Besides, on Gu Yin and Wang's side, not long after Gu Ye left this day, the two started to dress up.
The last time I entered the palace, I just came to the capital. When the Queen Mother held a banquet, this time it was for Gu Ye, so naturally the two of them could not be absent.
The banquet was held as before, and Wu Zhong was not absent this time, and he also arranged a lot.
Recalling that in September last year, Wu Zhong was still not good at walking, and he couldn't speak a sentence. He needed two servants to do things for him.
But since Mrs. Wang came, she didn't like someone to follow her, and when she didn't need it on a daily basis, she only let the servants go outside.
So Wu Zhong began to do everything by himself.
Facing a room of blood relatives, he was no longer ashamed because of his strange walking posture and speech.
With a good mentality and active training, the old man is now ruddy and energetic, and he is completely different from half a year ago.
This time, the banquet was held in the palace because of Gu Ye, so Wu Zhong himself said that he would participate without waiting for Wang to speak.
With the addition of Wu'an, who had not been to the palace, the family set off neatly.
Gu Yin told Song Shiliu to look after the house, so she was a few steps behind the others.
When she came out, she saw Wang raised her hand to hit Wu Qingyi.
Wu Qingyi wore a strong navy blue suit, with a golden crown on his head, just standing there, he had an aura of Yuanding Yuezhi.
But as soon as Wang raised his hand, Wu Qingyi subconsciously turned his head to hide, and the momentum disappeared immediately.
Gu Yin saw it as funny, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm going out now, why does my mother still beat people?"
"No, no, I just saw a bug on his face." Wang glared at Wu Qingyi while explaining.
Yesterday, she specially gave Wu Qingyi and Gu Yin a chance to be alone.
After returning, Gu Yin slept in the carriage, and after getting down, her hairpins were messed up and she was lazy.
Wang Shi was overjoyed when he saw it at that time!
But not long after Gu Ye came back, talking about the affairs in the palace, Wang shi didn't care to inquire about what happened between the young couple.
When he went out this morning, Mr. Wang naturally had to ask how far his son and daughter-in-law had progressed.
Mentioning what happened yesterday, Wu Qingyi had a gentle smile on his lips.
Wang Shi also laughed, and urged: "Don't patronize giggling, hurry up!"
Wu Qingyi said that yesterday, he helped Gu Yin straighten her hair, straighten the pearl earrings, and held her hand.
After listening to Wang Shi with a smile, he asked, "What else?"
"And she said that she was tired, and we lay in one place."
"Lie... in one place." Wang Shi was so excited that his lips began to tremble.
Wu Qingyi nodded and continued: "The carriage was bumpy, so I put a pillow on her. She slept on the pillow."
Wang's excitement faded in an instant, "Can't you just support her with bumps? Do you still need a pillow?"
As soon as he said this, Wu Qingyi looked suddenly enlightened.
Yeah, wouldn't he just act as a human flesh cushion? And what's with that pillow
The appearance of this pair just reacted, and the really angry Wang shi couldn't help raising his hand.
How can you be so dumb? In what year can they expect them to hold a child? Wang Shi got on the carriage with a gloomy face.
…
The family took two carriages to the gate of the palace, Wu Zhong and Wu Qingyi went to the former court, and Gu Yin and Wang Shi took Wu An into the harem.
The venue for the banquet this time was still in the Cining Palace, but unlike the last time, the Queen Mother did not hide this time, and waited early.
It was neither too early nor too late for Gu Yin and the others. The Queen Mother was sitting on the side of Empress Zhou and Feng Guifei, and there were also a number of foreign women gathered, who were chatting lively.
Gu Yin and Mrs Wang stepped forward to salute, and the Queen Mother Wang immediately waived their salute, and winked at Mrs. Wang, then smiled at Wu An: "This is your second child, right? He looks so smart, come forward quickly. Let me take a good look."
Now we all know that Gu Ye was raised in the British mansion before, and it is normal for the Queen Mother to be close to her family.
The other foreign women followed the Queen Mother and praised Wu An.
Wu An is shy and introverted, but after being in the capital for so long, his personality has become much brighter.
Being pushed in front of the people by the Wang family, Wu An was a little shy, but he went up to the front and saluted the Queen Mother again.
The queen mother asked him about his age, hobbies, and what books he had read.
