Yuan Donglai, the legitimate daughter of Princess Qingfang and Huaiyuan Hou Yuanliu Guang, is younger than the three daughters of the Qi family, and will be eight years old next year.
She doesn't look like Princess Qingfang, but her features and eyes look very much like her father Yuan Liuguang's Yongxuan.
I don’t know if the child was afraid of life. At that time, Princess Qingfang pushed her over. She had a very reluctant look on her face. She saluted Sheng Weiqiao very reluctantly. She didn’t call her "aunt", but said: " He doesn’t ask for Ruyi, Ruyi is too heavy.”
"Good boy, can you give me the wrong bracelet?" Sheng Weiqiao saw the little girl's perfunctory behavior, but Bu Nao didn't take it to heart. After all, he had just walked in. How could such a big kid know how to hide it? How about making out with yourself immediately
As for Yuan Donglai's wrong request as a greeting gift, it reminded Sheng Weiqiao of the scene when his little cousin Sheng Weiwu asked for grilled fish in front of the Queen Mother. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and looked for a red gold garnet flower from the dressing table next to her. Give her the bracelet.
When Princess Qingfang saw her daughter taking the bracelet, she looked at it and said to her, "I don't want to thank my aunt properly. Is the wrong bracelet a good thing?"
"What's so surprising?" Unexpectedly, when Yuan Donglai heard this, he immediately threw the bracelet to the ground and said disdainfully, "Our family has almost too many bracelets. Who is in need of such a few?!"
"What are I kidding about?!" We were in a state of excitement when Yuan Donglai did this, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold. Sheng Weiqiao felt that he shouldn't argue with the child, but seeing that he had just kissed The greeting gift of leg selection was thrown in front of the feet, and the smile on the corner of the mouth could not help but shrink.
Princess Qingfang went to scold her daughter, "How can I ruin my aunt's good intentions?! Pick up his things quickly and apologize to my aunt properly! Otherwise, I'll see him go back and tell my dad to look good!"
Yuan Donglai didn't seem to be afraid of Princess Qingfang. She curled her lips when she heard the previous words. When she heard the request and told Yuan Liuguang, she showed fear. After hesitating for a while, she finally bent down to pick up the bracelet and wiped it randomly. Putting it into his sleeve, the aggrieved Sheng Weiqiao said, "I can't fault my aunt."
"Third brother and sister, that child was spoiled by him, I don't want to be as knowledgeable as her!" Princess Qingfang turned to Sheng Weiqiao to apologize, "After he returns, he must be strictly disciplined!"
Sheng Wei Qiaoxin said, "I beg you can discipline her strictly so that the little girl won't throw the things he gave her on the ground in front of him."
It’s understandable that Bu Nao thought about whether she was pampered without fear of shame. She smiled and said, “Sister, I’m serious. The child is very young. Don’t be too strict, so as not to scare her. Got it!"
At that time, Mrs. Qi had almost removed the hairpin ring for her, and was combing her long hair that almost reached the floor with a jade comb. After hearing this, she said: "We are all members of the same family. It's just a matter of getting over it." Oh...brothers and sisters, what kind of hair style should I have?"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't expect that her sister-in-law would not only help remove the hairpin ring, but also ask for help connecting Donglai's bun. She didn't dare to put forward various conditions like the instigator Donglai, so she said politely: "Sister-in-law, just comb it as you like. ?”
Mrs. Qi said with a smile: "Then he can do it for me according to his own eyes. I'll go back and ask if my third brother doesn't think it's good. Can he pretend that he didn't hear it and refuse to admit it?"
"What my sister-in-law said is that the third brother and sister look good, no matter how I make them look good." Princess Qingfang continued, "Actually, it's just because the third brother wronged the third brother and sister that she hurt her so much, why don't you mess with her?" After a lot of trouble, maybe Third Brother will see that everything is fine."
Sheng Weiqiao looked into the crystal mirror and smiled: "You two joined forces to bully him, you won't come anymore!"
While joking, Mrs. Qi quickly tied her up into a ponytail. She made it loose on purpose and fixed it with a long hairpin. She looked like she had just woken up from sleep, giving her a delicate and carefree look.
Princess Qingfang looked on and nodded: "Sister-in-law's dressing-up leg skills can't be mastered no matter how many times he learns them."
