Chapter 234: Night Banquet

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Du Hengshuang bowed down, although there was a storm in his heart, his face was still calm.

The crown princess smiled gently, personally stretched out her hand, helped Du Hengshuang up, and said cordially: "Mrs. Zhuguo is polite." It's getting late, so let's go in. The palace heard that the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion invited Cheng Fu'er from the Jiaofang to do the flying dance, which is a rare beauty in our East Palace. ”

Du Hengshuang followed with a smile and said, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is serious. Cheng Fuer did not dare to go to the East Palace to perform the dance because this flying dance had not yet been fully choreographed, for fear of insulting the prince and the princess. ”

These words are not leaky, not only elevating the crown prince and the crown princess, but also degrading the Pillar Prince's Mansion, even those who hate Du Hengshuang will feel very comfortable when they hear these words.

The crown princess bowed her head and said: "Mrs. Zhu Guohou is really good at talking, no wonder Zhu Guohou loves Mrs. Zhu very much." ”

Du Hengshuang smiled and didn't speak again, led the princess to the chariot specially prepared for her, got into the green silk mule cart by herself, and went all the way up to the second gate.

After entering the double hanging flower gate, he came to the middle hall of the main courtyard of the Zhuguo Marquis' Mansion, and the guests in the house all stood up and saluted the crown princess.

The crown princess smiled and nodded her name, "Mrs. General, I haven't seen you for a long time...... Mrs. Liu Dudu, exempt from courtesy...... Mrs. Lu Zhonglang, this is your daughter, she was born with a really beautiful face...... Hey, Mrs. Liu Shilang is also here, this is your eldest lady Caiyun? I heard that she is a talented woman in Chang'an...... Oh, this is Madame Muhou, right? A few days ago, I took my mother, who had just completed the moon, to the palace to see His Majesty, and I also met Concubine Mu Shu. She was now more and more dignified. - This is Mu Shufei's sister, right? ”

Mu Yelai hurriedly stepped forward to salute the crown princess. said: "Thank you for the princess." My sister also said that thanks to the princess for taking care of her, she also said that she was very cute. His Majesty was overjoyed at first sight and personally gave the name Wanshun. ”

The crown princess pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you Concubine Mu Shu for your trouble, our concubine has a big name." ”

Du Hengshuang stood sideways beside him, smiling and watching the princess greet the princess all over the audience, looking like she was good at dancing with long sleeves.

Not far from Du Hengshuang, the two Shangshu ladies covered their faces with fans and whispered on the side.

"The crown princess's shelves are much smaller now. In the past, when she saw us people, it would be nice to nod her head. - Now I can say so much in one breath. I'm not afraid to flash my tongue......"

"Not really. According to me. The crown princess doesn't have to be like this at all. With the fame of their Qinghe Cui family and the status of the crown princess, where do they need to hand over like this? - Just say a few words. ”

"I also think she's a little too polite, and she's lost her royal dignity. She has the most powerful family in the world. and the most powerful husband in the world. It doesn't have to be so hard. But you see that she is pulling the third lady of the Muhou family to be so affectionate. This was simply not possible before. Everyone knows that the crown princess is the most important concubine and the most disgusted with concubines. And the third lady of the Muhou family is an out-and-out concubine. ”

"It's a bit weird. Could it be that the crown prince's position is in jeopardy, so the crown princess has to come out in person to win people's hearts? ”

"The prince won't be there, right? Two days ago, I heard my lord say that His Majesty praised the prince and belittled Prince Yi. ”

"Oh, is that something wrong with the Qinghe Cui family? - Something happened to the princess's mother's family, and of course she couldn't afford it. ”

Du Hengshuang listened to the two Shangshu ladies pondering on the side, and almost didn't laugh out loud. The fear and worry that had just risen in my heart were suddenly swept away.

yes, what is she afraid of?

What needs to be feared is the "crown princess" who is greeting the audience. - Do you really think that everyone else is a fool? If you put on someone else's skin, you can easily take away someone else's identity, status and connections?

Today's situation is that Du Hengshuang is in the dark and the princess is in the light.

