Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly
Chapter 159 Learning about the birthday ceremony
Seeing that noon was approaching, Xia Keyu helped Mrs. Xia go to the banquet.
The rumored wet nurse of the third prince, Mrs. Wei, also arrived and was surrounded by Aunt Rong and Xia Kelian.It seemed that the mother and daughter were talking about something funny, which made Mrs. Wei laugh with wrinkles on her face.
Seeing Xia Keyu coming, Mrs. Wei should have saluted Xia Keyu, but she seemed to pretend not to know, and still sat in the main seat without moving. Instead, she asked Xia Kelian unruly:
"Is this Kelian's sister?"
Xia Keyu came today because he wanted to know what the third prince gave the emperor as a birthday gift, so naturally he would not antagonize this person.
Hearing this, he said politely, "It's me. I've heard of Mrs. Wei's name for a long time. It's a great honor to meet her today."
Mrs. Wei came from the countryside and couldn't hear Xia Keyu's polite words, so she asked curiously: "Where have you heard of me?"
Xia Keyu lied without changing his expression: "When Keyu entered the palace before, he heard Concubine Ning in the palace praise Mrs. Wei for taking good care of the third prince."
Mrs. Wei was most afraid of Concubine Ning, the third prince's biological mother. After hearing Xia Keyu's words, she believed them to be true. She immediately smiled from ear to ear and her attitude toward Xia Keyu improved.
When Aunt Rong and Xia Kelian saw Xia Keyu pleasing Mrs. Wei so much, they felt more and more proud that they had reached a high branch.
When the banquet officially started, Xia Fengyuan also rushed over specially.
He was quite kind to Xia Keyu, acting like a loving father whom he had not seen and thought about for a long time; he was also kind and amiable to Xia Kelian, and there was no trace of the avoidance he had shown before.
Xia Keyu knew exactly what this heartless father had in mind.
Xia Fengyuan had been in intrigues for half his life, dreaming of being promoted.
Nowadays, the emperor in the palace is getting older day by day, and the two most powerful sons are the prince and the third prince.
So this time, like a bet, Xia Fengyuan wanted to marry his eldest daughter into the Duke Chu's palace, and he was of the same faction as the prince; on the other hand, he asked Xia Kelian to worship the third prince's wet nurse as his godmother, and Tian Xiaoan was in the third prince's house. Work under the prince.
In this way, no matter who wins or loses between the crown prince and the third prince, his benefits will be indispensable.
It's just that ordinary officials avoid the matter of establishing a heir apparent, lest they get involved in it and die without a burial place.Xia Fengyuan was so dedicated to business that he really wasn't afraid that one day he would die, and he didn't know how he would die.
At the banquet, Xia Keyu was full of compliments to Mrs. Wei, which made Xia Kelian's tail rise to the sky.
Look, even if Xia Keyu is the head of the county, she still has to please her godmother.
Xia Keyu took the initiative to stir up the topic and asked: "Kelian, I wonder what affairs my brother-in-law is responsible for in the third prince's house?"
As soon as these words came out, even Xia Fengyuan looked at Xia Kelian, his eyes full of inquiry.
Xia Kelian had been waiting for Xia Keyu to ask for a long time. Now she became the focus of everyone, and she hurriedly exaggerated:
"Now the third prince's house is preparing His Majesty's birthday gift, and Xiao'an is mainly responsible for this."
Xia Keyu paused while holding the ribs in his hands, feeling secretly happy that the fish had taken the bait.
She said deliberately casually:
"Oh? Really? I didn't know that my brother-in-law was so talented and could be respected by the third prince." There was a bit of doubt in his tone.
Xia Kelian was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so she hurriedly continued to explain:
"Really, Xiao'an has sent people to capture some auspicious beast and plans to present it to the Holy One. I heard him say that it will be transported to the capital in just a few days."
After saying that, she also asked Mrs. Wei on the side for confirmation: "Goddess, what I said is right." Mrs. Wei also heard about it. Her son also worked under the third prince, so she nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, these times They are very busy today.”
After all, Xia Fengyuan has always been a minor official and has never held any central position. After hearing these words, he believed Xia Kelian's words deeply.
Only Xia Keyu nodded silently. It turns out that the birthday gift presented to the emperor by the third prince was a so-called auspicious beast. No wonder the emperor in the previous life liked this gift so much.
At that moment, he pretended to be happy and said: "Come, Mrs. Wei, you are the elder, I want to toast you~"
Mrs. Wei hurriedly had a drink with Xia Keyu.In the eyes of Aunt Rong, who had been silent all this time, all this took on another meaning.
While Xia Fengyuan was about to continue going to court, Aunt Rong called her daughter over and warned:
"My silly girl, you haven't seen that little bitch has been trying to please Mrs. Wei. You have to be careful and don't let her take advantage of Mrs. Wei."
Xia Kelian suddenly realized it, gritted her teeth, tugged at the handkerchief in her hand, and said:
"Mom, thank you for reminding me. Don't worry. I won't let her succeed at the table later. In private, I cried to Mrs. Wei and said that she has been bullying me. Mrs. Wei will definitely not treat her badly. A good impression."
Aunt Rong nodded with satisfaction.
When Xia Kelian came back, she was no longer so polite when she spoke. She spoke in a shady and arrogant manner, saying, "My good sister, now that your mother is not around, you are pitiful."
Xia Keyu didn't get used to her and retorted directly: "Kelian, you are the one. Since my mother left home, you have really lost your mother."
After all, Fan Shuyao was Xia Kelian's legitimate mother. Even if she crawled out of Aunt Rong's belly, she could only be called Auntie in front of outsiders.
Xia Kelian was choked by Xia Keyu's words for a moment, and finally she said coquettishly to Mrs. Wei: "Fortunately, I have a godmother who loves me now."
After saying that, she looked at Xia Keyu with threatening eyes, signaling Xia Keyu not to have any ideas about her godmother.
Xia Keyu almost died laughing when she saw her. The godmother she wanted to recognize was Princess Liang from Prince Liang's house.
If it hadn't been for the fact that Prince Liang's family was still observing the mourning period, he would have held a grand ceremony for her to recognize her as her daughter.
She had sent some ice cubes to Prince Liang's house before, and Prince Liang directly asked someone to give her a mountain top.
I heard from the people under my command that in a while, the fruits on the mountain will be ripe, and some will be sent over then.
How could she ignore the serious princess and snatch a wet nurse?
Telling it would make you laugh out loud.
As soon as he left the Xia family's door, Xia Keyu wrote a letter and had it delivered to the Duke of Chu's house.
On the one hand, she wanted to tell what kind of auspicious beast the third prince was going to give to His Majesty as a birthday gift. Since the third prince had been unkind to her before, there was no need for her to hold back and have this auspicious beast poisoned to death.
It can be regarded as revenge on the third prince's house.
On the other hand, he asked Chu Yuan to help him select a few beautiful concubines and send them to Xia Fengyuan for a suitable reason.
Her father and Aunt Rong have lived in peace for too long, and it's time for the Xia family to become lively.
