Chapter 1196 (1/2)
After a while, Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao were led in by a mother in charge.
Today, Mrs. Qiao wore a bean green eight ball Ruyi flower brocade bun. Her body was straight, and her slightly raised chin showed a trace of arrogance. She was followed by a beautiful looking young woman in her twenties. She wore a carved stick with indigo blue flowers and silver threads. On her Dan bun, she wore a big red gold hairpin inlaid with emerald. It was very precious, but she looked timid and followed her step by step.
After seeing each other, Nangong Yue invited Mrs. Qiao to sit down, while Mrs. Zhou stood behind her.
The maids offered tea. Madame Qiao stared at Nangong Yue without expression for a moment. Some of them put on airs and asked, ”princess, have you received a letter from AI recently? How about Huiling city?”
Since Qiao Ruolan was sent to Shuyao women's Hospital, Mrs. Qiao has been in a bad mood. She can almost be sure that nangongyue is playing a trick behind her back. She wants to rush to Bixiao hall to ask questions several times, but in the end she is patient because -
Qiao Shenyu!
Qiao Shenyu is still far away in Huiling City, right under Xiao Yi's eyes. If the imperial concubine is not happy to write a letter to complain, and Xiao Yi's unruly demon king tries to embarrass his son, what can he do?
Therefore, she can only constantly tell herself, to be patient, to be patient So, I have been patient till now.
Qiao Shenyu has been to Huiling city for a long time. She hasn't even sent back a letter from home. She can't help but go to Bixiao hall to ask Nangong Yue. She simply takes advantage of today's early arrival and asks everything she should ask.
Nangong Yue saw the intention of Madame Qiao at a glance, and said with a smile: ”the battle in Huiling city is over. Please don't worry about it.”
Mrs. Qiao managed to squeeze out a smile and said, ”Yi is on the war. I should write more letters and ask about it. Especially today is the prince's birthday. As a son, he can't be happy. He must also be very worried about him. His son and concubine might as well write a letter to him to tell him what's going on today. By the way, I'd like to ask a Yi that my family's yu'er is OK recently. After all, yu'er is the son's cousin, so he is more reliable than others. If he has any errands for yu'er, he must be able to do it properly. But that's not the reason, princess
Nangong Yue just nodded with a smile: ”what my aunt said is.”
Seeing that she didn't get into the oil and salt, Mrs. Qiao frowned and gave her daughter-in-law a dark look. She was blamed for her lack of eyesight and didn't know how to help her.
Zhou noticed his mother-in-law's unhappiness and said in a slow voice: ”the son of a family...”
”Aunt.” Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup, gently put the tea cap on the tea foam and said, ”the eldest son once said,” if you are good at using talents, you can live in it. ”My niece and daughter-in-law have heard that cousin Yu has a good command of culture and martial arts. If such a capable person is able, he will know how to use it. His aunt should not worry about it and wait for him to make contributions and glorify his ancestors.”
Mrs. Qiao couldn't help choking. If she continued to persuade Nangong Yue to write to Xiao Yi, she would admit that her son was useless. To put it another way, even if she admitted that her son was useless, Nangong Yue could block her up with a sentence of ”the one who can live in it” to stop her from saying anything.
Nangong Yue is really a good talker. No wonder his younger brother has been coaxed away from him recently!
But now I can't take her at all!
Mrs. Qiao pinched her handkerchief and stood up. She glared at the Zhou family behind her and scolded, ”useless things!”
Knowing that he was angry, Zhou didn't refute it. He just lowered his head.
Nangong Yue said with a solemn smile: ”it's still early. Please go to the open hall behind and sit down first.”
Mrs. Qiao shook her sleeve and left without looking back.
As the auspicious time approached, the palace became more and more lively.
The porter and the housekeeper were busy. The first one to arrive is the other house of the Xiao family, then the in laws, and the gaomen mansion in southern Xinjiang
The men were ushered into the front yard, while the women were taken to the backyard.
There are many small banquets in Bixiao hall before, but they can't be compared with this one. Even if the wives of each mansion just exchanged a few simple greetings, Nangong Yue said that his mouth was dry and he didn't know how many times the tea had been added.
Fortunately, Wei side imperial concubine and Xiao Fei help to greet, everything is very orderly.
The women who had been ordered to take their daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were welcomed to the open hall. Occasionally, a few concubines came, and they were led to the West Wing of the hall for tea.
There is a clear distinction between the main room and the concubine room.
When Mrs. Fang Santai arrived, she was no exception.
In Guipu hall and nangongyue, after they met the ceremony, Mrs. Fang Santai led them to the direction of the open hall by a mother in charge.
Aunt Niu, with her face full of impatience, told the mother to take her to clean the room.
Their carriages had been waiting outside the palace for nearly half an hour.
Although she did not formally go to the banquet in the palace, she would not be so slighted and waited for so long no matter where she went to the banquet in Baixi city before!The steward's mother answered respectfully and found two servant girls to lead aunt Niu to the clean room When Aunt Niu came back, she was led to the wing room by two servant girls.
