The Favoured Medical Princess: 434 intimacy

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

On May 28th, half past midnight, horse-drawn carriages were lined up in front of the East Street gate of Bixiaotang, stretching from the street to the end of the street.

A little maid in Tsing Yi looked at the East Street gate, then trotted back to a black flat-top carriage at the end of the street, and bowed to a forty-year-old woman in the carriage. Salute: "Madam, there are twenty carriages in front of us! Do you want me to tell the concierge..." My wife is also the wife of General Yao. The third generation of the Yao family has assisted the Zhennan Palace. Even the crown prince should give It’s Madam’s dignity that allows the Yao family’s carriage to advance into the palace!

"Wait a minute." Mrs. Yao waved her hand and said nothing.

This is the first time that I have come to see the Crown Princess. I don’t know her temper yet, so it’s always right to be cautious.

Mrs. Yao waited patiently outside the mansion for a stick of incense and a half before her carriage was ushered into Bixiaotang.

The carriage stopped in front of Dongyi Gate. Mrs. Yao got out of the carriage with the help of the maid, and a stewardess wearing a sapphire blue five-year-old birthday makeup and flowered trousers came up to her, smiling so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. All crowded together.

"I have met Mrs. Yao." The stewardess saluted Mrs. Yao enthusiastically.

Mrs. Yao was startled. She was not surprised that the Crown Princess did not come to greet the guests. After all, the Crown Princess was now the highest-ranking female family member in the entire southern Xinjiang, and she was also a first-class princess. There were no guests today. He is so noble that the Crown Princess comes to greet him in person.

Mrs. Yao smiled slightly and said politely: "Mother Lu." Although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, Mrs. Yao still recognized her.

This Aunt Lu was the most effective steward next to the late Princess Dafang. However, after the death of the late Princess and the current wife’s marriage to the Zhennan Palace, this Aunt Lu disappeared from the public... Thinking that it had been more than ten years, the other party had actually gained the favor of the Crown Princess again. This is really an emperor and a courtier!

"Mrs. Yao still remembers me. I am really honored." Aunt Lu smiled even more happily. Originally, after she was responsible for welcoming guests here, the little maid would welcome the guests to Xihong Hall.

But Mrs. Yao was no ordinary female family member, so Aunt Lu personally led her there.

As soon as she entered the Xihong Hall, Mrs. Yao was startled again. She saw a beautiful young lady of about fifteen years old sitting in the host's seat, and sitting in the armchair to her left was a familiar little girl - —Xiao Fei.

For a time, various thoughts flashed through Mrs. Yao's mind, but she showed no emotion. She continued to walk forward unhurriedly, and then greeted Nangong Yue: "I have met the Crown Princess."

"Mrs. Yao doesn't need to be so polite." Nangong Yue signaled with a look, and a little maid supported Mrs. Yao while she bent her knees.

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Mrs. Yao went through all the etiquette, and then looked towards Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei stood up and met her, and the two exchanged a few words.

On the surface, Mrs. Yao looked as if nothing had happened, but in fact, she was already in a turmoil in her heart.

In the past few days, there were rumors in some mansions in Luo Yuecheng that the Crown Princess was on good terms with Miss Xiao. Mrs. Yao just took it as a joke and ignored it. It was not until this moment that she confirmed that it was not groundless rumors.

Mrs. Yao has also heard about Miss Xiao’s temperament. The imperial concubine got along so well with this sister-in-law, so she must have some tricks up her sleeve...

Mrs. Yao looked at Nangong Yue again without leaving a trace, and saw that she was wearing a rose, purple and two-color gold embroidered silk gown with narrow sleeves that reached her knees, and a pony bun on her head. There are a few ruby ​​bead flowers. The bead flowers look simple, but the ruby ​​​​is rare and flawless. Even the stamens are so delicate that they are lifelike. The bright outfit made her whole body shine. She seemed to be just a pretty, generous and decent little girl, but seeing how she handled it calmly from beginning to end without showing a trace of timidity, Mrs. Yao knew something about it.

In the past few years, the prince Xiao Yi has gradually shown his talents. Originally, she thought that the prince's concubine was given a marriage by the emperor. Given the emperor's fear of the Zhennan Palace, she was afraid that she might not be kind. She did not expect that the emperor would actually marry the prince. A good gift was given to her. Even though she was young, she was very impressive. She was worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family and the royal title princess. She must have been favored by the Holy Spirit. From now on, it will not be easy for Mrs. Xiao Fang to take action against the prince, not only the prince, but also the prince and concubine.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yao felt a lot more confident, and she became more confident about her family's future. Yes, the master has always been a man with a compass in his heart. No wonder he let Hanger follow the prince!

