Chapter 186 Chapter 186(2/3)
When she was in glory, she was able to run amok and even the concubines in the harem didn't look down upon her. But at this moment, even the servants in the palace looked down upon her.
Ba Fujin clenched the handkerchief in his hand, trying to calm himself down, and finally his eyes glanced at an empty chair by the wall.
She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was not the most embarrassing situation, so she walked quickly towards the chair.
Seeing that she was going to sit on that chair, Shi Fujin suddenly thought of something and stood up suddenly with a "Oh!"
——The direction that Bafujin went after looking around was clearly the chair that she accidentally knocked over just now and had some cracked legs.
Shi Fujin subconsciously wanted to call her. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up and before he could speak, his arm was pulled by the person next to him.
"What do you want to do with her?" Jiu Fujin chuckled: "She looks like she deserves to sit in that chair and suffer."
After saying that, Jiu Fujin sneered again: "She was so cruel to both of us back then. She was so bossy, as if she was noble and we were despised. Now she finally has a taste of this."
Shifujin thought about it for a while, but finally did not say anything to stop it.
Bafujin stared at the gazes around him, finally walked to the chair and gently sat down. Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with the chair legs.
Fortunately, she had good manners and she only sat down lightly at first, but she didn't sit down completely. If she had sat down firmly, the legs of the chair might have broken immediately, and then the chair would tip over and she would fall down.
If she gets up...
She moved a little and found that the bottom of her skirt was caught somewhere on the chair. It must have been when the chair was "injured" that the seat was also cracked, but she couldn't find it at first glance.
Bafujin could not move easily, but it was difficult for her to ask for help at this time. After all, her situation was very embarrassing. It would be even more embarrassing if no one paid attention to her words.
Ba Fujin gritted her teeth, suppressed the pride in her heart, and began to look around, trying to let the female relatives around her notice her helplessness.
It's a pity that no one paid attention to her.
Jiu Fujin and Ten Fujin, who were usually close friends with her, were gathering together and whispering, looking at her from time to time, as if they were looking at her jokes.
As for Concubine Yi, she didn't look at her side at all, and she didn't know if her aunt was aware of her current embarrassing situation.
Bafujin was a little desperate.
The feeling of having her dignity trampled on hit her overwhelmingly. She began to tremble slightly because of the shame.
Just when she was so uncomfortable that she almost cried, with tears already rolling in her eyes, suddenly someone next to her asked warmly: "Can't you get up?"
Bafujin looked over blankly, unable to believe that someone would actually come to help, and said calmly: "...Yes. My skirt is caught."
"Let me help you get rid of the hook." The person lowered his head and started to check the chair.
Ba Fujin looked at her dark hair and dignified demeanor, and felt a little overwhelmed: "...Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law."
"You're welcome." Luo Jianing lowered her head and looked at the place where the chair and the skirt were in contact, carefully searching for the place where the hook was hooked. After finding it, she reached out and gently pulled off the hooked fabric: "Okay."
Because Bafujin didn't dare to sit firmly just now, his legs were stretched so hard that he could stabilize his body and prevent the chair from tilting.
Now she suddenly stood up, her legs went numb and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Si Fujin helped her up before she could stand up.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Four." She lowered her head and whispered apologetically.
Luo Jianing didn't notice this sentence.
When she saw that Ba Fujin had stood up, she called Anfu and Fulong: "Bring my chair over and let Ba Fujin sit on it first."
Then she called the two young eunuchs who were guarding the front: "Help me find a chair. This one can't be used. I don't have a chair to sit on."
After the two of them had a good fight, they hurried out of the house to get it done.
These two young eunuchs were Liang Jiugong's disciples. Looking at the Fujins attending the banquet, only the fourth Fujin could control them.
Jiu Fujin looked at Si Fujin with envy: "I am afraid this is the first time among our sisters-in-law that Princess Yong has received this honor." Even the crown princess back then did not necessarily have such magnanimity.
Shi Fujin didn't care: "Princess Yong deserves it. If you plan everything for your brothers and sisters like her, you can get it too. If you don't do it, don't be envious."
Jiu Fujin gritted his teeth and glanced sideways at Shi Fujin, and was so angry that he stopped talking to her.
Anfu and Fulong quickly brought the chairs.
There happened to be a small table next to it that no one wanted to sit on, so Luo Jianing asked Anfu and the others to move the small table over and put it aside for Ba Fujin to eat.
Ba Fujin looked at the ground with his eyes slightly lowered, and sighed softly: "In the past years, I disliked you the most. I thought you were very hypocritical and hypocritical."
Unexpectedly, it takes time to see people's hearts. After a long time, she suddenly realized that she was terribly wrong.
The person she thought was the best at the beginning actually lied to her and deceived her, and he was a wicked person.
And the person she hates the most has actually been misunderstood by her.