I'm afraid that the crown princess can't imagine that her true identity is nowhere to hide in Du Hengshuang's eyes.

Du Hengshuang looked at the princess's gentle smile with a smile, and even looked at the two ghosts closely following behind her, and felt very cordial, and couldn't wait to go up to say hello and ask, "Are you tired?" Would you like to find a place to sit down......"

Prince Yi Murong Lanzhou stood beside Du Hengshuang, and when she saw the smile on her face, she felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at her.

Du Hengshuang noticed Prince Yi's gaze, turned his head sideways and whispered, "Princess, are you familiar with the crown princess?" ”

Prince Yi was about to speak, but the crown princess had already brought Mu Yelai to Du Hengshuang, without looking at Princess Yi, she stretched out her hand to take Du Hengshuang's hand, and said with a very familiar look: "Shuang'er, come, I'll introduce you to a good sister." As he spoke, he handed Mu Yelai's hand to Du Hengshuang and said, "This is the third lady of the Mu Hou family, who has always told me that she admires Mrs. Zhu Guohou's Hu Xuan Dance very much, and wants to worship you as a teacher." ”

Du Hengshuang quietly withdrew his hand from Mu Yelai's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Mu San has won the award." I've been seriously ill all these years, and my dancing skills have long been left behind. However, we have invited a few orchids to come over today and dance a song for everyone, and if Miss Mu San doesn't mind, she can compete with these orchids. ”

Mu Yelai's smiling face suddenly collapsed, and he said curtly: "The grand banquet of the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion actually let the guests dance to cheer up, I want to ask Brother Xiao, is this how he entertains guests?" "A very familiar tone with Xiao Shihe.

Du Hengshuang didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "Oh, Miss Mu San doesn't want to?" This was proposed by the crown princess, how could Miss Mu San refute the princess's reply? - Is it, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess? ”

The crown princess was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Du Hengshuang to directly say that she was seriously ill and in poor health, so she refused to dance anymore.

Mu Yelai hurriedly said: "I'm not unwilling. It's just that today is the big banquet of the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion, and I can't steal the limelight from the host. ”

Du Hengshuang nodded, "Miss Mu San is really everyone's demeanor, and she really knows the courtesy." ”

The crown princess was about to speak, and Princess Yi had already saluted her with a smile; "I've seen the crown princess. The crown princess has just come out of confinement, so it's not good to stand all the time. "I hated Du Hengshuang again." Why don't you help the princess sit down? How do you behave as a master? "And let the crown princess not be careful, "Crown princess, our Mrs. Zhuguo Marquis is young, and it is the first time to hold such a big banquet, and there are cases where the reception is not thoughtful, I hope that the crown princess will look at the Zhu Guohou for the sake of the Marquis of Zhu, and don't embarrass Mrs. Zhuguohou." ”

When Princess Yi said this, it was difficult for the crown princess to continue to show it, so she had to get off the donkey and said: "Brother and sister are too worried, how can this palace embarrass Mrs. Zhuguo?" The most important thing in this palace is Mrs. Zhu Guohou. ”

Du Hengshuang took the opportunity to push Long Xiangye out. Said to the crown princess: "Her Royal Highness the crown princess." This is the old lady of our Xiao family. ”

Long Xiangye was busy saluting the crown princess.

The crown princess smiled and praised a few words, and saw Xiao Yanran beside Long Xiangye, without Du Hengshuang's introduction, she took the initiative to say: "This is the eldest lady of the Xiao family." The sister-in-law of the Marquis of Zhuguo, right? ”

Du Hengshuang hurriedly said yes.

Xiao Yanran stepped forward to salute the crown princess.

