After Time Travel, I Married the Heroine and Her Brother - Chapter 102
The snow garden has been enveloped by the aroma of barbecue, and all the servants have followed suit. Whether it was the big girl who was waiting nearby, or the rough woman who cleaned, everyone ate barbecue and drank pear juice.
This meat is the meat roasted by the princess herself, and the pear juice is the pears from the pear garden. Some servants suddenly wanted to cry while eating and drinking. They are very lucky to meet such a master.
Ye Ping also sent two servings to Consort Wen and Aunt Qing, one heavy and the other light. The mild one is for Aunt Qing, I heard that her taste is mild. Wen Ruqin was extremely moved by this move, and his eyes were secretly red when he turned his back. Second sister-in-law can think of auntie, which means that second sister-in-law has never regarded auntie as a servant. The second sister-in-law’s kindness to her, she will remember for the rest of her life.
After changing to Sanxi in front of the oven, it is even more hot.
San likes to eat delicious food and is very energetic. She is like a duck to water when she does such a thing, and she has taken control of the entire barbecue stall in a short time.
Afterwards, too many things were roasted, and the extra meat and vegetables were sent to the guest house continuously. Song Jinyuan ignored Wen Yu’s cold face, and greeted Shen Ling warmly as if he was the master of the princess mansion.
Although Shen Ling was not on pins and needles, she was somewhat uncomfortable. Song Jinyuan could bury Wen Yu as a joke, but he didn’t dare. Not only could he not go along with it, but he had to try his best to persuade him. After several rounds, I also feel tired.
If it wasn’t that he couldn’t leave, he really wanted to leave.
Mr. Song doesn’t have the slightest prestige of the commander of the Jingwu Guard, he speaks insinuatingly, and he sounds like a housewife who is sour and jealous.
“Shen Shizi, you eat, why don’t you eat. You are the son-in-law of the princess’s mansion. When you come to Yue’s house, you can’t be the same as you are at your own home. Let go of eating and drinking. King Wen is not a stingy person. I won’t be afraid that you will eat up the princess mansion. Come, come, try this leek, I didn’t expect that leek can be roasted. It’s the princess of the county who has an idea, which really fills our stomachs and gives us a lot of knowledge.”
It was also the first time for Shen Ling to know that vegetables could be roasted. Even though he wasn’t thinking about eating, he was also attracted by this way of eating. After taking a sip, I was quite amazed.
He felt that he should say something to break the atmosphere.
He first talked about the people’s sentiments this year. Because of the favorable weather and no drought or waterlogging, the harvests in all places will not be bad. Right now it is the time of the autumn harvest, I heard that His Majesty mentioned that Longyan was very happy at this time when he went to court two days ago.
Song Jinyuan gave him a blank look, “The next officer still talks about court affairs, what’s the difference between that and the on-duty. Shen Shizi, you are so boring, it’s really disappointing.”
“I was talking too much.”
“You don’t say what you should say, and you say what you shouldn’t say. It’s not a slip of the tongue, but you can’t speak.”
Wen Yu squinted over with a calm expression.
“Shizi Shen cares about the people’s livelihood, he is a talent to be made, and he will definitely listen to the hadith with you and me in Jugan Palace in the future. Maybe he will be the one who speaks for you. Now you think he talks too much, he If Rita really keeps silent, you will definitely regret what Rita said.”
In the previous life, he was the regent. Although Jin Yuan was his right-hand man, he would inevitably be reprimanded by him. He remembered that Shen Ling had spoken to Jin Yuan more than once.
What kind of person is Song Jinyuan?
“What the king of the county reminds me is, what kind of friendship do I have with Shen Shizi? How could he resent me because of my outspokenness. Don’t you think so, Shen Shizi?”
Shen Ling was surprised, he didn’t expect his uncle to say such a thing, and he felt a little weird in his heart, as if they would really be like this in the future.
“Master Song cares about the security and defense of Yongchang City’s capital, which is very admirable.”
It sounded like an answer, but it sounded like he didn’t say anything.
Wen Yu winked at Song Jinyuan Dynasty, the meaning in his eyes is that you listen, this Shen Shizi speaks impeccably, and he will definitely not offend anyone in the future.
After a strange atmosphere, he was defeated by Wen Yu’s cold and deep eyes.
Wen Chengtian is really no match for this kid.
But when he thought of this kid staying alone in the vacant room like them, he felt at ease again. No matter how powerful this kid is, he is not afraid of guilt. He said long ago that they are brother-in-law, and they should be of the same heart. Brothers and sisters in need don’t think about helping each other, but in the end it will only hurt both sides.
This kid still doesn’t understand.
“Chengtian, you are even more boring. If the princess of the county dislikes you in the future, what will you do?”