After that, other ladies came in one after another, and Mrs. Yao was led to the flower hall by a maid.

After walking along the Chaoshou Corridor for a while, you pass through a Ruyi Gate and you are in the Flower Hall.

The weather is suitable at this time, so the maids opened all the windows on three sides of the flower hall, making the interior bright and bright. At a glance, you can see a pair of large blue and white porcelain vases placed in the corner, and four nanmu primrose colored engraved glass screens, which are simple but Tasteful.

In May, the pomegranate flowers bloom, red as bright as fire, dazzling. Sitting in the flower hall, you can just see the pomegranate flowers in full bloom in the small garden, overlooking the gleaming lake in the distance, and a breeze blows. It brings bursts of floral fragrance, which makes people relax.

The tea and fruit snacks have already been placed on the table. In addition to the common snacks in southern Xinjiang, there are also some snacks from the royal capital. These snacks are made by the cooks Nangong Yue brought from the royal capital, and they are quite authentic. The flavor of the royal capital.

Many people have already arrived in the flower hall. At first glance, it can be said that it is colorful and jewel-like, and it is really lively.

Mrs. Yao glanced around quickly and was a little surprised. There were more people here today than she expected. Mrs. Hong’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Hongtong Prefecture, as well as General Lan, General Jiang, Deputy General Xin, etc. The female relatives also came. The prince’s foundation in southern Xinjiang is getting deeper and deeper!

Seeing Mrs. Yao coming, a familiar lady immediately stood up and greeted her.

"Mrs. Yao," Mrs. Jiang smiled and pulled Mrs. Yao to sit down next to her and said, "Why isn't your daughter-in-law here?"

When she talked about the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yao couldn't hide the smile on her face and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law was diagnosed with Ximai the day before yesterday, so I can only tell the imperial concubine."

Mrs. Jiang said happily: "Congratulations, Mrs. Yao!"

"She is listless all day now and doesn't want to eat anything. I'm really worried." Mrs. Yao said this, but there was no sadness on her face, and the corners of her mouth were even crooked.

Her eldest son has been married for five years, and this is her daughter-in-law's first child. She is looking forward to it day and night, watching the clouds clear and seeing the moonlight.

After hearing this, several other ladies also congratulated him.

There are not many wealthy families in southern Xinjiang, so these ladies knew each other more or less, and after exchanging pleasantries, they started chatting warmly...

The maids would add some tea and snacks from time to time, and were very respectful.

Gradually, there were more and more people in the flower hall. Luo Yuecheng came with Lord Zhilu's wife and the wife of Lord Ma, the chief envoy. The wife of Mr. Liu, the comfort envoy, Mr. Yun, the inspection envoy, and his daughter-in-law and eldest daughter... all came.

Mrs. Yao has not seen the female relatives of these civil and military officials gathered together for several years. It seems that the prince's face is really great.

At this time, Mrs. Hua, who was sitting on the other side, patted Mrs. Yao's arm gently, and then motioned her to look at the door. She saw a proud-looking lady and two beautiful girls walking from the hall.

There was a moment of silence in the flower hall. Everyone looked at the three of them with subtle expressions.

Everyone knows this lady. She is the prince's eldest sister, Mrs. Qiao. The **** her left is her eldest daughter Qiao Ruolan, and the **** her right is Xiao Fei, the eldest daughter of the prince's family.

Xiao Fei calmly led the way: "Aunt, cousin, please come this way."

Seeing them come in, a woman wearing a lake-colored tunic with a pattern stood up and greeted them enthusiastically, "Sister and Sister Lan, you are here."

Mrs. Qiao nodded gracefully, "Second sister!"

Xiao Fei and Qiao Ruolan also saluted and called "aunt".

Yes, this lady is the concubine of Mrs. Qiao and King Zhennan, and is now married to Mrs. Ji of the Ji Mansion.

"Sister, come and sit here. My sister hasn't spoken to my eldest sister in a while." Mrs. Ji covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "I heard that there are many people in my house now. A 'sister', the eldest sister is really virtuous, and my brother-in-law is so blessed to have such a virtuous wife!"

Although Mrs. Ji was smiling, she looked at the eldest sister coldly, not hiding the gloating in her eyes.

