Chapter 317: Rich and Capricious
It wasn't until they had walked far away that an old princess said, "Who is this?" Look at the eyes. β
Another person said: "I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it, and the person looks good." β
The princess's subordinates who led the way replied respectfully: "This is a distant relative of our master of the horse, because our third master is married, and we specially rushed from far away to watch the ceremony and help." It is a sin to collide with the nobles. β
The old princess said: "I didn't collide much, there are many people and many things, and it is normal to bump into it." I think he is also very polite, how is his fame? Is there a match? β
Everyone laughed, this old princess is famous for her love to protect people, but whenever she sees a neat and pleasing one, she wants to match others. The people in the princess's mansion also knew her temperament, and they didn't take it seriously, so they passed vaguely and led them into the table.
The eldest princess of Longsheng loves face, the table is very particular, the swallow ginseng and abalone wings have everything, the fruits and vegetables in the season are the same, the tangerines are pulled from afar with a lot of gold, the leaves on the top are still green, and the glass of the container is all the same color with fine porcelain, which is very exquisite.
Mingzhu sat down in her seat, and suddenly found that her front was empty, everyone had bowls, chopsticks, and plates, and she was the only one who didn't have a swallow ginseng and abalone wings per person. So he laughed, he had long heard that the eldest princess of Longsheng was an arrogant and vengeful master, no, revenge would come immediately, and she was so naΓ―ve!
She herself thought it was funny, but the others at the table didn't, everyone was embarrassed, and it wasn't moving to see the food in front of her, and it wasn't moving.
Mama Zheng blew up all of a sudden, and sneered: "What does this mean?" β
The servant woman who was waiting next to her said with a dry smile: "Our Royal Highness the princess said that the princess of England is jealous, and she doesn't know if these things are suitable, so ...... Since the Princess has her own utensils to eat, please use them for yourself. β
Mama Zheng sneered: "It's really a long experience, I have received so much gift money, and I am so saving." β
These words were so ugly that the servants of the princess's mansion couldn't hold back their faces, and said with a dry smile: "Isn't this the princess's highness thinking about the princess?" It's also a waste to serve it. β
Mama Zheng said menacingly: "Waste is also deserved, our princess doesn't eat, it's our own business to pour, if you don't eat, it will be contemptuous and rude and stingy." Don't keep talking about Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess is so stingy? β
The servant woman was so angry that she was really aggrieved, and Mingzhu said in a timely voice: "Okay, what is the noise, I said that I came to congratulate my aunt, but now it's good, it's like a black-eyed chicken for a bird's nest that I don't know what to do, it's embarrassing." Whatever you bring, just send it to you. β
Mama Zheng muttered to the conductor to arrange the dishes and chopsticks, Mingzhu saw her set of dishes and chopsticks, and almost sprayed again, a full set of gold-inlaid jade dishes, ivory-inlaid gemstone chopsticks, golden and brilliant, blinded her eyes. I think she is at home, and Yu Wenchu just uses good porcelain dishes and silver-covered ebony chopsticks, and she really hasn't used such dazzling things. Yu Wenchu, why are you here? Flaunting your wealth?
Mingzhu was sitting precariously, trying to keep a straight face, pretending to be accustomed to these things and not worth mentioning. Mama Zheng commanded people to arrange the dishes and chopsticks, and then stopped moving, and stood beside her like a god, only occasionally raising her eyes to look at the sky.
The eldest princess of Longsheng sat at the head of the seat, looking coldly at the gold-inlaid jade dishes and ivory-inlaid gem-inlaid chopsticks of the pearl, sneering again and again, no matter how beautiful and expensive the tableware is, there are no dishes in it, and it is just a decoration. When the banquet is held here, see what Fu Mingzhu will do, no matter how bad it is, she can only watch them eat, and she can't be scared. Acquaintances, get out of here!
Mrs. Min was also very relieved, and reminded the eldest princess Longsheng in a low voice with a smile: "Your Highness, it's time to toast." β
The eldest princess of Longsheng gathered her sideburns, stood up in high spirits, and was about to thank her relatives and friends with affection, when she saw a group of maids holding various dishes and snaking in, all of them beautiful and neatly dressed. The eldest princess of Longsheng couldn't recognize these people, so she only thought that she was a maid borrowed from other mansions to help, who knew that this team of maids went directly to Mingzhu's side, and she put the dishes and food she brought in front of Mingzhu in an orderly manner, and then bowed and retreated in a uniform manner.
Mama Zheng proudly took the lid off the dishes, and the dishes steamed out of the hot aroma, but they were all just out of the pot for a long time, eating at home, from the kitchen to the table, and that's it. I don't know how the British Palace's Mansion can deliver such a hot meal from such a distance, and every dish is no worse than the Princess's Mansion, only more exquisite and precious.
Everyone was dumbfounded. This fighting method is really eye-opening, one is prepared, the skin is thick enough, and the person is horizontal enough. The other is that he is still so calculating when he is old, and he wants to get along with a junior in every possible way, but unfortunately he missed half a beat, so he lost his momentum.
Everyone is secretly speculating that in the past, they only knew that the eldest princess Longsheng and the Fu family had a holiday, but they had never heard that the eldest princess Longsheng had a feud with the king of England. Could it be that the king of England married the daughter of the Fu family, and he also changed sex?
Only the princess Dai and others, who were at the same table as Mingzhu, invariably breathed a sigh of relief - they and Mingzhu were concubines, and they categorically did not look at Mingzhu without eating alone, and they were happy to eat themselves; Don't eat with Mingzhu, it is equivalent to forming an alliance with Mingzhu against the eldest princess of Longsheng. It's good now, Mingzhu has something to eat, and it's convenient for them to act.
The atmosphere on the table fell into an eerie silence, the eldest princess of Longsheng held it in her chest in one breath, she couldn't disperse and swallow, her face was blue, she wanted to drive Mingzhu away, or she used this set of dishes and chopsticks and the dishes sent by the British Prince's Mansion to make trouble, but she stumbled first, and people just took advantage of the situation, and there was no reason to even find fault.
Her eldest daughter-in-law saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly ordered someone to play music, and then quietly gave her a look, and persuaded: "The guests of the mansion are all waiting, and we can't ruin our family's affairs for such a person." β
The eldest princess of Longsheng took a deep breath, said a toast with a smiling face, and the banquet was opened. However, the appetite has been exhausted, and there is nothing to eat. Others don't know why Fu Mingzhu suddenly attacked her, but she knows a little in her heart that she was found to have interfered in the death of Eunuch Rong. But so what, she just hates the Empress Dowager, she just can't see the Empress Dowager holding the lifeblood of the country's government and politics, and if she doesn't give her enough honor and benefits, then wait to die!
