seen when you looked closely.

Jiang Sheng made a silent gesture.

She didn't know that Wen Huisheng wasn't angry that the prince took a concubine, probably he wouldn't.But if the queen heard what they said, the queen must be very angry.

Once the queen gets angry, the consequences are very serious.

Qiao Zhi also realized where she was now, and smiled: "I just asked casually."

The two of them didn't whisper any more.

The girls from the aristocratic family have all arrived, and the queen sat with them in the pavilion for a while, had some snacks, then stood up with a smile on her face and said, "I originally wanted to enjoy this flower scene with you, but now It seems that people are more charming than flowers."

She tilted her head and said to the concubines next to her, "If I can see these young girls every day, it will really make me feel happy."

All those who heard the words stood up and blessed themselves: "The courtiers and daughters thank you for your praise."

"This is not in the palace, so there is no need to be formal." The queen made a gesture of support, and they stood up again.

Then I heard the Queen say: "The peach blossoms in Jokhang Temple are really good. There is a peach blossom forest in front that blooms more beautifully than here. If you have nothing to do, why don't you come with me to have a look?"

The woman next to her in gouache palace attire immediately echoed: "I want to go and have a look too, but it's already May now, if I don't enjoy the flowers, I'm going to die."

The queen nodded: "If you take the scenery into your eyes, you can't live up to the flowers."

After hearing these words, all the girls are guessing what the queen is talking about and what the purpose is... After all, you can't just go to see flowers, right?
But no matter how you think about it, since the queen said so, even if they have no intention of becoming the prince's side concubine, they should give some face and follow along.

The queen asked Wen Hui with a smile: "Are you together? They are all sisters who are about your age."

"Don't sit still all the time, especially if you are pregnant, you should move around more."

Wen Hui smiled and said: "The empress mother is right, since the empress mother has said so, how can there be any reason why the concubine should not?"

As she spoke, she propped her right hand on her waist and stood up slowly.

The two maidservants around him hurriedly protected Wen Hui: "Prince Princess, be careful."

Seeing this, Wen Shen, who was originally sitting with the ladies, hurriedly stood up. She went over to hold Wen Hui's arm, kindly and caringly: "Sister, let me help you."

The queen praised: "Your sister is very caring."

Wen Hui did not reject Wen Shen's extended hand, and incidentally echoed the queen: "Yes, although the second younger sister is a concubine, she was raised by her mother since she was a child, and she has a deep relationship with the concubine."

Wen Shen's smile froze a little.

If you praise her, you can praise her. Why do you have to put the word "妈" on purpose? !
She knew that because she didn't crawl out of Mrs. Wen's stomach, even though she grew up with Wen Hui, she never regarded herself as a younger sister in Wen Hui's heart!
Wen Shen's expression cracked for less than a second, and he immediately smiled innocently: "It's a younger sister's duty to take care of her older sister."

Wen Hui nodded: "Knowing that I am usually bored, my second sister specially came to the Prince's Mansion to accompany me. Especially since I am pregnant, she even comes to Yuxiu Residence to chat with me every day to relieve my boredom."

The queen knew about this matter, and there was nothing in the Prince's Mansion that she could hide from her, but she didn't think deeply about it.Even if she knew, she would probably maintain an indifferent and conniving attitude.

But ladies don't know that.

For a while, they had different thoughts, but their good self-cultivation prevented them from showing it on their faces.

Wen Shen almost gritted his teeth, for a moment he couldn't tell whether Wen Hui was trying to beat her or just said something carelessly.

On her face, she still held Wen Hui's arm affectionately, with a look of sisterly love.

This incident was just a small episode. After a few words, a group of people went to the peach forest that the queen said.

The flowers in the peach grove are indeed blooming beautifully. It's not that a certain flower is beautiful, but the color is extremely romantic when you look at it from the outside, and it also has a faint and elegant sweet fragrance.

Everyone stepped in, and a lady covered her lips with a smile and said, "There are two peach trees planted in the minister's mansion. They are peaches. Now the flowers have withered early, and only the green leaves are left. I didn't expect the flowers here to bloom so brightly."

The queen nodded kindly: "This year the Jokhang Temple gets hotter and the flowers fall later."

As he was walking, suddenly a few tall figures approached from the end of the peach forest, and gradually became clear from far to near.

The first person is wearing ordinary clothes, the cuffs and the purple robe are embroidered with four-clawed pythons, and he has a gentle smile.

Even people who have never met Xiao Huairen can vaguely guess his identity at this moment.

Regardless of whether they thought that Xiao Huairen would come in person, the noble ladies were a little excited, but suppressed the excitement in their hearts, with a reserved face, and saluted: "The courtiers pay homage to His Royal Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

Xiao Huairen raised his hand: "Please get up quickly, there is no need to be formal."

The queen also looked very surprised: "Ren'er, why are you here?"

"The sons and ministers refer to the mother/the ministers refer to the empress."

After the same ceremony, Xiao Huairen said with a smile: "I heard that the peach blossoms in Jokhang Temple are blooming beautifully. No, my son and some friends will come over to have a look."

This is of course false.

Xiao Huairen's appearance here was originally discussed by the queen and him, and the rest of the people also knew it.

It was another act of pretense, and after going through the motions, Xiao Huairen's eyes fell on Wen Shen who was vaguely visible, and then went to hold Wen Hui's hand: "Are you tired from walking?"

Wen Hui supported her back slightly with her right hand, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "A little bit indeed."

Xiao Huairen whispered a few words to Wen Hui again, both of them had smiles on their faces, but there was not much affection in their eyes.

Wen Shen, who was following Wen Hui, heard Xiao Huairen's voice approaching close at hand, and occasionally had brief contact with his eyes, his heart was pounding, with a kind of secret pride and excitement.
