The Favoured Medical Princess
Chapter 258-Dou Ju
In the blink of an eye, it was November 28, the day of the Jugong Palace to enjoy the chrysanthemum feast. On this day, the heavenly father made beauty, the clear sky and the warm sunshine were just right.
As soon as Nangong Yue had finished her morning meal, Queer asked the little maid to hold two pots of chrysanthemums and said happily, "Sister Fei, look at it. The slave-servant chose one of the three pots "Golden Back Red". Although this'Golden Back Red' is indeed rich and expensive, but the slave-servant feels that this pot of'Zuofei Fairy' is also somewhat refined, and also a bit like the king of the chrysanthemum, which one do you say we bring?"
The two pots of chrysanthemums selected by Queer are really good. The pot on the left has a golden bloom. The six flowers on the plant are in full bloom. The petals of the red form a strong contrast with the golden back, which looks very attractive. The eyeballs are dominated by the uppermost one, and the remaining five are like the stars arching the moon, which can be said to be distinct from the main and the secondary; while the pot on the right, "Zuofei Fairy" is green in white and white as white jade, The green is as green as the jade, and the dense petals cling upward and clump together, showing the elegant atmosphere.
Nangong Yue did not plan to win any king of chrysanthemums, just went to join in the excitement and said casually: "Bring'Golden Back Red'."
Queer said with a smile: "Shi Zifei said yes, or'Golden Back Red' happy."
At this time, Bai Hui also came in, and he told him: "Princess Shizu, Zhu Wheeler is ready, do you want to start now?"
Nangong Yue looked almost at the hour, so she dressed up and went to the second gate with a few maidservants. Within a quarter of an hour, the Zhu wheeler set off from the palace.
It was only the time when she set off, but when her Zhu wheeler arrived at Kangping Street where the Enguo Mansion was located, the entrance of the Enguo Mansion was already overcrowded, and from afar it was seen that the carriages of the various mansions on the street had been lined up A long dragon started.
Today, the banquets of the Eunuchong government are all invited by Wangfu Xungui, the ministers of the DPRK and China, and their families, so from this perspective, this carriage is noble and extraordinary.
Because the emperor seemed to intend to establish the five princes as princes, the government of Eun Guk, the mother of the five princes, naturally rose in height, and no one who received the chrysanthemums did not give face.
After looking at the curtain, Lily talked about the lively situation outside. Her playful words made the atmosphere in the carriage very relaxed and happy.
However, they didn't wait too long. A steward who greeted the guests outside the palace recognized Nangong Yue's Zhu wheel car with her eyes, and quickly greeted him, facing the coachman: "This little brother, this is the world. Concubine's car, right? Please follow slavery here."
Lily picked up the curtain and secretly stuffed a purse to the stewardess, and said with a smile: "It's really awkward, Ma'am."
The grandmother took over quietly and smiled, "No trouble, no trouble, it is an honor for slaves to serve the concubine." As she said, she led Nangong Yue's Zhu wheel car from Jiaomen to the advanced government.
These other carriages waiting for entry naturally also noticed this, but they did not dare to say anything.After all, Nangong Yue is a princess concubine, who is deeply loved by the empress queen, and has a very close relationship with the government of Eun Guo. Thick, it is understandable that she was first introduced into the house.
Even if there are opinions, they can only complain a few words in private, such as this girl Zhang.Seeing Nangong Yue's Zhu wheel car disappearing at the corner door, Zhang Yizhe lowered the curtain by the window angrily and said angrily: "Grandma, this Ngong Mansion is also too despised, you come to this chrysanthemum feast in person They have given them enough face, and instead of welcoming you into the house in person, it is really too much to let the late concubines of the South King of that town come up!"
"Sister Li, don't be angry for such a small thing, you are really too calm, you are really mad about Zhang's daughter." Mrs. Zhang in the same carriage said sternly, face Shang was looking at Zhang Yizhang lovingly.
The most proud of Mrs. Zhang’s life was the birth of two good daughters. Although the eldest daughter could only be a concubine at the beginning, she was a great man. Today, she was enthroned. The eldest daughter followed one of the roads, Ronghua, and gave birth to three princes. The position of concubine......Although it is now reduced to Zhang, Mrs. Zhang believes that it will be a matter of time before she is promoted to concubine with the eldest daughter's ability!
