Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]

As Youshi approached, the Shoukang Palace gradually became lively. The nobles, courtiers, and wives of various families sat in the wide hall with seats arranged, and the palace people with downcast eyes came and went in and out of the hall in an orderly manner.

When Xie Lin brought Bai Guo into the main hall, several courtiers who were close to him came up to greet Xie Lin and chatted eagerly with Xie Lin.Xie Lin's expression was indifferent, and there was a slight smile on his handsome face. Bai Guo followed by his side, dealt with several adults shallowly, and then wandered his eyes in the hall.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Guo first saw Li Xian'er who was sitting with Concubine Li to tease the emperor's grandson, and there were many low-ranking concubines who lived in the same palace with Concubine Li around them. Smiling and talking about something, the atmosphere seemed to be very good, but in the first seat two seats away from the group of people, it seemed a bit stiff and awkward.

Although Concubine Rong is one of the four concubines, she is very invisible in the harem. It seems that she can climb to the concubine position only because of her seniority. From the time when Emperor Jin Yuan became the prince, she was often by her side, and later because of luck It is due to the meritorious service in conceiving the second son of the emperor that it is possible to have what it is today.She is a traditional woman who values ​​children, just as she looked down on the former Princess Yu, but now the little Princess Yu, who has no children and cannot spread branches and leaves for Prince Yu's mansion, can only look coldly in front of her and sit for a while. Sit on the bench, and even have to deal with difficulties from her mother-in-law.

If it was in the past, Princess Xiao Yu would find a reason to leave the palace after asking for peace, but today the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet has not yet started, and out of filial piety, she has to pretend that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in harmony in front of her mother-in-law.It's a pity that Concubine Rong has been in the harem for many years, and the empress who was on her head passed away early, and Zhang Guijun is not very in charge of things, so she has worn away most of her early cautious temper for a long time, and now she has not let the daughter-in-law in front of her go. in the eyes.

There are always many ways to make things difficult in the palace. Concubine Rong can make Princess Xiao Yu complain endlessly without thinking too much. Unfortunately, Princess Xiao Yu is not a soft persimmon. The two of you come and go, although there is no sword, light or sword, but there is smoke. , no one can please, but no one can feel comfortable.And just when the two were in this strange and delicate balance, unexpectedly, side concubine Xu also appeared in the main hall of Shoukang Palace.

After all, he gave birth to a daughter for King Yu. Although she was not a little emperor's grandson, it was enough for Concubine Rong to be gentle with him.

With Concubine Xu's joining, as if it was intentional, Concubine Rong held each other's hand and did not let go, praising and feeling distressed, as if these two were the harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but they were serious daughter-in-law. Intentionally or unintentionally ignored by the two, excluded.

Princess Xiaoyu sat on the couch with dead eyes, seeing Concubine Rong and Concubine Xu affectionately like a mother and child, she rolled her eyes secretly, and then continued to stare at the bustling hall in a daze.

I thought it was going to be like this until the birthday banquet started, but I didn't want a round-faced palace official to come running over with a small step, and said with a warm smile: "Princess Yu, my master wants to invite you to come over and talk."

Princess Xiaoyu was stunned: "...Who is your master?"

But as soon as she asked, she saw a young man in Chinese clothes repeating his mouth and whispering eagerly to her, "Little sister-in-law, come quickly."

Since someone called her, Princess Xiao Yu asked Concubine Rong superficially for instructions without hesitation.

Could it be that the important ministers in the court and nobles in the capital can come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? Although Concubine Rong doesn't like this daughter-in-law, she hopes that she can have more contacts with those wives, and it is best to give some help to King Yu , so he just waved his hand and told her to just go and leave her alone.And taking advantage of the queen mother's birthday, side concubine Xu, who had been obsessed with King Yu for a long time before being allowed to enter the palace, was filled with deep jealousy for a moment——

He didn't want to just stay by Concubine Rong's side and get entangled with this concubine who was old and frail and lost the emperor's favor. And Xungui is the main battlefield he needs to conquer!

