As Lan Ge'er's first birthday party is getting closer, Ning Huayue seems to be ready to start working on it.
When saying hello in the morning, she mentioned the first birthday party.
"Brother Lan will be one year old soon, and the palace will entertain guests at that time." At this point, Ning Huayue paused, and suddenly asked Lu Qing without warning, "Concubine Wei, do you have any ideas?"
Lu Qing replied: "I have no idea, please bother the princess to worry about Brother Lan."
Ning Hua Yue pointed out: "Although Lan Ge'er is the prince's first child, I don't dare to break the distinction between concubines and concubines set by our ancestors easily. I can only follow the rules of concubines. Wei Concubine doesn't Do you have any opinions?"
Lu Qing's smile remained the same: "The rules are the rules. Neither I nor Brother Lan will ever think of going beyond the rules. The princess and the queen don't have to worry too much."
Lu Qing knew exactly what position she and her child were in. She won't let go of what she can get, and she won't delusional about what doesn't belong to her.
As long as Ning Huayue doesn't mess around and holds the first birthday party honestly and according to the rules, Lu Qing will be happy and there will never be a single complaint.
Ning Huayue said calmly: "That's good."
She thought that was the end of the matter, so she quickly finalized the arrangements for the first-year banquet in a perfunctory manner, without spending any extra thought, and prepared everything exactly according to the regulations.
But Hemingyuan would ask about the progress every now and then, add this and that, and forcefully arranged many things that could only be used by legitimate sons at Lan Geer's first birthday party.
On the day of the first-year banquet, there were a lot of guests at the door of Prince Jin's Mansion, and almost all the prominent figures in the court came with their families to support them.
The first-year banquet for a prince's concubine was several times more lively than the first-year banquet for the prince's legitimate daughter.
Lan Geer was wearing red clothes and a cute little hat on her head. She was fair and tender and was shown off by Yan Fuguang.
Yan Xianzhi was itching with hatred, but even though he was envious, he still said: "It's a pity, he's just the eldest son of a concubine."
Yan Fuguang ignored him and handed Lan Ge'er to the eager Yan Changfeng: "Here, give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible."
Yan Changfeng's hands are capable of painting, playing chess, playing the piano, and writing poems, but he can't hold a child.
He bent his arms stiffly, holding the soft little guy in his arms, not daring to move.
Yan Xianzhi curled her lips and glanced here quietly for a few times. Unable to resist the temptation, she raised her hand to give instructions: "Hey, don't hold me like this, he doesn't feel comfortable..."
As he spoke, he tried to take away Lan Geer's joy from Yan Changfeng's hands.
Only then did his hand touch Brother Lan's clothes, "Wow——"
The sound of crying and howling echoed through the sky.
Yan Xianzhi was extremely embarrassed and quickly took back her hand.
Brother Lan immediately stopped talking, without a single tear on his face, and lay leisurely in his second uncle's arms.
Yan Xianzhi: "..."
Just like his father, he is a nuisance! Specifically for him!
**
Compared to the happy and peaceful atmosphere in the front, things are much more complicated in the backyard.
Today is Lan Ge'er's first birthday, and Lu Qing is also dressed more brightly than before. The female relatives who come and go seem to glance at her unintentionally.
She seemed to be able to imagine what these people were thinking when they looked at her.
It's nothing more than: This is the woman who gave birth to the eldest son of King Jin's concubine. I heard that she was from a low background, but she was very lucky...
More people looked down on her, and the emotion called contempt was most obvious in their glances, and they did not shy away from it at all.
A woman with a somewhat familiar face walked up to her, glanced lightly, and raised a corner of her mouth: "Are you Concubine Wei?"
Lu Qing nodded: "Exactly, I wonder what I call my wife?"
"My husband's family name is Ning."
This person is Ning Huayue's mother, Mrs. Ning. She has long been prepared to come and teach this bad guy who bullied her daughter a lesson.
