————————————————————

The emperor and the queen entered first, and the Qinxin Pavilion with octagonal eaves, Concubine Qi, Concubine Shuhui, Concubine Zhuang, and the virtuous concubine Yuanchun all followed in.The rest of the concubines set up their cases outside the Qinxin Pavilion.

The princes and grandchildren, the princes and princes, as well as the princes and princes who were invited, gathered at the east side of the Qinxin Pavilion and set up ten large round tables.On the west side of the Qinxin Pavilion, there were also ten big round tables, where the princesses, concubines, princesses and county lords were seated.

At this time, the seat has never been fixed like during the Chonghua Palace banquet.There are people of the same age who gather around the table, and those who have similar interests gather around the table, and there are even twos and threes who get along with each other on weekdays, or whisper and laugh, or look up at the moon, or bow their heads to drink tea...the list goes on and on.

Of course, as the eldest princess of the Holy Majesty, Princess Hanyi has always been the center of attention, especially on such occasions.

Daiyu looked at Hanyi who was gathered in the middle, smiled slightly, and sat down in a corner at random.Learning from the side, the two county heads of an unknown mansion looked up at the flowing clouds and the moon, smelling the faint fragrance of osmanthus in the wind, and let the moonlight pour quietly on their heads, faces, body.

Said it was watching the moon, but Daiyu was actually wandering in the sky, looking up at the bright moon, Daiyu recalled her previous life, even though many pictures had long been blurred, at this moment they kept flashing before her eyes for some reason.Sometimes, when Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were both together in the early years, the whole family gathers together, taking a walk in the garden while admiring the moon.

The fourth prince looked at Daiyu looking up at the bright moon from a distance, and couldn't help raising his head to look at the bright moon shining brightly in the sky.I don't know what I thought of, but I didn't turn my head to look at Daiyu again.

After looking for Daiyu for a while, Hanyi suddenly saw Daiyu sitting at a table in the far corner, looking up at the moon.Hastily chatted and laughed with the people around me, and quietly came to Daiyu's side.Daiyu didn't notice anything, she still raised her head and was strangely silent.

Seeing this, Hanyi couldn't help frowning, leaned closer to Daiyu's ear, and asked softly, "What is Yu'er thinking?" When she heard the sound suddenly, Daiyu was startled, and turned her head to look at Hanyi. With a glance, she shook her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky again, only to hear Daiyu ask quietly: "Why don't you see the meritorious family members of the ministers today, and the four palaces of different surnames?"

Han Yi sneered and said: "Today is a family banquet..." Han Yi said halfway, and stopped talking, but Dai Yu had already understood it, and couldn't help laughing at herself: "If I knew this, I shouldn't come of."

When Hanyi heard this, he was afraid that Daiyu would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "Yu'er, don't think too much, the queen mother asked you to call her aunt, how could you be an outsider?" , now you are not considered an outsider, and in a few months, I will be your eldest cousin." After speaking, Han Yi blinked.

Daiyu originally wanted to forget about this matter, but Han Yi brought it up again, couldn't help pulling the corners of her mouth reluctantly, but finally didn't say anything, just looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Seeing Daiyu like this, not to mention the Fourth Prince misunderstood, even Hanyi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.Seeing that no one noticed it, Han Yi lowered his voice and asked nervously, "Could Yu'er be dissatisfied with this marriage? Is there someone in my heart?"

Daiyu's eyes widened suddenly, she looked at Hanyi incredulously, and after a while she found her voice and said, "What did Sister Hanyi say?" He smiled and said, "It's just to see that you are in a bad mood, and I am teasing you."

Daiyu shook her head and smiled wryly for a long while before sighing faintly: "I was just too surprised, I didn't expect that..." Her expression was indescribably lonely.

Hearing what Daiyu said, Hanyi was relieved, he glanced at Daiyu and said with a smile: "What did you not expect? You are a girl of fifteen." Hanyi paused for a moment, and said very seriously: "Anyway, you guys have known each other since childhood, Brother Xuan is a nice guy..."

But Daiyu responded softly with a wry smile: "Sister Hanyi said yes, but I... I didn't expect to get married so early..." At this point, Daiyu suddenly turned her head to look at Hanyi with a burning gaze, and asked carefully: Said: "Sister Hanyi said, is there a turning point for this matter?"

Han Yi glanced at Daiyu angrily, snorted and asked, "What did you say as the father? Those are golden words, and if you say it, it is the imperial decree!" After speaking, Han Yi suddenly thought of something, a little Nervously lowered his voice and tentatively said: "Yu'er, you don't mean to resist the decree, do you?"

Daiyu was taken aback, took a deep breath, and sighed very lowly: "The Holy Majesty and the Empress are all for my own good, how can Yu'er be so ignorant? It's just now," Daiyu turned her head and looked at Han Yi , whispered: "Now, I am the only one left in the Lin family, and there is no brother or anything..."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Hanyi nodded his head and wanted to say a few words of relief, but he didn't know where to start.She had no choice but to stretch out her arms to hug Daiyu, but Daiyu obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so she couldn't help asking: "Sister Hanyi, do you know why the First Prince didn't attend the palace banquet today?"

