Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 121 Drama (2)

   Meng Yunluo made a big mess and was shameless.

  The First Prince also sat in this seat, quietly looking at everything in his eyes. At this time, he smiled and played the round: "Although the palace banquet is lively, some rules must be followed. Even if you want to toast, you have to wait for the mother's signal, or the princesses take the lead. It is inconvenient to be a daughter-in-law."

   She, a serious eldest princess, has not made such a splash, let alone a few who have never been through the door.

  Lu Mingyu smiled at the eldest prince concubine: "The first prince concubine said yes. We still understand this rule. It was just a casual joke."

   Zhao Yu answered the question with a smile: "Yeah, how can you be so reckless to toast. If it spreads out, isn't it going to be laughed at."

Meng Yunluo was ridiculed and ridiculed by the two of them, but she was still angry, but she said without a smile: "Speaking of which, no one is as good as Sister Zhao. As soon as the Empress Dowager came, she opened her mouth and asked Sister Zhao to come to her side. Even the First Prince and Concubine of the eldest prince and concubine of this kind of scenery can't help but say. Neither!"

   With such an obvious provocation, the eldest imperial concubine was not fooled, and smiled lightly: "Sister Zhao is lively and clever, and it is inevitable that the imperial grandmother prefers a little bit."

   Of course, no matter how stable the face is, the heart is also a little unhappy.

   Isn't it?

   Don't say that Zhao Yu hasn't been there yet, since she is married to a heavenly family, she has to respect her elder sister-in-law a bit. The eccentric Queen Zhao, regardless of her eldest granddaughter-in-law's dignity, called Zhao Yu when she opened her mouth.

   Zhao Yu couldn't understand the meaning of what the eldest princess said, and laughed proudly.

  Lu Mingyu gave Zhao Yu a pitying look.

Silly girl.

   Don't look at the elegance and softness of the eldest princess, in fact, her heart is not too big. Nine times out of ten, I have this in my mind.

  …

  After the palace banquet, everyone moved to the flower hall to watch the play.

  There are some singers and dancers in the palace, and it is very convenient to enjoy singing and dancing. Empress Dowager Zhao is old and loves watching dramas. There is also a small opera troupe in the palace.

   Empress Dowager Zhao first ordered Shiro to visit his mother who loved to listen. Then he said to Queen Qiao: "Queen, you also come to a play."

   Queen Qiao said with a smile: "Today there are so many people, it's not interesting to just listen to literary dramas, so my daughter-in-law ordered a martial arts drama."

   There are fights in martial arts dramas, which are lively and cheerful. Young girls love to watch martial arts.

   Concubine Meng's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "The Empress specially ordered a martial arts show today to let the little girls watch it lively. The concubine first thanked the Empress on behalf of Jing'an."

   paused, then smiled again: "When you mention martial arts, people think of Fourth Miss Lu. That day, Fourth Miss Lu showed her hand at the palace banquet, which shocked everyone! Su Zhaorong, do you think so?"

The words    not only humiliated Su Zhaorong, but also responded to Queen Qiao.

  Su Zhaorong looked at Concubine Meng Gui who was full of arrogance, and she was both annoyed and hated, and she gritted her teeth.

Queen Qiao swept her gaze and said lightly: "Meng Guifei really has a good memory. Speaking of which, this palace also has a fresh memory. Miss Lu Si is worthy of being a tiger girl, and she has the style of King Xingyang. General, she has not learned martial arts since she was a child, and she has learned the cooking skills of female red. She is virtuous and virtuous, which is commendable."

   To expose the old bottom who will not.

   Today's illustrious emperor's confidant, General Liang, used to be Li Yuan's personal soldier, and the wife he married was a servant of the Li family. At that time, it was also a gift from the master that a personal soldier could marry the first-class maid of the Li family.

  Liang has learned cooking and female celebrity from his mother since he was a child.

   No wonder.

  The daughter of the maid, who doesn't learn to serve others, can't she learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Liang's biological mother also had the idea of ​​letting her daughter enter the Li family's house to serve her.

   When Emperor Yongjia sat on the dragon chair, General Liang became the general of the Imperial Guard, and the former servant girl of the Li family also became a first-class official. Liang was just ten years old at the time. Naturally, she won't be a maid again.

  The family changed the family, and Liang started to study. However, in the end, he started late, and he can bluff people on weekdays. Compared with ordinary officials and ladies, it is far worse.

   Concubine Meng Gui looked down on the Liang family, mostly because of this.

  My father is a mud-legged guard, and my mother is a slave of the Li family. The Liang family, who was born in this class, happened to be his own daughter-in-law. Concubine Meng was very embarrassed when she thought about it.

   Sure enough, when Queen Qiao mentioned this, the smile on Concubine Meng's face faded by three points.

  Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't bear to listen to their rivalry and bickering: "Okay, on a good day, don't say a few words. Ai's family still wants to listen to the play!"

   Then, ordered the play.

  The big drama under the stage came to an end temporarily, and the drama on the stage kicked off.

  …

  Lu Mingyu doesn't like watching literary dramas very much, so he drank tea and ate preserved fruit to pass the time.

   When the martial arts show kicked off, Lu Mingyu got some interest.

   Zhao Yu, who was sitting beside him, laughed and joked: "Look at you, I almost fell asleep listening to the literary opera. When I arrived at the martial arts show, I suddenly became energetic. I am not afraid of people laughing at you."

  Lu Mingyu replied with a smile: "My father is a military general, so is your father, and the Meng family is also the military general's residence. If you want to laugh, you will laugh at the three of us, not just me."

   Meng Yunluo finally seized the opportunity and stabbed Zhao Yu once: "Although Puyang Marquis is a military general, he has not led many troops into battle. No wonder Zhao Yu doesn't like watching martial arts."

  The Marquis of Puyang easily won the title with the favor of Empress Dowager Zhao and the protection of Emperor Yongjia. It's like the Meng family, who is awarded a marquis by actual military exploits.

  Zhao Yu glared with apricot eyes: "Meng Yunluo! What do you mean by saying this? My father is also a military general of the Great Wei, and he has made several military exploits for the Great Wei. Why do you look down on my father!"

  Meng Yunluo gained the upper hand and smiled slowly: "Just joking, if you don't like listening to it, I won't talk about it. You are so impatient, it seems that I have touched the pain point!"

   Then, he covered his mouth and smiled.

   Zhao Yu was so angry that her pretty face turned red, but she couldn't say anything tough.

   After all, she herself knew very well how her father's title came. Without the Empress Dowager Zhao, the Zhao family would never be where it is today.

  Lu Mingyu glanced at the complacent Meng Yunluo, and said lightly: "In this world, it is a good thing to have ability, and it is also ability to have someone to rely on."

   "I envy such a person, and I won't say some rude words out of envy in my heart."

  Have the ability, your Meng family also has an empress dowager.

   No matter how favored Concubine Meng is, she is not her first wife, but a concubine.

   Meng Yunluo's cheeks were flushed from the stab, and the sparks in her eyes were about to come out.

   The eldest princess looked at this and that, and sighed inwardly.

  The three sisters-in-law who have never been in the family are better than the other in terms of family background, appearance and talent. In terms of temper, it is even more difficult to provoke. Even before I became a concubine, the arguing never ceased. I don't know what will happen next.

   However, this is also a good thing for her.

   Without the three of them, how could she show the gentleness and kindness of her elder sister-in-law.
