All women.
However, the expressions on their faces were extremely delicate.
There are doubts, surprises, and complexities, but there is no joy.
Everyone in the mansion knows that the princess is not a simple role. Although the outside world praises her for being virtuous, gentle and generous, only when she gets along with her can she realize that this woman is not as harmless as she appears on the surface.
Seeing that they have been sitting here for almost an hour, she still hasn't come.
It was obviously her time to be notified, and they all came a quarter of an hour earlier out of respect, but now an hour has passed, and there is still no sign of her.
But no one dared to complain, she was not only the dignified hostess of Yong'an Palace, but also the only daughter of General Mo Shang, the veteran of the two dynasties, her status was enough to make them swallow their grievances willingly.
After about a stick of incense, I saw two figures slowly walking in from the outside.
One of them is dressed in scarlet clothes and looks pretty. It is the most trusted confidant of the princess, Yan Fei.
The person she was supporting was dressed in a gorgeous and noble royal blue formal attire. She was still slender and fair-skinned. She looked extraordinarily beautiful. A woman who was nearly forty years old looked like a newly married young woman, and she was very attractive. heart and soul.
It seems that these years have been closed at home, not just fasting
There were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in the hearts of the women, but they didn't dare to lose their courtesy, and stood up one after another, "I have seen the princess."
Mo Hanyan walked to the main seat step by step, and after sitting down, he said lightly, "Sit down."
"Thank you princess"
"My concubine is not in good health, and she fasted and took a bath earlier, which delayed some time and made everyone wait for a long time." Mo Hanyan said politely, but there was no trace of apology in those words.
"Hehe, where is the princess, it doesn't matter if we wait for a while, the body is more important." Who can say polite words, the left concubine Bai Qing is a smooth person, and she has always been good at smoothing things over, so this embarrassing situation will be resolved. atmosphere.
"So, let's start eating." Mo Hanyan hooked his lips, as if a little mocking, and suddenly raised his beautiful eyes, "Where are the two children of Youranju?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to look left and right to search, but they searched around, but there was no result.
Most of them have no impression of the people living in Youranju.
However, Yan Xiruan and Yan Xiwu have seen Qing Yu before. Obviously, she didn't come at all, but since the last time Youranju was teased by Qing Yu, the two of them have been stunned. , Subconsciously, I wanted to defend her, so I kept my mouth shut.
"Yanfei, are you sure everyone has been notified?" Mo Hanyan's eyes darkened, and there was already a little anger on his face.
Yanfei at the side said respectfully, "Princess, I was the first to notify Youranju, I don't know why they didn't come."
Mo Hanyan suddenly slapped the silver chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said coldly, "It's really a big shelf."
That sound startled everyone, and they were all trembling in their hearts.
Mo Hanyan's face was cloudy at this moment, very scary.
She deliberately came an hour late, just to let these women remember who is the master of this mansion.
Unexpectedly, someone would dare to challenge her
"Princess, calm down, or I will go again," Yan Fei asked in a low voice.
"No need." Mo Hanyan snorted coldly, "My concubine will go in person."
Now, the two people living in leisurely are afraid that they will suffer.
While everyone was thinking about it, there was a sound of the wheels of the car slowly rubbing on the ground. The slender girl in white, pushing the boy in the wheelchair, approached slowly.
The young girl's appearance is enchanting and gorgeous, and it makes people's hearts flutter at a glance.
Although the boy in the wheelchair looked a little weak and his face was pale, his appearance was outstanding, with a delicate beauty.
The girl pushed the wheelchair and walked in unhurriedly.
Qing Yu looked around, smiled and nodded at the women, and then looked at the beautiful woman with a bad face on the main seat.
"I'm really sorry, Princess, because my brother's legs are sick and he can't walk, and I'm weak, so I'm late." Qing Yu said softly with guilt.
She was already good-looking, but now she frowned, looking pitiful and helpless.
However, Mo Hanyan was not moved at all, and stared at her overly pretty face with gloomy eyes, "I have been waiting for you for an hour, you are too weak to walk for an hour to arrive"
As soon as these words came out, the women below all cursed in their hearts, she was too shameless, she was putting on airs and made them wait for an hour, yet she still had the nerve to say this
She sat down since she just came here, and she probably didn't even warm up the chair under her buttocks.
Because of their resentment towards Mo Hanyan, they felt a little more sympathy for Qing Yu.
The lives of these two brothers and sisters are really miserable, I'm afraid they won't be able to please today.
