Chapter 101: Birthday Banquet (1)
A few days after the Lantern Festival is the birthday of the current emperor, Dayu's subject country Da Mo also sent envoys early, this time the leader is the most important son of the king of Da Desert, the second prince, it is said that he came this time, there is a desire to ask the emperor for marriage.
This desert has been a minister to Dayu for decades, different from any royal relatives, it is not a holy decree from the emperor, and it can be ended by sending a princess to this prince as a princess, and you have to ask the meaning of the two princes.
It's just that I don't know who these two princes have a crush on......
On this day, the emperor's birthday, the banquet of the ministers, the family members can also be brought. Yu Jinse had already met Prince Gong, and Wei Duyuan didn't have much to avoid, so he generously brought people to the banquet.
Since the beginning of this new year, the emperor's illness has improved, and now it has seen a great improvement, and the emperor decided to hold this birthday banquet according to the queen's wishes.
There are many envoys in the past few days, but fortunately they are all inconspicuous, and only this desert is the most important, which is why we must be more cautious. is not only the strength of the desert itself, but also to show the small subject countries next to it.
Yu Jinse had never been to such a pompous banquet, although she secretly warned herself not to look and talk nonsense, but as soon as she arrived at the banquet, she couldn't help but look around.
Wei Duyuan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and tugged at Yu Jinse's face, and whispered: "Sit down first, don't look so blatant." ”
Yu Jinse also felt that he looked like a dirt bun, so he couldn't help blushing, and he didn't look around, and sat next to Wei Duyuan obediently.
After a while, Yu Jinse saw that Liu Yuan was coming, and the position where she was sitting was still the prince's slippery, she felt very puzzled, so she turned sideways slightly to Wei Duyuan and asked, "I don't know what kind of identity this Liu Yuan is in this capital." ”
Wei Duyuan obviously also saw where Liu Yuan was sitting, and he couldn't help frowning: "It's inconvenient to say Liu Yuan's identity here, I'll talk to you when I go back." ”
The original location of Liu Yuan was never there, it has always been in an unobtrusive corner, how did he sit in the middle of the prince's line now?
Although he didn't get close to the top, the sudden appearance of a person would inevitably cause others to speculate, and it was unusually lively today.
After Liu Yuan entered the banquet, he was going to look for the corner according to the previous practice, but he was led to this position by a little eunuch, but he was not shocked, and sat down in this position steadily, regardless of what others thought.
This kind of grand event, it stands to reason that the imperial merchant Yu family should not come, but the imperial merchant Yu family has had a noble concubine, and its imperial merchant status has experienced three generations of emperors and has not moved, which is very intertwined, and no one dares to say a word in front of the Yu family.
You see, they are truly rich!
Yu Muyang came with his wife and the unreliable Yu Muhan, and as soon as they stepped into the door, they were surrounded by several ministers, and they said polite words before they got out.
The smile on Yu Muhan's face couldn't hold back for a long time, and when his brother and sister-in-law were talking politely to several ministers, he couldn't help but look for Yu Miaoyin's figure.
He was overjoyed, and was about to leave to find Yu Jinse to speak, but he was glared at by his brother, so he had to stay where he was.
At this time, Yu Muyang took him to find Yu Jinse, and Yu Muhan was very happy.
Yu Jinse already knew that these two people were her cousins, in order to avoid suspicion, she didn't even have time to go to Yufu to meet people during the New Year, and she still had some thoughts in her heart.
Yu Muhan didn't care about the occasion, he took out a hairpin from his arms: "Here, this is my New Year's gift to you, I have been preparing it for you for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to give it to you in person, thinking that you will definitely come to this banquet today, I will bring it." ”
Yu Muyang's wife, Lin, smiled gently, and her eyes were full of intimacy, and she even took out something from her sleeve: "Mu Han gave you a hairpin, and I discussed with the appearance to give you a pair of earrings." ”
Yu Jinse hadn't tasted the concern from his relatives for a long time, his heart moved slightly, his nose couldn't help but be sour, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing this, Lin Shi hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe her tears: "Don't cry, if you let others see it, I'm afraid that we will say that we bullied you." ”
Yu Jinse couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this: "My sister-in-law is really a good woman, thank you brother and sister-in-law." ”
Yu Muhan deserved quickly: "That's good, I don't have any words, it's like a layer apart." ”
Yu Muyang never said anything from beginning to end, and only nodded in tacit agreement with Wei Duyuan, which was regarded as a greeting.
After the New Year, the two of them were very busy and never saw each other again, it was credible that they passed each other, and Yu Muyang also knew that Yu Jinse had met Prince Gong.
He thought about it for days, and finally made a decision, and now is the time to make that choice.
The interaction here has been seen by many princes and ministers, this strange thing happens every year, and this year is especially a lot, and they have one more thing in their hearts.
And the princes and ministers who heard the conversation of several people on the side all set off turbulent waves in their hearts, what does this mean? What brother and sister-in-law?
It's just that not long after the opening of this banquet, everyone present knew the meaning of the conversation between the Yu family and the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, it is really the emperor who lives up to his wishes, the minister's aunt has finally found it, and left a daughter for my Yu family!" Yu Muyang burst into tears when he spoke, but everyone present was shocked.
