Chapter 723: The Reception Feast

The entry of the envoys of the Yuan State into Beijing slowly diverted the rumors of the Shangshu Mansion, so that during this time, people were talking about the princess and the regent of the Yuan Kingdom.

That night, the envoy entered Beijing for a short rest, and the next day the emperor held a reception banquet for the envoy and the princess, and let a minister take his family members into the palace to accompany him, although Yun Niang is to be married, but the holy decree has been issued, she as the quasi-princess of the war prince, should follow to participate in this reception banquet, so in the afternoon Han Shuyan personally went to Shangshu Mansion to pick up Yun Niang into the palace.

Yun Xiu, as a second-grade minister, of course, also had to enter the palace for a banquet, but Wang Zhaojun looked at Yun Niang with a blank eye, wanting to enter the palace to see and see, so that Yun Niang was helpless, and finally Han Shuyan allowed Wang Zhaojun to stay by his side and enter the palace together.

The four of them got into the carriage and left under the watchful eye of the butler.

"Cousin, is the palace really like others say, the houses are all made of gold?"

Wang Zhaojun was very excited in the carriage, and couldn't help but ask Yun Xiu in a chatter, which made Yun Xiu look at Wang Zhaojun angrily.

"What does it mean to see is believing, hearing is false, how big is the palace? Even if you add all the gold, you may not be able to build a palace, so dream! ”

Yun Xiu was very speechless when he heard Wang Zhaojun's words, if there was really a golden house, then the emperor would definitely not be a good emperor, and the emperor would not do such a thing that would cost the people and money, the Son of Heaven had no virtue, which was the most taboo for the people.

"Oh!"

Wang Zhaojun was despised by his cousin, and his interest was a little lacking at the moment, and he didn't dare to ask again, so he could only be secretly excited, thinking that one day he would be able to go to the palace and participate in the emperor's banquet, and he would also be able to meet the princess of Yuanguo.

When Wang Zhaojun thought about it, he suddenly felt a little fluttery, looking at Han Shuyan's eyes were full of admiration, who called his brother-in-law the prince! But no matter what Wang Zhaojun thought, he never thought that he would cause such a big trouble when he went today.

At the royal banquet, how could everyone be lazy, so the ministers of the court and the central government and their families were all dressed in brocade clothes, so as not to lose the number of courtesies in front of the envoys of the Yuan State.

Yun Niang and they arrived at the time it was still early, and the male and female banquets were temporarily set up separately, and the court women were all entertained by the queen in the imperial garden, so after Yun Niang and they got off the carriage, Han Shuyan and Yun Xiu were called by the eunuchs around the emperor, and Han Shuyan had to tell the Nuan Fei sisters to take care of Yun Niang.

Because Wang Zhaojun is a man, it is not good to follow Yun Niang to the Imperial Garden, so he can only follow Yun Xiu and them.

Yun Niang's master and servant were taken to the imperial garden by Gong E, and they saw countless women in the blooming imperial garden, when the eunuch sang the eldest lady of Shangshufu, so that the eyes of these court wives and nobles were attracted to Yun Niang, and suddenly a low voice began to sound.

"She is the Wang family, she looks really good, no wonder the prince likes it so much!"

"Do you know all those rumors out there? I don't know if it's true. ”

Yun Niang saw that the people in the imperial garden were looking at her like looking at things, although she didn't say anything ugly because of her identity, but they all subconsciously kept a distance from Yun Niang, and their eyes flashed with disdain, but there was a smile on her face, and she couldn't see anything wrong.

The queen in the pavilion looked at everyone as if she had deliberately isolated Yun Niang, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she lowered her gaze and asked Gong E beside her to invite Yun Niang over, and then smiled at Feng Rou and the general's wife and the old marquis's wife beside her.

"It seems that Miss Wang has arrived, and Miss Wang is a little unfamiliar with this kind of banquet for the first time, so the palace asked her to come in and talk to us."

The queen smiled at the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and reached out to pat Feng Rou's hand.

The people sitting in the pavilion are all court women with status, because I don't know why the old lady of Ouyang Hou Mansion came to attend the banquet today, so the queen is also here to greet her, regardless of her identity, the old lady of Ouyang Hou Mansion is almost eighty years old, because she was born as a military general, her body is quite tough, and she is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her sixties, but she is one of the few elders of the three dynasties today, even the current Emperor Taishang has a lot of courtesies to Ouyang Hou Mansion, not to mention her, After all, in addition to being the queen, she is also a junior, but she doesn't dare to be criticized in terms of etiquette, and now that the Ouyang Hou Mansion has returned from a great victory, she will not snub the people in the Ouyang Mansion at this time.

Feng Rou's eyes flashed when she heard the queen finish her last sentence, and then she smiled lightly.

"I was fortunate to have seen Miss Wang at the Golden Autumn Banquet, Miss Wang got to know her, which made Rou'er very envious, and now Miss Wang is about to marry her cousin, which can be regarded as a family, I also want to be more familiar with Miss Wang, or the emperor's cousin-in-law knows Rou'er's thoughts."

Feng Rou's words reminded the queen of Feng Rou's thoughts about Han Shuyan, and the meaning of Feng Rou's words, as if she was afraid that Yun Niang would not like her cousin in the Han Mansion, and wanted to have a good relationship with Yun Niang, so she patted Feng Rou's hand with pity at the moment.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion heard her great-grandson chanting Yun Niang's words in her ear today, and she was very curious about Yun Niang at the moment, plus she heard that Ye'er's child accepted the child of Hubu Shangshu as an apprentice, and he was also her apprentice grandson, and his great-grandson took a fancy to her sister of the apprentice grandson, which was enough to make the old lady curious, and she had heard about the affairs of Shangshu Mansion during this time, especially the matter of Yun Niang, so the old lady asked her granddaughter-in-law Gou to participate in this banquet today, One is to see if there are any girls suitable for her grandchildren, and the second is to see the juniors who have her style back then, that is, Yun Niang.

Gou heard that Yun Niang was coming, and looked at the pavilion happily, thinking that he had not seen Yun Niang's child for many years, and now seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she will be married when she sees the child again, although she has also heard Brother Ye say the news of Yun Niang, but how can she feel at ease when she sees it with her own eyes, plus the things in the capital now, Gou's heart is raised, if it weren't for the things in the capital one after another, she would have wanted to go to Shangshu Mansion to see.

Yun Niang and Nuan Fei sisters just entered the imperial garden, they were disturbed by some ladies came forward to talk a few words, Yun Niang knew their thoughts, so they had to smile and nod, and at this moment they saw the maid beside the queen and asked her to go to the pavilion, and she said goodbye to all the clever ladies.

Looking at Yun Niang who was called away by the queen, all the ladies were almost repentant, they should have gone to say hello early, maybe they could sell it in front of the queen, and they could also say a few words to the Wang family, but now looking at Yun Niang who had left, all the ladies could only look at each other, and they couldn't wait to go with them to meet the queen.

The lady who participated in the palace banquet today brought her own daughter-in-law for the future of her children, maybe she would be favored by the right family, and she might be able to find a good marriage for her daughter.
