Chapter 472: Going to the Banquet
The next day, Princess Qi ordered someone to send an invitation to the prince's mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The banquet was set up two days later.
The crown princess looked at the invitation and couldn't help pouting: "This Gu family likes to set up banquets to show off the most." When she was in the boudoir, she often held banquets and invited a bunch of Beijing ladies to come to the door. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything has to be compared with each other. She was out of the limelight, and she didn't want to think about how those who were often crushed by her felt about it. ā
Gu Wanning glanced at the angry princess and asked implicitly, "Did the concubine often go to banquets back then?"
The crown princess didn't pay attention, and rushed out: "I've been there a few times, but then I didn't want to go." ā
Gu Wanning couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips with a smile.
Why not be happy to go?
Obviously, the crown princess is the one who is often crushed. It's no wonder that Princess Qi has never looked down on the crown princess......
The crown princess also reacted at this time, and coughed a little wryly: "That's it, these are all old things." It's not interesting to talk about it now. Two days later, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will go to the banquet together. ā
After thinking about it, he said: "When the time comes, bring Hengyang with you!"
The county lord of Hengyang is fifteen years old this year, and he has also reached the age when he should go out of the mansion and walk around.
As for the county lord of Yiyang, the crown princess never thought about it at all. As soon as Concubine Yu died, the prince's mind shifted to other beauties, and the county lord of Yiyang, Danyang, was far less favored than in the past.
Gu Wanning responded with a smile.
Thinking of Wang Min's pregnancy, Gu Wanning had to remind one or two sentences: "If you go to the banquet the day after tomorrow, if you don't see Wang Min, don't ask more about the concubine." ā
The crown princess is not very sensitive to politics, but she understands the trivial matters of the inner house, and reacts almost immediately: "Could it be that Wang Min is already pregnant?"
Gu Guanning nodded.
The crown princess's tone suddenly became a little sour: "Wang Min has only been in the door for a few months, and she is happy." It's fast enough. ā
In case Wang Min became a man in one fell swoop, his status in Emperor Yuanyou's heart would be different immediately.
Gu Wanning tugged at the corners of his lips and didn't speak.
The crown princess immediately said: "Don't be careful, I just sighed casually, and I don't mean anything else." ā
Pregnancy is a matter of fate, and you can't be in a hurry. What's more, Gu Guanning married his grandson Chongxi that day, but he hasn't been able to get married yet, and he hasn't been able to round the house. It's impossible to talk about being pregnant.
Such a comparison is too unfair for Gu Wanning.
Gu Wanning smiled faintly: "I know that the mother concubine has no other intentions. ā
At most, it's just pantothenic acid in my heart.
The crown princess couldn't help but be secretly annoyed. How can every sentence be said inappropriately today!
The crown princess changed the topic a little stiffly: "I'm going to a banquet in two days, and let the people in the embroidery room make a few new clothes for you." I still have a few sets of gemstone heads that have just been made this year, you can pick two sets of desirable ones and keep them to wear the day after tomorrow. ā
Gu Guanning's dowry is more generous than that of the crown princess, and she will not covet two sets of head and face jewelry. However, this was the princess's intention, but it was inconvenient to refuse, so she responded with a smile.
The crown princess breathed a sigh of relief.
ā¦ā¦
Two days later, Gu Guanning and the crown princess went to the Qi Palace's mansion for a banquet.
When Gu Wanning was young, he often went in and out of the Qi Palace, and he was very familiar with every grass and tree here.
This was the first time she had been there since she was reborn.
Revisiting the old place, it was inevitable that there would be a little sigh in his heart, and Gu Wanning was naturally a little more silent than usual.
Princess Qi invited today, in addition to a few concubines, there are also a few county lords who are a little older. are all female dependents, and when they come together, it is quite lively.
The county lord of Gaoyang also came to the banquet. When he saw Gu Wanning, he immediately snorted to show his disdain.
Gu Wanning was too lazy to take care of her, and he didn't even pick an eyelid.
The county lord of Gaoyang was so angry that he almost rushed out to compete with Gu Wanning. Queen Wang's stern advice came to mind in time: "...... When you see Gu Guanning in the future, you should treat it as if you didn't see it. It is impossible to regenerate the incident. Otherwise, I won't be the first to spare you. ā
The county lord of Gaoyang swallowed back the words that came to his lips in a stupid manner.
The crown princess was busy chatting with Princess Qi, Princess Wei, and Princess Han, and she didn't notice Gu Wanning's strange silence.
The county lord of Hengyang was quite careful, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, if you are bored here, how about I accompany you out for a walk?"
Gu Wanning came back to his senses and smiled at the county lord of Hengyang: "No need." ā
She didn't want to come to the Qi Palace, and she didn't have the interest to wander around the Qi Palace.
The county lord of Hengyang was a little in awe of this eldest sister-in-law, and he didn't say much when he heard it. He turned his head again and began to greet the other county lords.
Princess Qi was smiling today, quite proud.
Princess Han swept her eyes and asked with a smile: "It's strange, the three emperors' sisters-in-law held a banquet today, why don't you see the Wang family?"
These words can be regarded as scratching the itch of Princess Qi.
Today's banquet is a small gathering before parting, and it is not without the meaning of showing off. Although the fetal phase is not stable, it is not appropriate to make a noise. But I will leave Beijing in a few days, and if I don't take advantage of this time to show off, I won't have a chance in the future.
"The Wang family has been unwell these days and needs to recuperate on the couch, so I can't come out to see you today. Princess Qi pretended to be indifferent, but the joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows couldn't be suppressed.
The crown princess, who knew the inside story, couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart.
Princess Han is also a clever person, and she reacted almost immediately, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that the Wang family is happy?"
Princess Wei immediately smiled and said, "Then I really want to congratulate the third emperor's sister-in-law." ā
Princess Qi's eyes flashed with pride, but she said, "The time is still short, and I don't dare to be sure." Don't preach it. If not, the Wang family will be overjoyed. ā
There were many clever people among the several county lords, and someone immediately said with a smile: "Since there is a imperial doctor to see the pulse, naturally it will not be empty joy." ā
"It's a great event. After a while, when the fetus is stable, it should be reported to the imperial grandfather and grandmother. The imperial grandfather and grandmother must have been very happy. ā
"Yes, the child in the womb of the imperial sister-in-law is the first person of the great-grandchildren!"
As they spoke, everyone looked at Gu Wanning intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Wanning's expression was as usual, with a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, and he didn't feel any sense of loss.
The county lord of Gaoyang thought that he had seized the opportunity, and deliberately smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the Gu family entered the door earlier. It's a pity that I couldn't have a round room, and the pregnancy will be postponed. ā
A trace of gloom flashed on the crown princess's face, and she was about to open her mouth, when she heard Gu Guanning say lightly: "I haven't reached the end yet, so I can't round the house." You can't get pregnant. Sister Lobby has been married for nearly two years, and she has a good relationship with the county horse, but she has not been pregnant for a long time, which makes people anxious for the county lord. ā
Lord of Gaoyang: "......"
