Chapter 247: Tanabata
The four of them sat down, and soon after, they saw the county lord of Minzhi coming with the queen mother's money, and everyone stood up and saluted.
The Queen Mother sat down, asked everyone to get up, and said with a light smile: "Today's Chinese Valentine's Day, the mourning family is to call the young men and women over, and have a lively time together, the mourning family likes young people, likes the vitality of your body, you are not easy to be restrained, you should eat, drink, and treat it as your own home, and you want to have fun, so as to live up to the arrangement of the mourning family." β
This was followed by a song and dance performance, and the dancing girls danced and the sound of the dance continued, and the banquet began to liven up.
The purpose of the Queen Mother was originally to let both men and women who were not faint come into contact, so the prevention of men and women was not so serious, although men and women sat separately, but after a while, there were men and women who had known each other before talking together, and some of them were bold, and they began to flirt.
Chu Yue'an looked at the male guests opposite, the three sons of the Qi State Mansion were all there, and Shangguan Xun, Yuwen Jinghuai, and several sons who had seen them at the poetry meeting before were there, and it really looked like a large blind date venue.
Qi Yujing met Chu Yue'an's gaze and nodded calmly, while Qi Yuzhi next to him looked at the Queen Mother's room with a nervous expression, and the other third prince was drinking wine slowly, looking isolated from the world.
Yuwen Jinghuai looked at Chu Yue'an's eyes and thought that she was peeking at Shangguan Xun, and you were very unhappy that you pinched a grape and threw it at her.
Chu Yue'an was beaten up, glaring at Yuwen Jinghuai angrily, and Yuwen Jinghuai glared back not to be outdone.
Chu Yue'an felt that he was very naΓ―ve and did not have the same knowledge as him.
Brother Yan wanted to match his brother with Chu Yue'an, so he took Shangguan Xun's arm and came over, and said with a smile: "Brother has actually been very concerned about your injury, and has been asking me all the time, I am thinking, it is better to ask you directly to understand!" β
Shangguan Xun blushed: "Brother Yan, don't talk nonsense. β
Chu Yue'an smiled slightly: "Thank you Shangguan Gongzi for your concern, my injury has completely healed, by the way, the dagger that Brother Yan got on my birthday is said to have been found by you with a lot of effort, I am very easy to use, and I have always wanted to thank you in person." β
These words made Yuwen Jing's teeth itch, he walked to Chu Yue'an's side, and said angrily: "Why did you accept his things and return the king's things?" β
Although the sound of silk and bamboo continued, Yuwen Jinghuai's voice was still eye-catching, and Chu Yuean hurriedly pulled his sleeve: "I'll explain this matter to you later." β
"I don't need to explain." Yu Wenjing said angrily, "You look down on this king!" β
As he spoke, he glared at Shangguan Xun again with an angry snort: "Tomorrow at noon, if you are a man, let's go it alone!" β
Shangguan Xun smiled lightly: "Don't be so troublesome, Your Highness won, I just admit defeat." β
"You!" Yuwen Jinghuai nodded a few people, "Are you all complicit in this king?" β
Brother Yan smiled: "I think it's better for Your Highness to accept the reality as soon as possible." β
"Reality? This king knows better than you when reality is, and this king will show you what reality is. Yuwen Jinghuai pointed at Chu Yue'an, "You are good, wait for this king." β
On the other side, the lord of Minzhi accompanied the queen mother and begged the queen mother to give her a marriage with Qi Yuzhi.
This Qi Yuzhi was given marriage by His Majesty before, and a good marriage was ruined by himself, the Queen Mother didn't like Qi Yuzhi in the first place, and didn't want to marry the Lord of Minzhi to him, and gave him marriage, isn't this a joke?
The Queen Mother glanced at Qi Yu, she thought that this kid had a bit of talent, but she didn't expect that now her reputation was ruined, not to mention that she would be off the list, and said with disgust: "He has no two fame, what do you like about him?" β
"He's got talent, but he's just a little bit less lucky this year." Lord Minzhi said, "In the next scientific examination, he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list." Minzhi has a very good relationship with him, if he doesn't marry, ask the Queen Mother to grant Minzhi's request. β
She was lying coquettishly, but when she suddenly saw a person, her face turned pale with fright, this person was none other than the eldest princess who was belated, she did not wear the Taoist clothes on weekdays today, but wore a princess costume, which looked beautiful and extraordinary.
She glanced at the county lord of Minzhi and said lightly: "Qi Yuzhi is just a villain, he can actually get you so favored, I don't know if your vision is too bad or that kid is too good at demagogy?" β
Lord Minzhi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the eldest princess's face, the last time she reported the Zhao family, she thought she had taken revenge on Chu Yuezi, and then she realized that she had offended Yuwangfu and the eldest princess in one fell swoop, so it shouldn't be the eldest princess who was hated now, right?
