Chapter 6: The Queen's Banquet


Xie Fanghua sat in Concubine Lin's inner room for half an hour, and when it was dark, she put the box in her arms and walked out.Concubine Lin, Jin Yan and Yan Lan were chatting in the painting hall outside, and when they saw her come out, they smiled kindly, "The congratulatory gifts are counted properly" Xie Fanghua nodded and complied with her, "The inventory is done properly, the Empress Dowager Deci is very loving, Fanghua remembers it in her heart, thank you concubine." ”Concubine Lin smiled and waved her hand, "Since it's all right, it's getting late, I won't leave you behind, go back and rest" Xie Fanghua nodded.Jin Yan and Yan Lan got up to say goodbye.The old lady who was waiting in front of Concubine Lin sent the three out of the dormitory, turned back, and the three of them walked all the way to De'an Palace.Halfway through, two palace maids blocked the way and saluted the three of them.Xie Fanghua glanced at the two palace maids, and saw that the two of them were wearing the palace cards of Yufu Palace and Yicui Palace, and recognized them as people from Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen's palace."

Miss Fanghua, this is a big wedding gift from my mother."

The palace maid who hung the palace card of Yufu Palace stepped forward and handed over a box, "My mother said that there is a concubine to invite you today, and a queen to invite you tomorrow, and my mother will not invite you."

Don't be disgusted with the booklet. ”"Thank you, Concubine Shen," Xie Fanghua took the box.Another palace maid also stepped forward and handed over a box as well, "Miss Fanghua, my mother's words are light and affectionate, Miss Fanghua must not be disgusted."

I was supposed to send it to you in person, but it was late and it was not very convenient, so I sent a slave and maid. ”Xie Fanghua stretched out her hand to take it again, "Thank you Concubine Liu" The two maidservants saw her accept it, and respectfully retired together, and turned to leave.Xie Fanghua held these two boxes, which were lighter than the boxes given to her by the Empress Dowager Deci.She put it in her arms and continued to walk forward.Jin Yan sighed, "It's not bad to go to the palace once, you can receive gifts." ”Yan Lan covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Jin Yan, "When you get married, you can also receive gifts, don't be envious." ”Jin Yan glared at Yan Lan, "Which pot can't be opened, which pot you mention, I'm looking forward to my marriage, but unfortunately, can I marry in this life, is it the person I want to marry, I don't even have a way in front of me." ”"You are trapped in the altar now, and when you jump out of the altar, you will feel that the world is high, and a man is nothing."

Yan Lan said."

You are arrogant, you shouldn't be trapped in the Yongkang Hou Mansion, you should go to the rivers and lakes to be a heroine."

Jin Yan immediately smiled when she heard this."

I thought there was no drama in my life, I only had the kung fu of a three-legged cat, my brother practiced martial arts when I was a child, and I also followed it for a while, and then I couldn't stand it, and if I didn't learn, it was abandoned.Now I can't even beat a crappy man, let alone go to the rivers and lakes to be a heroine. ”Yan Lan regretted a little, "If I had known earlier, even if I suffered, I would have to learn martial arts well." ”Jin Yan smiled, "Where is the life on the rivers and lakes as you imagined, it is said that the knife licks the blood, the wind eats and sleeps in the open, your tender little face is blown by the wind, and it will dry up in a few days." ”Yan Lan shuddered for a moment, "I didn't have any thoughts, I wanted to find a chivalrous man to marry in the rivers and lakes, what village, what door, what pavilion, what mountain, what faction, according to what you say, forget it." ”Jin Yan laughed, "Why didn't I find you so interesting before" "You are also interesting" Yan Lan also laughed.Xie Fanghua also felt funny when she heard the two chatting like this, and looked at Yan Lan, "Although you are not good at martial arts, you are a three-legged cat, but you are good at riding and shooting." ”"Huh, how do you know," Yan Lan looked at her.Xie Fanghua remembered that after returning to Beijing, Qin Zheng dragged her to hunt, and naturally saw her riding and shooting, but her identity as a hearing had been burned with a fire, no one remembered it anymore, and few people knew it, she smiled, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard it with my own ears." ”Yan Lan suddenly became proud, "Well, I have worked riding and shooting, and I learned from Lu Xueying at that time." ”Speaking of Lu Xueying, she suddenly said, "Since Lu Xueying married Qin Hao, I haven't seen her again." ”Jin Yan sneered when she heard this, "Qin Hao is the scum of the royal family, looking at the appearance of a human being, he does everything he can to torture women in private.She was afraid that she would not be able to get out of bed every day, and she would not be able to get out of the room. ”"The rumors outside are true," Yan Lan asked immediately."

