Chapter 106: The Dinner Party
On the cold street, a bleak wind blew, and the leaves beside the street had taken on a somewhat dilapidated appearance, and the original emerald green color had now become dim.
Before you know it, autumn has arrived.
The moon had just risen, the sky was getting darker, and at this moment, most of the people were enjoying dinner at home. In the palace where the sky is gone, it is brightly lit, splendid, and lively.
The palace maids who came and went, holding delicious food in their hands, walked steadily towards the lobby. The people of Tianli Country know that today, it is the emperor of Tianli Country who holds a banquet to entertain distinguished guests from various countries.
Entertaining guests from various countries is not a tradition in the country. However, since the beginning of the previous two years, Pei Tianyu has actively opened up the land for the prosperity of Tianli Country, and welcomed envoys from all over the world to come to the palace banquet to enhance exchanges and friendship between them.
I have to say that since this beginning, the countries that were originally close to each other have now had contacts, and they have begun to communicate with each other, sign agreements, and do business in the country.
Su Wanqing knew what Pei Tianyu was doing, and she couldn't help but secretly admire. As the master of a country, his vision is long-term, and he sees business opportunities that others can't see. On the one hand, there is no doubt that dealing with other countries can reduce potential crises, and that they can make deals with each other, and that they will definitely bring huge profits to both sides.
Moreover, letting other countries see the strength of Tianli Country has somewhat scared away some people who originally had other thoughts about Tianli Country.
After receiving the emperor's decree, Su Wanqing soon began to get busy. She is now the future concubine of the Sixth Prince, and naturally she can't be as casual as before in terms of dress. Although Su Wanqing can indeed do this, and Pei Xiu doesn't mind this, subconsciously, Su Wanqing doesn't want to embarrass Pei Xiu.
On the contrary, she has to fight for his face, so that those who look down on him know their ignorance!
Tao Yao stood behind Su Wanqing and looked at her with admiration. Today, Su Wanqing wore a light blue dress, an unbearable waist, a slender and weak body, and a face that was so beautiful that it was difficult to take your eyes off, no matter where she looked, she was deeply attracted to others.
Tao Yao helped Su Wanqing comb her hair, and sighed: "Miss, you are really getting more and more beautiful, Tao Yao is almost fascinated by you." ”
Su Wanqing glanced at her with some amusement and said, "Just your poor mouth." ”
Tao Yao shouted: "The slave is not wrong, you are wearing this aqua blue dress today, but the one-piece sister made it herself." In addition to the last time you and Lu, who else in this capital has such glory and can once again win the favor of the one-piece sister? It's definitely only our eldest lady. ”
Su Wanqing looked at Tao Yao's proud look, smiled, and did not speak.
But the clothes made of one-piece clothes are indeed the most to her liking. Although Su Wanqing doesn't mind dressing up very much, but after all, she is a girl, who doesn't want to dress beautifully?
After Su Wanqing finished preparing, a maid happened to greet her at the door: "Miss, master, please come out." ”
Su Wanqing answered, stood up, and Tao Yao immediately helped her and walked out the door.
Walking to the lobby, Su Jianlian was already standing there, while Su Wanyue and Ruan Shi were also standing aside.
Su Wanqing looked at Su Wanyue, who was dressed very solemnly, and seemed to be slightly surprised and said, "Oh? Did my sister and second aunt also go to the palace with my father? ”
Before Su Wanyue could speak, Ruan Shi was already a little impatient and said, "Miss, you are here." Look at what the eldest lady said, your second sister is also the future second princess after all. This palace banquet is naturally going to go, otherwise, it will lose the face of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”
Su Wanqing looked at Ruan, who couldn't hide her smugness in her expression, and knew what she meant. Didn't you just tell her that the man she was in love with at the beginning was already the future husband of her second sister, and the second sister had already got her wish and sat on the throne of the second princess.
Su Wanqing looked at Ruan Shi and couldn't help sneering in her heart. This Ruan family, it's too early to be proud, it's hard to say whether Su Wanyue can sit firmly in the position of the second princess. After all, it is difficult to say whether this royal family will accept a prince to take a concubine as a concubine.
Su Wanqing opened her mouth and said: "The second sister naturally can't lose the face of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but-" She changed her words and said to the Ruan family: "Second aunt, do you want to participate in the palace banquet with us?" ”
Ruan's face seemed to be a little unsightly, but she quickly retracted, but her smile was a little stiffer: "Aunt is Yue'er's biological mother after all, and she was too nervous to participate in this kind of palace banquet for the first time, so she begged me to be by her side." After she finished speaking, she touched Su Wanyue's head lovingly, and said with a light smile: "What a child who doesn't grow up." ”
Su Wanqing watched the two of them stage a mother-daughter drama, and said with some grievances: "Daddy, look at what the second aunt said, is the biological mother who bullied Wanqing gone?" It was the first time for Wanqing to participate in such a palace banquet, but Wanqing didn't say anything. Could it be that in the eyes of the second aunt, only the second sister's nervousness is a problem, and Wanqing's nervousness is not a problem? ”
Ruan Shi listened to Su Wanqing's words, and his face immediately changed. She was just about to say something, but Su Jianlian had already said to her with a bad face: "I know that you love Yue'er, although Qing'er is not your own, you can't be so partial." Otherwise, if it is spread out, a concubine is not as favored as a concubine, what will others think of Qing'er? What will you think of my Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
Ruan's face suddenly turned pale, where was the original pride. Although her daughter became the future second princess, she was indeed ecstatic. But she is indeed a little carried away, her daughter is going to marry out after all, and when the time comes, the only person she can rely on in the house is still Su Jianlian.
