Chapter 127: Banquet in the Palace
The sixth prince Bai Chuan, the eighth prince Bai Xu, and the seventeenth prince Bai Nan were all silent.
After a while, Bai Chuan said coldly: "I don't think it's interesting, I don't know where the interest of the Fifth Highness comes from." ”
Rong Jingyu's expression stiffened slightly, and then said: "You came together, and suddenly the Nine Princes are missing, in my opinion, it is very interesting." ”
Seeing this, Bai Xu laughed loudly: "Brother Six Wang, Your Highness the Fifth is kind enough to greet us, it's not appropriate for you to put on such a stinky face, right?" ”
Bai Chuan glared at Bai Xu coldly, and his tone was even more stinky than before: "Ride your horse well, I will talk to the Fifth Highness, and I have your share?" ”
Bai Xu was not angry, but smiled and apologized: "It's the younger brother who interjected incorrectly, don't be angry with the sixth royal brother." Look, aren't the Fifth Highnesses still there? ”
Bai Manjiang's sons are peaceful, and the fight is fierce, almost an open secret, Rong Jingyu seems to have not seen the undercurrent surging between them: "Later, I will arrange for a few people to live in the official post first, and later my father will prepare a banquet for you in the palace." ”
Rong Jingyu personally arranged the Rong team into the official post: "A few people have a little rest, I have instructed the post station to entertain distinguished guests with the highest standard!" In the evening, I will personally pick you up and bring you to the palace for a banquet. ”
The three princes thanked Rong Jingyu one after another, and the eighth prince sent Rong Jingyu out of the official post: "Thank you Your Highness for going out of the city to welcome you today." ”
"It's a guest from afar, and you and I have been friends for a long time, so we should be." Rong Jingyu smiled and waved his hand, in recent years, the envoys of the Rong tribe have entered Beijing, and he has greeted them, and he is familiar with each of the several princes who often come and go: "The eighth prince should go back and settle down and rest, and I will pick up a few in the evening." ”
The two pushed each other and said a few words at the door of the post station before parting.
Rong Jingyu arranged an independent courtyard for them, and as soon as Rong Jingyu left, the nineteenth princess Bai Yu became active: "Is the palace of Rongguo made of gold everywhere?" I just picked one up and got rich? ”
When she spoke of gold, her eyes lit up, as if she could really pick it up when she entered the palace.
Bai Chuan scolded in a deep voice: "Bai Yu, what are you talking nonsense? Go back to your room and stay there, and no one will call you, and you will not be allowed to come out. ”
Bai Yu lowered his face: "Brother Liuwang, what are you doing to kill me?" I've heard of the splendid palace of Rongguo in the royal capital, but it's amazing. ”
"Nineteenth sister, the resplendent doesn't mean that there is gold everywhere." Bai Nan, the seventeenth prince, explained to Bai Yu what it meant to be splendid, so he asked someone to send Bai Yu back to the room, and told people to take good care of Bai Yu and not to tell her to run around.
Bai Chuan personally took people to look around the various rooms in the front and back of the courtyard, and he summoned Bai Xu and Bai Nan to his room: "Later, I will call someone to find Lao Jiu back, and if a palace banquet is held at night, the emperor may meet us in person." looked at the nineteenth sister and told her not to cause trouble. ”
"Two royal brothers, why don't I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to borrow a few people." Bai Nan thought that he had a good relationship with Rong Jingting, if he borrowed a few people to help find Bai Zheng, the Nine Kings Brother, Rong Jingting would definitely not refuse.
As soon as he said this, Bai Chuan and Bai Xu looked at him mockingly: "Although the sons of Emperor Rongguo are not as many as our fathers, but if you find any one to come out, they are a hundred times stronger than the sick and crooked prince, I really don't know what you think, you actually have a close relationship with such a guy who is about to die." ”
Bai Nan bowed his head with shame on his face and let them laugh at him......
