(1st Update)

At noon, in front of the palace of the eldest princess of Yongning, which is located in Liquanfang, there is an endless stream of cars and horses, and the eunuchs wearing tea and red robes stand on the high platform in front of the door to roll names, and congratulatory gifts pour into the courtyard like flowing water.

The banquet hall that can accommodate hundreds of people is full, Yongning sits on the Baihua treasure couch directly above, wearing a palace dress made of silver and red red floating brocade, eighteen skirt curtains are gorgeous and indescribable, and a golden pearl the size of a dragon's eye on the top of the bun is particularly dazzling.

The seats in the hall are arranged in the word "冂", Yongning is located on that horizontal, and the east and west sides sit facing each other, each with three rows of seats, and each seat can sit three people.

The closest seat to Yongning is none other than Rong Qinghui, he only brought Xiao Mei and his eldest daughter Rong Yuan'er to attend, a family of three sat together, Rong Qinghui's appearance was too gentle and handsome, although the delicate Xiao Mei and Rong Yuan'er were reduced to foils, but they wore a one-color Tianshui Bisi silk coat, which looked very harmonious.

It's just that Rong Qinghui seemed a little absent-minded, glancing outside the hall door from time to time, as if he was looking forward to someone coming. Xiao Mei clearly noticed his actions, and pretended not to see it, and laughed with Rong Yuan'er.

Opposite Rong Qinghui sat Li Xunzhen, the eldest princess of Huayang, who was of the same generation as him, and she was also dressed up brilliantly today, and her beautiful appearance directly pressed the female guests in the entire banquet hall into a dull one.

Below Huayang sat Zou Enji, the prince of Huayin, and his concubine Mei, the couple were only in their twenties, and they didn't seem to match anything except their age.

Zou Shizi is not tall and thin, with slightly convex cheekbones and sunken eye sockets, and he looks not very energetic, while Mei's appearance is much more outstanding than her sister Xiao Mei's.

Zou Enyi, the little son of the Huayin Marquis Mansion, sat beside his brother and sister-in-law, he was just over sixteen years old this year, and he was not tall, but his appearance was fresh and handsome, and he was more decent than Zou Enji, a serious son.

He Qiong took Zhan Youjing to sit in a position that did not move forward or backward, and across a few seats, she glanced at the little prince of the Hou Mansion who almost became her son-in-law, and felt a pity in her heart, and asked Zhan Youjing in a low voice: "Jing'er, do you really regret it?" ”

Zhan Youjing shook her head slowly but firmly, and glanced at Zou Enyi who didn't look at her at all.

In the morning, they left Li Lingyou's princess's mansion and went straight to Yongning's birthday banquet, not to kowtow and confess, but to make up their minds to divorce the Huayin Marquis Mansion.

At this moment, everyone was holding Huayang and laughing, there was a noisy blowing sound outside, and the red-clothed eunuch ran in to report the good news, it turned out that the two queen mothers in the palace sent someone to give gifts.

Everyone got up one after another, listened to the red-clothed eunuch reciting a thick list of gifts, and watched a group of palace mermaids rushing in, holding red silk trays in their hands, on which were placed all kinds of rare gold, silver, jade, jewelry, spices, and silk satin, which were more than ten times richer than the rewards of previous years.

Everyone was speechless, but they also knew the reason, since the Great Liang destroyed the Qiang State, the treasury is not what it used to be, and the two queen mothers naturally want to show their royal style with great fanfare, not to mention that this is also making face for the eldest princess of Yongning for the queen mother who is far away in Luodu, why not do it.

Seeing Yongning's red face, the pride was overflowing, and Mei was the first to flatter: "The two queen mothers should really feel sorry for the eldest princess, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother." ”

Huayang said angrily: "The queen mother has never been so attentive to me, my own daughter." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Only He Qiong's mother and daughter are cold for Li Lingyu, they are also the sisters of the first emperor, one sacrificed herself for the country for 14 years, and when she returned, she was silent, and she didn't even have a decent reception banquet in the palace.

Yongning raised his glass to the direction of the palace and thanked the two queen mothers, sat down with a smile, looked around the banquet, swept the taciturn He Qiong's mother and daughter, smiled, turned to the three people of the Hou Mansion sitting under Huayang, looked at the young and outstanding Zou Enyi, and asked Mei:

"The last time I saw your Shiro in this palace, he was still a child, but now that he has grown up, he is a talent, I don't know if he has a marriage match?"

Yongning seemed to ask casually, but a few people at the banquet changed color slightly.

He Qiong pressed her daughter's hand, and heard Mei's smile and said, "The fourth brother has a marriage contract and is being hired at a later date." ”

Zou Enyi clenched the wine glass in front of him, couldn't help but look up at the other side, and quickly lowered his eyes, looking shy.

"Bengong also plans to be a matchmaker, but this can't be done," Yongning shook his head in disappointment, and then asked curiously: "I don't know which daughter the woman is?" ”

He Qiong's palms were wet with sweat, staring at Mei's soft side face, feeling lucky, hoping that Mei's would leave some affection and not mention his name.

"She is the eldest daughter of the Warbu Zhan Lang family." Mei Shi replied while looking at He Qiong's mother and daughter not far away, for fear that everyone would not know who she was talking about.

He Qiong's heart was half cold, Zhan Youjing held her mother's gently trembling right hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, mother. ”

The next moment, I saw Yongning's eyes fall on them, and he didn't hide his disgust: "How is her." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, and many people here had participated in the eastern outing hunting half a month ago, and they knew what was going on.

Rong Qinghui was drinking absentmindedly, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and looked at Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei approached him very sensibly and whispered: "Husband doesn't know, the daughter of the Zhan Shilang family has contradicted the eldest princess before and said some disrespectful words. ”

Rong Yuan'er's eyes flashed, and she quietly looked up at the other side.

Mei Shi got up in front of everyone, bowed to Yongning, and said with a ashamed face: "The concubine heard that the girl of the Zhan family had made disrespectful remarks and offended His Royal Highness, so I am here to make amends to you for her." ”

Yongning snorted coldly and said, "How can there be a junior sitting there, but the reason why the future sister-in-law will make amends for her." ”

Everyone whispered again, and their eyes stared at He Qiong's mother and daughter mockingly.

He Qiong sat like pins and needles, but she pretended to be deaf and dumb, while Zhan Youjing stared at the fruit bowl in front of her expressionlessly, deaf to the criticism around her.

Mei Shi still bowed, and his voice was soft: "Your Highness is angry, the girl of the Zhan family already knows that she is wrong, and she came here today to kowtow to you to make amends, and I beg your understanding." ”

He Qiong was stunned for a moment, staring at Mei in disbelief, she didn't expect her to dare to lie in public, she didn't promise to let her daughter kowtow to make amends, why did Mei say it?

Everyone in Kyoto knows her relationship with Li Lingyou, if her daughter kowtows to Yongning in public to make amends, it is equivalent to throwing Li Lingyou's face on the ground and trampling on it; If the daughter doesn't do it, it will inevitably confirm the notoriety of having no respect for the elders, and the Huayin Marquis Mansion will be able to justifiably withdraw from the marriage, which can be described as a dilemma and a dilemma.