The eldest princess sat down next to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "A person like Qi Yuzhi who deceived the daughter of the clan should be castrated, so that he will not continue to harm other people." His writing is good, and it is the most suitable to make a grinding little eunuch for his father. β
Lord Minzhi's face turned white with fright when she heard this, although she knew that the eldest princess was just joking, but she was still scared, and she didn't dare to mention the marriage again, so she found an excuse to slip away.
"Look, scare that kid?" The Queen Mother smiled, "Aren't you not interested?" Why is it coming again? β
"It's boring to be alone." The eldest princess said, "Grandmother Huang, when will you let me go?" β
"Why, you don't want to be with your imperial grandmother?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"The granddaughter naturally wants to be filial by the side of the imperial grandmother, but she can't live in the palace all the time, right?" The eldest princess's eyes rolled, "Didn't you say that there are many young talents, I'm here to see if there are any suitable ones!" β
The eldest princess is twenty-eight years old this year, and she has never been married, which is also a heart disease of the Queen Mother, hearing what she said herself, the Queen Mother was naturally happy: "You can look at these people casually, no matter who you like, the mourning family will give you a marriage." β
The eldest princess's eyes rolled slightly: "Then thank you to the imperial grandmother." β
Lord Minzhi saw that he came to Qi Yuzhi's side, and Qi Yuzhi asked in a low voice: "How is it, has the Queen Mother agreed to give marriage?" β
"Nope." Lord Minzhi shook his head, "The Queen Mother almost agreed to blame the eldest princess, and she came out to stir up the situation, not only did she not let the Queen Mother give her marriage, but also said that you should be arrested and castrated." β
"What!" Qi Yuzhi was horrified, "When did I offend him, why did she treat me like this?" β
"She just said, with me here, how can I let people do this to you?" Lord Minzhi said, "The road of marriage should not work, let's just follow the normal marriage."
However, Qi Yuzhi has been thinking about why the eldest princess is concerned about him, last time, Zi Minzhi ruined the Zhao family, and Princess Yu committed suicide, he was a little afraid that the Yu Palace's mansion would retaliate and affect him, Chu Yuezi is the eldest princess's person, the eldest princess will not want to avenge Chu Yuezi, the object of their revenge should be the lord of Minzhi, and he was implicated.
This thought sent chills down Qi Yuzhi's back, and secretly blamed the county lord of Minzhi for acting too recklessly before, if he was with Minzhi in the future, wouldn't he be the enemy of Yuwangfu and the eldest princess?
Chu Yue'an and the others also noticed the arrival of the eldest princess, and now that the Xianyun Temple has been closed, the whereabouts of Chu Yuezi and the others are unknown.
Chu Yue'an knew very well that the eldest princess would not give up everything she had worked so hard to manage before, and those things would only continue to be carried out in a more hidden place.
The banquet continued to be lively, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied with everything she had arranged, and her eyes shuttled across the banquet hall, catching the men and women she thought would have feelings for each other.
"I heard that the King of Chu is a little interested in Miss Chu Er, you might as well give him a marriage, lest he jump up and down, look at his appearance, where is there still a prince's majesty." The eldest princess said with a smile, "But Chu Yue'an's girl is beautiful, the city is deep, her ability is strong, and she can eat well in the capital, but she is also worthy of that kid, but I don't know if that kid will continue to love flowers and grass so much after getting married." But don't they all say that that girl is amazing, and it's okay to ask her to take care of the King of Chu! β
The Queen Mother's gaze turned to Chu Yue'an, paused, revealed a gloomy coldness, and then said with a smile: "The marriage of King Chu should be left to His Majesty to worry about, he has not yet been determined, so he is not in a hurry." As for this Second Miss Chu, the mourning family also needs to take a good look at it, if it is a good girl, just find her a good mother-in-law! β
"It's still the imperial grandmother's foresight." The eldest princess smiled lightly, "If the granddaughter had one-tenth of the imperial grandmother, she wouldn't be where she is now." β
"How can there be any smooth sailing in this life, even the imperial grandmother, when I was young, I also suffered a lot of losses and planted a lot of heels." The Queen Mother smiled, "There are always a few ups and downs, and now you are afraid of this little bump?" β
"Scared?" The eldest princess snorted, "Granddaughter never knew what it meant to be afraid!" β
"This is the granddaughter of the mourning family." The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, "The mourning family knows that you want to make a career and make an achievement that is not inferior to a man, wait, there will be such a day." Standing on top of the pinnacle and overlooking all beings, that is the taste of power. β
The eldest princess took a deep breath, as if tasting the taste of power, and she said softly: "The granddaughter will definitely do her best to follow the imperial grandmother, study hard by the imperial grandmother's side, and become a great woman like the imperial grandmother." β
The Queen Mother listened to the words of the eldest princess, and was in a very happy mood, laughed twice, and was very satisfied with everything at present.