At that time, this kid will know that his brother is good, at least he still has a lot of face with Tingniang, and there is no need to blow the pillow, Tingniang will naturally listen to him.
“No more words, I think your wife will probably live in the princess mansion all the time.”
Compared to coercing others, who can match Wen Yu.
There will be no mutual help and mutual assistance, and no one will be afraid of each other if they hurt each other.
Song Jinyuan immediately confessed, he was really afraid that this kid would go all out.
He thought with resentment, and looked straight at Shen Ling.
“What Shen Shizi said is that this year’s weather is good everywhere, and it is the best year for a bumper harvest. Counting nine days later, it will be the empress’s birthday, so I must take advantage of it to make a big deal.”
Shen Ling had gotten used to the quick change of his face, and began to speak according to his words.
Empress Gu’s birthday this time happens to be forty years old, and His Majesty really intends to make a big deal of it. Since it was the Queen’s Empress’ Qianqiu Banquet, both the Shen family and the Song family would naturally have to enter the palace to celebrate the Empress’s birthday.
Ye Ping, as the concubine of Yipin County, is of course one of the qualified wives. Even Wen Ruqin and Ye Ting would follow Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Song into the palace.
Day by day, this day is coming soon.
Ye Ting and Wen Ruqin returned to their respective homes three days in advance, and the hilarity in the Princess Mansion ended accordingly. When Shen Ling and Song Jinyuan picked up their daughter-in-law home, they ran faster than the other.
On the contrary, Wen Ruqin and Ye Ting were more reluctant than the other.
These days, they live too easily. Even Ye Ting has never been so happy as recently. Eating and drinking happily, and laughing loudly, are all experiences they have never had before.
The world is too harsh on women, even if they are the head of the house, they dare not act too much. If Ye Ping hadn’t brought them along, they would never have known such happy days in the world.
The more they cuddled, the more afraid Song Jinyuan and Shen Ling felt.
The two looked at Ye Ping’s expression as if they were looking at the werewolf who kidnapped their wives, which made Ye Ping a little dumbfounded. Obviously she was eating and playing with her, but she dared to become a bad person.
She complained angrily to Wen Yu, saying that next time there was such a good thing, she would never call these two people again, in exchange for Wen Yu’s black face visible to the naked eye.
And next time?
Absolutely not.
At this point, the three men have an unprecedented tacit understanding.
…
On the day of Empress Gu’s Qianqiu Banquet, Ye Ping got up early to freshen up. The loose clothes covered her waist very well, if you don’t look carefully, you really can’t see her protruding belly.
She was pregnant with ease this time, and she was extremely grateful.
The one who entered the palace with her was Jin Gong, who got up earlier than her, dressed up early and waited for her. Since Wen Yu left the palace and returned to the Princess Mansion, Jin Gong never entered the palace again. If it wasn’t for her being pregnant, Jin Gong would really be worried, and probably wouldn’t show up this time.
This kind of banquet should be arranged carefully, and there will be few troubles. But once something happens, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. In terms of familiarity with harem battles, few people can compare with Jin Gong.
How could Ye Ping refuse Jin Gong’s kindness?
The two entered the palace together and received countless attentions.
Some were curious about Ye Ping, and some were curious about Jin Gong.
They have one thing in common, that is, from the subtle to the obvious. One was once the daughter of a petty official with a very bad reputation. One came from a lower family background, and was originally just a slave. Now one is the Princess of the county, and the other is also a respectful person of high rank.
When the time came, everyone entered Zhaode Palace one by one.
Queen Gu’s phoenix robe and phoenix crown are shining with pearls and are luxurious and dignified. Underneath are the four concubines and eight concubines, all of whom are dressed in splendid attire and beauty. The ring is fat, the swallow is thin, and the age is also different. An adult with thousands of charms is also a young woman who has just inherited the rain and dew.
Concubine Wang Hui is among the four concubines, but she is the one with the bleakest demeanor. Even though she showed her identity everywhere in her clothes and make-up, her lack of confidence in her eyes had already put her at a disadvantage.
The Wang family has collapsed, and since her status has not been lowered, it cannot cover up her situation of falling out of favor and power. Fortunately, she still has the second prince, so she still has the bargaining chip to gain a foothold in the harem.
When the wives entered the palace one by one, she tried her best to control her emotions and not let her eyes reveal her resentment. However, no matter how hard she endured, she still couldn’t help but glance at Ye Ping.
With just one look, she hated it even more.
This princess of the county seems to be a bit more noble and calm than when she entered the palace last time.
She has been in the deep palace for many years, and knows the connection between the harem and the court better than anyone else. The Wang family fell so fast that she was caught off guard. She is not an ignorant woman, she knows that making the Wang family fall so quickly is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Almost at the first thought, she thought of the Prince Wen.
