Chapter 309: The Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet
Since Bai Cheng left, there has been no news, and it often takes three to five days before a message arrives.
It's just that Xiao Jue and Sheng Zi'an are not in a hurry, so they slowly wait for the news from Xirong.
Because of Yang Xiuting's good conditioning, Sheng Zi'an's body is getting better day by day, and there is finally some meat on his face.
With the spring flowers blooming, the days are getting warmer day by day, and it is time for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, which is one of the busiest times in Kyoto.
Before receiving the invitation, the entire prince's mansion began to prepare for the birthday gift of the queen mother. Originally, Xiao's preparations were nothing more than those old-fashioned things, but they were blocked by Sheng Zi'an.
She winked playfully and said to Xiao Jue:
"Since I am the mistress of your world's mansion, then leave the gift to me. Your Majesty, you can fool the past with that kind of expensive and ugly thing, but on the Queen Mother's side, we can't fool around anymore. ”
Xiao Jue hooked her nose and said, "What gift do you want to give to the imperial grandmother?" ”
He also had some expectations in his heart, and what different thoughts would his little lady with exquisite tricks would have.
However, Sheng Zi'an only smiled mysteriously and said, "The prince only needs to look at it, and the concubine will prepare all this." ”
Next, no matter how Xiao Jue asked, he didn't let go.
Anyway, Sheng Zi'an's body is a little better these days, so Xiao Jue will let her make trouble.
The most important thing in the prince's mansion is gold and silver treasures, and Xiao Jue is also willing to waste a little extravagance of his little lady.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and the ministers all came to the palace.
Just when there was a bustle in the crowd, there was a loud announcement from outside: "King Yu, the princess has arrived!" ”
As the hottest person in Kyoto, the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World certainly caused a sensation among the crowd.
I saw a slender man walk down from the carriage. A crescent white shirt set off his complexion like jade. That person was naturally depressed.
The girls in the crowd all showed the color of peach blossoms, such a man can really afford to be like a jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
And in front of everyone's eyes, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xiao Jue personally stretched out his hand and led the woman on the carriage down.
The woman on the carriage had even more delicate faces, and she was also dressed in crescent white, which made the two of them look like they didn't know how to get on the right board.
"Madame, please." Xiao Jue smiled slightly and said.
The two hands were shaken, and Sheng Zi'an got out of the carriage like this.
Looking at the intimacy of the two, there was a burst of detailed discussion in the crowd, and envy and jealousy abounded.
Soon, the people were all there.
The waists of the girls were full, and the natural timbre of the singers rippled in the court.
When all this is over, it's time to offer a birthday gift to the Queen Mother.
"On the Seven Princes' Mansion, a colorful night pearl!"
"On the Four Princes' Mansion, a pair of colorful koi!"
……
Finally, it was the turn of the prince's mansion, and the official frowned, and then read: "On the palace of King Yu, there is a glass palace lamp!" ”
Hearing the official's voice, the Queen Mother's face showed a strange and interested look, and said, "This palace lamp is common, but what is this glass novel?" ”
The ceremonial official immediately sent the glass palace lamp to the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother, this is the glass palace lamp." ”
Looking at the pure transparent color of the glass, the Queen Mother couldn't help but make friends again and again, and said: "Jue'er really has a heart, this glass, but the mourning family has never seen it in their lives." ”
Xiao Jue smiled slightly and said, "It's good if the imperial grandmother likes it." It's just that Jue'er didn't dare to ask for credit, this glass palace lamp was indeed not the handiwork of Jue'er, but by his wife. ”
The Queen Mother's expression was even more surprised, and she looked at Sheng Zi'an's expression with a little more surprise and admiration.
Her hand touched the smooth and warm touch of the glass, and said with a smile: "Zi'an is really exquisite, deserve to be rewarded, deserved." ”
As soon as the Queen Mother was happy, the gold, silver and jewelry went to the Shizi's Mansion shiningly.
Looking at these rewards, Sheng Zi'an's heart was a little uneasy, after all, what he gave was just a piece of glass.
In modern times, it is something that is universal, and it can no longer be popularized.
"You really prepared a big gift, that thing called glass, but I haven't even seen it for my husband." Xiao Jue whispered in Sheng Zi'an's ear.
Sheng Zi'an Xinzheng was even more helpless, her husband, could it be that she was eating the vinegar of the Queen Mother?
"If the prince likes it, the concubine doesn't mind letting the windows of our prince's mansion be filled with glass."
Sheng Zi'an said.
Xiao Jue was stunned, and finally smiled, this lady of his, always gave him such and such surprises.
After the gifts were given, the female and male guests had to come separately for the banquet.
