The little lady in the palace

Chapter 169 Tai Chi
In early September, Princess Duanrou's wedding became the most important event in the capital.

Because there were too many guests, the banquet had to be divided into two places. The unimportant guests were placed in Princess Duanrou's mansion, while the important clan officials were placed in the son-in-law's mansion for ceremonies.

Before Princess Duanrou "married out", many ceremonies were carried out in the palace.Therefore, on this day, it seemed that every part of the capital was full of great joy, and people seemed to have the illusion that the wedding procession had traveled all over the city... In fact, most of the people were just listening to the rumors and just joining in the fun.

In the son-in-law's mansion, the banquet for the male guests is set in the front house.Meng Junhuai was sitting with a few friends who had been friends with him, and when he accidentally glanced at a table not far away, he saw You Zexu and Xie Sheng sitting together drinking, and then called an eunuch to give him some orders. I went to the back house.

Meng Junhuai couldn't help laughing, and after drinking for three rounds, he went to find them with the jug and cup.He patted Xie Sheng on the shoulder, and the two who were talking turned their heads at the same time, and hurriedly got up to salute: "Your Highness."

"Sit." Meng Junhuai said that he also sat on the empty seat next to him, looked at them, and said helplessly, "If this is a banquet in our palace, it doesn't matter if you take care of Jing Xizhen. But this is Princess Duanrou's place, That's not appropriate."

Both of them blushed immediately, and they said "yes" at the same time.

Meng Junhuai said again: "Besides, the concubine is also behind, she will take care of them, you can rest assured."

In the back house, Yuyin specially found the married Xizhen and Hejing to have the same banquet.So she sat on both sides of her with Jing Mingjing, and Lan Jing and Xi Zhen sat beside her, chatting happily with Jing Mingjing.While talking, the eunuch sent earlier came to him, and they stopped talking, and then he stepped forward and carefully told He Jing and Xi Zhen not to drink too much, and asked if they need to prepare drinking soup?Does the food suit your taste?If they don't agree, they will ask someone to tell the family in advance to prepare some of what they want to eat, Yunyun...

This order is too detailed.So after the eunuch left, Yuyin looked at the two of them curiously: "You... who is happy?"

"What...!" Xi Zhen blushed, "No, it's just that the two of them were just worried that we would be tired at this kind of banquet. He Jing said that his cousin also told her a lot along the way. Well... Actually, what's the point? We won't be like them here, just keep drinking when we have a good chat."

She complained kindly, and there was no trace of resentment on her face.While talking, she made a vinegar ball for Ming Jing, Ming Jing ate it obediently and said to Yu Yin: "I'm full! I want to go and play with my brother!"

Her brothers were all at the banquet in the front house, which made her unable to sit still from the beginning.So Yuyin told her that she had to eat a good meal before going to play with her brothers, and she was sitting in the "suffering" until now.

Yuyin knew that she was eating well, so she didn't intend to keep holding her tight.Turning around, she called Shan Hu to lead her to the front, but Lan Jing took the initiative and said, "I'll take her there!"

Of course Yuyin was happy to see their sisters getting along well, and told Mingjing not to make too much noise around her brothers, and told Lan Jing to have fun, and the two sisters left hand in hand.

According to the rules, men and women are different, and separate banquets for men and women cannot be messed up.But children are left alone. For girls, the dividing line lies in the ceremony.

So the two sisters didn't forget Xi Yao who was 15 years old but hadn't bowed yet. When passing by her, Ming Jing ran over to her and asked her if she wanted to be together?Xi Yao's complexion was not good, she patted Ming Jing's head: "Sister, don't go, you have fun."

Next to Xi Yao's mother, Xu Shi, also kindly let Lan Jing Mingjing go by herself. After they left, Xu Shi pinched her daughter's side cheek with a smirk: "Are you really angry with your father?"

"He just wanted to be angry with me!" Xi Yao folded her arms with a cold face, and shouted in her heart that Dad was the worst!

He told her that there were officials from Jinyiwei accompanying him, as if she could see if there was someone she liked.In the end, she saw that this was not the case at all. The adults who came with her were all in their [-]s and [-]s, and they all had families!

Her father just tried to make her give up on picking a husband and son-in-law from Jinyiwei!He also made an innocent face and said, "They are at this age, I didn't tell you to think elsewhere?", I hate it!

Xi Yao was bored for a long time but still couldn't get angry, and after a while she said: "I'll go back to Qingyuan tomorrow."