It's just that Concubine Rong is willing to ask Concubine Xiaoyu, who is the main concubine, to go out to socialize, but she is not necessarily willing to show the side concubine a long-sleeved and good dancer in this hall. Asked the close maid to change the cup of tea again, only tied her to her side with a smile, and reminded her to give birth to more children for King Yu, so that the palace would spread more. As for other things, don't think too much about it.

The air around Concubine Rong and Concubine Xu appeared to be fresh outside. Concubine Xiaoyu exhaled, patted her sleeves, and her steps were extremely light.

There were melon seeds and nuts arranged by the palace in advance on the mat table. Ginkgo peeled a few pistachios, and the fingertips turned red. When Princess Xiaoyu approached, she snatched the pistachios he had peeled. , Eat one and said: "My darling, why is the third brother willing to let you peel nuts here alone?"

After finishing speaking, he held up Ginkgo's tender fingers, and kept tsk-tsk.

Bai Guo blushed when she turned it over and teased her, pushed the fruit plate in front of her, and muttered softly: "I'm avoiding him."

Princess Xiaoyu: "Huh???"

Bai Guo hesitated, and said embarrassedly: "The imperial doctor said that I get angry easily and should not eat too much. After hearing about it, the prince always took care of me."

"So that's how it is." Princess Xiaoyu looked down thoughtfully at the two or three scattered fruit shells scattered under the fruit plate, picked up a pistachio, peeled it, and stuffed it into the ginkgo's mouth with a smile, "Here, then Just taste it again."

Bai Guo ate a sweet pistachio nut and was just happy, but Princess Xiaoyu took the nut plate to her side and said, "Okay, the rest are mine."

ginkgo:"???"

Princess Xiao Yu clicked, knocked the pistachios into melon seeds.

Seeing that it was hard to eat, there was no way, Bai Guo was embarrassed to reach out to grab it, but he wanted to ask the palace servants to bring another plate, and the round-faced waiter who was waiting beside him said righteously: "There are melons and fruits in the palace. There are only a few plates of dim sum, and only when they are used up can they ask the palace servants to refill them. Otherwise, nobles, you will ask for one plate after another. If something goes wrong in the middle, it will be bad if you eat your stomach badly. gone."

Bai Guo thought it was the same, so he had to watch Princess Xiaoyu eat happily, so he took the next best thing and took a piece of pastry to taste slowly.

The leisurely eating and drinking of the two of them did not match the style of the people eagerly chatting in the hall, but fortunately, there were more and more people in the hall, and the location of Bai Guo's seat selection was not very conspicuous, except occasionally with a few female relatives who wanted to cling to the palace. After a few conversations, all that is left is to enjoy ourselves.

"No wonder I haven't been able to find you after searching for a long time." The clear voice came from the side, and Wei Liang, who had been exposed to the sun for a whole summer but came back white immediately after winter, walked to the bed with a smile on his face, looking for this soft Mat sat down unceremoniously.

Bai Guo's eyes lit up: "Cousin!"

Princess Xiaoyu also nodded slightly, her eyes were curious and reserved.

Wei Liangyin made half a salute to Princess Xiaoyu, and then flicked his finger on Bai Guo's forehead: "Do you still know that you are called cousin? But I see that you are eating and drinking in the palace, so I will forget about your cousin early on." In the back of your head."

Previously, Wei Liang was so obsessed with martial arts that he couldn't help himself, so he asked Wei Xizhou to take him to pretend to be a soldier and spend time in the military camp outside Beijing every day.It just so happened that Wei Xizhou received the imperial decree to go to Jingxi to suppress the bandits last month, and Wei Liangyin went with him stubbornly, and he only returned to Beijing recently.

