Chapter 5, give a small gift

The closer it was to March 15, the longer Qin Song looked at the invitation placed in a conspicuous place in the study.

There is almost no chance for Shang Jia to participate in the royal palace banquet, this time the emperor is so generous, of course her Qin family will seize the opportunity to show her face in front of a group of officials, and it will be convenient for her to act in the future.

Therefore, as soon as she received the invitation, she sent a letter to her brother Qin Feng, but the eldest brother said that he couldn't come back, and she was in charge of the palace banquet.

She calls the shots? What is she going to do? She has been to a lot of big and small banquets since she was a child, but she has never been to the palace banquet, there are so many rules in the heavenly family, and if you don't pay attention to your little life, it will be gone!

"Hmm......" Two days ago, my best friend Wang Junting had already come to teach her a lesson, patting her chest and promising that even if she didn't listen to those complicated rules, she would attend the palace banquet in Qin Song's current appearance, and she would not let others criticize the Qin family, but this was a premise, and she couldn't attract too much attention.

The main purpose of this palace banquet is to choose a concubine for King An and King Zhao, which girl will be targeted if she is in the limelight, and once she is targeted, it may be difficult to cope with the rest of the matter.

"Miss, miss, Miss Junting sent something over." As soon as Qin Song raised his eyes, he saw Yuesheng and Yueluo holding two wooden boxes in their hands, this time, the Bone-eyed Wang family sent her something, it must have come to relieve her, right?

"Open it and take a look."

"Oh, this hairpin is so beautiful, and the clothes are also beautiful, Miss, try it." Qin Song's gaze moved from the purple jade silver hairpin in the sandalwood box to the purple silver silk skirt on the side, and then moved back to the silver hairpin.

She is such a knowledgeable person, although the purple jade on this hairpin is only the size of a thumb, it is smooth and shiny, transparent and flawless, and the silver leaves surrounding the purple jade are thin but there are no traces left by polishing, and the leaves are also inlaid with small pieces of purple jade embellishment, which shows that the craftsman has made very good use of the remaining materials, and the polishing is also a first-class craft.

This long hairpin is priceless and is the best of the best!

"Let's go back to the room and try it." Qin Song was not surprised that the Wang family could come up with such a thing. Although the Wang family has been hairpins for generations, they are not poor at all.

As the only family in the 12th family of Zhuhua that is still active on the watch stage, the famous Wang family, which has accumulated for thousands of years for hundreds of generations, can be said to be full of gold.

"Miss, the silver thread on this skirt is so beautiful!" After dressing up Qin Song, several maids of the Yuezi generation followed Qin Song to wander around, and they were all knowledgeable, but they were still full of praise for this set of clothes.

After looking in the mirror and turning around, Qin Song was very satisfied, it was not noticeable from a distance, but it was ingenious when seen closely, it was not easy to cause trouble, and it was not easy to be looked down upon.

And in the royal mansion where this dress and ornament was given, it was a different scene at the moment.

"Jun Ting, you've been staring at me for a long time, even if your brother Tianyi and I look angry and resentful, you won't be like this, right?" From the moment he sat in the study and waited for Wang Huangzhi, Wang Junting, who followed him into the study, sat on the side and stared at him with a strange look, it was difficult to ignore it.

"Hmph, if you want to send clothes, if you want to send hairpins, you can't just send them yourself, why do you want to borrow my name?" Wang Junting raised a smug little face and asked knowingly.

Zhou Tianyi put the book in his hand on the table and asked, "I want to, but will she accept what I sent?" Even if she collects it, will she wear it that day? ”

"Hey, on the day of the palace banquet, Qin Song will definitely scold me to death." Seeing that the previous topic did not embarrass Zhou Tianyi, Wang Junting immediately pulled it back to himself, and his tone was quite aggrieved.

Today, Zhou Tianyi called her out by name as soon as she arrived at the palace, and when she saw that he was carrying two wooden boxes, she thought there was something strange, but it turned out to be ...... As a result, she just sent Qin Song a silver hairpin and a set of clothes in her name.

"You tell me the truth, how did you know Qin Song's size?" She had also seen the clothes beforehand, and it just happened to fit Qin Song, which was definitely not a coincidence.

Zhou Tianyi raised his eyebrows, and only replied with two words,

"Visually." Wang Junting obviously didn't believe it, and then asked, "Then you can also visually check how much I am?" Zhou Tianyi glanced at her, looked her up and down, and then said, "Little girl." "Wang Junting is angry, he is one year younger than Qin Song, and there is indeed a gap in figure, but he won't get this kind of evaluation, right?

At this time, Wang Huangzhi stepped in from outside the door,

"What's the matter, so lively?"

"Big brother, His Royal Highness King Zhao is bullying people!" Wang Junting got up and threw himself at Wang Huangzhi, pretending to look like pear blossoms with rain.

Where could his sister cry like this, Wang Huangzhi patted Wang Junting's shoulder, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, Tianyi didn't bring you something back, you have practiced the score, right?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Wang Junting smiled, said hello and left, his brother came back, and the two of them probably had something important to discuss.

As soon as Wang Junting walked away, Wang Huangzhi praised,

"You can figure it out." He sat down on the chair next to Zhou Tianyi and turned over a teacup to pour tea.

"It's just a little trick, with her cleverness, sooner or later she will see it."

"You don't want her to stay out of it!" Wang Huangzhi understands that at the banquet in the Flowing Water Palace, Qin Song and Zhou Tianyi will definitely get acquainted, and the seemingly low-key set of clothes given by Zhou Tianyi will probably ...... that day I'm afraid it will attract everyone's attention, this bureau, due to his and Wang Junting's selfish acquiescence, Qin Song is unconscious.

