Chapter 537: Enter the palace for a banquet
Early the next morning, before the hour arrived, there was already an endless stream of carriages heading towards the palace.
The Queen Mother has not held a palace banquet for more than ten years, and this time she personally posted it, which is rare and lively.
However, everyone knows that the queen mother respects and humbles the number of courtesies, so the female dependents from each family are all in the main room, and the younger generations are only eligible to follow into the palace. Therefore, although there are many people invited, the palace can accommodate it.
Prince and Princess Jian helped the princess Mi's men get out of the carriage, and Jian Huixin also followed suit.
As soon as the three of them got off the car, there were female relatives who came to talk, and while talking, the carriage of Enhou's mansion also arrived, and Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning of the Ling family got off the car one after another with the support of the maidservant and stepped on the stool with graceful demeanor.
The princess and the Ning family had some friendship before because of their family affairs, and it was Jian Huixin who refused to marry, so the princess was affectionate to the Ning family, and when she saw the Ning family get out of the car, she greeted her.
"I heard that Zixun was injured, but it's better? Ming'er is a happy event, won't it be delayed?" After the greetings, Mi asked a little pretending to be close.
When the princess asked, the women who were close to her all looked sideways.
This Michaels is really brainless!
A trace of unhappiness flashed in Ning's eyes, and he said a word in his heart, but he smiled casually and reservedly: "It's not a big deal." β
The princess asked again: "What about Zixun, can you come today?"
Ning's heart was impatient, according to the usual palace banquet, because it was initiated by the Queen Mother, it has always been the female relatives who arrived first, and the Queen Mother visited the garden first, and the male guests were usually later, Mi Shi had nothing to say, and asked Ning's unhappy place in every sentence, Ning's was not happy, so he replied lightly, "I want to come, and his father later" and turned his head to talk to the fourth lady of the Ling family: "Little Seventeen has not arrived yet?"
The fourth room of the Ling family is the brother of Enhou Lingzhen's mother, and when she heard Ning's question, Mrs. Qiao of the fourth room smiled helplessly: "This girl went to look for Sihui early in the morning, and said that she wanted to come with Sihui, it should be almost there." β
Ning's question didn't really care, he just didn't want to talk to the princess anymore, and when he heard Qiao's words, he smiled.
This Jian Huixin saw Ning's impatience, stretched out her hand and pulled the princess, and smiled softly: "Mother, the Queen Mother is still waiting, let's go in first." β
The princess is no matter how sluggish she is, she also noticed a little, seeing that her mother-in-law, Prince Jane, had turned around without saying a word, she was not very comfortable, Jian Huixin's interjection just handed over the steps and saved a little face, although there are many female relatives who came today, but only they Prince Jian's mansion have this face and can go straight to Ci'an Palace to meet the Queen Mother first.
The princess maintained her face and nodded with a smile: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot that the Queen Mother is still waiting, let's go over there." You are not with you. β
The princess bowed slightly, and took Jian Huixin's hand and entered the palace gate.
In front of Prince Jane, Princess Jane had already gone to the special sedan chair in the palace, because of Princess Jane, so the princess and Jian Huixin also had a good ride, and the mother and daughter got on a double sedan chair.
As soon as she got on the sedan chair, the princess's face darkened, and her hands trembled with anger: "This Ning's! This Ning's ...... I'm kind enough to talk to herβ"
"Mother, don't pay attention to her. Jian Huixin knew clearly in her heart, she knew why the Ning family was not happy, but the Ning family did not give face to the princess like this in front of everyone, and Jian Huixin was also unhappy in her heart, seeing that the princess was still angry, Jian Huixin said in a low voice, "It's uncertain whether tomorrow's marriage can be successful?"
The princess was so shocked that she forgot to be angry: "How can this be?"
"What kind of mother is Ning Ximeng, I have also seen it, my mother thinks that Ling Fei's temperament can be willing to do this family business?" Jian Huixin hooked her lips and sneered indifferently, "These days, Enhou Mansion is closed to thank guests, it is estimated that it is making a fuss! β
"Then Ling Fei is also here today, and I'll know when the time comes. The princess was interested, and her heart was relieved at this moment, "No wonder I asked Ling Fei if she shook her face, this is not from her own belly, it is not so easy to handle it! I said that she really did it, and it is easy to marry a family like the Ning family, this is not from her own belly, it is really distressing!"
After saying two things, Jian Huixin glanced at the princess and did not speak.
"By the way, after today's palace banquet, the eldest princess should open the door to answer the post, do you think we should also hold a banquet?" β
Earlier, everyone in the royal capital knew that the eldest princess had recovered, but one was that the palace handed over a message not to disturb, and the other was that the eldest princess had never opened the door to welcome guests, but now this palace banquet is held, according to the convention, which means that the eldest princess has returned to the social circle of the royal capital, and she can open the door to accept guests, and she can also receive posts to go to the banquet.
Jian Hui lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: "Don't be in a hurry first, and then take a look." β
"What are you looking at?"
Let's not talk about the fact that the queen mother pressed the marriage certificate, it was the farce of escaping marriage in Yunzhou, the woman surnamed Shen obviously had cut off the way to enter the Mu family by herself, but she had the queen mother behind her, and the princess didn't understand what Jian Huixin else wanted to see.
The princess who asked all the way made Jian Huixin feel a little bored, and she opened the sedan curtain to look out, but she didn't hear the princess's question.
The princess reached out to pat Jian Huixin's hand, but before she could shoot it, Jian Huixin turned her head and said, "Mother, don't care, I know it in my heart." β
The princess's hand paused in the air, and she shrank back for a while, lowering her eyes to reveal a look of resentment.
Jian Huixin's eyebrows were almost invisible, frowning slightly, and she looked out of the curtain again, a little impetuous.
The princess asked her what she was looking at, and she couldn't and couldn't tell the princess.
Yunzhou's marriage failed to go on, which was a surprise to her.
But it is also difficult for her to achieve her goal, and it was a mistake for her to venture in front of the Queen Mother last time, and now she must be more careful and think in the long run.
The queen mother, the eldest princess, and her maternal grandfather, these three parties are all very important, but now although the queen mother is relieved, she is also a little wary of her, the eldest princess was on the side of the surname Shen earlier, and now her attitude is still unknown, and although her maternal grandfather sees Mu Qing in his eyes, he is obviously still waiting and waiting.
In addition to these three parties, the most important thing is Mu Qing's attitude.
Thinking of this, Jian Huixin couldn't help but feel excited.
As soon as Gu Qiu returned to the royal capital, she gave a detailed review of the situation of the day, and after listening carefully, she had great expectations in her heart.
The sedan chair soon stopped.
Prince Jian took the two of them to follow the palace people in, and as soon as they entered the main hall, they saw the eldest princess and Mu Qing sitting at the head of the queen mother.
The three ancestors and grandchildren stepped forward to salute, the queen mother waved her hand and said, "No courtesy", and Prince Jane still finished the etiquette before getting up.
"Changsheng, please sit down with your uncle and grandmother. The Queen Mother called Mu Qing.