Wu An replied fluently, and also mentioned that he had read the books of Kaimeng, but he had not started reading the Four Books and Five Classics.
The queen mother wanted to make a face for him, but unfortunately she didn't know a lot of characters, and she couldn't get into Wu'an, so she looked at a female relative beside her.
That is Mrs. Hou of Yunyang Hou's Mansion. She came from an aristocratic family.
Mrs. Yunyang Hou sold the face of the Queen Mother and asked two paragraphs from "Zengguang Xianwen" and "Disciple Guidance".
Wu An not only recited it immediately, but also learned that now not only can he memorize it, but he can even explain the meaning of it.
At his age, who can learn to this level, who can believe that he is only five or six years old
The children of the aristocratic family who have been enlightened at the age of two or three have learned that it is no more than that.
For a time, praises such as "prodigy" and "natural talent" were heard endlessly.
Concubine Feng, who was on the side, was disdainful in her heart, but because of the occasions like today, and because the British government has gone further than before, she naturally did not dare to say anything.
At this stall, Lu Xu's loud cries came in.
Concubine Feng immediately recognized that it was her own son's cry, and her face changed immediately.
The servants of the Cining Palace naturally wouldn't stop Lu Xu, and after a while, the little guy ran in while crying.
Feng Guifei hurriedly stood up to greet her, "My son, isn't it time to study at the Wenhua Palace? Why did you come over crying?"
Lu Xu ran all the way from Wenhua Hall to here. In fact, there were no tears for a long time, only fake crying.
But when asked by his mother, Lu Xu felt aggrieved, and the big tears rolled out again. He pointed to his mouth and said, "Mother, someone beat me!"
"Who dares to beat you so boldly? The gentlemen your father found for you?"
Lu Xu shook his head and said no, "Lu Lie hit me."
"How can King Lie be like this..." Concubine Feng Gui was extremely annoyed, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of others, she just hugged Lu Xu and cried.
The mother and son were crying together in the Cining Palace, how pitiful they looked!
The other foreign women witnessed such a lively scene. Although they didn't say anything to join in, but in fact, they were already thinking together in their hearts, this emperor's eldest son is living outside. Although it was said yesterday that he was very well behaved, but he really did. Would a well-behaved child hit his brother at this time
The Queen Mother was so overwhelmed by their crying that she hurriedly asked, "Why did your brother beat you?"
Lu Xu sobbed and said, "I don't know, I was talking to him, and he suddenly started."
Concubine Feng hurriedly added fuel to her jealousy: "Alas, my son, he is a brother and you are a younger brother. You are old and young in an orderly manner. If he beats you, you can only suffer. It's just that your father and emperor are not willing to move a finger from you, I'm afraid it is you. Are you terrified?"
The two are grandsons, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. The Queen Mother was not good at handling such things. The mother and son cried one and two big, so she said: "Okay, don't cry. Let the imperial grandmother. Look where you got hit."
Lu Xu was about to go over when Feng Guifei embraced Lu Xu and said, "It's alright, it's just a minor injury."
However, the more frightened she was, the more powerful and frightening Gu Ye, the eldest son of the emperor who had just returned to the palace, seemed.
Empress Zhou said, "Children are not good at playing around, this palace is here for Ali..."
Empress Zhou was about to apologize to Gu Ye, when Gu Yin said, "Poor Your Highness, running from Wenhua Palace to Cining Palace, it takes at least two quarters of an hour. Poor girl, your calf is sore. ."
As soon as these words were said, everyone came back to their senses. Yes, this Wenhua Palace was in the previous dynasty and was the closest to Yangxin Palace. The little prince was beaten, shouldn't he go to Yangxin Palace to find Emperor Zhengyuan to preside over justice? Why did you come all the way to the harem
When Lu Xu heard this, he said, "Yes, I'm so tired. I was going to go to the royal father's place, but the nanny and the others said..."
She didn't finish what she said later, and told his mother, Feng Guifei, to cover her mouth.
But what is there to hear here
It was the nanny and the palace maid who instigated Lu Xu to come here to complain.
As for why this is so, of course it is easy to understand.
The previous Emperor Zhengyuan had to deal with government affairs first, and then entertain his courtiers, unlike the harem's family, who had already started to gather together to talk.
