In fact, the idea I thought of before is not bad. There is a palace banquet. When the wine is flowing and the ears are warm, there are some ways to do legs and feet.
Question no…
Are the palace banquets since Chunjia took office really poisonous
After finally convincing the emperor and empress, we were all preparing, but then smallpox broke out!
In the past two months, Yun Fenghuang had tactfully tried to test it out, asking the Queen if she would like to host a banquet to make things lively, so as to break away from the bad luck in the palace for the past half year.
But the queen felt that something happened when she was planning to do it before. Please come back then so that nothing happens again! Then he told Yun Fenghuang that if he wanted to be lively, he could ask the Sixth Palace to gather some lively things and let the Jiaofang Secretary create some new songs and dances. As for banquets with foreign ministers and the like, that didn't count. .
The queen felt it was very unlucky.
That would be embarrassing.
Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and arranged for Chen Jing to send someone to follow Deng Chengzhai to see if he had any confidante, flowers outside his home, etc. Although it was a bit far-fetched at that time, he just wanted that person to have such a couple. If you truly love someone, you can also find excuses to regret the marriage.
It turned out that although Donglai Deng Chengzhai occasionally visited the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, he didn't have any special friendship, and he didn't even have an outhouse...
"It is said that there are several mistresses in Deng's house, but they are all given the drug to kill children, and they are allowed to serve occasionally. They are not allowed to get pregnant or have children, and they are not allowed to get involved in the affairs of the backyard." Chen Jing said in a low voice, "Normally, If they are all locked up in a courtyard, Mr. Deng will only let them take care of them when he remembers them."
A man from the Qing Dynasty couldn't help but said: "Is your Majesty really begging Miss Meng to regret her marriage? I think Master Deng is a rare candidate for a good husband. If Miss Meng misses it because of her willfulness, Miss Meng will not know how to ask for it in the future." What a regret!"
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly. She didn't know whether she should follow her own experience and follow the advice of the Qing people and continue to let Xie Meng marry Deng Chengzhai. Or whether she should follow Xie Meng's idea and regret the marriage to her. Then talk about a handsome nobleman
After being silent for a while, she said slowly: "When Dongrang Meng'er comes over, I will ask her personally."
After a while, Xie Meng was summoned to the imperial concubine. Yun Fenghuang didn't mention that, so he asked her how she was doing. He brought the two nephews who had not seen each other for a long time, and then tactfully tested the niece's preferences.
Although Xie Meng is shy, her attitude is not firm, but she still likes young people of the same age.
It is best to be a handsome young man with a good family background, good looks, good talents, good temperament, and a deep love for her.
Yun Fenghuang looked at the joyful expression on her brows and smiled: "Sure, I will look for you for me later!"
After Xie Meng left, the smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared, and Chen Jingqing came out from behind the screen, "Did you hear everything? What should Minghong do?"
Chen Jing and Qing Ren actually disagreed. After all, Xie Meng will only be old next year. In their opinion, what does such a little girl know? I just know how to look at appearance. Can we talk about appearance? Deng Chengzhai was Chun Jia's reading companion back then. How could his appearance be so bad
Even in their eyes, the magnanimity of such a promising minister of the emperor is not comparable to that of the so-called young talents who have been living in the wings of their fathers.
But I couldn't resist Xie Meng's age and whether he would be attracted to that embroidered pillow.
However, the imperial concubine indulged the niece again.
The two of them glanced at each other and said helplessly: "No."
That being said, unless the imperial concubine could listen, they had no choice but to do as the imperial concubine wanted.
