Chapter 438: Toast
The Queen Mother smiled: "You sisters and brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and you have a lot of points." This is not good, Yong'an, it is rare for you to come back, and this time you will have to stay in the capital for a few more days. ”
The eldest princess of Yong'an said with kindness: "The son listens to the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "The harem concubines, there are a few imperial sisters who are more familiar, if you think it is very troublesome to hold a banquet, it is better to leave the matter to them." ”
The eldest princess of Yong'an raised her eyes and saw that there seemed to be deep meaning in the emperor's eyes.
She clenched her fists suddenly, tried her best to ignore the emperor's meaningful gaze, and said lightly: "Since the emperor has made arrangements, I, as a sister, naturally have to act according to the cheap given by the emperor." ”
When the emperor heard this, his heart was slightly relieved.
He and Princess Yong'an haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and he is really worried that this time Princess Yong'an came back because of the Queen Mother.
Fortunately, the first temptation, the eldest princess of Yong'an had already made it clear that she did not rush back to the capital because of the queen mother's order.
The thoughtful emperor immediately asked the dancers who were ready to perform in the main hall.
A very happy song sounded, and the beautiful dancers threw up their sleeves and walked onto the stage one by one.
After a while, the entire Purple Light Pavilion fell into singing and dancing.
Even everyone's curiosity about the eldest princess of Yong'an has been reduced a lot because of the beautiful singing and dancing.
When a round of singing and dancing passed, Jiang Qiyan took the opportunity to look at the Queen Mother.
Seeing that her expression did not change, but the eldest princess of Yong'an looked sad, and she didn't seem to be interested in this windward banquet specially held for her.
Jiang Qiyan frowned, and couldn't help but ponder the emperor's previous two sentences.
However, she and her father don't know much about the past, so they really don't understand what the sister-brother relationship between the emperor and the eldest princess Yong'an is?
However, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Yong'an is not harmonious, but many people know it.
Even the fact that the eldest princess Yongan was forced to marry is enough to make many people speculate about the relationship between the mother and daughter.
"At the windward banquet, the civil and military officials controlled their emotions very well. But judging from the situation of their female dependents, they may not have to guess less about the appearance of the eldest princess Yong'an in their hearts. Jiang Qiyan analyzed carefully.
Because there are too few clues, and she and the eldest princess of Yong'an have not yet been officially contacted.
She really didn't know if the eldest princess of Yong'an was really as indifferent as she was now.
"She shouldn't be in the Imperial City for long." Wei Zeyin said.
Jiang Qiyan didn't ask, but smiled back when a few people looked at her.
Even when Wang Youwei's gaze fell, she didn't deliberately provoke Wang Youwei.
Time passed bit by bit, and when the Ziguang Pavilion was the most lively, the eldest princess of Yong'an seemed to be impatient to stay any longer, and got up to leave, but the emperor couldn't stop it.
"I'm going to approach this princess now, will I make her angry?" Jiang Qiyan saw this scene, raised her eyebrows, and said in a low voice.
Wei Zeyin shook his head and said: "The eldest princess of Yong'an is the most focused on everyone at this time, don't go." ”
"Third brother, I toast you." Wei Yi came over happily.
The glass was unstable, and the drink was all spilled on his body.
The faces of the eunuchs who served beside him turned white.
Wei Yi patted his shirt nonchalantly and said, "I originally wanted the third brother to taste this pear blossom brew, but who knew that it was all spilled." Third brother, you wait a while, I'll go to the side hall to change my clothes first. ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Jiang Qiyan couldn't help but smile lightly: "It seems that I am not the only one who wants to get close to the eldest princess of Yong'an. ”
Wei Zeyin smiled helplessly, "The ninth brother is really bold enough, and I don't know if Aunt Yong'an will be angry when she sees the ninth brother." ”
"It's my aunt, she won't be angry. But the Queen Mother is going to have bad thoughts about the ninth brother. ”
When Jiang Qiyan was leaving, Jiang Qiyan quickly raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, and when she saw that she looked unhappy, she knew that she was very dissatisfied with Wei Yi going to find the eldest princess of Yong'an at the moment.
"Let's take care of the ninth brother more." Wei Zeyin said.
"You can toast now, I'll go find Concubine Jiang Shu." Jiang Qiyan thought about it, immediately poured a glass of wine, and went to Concubine Jiang Shu.
"The ninth brother is a very good person, the prince admires him very much, and I also like the ninth brother's carefree temperament. Niangniang, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, should not know some interesting things about the ninth brother, if Niangniang doesn't mind, I will enter the palace in the future, and I can say more for Niangniang. ”
Jiang Qiyan's smile was like sunshine, warm to her heart.
Concubine Jiang Shufei unconsciously eased her expression, and said a little helplessly: "Yi'er is really naughty, you couple are really embarrassed." ”
As she spoke, she picked up the wine cup she had poured and drank a glass with Jiang Qiyan.
"How can Princess Qin toast Concubine Jiang Shu alone?" Concubine Xian suddenly spoke.
Her voice was loud and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Qiyan smiled softly: "Don't worry, Mother Xian, I originally wanted to toast you concubines now." ”
When Concubine De heard this, she despised Concubine Xian and said: "Princess Qin is the daughter of the prime minister, and the rules are very good." Concubine Xian, can you not feel that your majesty as a concubine has been provoked just because Princess Qin was the first to toast Concubine Jiang Shu! ”
Concubine Xian said with a dark face: "This palace will not be like this." ”
"Okay, you are all elders, and in front of the younger generations, you are still making noise and laughing in front of some selfish desires."
The Queen Mother opened her mouth with a cold face, even if the concubines wanted to mix and say anything to the virtuous concubine, they had to keep their mouths shut.
Jiang Qiyan immediately said to the Queen Mother: "Don't be angry, the imperial grandmother, you concubines just want to drink." ”
The emperor had already shifted his attention and said calmly: "Since you want to drink, then directly ask the palace maid next to you to add a drink." ”
As soon as his words fell, the other concubines immediately chimed in.
Soon in front of the emperor, a happy sisterly friendship was revealed.
Jiang Qiyan laughed in her heart, but she toasted one by one on her face.
Soon arrived in front of Wei Yechen's mother, Mrs. Yurong.
She looked at the cold and arrogant woman in front of her, who was as independent as the empty valley orchid, and picked up the wine cup and said some witty words.
But he didn't get the slightest joy from Mrs. Yurong.
Jiang Qiyan's face remained unchanged, and she toasted directly and returned to her seat.
At this time, the eldest princess of Yongan still did not come back.
The lady present did not mention it for whatever purpose.
Jiang Qiyan focused on observing the ladies who were familiar with the eldest princess of Yong'an, and saw that their expressions were unwavering, and her heart trembled.
The eldest princess of Yong'an was quite loved by the first emperor, and the women she came into contact with were the most noble nobles in the imperial city.
After more than 20 years of absence, the eldest princess of Yong'an is back again, they shouldn't be so cold!
