Chapter 184: The Birthday Banquet Begins
Song Xueshao was indeed favored in front of Emperor Sui, and while she was in the limelight for a while, she still had a queen on her head, Lin Yiran, so even if she held a birthday banquet, she couldn't go past Lin Yiran.
"You can mix like a fish in water in an intricate harem like Da Sui, from this point of view, this Song Guifei is a smart person." When going to the palace to attend the banquet, Princess Li and Liang Qian sat in the same carriage, and Princess Li said: "I will test you today, tell me where is this Song Guifei's cleverness?" ”
Liang Qian could more or less understand a little, and after thinking for a moment, Liang Qian said his answer: "Because Song Guifei knows how to avoid the low-key of the edge?" ”
Princess Li nodded with satisfaction: "Yes!" Concubine Song Guifei has been deeply favored by the emperor over the years, and it can be seen from the fact that the emperor allowed her to let the people of the Song family enter the palace to participate in the banquet! If you want to hold a birthday banquet, it is not impossible for Song Guifei! But she knows how to restrain her edge, and she has always respected the queen mother in terms of rules, and she will not leave a word for others to say at all! It is precisely because of this that although Song Guifei has no children and no daughters under her knees, she can still become one of the three concubines! ”
Liang Qian nodded: "The last time I saw her, I thought Concubine Song was very smart. His Majesty wants to hand over the authority of the harem to her, and she directly throws these things out, letting several other concubines and queen mothers fight for this thing together, and she is a little idle! ”
Princess Li was very satisfied when she heard Liang Qian's words. This daughter-in-law of mine is really in line with her own mind everywhere, and if she wants to say that she has any shortcomings before, she is a little bad at scheming. Now even this shortcoming has been exercised little by little: "Today's birthday banquet of Song Guifei should be quite lively!" ”
While the two were talking, the carriage also arrived at the gate of the palace, and Princess Li dismounted and took Liang Qian to the place of the banquet.
Song Xueshao is a smart person, and she will never go head-to-head with Lin Yiran, who is the queen. This is also the case with the birthday party. Song Xueshao's birthday banquet only invited the ladies and ladies of the family, no male guests, and the specifications were relatively small.
In this way, Lin Yiran, who has always wanted to trouble Song Xueshao, lost a lot of opportunities.
When Princess Li arrived at the scene with Liang Qian, many people had already gathered at the banquet site. Princess Li and Liang Qian both had their own social circles, and the two got together and talked for a while before going separately.
Liang Qian then walked inside, and met Gu Yueke and Du Qingzhu.
These two people also came here to wait for Liang Qian, so they gathered together in such a tacit understanding, and left a place for Liang Qian.
"Come and sit!" Du Qingzhu's personality is relatively jumpy, and when he saw Liang Qian, he stood up and beckoned to Liang Qian, signaling Liang Qian to leave a place for her.
Liang Qian heard Du Qingzhu's voice and turned around, and also saw two people, and was about to walk towards the two people, but halfway through, he was suddenly stopped by a figure dressed in white.
"Lord Yingyao?" Yi Pingting was dressed in white, and she looked fairy-like, but it was a little inappropriate for such an occasion. She and the eldest princess Wang Yu stood sideways beside Liang Qian, stopping Liang Qian's footsteps towards Du Qingzhu and Gu Yueke: "Speaking of which, since I married into the East Palace, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I finally met today, why don't we talk together for a while? ”
Liang Qian frowned, she was not familiar with Yi Pingting, and she didn't want to chat with Yi Pingting.
Liang Qian didn't want to think about it, he just wanted to refuse directly, and just as he was about to speak, the eldest princess Wang Yu, who had been standing beside Yi Pingting and didn't speak, spoke: "Lord Yingyao, is this not giving face?" To put it simply, I am also the sister-in-law of the county lord Yingyao! I, who is a sister-in-law, want to chat more with the county lord Yingyao, but the county lord is unwilling to give face? ”
Wang Yu is not wrong in what she said, after all, she is the eldest princess, and when Liang Qian's identity meets the other party, sometimes she really has to give the other party a face.
Just when Liang Qian was a little embarrassed and ready to agree, Gu Yueke, who was blocked by Yi Pingting and Wang Yu, suddenly spoke: "What sister-in-law said is so unreasonable!" The county lord Yingyao was obviously going to come over to talk to me just now, and the sister-in-law suddenly led someone to stop the people like this, the county lord would feel embarrassed, shouldn't it be some normal thing to refuse the sister-in-law? ”
Liang Qian is logically Wang Yu's junior, so he naturally has to be polite when he speaks to his elders. Gu Yueke is different, she and Wang Yu are both concubines of the prince, and when they talk and do things, they have a lot less scruples.
Wang Yu had just put on a hat for disrespecting his elders for Liang Qian, and Gu Yueke returned Wang Yu a hat that he didn't know how to do.
Hearing Gu Yueke's words, Wang Yu also covered his mouth and smiled: "The third brother and daughter-in-law are good, but I don't understand the situation for a while, which makes the county lord Yingyao embarrassed!" ”
This was said in an atmospheric manner, and Gu Yueke couldn't continue to hold on to this point, so he immediately said a few words politely, and Gu Yueke stood up and pulled Liang Qian to sit down.
Du Qingzhu didn't say anything from beginning to end, but Yu Guangzhong has been watching the performance of Yi Pingting and Wang Yu. Finding that Liang Qian was pulled by Gu Yueke and sat down, the two of them were not ready to leave, and Du Qingzhu felt a little bad in his heart.
Sure enough, after the three people on Liang Qian's side had already sat down, Yi Pingting glanced at Wang Yu, and after Wang Yu nodded invisibly, he said to Gu Yueke: "I made the county lord embarrassed just now!" Now there are a few more people at this table, and Concubine Yi and I can get together with the three of us! ”
After speaking, Wang Yu didn't care about the faces of Liang Qian and the three of them, and sat down with Yi Pingting by himself.
After sitting down, Yi Pingting happened to be directly opposite Liang Qian, seeing that Liang Qian had not spoken, Yi Pingting took the lead in raising the wine glass and poured a glass of wine, and said to Liang Qian: "When I was still in the boudoir before, I had some unpleasant things with the county lord!" Now that I'm married, I'm much more sensible than before! Those things in the past were all mistakes made by Wan Ting when she was young and ignorant, and I hope that the county lord Haihan is! ”
This was said so that Liang Qian couldn't answer for a while.
Yi Pinting did make a lot of mistakes before, and now she doesn't see any thoughts of the other party to change. Liang Qian is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and blindly kind, the harm has already been done, so naturally he doesn't want to forgive such a person.
But Yi Pingting said that she hoped that Liang Qianhaihan would mean that if Liang Qian didn't forgive herself, it would be because Liang Qian's heart was small.
