Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Gu Shaoyu gently gave Bei Chen a few instructions, and Bei Chen took his orders and left.

The palace banquet officially began at the hour of You. Officials who lived farther away had to leave early, as it would be inappropriate to let His Majesty wait for their subjects.

The old lady wanted to find opportunities for her granddaughters Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi, and also wanted to give her three nieces and granddaughters a chance to find a husband, so she arranged to set out from the mansion at the end of the Si hour.

At the palace gate, according to the palace's arrangement, the carriages were parked at a designated location outside the second gate, and the officials and their families from various mansions who came to attend the palace banquet entered the palace through separate male and female passages.

"Eldest Sister"

"Second Sister"

On the palace road, the three young ladies of the Xie family, Xie Tingting, Xie Wanwan and Xie Xiuxiu, bowed and greeted Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Xiangxiang.

Xie Tingting was dressed very beautifully, and her mouth was very sweet: "Eldest sister, you and the elder look so good in your court robes."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly but said nothing.

Xie Tingting held Xie Xiangxiang's hand, cute and lively, and said affectionately: "Sister, you and my elder sister are in the same mansion. My elder sister will definitely take good care of you, right? Sister, you are so lucky to be able to marry into the same mansion as my elder sister."

Xie Xiangxiang sneered, biting out each word through her teeth, and said, "Yes, I am very caring. I am really too caring!"

Xie Zhaozhao ignored her and only spoke to Old Madam Xie and Second Aunt.

Xu was still as honest as ever, and she scolded, "Xiangxiang, how can you talk like that?"

Seeing that Xie Zhaozhao ignored her, Xie Tingting didn't care and laughed with Xie Xiangxiang about something. Their voices were low, but they were both very excited.

Old Madam Xie and Old Madam Hou walked into the palace while talking, and the younger generations followed behind them.

Xie Tingting took Xie Xiangxiang's hand and walked to Xie Zhaozhao, deliberately separating Old Madam Xie and the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion. Xie Tingting tilted her head and smiled, seeming to be particularly sincere.

"Eldest sister, we grew up together. Even if you marry well, you can't thank me enough."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at her with an unclear expression and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Eldest sister, I thought you would consider the fact that we grew up together and treat my second sister better. I didn't expect that you would be worse than outsiders and actually take the lead in bullying my second sister. Things change over time. Eldest sister, you should leave yourself a way out so that you won't have no way out in the future!" Xie Tingting carefully reminded Xie Zhaozhao.

"Miss Xie San, do you know who you are talking to?"

"Tingting, don't mess with her!" Xie Xiangxiang quickly stopped Xie Tingting, turned to look at Xie Zhaozhao, and said sarcastically, "Oh, what a great prestige! Tingting is young but she knows how to maintain sisterhood. She is different from you.

Don’t you follow the rules? One day, someone will make you follow the rules to the end! "

Xie Zhaozhao turned to Yuanyuan and said, "The wife of the prince has no manners at all. She is disrespectful to her superiors. Slap her in the face!"

Without saying a word, Yuanyuan slapped Xie Xiangxiang twice so hard that a strand of her hair fell off.

Xie Wanwan and Xie Xiuxiu looked on without daring to say a word.

Xie Tingting quickly helped her sister pin her hair up, staring in disbelief, gritting her teeth and saying, "Eldest sister, we are all your sisters... This is on the palace road, you beat your own sister in front of so many people? Aren't you afraid that others will say you are vicious?"

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at their faces lightly and said, "Don't be afraid! Just shout it out."

Xie Tingting originally thought that in the palace, in front of everyone, Xie Zhaozhao would definitely consider her face, but she didn't expect her to become more and more ruthless.

He stamped his feet, said a few words to comfort Xie Xiangxiang, and went back to Xu.

Seeing her eyes filled with tears and a sinister look, Xu said, "You got beaten? You don't learn your lesson. You deserve it."

Tiffany Hsieh said nothing.

After entering the palace, Zhi Yaoyao and her two sisters followed Tu closely. Zhi Yaoyao held a guqin, Zhi Qinqin held a flute, and Zhi Meimei only wore her dance costume and shoes. The costumes of the three were borrowed by the old lady and Tu from Xie Xiangxiang.

The banquet was held in the Taiping Hall. After entering the palace, everyone rested in the side hall of the Taiping Hall and waited for the dinner to begin.

The people from the Shangbao Division had already set up the throne in the Taiping Hall, the Huangcheng Division had planted yellow flags on the east and west sides outside the hall, and the Imperial Guards had sent twenty-four imperial guards from the Dianqian Division to guard the east and west sides of the hall.

The Jiaofangsi set up nine-music songs inside the palace and a grand music outside the palace. The Guanglu Temple set up a wine pavilion to the west and a food pavilion to the east under the imperial throne. To the east and west of the wine and food pavilion were the delicacies pavilion and the vinegar and fish pavilion.

The crown prince's throne was located to the east of the imperial throne, facing west, while the other kings were arranged on both sides of the imperial banquet, facing east and west, from north to south. The ministers above the fourth rank were arranged inside the palace, while those below the fifth rank were arranged in the corridors on the east and west sides of the palace.

There were people such as the pot steward, the wine steward, and the food steward serving nearby.

Everyone sat down. Xie Zhaozhao greeted Madam Hou and took Manman to Xingning Palace. He whispered to Yuanyuan, "You stay and pay attention to Xu's actions."

Old Madam Xie had already gone ahead and went to Xingning Palace.

"Your Highness, look, Zhaozhao looks so beautiful in her court dress." Old Madam Xie was very happy looking at her eldest granddaughter.

Concubine Xi thought that her sister-in-law was the most beautiful woman, but she said: "The wife of the cabinet minister is the most noble lady in the capital."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Comparing me with the Imperial Concubine is like a candlelight competing with the sun and the moon."

Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "You two should stop being so modest."

Concubine Xi smiled faintly: "All the children were miscarried, and none of them survived. It is impossible for me to have children in this life! Zhao Zhao grew up under my lap, so he is my child."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie felt sad and guilty and couldn't speak for a long time.

What can we do? This is how it is in a big family. Girls have no choice.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Madam Xie: "How are the arrangements for Third Sister? Does Mother already know about the selection of concubines?"

"We didn't tell them about the selection of concubines." Old Madam Xie said, "Your father promised her to Liu Zekun, the second son of the governor of Yingzhou. I have seen Liu Zekun, a good child, good-looking and well-educated. He always ranked first in the local college."

Xie Zhaozhao thought it would be nice if Xie Tingting could marry to Yingzhou.

Madam Xie said, "Your father wants to settle the marriage as soon as possible. Magistrate Liu will not be in the capital for many days, so it should be settled before he leaves."

That happened in the first month of the year.

"Grandma, please be more careful at night and send someone to keep an eye on Tingting. I'm worried that something might happen."

"What do you mean?"

"Just now when I entered the palace, she and my second sister threatened me at the palace gate, saying that they would wait to punish me!"

"Asshole!" Old Madam Xie hurriedly stood up and asked for leave from Imperial Concubine Xi, "Your Highness, I'm leaving first."