"Tch." Mrs. Xu smiled and didn't try to persuade her, but said helplessly, "You father and daughter are really enemies. Don't be angry, mother will take you to sleep tonight, we will ignore your father."

what……?
Xi Yao couldn't help smiling when she remembered the last time her mother helped her challenge her father, and her father who was rejected was too regretful.

However, she still won't compromise on the matter of getting married!She just doesn't like those playboys who are content with having fun, and she, Xie Xiyao, just wants to find a capable husband for herself!

In the front yard, as soon as Lan Jing and Ming Jing arrived, they attracted the attention of many guests.

In fact, Lan Jing is fine, but Ming Jing, a little girl who is just six or seven years old, is so cute when she is played with by her brothers!
The four elder brothers all doted on her. After Mingjing dragged the third and fourth brothers around, she asked the second elder brother to tell her anecdotes from the banquet just before. Afterwards, when she was tired of playing, she went to the elder brother, and Ah Li hugged her. A bowl of meatball soup was served to her on her lap, and she ate it by herself before scooping up a meatball to "reward" the person who was using it as a meat pad for him.

"Haha, Ming Jing is the best." Ah Li smiled while eating, looked up and took a red bean paste bun and stuffed it into her hand, and said to her, "Just eat it, the soup is easy to get salty."

These brothers and sisters get along really well, don't they...?
The eldest son of Prince Shen's mansion next to him looked at the two of them, and at Azuo Ayou who was pulling Lan Jing to throw pots not far away, feeling jealous in his heart!
When Ming Jing finished biting the bean paste bun and grabbed another piece to feed Ah Li, Prince Shen couldn't help but say sourly: "You treat my sister very well?"

"Otherwise?" Ah Li smiled, his gaze still focused entirely on Ming Jing, "She is the youngest in our family."

"But she was born to your aunt and concubine." Prince Shen said.

Although he is the son of the eldest son, he is actually born of a concubine. The reason is that the younger brother born to his aunt and concubine died before he could grow up.The concubine's mother and concubine were injured during the childbirth and could not reproduce again, so the position of the eldest son fell to him.

Did he know how displeased the concubine's mother looked at him, although it wasn't enough to see him as a thorn in the side, but it was possible to make him feel uncomfortable every few days.Even the younger sister who brought the main courtyard didn't like to see him since he was sensible, so that now he feels...these people in Prince Yi's mansion next to him didn't understand something?
Ali frowned slightly.

He knew more or less what was going on in Prince Shen's mansion, and it was not surprising that the prince said such things now, but Ah Li was not too happy for him to say such things in front of Ming Jing.

"Our aunt and concubine are fine." He replied coldly, with a hint of warning in his words.

Prince Shen's son shook his head, just as he was about to argue again, Ah Li picked up Ming Jing and left, simply ignoring him.

"Slightly slightly slightly!" Ming Jing, who heard that he was speaking ill of his mother and concubine just now, was still lying on his elder brother's shoulder and sticking out his tongue in protest, making Prince Shen's eyes stare with anger.

"My good intentions are not rewarded!" Prince Shen helplessly poured himself a glass of wine. As soon as the glass was put down, an uninvited glass came over: "Don't get angry with them."

Prince Shen's son looked up, hey, the eldest son of Uncle Ten's family.

He wanted to hide when he saw this one.Uncle Ten was deprived of his title when the first emperor died. His son had no title and was not welcomed by his clan members. He was able to come to Princess Duanrou's wedding banquet entirely because of his superiors' kindness. bit for a drink.

So Prince Shen folded his arms and deliberately ignored the glass of wine he touched, but the other party didn't care, and sat down as if he didn't feel that he was unwelcome: "Do you think he will really be like you? So difficult? At least he will be a prince in the future."

Prince Shen's son chuckled, and said how could it be possible, all the sons in the family's mansion were established, and it was Meng Shizuo who was the third son.

The cousin next to him smiled and looked at Ah Li who was playing with Ming Jing not far away: "Yes, Ah Zuo inherited the sixth uncle's seat, so Ah Li can only be the prince."

"You mean..." Prince Shen's son was so startled that his tongue was tied up, he stared at him for a long time and swallowed his saliva, "Are you serious?"

"Hey, believe it or not." The other party also picked up Joe, took the wine glass and left, letting him think for himself.

In an unremarkable small courtyard in the northernmost part of the consort's mansion, the furnishings are exquisite. The concubine, who was supposed to be one of today's protagonists, was waiting outside the courtyard, watching several eunuchs non-stop entering the courtyard to report, and he couldn't count them all. How many times have I reported it.

