Chapter 92: Flower Viewing Feast

Empress Wei's question, Zheng Jin had already thought of it. He smiled meaningfully, and replied slowly, "It's better to be young." If you really reach the marriageable age, it is really difficult to find a reason to invite the Mu family's daughters into the palace. We asked Duchess An Guo to take Miss Mu into the palace to play, not to go on a blind date. ”

"Play?" Empress Wei was slightly stunned, "You mean, please ask Duchess An Guo to bring Miss Mu into the palace to play?" ”

"Yes," Zheng Jin smiled and nodded, "The queen mother personally presided over the flower-viewing banquet, such a big bustle, isn't it natural to invite relatives into the palace to come and see?" Duchess An Guo is the daughter of Prince Li, and we can be regarded as serious relatives! It's a relative, it's better to move around more, isn't it? Last year's Mangzhong Festival, the eldest sister held a flower-viewing banquet in the princess's mansion, and An Guogong attended it with his family. ”

"yes!" Empress Wei immediately understood and nodded: "It's good for relatives to move around more." At that time, you can also invite more clan girls into the palace, and whoever can please the Duchess of Anguo will be their creation. ”

"The queen mother is wise." Zheng Jin echoed with a smile, "Mu Jingluo's eldest son will soon return to Beijing to choose a wife, and in two years, Grandpa Mu will also choose a wife." The royal family cannot interfere with the marriage of the children of the Mu family, and what kind of daughter-in-law the son of the Mu family wants to marry, the royal family can not say. However, Duchess An Guo was born in a clan, and no one can care about our clan nobles to please the elders of their clan. ”

"Then it's settled." Empress Wei looked at Zheng Jin with a hint of pride, "My son is really brilliant, except for your father and emperor, no one can match you." ”

Zheng Jin naturally knew that the "who" in Empress Wei's mouth was referring to that one. He shook his head lightly at Empress Wei and said, "Fifth brother is no worse than Erchen. What Erchen can think of, he can naturally think of. ”

"In short, the idea of inviting Duchess An Guo to bring her daughter into the palace is you," Empress Wei said with a smile, "Your father will be happy to hear it, and I will mention it to him tonight." ”

"The fifth brother went out of the palace to visit the lake in private, and he had to trouble the queen mother not to mention it in front of his father," Zheng Jin added, "Such a small matter with a big sesame seed, there is no need to alarm the father, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Don't worry," Empress Wei nodded, "This palace has its own measure. ”

That night, Empress Wei really mentioned to the emperor about holding a flower-viewing banquet, and by the way, she also mentioned inviting Duchess An Guo to bring her daughter into the palace, of course, Empress Wei did not forget to emphasize that this was Zheng Jin's idea.

The emperor was noncommittal, and only said that Empress Wei would watch it. In late April, as soon as the birthday of the sixth prince passed, Empress Wei passed the decree of holding a flower-viewing banquet in the palace.

Almost all the noble families in Beijing have received invitations, and the Xie family and the Gu family are naturally among the invited. In fact, all the families know the purpose of the queen's purpose, and the unmarried women are invited to the flower viewing palace banquet, and the queen's mother is about to see the concubine for the five princes and the six princes.

The fifth prince and the sixth prince are all handsome and outstanding, and the two princes are now eighteen years old, but they are so clean that they don't even have a concubine, and they are really the best son-in-law candidates for a once-in-a-century time. Most of the noble ladies of the family who have seen the two princes will inevitably have expectations for such an outstanding prince, such as Li Yunzheng.

Therefore, as soon as the queen's decree arrived, all the families were busy preparing, making clothes, playing jewelry, or temporarily inviting the master and grandmother to go home to train the girls' palace etiquette and talents, and it seemed that the whole capital was busy with the upcoming flower-viewing palace banquet.

Gu University's Scholar's Mansion and Xie Xiang's Mansion are naturally not exempt from vulgarity. Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan were both invited, so these days, they were all detained at home by the elders to prepare, and they had no time to take care of him, and they didn't even have time to make gifts for Mu Hongsheng every once in a while, as in the past, and could only occasionally write a letter and send it to the Anguo Mansion.

The only girl in the capital who was invited but looked confused was probably Mu Hongshang. She was only thirteen years old a month away, and the blind date flower viewing banquet really had nothing to do with a little girl like her, but she just received an invitation.

The Anguo Mansion is not like other families in Beijing, but it received an invitation from the palace. Instead, Empress Wei sent a well-spoken little eunuch to the Duke of Anguo Mansion to spread the word, explaining the purpose of inviting the Duchess of An Guo and Mu Hongsheng clearly.

So...... With a confused face, Mu Hongshang looked at her mother-in-law with a calm face. The queen mother means to invite her and her mother to enter the palace...... Watch the excitement??

In short, the queen's invitation, of course, cannot be refused. Duchess An Guo nodded calmly, grabbed a handful of silver beads and gave the little inner eunuch as a reward, and the little inner eunuch happily returned to the palace to reply.

"Mother," Mu Hongsheng looked up at the expressionless Duchess of Anguo, "Are we really going?" ”

"The queen's decree, we can't resist it." Duchess An Guo replied.

"But why did the queen suddenly invite us into the palace," Mu Hongshang frowned, "The flower viewing banquet is not for the princes to see their daughters-in-law." Could it be that I want my mother to go and show my eldest brother by the way, but it should be the second uncle and mother entering the palace. Moreover, my grandmother said that the eldest brother's daughter-in-law wanted him to choose by himself. Also, didn't my father say that the emperor can't marry Mu, and also, what am I going to do, is it really going to play......"

"Alright!" Duchess An Guo interrupted her daughter's nagging in a gentle voice, "Children, don't worry so much." Since the queen said that she invited you to play, then you don't care about anything else, just play with yours, isn't it good to go into the palace and visit the imperial garden? It's better than being bored at home, right? ”

"Oh!" Mu Hongshang nodded obediently, she turned her head and thought about it, and then asked very uneasily, "Mother, I haven't been in the palace, do you want to invite a grandmother to teach me etiquette like Sister Gu and Sister Xie?" ”

"What do you learn to do?" Duchess An Guo looked at her daughter inexplicably, and Sen Sen felt that he couldn't keep up with the child's jumping thoughts, "You don't want to marry into the palace and be the princess." ”

"But don't you want to enter the palace," Mu Hongsheng's big eyes blinked, and she looked a little worried, "I want to see the emperor and the queen, I'm afraid that I will make a mistake and cause trouble for my father." ”

"Don't worry," Duchess An Guo gently touched her daughter's little face, "When the time comes, you will be like giving your grandmother a salute during the New Year to press the New Year's money, and you can follow your mother to ask the queen mother for peace." My daughter is so well-behaved, how can she cause trouble for her father. You'll never have to worry about that, with your dad and mom there, everything will be fine. ”
