Receiving the invitation from King Lu's mansion, Yan Hagi was not surprised, not long after Tang Miao's early death last year, Princess Lu was able to participate in the flower banquet held by Princess Ruifu, and on March 3 this year, she could of course hold a banquet in the suburbs of Huifang Palace.

The festival has a festival dedicated to the god of marriage, which is the god of marriage and fertility. Although the county lord of Rouwei has confirmed that it is a false pregnancy, it does not prevent Princess Lu from praying for childbirth.

On March 3, the weather was fine and the spring was bright, and Yan Hagi took a carriage to the Huifang Palace in the suburbs; The carriages out of the city were one after another, all of which were invited by Princess Lu. When I arrived at Huifang Palace, I was welcomed in by the palace people, and when I entered the main hall, many people had come, most of whom were familiar faces.

Sitting at the top of the seat was Princess Lu, who was wearing the princess's usual clothes, and beside her sat the princess of King Xin, the princess of Jiujiang, the princess of Pingyuan, and the princess of Chengen, who had not shown up for a long time, and the county lord of Ruining.

"I've seen Princess Lu, I've seen the three princesses, and I've seen Lord Ruining." Yan Hagi greeted him.

"Mrs. Shizi doesn't have to be polite." Princess Lu stretched out her hand to help, "I am very relieved to see that Mrs. Shizi is as healthy as ever." ”

"Thank you for your concern, Princess." Yan Hagi smiled.

After saying a few polite words, the palace maid led Yan Hagi to sit down. Mrs. Gongshizi of England took her hand, "Being able to go out to socialize, it can be seen that this body is really good." ”

"It's really Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless." Duchess Chengguo said with emotion.

Yan Hagi's illness frightened everyone. Yan Hagi solemnly thanked his cousin and sisters for their concern, and turned his eyes to see the palace maid leading a twenty-four-five-year-old young woman in outside. The young woman wore a peach-colored cardigan embroidered with apricot blossoms, and held a chic crescent bun.

Seeing her outstanding appearance, Yan Hagi asked with a smile, "Who is the woman who came in, I don't seem to have seen it before?" ”

"That's Fifth Master Qiu's second wife." Yan Ying smiled.

"She is the second wife of Fifth Master Qiu, and she looks very beautiful." The British princess and lady said with a smile.

"You haven't seen her?" Yan Ying asked in surprise.

"She came to the British government to ask to see her, but she was sent away by her mother, I have heard of it, but I have never seen it." The British princess and lady said with a smile.

"How do I feel that I have an illness, it's like a day in the mountains, it's been a thousand years in the world, I don't know a lot of things, sister-in-law, sister, please tell me, who is this Fifth Master Qiu?" Yan Hagi asked.

Yan Ying chuckled, "Jinxi Qiu family, have you always heard of it?" ”

Yan Hao nodded, "I've heard, the big wealthy businessmen in Jinxi, but Shinong Industry and Commerce, this Qiu family is not a family with status, how could Princess Lu invite her to come?" ”

Mrs. Huai'en smiled and interjected, "I heard that this Fifth Master Qiu wants to pull King Lu to do business together. ”

Yan Rong looked down on this kind of person, and said disdainfully: "What kind of business together is just a trick that the people of the Qiu family want to cling to the powerful." ”

Everyone was talking about this Mrs. Qiu, and Princess Lu brought Mrs. Qiu to Yan Hagi and the others, "Mrs. Qiu, this is Princess Su, this is the Duchess of Chengguo, this is the British Duchess, this is the Anguo Gongshizi, this is the Huai'en Gongshizi, and this is the Jingbian Hou Shizi. After introducing Yan Hao and the others, Princess Lu continued: "This is Mrs. Qiu from Jinxi, Pan, she is a very kind person. Now there is a new floating incense pavilion in Beijing, where the fat powder is first-class and good, if you need it, you can go and see it. There is a special makeup room in the pavilion, and after trying the effect, I think it is good, and it is not too late to buy it. ”

Yan Hao and the others' expressions did not change, but they secretly muttered in their hearts, this Floating Fragrance Pavilion should be the business that the Qiu family and King Lu did together, otherwise Princess Lu would not spare no effort to help Mrs. Qiu.

