Rebirth side Fujin

Chapter 98 During the Banquet

The emperor brought the princes and grandsons to Shoukang Palace after giving the banquet in the front.This time the family banquet was organized by Concubine Tong herself, and Concubine Tong logically sat in the seat closest to the emperor except for the Queen Mother, watching the concubines coming and going.Concubine He Mi and others have just been promoted, and now is the time to be proud, and the makeup and clothes can be seen to be specially prepared.Concubine Liang's appearance surprised her a bit, it was really rare to see Concubine Liang with such gorgeous makeup, and those who didn't know the inside would really not know that Concubine Liang was already the mother of five children.

After all, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Concubine Liang is now promoted to concubine, her own son is reused by the emperor, and several grandchildren are smart and clever, which is really enviable.Concubine Tong Gui couldn't help feeling a little sad. She entered the palace at a young age and had served the emperor's cousin for more than ten years. She watched the elder brothers and princesses in the palace be born one after another, but she never saw any good news.Her elder sister, Empress Xiaoyi, also gave birth to a daughter who died young for her cousin, but she was going to be discussed behind the scenes by the concubines in the harem, saying that she was a noble concubine because of her dead elder sister.

"The palace hasn't been this lively for a long time." The Queen Mother was talking to Hu Tuli with a smile, "The Ai family saw the nets you sent, and they played very well. The Ai family has asked Yun Yun to hang them in the purse superior."

"It's good that the ancestor likes it." Hu Tuli said with a smile, "The ancestor hasn't seen my sister for a long time, Hu Tuli specially brought her here for the ancestor to meet." After saying that, he pushed Yierha to the side of the Queen Mother.

The emperor has many heirs, so there are many grandchildren.Except for a few such as Hongxi and Hutuli, the queen mother's understanding of the great-great-grandchildren was limited to knowing which family they belonged to, and she only had a vague impression of their appearance.Although Yierha would follow Wanning into the palace every year and festival, she was too shy and didn't know how to say flattering words in front of the queen mother, so the queen mother didn't have a deep impression of her.

"Greetings to the ancestors." Yierha twitched for a moment, then said obediently under Hu Tuli's urging eyes.

The queen mother wore a pair of diorama glasses on her nose, squinted her eyes and looked at Yierha carefully, and then said: "You are already a big girl, and this dress is very beautiful today. I heard from Hu Tuli that the old eighth will pick it up for you. His name is Ilha?"

"If you go back to your ancestors, that's right." Yierha seemed very uncomfortable with the attention of everyone, and his face quickly turned red.

"Queen Mother, Pingjun Wang Fujin has come to greet you." The Queen Mother is not good at finding topics, and Yierha is shy by nature and doesn't know how to continue chatting with the Queen Mother. Luckily, Nanny Yun replied back before the atmosphere became silent.

Hu Tuli took the opportunity to say: "The ancestor is busy here, Hu Tuli went back first, and will enter the palace to pay respects to the ancestor in a few days."

Concubine Tong also came out to smooth things over: "Pingjun Wang Fujin is a newlywed, and I have seen her several times as a concubine during the draft. I heard that she is both talented and beautiful. Why don't the Queen Mother call her over to talk to everyone."

Only then did the queen mother let Hu Tuli and Yierha go back, and called Pingjun Wang Fujin Cao Jia to her.

This Cao Jia family is none other than the eldest daughter of Jiang Ning weaving Cao Yin.Cao Yin was originally a Manchurian Zhengbai flag-coated man. He grew up with the emperor since he was a child, and won the emperor's respect.The eldest daughter and the second daughter have received the grace to take off their coats and raise the flag. Now the eldest daughter is married to Ping County King Naersu, and has become the concubine Fujin of the Iron Hat King. She just got married last month.

Cao Jia's arrival aroused everyone's curiosity, and Guerjia said: "I have long heard that Pingjun Wang Fujin is a talented woman. I have not seen her before, but I didn't expect that we will meet tonight."

"Isn't it? Although her ama hasn't raised the flag yet, she has won the trust of the emperor. Even Li Xu, the weaving company in Suzhou, was recommended by her ama." Tian Jiashi said, "I heard that there is another in their family. Er Gege, now she is in her boudoir, and the emperor has other arrangements for the draft three years later, so I don't know what kind of favor I will give at that time."

"No wonder when I go out these days, I always see a beautiful girl beside Pingjun Wang Fujin, she must be her younger sister." Wanning said, "That girl speaks well and doesn't seem petty at all. She is said to be brought up by a wealthy family It’s not too much to come out.”

"Isn't that right? I heard that the Cao family dispatched three big boats when they went to Beijing for the draft today. Besides the clothes and jewelry of the two girls, they also brought in furniture made of high-quality rosewood." Tian Jia said. , "Pingjun Wang Fujin also wore red makeup when he got married, which shows how rich his family is."

In addition to weaving in Jiangning, Cao Yin also patrolled the Lianghuai River and the Huaihe River to supervise the censor. Local officials and wealthy businessmen in various places in the south of the Yangtze River had to pay tribute.Cao Jia is married to the iron hat king again, how can the dowry be so thin?It's a pity that the Cao family gained power for a while, but they were short of millions of taels from the treasury.

Wanning took a sip of her wine, looked at Cao Jiashi who was chatting decently with the Queen Mother, and shook her head slightly.Although Cao Jiashi has a deep affection for Naersu, and has several children with him, but if she wants her to watch her natal family decline, and see Naersu dismissed because of something, she is lucky to survive.