Even if the child's troubles are reported to Emperor Zhengyuan, he can suppress the matter with a few words.
And if you tell the Queen Mother, everyone who comes to the banquet will know about it, and it will make things bigger.
Concubine Feng said, "It is normal for a child to find his mother when he is wronged, so why do you think about it?"
Gu Yin immediately said: "Why did the noble concubine say this, the court lady didn't say anything, she just felt sorry for Your Highness."
Feng Guifei originally wanted to press her head and ask Queen Zhou to make amends for herself in front of others, but now Gu Yin has spoken. She is the adoptive mother of the emperor's eldest son, so it would be the same if she spoke.
Feng Guifei didn't go to see Empress Zhou anymore, but said to Gu Yin: "If the general's wife is really apologetic, she might as well apologize directly to King Lie. After all, it's just a child's play, so if you apologize, the matter is over. "
"My lady is generous."
The corners of Feng Guifei's mouth were slightly raised, but she listened to her again: "But others don't know about King Lie's temperament, but the courtiers know it. Although he lives abroad, he has a good temperament since he was a child. The person who started, the third highness is young and can't explain clearly, it is better to invite His Royal Highness Lie King over and let him explain."
Feng Guifei said angrily: "You would also say that our Xu'er is young. Children of his age are already naughty, but no matter what he said, King Lie shouldn't do anything to his younger brother. Let us adults say a few words, even if we expose it. Now, Mrs. General insists on inviting King Lie over again, is she afraid of making things worse? Don't you regret it!"
Gu Yin had great trust in her cubs.
Although he is indeed used to being wild, he has made so many friends that he has never heard of anyone doing it.
Since he made a move, it must have happened for a reason, and Lu Xu should fight.
Of course she wasn't afraid to speak up.
At this moment, the eunuch outside sang: "Your Majesty is here!"
Emperor Zhengyuan led the palace servants over, and Gu Ye and Feng Yu followed.
Everyone in the hall stood up to say goodbye.
Emperor Zhengyuan excused everyone from the ceremony and sat beside the Queen Mother.
Since he's here, this matter is officially a big deal, and it's not something that can be revealed in a few words.
Concubine Feng was delighted in her heart, but her face was full of fear, and she said: "It's just a joke among the children, why did you disturb Your Majesty? It's the concubines who are incapable of discipline, please forgive me."
Emperor Zhengyuan was really busy before, but he heard Qian Sansi mention it later, saying that there seemed to be trouble in the Wenhua Palace.
He didn't take it seriously, saying it was just a kid playing around.
But he didn't think about it. He hadn't finished his official business, and he heard Qian Sansi say that Lu Xu ran to the Cining Palace crying.
If he doesn't care anymore, I am afraid that the foreign wife who came to the banquet will know that the eldest son has just recovered his identity and will do something to the younger brother.
He just started to drive, and met Gu Ye and Feng Yu on the way.
At that time, Gu Ye regretted after beating Lu Xu, not because he regretted his actions, but when he saw Lu Xu crying so loudly, he thought that he had not controlled his strength and really broke him.
He and Feng Yu chased after him, but Lu Xu was surrounded by the nurse and the palace servants and left.
Both of them thought that Lu Xu should go to Emperor Zhengyuan to complain, so they went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but they didn't think that Lu Xu didn't go there at all.
Emperor Zhengyuan's face was not very good, but it was not that he was already psychologically judging who was right and who was wrong, but he simply felt that such a small thing could not be more small and ruined the atmosphere of this great day, and felt that it was a disappointment.
When he asked, Gu Ye immediately pleaded guilty: "It was indeed the son who moved his hand on his brother, but the son really didn't put much effort into making him cry. Please punish him."
Gu Ye recognized it so smoothly, Concubine Feng Gui glanced at Gu Yin triumphantly, then changed her face, crying pear blossom said with rain: "Your Highness, I don't know, children have the most tender faces, even if A Xu If it upsets you, you shouldn't hit him in the face. Let's not talk about whether it hurts or not, even if you are a palace servant, as long as you have some face, the master won't touch the face..."
The so-called face-to-face, slap in the face is tantamount to humiliation.
"That's right, that's right!" Lu Xu followed in a childish voice, "The concubine doesn't beat the palace maids..."
Xiao Lu Xu's mouth was covered by Concubine Feng again.
