Chapter 204: Weiyang Palace Banquet
"But the concubine is just the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who will really treat the concubine as the prime minister's daughter? If someone is really willing to raise the concubine body like this, it is really like the rebirth parents of the concubine body. Qin Yingyue kept beating the prince's legs, and her voice was just chatter.
The prince smiled and said no more.
If he can marry Prime Minister Qin's daughter as the crown princess, whether Qin Yu wants to or not, in the eyes of everyone, he is a *** person.
It is too troublesome to propose marriage directly to the prime minister. Qin Yu has always been neutral between him and King Chen, and he may do something as ignorant of current affairs as Rong Qing. What's more, he wasn't interested in Qin Yingxuan either.
So if you want to draw Prime Minister Qin into his camp, just use the woman in front of you directly. Regardless of whether Qin Cheng values this daughter or not, in the eyes of the outside world, she is Prime Minister Qin Cheng's biological daughter, which cannot be wrong.
It's just that this woman is very scheming, and she is actually a dangerous person.
He kept saying anything, as long as he could be by his side, but what he calculated in his heart might mean some vulgar and sophisticated thing.
So, she was a good choice, but not the best one.
But the problem is that so far, he can't find the best option that satisfies him.
If you don't marry a wife, it's tantamount to disobeying your father. He wouldn't do anything that displeased his father. How can you give the third child this opportunity to sell his belief?
It's all to blame for this Rong Yunxi! Otherwise, his father would not be so anxious to marry him and the second child! Isn't it to quell the previous farce? I don't want the courtiers to talk about it as a royal joke anymore.
The second one, who doesn't know the times, may not be able to marry, but he must marry. can't let the third child overwhelm him in the matter of marrying a wife.
Qin Yingyue just hung her head and gently rubbed the prince's legs, without saying a word.
She knew that the prince must be weighing it in his heart at this time. What she has to do is not persuasion, not self-recommendation, but just appear in front of him so that he can see her. You can only imagine it if you see it.
Time was running out, and the prince was in a hurry to make a decision. What she has to do is to remind her of everything she should be reminded of in her mouth, and let him think about the rest. When he thinks about it, give him another dose of fierce medicine to make him make up his mind.
You have to say what you need to say, but you can't say more. She must grasp this degree.
……
The time is approaching, Rong Yunxi changed into a gorgeous but unassuming soft pink brocade dress, sat in front of the dresser, and combed her hair in early summer.
In the early summer, I learned a lot of beautiful hair accessories from Cailian, but I tried them on her in different ways for a while, sometimes successfully, sometimes unsuccessfully. But Rong Yunxi is not a picky person, even if he doesn't succeed, as long as he can see it, Rong Yunxi can withstand it for a day.
Today it's picky.
"If you don't comb this, you still comb the fallen cloud bun you usually comb for me." Rong Yunxi saw that she was about to comb it for her in early summer, but she was back in a bun, so she hurriedly stopped her.
"Oh." In the early summer, she answered, thinking that the young lady disliked her for not looking good.
In fact, Rong Yunxi was worried that Miss Cai would go. There is nothing wrong with learning things from others. But it's not good if it's the same as Miss Cai's.
"How do you know Miss Cai will go?" King Chen, who was sitting on the bed waiting for her, asked.
"This is a good opportunity, if the Queen Mother and the Emperor really intend to point Miss Cai to King Ling, they will definitely let Mrs. Changle Hou take Miss Cai there tonight."
"That's the case", King Chen said, "If it goes well tonight, maybe Miss Cai doesn't have to go to the draft, and she can be accepted directly by the second brother." ”
King Chen looked at Rong Yunxi's expression in the bronze mirror. But her face was unwavering, without any fluctuations in expression, as if they hadn't spoken at all just now. It's so hard to see from her expression!
Early Summer looked at the two of them in a daze, not knowing what they were talking about. Miss just said that she didn't comb her heart back, why did it have anything to do with whether Miss Cai went to the palace banquet or not?
Seeing Chu Xia's confused face, King Chen smiled and said: "This is the difference between being smart and stupid, if I talk to you, it is estimated that this king will be tired to death." ”
At the time of the unitary, Rong Yunxi and King Chen took Chu Xia and Yunshang and got into the two carriages parked at the main entrance. Rong Yunxi and King Chen are in front, and Chuxia and Yunshang are behind. The carriage slowly drove towards the North Palace Gate.
This is the first time that Rong Yunxi has participated in the banquet in the palace as a royal daughter-in-law, and she has no expectations or nervousness, but hopes that she can spend it peacefully tonight. The crown prince, King Ling, and King Chen, don't make any trouble.
In fact, my father couldn't excuse the emperor, which was wise. The prince has a lot of prejudices against his father, and he may not know how to show his father's face while taking advantage of this effort. The father was kept clean in the house, so as not to give the prince a chance to be humiliated. She can also have one less worry.
When I arrived at the Beigong Gate, I got out of my carriage and followed my father-in-law who was waiting at the door to answer all the way to Yuhuatai.
