    Concubine Xian was dissatisfied when she saw Hua Liuli, but thought that the other party would not be her own daughter-in-law anyway, her mentality calmed down again.

    She smiled and greeted Hua Liuli to take her seat. There were not many female family members present, except for a few royal princesses and princesses.

    In Meilin, there were still a few Chinese servants chanting poems and paintings. Hua Liuli glanced at the snowflakes floating in the air and held the warming stove tighter. It's not easy for the princes in the capital to write and paint in such a cold day.

    "Niang Niang, your majesty went to the big camp on the outskirts of Beijing today. Although I can't come back now, I have sent someone to give you a lot of things." Concubine Xian's personal court lady bowed her head and whispered in her ear, "King Ning and The fifth prince replied, saying that he would come in a while."

    Concubine Xian nodded slightly, indicating that she knew. She looked at Hua Liuli, who was sitting not far away, and frowned slightly.

    No matter if Hao'er is not here, the girl from the Hua family looks quite pretty. If Hao'er falls in love with her and wants to marry him as the princess, it will be troublesome.

    Before Hua Liuli was filled with melon and fruit tea, she took a sip from the teacup, and the melon and fruit dessert on the table remained unchanged.

    "The county owner, but the dim sum doesn't suit your appetite?" After the second princess sitting next to Hua Liuli noticed, she looked at her with concern, "If you don't like it, let the cook make something for you."

    Her biological mother died early and she had no brothers of a mother. Because she was raised by the concubine for two years when she was a child, she deliberately showed her closeness to the concubine and the king of England, so as not to make others feel that she was weak.

    She greeted Hua Liuli and also represented the attitude of the concubine Xian.

    "The refreshments are very good, but the ministers are weak and sick, so it is not suitable to drink tea, nor to indulge the appetite." Hua Liuli smiled: "Thank you princess for your kindness."

    The second princess did not expect that Hua Liuli's body was so bad. She regretted that her parents and brothers were all valiant generations, and her appearance was outstanding, but her body was so bad that she was not suitable for being a princess.

    "I heard that the Hua family is brave and good at fighting, with one enemy and a hundred. How could the head of Hua County be so weak?" A girl in the Xia Se palace dress asked with a grin, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her words.

    "This is Princess Jiamin, the youngest daughter of Princess Shun'an. She has a straightforward personality and no malicious words. Please don't take it seriously." The second princess was afraid of Hua Liuli's inertia and quickly explained a few words. This daughter is extremely affectionate, allowing her to develop a heartless temper, sometimes speaking hurtful without knowing it.

    They are all royal relatives, and the other party is unintentional. Even if they hear things that are not pleasant, they pretend not to hear them.

    "Thank you for the princess's compliment to the courtier's family." Hua Liuli pretended to smile firmly. "In the year the courtier was born, a team of thieves pretended to be merchants and mixed into the city. After her mother noticed this, she worried that these thieves would harm the city. The people exposed their conspiracy."

    Speaking of this, Hua Liuli's eyes were red, and she was eager to cry: "Fortunately, my mother found out so early that the people escaped. But at that time, her mother was pregnant with Liujia. After stopping the thief, she became pregnant and gave birth to me. She suffered so much pain and torment, almost because it was difficult to give birth to one body and two lives."

    "I dragged down my mother while still in my mother's womb. It's really unfilial. If the people suffer because of this, I will be a guilty person before I was born." Speaking of this, Hua Liuli almost couldn't breathe because of excessive sadness, covering her chest. .

    "The county magistrate, the doctor has said long ago that you must not be emotional. Madam does not mean to blame you, please take care of your body." Iris took out a small medicine bottle, took two pills, and fed them into the mouth of Hualiuli, gently Patting her chest for Hua Liuli.

    "You, you..." Princess Jiamin was frightened by Hua Liuli's sickness, and it took him a long time to complain, "I didn't say anything. Who would you show me like this?"

    "The princess is right, it is all my fault." Hua Liuli leaned against Iris, her voice extremely weak.

    The straight-tempered princess Jiamin felt aggrieved for the first time. When she heard the other party saying "the princess was right, it was all my fault", her heart became even more nameless and she had nothing to say. Say.

    "Jiamin, the wife of the general does not let her beards and eyebrows, and she has made great contributions to guarding my Dajin people. You are too rude to say so." Concubine Xian said with a calm face, "You are the daughter of Princess Shun'an. You shouldn't be teaching you. But as the princess of Dajin, you should understand what you shouldn't say even if you don't hold back."

    Not to mention that it was the fault of Princess Jiamin today, even if it wasn't, she would still be on the side of the Hua family. Otherwise, tomorrow there will be a rumor that "The Concubine Xian's wife took General Hua's daughter into the palace for desperate bullying".

    "Please don't blame County Master Jiamin. She is right. The courtier is indeed the most useless descendant of the Hua family." Hua Liuli raised her head and showed a weak but strong smile. "Fortunately, my father, brother and mother treat me extremely Well, they did not dislike them because they were weak. They were the pride of the ministers to protect their families and the country for Dajin."

    Yes, a large family of people is defending their homes and the country, and even the fetus in the belly is delivered prematurely because of the protection of the people. Now there are people who come to ask this premature baby, why are your family so capable, so you are dragging their feet?

