Volume 1 Chapter 5 Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Xiang Siyuan?

Wei Yu felt as if he had grasped the key.

With the advantage of the prophet, she may use this as a breakthrough to cut in and get a glimpse of King Huai's conspiracy.

She is a princess who has not yet left the palace to build a mansion, and she has to cover up the fact of rebirth, and it is even more inconvenient to inquire about the affairs of the court, and she urgently needs a pair of eyes to help her keep an eye on the situation in the court and distinguish the undercurrent.

In any case, this is an official position that must not fall into the hands of the Jiang family!

It is not difficult to persuade his father to take Jiang Pei's officials, this dynasty has always hated the matter of greedy ink, if it was an ordinary official, he would have been confiscated and imprisoned, Jiang Pei was only suspended and was extremely tolerant.

It's just that if you don't give it to Jiang Pei, who is it good for?

Wei Yu was very difficult, it was really difficult to find someone who could get things done, keep secrets, never betrayed Da Yin in his previous life, and could be used by her.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness! ”

Wei Yu came back from his thoughts and looked at the dawn blankly, "What did you just say?" ”

Dawn was very helpless, "The slave maid just said, the queen mother ordered the slave maid to inform the princess that the princess must go to the banquet tomorrow for the hundred flowers banquet, and the clothes and accessories for the banquet are ready, so the princess will try it?" ”

"What?!" Wei Yu was shocked.

This kind of banquet is often in the palace, and there are especially many princesses and princes who are in the age of marriage in the palace, and they generally collect all kinds of names, and invite the children of unmarried officials in Beijing to participate, which is called flower appreciation, which is really to see each other.

Wei Yu will be fifteen years old after this birthday, according to the practice of this dynasty, it is the age of marriage to be married, in the previous life she was annoyed by this kind of palace banquet, barely endured it for half a year, it was really unbearable, so she used the excuse of guarding the tomb for her grandfather, and fled to the ancestral hometown of the Wei family.

In two lives, she never thought about getting married.

In her previous life, Gu Jiaqing held a decent wedding in another courtyard, but she never admitted it.

Now she is full of only stopping King Huai's rebellion, where does she have the heart to think about this.

"I'm not going! You just say I'm sick and can't go. She said resolutely.

Dawn shook her head and sighed, "The Queen Mother expected Her Highness to say this early in the morning, and specially instructed the slave maid to ask Her Highness to attend the banquet." Your Highness, don't shirk it, you are the right angle of the palace banquet, how can you not go? ”

She patiently persuaded: "If you don't go this time, there will be a next time, you can't escape." ”

Wei Yu thought of the various tricks of the emperor's grandmother in the previous life, and wailed.

……

The spring flower banquet is an old practice in the palace, every time the spring cold subsides at the end of February, when the flowers are in full bloom, the palace will invite the noble women of Beijing to bring their children into the palace to enjoy the flowers and watch the play, in order to show the grace of heaven.

Usually, this kind of banquet is mostly organized by several concubines who are assistant palace affairs in the palace, but this year, in order to choose a son-in-law for Wei Yu, the Queen Mother personally finalized the candidates and seats for the banquet, which shows her determination.

The banquet is a banquet at the same time, Wei Yuchen was dug out of the quilt at dawn to dress up, she has always been snooze, the spring cold in February has not yet receded, and it is really abrasive to get up in the morning.

"The princess is almost sober and sober, today's banquet has gathered all the talents in Beijing, and even the Qionglin banquet of Shizi Dengke is not so complete. The princess took a closer look, and maybe there was a close eye. ”

As she spoke, she was busy with her hands, her fingers like butterflies wearing flowers, and in a short time she pulled a complicated bun into shape.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is different from the holiday banquet, because the invitees are all female dependents and juniors, and they are not very restrictive, and there is no need to wear court clothes.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a set of garnet red placket palace clothes, the skirt is covered with gold silk moire, embroidered with five Zhai, and the crown and tail are inlaid with pearls and agate, which is full of color.

