Ninety-sixth, the palace banquet is ugly

There is also a palace banquet today, Jiang Ziyu shouted Xingyu to dress her up, put on a luxurious palace dress, and still sat in a chair with her legs crossed and waited for Nan Huaifeng to enter the palace together.

In the past, Nan Huaifeng and Nan Qian'an sat on the main seat together, but today he took the initiative to change his position to the head of the dragon chair, which can be regarded as telling others in disguise that now An'er has gradually taken power.

It's just that many people haven't taken this matter to heart, how old is Nan Qian'an? Eleven-year-old little hairy child, even if Nan Huaifeng doesn't control the government at all, can he handle it himself?

Because of Nan Qian'an, the original banquet of hundreds of officials has also become a banquet that can bring officials and dependents, so the queen mother and many eldest princesses came, but fortunately, the place in this Yueqitai is large enough, even if a hundred tables are placed in, it is not crowded.

The three members of the Wen family also came to this banquet, they couldn't eat with Nan Huaifeng last night, so Nan Huaifeng sent it away on the grounds that he had a foreign man, and he said that he would follow him into the palace this morning, and Nan Huaifeng would let them.

Aunt Wen was very excited when she entered the palace for the first time, and she couldn't hide her joy after entering the Yueqi Terrace, it was the first time she had participated in such a grand banquet. There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles, if their sons and daughters can get to know more noble friends, won't their Wen family be able to stabilize their foothold in the capital?

Jiang Ziyu yawned and watched the people in the music workshop in front of her perform songs and dances, she held her face and took a sip of wine with a lack of interest.

"It's better to sleep in the palace." Jiang Ziyu felt that this banquet was really boring, and a group of people were sitting in a precarious position, with a fake smile on their faces, so boring.

Nan Huaifeng chuckled lightly, and reached out to add her a glass of wine: "It's just once a year, bear with it." ”

Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows undeniably, and looked sideways at Nan Qian'an, who was sitting on a high seat, this child's gaze had always been locked on Qian Qian, who came with Mrs. Zhang and Meng Yuanren.

Mrs. Zhang's mansion was also changed to Meng's mansion, Meng Yuanren was an official of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally there was a post inviting him to the palace banquet, and he also wanted his mother to come out and walk around more, but he couldn't leave his young sister at home alone, so he simply brought it together.

Fortunately, Sissi was well-behaved, and she was not noisy on this occasion, and sat obediently between her mother and brother, watching the song and dance in the middle with great interest.

This scene fell into the eyes of Meng Hou on the other side, and Meng Hou was about to breathe fire in his heart. In the end, he still invited the dusty woman into the door, but he couldn't give her the status of his wife, and now Mrs. Menghou's position was vacant, he didn't want to bring the concubine in when he entered the palace, but he couldn't stand her and kept begging to come, so Meng Hou could only grit his teeth and bring her up.

Such a belt is good, and many people laugh at him in and out of words. said that he didn't even keep the champion son after giving up the door for a woman who couldn't get on the stage.

Meng Hou couldn't raise her head in front of her colleagues, but this woman was very proud and proud, and others looked down on her background, but she still entered the palace and sat on an equal footing with these people.

After the end of the song and dance, it is the meal time, although the etiquette rules of the Chu State are numerous, but they are also relatively lenient, especially at this kind of annual banquet, in order to be festive and lively, not to let the hall be lifeless, the officials are allowed to toast back and forth.

Jiang Ziyu drank wine with her head bored, and occasionally ate a few chopsticks dishes, the food cooked by the palace kitchen was naturally good, and she was happy to eat a few bites.

"Brother and sister-in-law of the emperor have a cup, I wish my brother and sister-in-law can always be together." King Rui came over with a wine glass, but what he said was yin and yang, which made people uncomfortable to hear.

Jiang Ziyu didn't bother to pay attention to him, he didn't even raise his eyelids to eat by himself, Nan Huaifeng held the wine glass and said lightly: "Fifth brother is polite." ”

King Rui glanced at Jiang Ziyu and smiled without saying a word, and Nan Huai said with a cool smile: "Fifth brother, let's go back and see your side concubines, I'm afraid I will be unhappy for a while." ”

Nan Zhenyi raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, turned around and went back. Wei Yao stared at Jiang Ziyu's angry eyes and wanted to breathe fire, since her mother's family was not in power, King Rui no longer favored her much, but even more favored Miss Li of the Li family, Li Luyao, who entered the door.

This Li Luyao is used to pretending, pretending to be timid and weak in front of King Rui, but when King Rui is not there, he is arrogant in front of her, so he is not majestic. Wei Yao was angry and argued with her a few times, but was punished by King Rui.

Wei Yao sat in the banquet and watched Li Luyao coquettish with King Rui again, and got up sullenly and walked out of the hall.

"Lord Wang, Yao'er is a little scared when she participates in this kind of banquet for the first time." Li Luyao seemed to be insecure and wanted to lean into King Rui's arms, but this time King Rui did not pity her again.

Instead, he replied emotionlessly: "It's also a side concubine, and it's still more stable in this kind of scene." ”

When King Rui said this, his eyes were glancing at Jiang Ziyu, who had been immersed in his own world as if no one was around, no matter how noisy she was, she was always as indifferent as water.

Jiang Ziyu lowered his eyes and frowned, as if he always felt that something was wrong, since King Rui returned to Beijing to see her, every time he behaved differently.