I haven't seen him for a whole month, and Bai Guo misses him very much, so he hurriedly asked Wei Liangyin about the bandit suppression.Wei Liangyin was a sharp-tongued man, and he talked about a crushing bandit suppression incident with ups and downs, causing Bai Guo to forget to swallow the pastry, and Princess Xiaoyu to forget to eat melon seeds.

"Is uncle injured? Is the injury serious?" Bai Guo in the middle heard that Wei Xizhou was injured by the bandits, and his expression tensed.

Wei Liangyin, who exaggerated for the sake of the story, suddenly felt that he was exaggerating, and hurriedly made amends: "It's just a scratch, and the wound is not as big as the eye of a coin!"

At this moment, his mouth was already parched, Princess Xiaoyu was considerate, poured him a glass of water, and continued to look at him eagerly.

Wei Liangyin drank the water, choked in his heart, hurriedly finished the follow-up, and then had time to carefully look at Bai Guo's whole body, and sighed silently: "But I haven't seen you in a month, Guoguo, your stomach is round again."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed the back of Bai Guo's hand, a small depression went down, and it bounced back full.

"Hey, people are getting fat again." The tone was full of teasing.

Bai Guo puffed up her cheeks angrily, and repeated: "It's edema, edema! It's not fat! I'm not fat!" Obviously the imperial physician and His Highness have told him that he is neither fat nor thin, and his bulging belly is also Because the food control is in place, it is not as big as the usual twins, and it is an excellent puerpera who is very, very suitable for full-term births!

Seeing that his little cousin was more serious, Wei Liangyin hurriedly went to tease him with a smile.

After a while, Bai Guo was amused, that's all.

With the beating of drums and gongs in the palace, the birthday of Queen Mother Zhao officially began.

All the people who were talking withdrew to their respective seats, Princess Xiao Yu also called the palace servants to tidy up the table full of fruit shells, and then she flicked her sleeves and put on the airs of Princess Yu Shi Shiran walked to the banquet in Prince Yu's mansion.

"So happy to play?" After everyone was seated, Xie Lin also got out, found Bai Guo, and the two sat side by side at the table.

Bai Guo covered her chubby stomach, muttered to Xie Lin, Xie Lin sometimes smiled, and subconsciously bent her eyes, her youthful face was more innocent and immature than other people in the palace, and even the slightest It doesn't look like a baby boy who is about to give birth.

"The third brother and the concubine are very affectionate and intimate." King Yu's honest voice came from his left hand.

On his right hand was Princess Xiao Yu, and one inch behind his left and right shoulders was Side Concubine Xu who was secretly looking around at the situation in the palace.

Hearing this, Xie Lin tilted his head slightly, and raised his glass to signal: "Not as good as the emperor, there are beauties around you."

Most of the courtiers or honorable families who came to celebrate Queen Mother Zhao's birthday tonight were patriarchs and the royal family. Apart from the bottom-up in the palace, the concubines of all ranks seemed to be the only one in the palace. In addition to the concubine, he also brought an extra concubine.

The naive smile on King Yu's face seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then he raised his glass as well, and said with a casual smile: "Third brother, this is just joking, you also know that brother, I don't have many heirs in my backyard. Grandmother and the others are worried, this time concubine Xu finally gave birth to an heir for this king, how can this king resist replacing this meritorious minister into the palace so that the imperial grandmother can take a look and feel at ease?"

These words were spoken out of the mouth, but it was true that King Yu had a sincere heart, and Xie Lin's words before could not help but sound a bit disrespectful to his brother in the hearts of others.

Xie Lin didn't mind too much, he just drank the wine in his glass lightly, and chuckled lightly: "My younger brother is ignorant, so I forgot to congratulate my second elder brother for his happiness... By the way, this king still doesn't know that this side concubine gave birth yes?"

King Yu mumbled, "It's a girl."

"Oh..." Xie Lin nodded, with a sudden smile in his eyes.

