Wei Luo didn't know what these women were thinking. She heard that people from the British government were also invited to be guests today. I'm here too, I don't know if I can see them later.
Although Wei Luo had only been married not long ago, she had grown up with her relatives since she was a child, and if she didn't see her for a few days, she would always miss her dearly.
However, this Princess Yong'an was very enthusiastic, not only ordered the servant girl to bring melon and fruit snacks, but also invited her and Gao Wan'er to play horse hanging together. Wei Luo wasn't very interested. The two things that aroused her interest now, one was about Zhao Jie, and the other was about her family. What's more, she has never played a horse-sling before, and she always feels that it is something that a gossiping woman would do. While playing a horse-sling, she talks about who's right and wrong. So he shook his head and said, "Go ahead, I'll watch from the sidelines."
Gao Wan'er was already sitting behind the beech wood and gold-painted flat table, she looked at Wei Luo and said, "It's so boring, come and play with us, sister-in-law, I'm really good at this."
Wei Luo smiled, "Really? Then I won't dare to play anymore. If I lose to you, I will lose face as a sister-in-law."
"What's the matter? I'll leave it to you." Gao Wan'er dragged Wei Luo and sat on the horse hanging table. There were four players in a round, except for Gao Wan'er and Wei Luo, the other two were Princess Yong'an and Gao Qingyang.
There are a total of 40 cards in Ma Diao, including four suits of 100,000 Guan, Wan Guan, Suo Zi and Wen Qian. Gao Wan'er was lucky, in the first round she was the dealer, Princess Yong'an deliberately let her go, Wei Luo was at a loss for the moment, only Gao Qingyang blocked her, and in the end, Gao Wan'er, the dealer, won.
Gao Wan'er collected the chips, and said with a smile: "Is this the first time for the emperor's sister-in-law to play? I see that your hands are very raw."
Wei Luo was also honest, nodded and said, "I've never played this before."
Gao Wan'er's bet was big, and the others would follow her, but Wei Luo thought it was nothing, and Princess Yong'an was feeling a little bit pained. This housewife has a fixed amount of expenses every month, even the princess is the same, not to mention that it is a declining family like the Yongan Palace, which looks good on the outside but is struggling on the inside.
Wei Luo gradually found the feeling that she was already smart and learned things quickly, and the situation gradually turned to her side. After Wei Luo won three rounds in a row, Gao Wan'er's expression became a little anxious.
In the last round, Gao Wan'er asked the maid to put all the chips on the table, including a small jasper fish, a pair of jade bracelets and two South Sea pearls. She said: "If sister-in-law can win this round, these things will be given to you."
Wei Luo didn't plan to play anymore at first, and she didn't care about her chips, but when she thought about the money she had lost earlier, she sat back again and said, "Okay, let's play the last one."
In the last round, Wei Luo sat in the dealership, and Gao Qingyang sat next to Wei Luo. Gao Qingyang also played very well. There were two critical moments when it was Gao Danyang's turn to play cards. She played small cards, and Wei Luo easily suppressed them. . There is no doubt that Wei Luo won this round, Gao Wan'er complained a little: "Sister Qing, why did you play some small cards? Who are you with?"
Gao Qingyang gave all the chips to Wei Luo, and said calmly, "At that time, there were only small cards left in my hand."
Wei Luo won a lot of money, and turned to look at Gao Qingyang who was beside her. She used to think that this girl was Gao Danyang's younger sister, and hadn't paid much attention to her. Looking at it now, Gao Qingyang's appearance is not inferior to Gao Danyang's at all. Her skin is like creamy fat, her apricot face and peach cheeks are even more beautiful than Gao Danyang's.
Wei Luo searched in her mind, and remembered that when Zhao Liuli was born when she was six years old, she and Liang Yurong went up to the Xinyan Tower, and there was a little girl in the Xinyan Tower posing a picture of "Big Wild Wild Goose Flying South" with peanuts. When Liang Yurong took her peanuts, she glared at them angrily. They knew each other at that time, but they haven't met since then.
After the crowd dispersed, some went to throw pots to write poems, and some chatted and admired the flowers. Gao Qingyang wanted to play pitching pots, and Wei Luo wanted to meet Wei Kun and Wei Changhong, so they went down the attic together. In the stairwell, Wei Luo said to Gao Qingyang, "Miss Gao, why did you let me in?"
