Chapter 81 Birthday Banquet (2)

The female family members of the Yao family in the Dingyuan Hou's mansion and the Sheng's family in the Shengchang Hou's mansion entered the Hanging Flower Gate, and a young woman in a silver-red embroidered peony-patterned beanie greeted her with a smile: "Mrs. Yes, the eldest princess has read it several times."

After all, I saluted the two ladies generously.

She is the second daughter-in-law of Princess Wen Jing, and the fourth miss Yao Shi of Dingyuan Houfu.

Mrs. Sheng helped her up and called her Second Mistress.

Dong Yuan's natal family had no relationship with the Shengchanghou's Mansion before, but they were related by marriage to the Dingyuanhou's Mansion. Dong Yuan naturally knew that an aunt from the fourth cousin's in-law's family had married into the Mansion of Princess Wenjing.

Princess Wen Jing's son-in-law's surname is Xia, and the Yao family's aunt should be Xia's second grandmother.

Second Grandma Xia looked at the female relatives of the Sheng family with a smile, and Mrs. Sheng introduced them one by one.

"I saw it at a glance. It must be the nine girls from Zhenxianhou's mansion who are newly married to your house." Second Grandma Xia laughed heartily, and praised Dong Yuan to Mrs. Sheng with a smile, "I heard that the nine girls from the Xue family have a beautiful appearance. , It's not fake at all, he really is like a fairy."

Dong Yuan saluted her with a smile: "Second Grandma is too famous, Xue can't afford it." She smiled lightly, her demeanor was calm and generous, modest and docile.

Second Grandma Xia nodded with a smile, as if she had a good first impression of Dong Yuan.She is about 30 years old, loves to talk and laugh, cheerful and enthusiastic.He entertained the female relatives of the Sheng family, and greeted her natal sister-in-law, nephew, daughter-in-law, and niece.

Talking and laughing, they led the female relatives of Sheng and Yao's mansions to the boat hall in the main hall of the inner courtyard.

A servant girl had reported to Princess Wen Jing long ago, saying that the wives and grandmas of the Marquis of Shengchang and Marquis Dingyuan had arrived.

Princess Wen Jing stood up and greeted the two Mrs. Hou Ye in person.

"It so happened that you met one place." Princess Wen Jing was older than the two wives Sheng and Yao, and when she smiled, her eyes narrowed into a line, and she was amiable.

Dong Yuan met Princess Wen Jing once three years ago.At that time, Princess Wen Jing was very plump.She is not tall, and her plumpness makes her look kind and gentle.Compared with three years ago, she seemed to be more prosperous.

Princess Wen Jing, the female family member of the Yao family of Dingyuan Hou, knew each other well, but she was not very familiar with Dong Yuan, the grandma of the Sheng family, and Miss Qin Yi, the cousin.

Mrs. Sheng introduced Dong Yuan and Qin Yi to Princess Wen Jing.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess and the fifth aunt of the Sheng family also came forward to greet Mrs. Sheng.

Princess Wen Jing took Dong Yuan's hand, said with a smile, "I met her once a few years ago, and she looks even better." Then she pulled the cousin Qin Yi, "This is also a rare beauty."

Qin Yi said softly: "The eldest princess is overwhelmed."

"I look at this appearance, and I have a good temperament." Xia's grandma, Sheng Shi, leaned aside, looked at her cousin Qin Yi with a smile, ignored Dong Yuan, and smiled at her elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Sheng, "Sister-in-law, you This niece looks and looks like someone from the Sheng family." Then she smiled at Eldest Princess Wen Jing, "Mother, do you think this cousin and my eldest nephew are a match made in heaven?"

The eldest nephew is referring to Dong Yuan's new husband Sheng Xiuyi.The fifth aunt, in front of Dong Yuan, said that Sheng Xiuyi's aunt and cousin had a relationship with Sheng Xiuyi.

