Chapter 56: The Night Feast
Maybe it's really the all-round little maid's makeup skills that are too strong, or maybe the ability of intelligent bodywear is too strong.
Anyway, after entering through the palace gate, the agent felt the gaze from all directions.
As the most watched heroine tonight, the new Princess Qi pushed King Qi, followed by His Royal Highness King Zhao and a few relatives, and walked to the left side of the main seat and sat down in the sight of everyone.
The main hall is very wide, and it is a palace hall specially used for banquets for the ministers, except for the main seat in the middle, which is distributed on the left and right sides.
Starting with a few veteran clan relatives at the level of Uncle Wang, King Cheng's lineage has already sat on the right side, while the left side is dominated by King Qi and King Zhao.
Of course, in addition to the more clearly divided parties, there are also some neutral people in the middle, such as those royalists who are only the emperor, such as those very few Qingliu who really serve the country and the people, such as those treacherous two-faced parties that the camp wants to join, and those Hanlin scholars who only do academic work and do not care about political affairs.
The main seat is the position of the emperor, but the dinner will not be held until half a pillar of incense, as the main organizer of the banquet, the emperor and queen will generally arrive when everyone is almost there, and the main dish will be served, in order to show dignity!
But like other concubines and clans, as assistants, they must arrive in advance to warm up and shake the field.
The clan wives and concubines don't have any hobbies on weekdays, so they compare their beauty, tear up X, and gossip about who's family and who accepted the first few concubines, which family's sister-in-law killed the concubine again, which family's girl is at the right age to marry, and so on.
So for this rare opportunity to show the world their noble ladies and beauties in the deep palace, of course they will not let go, just when King Qi and his wife came, many concubines had already changed their clothes once.
"The people on the other side are King Cheng and Princess Cheng!" King Zhao leaned slightly sideways and whispered to Wen Jiuqing.
Although everyone knows that tonight's banquet is for the King of Qi and his wife, but in case some people with a heart make trouble, King Qi and King Zhao sat on the left and right sides of Princess Qi, obviously in a state of protection, for fear that she would be pinched as a soft persimmon by others.
King Qi had a good ear, and he also heard King Zhao's voice, thinking of the previous rumors, he raised his eyebrows slightly and took a sip of a glass of wine in his hand, blocking his discomfort for a moment.
"The woman with a bunch of twigs on her head?" Wen Jiuqing also learned from King Zhao's appearance, and whispered to him secretly.
King Zhao, King Qi: "......"
Shen Wu pretended to take advantage of King Qi's action of pouring another glass of wine to hide his expression that almost burst into laughter.
A bunch of branches?
The three of them looked at Princess Cheng Tu Zunmei together, Tu Zunmei is a standard lady, the style of a noble lady, and her appearance is also the appearance of the housewife who is respected in the imperial capital now, and she can't find a trace of fault in the rules.
She was dressed in the clothes of the princess, and in addition to the blue clothes of the wife, she added a lot of jewelry, combed a flying bun, and knotted three mustaches on the top, standing upright.
The towering bun made her look more domineering, but it should be to show the dignity of the princess, and added a lot of dark green and light blue hair ornaments to the bun, and the falling bead chain and hairpin ring tassels made her look more feminine.
This kind of dress is not very exaggerated in this hall full of high-ranking officials and ladies and high-grade concubines, but it can be regarded as unique.
The three of them quietly withdrew their gaze, and couldn't bear to think about it, really...... It's like a tree branch~
Shen Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just half an hour ago, she combed the princess in a shocking bun, and after simply decorating it, she looked at the princess with a frightened look, succumbing to the obscenity of a certain master, and did not dare to add any hair ornaments.
At that time, she was afraid that this kind of too monotonous decoration would not make her master be compared to the beautiful ladies in the palace, and now she secretly gave herself a thumbs up, fortunately, fortunately!
Before the three of them came out of the shadow of the 'full of branches', Wen Jiuqing whispered to King Zhao again: "She has a problem!" ”
"Oh?" King Zhao glanced at Tu Zunmei again, except for how she looked at it now and felt that she really had a bunch of branches on her head, there was nothing wrong!
"I'm still not sure, but I feel a fluctuation from her that is different from ordinary people!" The agent explained: "This fluctuation should be caused by some kind of energy! ”
"......" King Zhao crossed Wen Jiuqing and looked at his imperial brother, and was relieved to see that she was also forced to speak, it turned out that he was not the only one who could not understand what this guy was saying, and he was okay.
"Huh!" The agent was annoyed: "It's not good when it goes wrong, but at this time it told me that it is not strong enough to sleep, so I can't even tell what is wrong with this human now." ”
Hearing Wen Jiuqing's whisper, King Qi was curious: "Who is he?" What went wrong to make you so upset? ”
King Zhao and Shen Wu also approached silently, and listened to Wen Jiuqing say, "My ...... Oh my brain! It hasn't collected anything usable for the past few days, and it's striking to save energy! ”
Three: "......"
Human instinct tells them that at times like this, don't ask questions, just ignore what she says!
And then the drinkers drink, the drinkers pour the wine, and pretend not to see some guy who touches his head and is annoyed!
On Princess Cheng's side, the style of painting is obviously much more normal than that of the other side, no one will whimsically think that Princess Cheng is a branch on top of a tree, and no one needs all kinds of 'brainless' words that should be out of tune.
King Cheng and his close courtiers were vaguely discussing some unspeakable things, and Princess Qi and several of her befriended women were discussing their husbands and the situation at the table opposite.
On the left and right, King Cheng and King Qi sat distinctly, and the weight of the people who came now was not enough for them to stage the drama of 'brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers', so the people on both sides were silently drinking wine and enjoying the song and dance.
"Uncle Chu has arrived!" "The military department is still here!" "Tobe Shangshu has arrived!" "The official department is still here!" “……”
The banquet is about to begin, and all the officials who really hold the real power have arrived.
"Why didn't you see my father?" Since the head of the household is not Wen Jiuqing's obsession, Wen Jiuqing guesses that it is very likely that Wen Jiuqing's obsession is Wen Jiuqing's father Wen Shichu.
But the intelligent body waited for a while, but never heard Wen Shichu's name read, although compared with the emperor's in-laws, Wen Shichu's official position is simply not worth mentioning, but he is also the biological father of the princess, this kind of dinner, how can he not be missing!
"Wen Hou's official position is an idle position, if you don't arrive early, you can only arrive late, and when this wave of officials in power is over, you should come!" King Zhao kindly explained: "Don't just care about your father for a while, now that you are the princess of Qi, according to your grade, he has to kneel for you!" ”
"Okay, okay, I got it!" The agent was bent on quickly eliminating Wen Jiuqing's mental power, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to King Zhao's chatter.
Small Theatre:
Agent: Human hair is so vigorous that it can top tree branches!!
Shen Wu: Master, that's not a branch, it's not a branch!!
Agent: If you want to give me a branch in the future, I'll make a big move!!
Shen Wu: QAQ, master, that's not a branch~~~