Gao Qingyang turned her head and was slightly taken aback.
Wei Luo smiled brightly, "I saw it just now, you have a ten thousand guan and a million guan in your hand, if you play these two, I may not be able to win." She said "I may not be able to win" instead of "" I can't win." Wei Luo was quite confident in herself.
Gao Qingyang was silent for a while, and said inappropriately: "Wangfei peeked at the card of the minister?"
Wei Luo shook her head, she didn't do such dirty things, "I paid attention when you put the cards back into the deck just now, and I happened to see these two cards."
Gao Qingyang's face softened for a while, and then she became a little subtle, and she narrowed her eyes and said: "My daughter just thinks that the princess is playing horse hanging for the first time, so she should let you down."
Wei Luo liked this answer very much. Gao Wan'er said at first that she would let her go, but when she sat at the poker table, she forgot everything and only cared about winning happiness for herself. It's really not common for people like Gao Qingyang to release water silently. At least it proves that this person is very careful, low-key, and not busy taking credit.
Wei Luo walked downstairs with her. Under the plum blossom tree not far ahead, several girls and teenagers formed a circle and threw arrows into the blue and white porcelain vase with the dragon pattern in the middle. Seeing a familiar figure, Wei Luo regained his energy immediately. He saw Wei Changhong sitting under a plum tree, leaning against the trunk, surrounded by colorful fallen flowers and raining petals. He held a feather arrow and pointed it at the mouth of the bottle. , and threw it into the mouth of the bottle with a flick of the hand.
Several young girls around looked at him secretly, but he didn't respond at all, and his expression was calm and calm. It is precisely because of this aloof temperament that the girls are fascinated even more. The more he ignores people, the more the girls want to provoke him.
It's just that a noble girl has a certain reserve in her bones, coupled with the upbringing she has received since she was a child, even if she wants to provoke her, she only dares to sneak a few glances.
Wei Changhong raised his head and saw Wei Luo at the door of the attic, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said to the son of the official servant beside him, "Excuse me."
The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials refused to let him go, and insisted that he finish the round. He frowned, and there were three arrows left in his hand, so he threw all three arrows into the mouth of the bottle in one go. Before the people around him came back to their senses, he had already turned and left.
On the other side, Wei Luo was about to move forward, but a goose-yellow figure rushed out from nowhere, came to Wei Luo, and said angrily, "Wei Luo, stop!" Before Wei Luo could react, she raised her hand and He hit Wei Luo fiercely.
Wei Luo tilted her head and met Li Xiang's red and sullen eyes.
Wei Luo's body subconsciously leaned back. Gao Qingyang quickly grabbed Li Xiang's hand and frowned, "Li Xiang, why are you crazy?"
No one from Ruyang Palace was invited to the banquet today, but Li Xiang insisted on breaking in, and it was difficult for servants to stop her, so he just turned a blind eye and let her in.
Li Xiang seemed to have been stimulated by something, and stared at Wei Luo with hatred: "Is it you? You must have encouraged Cousin Prince Jing to frame my father. My father is now in prison, and his life and death are uncertain. Are you happy?" ?”
What nonsense. Although Wei Luo didn't know the inside story, what Zhao Jie wanted to do was never something she could influence. She looked at Li Xiang expressionlessly, and asked coldly: "Your father is in prison, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Xiang's expression was a little crazy, he didn't care and said: "Why is it okay? My father was wronged, he didn't hide weapons, and he didn't have the intention of treason, it was Prince Jing's cousin who deliberately framed him..."
King Ruyang hid a large number of weapons in Changnan Mountain in Xuzhou, and was found by the local magistrate. All the stolen goods were seized, and now he has been escorted back to Beijing, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to dispose of him. The people in the Li family only got the news yesterday. Li Xiang heard it from nowhere, and believed that the prefect of Xuzhou belonged to Zhao Jie. Didn't he just find out that Wei Luo was in Yong'an Palace, so he rushed over here.
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to grab Wei Luo, acting like a crazy woman who wanted to fight Wei Luo desperately. Gao Qingyang couldn't restrain her, but fortunately Wei Changhong came over in time, grabbed her wrist, threw her to the ground, and said coldly: "Crazy woman, talk nonsense!"