It's not empty, it can't be fake."

Jin Yan said, "It's a pity that Lu Xueying's tough temperament fell into Qin Hao's hands, I'm afraid she would have been tortured and softened." ”Yan Lan said with some pity, "She's actually quite good."

At that time, I liked Qin Zheng, and I liked anything like that, I was going crazy, but I knew that I also liked her, and I wasn't too jealous, and regarded me as a mortal enemy.If it weren't for the one called Tingyin," she said this, her words suddenly stopped, and she looked at Xie Fanghua.Xie Fanghua didn't care, "Go on" Yan Lan glanced at Xie Fanghua in confusion, "You really don't care about the maid who once held up to the sky by Qin Zheng's side" "What's the use of caring" Xie Fanghua said, "Everyone is dead." ”"It's also a blessing."

Yan Lan was a pity, but as she spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, "No, she died too suddenly." ”The words fell, looked at her, and asked in a low voice, "Did you do it to her" Xie Fanghua laughed, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think" Yan Lan shook her head, "You know medical skills, and you want people to die, but you are not unaware." ”Xie Fanghua nodded when she heard this, and said to her sincerely, "Yes, I killed her, don't tell Qin Zheng." ”Yan Lan's eyes immediately widened and she looked at her in disbelief.Jin Yan stretched out her hand and pushed Yan Lan, "Don't listen to her nonsense, Dr.

Sun diagnosed the pulse, saying that it was sudden death, and it was a sudden stop of heartbeat."

Although this disease is rare, it is not impossible.It's kind of a strange thing.Her identity as a young lady of the Marquis Mansion, there is no need to attack a servant.What's more," she looked at Xie Fanghua, "there is a kind of person who disdains to do this kind of thing to deal with women, and she is like this."

She wants a man's heart. ”"You know me," Xie Fanghua smiled.Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Xie Fanghua dissatisfiedly, "Is it fun to tease me" Xie Fanghua was helpless, what she said was true, she did kill the listening sound, but it was her who listened to the sound.The three of them talked and returned to the De'an Palace.It was getting late, the lights of De'an Palace were on, Chunlan stood at the door, and when she saw the three of them coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute."

Aunt Lan, why did you enter the palace," Xie Fanghua was stunned when she saw Chunlan."

It was the princess who asked me to come into the palace to see you and give you a word."

Chunlan saw that Xie Fanghua looked good and everything was fine, so she put her heart down, approached her, and lowered her voice, "The princess said that the little prince has returned to the palace today, and everything is ready for the wedding in the palace."

Let you stay in the palace to get married with peace of mind.The morning after tomorrow, when the auspicious time comes, the little prince will come to the palace to pick you up. ”Xie Fanghua knew that the princess had sent Chunlan to give her a reassuring pill, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I know."

It also reassures the princess that everything is fine with me in the palace. ”After a pause, she also lowered her voice and added, "The Empress Dowager Deci entrusted Concubine Lin to give me a congratulatory gift, and Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen also gave me gifts. ”Chunlan was surprised, "The Queen Mother actually left a congratulatory gift for you" Xie Fanghua nodded, thinking about what the Queen Mother entrusted to Concubine Lin to her, I am afraid that except for Concubine Lin, no one else knows.Chunlan put away her surprise and calmed down, "The slave must go back and tell the princess, the princess has been worried about you, and it has been difficult to sleep and eat for the past two days."

I hope something doesn't happen. ”Xie Fanghua nodded.Chunlan didn't stay any longer and left De'an Palace.Jin Yan saw Chunlan leaving, and said to Xie Fanghua, "You are really blessed, before you have passed the door, your mother-in-law will treat you as a daughter." ”Xie Fanghua glanced at her with a smile and nodded, "Yes, I also feel so blessed to have a mother-in-law like the princess." ”"It's even more blessed to have a husband like Zheng Xiao Wangye" Yan Lan hit her with her arm, "Zheng Xiao Wang Ye is getting married, if you get married smoothly the day after tomorrow, how many women will cry and wet the pillow towel." ”"What do you have to do with me," Xie Fanghua said, and entered the Dongnuan Pavilion.Yan Lan followed behind her angrily, "My brother doesn't know where it is now, if he knows, I'm afraid he will cry." ”Xie Fanghua paused and said to Yan Lan, "He won't cry." ”"How do you know," Yan Lan looked at her, "My brother likes you so much." ”"I just know" Xie Fanghua remembered Yan Ting's appearance when he left, and felt that his affection was exhausted on that day.Yan Lan looked at her carefully, and suddenly said, "I'm very strange, the emperor sent the royal guards, my father sent the guards of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion, and my brother only left for half a day, but he disappeared without a trace."

