In the evening, they had dinner in Yonghe Palace. The Emperor declined the invitation because he was busy with government affairs and sent Eunuch Li to pass on the message. He also brought Princess Wen Xian's sweet and sour carp that he had specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare.
At this time, the Yong He Palace was very lively. The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince immediately rushed over when they heard the news. The Fourth Prince still had a serious face. After respectfully bowing to Consort De, he sat upright and waited quietly.
The Thirteenth Prince had been staring at me since he came in. I stared at him fiercely and mouthed,"Don't look at me. I don't owe you anything.”
When the Thirteenth Prince heard this, he was happy and also imitated my lip language,"Who says you don't have one? You owe me a gift!”
Oh no, I was busy preparing the wind chimes these few days, plus I was interrupted by the 14th brother, so I forgot about it for a moment.
"Thirteenth Brother, what are you busy with?”It was Yazhi's voice! Could it be that she had discovered everything just now?
"This should be the Fujin that Fourteenth Brother is going to marry, right? He had long heard that the Tong Family's young lady was proficient in the four arts, and was also beautiful and virtuous. Seeing her today, she indeed lived up to her reputation. Fourteenth brother, you're really lucky!" Thirteenth Brother, oh Thirteenth Brother, I have no objections if you praise her, but why did you point the spearhead at the Fourteenth Brother?
Fourteen straightened his back and said to the Thirteenth Prince,""Since Brother Shisan praises Miss Tong so highly, why don't Brother Shisan give her to you!”
It was fine if I didn't hear it, but when I heard it, I almost laughed out loud.
"Shisi, what are you saying?" Consort De Niangniang stopped her conversation with Princess Wen Xian and turned to reprimand the Fourteenth Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince stopped laughing and said,""I wouldn't dare. The Tong Family's young lady was personally chosen by Imperial Grandmother and Imperial Ma to be given to you.”
Princess Wen Xian secretly looked at the two brothers and smiled,"You guys can stop making a fuss. Why isn't Imperial Grandmother here yet? Quickly send someone to take a look."
That was true. The group of people were all sitting and waiting for the Empress Dowager. At this moment, the laughter from before had subsided.
Speaking of which, the eunuch at the door shouted,"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
The empress dowager was wearing a yellow cheongsam. Her black hair could not hide the traces of time, and it was already mixed with a lot of gray hair. The phoenix crown on her head was high up in the air, and the phoenix that was about to fly had a proud temperament. Behind him were six servants and four eunuchs. What an imposing manner!
After everyone saluted, Princess Wen Xian immediately went up to welcome her and personally supported the Empress Dowager. Sister Qing Yun ordered the banquet to be prepared! The group of people was led by Qing Yun to eat. I stole a glance at the 14th brother and saw Ya Zhi wanting to go up and hold the 14th brother's hand. After being quietly shaken off by the 14th brother, the 14th brother went in on his own, leaving Ya Zhi with a face full of anger! I really couldn't help but laugh. Only then did I realize that Yazhi was glaring at me angrily. I smiled coldly and turned around, only to find that Fourth Brother was looking at us not far away. What would this meticulous person detect?
Everyone sat down!
Qing Yun and I brought food and wine and served them plate after plate. From time to time, I could feel No. 14's gaze on me from the corner of my eye. Although I was happy in my heart, I didn't dare to look at him. Just now, Thirteen and I were talking about lip language to attract her attention. As the prospective Fourteenth Fujin, she would naturally pay attention to the Fourteenth Prince. If she noticed that I was looking at the Fourteenth Prince, if she exposed it, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of trouble.
After the dishes and wine were served, Qingyun and I waited at the side. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. The dining table was filled with laughter.
The Empress Dowager said to Princess Wen Xian,"Good child, Imperial Grandmother has not seen you for a long time. Come and let Imperial Grandmother see you!"”
"Imperial Grandmother, isn't Wen Xian here? She even brought you the future Fourteenth Fujin. Yazhi can't help but want to see Fourteenth Brother. She's even more anxious than me!”
As soon as Princess Wen Xian said this, Ya Zhi immediately covered her face with a handkerchief, her posture was coquettish, like a young lady who had just gotten married. "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me!”
Forget it, I've never seen you being shy when you were showing off back then!
Everyone was laughing at Yazhi's shyness. Only No. 14 had a cold expression on his face as he ate. From time to time, he would look up at me from his bowl. I could only pretend to be calm and collected!
"Come, Yazhi, let me take a look. I haven't had a good look at you when I was selecting the show girls!”The Empress Dowager looked over and carefully looked at it. She reached out to hold the Empress Dowager's hand obediently!
After the Empress Dowager examined her, she said," She is indeed a beauty. The women of the Tong family are all so pitiful. Back then, the former emperor loved his sister very much!”
"Thank you Empress Dowager for exaggerating, how can this little daughter compare to aunt!”How much honey did Yazhi eat?
"Previously, Wen Xian told this widow that Shisi liked Ya Zhi. Coincidentally, the emperor was busy with government affairs that day, and this widow came out to help the emperor choose the best women. Coincidentally, you were one of the first batch on that day. It's true that lovers finally get together!"
Consort De continued," Empress Dowager, this is your kind intention. You will remember it on the 14th. When the first day of the 8th month arrives, they will be married!" When the time comes, you'll be ready to carry your great-grandson!”
What was that? August 1st? My feet trembled. Qing Yun saw this and quickly supported me. I almost fell backwards!
Ruoxuan, oh Ruoxuan, what are you doing? Didn't he agree to it? Back then, it was because of their wild suspicions that they were riddled with wounds. Now, everything was clear. This result was something that no one could have expected! Didn't he say it himself? In the depths of the palace, there were some things that one could not control! Who was the master? Stick to the promise given by the 14th, bravely pursue happiness!
There was a complicated look in Fourteen's eyes that I couldn't figure out. The Fourth Prince leisurely held his wine cup and drank by himself. He didn't know what he saw.
I whispered to Qing Yun,"Sister Qing Yun, can you let me go outside for some fresh air? I'm a little dizzy!"”
Qingyun saw that I was so distracted and almost fell down just now. She agreed!
