Mrs. Tai smiled, feeling that the fourth granddaughter's dress was eye-catching and eye-catching, and it would definitely leave a deep impression on the housewives who presided over the feed, and the marriage was halfway through. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

"Okay, okay, okay!" She generously promised Wang Xi, "You can go anywhere you want to play!" However, you can't get into trouble. If you get into trouble in the palace, it's no better than outside, even your grandmother can't protect you! ”

"Rest assured, rest assured!" Wang Xi smiled and hugged Mrs. Tai's arm and said, "I follow the people of the Qingping Marquis Mansion to ensure that they are honest and nothing will happen." ”

Shi Zhu sneered and said, "Miss Wang is dressed as beautiful as a flower, and her red clothes are as bright as the sunset, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide." I think my aunt and grandmother still have many hearts, and it is better to plan for Miss Wang as soon as possible. ”

alludes to Wang Xi's frivolous behavior and wants to enter the palace and be in the limelight.

Mrs. Tai frowned slightly.

Wang Xi pursed the corners of his lips coldly at Shi Zhu, looking like he was smiling but not smiling, and said bluntly: "If this palace banquet is just an ordinary palace banquet, what does it matter if I dress up beautifully?" If it is really like the rumors outside, it is the emperor and the queen who choose concubines for the princes, I don't know whose wife took a concubine before entering the door. Now the world is still the emperor's world, even if it is the eldest prince, I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts, right? ”

Shi Zhu's face was very ugly.

Truly. If this palace banquet is to choose a concubine for the princes, before the main concubine is decided, no matter how beautiful Wang Xi is born and how much the dowry is, no prince dares to beat her and wants to accept her as a side concubine or carry her into the door. Otherwise, you will lose your dignity in front of the emperor, which will affect the dispute between the prince and the future future.

Among them, Wang Xi, who was born in a businessman, is the safest.

She didn't expect Wang Xi to have such a mind.

I don't know if she thought it herself or if her family told her.

No matter how Shi Zhu guessed, Mrs. Tai was completely relieved when she heard Wang Xi's words, and she said to Shi Zhu with a smile: "Your cousin is a successful person, you don't have to worry about her." It's you, it's good to get close to Princess Fuyang, but as for the queen's mother, you shouldn't be too rude. ”

It taught her a lesson.

Shi Zhu's eyes shrunk.

The old lady is really confused, is she worried about Wang Xi? Is she sarcastic about Wang Xi?

The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion really can't stay.

It's all unknowing.

Shi Zhu had a cold face and got into the carriage after everyone.

Because this flower banquet was placed in the imperial garden, they entered the inner palace from the Shunzhen Gate, and then got off the carriage and followed the female officials in the palace all the way to the Qin'an Palace.

The queen mother and others have not yet arrived, but most of the meritorious families have already arrived.

Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou entertained the ladies who presided over the middle feeds in various mansions, and Wang Xi and several juniors followed beside them with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, smiling and saluting and greeting at the orders of the elders. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

Wang Xi was dishonest, and the corner of his eye quickly caught Miss Wu Er and Lu Ling in the front row.

Miss Wu Er was with her sisters-in-law and aunts, and Lu Ling was with Miss Wu from the Xiangyang Hou Mansion. Next to them was the ladies of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, but she didn't see the sixth lady of the Bo family.

Wang Xi thought that it was at this time to quietly pull Miss Wu Er around to see what the imperial garden looked like, or to wait for the banquet to officially start looking for an opportunity to sneak out, and heard three forbidden whips.

The people in the Qin'an Hall immediately fell silent, and the needles could be heard.

Wang Xi couldn't help but hold his breath, and heard a eunuch singing and shouting: "The queen has arrived!" ”

The crowd bowed their heads.

In a burst of rustling sounds, Wang Xi only saw shoes embroidered with a sea of clouds walking in front of her.

After a while, the woman's voice said softly, "Ladies, flat down." ”

The main hall came to life, and there was the sound of footsteps walking, and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

The corner of Wang Xi's eyes quickly glanced at the phoenix seat in the center of the main hall.

The location of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion was in the middle, but it was close to the east, and she could only see a woman wearing a little emerald phoenix crown and a bright yellow phoenix robe, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she felt a little plump.

She sat upright, not speaking.

However, there was a woman wearing a flower crown who was about to stand in front of the phoenix seat on the left side, and said softly: "Give the seat!" ”

Listening to the voice, it's the woman who just said, "You're flat."

Everyone sat down according to the nameplate.

The location of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is quite high.

Wang Xi found that the first place on the lower left of the queen mother sat Chen Luo's mother, Princess Baoqing, and on the right sat a woman about fifty years old.

When the dynasty respected the left, the eldest princess of Lin'an was the emperor's aunt, but she was ranked below the eldest princess of Baoqing...... What's the story?

Wang Xi thought that the eldest princess of Baoqing was about sixty years old, wearing the clothes of a super-first-class foreign woman, and she was also very fresh.

However, there was Miss Bo Liu standing next to the woman.

Wang Xi guessed that the woman should be the lady of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion.

She didn't see Miss Bo Liu just now, nor did she see Princess Baoqing...... In other words, Miss Bo Liu, her grandmother, and the eldest princess Baoqing came with the queen mother.

The eldest princess of Lin'an sat down with Princess Fuyang.