You tell me the truth, is it related to you" Xie Fanghua didn't speak, and walked over to make the bed.Yan Lan followed to the bed, "I think you have the ability to help my brother leave, if you don't have the help of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, how can you avoid the royal guards and the people sent by my father, besides, this Nanqin, which is the deepest rooted in every land, isn't it the Xie family" "Are you sure you want to sleep in the same bed with me" Xie Fanghua asked without answering."

OK," Jin Yan said."

I ask you, it's all this time, you tell me I'm really worried about my brother."

Yan Lan grabbed Xie Fanghua's hand.Xie Fanghua could only stop and admit to her, "Yes, your brother was escorted out of Nanqin by me." ”"Really, you didn't lie to me," Yan Lan immediately asked."

It's true, I kid you not."

Xie Fanghua nodded.Yan Lan grabbed his hand tightly, originally she was just guessing and thinking it had something to do with her, but now that she admitted it herself, she was still shocked, "Where is my brother now" "In Northern Qi" Xie Fanghua replied to him."

It turns out that he is really in Northern Qi," Yan Lan asked, "Is he doing well, where is he in Northern Qi", "He should be doing well, at least, it will not be worse than his life in Southern Qin." ”Xie Fanghua looked at him solemnly, "Your brother can't stand your mother's persecution, it's too depressing, and I can't give him the affection he wants, so he left Nanqin."

Even if I tell you where it is, I think, for his good, for the good of the Yongkang Hou Mansion, you should not leak the news and find him. ”Yan Lan was stunned."

He is in the mansion of his uncle in the small country of Northern Qi," Xie Fanghua informed her of her whereabouts, "However, his departure from Southern Qin is not necessarily a bad thing for the situation in Southern Qin now and in the future."

Your brother has been friends with Qin Zheng since he was a child, isn't he" Yan Lan was smart, and quickly understood what Xie Fanghua meant, nodded, and said in a low voice, "I understand, thank you." ”Xie Fanghua smiled, "Thank me for what, it's good if your father doesn't hate me." ”"My father has been talking about my brother these days, and he is no longer thunderous.My mother threw herself on the child in her belly, in fact, I know that my mother values my brother too much, and after my brother left, the child in her belly was the straw she grabbed, and she was afraid that my brother would not come back. ”Yan Lan sighed, "I don't blame you anymore, these days, I have also figured out a lot of things, I actually envy my brother, he said to go, this time out, if he can come back again, his vision must be wider than before."

Not a bad thing. ”Xie Fanghua nodded, "It's best to think like this." ”"I know that although you can't give your brother the affection you want, it will definitely take a lot of effort to get him to leave Nanqin."

Yan Lan let out a long breath and seemed to be completely relaxed.Xie Fanghua looked at her, Yan Lan, who had no burden, pressure, and thoughts, her eyebrows and eyes were light and vivid, very attractive, she smiled, beckoned to the two, "Come and sleep" The two nodded.The three of them took off the Zhu Hai jewelry and lay down on the big bed side by side.Yan Lan thought it was very interesting, "I've never slept with someone else, it's so fresh" Jin Yan also found it interesting and nodded, "Me too, it's fun." ”Xie Fanghua had no such experience, and nodded approvingly.The three of them were not sleepy for a while, and chatted for an hour, and it was getting late, so they turned off the lights and fell asleep.The night of De'an Palace is exceptionally quiet and calm.The queen's Fengluan Palace turned off the lights very late.Outside the palace, the lights of Prince Ying's Mansion and Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion were also extinguished very late.The lights in the East Palace were extinguished early, and the lights in Luomeiju were also extinguished as soon as it was dark.On the second day, the three of them got up late and probably never slept in the same bed, so all three of them were invariably uncomfortable.Although I didn't sleep late, I didn't sleep very well at night, and it was a cloudy day, and the sky was drizzling in the morning, and the room was slightly dark.When the three of them woke up, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile."