Luo Jianing didn't expect that her little help would actually arouse Bafujin's emotion.
She smiled and said, "My brothers and sisters think highly of me. I'm not as great as you think, but I'm not as vicious as you thought before."
After saying that, Luo Jianing nodded slightly towards Ba Fujin and turned around without any hesitation.
Ba Fujin stared blankly at the back of Si Fujin.
When he was left out in the cold before, Bafujin tried his best not to cry.
But now, sitting on the seat assigned to her by her fourth sister-in-law, she couldn't hold it back, her nose was sore, and her tears fell down.
Luo Jianing was about to return to her seat. After walking a few steps, she saw Honghui waving to her from a distance.
At this time, Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhen and Honghui had just arrived at the banquet, and they were whispering next to Emperor Kangxi's seat.
Honghui seemed to be in some trouble and kept gesturing towards her, wanting her to come over and have a look.
Luo Jianing turned around and walked over. After getting a little closer, she looked at Honghui and asked: What's going on? Why did you suddenly call me over?
Honghui glanced in the direction of Emperor Kangxi, indicating that the trouble they encountered was related to Emperor Kangxi.
It's just that it's not convenient to say it directly in front of Emperor Kangxi.
Luo Jianing then looked towards Yinzhen.
Yinzhen turned around and glared at his son, with an obvious meaning: Why did your mother-in-law get involved?
However, the Sifujins had already arrived anyway, so Yinzhen deliberately mentioned the matter again: "Huang Ama, you really can't drink today. The imperial doctor said that you need to take care of your illness and take care of it.
Only when you are healthy can you feel better. If you continue to drink alcohol, I am afraid it will not be good for your health."
Luo Jianing instantly understood what had just happened.
Obviously, Honghui saw that neither he nor Amma could persuade the emperor, so he simply called her, a mother-in-law, over to help with advice.
Now that there is no one else around, this matter can be discussed directly with Emperor Kangxi.
Luo Jia was blessed: "I have met Huang Ama." He then said: "Huang Ama looks very good today. Is it because she has not drank alcohol in the past few days?"
Yinzhen and Honghui were stunned when they heard this.
The two of them didn't know whether Emperor Kangxi had been drinking a few days ago, so they didn't know how to help.
Emperor Kangxi was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I have indeed not drank for several days. How do you know?"
Luo Jianing smiled and said: "I didn't know this in advance. I just heard from the imperial doctor that alcohol will damage the liver. If the liver is not good, the complexion will be bad. Now that Huang Ama looks very good, she guessed that Huang Ama has been doing this for a few days.
Maybe he didn’t drink alcohol."
In fact, she heard what Liang Jiugong said. Before they sat down at the table, they met and briefly talked about Emperor Kangxi's health condition, and casually mentioned that the emperor had not drank alcohol for several days for the sake of his health.
Thinking about the palace banquet at home today, the emperor was in a good mood and thought it would be okay to drink a few drinks, so Yinzhen and Honghui couldn't persuade him.
Now Emperor Kangxi became happy when he heard that he would "look much younger" if he didn't drink.
"Since wine is not harmful to the body, then you shouldn't drink it if you don't want to." He took the initiative to have the wine glass removed from the table and replaced it with a tea cup: "It is also my reason to use tea instead of wine today."
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Honghui secretly poked his mother and said silently: Princess Yong is indeed more powerful.
Luo Jianing gave her son a funny look.
Today, the male guests and the female family members sat separately. After finishing speaking here, Yinzhen walked towards the men's tables, preparing to meet with the fifth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother.
Deskmates.
Honghui headed towards the table next to Yinzhen and the others.
Luo Jianing returned to her table not far away, took a look, and saw a young man beside her table.
He is actually the brother of Zhang Tingyu's family.
As soon as Luo Jianing saw Zhang Ruoxing and Sister Chen sitting together, she immediately had one head and two heads.
Each of these two children is more serious than the other. When they are together, they are just like two teachers. It makes people feel scared when they see them.
Zhang Ruoxing followed his father Zhang Tingyu to the palace for a banquet today.
Now that the two elders of the Zhang family have passed away, the eldest brother Zhang Tingzhan is also gone, and only two brothers, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tinglu, remain in the family.
As the consort, Zhang Tinglu could naturally attend the palace banquet.
The Seventh Princess, her sibling, sympathized with her brother Zhang Tingyu who had to spend the New Year at home, and specifically asked the Queen Mother and the Emperor for grace to allow Zhang Tingyu to come to the palace to attend the family banquet.
——The relationship between Zhang Tingyu and his deceased wife Yao was very good. Since Yao's death, he has never renewed his relationship and only took in a few concubines.
Whenever festivals came, he would drink alone in front of the moon, often drunkenly mumbling the name of his deceased wife.
The seventh princess didn't want her brother to be like this on this festive day of the New Year, so she thought of a way to get him to come too.
