Chunlan went down according to the rules of previous years to make a plan for tomorrow's flower viewing party.Lu Xueying sat for a while, then got up and said that she was going to Luomeiju to see Xie Fanghua.Princess Ying smiled and waved her hand.Lu Xueying walked out of the main courtyard.Concubine Liu said, "I have nothing to do, so I will stay and help the princess's sister Zhang Luo with the flower viewing party." ”Prince Ying didn't shirk either, and nodded with a smile, "Since you stay to help me, then that's it, I'll also prepare some posts, and simply invite some of the ladies in Jingzhong to come."
In previous years, there were two cherry blossom viewing parties held every season every year, but this year's cherry blossom viewing party has not yet been held, and the ladies who love flowers as much as I do are probably waiting. ”Concubine Liu said with a smile, "Exactly, our palace hasn't been lively for a long time." ”Princess Ying called Cuihe over and said to her, "You go to Luomeiju again and ask the waiter about the painting, which lady has the Hua girl posted, I can prepare another copy and send it to the ladies." ”"Yes."
Cuihe responded and hurriedly went.After a while, Cui He returned and said the names of the people Xie Fanghua had invited.Prince Ying and Princess Ying were surprised, "The young lady from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion said that she was coming tomorrow" Cuihe nodded, "The slave maid was also very strange when she heard about it, and she asked deliberately, saying that not only Miss Li came, but Mrs.
Li also came." ”Prince Ying and Princess Ying wondered, "Isn't Li Rubi making a fuss about becoming a monk?"
”Cuihe Road.Prince Ying nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Did Zheng'er leave the mansion early this morning and say when you will come back?"
Cuihe shook her head and whispered, "The slave also quietly asked the waiter, saying that the little prince was out of the far house, and the return date was uncertain." ”Prince Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine." ”After a pause, he said, "They all live in the same capital, the right minister and the prince are officials in the same dynasty, Zheng'er and the Li family have been friends since childhood, and they don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, if they don't come and go from now on, it will be difficult."
I hope Li Rubi really wants to open it. ”Cuihe asked tentatively, "Do you want to send someone to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire." ”Prince Ying waved her hand, "Forget it, the right minister is an old fox, and he can know every move in the major mansions of the court."
If he knew about it, I would send someone to inquire about it, it would be too petty.Besides, Zheng'er is not at home, since Hua Yatou invited her, she must have an opinion, Li Rubi will not do anything in this Ying prince's mansion. ”Cuihe nodded.According to Xie Fanghua's list, Prince Ying invited the wives of various provinces, and also invited Mrs.
Zuo Xiang and several wives who loved flowers and plants.Pai Xi was sent to the provinces in turn.It didn't take long for the news that the Prince of England's mansion was going to hold a flower-viewing party in the capital.The palace also got the news at the same time.Qin Yu was the first to get the notice, a little strange, the object Xiao Quanzi asked, "You said that Prince Ying's Mansion is going to hold a flower viewing party" Xiao Quanzi nodded again and again, "Back to the emperor, it is exactly, it has spread in Beijing now, and the wives who have a relationship with Prince Ying and Princess Ying have all received posts." ”Qin Yu frowned, "At this time, how could the eldest aunt think of holding a flower viewing party" Xiao Quanzi hurriedly said, "The slave inquired clearly, it is said that the person who rose up this flower viewing party is the little princess, because Lu Xueying, the young lady of the Zuo Xiangfu who has lived in her mother's house for nearly two months, has returned home today.After the princess heard about it, she thought that there was no flower viewing party this year, so she simply invited the ladies to the post. ”Qin Yu frowned and asked Xiao Quanzi, "Is Fanghua and Lu Xueying very good?"
Xiao Quanzi was stunned for a moment, and said ambiguously, "It should be okay, it is said that Lu Xueying was tossed too miserably by Qin Hao, and the child had a miscarriage, and it was the little princess who rescued her and saved her life."
Because of this, Zuo Xiang and his wife are very grateful to the little princess, and they have had friendships and contacts since then. ”Qin Yu put down the fold in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is not like what she will do, she doesn't like to be lively, especially at this time, where is there such leisure" Xiao Quanzi asked tentatively, "Otherwise, the slave will go to Prince Ying's Mansion to ask about the little princess's plans" Qin Yu pondered for a moment and said to him, "Prince Ying's Mansion can give a post to the palace" Xiao Quanzi shook his head, "It seems that no, the slave has not heard of it." ”"In this way, you go to the Queen Mother's palace and ask her if she is willing to go out of the palace tomorrow to relax."
