Chapter 93: Mentally attach importance to, but tactically despise
Yikun Palace.
She was worthy of being the empress Yi Fei who had the strongest love for her during the Kangxi pilgrimage. However, for her second son's ordinary birthday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs always arranged it according to the highest standards.
When Lu Fei arrived, he looked at the concubines in the courtyard and was in a trance for a moment. He thought it was a feast in the palace.
Because of the dream that night, Lu Pheasant always had a bad premonition in her heart. On this day, she got up early, dressed up and entered the palace.
When I arrived at Yonghe Palace, I saw that Concubine De, who had always made all preparations, was still wearing regular clothes and was carefully looking at the new autumn and winter clothes made by the Fourteenth Prince.
The seventh princess who lives in the side hall hasn't even gotten up yet.
Lu Fei remembered her friend the Fourth Princess in Yikun Palace, and when she said she wanted to go there first, Concubine De held her down and said, "No hurry. Wait for Yinzhen, you two can go there together."
Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother has not come yet.
I sent someone to ask, and they said that Brother Si was corrected by his master at the riding and shooting range today, so he stayed on his own initiative to practice more.
Lu Pheasant: "..."
Everyone in Sijiu City knows that Brother Si is not good at riding and shooting.
Yinzhen himself was not interested in riding and shooting, so he specifically chose days like this to practice more. This excuse was really "clever".
Lu Pheasant thought about it in his heart and understood.
Who says the relationship between mother and son is not good? There is no tacit understanding.
At least in terms of their attitude towards Yikun Palace, it can be said that they share the same hatred and hatred towards the outside world. They attach great importance to it mentally and despise it tactically.
As the Sifu Jin, Lu Pheasant naturally wanted to unite with them.
When Lu Pheasant arrived at Yikun Palace, he first sighed at the extraordinary scale of Brother Jiu's simple birthday, and then saw the eager eyes of the fourth princess who had been waiting for a long time.
As the elder, Concubine De does not have to advance the birthday of her juniors, unlike other concubines below the fourth concubine who need to come to please Concubine Yi, so they naturally have to come later.
Of course, the concubines came so neatly. In addition to giving Yi Fei face, they also speculated that if the emperor was free today, he would probably stop by Yikun Palace.
If it were possible to see the emperor more often, the concubines would naturally try their best.
As a junior, Lu Pheasant came alone, and after sharing a table with Fourth Brother, he went to greet Concubine Yi according to the rules, but was pulled to their table by the Fifth Princess.
Fifth Princess: "Fourth sister-in-law is really late. She made us wait."
The fourth princess on the side handed a cup of tea to Ulanara's hand very naturally.
Lu Zhi had a decent smile on his face: "You will be punished with one drink, and you will be punished with one drink."
The fifth princess was just joking and didn't care whether she was drinking tea or wine. Several little girls of similar age soon chatted happily together.
Lu Pheasant listened to the fifth princess talking about the books she had read recently, and took the time to answer some of the fourth princess's questions.
Sensing the curious eyes of the people at the next table, she raised her glass and planned to go over to say hello to Da Fujin and the others. The fifth princess pressed her down and said, "The banquets in Yikun Palace are always the most casual. Fourth sister-in-law, there is no need to rush there. I heard that the banquets in Yikun Palace are always the most casual." The eldest sister has just returned to Beijing, she might show up later."
The one who can make the four princesses call big sister is naturally the eldest princess Benwa of Fuwa, the daughter of Prince Gong and the adopted daughter of Emperor Kangxi.
Three years ago, the eldest princess was canonized as Princess Heshuo Chunxi and married Mongolian Borzigit Bandi.
With the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager here, it would be no exaggeration to say that the Borzigit family was the first choice for a Manchu-Mongolian marriage.
As a lucky baby, after the eldest princess got married, she and her husband and wife treated each other as guests, and they lived a good life.
It is very inconvenient for a princess to return to Beijing after she gets married, but with the love of so many elders, it is not difficult for the eldest princess.
With the princess's kind-hearted nature, she would probably come over to join in the fun.
Just as he was talking, his daughter-in-law Wu Fujin, who had been following Empress Yi Fei to help, came over at this moment.
She took a look at the table layout and saw that the Dong E family of Sanfujin and Dafujin were still together.
Si Fujin sat closer to the princesses.
The contrast in atmosphere is even more obvious.
After being given some advice, San Fujin is now much more well-behaved.
What's more, in Yikun Palace, it is naturally the home court of Wufujin, the serious daughter-in-law. No matter how vain Dong E is, he will not choose to show off here.
To say that the current relationship between the sisters-in-law of Fujin can only be said to be peaceful, not harmonious.
According to the personality of Tatala of the Fifth Fortune Jin Dynasty, he would naturally prefer to be with the Uranala family of the Fourth Fortune Jin Dynasty.
It's not that Tara likes Uranala very much, but compared to several other Fujins, Si Fujin is a good listener most of the time, and the advice she gives from time to time is quite pertinent.
No, I don’t know when Uranala got along so well with several princesses. It’s really a good thing.
Tarashi was still hesitating when there was a movement outside.
It was the quasi-Crown Princess Shi and the eldest princess who arrived at the same time.
Now it was not Wu Fujin's turn to make a choice, so she quickly stepped forward to greet him.
The two important figures at the banquet completed their pleasantries and sat down at their respective tables.
Lu Pheasant looked at the appearance of Princess Fuwa. She was indeed blessed and happy. Such a stable destiny was rare among ordinary people, let alone in a wealthy family that was prone to ups and downs.
The eldest princess is also observing several new daughter-in-laws who have married into the royal family in the three years since she was married.
Obviously, the most popular one is the Sifujin Uranala clan who is closest to the princesses.
To be able to win the love of the beautiful princesses in the sky in a short period of time, no matter whether it is good or bad, is obviously some ability.
After three rounds of drinking, the birthday banquet of the Ninth Prince of Yikun Palace has been very successful so far. The things prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are neat and there are many guests. Since it is not a formal banquet, and Concubine Yi likes to be lively, The overall atmosphere was also more relaxed and pleasant than usual.
While the laughter was rising and falling, suddenly, a high-pitched voice from the male guest seat attracted everyone's attention.
"Fourth brother, are you really unwilling to give face to your younger brother?"
Hearing the familiar name, Lu Pheasant turned his face sideways.
Through the gaps between several marble screens, I could vaguely see several brothers standing at the center of the dispute.
The fourth elder brother was sitting upright, his face showing a hint of drunkenness.
The fourteenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother have two little carrot heads standing on the right side of the fourth elder brother.
On the left, today's birthday boy, the ninth elder brother, is taking the lead. Standing behind him are the tenth elder brother, the eleventh elder brother, and the eighth elder brother who wants to squeeze in.
And the seventh prince who didn’t know whether to squeeze in or not.
The other elder brothers, the third elder brother, and the fifth elder brother, who are in a longer order, sit on the other side of the table.
The prince was not present.
The one who spoke was the ninth elder brother Yinzhen, who looked even redder than the fourth elder brother: "Fourth elder brother, forget it at ordinary times, today is my younger brother's birthday, you are late, even if you don't even toast to me, you are too late." Pushing three and blocking four. On days like this, my younger brother really can’t help but want to ask, could it be that my younger brother offended my fourth brother at some point?”