Could it be that Chen Jing sent someone to secretly investigate which family was particularly interested in Deng Chengzhai and wanted to take over the business, and which young people from other families could catch Xie Meng's eye
Regarding the latter, Yun Fenghuang thought about it and found a way out for Xie Meng, so he said to Concubine De: "The three nieces of my palace are already that old. If they are outside the palace, they should be there." They are taken out and about by the elders. Just like the elders of the Ming Xie family in the imperial capital, men are not suitable, and women should not bother the east of Princess Sui'an. As for the eighteenth sister-in-law, she and the eighteenth brother of this palace It's true that they are newlyweds, and I am too embarrassed to disturb them. Ru Ming watches them grow up day by day, and stays in the palace for a long time. I am really afraid that in the future, they will not see enough, and they will be laughed at when they leave the palace. "
Concubine De knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song, and immediately said: "That's not a troublesome thing. If my sister doesn't mind it, why don't I ask my sister to go out with them for a while?"
Worried that Yun Fenghuang would not be able to see the Wei family, they quickly mentioned their grandmother, "My sister's grandmother has become more and more childish in the past two years. She would go out to visit from time to time, and most of all she would take the younger ones around the house. If not, what can I do? Grandma will definitely be overjoyed to have an outstanding child with both talent and appearance like Meng'er and the others."
Yun Fenghuang politely declined twice before agreeing.
Otherwise, Xie Meng and the others would definitely want to frequent the palace. Yun Fenghuang went to find Chunjia specifically for this reason: "Actually, it depends on Meng'er whether she wants to be Deng Chengzhai's wife in the future. The Deng family was very thin, and after she left the cabinet, there must be no suitable elders to take her out to meet people. Why not bother the Cui family all the time? After all, it is Deng Chengzhai's uncle's family, not the eldest daughter of the family. For example, Mingde The concubine is willing to help, and I also hope that Meng'er can go out and see more often, and imitate the behavior of a noble lady, so as not to disgrace Deng Chengzhai. As for Mei'er and Kuo'er, they are not brought along. I don’t know what Bidong thinks?”
Chunjia had long been accustomed to the imperial concubine being very fond of Xie Meng. Hearing this, he didn’t think much about it. He pulled her and teased her for a few words and then turned around and did two things. The first was to make people Look at Xie Kuo a little, don't let Xie Kuo take advantage of the situation to hook up with someone he doesn't want the Xie family to marry; secondly, whether to tell Deng Chengzhai about the imperial concubine's special cultivation of Xie Meng.
Deng Chengzhai was originally quite repulsive about that marriage, but even though Emperor Bu Nao insisted on agreeing to Donglai, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Hearing those words, he felt a little moved. After all, could the imperial concubine sometimes not even sell the emperor's face, but she would actually worry so much about whether her niece was worthy of him... That also made him feel a little bit. In the face of pressure, he was worried that Xie Meng would be trained to be too shrewd. After the fight in the temple, he returned to the house and wanted to compete with his wife in a battle of wits and courage.
But there was no other way. If the emperor didn't change his mind and said something unpleasant, even if Xie Meng died, he might have to marry Wei Luomen as his first wife.
At that time, he could bite the bullet and thank him, and bow his legs in the direction of Huanqing Palace, saying that he was worthy of the imperial concubine's cruelty.
Chunjia saw his confusion and consoled her: "Of the three nieces in the imperial concubine's lap, Xie Meng is the most naive. The imperial concubine's move will only allow her to gain more knowledge, and there is no other purpose."
Then he whispered, "The sisters asked to go to the Wei family for a banquet in the next month. If the Wei family also invited me, I might as well go and have a look. Although men and women are seated separately, there may not be a chance to look at such a large mansion from a distance."
Deng Chengzhai had never met Xie Meng. He wondered whether he expected this wife. After all, the emperor himself acted as a matchmaker and said she resembled a noble concubine. Of course, he was curious in his heart.
Yu Fei half-heartedly agreed to come to the east.
Because Xie Meng was very young, and because of the delay caused by the smallpox incident, not only did Xie Xiaoyu's marriage to Cui, which was originally planned to be a grand affair, hastily, but the marriage was not announced until tomorrow.
But whether the Wei family is a relative or not, she doesn't know it in her heart.