Qin Yu instructed Xiao Quanzi, "If the Queen Mother is willing, you will tell the Queen Mother that tomorrow I will accompany her to Prince Ying's Mansion to enjoy the flowers." ”Xiao Quanzi was taken aback, "Your Majesty, you also go" Qin Yu bowed, "Yes, I will go too." ”The words fell, and he waved his hand, "Go quickly, ask the Queen Mother." ”Xiao Quanzi answered and hurriedly went to the Empress Dowager's Palace.The Queen Mother naturally heard about the flower viewing party held by Prince Ying's Mansion, which was also a little strange.Ruyi brought Lu Xueying back to her home, Xie Fanghua originally only invited a few young ladies to make a small gathering in the name of the flower viewing party, and said that Prince Ying and Princess Ying brought the ladies to the post by the way.The Queen Mother immediately dispelled her doubts.While the two were talking, Xiao Quanzi came to the Empress Dowager Palace and conveyed Qin Yu's meaning.The Queen Mother was surprised, "The emperor also wants to go to Prince Ying's Mansion to enjoy the flowers" Xiao Quanzi said skillfully, "The emperor remembered that the Queen Mother had not left the palace for a long time, and he was accompanying the Queen Mother to you." ”The Queen Mother waved her hand when she heard this, "Tell the emperor that he is busy with political affairs, how can the mourning family disturb him for his own distraction." ”Xiao Quanzi immediately said, "This is also a piece of filial piety of the emperor, if you want to go, you can go." ”The Queen Mother felt warm in her heart when she heard this, "The emperor is very filial." ”After a pause, he added, "Sister-in-law Wang didn't post to the mourning family." ”Xiao Quanzi suddenly smiled, "If you want to go, just send someone to Prince Ying's mansion to inform you, and the princess will definitely welcome it."
It's just that you didn't go out of the palace to participate in the previous flower-viewing party, and the princess probably didn't give you a post.The eldest princess participates every year, and she likes to be lively, and the post has long passed. ”The Queen Mother nodded, and said with a smile, "The emperor has already sent someone to Xingyang Zheng's family, if you hurry up, rush the trip, and travel overnight, tomorrow's Xingyang Zheng family's people will be able to enter Beijing, and the eldest princess is not in a hurry to see that her son-in-law is still free to participate in the flower viewing party" Xiao Quanzi covered her mouth and smiled, "This year, it is this time of year that the Ying Prince's Mansion will hold a flower viewing party, and the eldest princess also loves flowers, and she definitely doesn't want to miss this excitement."
Besides, the people of the Zheng family in Xingyang will enter Beijing tomorrow, and they will not be in a hurry to leave, they will not be able to see each other sooner or later, the county lord of Jinyan is definitely going to Prince Ying's mansion, and the eldest princess is certainly not in a hurry to see her son-in-law. ”"Yes," the Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand, "Then you will go back to the emperor and say that the mourning family will go to enjoy the flowers tomorrow." ”Xiao Quanzi happily replied and hurried out of the Empress Dowager's palace.After Xiaoquanzi left, the Queen Mother turned her head to Ruyi and said, "You said that there will be many young ladies from Beijing who will participate in the flower viewing party tomorrow" Ruyi was thoughtful, "It is said that yes, there are people invited by the little princess, and there are also people invited by the princess, and Prince Ying's mansion will be lively tomorrow." ”The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "Now that the eldest princess has chosen Jin Yan for the relatives of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Jin Yan has also agreed, just waiting for the people of the Zheng family in Xingyang to enter Beijing to face the saint."
I used to think that with Jin Yan's heart for the emperor, she would always have to enter the palace in a hurry, but I didn't expect her to see it.If it is said that Jin Yan wants to be talented and good-looking, in fact, she deserves to be a queen, but it's a pity that the emperor doesn't like it.And Emperor Li Rubi of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't want it.I don't know what kind of emperor will choose. ”Ruyi couldn't answer, so he only said, "It is said that the young lady from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will also go to Prince Ying's Mansion on Sunday." ”"Don't make a fuss about becoming a monk," the Queen Mother asked.Ruyi shook her head.The Queen Mother sighed, "Li Rubi's talent and appearance are all extremely outstanding, so is Jin Yan, and there are many young ladies in this Beijing, all of whom are excellent."
Just don't compare with Xie Fanghua.Once compared, there is always a difference between superior and inferior. ”Ruyi also sighed, "Our emperor is extremely bitter in his heart. ”The Queen Mother nodded, "The matter of marriage is determined by heaven."
