Chapter 28 Grandstanding
Meng Yanhe and Chu Lingyue smiled at each other, then shook their heads in unison.However, on the second day, the wives and young ladies of the families still gathered on the Taihu Tower.When Chu Lingyue arrived, there were already a lot of people sitting on the second floor of the Taihu Building. Chu Lingyue walked up the stairs slowly, and first saluted Zhen Nanhou's wife, who was also a military marquis, before facing the other wives Shallow blessing a gift.

The wives didn't even dare to say it, and gave Chu Lingyue a seat by the window, but at the same time chose to ignore Lu Mingmei who was following behind Chu Lingyue.On such an occasion, it is absolutely impossible for an aunt to come out, but it is not a problem for a concubine to go out after a concubine.Chu Lingyue only thought that there was an extra servant girl behind her, and neither introduced her nor let her sit down. Ever since she went upstairs, she only talked to Ji Huiyu and Dong Yuran.

"Why don't you see Meng Yanhe? Didn't you agree to watch the triumphant return of the Eastern Expeditionary Army today?" Dong Yuran looked anxiously at the cars downstairs. The army was about to enter the city, and Meng Yanhe hadn't Come on, doesn't she want to embroider a handkerchief on the spot and give it to the general?
"Is there something to delay, Ling Yue, come and eat oranges. It's not easy to have oranges this season, and I have to rely on the blessing of Miss Dong." Ji Huiyu handed an orange to Chu Lingyue, and the orange peel had been peeled off , Even the white net on the orange petals was picked off cleanly.Chu Lingyue took the orange but didn't eat it by herself, and handed half of it to Dong Yuran.

"Naturally, this tangerine was sent by my father from Lingnan Kuaima, just to give you a taste today."

Seeing the orange eaten by Dong Yuran, Ji Huiyu felt a little lost, then smiled again, picked up another orange and peeled it carefully.Lu Mingmei watched Ji Huiyu's slender and white fingers fluttering over the orange peel, peeled off the orange flesh in a short while, and then patiently and carefully picked off the white net, and couldn't help but get angry.

Seeing that another orange was about to be handed to Chu Lingyue, she stepped forward and cut off the orange before it was handed to Chu Lingyue, "Young Master Ji is really patient, and he does such a meticulous job so well."

Being cut off by Lu Mingmei, Ji Huiyu was stunned for a moment, then a little dissatisfied, he wanted to say something but looked at Chu Lingyue's side face but didn't say anything.Seeing Lu Mingmei approaching, the topic of the three of them instantly turned to the might of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

"Hey, you don't know, my elder brother's Eastern Expedition is really extremely majestic. I heard that it took a month of hard fighting with the army of the Donglai Kingdom on the East China Sea before killing all of them!"

Dong Yan, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, is the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhennan. He is brave and good at fighting at the age of [-], but he also has the common faults of the Dong family, so he has nothing to do with his younger sister, Dong Yuran.

"When the eldest brother comes back, I will let him perform a naval battle for you!"

The glory in Dong Yuran's eyes could not be concealed, so he leaned out and saw that there was still no sign of the Eastern Expedition Army on the central Zhuque Street. After stomping his foot, he angrily grabbed the little girl who came to serve tea Er asked, "Why hasn't my brother come yet?"

Xiao Er hastily saluted, and then took the tea away from Dong Yuran so as not to burn this one, "Miss Hui, the general will have to rectify the three armies outside the city before he can enter the city, and it will take about a stick of incense."

After listening, Dong Yuran was still a little anxious, Chu Lingyue pulled her, and said with a smile, "Look at you, I'm afraid others don't know that the general is your brother."

After being reminded by Chu Lingyue, Dong Yuran realized that there were outsiders there, and watched the wives smiling as she slipped into Madam Zhennanhou's arms as soon as she covered her shy veil.Everyone laughed loudly, and repeatedly joked that Dong Yuran really had the style of the Dong family, straightforward, innocent and cute.

Sitting under Madam Zhennan Hou, Chu Lingyue watched Dong Yuran make a face at her and turned her head to ignore her, and said a few more words, and saw the banner of the Eastern Expedition Army from a distance.

"It can be regarded as coming, Ji Huiyu, you have to hold her with me later, or she will jump out of the window, I wonder if the general can catch his younger sister." Chu Lingyue also felt a little bit when his family was successful. Xie looked at Dong Yuran desperately looking out and quickly grabbed her to make a joke.

Ji Huiyu waved his hands quickly, but spoke in a rigid manner, "Well, I'm not very good at whether men and women can kiss each other."

"Hahahaha", there was another burst of laughter in the box, and when the laughter died down, Lu Mingmei suddenly spoke.After snatching Ji Huiyu's oranges, everyone ignored her intentionally or unintentionally. Be eager to try.

"Among the army of the Eastern Expedition are all good men of our dynasty. When Mingmei was at home, he often heard his father mention how these soldiers threw their heads and blood to protect our territory. Mingmei admired him very much. Today, he finally saw his true face. gone."