Except for that Prince Wen, who has such means.
When something happened to the Wang family, she didn’t dare to take any action, even if she knew that her parents and brothers were suffering, she didn’t dare to intercede in front of His Majesty. Before reaching the place of exile, my mother died of illness, and my brother was always ill. Even if they lived to the bitter cold and barren land of exile, how could they bear it.
Thinking of these, her heart was pierced day and night.
How difficult it is for a married woman whose natal family has lost power, let alone a concubine in the harem who has to rely on the support of her court cousins. Over the past few days, things on the surface seem to have not changed, but in private it has become heaven and earth. Without the support of her natal family, even if she has the second prince under her knees, she will inevitably be bullied and trampled down. Although His Majesty did not demote her status, nor reprimanded her, it was inevitable that she would fall out of favor.
A concubine who has fallen out of favor can only be slaughtered by others. It is better to fight to the death than to be slaughtered by others. When her dark eyes met Mrs. Wen, the cousins quickly looked away from each other.
The ladies were seated according to rank, and Ye Ping’s position was naturally at the front. Because she and the Jingong people belonged to the princess mansion, so the Jingong people sat with her. Originally, she was of the same rank as Princess Qingyang, and she was supposed to be with Wen’s daughter-in-law, but she was sitting opposite Princess Qingyang.
Princess Qingyang’s seat is with Princess Zhang, next to Mrs. Wen. In this way, she and Mrs. Wen were also sitting opposite each other. Coincidentally, her next seats were Mrs. Shen and Wen Ruqin, Mrs. Song and Ye Ting. With such an arrangement, anyone can see selfishness, so before she sat down, she bowed to Queen Gu, who was seated above, and said that she knew about this favor.
Smart people don’t need to talk too much, they already know each other well.
Queen Gu is willing to sell well, but she hopes that the other party will know and remember this. It was obvious that Ye Ping’s reaction made her very satisfied, and it was not in vain that she looked at the county princess differently.
The palace banquet started with singing and dancing, the sound of the piano was melodious and melodious, and the ladies in the palace danced gracefully. Amidst the intoxicating sound of singing and dancing, a series of royal meals were presented like flowing water.
The dishes are naturally cold, but they are exquisite and beautiful.
As for palace banquets, no one would rush for the purpose of eating. It is the limit to be able to move a chopstick on a dish. Some people even just slightly dipped the chopsticks and made a fake eating action.
Ye Ping won’t fake it, but she definitely won’t eat too much. When a dish of glutinous rice lotus root with sweet-scented osmanthus sauce came up, she was slightly surprised at first, and then glanced at Queen Gu with gratitude.
This dish is not her favorite, but the original owner’s favorite, so Queen Gu should have carefully inquired about her preferences. The other party valued her so much, so of course she had to be in awe.
“Queen Gu has a heart.” Jin Gong whispered.
“If you have the heart, don’t be afraid, but if you don’t have the heart.” Ye Ping’s lips moved slightly, and her voice was lower.
Jin Gong’s eyes showed admiration, and she liked Ye Ping even more.
This world is not afraid of those with a heart, but those who have no heart. Being able to understand such a truth at such a young age shows that the princess of the county is transparent in her heart, no wonder the prince of the county is interested.
The next dish was steamed white fish, as white as jade, topped with scallions cut as thin as hair. This fish is a tribute fish, the most delicious, and the most suitable for steaming. Ye Ping was looking forward to this dish, but she frowned when the fish was served in front of her.
The taste is wrong.
There is a fishy smell.
Even if the fish cooked by the imperial chef is cold, it should not have a fishy smell. Moreover, the fishy smell was quite weird, and it made her feel a little nauseous.
Since her pregnancy, although she has no obvious pregnancy reaction, her facial features have become extremely sharp.
“My lord, this fish doesn’t taste right.”
When Jin Gong heard this, his eyes changed slightly, but his demeanor was exactly the same. She seemed to lean slightly respectfully, as if she wanted to listen to what Ye Ping had to say, but in fact, she approached the fish and took a deep breath.
Soon, she and Ye Ping exchanged a look.
“…I can’t smell it.” Ye Ping made a gesture of wanting to vomit, and signaled the little maid who passed on the meal to take the fish away.
The little palace maid looked distressed, “The princess of the county doesn’t like this taste, so just keep it away. If the servants bring the dishes back, they will be punished by the maid in charge.”
Jin Gong didn’t look at the pitiful appearance of the little maid at all, and her voice was a bit sharp. “The concubine of the county is pregnant, so she can’t smell the fish, so hurry up and take the fish away.”
In this way, Queen Gu seemed to have noticed the movement here.
