After a stick of incense, the maids in the house gradually served the dishes.
Maybe these maids in the house also noticed the strange atmosphere in the side hall at this moment, for fear of being implicated, and quickly evacuated the side hall after the dishes were ready.
As the family commander of the Su Palace, Lu'er originally wanted to stay in the side hall for a while, but she thought about it carefully, anyway, the "Princess Su" no longer had her share of Miss Su, so what was she doing in the side hall? So she also left very simply, leaving only Zhao Hongrun and a few female dependents sitting in the side hall with wide eyes and staring.
At this time, in the side hall, Zhao Hongrun sat at the narrow end of the long table, and there was a finch sitting next to him who seemed to have nothing to do with himself.
In front of him, Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang sat face to face, one seemed to be smiling, the other was expressionless, so frightened that Miss Su and the two daughters of Yangyu Xing did not dare to approach them, and sat at the other end of the long table across a seat.
Although the wine and food have been on the table for dozens of breaths, the few people present, let alone moving chopsticks, don't seem to have any interest in speaking, which makes the atmosphere extremely cold.
Zhao Hongrun: "What an embarrassing atmosphere......
Sheep's tongue apricot: "Wow, that's scary. Sister Mi Jiang is, and so is the sister from the Qin Kingdom, I don't dare to speak."
Una: "Well, this one looks delicious, and that one looks delicious. My mother-in-law taught me to know how to be polite, and I couldn't serve anything delicious to my bowl, so ...... Which one will you eat first?'
Miss Su: "Alas, I was the first to come, but today I have to watch these two sisters fight here......
Sparrow: "......"
After a stalemate for a while, Zhao Hongrun coughed and broke the deadlock: "That...... Why don't you have a drink first? β
His words were immediately agreed by Miss Su, Yangyu Xing, and Una, after all, they also felt that the atmosphere in the side hall was awkward, which made them feel like they were on pins and needles.
Under Zhao Hongrun's gaze, Que'er sat up straight, and after pouring the wine for Zhao Hongrun, he poured a glass for Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang each, as for Miss Su, Sheep's Tongue Apricot, and Una, they had their own wine jugs in front of them, and they had already filled them themselves.
In the Central Plains, there has always been a custom of toasting words, simply put, when a banquet is held, the host or the head of the family will deliver a speech with wine, and briefly explain the meaning of today's feast.
For example, Wei Tianzi will say "make the country and the people safe", and some family heads will say "make the family prosperous", which is actually of little significance, it is nothing more than some expectations for good things.
But because of this custom, all the women in the side hall looked at Zhao Hongrun intently, including Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang - after all, Zhao Hongrun is the head of the family of Suwangfu, according to the customs of the Central Plains, before he has a toast, others are not allowed to move chopsticks.
But at this moment, looking at the tense appearance of Qin Shaojun and Qi Jiang, Zhao Hongrun was in any mood to toast, even if he was as smart as him, he didn't know what to say at the moment with a wine cup.
Say that you hope that Wei will become richer and stronger? Or do you want the palace to prosper day by day? It doesn't feel right.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun finally said: "May the Qi family be harmonious and not separated." β¦β¦ Come, this king will give you a drink. β
Naturally, the girls would not fail to give Zhao Hongrun face, and they all raised their wine cups and took a sip.
After putting down the wine cup, the eyes of Miss Su, Sheep's Tongue Xing, and Una all turned to Qin Shaojun and Qi Jiang.
They are not stupid, of course they can guess that Zhao Hongrun is hinting at Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang.
Glancing at Zhao Hongrun, and then at Mi Jiang, Qin Shaojun's tense face gradually eased, showed a little smile, and said with a wine cup: "I am a later, I would like to give a glass to my sisters." β
Qi Jiang also glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and said expressionlessly in her usual cold tone: "There is no such thing as coming first and coming first. β
Saying that, she also saluted Qin Shaojun in return, and in the end, she and Qin Shaojun exchanged a sip, which made Zhao Hongrun, Miss Su, and Yang Yu Xing, who were watching from the sidelines, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good to get acquainted with each other." may be that the atmosphere present is still quite embarrassing, Zhao Hongrun said in a round game: "I have already introduced Ying Ying, right now, Ying Ying, let me introduce it to you." β
As he spoke, he raised his hand to Miss Su and said with a slight vagueness: "Ran'er was the first to follow this king, and she is older than you, so you can call her sister in the future." β
"I don't want to introduce my background...... What?'
Qin Shaojun glanced at Miss Su, and secretly thought in his heart: This woman was the first to follow Ji Run, that is to say, she was Ji Run's first woman, but this woman has not yet earned the title of Princess Su, obviously, this is because this woman's background is not qualified.
A woman like this is destined to be the fate of the concubine, and Qin Shaojun naturally has no reason to offend her - after all, she can tell from Zhao Hongrun's tone that the latter seems to be quite fond of this older woman.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaojun called out kindly, "Sister Su." β
Seeing that Qin Shaojun really called herself her sister, Miss Su couldn't help but be a little flattered, and waved her hand again and again in fear, after all, the one who called her sister was the princess of the Qin Kingdom.