She, the eldest sister, liked to suppress herself in everything in her boudoir. She finally got married. She thought that she would be able to get rid of her completely in the future. Unexpectedly, the other party actually gave her husband two as a gift after she had a miscarriage. The enchanting maid also has the reputation of sharing her worries and carrying on the family lineage for her! And my mother-in-law actually made the decision to accept it!

Recalling what happened back then, Mrs. Ji was so angry that she gritted her teeth. After enduring it for more than ten years, she finally let go of the bad breath in her heart.

Recently, Vice General Qiao held a concubine banquet and brought the outside room into the palace. It can be said that everyone in Luoyue City knew about it. On the day of the concubine banquet, it was so lively that even the prince Went for a drink.

Such a beautiful concubine banquet is truly unique in Luoyue City.

Although the ladies from other places did not know the reason, it did not hinder their imagination and outstanding communication skills. After a while, they learned the story from the informed ladies.

Mrs. Qiao's face was already as dark as the bottom of a pot. She didn't want to lose her momentum in front of this concubine, so she said coldly: "Thank you so much for your concern, second sister! I heard that brother Liang is going to have a father soon, so let me know This aunt should also go and congratulate her..."

These words made people look at each other in confusion and thought: As far as they know, Mrs. Ji's eldest son is not married yet, right? Wouldn't that be...

Thinking of this, everyone had strange expressions on their faces.

At this moment, Mrs. Ji's face turned ugly. Brother Liang was his eldest son. These days, the maid serving in his house was pregnant... My sister is really very vicious. This is what she wanted to do. Ruining my brother’s marriage!

Mrs. Ji said firmly: "I don't know where eldest sister heard this from, but my brother Liang hasn't said goodbye yet!" But she was thinking in her heart that she must be cruel to that little **** when she returns home. Just drink the decoction!

The few words of the two sisters gave Luo Yuecheng a lot of gossip after dinner. Mrs. Ling, the third sister of Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Ji, was drinking tea by herself from beginning to end. She really wanted to be away from these two sisters. Far away.

With great difficulty, Mrs. Qiao finally took a seat. After Xiao Fei ordered the maids to serve tea, she did not leave the flower hall.

One after another, girls came to sit next to her.

Xiao Fei has a cold temperament and does not like liveliness. There are not many opportunities to see the eldest daughter of the royal family. No matter what the purpose is, this opportunity to make good friends with Xiao Xiao is really rare.

They were smiling and talking around Xiao Fei, and then a girl wearing a smoky purple flower and butterfly brocade said enthusiastically: "Liao'er still remembers playing chess with Miss Xiao last year. She really benefited a lot. Xiao Fei has the opportunity to The girl wants to have another round with Liao'er."

Another girl wearing a brocade smoky red jacquard jacket hurriedly echoed: "I was also deeply impressed by that game. I even took note of the score and reviewed it several times afterwards..."

"How about we hold a chess party one day to make friends with chess?"

"..."

The girls talked to each other and it was so lively.

In the past, Xiao Fei might have felt that being polite to others was too philistine and not noble enough, but now, she responded to them one by one with a smile and entertained all these girls properly.

Qiao Ruolan on the side was accidentally left out. A flash of annoyance flashed in her eyes. She could only hold back and not show any signs of herself, and sat dignifiedly next to Mrs. Qiao.

"The Crown Princess is safe."

The maids' greetings came from outside the flower hall, and everyone couldn't help but follow the sound and saw the Crown Princess Nangong Yue walking in accompanied by two female relatives. One of them is an old lady in her fifties, wearing a sapphire blue trousers with ten kinds of brocade. Her gray hair is neatly tied into a bun, and a jade hairpin is inserted; The woman is in her thirties, wearing a lilac-colored silk trousers, and her round face looks very kind.

It’s Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Tian from General Tian’s Mansion!

The ladies quickly exchanged glances with the friends next to them, and they were all moved. When Mrs. Qiao came just now, it was Xiao Fei who accompanied her, but Mrs. Tian was accompanied by the Crown Princess herself. Come in. The closeness between Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Qiao in the Crown Prince's place is obvious at a glance.

As soon as Nangong Yue entered the flower hall, the female family members stood up and saluted again.

Nangong Yue signaled them to excuse themselves, then smiled and said: "It's almost time, let's all sit down together."

As soon as she finished speaking, a clear female voice said: "Cousin, why don't you see your aunt today? Is it because my aunt hasn't recovered well yet?"