    How wicked and heartless is it to say such a thing?

    Everyone here looked at County Master Jiamin with a strange look. After hearing about this, the noble sons who were reciting poems in Meilin couldn't help but feel a little distressed for the delicate and kind-hearted County Master.

    Princess Jiamin was so frustrated that she almost vomited blood. In the past, she was outspoken. If others care about her, others will only think that the popularity is small. Today, the head of Hua County clearly said "Don't blame her." Why does she feel that she has suffered a lot?

    The more she thought about it, the more angry she got, she pushed the tea on the table, got up and walked towards Merlin.

    This action undoubtedly lost the face of Concubine Xian. She did not show her face, and said lightly: "Jiamin is older, and her temper is much stronger than when she was a child."

    Hua Liuli smiled and said nothing. She likes to have friendly language exchanges with girls who are straight-hearted and not at all malicious.

    "Niang Niang, King Ning and the fifth prince are here."

    When this atmosphere was awkward, the arrival of King Ning and the Five Princes was a timely rain.

    King Ning was slightly fat, and his smile was a little honest. Compared with him, the prince standing next to him is the bright moon in the sky and the treasure in the stone. Standing at will, he makes a painting of its own.

    Hua Liuli felt that the eyes of all the girls in the audience lit up, including those who were married as women.

    The fifth prince didn't seem to notice the gazes of the female relatives. He walked up to Hua Liuli and arched his hand at her gracefully: "This is General Hua's daughter, right?"

    Hua Liuli helped Iris to stand up, and said in reply: "The courtier has seen His Royal Highness Ning, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

    "No need to be polite." King Ning walked over and said to the concubine with a smile, "Concubine, concubine, there are talented men and beautiful ladies today, you have to make the banquet richer."

    "Knowing that you like food, I've already prepared it for you." Concubine Xian said and laughed, and asked the palace attendant to prepare the banquet.

    The banquet is placed in the warm pavilion upstairs, which can enjoy the scenery without being frozen. Concubine Xian was afraid that Hua Liuli would be ill if she was blown by the wind, so she specially arranged a leeward position for her.

    The dishes made by the chef in the palace are exquisite, and the names he chooses are exquisite and poetic.

    "This bottle of plum wine is also known as Zhanluxiang. It is made from the snow on the stamens of plum blossoms. It has a fragrance but is not intoxicating." After introducing the wine, the concubine said to the court lady, "The lord of the flower county should not drink too much. , Bring me the Linglong Luminous Cup from the palace."

    "The Linglong cup is a tribute from a small country envoy. It is not only exquisite in workmanship, but also has a miraculous hangover effect." Concubine Xian smiled to Hua Liuli, "You are weak, just taste the taste."

    "Thank you, Niang Niang." Hua Liuli watched the palace maid change a new glass for herself, and then poured a half glass of wine into it. She picked up the wine glass and smelled a light plum fragrance.

    "Taste it." Concubine Xian is still very confident in the plum wine brewed by herself, and even her Majesty is full of praise.

    Hua Liuli had just picked up the wine glass, and several eunuchs carrying boxes came towards this side. Not knowing the identity of these eunuchs, she noticed the smile on Concubine Xian's face. After these eunuchs appeared, she faded away.

    "Meet the concubine divine concubine and all the nobles." The leading eunuch saluted the concubine divinely: "The slave servant waits for the order of the prince to deliver something to the head of Hua County."

    Hua Liuli raised her eyebrows, looking for her?

    She put the wine glass in her hand aside and looked at the eunuchs who were saluting to herself: "My father-in-law, is this?"

    "The county lord, servants, etc. are palace slaves who served in Eastern Palace. His Royal Highness has always admired the heroic and extraordinary general protector of the country. When he learned that the county owner came to the palace to enjoy plum blossoms today, he specially asked the servants and other servants to present the meeting ceremony." Eastern Palace The eunuchs seem to have forgotten that this is the home of the concubine, and generously handed the gift list and a few boxes of gifts to Hua Liuli's attendant. "His Royal Highness also said that if someone deliberately embarrassed you, even if someone deliberately embarrassed you, please send someone to find him. , He helps you vent your anger." The leading eunuch said, "Yaxing, who dare not disturb the nobles' meals, leave the servants."

    If other men give gifts to a woman who has not left the cabinet, others will definitely think that he has a man and woman heart for this woman, but if it is the prince who is doing this, you will not have such a guess.

    Because the prince is not a normal man.

    They even suspected that the prince deliberately sent someone to bring things over at this time, and said that he wanted to help the head of the county of Hua, because he was deliberately blocking the concubine.

    "My father-in-law, please convey the little girl's gratitude to the prince." Hua Liuli pretended not to know the contradictions between the princes, and thanked them earnestly.

    If the concubine who gave birth to the eldest son is not the birth mother of the prince, disharmony is the eternal rule.

    A cold wind blew outside the window, and a few plum blossoms floated into the warm pavilion, swirling in the air, and fell into the luminous cup in front of Hua Liuli.

    Then she saw that the white plum petals had turned into an ugly brown-green in the wine.

    Oh, let me go, the wine is poisonous!