There is no fate, and you can't force it.The day I ascended the throne scared me enough, but fortunately, he and Qin Zheng were able to focus on the overall situation. ”After a pause, he said, "The first emperor gave the country to Yu'er, and returned Xie Fanghua to Qin Zheng."
It can be regarded as doing the right thing before dying.Otherwise, these two children will not be good. ”Ruyi nodded."
The emperor watched them grow up since he was a child, and he still understood them."
The Queen Mother said again, "The person in Xie Fanghua's heart is Qin Zheng, and the emperor has also seen through it.This is also for the good of the Southern Qin rivers and mountains, and for their good, so that they will not kill each other and leave a disaster to the country. ”"The Emperor is wise."
Ruyi said.The Queen Mother laughed, "When others were alive, I had a lot of grievances, he died, but I remembered his goodness." ”When the words fell, she showed a tired look, "How is the government, there is no need to worry about the mourning family, in the days to come, I only hope that the emperor can completely let go and take a concubine, this harem can't always be so empty, and the country of Southern Qin also needs an heir." ”Ruyi nodded.Xiao Quanzi went back to the imperial study to tell Qin Yu that the Queen Mother had agreed.Qin Yu waved his hand at him when he heard this, "You go to Prince Ying's Mansion and tell your aunt that tomorrow I will accompany the Queen Mother to Prince Ying's Mansion to enjoy the flowers." ”Xiao Quanzi responded and hurriedly left the palace and went to Prince Ying's mansion.In the Luomei Residence of Prince Ying, Xie Fanghua was sewing clothes, and Lu Xueying entered the Luomei Residence.When Xie Fanghua saw her coming, she put down the clothes in her hand and went out.When Lu Xueying saw her, she smiled and held her hand, "How did I lose weight like this, compared to you, I am fat." ”Xie Fanghua saw that she looked very good, and vaguely heard that the eldest prince Qin Hao had changed his usual attitude these days, and changed his mind, after the prince relieved him of his closed-door thoughts, he went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion every day to make amends, and asked Lu Xueying for forgiveness, Lu Xueying was very hateful, ignoring him, Mrs.
Zuo Xiang was also extremely angry, and wanted her daughter to leave, but she couldn't bear Qin Hao's day by day in Zuo Xiang's Mansion, and she lowered her voice and sincerely begged Lu Xueying back.In the end, Mrs.
Zuo Xiang couldn't bear to make things difficult for him, and Zuo Xiang also recognized his corrective attitude and allowed him to take Lu Xueying back.Xie Fanghua also held her hand back, and sighed that when she returned to Beijing, she saw her for the first time, but now that time has passed, she is no longer listening, and she is no longer the Lu Xueying of the past.At that time, it was unimaginable that one day I could talk and laugh so kindly.She smiled and led her into the house, and at the same time said, "Where are you fat, you can only be regarded as a little more plump, more and more beautiful, no wonder the eldest brother begged you back and emptied the servant girl of Bauhinia Garden." ”Lu Xueying snorted lightly, "What is it to empty the maidservant, wait for me to give him eight beautiful concubines, and Bauhinia Garden will immediately be lively." ”Xie Fanghua was stunned, and Lu Xueying, "Eight concubines", nodded.Xie Fanghua led her to sit down, and the waiter brought the tea, she pushed the tea in front of her, and said a little speechlessly, "It's too much" Lu Xueying pursed her lips and smiled, "My family can toss, if you don't marry a ten-room and eight-room, how can you vent his anger, I don't want to go to the ghost gate again." ”Xie Fanghua was even more speechless.Lu Xueying looked at her, seeing that she looked unbelievable, she took a sip of tea and said funny, "It's not too many concubines to scare you, there are many people in Beijing who have more than ten or twenty concubines in their backyards, that is, this Ying Prince's Mansion, and the prince's concubine room also has four or five rooms, but after the relationship between the prince and the princess is good, they are all dispersed, leaving only Concubine Liu to retire in the mansion, you can't see it." ”Xie Fanghua was speechless for a while.Lu Xueying said again, "The mansions in Beijing naturally cannot be compared with the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has always only asked for the wife of the Ming media to marry, and does not accept concubines.The backyard of the head of the Xie family's rice grain and Xie family's salt warehouse also only marry the person he likes, and do not ask for concubines, so as not to confuse the court.This is also Xie's.Even my father's backyard, although he doesn't like women, he also has three or four beautiful concubines. ”Xie Fanghua thinks about it, it seems that this is really the case.Lu Xueying looked at her and said with a smile, "Zheng Xiaowang has a dignified character, unlike Qin Hao, he spoils you like a top child, and he has already threatened not to marry you, and you will be the only one in your life."
