Chapter Twenty-Five: The Palace Banquet

Previous Chapter

The three of them went to the palace together, and when they arrived at the palace gate, they had to get off the carriage and go on foot. In the imperial city, people who are not authorized by the royal family and His Majesty, courtiers, women, officials and dependents are not allowed to enter the palace in carriages.

Even today's Lady Decree must not be like this.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Bai Guan found that there were many carriages and horses parked in the palace gate.

She still knew that the carriage was ridden by the officials and dependents, but the horses were strange, how could there be officials and dependents riding horses?

"How can there be horses in the palace, is it possible that there are foreign ministers visiting today?"

Bai Wan asked suspiciously, she didn't know so much about these things in the palace, she could only ask Yue and Bai Yi.

Bai Yi and Yue's also noticed this, Bai Yi shook his head slightly, obviously not knowing what the situation was.

As the only person present who was in the know, Yue explained to them with a light smile: "Today, in addition to the queen's banquet for all family members, Your Majesty also invited the Kuci Master of Baitan Temple to give a lecture to the officials, so that they could explain to come over on time. ”

"I see." Bai Wan suddenly realized, she looked at the Yue family, and asked curiously: "In that case, isn't it true that my father and third brother have also entered the palace?" ”

"Yes, they still have to go to the early court, and it is estimated that it will be earlier, I am afraid that they are already in the palace at this time." Yue nodded, confirming Bai Guan's guess,

After listening to what Yue said, Bai Guan and Bai Yihe shook their heads in understanding.

Just as Yue Shi had just finished explaining this, suddenly a sharp female voice came from behind him.

"Isn't this Baiguan?"

The three of them looked over and saw that Ruan Xisheng and Ruan's mother came side by side, and the person who spoke was Ruan's mother.

Ruan Xisheng was dressed very brightly and movingly today, and it could be seen that she had put a lot of thought into it, but after she saw Bai Guan's dress today, she was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Bai Guan to be so unworldly today.

How so? A huge question rose in her heart, and Ruan Xisheng could hardly believe her eyes.

Previously, Bai Guan was just an arrogant lady who looked ordinary, why was she so good-looking? Ruan Xisheng looked at it, and her heart was vague, her temperament was even better than herself!

How exactly is this done? Ruan Xisheng was shouting in his heart.

On the other hand, Ruan's mother didn't know Ruan Xisheng's psychological activities, and the focus of her coming over today was not on Bai Guan and Bai Yi, but on Yue's body.

"Sister, I never thought you would come here today. I thought that with such a daughter, you would be ashamed to attend such an occasion? After all, this loss will even lose the face of Shousuke! ”

Ruan's mother smiled in her eyes, and said these words with a smile, although she was smiling, her tone was full of ridicule, and she especially took Bai Wan out and mocked her, which was very faceless.

Bai Wan on the side listened to this, and his face sank.

How could she vaguely feel that Ruan's mother was not just coming at her, but her more hostility was on her mother Yue's family?

On the contrary, Ruan Xisheng, maybe she is still relatively young and not good enough, her eyes when she looked at Bai Wan were almost straight, and they were full of resentment, so she almost scolded directly.

Bai Wan didn't think so, but he also noticed something wrong from the difference between the two of them treating themselves.

"Hehe, sister, what are you talking about?"

After so many years of experience in the position of Mrs. Yipin's Commandment, the Yue family already has its own set of methods and measures to deal with the existence of this kind of yin and yang weirdness.

Yue's face also showed a faint smile, her eyes first fell on Ruan Xisheng's body, and then shifted back to Ruan's mother's body, with a smiling look.

"Don't say it, this little daughter of my family is indeed a little ignorant, but in the end, she still knows how to measure and doesn't make things big enough for His Majesty. If it comes to His Majesty's side, I'm afraid that if it weren't for me and his father, we would be a little helpless! ”

Yue didn't mention Ruan Xisheng in the whole process, but every sentence reminded people of Ruan Xisheng, especially the glance at Ruan Xisheng before speaking, and almost named him directly.

Since Ruan's mother ridiculed Bai Guan for losing face, then Yue's she unceremoniously and directly said that your daughter Ruan Xisheng is not very good on weekdays, but as a result, she directly caused trouble in front of His Majesty.

Although His Majesty has forgiven the Ruan family for this matter, Ruan's mother and Ruan Xisheng also have the right to treat this matter as if this incident had not happened, but such a good handle is left in her own hands, and the Yue family will naturally not take advantage of it, and she is not a fool!

As soon as Yue's words came out, Ruan's mother and Ruan Xisheng's faces changed suddenly, and the eyes that looked at them changed, especially Ruan's mother, whose eyes were suddenly full of resentment.

How could she not hear the meaning of Yue's words, that is, because she heard it, she felt even more resentful!

On Yue's side, she may not be able to get the answer she wants, Ruan's mother immediately turned her head to look at Bai Guan, wanting to find some ground on Bai Guan's body.

