Chapter 15: The Family Banquet Turmoil

Just as Min Qingrou was secretly pondering, the concubines and concubines of all the courtyards had already arrived, and even the two ladies of Luomei Xueliu, who were confined to the Fuxiang Garden, also came. This made Min Qingrou even more puzzled, is this family banquet so important? Even the concubines who made mistakes are qualified to come back to participate?

Min Qingrou swept past those people without a trace, only to see the thyme hair combed into the sky, with a peony dotted with a big hairpin on the bun, and a cloud sideburn with a golden face swayed obliquely on the sideburns, and a bright red brocade dress was eye-catching. The red background and gold edge of the four Ruyi cloud shoulders, embroidered with a butterfly love flower containing affection. The cuffs of the blouse are embroidered with all kinds of flowers, and the skirt on the lower body is also the favorite and most expensive pleated gold silk skirt of the royal women.

The other concubines are also of all kinds, some wear the lightness of the smoke shadow veil, some wear the beautiful Su Jinyue dress, and the Yao Xian phoenix tail skirt is known for its playfulness and beauty.

Min Qingrou frowned, this King of Qi actually has so many concubines! In addition to the princess thyme, she and Miaoling, Luomei Xueliu, there are so many concubines and concubines?

Min Qingrou's mood suddenly turned bad, and she snorted coldly in her heart with some hatred. Sure enough, men don't have a good thing!

What kind of family banquet, it's just a glamorous meeting!

"Sister, let's go over too!"

Shen Miaoling saw Min Qingrou staring at everyone in a daze, and thought that she was cowardly, so she thoughtfully took her hand and walked over.

In order to meet the occasion, Min Qingrou and Shen Miaoling also dressed up a little.

Shen Miaoling combed a spirit snake bun today, with a hollow butterfly golden hairpin in the middle of the bun, and a jasper bamboo hairpin inserted on one side, which is neither ostentatious nor too simple, and looks extraordinarily smart.

She wore a light pink silk blouse on her upper body, and a royal blue pleated skirt of flowers and birds on the lower body, revealing a small rosette of rose-red silk ribbon on the side of the skirt, and a delicate jade pendant tied with crimson silk on one side of the belt, with eight treasures as the tassel. The whole person looks soft and lovely, and compared with those concubines who attended in gorgeous costumes, there is a small and fresh taste.

Min Qingrou is more simple, wearing a moon-white silk gauze dress and a light blue sprinkled gown. The bun is an unobtrusive low bun, fixed with a hollow orchid bead hairpin.

A tender yellow belt is tied around the slender waist that is not in a grip, and two finely embroidered butterflies dance at the end of the belt, which is more eye-catching all over the body.

Min Qingrou and the two walked up to Thyme together and saluted.

"The concubine is the princess!"

"Excuse me!" Thyme glanced at the two of them with a smile and then said to the others: "You don't know yet, right? A few days ago, the prince had already summoned Concubine Rou, and now everyone has another sister! Sister Concubine Rou is young, you sisters should teach her more in the future, how to better serve the prince! Everyone is sisters, and we want to get along in harmony, do you know?"

Situ Yue hasn't shown up yet, and Thyme can't wait to make Min Qingrou's bed public. This time. The concubines who originally wanted to compete for beauty suddenly turned their attention and began to collectively pay attention to Min Qingrou.

Min Qingrou secretly sneered in her heart, this princess of Baili is well versed in the method of killing people with a knife!

Although she thought so in her heart, she bent down and said shyly: "Thank you for the princess's compassion! Qingrou will definitely listen to the opinions of your sisters in the future, serve the prince well, please rest assured!"

"That's good! Your obedient and coaxed prince to be happy is also for me!"

Thyme pretended to be relieved, and then looked at the people present and admonished: "Although the prince is strict by nature and does not smile, but as the princess's concubine, you must have to worry a lot! Look at Concubine Rou, it is really hard to take care of the prince when she recovers from her illness! You are all refreshed but only care about playing for yourself, and it is really not right to let Concubine Rou bear this hardship alone! From today onwards, cheer up! Be careful to serve the prince, and no one is allowed to slack off! Got it?"