The speaker was Qiao Ruolan, who was sitting next to Mrs. Qiao. She looked dignified and virtuous, as if she was really just asking the question out of curiosity. However, these few words revealed a lot, which meant that Mrs. Fang had been ill for several days. Logically speaking, Mrs. Fang was the mother-in-law. If she was sick, the imperial concubine should attend to her illness instead of hosting a banquet here; If Xiao Fang recovered from his illness, why didn't he come? Is it because the imperial concubine didn't invite her, or is it because Xiao Fang doesn't want to come?

Not to mention the inner story, everyone is well aware of the current undercurrent in the Zhennan Palace...

There was silence in the flower hall. Everyone was waiting to see how the Crown Princess would respond to the visit from the royal capital. They also wanted to see the temperament of the Crown Princess so that they would know how to deal with it later.

Nangong Yue smiled faintly and said with all her might: "My mother has been quiet recently. If my cousin wants to see her, it is better to wait until after lunch to visit her."

Xiao Fei frowned slightly, and without waiting for Qiao Ruolan to speak, she followed: "Cousin Lan, since my mother came back from the Ming and Qing Temple, she has dedicated herself to worshiping Buddha and living in seclusion. My cousin is so thoughtful. When my mother sees her later, she will be very happy. Happy."

Xiao Fei is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao Fang family. She came forward to smooth things over for the Crown Princess, leaving no one with anything to say. What's more, Xiao Fei's words can't be faulted. Xiao Fang has indeed lived in seclusion since she returned to the palace from the Ming and Qing Temple. She has never attended a banquet in other mansions again... But everyone knows that Xiao Fang is because of I was removed from the imperial edict, so I didn't want to go out to the banquet.

Thinking of this, the reason why Xiao Fang did not come to this small banquet today is a bit ambiguous. It is possible that it is because she is not getting along with the Crown Princess, or because she is unwilling to come out to meet guests.

Qiao Ruolan's eyes flashed, and she said with some embarrassment: "It's Lan'er Menglang."

The small episode passed in an instant, and the maids led them to their seats one by one

The old lady and her ladies were welcomed into the open hall to dine with the Crown Princess, while the girls were seated in the side hall. Xiao Fei dined with them and entertained them as the host.

Everyone sat down, and the maids in emerald-colored dresses walked into the flower hall holding water soaked with pomegranate petals, serving the female family members to clean their hands, followed by another wave of maids in peach-colored dresses carrying hot tea, Fine wines and all kinds of dishes are filed into the flower hall. There are many fine wines and delicacies from mountains and seas.

These maids all had low eyebrows, but they were flexible and well behaved. The female relatives secretly exchanged glances with admiration in their eyes.

Mrs. Tian felt a little complicated for a moment. Life is unpredictable. She thought about the time when the prince Xiao Yi was left as a hostage in the royal capital. Everyone thought that the princess, no, the wife's stepmother's room would outweigh the original wife's room. Who would have thought that the prince, who was holding a bad hand, would turn his disadvantage into an advantage. Now he is so powerful that even the prince cannot suppress him.

In the future, Southern Xinjiang will still have to rely on the Crown Prince to support itself.

Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Please feel free to use some of these simple meals."

With her words, the banquet was officially over.

Mrs. Li, who was sitting diagonally across from Nangong Yue, complimented enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, you are so polite! I think the dishes on this table are really rich. Many of the dishes are things I have never seen before. They are dishes in the royal capital." It is indeed different from our southern Xinjiang, very refined and particular."

"Mrs. Li is so complimentary." Nangong Yue smiled politely, "The dishes in the Wangdu and Southern Xinjiang are one in the north and one in the south. The dishes are naturally very different. The dishes in the Wangdu are exquisite and have a heavier taste, while those in the Southern Xinjiang are Xinjiang's dishes are fresh and tender, fragrant and sweet, and pay attention to the original flavor and authenticity. Each has its own merits."

"What the Crown Princess said is true." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly agreed, "Although the Crown Princess has only come to southern Xinjiang not long ago, she has revealed the essence of our southern Xinjiang cuisine."

Everyone complimented Nangong Yue a few more times, and the atmosphere quickly became warm with many compliments surrounding Nangong Yue.

The meal was lively for more than half an hour, and both the host and the guest were happy. After the table was removed, the maids served hot tea to everyone. Before the tea cooled down, Grandma Lu left with a smile. Come in, invite everyone to go to the garden to watch the show, and say with a smile: "Prince Princess, ladies and gentlemen, the gong will start after just one stick of incense."

The female guests stood up one after another and walked to the garden talking and laughing.

The stage is set up next to the lake in the garden. The lake is rippling and there are lotus leaves in the fields. It is a good place to watch or enjoy the show.