So, she pinched her throat and said in a strange voice: "Yo, this is not Baiguan, you two are like homo mothers!" My sister robbed my sweetheart at the beginning, and now you still want to rob my Sheng'er? Hehe, then I want to see, just rely on your means, how to rob it! ”

As she spoke, Ruan's mother glanced at Yue's family meaningfully, and her eyes were full of resentment.

If it weren't for Bai Guan knowing that his mother was not such a person, he would be afraid that he would not be led away by Ruan's mother's words, and he felt that Ruan's mother was such a person who robbed other people's men.

Bai Wan wanted to ask, but Ruan's mother probably felt that she still had to be a little ruthless, shook her head, pulled Ruan Xisheng and turned around and left, leaving the three mothers and daughters of the Yue-in-law family in place, crying and laughing.

Ruan's mother's words were obviously provocative, and the three mothers and daughters of the Yue-in-law family had different expressions.

Yue's face was sarcastic, she knew best what Ruan's mother was talking about, and she also knew that she was just talking about it.

And Bai Yi sneered lightly, her contempt for Ruan's mother was visible to the naked eye, and it was obvious that if it weren't for her literacy, she would have already opened her mouth to scare people.

Only Bai Guan was left with a confused face, not knowing what the previous grievances and hatreds were, so he could only ask out loud: "Mother, what did Ruan Xisheng and her mother mean by what she said just now?" ”

Looking at her appearance, Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud, and explained to them while pulling his two precious daughters to the palace.

It turned out that Ruan's mother and Yue's family had fallen in love with Bai Cang.

When Bai Cang was young, she accidentally saved Ruan's mother once, Ruan's mother was moved by what Bai Cang did, and thought that Bai Cang was interesting to her, but in fact, Bai Cang's favorite has always been Yue's!

Ruan's mother didn't know, so she wanted to ask the elders of the Ruan family to go to the Bai family to talk to the matchmaker.

How could I have imagined that on the day they went, the Bai family was preparing to go to the Yue family's dowry, and Ruan's mother thought that Bai Cang was for her, and she vaguely told Bai Cang her heart in front of so many people.

That's what he said, but he was very enthusiastic and beautiful, what was in his heart, and he had already belonged to him.

But who thought that Bai Cang was also a solid-eyed person, it could be said that he didn't give them any face, and directly said that he was going to the Yue family to be hired, but she thought too much about it, and even directly issued an eviction order to let her leave quickly, not to delay his time.

On that day, Ruan's mother and the elders of the Ruan family could be said to have walked out of the Bai family with a black face.

They were disgraced and in a bad mood, but those people in the capital who watched the excitement would not think like this, and the next day, Ruan's mother's cold face and white hot ass spread all over Chang'an, and became the talk and joke of countless people after tea and dinner.

From that day on, Ruan's mother was often pointed at by the women in Beijing because of this matter, saying that she was whimsical, and she hated Bai Cang and Yue's family because of this.

At that time, the head of the Ruan family had a soft spot for Ruan's mother, and the Ruan family and the Bai family were hostile, so she married the head of the Ruan family, and since then, the relationship between the two families has become more and more difficult and incompatible.

It's just that later, the head of the Ruan family was confused and did a big mistake, which alarmed the saints, and said that he wanted to put the head of the Ruan family in prison. The Ruan family had no choice but to know the old Ruan Pinglu and let him regain control of the Ruan family.

With Ruan Pinglu's in power, the Ruan family, which was in turmoil, was able to stabilize and continue to this day.

When Bai Wan heard this, he couldn't help but feel strange, and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this her own wishful thinking and self-inflicted affection, how can she blame our family, it's really a brain problem......"

"Don't be angry." Bai Yi patted Bai Guan and smiled.

Among the three people present, Bai Wan dared to say this kind of thing directly.

And no one will blame her for saying such things, but she thinks it's normal for her to say such things.

While a few people were talking, they had gradually walked to the place of the banquet.

The place where the queen of this banquet is arranged is the Penglai Palace in the palace, where there are famous flowers in the world, because there is a special person to take care of it, so here is like spring all year round.

Bai Guan has very few memories of this place, obviously because it is too precious, and it is very rarely open to others on weekdays, let alone let so many people enter at one time, which can be said to be extremely rare.

When entering Penglai Palace, Bai Yi said to Bai Guan uneasily: "The queen is the sister of the Ruan family master, and Bao Buqi will make things difficult for you today, you had better follow me, in case someone digs a pit, I can still help you block it." ”

Bai Wan looked at his sister so worried, nodded obediently, responded, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

The three of them entered the banquet and sat down according to their seats.

Bai Cang is the Zaifu of the ruling and opposition parties, so the seats of the three members of the Yue family are naturally the first on the left-hand side, and the seats of the Ruan family are sitting opposite them, and they can see it when they raise their eyes.

With the passage of time, all the courtiers and their families have taken their seats, and the concubines are also seated surrounded by the palace maids, which has attracted Bai Guan's attention.

I heard that the person who favors the sixth palace today is Concubine Jiagui......

Bai Guan's gaze fell on her, but he slammed it.