Qin Yi was shocked, raised his eyes but avoided Grandma Xia Sheng Shi, looked at the eldest princess in fear, his eyes trembled slightly, as if he was seeking the protection of the eldest princess.

Madam Sheng's face became unnatural for a moment.

But Princess Wen Jing looked at Xue Dongyuan.

Dong Yuan glanced at the expressions of the crowd, he was amused in his heart, but he smiled lightly on his face, standing respectfully beside Mrs. Sheng without speaking, pretending that he didn't understand.

All the elders present, she is not only the new daughter-in-law of the Sheng family, but also a guest of the eldest princess's mansion, so it is not her turn to intervene in such occasions.

People from Dingyuan Hou Tao's family also watched the excitement.

The female relatives sitting in the boat hall didn't understand what they were doing blocking the door, and looked around one after another.

Xue Dongting, Dong Yuan's fourth cousin, saw her cousin being made things difficult by Grandma Xia, and Dong Yuan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Sheng, seemed to be afraid of Grandma Xia, and she was soft-tempered, unwilling to stand up for Dong Yuan, and she felt instantly relieved.

Her cousin is the continuation wife of the Sheng family, not bad, but she is also the daughter of the Xue family, the Princess Roujia bestowed by the imperial court.Dong Yuan is newly married, so naturally she has to pretend to be virtuous, and refuses to speak harshly to each other.But I can't let others bully the members of the Xue family, otherwise my grandmother should feel distressed.

The sisters are married, but the blood of the Xue family still flows in their bones, and they will always be a family.If the family does not help the family, others will laugh at it.

Xue Dongting took two steps forward, interposed between Princess Wen Jing and Miss Biao Qin Yi, and said with a bright smile: "Grandma said that Miss Biao and my ninth brother-in-law are a match made in heaven, let me see." She looked at Qin with a smile in her eyes. Yi, staring at Qin Yi's back in a daze.

As soon as Qin Yi was about to say something, Xue Dongting laughed, let go of Qin Yi, deliberately pretended to be intimate with Grandma Xia Sheng, held her arm and pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandma is too coercive! Miss Biao has a graceful appearance and a full heaven , is obviously blessed, but Grandma insists that she is an aunt!"

After all, he laughed.

Sheng Xiuyi just got married, and Dong Yuan is her regular wife.Even if Miss Biao is a match made in heaven with him, she is also destined to be an aunt.

As he spoke, Qin Yi's face turned red and white, and his eyes were filled with tears, showing a pitiful appearance.

Princess Wen Jing burst out laughing suddenly, and tapped Grandma Xia Sheng's forehead: "Such a big man, but still so naughty."

Use jokes to cover up Grandma Xia's words.

Princess Wen Jing was blaming the eldest daughter-in-law for her recklessness in her heart, and she didn't know how to respond to such irrelevant words.If it is said that there is an appearance made in heaven, the one who offends it is Miss Xue's Ninth Lady, the imperial princess Roujia.If he said no, he slapped his daughter-in-law again.

Princess Wen Jing always protects her weaknesses and saves face. In front of outsiders, it is impossible for her to say anything wrong about her daughter-in-law.

Xue Dongting joked and gave Princess Wen Jing a step down. Grandma Xia Sheng's words of embarrassing Dong Yuan turned into teasing Miss Cousin Qin Yi.

Although Qin Yi was aggrieved, he finally saved the face of his daughter-in-law and Princess Roujia. Princess Wen Jing was very satisfied with Xue Dongting's spoiling the situation.

"This monkey in our family can't hold her anywhere!" Seeing that Xue Dongting had saved the place, Mrs. Tao also stepped forward with a smile, and scolded Xue Dongting, "Come back quickly, there are no rules and no rules, I am the face of a mother-in-law!" You've lost everything. Look at your ninth younger sister, she is a good and gentle wife. Oh, come from a family, tell me, why is there so much difference? Or am I not as lucky as Mrs. Sheng?"