The little maid’s body shook uncontrollably, and she knelt on the ground in fright.
Just at this moment, the singing and dancing stopped, and everyone looked over. Empress Gu also noticed that a nun behind her came over at her behest.
“The concubine of the county is pregnant with a child, so she can’t smell the smell of fish.” While speaking, Jin Gong handed the fish to the nanny. The nanny frowned when she heard the word fishy.
This fish is the sweetest, and it won’t be fishy even after overnight.
They are all old people in the deep palace, even if they don’t need to make eye contact, a single sentence is enough. The nanny picked up the fish and sniffed it carefully, her expression changed instantly.
“I’m afraid that the fish lost its courage when it was not slaughtered, so go change it for a plate.”
It is absolutely impossible for the imperial chef to make such a low-level mistake, but such a statement is the most reassuring.
The little palace lady took the plate tremblingly, but before she got up, something happened. A white cat sprang out from nowhere, with its mouth open and screaming sharply, it rushed towards it.
After a scream of “ah”, the fish in the little maid’s hand was overturned. At the same time, the cat seemed to go crazy, and swallowed the fish in two mouthfuls.
Before everyone could react, it suddenly fell to the ground, dead.
“The holy cat died in vain, this… this is an ominous omen!”
I don’t know who shouted this sentence, it was like a thunder on the ground.
Empress Gu followed the sound and only saw the wives kneeling on the ground.
Ye Ping also knelt down, already having a guess in her heart. She looked to the opposite side, and happened to see the schadenfreude in Princess Qingyang’s eyes that had not yet dissipated.
Another white cat.
The same trick was used twice.
very good.
It was weird that a cat jumped out of the Qianqiu Banquet, but the weird thing was that the cat was still dead. On the surface, this matter was aimed at her, but in fact it was aimed at Queen Gu. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. If she could figure it out, Queen Gu could of course do it too.
“Empress, my wife heard that the holy cat is the most spiritual, and knows the evil spirit best. Whoever is blessed, the holy cat will get close, and whoever has evil, the holy cat will also alert the world.”
The last one is almost named Ye Ping.
Ye Ping recognized the lady who spoke, she was the second lady of Marquis Wu’an’s residence. After Wu Er Madam said this, she was glared at by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu Anhou.
The factions in Beijing and China seem to be distinct, but they are actually intertwined. The reason why the second Mrs. Wu came to Ye Ping was nothing more than the word interest.
Ye Ping will not be entangled with the position of the Marquis of Wu’an Mansion at this time, because that is something for later.
“This Mrs. Wu is very right. The holy cat has a spirit. It must have discovered that there was something wrong with the dish just now. It is reminding me and saving me with its own life. If it hadn’t been for it to save others, I would be safe and sound now ?”
“The concubine of the county is very right. The dish just now was indeed too fishy. This cat has a spiritual understanding and knows that the concubine of the county is the most kind person, so he gave it up.” Jin Gong agreed.
They sang together and turned the situation around.
If you are not a blessed person, how can you be saved by the holy cat?
Mrs. Wu Anhou let out a long sigh of relief, “That’s indeed the truth.”
In this way, the second daughter-in-law of her family who couldn’t cry was not wrong. As for what the second daughter-in-law was thinking, that was something they would discuss after the Lan family returned.
“These words are reasonable and unreasonable. Who knows whether this holy cat is saving people or blocking evil?” Princess Qingyang said suddenly, and the meaning of the target is self-evident.
Everyone has different ideas, and no one wants to confront Prince Zhang’s Mansion.
But there are some exceptions, such as Xuanping Hou’s Mansion, such as the General’s Mansion.
Mrs. Song said: “The princess’s words are wrong. The holy cat has a spirit. If it is really evil, there is no reason not to avoid it. In my opinion, it must be the princess of the county who is deeply blessed, so that the holy cat sacrifices herself to save others. ”
“This cat is so spiritual, and it appeared at the empress’s birthday banquet. It can be seen that the empress is the real Goddess of God, and it helped the princess of the county to escape this catastrophe.”
This is what Mrs. Shen said.
Empress Gu calmed down because of Mrs. Shen’s words, and just about to expose the matter, Princess Zhang spoke up.
“Empress, Yichenfu thinks this is quite strange. The real culprit must be found out, otherwise the same thing will happen again.”
At this moment, an extremely cold voice came from outside the hall.
“The king of this county is recognized as a man of evil, how will Princess Zhang deal with the king of this county!”
Ye Ping settled down, and subconsciously touched her stomach.
Baby, don’t be afraid.
Your father is the most powerful.
With your father around, no one can hurt your mother.
The author has something to say:
Babies, the update of the next chapter is still old time, see you at 6:00 tomorrow night.
