In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month.

All the local officials of Liangzhou City were waiting at the dock early in the morning.

Governor Qian Han Taishou and others were in front of the queue, and King Feng Minghao and Prince Nanwang Feng Duhan were also in the queue.

The entire wharf was strictly guarded by officers and soldiers, and no idle people were allowed to enter.

It wasn't until the sun gradually rose in the middle of the sky that a column of dragon-headed giant boats gradually appeared on the river in the distance.

The dragon boat led by the leader is where the holy car is.

On the wharf, everyone hurriedly set up the guard of honor, only to see the dragon boat breaking through the waves on the river, and the golden flag on the boat waving in the wind, magnificent.

All the officials on the dock knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, long live." ”

The dragon boat docked, and the officials were led by the king to pick up the holy car, and the emperor came to Liangzhou this time, accompanied by the queen and Concubine Li.

In the city of Liangzhou, the people along the way all knelt down to worship, and the emperor and his entourage lived directly in the Zhou Mansion, in order to show the emperor's approachability, and the second was to show his love for Concubine Li.

The Zhou Mansion is also regarded as the maiden home of Concubine Li, and the King of England personally took over the holy car and arranged for the renovated Water Pavilion in the mansion.

It wasn't until noon that the officials who took over the car dispersed one by one.

Subsequently, the chamberlain spread the word that the queen would have a banquet in the west garden of the Zhou Mansion that night to entertain the local officials and daughters of Liangzhou City and the daughters of various prefectures.

As soon as this news spread, it immediately busted all the rich daughters in Liangzhou City.

Although it is only a dinner party, but it is the fifteenth day of the first month, the city is full of lights to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival, the queen feasts everyone at this time, since she wants to respond to the occasion, it is difficult to appreciate the talents of the women, if you can really get into the eyes of the queen, you will be rewarded, and you may have the opportunity to accompany Feng Jia.

And this time Concubine Li will also attend, His Royal Highness is handsome and chic, and the daughters have long been overwhelmed by it, if there is a chance to enter the eyes of Concubine Li, it is not impossible to marry into the British Palace.

When Du Wei got the news, he was taking a break in the Jufu Pavilion, looked through the accounts of the Youlan Pavilion, and wrote a few letters to Cang Ming.

Since the last time the Dyeing Guild hosted a banquet in Piaoxiang Building, there has been a disagreement about who will manage the dyeing recipe in the end.

Boss Tang even sent someone to see the unequaled son in private, although he didn't mention the recipe, but the drunkard's intention was not to drink, Du Wei knew this better than anyone else, so she ordered Cang Ming in advance, so that he didn't need to worry, just let them toss slowly.

Mrs. Du personally brought Zhang's mother over to help Du Wei choose the clothes to wear for the dinner, and there was a faint look of worry in her eyes.

Du Wei saw it clearly and couldn't help but quip: "If you don't know, you think my mother is going to send her daughter to the battlefield." ”

Mrs. Du glared at her fiercely and reprimanded: "It's not over the New Year, and it's just like that!" ”

Du Wei knew that Mrs. Du was just pretending to murder her, and said coquettishly: "If my mother is so worried, my daughter still won't go to this dinner, right?" ”

"How can this work?" Mrs. Du couldn't help sighing, how dare she not go to the queen's banquet, although Du Mansion is just a businessman, but because of the new cloth "Yin Ziyan Hong" sent to the capital by the King of England before, she won the Sacred Heart.

The flowers made of cloth art of various colors please the queen mother, so the emperor gave special permission this time and allowed the concubines of the Du Mansion to come to the dinner.

"I don't know how many merchants in Liangzhou City can't get a tie for it, but you say you don't want to go." Mrs. Du sighed and shook her head.

Du Wei smiled disdainfully, "What's the point of this kind of dinner, the ladies in all the provinces are desperately trying to be in the limelight, just to leave a good impression on the queen." ”

"And Concubine Li," Mrs. Du said while taking care of the tulle skirt embroidered with gold thread for her: "If she can get into the eyes of Concubine Li, she will naturally choose a satisfactory one for the King of England." ”

"What does my mother think of His Royal Highness?" Du Wei felt a little funny, she felt that compared with the prince of Nanwang, Mrs. Du was more inclined to the side of the British king.