After Xiao Jue told Sheng Zi'an a few words, he left for the venue of the male guest.
Although Sheng Zi'an is the princess, she doesn't like to talk to others, she just wants to find a quiet place to stay and wait until the banquet is over.
However, while she was sitting quietly drinking a drink, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Sheng Zi'an, listen to Sheng Hong'an, you actually let my father divorce my mother."
Sheng Zi'an raised his head and saw Sheng Qing'an's pot-bellied appearance in front of his eyes.
Sheng Qing'an, who was pregnant, completely lost her original appearance and became stout and vulgar.
Sheng Zi'an glanced at her contemptuously and said, "Sister, why are you confused?" ”
Looking at the faint smile on Sheng Zi'an's face, Sheng Qing'an was just angry.
Originally, Mrs. Qi, who found that there was no way to climb to the Shizi's Mansion after marrying Sheng Qing'an, was already 120,000 disgusted with Sheng Qing'an. And the news of Sheng Shangshu's divorce has come out, which makes the Qi family's subordinates look down on Sheng Qingan.
Originally, she was at least the eldest lady of the Sheng family, but now she has become the daughter of a cousin's wife, in the eyes of Mrs. Qi, such a woman is not qualified to marry into the Qi family at all.
These days, if it weren't for the sake of the child in Sheng Qing'an's belly, Sheng Qingan would have been unable to lie in bed for a long time.
Even if she has been pregnant for many months, she was also heavily abused by Mrs. Qi and looked at coldly by Qi Xuan.
Faced with his own predicament, Sheng Qingan blamed everything on Sheng Zi'an.
If it weren't for this little slut who asked Sheng Shangshu to divorce his mother, how could such a thing happen?
She gritted her teeth.
She waited for Sheng Zi'an and said, "You little slut, you are not small!" I'm going to teach you a good lesson for my mother today! ”
With that, the slap was raised.
Sheng Zi'an looked at her coldly, and Qingliu on the side had already grabbed her wrist.
The strength in Aoyagi's hand was so strong that Sheng Qingan groaned continuously.
"Sister, you are also a first-time wife, why is the discipline of the Qi family like this?" Sheng Zi'an roamed and roamed.
Mrs. Qi, who was trying to participate in the conversation of the noblewomen, saw the situation here at a glance at this time. Seeing that her daughter-in-law, who was not a weapon, dared to provoke the princess, she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, she directly took a few steps and slapped Sheng Qing'an's face.
"Smack!"
A loud slap fell, and the eyes of the ladies suddenly fell on Sheng Qingan's face.
However, Mrs. Qi didn't notice that in order to please the princess behind her, she said viciously to Sheng Qingan:
"You shameless little slut! Dare to be disrespectful to the princess and concubine! If it weren't for the sake of the child in your womb, I would have let the family law serve! ”
Everyone's mocking gaze made Sheng Qingan's face blue and red for a while.
But Sheng Zi'an smiled lazily, stood up, and ignored the two of them anymore.
On the other side, Xiao Jue was a piece of fragrant bun in the crowd, and everyone came up to chat with His Royal Highness the famous prince of the capital. And Xiao Jue also did not refuse to come, and his sister came over, and he was all smiling.
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
A wine glass stretched out in front of Xiao Jue, and the person holding the wine glass was the current queen's sister-in-law, the fourth prince.
The wine glass in Xiao Jue's hand touched him, and he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
"I wonder if His Royal Highness will be free in three days?" The fourth prince had a courteous smile on his face.
Xiao Jue smiled and said, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince commands?" ”
The fourth prince hesitated for a moment and said: "Three days later, there will be a banquet in my mansion, and many celebrities from Kyoto will come back at that time, and I hope that His Royal Highness the prince can also enjoy his face." ”
Xiao Jue smiled slightly, and before he could speak, another voice came: "Fourth brother, it's really unfortunate, three days later, there will be a banquet in my house, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World probably won't be able to go to you." ”
Looking at the voice, the person who came was really the Seven Princes.
"Seventh brother, what are these words, the prince hasn't said it yet, where are you going, why don't you have time to come to my house?" The four princes fought against each other, not giving the seventh prince face at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was instantly cold, Xiao Jue stood between the two with a smile, made a salute, and said, "The invitation of the two highnesses is definitely a great honor. It's just that Mrs. is sick and needs to recuperate. During this time, it is really difficult to leave the house. I'm so sorry, Your Highnesses. ”
The smiles on the faces of the fourth prince and the seventh prince were a little embarrassed, and in the end, it was the seventh prince who said: "Since it is the princess who is unwell, then forget it." I also hope that after the princess is better that day, the two of you will come together. ”
"That's nature." Xiao Jue said respectfully.
Then he left the two of them.
