Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 63
On November [-]th, the birthday of Princess Lingxi arrived as scheduled, and the entire General Military Mansion began to be busy from the moment of Mao.

Everywhere was laid out properly, and the servants also changed into bright clothes, and the entire General Military Mansion exuded a beaming atmosphere from inside to outside.

Xiaoyan and Yunxi went to the main courtyard together to kowtow to Princess Lingxi Zhan for her birthday, and then personally helped her clean up.

The whole family accompanied Princess Lingxi to eat longevity noodles. The long noodles were so tasty that even Yun Xi, who didn't like noodles in the past and present, ate them all.

After eating breakfast, Xiaoyan went to watch the servants clean up the arrangement in person, leaving Yunxi to accompany Princess Lingxi to change her clothes.

Who said today is the eldest princess's birthday, but after all, it's not a whole sale, and she's pregnant, so the eldest princess Lingxi didn't want to wear a full set of formal attire. Bu Yao, it is said that this Bu Yao was given by the Empress Dowager. There are two in total, one for the Empress and the other for Princess Lingxi.

Yunxi picked a blooming red peony from the greenhouse to help her hairpin, which is just the icing on the cake, making it even more luxurious and luxurious.

"Mother is so beautiful!"

Jun Xi took a few steps back and looked at the well-arranged Princess Lingxi, and praised her sincerely.

"Come here." Princess Lingxi waved to her.

Jun Xi obediently stepped forward, watching Jiang Nanny took an exquisite box from the dressing table, opened it and handed it to Princess Lingxi.

Princess Lingxi smiled and took out a mutton fat jade bud from inside, with a delicate lotus flower engraved on the jade on her head, and inserted it in Yunxi's bun.

"Mother?" Yun Xi asked.

"It was given to me by the first emperor on my 14th birthday. Now I'm giving it to you. It's just right for you to carry it." Princess Lingxi said with emotion.

"Thank you, mother." Yun Xi's eye circles became hot, and she held back again, "This is too precious, why didn't you leave it to my sister?"

Princess Lingxi patted Yunxi's hand reassuringly, and said, "She has many."

Helping Princess Lingxi went to the main hall and sat down. When Xiaoyan came out, she saw the Bu Yao on Yun Xi's head, and whispered in Yun Xi's ear: "This is mother's favorite Bu Yao, you Don't break it."

"Yes." Yunxi replied solemnly.

After a while, the guests came to pay their respects one after another. The male guests were received by Chu Weijing with a statement in the front yard, while the female guests were led to the backyard by Xiaoyan and Yunxi.

Because of the identity of the princess Lingxi, this arrangement can only be considered appropriate by others.

The family members of Chu Weijing's generals and other family members came first. Their husbands all served under Chu Weijing's command, and their own rank was low, so they didn't dare to accept the full gift from Xiaoyan and Yunxi. Quickly help up.

Mrs. Li Shenjiang, who took the lead, smiled and said: "We are not noble people, how can we be worthy of the princess and the second lady's gift, there are many guests here today, you must have worked hard, here we are No need to be too polite."

She is also from Yanjing, and she has known Princess Lingxi since she was in her boudoir, and now her husband is Chu Weijing's subordinate, so she is even closer in her heart.

It's just that although she is flattering, because of her frank words and the thoughts of Xiaoyan and Yunxi, people only think that she is a generous and amiable person.

"Then Xiaoyan would like to thank Madam for her kindness." With a smile on her face, Xiaoyan finally had a happy blessing, and she said that He Yunxi led them to the eldest princess to pay their respects to her birthday.

A group of people have just been settled here, and a nun outside reported that the magistrate's wife has arrived...

After finally arranging all the wives and ladies properly, Yun Xi only felt that smoke was coming out of her throat, so she drank a glass of honey water with Xiao He's hand, and then she felt a little more strength.

"The lady of the Chu family has arrived."

Hearing Mammy's report, Yun Xi was startled. It's not too early for the Chu family to come. In terms of rank, his father's boss, General Min's wife, and Governor Yao's wife are already sitting in the main hall. They should be the first to come to get close to their relatives. Yes, it seems that the Chu family doesn't take the General Military Mansion very seriously.

Contempt is contempt, the etiquette that should be done must still be in place.Junxi and Xiaoyan exchanged glances, and they both got up and greeted them outside the door, but they didn't know that the flower hall had already exploded.

Mrs. Li, who was still sharp, spoke first, and said sarcastically: "It is said that the Chu family is the first family in Lin'an. I think it is not worthy of the name. They are so careless even to pay birthday wishes to the eldest princess. Can you still call it a family of poetry and etiquette?"

Princess Lingxi frowned slightly, and sighed: "After all, our son-in-law is just the concubine of the Chu family. There is a difference between the concubine and the concubine. Besides, the concubine is still alive. They can justify this."

General Min's wife is already in the age of obedience, her life has been smooth, and she is the most respectful person.Hearing what Eldest Princess Lingxi said, she immediately retorted: "Eldest Princess is young, and I know this is your filial piety, but this filial piety is also worth it. How can we talk about the difference with the concubine. I am afraid that they have forgotten their duty as a courtier."

Hearing what Mrs. Min said, the others kept echoing.

"That's right, that's right, General Chu's soldiers have already divided into sects, how can the Chu family treat him like a concubine again."

"Even if there is no branch clan, Chu Zongbing is already a son-in-law. Isn't the Chu family afraid of hurting the dignity of the royal family by treating Chu Zongbing like this?"

Every sentence of accusation was heard in the ears of the wives of the Chu family outside the door, and they were so ashamed that they couldn't lift their heads.

Although they didn't have a good impression of the General Military Mansion, they didn't dare to offend the eldest princess. They were planning to come to pay their respects early today.But who would have guessed that when she was about to leave, Mrs. Chu stubbornly said that she was going too, even the children and grandchildren in the house couldn't persuade her, so she had to wait for her to pack up slowly before leaving, so she came so late.

Mrs. Chu also heard the discussion in the room, but she is a person who has experienced a lot of troubles, her complexion returned to normal in a moment, she turned around and looked directly at Yunxi, it seemed that she wanted her to lift the curtain for herself.

Yun Xi pretended not to see it, and signaled the little maid at the door to lift the curtain to announce: "Mrs. and Miss Chu are here."

Mrs. Chu gave Yunxi a hard look, turned around and walked straight into the house, followed by Bai Shi, Fang Shi, Xiao Bai Shi, Chu Jinfu, Chu Jinrong and others.

"My wife and the female family members of the Chu family pay homage to the eldest princess." Mrs. Chu brought all the members of the Chu family to bow down. She thought she was Chu Weijing's aunt, and the eldest princess Lingxi had to order someone before she bowed down. Help her up.

Unexpectedly, she didn't hear the voice of Princess Lingxi until she bowed firmly.

Time seems to have stopped for a while at this moment, and Princess Lingxi seemed to have just realized it, and said with a smile: "Nurse quickly help Mrs. Chu, you are an elderly person, how can I accept you when I am young?" What a great gift."

After saying that, Princess Lingxi said apologetically: "I've been in a bad mood since I was pregnant, and I always lose my mind when I'm talking. No one reminded me, but I've neglected the old lady."

Hearing that Princess Lingxi called herself "Ben Gong" in her words, everyone present was a genius, and no one knew that she was embarrassing Mrs. Chu.

It's just that since Princess Lingxi has said so, they can't help but comfort them:

"There are differences between monarchs and ministers, this great gift should be given."

"The eldest princess is the most precious when she is pregnant. How can Mrs. Chu care about it?"

Every time you say something I say, Mrs. Chu's face turns blue and red.