As for the second daughter, it was also a man of skill. The first son of Qu, who was now Pingyang Hou, saw it at first glance. He was married and filled the house. Later, his wife, his wife, Rong, became his wife.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel proud. The girls of the Zhang family were all Wang Fu's. A son-in-law became the emperor, and a son-in-law became the grandfather, but...
Mrs. Zhang sighed in her heart. In contrast, the granddaughter of the Zhang family was very miserable. A distant marriage and relatives, a Fang Ling died early...
Thinking of the second princess who passed away early, Mrs. Zhang's eyes fell on the Zhu wheel wagon far away from Nangong Yue, with a glimmer of glare in his eyes.
Zhang Yijian looked at the pot of "gold backed red" placed beside him, and calmed down.Even if Nangong Yue advanced to the Eunuch Mansion, it wouldn't be scenery, it still grows today!
She reached out and caressed the petals of "golden back red" with a hook in the corner of her mouth, her eyes gleaming in anticipation.
On the other side, Nangong Yue, who had entered the government of Eun Guk, had already got off the carriage at the second gate.
Today, there are many guests in the government of Eun Guk, but not everyone's carriage is qualified to enter the second gate.Most of the female families who can enter the second door are the female families of the royal palace, and the patriarchal maidens with the title. As for the female families of their honorable ministers, they are arranged for a rest in a box in the front yard before the wife in the palace They carried the soft car to the second door to get off the car.
Nangong Yue looked at the carriage and saw that Mrs. Eun Guo's wife and Jiang Yixi were welcoming guests at the Yingbin Hall near the second gate.
Seeing Nangong Yue, Jiang Yixi hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Sister Yue, you can come!" Following her eyes, she fell on the pot of "gold backed red" held in the hands of Queer, praised, "Yue Sister, you are really beautiful in this pot of'Golden Back Red'."
"Thank you Sister Xi for your kind words." Nangong Yue held Jiang Yixi's hand affectionately.
Today, the banquet of the Emperor of the Kingdom of China, as the host, Jiang Yixi was naturally well-dressed. She combed a hundred-flowered bun, inserted a gold butterfly hairpin with purple gems, and burnt bright purple flowers through the caskets. The horse face skirt embroidered with a rose-red lotus pattern on the lilac pigment face reveals a bright dignity.
Nangong Yue was trying to praise Jiang Yixi aloud, but heard a sharp voice suddenly passed from behind: "The eyes of Madam Jiang have grown to the top of the head, and even the princess is here, I have not seen it. A glance, a welcome."
This female voice is really familiar, as if -
Princess Qi!
Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi looked at it together, and they saw Princess Qi was walking slowly towards this side, her face seemed to be smiling, not casual, but looking at them, there was a trace of maliciousness, as if there was something Not a total hatred.
Han Qixia walked embarrassedly next to Princess Qi, straightened her sleeves, and pleaded in a low voice: "Mother Princess, you should say a few words." Han Qixia looked at Jiang Yixi apologetically and made a pleading for Princess Qi.
Princess Qi kicked away Han Qixia without thinking, and said, "Miss Jiang..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Anguo's wife, angrily endured her anger, took the words and said: "Sister Xi, you have always played well with girl Han, and you haven't come over to talk to girl Han and talk about old... …” She said that she had deliberately blocked the path of Princess Qi, and said intimately, “Princess, let their girl’s family speak for themselves. If the Princess feels too busy, why not let me accompany you to speak in the Yingbin Hall first "Mrs. Shizi reached out and asked for a petition."
If it were not for a banquet in Fuzhong today, it must not make people look lively, and Mrs. Shizi almost wanted to make a guest order.But thinking of the situation in the Chaotang hall today, thinking of today's chrysanthemum banquet, there are noble people coming...Mrs. Shizi could only hold it with a sigh of relief.
But Princess Qi was not interested, and deliberately found out: "What about Mrs. En Guogong? When Princess Ben is here, she won't meet me?"
