Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 504 Banquet (3)
This place is where the banquet is held.

There are bluegrass around the pavilion, and there are exquisite painting boats parked in the surrounding water. You can take a boat to visit the scenery at any time, and there is also a promenade that surrounds the entire Taiye Pool, which stretches beyond the horizon and is extremely spectacular.

There were pretty palace maids standing around, and after a while, an older court lady stepped forward and said, "The imperial concubine will arrive later, so ladies and gentlemen, let's have fun on your own first, don't be restrained."

"Yes, I would like to obey my mother's will." When everyone heard the words, they all bowed their knees and agreed, not daring to neglect.

At this moment, groups of court ladies in the same clothes placed all kinds of fashionable melons, fruits, snacks, and drinks in the pavilion with great ease, and retreated silently.

Since the imperial concubine has not come yet, and it seems that she will not come in a short time, it seems that they are deliberately letting them get along with each other, so everyone relaxed a little and started talking in small groups.

However, everyone has a tacit understanding to avoid the Longze Pavilion in the middle, and most of them are playing on the promenade surrounding the Taiye Pool, sitting on the beauties on the porch, blowing the warm wind, and looking at the distant scenery , while chatting, not to mention how comfortable it is.

There are also a few young girls who went directly to the painting boat, and asked the little eunuch who punted the boat to take them around to have a good time, and some girls directly broke willow branches and dipped them in the water and nodded.

When Concubine Hu Gui, Concubine Sun Shu and Concubine Zhou De came together in a phoenix sedan chair, the lively atmosphere here was broken, and everyone hurried over to salute and say hello.

Concubine Hu Gui's face was livid, and she asked Wang Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the matter, "What's going on?"

Wang Zhong is the eunuch of Yongning Palace, that is, the imperial concubine's person, and his relative is Wang Bing, the powerful eunuch next to the imperial concubine.

Wang Zhong heard the words, with a smile, he said respectfully: "Returning to the imperial concubine, today is the Shangsi Festival, and the imperial concubine has issued a decree, so that all the wives and ladies don't have to be restrained, just treat it as an outing in the countryside and swim in the lake, and you can have fun .”

Concubine Hu Guifei heard the words, her lungs were going to explode, and today she was going to choose a concubine for her eldest prince, she was still thinking, no matter what, she had to stand up one by one, and it was best to show off her talents and specialties, so that she could Well chosen, even she is ready, what is going on now?

Ganqing is not her son, she is not Shangxin, is she?

The third prince born out of Concubine Shu is only one year younger than the Eldest Prince, and she intends to choose the right one, so when she hears that the imperial concubine is making such a fool, her expression is a bit unsightly.

Only Concubine De, who has nothing to do with her, is a little gloating.

She has only given birth to one princess, who is now only 11 years old.The adopted sixth prince is only eight years old now, and it's not yet time to choose a concubine, so she just came to join in the fun this time.

When all the wives saw Concubine Hu Gui angry, they all lowered their heads like quails, pretending not to see her ugly face.

However, they are not afraid of Concubine Hu Gui, after all it is the order of Concubine Hu Gui, so they naturally know whose words carry more weight.

Only those who wholeheartedly wanted their daughters to be the eldest concubine would think of currying favor with Concubine Hu Gui.He even thought that if Concubine Hu Guifei and Concubine Huang Guifei really confront each other and have a conflict, they must stand on Concubine Hu Guifei's side.But the imperial concubine can't be offended, otherwise, if the eldest concubine is not regarded as a concubine, the family will be implicated.

After all, Concubine Hu suppressed her anger and asked, "When will Concubine Huang come over?"

If the imperial concubine didn't come, she didn't dare to sit down.

Could it be that she should be allowed to sit with these people as a dignified concubine?
Wang Zhong said with a smile: "When the imperial concubine is supposed to come, she will naturally come."

Concubine Hu Gui gave a cold snort, and took people to sit in Suihan Pavilion, which was not too far away, Concubine Shu and Concubine De also followed.

Seeing Concubine Hu Gui, many big-hearted women, including Huo Lingyun, were ready to move, wanting to ingratiate themselves and show off, but Concubine Hu Gui was in a fit of anger at this time, and they couldn't bear it, so they had to endure it for the time being.

Ji Suyue is not interested in Concubine Hu Gui, she just wonders if His Majesty will come over.

If the Majesty is here, how should she attract his attention?
What should she do if His Majesty doesn't come?Do you want to follow the path of the imperial concubine?

But it is well known that the imperial concubine is jealous, so how could she help her?

Just when Ji Suyue was thinking about how to get Su Wan to help her, Su Wan was receiving Chen Yaqin in the west ear room of the back hall of Qinzheng Palace - Yanxi Hall.

Chen Yaqin did not go to Xiyuan, but directly entered the palace.

Chen Yaqin will enter the palace because there are still two girls who are waiting to be married at home, but they are only thirteen or fourteen years old. Because she has the best relationship with the imperial concubine, Mrs. Tai ordered her to bring the two little cousins ​​into the palace , not necessarily to be a princess, it would be nice to find a suitable family.

Then when Chen Yaqin came to see Su Wan, she naturally brought them along.

Brother Yu was married more than a year ago, married to the second son of Shen Guogong's mansion, he is really good character, and quite talented, even if he can't inherit the title in the future, he still has a lot to do.

Su Wan had seen these two girls from Dingyuanhou's Mansion before, but they were still young at that time, so she didn't have much impression of them.

Su Wan took a closer look at them, all of them looked pretty good, one of them came in without squinting, behaved well, and the other was a little too lively, after only staying for a while, she couldn't help it, and started sizing up quietly with her eyes, He even took a sneaky look at Su Wan.After being discovered by Su Wan, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Chen Yaqin also saw it, and immediately frowned, but said nothing.

Su Wan directly sent someone to send the two Deng girls to Xiyuan. With them, Su Wan felt uncomfortable even talking to Chen Yaqin.

As soon as they left, Chen Yaqin couldn't help but said angrily: "Obviously, I have already taught the rules before, if I had known that she was still...unable to appear on the stage, even if the old lady gave the order, I would not bring her into the palace .”

Su Wan smiled slightly and didn't say anything. That girl was the daughter of a concubine from the third house of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. She was brought up by her aunt since she was a child, and the rules can be imagined.

Su Wan asked people to call Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan to come and meet Chen Yaqin.

The two little guys came over soon, because Su Wan often called Chen Yaqin in to talk, and they knew her by now, so they called "Aunt Qin" sweetly.

"Let Aunt Qin take a look, are you heavy?"

Chen Yaqin always liked children, seeing these two cute and cunning little guys, hearing them calling her in a baby voice, her heart almost melted, she immediately smiled, hugged this one, kissed that one , just can't bear to let go.

"Oh, if I had these two precious eggs, I would be willing to die." After playing with them for a while, Chen Yaqin let them go reluctantly, and said with a smile.
