Chapter 981: Going to the Banquet
After reading the letter sent by Xiao Rui, Xie Mulin's feelings in his heart were really complicated.
The dispute between the crown prince and the second prince, which has lasted for several years, seems to have finally come to a conclusion, but the two parties have not come to a good conclusion.
The third prince has always secretly wanted to get involved in the succession, and he had calculated the crown prince and the second prince a few times before, and it worked, but he didn't get any benefits, and now he has lost his favor. In order to regain the favor of the imperial father, even if he rejected the marriage of the Lan family in every way, now he has changed his previous coldness and become courteous. But Lan knew in his heart what he was thinking, how could he really be confused by his words and deeds temporarily?
The fourth prince seems to be the most promising prince to become the final winner, and he has never made a mistake, even Qiao Meiren, the biological mother who was originally a short board, has recently stopped and no longer dragged her son back, and it seems that the situation is getting better. However, the emperor now has a new favorite, and it seems that it is possible to slap Qiao Meiren, the once favored former wave, on the beach at any time, and there may be five or six princes born at any time. Who can say for sure that the four princes will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the prince in the future?
The royal nobles, princes and nobles, civil and military officials, have been fighting for so many years, and this is such a result, I really don't know what to say. I'm afraid that this struggle will continue for a long time, and no one dares to say what the future will look like until the day when the new monarch succeeds to the throne.
Xie Mulin put the letter away again, put on the thick coat he had gone out, and went to the main room to deliver a message to his parents. The news she heard from Xiao Rui may not be of much use to the Wen family, but it is more important to Xie Pu. He is an official of the imperial court, although he is currently working under the hands of King Yan, but in the final analysis, he still has to obey the appointment of the emperor and the imperial court. Knowing more about the DPRK's message will help him make certain choices in the future.
When he looked at the courtyard of the third sister Xie Yingrong next door at the gate of the courtyard, Xie Mulin paused at his feet. She remembered that the reborn third sister had unconsciously revealed the information that the third prince was the winner of the future battle for succession. But in the current situation, how do the three princes think about it, why is he not dominant, and why did he win in the end? Could it be that something will go wrong with the four princes in the future? What kind of accident should not have happened, so that it is impossible to save immediately?
Yesterday, when Xiao Rui was eating laba porridge at the Xie family, he said so much news about the Cao family and the royal family, and Xie Yingrong's face didn't show much abnormality, and it didn't seem to be much different from what she had experienced in her previous life. So what will ultimately lead to the reversal of the situation?
When Xie Pu received the news brought by his daughter, although he was a little surprised, he was not much shocked. He also had access to this information, but he didn't get it that quickly. There is a prince of Yanwangfu as a future son-in-law, and the son-in-law has a good relationship with his daughter, which really has a lot of benefits. Xie Pu smiled, and after reading the content of the letter, he handed it back to his daughter: "Okay, I know it in my heart." You can rest assured that no matter what the situation in Beijing is, it will not affect Beiping. β
Wen asked him softly, "Where is Cao...... Xianzhi and Sister Hui are very worried. Are you sure the guys in the family will lend a hand? They are all people who have suffered the losses of the Cao family, but they are afraid that they will inevitably have resentment in their hearts. β
Xie Pu smiled: "Isn't it normal to have resentment?" Anyway, it won't make her lose her life. All the people under my command are decent people, if they are really not right-minded, they would have abandoned me a long time ago, how can they stay until today? Even if such a person has resentment in his heart, he will not do anything to Cao Shuqing, at most he will say some cool words, ridicule a few words, or send her some cold dishes and cold rice. Compared with the hardships that our Xie family has suffered, what is this grievance? If Cao Shuqing really intends to rely on our Xie family to live, she will no longer be able to put on the shelf of the princess's daughter. Three or five taels of silver a month, and one more girl to wait, this is already very good. If she is not satisfied, it is a big deal to go back and receive the support of their Cao family, maybe she will be more willing? The choice she made herself, and outsiders can't blame Xianzhi and Sister Hui'er. β
Xie Pu's attitude is here, even if he loves his eldest son and eldest daughter, he will not treat his ex-wife Cao Shuqing any more. Wen no longer persuaded him, but turned his head and instructed his daughter: "Go back and change your clothes." It's not too early, we're going to leave for the banquet at King Yan's Mansion in an hour, but don't delay. β
Xie Mulin answered and retreated.
This banquet in Yanwang's Mansion is a big banquet, but because the guest of honor is the daughter of the Yuan family, the families of other officials are just accompanying guests, so it is naturally not good to steal the limelight of the protagonist. Xie Mulin and his sisters all wore newly made embroidered silk jackets, heavy silk horse-faced skirts of different colors, and wore chic but not complicated red gold and gem-encrusted heads, followed closely behind their parents and brothers, who were also dressed up, and rode in a carriage to the Yanwang Mansion for a banquet. On the same street, except for the Zhou family, who kept filial piety, every family had people go out to get into the carriage and walk together. Even if Mrs. Wan is sick, Senator Wan will attend the meeting with her two sons. It's just that without the leadership of her mother, the two girls from the Wan family were absent under the pretext of serving their mother.
Hundreds of carriages lined up in two long lines, passing in front of the gate of the Zhou family's official residence and heading in the direction of the Yan Wang's Mansion. The Zhou family had already put away the heavy white flags in front of the door, and only the two huge white lanterns hanging under the eaves were left. Several male servants in the concierge with filial piety belts at their waists watched Che Long pass by with their hands in their hands, their eyes complicated. One of them turned around and went into the mansion, and I don't know if he reported it to his master's house. After the car dragon had completely passed, the man returned to the door again, and there was already a clear five-finger slap mark on his face. Seeing this, the other porters avoided it for a few minutes, and no one stepped forward to comfort him.
Xie Mulin and the others naturally didn't know about this little episode that happened behind them. This was the first time the four sisters had attended a large banquet together, and there were some things that needed to be instructed a few more times. Xie Yingfen has always been a well-behaved and trouble-free sister, even if she goes to a strange place, there shouldn't be any big problems. The key is the third sister Xie Yingrong, she has always liked to be smart and do things that make people speechless. Although she has now got what she wants and married Wan Long, judging from her recent enthusiasm for showing her words and deeds in front of others, she may not really be honest. If something happens to her at the banquet in Yanwang's Mansion, it will really be a shame for the Xie family!
Therefore, Xie Yinghui, as the eldest sister, ordered Xie Yingrong very seriously: "Today, you will honestly follow me and my second sister, and you are not allowed to walk anywhere!" No one is allowed to deal with it! You are also not allowed to say something to others, and take the opportunity to show yourself. If you want to leave the table to relieve yourself or something, don't go alone! No matter which of our sisters it is, at least one of us must go with you, and you have to call two more girls from Yanwangfu. Remember, it's two! If only one person asks you to leave, it is not enough, it has to be two! If you can't find enough people, just tell your second sister, she naturally has a way to find someone! Xie Yinghui believes that the subordinates of the Yan Wangfu will not give his little prince the face of the future main room.
Xie Yingrong didn't know about this, but felt that the eldest sister was very verbose: "I'm not a three-year-old child, what are I doing when I have nothing to do?" I also want to see a few more dignitaries! "It's a pity in my heart that Wan Jia only went to Senator Wan and the two young masters, and without Wan Long's share, she couldn't take the opportunity to meet her fiancΓ©. Mrs. Wan and the two sisters-in-law Wan were absent from the banquet again, and she didn't even have the opportunity to please her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law, what a pity!
Xie Yinghui frowned, glanced at Xie Mulin, and couldn't put her mind at ease with the third sister no matter what.
