Chapter 120: A Big-Tempered Straw Bale
Even if it's something, calling the shit department of etiquette doesn't work.
Looking at Shang Rongzhou's gaze, it gradually became cold.
"The eldest princess is unwilling to salute the ministers?" Luo Qingshan had an annoyed smile on his face.
He is accustomed to being powerful and blessed in the Golden City.
He has a big temper.
Shang Rongzhou snorted: "Guogong is really persistent. β
She had never seen Luo Qingshan in person.
Before today, she had always thought that this Guild, which was dominant in Jincheng, was a powerful minister, such as a black belly, such as a scheming and calculating.
Before she came, she had already thought of various means and countermeasures to deal with the ministers.
But after a few words of dialogue, Shang Rongzhou suddenly realized.
This Luo Qingshan is not a minister.
He's a straw bale.
A big-tempered straw bale.
Although he regretted that his previous preparations were useless, Shang Rongzhou also took a breath.
It's always easier to deal with a straw bale than it is to deal with a powerful minister.
"What is persistent or not attached, I am your uncle, you salute me, it is justified!" Luo Qingshan put on the temperament of a ruffian.
The implication of his words is: No matter what high status you have, and no matter what kind of ritual department and household department you move out, I am your uncle, and you just want to give me a salute.
Luo Qingshan's suddenly raised voice made the eyes of the ladies in the hall look over.
One is the powerful and prosperous prince, and the other is the high-flying and domineering eldest princess, both of whom have a bad reputation outside.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
Shang Rongzhou stared at Luo Qingshan's face, and she suddenly smiled.
Luo Qingshan's arm had goosebumps when she looked at her smile, and the smile made people a little embarrassed.
"What are you laughing at?" Luo Qingshan said again.
Shang Rongzhou touched the jade ring on her hand, and she said with a smile: "If the prince really wants the palace to salute first, ask the imperial grandmother first, all the high-ranking officials and nobles present are the most fair and will never be biased." β
Shang Rongzhou kicked the ball to the queen mother.
Luo Qingshan saw Shang Rongzhou kick the queen mother, and his chest rose a little more.
He waited for the Queen Mother to speak with great confidence.
The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on a high seat, unexpectedly said to Luo Qingshan: "What the eldest princess said is that it is better for the prince to salute the eldest princess first." β
Luo Qingshan was stunned and shouted to the queen mother: "Sister......"
"The princess is right, formal occasions should be done according to the rules. Let the prince salute the princess. The Queen Mother said again.
Luo Qingshan wanted to refute again, but when he noticed the queen mother's gaze, Luo Qingshan was like a frosted eggplant wilting, and had to salute Shang Rongzhou, who sat down.
Luo Qingshan reluctantly gave Shang Rongzhou a gesture: "Minister Luo Qingshan pays a visit to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. β
Shang Rongzhou smiled skillfully, her side eyes were biased towards Zhao Chenghui, and she asked: "Zhao Gongzi, you said that this minister gave a salute to the eldest princess, what kind of salute should it be?" β
Zhao Chenghui replied: "It should be a bowing ceremony." β
After hearing this, Shang Rongzhou raised her chin towards Luo Qingshan again, and she smiled: "Guogong also heard it, let's do it." β
Luo Qingshan immediately pointed at Shang Rongzhou's nose and glared at her: "Shang Rongzhou, don't go too far!" β
Luo Qingshan's words fell, and Shang Rongzhou did not speak.
Everyone in the hall held their breath, and the lively scene suddenly fell silent.
The hall also echoed with Luo Qingshan's seemingly non-existent echo.
In the quiet, the queen mother who was sitting on the top seat said: "The prince is presumptuous." β
Luo Qingshan glared at the Queen Mother, not knowing why she always spoke for this little girl.
The queen mother said: "The prince of the country should bow to the eldest princess. β
"I'm ......" Luo Qingshan pointed to his nose, and he looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.
The Queen Mother didn't look at Luo Qingshan anymore, Luo Qingshan knew that she couldn't do it.
He could only reluctantly kneel in front of Shang Rongzhou, and reluctantly bowed to Shang Rongzhou.
Shang Rongzhou seemed to be very satisfied.
She said, "The prince is exempt, get up." β
Luo Qingshan lowered his head, but gritted his teeth.
After hearing Shang Rongzhou's laughing voice, Luo Qingshan glared at Shang Rongzhou with extreme dissatisfaction, and Shang Rongzhou smiled brightly at him.
She sat on the seat and bowed slightly to Luo Qingshan, who was getting up, as if she was saluting Luo Qingshan.
"The courtesy of the Duke of the Kingdom has been received, so sit down." Shang Rongzhou said the atmosphere.
Luo Qingshan was angry again, but now even the Queen Mother was not on his side, and he had no other way.
Luo Qingshan sat in his seat angrily.
Shang Rongzhou didn't bother to pay attention to the gaze from the other side.
She slowly sipped the food on her table.
Jincheng is not as good as Dejizhou City, and the distance between the two cities is very long.
Shang Rongzhou is used to eating Jizhou's food, but Jincheng's diet is not very accustomed to eating, and the only thing that can be eaten is a steamed crab.
The banquet came to a climax.
A group of ministers and daughters have presented birthday gifts to the Queen Mother.
"This is the birthday gift of the courtiers to the Queen Mother - Taizhen Zhuyan Jade Ointment, this ointment nourishes the blood and liver, nourishes the skin, and the courtiers think that the Queen Mother will definitely become more beautiful if she uses it."
The Queen Mother looked at the shy girl in the water show skirt and was very satisfied, and the Queen Mother looked at the aunt in charge next to her with a smile.
The aunt in charge immediately said loudly: "The queen mother's bounty is tired of a pair of green steps." β
The maidservant beside her sent a tray covered with a red cloth to the courtier in the red dress: "Thank you Queen Mother for the reward." β
When the woman in the red dress received her reward, she retreated back to her seat.
After she sat down, the second lady wearing a light blue dress came forward to give the queen mother a birthday gift: "This is the ...... that the courtiers dedicated to the queen mother"
ββ¦β¦ The Queen Mother appreciates the double happiness of agarwood inlaid with gold. β
"Empress Dowager Xie."
"This is the ...... courtiers"
ββ¦β¦ The Queen Mother appreciates the cloisonnΓ© enamel hand stove. β
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Shang Rongzhou was not too interested in this, she was still concentrating on eating her crabs.
I don't know how many women have given gifts, and I can't remember how many crabs I have eaten.
She ate until her stomach was up, then she put down the crab in her hand and looked down with interest.
In the middle of the stage stood a woman who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, born extremely beautiful, her white and translucent skin seemed to glow, her eyebrows and lips were slender, her eyes were bright, and her black hair was hairpinned with two double-petaled begonia flowers, and the skirt of begonia powder added to the style.
[Well, I was born really beautiful. γ
[If such a beautiful sister is brought into the house, it will be a ...... scenery]
Shang Rongzhou was also attracted by this little woman.
didn't notice at all that Zhao Chenghui next to him was almost choked to death by the water.
The little woman's pink petal-colored lips opened gently: "The second grade of the courtier's daughter ordered Gu Qingyun, the daughter of Gu Yuan, to meet the Queen Mother." β
Catch a certain keyword β
Shang Rongzhou: ?!
She looked incredulously at the woman standing in the middle of the stage.
Gu Qingyun, Gu Qingyun?
