... No matter how many twists and turns there were, Princess Linchuan's birthday party finally came to an end.
Concubine Deng didn't know whether she was angry or planning to file a complaint. Just before the banquet ended, she excused herself to go to the Imperial Study Room to see the Emperor and left first. Everyone wanted to send the concubine off respectfully. Of course, Deng Wanwan and Wei Changying had no one to accompany them, so they naturally returned to the table under Danqi. When they left, Wei Changying took the opportunity to take a look - this young lady from the Deng family had a pair of curves with the same name. She has eyebrows that are as curved as the moon, and her eyes are big and bright, perhaps because of her age. Her cheeks are plump, without makeup, with a natural blush, and she looks a little shy.
Originally, Concubine Deng Guifei and Deng Zongqi were both equally born, so Wei Changying was not surprised that Deng Wanwan would be a pretty little beauty. It's just that after she arrived in the imperial capital, the young girls she saw, such as Shen Zangning, Su Yufei, and Su Yuyin, were beautiful, but they all liked to wear different makeup and dressed up in a really messy way.
When she first saw Deng Wanwan with her face turned upside down, she felt that it was so pleasing to the eye... She immediately thought of her cousin Wei Chang'e who lived far away in Fengzhou. The two girls didn't look alike, but they were of the same type: She is not the most beautiful, gorgeous or noble, but she is comfortable no matter how she looks.
Wei Changying secretly smiled, could it be that Song Zaishui also rarely saw a young but simple and elegant lady after arriving in the imperial capital, so he particularly liked Deng Wanwan
Thinking of Mrs. Su's usual appearance of being so angry at Shen Zangning, Wei Changying quickly pursed his lips to stop his smile. She had returned to Mrs. Su at this time. Because the banquet was about to end, she no longer asked the palace people to join the banquet. Next, Duanmu called her clan sister Duanmu Wuse to join the banquet to talk, and Liu called to the Wei Chief Yinghe. Sit together by yourself.
If he laughed and was seen by Mr. Liu, he would inevitably have to explain himself.
However, although Mrs. Liu did not see the sudden smile on her lips, after she sat down, she turned sideways and asked her in a low voice: "Third brother and sister, you just went to Qianqiu Pavilion, right?"
When Mrs. Liu asked this, Wei Changying understood who she was going to ask, and said, "Sister-in-law, are you going to ask sister Ruoyu? I saw her just now when I entered Qianqiu Pavilion, but I didn't know that the eldest young lady of our hall was looking for her." I went out to say a few words, but when I came back I found that she was missing. Why didn't sister Ruoyu come back to the palace during this time? "
"No!" Mrs. Liu's expression changed slightly and she said, "How could this happen? Didn't she just fall and bump into it somewhere?" Then she asked, "Who was she with at that time? But Ruoye?"
Wei Changying comforted him: "This is Weiyang Palace, where the Empress's bedroom is. How could something happen? Even if you fall and bump into each other, it's impossible that you won't be able to find help from the palace staff." Although she didn't mention Liu Ruoye, her words The meaning is also very clear. Although Liu Ruoye has no good intentions towards Liu Ruoyu, the Liu family still hopes to marry this daughter who is the first wife to the licentious prince. At this juncture, Liu Ruoye After hurting Liu Ruoyu, the legitimate daughters in the other rooms of the Liu family must have been unwilling to marry the prince, so it was Liu Ruoyu's turn who had no mother's protection and no father's favor. By then, it is possible that Liu Ruoye planned to marry the prince himself to give the royal family a chance. Explain
Liu Ruoye is not a fool, how could he do such a thing? Whoever wants to harm Liu Ruoyu now, she can only help to stop them.
Mrs. Liu heard what she meant, sighed, and said, "This child has never been such a wandering person who never returns to the table!"
Wei Changying thought that although this sister-in-law was thoughtful, she remembered the kindness of the fifth aunt deeply. Listening to this tone, she almost raised Liu Ruoyu as a daughter. After pondering for a moment, she said: "Maybe the pomegranate flowers I have today are so beautiful." , Sister Ruoyu forgot about Chen Guang."
"... That's true." Mrs. Liu's expression darkened when she heard this. Pomegranate... After this affair, the identity of Crown Princess Liu Ruoyu was almost determined. You know, today Weiyang Palace is full of pomegranate trees. , looking at the joy, in Liu Ruoyu's eyes, it was like her talisman, it was strange to be happy.
According to this cousin's temperament, it's not strange to hide in any corner and cry... Mrs. Liu felt sad and worried: "We are almost gone, and Ruoyu hasn't come back yet, so I had to take my leave after a while and call the queen." If you notice, you will definitely be unhappy with her... Even if the queen doesn't notice, Ruoye and Zhang are both in the palace at this moment, can the mother and daughter remind the queen? "
She was worried when Wei Changying suddenly patted the back of her hand and motioned her to look at the side corner.
Mrs. Liu turned her head and looked over, and was overjoyed - it was Liu Ruoyu, who only brought a maid. The maid held two or three pomegranate flowers in her hands. Liu Ruoyu also picked up one. The master and servant walked back to the table in a graceful manner. . Liu Ruoyu didn't even look at Mrs. Liu, she just took the pomegranate branch in her hand and stuck it on Liu Ruoye's temple, and seemed to say something to her with a smile.
In full view of everyone, Liu Ruoye was of course very friendly to her sister. She reached out to touch the flowers and talked to Liu Ruoyu with a smile on her face... Seeing the harmonious appearance of their sisters, Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then said to herself: "This child ... "The unfinished meaning is probably that Mrs. Liu herself doesn't know what to say?"
Wei Changying was also a little surprised: "Liu Ruoyu seems to have changed a lot...but it's not surprising. Anyone who is forced into a desperate situation will always change."
