Chapter 303: Palace Banquet
It wasn't until the day she accompanied the eldest princess of Jinyang into the palace that Li Jingyi remembered that she didn't bother to ask Yun Chi Niangniang about choosing a wife for him!
But thinking about his appearance at the time, I am afraid that the purpose of this palace banquet may not be clear to him.
But it was also because she knew the purpose of Yunhou, Li Jingyi got up early in the morning and carefully dressed up.
The eldest princess of Jinyang in Xian'an Courtyard looked at her daughter in a peach-colored gold-lined gown with a green eight-panel skirt, and smiled with satisfaction, "That's it, how old are you, can't you learn from us, wear old-fashioned clothes, how good it is, look at it!" ”
Li Jingyi pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the eldest princess of Jinyang, and helped her pick out an apricot yellow palace dress with her own hands, "Mother said daughter, but in the eyes of her daughter, mother is also just right, you can't dress up like those old ladies in an old-fashioned manner, you listen to your daughter, just wear this." ”
Seeing that the two masters were in a good mood, Aunt Zhu laughed on the side, "Isn't it, Your Highness, our young county lord is also like a little girl, as soon as I enter the palace today, people will think that this is a pair of sisters from which house!" ”
"Hey, it doesn't matter if she's big or small, even you come to make fun of me," the eldest princess of Jinyang glanced at Aunt Zhu, and didn't brush off her daughter's kindness, and put on the apricot yellow palace suit, "Don't dare to jump off the jewelry too much, otherwise you will really become an old goblin." ”
"Mother rest assured, even if our mother and daughter put all the lotus flowers on their heads today, they won't be able to take away the demeanor of others," Li Jingyi smiled and picked out two long hairpins made of lapis lazuli from the makeup box of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and curled the hair of the eldest princess of Jinyang, "It's not that you don't know what the mother is going to do today." ”
As soon as Li Jingyi said this, the eldest princess of Jinyang laughed, "That's right, this time it's a rare opportunity," she winked at Li Jingyi, lowered her voice and said, "If you want me to tell me, if you have a daughter, you will naturally marry Enyihou, and the fool will be sent to the palace!" ”
Don't look at the work of only two days, someone has already come to the eldest princess's mansion to walk around, and it is no one else who is invited, this Xifu Ding family and Mrs. Wang have already come to each other, and they have followed the names of several young ladies intentionally or unintentionally during the chat.
Whether it is Li Yuantang or Fang Weimin, the official is not up to the fourth grade, and he can't enter the upper-level social circle at all, Rao is like this, after two days of hard work, someone has already walked on their heads, which shows the attraction of this Mrs. Enyihou.
Thinking of the hard work of these people, Li Jingyi was a little unhappy in her heart, and sneered, "Isn't it, there are mothers and concubines in the palace, instead of boiling people in the palace, it is really better to be a high-ranking Mrs. Hou!" ”
This little abacus even the eldest princess of Jinyang came over, she looked at her daughter's more and more delicate face, and knew in her heart that the Rong family's family affair had wronged her daughter, if she had married her daughter to Yun Chi, she was afraid that Yun Hou would not agree.
It's a pity that now that her daughter is returning home, how can the position of Mrs. Enyihou not fall on Li Jingyi's head, the eldest princess of Jinyang sighed, and was bored with those who wanted to marry their daughter to Yun Chi for no reason, "When the emperor chose the concubine, you said that we should interfere less, and now that Yun Yingchu is married to a wife, it doesn't matter to us, it's better not to go at all." ”
Why don't you go? Of course I'm going, Li Jingyi made a note for Yun Chi in the little book in her heart, "We have changed our clothes, and if we find an excuse not to go, the palace will definitely send someone to ask, it's better to follow and be lively, speaking of which, there are many people who go to today, and my daughter has no impression." ”
What the eldest princess of Jinyang said was just angry words, and now she was about to go out, so naturally there was no reason not to go temporarily, "Let's go, I hope the lotus flowers in Taiye Pond are really good today." ”
Today's palace banquet Queen Yun has put a lot of thought into it, since marrying Zhao Yu, she has never dared to set up a banquet in her palace in order for her husband to be remembered in the capital, but she can't be noticed by the Zeng family, but the flower banquets in various mansions, she will participate on time without missing a leak, and she can't be too eye-catching, stealing the limelight of several princesses,
In this way, every time after going to the banquet, Yun is racking his brains and is very tired, so after Zhao Yu ascended the throne, in addition to the routine court banquet every year, Yun Hou will never find much trouble for herself, and summon the officials and relatives of various provinces into the palace.
is also for this reason, when the post of the palace banquet was sent to each family, the people who received the post were a little confused, and the queen set up a banquet to invite everyone to enjoy the lotus, and actually gave them a post, which is simply terrifying, so the people who received the post were not happy, and they were all called back to the family as soon as possible, and they all figured out the intention of the queen of the clouds together.
Everyone asked each other, and they all probably guessed the meaning of the palace, but I was afraid that the queen was going to choose a brother-in-law for herself.