Aunt Niu looked at it and found it strange.
”I've met aunt Niu.”
A woman in a parrot green silk jacket came up with a smile.
Seeing the arrival of new guests, three or four women in the room all looked over. These aunts were either the main room of the mansion who had not been accepted by the master after she passed away, or the main room was seriously ill, so she had to accompany the girls to the banquet.
They looked at Aunt Niu's eyes with a trace of examination, and said: I don't know which mansion's aunt is dressed so luxurious that her jewelry and clothes are all exquisite! Was that master spoiling his wife, or did his aunt become a family after his wife died?
When Aunt Niu saw the woman, her face was as heavy as water. She could be sure that something was wrong.
Isn't this woman Qiu's aunt? It seems to be the biological mother of four girls Xiao Rongying.
Aunt Niu was choked in her chest with a breath. Her face was blue and white, and the color was changing wonderfully.
How unreasonable, Zhennan Wangfu should be so indifferent to themselves, let a trivial concubine room to entertain themselves.
So needless to say
Aunt Niu looked around the women who were sitting in the wing room, her eyebrows frowned. She saw that these people could not get on the table. She was a concubine from another mansion!
Aunt Niu didn't want to stay here for a long time. She turned angrily and said, ”where is my wife and my daughter-in-law? Will you take me there? ”
A word in the wing room a burst of uproar, stunned.
What did an aunt say ”my daughter-in-law”?! I don't think much of my wife!
How arrogant should she be in her own mansion if she dares to display que CI in front of outsiders?! Since the lady in her house is still there, that is to say, the master spoiled my wife and destroyed her?!
For a moment, these aunts in the wing room looked at each other. I didn't know if I should envy her for living a more noble life than the lady in charge, or sympathize with the unfortunate wife.
Qiu's heart was bitter, and she said with a smile, ”aunt Niu, please sit down inside and have some tea. Mrs. Fang San Tai and Mrs. Fang San are in the open hall...”
Fang family?! Isn't that A few aunts listen to surname Fang, not from a Zheng, can not help but whisper.
Aunt Niu didn't want to say more with Qiu's concubine at all. Before the other side finished speaking, she had already swung her sleeve and left.
”Aunt Niu...” Qiushi rushed forward to try to stop her, but was pushed away by Aunt Niu impolitely. Qiushi staggered back a step. Fortunately, a mammy beside her helped her in time.
Qiu's head aches as she looks at the distant back of aunt Niu. Princess Shizi thinks highly of herself, so she asks herself to treat her guests. For this matter, Kim also comes to congratulate her once. Now that she has not done her job well, she is afraid that she will not be happy. It would be bad if it affected the future of my daughter
She bit her teeth and did not care whether she would offend aunt Niu, so she ran after her.
Unfortunately, even though she was panting for breath, she was still a step late. She just saw aunt Niu rush into the hall in spite of the obstruction of a group of servants at the door of the open hall, shouting: ”where is the princess?”
because of the birthday banquet, the open room is also decorated with a new, bright and clear, outside a few tall and luxuriant trees of the phoenix tree, covering up a lot of sunshine, even if there is no ice, the hall is also cool and refreshing. In the hall, many carefully cultivated chrysanthemums are put in the hall, which are colorful and colorful.
At this time, the ladies in the hall were sitting around several round tables, drinking tea and eating fruits and chatting.
Aunt Niu's rash entry makes the whole open hall quiet, and she becomes the focus of people's eyes again.
Most of the ladies present have never met aunt Niu. Even when Xiao Fang was in the prime, as long as she was a little bit shameless, she would not degrade herself to socialize with a concubine. At this time, she was wearing a pair of brocade with purple and gold embroidered sea water. She wore brocade with three treasures, and her head was very valuable. She was quite luxurious all over the body. For a moment, I didn't know which house she was.
Qiu's hot pursuit later stepped into the open hall and said, ”aunt Niu, you'd better follow me back.”
It's an aunt! All the ladies present were displeased. It was a great courage for an aunt to come here!
”Why should I go back?” Aunt Niu shook her sleeve and hit Qiu's outstretched hand, lifted her chin and said, ”where's the princess? Let her meet me! I'll ask her where my daughter and her mother-in-law are! ”
All the ladies' pupils shrank.
It was aunt Niu!
Many people suddenly think of aunt Niu's identity, and some of them are slow to respond to the advice of others. Their eyes suddenly change. The eyes of those aunts in the wing room looked at Aunt Niu with a trace of envy, but now the eyes of these ladies in charge are showing a little contempt and disapproval.Aunt Niu was just a concubine, and she was also a concubine carried by a maid. If it had not been for the sake of Xiao Fang's family, these ladies would have taken the initiative to ask the servants to expel the rude and vulgar woman. But Xiao Fang, after all, is the hostess of the palace. No one knows if she will make a comeback one day and take back the imperial concubine's mandate and the prince's favor.
