Chapter 81: At the Palace Banquet
King Qi frowned, the eldest princess of Wei who came to marry this time was just a concubine with no sense of existence, she said that she was the eldest princess, and she was not an old girl who had never been able to marry.
If you want him to say that he doesn't think any son is suitable.
King Qi has a total of three sons, the eldest prince is from Concubine Hui, this year is 20 years old, there are countless concubines in the house, but the position of the concubine is still vacant.
The second prince is 17 years old, there are no women around him and he has not married, he is the most suitable number, but although this son is a little weaker, he is brilliant, and he has excellent poetry at a young age, so let him marry, King Qi is really a little reluctant.
The third prince is born by the current queen, and the queen doesn't look down on this princess of Wei, but her son is only 9 years old, and it is not his turn yet.
"The eldest and the second, tell them all to go, whoever takes the initiative to take a fancy to the princess will be who."
King Qi thought for a while, but decided that it would be up to the sons themselves to decide who would contribute to the trade between the two countries.
The banquet for the princess of Wei was scheduled for two days later, and officials from all provinces could bring their families to attend, Xu Jiao lived in the Sixian Marquis Mansion as a friend because of her special status, and the palace also specially distributed a separate invitation to her.
This kind of trivial matter will definitely not be the concern of King Qi, it must be that the people in the palace know that she won the waist card last time, and they rushed to please her.
"Is the banquet in the palace lively?" Xu Jiao asked.
She didn't know what the difference between the palace banquet of Qi Kingdom and Yuehua Kingdom was.
"Lively."
"Is that good?" This question is her primary concern.
"On the day of the palace banquet, all the chefs will do their best to cook, and it is naturally delicious." Wu Zhan said.
Then she must go and see if Bibi is the best chef in her own country or the best in Qi country.
"Oh yes, I still don't know what this palace banquet is for? Is it a festival in your Qi country? Xu Jiao suddenly thought that she didn't know why there was this palace banquet, who held it, she couldn't make such a big move, she just wanted people to enter the palace to be lively, right?
Wu Zhan heard the news just now: "Do you remember the Wei people who entered the city that day, it was the princess of Wei who came to make peace with the prince of Qi." ”
Xu Jiao suddenly became interested: "Which prince are you with?" ”
Wu Zhan recalled the news he had just heard, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, it should be undecided." ”
So this banquet is actually a blind date banquet, Xu Jiao feels that she is the truth.
Xu Jiao will dress up well when she goes out on weekdays, especially during this time, she is still making money, and she has bought some jewelry and clothes, some of which she has never even seen when she was a princess in the palace.
The geographical location of Yuehua Kingdom is still too remote, and Yuehua Kingdom cannot fully own the good things outside.
At this palace banquet, she dressed up for two hours, wearing a loose flower Ruyi cloud smoke skirt and a white magnolia loose flower gauze dress.
Her hair was loosely coiled and her sideburns were left hanging down her chest, and a pair of her new coral beads were swayed diagonally on it, and a pale blue gradient headband with a pearl pendant was tied at the back. On both ears are wearing jade bead earrings given to her by the queen mother last time, and a pair of jade bracelets looming on her wrists.
Xu Jiao was very satisfied with her dress, and she was intoxicated for a while before going out, Wu Zhan had long been accustomed to her speed, and had learned to wait for her while drinking tea and reading a book.
"What's wrong with you? What about the rest of the family? Xu Jiao walked out of the yard and got into the carriage, only to find that the only person who set off with her was Wu Zhan.
Wu Zhan pouted: "I'll let them all go first, and I'll stay with you." ”
"It's really righteous." Xu Jiao patted him on the shoulder hard, and the step on his head made a pleasant and crisp sound with her movements.
As soon as the two arrived at the place where the palace banquet was held, a figure pounced out.
"Cousin!" It turned out to be Princess Maeruo.
Princess Meiruo's footsteps suddenly slowed down, thinking that she was embarrassed to be so excited when she saw Xu Jiao.
Wu Zhan took the lead in introducing: "This is Princess Meiruo, and she is also my cousin. After the introduction, he said to Princess Meiruo: "This is Miss Xu." ”
Princess Meiruo's eyes were bright, she ignored Wu Zhan, and stepped forward to talk to Xu Jiao: "Miss Xu, I know you, you are really amazing, I have heard about the fragrant dew and salt for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet you." ”
Xu Jiao was also flattered by the girl with such a warm and friendly attitude: "It's nothing powerful, it's just selling things." ”
The two girls soon chatted together, and Wu Zhan followed her in a daze.
"Brother Wu." "Brother Wu!" Several children of eunuchs who were about the same age as Wu Zhan beckoned to Wu Zhan.
"You go play with them, I'll be with your cousin." Xu Jiao felt that it was a bit wrong for Wu Zhan not to socialize for herself.
Now that Mei Ruo is with Gillian, there should be nothing wrong, if Mei Ruo is the princess, everyone in the palace will give some face.
Wu Zhan nodded and decided to chat with them for a while, they all decided to take the path of scientific research like him, and the relationship was also very good on weekdays.
Mei Ruo pulled Xu Jiao to sit in the hall where the girls gathered, everyone was very curious about this woman who was pulled by Princess Mei Ruo, she looked weird and good-looking, why had she never seen it before?
One of these women had an extremely strange look in her eyes, and that was Yun Rouya.
Xu Jiao didn't expect to see her here, she thought that she would come up to find trouble, but she didn't expect Yun Rouya to react at all, she just sat there in a daze, and she didn't have much reaction when others talked to her.
"Sister, who is that?" Gongsun Long's eyes were attracted by Xu Jiao, Princess Meiruo She knew, but she didn't know who this strange woman was.
Is it the daughter of a big official in the Qi Kingdom? It's really good-looking, and it's well dressed.
She looked at herself and her sister's dress, and was depressed for a while, her sisters' elaborate outfits were not at all comparable to hers, her jewelry looked so beautiful, and her clothes were beautiful.
Gongsun Ling was also a little curious, but she had a different idea.
Gongsun Ling knew that the purpose of this banquet tonight was to decide which prince she would become, and at this moment such an eye-catching beautiful little girl came......
Forget it, in fact, even if it is not Xu Jiao, the other nobles present are better looking than her.
Another reason why she is not valued in Wei is that she looks very ordinary, the kind that can't be found in the crowd.
Under her background, her sisters, who are also not beauties, look beautiful and cute.
There were many noble ladies who chatted about whose noble daughter Xu Jiao was, Yun Rouya couldn't help it, and said: "What kind of noble girl, it's just a woman from Yuehua Kingdom, she will sell fragrant dew and the like, such a shameful thing as a businessman, she actually has a way to mix in the palace banquet." ”
She expected that the nobles should all look disgusted when she said this, but she didn't expect that at this moment, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Xu Jiao like they were looking at some treasure.