The guests were led to the Linshui Pavilion in the small garden, and then went up to the second floor. Tables and chairs had already been set up on the veranda for everyone to lean on and watch the show.

At this moment, the direction of the stage music sounded, and the actors with heavy makeup appeared on the stage, and began to sing on the high stage. Among the water, light, flowers and shadows, the actors sang and danced, creating a unique and leisurely and elegant atmosphere.

Quie'er came over with the playbook and Fu Shen said: "Please order some play from the imperial concubine."

At a banquet like today, listening to a play is just to liven up the atmosphere, so when you order a play, you only order some jokes. If it is a well-known piece, each guest can almost watch the whole play by ordering a section. .

Nangong Yue already knew what plays were in the opera book, so she didn’t open it and clicked on a random section: "Let’s just take the last chapter of "Flowers in the Mirror"."

After that, she handed the play notes to Mrs. Tian, ​​but Mrs. Tian said politely: "I am old and my eyesight is dazzled. The Crown Princess can do whatever she wants."

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao's face turned dark. She is an aunt and an elder, but this imperial concubine just let Mrs. Tian order the show first. She was obviously trying to save her own face!

"Mother, how about my daughter-in-law order it for you." Mrs. Tian took the opera script from Mrs. Tian gracefully and ordered a section of "Drunken with Golden Boughs".

She closed the opera book and handed it back to Baihui, and then it was Mrs. Qiao's turn to order the opera.

Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she almost turned her back and refused to accept the script, but then she thought about it and had another idea, and a glint flashed in her eyes.

She picked up the opera book and glanced at it casually, and said with a smile: "Then let's play the third chapter of "The Cold Kiln"."

When they heard the name of the play, the female relatives looked at each other in confusion. The play "The Cold Kiln" is quite famous in Dayu, and there are many women who like it. The problem is that this is a play of bitter love. Since it is a bitter love play, The play inevitably involves crying.

Today's banquet is the first time that Princess Zhennan entertains guests. Logically speaking, she should order some happy music and more martial arts to entertain everyone.

But no one dared to say anything about Mrs. Qiao, and the drama continued to be passed down...

After singing three verses on the stage, it was Mrs. Qiao’s turn to order "The Cold Kiln".

For a moment, the scenery on the stage suddenly changed, and a tragic and painful play was sung.

"The Cold Kiln" tells the story of Lu, the prime minister's daughter, who ignored her parents' advice and married Li Yuzhong, a poor bodyguard, and cut off all contact with her parents. Later, Li Yuzhong joined the army, and Lu stayed alone in the cold kiln for ten years before returning to Li Yuzhong, who became the general. Li Yuzhong came to pick Lu up in a red sedan chair to take him to the General's Mansion. However, the Lu family had already been confiscated at that time. Lu's parents were in dire straits and needed Lu's help. Lu thought about it and felt that her parents' family was in dire straits and she was young. No longer, feeling ashamed and unworthy of Li Yuzhong, she refused to get into the sedan chair and insisted on making peace with her husband so that he could marry a well-matched woman. In the end, Li Yuzhong was deeply moved and married Shangfeng's daughter as his equal wife. From then on, the two women served the same husband together, creating a story of a virtuous wife!

The part sung on the stage now is Mr. Lu’s sad memories of those years, and she cried and begged her husband to marry another...

Others may not know what Mrs. Qiao means, but Nangong Yue knows it well. This aunt is mocking herself for being jealous and intolerant of others!

Nangong Yue couldn't help but laugh. It was just a drama. If he even cared about this little thing, he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood and die.

I’m afraid Mrs. Qiao is trying to save others by herself.

Some ladies also vaguely guessed what Mrs. Qiao was hinting at. They were all whispering to each other, and the atmosphere in the flower hall gradually became a little weird.

"Huh..."

At this time, Xiao Fei chuckled. Although her voice was not loud, some people around her still heard it, especially Qiao Ruolan who was sitting next to her. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Fei. .

I saw Xiao Fei looking at the stage attentively, looking at her entranced look, she was obviously laughing because of the show.

But isn’t this a drama of bitter love?

Qiao Ruolan couldn't help but glanced at the stage again. The actor playing Lu on the stage was singing about the sadness, euphemistically and tragically. Several female relatives shed tears when they heard it, but the smile in Xiao Fei's eyes was not. Thicker.

Qiao Ruolan almost thought that Xiao Fei and she were watching something other than a play. She couldn't help but ask, "Cousin Fei, is there anything funny in this play?" Happy?

This is not like Xiao Fei’s temperament...