"There are many sisters in his family. When they are not out of the palace, they dress up for each other every day. The more they do it, the better they become." Qi said, "After marrying our eldest brother, he gave birth to three more girls in succession. Then Aren’t you going to dress them up again?”
Sheng Weiqiao laughed: "He said that Jian'an looks so neat and tidy. It turns out that my sister-in-law has beautiful legs."
Mrs. Qi and Princess Qingfang heard this and were about to answer the question. At that time, the door of the room was pushed open, but the host came to get some food from the kitchen.
The outer room used as the bridal chamber in the Prince's Mansion where Rong Suihe personally supervised the work was very spacious. Although there were couches, dressing tables, cabinets, screens and other items outside, it was still very spacious. In the open space, a round table made of rosewood, inlaid with marble and carved with melons and flowers of the four seasons was placed.
On the table is a jade pot spring vase that is azure after the rain, with two red plum blossoms inserted in it. A set of silver tea sets engraved with mandarin ducks and parallel lotus flowers are placed next to the jade pot spring vase.
It is surrounded by red sandalwood round piers full of carved pomegranate branches. Because when the season is warm or cold, the round piers are covered with brocade felt at that time.
As the princess of the county who had just passed away, Sheng Weiqiao invited her sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law to go to the round table together to get something useful: "It's none of their business tomorrow. Calling sister-in-law and eldest sister have two children who have been there until now. I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything." Whatever you use, let’s use some together!”
When he shut up, Dongren had already placed the food box on the round table and started to take it out one by one.
Xu Chu told the kitchen that the Qi family and Princess Qingfang's mother and daughter were both there. The food box that the host brought over had four levels. When the group sat down, the table had already been set for seven. There were eight dishes, but they kept being put away.
"He's going to bring that basin to auntie!" Yuan Donglai specifically chose a seat closest to the food box and stared at it carefully. The three adults thought she was hungry or greedy because they noticed that the girl was quite hungry. He was willful and afraid of being embarrassed if he said anything, so he didn't say anything on purpose and just kept chatting to himself.
Unexpectedly, when Yuan Donglai saw Dongren bringing out another porcelain basin, he suddenly said, "Don't move, he will come!"
Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao and Qi looked at Princess Qingfang, and saw that Yuan Donglai had hurriedly jumped on the east round pier and reached the basin with her feet. The porcelain basin was filled with steaming water. The three fresh osmanthus soup was probably not full of osmanthus because it might spill on the road. The soup was only half full, which was far away from the mouth of the basin.
But at Yuan Donglai's age, everyone was worried and stopped one after another: "I'll give it to my aunt instead!"
"Or when the table is being pushed!"
"Good boy, don't be cruel to your aunt. How about I bring the mixed plum cake to my aunt?"
However, the little girl turned a deaf ear. After asking the maid for a handkerchief to support her legs, she concentrated on carrying the soup basin and moved it cautiously towards Sheng Weiqiao. Sheng Weiqiao was afraid that she would be burned, so she gave Ju Li a wink and asked her to take care of her. .
Fortunately, Yuan Donglai was careful enough, but Taitai brought it to Sheng Weiqiao calmly.
When Sheng Weiqiao saw this, she secretly sighed and quickly stretched out her legs to pick him up. He smiled while saying, "Good boy, can auntie bear with me?"
At that time, everyone thought that Yuan Donglai had just turned around and apologized to his aunt for being willful.
Qi and Sheng Weiqiao didn't say anything, but in their hearts they felt that the little girl was pretty good, and they would correct her mistakes if they knew they were wrong.
It turned out that Sheng Weiqiao's legs had just touched the soup pot, and she didn't have time to catch it. Yuan Donglai suddenly took a step forward and deliberately pulled the soup pot towards her!
"County Lord, be careful!" Ju Li, who was ordered to look after her, was shocked when she saw this. Whether the soup basin was fastened properly or not, Sheng Weiqiao's wedding clothes must be destroyed. The key is whether the soup basin is obviously Once it's out of the pot, it's pouring eastward. A few layers of wedding clothes can't stop it. It's bound to get burned!
"Dong Lai?!" Mrs. Qi and Princess Qingfang were both stunned. They wanted to pull it, but something unexpected happened. How could they have done it in time? !
At the critical moment, Juli couldn't think too much and stepped forward quickly, pushing Sheng Weiqiao from Yuandunzai to the ground. He leaned forward to block a basin of hot soup that was gushing to the east!
