Chapter 55: The Mid-Autumn Festival Feast 1
In the blink of an eye, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the group that went to the palace for the banquet changed into new clothes, and after grooming properly, they got into the carriage.
There were four carriages in a line, Jiang Shangshi and his wife were in front, Jiang Ling and his wife were second, followed by Jiang Yunyi, Jiang Suying, Jiang Chengcheng and Jiang Ziang in the same carriage, and finally Jiang Qiushui and his younger brother Jiang Lai took the same car.
I don't know how long later, the carriage stopped in front of the strict palace gate, and the servant got the invitation and handed it to the guard in front of the palace gate, and after the guard checked it, he presented it to the palace maid and eunuch sent out to greet the guests.
Jiang Yushui waited for a while and didn't see any movement, knowing that such a grand banquet must have invited a lot of people, and the verification procedures for outsiders entering the palace on weekdays were already complicated, but now they will only be more stringent, and I don't know how long I have to wait.
She lifted the curtain of the car window and saw that there were many horse-drawn carriages parked around, and there was a long queue waiting for verification.
When he was about to put down the curtain, he unexpectedly met a pair of beautiful eyes.
The latter nodded calmly and smiled at her, Jiang Yushui was stunned for a moment, and before he could respond, he saw Princess Hexi's carriage forked between the two carriages, and only heard her joyful voice: "Brother Jin!" So you've already arrived, why don't you wait for me? ”
She didn't hear what Qi Jin said, but she knew Hexi's domineering and pestering nature, and she took a fancy to her......
Jiang Yushui thought about it, it seemed that the two of them were not together in their previous lives.
After the death of Emperor Nanfeng, he left a holy decree that was passed on to the seventh prince Xia Hao, when the prince was alive, and the power of the prince's mother Murong clan occupied half of the court, such a result was naturally unconvincing.
Although Xia Hao had the support of the Meng Jiang family behind him, he did not have military power in his hands, and later cooperated with Prince Ji, and married his own sister to a member of the Murong clan at that time to win him over, and it took a lot of energy to clear the prince's remnants.
As for who came up with the idea of marrying He Xi to that general......
Recalling the humiliating and hateful eyes of the arrogant and arrogant little princess in the past, Jiang Yushui laughed silently.
Naturally, it was a good idea from her.
After she married Xia Hao, this woman regarded everything in the Jiang family as her bag, and often took a group of noble children to the shops under the name of the Jiang family to plunder, acting like street robbers.
That's not all, they are even more contemptuous and humiliating of her parents, saying that they are just untouchables with a copper smell, don't think that if your daughter marries the prince, she can climb the relationship with the royal family and fly on the branches to be a phoenix.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were so angry that they couldn't see their daughter often when they married into the royal family, I don't know how she was doing, and now seeing that the sister-in-law's attitude is so bad, I don't know how much grievances my daughter has suffered.
But the people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that the officials let this favored little princess score three points.
So whenever He Xi came to find fault, they ordered their subordinates to give her three points.
It's not that I'm afraid of her, it's that I'm afraid that she will go back and bully their daughter.
Jiang Wushui completely blew up after knowing it.
It's okay to humiliate her, but it's not okay to bully her relatives!
However, Jiang Qiushui always went to her to theorize about such a thing, and all she got was a few innocuous reprimands from Xia Hao, and Hexi's words to this brother were completely left and right ear out, she wanted to teach He Xi in person, but was stopped by Xia Hao.
Looking at the helplessness in Xia Hao's eyes, Jiang Yushui hated it so much.
At that time, she thought that Xia Hao's inaction was a helpless move, but later she thought back and realized that this was not connivance?
Because she doesn't love it, she doesn't care, so she can let her sister bully her family.
But thinking about it, Xia Hao doesn't have many feelings for anyone in his bones, otherwise when she proposed to marry He Xi to that brute meat, why did he agree without even hesitation when she heard that the general who started the fire and would beat women?
……
Before going out, the sunset on the horizon was dazzling, purple and red, and by the time someone invited them to get off the carriage and walk into the palace with lanterns, the sky was already dark, and the stars were like fine sand sprinkled in the boundless night.
The guide was led by a few palace maids, seeing that they did not say much, Xu was very tired after waiting for an afternoon, except for telling them to walk carefully and not to stumble, they were very silent along the way.
Jiang Yunyi entered the palace for the first time, and was both excited and apprehensive when she learned the news of being invited to the banquet, but now although her eyebrows and eyes are tired, she still maintains that curiosity, and she doesn't know what she can see and what she can't see.
Compared with her, Jiang Suying was much quieter, looking at the road under her feet with low eyebrows, pursing her lips, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched into a fist, holding it tightly to relieve the tension of her long-cherished wish coming true.
Jiang Qiushui told her that the opportunity was tonight, and if she couldn't grasp it, she might never have it again.
She was suspicious, and full of anticipation, thinking about it, she couldn't help but look up at the figure not far away, and couldn't wait to rush up and ask her again if she could really let her marry Prince Ji, for this day, she had waited too long.
She was so preoccupied that she didn't have the energy to pay attention to the palace that she had seen for the first time, and which fascinated many people.
In fact, Jiang Chengcheng was also very excited, and a pair of eyes couldn't help but linger on the gorgeous palaces, but when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Qiushui's calm posture, she secretly thought in her heart that Jiang Qiushui would really be able to pretend, but on the other hand, she desperately suppressed her curiosity, not wanting people to think that she had not seen the world, let alone being compared to Jiang Qiushui.
Jiang Ziang, who was walking beside her, didn't think about it so much, she was curious about everything, she looked left and right, and from time to time she pulled her father's sleeve and asked questions, Jiang Ling was annoyed by the question, and scolded in a low voice, and he was so frightened that he shut up.
The layout and furnishings of this palace are the same as she lived in her previous life, she was imprisoned by this cold palace for nearly ten years for Xia Hao, and the center of memories is always more bitter than happy, and now these scenes that are no different from memories appear in front of her again, Jiang Yushui is still a little uncomfortable in her heart.
……
The banquet was held in an extremely spacious and open courtyard, and by the time they arrived, there were already quite a few people doing it.
The first to appear in front of everyone was Jiang Shangshi and his wife, there was no one present who did not know this rich giant, the first time he saw him with his family appear on such an occasion, he was surprised and greeted them warmly.
Although Nanser does not suppress business. strategy, but the official family has always prided himself on being superior, and he doesn't look down on the same smell of businessmen in his bones, but Jiang Shangshi, a giant, is different, he has good facial features, elegant temperament, although he wears gorgeous clothes, he does not have too many accessories, he is really low-key, with a modest smile on his face.
