Chapter 634: Kneel and Pick
On this day, the Zhenbei Wangfu was very lively.
The celebrities of Zhenbei City have all arrived, and even some of the senior generals and staff members in the army have all come to congratulate the princess of Zhenbei, and the crowd is endless, and the same or precious or rare gifts have been moved into the treasure house of the palace, only those rare treasures will be sent to the princess of Zhenbei for her to enjoy one or two, and the general things, the stewards have gone directly into the warehouse. Otherwise, if Princess Zhenbei is allowed to look at them the same, I am afraid that a whole day may not be enough.
Princess Zhenbei is particularly beautiful today, she is dressed in a full costume and entertains the ladies with a smile.
Since she came to Zhenbeicheng, because of a series of events, Kyoto has been in turmoil, peaceful chaos, and wars, so naturally she is not in the mood to hold a banquet.
Today was the first time she had met with other ladies on such an occasion, of course, some ladies had taken the initiative to visit her before, but those who could come to see her were the top ladies in Zhenbei City, and most of the ladies who came today had never seen them.
Aunt Qin sat beside her, whispering the names of one lady after another for her.
When there was chaos in the mansion, this aunt stood up to support Princess Zhenbei, and with her help, Princess Zhenbei almost pulled out the Lu family's henchmen in the mansion, and promoted a group of people who were originally unwilling to do things when the Lu family was in charge. Now, Aunt Qin is quite embarrassed in front of Princess Zhenbei.
However, the side concubine Lu did not attend, and some of the ladies who were received by the stewards were also a little raw.
When the ladies attending the meeting saw this scene, they all knew in their hearts that the Lu family was afraid that they had lost their position, and the votes under her were naturally unlucky. However, this is also a matter of course, Princess Zhenbei has not been in Zhenbei City for many years, and the Lu family has accumulated great power in Zhenbei City and Zhenbei Palace, and Princess Zhenbei naturally wants to suppress Concubine Lu in order to establish her authority.
Everyone is a human spirit, so naturally they will not mention Concubine Lu at this moment, but as if there is no such person as Concubine Lu in the house, they will never mention it. is the wife of the Lu Mansion, who has a very good relationship with Concubine Lu, and is secretly worried about this sister, but for the sake of the Lu family, she also suppressed the idea of wanting to visit the Lu family, and she was not comfortable in the good life of Princess Zhenbei. If you want to know what Concubine Lu's situation is, you will have the opportunity to inquire in the future.
To the surprise of all the ladies, Li Tong, the eldest lady of Zhenbei Palace, did not attend this *** occasion. However, Princess Zhenbei explained that Li Tong was slightly ill and was recuperating in the mansion, so he did not come.
The ladies didn't think much about this.
After all, Li Tong was born to Princess Zhenbei, and she was not a concubine, so Princess Zhenbei would never harm her own daughter, right?
At this time, there was a corner of the backyard of the Zhenbei Palace.
Concubine Lu listened to the lively voices in the front yard in a daze, in a daze. It used to belong to her, but now it's all someone else's. When Hong Qi was in power, she was never so disappointed, because Hong Qi still gave her a lot of respect, let her be responsible for assisting in the management of the affairs of the house, and let her entertain guests together. She just doesn't have a monopoly on power anymore, but she is also at the center of power. Instead of being completely marginalized, as it is now. How many years will she have to live like this in the future? In the backyard, just forgotten?
The wind of early spring blew, but Concubine Lu shivered, and she hugged her arms tightly.
Caidie said unwillingly: "Concubine Fang, are you really willing?" The princess is so much that she won't let you participate in such an occasion. The prince and the prince are too, and they don't even say a word for the side concubine, otherwise the princess would not dare to read the side concubine so unscrupulously. And Aunt Qin, Concubine You're just too kind-hearted to keep letting her go, what's wrong now? It's all over your head. If you don't fight back, I'm afraid that there will be no place for you in this Zhenbei Wangfu in the future! ”
Butterfly was very anxious.
Concubine Lu smiled bitterly.
"Fight back? Why should I? The prince's most important heir, the prince and the eldest lady have brother and sister love, what do I have? Don't say anything, let me be quiet. ”
Caidie snorted coldly.
"Isn't she just an eldest lady?"
Caidie said with a different color in her eyes. It's just that her voice is extremely low, but Concubine Lu didn't hear it.
The backyard has long been forgotten, and when she returned to the lively front yard, she said that Mrs. Weiyuan Hou didn't know what way to come here, and she was trying to talk to Princess Zhenbei at this time.
It's a pity that Princess Zhenbei and Mrs. Huo were sitting together and talking lively, and when they heard her speak, Princess Zhenbei pretended not to hear it, and they didn't pay attention to it. She was friendly with Mrs. Huo, and naturally she had heard that the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion had been unfavorable to the Protector Mansion for the second princess and concubine. If it is in Kyoto, looking at the face of the royal family, Princess Zhenbei may still give Mrs. Weiyuan Hou some face. But now in Zhenbei City, on the territory of Zhenbei Palace, who is the princess of Zhenbei afraid of?
Mrs. Weiyuanhou's face was hot.
A few days ago, she had begged to see Simon Shuang.