Nan Qian'an sat on the dragon chair with a sad face, how could she eat with Sissi logically and not arouse other people's ideas? He thought about it for a while and decided to get up and go to Uncle Huang's side to eat.

When he first got up, many people looked at him, and it wasn't until he sat down next to Nan Huaifeng in the surprised eyes of everyone that the others tacitly chuckled silently - he was still a milk doll who couldn't do without Nan Huaifeng.

In this way, there are fewer people who pay attention to Nan Qian'an, instead of looking at how Nan Huaifeng takes care of the children, it is better to take this opportunity to make more friends.

Seeing that this trick was okay, Nan Qian'an waited for a while, whispered a word to the imperial uncle, and then got up again and went from an inconspicuous place to where Mrs. Zhang was.

It's just that when he went, Mrs. Zhang was looking at the woman in front of her with a bad face, and Xiao Qianqian also looked serious, as if she hated the person in front of her.

"Dan'er still thanks Mrs. for her accomplishment, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhi's interest and initiative to leave, Dan'er is afraid that it will not be possible to enter this house." The one who spoke was the dusty woman whom Meng Hou had to marry, this woman's figure was excellent, she looked weak and boneless, with a thin waist and wide hips, and a slim long skirt that outlined her graceful posture clearly.

Mrs. Zhang didn't want to deal with her, she didn't give her a good look, Dan'er didn't care, and continued to chuckle: "It won't be long before Mrs. Hou's position is mine, and when the feng shui turns around, it's time for you to salute me." ”

Dan'er was a little proud in her eyes, when she was about to enter the house, this woman gave her a lot of power, and it was useless for her to kneel and beg, but now she still entered the Hou Mansion?

"You're worthy?" Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but retort and asked her to salute a person from a lowly background, which was absolutely impossible.

Dan'er was not annoyed when she heard this, but said with a smile: "It's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy or not, if you want me to say that you might as well send Lingqian back to the Hou Mansion, the daughter of the Hou Mansion is much more expensive than her current status gold." I will also love her well and find her a good family. ”

Hearing this, Sissi hugged her mother tightly, so she didn't want to go back with this woman, she wanted to follow her mother.

"Sissi and my eldest brother, outsiders don't have to worry about it, some people can't become a phoenix when they fly on the branches, maybe it's just a grass chicken standing tall."

Meng Yuanren even ridiculed people with a lot of energy, and his speech was still warm and clear, which made people feel comfortable to listen to. Dan'er frowned, gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger, looked at Mrs. Zhang's face full of ridicule, and couldn't help but splash the wine directly on her. The people around instantly quieted down and looked at this side, Nan Qian'an had already listened behind him at this time, and walked to Mrs. Zhang's side with a small body.

"Madam, my aunt said that she wanted to see Sissi, let me take Sissi." Nan Qian'an spoke very politely, which made Mrs. Zhang a little uneasy, "Since it is the princess's meaning, you can go over Sissi." ”

Meng Lingqian looked at her mother with some concern, Nan Qian'an took her little hand, pinched it gently, and then said to the palace people behind her with great momentum: "Take Madame to the apse to change clothes." ”

Mrs. Zhang thanked her gratefully, and when Nan Qian'an was about to go back, she suddenly stopped as if she remembered something, turned to look at Dan'er, who was already stunned, and frowned slightly, "I know your identity, and because of Meng Hou's face today, I won't punish you for making a banquet, but if you disturb the interest of others, I will never keep you here." ”

Dan'er also reacted at this time, and had disdain for Nan Qian'an, who looked like a child, but still pretended to kneel down and admit her mistake, Nan Qian'an didn't fail to see her attitude, and she didn't go to her heart, but said in a small but imposing voice: "Listening to what you just said, I think Meng Hou has already redeemed you." ”

"If you want to be Mrs. Hou, that's your business with Meng Hou, but I don't know if all the officials and relatives are willing to sit on an equal footing with you."

Nan Qian'an's words immediately provoked the relationship between the Marquis of Changping and other princes and ministers, they are all people with heads and faces, and his wife is even more of a high-ranking daughter, why should she be on an equal footing with a girl who has a hook?

Meng Hou lowered his head at this time, and the voices of the people around him came over with ridicule and sarcasm, and he couldn't raise his head at all, looking at Dan'er still kneeling on the ground, obviously he didn't know the true meaning of the emperor's words just now, he only felt ashamed, and hurriedly got up and pulled her out, the emperor didn't blame it, it was already heaven's grace, and it was really shameless to stay again.

Dan'er was still a little unhappy when she was dragged out, but when she saw that Hou Ye's face was not good, she was also busy comforting, and her soft voice also coaxed Meng Hou to feel that she had face again.

When Mrs. Zhang came out again, she saw Nan Qian'an beside Jiang Ziyu feeding her daughter, and she couldn't help but rub her eyebrows - she didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

When she sat back in her place, her eldest son had told her everything that had just happened, and Mrs. Zhang felt relieved at the same time, she couldn't stop worrying, what her daughter's future would be was no longer within her control.

Jiang Ziyu glanced at An'er, who was obsessed with feeding, this kid really thought about what to do in the future from the beginning of his moves, first he got down and sat down next to Nan Huaifeng to make others lose attention to him, and then quietly slipped to Mrs. Zhang's side, and even thought of a way not to be criticized, this kid is much smarter than the wooden fool next to him who only knows how to watch her.

Nan Huaifeng knew that Ziyu must be slandering him at this time, and he didn't care at all, his eyes still fell on Ziyu's body, and her every move attracted him deeply, so that he couldn't take his eyes off.