Many people knew about Yu Xuemei back then, and later Yu Xuemei's misfall off the cliff also caused a lot of turmoil in the imperial city, and this name became taboo for a while.
As soon as Yu Muyang's words came out, everyone present couldn't help but peek at Prince Gong, and saw him sitting there peacefully.
But only Prince Gong knew how angry he was in his heart, he originally wanted to bring Yu Jinse back, and now Yu Muyang took the preemptive action, where did he dare to blatantly bring people back to the house and recognize them as his daughter? Didn't that attract tongue and confirm the rumors that he forced Yu Xuemei? When the time comes, I am afraid that I will lose my trust in the emperor.
The queen also looked at Prince Gong with concern, and seeing that her son was not panicked, her heart was a little calm, so she turned around and observed the situation of the banquet with peace of mind.
Yu Muyang's move can be described as ruthless, ruthless to Prince Gong, and ruthless to himself.
This official Yu family is clearly on Prince Gong's side, but the royal businessman Yu family's trouble, the prestige of the official Yu family in Prince Gong's faction will be somewhat affected.
Since then, the discord between the official Yu family and the imperial merchant Yu family has also moved to the surface.
In fact, Yu Muyang is not just for his aunt, he is the head of the Yu family, and he wants to consider the entire family. The reason why the imperial merchant Yu family has been standing tall is not only because of financial resources, but also because of the favor of the emperors of previous dynasties.
This favor, on the one hand, is because of the support of the imperial merchant Yu family for the financial resources of the Dayu army, and on the other hand, the embroidery of his daughter's relatives has always been favored by the emperor, and after many years, it has another layer of meaning.
If the rest of their family can't find a woman who can embroider in the family, their status will plummet.
Moreover, his Yu family has an enmity with Prince Gong, and he has never been optimistic about Prince Gong's faction, and the emperor is quite jealous of him. The tree is a big wind, but Prince Gong doesn't know how to restrain himself, and sooner or later he will be cocooned and bound himself!
As for standing on the prince's side like this? Not necessarily.
Even if the woman of the Yu family marries into the Zhenbei General's Mansion, she is also separated from the prince in the end, if he does not express his position, the emperor will only feel that their imperial merchant Yu family is not involved in the factional dispute, and he will not suppress their Yu family too much.
On the contrary, it is the official Yu family, who has been too aggressive since the current head of the family, and the entire family may also be affected by it.
Although this news was really shocking, the emperor only thought for a moment before reacting, and immediately smiled and said, "Then why didn't you bring Xuemei to me?" Over the years, the older a person gets, the easier it is to remember the stories of those old people. ”
Yu Muyang's emotions sank suddenly: "Back to the emperor, my aunt has been dead for many years, and I am still in this world with only one daughter." ”
Everyone knows the rules of the Yu family, and as soon as Yu Xuemei leaves, no one in the Yu family will know the embroidery skills of the Lao Shizi family. Gradually, the emperor's attitude towards the imperial merchant Yu family is not as good as before, and now that he has found the only daughter left by Yu Xuemei, what does it mean, it goes without saying!
The emperor sighed a few more words, and finally said, "Can you bring that girl?" ”
Yu Muyang's face rose with a smile: "I haven't brought anyone to see Your Majesty, how dare the minister bring someone, but coincidentally, the minister didn't bring it, she still came." ”
"Oh?" The emperor looked interested.
"It's also fate, General Wei's daughter-in-law is actually my aunt's daughter."
When Yu Muyang said this, everyone present was shocked, and their eyes involuntarily looked over there.
The emperor also opened his mouth to summon people, and Yu Jinse only had to go to the center of the banquet, and then knelt on the ground and made a big salute.
Although she knew what was going on today, she really didn't expect that it would make people feel so depressed.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged: "Raise your head and let me see." ”
Yu Jinse raised his head slowly, and anyone who had seen Yu Xuemei could see from Yu Jinse the figure of the talented and good-looking woman back then.
The emperor squinted and looked at it for a long time before he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, just like Xuemei's girl." Your mother is a wonderful person, you can't embarrass her. ”
Yu Jinse bowed again: "Your Majesty's lesson is that Jinse will definitely remember it." ”
The emperor called Wei Duyuan again, and everyone didn't know what it meant, but they heard the emperor say: "I don't even know that the two of you are married like this, but I don't know it, I don't have anything to give, so let's seal a first-class lady!" Du Yuan, you can't bully Jin Se, you have my backing. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
The queen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor with a wave of his hand, so she had to swallow the words back to her mouth. She knew in her heart that the emperor was beating their mother and son, she couldn't panic, she could only watch.
Wei Duyuan hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen will definitely take good care of Jinse." ”
Yu Jinse and Wei Duyuan thanked them again before sitting back in their seats.
The second prince of the desert, who had been drinking with the same people on the side, opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Ying Mo has heard that the third lady of the Yu family is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Tete is good at this piano. Ying Mo was fortunate to meet Miss Yu San at the Lantern Festival a few days ago, and seeing that Miss Yu San is also here today, I wonder if I can ask Miss Yu San to play a song for Ying Mo. ”
