Chapter 121: It's not easy to be a scheming green tea
A few days later, it was the birthday of Emperor Jing and Emperor. In fact, to be honest, Emperor Jing and Emperor are only forty this year, and it is a bit reluctant to say that he has a long life.
However, as the emperor of a country, the birthday banquet naturally cannot be just a birthday. Because in recent years, the Great Xia Kingdom has also been considered to have been in good weather, and in order to show the prestige of the great powers, the imperial court has sent people from several surrounding states and neighboring countries to congratulate him on his birthday. In short, it is very grand and heavy.
As the most important brother of Jing and Emperor Jing, Feng Lisheng has been busy these days. Even Shen Mingjiao had to enter the palace every day to help the queen take care of all kinds of trivial things related to the banquet.
Shen Mingjiao was inspecting the banquet hall layout presented by the Ministry of Rites with the empress. Princess Yu ran in in a hurry, hurriedly saluted the queen, and then pulled Shen Mingjiao and said with great interest:
"Brother and sister, you don't know, the street outside is so lively, and there are many aliens here......"
The queen looked at her helplessly, but she had always had a soft personality, and even if she felt that Princess Yu was so bad, she didn't interrupt.
Shen Mingjiao directly poured a cup of tea and stuffed it into her hand, "Okay, can't the Seven Emperor Sisters-in-law?" Drink a quick saliva. ”
Princess Yu took the water and poured it into her mouth, and the hall finally quieted down.
The queen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Mingjiao looked secretly funny. I can't help but sigh that the imperial sister-in-law is afraid that she is the most innocent and scheming queen in history.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Su Tian, who was sitting on the side and drinking tea elegantly.
It's just that it's unfortunate to have a scheming daughter-in-law.
When she entered the palace two days ago, she accidentally learned about Princess Yu's daily gossip.
On the third day of marriage, Su Tian wanted to encourage the queen to give Feng Lisheng a woman, but as a scheming green tea, he was used to speaking obscurely.
And the queen, as the only woman of Emperor Jing He, did not have the opportunity to experience all kinds of bloody palace fights, and was well protected by Emperor Jing He, and her mind was relatively simple.
Therefore, I didn't hear the meaning of her words, and thought that she really cared about the issue of Feng Lisheng's heirs.
Thinking that Feng Lisheng was indeed not young, he called him into the palace for dinner, and asked Shen Mingjiao's physical condition if he needed to find a doctor or something.
There was no mention of the topic of rewarding women and concubines in the whole process. made Su Tian directly dumbfounded.
That day, Princess Yu happened to come to the queen to have something to do, and she heard this.
Although there had been speculations for a long time, listening to Princess Yu say it herself, Shen Mingjiao was still very angry. I think this woman is simply sick!
And Su Tian's mother's family was repeatedly impeached during this time, in order to save his reputation. She wanted to interfere in the arrangement of this palace banquet, and it was understandable that she, as the crown princess, participated in these things.
But she wanted to take the matter alone, and induced all kinds of quiet words in front of the queen,
Shen Mingjiao couldn't get used to her, and when she saw her playing tricks on her mother-in-law like this,
She immediately smiled lovingly and said With us elders here, how can we let the new daughter-in-law do these trivial tasks? In a few words, he silently blocked Su Tian's previous remarks.
Although the queen saw that the two didn't seem to deal with each other, compared to Su Tian, she felt that she and Shen Mingjiao were the same generation, and they were more comfortable talking, so she also smiled and agreed.
The angry Su Tian almost didn't hold back the expression on his face. Even so, she still came over every day, when Shen Mingjiao and the queen discussed things. She sat down obediently. Occasionally add a cup of tea to the Queen.
Shen Mingjiao didn't care, and from time to time she commanded her to give herself a hand, watching her fingers clenched with anger, but in order to show virtue in front of the queen, she had to hold back deeply.
Whenever this happens, Shen Mingjiao's heart is secretly refreshed and at the same time, she can't help but sigh, it's not easy to be a scheming green tea!
Princess Yu put down the cup, opened her hands and turned around in front of the queen, and asked expectantly: "Did Niangniang find any difference between me today?" ”
The queen had already found out, and immediately asked with a smile: "Where did you buy this dress, Princess Yu?" ”
As he spoke, a pair of eyes stared closely at the azure collared robe on Princess Yu's body.
This dress is not eye-catching when taken out alone, but for some reason, it looks indescribably complementary when worn on Princess Yu.
Princess Yu glanced at Shen Mingjiao and stroked her cuffs proudly: "This is the dress that my brother and sister designed for me, it's beautiful!" ”
The queen nodded again and again, "It's very beautiful." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at it several times.
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty, especially after listening to Princess Yu's Balabala science about how good-looking the clothes designed by Shen Mingjiao are.
The queen looked at Shen Mingjiao with blazing eyes, but because of her identity, she was embarrassed to speak after all.
Shen Mingjiao's gaze on the queen, she naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Taking advantage of the fact that the matter was almost dealt with now, she directly asked the palace maid on the side for a pen and paper. He stared at the queen carefully for a long time, closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Then he picked up the pen and began to trace carefully,
The hall was quiet for a while, and even Princess Yu didn't speak again.
After a while, Shen Mingjiao put down her pen. Wait for the paper to dry slightly. He handed it to the queen.
Princess Yu stepped forward curiously, and after sweeping her eyes, she couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful phoenix tail skirt!" ”
The queen also thought it was very good-looking, and handed it to the big palace maid on the side and asked her to take it to the Shangyi Bureau.
Shen Mingjiao directly and unceremoniously made a request: "When it is done, if the imperial sister-in-law thinks it looks good, you have to help me publicize it." ”
The queen smiled and nodded,
Su Tian, who was sitting on the side, watched the joy of several people, and clenched her fists angrily again, she felt that Shen Mingjiao was deliberate.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Princess Yu pulled Shen Mingjiao and said, "This will be the time when all the officials and their relatives should have entered the palace, why don't we go and take a look." ”
The official banquet for the reception of envoys from various countries was in the evening, but some ministers, officials and wives came in advance.
The queen waved her hand and smiled: "If you want to go, go there, by the way, the crown princess will also go together, and you young people will gather more." As for her, as the mother of a country, she naturally has to make a finale appearance with Jing and the emperor.
Several people arrived at the temporary lounge where the ladies were, and several princesses were also there.
It stands to reason that after the prince's wedding, several vassal kings should return to their fiefdoms, but isn't this just in time for the birthday of Jing and the emperor, so they naturally have to stay and wait for the end before leaving.
When the ladies saw the few people who walked in, they stood up and saluted in unison.
Shen Mingjiao was surprised to find that many people looked at her today with fear that they couldn't avoid. Instead, they were all looking at her cautiously with their spare eyes.
She couldn't help but quietly touched her face and asked Qiu Ju, who was following behind, "I don't have anything dirty on my face, right?" ”
Qiu Ju shook her head inexplicably.
Shen Mingjiao: "... So why are these people looking at me like that? Could it be that my bad reputation has escalated? ”
Princess Yu snorted and pointed in one direction. "Brother and sister, look."