As he spoke, the spearhead of thyme was pointed at everyone, but everyone could hear it, this was a provocation! But what people say is reasonable, and serving the prince is not the duty of wives and concubines?

"Yes! The concubine obeys the princess's teachings!"

The concubines listened to Thyme's words, and immediately cast their jealous eyes on Min Qingrou one by one.

What kind of shit luck did this timid and cowardly woman take? She was able to win the favor of the prince? This is really an unexpected surprise!

Min Qingrou has been in the mansion for nearly two years, and the number of times she has seen the prince is only a handful, and she is timid and afraid of life, so she has never even spoken to the prince, how could she be suddenly summoned?

If it weren't for this woman's sudden change of sex, or some kind of fox tricks, otherwise, how could she get the favor of the prince?

Everyone was on fire, and they swept over one by one with unkind eyes, and the heat almost set Min Qingrou on fire. Even Shen Miaoling on the side felt the depression of the atmosphere, and unconsciously clenched Min Qingrou's hand.

But Min Qingrou rolled her eyes in her heart, but in order to match her identity, she also cooperated to give Shen Miaoling a worried expression.

"Princess, the concubine has something to tell!"

Just when everyone was looking at Min Qingrou viciously, Shen Miaoling let go of Min Qingrou and blessed thyme.

"Oh, it's Concubine Shen's sister, just say anything about it!" Thyme saw Shen Miaoling speak, and her eyes flashed suspiciously.

"Princess, Sister Rou, she has lost her memory since she drowned, and her memory has not recovered, and she is also trembling when she serves the prince. The concubine is bold, please ask the princess to report this matter to the prince, so that the prince can invite a skilled imperial doctor to diagnose and treat his sister!"

"What's the matter? Sister Rou's amnesia hasn't been seen yet, that's really troublesome!" Thyme's eyes flickered frequently, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in her gaze as she looked at Min Qingrou.

"No, no need! The concubine feels good now, and she doesn't need to trouble the prince to ask for any more doctors!"

As if she was afraid of causing some trouble, Min Qingrou waved her hand in a panic.

"The prince has a lot of opportunities, and it is best if Sister Roufei can sympathize with the prince's hard work! Everyone else, you all remember, don't bother the prince about any big deal, save the prince from worrying!"

"Yes, Princess!" replied in unison.

Thyme is very smart and knows how to use everyone's reaction to deter Min Qingrou and make her retreat.

At this time, everyone's hearts were unanimous in their hearts, and a contempt rose for Min Qingrou. This Min Qingrou doesn't seem to like the princess very much, and her temperament is so cowardly, what big deal can she achieve?

"The prince has arrived!"

While speaking, he only heard the attendant shouting, and Situ Yue, the main master, finally came late.

Thyme and the concubines below hurriedly bent their knees and blessed their bodies, and greeted Situ Yue, the king of Qi.

"The concubine greets the prince!"

Situ Yue was dressed in a blue collared regular suit, with a dragon pattern on the front placket and cuffs, a new moon-white jade belt tied around his waist, a bright yellow silk silk, tied with a mutton fat white jade jade pendant, and the bright yellow tassel at the bottom swayed gently with his steady pace, which had a royal majesty.

He walked to the seat and glanced at everyone, his eyes paused on Min Qingrou, who was wearing light makeup, and then raised his hand.

"Get up!"

"Ahh

Just when everyone was silent, an extremely embarrassing exclamation sounded.

It turned out that Min Qingrou didn't know who stepped on the corner of her skirt, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Huh!" someone in the crowd laughed.

"Master!"

Seeing this, Yuan Qiao, who was kneeling on the side, hurriedly got up and helped Min Qingrou up.

Thyme followed the prestige, and there was a trace of disdain in his heart. This idiot! She still treats her as an opponent, and she really exalts her when she looks like she can't get on the stage!

"Concubine Rou, what's the matter with you, how can you be so rude in front of the prince?" Thyme immediately walked over and reprimanded with a straight face.

"Concubine, concubine ......"

