Chapter 212, scheming
On April 11, the main gate of Zhaowang's Mansion was opened to welcome visitors from all directions.
Steward Chen and Mrs. Rong greeted the guests at the gate and were busy, while Zhou Tianyi, as the host, laughed and chatted with the male guests who came earlier in the main hall, and the female relatives who came with the male guests would be led to the atrium garden by the maids of the palace after the ceremony.
This small banquet was to facilitate Zhou Tianyi to feel the movements of all parties, so Qin Song directly separated the male and female guests when he purchased it, and the province came up with some inexplicable moths.
When the guests were almost there, there was a drinking party in the front yard, which was Zhou Tianyi's idea, this year's summer arrived earlier, and there was already a dull feeling of heat in the wind in early April, and when the sun was high, it was sweaty to move casually.
The small banquet happened to be set in the afternoon when it was not cool, so Zhou Tianyi put his brain on drinks, so many men got together, compared to drinking tea, I am afraid that drinking a little wine will be more refreshing, and he himself, who has been drugged all day long, is also a little greedy.
As soon as he heard that Zhou Tianyi, who had not recovered from his body, wanted to drink, or ice wine with a little cold, Qin Song immediately rejected this plan, but this time, Zhou Tianyi taught her a lesson, talking to those high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, and if she didn't drink some wine to cheer up, she couldn't ask why. This wine hurts his body, and he must drink it.
Qin Song was helpless, so he could only find Shen Buwen and Shen Suyu to ask, can Zhou Tianyi drink now, and if he can, how much is a small amount within the limit? When he understood everything he needed to know, Qin Song slapped a piece of paper on Zhou Tianyi's table, wine can be drunk, ice can't, and the amount can be controlled by himself.
The girl who has become more and more docile recently suddenly became aggressive, and Zhou Tianguang blinked and didn't dare to reply, only nodded in agreement.
The front yard is lively, and the atrium garden is also lively, but with Concubine Qi in charge, a few noble ladies who are arrogant and domineering on weekdays are still somewhat restrained, at least this is not a small tea party and there has been no accident so far.
"Song girl, why didn't I see the little girl of the Yue family who is usually alive and kicking?" Concubine Qi's eyes swept through the atrium garden a few times, and she didn't find Yue Le'er, who was always wearing an eye-catching red dress, so she asked.
"Niangniang, Le'er is sick and lying at home." Qin Song replied, she also heard the word from Yue's house yesterday evening, and the girl who likes to be lively must have wanted to come very much, so she didn't send someone to talk about it until the day before the banquet, so ...... Isn't he very sick? Qin Song thought so, and immediately said, "Tomorrow, Su Yu and I will go to Yue's house to see her, if it is a minor illness like a cold and fever, it will be treated directly." ”
Concubine Qi nodded, patted Qin Song's hand, and said, "The brothers of the Yue family have been born and died on the front line with Yi'er for many years, and now they are not in Jingzhou, so they can't let go of this sister the most, and they should take more care of her." ”
Qin Song responded, and immediately understood Concubine Qi's intentions, since the chamber was a foregone conclusion, then the Yue clan with heavy troops in his hands and his side naturally had to take care of it.
Concubine Qi smiled, satisfied with Qin Song's wit, and said with a smile: "I knew that you were a sensible person." Shen Suyu, who was sitting on the other side of her, didn't say a word, and Concubine Qi also took her hand, "It's the same with Yu girl, thanks to you these days, my old bones haven't collapsed." ”
Both of these are her future daughters-in-law, and now the situation is very different from a year ago, and she will mention it when it is time to mention it.
"Niangniang, if you are old like this, then you really don't have any young." Qin Song is telling the truth, Concubine Qi's appearance is twenty years younger than the actual one, as if her face is not old, she is cold and arrogant, and she is flamboyant in the world, but she is dignified and dignified, except for looking difficult to get close to, she is impeccable at all.
"You girl, don't pick up the good ones." Concubine Qi chuckled, her eyes returned to Qin Song, and sighed: "As soon as the girl of the Wang family got married, she married the fifth watch, and Tianse also ran to Jiuhuan, and there are fewer people chattering around me." ”
Qin Song was stunned, thinking of the cold and deserted Hanyao Hall in the palace, his heart twitched, his mother could follow his father to run north and south, but Concubine Qi, who had a similar personality to her mother, could only be bound to the deep palace, after Zhou Tianyi took her back to the house, although the situation had improved, the scope of activities was still limited to Beijing, Zhou and the suburbs of Beijing.
Is it really good to be trapped for a lifetime for one person, she is still young and can't get an answer.
"If you're tired, let's go back to the palace." Concubine Qi looked boredly at the nobles in the atrium who didn't dare to come to her, raised her arm slightly, and motioned for Qin Song and Shen Suyu to help her leave the table. Entertaining female guests is just a formality, and Concubine Qi, who is a little higher than the others present in terms of seniority and status, doesn't have to care too much, provokes three or five topics to guide the atmosphere a few times, and fulfills her obligations.
And as soon as Concubine Qi left the atrium, the nobles breathed a sigh of relief and started to move, the concubine who didn't even bother to attend the palace banquet, her existence was to put a heavy and breathless shackle on them, fortunately, she was gone, otherwise they would miss the opportunity to take a good look at the Zhaowang Mansion - His Royal Highness the King Zhao saw very few guests, and it was difficult for them to even enter the front yard of the palace on weekdays, let alone this atrium.