The Yun family has many royal favors and eyes, and in the eyes of the heads of the family, such a son-in-law is simply a strong reinforcement, and in the eyes of the ladies and wives, there is no father, no mother, no brothers, outstanding appearance, and a proud family, in addition to being a little older, Yun Chi is simply the first candidate for a noble son-in-law in the capital, not to mention that although he is older, it has been delayed because of the Xia family's divorce.
Even if Yunhou is not in a hurry, all the houses are staring at this piece of fragrant bread, but Yun Chi has always been respectful and distant to all the mansions in the capital, and many families are suffering from not being able to talk, now it's okay, the queen's post is down, at least it shows that the person who received the post, the daughter is in the eyes of the mother.
When the eldest princess of Jinyang and Li Jingyi arrived at the palace gate, they saw that a row of carriages had been parked there, "It seems that there are many people who have received the post today." ”
Not only the prefectures that received the post, Zhou Yan also brought a few people to Yunhou this time, Li Jingyi smiled, and waited for the little eunuch to come to the front of the car to greet her, and helped her mother get out of the car, "Alas, if I have an older brother and younger brother, our house will be so lively!" ”
"You girl, you actually came to pluck your mother," recently, the eldest princess of Jinyang also gave birth to the idea of "it would be nice to have a son", but unfortunately when she understood, she was already old, and the relationship with her husband was so cold that it was impossible to have a chance to turn around, "If you really want a younger brother, you just tell your father, what kind of woman he fancies, I will fulfill him!" ”
"Mother, you are saying in vain, even if you are not the eldest princess, he will not take a concubine," Li Jingyi muttered in a low voice and helped the eldest princess of Jinyang to the green oil sedan chair prepared at the palace gate, "I went to the Hou Mansion to find out that the Hou Mansion does not have this rule!" ”
If she said that when she was in Zhuzhou, for the sake of the future of the Li family, she also intended to persuade Li Yuanshan to take a concubine and have a child, now this idea has long been driven away without a trace, "According to what you said, if I have no children in the future, I will be concubineed by Yibin?" ”
"Naturally, it can't," the eldest princess of Jinyang blurted out, and immediately pulled Li Jingyi and said, "Aren't you pushing all day long and don't want to get married?" ”
How can you take the initiative to talk about these words at this time?
Li Jingyi smiled, "Isn't this touching the scene?" ”
She looked at the delicate embroidery on the car curtain, and couldn't help but think farther, although Zhou Shiqing said that her body was healed, and there would be no hindrance to the heirs in the future, but she had a miscarriage and was immersed in the cold river water overnight, who could really promise her the future?
The eldest princess of Jinyang doesn't care what Li Jingyi is thinking, Li Jingyi refused to talk about marriage before, but now that she has this idea, it is no better, this pushing and walking is not the same as being willing to go, "Then I will ask someone to write a post when I go back, and we will also have a treat in the house!" ”
Li Jingyi was made to cry and laugh by the sudden interest of the eldest princess of Jinyang, "Mother is preparing to feast on the sons of various mansions?" ”
"Ah, is this," is it true, no matter how eldest she is, she can't ask the ladies of all the prefectures to bring the sons of the right age to be guests, "Then isn't it your father to hold a banquet in the Hou Mansion?" Well, I'll take you with me then, and we'll be in a hurry. ”
It is suitable for Li Jingyi to be a guest of honor, especially if there are not many candidates to enter the Marquis Mansion, the eldest princess of Jinyang pondered back and forth in her heart, what kind of reason she had to find in order to bring these people to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.
"Mother, you are really, okay, let's talk about my business later, let's see who is here today," Li Jingyi said helplessly.
The eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't pull her thoughts back from her daughter's family affairs, "Alas, a few days ago, I heard that the Tanhualang of the Tian family was going to go abroad?" How so? The Tian family doesn't even have the ability to keep a son in the capital? Although she didn't know the Tian family, she still felt that Tian Chao was the best candidate for her son-in-law, and now that people want to go to Jiangnan, it is inevitable that there will be some regrets.
"If Tian Tanhua stays in the capital, but he is only qualified to boil in the Hanlin Academy, that is, he can be mentioned to walk in front of the palace, and he has to slowly boil it from the seven products, but when it comes to the place, it is the county order, and it is also the real shortage of the seven products.
How fast does it rise? Can you rise to the county lord's honor sooner? The eldest princess of Jinyang pursed her lips disapprovingly, and said in her heart that the Tian family is really short-sighted, staying in the capital and waiting for a while, that is, the family did not choose him, and it is not too late to leave.
"Your Highness, it seems to be the palanquin of the Peiguo Mansion in front of you," she wanted to speak later, when she heard the crisp voice of the little eunuch Duofuer outside.
Duofuer Duoshouer is the little eunuch who came up after the good father-in-law entered the Shuntian Mansion, but because the eldest princess of Jinyang was heartbroken by the good father-in-law, the two new little eunuchs were not allowed to serve by their side, at most they took them to run errands when they went out.
