Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

Just then, the palace attendant in front came and saluted respectfully in front of Ruan Tao, "Mrs. Nanping Hou, Princess Zhuang has said that for this first excerpt, please order Madam Hou."

After the palace man finished speaking, he bowed deeply towards Ruan Tao.

It means that Princess Zhuang's meaning has been expressed very clearly. The position of the first excerpt today is given to Ruan Tao. If the excerpts are not good, the palace people will not go back to resume their lives. Otherwise, the palace servants who can serve here are all human spirits? Not a single extra word was said, but actually everything was said in this sentence.

The Plum Appreciation Banquet is considered a formal palace banquet.

Such palace banquets have always been prepared and held by the palace.

Those invited to the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet were not only the descendants of noble families and officials, but also the women and children of various palaces. The emperor had many things to do and did not have time to organize such a palace banquet. Therefore, most of the people who hosted such palace banquets were the concubines of the harem. Concubine.

It's just that the emperor has been diligent in political affairs since he ascended the throne. In addition, the emperor is not very young and has never cared about the harem. Therefore, the emperor's harem has always been vacant. This has led to formal palace banquets such as the Plum Appreciation Banquet and the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. There was no concubine to preside over.

This kind of palace banquet is originally a matter to show off the royal family's face. It must not be left to the palace people to arrange it at will. If anything happens, the royal family will help the royal family's face. Therefore, the emperor's aunt, Princess Zhuang, took on the important task of hosting every palace banquet for the emperor.

In addition, Princess Zhuang herself is a female family member, so every time she returns to the palace banquet, the first drama for the female family members is ordered by the "hostess" Princess Zhuang. After that, the order of the female family members in the palace banquet will be followed, that is, the female family members in Beijing. Sort by position, click on the five scenes in sequence.

By the time the five scenes were finished, the female family members who didn't like to listen to plays were all enjoying themselves.

Only the female relatives who like to listen to the opera will stay and continue to order and listen to the opera.

But today's highlight was given to Mrs. Nanpinghou by Princess Zhuang.

This is enough to give Nanpinghou Mansion and Nanpinghou Madam face.

Princess Zhuang is the head of the female family in the capital. Even when the emperor sees her, she will bow respectfully. Generally, there will be no etiquette like giving in to the show.

Unless the emperor had given instructions to his aunt, Princess Zhuang would act like this.

This shows the status of Nanpinghou Mansion and Nanpinghou Madam in the eyes of the Emperor and Princess Zhuang.

It is true that the old lady is here today. Everyone in Beijing knows that the mistress of Nanpinghou Mansion is Mrs. Nanpinghou, and Princess Zhuang is the elder. Princess Zhuang can give way to Mrs. Nanpinghou, but if she gives way to the old lady, the old lady will not accept it. Come on, this salute and thank you are inappropriate.

Ruan Tao is actually better here.

There is knowledge everywhere in the capital, and if you don't handle it well, it is a trivial matter to be laughed at in your heart, and it is easy to offend people like Princess Zhuang.

So, when the palace man finished saying these words, there was suddenly silence all around, everyone knew that Ruan Tao would definitely say thank you. The noise at this time was helping both Princess Zhuang and Mrs. Nanping Hou at the same time, so now it became The quietest time.

Ruan Tao put down the playbook in his hand, stood up from his seat, and saluted Princess Zhuang in the front row to thank her.

Princess Zhuang was graceful and dignified and responded with a smile.

A slight tap of his fingertips signaled Ruan Tao to sit down and talk without being formal.

Everything he did was exuding affability.

Ruan Tao was disrespectful.

He just flipped through the booklet casually in his hand and sighed, "When I first arrived in the capital, I didn't know what kind of drama the princess and ladies would like to hear. I was afraid that the drama would not be good, so I took advantage of the princess's kindness and ignored it. The elegance of all ladies is actually too abrupt..."

Ruan Tao seemed to be talking to himself because of the rare occasion.

The palace people looked at her in surprise.

First, it was the first time I saw Princess Zhuang giving a play. Some of the female relatives were afraid that the play would not be good, so they were hesitant.

Not only the palace people were surprised, but also the censor's wife on the side.