The envoy of the Rong tribe has arrived at the post station, and the saint is a cousin, so he specially set up a palace banquet, and ordered the officials of the five grades and above to bring their families to participate.
This news was conveyed to the provinces in the form of an oral message.
In the Anning Hou Mansion, Mrs. An Ninghou personally dressed An Ran: "This is a palace banquet, not only foreign envoys, but also royal relatives and nobles, with Ran'er's appearance, it is naturally not a problem to find someone who is ten times better than Yue Mingyang." ”
An Ran let her mother dress her up: "I don't want to be the county lord of Changning anymore, mother, can you ask Your Majesty to take back your life?" ”
"As for this, you only think about it in your heart, that is, you yourself know that it is impossible, and the decree of the Holy Lord, that is, the golden rule, is difficult to receive." Mrs. An Ninghou broke An Ran's illusion, what she thought in her heart was that the palace banquet came just in time!
An Ran threw himself on the table and cried, and Mrs. An Ninghou couldn't coax it: "Don't put on makeup and cry, then your ugly appearance will be spread to the Great North." ”
"It's been passed on, I've been divorced, what could be more embarrassing? What am I afraid of? An Ran cried a little more fiercely.
Mrs. An Ninghou pulled her up and put her back on makeup......
Hearing the news of the palace banquet, the happiest person was Yan Jiajia: "Isn't this the best opportunity God has given me?" If she can send that mud leg to the Rong clan, won't she be able to come back for the rest of her life? ”
She thought in her heart, the few times she had made a move on Yan Zhenzhen, she had asked the mud legs to dodge, this time it was in the palace, Yan Zhenzhen shouldn't have such good luck, right?
Mrs. Yan brought Grandma Lin to personally supervise Yan Zhenzhen's grooming and dressing: "Add more fragrant powder, the girl's house is just fragrant." This is entering the palace, and you can't dress casually. For example, although this time it is a palace banquet, we can't wear red and purple, and there is a little princess in the palace, so we have to avoid it. ”
Mrs. Yan personally sprinkled incense powder on the collar of Yan Zhenzhen's undershirt.
"Ahh Ahh Yan Zhenzhen was choked and sneezed: "Mother, enough, enough." Ahh ”
The smell of this incense powder is very light, but it can't stand Mrs. Yan shaking the powder into her collar.
"That's it!" Mrs. Yan took a sachet from Grandma Lin's hand and personally hung it on her waist for Yan Zhenzhen: "Our family Zhenzhen is dressed up and is also a little beauty." ”
"Miss Zhenzhen's appearance is really eight or nine points similar to that of Madame, when you were a child, and her grandparents didn't know how to rejoice when they saw it." Grandma Lin bluntly praised Yan Zhenzhen in front of Yan Zhenzhen.
Yan Zhenzhen couldn't help but touch her face, does she look like her mother?
Mrs. Yan, the mother, is a gentle and graceful beautiful woman, soft with rigidity, rigid and soft, and she herself is more like a wild tree.
Mrs. Yan's eyebrows opened and smiled: "My own daughter, unlike me, who else can she look like?" She looked at Yan Zhenzhen with a smile in her eyes, and said, "Grandma Lin, go and see Jiajia, are Tingting and Shishi ready?" ”
"Mother, will the fifth sister go?" Yan Zhenzhen stopped when she heard Mrs. Yan talk about the fourth sister, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know!" As soon as Mrs. Yan finished speaking, she saw a little disappointment on Yan Zhenzhen's face, and immediately added: "Your fifth sister's grandfather is Dai Ge Lao, if he wants to attend the palace banquet, most likely he will take your fifth sister over." ”
The palace banquet to entertain the envoys of the Rong people was held in a large hall called the "Mountain and Sea Banquet" in the imperial palace.
Many officials have already brought their families to wait outside the mountain and sea banquet.
The chamberlain was led into the hall according to the rank of an official and sat down.
