The people of the Quartet are open, men and women are at the same table at the banquet, and the two ladies have orders on their bodies, so they naturally sit beside their husbands at the banquet, and boudoir women like Wang Junting and Qin Song will be arranged elsewhere.

Although there was still a short time before the palace banquet began, most of the guests were already in their places. Wang Junting accompanied Qin Song to sit in the relatively back position among the nobles.

"Oh, what are you doing here with me? You should ......" Qin Song said, his eyes were on Qi Yiru's side, the position occupied by Qi Caixin, in addition to the prince, princess and the third division, the rank of the left and right ministers in the Manchu Dynasty was the highest, Wang Junting's uncle was the right minister of the dynasty, his father was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he was born in the first wang family in the Quartet, and it was natural that he was listed with Qi Yiru, the daughter of the left minister.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't want to be named to play the piano and sing and show off!"

"But......" Seeing that Qin Song still looked like he wanted to speak and stopped himself dragging her down, Wang Junting pulled her closer and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King An has not returned to Beijing and Zhou at all, and His Royal Highness King Zhao has no interest in playing and singing this time, let them go in vain." "His Royal Highness King An didn't return to Jingzhou?

Qin Song was stunned for a moment, but Wang Junting didn't continue to explain, she didn't ask more, all of this didn't have much to do with her, her main task today was not to lose face for the Qin family.

Turning his head and looking left and right, these women were all fat and powdery, and the gold ornaments in their hair flashed dazzlingly, Qin Song suddenly remembered the rumors that His Royal Highness King Zhao liked gold that day in the Hairpin Yuan Pavilion, could it be ...... It's true?

"Jun Ting, His Royal Highness King Zhao really likes gold?" Wang Junting seemed to be caught by the gold ornaments around him, and when he heard Qin Song ask, the corners of his mouth twitched and asked incredulously: "Do you believe it too?" "Qin Song is not someone who will change his preferences in order to please others.

"Believe it or not, it's not the main thing, I regret that the store didn't have more gold jewellery for sale this time." Thinking about the gold jewelry sales of several jewelry stores in the past few days, Qin Song felt that there was an extra hole in the small gold mountain in his heart.

"Flutter." Wang Junting was immediately amused by her, she thought that Qin Song was interested in Zhou Tianyi's preferences, and was about to explain it to her in detail, but she was blocked back into her intestines by this sentence, so she could only chuckle, patted Qin Song's shoulder, and said, "As you will find out later, they are just wishful thinking." The doubts in Qin Song's eyes flashed, but the time for the palace banquet to start had arrived, and her attention was immediately focused on the front.

Palace banquets are generally held in the imperial palace, and the flowing water palace banquet is special. Because of the tradition of passing vegetables through flowing water, only this annex that brought many living water into the hospital into a stream during the design and construction of the courtyard could be undertaken.

Emperor Zhou Tianlei walked in the front in a black and gold dragon robe, and on the left behind him were Zhou Tianhe, the king of Ping, Huang Haichao, the princess of Ping, Zhou Tianyi, the king of Zhao, and Zhou Tianse, the princess of Changping, and on the right were the queen Lu, the concubine Wang, the eldest prince Zhou Xueli, the second prince Zhou Xueyi and the third prince Zhou Xuezheng.

As usual, the banquet of the Flowing Water Palace should be presided over by the emperor himself, and today, Zhou Tianlei gave this business to Zhou Tianyi to show his attention to his younger brother who has been fighting abroad all the year round.

with the previous in

The back seen by "He's" is different, this time Qin Song sees Zhou Tianyi's front. Although he is far away, he can still see his upright and uninhibited handsome face, and the noble spirit of being born in heaven and the wandering of galloping on the battlefield across the world harmoniously and contradictively gather him, and his speech is serious and sharp, and he can really feel a heroic righteousness between heaven and earth.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a man? However, compared to those, Qin Song cared more about his attire at this time, purple jade and silver crown, silver silk purple robe, which ......

"Gentleman's ......"

"Huh?"

"No, nothing." Even if she had doubts about the origin of her outfit, she couldn't ask about this kind of self-righteousness, and the reason was that she couldn't find a reason.

She didn't know King Zhao, she had a huge disparity with King Zhao's identity, she had nothing to do with King Zhao, why did she get such carefully prepared clothes and accessories?

However, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles, she must stay away from King Zhao today. Wang Junting glanced at Qin Song from the corner of his eyes, but he didn't squeak.

She expected that Zhou Tianyi would work her dress today, but she didn't expect it to be so exposed, purple jade is the same origin, purple silk is the same material, if these two people stand together, people who don't know anything can also see something.