King Yu caught that smile, and felt uneasy, but before he could figure out why, a courtier who had been paying attention to the two seats said doubtfully: "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yu has a son and a daughter in his residence. , but it turns out that this side concubine who gave birth to a daughter is more valued by His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"

"No, His Royal Highness Prince Yu's backyard is not rich in heirs. I have been looking forward to the birth of the eldest son of the concubine for so many years. In terms of reason and reason, the little concubine's grandson should be valued more."

"Could it be that the biological mother of the little concubine's grandson is not loved by His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"

"Hey, you don't know yet? The side concubine Xu next to His Royal Highness, isn't she the only youngest son who survived after being slaughtered and exiled by the whole family? I think His Highness Yu Wang begged His Majesty for a long time and how much grace he used. It was only this person who cleared the crime record for the side concubine, could it be that he entered the backyard of His Royal Highness Prince Yu early, and if he can no longer be promoted to the royal family, I am afraid that the current Palace of Prince Yu has already been ruled by him..."

"You mean, this side concubine is the true love of His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"

"Hey, don't say it, don't say it."

This group of people seemed to be talking in a low voice, but King Yu knew martial arts, and his hearing was much better than that of ordinary people.He listened to these words in his ears, and then looked at the smiles on the faces of those courtiers or nobles that men would understand, and felt that the way the other party looked at him became wrong.

It was as if he had become an absurd prince who doted on his concubine and killed his wife for the sake of beauty!

The smile on King Yu's face couldn't hold anymore, he lowered his head through the wine cup to cover up the darkness on his face.

However, Concubine Xu didn't feel that King Yu was in a bad mood at this time, and she still wanted to take advantage of this time to interact closely with King Yu, so that everyone could better understand her position in Prince Yu's mansion, but He can sit on an equal footing with Princess Xiaoyu.

Concubine Xiaoyu was dignified on the surface, but she only watched coldly in secret, neither obstructing nor jealous, as if she was an example of an outstanding lady in Shengjing.

Concubine Xu thought she had seized the opportunity, and pulled King Yu's sleeve in the usual way of being coquettish with King Yu, and only waited for the man to turn around, and the two had some words of affection.

But who knows that there are always unexpected deviations between imagination and reality. His hand was on King Yu's cuff, and he was swept away by King Yu before he could use any force. The center of gravity actually fell down.

"Ah!" Concubine Xu exclaimed in surprise, attracting the attention of the whole hall.

He blushed, and then turned blue and white all of a sudden, and the alternation of red and white on his face was full of excitement from being watched.

King Yu thought he was ashamed even more, and said angrily: "Get up quickly!" Seeing the dignified main rooms on the right hand side, he couldn't help saying, "You can't stand on the table!"

Concubine Xu was stunned when she heard the words, King Yu, who was always soft-spoken to her, had never said such harsh words to herself, and she was stimulated for a while under the eyes of the ministers and nobles. The concubine couldn't react, so it was Princess Xiaoyu who called the frightened palace maid and said, "Hurry up and help your side concubine get up."

Those who can come to the birthday banquet are all good people. It seems that King Yu and his side concubine had a quarrel, after a few more glances, they pretended not to know and chatted about other things.

At the first concubine's place, Rong Concubine learned about this and scolded Concubine Xu severely, saying bluntly that this little hoof has no ability at all except to give birth to children, and she didn't like him for a while, and told someone to say, After entering the palace to say hello, side concubine Xu doesn't have to come.

After all, doing trivial things is just an episode of the queen mother's birthday. Bai Guo watched with admiration that his highness solved the provocation from the king of Yu without bloodshed, and made the palace of the king of Yu lose a big person. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the little princess Yu , while silently saying "I'm sorry, I've offended you", I feel so refreshed.

"So excited?" Xie Lin looked at him with a smile.

Ginkgo nodded like a rattle, and the delicate little jade crown on top of her head was shaken out of a double image.

It's so cute.