Anyway, these two sisters can fight no matter how hard they fight. It's a good thing that Liu Ruoyu defeated Liu Ruoye in a fight. If they can't defeat him, Wei Changying doesn't care about doing it himself... She looked away and asked Mrs. Liu sideways: "Sister-in-law, the fourth sister and the others don't have it either. See you in the palace?"
Officer Liu was very surprised. When he heard this, he immediately said: "Third brother and sister, you don't know. Just now the fourth sister sent someone over to say that she was playing hide and seek with Princess Qingxin!"
He also pointedly said, "If the fourth sister hadn't told me, why would I not have asked the fourth sister first? But third brother and sister, you reminded me at the right time. The fourth sister hasn't come back yet, so I should send someone over." Just remind them, lest they forget Chen Guang."
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment before she realized it. She couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. In fact, she just didn't see Shen Zangning around and asked casually. Liu didn't want to think that this question was for Mrs. Su who was sitting next to her. In order to show that Liu valued her clan sister and didn't care about her sister-in-law, she immediately rounded up the question.
Knowing that Ms. Liu would not believe her even if she explained it, it would make her have ulterior motives even more. She was too lazy to be wordy and said, "But I don't know where the fourth sister and the others are playing? If the route is not complicated, just ask Qin Ge to go there." , Anyway, her legs and feet are fast.”
Qin Ge is a martial arts practitioner, and his steps are more agile than ordinary people.
Mrs. Liu did not grab the job, but turned her head and asked Mrs. Su. After a while, she conveyed Mrs. Su's words: "Just outside the hall to the east, there is a large group of young ladies. I think they will be easy to find."
Since it is easy to find, Qin Ge, who is entering the palace for the first time, is not afraid of not being able to find it. Wei Changying let her go - but he didn't want to. When Qin Ge came back, the queen was already saying the same things before leaving the banquet. Seeing that there was no one behind Qin Ge, Mrs. Su, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Duanmu were all shocked and said: "How is this going?"
Qin Ge said awkwardly: "My maid searched the east side for a long time, but except for the two palace servants who were weeding, I didn't see any young lady."
Mrs. Su asked in surprise: "Then have you asked the two palace ladies if they have seen Zang Ning and the others?" Because Shen Zang Ning has always been cunning and willful, Mrs. Su did not doubt that Qin Ge didn't look for it carefully, and directly confirmed it. Shen Zangning lied to herself, and her face became ugly...
"The maid asked, and the two palace men said that just now our fourth lady, the two young ladies from the Su family, and Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin did play there before. However, later Her Royal Highness Princess Qingxin said she wanted to go to the Imperial Garden. I saw lotus flowers inside, so I took all the ladies there."
Mrs. Su's face darkened - Wei Changying and Qin Ge didn't know, but she knew that the Imperial Garden was not close to Weiyang Palace. Even if Shen Zangning could be found by sending people to the Imperial Garden now, it would be too late to find her. Before the banquet was over, I brought someone back... Could this little daughter be an enemy in her previous life? Why can't I take a break every day without finding something to do, even entering the palace is no exception
She was very angry. The superiors also found out that Queen Gu, whose youngest daughter was missing, had a different identity. She searched the hall several times but couldn't find her, so she simply announced the banquet and prepared to look for her daughter again.
Seeing that neither the Queen nor Princess Linchuan had any intention of pursuing the absent person at this moment, Mrs. Su secretly wiped away the cold sweat and whispered to the wives: "Go and talk to the palace attendants at the door and call me back for that little evildoer! "
In fact, Mrs. Su is not the only one in the palace who is anxious now, and she is not the most anxious. After all, Mrs. Su knows where her daughter is. Poor Mrs. Zhang, the second wife of the Su family, almost tore the veil in her hand to pieces. She ordered her surroundings with a trembling voice: "Go and find out where these two things have gone?!"
The mother was anxious and angry, asking around and trying to notify her daughters to come back. Fortunately, Princess Qingxin was also concerned about the time. The ladies left the table one after another, and the group of people gathered around the princess and turned back triumphantly - they happened to bump into each other in front of the Weiyang Palace.
When Mrs. Su saw Shen Zangning, she was so angry! If Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu hadn't pulled her one by one, she would have gone up and rolled up their sleeves to beat their daughter. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu tried to persuade her again and again: "Mom, please calm down. This is the Weiyang Palace! Besides, today is still the last day." It’s a good day for Princess Sichuan. It doesn’t hurt for the fourth sister to relax sometimes... Are we the fourth sisters not the only ones who have been accompanying Princess Qingxin until now?”
Shen Zangning came closer and saw her sisters-in-law holding her mother tightly and not daring to let go. She also knew that her mother was really angry. Even if she didn't beat herself here, she would not get good results when she got home - after all, she often got into trouble. People like this are very familiar with avoiding disasters. As soon as they rolled their eyes, they came up to Mrs. Su, bowed, and whispered: "Mother, something doesn't seem to be going well."
Mrs. Su had a cold face and lowered her voice and said: "Don't worry. After you return to the house, you can carry your father and grandmother out. All your brothers and sisters-in-law are standing in front of you and they can't help you!"
When Shen Zangning heard this, she became anxious. She leaned into Mrs. Su's ear and whispered - Wei Changying was just planning to smooth things over when he saw Mrs. Su's face change drastically! He quickly searched around the crowd and immediately found his second sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang. Then he glanced at the two nieces who were also being scolded by Mrs. Zhang. His hands trembled slightly, but he didn't bother to scold Shen Zangning. He ordered: "Let's go back first, let's go!"
...What on earth did this sister-in-law say? How could it be so effective
Wei Changying glanced at Shen Zangning in surprise, only to see Shen Zangning grinning and jumping up and down to follow her mother, looking careless... (To be continued)