Especially Madam Yushi, she was still frightened by what happened just now, and now, the lingering fear is still hanging on her face. When Ruan Tao said to herself, Madam Yushi was not only surprised, but also had a vague premonition suddenly rising in her heart.

Ruan Tao did not raise his eyes to look at her, but the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and there was a trace of inexplicable look mixed with it as if nothing had happened, which still made Mrs. Yu Shi's heart drop for no reason, and the anxiety instantly hung on her face, which was a bit seeping. .

Sure enough, Ruan Tao who was listening to the side soon turned to Madam Yushi and said cordially, "Today's Plum Appreciation Banquet is the first time to attend such a formal occasion. I was still worried at first, but fortunately Madam Yushi gave me some advice, and the benefits were good. If it’s not as good as this scene, I’ll boldly ask Madam Yushi to order it for me. Madam Yushi will order it for me once, and I’ll be able to do it in the future. What do you think, madam?”

After Ruan Taowen finished speaking, his face looked as calm as possible.

But every word Ruan Tao said was like a huge stone being thrown calmly into the boundless lake. Each one was enough to set off huge waves.

When Ruan Tao finished saying "What do you think, Madam?", Madam Yushi's face turned purple!

Soon his face turned pale again!

I was so scared that I couldn’t speak!

The palace people were also shocked.

After serving the palace banquet for so long, I have always communicated in front of Princess Zhuang. This is the first time I have heard this...

The palace man looked at Ruan Tao, then turned to look at Princess Zhuang blankly.

It was clear that Princess Zhuang's face was full of displeasure.

It's just that this kind of anger was not directed at Ruan Tao in the first place.

Mrs. Censor's lips turned pale immediately, and she stood up tremblingly under the gaze of Princess Zhuang and everyone. The arrogance and arrogance she had earlier had disappeared, and she could only stammer out a single word for a long time. , and trembling lips, "I, I..."

Princess Zhuang picked up the tea cup and said in a cold voice, "Since Mrs. Nanping Hou has spoken, you can order it. Don't you usually like liveliness? It's quite lively today."

Princess Zhuang's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Madam Censor's head, unable to escape.

Mrs. Yushi was used to making public in the capital, and many of the female family members didn't like her very much.

The status of Mrs. Yushi is not a high one, just because Mrs. Yushi's natal family is Duanhe County Prince's Palace.

It is said that Prince Duanhe's palace is not in the capital, so Mrs. Yushi should restrain herself no matter what.

But Mrs. Yushi always kept a high profile in Beijing.

She relied on her status as the niece of Prince Duanhe, but because she was raised by Prince Duanhe since she was a child, she was always laughed at and favored, and was used to being flattered and put down by others. For those who didn’t know, they thought she was even grander than Prince Duanhe’s own daughter.

Just because of Duan's relationship with the county prince, Yushitai has gained a lot of glory in recent years, so Mrs. Yushitai is even more arrogant.

Everyone in Beijing understands that everyone is lucky enough to win!

It is mindless to provoke the opponent when he is lucky. It is almost equivalent to a useless effort, and it is easy to get yourself involved.

Therefore, although Mrs. Yushi has only been known as Mrs. Yushi over the years, she has always walked sideways in the capital.

Only a character like Princess Zhuang can hold it down.

In these years, it seems that this is the first time that Ruan Tao has suffered a loss from the wife of the censor, who has a strong background!

Many people feel comfortable!

you do not say!

Everyone knows that the Nanpinghou Mansion is now a favorite in the eyes of the emperor. Whether they are at court or at the border, everyone is looking at the emperor to see how the emperor cares for the family members of the Nanpinghou Mansion. Even Princess Zhuang today had the rare opportunity of giving the right to choose the first excerpt to the Marquis of Nanping. Fortunately for her, she didn't know how to avoid taboos, and she ran into Princess Zhuang's bad luck.

And in front of so many people...

There is no need to wait for today's plum blossom appreciation feast to end, this matter will spread throughout the capital.

Originally, the army had been dissatisfied with Yushitai's actions recently, especially regarding the dispatch of troops to the Qiang Rong. Yushitai had a confrontation with the Ministry of War, and even had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Ruan Shimo in the morning, which ultimately delayed the dispatch of troops ordered by the Ministry of War. Time allowed Fu Boyun to delay the Qiang Rong in an extremely heroic way, allowing reinforcements to arrive and preventing the territory from changing hands and the people being displaced.

