Chapter 242: King Yu's Reception Banquet
Chapter 242: King Yu's Reception Banquet
After returning to the capital, because he had less hatred for Wen Yuxin, he looked at everything so pleasing to the eye, and he could go wherever he wanted every day.
Sometimes she would lead people to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and come back, and sometimes she would stay in the bamboo building by the lotus pond to read.
On the morning of this day, she had just practiced a set of internal exercises with Wei Yi, and An Pengfei and they came.
"Xiao Jiang, didn't the emperor invite you to the palace for a banquet? Why haven't you prepared yet? Shangguan Hong asked.
"What's the hurry, it's not the big girl who gets on the sedan chair, are you really not going?" Jiang Xinyi said, and took the cotton towel hanging on the tree to wipe her sweat.
"We don't like to go to that kind of place, we can't talk 'nonsense', we don't allow this, we don't allow that, it's so embarrassing." Shangguan Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Coward." Jiang Xinyi gouged them out with her eyes, and then went back to her yard to take a bath, no way, this season, you will sweat if you don't exercise.
Jiang Xinyi took a bath, dressed neatly, and took a good look at her fake Adam's apple and voice changing stickers. Only then did he walk out of the house satisfied.
At the gate was a brand-new carriage, and after returning from the beach, An Pengfei designed the drawings and found craftsmen to build it, which was even more exquisite than the last one.
"Yi Xin, you are really bold, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you for bullying the king in the future?" In the carriage, An Pengfei asked with a smile.
"I'm not afraid, I don't know, the emperor once gave me a token to avoid death." Jiang Xinyi said with confidence.
Seeing her smug look, An Pengfei shook his head helplessly.
The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the palace, Jiang Xinyi and the others dismounted, and Tie Niu hurriedly drove the car into the distance, where there were already many sedan chairs and carriages, it seems that the people have already arrived, the emperor has a treat, who dares to slack off.
"Looks like there are a lot of guests today." Jiang Xinyi turned around and looked at the carriages and sedan chairs and said to An Pengfei.
"Hehe, hurry up and don't rub it off, among the guests in my opinion, you are the best, so unhurried." An Pengfei smiled and gently knocked on Jiang Xinyi's head.
"Two sons, our family has been waiting for a long time, please." A father-in-law guarding the door stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Hey, it's you, hehe, you're welcome to lead the way." Jiang Xinyi immediately recognized this person as the eunuch who went to the emperor that day, and said to him with a smile.
"Seriously, it's not like outside." An Pengfei reminded Jiang Xinyi in a low voice.
"Oh, got it, long-winded." Jiang Xinyi made a grimace with him, straightened up, put her hands behind her back, and took a serious step.
An Pengfei only shook his head and followed closely.
In the palace, Jiang Xinyi has come in for the second time, relatively speaking, this time it is much easier, and she enjoys the scenery on both sides while walking.
Seeing that some palace maids were peeking, Jiang Xinyi deliberately threw a flattering look at others, making those palace maids blush and take a wrong step.
The place where the guests were feasted was in the Imperial Garden, and as soon as they walked in, the people inside immediately looked at Jiang Xinyi and An Pengfei at the gate of the garden.
Jiang Xinyi is wearing a silver and white dress today, and the placket and hem of the robe are the emerald green bamboo embroidered by Ping'er and them, and when the slight wind blows, the bamboo on the robe is also swaying with the wind.
An Pengfei is a light blue, but he bought it from a ready-to-wear store. Because these girls and mothers-in-law in the house seem to only have Jiang Xinyi in their eyes, what clothes, shoes, and socks are only Jiang Xinyi's share, and the boxes and cabinets in her house are full.
What made Shangguan and them even more covetous was that those girls had already begun to make winter robes for Jiang Xinyi. And they don't even have a pair of socks!
"Two sons, please." The eunuch led Jiang Xinyi and An Peng to fly inside, and after giving a salute to the emperor, he invited them to sit in the reserved seats.
Jiang Xinyi looked at the guests sitting on both sides.
The queen of the two palaces sat on the left and right of the emperor, but did not see the other concubines.
Those princes and princes and their princesses sat at the bottom of the emperor, only Wen Yuxin's side was empty, he didn't let Concubine Lian come? Jiang Xinyi smiled and nodded with him.
It's not okay to call anyone to come, it's so pitiful. Jiang Xinyi looked at the lonely Wen Yuxin and scolded in her heart. Look at the prince and Xiao Qi, there are beautiful women around them.
Then there are the ministers who are all "colored", and a few foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes. The foreigner sat next to Jiang Xinyi.
How can there be foreigners? I don't know which country! Jiang Xinyi tilted her head and looked at them with a smile, but they looked arrogant and didn't take Jiang Xinyi in their eyes at all.
Damn, it's quite hanging, Jiang Xinyi turned around with a sneer.
Because of the disaster on the beach some time ago, the residents of the seaside regarded Wen Yuxin as a savior. His fame became even louder, and he returned to the capital yesterday after the ministers who assisted in disaster relief settled the victims together.
The emperor already likes these three sons, and with this incident, he was very happy and ordered a banquet to catch the wind for his son. But for some reason, Jiang Xinyi and An Pengfei were also invited.
"Hehe, last month there was a natural disaster on the beach, fortunately my son dealt with it properly to avoid the lives of the people, and today this banquet is specially set up for my son to catch the wind, so you don't have to be restrained." The emperor opened his mouth and said with a smile.
As soon as Wen Yuxin heard that his father gave him all the credit, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he wanted to stand up and declare that there was another hero in the seaside matter.
Jiang Xinyi understood his thoughts, and when he looked back at himself, he shook his head a few times seriously. Motioned for him not to do that.