Other than that, I didn't see any other concubines, including the previous imposing concubine Niangniang.

Wang Xi was a little surprised.

After everyone sat down, the palace ladies began to serve refreshments.

The queen mother talked to the eldest princess.

Because the hall was too quiet, although the queen's voice was not loud, Wang Xi even listened to and guessed, and understood a seven-seven, eight-eight.

The queen mother was asking where Chen Luo had gone, and asked the eldest princess to send someone to a few princes to see if he was there.

The queen's voice was slightly hoarse, making people feel heavy tired.

Is it okay to have no rest? Or is something else going on?

Wang Xi hadn't seen Chen Luo for a few days, thinking about what Chen Luo had told her before, she always felt that even if Concubine Ning's affairs could be concealed for a while, she couldn't hide it for a lifetime, even if the queen didn't find out, she should feel something.

The eldest princess whispered a few words back to the queen, Wang Xi couldn't hear it, but saw the queen mother and the people close to them laughing, among which the eldest princess of Lin'an even said: "This aunt is a nephew." I don't know where my own boy's marriage is, but you are thinking about Linlang's marriage. No wonder Linlang is the most filial to the emperor and you. This is also your fate. ”

The queen didn't speak when she heard this, but the expressions of everyone in the hall were different, which was very wonderful - it can be seen that this flower banquet is indeed choosing a concubine for the princes.

Wang Xi glanced at the eldest princess of Lin'an a few times.

I don't know if this eldest princess did it intentionally or unintentionally? This flower feast has not yet begun, and the matter is already known to everyone. With the eldest princess's previous achievements, if she can meddle in the emperor's accession to the throne, she shouldn't be such a stupid person.

But who was the one who gave her to say this, or who could have made her say it?

The flower feast soon began.

Different from the banquets of those high-ranking families, even the birthday banquet of the eldest princess is very different, regardless of the banquet that Wang Xi attended in the past or the birthday banquet of the eldest princess, everyone is very happy, at least on the surface, a lively group, the flower banquet in the palace is very quiet, orderly, everyone can not speak, even if they speak, they must also talk about the dignity and inferiority, some of the wives and ladies of the four-grade officials sat on the periphery, and they couldn't hear what the queen said at all, and they sat solemnly alone, An hour has passed, and he has not moved at all, which makes Wang Xi, who has been bored and bored after sitting for an hour, very admired.

Everyone went out before dawn, but when they entered the palace, they had to check the token, not to say, to search the things they had brought in, and they couldn't do it in front of the public, so they needed to take people to the side hall next to them, so that it would take a long time, and when the queen mother appeared, she said for an hour, and it was time for lunch.

Everyone moved to the Wanchun Pavilion, and the banquet was set up there.

And they sat down separately according to their rank of honor.

This time, Wang Xi saw the appearance of the queen mother clearly.

Miss Bo Liu and Bo Mingyue both look very similar to her, but she is not maintained like a person who raises the strength of the whole country, standing with Princess Baoqing like two generations, the wrinkles around her eyes are very deep, and she is quite haggard.

It can be seen that she, the queen, is not very happy, otherwise she would not age so fast.

Wang Xi glanced at it and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Miss Wu Er took advantage of everyone's sitting time to come over and pull Wang Xi's sleeve, and winked at her, as if to tell her, I'm here, don't be afraid of anything.

Wang Xi nodded gratefully at her, and the two sat down separately.

The ladies began to serve the food.

Wang Xi found that there were very few trees in the palace, and even if there were a few trees, they were all sparsely scattered and far away, and he could see the city wall next door at a glance.

It's no wonder that northerners love the gardens of Jiangnan.

The emperor's house didn't have any extra trees, and it was really rough.

Wang Xi despised the royal family in her heart, and she had no expectations for the scenery of the imperial garden, thinking in her heart, if she returned to Shuzhong and told her sisters at home today's knowledge, I wonder if they would believe it?

Lunch is a typical palace feast, the dishes are either stewed or boiled, either boiled or stewed, or cold, marinated and pickled. And when they came up, it was all warm.

Wang Xi barely ate a few bites of Jingsi Hangzhou pepper, and then found that everyone didn't eat, but just dipped the plate with chopsticks.

When she went out, Mrs. Tai didn't tell them anything? She only brought a few pieces of dim sum in case of any accidents, which was not enough for each person in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion.

What are they going to eat? Is there any trick she doesn't know about later?

Wang Xi also followed everyone to pretend, but inadvertently looked up and saw Shi Zhu's somewhat mocking gaze.

She won't fight with her stomach if she fights with anything.

Wang Xi didn't think so, thinking that if he would be hungry later, he would hide with Chang Ke to cushion his stomach, as for the others, since they didn't tell her, they must have their own methods.

Fortunately, after lunch, the queen led everyone to visit the imperial garden.

The Royal Garden has mountains and water and Taihu Lake stones, but the Taihu Lake stones are just piled up into a rockery, and the water is just a stream that can see the pebbles, the mountain is a small dirt slope, and the Royal Garden is not as short as a few big trees with a high roof, and the other trees are relatively short, more are bonsai and bonsai, although those bonsai and bonsai are very exquisite, but it is more like Wang Xi's grandfather likes things, for Wang Xi, how is it not as good as the four seasons of flowers.

This imperial garden is a bit unsightly!
