Chapter XVII. Location
After saying hello to Liu Yan's family, Princess Lichuan first took Chen Wenhui and King Zhou's family to say hello. Chen Wenhui saluted King Zhou and Princess Zhou in accordance with etiquette. Princess Zhou is beautiful and spicy, and she speaks loudly, looking a little like Sister Feng. King Zhou is fat and white, looking mediocre.
After saying hello to King Zhou, it was King Qi, in fact, Wen Hui had been paying attention to Princess Qi for a long time, Princess Qi may be the most beautiful woman in this hall in terms of appearance, but beauty has no soul and cannot attract people. On the contrary, King Qi's two side concubines are not as beautiful as princesses, but one is charming and the other is noble in temperament, which is still very attractive.
After seeing the ceremony, Princess Lichuan took Wen Hui back to her seat. Princess Lichuan whispered to Wen Hui: "My third brother has a smart face, but he has a confused belly. I shouldn't have chosen the illiterate Zheng family as the concubine in the first place, since I chose it, no matter how bad it is, I have to maintain my concubine in front of outsiders, this is my own face, is it that the princess has no face and he looks good, it's really stupid. ”
Wen Hui couldn't help laughing when she heard Princess Lichuan's words, in fact, she agreed with Princess Lichuan's words very much, but the rights and wrongs of the prince were not something that she could discuss as a little woman.
Wen Hui and Princess Lichuan continued to talk, and as soon as they said a few words, someone took the initiative to greet Princess Lichuan. At this time, the banquet has not yet begun, therefore, everyone can move around freely, and there are more people here to meet Princess Lichuan, after all, Princess Lichuan is the hottest now, the eldest daughter of the emperor, and the most favored daughter, and her mother is the highest ranking concubine in the harem. Now Fujun is in charge of the most profitable industry in Dachu, sea trade. There are more people who want to befriend the princess. Some are for power, and some want to participate in maritime trade for the sake of making money. Therefore, Princess Lichuan's seat is endless, and there are even more people in front of the third prince and the fourth prince.
There are many people who come to say hello. But Princess Lichuan is very thoughtful, Princess Lichuan is a noble girl by nature, with a good temperament, a kind attitude, and all-encompassing, which will naturally introduce her children to everyone, and it is indispensable to introduce Chen Wenhui, so Chen Wenhui's first social occasion in the capital has become the center of attention.
The Chen family only arrived at this time, and Chen Yuanheng and his wife did the place where the second-grade officials did, just in the third row behind the princess. The second row was made by the Chen family, and it was naturally Chen Zhaonan's old couple, because Chen Yuanfeng's grade was only four grades, and he could only sit outside the hall, in the area of the four rank officials.
At this moment, the Wang family saw that the river was flowing in front of Princess Lichuan's seat, in the crowd. Princess Lichuan is like a blooming peony flower, high on top, but Chen Wenhui, who was next to Princess Lichuan, was not taken away by the princess at all, but looked beautiful and generous. Wang looked at his daughter again, and the front of the seat was also endless, and his daughter was gorgeous and noble. Dealing with the officials and relatives who came and went with a slight smile, his heart was a little more balanced. Although she married a husband who had no interest and could only condescend to the outside, her daughter was also the best among people, which was enough to make her happy.
Thinking of this, Wang glanced at her husband lightly. Hmph, I've been suppressed for so many years, and in the end, it's my daughter who gives you a long face.
Chen Yuanfeng also felt deeply honored when he saw his daughter as a concubine, and looked at the Wang family beside him. I thought to myself, I used to pamper my concubine and embarrass my wife, so I must pay attention to it in the future. The children of those concubines are really not good, a Wen Yuan became the prince Liangdi, and it brought him some glory before, but where can it compare to the glory brought by Wen Feng now. Besides, his father has said that he must be cautious in his words and deeds, be honest for a period of time, this period of time is very important, maybe the fourth prince Liu Yan will be able to earn the throne, then Wenfeng will become the crown princess, and she will not be the queen in the future, but she is stronger than her eldest sister Chen Guifei today. In the future, I must give my wife more dignity.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuanfeng couldn't help but be gentle and considerate to his wife Wang. Wang was deeply surprised.
Here, the Wang family and Chen Yuanfeng are looking at the seats in the middle, on the Chen family seats in the row behind Princess Lichuan, Chen Zhaonan is sitting calmly, as the father of Chen Guifei, he is now also a lot of people, Chen Zhaonan coped with it skillfully. Mrs. Chen's wife, Li, while greeting the Li family's family on her mother's side, and dealing with the people who came to the knotting with her husband, also looked at her children in the crowd. The eldest family is outside the main hall, and this old lady Li doesn't want to see it. In the first row opposite the hall sat her youngest daughter, Chen Yuanfang, who was waiting for her mother-in-law and eldest princess with her two flower-like daughters at the moment. The eldest princess is the eldest sister of the current emperor, a mother's compatriot, and is deeply respected by the emperor, so the front of the seat is also endless. The eldest princess's two sons are both high-ranking officials, the eldest son is the second rank and is the squire of the household department, and the second son, who is also her little son-in-law, is also the second rank official and is the squire of the ministry. However, the eldest princess prefers more daughters-in-law, which has always been the pride of the old lady Li.