In the face of thyme's stern rebuke, a mist immediately rose in Min Qingrou's eyes, and she trembled and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"The princess forgives her sins! My mother didn't mean it!" Yuan Qiao hurriedly knelt down and confessed for Min Qingrou with a panicked face.

Thyme glanced at Yuan Qiao with disdain, and then fixed her eyes on Min Qingrou, who was kneeling on the ground.

"That's it, I think it's because Concubine Rou's sister is not in good health, by chance, you can help your master go down first, so as not to sweep away the prince's happiness!"

When Yuan Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel anxious for a while, didn't this make it clear that she wanted to drive her master away? This family banquet was an important gathering, and if the master was expelled because of this, she would definitely be despised by others, so how could she gain a foothold in the palace?

"Wait!"

Just when Yuan Qiao was anxious to ask Shen Miaoling for help, a low cheer sounded.

"Lord Wang!" Thyme immediately turned to look at Situ Yue.

Situ Yue didn't have any special expression on his face, as if he said very casually: "Don't delay the business for these little things, just order a banquet immediately!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Situ Yue's face seemed to be a little impatient, Thyme hurriedly turned to the maid Mengxue and said, "Tell me to go down and start a banquet immediately!"

"Yes!"

Meng Xue agreed, and then went down to order. Only then did Thyme put on a smiling face and said softly to Situ Yue: "Lord Wang, take a seat!"

Situ Yue glanced at Min Qingrou, who was still kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand coldly: "Okay!

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Everyone was blessed, and then they sat down one by one. And Min Qingrou didn't raise her head to look at Situ Yue again from beginning to end, not knowing whether she was ashamed or timid.

The banquet began quickly, and a series of delicately cooked delicacies were served on the table, with all the color, aroma and flavor, which could not help but make people's appetite move. But at the moment, I'm afraid most people don't think about food, right?

"Lord, you work hard all day for national affairs, and the concubine is a woman, and you can't help anything, it's really a shame! Today is a family banquet, the concubine toasts you with a cup, I hope you can be healthy, and your wishes come true!"

Thyme lifted the silver flask inlaid with red and green gems, personally poured a glass of wine for Situ Yue, and respectfully served it.

"Princess Lao is worried!"

Situ Yue did not refuse, took the wine glass and drank with thyme, his expression was still indifferent, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow.

"Lord, the concubine also toasts you, I wish you all the best and worry-free!"

At this time, another concubine stood up and boldly toasted Situ Yue.

Situ Yue did not refuse as usual, and drank the wine in the cup.

"Although the prince is busy with affairs, he should also be careful about his body, the concubine has no talent, I just hope that when the prince is tired, he can stroke a song for the prince and talk about the concubine's body and mind!

"Concubine Yun's piano skills are very good, this king will remember it. ”

Everyone began to follow suit, because everyone knew that today's prince was the best time to speak. If you say anything, you will probably not be denied. Although the promise of the prince may not be fulfilled in the future, only this moment of joy is enough for them to show off for a while.

After drinking several glasses in a row, Situ Yue's face was not red or panting, and he did not show a trace of drunkenness, which showed that his alcohol consumption was also quite good.

yes! She should have known that. Back then, in the paddock, she had seen him drink and eat meat with his own eyes, this little wine was just a pediatric for him, right?

Min Qingrou thought secretly, and only swept Situ Yue twice from the corner of her eye, and didn't need to look at him carefully. Because of this, she missed the grief that flashed on his face, and a thick heartache that could not be dissolved.

She's just thinking, you like to have a family dinner, hug everyone left and right to keep you with you, then let's go!

Flattery has always been told to her by others, so she is not ready to turn it upside down in this life.

She is the unknown Min Qingrou, and not speaking is more suitable for her character.

"Concubine Rou, don't you want to say something? ”

The low magnetic voice passed through everyone and fell into Min Qingrou's ears, and she suddenly looked up, only to see that all the concubines and concubines cast envious and jealous eyes at her, including the unwilling thyme.

It turns out that it's wrong not to speak? Flattery still has to be as good as flowing?