If Su Jianlian is disgusted with herself, then when the time comes, what awaits her is definitely not a good thing. Thinking of the tragic situation that might happen to him in the future, Ruan's cold sweat came out.
She hurriedly said to Su Wanqing: "It's the second aunt who said the wrong thing, the second aunt is not only good to Yue'er, it's the second aunt who ignored the eldest lady, I hope the eldest lady doesn't blame the aunt." ”
Su Wanyue looked at Ruan's groveling appearance from the side, and Su Wanqing just looked at her quietly and didn't speak, Su Wanyue hated her in her heart.
Obviously, Ruan's is her biological mother, but because she is an aunt, she is a lot shorter in front of Su Wanqing. And his father, not only did he not help his mother speak, but he also looked at Su Wanqing for everything. She's just a superficial piece of shit, and she doesn't deserve it!
You wait, Su Wanqing, when she really becomes the second princess, what she owes their mother and daughter in the future, she will get it back one by one!
Su Wanqing didn't intend to say too much to Ruan, she just said to Su Jianlian: "Daddy, let's go, otherwise it will be too late." ”
Su Jianlian nodded, stepped into the carriage first, and Su Wanqing also followed him into the carriage.
Ruan, who was automatically ignored, lowered his head, and a trace of strong hatred flashed in his eyes. Su Wanyue supported her beside her and said in a low voice, "Mother, let's go." ”
Ruan Shi replied in a low voice and did not speak again. As for what she was thinking, no one knows.
In the palace, people from all walks of life have entered one after another. Today's palace is almost the most lively time of the year, full of gorgeously dressed and well-dressed official ladies, as well as Yushu Linfeng sons and buddies.
In addition, there are also royal nobles who have their own characteristics, wearing a variety of costumes full of national characteristics.
When Su Wanqing arrived, what she saw was such a lively scene, everyone was chatting freely, even if some people didn't understand the language, it didn't affect the communication between them. The communication between people is actually just a warm smile, and it is worth a thousand words.
Su Wanqing saw a somewhat familiar face in the crowd, and his rugged and tall figure stood out in the crowd.
Su Wanqing looked at him for a while, and then remembered, isn't this the Hu man she met on the street not long ago? I don't know what happened to the two of them later, after all, this Hu man's identity is not simple, not to mention his expression, it is not easy to get along.
Su Wanqing found that she was actually a little worried about the young man she met on the street that day, and she couldn't help but shake her head a little funny. They are not related to each other, when did she Su Wanqing be so nosy, even a stranger she didn't know had to worry about, this is really not like her style.
When Su Wanqing was secretly disgusted, a person next to her quietly approached. When Su Wanqing reacted, her little hand had been held by a slender big hand, she lowered her head and met Pei Xiu's warm eyes.
"What are you thinking?"
Su Wanqing shook her head and said with a smile: "It's nothing." ”
Pei Xiu looked at her and suddenly said, "You won't carry me behind your back and think about other men, right?" ”
Su Wanqing chuckled in her heart, and couldn't help but scold secretly, is this Pei Xiu a roundworm in her stomach, but of course she can't admit it.
Although Pei Xiu was very gentle with her, Su Wanqing knew that if this man lost his temper, it would definitely be very frightening. Although Su Wanqing felt that he would not lose his temper with her.
But Su Wanqing later learned that this man was jealous, which was much more serious than being angry.
As the number of people gradually increased, Pei Tianyu also appeared on the main seat, and many nobles greeted him one after another.
Pei Tianyu was standing next to a man dressed in white, and it seemed that he should be a professional translator.
Su Wanqing glanced at him several times, but she didn't expect that in ancient times, there were already translators, and it seemed that she was still too lonely.
At this time, the envoys in the palace had slowly entered, and the people next to them also began to read.
"The prime minister of the Yu Republic has arrived-the prince of the Hu clan has arrived-the princess of Qi Xianguo has arrived-"
As it was read, the messengers began to slowly enter the room.
The person who read it glanced at the roster in his hand and said loudly: "The prince of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom has arrived-"
Everyone looked out of the door, and their eyes widened at this look, and they all immediately let out a cry of amazement.
Su Wanqing also looked at everyone and was stunned when she saw it.