Being made difficult by Mo Hanyan, the girl's face was a little bit more wronged, "Princess, you clearly know that Youranju is the most remote place in the entire palace. We came here, and an hour has passed."
This is true. The Yongan Palace is the largest mansion other than the imperial palace. If you want to visit it, you need to take a carriage and soft sedan chair. Otherwise, your feet will be swollen after walking around.
Which of these wives and young ladies are usually well-clothed and pampered, if they were asked to walk for an hour, they would have been so tired that they would have collapsed on the ground and would not be able to get up.
And Leisurely Residence is indeed the most remote courtyard in the entire mansion.
Some of the places where they live are remote, but they can be reached within a few quarters of an hour at most, and less than half an hour at the farthest.
If You Ranju really wanted to go, it would take half an hour to take the carriage, not to mention the unfavored concubine son and concubine daughter, who are not qualified to take the carriage at all.
In my heart, I felt even more distressed about these two little people.
Mo Hanyan didn't expect this girl to dare to talk back, her eyes widened, "Are you saying that this concubine deliberately made things difficult for you?"
"Qing Yu didn't dare, but we really didn't come late on purpose, please don't blame the princess." The girl lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, with an innocent and pitiful look, which made Mo Hanyan helpless even if she wanted to make trouble.
"Forget it, let's sit down and eat." Mo Hanyan frowned, and took the lead in moving her chopsticks. She was really hungry after so much tossing around today.
Qing Yu thanked her, pushed Qing Bei closer to the dining table, and sat down herself. Because they arrived late, they sat at the end of the table.
When eating, the dining table is very quiet, because they are all ladies, and they have been well-educated in etiquette since they were young. They pay attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, and they don't even chew when eating.
But today, it seems that the usual quietness can no longer be maintained.
At this time, the chopsticks in the hands of everyone stopped, silently looking towards the end of the dining table.
"Xiaobei, eat this, um, this tastes good."
"Eat more meat, you look so thin, other people's teenagers of the same age are much stronger than you."
"Eat a little more to fill your stomach, and you don't need to eat any more at night. I have never eaten such a delicious dish before."
"It's really hard to eat the last meal without the next meal. The princess is so kind, she specially asked us to come over for dinner."
While Qing Yu was eating big mouthfuls, he added vegetables to Qing Bei's bowl on the opposite side. After a while, a small hill was piled up in his bowl.
The bowl was full of meat, which looked very greasy. The boy didn't speak, and lowered his head to eat in small bites, as if he was a little shy.
But who knew that he lowered his head and was just enduring it desperately, not letting himself laugh out loud. God knows that this was the first time he saw his sister like this. He was so good at acting that he almost believed it himself. up.
Over there, Qing Yu was still chattering while eating, chewing very loudly.
This is not over, she moved several of her favorite dishes to the front, and ate them on her own, as if she hadn't eaten for many years.
One bite after another was stuffed into her mouth, which made people wonder how such a small one could hold so many things in her stomach.
"It's really uneducated." Mo Han's face flushed with smoke, "The majestic lady of Yong'an Palace has no etiquette at all. Look at your appearance, you are no different from ordinary people in the market. Did my concubine treat you badly?" Why didn't I give you food?"
Qing Yu was eating happily, she was so frightened that she almost choked, she quickly took a sip of the soup and Shun Shun Qi.
"Princess, my brother and I haven't eaten such a good thing for a long time. We only have two steamed buns a day and we are too hungry." Qing Yu lowered her head aggrieved as she said, "It doesn't matter if I don't eat, but my brother's health No, I can’t even keep my stomach full every day. I feel really sad when I see it. I know that the palace has a large population, and my father lives in poverty all day long fighting enemies on the battlefield. I don’t dare to ask too much. Can I give more in the future We have a few steamed buns”
Seemingly too sad, the girl lowered her head and could not speak, her shoulders twitched and choked.
"Cough cough cough" While speaking, the thin boy let out a suppressed coughing sound, making the two of them even more pitiful.
Except for Mo Hanyan, almost all the women present were moved, with deep sympathy and pity in their eyes.
The concubine is simply too immeasurable, these are just two children, and she is so harsh on them.
If this young girl hadn't spoken out today, they would not have known when Yong'an Palace became so frugal.
Even the meals of the servants are full of meat, and although Youranju is not taken seriously, she is also a serious young lady, so it is so difficult to even have a full stomach
Mo Hanyan looked at the condemning eyes of those women, his face turned blue with anger, and he slapped the table heavily, "It's just nonsense."