Wang Junting frowned and pondered, Zhou Tianyi is a thoughtful person, since he cares about Qin Song, he will protect her thoroughly, but what he is doing now is tantamount to pushing her to the forefront?

Looking in Qin Song's direction again, she was already thinking about whether it was right for her to help Zhou Tianyi send the hairpin and clothes.

After the speech, the song and dance began, and the palace banquet began. This was originally a banquet for Zhou Tianmu and Zhou Tianyi to choose a concubine, so after a few songs and dances, the stage in front of the palace became a place for the women of the family to compete, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, each doing their best.

……

"Hmph, these two sisters of the Qi family are interesting this time?" Looking at Qi Yiru and Qi Caixin, who deliberately came to the stage to perform at the end, Wang Junting sneered.

This Qi Yiru and Qi Caixin have never been on the same page, Qi Caixin is strong and domineering, Qi Yiru hides needles in the cotton, in most cases, Qi Yiru will only avoid Qi Caixin's edge, this time I don't know how, but it is a rivalry?

"I think ...... That Highness is even more interesting. Qin Song smiled, she has been in business for many years, and she is used to observing words and feelings, so she noticed that no matter how well the girl on stage performs, as long as she looks at King Zhao after the performance, he will nod his head slightly to express his approval, and such a natural behavior does not seem to be intentional at all.

Contact before meeting on the black market, in

"Madame" and

After a small misunderstanding of the "girl", he did this to her

The "Jianghu people" apologized without a frame, which shows this person's attitude towards others.

"What a commendable bearing." This is Qin Song's heartfelt praise as a woman.

"Then you can go up and walk around!" Wang Junting knew what Qin Song's so-called bearing was, and that was what she admired most about Zhou Tianyi, in front of him, no matter whether he was noble or low, he was willing to give the other party basic respect.

"Miss Qi came to the stage after the press to make the finale, how can I not have self-knowledge? Besides, don't be embarrassed about my little ability. Qin Song spread his hands and shook his head, his attainments in music and rhythm were mediocre, and almost all of his drawings were drawn to design new hairpins for the store, and the words were written well, but so what?

Compared with the family, she is already a cut lower in status in the first place, and her public display will only provoke criticism.

The palace banquet is related to the image of the Qin family, and the eldest brother is not there, she must be cautious when she attends alone.

"It is my luck that there are many talented and beautiful people!" Zhou Tianlei, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not hesitate to appreciate, waved his hand and rewarded all the children of the family who came to the stage today, after the monarch and the ministers drank a glass of wine to celebrate, he turned to look at Zhou Tianyi and said: "Ninth brother, you have also reached the age of starting a family, and today the second brother will be the master and promise you a happy marriage!" When he said this, Zhou Tianlei's face was slightly red, as if he was a little drunk, but he didn't joke, and this marriage was unavoidable.

Hearing this, Zhou Tianyi glanced at the direction where the ladies were, got up and saluted,

"In this way, the younger brother will thank the royal brother first." That's agreed? Zhou Tianlei's old god flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes, Zhou Tianyi was powerful, he not only wanted to give him an eyeliner by his side, but also wanted to weaken his power, he didn't believe that his younger brother, who had been smart since he was a child, didn't understand it at all, why did he agree like this?

Entering and exiting the court all the year round, his nose smelled the smell of conspiracy, but he didn't dare to say anything more at once.

Not only Zhou Tianlei, but even Zhou Tianhe looked at his younger brother with doubts on his face, seeing Zhou Tianyi's obedient and determined appearance, he hesitated for a while, but still withdrew his eyes, and was not ready to ask.

As for the noble daughters, the two sisters of the Qi family were nervous. His Majesty had already communicated with his father and wanted to give the daughter of the Qi family to King Zhao, although he did not say which daughter of the Qi family, but the Qi family has two daughters, either Qi Yiru or Qi Caixin, and today the talents of the two are equal, I really don't know who can get the title of the concubine of King Zhao.

"Ninth brother, I look at this-" No one spoke for a long time before Zhou Tianlei reacted and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

A few days ago, the servant came to report that Zhou Tianyi went to the palace craftsman to make two hairpins and sent them to the Wang family, thinking that he had fallen in love with Wang Junting, the Wang family tree has deep roots and even he has some scruples, but he can't let them become in-laws!

"Brother Huang, the younger brother wants to marry Qin Song as a concubine." Zhou Tianlei's speech speed is obviously not as fast as Zhou Tianyi, and his voice is not as loud as Zhou Tianyi, so he

The words after the "Ninth Brother" were not heard by the courtiers and ladies who sat farther away at all, but Zhou Tianyi's voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.

Not to mention the other people present, even Wang Junting and Wang Huangzhi, who knew Zhou Tianyi's intentions, were dumbfounded, what did Zhou Tianyi want to do today?

