The sound of gongs and drums, Concubine Qing's guard team soon arrived in front of the 'gate' of the county lord's mansion, Qin Ruwei stood at the 'door' with a smile, and saw the 'girl' in a gorgeous palace dress and a stunning appearance got out of the chariot, so she gave a salute. "Congratulations to Concubine Qing, Niangniang is here, which really makes my county lord's mansion shine."

Although Concubine Qing was not ranked as the fourth concubine, I heard that she was still a folk 'girl', she was met when the emperor left the palace, and she had no children for many years, but she was deeply favored by the emperor, and she must have her own extraordinary means.

Looking at it now, not to mention her appearance, her temperament is cold and indifferent, and her face always seems to be shrouded in a look that is as far away as it is near, "Maybe because of this, she will be favored by the emperor." "No courtesy." Concubine Qing raised her hand and said with a light smile: "This concubine has not been out of the palace for many years, and now she has the emperor's grace to come to the ** county lord's mansion to play a game or two. As he spoke, he asked the palace people to offer gifts, and there must be no emperor's reward in them.

Qin Ruwei naturally smiled and thanked her.

Princess An Yuan also stepped forward at this time, her chin was raised high, and she was domineering: "When you see this princess, why don't you still salute." ”

Qin Ruwei smiled faintly and lightly blessed: "Princess Anyuan is also here, welcome." ”

Princess An Yuan was very dissatisfied with her such negligence in this etiquette, and was about to speak, Concubine Qing said lightly: "**The county lord is a lot of courtesy, although you and Princess An Yuan are both second-grade grades, but according to the elderly, you are her elder, according to etiquette, Princess An Yuan, you should call you a cousin." ”

Princess An Yuan's face changed when she heard this, and her eyes swished at Concubine Qing.

Concubine Qing also looked at her, her eyes were lukewarm, as plain as a pool of stagnant water, and said, "The princess said, is this the reason?" I believe that when it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will also praise the princess for her courtesy, and the concubine is well-educated. ”

Princess Anyuan's face changed several times, but the emperor was used to suppress her!

Princess An Yuan's heart was not at odds, but thinking of her mother's advice, and the eyes of this damn Qing Concubine as her father, she swallowed the stomach back in her heart. "What Concubine Qing said is, **cousin doesn't have to be polite, I'm also playing with you!" A ** cousin, almost squeezed out from between the teeth.

Qin Ruwei wouldn't bother with her, after all, there were many guests, so she said: "It's just a salutation, the mother and the princess are tired of coming, I have asked people to prepare a side room, why don't you go first and rest for a while?" "Then I'm going to bother you." Concubine Qing gently bowed her head.

Qin Ruwei turned around and led the way in front, followed by Concubine Qing and Princess An Yuan. "The county lord has lived in the peasant family for many years, the emperor is very heartbroken, and he is very happy to hear the banquet held by the county lord, and he instructed the palace to tell him the banquet completely, so that he can have a good time." Concubine Qing looked at Princess An Yuan lightly and said, "Come to think of it, Princess An Yuan also hopes that the emperor will only be happy to hear good words, what do you say?" ”

This is to say that the emperor attaches great importance to Qin Ruwei, and it is also a warning to Princess An Yuan not to make trouble, otherwise, it will not be beautiful in the ears of the emperor.

Princess An Yuan's face stiffened, and she said sarcastically: "Concubine Qing is like the county lord at first sight, ah, I forgot that Concubine Qing also lived in the people." ”

This is also ironic that they are all from the countryside.

I thought that I would see Concubine Qing's 'color' change, but when Concubine Qing heard this, she didn't have a trace of expression on her face, and looked at her indifferently, which made Princess An Yuan feel like a clown jumping off the beam. "Duke An Yuan is bent on going his own way, and the palace will not stop you, I heard that the concubine Niangniang has taken a fancy to the sons of several families, and the son of the Jingguo Mansion is also among the candidates?" Concubine Qing looked at her with a smile.

Princess An Yuan's face was hot, like a fire, and the ground burned red, and she couldn't speak with her mouth curled.

Concubine Qing didn't look at her anymore, and only took people away, leaving Princess An Yuan secretly sulking in place. "Princess." Omiya's 'female' organ glanced at her and spoke apprehensively.

Princess An Yuan glanced at her coldly, and snorted heavily: "Why don't you help me in?" ”

Although Concubine Qing also came to the banquet, in fact, she just went through the motions, and after accepting everyone's worship, she said a few words, and then said that she was tired and wanted to rest, Qin Ruwei placed her in a courtyard with a pear 'huā' tree in a quiet environment.

The weather in early 'spring' is warm, the sun is also mild, Qin Ruwei set the banquet at noon, as the time gets closer and closer, there are more and more guests, Qin Ruwei, as the host, is like a spinning top non-stop.

In Shangjing, generally go to someone's house to participate in the banquet, are to chat and talk about things and watch the drama, if you say that the theme is to appreciate the 'huā' or poetry tea party or something, of course, there is also its theme content, if not, it is to talk and laugh, look at the drama, eat the banquet and pass it like this.