Mrs. Du didn't expect Du Wei to ask so directly, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Mother naturally hopes that you can find a good home and marry someone who can treat you sincerely." ”

"Mother thinks the King of England will be a good destination for her daughter?"

Mrs. Du saw that Du Wei's face was a little serious, so she stopped what she was doing and stepped forward to take her hand, "My daughter is to blame her mother for this?" ”

Du Wei smiled faintly, "How dare my daughter, it's just that my daughter feels strange, why didn't my mother have this kind of mind before, but now she suddenly ......"

A glint of sadness flashed in Mrs. Du's eyes, "Originally, my mother didn't want you to marry so early, but ...... The day of the prince of the south......"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Du couldn't go on any longer, and after a pause, she spoke again: "So I think for my mother, if you can get the favor of the King of England, maybe the prince of Nanwang will no longer be embarrassed by you." ”

It's a pity that the prince of Nanwang has a fancy to him, not his daughter, but the blood on his daughter's body!

Du Wei smiled sarcastically, "Mother doesn't have to worry too much, whether it is the king of England or the prince of the south, the daughter knows her identity and has never thought about it." ”

"But ......"

In fact, Du Wei learned from the eldest brother that day that after the prince of Nanwang proposed marriage to Master Du, he felt bad.

It is said that with the character of the son, it is impossible to ask for marriage or something in person, such a vulgar thing...... She didn't think he could do it.

But he did it.

Your sister! Is this meant to be played for real?

The villain in Du Wei's heart gritted his teeth and rattled.

In front of the gate of Zhou's mansion, the carriages of various mansions gathered, reflecting the various lanterns of the door, which looked particularly festive.

Du Wei was wearing a ready-to-wear dress from Youlan Pavilion, a light blue dress, and a snow-colored rabbit velvet vest, which looked fresh and pretty, and the twin sisters of the Zhou Mansion recognized her from the crowd at a glance, and came forward to hold her hand with a smile.

"Sister Du, are you dressed too plain today?"

Looking at the ladies of other provinces, they are all gorgeous and luxurious, compared to them, Du Wei is definitely dressed a little more plain.

However, Du Wei knew that her original skin was already very prominent, not to mention her tall figure, her skin was as white as snow, her waist was like a willow, her lips were slightly reverie, and her black eyes were flickering, like crystal grapes.

Du Wei looked at the twin sisters, all of whom were wearing rose-red jackets, with gilded magpies on their heads, and the moths on their sideburns trembled gently, which was very cute.

"Today, I want to meet the queen and Concubine Li, if Sister Du dresses up, she will definitely compare to all of them!" Zhou Wanqing seemed to be extremely unwilling.

Du Wei just smiled faintly and followed them into the garden.

Along the way, many ladies and ladies greeted the twin sisters, and the emperor's stay in the Zhou Mansion this time also gave the Zhou Mansion enough face, and naturally the twins also became the object of many female dependents.

When they entered the West Garden, there were already many female dependents sitting inside, all dressed up and showing off their flowers.

As soon as Du Wei entered, she saw Han Peiyao sitting next to Mrs. Han, dressed in a bright "flower blooming wealth", her head was full of gold beads, and her eyes were very piercing.

Many female relatives who were familiar with the Taishou Mansion used to say flattering words, and Mrs. Han was even more happy that her mouth never closed from the beginning.

The villain in Du Wei's heart shook his head disdainfully, silly girl, in front of the queen, no matter how gorgeous the dress is, it is in vain, you make yourself so bright, do you want people to hang you on the city tower as a lantern?

Ignoring Han Peiyao's vicious gaze, Du Wei followed the twin sisters and walked inside.

In the open space in the center of the West Garden, a thick carpet is spread, and a curtain is supported around it to keep warm from the wind.

There was a high-backed chair in the center, obviously for the queen, and on the position slightly below, there was another high-backed chair, Du Wei knew that it was the position of the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Li.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the West Garden.

The ladies covered their lips with handkerchiefs and whispered.

Du Wei followed the prestige, only to see the King of England walking in from outside the garden, wearing a purple brocade robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a large coat, and the gold thread embroidered dragon into the sea chart shone in the lamplight.

Suddenly, he turned his head and saw Du Wei, the corners of his lips were hooked upward, and his smile was full of warmth, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
