The old lady of the Bai family celebrated her birthday and held a feast in the pear orchard by the Taihu Lake, the pear orchard is a manor of the Bai family, covering an area of 100 acres, and the clear water pond in the garden is connected with the Taihu Lake outside.

In addition to the eaves of the house, a bamboo forest guest courtyard was also built in Qingshui Pond

As the name suggests, the Bamboo Forest Keqing Courtyard is a flowing water table in a bamboo forest, and only the Bai family can enter it, and this is the first time to invite guests to the outside world.

Most of the guests at the banquet were princes and nobles in the court.

In addition to the imperial chef of the palace, the famous chef of half of the capital is also invited, and the people are talking about it, and the birthday of this old lady is almost better than that of the queen mother.

Some people in the crowd even directly said that the status of the Bai family is different from the past, and it is becoming more and more noble, otherwise it would not be so extravagant and wasteful.

On the Bai family's side, some people are happy and some people are worried, General Bai has prepared a plan and is just waiting for Princess Zhaoyang to come over.

The birthday star, Mrs. Bai, was not happy, she sat in the room with her daughter Bai Zixuan, and the hatred on her face was exposed!

That woman killed her daughter, and her husband still greeted her with a smile, it was impossible!

She also prepared a good glass of wine, and waited for the woman to enter the door, and sent her to the underworld in one fell swoop.

"Bai Fu, is everything ready?" Her cold eyes looked at Bai Fu, the white housekeeper who came over to talk to her.

Bai Fu nodded and pinched her shoulder, "The little one did as you ordered, soaked the glass wine cup with thick venom for two days and two nights, and arranged water ghosts in the clear water pool, so as to ensure that Princess Zhaoyang would definitely die......"

Before he finished speaking, the old lady suddenly became angry, turned around and slapped him, slapped him in a daze, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"In the future, in front of me, call her a slut, do you hear?" Old Madam Bai said viciously.

"Yes, the little one heard, make sure that slut doesn't come back!" Bai Fu hurriedly said.

At this time, the maid came to say that the guests had come, and General Bai asked her to go to the garden to receive the distinguished guests with the general.

"You watch the timing well, this time it's messed up, and you're going to drink with that cup!" Before Mrs. Bai left, she said coldly again.

On the side of the pear orchard, Concubine Bai Shufei sat in a carriage made of gold and stopped at the gate of the pear garden, what she was wearing on her body and on her head was also very luxurious, and the Bai family came to the door to greet her in person.

Only then did he welcome her in, and Qin Nianbai and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.

The prince got out of the carriage, followed by two subordinates dressed in black.

He wore a beige gold-rimmed python robe, with a crown of white jade hair on his head, very low-key, if he didn't know that the official reported that the person was the prince, ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to recognize it.

Qin Nianbai was helped down by Xiaoqing and the palace maid Xiu'er, followed by seven or eight palace maids.

She wore a set of aqua blue rose thorn skirts, a royal blue embroidered royal blue phoenix brocade robe with flying sky, her hair was pulled up high, and she simply wore a phoenix with a silver green jade tassel on the bottom, and only a pair of jasper dripping pendants on her ears.

It complements a blue dress with a pair of blue clothes, and contrasts sharply with the jewels of the white lady who has just arrived.

Let the sons of the family outside take a glimpse, Bai Fan was also shocked by her clean and dusty temperament!

Bai Fan stepped forward and bowed his hand politely, "Your Highness Zhaoyang, I'm tired all the way, please!" He smiled and held out his hand.

Qin Nianbai just smiled and nodded, and walked in with his head held high, with Xiao Qing and the other palace maids following behind.

Bai Fan led her all the way through the main entrance.

She was puzzled when she came in, from the outside, it was just an ordinary garden, but the inside was decorated with gold and splendor, comparable to a royal palace.

When the little people who came and went saw them coming, they all quickly knelt down to make way.

Bai Fan saw Qin Nianbai's expression a little curious, thinking that she suspected that it was the garden obtained by the Bai family's corruption and bribery, so she took the initiative to explain this garden.

"This garden was given to my great-grandfather by the Immortal Emperor, and the renovation inside was the money for my grandmother's caravan management outside, and there was no embezzlement of a copper plate from the royal family, and it was not invited to develop outside in the past, this is the first time ......"

Qin Nianbai didn't speak, he smiled again, but he had other thoughts in his heart, he didn't invite outsiders in the past, why did he invite him this time?

This garden is like the ambition of the Bai family, it was originally hidden left and right, but now it is simply not hidden, and it is really about to act.

He Yan said that the Bai family would rebel on the day Bai Fan married him, and he always felt that He Yan needed to do something for himself, but he didn't say it.

Walk through the spacious avenue of neat maidservants standing on both sides, and walk into a bamboo forest path, where maidservants are still standing on both sides.

After a short time, I finally came to the open area, and a water plank road extended to a spacious and chic, elegantly decorated, hanging blue and white interwoven green silk veils, carved beams and painted pillars of the water pavilion.

The two walked across the water plank road, approached the pavilion, which was a meandering flowing water mat, there were already more than 30 people sitting, talking and laughing, visually, this elegant and chic pavilion is enough to accommodate about 100 people. Jing Ai Books

The pool below the pavilion opens onto the Taihu Lake outside, and at the end of the lake, there are only gray starry houses......

Bai Fan saw that she was attracted by the scenery of the garden all the way, so he unconsciously watched her all the way, but unfortunately, they were not all the way!

