Chapter 229: Palace Banquet
Yu Wenhong said that he wanted to hold a family banquet, and Jiang Yu naturally put it in a decent place. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info from the table, furnishings and tableware are all exquisite, Jiang Yu even very generously contributed several sets of extremely good-looking plum green glazed dishes hidden in the warehouse.
There was no case at the palace banquet where any King of Qin or the King of the County refused to attend and openly argued with Yuwenhong, which made Jiang Yu, who wanted to see Yuwenhong's liveliness, very disappointed.
This palace banquet is naturally not invited by all the clan relatives, Yuwenhong's brothers, King Lin, King Qi, King Qinghe, and Yuwenhong's pro-emperor Shu Ning Wang, as well as a few little transparent imperial uncles plus the eldest princess of Xunyang and the eldest princess of Shoushan, and the rest are the Empress Dowager Cui and their harem palace concubines.
This kind of banquet is set up separately, and the soup has its own bowl lid. The order of the general banquet is that the emperor golden dragon table is placed in the middle of the Taihe Palace in the south and north, the queen mother Cui banquet table is placed in the west seat on the left side, and the queen queen banquet table is placed in the east seat on the right side. Under the horizon, the banquet tables for the rest of the palace concubines in the inner court were lined up, and then the banquet tables of the clan relatives were arranged horizontally.
Jiang Yu naturally put it like this, but when the banquet was held, Yu Wenhong let Jiang Yu sit on the right side of the emperor and belonged to the queen, and ordered the queen to sit under the Empress Dowager Cui, which really made the queen angry. Concubine, you sit in the position of the palace and serve the emperor well for the palace. ”
But after saying this, the queen looked at Jiang Yu fiercely from the beginning to the end of the banquet, Jiang Yu believed that if the murderous aura of her eyes could kill, Jiang Yu must have died several times.
Jiang Yu didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Yes, the concubine must do her best to serve the emperor." Then it was the queen's gnashing of teeth.
There were no big waves at the banquet, just a few small episodes.
For example, when the Empress Dowager Cui, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was helped in by Aunt Liang, she saw Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu stepped forward very respectfully to greet her, but the Empress Dowager Cui stared at Jiang Yu with extremely cold eyes, and said in a very gloomy tone: "The concubine is becoming more and more difficult to invite now, and the mourning family asked the concubine to come to Jing'an Palace several times to talk to the mourning family, but she didn't move." ”
Jiang Yu smiled and said very humbly: "Where is the Queen Mother, where is the Queen Mother's will, where do the concubines dare to disobey, but the Queen Mother is recuperating from illness, and the concubines are afraid that they will disturb the Queen Mother's recuperation." Although the concubines did not go to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, they chanted and prayed for the Queen Mother in front of the Buddha every day, praying for the Queen Mother's early well-being. Now that she sees the queen mother recovering, the concubine really feels that it is not in vain for the concubine to pray every day. ”
Empress Dowager Cui snorted coldly, didn't say anything to Jiang Yu again, and turned around to talk to her own son.
Then followed by Empress Dowager Cui came in and listened to them all the time, after Empress Dowager Cui left, he came forward to greet Jiang Yu, and then looked at Jiang Yu a few times in surprise, and then said with a very kind and gentle attitude: "I haven't seen Niangniang for many years, and the change in Niangniang's temperament is quite impressive. However, seeing this change in your mother's temperament, your mother will be much less worried. ”
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, did she have such a good relationship with him? In her impression, she didn't seem to have a deep friendship with this Uncle Ning Huang.
Jiang Yu remembered that he had no friendship with this Emperor Ning, but he didn't know if Meng Yuyu had a relationship with King Ning before, so he had to smile and say perfunctorily: "Thank you for your concern." ”
King Ning smiled and nodded at her, and that smile seemed to bring a little bit of the elders' doting on the juniors, and then he crossed her in.
