Chapter four hundred and thirtieth, guest, only one
There is more distance between the pavilions of Prince Rui's Mansion. Compared with the old aristocratic families, Prince Rui's Mansion is a newly opened mansion. This house was originally an old residence of a royal family that was raided. It was renovated before moving in. The scenery now looks like
Rebuilding on the original basis with the help of the old scenery.
There are weeping willows on the shore of the lake. Feng Lanxiu’s banquet was placed under the weeping willows. There were no rockery pavilions and flowing water, only tents that had just been set up to block the sun. The willows were slightly rippled by the wind and the gauze curtains were fluttering. It was an excellent viewing experience.
A good place to escape the summer heat.
There is only one guest, Li Xian, the prince of the Marquis of Yangshan.
The wind blew up the skirt of his clothes, and a few willow leaves fell on it. Li Xian picked up a willow leaf on his clothes, put it to his lips and blew it gently. The willow leaves flew out, and took advantage of the wind to glide for a while, and finally
Falling to the ground.
"Feng Yu has granted me a marriage." Feng Lanxiu put down a glass of wine in his hand. The leaves of the wine were clear and mellow, and the color of the wine was as bright as flowers. This was the tribute wine from the Western Regions.
Li Xian picked up the glass of wine in front of him, took a sip, and then put it down: "The wine is good."
"If you like it, I still have some at my place. You can take some back later." Feng Lanxiu's mind was not on the wine. Seeing him like this, he said casually.
"Then I will thank the prince." Li Xian said with a smile.
"Chu Zihan is really useless." Feng Lanxiu's face darkened.
"Time is also fate!" Li Xian shook his head helplessly, "I originally thought that my cousin was lucky, but I didn't expect that with the absence of Mr. Lanxuan County, his luck would be gone."
Once upon a time, everyone in the capital felt that Chu Zihan was lucky to be able to marry Yu Lanxuan in the prosperous Zhengyuanhou Mansion. Zhengyuanhou loved his daughter very much, and because An Guogong's maternal ancestors were here, he could become a princess.
But that's it.
"Chu Zihan thought he had always been so lucky. He was Yu Lanxuan at first, and now he is Yu Xijiao." Feng Lanxiu also picked up the wine cup and took a sip. The color of the wine was like flowers, which was pleasing to the eye. After that, Feng Lan calmed down.
Xiu's mood seemed to be less depressed than before.
"Your Majesty, I thought it was okay to let my cousin do it." Feng Lanxiu said casually, which sounded like a joke.
"Yeah, who knew it would be like this." Li Xian shook his head, "He looked like a character before, how could he... suddenly become like this?"
The so-called point of view is what Chu Zihan looks like now.
"Your cousin... it's a pity." Feng Lanxiu sighed. He had really wanted to recruit her before, otherwise he would not have stopped the carriage on Chu Zihan's wedding day and got down to send a few blessings.
"It's no pity. My cousin found all this by himself." Li Xian chuckled lightly, and his smile was very shallow. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see his smile.
"A successful woman, a ruined woman." Feng Lanxiu nodded in agreement. His father had previously hinted that he wanted to re-employ Chu Zihan, but it was Chu Zihan who brought the matter to such an awkward point. "It's not bad now, at least the emperor is so kind.
Gave him a chance."
"Father has always valued talented people." Feng Lanxiu said, looking at the wine glass in front of him.
Talented person? Li Xian smiled more and more frivolously: "The emperor has shown him great kindness. I only hope that he will not take detours in the future and find his own path."
Li Xian understood the unfinished meaning in his words, and Feng Lanxiu also understood.
Chu Zihan left Xinkangbo Mansion. From then on, the crown prince of Xinkangbo was Chu Zidan. As for where Chu Zihan went, only a few people knew, and the two people present happened to be insiders.
"Feng Yu is now married to Miss Yu San." Feng Lanxiu didn't care too much about Chu Zihan, but Chu Zihan ruined his affairs.
"Your Majesty, actually this... is not necessarily a bad thing." Li Xiandao.
"What's the explanation?" Feng Lanxiu asked.
"The decree of marriage has been granted. How long do you think it will take for the prince to get married?" Li Xian leaned back and took a spin in his loose robe, making him feel more elegant and comfortable.
Feng Lanxiu calculated: "I and my second brother will get married first, and then they will get married. For me, it will have to be next year at least. Even if he is faster, he will get married later than me."
"That means it's been at least a year and a half?" Li Xian asked.
The royal ceremony is different from ordinary people's, and it is much more complicated. For a formal ceremony, the Ministry of Ceremonies will follow the order. This ceremony will take at least a year.
"It should be that after this king, there will be side concubines who want to come in. Even if the side concubines are not as good as the main concubine, in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the eldest should get married first, and then the youngest." Feng Lanxiu thought about it.
Wanted to add.
First, I will discuss it from my own perspective, and then I will discuss it from the perspective of Xuanping Pinghou Mansion. It will take a long time to complete this discussion.
"So, how about this marriage, it may not happen yet, and the prince does not need to worry about being implicated." Li Xian blinked and smiled.
He picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank half of the glass, with a slightly drunken look on his face, "Your Majesty, I can't say that my cousin's fault may not be a good thing for you."
After saying this, Feng Lanxiu fell silent, his eyes thoughtful.