I'm used to it tonight," Jin Yan said, getting out of bed.Yan Lan rubbed her neck, "Sure enough, it's a delicate life, I don't dare to move, I'm so tired." ”Xie Fanghua is slightly better than the two, after all, in those years and days, she stepped on the white bones to survive, compared to those, sleeping like this for one night is really easy.After breakfast, Ruyi beside the queen came to De'an Palace to invite the three of them.The palace man handed over the oil-paper umbrella that had already been prepared for the three of them.The three of them carried oil-paper umbrellas and followed Ruyi to Fengluan Palace."

Looking at the weather like today, I don't know what kind of weather tomorrow will be."

Yan Lan held an umbrella and said, "Although this rain is not heavy, it is also boring. ”Jin Yan looked at the towering palace wall, "Yes, I'm bored." ”Xie Fanghua was noncommittal.The group soon came to Fengluan Palace.The queen greeted her in person, Xie Fanghua was stunned for a moment, and the three of them gave the queen a salute together.The queen stretched out her hand to hold up Xie Fanghua, and smiled gently and kindly, "It's all about being polite, I slept well yesterday" "It's okay" Xie Fanghua saw that although the queen's complexion was not very good, she was very energetic, smiled, and wanted to withdraw her hand.The queen held her hand, didn't let her pull it out, and pulled her to the palace, "The two county lords accompanied you into the palace to be married, when I heard about it, I was surprised, I didn't expect Miss Fanghua to have such a good relationship with the two of them." ”Xie Fanghua smiled and followed her into the hall, but she didn't see Qin Yu's figure, and there was no one else's figure."

It's the two of us who are cheeky and want to get a touch of Fanghua's sister's blessings, so we can marry ourselves out earlier."

Jin Yan said with a smile.The queen pulled Xie Fanghua into her seat, then let go of her hand and glanced at Jin Yan with disgust, "You two are dignified county lords, and you can still be worried about marrying" Jin Yan lowered her head.Her thoughts, not to mention looking at the entire Southern Qin Capital, I am afraid that everyone knows it, how can the queen not know that Yan Lan smiled and accosted, "Naturally, I am worried about getting married, I don't know, the little prince Zheng is going to get married, and His Royal Highness the prince also has a future princess."

The two good sons of Nanqin are set for life, how can we not worry about where to find a good one" The queen suddenly smiled when she heard this, and pointed at Yan Lan, "You dare to say this in front of the palace, you are not afraid that the palace will point you to a good one" "That relationship is good, when Fanghua marries into the palace of Prince Ying, the queen mother, you must think of me and point me to a wishful husband."

Even if it's not as good as the little prince and the prince, it's not too bad. ”"I'm afraid that this palace will answer you and give you a point, but you will not be satisfied.This palace doesn't do such unpleasant things. ”The queen smiled, "But if you have a favorite county horse one day and come to the palace, the palace will give you a marriage." ”"Then I'll thank you first."

Yan Lan thanked her.Because of her funny jokes, the atmosphere in the inner sanctum suddenly relaxed a lot.It was still early for lunch, and a few people were chatting in Fengluan Palace.Most of them were the queen and Yan Lan talking, Xie Fanghua and Jin Yan occasionally exchanged a sentence or two, and the atmosphere was harmonious, lively and cheerful.Near noon, someone came to say, "Niangniang, Miss Li from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has entered the palace" "It's not too late to come, go and invite in." ”The queen smiled and waved her hand, then turned back to the three of them, "Miss Li is not an outsider, I didn't ask anyone else to accompany me today, thinking that I hadn't seen her for a few days, so I called her here." ”The three of them were stunned for a moment, then they all smiled and nodded.Not long after, Ruyi invited Li Rubi in, she wore a dress as green as a lake, and on such a rainy day, she looked fresh and bright.When I first came in, my eyes lit up.------ digression------ don't worry, a complete story is composed of various parts, and if you miss any part, you can't run through the whole text, and if you miss any part, you can't expand what you want to see the most.I hope you understand.Don't compare the concubine Ben Jinghua with the princess of the princess of the world.Different styles, different penmanship, different backgrounds and situations, naturally have different stories and feelings.Jingmen Fengyue is such a pen and such a story in such a background
