Chapter 31: Going to the Banquet in a Down-to-Key Manner
At dawn early in the morning, two carriages set off from Cheng's house, and the wheels rolled towards the palace gate.
I don't know how much the queen invited, as soon as the carriage entered the street, there were many sounds of carriages and horses, and when the curtain was lifted, it was all carriages with lanterns hanging on the streets, and from time to time I could hear a faint sound in the carriage.
After about two incense sticks, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and after waiting for a while, the mother and daughter got off the carriage and followed the palace people who came to greet them into the door.
"Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, two Cheng girls, please."
Du Linxiang smiled and stuffed a large piece of silver into the hand of the waiter, "It's hard work." ”
The waiter was more polite, and took the initiative to talk about some of the people who came to participate in the flower viewing banquet today, the approximate arrangements, etc., and specially said that the Yan family was also invited, but Mrs. Yan was sick and would not come today.
The mother and daughter all smiled, "Thank you for informing." “
The palace has its own majestic style, carved railings and jade cornices and corners, and even the beasts and immortals on the roof are very gorgeous.
This is Xiao Siniang's second time, she also went to the Forbidden City before, but the tour is still very different from really feeling the imperial power, at least there is more fear, feeling the tension of the people around her, Xiao Siniang held Cheng Erniang's hand, "Sister, don't be afraid." ”
The purpose of their entry is to go to the banquet in a low-key manner, leave safely, and show off or anything is not in the scope of consideration, and they will go wherever there are fewer people when the time comes.
Cheng Erniang smiled at her, and Du Linxiang also turned his head and smiled at the two sisters.
Arrived at Fengyi Palace, a palace maid dressed in cyan palace clothes came to welcome the mother and daughter four in, at this time the sky was already bright, as soon as I entered the door, I heard laughter from inside, and the ladies and girls who arrived one step earlier were talking with the queen.
After the four mothers and daughters entered the hall, the laughter suddenly faded, and everyone's eyes all looked towards the four mothers and daughters, after all, they are also the people on the cusp of the city recently.
"Courtiers see the queen's mother, Chitose Chitose!"
"Courtiers see the queen mother, Chitose Chitose!"
The queen smiled and raised her hand, "Get up, Second Miss Cheng stepped forward to let the palace take a look." ”
Cheng Erniang has already combed back the girl's bun, what does it mean, everyone present can see it, and in the encouraging eyes of Xiao Siniang, she slowly stepped forward and saluted the queen, and the queen said: "When Xiao Si came last time, she said that her sister was gentle and dignified, and her temperament was excellent, and today it seems that she is really a woman like water." ”
"I like the golden thread blue palace you gave me very much."
"All these ladies and girls who have come here today are stained with your light."
The women on the side hurriedly agreed, and praised Cheng Erniang, asking why the queen gave Cheng Erniang face like this, it had to be Cheng Daqi's 100,000 taels of silver that played a role, the so-called husband sang with the woman, the emperor wanted to use the Cheng family, and the queen naturally knew what to do.
The ladies present were all human spirits, and the words of praise went towards Cheng Erniang without money, Xiao He and Du Linxiang put on a supportive posture, and Xiao Siniang also sat together holding Cheng Erniang's arm, Cheng Erniang's heart was moved, and she kept a shallow smile on her face.
There was a palace maid to report that the Yuan family was coming, and everyone looked towards the door, and soon, an old lady with gray hair led several female dependents into the door, and the queen smiled even more, and also took the first step to say hello, "I didn't expect the old lady to come in person, it seems that the golden line blue of this palace is indeed rare enough." ”
The Yuan family stepped forward to salute, and the queen stretched out her hand to raise her hand, "The old lady doesn't have to be polite, who in this capital doesn't know that you love flowers the most, and you have the most experience in tasting flowers, you can come in person, and this flower-viewing banquet in this palace has become very different." ”
The old lady sat down with a smile, "I learned that the queen mother got the golden thread blue old woman can still sit still, this flower can only hear its voice and not see its shape, even if the mother does not post it, the old woman will have to be cheeky to take a look." ”
The queen smiled and got up, "In this way, you can go with the palace to see what this legendary golden thread orchid looks like." ”
The gold thread blue is different from the appearance sent by Xiao Siniang at that time, the color on the petals is darker, and the gold thread that was not so conspicuous is also clearly visible. ”
The queen was not so blue when she first got it, "Sure enough, the old lady is still discerning, waiting for the gold thread to be covered with petals, and the palace will definitely invite the old lady to enjoy the wonders again." ”
The old lady smiled and said that she would definitely come, and she couldn't take her eyes off the pot of flowers, which should have been her flowers, but it was a pity.
The ladies were amazed around a pot of flowers, and many people secretly said that Cheng Erniang really had luck, and the front foot and the back foot after returning home got such a rare pot of flowers, and it was not difficult to talk about family affairs in the future with this pot of flowers, at least it was also the person who got the queen's blue eyes.
There are three girls who are all princesses in this palace, and the queen smiled: "You guys came just right, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, take the girls to enjoy the flowers." ”
This was the purpose of the three princesses, and soon the girls followed the three princesses, and they approached the three princesses like butterflies.
Xiao Siniang took Cheng Erniang's arm and deliberately walked behind the crowd, one of the two sisters wanted to be low-key, the other didn't want to stammer, and looked at the flower and whispered, You Jinling didn't know why she fell behind, and said to Xiao Siniang in a weird way, "I didn't see that you were still smart." ”
According to the previous temperament, shouldn't this dog-legged person be sent to You Qinglian upside down?
Xiao Siniang felt that this person was so similar to her third brother, and the eyes that ridiculed her were very similar, "You can't see too much." ”
"Cheng Xiaosi." Eugene Ling grabbed her, "I advise you to keep your eyes open, listen to your mother more if you have nothing to do, and don't be a fool all day long." ”
Xiao Siniang, who broke free, smiled: "It's the same as how smart you are." ”
Looking at the fierce, they are about to become the overlords of the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion, how about not being able to beat Zhang Yuewu's mother and daughter?
You Jinling was almost angry, her sister said that as long as there was no support from Uncle Shunyi, the mother and daughter in the backyard would not be able to jump, but how could Cheng Xiaosi's eyes not continue to be covered with?
"I've never seen a fool like you, you're not afraid of being embarrassed, I'm afraid, don't always come to our Hou Mansion in the future, you are not welcome."
The concubines in the capital are the best at being demons in their Wenchang Marquis Mansion, and they profess themselves what kind of talented women and what beauties they are, but whenever she appears, they must not stop, they are about to go to heaven!