Halfway through the banquet, Wanning felt a little overwhelmed. After entrusting the two children to Tian Jia and Guarjia, she left the banquet and changed her clothes at the back while sobering up, but she didn't want to see Nala just after changing her clothes Shi also came over with people.There were two blushes on her cheeks, it seemed that she was refreshed from drinking too much wine.The slightly drunken Nalashi seemed to have lost his cold look just now, and nodded when he saw Wanning, and then followed the little eunuch who led the way to the apse.

"Amber, help me to sit on the porch for a while."

"Master's clothes are a bit thin, just go out and sit for a quarter of an hour. After a long time, I am worried that you will catch a cold." Hu Po helped Wan Ning to the porch, and Yu Lan took out the handkerchief and put it on the railing before letting Wan Ning sit down, "After There is also strong tea prepared by the maids in the palace, slaves go and ask for a cup for the master."

"Alright." Wanning nodded, "Just let Yulan stay here and serve me."

Tonight's full moon is like a bright lantern. Looking up at the full moon, Wanning suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she would put Kongming lantern balloons at home every Mid-Autumn Festival to keep her house safe.It seems that since she married Yinhu, she hasn't done such a thing for a long time. Should she tell Yinhu that when the moon is full, she will try to light the Kongming lanterns with a few children?

"Master, Prince Zhi Fujin is here."

Yulan's voice brought back Wanning's drifting thoughts.Wanning came back to her senses, turned her head to look, and saw Nalashi, who was dressed in a pink and blue multicolored flower and grass pattern flag dress, slowly walking over.The heavy makeup on her face has been washed off, and the new makeup is more plain than before, which shows her youthful beauty at this age.

Nalashi didn't seem to notice that Wanning was also under this corridor, or maybe she saw it but didn't care, and sat down on the railings to the left and right of Wanning through a coiled dragon pillar.Yulan and the girl behind Nalashi looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to persuade her master to leave or to stay.

"Mo Lian, I'm thirsty, go and make me a cup of tea." Nalashi spoke first.

Wanning saw that Nalashi sent the servants away on purpose, and seemed to have something to say to her, so she said to Yulan, "Go and get my maid."

Yulan was a little worried. After all, Nalashi's Sima Zhao's heart was known to everyone. Although Nalashi has now married into the Prince Zhi's mansion as a side Fujin, who can say what her mentality is now?But seeing Wanning's firm eyes, Yulan hesitated for a while, looking back and forth between Wanning and Nalashi for a while, and finally left in response.

"The girl next to you is loyal, and she seems to think I'm going to do something to you." Nalashi straightened the tuanhua Longhua on her neck, "She looked at me for fear that I would eat you like that."

"Yulan is just being more cautious." Wanning flicked the gold-plated water ripple bracelet on her wrist, "It's good for those who serve you to be more stable."

"Isn't it?" I don't know if Wanning's words evoked some memories of Nalashi, she suddenly snorted, "I don't know who is really trustworthy until I get married, so I always support her." Those who envy you, the girls around you are capable and loyal, and Prince Lian cherishes you so much, how can it be like me..."

"Master!" Hu Po returned to Wanning with a teacup, skillfully blocking Nalashi's sight, "The hot tea is ready for master, please drink it quickly. It was just now that the people around Fujin, the king of Hengjun, came to send a message , Said that the little elder brother woke up and was crying to find the master."

Nalashi was obviously drunk, that's why he spoke recklessly in front of Wanning.Fortunately, Amber interrupted her in time, otherwise she said something that shouldn't be said, and made Wanning listen to something that shouldn't be heard, and there would inevitably be some entanglement in the future.Wanning took a sip of the strong tea, and the bitter taste of the tea suppressed all the smell of the wine. She glanced at Nalashi when she lowered her eyes, and saw that Nalashi seemed to be a little awake, and she also reacted, so she put down the teacup. Putting on the women's cloak sent by Yulan, nodded to Nalashi, and returned to the banquet with the two maids.

"It's been so long, I thought you were asleep." Guerjia said quickly after seeing Wanning come back, "Your brother woke up and is crying in the hall now, and the concubine Liang has already gone in to coax you." gone."

It turned out that this was not an excuse for Amber.Wanning chatted and laughed with Guarjia, then went to the palace to hold her youngest son.

"Where did you go just now?" Concubine Liang handed the child over to Wanning, "Ask Hu Tuli and she doesn't know."

"I changed clothes later to sober up." Wanning smiled apologetically, "Later, I met Prince Zhizhi, Fang Fujin, and chatted with her a few words."

"That Nalashi?" Concubine Liang frowned slightly, "Why did you go with her?"

"I just met later, just exchanged a few words of greeting." Seeing Concubine Liang's expression changed, Wanning said, "Is there any order for your empress?"

"It's better to have less contact with that girl, I heard she's not an Ansheng." Concubine Liang recalled what she heard at the banquet tonight, and said.

"The concubine knows, but because she is the Prince Zhifu Jin, she can't just turn around and leave." Wanning said, "I will pay attention to it in the future." In fact, she was also surprised that Nalashi married the Prince Zhi After two months, why did people inside and outside the palace say that she was a restless person?The news must have spread too fast.

With such doubts, after returning home, Wanning called Xiaohezi and asked him to go outside to find out.
