Chapter 408: Enjoying Flowers and Scenery (1)
Shen Jinse's thoughts and plans can be determined by casually testing them, but she obviously doesn't know much about the situation around Rong Junzhi, which is not something that anyone can approach casually.
It's really not that Shen Jinqiao is guarding against anyone because of jealousy, but Rong Junzhi himself respects these women, and the people who are waiting close are all confidants, and even King Yu and they can't get into the hands of people, let alone Shen Jinse.
However, Shen Jinse is also a 'good fate', and when he met King Yu, he naturally wanted to help her......
----
The queen's flower-viewing banquet finally came, inviting countless women and girls who had not left the cabinet in Beijing, and when this post was sent, it set off a lot of waves, and everyone speculated that it was because of their perseverance and persistence that the queen was impressed, and she finally couldn't bear the moral condemnation and decided to give His Majesty a concubine?
However, the next day, the queen sent another batch of invitations out to the young talents of the princes and nobles in the imperial city.
What is not clear about seeing this situation? The queen mother is going to marry all the noble girls, and her heart is cold in an instant.
No matter what those people outside thought in their hearts, the flower-viewing banquet was held as scheduled.
In the imperial garden, a flower path is separated by flowers, men are left and women are right, and there is a distance between a pot of flowers in the middle, a banquet is set up, a stage is set up, and there is a song of water, so that people can show their talents, set up a competition venue, and show the heroic posture of men.
For the sake of these young men and women, Concubine Taixian can be regarded as bothering.
Well, Shen Jinqiao didn't take credit for this matter, she said her request, and the rest was done by Concubine Taixian and Princess Fude, I have to say, I am really very attentive, which proves that it is right to hand this over to Concubine Taixian.
Shen Jinqiao wore a dark red dress, embroidered with golden phoenix peonies, and a phoenix crown and golden hairpin on her head, not because she loved this luxury, but because she appeared in front of the courtiers as a queen, and the majesty and luxury must suppress them.
Shen Jinqiao stood in front of the wide bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, his face was still the same face, but the nobility and majesty suppressed the beauty, looking more dignified and heavy, and not so beautiful.
"Am I getting old?"
Outside are mostly little girls who have not yet married, and she, in her early twenties, is at the age of being a mother.
Yuzhu hurriedly replied: "The master is not old at all, he is beautiful, and no one can match him." ”
Mama Yu answered: "Niangniang is not old, she is calm, her heart is calm, she looks dignified and steady, although she has lost the liveliness and freshness of the little girl, but she has a more charming charm, and the Fengyi of the mother is that those little girls can never compare." ”
Shen Jinqiao smiled: "It's still Mama Yu who speaks nicely." "Praise people are praised to the hearts of the people.
Mama Yu smiled modestly: "The slave is just telling the truth. ”
Soon, the time for the banquet came, and according to the etiquette system, the queen was naturally the last to arrive.
"See the Queen!"
Shen Jinqiao walked over and sat down, raising his hand: "Flat." ”
"Xie Niangniang."
Shen Jinqiao's side sat the concubine and princess of the harem, and below were the wife and the daughter, and the young talent was a little farther away on the left.
Not to mention the other concubines in the harem, at least Concubine Taixian is now completely on Shen Jinqiao's side, and she is one of the few people who can speak in front of Shen Jinqiao, and now she is in charge of the emperor's harem, although she is not as beautiful as Concubine Leng Guifei, but she is the most comfortable and leisurely.
"Queen, everything is ready, it's time to start the banquet."
Flower viewing feast, the theme is naturally flower appreciation, nearly two hours ago, they are walking around, enjoying flowers and scenery and people, now the time is almost up, is to eat while appreciating.
Shen Jinqiao nodded: "Let's have a banquet." ”
The palace people brought the prepared meal to the table, and when the food was almost ready, the banquet began.
This was followed by singing and dancing, and the venue soon became lively.
Shen Jinqiao sat at the top, noble and cold, originally according to common sense, this group of people was going to ask the queen for peace one by one, but Shen Jinqiao was directly exempted, so many people asked for peace one by one, her head had to explode, just let all of them come here and give them a chance to get to know each other.
Now that Shen Jinqiao came over, he didn't invite anyone to come over to visit, and there were not a few extra greetings, which really made people feel too difficult to get close.
This is actually Shen Jinqiao's intention, she just doesn't want people to feel that she is too close, she kicks her nose in the face one by one, today is a blind date for them, naturally put her attitude out, don't tell her about the harem, there is no door, who dares to mention it, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
After the dancing girl danced, there was a daughter on stage to perform, the stage was set up in the middle of the men's and women's seats, and a bridge on the left and right was connected, and the daughter could perform on stage, and those sons and brothers could also show their style.
Those who want to perform can just hand the list to Concubine Taixian before coming.
Shen Jinqiao looked at these girls, and couldn't help but think of them in the past, young, ignorant and fearless, love to be in the limelight, blooming like flowers, why not these girls now?
Shen Jinqiao looked at Leng Yi, Leng Yi looked back at each other if he realized something, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Although Shen Jinqiao is not as approachable and gentle and generous as those queens in the past, she is not stingy, and the girls who perform on stage, as long as they perform well, are rewarded.
"Thank you for the reward." A girl in white stepped forward to thank her: "The courtiers are brave, and they have a doubt, and they want to ask the queen mother." ”
This girl is dressed in white, embroidered with proud snow and red plums, she looks a little talented, arrogant, Shen Jinqiao thought about it, what is this girl's name?
Mama Yu stepped forward and reminded: "Niangniang, this is Chen Ruosu, Miss Yan of the Taishi Mansion, and the cousin of King Yu." ”
Shen Jinqiao nodded: "This palace remembers." ”
The Miss Chen family, who only hears her name and doesn't see her, is said to be no less talented than the four beauties, but she has a cold temperament and doesn't like to be in the limelight, so she lives in a simple place.
At that time, these words came out, but they suppressed the four beauties of His Majesty's royal seal, and now it doesn't seem to be very good.
Shen Jin was silent for a moment, so this Chen Ruosu is also in his early twenties.
Looking at Chen Ruosu's arrogant appearance, Shen Jinqiao knew that he wouldn't ask any good questions, after all, she was a talented woman, and she was always trickier than others.
"Tell me about it." Shen Jinqiao is also not afraid of challenges, even if he comes.
Chen Ruosu raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Jinqiao: "There has been a training since ancient times: marriage is a major event, the order of the parents is the words of the matchmaker, but the queen mother supports the white girl who dares to pursue love, and even violates the marriage contract given by the emperor, the courtiers dare to ask, is this marriage matter based on the life of the parents, or is it based on their own wishes?" ”
Shen Jinqiao raised her eyebrows, sure enough, as soon as the talented woman opened her mouth, she knew that it was not so easy to dismiss, comparing what Shen Jinqiao did with the ancient teachings, this was not to embarrass her?