Wen Yuxin saw Jiang Xinyi's hint, so she gave up explaining. He didn't care about the credit or anything, but when this Jiang Gongzi left the beach and came back first, he told him that it was best not to mention his name again about the tsunami.
Therefore, Wen Yuxin held back and did not speak. admired this Jiang Gongzi even more, he was the biggest hero, and later donated so much silver, but he didn't take credit.
Jiang Xinyi saw it very clearly below, seeing the queens of the two palaces again this time, the expressions on their faces were completely different from last time.
Today, the prince's mother-in-law, the queen of the main palace, looked a little lost, although she had a dignified smile on her face, she couldn't hide the unhappiness in her heart.
And Wen Yuxin's mother is raising her head high, and the pride and pride can't be hidden.
The faces of the crown prince and Xiao Qi were sincere smiles, but the expressions of the second prince, how to say? The laughter is too fake, too fake.
"+Passion Yi Xin, what are you thinking?" An Pengfei looked at Jiang Xinyi, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and asked.
"Second brother, you said that there is such a beautiful scenery in this imperial garden, how many people are enjoying it now?" Jiang Xinyi took a sip of the tea in front of her and said softly.
An Pengfei certainly understood what she meant, smiled a little, and didn't speak.
Because it was sitting in a makeshift shed, it was much cooler, and occasionally butterflies flew in.
When performing singing and dancing in the venue, a butterfly actually flew to Jiang Xinyi's side and flew around her.
Hee-hee, am I Princess Xiangxiang? Why did you even attract butterflies? Jiang Xinyi said happily in her heart. For a while, she stretched out her hand in a forgetful manner, and the butterfly really stayed on her arm, dancing with her "milky" yellow "color" wings.
Jiang Xinyi looked like a full daughter at this time, Wen Yuxin sat diagonally opposite her, and she looked stupid, the prince and Xiao Qi were stopped by dancing because they didn't see it. An Pengfei was originally looking at the other side, but when he found Wen Yuxin's stunned eyes, he turned his head to look.
My aunt's "milk" and "milk", have you forgotten that you are a man? "Ahem." An Pengfei coughed twice, but Jiang Xinyi didn't respond, and was still playing with butterflies.
An Pengfei couldn't help it, so he kicked her foot under the table with his foot.
"What?" Jiang Xinyi raised her head and asked.
An Pengfei pouted at her arm.
"Oh." Jiang Xinyi knew that she had lost her temper, so she quickly pulled her sleeves hard to drive the butterfly away, and reluctantly watched the butterfly fly away.
"Your Majesty, you see that Xin'er came alone today, should I make up for him as a princess?" After the dancing girl stepped down, the prince's mother smiled and proposed to the emperor.
"That's right, or the queen cares about Xin'er, look at the ministers, who has a suitable candidate?" The emperor asked half-jokingly, half-seriously.
You dead old woman, what kind of heart is this? Jiang Xinyi was so angry in her heart, although she didn't care about the position of the princess, but now that she heard that she was going to remarry Wen Yuxin, she was still unhappy. She restrained herself and looked up at Wen Yuxin, wanting to hear what he meant? I don't want to use this topic to bring up Yu Xiaojing.
"Father, mother, don't worry about this, the son already has a princess, why do you need to marry again." Wen Yuxin's words lightly knocked on the hearts of Jiang Xinyi, An Pengfei, the prince and Xiao Qi like a hammer.
"Xin'er, the father and the queen mother are also for your good, in a few days, my mother will help you visit a good family." Xigong Niangniang also spoke, anyway, she was sorry for the disappearance of her daughter-in-law.
"Queen Mother, Xinyi is just playful, she will naturally come back when she is tired of playing, besides, my father-in-law is also here, you say this is a little inappropriate." Wen Yuxin glanced at Jiang Shiqian and said.
"Lord Yu, the little girl is too stubborn, she has no blessing to enjoy your grace, she has not heard from her for so long, she must be no longer alive, so you still listen to the queen and marry another room." Jiang Shiqian also opened his mouth to persuade Wen Yuxin.
"You old bastard, you're dead." Jiang Xinyi listened with a smile on her face, and scolded viciously in her heart. She saw Jiang Yulang sitting next to Jiang Shiqian, his face was a little unsightly, and she looked at her father with resentment.
Is this brother reluctant to die by himself? Jiang Xinyi didn't know.
"Father-in-law, my princess of King Yu is very hard-working, don't you know this better than me?" Wen Yuxin still smiled and said to Jiang Shiqian word by word.
Wow, handsome, Jiang Xinyi almost slapped her face when she heard Wen Yuxin say this. This damn pervert is quite interesting, no matter what the intention is, this answer is the most satisfying to me.
"This, this." Jiang Shiqian was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"I heard that when Xin'er came back from the front line, she brought back Miss Yu, and the two of them loved each other very much, it's better to be like this, the emperor, the concubines have the courage to intercede for Xin'er and Miss Na, don't estimate Miss Yu's background, as long as Xin'er is happy, just take her as a concubine." The prince's mother spoke again, in the eyes of the ministers, what a good queen she is, she cares so much about those who are not her own.
You are a dead old woman, you can really meddle in your affairs, and now you are so merciful, why did you stop Zi Ling from having a relationship with this dead pervert back then? Could it be that the purple spirit is her person? Jiang Xinyi muttered in her heart.
Jiang Xinyi was even thinking that she should think of a way to tell the pervert that Yu Xiaojing is not a good thing, and if you want to marry again, it is best to find another one yourself.
"Xin'er, what do you mean? If you really like it, your father won't object to it. The emperor also agreed.
Don't say yes, poor fellow, how can your marriage be dominated by others? That Yu Xiaojing is really not a good bird.