Li Xiang's head happened to hit the flowerpot beside her, and the flowerpot cracked, and her forehead was cut and bleeding came out.
Li Xiang's maid helped her up, wiped her tears and persuaded: "Miss, let's go back..." Don't be ashamed here.
After being thrown like this, Li Xiang really calmed down a bit, stood up staggeringly and glared at Wei Luo and Wei Changhong, "You wait, I'll go beg the empress, my father will be fine."
She came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, until the figure was gone, and the others were still in shock.
With such a big commotion, Zhao Jie couldn't hide it.
Princess Yong'an invited Wei Luo into the flower hall, apologizing to her repeatedly, with a guilty look on her face: "It's because I didn't manage the family strictly, and people offended the princess. Check the pulse of the princess, lest you be frightened."
Wei Luo was actually fine, with Gao Qingyang helping and Chang Hong standing in front of her, Li Xiang didn't hurt her at all.
Just curious, did something really happen to King Ruyang? Zhao Jie seldom talked to her about court affairs, Wei Luo didn't know much about it, if Li Xiang hadn't come to her and told her, she really didn't know about it.
Princess Yong'an ordered someone to punish the servant who was guarding the gate today, and asked the doctor to take Wei Luo's pulse to make sure that Wei Luo was fine, before she let out a long sigh of relief.
For a cruel and ruthless person like Prince Jing, if he knew that something happened to Concubine Jing in Anyang Palace, then her family of hundreds of people would die.
Even though they thought so, Princess Yong'an and Gao Wan'er did not expect that Zhao Jie would come here in person.
Zhao Jie must have just come back from the outside, before he could go back to his residence, he was wearing a brocade robe with black and blue embroidered gold edging, and a jade sash hook around his waist. He frightened the women in the flower hall so much that they didn't dare to breathe. He wandered around the room with his black eyes, stopped on Wei Luo, and walked towards Wei Luo.
Princess Yong'an came back to her senses and hurriedly led the crowd to salute: "I will see His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
Zhao Jie ignored it.
The people around thought that he was going to get angry, or slap Wei Luo to death, after all, his complexion was really not very good-looking.
Gao Wan'er couldn't help but said: "I can't blame the emperor's wife for this matter, it was the girl from the Li family who forced her way in, said a lot of nonsense, and offended the emperor's wife..."
The next moment, Gao Wan'er shut up.
Because Zhao Jie came to Wei Luo, gently supported her cheek with his big hand, and asked cautiously, "Li Xiang slapped you?"
Wei Luo nodded, raised her big wet eyes, "But Chang Hong and Miss Gao helped me, she didn't hit me." Remembering Li Xiang's words, she held his wrist, blinked and said, "Let's go home and talk about it." .”
Zhao Jie nodded. When he came here just now, there was an autumn rain. The rain was not heavy, but it was quite cool. Worried that Wei Luo would be freezing, he took off his black fur cloak and wrapped it around Wei Luo, and tied it with a ribbon. When Princess Yong'an was beside her, she said: "Thank you for your hospitality today, and this king and princess are taking their leave."
Both Princess Yong'an and Gao Wan'er were stunned, Princess Yong'an bent her knees and said, "Respectfully send off Your Highness Prince Jing, respectfully send off Your Highness Prince Jing."
Who said Prince Jing was not good to Princess Jing? That's simply not good enough.
Gao Wan'er looked at the back of the two leaving, feeling a little complicated.
Zhao Jie personally supported a double-ring oil-paper umbrella, with one hand protecting Wei Luo's waist. Wei Luo seemed to have sensed it, and pushed the umbrella towards him, but it couldn't be pushed, and he didn't know what Wei Luo said later, so he was willing to move the edge of the umbrella towards him, but most of the umbrella was still there. Block Wei Luo. As if it was the treasure in his palm, he didn't want her to be exposed to the rain, she couldn't bear to be exposed to the cold, and even more reluctant to let her suffer a little bit of grievance.
Gao Wan'er thought of Li Xiang's actions today, and then thought of Li Xiang's words today, she couldn't help but tighten her handkerchief.