Xiaoxiao said that this was the meaning of the Queen Mother, and gave Wei Yu a set of red gold inlaid beads and phoenix pattern head, with eight treasures pinned to his neck, and various jade pressure sachets tied to his waist, and the whole person was jewelry.

But because she was born so well, she can hold it down.

Wei Yu inherited her mother's appearance, apricot eyes and nose, black hair like a waterfall, plus the grace and nobility of the whole body, which can be described as beautiful and beautiful, and shine like a spring.

The usual dress is already making people unable to take their eyes off, and today's dress is even more stunned by the palace people in Hanzhang Palace.

When Wei Yu arrived at the banquet, the people were almost there, and the garden was full of clothes and temples, and the guests were almost placed outside the imperial garden.

Xu is for the convenience of seeing each other, and her seat is next to the Queen Mother.

Wei Yu stepped forward and met the Queen Mother's satisfied eyes, like pins and needles.

At a cursory glance, the thirteen princes and twenty-four candidates who have been left behind since the founding of the Great Yin Dynasty have been feuded everywhere, and the relatives of officials above the third rank in the court, and almost all the magnates in Beijing have come.

As for the young people...... She swept her eyes, and many of them later shined in the Huaiwang New Dynasty, and Gu Jiaqing took refuge in Gu Jiaqing after he became regent.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is understandable to save his life.

Wei Yu also saw several old acquaintances who had not been seen for a long time.

Among them, the closest to her is Meng Yingying, the daughter of the Yongning Sovereign, who is one year older than her, is her cousin, and is also her best fox friend when she was a teenager.

The girl in pink didn't know if she felt her gaze, and looked at her strangely through the crowd.

It's been a long time, Wei Yu was so amused by her that her eyes almost turned red.

Since the main lord has already arrived, it is natural that the banquet will be held.

There is nothing new in this kind of palace banquet process, toasting and saying some auspicious words, watching the drama during the banquet, appreciating singing and dancing, and occasionally doing some programs and games to help the fun.

Wei Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and only waited for half an hour to find an excuse to escape.

After three rounds of drinking, the song and dance were sung.

Suddenly, a concubine said: "This song and dance is the same for a long time, and it is not interesting." Since today is a feast of flowers, wouldn't it be much more interesting to ask the young people at the banquet to compose a poem on the theme of spring? ”

Here it comes!

Wei Yu's scalp tightened, and he secretly glanced at the Queen Mother's satisfied look, and knew that this must be the Queen Mother's meaning without thinking about it.

The palace banquet is an old program, one is that the banquet is inevitably boring, so that the guests are not so boring, and if the palace intends to kiss, you can also take the opportunity to test the knowledge of these young people.

These noble ladies have lived in the courtyard of the mansion all their lives, which one is not a human spirit? Naturally, they heard the strings and songs to know the elegance, and they all echoed loudly.

The Queen Mother was naturally satisfied, and said with a faint smile: "Since they all said it is good, it can't let them work in vain, and the mourning family will give them a lottery." ”

She plucked a red gold eight-treasure Luan phoenix hairpin from her head, put it in a lacquer plate, and limited the time for a stick of incense to become a poem.

"Whoever takes this hairpin, the mourning family will grant him a request."

This color is not a big deal, as soon as these words came out, even those who had no intention of being in the limelight were serious.

Soon, someone from the palace brought paper and pens and distributed them to everyone at the banquet.

Wei Yu naturally didn't need to participate, and followed the Queen Mother to sit on the top and look down.

There are those who meditate hard and have to crush the pen, those who are comfortable and confident, and those who have a dignified face and attach great importance to it.

What kind of talent and temperament you can see at a glance.

Wei Yu was bored, his eyes wandered back and forth in the crowd several times, only to see that the youngest grandfather of Feng Guogong's family, the third son of Xuanping Hou's family, and the young daughter of Du Xiangye's family were the most calm.