Princess Qi is the prince of the prince, the prince is the first class among the princes, and the Duchy is the third prince of the prince. No way.But what Mrs. En Guogong said is also the queen's biological mother.Normally, who would be so stupid as to face the queen!
Mrs. Shizi took a deep breath, but said politely: "Hey, there is no one in the house who is equivalent to the princess. It is indeed neglected. Be sure to pay attention in the future. Since you can't afford the princess, don't fight With a swollen face, he invited the princess to be a guest."
Princess Qi's entire face was black, and she said coldly: "Mrs. Shizi, what a coincidence. Why didn't she help Ms. Jiang to talk about the next family matter quickly, Ms. Jiang's age is not small!"
Princess Qi had no guilt with the government of Eun Guo, but since the emperor almost assigned Jiang Yixi to Han Huaijun, Princess Qi took a root thorn in her heart and could not sleep for several nights, for fear that Jiang Yixi would eventually marry Han Huaijun.Although Jiang Yixi's heir is difficult, but she was born noble and her mother's family was powerful.If this really allowed Han Huaijun to marry her, then the eldest son of Han Huaijun said it would be more difficult to control!
How could she allow Han Junjun, a bitch son, to come out on top, wouldn't she hit her face? She had thought well, and wanted to find a more prominent marriage for her son, who thought that Fu Liuniang of Yongyang family would rather Marry the fool of the Nangong family!
Princess Qi became more and more annoyed, and stared fiercely at Nangong Yue, who was standing next to her, and couldn't help thinking of the meaningful post when she sent Fang Ziteng's slut back a few days ago. No hematemesis.
Seeing Princess Qi's face blue and white for a while, Mrs. Shizi smiled faintly: "It's true that Princess Lao has bothered, marriage, and fate, can't do such a strong buy and strong sell!"
Mrs. Shizi's words were also meaningful, and she was so angry that she looked pale and turned her sleeves toward Han Qixia, who was talking with Nangong Yue intimately, and rudely pulled up her hand. We, we are going." When Wang Qi returned to the government at night, she had to ask Wang Qi to make a good report! Just thinking of Wang Qi being beaten by Yongyang last time, she was very picky about herself. Dissatisfied, she hesitated again.
"Mother Concubine." Han Qixia cried pleadingly.It was just rude to leave just now.
Princess Qi's heart was horizontal, and she wanted to leave when she pulled Han Qixia.At this time, two soft cars arrived with a swing, and Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yizheng were coming out of the car, just to see Princess Qi pulling Han Qixia. Want to get on the carriage.
Mrs. Zhang was supported by Zhang Yizheng, smiling gently towards Princess Qi, first saluted, and then said intimately: "Princess, what's wrong with this? Why is this going to go?" He said lightly to Mrs. Shizi At a glance, "Why did you neglect the princess?"
Princess Qi said with a cold face: "Enguo Gongfu Temple is big, this princess can't climb high!"
"Princess dislikes my low status and is not worthy of entertaining her!" Mrs. Shizi shook her head bitterly.
But Zhang Yiying on the side did not focus on this, but looked at the "golden back red" behind Nangong Yue. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the chrysanthemum in Nangong Yue was also "gold backed red". There are six flowers in the plant, and my own plant has only five flowers. It feels like she was pressed hard by her.
Damn... annoyance flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.
Mrs. Zhang didn't notice the granddaughter's strangeness and started to do peace with a smile: "The princess has always been gentle and approachable. Where is this, there must be some misunderstanding..." Then she went to Princess Lacy, " Since the princess is here, how can you go like this, what can it be like to spread it out, go and give the old body a thin noodle, why should you stay and eat a meal before you go." Then she said to her granddaughter Zhang Yizong Winked.
Zhang Yilian took Han Qixia's arm intentionally and said, "Girl Han, it's a rare encounter. Let's go to the garden to enjoy the chrysanthemum."
Princess Qi was worried that there were no steps, and she could not help being relieved, so she naturally went down.
Mrs. Shizi smiled and watched the four men heading to the inner court under the steward of the stewardess, until their backs disappeared in front of their eyes, they sighed: "It seems that the Zhang family still wants to give birth to another prince What."
Jiang Yixi was slightly surprised.