"Don't you also want the Qin family to be involved?" Zhou Tianyi asked rhetorically, he is good friends with the Wang family, but the relationship between the Qin family and the Wang family is not bad, and what the Wang family has done recently is clearly to involve the Qin family in the big game of chess in Beijing and Zhou for his own use.

"This matter is more beneficial than disadvantageous to you, to me, and to the Qin family, why not?" Wang Huangzhi smiled and replied naturally, this kind of joint showdown with the Qin family is clearly said to be accepted by the Qin family, but the current variable is that Zhou Tianyi is interested in Qin Song, and in order to cooperate with him, it has become such a hidden state now.

"Don't talk about this, in your opinion, will he do anything about the palace banquet?"

"It's hard to say, but compared to that one, it's imperative that we catch the rats around us first."

"Yes." As he spoke, Zhou Tianyi took out a piece of paper, dipped his brush in the tea, and began to list the names of everyone who was inclined to his side, and then analyzed them with Wang Huangzhi one by one.

The Flowing Water Palace Banquet was held in the Royal Palace, and due to the large number of people invited to the Palace Banquet, and the inspection procedures for entering the Palace were complicated, in the afternoon, the Palace opened its doors to accept the guests to enter in turn.

"The royal palace banquet is no better than others, let's follow me alone today!" After explaining a few more words to the moonset, full moon, and moon screen, Qin Song took Yuesheng to the gate of Qin's mansion, and Wang Junting's carriage was already waiting.

"It's right." As soon as Qin Song was helped into the car, Wang Junting stared at her dress today and looked around again and again.

The combination of light yarn, purple silk and silver silk is like the cold image of Qin Songren in front of the people, and there are no other redundant ornaments in the hair, so the purple jade silver leaf hairpin is particularly eye-catching, and the silver hairpin and the silver silk on the dress complement each other perfectly.

Wang Junting had to sigh at how attentive Zhou Tianyi was to this set of clothes.

"What?" Seeing that Wang Junting was blinking his eyes and almost seeing through himself, Qin Song subconsciously looked at himself as well, didn't she send this dress and hairpin?

Why does it seem like the first time I've seen it now?

"It's okay, I thought it was appropriate, but I didn't expect it to be so suitable." Wang Junting grinned and took the topic, lest Qin Song be suspicious,

"Let's go, we'll have to line up to get in there."

"Why do you take me on a long detour, I myself have ...... in the past" In the city of Beijing and Zhou, the north is noble and the south is cheap, the east is rich and the west is poor.

The royal mansion is located in the north of Beijing and Zhou, and the royal palace where the palace banquet is held is also in the north of Beijing and Zhou.

"You, you, are so shrewd in front of those old men, why aren't you bright now?" Wang Junting waved his hand, signaling Qin Song not to mind too much about his own approach.

This palace banquet made an exception to invite the businessmen and the wealthy family, and the name of it was to attach importance to it, which was in essence the emperor's grace and power, and the emperor wanted to use this palace banquet of the highest standard to tell the wealthy family that no matter how strong the capital is and how solid the net worth, the wealthy family is only the last businessman after all.

If Qin Song went alone, he was afraid that he would be humiliated at the gate of the other courtyard, and the wealthy families who had friendships with the family would have already walked with the family's chariots and horses.

Qin Song was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly,

"Or are you thoughtful."

"Our relationship, who with whom!" When did the friendship between the Wang family and the Qin family begin, in fact, Wang Junting didn't know, perhaps, even the head of the Wang family of this generation didn't know very well.

The Wang family is not involved in commerce, the Qin family does not enter the temple, and the two families are out of the hinterland of Weilong, and while they have been friends for generations, they also maintain a delicate distance.

Wang Junting's impression of the Qin family is mostly from Qin Song, the two are of the same age, they became playmates when they were young, and later Qin Song became a businessman, and she also began to learn the schoolwork that a woman from the family should master, and there were many fewer opportunities to meet than before, but even so, the relationship between the two has never been estranged.

Soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Qin Song lifted the curtain, and saw the gorgeous carriages lined up in an orderly manner from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh,

"There are so many people."

"Your Majesty has invited all the officials and family members from the fourth grade and above, how can there be fewer people?" Wang Junting propped his head and glanced out of the car window, his tone was careless, compared to the big banquet to celebrate the victory, the soldiers wanted to get a rich reward, but unfortunately Zhou Tianlei was jealous of Zhou Tianyi, and the reward to the whole army was only a small favor, and the purpose of the palace banquet to marry King An and King Zhao and then weaken their power was so obvious...... This palace banquet only made her feel depressed.

"Miss, Madam asked the slave maid to pass the word, please go to the east gate with Miss Qin to the banquet with her." As soon as the carriage stopped, the maid beside Mrs. Wang came up.

"I see." When Wang Junting heard this, he grinned happily and nodded immediately, then turned back to Qin Song and said, "My mother is understanding!" "The people who enter from the west gate are all the ladies of the families of the lower official ranks or the ladies who have no orders, and they are mixed, compared to this, the east gate is much quieter, and there is no need to queue up so long.

Although there are many heirs of the Wang family, such a formal banquet can only be attended by the children of the main family and the descendants.

When Wang Junting and Qin Song arrived at the east gate, the Cui family of Wang Shukuang's main room and the Ji family of Wang Xiaomang's main room of the second room were already waiting for them, and the two ladies had always been very fond of Wang Junting, even if Wang Junting was a little late, he didn't blame him, and directly took the two little girls into the east gate.

"Qin family girl, there have always been many palace banquets, you are more with the monarch." Ji knew that this was Qin Song's first time participating in the royal palace banquet, and he told as he walked.