Lu Qing sensed the unkindness of the other party's approach, so she bowed politely and said, "Hello, Mrs. Ning."
The arrogant Mrs. Ning was eager to protect her daughter, and she had long hated Lu Qing and gnashed her teeth, "I don't dare to do it. Concubine Wei is very capable. She can make the prince kill his wife for your pampering concubine and implicate our Ning family. How can I be so good to you?" Woolen cloth?"
Doting on concubines and destroying wives? What a big hat!
"Mrs. Ning doesn't dare to take the position, and neither do I." Lu Qing straightened his back, neither humble nor arrogant, "It's true that it's a rumor that he spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife. If there is any misunderstanding, it is probably because the prince loves his son as much as you care about the princess. "
"Sharp-tongued!" Mrs. Ning was used to lecturing the concubines in their house, and she raised her hand without realizing it.
Lu Qing did not dodge, but smiled and said: "I will follow Mrs. Ning's disposal, it depends on whether you dare to take action."
Mrs. Ning's hand was raised in the air, neither hitting nor releasing it. She was stiff for a while.
Chen Qingzi was passing by with Crown Princess Jiang Mihe and Princess Qi Lin Shuxian, and happened to see this scene.
Jiang Mihe frowned slightly and asked Chen Qingzi on one side: "Who is the person opposite Mrs. Ning?"
"...She is the concubine Wei in our mansion, the biological mother of the young master."
Lin Shuxian smiled softly and said quietly: "Are all people in the Ning family so bold?"
Bold? It’s a bear’s heart and a leopard’s courage!
Dare to interfere in the affairs of the palace and teach a concubine who has a son by her side, thinking that this is their backyard?
Jiang Mihe couldn't see Mrs. Ning being so arrogant, so she walked over and said hello: "Isn't this Mrs. Ning? Are you here so early?"
Mrs. Ning's face stiffened, she slowly retracted her hand, and said with a smile: "I've just met the Crown Princess, so I just came here, so it's not too early."
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then saluted: "I have met the Crown Princess, and I want to pay my respects to the Crown Princess."
Jiang Mihe's impression of Lu Qing was that of a weak woman with no strength. She lowered her voice and asked: "Today is a good day for you and Brother Lan, why are you standing here basking in the sun?" ?”
Lu Qing curled her lips and said, "I came out to get something and happened to meet Mrs. Ning."
"Oh? What does Mrs. Ning want from you? Why does it seem to me that she wants to..."
Mrs. Ning smiled apologetically: "I am not familiar with the palace, so I asked Concubine Wei to help guide the way."
Jiang Mihe said nothing and looked at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing smiled and nodded: "That's true. Let's not talk about this anymore. The sun is shining outside, so the princess can go in with my concubine."
Advancing and retreating in a controlled manner and understanding the general situation, Jiang Mihe glanced at her a few more times.
Nongxi Pavilion is a courtyard specially used for entertaining guests. It is built by the water and has a stage inside. It is already very lively at this time.
Ning Huayue was sitting on the main seat with a stupefied face, and was shocked when she saw Mrs. Ning coming in.
Mother and daughter couldn't speak for a long time, so they were holding back a lot.
Ning Huayue led Mrs. Ning to the resting place at the back, and she couldn't help crying after closing the door.
"Mom, it was me who harmed my brother..."
"Nonsense! It was clearly the vixen in your house who caused it!" Mrs. Ning stroked her daughter's hair lovingly and said distressedly, "You have lost weight, so don't think about these things. There is still your grandfather in the hall, no matter how bad it is. Your father, Huai'an will be able to return to Beijing in a few years."
"On the contrary, Wei, what are you going to do?"
Ning Huayue smiled bitterly: "I can't do anything now. The prince is partial to their mother and son."
She sighed again when she said it, and Mrs. Ning had no choice but to say: "That's all, don't do anything for now, mother will find a way for you."