Gu Ye apologized again and again, and glanced at Gu Yin as he spoke.
Gu Yin understood, stepped forward and knelt down, "It's the minister's wife who has not been well educated these years, and I ask Your Majesty to punish her."
After speaking, he said sadly: "His Royal Highness Lie, how can you slap the face of the Younger Highness? If there is anything wrong with him, you should report it to His Highness!"
Gu Ye followed with a look of regret: "What you taught is that you mentioned Eunuch Qian in the middle of your speech, listen to what A Xu has to say..." Having said this, Gu Ye stopped abruptly, "Anyway, it's a very harsh word, so that's why I said it. He patted his mouth with his hands."
Xiao gradually felt uncomfortable being covered by her mother's mouth, and finally broke free, proudly looking at Gu Ye, who had been begging for guilt: "What am I saying, the eunuch is a neutered dog!"
This is going to be said before, and no one will really say anything.
But the eunuchs of the new dynasty have not done anything bad, especially the great eunuch Qian Sansi, who is also the hero of the founding of the country!
If he is a complete person, although he won't be crowned as a prince like the Wu and Feng families, he can always be a marquis and earl.
Moreover, if Qian Sansi is a stray dog with a bad heart like the previous dynasty, and Emperor Zhengyuan still believes in him so much, then what kind of person is he? The same faint-hearted emperor as the former emperor
Emperor Zhengyuan changed his face immediately.
Qian Sansi immediately grabbed the ground with his head, "It's all slaves, right
When the other eunuchs in the hall saw him kneeling as the leader, they also knelt down and pleaded guilty.
For a time, the hall was very "lively".
Emperor Zhengyuan personally helped Qian Sansi up, and then called Gu Yedao: "King Lie also get up."
Gu Ye frowned and got up with a face of remorse.
In the end, Emperor Zhengyuan closed his eyes and smiled angrily: "It's just a small matter, the child quarreled and moved his hands, so that everyone can see a joke."
After saying that, he took the people back to the front.
Lu Xu unconvincedly pulled Feng Guifei's sleeves and shook it, and muttered, "What's going on with the royal father? That's it? Concubine Mother, Concubine Mother..."
The expression on Feng Guifei's face is not to mention wonderful.
As Emperor Zhengyuan's pillow for many years, she naturally found that although Emperor Zhengyuan didn't show his face, she was really angry!
How dare she say anything, she covered Lu Xu's mouth again, and said with a dry smile, "Ben Gong said that it's not a big deal, so I won't mention it anymore."
Later, by requesting the imperial doctor for Lu Xu, Concubine Feng did not eat the luncheon and left directly.
The two princes, one was raised by his parents since childhood, but he was open-mouthed and only knew how to cry, and the other, although he was out of the house and touched his younger brother, was for a reason. Immediately.
As long as it's not too stupid, after watching this lively event, everyone already has a sense of proportion.
…
Later that day, the banquet was over.
Gu Ye stayed for a while, took Qian Sansi aside, and apologized to him.
Gu Ye said frankly and honestly: "The third brother thought that I had bullied his mother and concubine because of what happened yesterday. A Yu said that he could ask the father-in-law to testify, so he would speak like that. But in the end, it was because of me that the father-in-law let the father-in-law testify. He was scolded for no reason."
In fact, there is no need for Gu Ye to explain anything. In this palace, the most well-informed person is actually not Emperor Zhengyuan, nor Wu Qingyi. But as the head of the eunuch Qian Sansi.
There are also palace servants in Wenhua Hall. As early as when Lu Xu first started crying, Qian Sansi got the news.
He could have asked someone to stop Lu Xu early, and then notified Emperor Zheng Yuan to end the farce.
But he didn't move, so he let Lu Xu go, and reported it to Emperor Zheng Yuan a while later.
At his age, Lu Xu didn't have any ideas of his own, he just learned from adults.
Concubine Feng has taught him this way these days. When Qian Sansi was instructed to block Concubine Feng and prevent her from entering and leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation at will, Concubine Feng did not dare to say anything about Emperor Zhengyuan in private, so she scolded Qian Sansi to the bottom of it. drop.
It's okay to say that he is jealous, but this is an opportunity that Qian Sansi has been waiting for for a long time.