The noble lady in this circle also thinks so, but she really came to the county lord's mansion, and the lady and the lady have their own fun, and the ladies are 'chanting' poems, paintings, playing the piano, or throwing pots, Qin Ruwei prepared a fresh backgammon, and personally taught the rules of the game, which also made several young ladies 'fascinated' at once.

And the ladies, the horses and the horses are hanging, and there are also people who watch the plays, if they don't like it, then they are talking together, and they are naturally talking about the shortcomings of the east and the west, or testing the children's and daughters' relatives.

It is also thanks to Qin Ruwei who memorized the roster given by Princess Ren early, she has a good brain, and there is a grandmother on the side to mention it, and most of the people who come are also 'friends' with the eldest princess in the past, and they actually 'touched' their preferences accurately, and they got along with each other after a 'friendship' talk, but the guests were happy, and they won a lot of praise.

"In the end, it is the royal county lord, this bearing is different, and the knowledge is not bad, there are some things she said, I have never heard of them."

"No, she still knows that I am allergic to oranges, and the fruit bowl she gave me is without oranges, and she sent someone to remind me, which is rare."

"This mind is a good one, look at her, she talks decently, even if she doesn't say much when she hears anyone's jokes, she just laughs, it's really decent and generous."

"It's a pity, if you haven't left the royal family, it's okay to have a prince and grandson."

"Not really, but the 'huā' lang is also said to be an outstanding writer, and the emperor also appreciates it!"

“……”

In this way, when her own maid reached Qin Ruwei's ears, she was not arrogant or impatient, but treated it indifferently, but kept paying attention to Princess Anyuan's movements.

"She's quiet, and though she's arrogant, she's also able to talk to two or three young ladies." Yang Liu whispered: "The slave maid heard that she was close to Miss Qi, but Miss Qi was lukewarm, so she didn't talk about it." ”

Qin Ruwei raised her eyebrows, Jingguo Mansion has one 'door' and four masters, the eldest son and the second son have become relatives, and the third son also said that he will do family affairs this autumn, and the fourth son has outstanding appearance, and he is also the dragon and phoenix among people, and the family background like Jingguo Mansion may not be a big help if it is wooed.

Therefore, it is natural for Princess An Yuan to want to please Qi Min, but I am afraid that she will not get her wish.

Not to mention that the Jingguo Mansion is a royalist, the children of their family are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, who is willing to destroy Princess Shang's future? Even if they are willing, I am afraid that the emperor will not be willing either.

Emperor, you are suspicious, you want to marry the Jingguo Mansion, is it the drunkard's intention to drink or what?

Qin Ruwei smiled lightly and said, "Go and watch it tighter, don't let her 'mess' this banquet." ”

It's not that she snatches the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in fact, Princess Anyuan's hostility towards her was known from the first meeting, this was her first 'communication' battle in Beijing, and if she fought well, she would only be good or bad when she came back to Beijing in the future, and she couldn't mess up because of this unruly princess.

"Yes." Yang Liu answered.

Fortunately, Princess An Yuan didn't know whether she really listened to Concubine Qing's warning, or whether she was really afraid that her image would become worse in the eyes of these ladies who were above the top and she would not be able to pick a good colt, so next, although there were also slightly displeased words, it was harmless in the end, and there was no big 'mess'.

It was noon when it was time for the banquet, which opened everyone's eyes.

Whoever eats the table is not sitting at the table, what kind of cuisine and wine are prepared by the host's family, and it doesn't matter if you like to eat or not, it is a table anyway.

But this is called a buffet is also fresh, a long table, full of all kinds of food, pre-dinner snacks, staple food, desserts, fruits, properly prepared very complete.

I heard that this is self-help, you have to rely on your own hands, you can take whatever you like, a plate is put back to your seat, some people don't understand, so they look at Qin Ruwei, only to see her elegant movements, calm expression, only took her favorite food back to the seat, while eating, while tilting her head to talk to the people around her, very comfortable.

Everyone saw that they followed suit, and for a while, they were able to say two words when they met someone who took food, and the distance was closer.

"I look at the form of this buffet, it is fresh and interesting, but it is more interesting than the previous boring banquet." Duchess Jingguo looked at Qin Ruwei with a smile and said, "I don't know how you came up with such a method." ”

Qin Ruwei smiled faintly and said, "It's not all 'forced'. ”

Seeing the excitement in the field again, Yan Yan laughed, and this really put his mind at ease.

After a luncheon, Concubine Qing took Princess An Yuan back to the palace, and said to Qin Ruwei before leaving: "Your banquet is very good, the emperor will be relieved when he hears it, it is not easy for you to come back, and you often go to the palace to talk to the emperor and gather feelings." ”

Qin Ruwei's eyes flickered, and she said lightly: "The minister's 'daughter' obeys the order." ”

Concubine Qing nodded, then got into the car and left, stayed back in the palace, and told Emperor Shunjing about the big and small things at the banquet, and by the way, she also said whose wife and whose family were close.

And Qin Ruwei, after sending the last guest away, immediately breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Prepare water, I want to bathe and rest, and don't ask me to eat dinner." ”

Such a banquet really tires a person, but fortunately, she fought a beautiful battle.