Behind the atrium garden is the backyard, where His Royal Highness King Zhao lives, and the nobles who still have thoughts about Zhou Tianyi are naturally curious about it.
Miss Qin's concubine position is decided, but with such a noble status, it is normal for her Royal Highness to accept two or three concubines into the mansion, and they know better in their hearts that entering the door is the beginning of victory or defeat, and prosperity must decline, and Qin Song, who is now favored by the sky, may not be able to compare with them in the future.
However, if they want to think about it, they will only look in the direction of the backyard from time to time, and they have no intention of daring to approach, and it is rumored that His Royal Highness King Zhao does not allow women to enter the backyard, that is, the maids of King Zhao's Mansion are also serving in the front yard, and they don't want to make His Highness unhappy without leaving a good impression.
The noble daughter of the high gate grew up in Beijing and Zhou since she was a child, and her parents had contacts with each other, and they were familiar with each other, and soon, the atrium got together in twos and threes, and chatted very hotly, and among the noble girls who gathered together, only one person was isolated and ignored.
The makeup is exquisite, the dress is decent, there is no from a distance, there is a close look, this just right dress can be seen how much this person is interested in this small banquet, but even if no one pays attention, she does not feel uncomfortable sitting on the corridor, and it is very comfortable to talk and laugh with her maid.
But just because people are safe doesn't mean that things won't automatically find her.
"Miss, here you are." After a long distance, the maid Bai Yang woke up her master, and her voice was strong and sonorous, like a report before the battle.
Zhao Rong raised her head and glanced at the attendant who was nervous with a smile, "Bai Yang, you are not a person who has never seen the formation, why are you scared like this today?" ”
"Oh, miss, it's easy to dodge with open guns, it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, they are the best at making people unspeakable, unjust!" Bai Yang was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and after entering this atrium, except for a few glances by Concubine Qi and the two young ladies beside her, the other eyes they received were mostly mockery, disdain and contempt, isn't this just regarded as a thorn in the side?
Speaking of which, this should not have been the case.
There will be unwritten rules between the magnates in every place, and Jingzhou is no exception. If you are new to Beijing and Zhou and want to make friends with other people, you have to prepare some small gifts to hand over, but Zhao Rong and her brother Zhao Xu just arrived in Beijing and Zhou on the front foot, and various affairs kept coming from Yingchuan's house on the back foot, and they needed to take care of everything personally, so they missed the best opportunity to show favor to the powerful people of Beijing and Zhou, and it was too late to remedy it when they came back to their senses, and it became like this.
However, after all, Zhao Rong has an elder brother who holds 300,000 military power, and the nobles dare not play with her openly.
But today, it seems to be an exception......
Zhao Rong's dress is pleasing to the eye in the eyes of men, and it is charming and attractive in the eyes of women, and Zhao Rong does have a good look, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that they do not have when they are born in a stable place. The brothers in her own family will take a few more glances when they see her, and today's appearance of her dress is obviously to attract His Royal Highness King Zhao, if she becomes the concubine of King Zhao, they will live well in the future?
"Sister Zhao, why are you sitting alone?"
"You've only been in Beijing and Zhou for a short time, so if there's anything you don't know and don't know, just ask us."
"That's right, you can also hang out more on weekdays."
……
Zhao Rong was enthusiastically pulled out of the corridor, and the push behind her made her have to raise her feet in the direction of the small pond in the atrium, Zhao Rong glanced at the side, and sneered in her heart, this kind of trick again, can't they get tired of playing?
But that's okay, she cooperated with them to act, and let them understand clearly, playing this with her, they will only suffer in the end.
Among the women, a girl with a water cup deliberately stepped on her skirt and fell forward, naturally splashing Zhao Rong's tea, and the person who was held up and did not fall to the ground immediately showed a surprised and panicked expression, and apologized to Zhao Rong when she got up, and even moved her hand to shake off the tea leaves on her skirt for her.
Behind Zhao Rong, the other two noble ladies who cooperated with the woman had quietly stretched out their feet, thinking that when the person in front of them tripped backwards, they would use their strength to push her in the direction of the pool, and her falling water would definitely attract His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was the master of the palace in the front yard, and at that time, would His Royal Highness King Zhao look down on such a woman who was embarrassed and had no manners?
Everything that happened around her, the calculations in the hearts of the people around her, Zhao Rong knew everything, but she also overestimated her endurance, so many women, you said a word to me, and her mind swelled when she heard it, and her hands hidden under the wide sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists, it was too troublesome, push them all down, and they would be clean after a hundred.
Zhao Rong looked left and right at the target she chose to start, but in the gap of the crowd, she caught a glimpse of Qin Song and Shen Suyu who were walking far away, the corners of her mouth bent, and she had an idea in her heart, and she fell to the side in the direction of a certain hand that was pushing her, and her hand was on the ground, and she fell.
"What's going on?" Qin Song frowned and looked at the chaos in the atrium, and her inquiring gaze shifted from Zhao Rong to the other nobles standing around her, as if she wanted to lock down the culprit and ask for the blame.