King Ning's attitude towards her made Jiang Yu a little puzzled, and he was afraid that he would be found a lot of real Meng Yuyu by exposing his horse's feet in front of him, so he found an opportunity to ask Yu Wenhong secretly: "...... Did Meng Yuyu know King Ning very well before? Just now, King Ning looked at me and seemed to be very close?"
Yu Wenhong said: "Don't you know?"
Jiang Yu glared at him, if she knew, why was she still talking nonsense to him.
Yu Wenhong deliberately let out an "oh" and said, "You are not Yu Yu, so naturally you don't know." And he said, "It's okay to tell you, and I'm also going to let you be careful not to show your feet." Uncle Ning was a childhood sweetheart with Yu's mother Chen, and my maternal grandmother, Emperor Taizong, was friendly with the lord of Shouling, and the two had a verbal agreement to have their children and daughters. ”
Jiang Yu almost squirted out the tea in his mouth when he heard this, because he was afraid of being rude in this scene and had to swallow the tea, but he choked himself.
Then Yu Wenhong smiled again, picked up the teacup and continued to feed Jiang Yu water with a doting look, while saying, "Drink slowly, and no one will rob you." "It's a gentle look.
Jiang Yu glared at him, then pushed the teacup brought by Yu Wenhong and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine will come by herself." ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang, who was sitting in the distance, looked at it, couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with a palace fan, and said with a smile: "The royal brother and the noble concubine are so affectionate that they are the envy of the courtiers. ”
The word "affection" was originally used for husband and wife, but the eldest princess of Xunyang was used today on Yu Wenhong and her concubine, and in front of the queen.
The queen became more and more angry, her face was red, her ears were red and her nostrils were smoking, and she wanted to scratch her face at Jiang Yu.
Yu Wenjiong naturally helped the Cui family, and said with a smile on the side: "If the imperial sister is envious, what is so difficult to do." Let the imperial brother-in-law move to your princess's mansion, and the younger brother believes that the imperial brother-in-law must be more fond of you than the imperial brother to the concubine. ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Cui Mian? forget it, sister, I still want to live a few more years." ”
Then it was Yu Wenjiong, who was drinking alone and looked at the people in this hall coldly, after listening to the conversation between Yuwen Jiong and the eldest princess of Xunyang, he suddenly slammed the wine glass on the table with a cold "bang", and then glared at Yu Wenjiong, and said coldly: "Fifth brother, I know that the Cui family is your foreign family, and Cui Mian is your cousin." But Xunyang is your own sister, should you be different, are you surnamed Cui or Yuwen. You don't know what kind of virtue Cui Mian is? Last time, you asked Cui Mian to live and go back to the princess's mansion for the two sluts outside, and you didn't think Xunyang died fast enough. ”
Empress Dowager Cui and Yu Wenjiong, including the queen's faces, suddenly darkened.
Yu Wenxuan was still not enough, and continued: "If this king wants to say that Cui Mian is still doing this kind of person, why do you want to keep him? Just let him and Xunyang reconcile, our Xunyang is the only eldest princess, don't worry about not finding a better colt than him." ”
This is that even Yu Wenhong and the Cui family, who did not help Xunyang and leave, were blamed together.
Empress Dowager Cui had a dark face and snorted: "Second brother, I didn't expect my Cui family to make you look down on you like this?"
Yu Wenxuan also said: "Then the Cui family has to do something that can be looked down upon." The Queen Mother, don't always shout at my Cui family and my Cui family, you have been married into the Yuwen family for decades, how can you always say that you are a member of the Cui family. Could it be that he entered the ancestral hall of the Cui family to accept the incense offerings of the Cui family instead of the Yuwen family. ”
This was said quite disrespectfully, and it made Empress Dowager Cui so angry that she almost wanted to faint again.
You see that Yu Wenhong is such a person, he doesn't even bother to give Yu Wenhong face, and there are always a hundred ways to be so angry that Empress Dowager Cui can't even eat.