As he said that, Lu Mingmei even beckoned for the maid to hold a piano and put it on the table, "In order to show Mingmei's admiration, Mingmei is willing to play together to dedicate to these heroes."

"Hey!" Dong Yuran wanted to laugh, but was pulled by Chu Lingyue, so she didn't say anything.Seeing that there was no objection in the room, Lu Mingmei also sat down gracefully, twitched her fingers lightly, and ran out with a jingle of "General Order".

The room fell silent for a moment, only the guqin in Lu Mingmei's hand made a vague and solemn melody.Lu Mingmei's ten fingers fluttered and performed the song "Order of the General" to the extreme, as if the general was berating Fang Qiu in his tent and sweeping away thousands of troops.

After the song ended, the room was quiet for a long time, Lu Mingmei looked at the wives in the room with some satisfaction.

"Sure enough, I have good piano skills. I didn't expect Miss Lu to have such accomplishments in guqin." The person who spoke was Mrs. Xu, the wife of a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. There is also research on the classics. After listening to Lu Mingmei's song "General Order", I was a little amazed, "You, a little girl, can play to such a level, you are really talented."

Lu Mingmei was a little proud of being praised by Mrs. Xu, but thanked him modestly, "Mingmei is clumsy, ladies and gentlemen, don't think that Mingmei's piano sound will stain your ears."

Seeing her so well-behaved, the wives smiled and praised her for taking her with them while speaking.After getting what she wanted, Lu Mingmei looked provocatively at Chu Lingyue by the window, only to see that she was in a daze.

Someone played "General's Order" for her back then, but that person finally married another woman and gave her to death.Chu Lingyue was really not happy when this song appeared at this time.

Second prince, it was your scheme from the very beginning. From the very beginning, you schemed against everyone, me, and Weiyuanhoufu.

In the previous life, when the army from the Eastern Expedition returned to the court, it was someone else who played the "General's Order" on the Taihu Tower.On the same day, Chu Lingyue, Ji Huiyu and Dong Yuran greeted the Eastern Expeditionary Army on the Taihu Tower, and the second prince sent musicians over to play the song "Order of the General".After turning a corner, after she was reborn, for some reason, the second prince didn't send a musician over, but Lu Mingmei played the role instead.

The flag rolled over the window on the second floor of the Taihu Building, Chu Lingyue came back to his senses, and looked at Dong Yan who was riding a horse with a complacent look.Seeing the banner of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the people in the room stopped talking instantly, stood up smiling and walked towards the window.Lu Mingmei took the opportunity to get closer, and as a result, several powerful mistresses silently distanced themselves from her, whether it was accidental or a coincidence.

"Tch, I really thought I was favored." Dong Yuran sneered and whispered in Chu Lingyue's ear, "Lu Mingmei inherited her mother's stupidity, why didn't I inherit my mother's intelligence?"

"She wanted to die by herself, so no one else is to blame. Who is present here today is not a lady of everyone, this kind of thing that can be done in a hurry to get the limelight is really shameful." Ji Huiyu was also smart for a rare time, looking at the girl with Lu Mingmei, who was huddled together, couldn't help laughing, "This guy actually thinks he is proud of having the blue eyes of the ladies, but he doesn't know that the mistresses want to avoid it."

Dong Yuran sneered, but Chu Lingyue remained expressionless, all eyes were occupied by the bright yellow under the palace.

When the army from the Eastern Expedition came back, the emperor led the prince and all the civil and military officials to greet him, and the second prince Li Chujun stood beside the emperor.

When did the Taihu Tower get so close to the palace wall!
"Let's go down too, Yuran is about to jump out." Mrs. Zhennanhou held Dong Yuran with her left hand, and Chu Lingyue with her right hand, and walked out first.After seeing the guard of honor in the Taihu Tower, the married woman and all the ladies will also go to the gate of the palace.

No one else is in the way, the mother and sister must not be absent.But Chu Lingyue was simply pulled over by Mrs. Zhennan Hou.

"Don't think I'm too busy, but I just don't want you to lose your status with that concubine." Hearing Madam Zhennanhou's words, Chu Lingyue understood.It's just that Mrs. Zhennan Hou will be disappointed. Sure enough, as soon as their car started, Lu Mingmei's blue carriage followed behind them.

Looking at the carriage in the back, Mrs. Zhennan Hou was a little unhappy, and Dong Yuran was even more unhappy, "Why is this man so brazen! Next time my brother goes to war, I must suggest him to use Lu Mingmei's face as a shield! I think Donglai Kingdom Can your arrows still pass through!"

Donglai Kingdom is a sea nation, and it is best at archery and naval battles. Dong Yan’s Eastern Expedition really went through hardships and dangers. I heard that the arrows shot by Donglai Kingdom’s bow can pierce three shields.

"It's a good idea, and this thing is inexhaustible, if you cut off a piece, it can grow again!"

Chu Lingyue almost thought that the person sitting next to them was not the wife of Zhennanhou's mansion, but a spy sent by the enemy country. The always rigid wife of Zhennanhou could say this!
