Lin Chuyu's eyes drooped lightly. With that, she naturally thought that she agreed and went forward with a smile.
When the concubine went away, Lin Chuyu looked up indifferently: "cicada."
"The maid is here."
"After the banquet starts, you will follow Mrs. Cai Shao quietly. I will solve other things." Lin Chuyu said.
Cicada looked at her, eyes should be down.
Soon the crowd arrived at the banquet.
Before the banquet began, Nanjia sat in the most beautiful Pavilion in the imperial garden.
The pavilion is open on all sides. Not far away is a hundred year old tree with dense branches. Now the sun is warm, and the pavilion is also in the shade, which is very cool and transparent.
Nanjia was sitting inside, with the only two concubines sitting beside her. The others were either standing or sitting on embroidered stools and joking on one side. Naturally, all the ladies from outside the palace also came and saluted one by one.
Nanjia was not good at social intercourse. After they gave the ceremony, she left only a few concubines she usually liked to talk to, including Su Qingfang.
"It's rare that the young lady is willing to come. It's been more than five months now. How heavy is she?" Nanjia looked at her bulging stomach with envy. If she could be pregnant with brother yuan's child
Thinking of this, Nanjia felt a slight fever in her ears.
Su Qingfang stroked her stomach and said with a smile: "when the mother's birthday comes, the minister's wife will come to celebrate. Now the month is still small, and she doesn't feel heavy."
"It's said that Mr. Cai is in a hurry to go home to take care of the pregnant woman. It's really a surprise that he will let you come today." It's funny.
Su Qingfang blushed a little and said shyly, "my husband loves me very much. My wife is very grateful."
Nanjia also said with a smile: "harmony between husband and wife is the most important."
Su Qingfang was smiling, but she was worried. Today, she didn't plan to come, because Lin Chuyu had already sent the news back, but there was one thing she had to tell Lin Chuyu herself.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked around, but there was no sign of Lin Chuyu.
Looking at Nanjia's happy face, concubine Xian said with a smile to Su Qingfang, "Madam Cai Shao, I hear you like orchids very much. There are several pots in front of you. Let's enjoy them together."
Someone joked: "your concubine does not want to get scriptures, learn how to get pregnant with the dragon as soon as possible."
This made everyone laugh, but Nanjia's smile was barely.
Seeing that Nanjia was unhappy, concubine Xian was so happy that she stood up to salute Nanjia and said, "if you don't mind, can you allow me to learn from Lady Cai?"
Nanjia took the handkerchief and tightened her hand slightly. She said with a smile, "since my sister is in love with Mrs. Cai Shao, I'll take a look. The flowers are specially sent by the emperor from outside the palace. They are very delicate. I'm afraid the gardeners in the palace can't keep them well, and they won't be seen in the future."
"No way." Immediately someone flattered: "the emperor so love the empress, if the empress like, the emperor will immediately order people to transfer into the palace."
Nanjia smiles shyly.
But the concubine said, "if the empress likes it, there's no need to beg the emperor. Just mention it to the Fu noble. The emperor will send someone to transport it immediately, and the empress will see the flowers she likes."
The faces of all the people on the scene were a little embarrassed. Nanjia tried her best to bear it, forced her smile on her face and didn't make a sound.
Su Qingfang saw the smoke here, and she didn't dare to stay any more. Moreover, she really needed an excuse to leave, so she got up and saluted the queen.
When she comes out with concubine Xian, Su Qingfang has not found an excuse to tell her that she wants to leave. Concubine Xian says with a smile, "young lady, I want to take good care of her baby."
"Naturally." Su Qingfang smile: "as a mother, there is no one who doesn't care for their children."
"The young lady really knows the truth. I heard that Fugui is the younger sister of the young lady's family. If only she had half of the wisdom of the young lady." Xian pin looked down at the delicate flowers in full bloom and touched them lightly with her fingers.
Su Qingfang was no longer the lady who once knew nothing. Hearing the words, she stepped slightly and pointed to the flower way: "the flower is also very beautiful."
"Yes, it's just like the blooming Fugui. Unfortunately, she doesn't know the truth that things will go against the extreme. After one season, these flowers will turn into dust, and the emperor's favor will disappear. She still has to rely on her back." The concubine looked at Su Qingfang with a smile and said, "it seems that lady Cai Shao doesn't have much contact with her mother's sister?"
Su Qingfang understood what she meant. She was trying to find out whether the Cai family and King Jingqin's house should be the backers of Fu Guiren, who now remembers Chong and is controversial in the court.
Su Qingfang gently bent her knees, then said: "I don't know how, my wife's stomach seems to be a little uncomfortable, if the concubine doesn't mind, I don't know if I can allow my wife to have a rest?"
Concubine Xian's palm is slightly tight. Is she not willing to take care of herself when she talks like this?"It seems that the young lady is really uncomfortable. Let me find a room for her. Someone..."
"No Su Qingfang directly refused her words. Before Chu Yu entered the palace, she might be afraid of concubine Xian. After all, she was the emperor's favorite concubine Xian. But since Chu Yu entered the palace, she knew what the emperor's real love was.
When the prime minister's house is in trouble, she has her own Jing Qin Wang's house and Cai's house to carry. When Xian bin is in trouble, she doesn't need to care.
With that, Su Qingfang curtseyed and walked away.
Concubine Xian was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a moment. After a long time, she was embarrassed and laughed: "who does she think she is? Even if I'm not a concubine now, the emperor will restore my position as a concubine sooner or later. How dare she, a little official lady, be so rude
But Su Qingfang ignored her, and her threats, both overt and covert, were ignored, because only she knew what Fugui's true identity was and who Wei Linyuan would turn to at the critical moment.
Sitting down on the corridor, Su Qingfang thought about where to find Lin Chuyu, so she saw a girl coming.
"Lady Cai Shao, I'm the servant cicada. I'm waiting for you. I'll let my maidservant stay with you until the banquet is over The cicada whispered.
Smell speech, Su Qingfang asks her immediately: "that you noble person, I have a word to say with her, can invite her to come over?"
The cicada looked outside and said, "you have something to deal with now. I'm afraid you can't be free for the time being. You'd better wait, but you're still pregnant. There are many things in the harem. You should be more careful."
Of course, Su Qingfang knew that she had learned it just now, but since Lin Chuyu had other plans, she didn't mind waiting. It's just that concubine Xian seems to be still staring here