After cursing and laughing, not only the eldest princess, but also Mrs. Sheng's complexion improved a lot.The tense situation just now was resolved in an instant.

The eldest princess greeted Xue Dongting, asked her to be by her side, and said to Mrs. Tao: "You don't care about it? I like it very much." She patted Xue Dongting's hand again, "Good boy, stay with me for a while longer .”

Grandma Xia saw that she had lost the opportunity, so she couldn't embarrass Dong Yuan anymore, so she also laughed, and hugged the eldest princess from the other side: "Mother, third grandma Tao will stay longer, if she is by your side, then we will take care of you." Who is going?"

"We just happened to be lazy." Second Grandma Xia generously took Grandma Xia's arm, "Sister-in-law, Third Grandma Tao is serving your mother, you and I go to the front to greet guests."

In this way, grandma Xia Sheng was pulled out.

Madam Sheng's complexion completely changed.

The big maids around Princess Wen Jing led Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Yao to their seats respectively.

There were still several wives present, but they were not as prominent as Sheng and Yao, and they came to greet the two wives one after another.

The maids brought tea, Dong Yuan and others drank tea and listened to the gossip of Princess Wen Jing, Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Yao.

The second grandma of the Sheng family, Ge Shi, saw that Xue Dongting, Dong Yuan's cousin, was good at speaking and was loved by her mother-in-law. The eldest princess even praised her, so she knew that Xue Dongting was not to be provoked.If Ge Shi dared to make Dong Yuan unhappy again, he would probably end up like Qin Yi who was crying beside him.

She secretly inhaled, sat on the sidelines and did not dare to say much.

As for Qin Yi, his face flushed with embarrassment.She didn't offend anyone, but she became a victim of grandma Xia Sheng's quarrel with Dong Yuan and Mrs. Sheng.Grandma Xia didn't dare to speak publicly about her nephew, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, so she took her, an orphan girl who was dependent on others, for surgery.

Thinking about it, Qin Yi suddenly suppressed the tears in his eyes and clenched his hands tightly.

Xue Dongting is lively and kind, and the sisters-in-law of the Tao family are very united. The eldest princess is surrounded by their family members and often laughs.In comparison, the members of the Sheng family seemed much quieter.

While talking, Second Grandma Xia ran in in a panic, bypassed the crowd, looked straight at Dong Yuan, and then leaned over to whisper a few words to Princess Wen Jing.

Her inexplicable glance made Dong Yuan's heart tremble slightly.

Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Sheng were sitting next to Princess Wen Jing. They didn't hear what Second Grandma Xia said, but saw Princess Wen Jing's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly stood up.

She concealed her shocked expression, said sorry to Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Sheng, and followed Second Grandma Xia out of the boat hall.

"What happened?" Mrs. Tao looked at Mrs. Sheng anxiously.

Of course something happened, or something big happened.

Mrs. Sheng shook her head: "No way, it's a happy day..."

Just as he was wondering, he saw Grandma Xia Sheng came in with a tall and slender woman around 30 years old on her arm.The woman was wearing a silver-red phoenix auspicious gown, and a phoenix tin adorned with red and sapphires on her head. Her eyes were slender, her cheekbones were high, and she looked very mean.

Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Tao stood up one after another, waiting for the woman to come forward, saluted her, and called her Princess Hexu.

The eldest princess is the aunt of Emperor Yuanchang, and the eldest princess is the elder sister of Emperor Yuanchang.

Princess Hexu...

Dong Yuan recalled that time when she went to the palace after the Laba Festival to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager said that Dongshu, the eleventh girl of the Xue family, looked a bit like a princess.

Dong Yuan couldn't see that Xue Dongshu looked like Princess Hexu, but he knew that this princess was very popular with the Queen Mother.

She was about to pay her respects when she heard Princess Hexu's sarcasm in her voice: "Is this the Han family's birth? Why, hasn't the Han family died yet?"

There was a strong hatred for the Han family and the Han family in his tone.
