Chapter 216: I’m afraid I’ll be laughed at for the rest of my life
The eldest brother's birthday party has arrived as scheduled.
As usual, no matter where it is held, there is full pomp and circumstance.
While greeting the guests at the door, I should also mention that it is also the eighth prince’s birthday.
The eighth elder brother stood behind the eldest elder brother, still with a decent and faultless smile on his face.
He almost had to confirm that the eldest brother had determined that the two brothers had the same birthday.
Anyway, the eldest brother never listens to denials from others.
He's used to it.
But what is different from usual is that the distinguished guests who come to the door always mention the word "potato".
The kindness on Dafujin's face was almost unbearable.
The emperor explicitly ordered that people in Yanxi Palace were not allowed to enjoy the high-yielding crops and glass of Si Age and his wife.
Therefore, the eldest brother’s birthday banquet did not include delicacies made from fresh ingredients such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn that were fried hot outside.
There was inevitable disappointment on the faces of some of the guests.
Some of them were garrulous and conveyed the emperor's intention.
The eldest brother and Da Fujin looked even worse when they heard this.
It was at this time that Si Age and his wife came to visit.
They definitely received a huge amount of attention compared to last year.
Lu Pheasant almost thought he had grown into a "potato".
Thinking about it, the little lover would feel no less attention than hers at the male guests' table.
The eldest princess has already set off back to Mongolia.
The princesses are in the palace and cannot get out.
The quasi-Crown Princess Shi accepted her suggestion and ran to a Purity Temple without knowing it.
There was no one to talk to for a while, so Lu Zhi got up and left the table with the excuse of having a clean room.
When we got to the side hall where the female guests rested, it was still not clean.
"Look, isn't that Princess Shushen? Why does she still have the nerve to come?"
"Exactly. Before she got married, she showed off to us like that, saying that her new husband would never betray her."
"This is good, it's not the same. I heard that the foreigner was pregnant earlier than her."
"Really? That's really a big joke. Does the princess go out to make us happier at the banquet?"
"Haha, then we can't let her down."
…
Lu Zhi, who heard the gossip, hesitated and heard the voice of the sixth girl from Niu Hulu's family.
She already attracted enough attention on her own and didn't want to join in the fun anymore.
At this time, a voice came from the side: "Sifujin, why don't you go in and put on your makeup again?"
Lu Pheasant turned his face.
Seeing a bright and elegant woman wearing a red flag uniform, she bowed and said, "Shu Shen has seen the Four Fortunes of Jin."
It turns out that this is the heroine at the center of another topic, Princess Shushen.
Lu Pheasant responded with a courtesy.
"If not, how about changing places? Fujin will come with me."
The Nalan family and the eldest brother are on good terms, and it is normal for Princess Shushen to be familiar with the eldest brother's mansion.
Lu Pheasant also wanted to talk to the princess about "that clock".
They arrived at a remote place and sat down on the stone bench one after another.
The Lingxiao flower on the wall took out its branches and sprouted.
"Actually, it's my fault that I was young at that time. Before I got married, I thought I had already found my beloved. In front of my little sisters, I lost my sense of words."
"Now that they have suffered backlash, they have also responded verbally."
Lu Zhi said calmly: "Anyone who is jealous of you is not a sister."
Like the four diamond peonies in their underworld, they can only admire each other.
The princess smiled: "Sifujin is right. They only dare to gossip behind my back. Let's see how they dare to say it in front of me."
Lu Pheasant: "The princess is sober and rational."
The princess looked at Ling Xiao: "Everyone in the world likes the weak lilacs and gardenias, but I prefer Lingxiao flowers, which are brilliant and dazzling and grow freely. Where is Sifujin?"
"Every flower is in the eye of the eye. If I had to choose, all four gentlemen would be praised." Lu Zhi said directly, "The princess specially gave me such an expensive gift, but she encountered difficulties?"
The princess sighed: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at for a while. But what I'm afraid of is being laughed at for the rest of my life. To be honest, I want to make peace with Nalan Kuifang, but the Nalan family doesn't agree."
Peace and separation.
In fact, it was very common in the Han Dynasty.
Unlike today, even the empress in the late Qing Dynasty risked the disapproval of the world when she proposed reconciliation.
Even if Shushen is the princess, it is not easy to reconcile with her.
If this is the reason for giving a gift...
Lu Pheasant looked at her with a softer look: "The princess is frank. I deeply admire her."
The princess waved her hand: "Compared with Si Fujin, who focuses on the world's food and medical skills, I am just a little girl in a boudoir, tied up by a marriage. I don't deserve Si Fujin's sigh."
"There are times when dragons are trapped in the shallows. As long as the princess gets over this hurdle, she is not afraid of not being able to take off in the future."
"Shu Shen took the liberty of asking Sifu Jin for help today. How can we get through this?"
It is taboo for people in the world to talk superficially and talk deeply.
What's more, Ulanara clan and Princess Shushen are not on friendly terms.
Lu Pheasant took a step back and asked, "Has the princess mentioned your thoughts to your family?"
The princess shook her head: "Sifujin doesn't know something. In fact, Ama and Enie were not willing to let me marry into the Nalan family before. Now, their health is getting worse and worse, and I really can't bear them to worry about my affairs anymore." ,Headache."
"Prince Kang loves the princess to the core. If it weren't for you, I don't think he would come to the royal gate to beg for those potatoes and sweet potatoes. You and your father have the same sentiments. You both have plans for each other, but you never mention it when you meet face to face. I make a bold guess. , maybe Prince Kang is also at home, thinking about how to help you, but he doesn’t know the princess’s true plan.”
I would rather tear down a temple than break up a marriage.
Even the biological father, if his daughter refused to leave Nalan Kuifang, she might blame him and take away the title and treatment from his son-in-law.
Lu Pheasant added: "I think the biggest resistance the princess faces is not only your husband, but also the pressure from the elders. The princess can handle the consort, and I believe Prince Kang can also take down the elders. "
"Before that, the county commander should ask himself, have you really made up your mind?"
"My decision to ask Sifujin for help was indeed the right thing to do." Princess Shushen was rarely happy, "Of course I am convinced of what I think. From now on, I will raise a house full of dogs and will not want to raise any man. "
"A rotten person like Nalan Kuifang, who is indifferent and hates the old, is not as good as those real villains whose words and deeds are consistent. Every day I look at him one more time, I feel like my life will be shortened."
Lu Pheasant was amused for a moment: "Then I will first congratulate the princess, your wish has come true."
"Borrowing the four blessings to bring good luck."
Under the branches of Lingxiao, the two women were talking happily for the first time.
At the banquet, the eldest brother faced the full house of guests, and when he heard the word "potato" again, he could hardly squeeze out his smile.
Until the staff next to him whispered something into his ear.
The eldest brother was shocked and said: "Seriously?"
"Brother, you can give it a try. The stuff has been found."
"Sprouted?"
"Yes."
The eldest brother looked in the direction of the fourth brother, twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Well, that’s great!
See how he regains the dignity he deserves on his birthday from this couple.
