In the house next door to Loei, Qiao Zhao was a little worried: "If it's okay, I'll go back, my grandmother has been a little uncomfortable for the past two days." ”

"Grandmother is sick? I'll go with you. ”

Qiao Zhao shook his head: "Forget it, the old man is old, and he is a little unhappy in a bad mood, so it's not a serious illness." When you go, your grandmother will still dress up and meet the guests, and toss her old man for nothing. ”

Shao Mingyuan was not happy when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "I'm a guest?"

He is obviously the grandson-in-law of the old lady, how can he be a guest?

"Anyway, don't go over, what happened at home is a little embarrassing, grandmother is a strong person, and I don't want people to know. ”

Shao Mingyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you." I came here today to tell you that I still have to go to the banquet held by King Rui and King Mu. ”

Qiao Zhao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "King Rui is looking for you in private?"

Shao Mingyuan was stunned: "How do you know?"

"Let me guess, he found you through Brother Chi?"

Shao Mingyuan was even more surprised: "Zhaozhao, when will you tell fortunes?"

Qiao Zhaowan smiled: "I don't know how to tell fortunes, but yesterday my eldest sister suddenly came back and came to me on purpose." You know, I've always been at odds with this sister, and she's rarely come back, so how could she come looking for me if she had nothing to do? ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Zhao glanced at Shao Mingyuan with a smile and sighed lightly: "I don't have anything else, I still have self-knowledge." What does it matter if I, a girl from an ordinary eunuch family, attend a banquet of this size? ”

Shao Mingyuan smiled and nodded: "The other party is quite smart, I will definitely go if I know you go." ”

"Yes, when I think of this, I said that I was not there, and I didn't see her. King Rui saw that my eldest sister didn't get things done, so he could only use favors to invite you. ”

Shao Mingyuan was stunned again: "Do you know that I owe King Rui a favor?"

Qiao Zhao glanced at him: "When you invited Grandpa Li out of the Rui Wang's Mansion, you didn't rely on favors, could it be that you relied on your face?"

Shao Mingyuan chuckled and winked at Qiao Zhao: "It's okay to rely on your face." ”

Qiao Zhao glanced at him.

Shao Mingyuan stretched out his hand to hold Qiao Zhao's hand, and his heart warmed slightly: "Zhaozhao, since you thought of this at the beginning, why did you still ruthlessly not recognize me?"

It turns out that Zhao Zhao sees everything he does, and his girl has always been so smart.

Qiao Zhao patted his hand: "If you just sell your face, I'm going to recognize you?" My eldest brother is your uncle, you even killed someone's sister, shouldn't you do something for your eldest brother?"

"Yes, yes, it really should be. Shao Mingyuan smiled and nodded.

He likes Zhao Zhao to be invisible like this.

"Zhaozhao, will you attend this banquet?"

At the beginning, Zhao Zhao didn't want to participate, so he didn't go, and he wanted to let King Rui use the favor he had owed.

Although inviting him to the banquet was not enough to offset the favor he had when he invited Divine Doctor Li, at least King Rui would think more about anything in the future.

Human favor is always thinner and thinner, and it is best to use it a few more times in such inconsequential things, so as to save him a headache in the future.

As for King Rui's desire to use Miss Li to get in touch with him, he was not worried at all.

Miss Li and Zhao Zhao have a weak sisterhood, he doesn't have to compromise for Zhao Zhao's face, King Rui wants to win him over in the future only through his father-in-law's way.

Hehe, he is even less worried about taking the road of his father-in-law, because of his father-in-law's upright temper, he can recognize the daughter of the concubine as the sun coming out of the west.

"I'm not going, this kind of banquet is boring, maybe there will be chaos. ”

"Uh, what do you mean by that?"

"Didn't Brother Chi say in Chunfeng Building that day that the envoy of Xijiang would not be at ease when he came this time. Isn't it the best time for them to come up with moths, so it's the best time to invite the nobles in Beijing?"

Qiao Zhao really said what he said.

The banquet was held in the royal garden, and the male and female guests were separated, each occupying the east and west gardens, and the west garden was presided over by Princess Mu.

Princess Mu was wearing a green woven golden phoenix pattern robe, which made her tall and dignified and steady, and the ladies who came also wore grand dresses, but the girls who had not left the pavilion changed into light and delicate spring clothes, bringing a touch of color to the royal West Garden.

"When spring comes, people are alive, full of flowers, and they are all eye-catching. ”

Because of Jiang Tang's death, the entire capital was silent and depressed in the first month, and it was not easy to have such a grand banquet, and the ladies were gossiping in twos and threes, with a relaxed smile on the corner of their mouths.

The little girls were very curious about Princess Xijiang, who had not yet arrived.

"I heard that this princess Xijiang is both beautiful and beautiful, I don't know if it's true or not?" asked a girl in pink curiously.

Another girl pouted and smiled: "In terms of beauty, Princess Xijiang can be compared to the ninth princess of our Great Liang? ”

"That's what I said, anyway, don't let Princess Xijiang compare our noble girl to Daliang. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd: "Princess Xijiang is here." ”

Many people looked curiously, and saw a petite girl wearing a Xijiang costume walking over.

Princess Xijiang wore a long dress similar to the dress worn by the lady of the Liang on formal occasions, the difference was that the belt was tied directly to the chest, and the long ribbon formed into a bow fell down at will, and it had a unique style as she walked.

Some girls' eyes lit up, and they bit their ears with their friends and said: "It looks like a person has longer legs when she wears it like this, so I'll try to change the long skirt like this." ”

"Yes, Princess Xijiang is not tall, so she looks very delicate in this dress. ”

A cold snort came: "Rare and strange, such a full-breasted skirt was popular during the Five Dynasties, and this was not researched by the Xijiang people." ”

When the two girls heard such sarcastic words, they turned their heads and wanted to shoot back, but when they saw that it was Lan Xinong, they immediately became honest.

When they are the granddaughters of the first assistant, they can't afford to mess with them.

Lan Xi glanced at the two of them coldly: "If you have the time to study other people's skirts, it is better to read more books!"

"You-" One girl couldn't help but talk back, but the other girl jerked her sleeve before bowing her head and saying nothing.

When Lan Xinong diverted her attention, the girl was full of grievances and whispered: "What's the big deal, why should I read the history books of the Five Dynasties to study what skirts the girls wore at that time, I just watched Princess Xijiang dress well, can't I?"

"Okay, it's not good for Miss Lan to hear it. The other girl was at ease.

Princess Xijiang's beautiful eyes flowed, and she was very satisfied with the reaction of the nobles, lifted her skirt lightly, and was led by Princess Mu to sit in the seat of the guest.

The music sounded, and the banquet officially began.

When women get together, the banquet is nothing more than drinking while chatting.

Princess Xijiang curled her lips and smiled: "What's so interesting about this, why don't we both try our talents, which side loses will be punished for drinking collectively, what does the princess think of this kind of play?"
