Chapter 61 Banquet
A few days later, the General's Mansion.
Feng Yang walked into Nangong Jinse's house.
"Miss, Concubine Xuan invites the Empress of the Palace and some noble young ladies because of the princess' marriage, and you are among them."
"when?"
"tonight."
"Okay, I understand. How is my grandmother's illness?"
"I've been bedridden, can the lady go and visit me?"
"If you don't go, she will feel even more uncomfortable."
"Then I'll go down first."
"Is that gift to the princess ready?"
"Well, everything is ready."
"Then you go down first."
Feng Yang retreated.
At dusk, Nangong Jinse and others walked out of the general's mansion and headed to the palace. Today, Concubine Xuan made a big deal, and all the children of the royal family and the children of officials above the fifth rank were coming.
Hao Lianyue immediately ran over happily when she saw Nangong Jinse.
"Jinse, you're here, look, this is my bun." Hao Lianyue said and pulled the thin rope on his hand.
I saw a round and fat puppy running over, twisting and twisting, which was very cute.
"How cute, right?" Hao Lianyue said with anticipation and confidence.
Nangong Jinse nodded and said, "Well, it's quite cute."
As he said that, Hao Lianyue pulled Nangong Jinse to sit down. At this time, an eunuch shouted: "The Empress is here, Concubine Xuan is here, Concubine Xian is here."
Everyone bowed and bowed.
Jiang Yihuan: "Today, everyone has fun, no need to worry. The pear blossoms in our courtyard are blooming just in time, so everyone can enjoy them."
Deng Ruoxue: "Looking at these young masters and ladies in their prime, I feel that I am old."
Wen Chunxue: "Sister, what are you talking about? You look as young as those ladies."
Several empresses kept talking and laughing, and everyone in the audience also looked at singing and dancing, drinking wine, and enjoying the pear blossoms with a comfortable look on their faces.
Nangong Jinse picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all. Such a party was extremely boring but she had to attend.
Jiang Yihuan turned his head and looked at Nangong Jinse with a smile and said, "Jinse, come to my side."
Nangong Jinse was a little surprised when he heard this, but then walked towards Jiang Yihuan with a calm face. He had never looked at Deng Ruoxue beside him, but Deng Ruoxue looked at Nangong Jinse with a smile, as if nothing happened that day had happened.
"My daughter has met Concubine Xuan."
Jiang Yihuan walked down the stage and came to Nangong Jinse, helped Nangong Jinse up, took Nangong Jinse's hand and sat next to him.
Everyone in the audience looked at Jiang Yihuan's every move. What kind of favor was that he actually asked Nangong Jinse to sit with her. Everyone couldn't help but guess what Jiang Yihuan wanted to do?
Although Hao Lianjing smiled faintly on his face, his eyes were full of shrewdness. Hao Lianhong looked at Jiang Yihuan with a puzzled look, but only Hao Lianxuan was calm as usual.
Jiang Yihuan looked at everyone and said, "Jinse has great kindness to me and the princess. If Jinse hadn't offered her plans that day, Yue'er would have been killed by the underworld."
Nangong Jinse said lightly: "Don't care about Concubine Xuan, that's what the ministers should do."
Jiang Yi laughed and said, "I know you are kind, but I will naturally repay you with kindness. Usually you and Yue'er and Che'er are very close. I guess your relationship should be good. Then Jinse, would you like to be a family with Yue'er Che'er?"
Everyone was shocked as soon as these words were made. They wondered whether Jiang Yihuan wanted Hao Lianche to marry Nangong Jinse as their wife. After all, Hao Lianche has no wives and concubines until now. The two are of the same age and have a good relationship. It seems that it is very likely that this is the case. Everyone thinks so in their hearts.
Deng Ruoxue, who was standing beside him, looked cold when she heard this. She was still thinking about what banquet Jiang Yihuan had and invited so many people. It turned out that she wanted to receive Nangong Jinse in front of so many people. Humph, Jiang Yihuan is really sinister.
Hao Lianhong was also shocked when he heard this, worried that Hao Lianche would really marry Nangong Jinse.
Hao Lianyue and Hao Lianche were happy when they heard this. They wished that Nangong Jinse would be closer to them.
Hao Lianjing's face closed his smile at this moment, and it was cold. He knew very well that he didn't want Nangong Jinse to marry Hao Lianche. Hao Lianxuan was the same. Just when Jiang Yihuan said that, he was already thinking about how to prevent Nangong Jinse from marrying Hao Lianche.
The fairy concubine, who had a gentle look on her face, looked at her son Hao Lianjing, but didn't think much about it. Although Nangong Jinse is indeed the best candidate for Princess Jing, Jing'er has been acquainted with Yan'er since she was a child, and the two of them are in love. I guess Jing'er is not interested in Nangong Jinse.
Nangong Jinse's thoughts were twists and turns, and she couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Yihuan meant? Could she want her to marry Hao Lianche? Or something else?
"The Queen Xuan's words made the minister frightened. I wonder what the Queen meant?" Nangong Jinse finally asked after a long time.
Jiang Yihuan smiled softly and said, "Look, I'm so nervous. I just want to accept you as my adopted daughter and be the sister of their two siblings. Are you willing?"