"Say hello to a few ladies, I have heard a few big names earlier, and I am really happy to see them today." Mrs. Qiu smiled with a courteous smile on her face.

"Mrs. Qiu is polite, we don't know each other, please don't have to." Yan Rong said unceremoniously.

Mrs. Qiu ignored Yan Rong's indifference, and still said with a smile: "My maiden name is Xia'er, just call me Xia'er." ”

Yan Rong ignored her and drank a cup of tea.

Mrs. Qiu has a clever mouth, even if Yan Rong and the others have a very cold attitude, she can still talk to herself, and then ended the conversation with "I will visit in person next time", followed Princess Lu away, and went to make friends with other ladies.

At the right time, the Qushui Liuyu feast begins, the peach blossoms are planted on both sides of the Qushui ditch of the Huifang Palace, it is in the flowering period at this time, the peach blossoms are full of branches, there are small tables and short stools under the tree, and there are eight food boxes on the several.

Looking at this similar scene, Guo Baochan tugged at Yan Hao's sleeve, "Xiaoxiao, do you remember the Qushui banquet held by Princess Qi that year?" ”

Yan Hao nodded slightly, and whispered: "Let's not walk around, don't be alone, we won't get involved in their." ”

"Hmm," Guo Baochan's expression was serious.

This song and water flow feast, without any twists and turns, gilt arabesque pattern feather bud with the sound of the piano, floating in the ditch, the sound of the piano stops, the feather bud stops, the nobles perform their talents in turn, or compose poems and lyrics, or stroke the piano and blow the flute.

At the beginning of the day, the banquet ended, Princess Lu and others read the poems, but they did not come up with the advantages and disadvantages, but just picked out a few poems and praised a few words, and ordered the palace maid to give each noble girl a red gold flower hairpin made inside, and she was generous.

On the way back to the city, Guo Baochan asked Yan Hao suspiciously, "Xiaoxiao, what do you say Princess Lu is holding this banquet for?" ”

"What do you think she means?" Yan Hagi asked rhetorically.

"Concubine Kang has two sons, and she is quite favored, she may want to support a person, not only to have children, but also to share Concubine Kang's favor." Guo Baochan analyzed.

"This should be the main intention, and the other intention is to let everyone know about the Floating Fragrance Pavilion and let us go to the Floating Fragrance Pavilion to patronize." Yan Hagi smiled.

"If the fat powder there is good, I don't mind going there and buying it." Guo Baochan said with a smile.

"Isn't the fat powder you use right now?" Yan Hagi squinted at her.

Guo Baochan was stunned for a moment, remembering that the palace bought fat powder from Yan Hao's shop, and reached out to hug Yan Hao and smiled, "I only said I don't mind, and I said I didn't want to buy it, don't worry, no one can steal the business in your store." ”

"That's pretty much it, otherwise, my friends wouldn't have to do it." Yan Hagi said with an arrogant face.

Laughing, entering the city, Guo Baochan changed back to the carriage of the palace and went back to their respective homes.

In the evening, Fu Zhixing came back and asked casually, "Have you had a good time at today's banquet?" ”

"It's alright." Yan Hagi helped him untie his belt, "By the way, the county lord of Ruining also went to the banquet today." ”

Fu Zhixing frowned and didn't say anything.

After more than ten days, King Lu accepted a concubine, who was born in the Cheng'en Mansion and was the concubine of Cheng'en's uncle. Hearing the news, Yan Hao knew the intention of the county lord of Ruining to participate in the banquet, and said in a sighing tone, "The Chengen Mansion has fallen. ”
