Chapter 4

East Palace, the hundred-day banquet for the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Before noon, the congratulatory crowd had already surrounded the Eastern Palace. His Majesty attached great importance to this banquet, and there were quite a few granddaughters under his knees, but this grandson was the first one, and it was the son of the crown prince and the crown princess. Naturally, he was very happy .

Today, the East Palace is very festively decorated, with red silk and satin hanging everywhere, and even the flowers in the yard are blooming very well, as if to add some color to this grand event, and the fish in the landscape pool are also excitedly jumping out of the water , this grand occasion is very comfortable to watch.

The Xu family also entered the palace early today. This is not only the eldest grandson of His Majesty, but also the first grandson of our Xu family. Naturally, he is extremely happy. Besides, the natal family of the Crown Princess naturally has to enter the palace early.

Yunyao had just entered the inner hall with her wife and kissed her, when she saw the empress sitting on the throne, holding a small bright yellow doll in her arms, the crown prince was standing beside her, and the imperial concubine Shu and several other empresses were sitting on the bottom , Everyone had smiles on their faces, chatting and laughing so lively.

"My wife, Mrs. Xu Wei, brought her daughter Yunyao to see the empress." Mrs. Xu walked to the courtyard and knelt down to salute with Yunyao. The etiquette seemed very considerate.

The queen changed the direction of her grandson and made him half-lying, looked at the kneeling people and responded with great joy: "Mrs. Xu is here, please hurry up."

"Thank you, empress." Mrs. Xu knelt down even more, thanked her and was about to get up, Xu Yunyao quickly put her hands on her hands to help her mother up together.

"This is Yunyao! She hasn't seen her for a few months, and she's getting better."

The queen glanced at it, and Xu Yunyao, who was on the side, said with satisfaction that this was originally the person whom her youngest son was looking for, and it really became more and more pleasing to the eye, but it's a pity that His Majesty was persuaded by the concubine Shu, and insisted on betrotting him to the Zhennan Palace.

"Thank you for your compliment." Xu Yunyao also respects the queen very much. This queen is very good at managing the harem, she is humble and polite, and treats people very kindly. The most important thing is that she has been favored for so many years.

"This second lady, we all know that if I have a son in this palace, I will definitely ask the emperor for grace." The noble concubine in this book knew what the queen meant, so she made a statement and asked the emperor to bestow it on the Zhennan Palace. Saying this now, isn't it just to embarrass the queen on purpose.

"Sister, I'm just joking. My sister has no children, so naturally she can't enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law here." With a charming smile on her face, Concubine Li looked at Concubine Shu sarcastically, shook the fan in her hand, and then looked at the Queen.

These two people are usually sneering and sneering, and they don't even look at what day it is, but they dare to do this. Isn't this a bad luck for the queen? The queen's face darkened, and she said coldly: "Is that enough?"

As soon as the queen said these words, the atmosphere in the whole hall became a little bit colder, no one dared to speak easily, and even dared not speak out, the original laughter disappeared.

"Mother, the flowers in this garden are blooming very well. Why don't you let the younger sisters go out to enjoy the flowers and chat with each other, and let the wives stay here to talk with the queen." Xu Yunzhi, the crown princess, saw that the atmosphere had cooled down, and hurriedly Lively the atmosphere, comforting the queen.

The queen looked at the young ladies standing behind the wives of various mansions, and then held the concubine's hand with a smile on her face, "It's still Yunzhi who is thoughtful, so you children go and play quickly, you don't need to stay here with me."

"Thank you, Empress, for your compassion." All the noble ladies stepped forward after hearing this, and they saluted together, and then slowly retreated.

After finally coming out to take a breath, Xu Yunyao felt a lot better. The other ladies went to admire the flowers. In order to hide herself, she took Ying'er and hid in a pavilion to watch the fish.

"This older sister is really pretty, but unfortunately Ling'er has never seen her before. I wonder which family's lady she is from?"

Xu Yunyao looked at this charming, playful and cute girl in a white and green floral dress, she had never seen her before, so she saluted, "I am the second young lady of the Xu family, who is my younger sister?"

"Oh? So my sister is my brother's wife who is about to marry!" Qin Ling'er said happily and returned the gift, "Ling'er has met the future sister-in-law."

Now Yunyao understands why she has never seen this little girl before, she turned out to be the little princess of Zhennan Palace, in the past, no one would entertain both of them at the same time, so it is normal that the two have never met.

"Princess, don't talk nonsense, if people listen to it, how can Yunyao behave?"

Fortunately, there was no one else here except them and the accompanying maid. If someone listened to it, I'm afraid trouble would be inevitable.

"Sister, don't blame me, it's Ling'er who said the wrong thing." Qin Ling'er enthusiastically took Xu Yunyao's hand and shook it, then gently leaned her head against her.

Yun Yao didn't expect Qin Ling'er to treat her so warmly, she didn't realize it, and didn't reply for a while.

Seeing that she was not moving, Ling'er led her towards the pavilion, and whispered: "Sister, don't worry, although my father and your father are not on good terms, but mother and concubine are very happy, and they keep praising you to your father." , Said that you are much better than those Wu family girls whom the king likes."

"It's my younger sister who thinks too much. I've never worried about this." Xu Yunyao didn't expect Linger to say these things to her when they met for the first time. This girl was so straightforward.