The crown princess took her hand and praised for a long time. Finally. asked, "Did you make a promise?" With such a good girl, this palace can't help but be a matchmaker. ”

Xiao Yanran was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Long Xiangye smiled happily. said: "If the crown princess can help to say yes, it will really be a big face of our Hou Mansion." ”

The crown princess smiled: "Since the old lady said so, I can't help it." In this way, the family affairs of your eldest lady will be wrapped up in me, and you can listen to the letter at home. ”

Xiao Yanran was in a hurry, and kept glancing at Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang was also very surprised, thought about it, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, our Hou Ye has always loved him the most, and I don't know how many times I have said it at home, saying that Yan Ran's family affairs are asking the Hou Ye to personally inquire about it." ”

Du Hengshuang moved out of Xiao Shiji, and the crown princess was not easy to interfere with. Even if she wanted to intervene, but thinking of the prince's warning to her, she still had to restrain a little, and when she heard this, she had to let go of Xiao Yanran's hand and said with a smile: "Yo, that palace is not easy to manage." My brother is in charge, and I will definitely be able to find a good family for Miss Xiao. ”

Long Xiangye was very safe, thinking that Du Hengshuang was the stumbling block, so that her daughter did not have a strong help, and the smile on her face was very stiff.

The crown princess changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you have a pair of twins, why don't you call them up to meet them?" ”

Du Hengshuang was a little vigilant and said with a smile: "The two of them are young, they can't hold it, they have already eaten dinner and gone to sleep." ”

The crown princess was surprised: "Went to bed so early? That's not going to work. Let's go to dinner so we can go back and rest." As he spoke, he smiled, took Du Hengshuang's hand, and walked to the flower hall together.

When the mother-in-law in the flower hall saw that all the visitors had arrived, she slapped her hands three times on the cloister outside.

Outside, the applause rang out, and soon food was delivered.

Among today's female dependents, the crown princess has the most respectful status, so she naturally sits in the chief.

Prince Yi followed and sat on the left side of the crown princess, and Du Hengshuang sat on the right side of the crown princess.

The rest of the seats were arranged in order according to the size of the men in the women's families.

The large kitchen presented the dishes that had been prepared one by one and placed them on the table in front of everyone.

Du Hengshuang is the host, so he stood up and toasted everyone, and said: "Today is the first banquet of our new residence in the Marquis Mansion of Zhuguo, thank you for taking the time to attend, and the Hou Ye and I are grateful." Here's the first thing to do, everyone is free. - Please! As she spoke, Du Hengshuang drank all the wine in her hand, turned her wrist again, and showed everyone her clean wine glass.

The crown princess also stood up and said, "Since Mrs. Zhuguo Marquis is so arrogant, everyone should not be polite, come, let's all have this drink." I wish the Marquis and Mrs. Zhu Guoguo today every year, and every year has today! ”

The ladies present raised their glasses and toasted together.

Only Prince Yi and Princess Yi were a little embarrassed. She was pregnant, and Su Su told her that she couldn't drink.

When Du Hengshuang saw it, he leaned over with a smile on his face, the wide sleeves of his robe covered the case in front of Prince Yi, and whispered to Prince and Princess Yi: "Even if the princess drinks, it will be fine." ”

Prince Yi raised the wine glass to her lips in disbelief, and was overjoyed when she smelled it, and immediately drank it all. β€”β€”It turned out that the wine jug on her case was specially prepared for her by Du Hengshuang, and it was actually filled with water, not wine.

Du Hengshuang saw that everyone had drunk, his face showed joy, and he slapped his palms three times, and saw a team of orchids coming and dancing in the courtyard below the flower hall.

Not far from the flower hall, there was melodious music, singing and dancing for the guests.

The ladies ate two bites of food, watched the dance for a while, persuaded them to drink again, and then chatted with the ladies and ladies they knew on weekdays, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Du Hengshuang saw that everyone was eating happily, and his mood improved a lot.

Seeing that Prince Yi and Du Hengshuang behaved intimately and looked familiar, the crown princess moved in her heart and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, my father gave four beauties to Prince Yi's mansion yesterday, I don't know how the younger brothers and sisters of Lu Dao arranged them?" ”

Not long after Princess Yi and Prince Yi got married, she just got pregnant, and when she heard this, she just nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your concern." I opened their faces yesterday and made a concubine for the prince. As he spoke, he touched his stomach with a smile and said, "Donggong doesn't need beauties." The crown prince's beauties have given birth to several sons for him, unlike our Prince Yi's mansion, where there are no children yet. - This one in my stomach is the first one. ”