So, you don't have to be scared by me. ”Xie Fanghua laughed, "It's not just me who is scared, if you mention it to the princess, she will be scared too."
After all, it is still rare to admit so many concubines into the door at once. ”"I've already mentioned it to the princess."
Lu Xueying pursed her lips and smiled, "It's true that I'm scared, but I'm really determined, and when the princess chooses an auspicious day, I will carry the good candidate I am looking for into the door." ”Xie Fanghua didn't know what to say when she heard this, but she felt that it was rare for a wife to give her husband an eight-room concubine at once, and it would definitely set off a storm in the capital of Southern Qin.The two chatted for a while, and a little maid came to Luomeiju, saying that the eldest son had returned home, and he didn't see the eldest and young grandmothers, so he sent him to invite the eldest and young grandmothers back.After hearing this, Lu Xueying asked through the curtain, "It's still early, why did he come back so early" The little guy immediately said, "Go back to the eldest young grandmother, the eldest son will hurry back to see if the yard is cleaned up after handling business, I'm afraid that you have lived in the Zuo Xiangfu for a long time and are not used to it." ”Lu Xueying smiled when she heard this, "It turned out to be for this, you go back and tell him, and I will go back later." ”The little guy nodded and went back to say goodbye.Lu Xueying sent the little maid, but she was not in a hurry to go back, and chatted with Xie Fanghua for half an hour before she got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she whispered to Xie Fanghua, "My father said that if something goes wrong, you just have to find him." ”Xie Fanghua understood, understood what Zuo Xiang was alluding to, and nodded to her.Lu Xueying came out of Luomeiju.Xiaoquanzi came to Prince Ying's mansion, led by Xishun, and went to see Prince Ying and Princess Ying.When Princess Ying heard that the Queen Mother was coming, she was stunned for a moment, and when she heard that the emperor was accompanying the Queen Mother, she was even more surprised, but she didn't show it on her face, she nodded with a smile, "I thought that in previous years, the Queen Mother didn't like to join in this excitement, so I didn't give an invitation to the palace. ”Xiao Quanzi didn't go to Luomeiju after finishing his errand, and went straight back to the palace.Prince Ying and Princess Ying pondered what the meaning of the emperor accompanied the queen to enjoy the flowers in the mansion, and she couldn't guess left and right, so she took the time to go to Luomei Ju to see Xie Fanghua.After Xie Fanghua sent Lu Xueying away, she also got the news that the queen mother and the emperor would also come to the house tomorrow to enjoy the flowers, she smiled, nodded, and went back to the room to continue sewing clothes.Princess Ying entered Luomei Residence, and when she saw that the waiter was going to tell her, she smiled and waved her hand to stop it, and asked at the same time, "Hua Yatou is resting" The waiter shook her head, "Miss is sewing clothes" Princess Ying frowned, "Why don't you rest well and do the work, what if you are tired" and entered the house.Xie Fanghua was docking the gap, too involved, and when she found out that Princess Ying was coming, she had already entered the door, and before she could greet her, she had already entered the inner room, she could only shout, "Mother, you are here." ”Princess Ying walked closer, glanced at the clothes, and asked her, "This is for Zheng'er to make clothes and hand them over to the embroidery girl, you should rest." ”Xie Fanghua shook his head, "These fabrics are different, I plan to make underwear for him." ”Princess Ying looked at the fabric carefully, and touched it with her hand, "Isn't it just ordinary snow silk brocade" Xie Fanghua smiled and nodded, "It's an ordinary snow silk brocade, but the color is different, and the use is different, you can't fake it to others, these are all made for Qin Zheng." ”When the words fell, she lowered her voice and said, "Regarding the map of the hidden pile of the Xingyang Zheng clan over the years, the left minister gave it." ”Prince Ying and Princess Ying were shocked.Xie Fanghua nodded affirmatively at her.Princess Ying looked at the fabric carefully, but still didn't see anything, Xie Fanghua moved the fabric to the light, she suddenly understood, was silent for a moment, and said with emotion, "Sure enough, it's Zuo Xiang, hiding so deeply." ”Xie Fanghua was just about to answer, when an eagle bird flew in from outside, she stretched out her hand, and the eagle bird flew into her palm
