342 Chapter 3: Introducing Bricks and Attracting Jade ([-])
What Lu Mingzhu hates the most now is when people mention her marriage. She has a very weird temper now, and she doesn't even buy into the account of Princess Fuhui and Mrs. Lu, let alone the second concubine?Hearing this, she immediately lowered her face and wanted to sneer back.

A servant girl came in and bowed her knees and said, "Go back to the princess, the eldest princess is here."

Hearing that Lu Mingfeng was coming, Xiao Xu couldn't care less for a while, and said with a smile: "Everyone sit down, I'll excuse you for a while." She was surrounded to welcome Lu Mingfeng, but she didn't want to go to greet Lu Mingfeng in person Come on, but Lu Mingfeng is the elder sister-in-law after all, so how can she not go if she doesn't want to go to greet her personally?
The rest of Grandma Lu led her sisters to chat with people she knew well. After the chat was over, everyone sat down to drink tea. When everyone was not paying attention, Lu Mingfu quietly said to Lu Mingxuan: "The second prince The concubine has always been good, why is she becoming a little aggressive now?"

Lu Mingxuan whispered: "From one moment to another, now that she has a different identity, her style of dealing with people will naturally undergo a corresponding change, and it's not aggressive at all. Besides, you have only dated and spoken to her a few times. , you can tell whether she is a real person or a fake? Well, let’s not say that there are some and nothing, just pay attention to the walls and ears.”

When Lu Mingfu heard the words, she stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say any more. It happened that Lu Mingfeng and Xiao Xu walked into the water pavilion surrounded by people. The great prince and concubine are blessed and safe."

Lu Mingfeng was wearing an alizarin red dress with a hundred birds and a phoenix, presumably in order not to steal the limelight from Xiao Xu, who is today's birthday star, she didn't wear a bright red dress, and only wore a red phoenix chaoyang gold silk bead inlaid with rubies on her head. Shaking, but standing with Xiao Xu, the calm demeanor is so hard that the well-dressed Xiao Xu is shallow.

Xiao Xu herself couldn't see the gap between her and Lu Mingfeng, but others could see it at a glance, and she couldn't help shaking her head inwardly, not to mention that the eldest prince had the title of eldest son anyway, no better than the second prince who didn't have the title There is also no emperor's favor. Based on the difference in the quality of the two princes and concubines, if the emperor really wants to choose one of the two princes as the heir, there is absolutely no reason to choose the second prince. What is the comparison with the first princess?
Lu Mingfeng smiled and raised her hand: "Everyone get up." He sat on the upper couch hand in hand with Xiao Xu, and a beautiful woman who had been following her hurriedly stood behind her.

It was only then that the people, especially the people from Dingguo's mansion, noticed that she had brought someone with them. Because they were in a hurry, they glanced at the beautiful woman, and saw that she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was wearing right-cut silk with persimmon stem pattern on a silver and red background. Underneath is a willow-green twelve-fold plum, orchid, and bamboo three-gentleman's skirt, her jet-black hair is combed into a ponytail, she wears a jade flower headband, and she wears a phoenix hairpin with pearls in it, and opals inlaid on her ears. The twisted silk lantern pendant is very charming and beautiful, and she has a solid heart. The person who can be brought by Lu Mingfeng on such an occasion treats her so respectfully. Presumably this woman is the eldest prince's side concubine. .

Sure enough, Lu Mingfeng smiled and said to Xiao Xu: "Why don't you see the third sister? She is a bit inferior in terms of status, but after all, she is also the side concubine bestowed by the emperor, and she has the imperial order to wear the imperial jade certificate." , on such a day, the second younger sibling should bring her by your side to help you greet the guests and share your worries and labors with you as much as possible. The side concubine came to kiss her, who knows she is not here, what a pity."

This made Mrs. Xu clenched her fists again. No one in the royal family knew that the eldest prince would not enter the concubine's door at all. Most of the time in January would be spent in the eldest princess's room, making love with the eldest prince and concubine. deep?She, Lu Mingfeng, is naturally not afraid of uplifting the concubine Wang, anyway, she is uplifted to the sky, as long as the eldest prince doesn't enter her door, she can't be mad, no more than herself, the second prince already dotes on Lu Mingya, if she doesn't suppress Lu Mingya is a bit more, isn't it true that the latter is going to go crazy, and doesn't even pay attention to himself as a concubine?
But no matter how much Xiao Xu hated Lu Mingya, today's day is really not good for suppressing her to prevent her from appearing, not to mention that Lu Mingfeng brought up this matter as soon as they met, Xiao Xu couldn't help scolding Lu Mingfeng half to death in her heart , even if you keep men in your own room every day, so what, it's not that you can't even lay an egg so far, wait until I get pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, let's see how arrogant you are.

The smile on Xiao Xu's face remained unchanged, and she said: "The side concubine Lu has always been clever, and she is quite liked by our Highness and I. Wouldn't it be too disappointing if she was missing on an occasion like today? She is helping me right now. Taking care of some trivial matters in the mansion, I think it should be finished soon, Qiu Kui, look at Concubine Lu, she is done, if she is done, please come here soon, the eldest sister-in-law is still waiting Talk to her about sisterhood." At the end, he still couldn't hold back from stabbing Lu Mingfeng, saying that the dignified prince and concubine have a deep relationship with a sister who is a concubine, it really makes people laugh.

When the maid named Qiukui heard about it, she hurriedly knelt and said "yes", and stepped back to invite Lu Mingya to go.

Only then did Lu Mingfeng smile and talk to Grandma Lu and the others below.

Lu Mingya arrived soon, wearing a peach-red gown with golden makeup and flowers, and a light green horse-face gown with twelve embroidered orchids. Her complexion looked a little bad, but in terms of appearance, she was still better than the second prince and concubine. Xiao Xu's family is much more beautiful, so it's no wonder that many people in the capital know that the Duke of Dingguo no longer regards her as their own daughter, but the second prince still loves her so much.

"I've seen the prince and concubine, the prince and concubine are blessed and safe." Lu Mingya treated Xiao Xu's attitude very respectfully, but Xiao Xu treated her indifferently, nodded, and said: "You worked hard today, and I will definitely do it afterward." Back to Your Highness, I will reward you." She didn't say anything more, but told the personal maid beside her: "It's getting late, all distinguished guests, please take your seats!"

The personal servant girl agreed, and led a group of servant girls to respectfully invite all the guests present to sit down in front of the long table. With a wink from Mrs. Xu, a servant announced the opening of the table loudly, and then served delicious food, served with silk The maids who covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs began to serve the dishes one by one, and everyone present thanked the banquet, and they all offered a glass of wine to Xiao Xu, and then to Lu Mingfeng, before they started again. Once seated, the banquet officially began.

After a while of wine, three rounds of food and five tastes, Xiao Xu smiled and said: "It's boring for everyone to sit like this and just drink and eat food. It's too noisy to invite the theater troupe, so I specially prepared general female music, so I passed it on. How about they come to sing and dance for everyone, how about we all have fun?" She said clapping her hands.

There are more than a dozen singers and dancers filing into the water pavilion, dancing with the sound of silk and bamboo.

Everyone looked at it, Lu Mingxuan was not interested in these songs and dances, and her stomach was half full at that time, Fang put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and began to observe today's guests without any trace.