If there was anything unexpected, it was probably because Qian Sansi didn't expect Gu Ye to protect him like this, and he didn't want to repeat the extremely unpleasant title in Lu Xu's mouth when he was defending in front of others. If Lu Xu hadn't said it again, he would have really suffered from this dumb loss and ruined his reputation.
Of course, if no one mentions it in the end, Qian Sansi will ask other eunuchs to mention it.
But Gu Ye did this, and it still made his heart feel uneasy.
So Qian Sansi immediately bowed back and said, "Why did His Royal Highness King Lie say this? The servants all said that it was the servant who caused the trouble. Your Highness listened to the servant's advice, why should a servant like the servant come back to protect him? …”
"It's the same again next time." Gu Ye said, and laughed again, "Father said that you are a good person. If it weren't for an accident, now you and my uncle are the same."
Qian Sansi's eyes were hot, he turned his back and wiped it, and said, "It's getting late, Your Highness, go back and rest. The servant will send you off."
Gu Ye said "Hey", waved at him with a smile, and followed the eunuch who played the lantern and left.
He walked on the front foot, and Feng Guifei came over on the back foot.
It's embarrassing to say that she scolded Qian Sansi so mercilessly before kissing her son, and then she had to ask Qian Sansi to pass it on with her hot face.
Fortunately, Qian Sansi was not in a dilemma. His attitude was as respectful as before, and he replied, "Your Majesty, wait a moment. Your Majesty has been drinking too much. He just drank the drinking soup and is resting."
On the night of early spring, the wind was freezing, and when he saw Feng Guifei's thin clothes, Qian Sansi said again: "Why is the maiden wearing such thin clothes? If it hurts the body, it would be bad!" He then sent people to Yonghe Palace to get Feng Guifei's cloak. Come, and then invite her to a sheltered place graciously and warmly, and have someone bring a chair.
Feng Guifei took advantage of them one by one, and thanked him politely, but she said in her heart that it is rootless, and men are not counted. It can be said that he knows how to judge the situation and how much he weighs.
After being greeted by Concubine Feng Gui, Qian Sansi entered the hall.
Emperor Zhengyuan closed his eyes and rested for a quarter of an hour, and when he woke up, he saw Qian Sansi refilling his tea lightly.
"Hey," Emperor Zhengyuan sighed, "Think again, it's because of my lack of discipline, I'm sorry for you."
Qian Sansi hurriedly said: "The king lied in front of the same rhetoric as His Majesty, but he is really a slave!"
"That kid also apologized to you?" The corner of Emperor Zheng Yuan's mouth raised slightly.
"Isn't that right? Your Highness King Lie told you to treat heroes with kindness. I don't despise servants because of their physical defects."
"He does remember what I said." The smile on Emperor Zhengyuan's face grew thicker.
"The noble concubine is outside asking to see you," Qian Sansi reported respectfully. "It's even more serious. The lady has been waiting for a long time. I think she has an urgent matter."
Of course, Concubine Feng came to admit her mistake. Emperor Zhengyuan knew it, and she was not too stupid to think about it.
"You," Zheng Yuandi glanced at him, "Axu learned the words from her, why don't you know you're angry?"
Qian Sansi smiled in a good-natured manner, "Your Highness is young and ignorant, and treats the servants as eunuchs like the previous dynasty. Besides, it's nothing to be scolded by servants like this. Your Majesty, please don't do it for the servants. It hurts the harmony of the family, and the servant will really feel sorry for it."
Qian Sansi knows how to advance and retreat like this, and Emperor Zhengyuan, who wants to be kind to his heroes, naturally has to give him face.
So he did not let Feng Guifei come in, but got up and went out.
He wanted to let Concubine Feng admit her mistake in front of others, bow her head, and if he warned Concubine Feng again, this matter would be over.
Emperor Zhengyuan walked outside the hall, but saw that there was no one in front of the hall, and in the windshield under the porch, Feng Guifei sat on a small armrest chair with carved dragon pattern of rosewood padded with cushions. Silver-white background, emerald-patterned cloak, silver fox, light fur cloak, and holding a gilt silver and hundred-flower incense burner in hand, a cloisonné enamel hand burner, a water of candied dried fruits and melon seeds desserts on the low table at hand, and even a group of little eunuchs were ordered round and round. …
Is this called admitting a mistake? !
