Two rows of red lanterns hang outside the palace wall of the Meiyuan Garden, and together with a few branches of clear pink plum blossoms protruding from the top of the wall, they add a bit of joy to the plain white ice and snow.
At the entrance of the garden, rows of palace maids in new clothes came in and out carrying fruits and snacks. People outside could hear people talking and laughing inside before they entered. It was very lively.
Ning Yujin stood at the door, taking a deep breath and then taking another deep breath. In order not to lose face to Mo Jingxiao, she put away all her usual playful and smiling temperament and held her head high and her chest high, looking full of airs.
Now, if nothing else, it makes people feel that although she, Princess Ding, cannot go to the kitchen, she can at least go to the hall.
But as soon as she stepped into Meiyuan, what was the reason for this sudden silence?
All those people's eyes fell on her, as if they were sizing up some strange species. After seeing it, they covered their mouths and pointed at her.
Ning Yujin was shocked, thinking that her hair was not messed up, her makeup was not stained, and her clothes were not torn. Why were they looking at each other like monkeys?
Before I had time to think about it, I saw an old woman walking forward with someone supporting me, and waved to her: "Girl Jin."
Ning Yujin's eyes suddenly lit up and she hurried over: "Mrs. Shen."
Mrs. Shen pulled her inside with a smile: "Come and chat with me. Ever since Mr. Su resigned and returned home, and Mrs. Su also followed, I haven't had anyone to talk to for a long time."
"Hey." Ning Yujin knew that Mrs. Shen had come specifically to rescue her, so she quickly followed her with a smile.
However, along the way, someone always grabbed the maid next to Mrs. Shen and muttered something from time to time, causing the maid to look at her and cover her lips with a chuckle, but she didn't say a word.
Ning Yujin was so curious about this that she quickly asked Madam Su: "Madam, what are they laughing at me for?"
Mrs. Su smiled and glared at the maid next to her, then raised her eyes and glanced at the ladies and ladies who were still looking at Ning Yujin, smiled, took her hand and said: "They, I heard that you are a goddess descended to earth.
, I just want to ask someone to ask you if you can give them some magic formula to help them have more sons."
"puff--"
Ning Yujin suddenly snorted and almost choked herself.
All this... what is it?
"There are a bunch of ignorant women, so don't argue with them." Mrs. Su smiled and pulled Ning Yujin towards the Zhemei Hall.
The seats for the banquet had already been set up in Zhemei Hall. Mrs. Su took Ning Yujin and walked to the two seats on the left to sit down.
After all, Ning Yujin had not yet become the official Princess Ding, so she declined with some scruples, lest anyone say that she was a young woman and did not understand the rules.
However, Mrs. Shen smiled and waved her hand: "Now who doesn't know that you are Princess Quan Ding? After you have made such great achievements on the battlefield, who dares to underestimate you now? This position was originally prepared for you."
Although there was a gap between Ning Yujin and Shen Yixuan, she still trusted Mrs. Shen's personality. She had no doubt that he was there and sat down at the top.
The two of them chatted briefly at home for a while, and then heard the eunuch preach outside: "Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu are here!"
Everyone stood up to greet them. Ning Yujin raised her head and looked at the door, and saw Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu walking in one after the other.
Concubine Hui smiled gently and asked everyone to get up quickly without being too polite. Concubine Shu had a cold expression on her face, as if she didn't want to talk to anyone, and she didn't want anyone to talk to her.
The two of them were dressed in gorgeous palace attire, with exquisite makeup and the hair accessories on their heads complementing each other. They were indescribably elegant and luxurious, highlighting their status.
Ning Yujin couldn't help but glance at Concubine Shu, but she didn't expect that she would also look at her. The two looked at each other for a brief moment, then turned away.
Concubine Hui walked up to Ning Yujin, reached out to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the third young lady of the entire Ningbo family. Look, we can only do embroidery and take care of children.
I went into battle to kill the enemy. My sister is a heroine, but my sisters admire her endlessly."
Ning Yujin also admired Concubine Hui immensely. He had obviously seen her confront each other so many times, but now he was able to pretend to be as friendly as if he had met her for the first time. He was very good at showing off.
Since she was so "courteous", she couldn't lose her etiquette. Ning Yujin immediately bowed her knees and saluted, and said something with no conscience, "What did the empress say? Yujin is just a wild girl who doesn't know etiquette."
"Compared to the empress, she is a golden branch and jade leaf" and other nonsense.
After the two exchanged polite words, Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu went up to the high platform and sat down on the main seat.
Mrs. Shen frowned, looked outside, and wondered: "Why hasn't Xuan'er arrived yet? As a queen, it would be too rude to be rude on such an occasion."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Hui stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "The Queen caught a cold last night and is currently recuperating. I may not be able to come to the Plum Appreciation Banquet. Your Majesty asked me to host the Plum Appreciation Banquet.
, you should eat, drink and have fun, but don’t be formal."
All the ladies and ladies responded in unison: "Yes."
Ning Yujin turned her head and saw Mrs. Shen's expression change, and quickly reached out to hold her hand: "Is the old lady okay?"
"Okay, okay, how can it be bad?" Mrs. Shen sighed and said softly, "It's just that Xuan'er will be sad in the future."
Ning Yujin was silent for a moment, and finally began to comfort her: "Sister Shen is the queen, and her son is the eldest son of the emperor. A hundred years after the emperor becomes emperor, she will be the queen mother. She will still have many blessings in the future."
Mrs. Shen shook her head and said, "I hope so."
Seeing this, Ning Yujin didn't know what to say.
Only she knows whether Shen Yixuan's life is good or not. Now Mo Ye has Huifei and Shufei, and she has promised to stay with several of them. In the future, there will be more women entering the palace during the routine draft every three years, and there will be more
With more and more concubines, it would be vain for her to want to exclusively enjoy Mo Ye's affection.
The word love is the most irritating, let's see if she can survive it.
With something hidden in her heart, even the originally festive banquet became a lot darker. There were many people around who came to talk to her, but the strong purpose in their eyes made her feel disgusted.
Mrs. Shen went to Kunning Palace halfway. Ning Yujin hesitated for a while and decided not to go.
Now that the relationship has been broken, going to see her now may seem a bit ironic to her.
Come on, come on, don't go, just think of it to save her face.
Ning Yujin drank a few glasses of toast, then she held her forehead and said she was too drunk, so she was helped to leave the palace banquet.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Yimei Garden, he would see Mo Jingxiao standing at the entrance of the palace. He looked so elegant and elegant that all the palace maids who passed by him lowered their heads and blushed.
She was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to him: "Why are you here?"
Mo Jingxiao smiled and said, "I thought you might slip out first, so I slipped out first and waited for you."
Ning Yujin reached out and touched his face: "It's so cold? How long have you been waiting here?"
"It didn't take long, you came out as soon as I arrived."
"Haha, let's go back to the palace as soon as possible. When we left, I had a hunch that the palace banquet would not be full. I had already asked Xia Zhu and Qiuyun to prepare a midnight snack. It should be just right to go back and eat now."
Mo Jingxiao nodded in agreement: "You should eat more to gain weight."
"Shit! What girls pursue is skinny. The longer they are, the prettier they are. Those who eat every day to gain weight are pigs!"
"Pig?" He glanced at someone's figure and said, "It's quite impressive."
"Mo Jingxiao, come here! I promise not to beat you to death!!!!!"
That time, the people in front of me, those peaceful and beautiful years.
Ning Yujin suddenly felt that she said something wrong.
Although the word love is the most irritating, it is also the most intoxicating.
Look, she is already addicted to it and can't extricate herself.