The loyal maid's cry of pain and the sound of the porcelain basin falling to the ground sounded almost simultaneously!
"Dong Lai, am I crazy?!" Princess Qingfang stood up and looked at her daughter in disbelief!
Qi's face was as dark as water, and she ignored the mother and daughter, and hurried forward to see Sheng Weiqiao: "Third brother and sister, can I have something wrong?!"
Her voice was a little better when she asked: Although the scene just now was not caused by Yuan Donglai, as the eldest sister-in-law, since she was present, she naturally had the responsibility to look after her sister-in-law, especially before Rong Suihe left just now. It was a very special entrustment to her. With the temper of his brother-in-law Rong Suihe, when he went to propose a toast, something happened so big to the beloved princess, it would be strange if it didn't cause earth-shaking!
Very good. Although Sheng Weiqiao got up with a red face and a few soup stains on his clothes, he shook his head: "He's fine!"
She, the husband of the coal mine, told Mr. Qi more and immediately lowered his head to check Juli.
Compared with Sheng Weiqiao's near miss, Juli was in a miserable situation at that moment. She had just protected Sheng Weiqiao, but did not consider herself. When she stepped forward, it can be said that she drank a whole basin of soup. solid!
At this moment, most of the maid's dress was wet. She bit her lip hard and couldn't help but tremble in pain.
"Go to the doctor quickly!" Sheng Weiqiao looked at it carefully, then gasped and ordered his attendants, "Hurry up!"
Mrs. Qi reminded: "It's a happy confinement day. It's not good for the doctor to come to the new house. Why don't you let the maid go to another courtyard first?"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "Please don't block the chrysanthemum fence, then he will be the only one to ask the doctor! Why is Ru Ming very happy or not?!"
"It's true that he said something about me, Qingfang, but I really should take care of Donglai!" Mrs. Qi was afraid that if she said such words, it would be clear that she wanted to pursue the matter to the end. She immediately hated Qingfang and her daughter: I had already made a good start with my sister-in-law, who was rumored to be very difficult to get along with. It turned out that my eldest sister-in-law’s daughter had done that. Even if Sheng Weiqiao didn’t get angry with her, something like that happened just after they met. Looking back, I saw it in my heart. No grudge? !
Mrs. Qi's attitude towards her husband's relatives has always been to follow Princess Gaomi. Princess Gaomi is now the most indulgent and indulgent of Sleeping Crane, so Mrs. Sheng Weiqiao values her husband. In Mrs. Qi's view, having a good sister-in-law is better than having a sister-in-law. It’s more important to have a good relationship!
At this moment, when she caught a glimpse of Sheng Weiqiao's attitude, she immediately made a serious face and said to Princess Qingfang, "You are so vicious at a young age, but you will be great when you grow up!" Fortunately, the third brother and sister's maid loyally stopped her, otherwise the third brother would know later. , how do we husband and wife please explain?!"
Princess Qingfang was actually angry and resentful. She really didn't want to offend Sheng Weiqiao. The reason why she brought her daughter here tomorrow was because she wanted to join in the fun. Who knew Yuan Donglai would have such an affair
"Did I lose my head?!" the princess angrily scolded her daughter, "The soup was so hot that it was poured on my aunt! There is a limit to joking. Do I have any sense of propriety?!"
Did the princess's words actually contain a hidden intention to defend her daughter: Did her daughter just want to make a joke, or did she really want to kill her aunt? Or was she young and unable to grasp the propriety of joking, which led to such a situation? An accident!
But she couldn't stand Yuan Donglai's refusal to cooperate. Not only did she not cooperate, the little girl held her head high and said very confidently: "He is not joking with her! He is deliberately throwing soup at her! Who told her to deny the third uncle's heart?" Baby? Last year at the Fifth Banquet, Third Uncle was bullying my elder brother and Second Uncle in the Linyuan. It’s been almost a year since he, Zhai Mule, had the opportunity to bully Third Uncle’s darling!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Sheng Weiqiao coldly and said rather unwillingly, "That time, my fortune was good, Dongji..."
Before he finished speaking, the sullen Sheng Weiqiao suddenly stood up from Juli, walked over quickly, and in front of Princess Qingfang, raised his leg and gave her seven or eight ear scrapes, both front and back!