The first two were the last people who took refuge in Gu Jiaqing in their previous lives, and they were the rising stars in the Yuan and New Dynasty.

This Du Xiangye's youngest daughter, Wei Yu, still had some intersections with her in her previous life.

In her previous life, she married the Hou Shizi of Wu'an, both husband and wife are smart people, and after marriage, Qin Se and Ming are a pair of beautiful people.

Before Gu Jiaqing poisoned Emperor Cheng, she and her husband smelled the smell of the storm in Beijing, and resigned in advance to return to their ancestral hometown to avoid the edge, and during this period, they also took Wei Yu's door and begged her for a small favor.

She is a very intelligent woman.

The time for a stick of incense will soon come, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's banquet is the queen mother looking at her husband for Princess Zhaoyang.

Although the jackpot is very tempting, not everyone is tempted. Those who have a heart are naturally attentive, and those who have no intention of climbing high branches also have their own plans, and everyone's faces are very relaxed, and there is no gaffe if they don't finish writing.

The palace people presented the large stack of poems to the Queen Mother for comment, and the Queen Mother took a look, saw that a few of them were well written, and raised her hand and handed them to Wei Yu.

Wei Yu followed and flipped through it, in general, they were all ordinary things such as "Song of Early Spring" and "Spring Hate", the rhetoric was gorgeous but empty, flashy, and nothing special.

It is not surprising that those who are a little more brilliant are those people, Feng Xiaogongye, Xuanping Hou Gongzi, Du Xiang's young daughter are impressively listed, and a few are good, but it is difficult to compete with these three people.

It seems that the leader is going to be chosen among the three.

Wei Yu carefully reviewed the poems of the three people, secretly compared them, and flipped through them casually, unexpectedly turning to the bottom one.

She paused, immediately pulled it out and looked at it, read it again, read it again.

The language of this poem is fresh and bright, and the writing is plain and moving, although it is not obvious at first glance, but the fine taste is profound, and it can be said to stand out from the crowd in the clichΓ©s that have become a trend, which is eye-catching.

It is indeed a good poem.

She glanced at the signature again, "Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Xiang Siyuan."

It turned out to be this family, no wonder it was put at the bottom.

Wei Yu didn't care about that much, raised his hand and handed it to the imperial grandmother, and whispered: "Imperial grandmother, look at this, I think the writing is very good, plain and powerful, much better than the side." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at it a few times, and at first she was quite appreciative, but when she looked at it, her eyes were fixed on a certain place, but she smiled.

She put the paper on the table and said lightly: "Although the writing is good, it is inevitably depressed, and the garden is full of spring, so it is better to be festive." ”

She took a few of them from Grandpa Feng and put them in front of Wei Yu, and said with a smile: "Look at these poems, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the writing is extraordinary, and it is also suitable for the topic, it is really a good poem, and the leader is set among these people." ”

Since the Queen Mother has already made a decision, naturally there is no discussion.

Wei Yu had to put away the piece of paper, feeling sorry for this person.

She looked up and searched the many tables for the location of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is her uncle's house, the first queen's mother's family, and a serious relative, but for some reason, the palace has not been interested in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion over the years, and the Dingyuan Marquis has no voice in the court, and it is rare to see the Empress Dowager's wife enter the palace to talk.

This time, a total of eight people came to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, because of the unfamiliar relationship with the royal family and the decline of the situation, the ranking is not high.

Needless to say, Mrs. Hou at the beginning, there are three men and two women in the juniors, four of whom are about the same age as Wei Yu, the oldest one looks at the weak crown, wears a moon-white bamboo pattern round neck, and wears a Hetian white jade crown with a general color, sitting upright, tall and tall, as quiet and upright as a bamboo pole.

But looking at the clothes on his body, he is a little depressed compared to other princes.

Wei Yu felt that he was a little familiar, and carefully searched for this person's figure in his memories.

Xiang Siyuan......

Xiang Siyuan...... Xiang Bojun?!

Wei Yu was stunned, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