Although the Yushitai is not directly at fault in this matter, because one of the responsibilities of the Yushitai is to verify officials. The Qiang Ya matter is inherently complicated, and the Yushitai was forced to get involved in the investigation of officials and verification. They were all so anxious that they could only argue in the morning as usual, but they didn't expect that something really happened at the border gate. Fu Boyun put his head in the border gate, and the matter suddenly took a turn.

Although the emperor didn't say anything, more than half of the indignation in the court and the army was directed at the Yushitai, and the imperial envoys and officials were on pins and needles.

The situation was already like this, but I never thought that the royal censor's wife didn't know how to avoid its sharp edges and behave with her tail between her legs.

Not to mention that Mrs. Nanping Hou was originally Ruan Shimo's daughter, and that Fu Boyun's death had something to do with Yushitai's left and right, let's just say that Ruan Tao was able to give the imperial concubine in front of Princess Zhuang and so many other female relatives today. Mrs. Shi gave a loud slap in the face.

Especially when he mentioned the sentence "Today I came to enjoy the Plum Blossom Banquet... I was still worried at first. Fortunately, Mrs. Yu Shi gave me some advice, and I gained a lot... If you dare to ask Mrs. Yu Shi for advice once, you will be able to do it in the future." The implication is that today It has been mentioned once by Madam Yushi.

Good guy!

The face the emperor made with Princess Zhuang was actually slapped by her!

I don’t know whether this hit Mrs. Nanping Hou in the face, or the face of the Emperor and Princess Zhuang!

But anyway, this sound is quite loud!

Picking up the teacup, everyone knew whose face was swollen today!

But when she put down the tea cup, the female family members in the capital knew very well - I am afraid that Mrs. Nanping Hou is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

It's not even a lamp...

It's just a moth.

‘Yao Mo Zi’ Ben Mo also picked up the tea cup leisurely.

——Remember, how the Nanping Hou Mansion will appear at the plum blossom appreciation banquet tomorrow will be how Beijing will get used to seeing the Nanping Hou Mansion in the future.

Ruan Tao put down the tea cup and looked at Ruan's mother.

Ruan's mother just put down the tea cup and glanced at Ruan Tao from the corner of her eye. At the beginning of the excerpt, she also introduced the old lady to the other female family members around her.

Although the old lady was cautious, she relied on her many years of experience and had spent the past two days practicing Ruan Tao over and over again in the mansion. She was dignified, kind and generous as she drank tea and listened, smiling without saying a word, filling the Marquis' mansion. The old lady's "wisdom" made others unable to help but look at her more.

The drama has just begun, and the place where you sit is already feeling warm and cold.

The censor’s wife had just ordered the show and looked livid.

Sitting next to the iron-blue censor's wife, her face was full of beauty, slowly sipping tea, and talking to Ruan Tao beside her.

In the middle of the front row, today's backbone is listening carefully to Mrs. Censor's order for her favorite play, Princess Zhuang.

On either side of Princess Zhuang were the young ladies of the Grand Master's Mansion who had remained silent; General Yun's wife, who was addicted to watching plays but was pretty good at riding horses...

The old lady continued to be reserved and dignified. There was Ruan's mother who could help her out. The old lady was relieved, but she still did not dare to relax.

Who knew that she would be the most nervous person in the whole garden.

The noisy gongs and drums and fancy singing quickly attracted the attention of the old lady and most of the ladies. Except for those who spoke quietly, their eyes were cast on the stage.

Only Ruan Tao, who was not used to drama, looked seriously on his face, but in reality he was looking around with his peripheral vision.

She was able to stand firm in her first move here.

Here at Changge, we just followed Hai Lingchen to the male guests; as for Sisi, Marmot and Tuanzi are with Fu Aoquan, not here on the stage, but with Fu Aoquan here, there should be nothing to worry about. of.

Today's Fu Aoquan is not easy to mess with.

"Mrs. Hou, try this, winter plum snowflake cake, made by the royal chef in the palace. Princess Zhuang's favorite." The lady from the aristocratic family beside her took the initiative to get close to her.

Ruan Tao smiled and cooperated, "I just want this bite."

The other party understood, "Keep it all for you."

Ruan Tao smiled.