Looking behind the eldest princess, in the seats of the nobles, the second daughter Chen Yuanru was sitting in her seat with her son and daughter-in-law with her husband Lin Haibo. The second daughter, Chen Yuanru, has been the wife of the prince since she got married, and she suffered hard, until the year before last, her husband was knighted and became Mrs. Uncle, which is really a daughter-in-law who has been a mother-in-law for 30 years.
Li looked at it and nodded. Looking at it, I can't help but see Princess Lichuan's seat again. Princess Lichuan is her most beloved granddaughter, with a noble status and smart and clever. At this moment, she was standing there with the girl of the Chen family, and I don't know how many people envied her, saying that her granddaughter knew that her granddaughter was very compatible with her cousins. She was happy on her face, but she was not very happy in her heart, because the granddaughter that Lichuan brought was not her own, but the daughter of her concubine, how could she be happy. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her two granddaughters again. The eldest granddaughter Chen Wenfeng is in the seat of King Jin, and she is very generous. But the third granddaughter Chen Wenjin was serving her mother-in-law at the honorable table, and when Li looked over, Mrs. Jinxiang was reprimanding Chen Wenjin in a low voice with a straight face. Chen Wenjin didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only stand with tears in his eyes.
The Li family was depressed for a while, this Mrs. Jinxiang Hou is too ignorant, this Wenjin's uncles and aunts are all left and right, and she is really annoying that she doesn't give face to her daughter-in-law like this. Speaking of which, it is not good for the second to choose this person, not only can he not help the Chen family, but he also has to vote for the third prince instead of the fourth prince at a critical time, which is really annoying.
When everyone in the hall was busy, there was a sudden chime, this is the emperor and the harem of the ladies are about to enter the table, so everyone is busy standing on their seats and greeting them. After a while, a sharp voice shouted: "Welcome to the emperor." ”
Immediately inside and outside the main hall, a mountain shouted: "Long live my emperor." ”
Chen Wenhui also fell to her knees. In my heart, I slandered in my heart, this scene is really similar to a costume drama, and I am really one of them now. She has been famous for a long time, but she has never seen Long Yan, but today she has a chance to see the real face.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice came out, and there were many more people in the hall, and a very nice and loud voice said, "Flat." ”
Everyone stood up. Chen Wenhui secretly raised her eyes and saw where an emperor in a dragon robe, who was about fifty years old, was standing. He looks very elegant, in fact, it can be described as handsome, no wonder Liu Yan can grow that kind of alluring appearance, this is because he has such excellent genetic inheritance. Come to think of it, even if the first generation of emperors is not good-looking, because the concubines in the harem have always been the most beautiful in the world, so after three generations, the appearance of the descendants must also become beautiful.
Wen Hui, who was tugging about genetics in her heart, couldn't help but start thinking about the concubines in the harem again after reading it. The first is his graceful and luxurious aunt, Chen Guifei. She and the emperor stood very right. Standing beside her and the emperor were the four concubines. The most eye-catching is Concubine Wande. She is the emperor's favorite concubine and the biological mother of the third prince, and Chen Wenhui is the first time she has seen her. At first glance, he immediately felt that the concubine Zheng of the third prince was compared. Concubine Wande is really bright and beautiful, and the beauty is thrilling, although the years have not been forgiving, and there is a feeling of beauty twilight, but it is still beautiful under the exquisite dress.
From this, it can be imagined that when she was in her heyday, she was really incomparable to the former queen, no wonder she has been pampering the harem for many years. In addition to this Concubine Wande, Chen Wenhui also saw Xie Chonghua with the fifth prince on the side. Xie Chonghua is obviously young, and he doesn't have the beauty of Concubine Wande, but he has a gentle temperament, and he can be regarded as a big beauty. As for the fifth prince, he was born with pink makeup and jade, very good-looking, he is only six years old at the moment, and he still looks cute, looking very cute.
In addition to these few people, the most eye-catching is Qian Concubine. Qian Concubine is a Jiangnan woman with a gentleness like water. The appearance is beautiful, but unlike the thrilling beauty of Concubine Wan, her beauty is good and gentle, it is expected that the emperor will also be aesthetically tired when he looks at Concubine Wande's amazing beauty all day long, so he began to like the young and gentle Qian Concubine.
When Wen Hui was secretly looking at the royal people, the emperor had already begun to speak, speaking in a crepe manner, Wen Hui didn't understand very well, but fortunately, it was just a moment before it was finished, and everyone was busy singing praises and virtues, and then the banquet began.