"His Royal Highness Zhaoyang has arrived~" The slender voice of the ceremonial official standing outside the pavilion shouted.

The children of the family inside, all the ministers stood up, bowed their heads and bowed their hands, waiting for her to come in.

She walked in dignifiedly, raised her hand to signal everyone to be exempt, at this time, anyone who raised her head, not only all the men's eyes were attracted by her, but even several noble ladies were also jealous.

Qin Nianbai sat on the distinguished table in front of him, and Xiaoqing consciously took the palace maid to the table behind the veil and sat down.

This rule, Xiao Qing inquired clearly early in the morning, for fear that Qin Nianbai would be laughed at.

Concubine Bai Shu, who was sitting in front of Qin Nianbai, saw her dressed like this, and stole her own limelight, and glanced at Qin Nianbai fiercely.

But he shouted with a smile: "Zhaoyang is here, Fan'er, greet Your Highness well, and the palace will not go!" ”

Qin Nianbai simply said hello, and Bai Fan also nodded politely.

"You said, this colt has been in the sky for a few months, and Her Royal Highness the princess should also find a colt again, I don't know who can have this blessing!"

The son of the Zhou family in the Sanpin Cabinet said with a sigh, although Princess Zhaoyang is a widow, but it is true that the emperor and the queen mother's top treasures, people of ordinary status, must not be worthy, even his son of a third-grade master, he does not dare to think about it!

Zheng Gongzi, the son of Zheng Guogong next to him, also said with a smile: "I heard that she has a son with a concubine, this identity is a little noble, but with this, you and I still have a chance!" ”

If you haven't seen Qin Nianbai's appearance, you only heard that she is a widow and has a child, it is estimated that they will all scoff at her, but now that they see it, this garden full of vulgar fans can't compare to her.

"My mother mentioned Princess Zhaoyang, she is a smart and clever person who can run the family, and after two years, I will ask my father Jiang Guogong to propose marriage!" Jiang Cheng, the son of Jiang Guogong, looked at Qin Nianbai's direction with his eyes inseparable, and said beautifully.

These remarks were heard clearly by Qin Nianbai and Bai Fan, who were sitting at the front.

Qin Nianbai sat in the pile of men for the first time, and he didn't think there was anything, after all, they were all praising her, and the ladies who sat below him used to say that she was not.

Bai Fan, who was sitting opposite her, had a bad face, he seemed to be a little disgusted that other men coveted Princess Zhaoyang, and saw the murderous aura in the eyes of those sons of the family.

At this time, the official reported again, Mrs. Bai said, the juniors all stood up to greet them, thinking that out of respect, Qin Nianbai did not get up, she was in the army, and the Bai family was a minister, so naturally there was no reason to get up.

Old Madam Bai walked past Qin Nianbai, looked at her with a vicious look in her eyes, and sat down beside Concubine Bai Shu.

……

Then, the guests arrived, General Bai and the crown prince also arrived, the prince sat on the main seat in the middle, General Bai sat on his right, and Li Jae-fu sat on the left side of the prince with a little blue face.

Everyone knows that the right side is respected, but General Bai deliberately arranged him on the left side of the prince, which made him very uncomfortable.

"General Bai, you and I are in the opposite position!" Master Li snorted coldly, touched his beard and said.

"You can sit in whatever position you want, you can't be wrong!" General Bai said with a mocking smile, he had already calculated that in front of so many people today, Master Li would not dare to tear his face with him.

Sure enough, Master Li snorted coldly and took a sip of stuffy wine and didn't speak.

The feast officially began, and the ceremonial officials began to come over to read the congratulatory gift lists of the adults and nobles.

According to the rules, if you don't finish reading a family, Old Lady Bai or General Bai will have a glass of wine with her.

The previous reading was that the men attended, and it was General Bai who came forward, and each family took a small sip as a courtesy.

Next, when the ladies attended, Mrs. Bai would accompany the toast.

Reading a Wen family, a daughter wearing a pink Luo Qun, with a silver hairpin on her head and a flower hairpin, stood up, and she was also very pure and beautiful, but it was a little inferior to Qin Nianbai, and it also attracted other attention.

She walked out politely, knelt down respectfully, and her voice like a silver bell sounded, "Wen Li'er, the daughter of the general of the Sanpin Town General Wenmingkuan, pays a birthday greeting to the old lady Bai, and wishes the old lady happiness and ...... the east."

"This is the daughter of the Wen family, why haven't I seen it before, it looks good, but His Royal Highness Zhaoyang is here, and she can't be in the limelight!" The son of the Zhou family of the Sanpin Cabinet said with a smile.

"Shhh, what kind of occasion is this, don't talk about it, her identity can't be compared with His Royal Highness Zhaoyang!" Jiang Cheng glanced at Qin Nianbai, who was dignified and elegant, and said confidently.

At this moment, as soon as Wen Li'er's words were finished, Old Madam Bai smiled and came down to help her up, and took off the mutton fat white jade bracelet that she had worn on her wrist for many years and put it on Wen Li'er's hand.

Holding Wen Lier's hand, with a smile on her face, "Good boy, as soon as I saw you, my heart disease for many years has been cured, and in the future, I don't know if that kid is blessed to marry you!" ”

Wen Li'er's face was a little red shyly, she lowered her head, and couldn't help but glance in Bai Fan's direction with her spare eyes, "Madam, don't make fun of the little girl!" ”
