Chapter 201 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
On the sixth day after the Chinese Valentine's Day, Princess Xin died of illness. Princess Xin can be said to be angry to death by Princess Yuan Xin, but the reason why Princess Yuan Xin is so stupid is that Princess Xin is favored by Princess Xin. The cause and effect are really hard to tell.
The Xinwang Mansion and the Rong Mansion had little contact and had different political views, but the deceased was the most important, so Yan Huo still followed Princess Nanping to the Xinwang Mansion to pay his respects. In the mourning hall, Yan Huo did not see Prince Yuan Xin's princess, and it was said that he was seriously ill. The one who was in charge of the overall situation was the current Prince Xin's princess, who was the legitimate wife of the second son of Prince Xin.
The autumn tiger was peeled and the princess was placed in a funeral for seven days. Although the Minister's Mansion also set up a road sacrifice, Yan Hu did not go. He was with Zeng Yuzhi, whose belly was slightly raised, and held this collection of poems in his hand, "The jade made up a tree high, and thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don't know who cuts out the fine leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors."
Zeng Yuzhi was eating grapes and smiling at her sister-in-law. She didn't understand this prenatal education, so she just pretended to make her sister-in-law happy.
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown." Yan Huo shook his head and continued to recite the next poem.
Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye it was August 15th, and the palace banquet was held as scheduled. In the afternoon, Yan Hu followed his parents into the palace, Yan Tongzhu stayed at home to accompany his pregnant wife, and Yan Tongming was like a wild horse that broke away, but he was not sure where he went.
After entering the palace and reaching the Jiaofang Hall, Empress Shen, who was sitting upright in the seat, dressed in a bright yellow queen costume, complained to her, "You girl has entered the palace. Tell me, how long has it been since you entered the palace to see your aunt?"
"Does my aunt have good things to give me?" Yan Huo asked with a smile. She didn't want to go in this palace often.
"The girl who is rich and missed." Queen Shen laughed and cursed, "The Jiangning Weaving Factory has sent three clouds of light. I think the color is the best for you. When you leave the palace, you will take it back and wear it with a dress."
"Empress, you will spoil this girl like this." Princess Nanping hurriedly stopped her.
"Xiaoxiao is sensible, so she can't be spoiled." Queen Shen said with a glance.
Yan Hu didn't stay in the hall for too long. After all, the hall was full of married women. Although she had been engaged, she had not yet gotten married. So she was led by the palace maid to the Koyao Garden in the Imperial Garden. The girls in the boudoir gathered in the water pavilion, either chanting poems and paintings, flying flowers and flying orders, or leaning against the railing to feed the koi carp raised in the Koyao Garden.
Yan Huo saw Guo Baochan, and also saw Song Juan beside her, and walked over, "Baochan."
"Xiaoxiao." Guo Baochan saw Yan Huo, and someone who saved her from suffering finally appeared.
However, Yan Hu's arrival did not keep Song Juan away. She still stubbornly stuck to Guo Baochan, and interrupted from time to time when Guo Baochan talked with Yan Hu. In the palace, Yan Hu and Guo Baochan were not angry and drove her away, so they could only sprinkle fish food into the roe, which made a large group of Hongjin swim over to grab the food.
"A pleasure boat is coming." Someone suddenly shouted.
Yan Huo looked up and saw a double-layer carved pleasure boat floating down the river. The ones standing on the pleasure boat were full of young men with tall figures and outstanding temperament.
"It's the prince." Some people have better eyesight.
The pleasure boat gradually approached, and Yan Hu discovered that there was not only the crown prince, but also the second prince Tang Xi, the third prince Tang Zhi, Tang Jiang, Min Xiangbao, Shen Mufan... Fu Zhixing and other royal relatives and nobles.
With so many handsome young men in front of you, the ladies couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Although the prince and the second prince already had a concubine, the third prince did not yet. Besides, the prince now has only one girl. If he enters the Eastern Palace, he will be a man in one fell swoop, what is the prince's concubine?
"Cousin, which young man in the blue brocade robe is that young man from?" Song Juan suddenly asked.
The only young man wearing a blue brocade robe on the pleasure boat was either Fu Zhixing. Yan Huo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That is Fu Zhixing, the Prince of Anguo." He paused and added, "My fiancé."
Song Juan's expression froze, and she swallowed all the questions she wanted to ask. She wanted to find a noble son-in-law, why is it so difficult?
The pleasure boat was taken away, and the water pavilion returned to the situation where everyone was happy just now. I wonder if Song Juan was hit, but she did not disturb Yan Hu and Guo Baochan’s chat any more.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner party was held at the beginning of the Youth hour. The noble girls, led by the palace maids, went to Mingyue Palace. What Yan Hu didn't expect was that she saw the princess who had returned to the girl's house dress as Qiqige.
The banquet was full of peace, and the scene of prosperity was a prosperous era. But something disharmonious happened, such as Princess Qiqige suddenly vomiting. The emperor and Queen Shen frowned. Other ladies who had given birth were wondering, could this be a child?
This speculation was confirmed by the imperial physician. If Princess Qiqige is two months pregnant, if Princess Qiqige and Tang Keji are less than two months away, is the child in her womb belonging to Tang Keji?
The Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet ended hastily because of this matter. Yan Hu was still curious about the follow-up of this matter, so he asked Honeysuckle to pay more attention to the rumors in the market. Five days later, Honeysuckle came to tell Yan Hu, "Princess Ruqiqige was clamoring to marry Prince Yuanxin, saying that she was pregnant with his child."
Yan Hu's mouth twitched slightly. Princess Qiqige was really not an ordinary person. She divorced her ex-husband and married her ex-father-in-law again, but she could think of it.
Princess Ruqiqige failed to get her wish in the end, and the emperor would not have let this happen. She asked the doctor to prescribe a fetal slimming pill and forced it into her mouth. Half an hour later, a bloody thing came out amid Princess Ruqiqige's screams. It was a child who had not yet formed in her belly.
On August 20th, Princess Ruilu married Fan Juren and returned to her hometown with her husband. Only then did the various palaces realize that Princess Ruilu had really lost the emperor's favor and would be difficult to return to the capital during her lifetime.
The next day, the emperor enthroned two younger brothers as King Lu, King Wei, the second son Tang Yu was named King Su, the third son Tang Zhi was named King Gong, and the Ministry of Works was appointed as King Gong. Fu Zhixing, who was trained in the Ministry of Works, sometimes he was busy and could not return to Duke Anguo's mansion for several days.
On that day, Fu Zhixing had just finished reading the geometric map and Changsui came in, "Is the prince tired? I'll take a break when I'm tired. Miss Yan sent me a small snack with a food box, and the young master can eat something."
"Xiaoxiao sends snacks." Fu Zhixing's lips raised, "What is it?"
Changsui quickly put the food box in front of Fu Zhixing and opened the lid. The first layer was the red date milk cake, which was small and delicate. The second layer was the meat floss rice ball, which was also small, bite at a time. Fu Zhixing prefers salty ones, and he reached out to hold the meat floss rice ball. There were also diced sausages and crisp cucumbers in the rice ball. After eating, it was refreshing, salty and fragrant, and the taste was excellent.
After eating five of them in a row, Fu Zhixing took the handkerchief and drank another cup of tea. Then he felt comfortable. He asked Changsui to take the things and wrote a short letter, "Send it to Miss Yan."