"Ah? There is no daughter who is about to get married and doesn't worry about her mother-in-law." Ling'er looked at Yunyao in surprise, then thought of something else, so she said again: "My brother is also very good-tempered, although he can't say sweet words, But the princess can assure you that he will treat Madam very well."

When she said this, Xu Yunyao immediately blushed. She had never thought about how the eldest princess treated her, which was true, but she was really worried about Qin Zhan's behavior.

"What are you two sisters talking about?"

Princess Ziluo saw Qin Ling'er being intimate with the second young lady of the Xu family from a long distance away, and she felt extremely unhappy. She had treated Ling'er very well before, but she never expected that she would go to find Xu Yunyao as soon as she came.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness."

Seeing the princess coming, the two met immediately. Xu Yunyao knew that the princess was not a good person. Although she was not familiar with her, she had heard about the fact that Princess Ziluo fell in love with Prince Zhennan's son. If it wasn't for Princess Shengyang If you don't agree, I'm afraid that because of His Majesty's love for her, they have already settled on their marriage, and now they will definitely come to trouble her.

"Miss Xu is really a smart woman today. If you don't know, you might think what you are here for?"

Xu Yunyao's attire today is not ostentatious, it's just a pink and white skirt. Princess Zi Luo's words made it clear that she was deliberately mocking her and trying to make things difficult for her.

"Thank you, Princess, for your praise. Everyone came here for the same thing today. Could it be that Her Highness the Princess forgot, that is not acceptable. If His Majesty finds out, he will be blamed. Would you like Yunyao to remind the Princess?"

Although Xu Yunyao didn't like to show off, she wasn't someone who could be manipulated by others, not to mention that this person came after her future husband.

"You..." The princess knew she was wrong, and she didn't dare to argue with her on this topic, so she turned around and passed between the two of them, "Cousin doesn't like to be so sharp-toothed like you." A sharp-mouthed, scheming person."

When Ling'er heard her brother was mentioned, she was about to step forward to argue, but Xu Yunyao grabbed her arm, and Xu Yunyao looked at her squarely, without giving in.

"It doesn't matter if you like it or not, His Majesty the Princess. After all, this is a matter between me and Shizi Qin, not to mention that this is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty. No matter what, Shizi Qin and I are destined to be married."

"It's really shameless. You say such things before you get through the door. I really don't know how Xu Xiangye taught his daughter." Hearing her mention the word "husband and wife", Princess Ziluo was extremely angry.

"Sister Xu's words, Ling'er doesn't think there is anything wrong." Qin Ling'er originally thought that Xu Yunyao would swallow her anger, but she didn't expect that she would refute with a gun and a stick, which surprised her.

Miss Xu Er is famous for her good temper. Of course, when no one provokes her, she will never be bullied by others.

"Qin Ling'er, what do you mean by helping an outsider?" Seeing Qin Ling'er helping Xu Yunyao speak, Zi Luo made her red-eyed even more.

"What my cousin said is wrong. I have always been a helper and not a relative, not to mention that sister Xu is not an outsider now." Although Ling'er is young, she has never succumbed to a little coercion from the princess.

"Hmph, the second miss of the Xu family is really good." Zi Luo deliberately took a step forward as she spoke, and seeing Xu Yunyao standing by the railing, deliberately bumped into her with her body.

Xu Yunyao couldn't stand firmly, her calf hit the stone pier, she lost her strength and almost fell into the lake.

At this moment, one hand wrapped around her waist, pulled her into his arms, and left that position. If it wasn't for this embrace, the Xu family might have made a big joke today.

"Cousin Zi Luo, be careful when walking." Qin Ling'er held Xu Yunyao in her arms, and looked at Princess Zi Luo with disdain. Originally, she had a good image of Zi Luo, although she knew that she approached him because of her elder brother, but she never expected It's really shameful to use such indecent methods.

"Hey! Second Miss Xu is all right, this princess really didn't mean it, do you want to invite an imperial doctor to take a look?" Zi Luo covered her face with a fan to hide her smile, making it look like she was very guilty and embarrassed of.

"Don't bother the princess." Xu Yunyao frowned in pain, and looked at her impatiently.

"In this case, then the princess will leave. There are many beautiful scenery in the garden, which makes people feel good." Seeing her in such a good mood, Zi Luo hurried away, thinking of treating her well at night.

"You are not allowed..." Seeing that she was about to leave, Qin Ling'er wanted to step forward to stop her, not wanting to be caught by Xu Yunyao.

"If you don't let her go, it's hard to keep her here!" Xu Yunyao forced a smile and said jokingly while looking at Ling'er.

Linger thinks about it too, who knows what she will do if she stays here, Qin Linger squats down, puts one hand on Xu Yunyao's leg and looks at her with concern, "Sister is not hurt, do you want to please?" A doctor come over to see?"

"It's okay, don't worry!"

Xu Yunyao knows very well that if an imperial physician is invited on such an occasion today, she doesn't know what big troubles will happen, let alone such a bump, it's not a big deal, just rest and rest, otherwise it will spread, according to Zi Luo's temperament I still don't know how big things are going to happen.

Although she was a little unwilling, today was not the time to pick things up, and she would have time to deal with her in the future, so she couldn't spoil the emperor's eldest grandson's hundred-day banquet, or her eldest sister would be scolded by those side concubines again.
