The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 38 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet

"That's good." Xiao Junxi has never been a eloquent person. In front of a woman, people who didn't know it was embarrassed. "Speaking of which, I also want to thank you for risking death and saving. ."

Xie Ruzhuo saw that he was uncomfortable and couldn't help but smile, "Third Prince, I saved you, but you saved me with Snow Lotus in the Western Regions. We are even tied, aren't we?"

Seeing the cunning on Xie Ruzhuo's face, Xiao Junxi suddenly became relieved and laughed.

Xiao Junxi grew up in the royal family since childhood, and the charming ladies and ladies around him are almost the same. They spend a lot of time on their mouths on weekdays, and they can coax men around. Even the younger sisters he loves are just a bit more outspoken than them, but they are still very neat to coax the concubines to come. Therefore, when Xie Ruzhuo calmly said such things, Xiao Junxi who was standing next to her suddenly felt more at ease.

A woman like her seems to be born with a kind of magic power that can make people's hearts calm down in an instant.

Yue'er has been suspended high in the air, as bright as a silver plate, and the moon's shadow and brilliance are scattered all over the world. Xiao Junxi and Xie Ruzhuo were leaning on the railing from left to right, but their shadows were strangely intertwined, like lovers.

It seems that some things are destined in the future.

The night seemed to pass extremely quickly. When I returned to Xie's Mansion, it was already midnight. Saying well with Xie Ruyue, Xie Ruzhuo went back to the yard and cleaned up briefly, then fell asleep.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, but there is still a tough battle to be fought.

On the second day, all the female relatives who had been ordered to live in the capital of the imperial court were ordered to enter the palace.

Before dawn, Xie Ruzhuo was dragged from the bed by the girls collectively. After some dressing up, Xie Ruzhuo, who was still a little sleepy, brought out the door.

Xie Ruzhuo's father, Xie Shenyan, is the second-rank Zhongli of Juzheng, a decent Beijing official. Although the Qiao family was a successor, he was also sealed off from the third-class imperial wife. Although her second uncle Xie Shenxing had a lower official position, he was only a fourth-rank inspector, but he was an expatriate official. When it comes to the power in his hands, he is even bigger than Xie Shenyan. Coupled with the fact that the foundation of the Xie family is here, her second aunt, Li's family, has also been banned.

Speaking of the three sons of the Xie family, only her third uncle is a businessman, and there is no official or part-time office. This royal Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, there is nothing to do.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw that the person in the third room of the Xie family was not in the hall.

Erfang Li has always been enthusiastic. Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, he immediately greeted him with a heart-hearted smile and said, "Look at the four girls, these days have not been seen, and they have become more and more beautiful. Only pitiful to suffer a few days ago, Good boy, let auntie see, does it still hurt?"

Xie Rufei saw her coming in, flying over like a butterfly, holding one of her arms, and smiled, "Sister Si, I can also go to the palace today. I heard that there are many delicious foods there. not real?"

On the contrary, Xie Ruyun, Li's concubine, stood there, nodded slightly, and said, "Four sisters." It was regarded as a courtesy. Her mother-in-law was originally Li's maid. She was married and gave birth to Xie Ruyun and died within a few years. Although Xie Ruyun was raised under the name of Li since childhood, she was always timid.

Xie Ruzhuo once saw the ceremony, and then returned Li's words. Then he smiled and asked Qiao, "Mother, hasn't my sister come yet?" No one was watching last night. Xie Ruyue and Xiao Xinning both secretly drank a few glasses of wine. When they came back, she sent it. I'm drunk and yelling that I haven't had enough fun, I'm afraid I'm lazy again.

Seeing that her hair accessories were a little crooked, Qiao came over to tidy it up for her, and said, "Bizhi has been asked to remind her, it is probably coming soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard her hurried steps outside and said, "I'm late, mother forgive me."

Today, Xie Ruyue is wearing a pink jacket and a skirt of the same color, with a halibut jade pendant around her waist, and a small concentric ruyi lock between her neck. Her face is lightly creamy, and she takes advantage of people. Than Huajiao.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Xie Ruyue put out her tongue in embarrassment, and said, "I slept a little deeper last night, please forgive me."

Xie Ruzhuo sneered, "If you are asleep, it is difficult for Lei Gong to wake up, so what can be done if you don't forgive me?"

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.

Xie Ruyue stared, and said, "Okay, thank you, you dare to taunt me." After saying that, he wanted to come up and beat her. After the two had a fuss for a while, they heard the little servant outside the door saying that it was a chariot.

Qiao stopped their sisters and helped them tidy their clothes and hair, and smiled helplessly at Li, "The two girls are used to playing around, don't mind the second sibling."

Li echoed, "It's all sisters, it's always good to get close."

The crowd went out of the second door lively and got into the carriage.

But they didn't want to. As soon as they left, two restless little heads hurriedly returned to the master's yard.

After a bit of muttering, Lu immediately threw his chopsticks, "Master, tell me, what's this? It's also the son of the Xie family, so why did both the big room and the second room go to the Mian Sheng in the palace? , Only our three rooms are at home who want to be aggrieved! If you are a concubine, we will recognize that your status is low and unworthy! But you are also the meat of the old lady, why the Xie family is so partial! "

As soon as she said this, Liu immediately became unhappy, "Sister, what you know is that you feel that your master has been wronged; but if you don't know, you think you are belittling the old lady secretly, saying that she is abusive. Children and grandchildren!" Her child was born too, but what happened to her, Ruyin in her family is not as good as Xie Rulan!