"When she calls you, you admit that you are indeed the oldest among you, and it is not wrong for them to call you sister." Zhao Hongrun smiled and comforted Miss Su.
Hearing this, Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang's hearts both moved slightly.
I believe that among the women present, except for Una, who is still thinking about the dishes on the table, I believe that the rest of the thoughtful women have heard Zhao Hongrun's voice.
Yes, this is also the purpose of Zhao Hongrun's deliberate remarks - as his first woman, Miss Su's background is not good, so for various reasons, Zhao Hongrun can't give her the title of the main room, but he can set up rules in advance, so that Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang may become the main room of Princess Su in the future, and call Miss Su her sister instead, the meaning is self-evident.
Obviously, Miss Su also guessed this meaning, Fang put her hands on her chest, looked at Zhao Hongrun with a radiant look, and her eyes revealed a strong touch and friendship: Runlang did not forget the slave family after all.
And in this regard, Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang did not have the slightest objection, because Miss Su didn't look like a threatening woman no matter how she looked at it, and she couldn't threaten them at all - when they understood Miss Su's character in the future, I believe they wouldn't care even more.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun had already raised his hand to Yangyu Xing and introduced: "Xing'er, the daughter of Shangshui Yangyu, followed the king's "little lady" when she was a teenager, and now the family in the palace is all handled by Xing'er...... But Apricot is young, so you can just call her sister. β
After Zhao Hongrun's words were finished, the sheep's tongue apricot, who was shy because she was called "little lady" by the former, preemptively called Qin Shaojun: "Sister Win, I am Xing'er." β
After taking a deep look at the sheep's tongue apricot, Qin Shaojun concluded in his heart: Although this woman is in charge of the family affairs of King Su's mansion, it is obvious that this woman will not be a threat.
"Sister Xing'er, please give me a lot of advice in the future." Qin Shaojun replied kindly.
After that, Zhao Hongrun introduced Una again: "Una is the daughter of the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe of the Sanchuan Shan tribe......"
Before Zhao Hongrun finished his introduction, Una said with a smile: "Sister Shaojun will call me Una in the future." β
"This woman won't be a threat either......
Qin Shaojun saw through Una's straightforward personality at a glance, and responded with a smile.
In the end, Zhao Hongrun's finger pointed at Mi Jiang, and he introduced in a deliberate tone: "Mi Jiang, the younger brother of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, the eldest daughter of Lord Xiong Hao, Jun of Runan, and the cousin of Xiong Tuo, Jun of Xuancheng......"
γβ¦β¦γ
Qin Shaojun's complexion changed slightly, she had long felt that Mi Jiang's life experience was by no means simple, but she didn't expect it to be the niece of King Chu.
However, in addition to being frightened, she was also slightly relieved in her heart: the niece of the King of Chu, compared with the daughter of the King of Qin, is still a little weaker after all, right?
It's no wonder that Qin Shaojun has such thoughts, because she is far away in the Qin State and hardly knows much about the affairs of the Chu State.
You must know that the focus of Zhao Hongrun's introduction to Mi Jiang is not at all "Mi Jiang is the niece of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu", but that Mi Jiang is "the eldest daughter of Xiong Hao, Jun of Runan, and the younger sister of Xiong Tuo, Jun of Xuancheng".
Who is Runan Jun Xiong Hao?
That was the head of the "Three Pillars" of the Chu State and the "Shouling Jun Jingshe" and "Xiling Jun Qu Ping" on an equal footing, and was the "King of the King" who ruled the great land of Chu West, in that era, the virtuous name of Xiong Hao, the king of Runan, was even louder than that of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, so that in the end, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, had to acquiesce to the nobles of Chu who were extremely dissatisfied with the policy of improving the status of commoners of Runan Jun Xiong Hao, and united to eradicate this great sage of Chu - Xiong Hao, the king of Chu, and once threatened the existence of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu.
And who is Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng?
That is the current Chu State is very likely to become the next King of Chu Prince of Chu, once this person becomes the King of Chu, his sister Mi Jiang, who he values, will immediately become the eldest princess of Chu State, this status will not be inferior to Qin Shaojun in the slightest.
However, Zhao Hongrun didn't explain too much, because this only caused more and more confrontation between Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang.
"The main reason why I have set up this feast today is to let you get to know each other first. That's the case, today I have something to do in the palace, and I met my mother, and my mother intends to invite you to Ningxiang Palace for dinner tomorrow......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was slightly warmed up in the side hall, as if it had condensed all of a sudden, whether it was Qin Shaojun or Qi Jiang, they all showed a solemn look at this time.
The women are not stupid, where would they not guess, at this time, Concubine Shen Shufei invited their daughters to Ningxiang Palace, it was only possible for one thing.
That is, the belonging of "Princess Su"!
