102.Chapter 102
So she just pretended to be flattered and said, "Really? Thank you, sister!"
Yuan Xiuyu glanced at Yuan Jinyu a little proudly, and she knew that none of the women in the capital could resist the temptation of King Chu.
When the time comes, with such a help, it will still be his sister, and he will not worry that King Chu will not be trapped by his side.
Yuan Jinyu laughed at Yuan Xiuyu for not being able to see clearly, if Xiang Ye intended to let Yuan Xiuyu and the King of Chu get married, the marriage would be decided early in the morning, and their mother and daughter were secretly entangled here.
It is also said that the Cui family is too composed, and a Chu king with good conditions makes her dizzy.
I don't know if she learns that King Rui will be the one who inherits the unification in the future, will her bowels be blue with repentance?
Naturally, these Yuan Jinyu would not say it, and when she thought of King Rui, she inevitably thought of King Ning. The stove in his hand couldn't help but clench a little.
From the Prime Minister's Mansion to the place where you get off at the Imperial Palace, it takes nearly an hour and a half to make a carriage. At this time, after they got out of the car, they also needed palace people to guide them and lead them to the main hall where the state banquet was held.
There were several other women who walked along the way, Yuan Jinyu followed behind Yuan Xiuyu in a regular manner, someone asked, she replied politely, no one asked, so she regarded herself as a mute and didn't say anything.
Cui's was quite satisfied with her appearance as a concubine, and gradually stopped paying attention to her.
When I got closer to the main hall, I could already hear the sound of drums coming from inside. The palace is also full of lights, and the towering eaves are hooked upward, infinitely sharp.
When I entered the inner hall, I found that the place inside was even more spacious, and countless palace people were shuttling around, placing the food, and in the middle of the main hall, there were dancing girls.
Today's dancing girls are all dressed in red, and it is very warm in the hall, they are dressed coolly, and they are constantly stepping on the drum beat with the music, constantly jumping and spinning on the ground.
The seats in the main hall are separated from each other, and the wives and children sit together, the concubines sit together, the ministers sit together, and the princes and ministers are next to each other, very close to the emperor.
And the queen will sit next to the emperor today, and meet with the emperor to meet the women of hundreds of officials.
When Yuan Jinyu passed by the seats of the princes, he took a slight look and found that several princes had not yet arrived, and all the young princesses who came were some young princesses.
Looking at the position of the concubine in the palace again, it was also blocked by layers of curtains, but the body inside was shaking, and there should be many of them who came first.
After she sat down, the seats with the concubine belonged to both sides of the main hall, facing each other from a distance, and this position was not hung with a curtain, so she could clearly see the situation on the other side.
After a few concubines saw Yuan Jinyu and Yuan Xiuyu sitting down, they kept staring at this side, whispering, and their eyes were always around Yuan Jinyu's body.
In the previous life, she was not qualified to participate in this kind of state banquet, but with such a layout, she also knew a little bit in her heart.
The draft is held once every three years, and this kind of year is not in the draft, the emperor will select a few official women to serve in the palace every year, and the concubines need to help each other plan for this matter.
In the position where they were, they could clearly see the situation around the women here, and it was also convenient for them to look at the daughters that the women brought into the palace.
Yuan Jinyu was extremely fortunate that there was also a Yuan noble concubine serving in the palace, and she was a generation behind the emperor, so she couldn't get her turn to enter the palace.
Otherwise, with her appearance, she appeared at the state banquet, and it would be strange that those concubines didn't regard herself as a thorn in the flesh.
Not long after, one after another women sat down, and Cui's this time also showed the image of a loving mother very well, and he has been smiling and introducing Yuan Jinyu.
Yuan Jinyu's memory is not bad, she introduced it once, and she can remember her name and face. And she will talk back obediently, and many women like her very much.
At this time, a woman was still boasting: "I heard that the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is both talented and beautiful, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." β
Yuan Jinyu lowered his head at the right time and pretended to be shy. Many ladies next to her looked at her with a kind of daughter-in-law from the beginning, and she didn't want to give them any daughters-in-law.
Cui Shi covered his mouth and smiled, Yuan Xiuyu also smiled very kindly, and also held Yuan Jinyu's hand.
"It's all rumors outside, she, but she only knows a few words, but I still have to praise our family Jinyu, her female red is very good, the shoes and hats made of it, the old lady and the grandfather, can't put it down. β
As soon as Cui's words came out, a complimentary voice immediately sounded again: "What a wonderful person with a peerless face and a clever mind, Mrs. Xiangye, you are really blessed, with such two good daughters by your side, if you get married in the future, how can you be willing to give up?"