In the middle of the banquet, Deng Chengzhai was specially arranged to go to the garden to relieve the smell of alcohol, and Wei Zhizhi was asked to lead Xie Meng by.
Xie Meng was ignorant. When he saw Deng Chengzhai being accompanied by a descendant of the Wei family, he said they had met by chance and walked over with a casual salute.
Realizing that the wrong person was looking at him, he frowned.
Afterwards, Wei Zhizhi tactfully reminded Deng Chengzhai, and he was thoughtful.
She admitted that Deng Chengzhai was actually very outstanding, but... he was too old.
At her age, Deng Chengzhai can really be her father...
As for saying that the emperor's close ministers have a bright future, Cuo Xie Meng's appeal is really not that great.
Lord, because Yun Fenghuang entered the palace when she was only six years old, and with such an aunt who has always been there, overnight she went from being a grandchild of a country squire to being raised in a deep palace and chatting in front of the emperor. , I asked Xie Meng to have such reverence for another minister of the emperor that he could not wait to recommend himself as a pillow. That is really unacceptable...
No matter how close a minister is, it is very likely that her own aunt is close to the emperor
No matter how promising her future is, isn't her aunt's pillow wind blowing
So why is she begging for help? What does Deng Chengzhai have in mind
"It's good that my aunt promised not to ask him if she doesn't like him." Xie Meng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then looked at the young man of the same age not far away who was dressed in splendid clothes and wearing a jade belt, his eyes sparkling, "That Wei Yuanzi is so handsome!"
... Unlike Xie Meng's dislike, Deng Chengzhai did have some changes after seeing the prospective fiancée in person.
Lord, Xie Meng is at the age when a girl is transitioning from a child to a young girl. Her innocent and ignorant temperament mixed with a little bit of coquettishness is pure and harmless, and normal people, especially normal men, will not be disgusted by it.
In addition, she was born exactly like Yun Feng Huang, and although Yun Feng Huang was weaker than Yi Xing'en purely in terms of appearance, he was only weaker than Yi Xing'en.
Chunjia, who was full of childhood memories at that time, was stunned for a moment whether she could serve Yuan Yuniang at dinner without any makeup and plain clothes, and dress up like a palace maid.
And when Xie Meng was seven years old, she entered the palace. Although Yun Fenghuang only summoned her once in a while in the past two years, her food, clothing, housing and transportation were not the best. Mingyue appeared in front of people for the first time, and her dress was not as exquisite as Yun Fenghuang himself. After all, although Deng Chengzhai was not worried about Concubine Baoyin dragging her into trouble, he had to admit that after the girl grew up, it would be more than ordinary people could bear.
"Master, look at Miss Xie, she is different from the imperial concubine." On the way back, his personal attendant added, "I went to the palace banquet with the master before, how many times have you seen the imperial concubine in Yuanji?" Back then, the imperial concubine was extremely beautiful and powerful, just like the previous empress of the Yuan Dynasty. The empress of Ruming was even a little overwhelmed. She was obviously wearing a Zhai robe and a phoenix crown, but she looked dull. That Miss Xie, But it looks more delicate."
Deng Chengzhai said absently: "Is it because she is still young, and who knows if she is pretending? I think Concubine An and Empress Yuan are not fools. If not, when the imperial concubine first entered the palace, she was as showy as the Ming Palace Banquet. , who would tolerate her?"
In other words, when he was alone with Chunjia the next month, he pretended to be satisfied and thanked Chunjia. The implicit meaning behind his words was to thank the emperor for marrying him to such a beautiful woman. Prospective fiancée.
Because of his natural acting skills, the emperor didn't even notice it. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt quite proud that he had created a future couple. He turned around and went to Yun Fenghuang to show off and claim credit.
Yun Fenghuang had already asked Xie Meng, and learned that she had a favorable impression of the nobles who she briefly met at the banquet. After all, in that kind of occasion, those nobles were not very personable and gentle. , self-denial makes people... Xie Meng looked at it and felt that each one of them was the one he dreamed of...