"Blessings are where misfortunes lie, and misfortunes are where blessings are based!" Li Xian's voice was very soft, but every word caught my ears...
Yu Xijiao was waiting outside the main hall. This was her first time entering the palace alone.
The Queen Mother granted her a marriage, and she went into the harem to express her gratitude. She thanked the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
She had been standing outside the hall for a while. Although she was on the corridor, she couldn't get too close because the sun was already shining slantly on her.
Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at the palace attendants in the main hall, with a trace of anger flashing in her eyes. She said she couldn't get too close, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to embarrass her own girl.
Another woman came over from a distance. She looked extremely weak, as if she could fall over if the wind blew. Her steps were sloppy, her face was pale, and she felt that she was not in good health.
A palace maid led her over and took her inside a little, fearing that she would really faint from the sun.
Just as they stood still, a chamberlain came out and greeted him with a smile: "Miss Fang, Miss Yu, please come in."
Miss Fang? Fang Yuxia, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, who will be the future Crown Princess of Zhongshan. I heard that she has been ill since she was given the marriage, but she is almost well now?
Yu Xi's eyes turned slightly, and she followed Fang Yulu inside.
Fang Yulu walked very slowly, and Yu Xijiao walked very slowly. They entered the hall one after the other.
The hall was filled with laughter and laughter. Sitting in the middle was the queen. Sitting on each side was a concubine. They were chatting and laughing with the queen. When they heard the movement at the door, the two concubines looked calmly at the two aristocratic families who came in.
Thousands of gold.
Fang Yulu and the others had met Fang Yulu before, and she was quite good-looking. However, the sick look on her face now was probably because she was hit by the marriage proposal. It had been a long time since the marriage proposal was announced, and she only came here to thank her now. It was obvious that she was seriously ill.
Nowadays, I am forced to do this. Marrying the prince of Zhongshan is really hard to say.
Her eyes fell from Fang Yulu's body to Yu Xijiao's body. Her face was so delicate and beautiful that it made people marvel at the sight of it. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion actually had such an outstanding little daughter. Fortunately, she is now betrothed to King Qi.
This devil incarnate, otherwise his appearance would be really extraordinary if he were older.
When the two concubines looked at them, Fang Yulu and Yu Xijiao had already paid homage to the queen to express their gratitude.
"Is Miss Fang's health better?" After the queen said goodbye, her eyes fell on Fang Yulu and asked gently.
As soon as she raised her hand, a palace maid came over and helped Fang Yulu up.
"Report to the Queen, my daughter is almost healed." Fang Yulu said in a low voice.
"Come and take a look at this palace." The queen waved to Fang Yulu.
Fang Yulu came closer, raised her eyes and timidly bowed sideways: "The Queen."
"No need to be polite!" The queen smiled more and more gently, "I heard that you were in poor health before. Have you had the imperial doctor take a look at you? How about the medicine you are taking?"
"Thank you to the Empress for sending the imperial doctor to the palace. My daughter is almost healed now. It's just some old problems that are not worthy of the Empress' concern."
Fang Yulu said.
"How old are you? What old problems are you talking about? If you have old problems, what will I do?" The Queen smiled and pointed to the chair next to her, "Sit down first and answer. It will be easy for the wind to blow.
That’s it, I’m really afraid that you’ll faint here.”
The queen treated her so kindly, and Fang Yulu was busy thanking her.
A palace maid came over and helped Fang Yulu sit down on a chair on the side.
Yu Xijiao knelt quietly, listening to everything around her. A chill flashed through her eyes. She kept talking to Fang Yulu, exposing herself here. Besides the situation of standing outside before, she still didn't understand why the queen
He was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
The queen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it down. Just as she was about to talk to Yu Xijiao, a concubine had already smiled and said: "Queen, I heard that the girls in the house of the Minister of Rites are the most knowledgeable and courteous.
Some etiquette may be better than men's, could this be the person you are talking about?"
The Queen smiled: "It is indeed her. The eldest girl from the House of the Minister of Rites is a famous and talented woman in the capital. I have heard about her in the palace for a long time."
"It's actually this girl. I was still guessing about my identity just now and didn't dare to say anything. Sister Yu took the lead." Another concubine also joked.
There was no one in the palace who didn't have a delicate heart. The Queen was clearly trying to give the future Crown Princess of Qi a show of strength, so they naturally had the discernment to cooperate.
"Speaking of whether to be first or not, the Minister of Rites teaches his daughter well. Many people in the capital are praising him. The prince of Zhongshan is really lucky to marry such a beautiful woman." The former concubine pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Empress,
Miss Fang is feeling unwell. Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look? I feel that Miss Fang’s health is not fully recovered yet.”
The queen smiled: "Then go and ask the imperial doctor to come over. Now that you have entered the palace, you have to take a good look at it."
"Thank you, Queen." Fang Yulu stood up and thanked her.
"Okay, let's help Miss Fang sit down!" the queen said kindly with a smile. The maid hurriedly helped Fang Yulu sit down again, and specially placed a cushion behind her to make her lean against her softly.
The Queen cares about it, and they, the slaves, care about it. As for those who are dissatisfied, it can be seen that the Queen doesn't like it.
"Miss Yu San..." The queen finally laid her eyes on Yu Xijiao and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then a servant fell in...
