Chapter 1641 Storm 31
The eyes of the little princess turned red, she bit her lip, she didn't cry in front of Lian Fangzhou and Li Fu, she nodded her head, "Yeah", but said in a low voice with a strong nasal tone: "It's all my fault, Sleeping so deeply, brother Xu didn't even call me!"
Lian Fangzhou was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the little princess, then fell on the red and swollen lips and did not move.
As someone who has experienced it, what doesn't she understand?
It was funny and dumbfounding for a while, and looked at Li Fu.
Li Fu also noticed it, and looked at her, with a smile flashing in his eyes: this kid, you are quick to strike!
Flowers are everywhere in the imperial garden, and they are in full bloom, especially the precious peonies of various colors cultivated by the royal gardeners, which are in full flowering season, and the colorful and colorful peonies linger in it, which is breathtaking.
It's that time of year again for the annual flower feast.
Every year, the queen hosts a banquet to appreciate flowers, and invites the noble ladies and ladies in the capital to participate.
At every banquet, the guests and the host enjoy themselves, and the queen will reward them heavily. Every lady who is eligible to participate is proud of it.
I heard that this year's flower viewing banquet will be extraordinarily grand and grand. Every invited lady and lady will be able to pick a pot of top-quality peonies to take home, and there will also be a poetry meeting. The empress and concubine Shu will choose The twelve best poems were ordered by the Royal Bookstore to be compiled into a volume, and the authors of all the poems included in it will have a volume.
This book of poetry will be made very beautifully. The paper is made of Song Dynasty paper used by the royal family. The cover is carved with gold leaf. On the title page are the inscriptions and private seals of the queen and concubine Shu. It is elegant and precious that money cannot buy affairs.
When the news came, the boudoir was boiling, and everyone was racing against time to make preparations nervously in order to be selected.
And such elegant things are also talked about by the scholars, and everyone is looking forward to seeing the first talented woman in the capital newly released.
Three days before the banquet, the queen's invitations were sent to every household that was eligible to attend the banquet.
The Yang family did not receive it.
The day before the banquet, there was still no movement in the palace. Mrs. Yang couldn't stand being pestered by her sister-in-law, daughter and niece, so she told Mrs. Yang about it.
Mrs. Yang sneered and said disdainfully: "The empress is deliberately embarrassing our Yang family! Hmph, those ignorant people are vying to curry favor with her. Our Yang family is the emperor's ancestral family, so we don't want to do anything to her." Bow your head! Isn’t it just to enjoy the flowers? If you don’t go, don’t go, what’s the matter! If we want to enjoy the flowers, we can go to the palace to enjoy them at any time, and the emperor is not even allowed to ask for this idea!”
Mrs. Yang responded with a smile, and said: "Mother, the Queen's flower viewing banquet this year is extraordinarily grand, and she deliberately didn't invite people from our family. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's embarrassing our family. Although we don't care, But if it falls into the eyes of others, doesn't it mean that our Yang family is afraid of her..."
Mrs. Yang's eyes froze, Lingling took a look at Mrs. Yang, nodded her head slowly, a look of anger flashed across her wrinkled and thin face, and said coldly: "You are right! The old man almost died again. I’m so confused! Hmph, this post must be sent to our Yang family by her! In the book of poems, there must be poems written by our girl from the Yang family! Prepare the car, I want to go to the palace to see the emperor! "
Mrs. Yang smiled reassuringly, and quickly agreed.
She had already ordered someone to prepare the carriage in advance, and helped the well-dressed Mrs. Yang to go out.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law beg to see each other with their maids.
Emperor Guangyuan was accompanying his wife and children in the Kunning Palace. The family of four were chatting and laughing happily, when they heard the little eunuch Dongshan bowing and reporting in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, Empress, the old lady of the Yang family, the eldest lady, ask to see."
Emperor Guangyuan subconsciously turned to look at Lian Fangqing.
Because Li Yunyue was kicked by his parents to the northwest military camp to practice, the queen had an awkward fight with him, and now she can't help but get a headache when she hears that the Yang family is coming to Emperor Guangyuan.
Lian Fangqing also looked at him, with a half-smile on his face.
"He is an elder. Although the emperor is the king of a country, it is not easy to put on airs! The emperor should go back to Qianqing Palace to summon them! They may not be willing to enter my Kunning Palace!"
Emperor Guangyuan hugged her with a smile and said: "Qing'er is talking nonsense again, you are my wife, it is a great blessing for others if you don't dislike others, who dares to dislike you? I will not obey! I will see them here !"
Then he ordered Dongshan to go out to preach the decree.
Lian Fangqing glanced at him without saying a word, but ordered someone to take the two sons down, and said: "If it's something else, I don't care, if it's for tomorrow's flower feast, I don't want members of their Yang family to attend." If you dare to let people in, I will blast them out!"
Emperor Guangyuan: "..."
He rubbed his nose and smiled wryly.
Originally, he wanted to ask her why the Yang family was not allowed to participate, but after hearing this, there is no need to ask her!
I hope my grandmother and my aunt are not talking about this matter!
The sky does not obey people's wishes, so what to be afraid of will come!
Even if you are the son of heaven, God may not treat you differently!
After seeing Emperor Guangyuan, Mrs. Yang reluctantly greeted Lian Fangqing, and then she put on a look of a kind grandmother to Emperor Guangyuan, and expressed all kinds of concern and condolences to Emperor Guangyuan with a smile, without looking at Lian Fangqing directly.
Lian Fangqing did not sit beside Emperor Guangyuan silently as before, but leaned against the back of the long couch, sipping the tea lightly in his hand, put down the teacup, and ate with relish the tea in front of him. There were about a dozen plates of candied fruit and dried fruit snacks, with a smile on his face, and occasionally glanced at him mockingly, feeling uneasy and leisurely.
Mrs. Yang stood by Mrs. Yang's side, she was a little bit troubled when she saw this, and felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
Not long after, Mrs. Yang also noticed, her kind smile froze slightly, a strong feeling of being humiliated suddenly came to her heart, and she felt lost for no reason.
Like, one punch!
Mrs. Yang suddenly felt very suffocated. She could ignore Lian Fangqing, but why did Lian Fangqing ignore her? She is the emperor's grandmother! Also her grandmother!
With a surge of energy and blood, Mrs. Yang opened her mouth to say a few words, but she finally remembered that the two parties not only had the identities of elders and juniors, but also had a relationship of monarch and minister, so she stopped.
The words that were close to exaggerating family affection could not be continued, so Mrs. Yang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the empress will hold a flower viewing feast tomorrow?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Lian Fangqing secretly rolled his eyes, Emperor Guangyuan also felt unable to speak or laugh.
The empress is sitting right in front of your old man, if you ask her, it will be over? Do you still need to "hear"!
Emperor Guangyuan sighed inwardly: I can't blame Qing'er for not liking the Yang family!
He tilted his head and glanced at Lian Fangqing. Lian Fangqing looked like he had nothing to do with himself, smiled lightly, and put the preserved apricots in his mouth unhurriedly, as if he didn't hear what Mrs. Yang just said. if.