The Zhang family was born as a merchant. Because one daughter was the palace concubine, and the other daughter was the wife of Mrs. Hou, she was squeezed into the prince.
Is that really the case?
Nangong Yue smiled on her lips, her expression was unclear...
"Concubine Shizi," Queer whispered in the ear of Nangongyue, "the slave-servant looked at Zhang Fu's pot and also brought a pot of gold and red"
Nangong Yue frowned slightly. Of course she didn't think her "gold back" was unique. She also made preparations for her to hit the flowers with Beppu. However, she collided with Zhang Fu, which made her feel really a little separated. should.
"Lily, Magpie..." Nangong Yue whispered in the ears of the two.
"Sister Xi, Ayue!"
At this time, another wagon arrived at the second door, and Fu Yunyan did not want to help her, so she got off the wagon easily.
Following this, Mrs. Fu came down from the car, supported by her maid, and looked at her daughter's frizzy look slightly helplessly.
Mrs. Shizi greeted her with a smile, and met Mrs. Fu with each other, and then ordered Jiang Yixi to lead Nangong Yue, Mrs. Fu, and Fu Yunyan to the flower hall to please Mrs. Eun Guo.
Everyone was busy greeting each other, and no one noticed that Lily and Queer walked away quietly...
Today, there are too many female families who wish to ask Mrs. Nguyong for security, so Nangong Yue, after seeing the ceremony for Mrs. Nguyong, did not say much and led a lady to the garden to admire the chrysanthemum, and Jiang Yixi went to welcome him customer.
The garden is filled with light floral fragrances and refreshing. Although it is late autumn, the autumn sunshine still brings a warmth. Various chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom. These chrysanthemums are mostly cold chrysanthemums. There are some blooming stamens...one plant, one pot, one clump, one pile, red like fire, yellow like gold, green like jade, white if cloud... hundreds of flowers, There are even thousands of chrysanthemums surrounded by flowers, striving for beauty and fighting, so dazzling.
Obviously, in order to fit the theme of today's chrysanthemum appreciation, the Ngong Government has spent a lot of effort to rebuild the garden.
As soon as you enter the garden, the maid of the Eunuch Government meets up and guides the location of Doujutai. The chrysanthemums participating in Doujudai will be put in Doujutai today.
Mrs. Fu ordered the maid of the bouquet to go, and Fu Yunyan noticed that there was nothing left beside her.After looking around for half a circle, she asked suspiciously: "Ayue, what about your chrysanthemum?" She narrowed her eyes and tried to remember whether Nangongyue had brought the chrysanthemum today.
Nangong Yue was about to answer, a familiar voice came from the front right: "Yueer, Liu Niang..."
Far away, I saw Yuan Yuyi wearing a crimson dress, approaching them with a bright smile, and then salute Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu and Yuan Yuyi exchanged a few words, and walked away happily, talking to several familiar ladies.
Seeing the elders walk away, Yuan Yuyi's expression became naughty, blinked, and looked at Fu Yunyan ridiculously, "Why are your aunts so tacit today? Even the clothes are wearing the same color system? Make an appointment?"
She said this, Nangong Yue only noticed that she and Fu Yunyan both wear chrysanthemum in the clothes they wear today.Nangong Yue's turquoise horse-faced skirt embroidered with big yellow chrysanthemums, and Fu Yunyan wore chrysanthemum Baby boy.
This is a coincidence! Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan glanced at each other, and smiles flashed in their eyes.
Fu Yunyan didn't care about Yuan Yuyi's ridicule at all and said frankly to Yuan Yuyi: "Our aunt-in-law has a good relationship! Yi cousin, are you envious?" She also deliberately increased the volume on "Aunt-in-law".
Yuan Yuyi shook her head helplessly, "This is how I made the appointment, and I claimed to be my aunt-in-law. Why didn't you know that Liu Niang was holding it? Be careful that you are scared away by A Xin." The two were familiar since childhood. My cousin, there is no scruples in making jokes.She was actually very happy for Fu Yunyan.
