All the Gold and Jade: Princess Consort

Chapter 23: The four-person team resolutely resisted the three princesses [Then wait for Concubine Zhou and Yongyan to arrive, let’s start the banquet later. 】

The three-foot-high palace wall separates darkness and light, like two worlds.

Today's imperial palace is extremely lively. After all, the emperor wants to make up for the palace banquet of the Lantern Festival. The palace ladies and eunuchs are busy with their work, and they dare not slack off at all.

In the Chongguang Hall, except for the golden dragon chair and the top two seats closest to the dragon chair, the other seats are full of ministers and wives in fine clothes, because the emperor has not arrived yet, so Everyone is relatively casual, and courtiers who are familiar with each other rarely get together, chatting with each other about important affairs in the court, and the wives are naturally not idle, you praise me for the beauty of the Zhuchai, I praise you for the beauty of the jade pendant, in a few words He became a boudoir close friend who talked about everything.

Just now, the emperor's four jewels, Yongshun, Yong'an, Yonghua, and Yongtang, four princesses, came together with the support of their concubines. Standing in the hall and staring at the crowd, he welcomed the worship of the ministers and his wife.

Song Nanqi's arms were going to be stiff. After helping the fifth princess Yongtang to the soft collapse, he shook his arms as if he was about to receive an amnesty, but Yongtang stared at him, and his movement of shaking his arms froze instantly.

Yongtang pouted his red cherry mouth on that delicate face, and was about to get angry: "What? Are you troubled by helping me, princess!"

"No! How could that be?!" Song Nanqi hurriedly denied it. During the period, he glanced at the gazes cast by the other princesses and son-in-law. They all looked optimistic about the show, and complained in a hurry, thinking: You bastards He was also bullied by the tigress at home, but now he sees the jokes of the young master instead!

Yongtang noticed the joke-like expressions of the other princesses and became even more angry, and said angrily: "How dare you say that there is no, it is clear that there is!"

Song Nanqi hurriedly opened the teacup on the table, and said with a smile, "Princess, do you want to drink? Let me see what tea is today?" He sniffed it, handed it to Yongtang respectfully, and said with a flattering smile, "Ah It’s the cloud and mist in Lingnan, princess, come and taste it.”

Yongtang didn't like to get angry in front of everyone, after all, she closed the door to make troubles with Song Nanqi at home, and now it's not too much to put on the table, so she took the teacup and took a few sips. Let it go.

Seeing that they couldn't see a good show, the other princesses all reluctantly drank the tea handed over by their concubines. The fourth princess Yonghua suddenly seemed to remember something and said: "Now besides the father, there is Zhou Guifei. Besides, everyone else seems to be here."

The second princess Yong'an sang with her: "Fourth imperial sister, have you misread it? It's not only father and concubine Zhou who are late, but also our third princess Yongyan who is most loved by father... Four Royal sister, you actually forgot, you really should punish yourself with three cups."

The fourth princess was startled and echoed: "Oh yes, I actually forgot to count Miss Sanhuang, look at my memory, I will punish myself when the wine is on the table."

"Fourth, you are dying before you are old." The second princess smiled at her, looked at the eldest princess who had been silent all this time, and said, "Eldest sister, we are not saying that the third emperor is wrong, but, every time She was the last one to arrive at the next palace banquet, and asking us to wait is really more pompous than the emperor's father, don't you think, Elder Sister?"

The eldest princess sneered and said: "Some people just like to rely on their father's favor to be invincible. Fifth sister, what do you think?"

The fifth princess, Yongtang, was still full of anger, and instantly turned her anger on Yongyan: "She is the only one among us who likes to make exceptions, making us feel like we are waiting for her, which is too much..."

"The Emperor is here!"

Before Yongtang finished speaking, all the officials knelt down with the eunuch's loud shout, and the four princesses who were fighting with each other just now immediately smiled sweetly with their mouths bent, and saluted the man who came striding forward Said: "My son, please see my father."

"Everyone loves you to be flattened", the emperor was naturally happy when he saw his princesses, and the serious Emperor Sejong smiled lovingly: "You guys should also be flattened."

"Thank you, father." The princesses responded in unison.

After wandering around a few of them, Sejong wondered, "Why don't you see Yongyan and the third son-in-law?"

The princess took a step forward and replied: "My father, the third sister always comes late every time, I hope my father will be sympathetic."

Sejong nodded: "Of course I understand that Yongyan travels never put on a show for people to clear the way, for fear of disturbing the people, she should be late."

The Eldest Princess was unwilling, but she could only smile and said, "Thank you, Father, for your compassion for the Third Sister."

Shizong ordered the eunuch beside him: "Then wait for Concubine Zhou and Yongyan to arrive, and let's start the banquet later."

"The slave obeys the order."

When the emperor sat on the dragon chair, the princesses dared to speak freely, but still whispered.

"It's really unreasonable, father wants us to wait for her alone." The fourth princess blushed angrily.

The second princess immediately agreed: "Tch, what's so great, who made people disappear for five years, and there is a bastard!"

The eldest princess scolded in a cold voice: "Shut up all of you, don't be presumptuous in front of the father!"

Song Nanqi felt a little headache when he heard their back and forth. After all, being late could make the four sisters make a big fuss, especially their own tigress, who was in the same boat as the other three princesses, which was sad and lamentable.

He whispered "Amitabha Buddha" for Xu Heng and Yong Yan, but Yong Tang with sharp ears listened to him.

Yong Tang glared at him: "What are you talking about?"

"Uh...princess, I...," he faltered, and finally remembered: "princess, my stomach hurts, I want to give birth."

"You!" Yongtang raised her hand when she heard the words and was about to hit her, but under the eyes of everyone, she could only withdraw her hand and cursed angrily: "What a disgrace, get out of here."

"Thank you princess!"

Song Nanqi hurriedly made a bow. He clutched his stomach and turned around to leave the Chongguang Hall from the side door. He dared to straighten up after he got out of the main hall. He picked up a dry branch and beat the stone blocks on both sides with the branch as he walked. Like those women who don't obey women's morals, they feel better.

"Every woman is like a tigress, we married you, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes!" Song Nanqi muttered and walked forward, thinking that he could delay for a while, anyway, he didn't want to go back and listen Those women spoke ill of the third princess.

At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the five-color glazed cups were lit in the palace, so it was not so dark. Before I knew it, even the guards guarding the two sides were gone.

Song Nanqi was startled, and muttered: "Isn't it, I lost my way after just a while? Forget it, let's go back."

As soon as he turned around, he could vaguely see two figures in the four-corner pavilion in the east. The two figures were pulling each other. One of them was wearing a skirt, and it looked like a court lady, while the other, It's men's clothing.

He hurriedly ducked down, hid behind a big tree and put his head out, trying to get a better look, but when he looked up again, the people in the pavilion had disappeared.

"What's the matter? Where's the person?" He quickly stood up, trying to see clearly.

Suddenly, a court lady suddenly appeared behind him, shouted "Oops", she threw herself into his arms, waited until she threw herself into his arms, and then shouted: "Help me, you are indecent!"

"Hey, shut up!" Song Nanqi was confused by the battle, and instinctively wanted to cover her mouth.

At this moment, an angry woman's voice sounded: "Presumptuous! Is there any rule for the fifth son-in-law to flirt with the maids of this palace in broad daylight?!"

Song Nanqi saw the person coming, but still couldn't get rid of the woman hanging on his body, he was shocked and said: "I am wronged, I don't have it!"

……

When Xu Heng hurried over, he saw such an embarrassing scene.
