After the beginning of spring, it is popular to hold spring banquets among the nobles in the capital.

It is nothing more than some noble ladies with comparable family backgrounds and identities, gathering together in the garden to recite poems and paint, and chat about idle days.

This is what we are used to doing every year, and this year is a little different, because everyone knows that Miss Zhou is the candidate for the future queen, so this spring banquet should start with Miss Zhou.

Miss Zhou didn't have this mind herself.

Although her grandfather Qiqi's filial piety period has passed and has been removed, she remembers her grandmother's explanation in her heart, saying that now everyone in the capital knows that she will be the future queen, and her words and deeds will be paid more attention to, and she must be more cautious in her words and deeds at this time.

Therefore, except for old friends like Miss Li, the priest of the country's priest restaurant, and people who will also enter the palace in the future, she rarely interacts with the rest of the nobles in the capital.

There is a teacher in the palace who stays in Zhou's mansion, and often teaches Miss Zhou various palace etiquette rules, she learns the rules at home, and her life is quiet.

Miss Li sent a letter to Miss Zhou, saying that although she should not see many people now, the Spring Festival banquet in the boudoir is also a serious matter, and she should not be too avoidant of people, and it is better to continue to do these things that she is used to doing.

First, she can also scatter her heart, and secondly, lest others say that she will be a queen, and she will take it big, regardless of the handkerchief of the past.

Miss Zhou thought about it, took the letter and went back to her grandmother, planning to hold a spring banquet in the garden at home, and Mrs. Zhou naturally did not disagree.

"The girl of the Li family is right, although she must be chaste and quiet as a queen, she can't be too withdrawn. Besides, the Queen Mother has designated you as the queen, and there are other people who have received the emperor's tokens, and they will all be concubines in the future. If you get more familiar with those women in advance, won't it be more harmonious to enter the palace together in the future? ”

Miss Zhou made a note of it, and went back to the list of guests to be invited, in addition to those who had to be invited in previous years, this year she invited all the women who were going to be Yuanzhi's concubines in the future, including Miss Li.

After thinking about it, I heard that the second prince's family affairs had also been decided, so I added another Miss Xue from Xue Ge's hometown to the list.

When they get married in the future, how can they say that they are also concubines?

Miss Zhou thought about it for two days, and suddenly remembered last year's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, when it seemed that she was on the list of people who were in the limelight, and there should be nothing missing......

Oh yes!

She turned around and asked Mama who was following her to teach etiquette, "Mama does you know that Miss Su of the old Su family's family is still not in the capital now?" ”

The grandmothers came out of the palace, and they often returned to the palace after coming to the Zhou Mansion, they were still nominally people in the palace, and they came to the Zhou Mansion only to teach the future queen, and they still had to go back when the queen entered the palace in the future.

Because of frequent exchanges, the news is naturally better than Miss Zhou in the boudoir.

Hearing Miss Zhou ask, she said, "It's still there." I heard that the princess was chosen for the second prince a while ago, and this Miss Su is also a popular candidate, and I heard that Old Lord Su went to the emperor to ask for it several times. ”

When Miss Zhou heard this, she pursed her lips and did not put pen to paper.

When this Miss Su first met in Zhenbaozhai, she looked like she was bound to win the queen's position, probably because she offended the queen mother and the emperor at that time, so she had no chance to be the queen, let alone the queen.

I didn't expect to want to marry the second prince again.

Miss Zhou looked down on this Miss Su in her heart, she was arrogant and domineering, she didn't have enough talent in her stomach, and she was embarrassed to take the initiative to perform in front of the emperor.

As a result, she was casually suppressed by her and Miss Li.

Speaking of which, she and Miss Li didn't mean to suppress Miss Su at the beginning, but Miss Su was not a serious lady in the capital, and she didn't have enough vision, so she was nervous and timid on that occasion, and she lost before fighting.

It wasn't her kite playing skills that she lost, but her heart.

In fact, she also looked down on Lao Su, knowing what her niece was like, knowing that her niece was arrogant and domineering and offended the queen mother and the emperor, not to mention bringing people into the palace to ask for guilt, but embarrassed to ask for the position of the second princess.

But she thought about it and quickly suppressed it.

Lao Su is the elder of the Queen Mother, and she will also be her elder in the future, not to mention that she is still an important minister in the court, and it is not her turn to criticize in her heart.

Although her grandfather also criticized on his deathbed, her grandfather could criticize, but she couldn't.

She thought about it a lot, and she didn't know how her brain turned, and suddenly thought of the handsome young emperor's upright figure, and her face turned slightly red.

Seeing her holding the pen in a daze, Mama couldn't help but gently remind, "Miss, are you going to invite Miss of the Su family?" ”

Miss Zhou respects these grandmothers from the palace very much, and when she heard her ask, she said, "Does Grandma have any good proposals?" ”

Mama smiled, "Miss is going to hold a spring banquet, this is a happy thing, you don't have to abide by any rules and etiquette." The slave maid only taught the young lady etiquette, and did not dare to say much about other things. ”

Miss Zhou knew that the people who came out of the palace were particular about what they said, and she didn't take it seriously, so she just said: "Mama taught me, and I am grateful." And because Mama has a wide range of knowledge, she is always willing to ask Mama when she encounters troubles, and ask Mama for advice. ”

When the grandmother heard her say this, she dared to say a few more words, "Actually, I don't have anything else to say, I just want to remind Miss that this Miss Su lost the election of the imperial concubine and the second princess, and she was not happy in her heart." Miss invited her to the Spring Banquet at this time, but I was afraid that she might not be happy. ”

Miss Zhou paused, "What does that mean that Mama doesn't have to invite her?" ”

Mama shook her head, "On the contrary, it's better for Miss to invite her." After all, she is the niece of Lao Su, and for the sake of Lao Su's face, Miss will also invite. Even if she is not happy, it is a big deal to say that she is sick when she receives the post. But if Miss doesn't post, it's Miss Etiquette is not good. ”

Miss Zhou suddenly realized.

She hesitated for a long time whether to invite this Miss Su, and after listening to Mama's words, she understood everything, even if she didn't like Miss Su, she still had to please.

Linked to the recent series of actions in the DPRK, it is obvious that the power of the old Su is not as strong as before.

The more this is the case, the more she can't be lazy as the future queen.

Otherwise, others will say that she worships high and low, or even more exaggerated, and will take her mind as the instructions of the queen mother and the emperor.

That's trouble.

She thought about it, added Miss Su's name to the list, then put down the pen, picked up the paper and blew it, "Everyone is listed, I'll get up and look twice tomorrow morning, if there is no problem, you can write a post and invite everyone to come." ”

Mama saw that she was very old and proper at a young age, smiled with satisfaction, and couldn't help nodding.

In two years, the new queen will enter the palace, but I am afraid that it will be more appropriate than now, and the queen mother will be satisfied with her teaching in the past two years, and the reward is indispensable.