For this marriage to be beautiful, it is not only about having a good husband, but also whether the mother-in-law is good or not.Nangong Yue and Nang Gongxin's mother Lin, the original Yuyi naturally knows, but that is a person with no better temperament.Fu Yunyan will marry to Nangongfu in the future, there will be no disputes between mother-in-law and daughter, and she and Nangong Yue This little aunt has a good relationship. In the future, she will definitely be in the Nangong House, so when she gets married, she wants to play with her without worrying too much.
Fu Yunyan proudly lifted his not-so-full chest, and said confidently: "I'm like this, A Xin likes me like this!"
Yuan Yuyi was unable to help her forehead, but was surprised by Fu Yunyan's cheeky face.
Fu Yunyan couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
In laughter, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from the rear right: "Three sisters!"
I saw Nangong Lin hurried towards Nangong Yue, throwing Liu Qingqing and Nangong Yan behind two or three positions.
"Four younger sisters." Nangong Yue made a subtle nod to Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin didn't care about Nangong Yue's indifference at all, and gave Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan one by one.He had decided in his heart that this chrysanthemum feast must be followed by the three sisters, so that he would not worry about being with the nobles!
Liu Qingqing and Nangong Yan soon came over and saw each other.
Although they have seen each other before, Fu Yunyan was not the future daughter-in-law of the Nangong government, so this time Liu Qingqing's eyes when they inspected Fu Yunyan brought a hint of meaningful taste.
This little girl with a restrained personality may be a little ashamed, but Fu Yunyan has always been cheerful and generous, and she is calmly watched by them.
Then the six people admired the chrysanthemums around randomly. Liu Qingqing and Fu Yunyan went back and forth, and they talked intimately.
Among them, there is a concubine of the king of Zhennan and Yuyu, the owner of Liushuang County, so people come to them to salute from time to time, and there is almost no silence for a moment... Please ask the women in the garden to go to Doujutai and say that Douju is about to start.
The crowd swarmed towards Doujutai in twos and threes like a pigeon returning home.
This is said to be "Dou Jutai", but it is actually a high platform similar to the stage specially built by the government of the country. Under the high platform, several awnings were pulled up. A table and circle chairs were placed under the awning to attract the female guests to the seats. .
Having just sat down, Yuan Yuyi thought of a question and asked, "Yue'er, Liu Niang, do you know who is the judge of Dou Ju this time?"
Since we want to fight chrysanthemum, there must always be a judge to decide which pot is the chrysanthemum of today.
Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan looked at each other and completely forgot the question.Nangong Lin saw the opportunity came and quickly interjected: "Is it Mrs. Eun Guogong?"
She said that all others were smiling.
This wants today's judging, either to have enough taste for the flowers, to make the guests admire; or to have a noble identity, so that everyone is convinced to dare not have objections...Although Mrs. Nguyen's status is distinguished, no matter it is above Which one, she is not satisfied.
It's such a thoughtful thought, a few people are already thoughtful, and the government of Eun Guk rarely feasts on everyone in such a high-profile manner. Could it be that this time he came... thinking, couldn't help but glance at the sky.
"Prefects of the county, I know one or two about the recent judging." A hearty female voice suddenly came from the side, and the tone seemed quite familiar with Yuan Yuyi.
Yuan Yuyi was startled, as if she had thought of something, she looked at it in surprise, "Cousin Zi, how did you come back...No, when did you come back?" Saying she looked at each other with a weird look, "You Don't tell me when you come back... Wait, you come back, don't you say..." Yuan Yuyi's speech was a little bit upside down.
The "Cousin Zi" in the original Yuyi mouth seems to be twelve or three years old, and she is not particularly beautiful, but just beautiful, but she has a bright smile, a voice like a yellow oriole, but also has a crisp, bright eyes, and a lively look, Wearing an orange printed cardigan, a light yellow horse-faced skirt, it looks pretty and lively.
"Cousin Zi" chuckled and nodded: "Yes! As you think, cousin Yi." Then she smiled and greeted Liu Niang: "Cousin Yan..."
There was also a smile in Fu Yunyan's eyes, and she probably guessed something. She turned around and introduced to Nangong Yue: "Ayue, this is Lu..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by "Cousin Zi". Her eyes looked towards the entrance of the garden and she smiled: "Cao Cao, Cao Cao came."