It turned out that it was just an adopted daughter, Hao Lianhong, Hao Lianjing and Hao Lianxuan were relieved. But Deng Ruoxue became even more angry. It was impossible to marry Nangong Jinse to Hao Lianche, but it was not certain that she would accept her adopted daughter.
In this way, Nangong Jinse not only has support, but also if Hao Lianche had the intention to seize power, Nangong Jinse would not stand by and watch. Jiang Yihuan is really scheming!
Hao Lianyue and Hao Lianche were excited when they heard this. Hao Lianyue thought that this would be even better with Jinse. She had promised Li Jin to take good care of Jinse. Her mother took her as her adopted daughter and was her sister. This kind of relationship was really good, but it was not too good.
Hao Lianche thought to himself that after Jinse becomes his sister, she will be willing to teach him everything. It's great.
Nangong Jinse didn't expect Jiang Yihuan to do this, but although Hao Lianche and Hao Lianyue were pure and kind-hearted and did not have so many plans, she still didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family.
"The queen forgives her sins, and I'm afraid my daughter cannot afford to do so."
When Hao Lianyue heard this, she rushed over and pulled Nangong Jinse's arm and said, "Jinse, don't refuse. It's good to be my sister. My mother will love us very much. Although my brother is sometimes very bad, he is still very good to me. He will treat you very well when you come."
Nangong Jinse didn't know how to answer. If he told him bluntly that he would not have any involvement with the royal family, he might have hurt Hao Lianyue's heart, but he could not think of any reason to refuse.
Hao Lianyue continued to say with great thoughts: "General Nangong Hao and his wife have gone. You are alone and not favored by the General's Mansion. It is because you are alone and they will bully you unscrupulously. I still remember the last time I went to your mansion. They were obviously a group of people who wanted to plot against you. In the future, no one dared to bully you."
Nangong Jinse didn't expect Hao Lianyue to say these words, which made her a little embarrassed.
And in the eyes of others, I felt that Nangong Jinse's life was so miserable, especially when Hao Lianxuan heard Hao Lianyue's words, his face suddenly turned dark, and he wanted to kill all the people who bullied Nangong Jinse immediately.
Jiang Yihuan: "Yue'er is right. It's not easy for you to be alone. From now on, I will treat them as brothers and sisters."
Nangong Jinse was speechless, probably treating her as her sister and younger brother.
"How is it? Jinse! Do you agree?" Hao Lianyue looked at Nangong Jinse with big eyes and expectantly.
Nangong Jinse hesitated and finally agreed.
"That's the daughter who promised."
Hearing this, Jiang Yihuan's smile even more.
Hao Lianyue said happily: "Then let Jinse stay in the palace for two days and send Yue'er to get married."
Jiang Yihuan said without hesitation: "Okay, Jinse, you can stay for two days."
Nangong Jinse thought that he had agreed to be his adopted daughter, and it didn't matter if he stayed for two days, so he nodded and agreed.
"In the future, the ministers can regard the princess and King Che as relatives, but the ministers cannot change the title of the queen."
"Okay, it's just a title, I don't care."
Deng Ruoxue looked at the smiles on the faces of the people, and hatred gradually arose in his heart. Why didn’t he think of this method at the beginning? It was so annoying.
Jiang Yihuan looked at everyone and said, "I will not participate in your game anymore. You young masters and young women have your own way of playing."
After saying that, Jiang Yihuan got up and prepared to leave. Deng Ruoxue and Wen Chunxue also got up and prepared to leave.
After the empresses left, everyone did let go a lot, drinking, chatting, and enjoying flowers.
Hao Lianyue pulled Nangong Jinse and led the buns to walk in the palace, away from the lively crowd.
Somehow, Hao Lianxuan actually came over.
"I've seen King Xuan."
"Brother of the Emperor."
"Get up."
Since Hao Lianxuan took action to help Hao Lianyue in the last hunting ground, Hao Lianyue has changed her mind about this emperor. Maybe he is not as cold as he looks.
The three of them walked together without saying a word.
"You are not doing well in the General's Mansion?" Hao Lianxuan asked coldly after a while.
Hao Lianyue rushed to answer: "That's right? Last time I went to the General's Mansion, those people wanted to deal with Jinse. When I was there, I was so arrogant. If I were not here, I wouldn't go to heaven."
Nangong Jinse looked helpless.
Hao Lianxuan looked at Nangong Jinse and asked, "Is that true?"
Nangong Jinse: "Ahem, that's not that serious either."
Hao Lianxuan: "Next time they dare to bully you, just tell me."
Nangong Jinse: "No next time."
After hearing this, Hao Lianxuan knew what he said and didn't say much, but Hao Lianyue obviously couldn't understand.
"Since that's the case, I'll go home first."
After saying that, Hao Lianxuan turned around and left. He came here specifically, just to ask about her situation in the General's Mansion. Since it was okay, he didn't have to worry.
Hao Lianyue looked at Hao Lianxuan's departure and said quietly: "Brother is so special to you."
"Why do you say that?"
"The emperor's past had a cold and distant tone in front of anyone, but I didn't feel this way in front of you. Instead, I still had concern."
Nangong Jinse smiled faintly and stopped talking.
Chapter completed!