"It's not like this king hasn't been here, you can find it yourself, you go and get busy! Let you follow, this king feels like an outsider. King Chen saw that the little father-in-law who led the way was not so likable, so he was reluctant to let people follow.
Rong Yunxi thought to herself, the emperor is really right, knowing that his son is a lustful person, why don't he send a few daughters from the palace over?
"Yes, then His Highness and Niangniang are careful all the way, and the slaves will not be here to annoy His Highness."
"Let's go down." King Chen waved his hand.
Yuhuatai is located in the southwest of the Imperial Garden, which is the place where the royal family feasts and drinks. The reception of foreign envoys is not here, but in the Penglai Hall in the southeast of the Imperial Garden.
Rong Yunxi and King Chen walked in the imperial garden, and saw two little girls dressed in yellow and green, jumping up and down.
"Third brother...... The third sister-in-law ......" is the voice of the wind condensing.
The one who followed behind him was naturally the Seven Princesses Feng Beiyi. These two little girls are sworn enemies, and they quarrel as soon as they meet, but when something happens, they are inseparable.
"Third sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a while, you're more beautiful!" Feng Beining hugged Rong Yunxi's arm and shook it.
"Slap the horse!" Feng Beiyi muttered.
"You mean I'm not right, right?" Feng Beiyi asked.
"That's not what I mean, you don't want to spew blood", Feng Beiyi said, "I take everything to heart, who is like you, I can't wait to shout so that the whole world knows that you can speak!" ”
Rong Yunxi felt that if these two little girls continued to talk, there would be gunsmoke in the imperial garden. Hurriedly restrained their bickering: "You two stop making trouble!" Tell me, where is Yuhuatai, I haven't been there yet! ”
"It's over there! The third brother knows! Feng Beining pointed in the southwest direction, "But we have to go around the path ahead, there is no road here!" I'll just say, the planning of this imperial garden is really unreasonable. Why bother us so much if we need more roads? ”
"The Imperial Garden is a place for everyone to enjoy the flowers, and if the road is paved, what else can be appreciated? Isn't that the same as Yongxiang? Feng Beiyi said.
Rong Yunxi really hates herself! I thought to myself, how could she ask this question? should open a topic that makes these two little girls unable to argue! But...... Is there really a topic on this topic?
King Chen was already having a headache from the quarrel between these two little girls, so he pulled up Rong Yunxi and rushed out of the words of the two of them.
"Third brother and third sister-in-law, why are you going? Wait for me......" Feng Beining chased after him.
"Of course I'm annoying you!" Fengbei Yi Road.
When I arrived at Yuhuatai, it was still early, and the emperor and queen had not yet come, but Zhou Yan, the prince of Zhenguo, and Song Xiang, the prince of Changle, had already arrived. Zhou Yan came with his eldest son Zhou Qingshan, and behind him stood two little maids from the Zhenguo Mansion. Song Xiang took Concubine Zhao and ...... Cai Miaorong.
Either Hui Zhaoyi's attitude didn't work, or Hui Zhaoyi said that it was late, and the emperor's intention had already been served.
Because it was a summer night, the palace banquet was held on a spacious high platform outside the main hall. At the entrance of the main hall, on the steps and outside the temple door, there is the main table seat, and the left and right sides are set up under it, and three or five people can sit every few times. A few long swings are palace brocade cushions, and the ground paved with rosewood has already been wiped clean by palace people.
Rong Yunxi and King Chen sat down next to the second low table on the left hand side of the main seat. King Chen is sitting cross-legged, and Rong Yunxi is kneeling. Although the cushions are thick and soft, kneeling is not as comfortable as sitting cross-legged. What Rong Yunxi hates the most is the banquet scene sitting on the ground. Because in this case, the superiority of men and the inferiority of women are particularly obvious. Men can sit cross-legged, but women can only sit on their knees for the sake of modest manners. But I'm afraid of what's coming.
There were two chairs at the long table on the main seat. In Rong Yunxi's opinion, being a queen is also a little beneficial. You can sit on a chair while someone else is sitting on the floor.
If Feng Beichen knew her thoughts at this time, maybe how could she ridicule her narrow-mindedness!
Not long after, Prime Minister Qin Cheng and his wife Wei took their eldest daughter Qin Yingxuan, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, they arrived at Yuhuatai. Naturally, it was not the first time they had come to Yuhuatai for a banquet, in fact, the people who came to the banquet this time were very familiar with Yuhuatai, and the royal family sent minions to lead the way, just a formality.
After Prime Minister Qin, it was the Taishi Zhao Hongru. Zhao Hongru is a widower, and after the death of his wife, he has not continued the strings, advocating the actions of saints, and having few desires, so there is only one concubine in the house who serves and lives. Zhao Taishi brought his son Zhao Kang, who had just returned from his post in the Qizhou Mansion, and his daughter Zhao E, who had been raised in the boudoir.
They greeted each other, and after a short time, King Ling and the crown prince arrived at the same time. King Ling came alone, beside the crown prince, with Qin Yingyue.
Qin Yingyue's dress today is very different from the usual delicate, wearing a rather dignified dark blue brocade skirt, which looks more noble and calm than Rong Yunxi's gentle soft pink.