If the marriage partner is Qin Song, it is categorically out of place now, and it is not necessary that it will be self-defeating.

"Qin Song? Where is Qin Song? At this time, Zhou Tianlei's voice increased a lot, and he searched around in his memory and didn't find out which girl Qin Song's name corresponded to, but listening to Zhou Tianyi's tone, this girl must be present today.

"Call you! Call you! Qin Song! Finding that Qin Song, who was sitting beside him, did not react, Wang Junting hurriedly stabbed her with his arm.

"Huh?" Like waking up from a dream, Qin Song looked at Wang Junting steadily, countless buildings collapsed in her mind, and after being pinched by Wang Junting's hand, she calmed down a little, inhaled and got up, and walked slowly to the front of the palace from the last of the attendees, during which she tried her best to adjust her body and mind.

The spring breeze is blowing, the evening fragrance is pleasant, and the purple clothes are fluttering, like real and illusory.

"Qin Song, the people's daughter, long live my emperor!" This short journey made Qin Song recover most of it, her voice was cold and calm, and she respectfully knelt and bowed in front of the palace.

Folk girl? Only then did Zhou Tianlei remember that this palace banquet invited the wealthy family, and Qin Song was the only daughter of the Weilong Qin family, one of the three wealthy families in the Quartet.

His ninth brother doesn't understand it at all, he understands it all, the Qin family is rich and rivals the country, and although the head of the Qin family has two sons, there is only this one daughter, once Zhou Tianyi marries Qin Song, he can get the full support of the Qin family, thinking of this, Zhou Tianlei's face sank, and he raised his hand slightly and said, "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Song got up and stood beside Zhou Tianyi with his head bowed, both of them were dressed in purple, and the silver threads on their clothes trembled, and they looked very right under the bright lights around them.

Qin Song secretly glanced sideways at Zhou Tianyi, he was smiling gently at her with that serious and uninhibited face, and his dark eyes were full of brilliance, as if he was only blooming for her.

Qin Song's breath stagnated, and he immediately lowered his head again.

"Brother Huang, Miss Qin Song is a good match for her younger brother." Zhou Tianyi saluted again, urging Zhou Tianlei to fulfill the preface and give marriage.

Hearing this, Qin Song frowned and pursed his lips, clasped his hands tightly, and his heart was even more uneasy. This is too sudden and unexpected, she, she doesn't know King Zhao at all, how did she become a good match?

Now the emperor obviously doesn't want to give marriage, and King Zhao is staring at the urging, she ...... What should she do?

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll keep you safe." Zhou Tianyi's ethereal but powerful voice reached his heart, Qin Song subconsciously looked at the people around him, and he only nodded to her.

She suddenly calmed down, and settled down to rethink all aspects of this request for marriage.

"Ninth brother, the girl hasn't spoken yet." Zhou Tianlei looked like a joke, but he was forcing Qin Song to express his position, and in the interval, a close attendant had already reported to him the relationship between King Zhao and the Qin family, which had no special relationship at all, and his younger brother didn't know Qin Song, and he asked to marry the daughter of the Qin family just to let him dispel the idea of marriage.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianlei felt that as long as Qin Song was not stupid, he knew what kind of answer could protect the Qin family.

"Brother Qin naturally respects Miss Qin's wishes." Zhou Tianyi smiled slightly, his face full of confidence. Qin Song felt that there was a lot of gold on his body, should he be willing or unwilling?

Wait-A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, she raised her head and smiled, and replied: "Your Majesty, marriage is the order of your parents, and neither of your father and brother are in Beijing or Zhou, Qin Song does not dare to decide on lifelong events. "A woman is reserved, and according to the law of etiquette, she should not decide on her own marriage.

Zhou Tianlei nodded in approval and said, "Tianyi, Miss Qin's father and brother are not incompatible with etiquette, you can bear with it for the time being, when the Qin family returns to Beijing, Miss Qin nods, and I will give you a marriage!" "As long as you don't make a decree to promote this marriage today, won't it be easy to stop it in the future?

"The younger brother should be a gentleman and treat Miss Qin Song and the elders of the Qin family with the approval."

"Hmm." After Zhou Tianlei responded, he felt in a trance, but he didn't find anything wrong with it, all in all, today his decree was not completed, and Zhou Tianyi's request was not fulfilled, which is considered a draw.

It seemed that she flew at a low altitude, and Qin Song breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but the sight of the nobles behind her made her feel like she was on pins and needles, and secretly screamed that it was not good, thinking that her peaceful life was coming to an end.

Qin Song was thinking about his own business, and he didn't notice that Zhou Tianyi beside him deliberately blocked her sideways.