Lu clan sneered when he heard the words, "Liu clan, you don’t get eye drops here. Do you think I am holding myself down? If our master has an official and a half official position, there will be more than one who enters the palace today. It's my daughter! Look at Li, she enters the palace, doesn't she also bring her concubine with her?"

"Are you cursing me to die?" Liu clan heard the words, with a pair of willow eyebrows erected, and snorted, "Don't think that I don't know the little Jiujiu in your heart, because you have bad intentions, so I want to put a high hat on the master. Let me say, the master only needs peace and joy. What's the big deal if you go to the palace or not? It's always the girl from the Xie family. As long as she stays safe and keeps herself, she won't be worried about getting married? This guy, I'm not afraid of being high-spirited, but afraid wishful thinking!"

"you!"

When Lu heard her accusing Sang and cursing Huai like this, he just wanted to talk, when he saw the third master Xie Shensi directly slapped his bowl, "Okay, have you all been noisy enough?!"

As soon as he exited, the two of them fell silent for a moment, and the Liu family made a look of pity that I saw, and said softly, "Master."

Xie Shensi glared at the two of them and said, "It's not over for the festive season! You can eat, I'll go to the shop to see the business." The two women in his house, although they have one main room and one side room, which one is it? The background is not simple. Xie Shensi couldn't figure out the accounts of these women, and he didn't want to admit his counsel, so only one of them made the best plan.

As soon as Xie Shensi left, the two of them lost their appetite for food. Originally, if it wasn't for men, who would sit at the same table with each other?

Lu clan glanced at Liu clan, and said slowly, "Liu clan, I advise you to behave better, otherwise, there will always be fruits you can't eat!"

Liu clan has been fighting with her for so many years, how weak he is, and he immediately retorted, "I will give you this to my sister intact. After all, the confidant is not the old one, so you can’t be more suitable for you. Got it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the maid outside quietly telling Lu, "The master has just gone out with Madam Liuyun."

Hearing this, Lu immediately said bitterly, "Yah, what kind of wife is she! A common room brought up by a maid, not even a concubine!"

Liu felt a pain in his heart, but a triumphant smile evoked on his face, "Is it a madam? It will take a long time to find out, maybe someone has the ability to give birth to a young master. At that time, hehe."

Before Liu's words were finished, he only smiled meaningfully, turned around and left the door. She has no chance to have children, but that doesn't mean that others don't! Lu, do you think that if you stop my path, no one will block you? It will last forever, wait and see!

When the daughter of the Xie family followed the principal's father-in-law all the way into the palace gate, it was almost noon. Although it was autumn, it was a bit hot.

When passing by Chongwumen, Xie Ruzhuo's heart trembled fiercely. All the past lives are vividly vivid, like an arrow, deeply pierced into her heart, causing pain in her heart.

She clasped her hands tightly, trying to control her emotions, but she couldn't prevent her face from turning pale.

Or Xie Rufei first discovered her abnormality, and asked with a little worry, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you? Are you as nervous as me?" Xie Rufei is one year younger than her, and this is the first time that she has accompanied her mother to enter. Palace, fear is inevitable.

When Xie Ruzhuo heard this, she came back to her senses. She reluctantly gave up a relieved smile and said, "It's okay." After resurrecting these days, she thought that she could face the people and things in the previous life well. She only understands now, that there was no real heart-dealing incident!

Those things that make her hate to wake up in her dreams, Xie Ruzhuo will not be relieved throughout her life!

Suddenly I heard the shrill voice of my father-in-law, and Xie Ruzhuo realized that the imperial garden had arrived.

The father-in-law smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Xie, you bring a few daughters here to enjoy the flowers and eat snacks. A few empresses will be here in a while."

Qiao responded and ordered Bi Zhi to send Hong Fengzi, and then he took Xie Ruzhuo and others into the gate of the Royal Garden.

The banquet on August 15 should have been held by the Queen. But when the queen died early, the emperor was deeply affectionate, saying that there was only one queen in this life. Therefore, this harem has formed a situation where Concubine Xian and Concubine Ye will check and balance each other.

For today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, concubine Ye Gui is responsible for major matters. And this matter of entertaining the servants and wives during the day was done by a few concubines in power.

After all, it is the autumn sky, the autumn is high and fresh, and the various flowers in the imperial garden are full of autumn.

The female family members of each family have reached seven or eighty-eight. After all, the capital is an imperial city, and there are no fewer than dozens of wives with enlightenment. At this time, they were all standing in the imperial garden, quite lively.

It is said that for this banquet, the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were jointly organized as early as three months ago. The battle was almost to collect all the rare flowers from all over the country.

It can be seen that the imperial concubines in the harem of the palace banquet have indeed worked hard. Walking along the way, Xie Ru thinks that in addition to the all-colored costumes, there is a busy and undisrupted order, and he heard that in the nose. They are all faint floral fragrance, this fragrance seems to cover the entire palace lantern.