Fu Yunyan did not know that Nangong Yue met this "Cousin Zi" for the first time in this life, but she knew her.Thinking of the identity of the other party, Nangong Yue also guessed the identity of the judge.
At this time, the women around them also saw the people one after another, as if a stone fell into the water, and ripples appeared again and again.
In the direction of the garden entrance, Mrs. En Guogong and Mrs. Shizi personally accompanied a thin old man with nearly 60 years of hair and half of his hair white, and he wore a golden apricot robe with chest and sleeves. The three-clawed dragon was embroidered with gold thread and the jasper crown was tied on his head. Even if he didn't know this person, he knew at least that he was at least one prince.
Mrs. En Guogong and the old man walked at the front. The two talked and laughed, and they were very familiar.
The female dependents whispered to each other: "It turned out to be An Wang!"
"Unexpectedly, the Emperor's Mansion even invited King An'an!"
"Did you say that An Wang went to Jiangnan for a few years, and he had already lost his mind?"
"..."
As soon as she talked about gossip, the women's families were all excited.
This An Wang is the first younger brother of the Emperor Xian, but he has always ignored political affairs, and has only loved the idle clouds and wild cranes, raised flowers and walked birds, and domesticated crickets. His ability is absolutely rare among the kings, at least among the dignitaries, not to mention that he is still the uncle of today.
Since An Wang's identity and appreciating ability are complete, it is indeed appropriate for him to be the judge of Dou Ju today. It is absolutely calm.
On the one hand, some of the female family members secretly admired the good intentions of the government of the country, and even the idle An Wang was invited, on the other hand, they couldn't help but speculate that even the An Wang of the idle cloud Yehe had to stand in a team? Does An Wang mean the emperor?
However, some of the women's families in Menqing knew that An Wang wouldn't join the seduction. This An Wang didn't have a son, only a daughter, and even a few years ago, he didn't even have a daughter, leaving only a granddaughter's name. Lu Yingzi.
An Wang is definitely an outright weird person recognized by Wang Du. How many people thought that he had no son to give up and gave him a concubine, but he was dismissed by his sentence "Mo Qiang begs no time in his life".
An Wang and his party gradually approached, and everyone was no longer good at whispering, and he was busy saluting An Wang.Even Princess Qi, the prince who met the elder An Wang, had to bow down.
An Wang waved his hand casually, "Don't be rude! I am not the prince today, but a judge."
Everyone is sullied, even if you say you are not a prince, but you are a prince!
An Wang didn't care about everyone's attitude at all. His attention was immediately attracted by the chrysanthemums on the Dou Ju platform. His eyes were scorching, and he couldn't hide his obsession. It was indeed a famous "three idiots", one idiot and two idiots. Bird three idiots crickets.
An Wang walked around quickly, pointing at the same time... the three young ladies who were behind him were saying something, and seemed to be remembering something.
The masters of the potted plants secretly rejoiced in the heart. Who knows that King An finally came: "These will not work, they will be eliminated first! They will be moved to me!" He waved his arms and eliminated most of them. The maid moved quickly and sensitively with her hands and feet, and removed all the chrysanthemums that had been eliminated.
In the blink of an eye, there were only twenty pots of chrysanthemums left on the chrysanthemum platform: "Embellished Pei skirt", "Green clothes and red dress", "Gold back red", "Green peony", "Ten feet bead curtain" , "Fairy Zuo Fei", "Phoenix Zhenyu"...... From this point of view, a pot of pots are all different styles, each has its own advantages and characteristics, and everyone on this stage does not understand flowers at all. Next thought: This An Wang is indeed a "three idiots", Jian Hua still has some vision.
Following An Wang let the maids put several kinds of chrysanthemums of the same variety together, two pots of "ten-foot bead curtain" would eliminate one pot; three pots of "green cloud" would eliminate two pots... wait for the turn of two pots of gold While carrying a big red back, An Wang glanced back and forth, and his eyes fell on one of the six pots of potted plants. His eyes sighed pitifully: "It's a pity to fold one..."
Off the stage, Zhang Yi's eyes flashed a smack of pride, saying: Well, the key is to see who can laugh to the end...