On the Luohan bed in the room, the eldest son of the emperor played chess with Princess Duanrou, as if he had listened to all the eunuchs' words, but he never said a word.

Until this wave of seven or eight people also retreated, the eldest son of the emperor raised his head and glanced at his sister: "Aren't you asking your son-in-law to come in and talk?"

Princess Duanrou glanced at him: "You didn't intend to let him in, but you asked me hypocritically?"

The eldest son of the emperor laughed and made no comment.As soon as the black piece in his hand landed, Princess Duanrou frowned and threw the white piece back into the chess box: "We've lost, let's stop playing!"

"Haha." The eldest son of the emperor smiled more intensely, and coughed again with a smile.He took a sip of tea, and Princess Duanrou who was sitting across from him asked him: "Brother, you just let the eunuch report about the banquet, so you can see why?"

"It's a little bit to see." He said.

Princess Duanrou pressed her chin and asked: "Then what do you see now?"

"Sixth Uncle went to Qingyuan to avoid trouble, and his family is really harmonious. Tenth Uncle is not honest in guarding the imperial tomb. I should ask for an order to send his son there too." The eldest son of the emperor said leisurely, Princess Duanrou curled her lips: "That's all?"

The eldest son of the emperor frowned, looked at her and said: "And You Zexu and his wife are very affectionate."

"You..." Princess Duanrou stared, and picked up the book as if to hit him.The eldest son of the emperor hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I was wrong."

Princess Duanrou ground her teeth and put down the book, her words sounded a little offended with lingering anger: "Then are you going to show up today?"

"Lu, why not?" The smile of the eldest son of the emperor turned cold, "Didn't the uncles all expect me to die soon? Why don't you let them see that there is no big difference between me and three or two years ago?" ?”

In this regard, he felt that he was really lucky.

Although his body didn't get better, it didn't get worse either - of course, behind this, the Tai Hospital spent a lot of money every month to give him medicine to suppress the poison in his body.He often felt that it would be better for the money to be spent on the people, but he also knew that it would be beneficial to the court that he could die later.

"Are you really planning to let Uncle Six succeed?" Princess Duanrou asked again, "Uncle Six is ​​obviously not happy, and it's only a matter of raising the bar in Qianqing Palace."

The eldest son of the emperor pondered for a while, and finally said: "Let's talk about it."

The situation in the past two years made him occasionally think that maybe he could still succeed to the throne.But the problem is, even if he succeeds, he doesn't have any children?
From this point of view, the sixth uncle is much more suitable than him. The sixth uncle has four sons and three daughters, and they get along well and unite as one, so there is no need to worry about the trouble of not having children.

"If you continue to recuperate, maybe you can..." Princess Duanrou said this, her face turned red as soon as she looked at her elder brother, and her voice was low and vague, "What can you do..."

The eldest son of the emperor blushed uncomfortably for a while, coughed lightly, stood up and went out: "Big girl, if you want to talk about this, you ask your son-in-law to come in and talk. I'll go out and show my face."

As he said that, he went out without much detour, and went to the nearest banquet with the female guests to meet people first.The wives saw the ceremony together, Meng Shijin thought about it for a while, and still deliberately said a few more words to Prince Yi and Princess Yi.

"Aunt Liu is well." He approached and bowed.Yu Yin, who knew the meaning of the superior and agreed with Meng Junhuai's thoughts, avoided such "care".

But she had to smile back to him: "Your Highness looks much better recently."

"Yes, in order to see Yujing get married, I have to take care of myself." Meng Shijin said while thinking that it would not be a problem to allow Uncle Six to hide from others like this, and then said with a smile, "I wonder if Uncle Six is ​​busy recently? He is free, I want to go to Qingyuan to chat with him after the banquet, and ask about the progress of Jin Yiwei."

"..." Yu Yin closed her eyes, wondering what his intentions were.In an instant, she had the feeling that they were smiling and doing Tai Chi with each other.

So she reacted quickly and responded quickly: "Your sixth uncle recently...hasn't taken much care of Jin Yiwei's affairs, and my elder brother is taking care of it. If His Highness wants to ask, it's more convenient to ask him directly."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give the eldest son a chance to push back the conversation, she turned her head and said: "Xi Yao, take your highness down to find your father, your highness wants to hear about Jin Yiwei."

At that moment, Xi Yao's face froze: Am I angry with my father?
The eldest son of the emperor raised his eyebrows: Sixth Aunt, you are very cunning...

Yu Yin smiled slightly: "Please, Your Highness."

Zhao Chengrui, who was waiting by the side: Is the atmosphere a little weird?Did you know that the prince would run away?