Now that the second prince is in Xichuan, she wants to inquire about Jiang Lihua's news and whether she fled to Xichuan with the second prince. If Jiang Lihua is also in Xichuan, then they will have to rely on it in the future. Just in time to go over to her. In the future, if the two princes ascend to the throne with the support of Xichuan, then they will be even more prosperous and wealthy as relatives.
Who knew that Simon Shuang didn't see her at all.
This also made the Tian family begin to question their value, so Mrs. Weiyuan Hou was eager to pass today's banquet to show her status as Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, but now, she was eating a closed door here with Princess Zhenbei.
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou secretly hated in her heart, and she had to show a smile on her face, pretending to be nothing, and wanted to cover up the matter.
However, where can't the lady who looks like a person understand the fact that Princess Zhenbei doesn't want to see her?
At the moment, Mrs. Weiyuanhou's side is empty, for fear of being touched by her side and being implicated;.
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou was still glad that the people of the Tian family were not qualified to participate in today's banquet, and they didn't know what she said when she went back. In fact, when she got this invitation, the people of the Tian family were much more enthusiastic about her than they were some time ago. But in a blink of an eye, Wei Yuanhou met the face of Mrs. Yan's Tian, and Weiyuanhou's heart was shocked, remembering that Tian seemed to be the sister of Master Tian. Suddenly, Mrs. Weiyuanhou's heart was cold.
In the future, will they still have a foothold in the Tian family?
Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis also had no intention of being here anymore, she took advantage of the excuse to change her clothes and leave the table, and was very depressed in the Zhenyuan Palace.
Besides, the prince of Zhenbei and the prince Li Mo are naturally a lot of people.
Xiao Mansion is here, and it is still at the table of Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, which shows the importance that the king of Zhenbei attaches to Xiao Mansion. This made many people look sideways at Xiao Mansion, secretly thinking that maybe they could get closer to this Xiao Mansion in the future.
The second and third masters of the Red Mansion were personally accompanied by Li Mo, and they were very respectful.
All the adults present were very polite to them. When did the second and third red masters enjoy this grace when they went to a banquet in Kyoto? I felt a little flattered. But fortunately, they have seen the world in Kyoto, and they talk well, and they don't make any jokes.
Everyone originally came to see Li Mo's face, but gradually some of them really had a good impression of them, and they were familiar with each other, and they knew a lot of people.
And when it was close to noon, the arrival of Xiang Yan, the prince of Dongping, Ximen Shuang, the lord of Xichuan Wang, and the son of Zhou of the Hangzhou Imperial Court, pushed the atmosphere of this banquet to the highest level. All the people in Zhenbei are extremely proud, Dongping has the eldest prince, Xichuan has the second prince, and Hangzhou has the fourth prince, so what? Don't you want to see their faces in Zhenbei one by one?
After Xiang Yan, Ximen Shuang, and Zhou Gongzi sat down separately under the guidance of their subordinates, Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, stood up, and after he looked around, he said with joy on his face: "This time, our Zhenbei Wangfu held this wedding banquet, firstly, it is indeed to celebrate the birthday of the insider, and secondly, it is to take this opportunity to announce a major event to everyone." ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhen paused.
The corners of Xiang Yan's mouth curled slightly, full of pride; Because Ximen Shuang and Wednesday Gongzi had known the news for a long time, their faces were still calm, but their hearts couldn't help but sink.
The others were confused, and they didn't know which one was making trouble with Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei. However, I suddenly realized in my heart, why Li Zhen rarely even made a big deal about his birthday and Li Mo's birthday, but now he is so big about a princess's life, it turns out that there is another reason.
This made many people breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise the princess's birthday would be like this every year in the future, which would really be a headache. Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, didn't suddenly have a style.
However, after letting go of this worry, everyone began to wonder again, what did Li Zhen want to say? Put on such a big battle?
Although everyone didn't know what to do, they were all human spirits, and they all turned their eyes to Xiang Yan, Ximen Shuang, and Zhou Gongzi. If you want to say that the most powerful people in Zhenbei City recently, it is definitely these three. This matter is very likely to be related to these three. Could it be that Zhenbei is also going to participate in this major event in the world?
At the thought of this, everyone's blood boiled a little.
Zhenbei has never been afraid of war, they have been preparing for the battlefield since childhood, and when they become adults, they join the army, and only when they are seriously wounded, killed in battle, or discharged from the army will they return home, and after returning home, they will train the next generation and repeat this path. They relied on military salaries to support their families and made a fortune on military exploits, and fighting wars was almost the meaning of their lives.
In this competition of who is the main player in the world, how can there be less of the Zhenbei boy?
They will be glorified again!
People's eyes lit up, their fists clenched in excitement, and some even stood up.
Such an atmosphere made Xiang Yan, Ximen Shuang, and Zhou Gongzi all feel a burst of pressure. In recent years, due to some unspeakable reasons, Dongping and Xichuan have rarely fought wars, and even if they do, they are just doing something to show the imperial court.
And Wednesday's heart is even heavier, the army in the south can't even beat the pirates now, it's just not what it looks like.
In the end, everyone's eyes returned to Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, waiting for him to announce the shocking news. Li Zhen made a gesture to Xiao Zheng beside him: "Protector, please!" Protector Xiao Zheng stood up, walked to the middle of the front, faced everyone, and unfolded a yellow scroll: "The Queen Mother's edict, kneel and receive!" ”