Cui Shi held the hands of his two daughters and smiled: "But isn't it, that's why I told my grandfather, I must keep my two daughters by my side for a while! But when they get married in the future, they will live their own lives, and they can think of coming back to see me once a year, and I will be satisfied." β
Yuan Xiuyu also coquettishly said to Cui's family: "Mother, your daughter will always be with you, and your daughter will not marry!"
A few women also brought over the young lady, and recently I heard that the king of Chu went to the prime minister's mansion a few times, and he saw the prime minister on the surface, but in fact, he went to see Yuan Xiuyu.
Now that she has a bargain, she is still good, and the king of Chu is a man that all women in the capital want to marry!
During the Chinese New Year, what everyone said was auspicious and ingenious, especially at the state banquet, if there was really something unpleasant, it would definitely affect their master's career, and if it was heavier, it would anger the saint, and maybe it would cause death.
So even if they didn't look down on each other before, they were all chatting with each other at this time.
And among them, there are Mrs. Yun and Cui's.
Since Yun Jing's accident, the two families have not interacted with each other, and Aunt Jiang and Concubine Zheng teamed up to kill Yun Jing, but they were also suppressed by Xiangye, so Mrs. Yun didn't know.
But she still resented the Prime Minister's Mansion because of this, and felt that the Prime Minister's Mansion did not protect her daughter.
When I saw Cui's at this time, although I wanted to cut these women with a thousand knives, I still smiled gently and said beautiful words to the women next to me.
As if she had thought of something, she was still "sincerely" persuading: "The most important thing to marry a daughter is to choose someone who knows how to hurt people, don't just find a concubine to marry, and be wronged when you go to your husband's house." β
Although the women in the capital do not go out of the gate, they will also get together, and there is nothing to talk about after tea and dinner, and the matter of the family compound in the capital will be put on the bright side.
Therefore, the situation that Yunfu and Xiangfu are incompatible, they still know a little bit.
Cui's heart looked down on Mrs. Yun, her husband was an official, and he even came to shout with him. 's daughter was drugged, and finally committed suicide in a frenzy, that is also Yun Jing's own negligence, where can she complain about the head of the Prime Minister's house?
Cui's heart was angry, and he just wanted to speak, but was preempted by Yuan Jinyu.
Yuan Jinyu was beside Cui's side at this time, really like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, her big eyes blinked, and she said to Mrs. Yun: "I believe that my mother will definitely choose a good husband for me and my sister." β
Yuan Jinyu's words were originally just to prevent the Cui family from saying something that would anger Mrs. Yun, which would make everyone unhappy at that time. But Mrs. Yun felt that she was sarcastic about herself and did not find a good husband for Yun Jing.
So Mrs. Yun's eyes suddenly turned red, and she was afraid of making a fool of herself, so she turned her head directly, and her voice was a little choked: "Yes, I didn't pick a good husband for Jing'er......"
Yuan Jinyu frowned, what are you crying for this New Year, if it weren't for Aunt Jiang's murder, she really can't say it, she will sue Mrs. SΓΉyun, the murderer has been found, and your daughter can rest in peace.
If you choke up like this, everyone will think that you have bullied someone. So Yuan Jinyu leaned closer to Cui's side again, pretending not to notice Mrs. Yun's abnormality, pointing to the pastries on the table, and asking with a blank eye: "Mother, can I eat that?"
Cui Shi smiled and pinched the tip of her nose, and "spoiled" and said, "Eat if you want, little gluttonous cat." β
Yuan Xiuyu also handed her plate to Yuan Jinyu: "It's all for you." β
"Thank you, mother, thank you, sister!"
When Yuan Jinyu took the pastry, her eyes lit up instantly, and she only stared at the pastry, so those two sentences, she said so cute and cute, many people couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.
And everyone knows that they would rather offend Mrs. Yun than Mrs. Xiangfu, after all, this is a day of great joy, who wants to see her crying.
Mrs. Yun was even more sad for a while, feeling aggrieved for her daughter, and she didn't say a word during the entire banquet after that, and when it was time to leave, she left early.
Yuan Jinyu ate the pastry, and couldn't help but think of what Mrs. Yun had just said, to find a husband who would hurt people. If it was King Chu, she could still imagine that he pitied Yuan Xiuyu, but if it was King Ning......
Yuan Jinyu had that alluring but unusually cold face in his mind, which made him cherish people? Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, what a strange situation it must be.
And at this time, she didn't know that that the man like an iceberg would one day melt for a woman.
She had just eaten two pieces of pastry, and she heard someone next to her whispering, and when she looked up, she found that it turned out that the palace concubines opposite her should have begun to sit down one after another.
In her previous life, she had seen a few concubines from afar, but in this life, she was still a little unright.
Yuan Xiuyu, who was still beside her, leaned over and introduced her: "My sister came to introduce you to these people, you have to remember."