Hearing Daiyu mention this, Hanyi's expression darkened, he glanced left and right, lowered his voice a bit, and said in frustration: "I don't know what the elder brother is doing, I haven't seen him for a long time. The queen mother didn't let me ask, I saw that the queen mother and the eldest emperor's wife didn't look very good, even the emperor father seemed very worried."

Daiyu knew that there must be a reason for the Queen's refusal to ask, so she didn't ask any more questions.Daiyu stayed in the palace that night, and the queen arranged for her to stay with Princess Hanyi in the Qionghua Palace where Princess Hanyi lived when she was not out of the cabinet.On the second day, after Daiyu bid farewell to the queen, she returned to Jia's mansion.

The news of Daiyu's marriage was sent back to Jia's mansion early in the morning, let alone Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, who were in charge of the affairs of the mansion, even Mrs. Jia also received the news.

For Daiyu to marry into Cheng'en Gong's mansion, although Mrs. Jia felt quite regretful, she was also slightly relieved, at least her own family was related to Cheng'en Gong's mansion.

But for Mrs. Wang, although Yuan Chun had already pointed out that the emperor had arranged for Daiyu's marriage when she visited Yuan Chun before, but in the end it was her own calculation that failed.When I saw Daiyu again, I couldn't help feeling emotional in my heart.Daiyu felt very sensitively that Mrs. Wang's attitude towards her had changed again, and after thinking about it, she also guessed that it was almost the same.

After returning to Nuanxiangwu to freshen up, Daiyu approached Nanny Tang to discuss about going back to Zhuangzi. Nanny Tang thought about it and smiled and said: "This old slave has two ways. Either the county lord enters the palace and asks the empress to let you go back to Zhuangzi to be married, or it is feasible to write to the palace to pick you up."

Daiyu couldn't help frowning when she heard Mother Tang say this, she didn't want either of these two ways, not to mention anything else, just entering the palace to ask for an order for such a trivial matter, it would be a bit of a fuss, besides, the empress is now I'm worried.As for the Prince Wu's Mansion...

Thinking of those side concubines and concubines, Daiyu couldn't help but had a headache, waved her hands and said, "I'm thinking about it, I'm not in a hurry right now."

As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, the outsider heard Zhixuan laughing: "Sister Yuanyang is here!" Then I heard Zhixuan ask: "Why did Sister Yuanyang come here all of a sudden?" The son came in to report, and Daiyu had heard it, and before she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Since it is Sister Yuanyang, let her come in."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhixuan said with a smile: "Why is Grandma Lian here?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Nanny Tang who was standing beside her, then stood up with a wry smile and went out to welcome her.

Wang Xifeng was wearing a red and blue blouse with a sapphire gourd-patterned tapestry, followed by Ping'er and Xiaohong, who had their heads combed, standing in the yard talking to the mandarin duck Zhixuan.

When Daiyu saw this, she hurried forward to greet her, and personally led her into the room and sat down.Yuanyang also followed in, but instead of sitting down, she stood aside and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated Miss Lin yet." As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xifeng gave her a sideways look and said, "You still call me a girl? The Holy Majesty gave me a word. Ah, I have to call Yulin County Lord." Then he laughed.

Daiyu smiled helplessly, and knew that Wang Xifeng was really happy and not joking, so it was hard to say anything.

The mandarin duck was interrupted by Wang Xifeng, paused for a while and said with a smile: "Look at this servant is stupid, what grandma said is true." Then he saluted Daiyu again: "Slave congratulates Yulin County Lord for getting a marriage from the Holy Majesty. Find a good husband."

Although Daiyu already knew that this matter could not be concealed, but at this moment when Yuanyang mentioned it, her face was also slightly hot, and she smiled helplessly in her heart.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Look, I'm still embarrassed." She said with a low voice and laughed: "Your brother knows, I don't know how happy he is, he keeps urging me to come here quickly. Say It's because the Holy One is in a hurry, and my sister was not prepared in the past, so let me help arrange the dowry."

When Yuanyang heard Wang Xifeng's words, she said with a smile: "The old lady also meant the same thing. She said she wanted to prepare a dowry for the county lord, and she moved many boxes and cages to pile up in the house. She also knew that the county lord always has ideas, so she sent I sent my servants to ask the county master to go and have a look."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled and said: "I'm delaying my sister, why don't I go with you, so I can have an explanation with my master when I turn back."

Daiyu sighed, and smiled at Yuanyang: "I just came back from my grandmother's house, and I didn't clean up. Why don't Sister Yuanyang go back to her grandmother first, and I will go there at once, so that she won't go back after seeing her sister for a long time. Thought something happened."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she knew that Daiyu was going to send Yuanyang away, so she smiled and said: "Since that's the case, Yuanyang will go back to the old lady first, and just say that I have delayed my sister here, and I will accompany her there later. Then make amends to the old lady."

The mandarin duck is also dexterous, so it naturally understood Daiyu's meaning, looked up at Wang Xifeng, saw Wang Xifeng nodded at her, and said with a smile: "In that case, the servant girl went back to the old lady first, and gave the county master and Grandma has made good tea and is waiting for you to come over."
