Chapter 190 Small talk
Today's banquet has several adult brothers present. Huilan observed around and found that the eldest prince is generous and fair, upright and friendly, very lovable, and the younger brothers and sisters are very friendly and approachable to her.
.
The second princess wore a bright red gold-woven high-waisted skirt with a long placket of the same color with large sleeves, and her makeup was very luxurious and graceful.
Glancing at Huilan, she tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Why didn't the Crown Princess come today? You did."
The words were spoken in honorific terms, but the attitude was indeed full of contempt, as if we were the legitimate wives, and it would be inappropriate for you, a concubine, to join us.
Huilan said calmly, "The Crown Princess is feeling a little unwell, so she specially sent me to attend the Princess's banquet, asking me to accompany her on her behalf."
The eldest princess waved her hands hurriedly and nodded with a smile, "It doesn't matter. I just want to find a way for us girls to get together. I feel bored sitting in the house all day."
"That's true. It's a hot day today and there's nowhere else to go. We girls can talk and play for a while to pass the time."
The speaker was the concubine of the fourth prince who was wearing a royal blue embroidered high-waisted skirt. The fourth prince was really ill, and she was not pretending to shirk it.
"Yes, let's play horse-drawing later. Sister Ding, do you know how to play? Come and play with us."
The fifth princess also took the initiative to chat with her.
"I know a little bit. I can play pretty well. Do you want to play for money? I have brought enough. Don't worry, my brand will be good."
"Really, we had to meet each other for a while, and he even boasted about himself so brazenly that I will definitely beat you to a pulp."
The fourth concubine also rolled up her sleeves and joked with an unconvinced expression.
"No, I will definitely kill everyone. Don't cry when I win."
Huilan looked arrogant and indifferent.
"Bah! Who's crying? You're looking down on people."
The fifth daughter-in-law was also very happy. This Ding Liangdi was a bit interesting. She didn't seem shy or embarrassed to hide when she was uneasy about the cards. Instead, she was very courageous. She said, "I don't care what you think of me, but you must give me face."
Of course.
Don't tell me that even if they really don't like her, they can't let her down. After all, she is the prince's concubine, which is extraordinary.
With this interruption, the second princess couldn't get a word in at all.
"I came back today for the first time, and I brought a small gift to the princess. Five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is still useful in maintaining the body. Princess, please don't think I'm vulgar."
This is a sure-fire gift, and it has been approved by Li Chengze. It is impossible for her to just give her medicine to others. She is willing to give it to others, but others may not dare to take it.
"You are so cunning, little girl. I heard that your rheumatism patch is very good. I specifically asked the Queen Mother about it. Why don't you give me some?"
The eldest princess took the initiative to ask for it. The eldest prince had rheumatism.
Huilan blushed and smiled, "I'm embarrassed to show off. There are so many talented people in the hospital, how can I compare to them? If the princess doesn't dislike it, I'll have someone bring it to you later."
If you have rheumatism, it is hot this season, so it is best to treat rheumatism. I also have medicated bath ointment, which I will send to you. If you try it, let me know and I will send it to you."
"Okay, I have long heard that your things are good, and I have sent you some good things. My sister-in-law is accepting your favor, she is my sister-in-law, so you don't need to be so cautious."
Obviously, the eldest princess is more upright and straightforward.
"good."
Huilan also liked this sister-in-law quite a lot. If the princess had such a character, she would naturally be willing to respect her, but it was a pity that there was no such thing as if.
The meal was served soon. Everyone talked about women's clothing, jewelry, aromatherapy and other elegant matters. Huilan could answer the questions very well, which made several other concubines look at her with admiration. No wonder she is favored by the prince. She has two brushes.
.
The drinks in the Grand Palace are also very good. They are all aged delicacies. Huilan also drank a few drinks. The dishes are well prepared with meat and vegetables, which is very suitable for the taste of a lady. I have to say that the Princess has both her demeanor and her ability to treat people.
The level is very good.
Li Chengze and the eldest prince's brothers had a good time drinking and chatting. He rarely put on airs in front of his brothers. He was the younger among the brothers, so he happily accepted the title of sixth brother. He was not too big or too young during the banquet.
Even I clinked glasses with the Second Prince, but they communicated less, and there was always a vague feeling of alienation, but I got along well with the other brothers.
But when you go to court, you still have to fight for it. There is nothing you can do about it. The prince doesn't want that position, so it's not surprising.
After the banquet was over, the eldest princess sat down to talk to the prince after washing up: "That Ding is very talented, and is very good at dealing with people. She is a really smart person. During the banquet, the second daughter-in-law deliberately choked her several times.
She cleverly avoided him, not only taking a step back without hurting my own face, but it also made the second daughter-in-law a bit embarrassed."
"Lao Liu gave me two bottles of medicine. Do you want me to try it?"
The great prince looked at the two bottles of medicine in front of him.
"Try it, if he dares to give it, he won't poison it, otherwise it will be impossible to escape the relationship, and it is a gift given openly, and the things recorded in the file can be verified.
This shows that he has no evil intentions. In fact, the sixth child is a person who values friendship and his methods are bright. If I really have to choose him, I would rather choose him for that position. He is much better than the second child."
The eldest princess sneered, disdainful of the second child's behavior.
"Why don't I know that there are some things that we can't do without you and me? To be honest, the sixth son never harmed me when he became the prince. Instead, he gave me some opportunities to accommodate my brothers. If the second son takes that position, I'm afraid it will be our brothers.
You have to prepare the coffin in advance."
"Who says it's not? I asked you for some medicated patches and medicated bath ointment. The Queen Mother said that Ding's products are particularly useful. You should try them too. You won't be afraid of external use."
"Okay, let me try."
After careful consideration, the eldest brother decided to trust his brother. He opened the medicine bottle, poured out a pill and smelled it. The eldest princess also came over, smelled it and said, "It smells so refreshing, it smells like good medicine."
"
"Well, I had it checked by the government doctor before and he said there was nothing wrong with it."
"Then you eat it, maybe it can cure your injury. I think it's Lao Liu who wants to combine the power of you and Third Brother. After all, you have had a good relationship since childhood. Maybe he can realize your dream, maybe we can
We’ve disembarked.”
Since there is no such intention, what is there to stir up in this muddy water? Will the royal men still lack wealth and power? There is no shortage.
"You're right. Maybe I should make a decision. I can't swing between two sides forever. For the sake of you and the people in this house, I should think carefully."
It didn't matter whether he was the emperor or not. There were hundreds of people in the house, and he couldn't afford to risk his life if he failed.
The eldest prince took the medicine and took his wife to sleep.
"What to do on the other end?"
"It's cool, do you think I don't know that I'm holding back my anger? In fact, my father loves me the most, and Lin Mei is the one in his heart.
