The Hundred Flowers Banquet was held in the Royal Courtyard, and this time the Eldest Princess Xuan Ping was the host.
Thanks to a certain incident in the year when the late emperor passed away, there were not many brothers and sisters who survived, the only remaining brothers were Prince Duan and Prince Rui, and among the sisters, only one Princess Xuanping was still alive.
Empress Shangyuan was weak and sick, and died of illness more than ten years ago. Now the central palace is empty, and all the concubines in the harem are closely watching the phoenix position.Especially now that the draft season is coming again, it will undoubtedly have a different meaning if it can be ordered by the Holy Spirit to host the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
It is not without precedent that the Holy Majesty let the fourth concubine preside over the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the past, but what is unexpected is that at such an important moment this time, he actually found Xuan Ping.
Xuan Ping was a little transparent no matter when, when the first emperor was still alive, she was in the middle of the ranking and was not taken seriously. Later, when the emperor came to the throne, he didn't show much affection to this younger sister.
It was because the only remaining living sister of the Holy Spirit was this one, which made her stand out.However, because her husband was from a family, she is good friends with many wives of the family, and they will make appointments to enjoy the flowers and gardens together in their free time.
But this time, Xuan Ping, who has always been marginalized, finally took on such a high-profile job. Although many people thought it was a hot potato, Xuan Ping had other ideas.
She has never been taken seriously for half her life, and she is able to live well until now because she understands current affairs and never interferes in political affairs.If she wanted to continue to live a leisurely life, of course she had to put His Majesty's wishes first. Since His Majesty entrusted her with the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she had to be perfect.
She has been temporarily staying in the other courtyard these days, just to arrange everything.Early in the morning of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the wives of the aristocratic families with whom she had been friends came to help hold up the venue, which finally reassured her.
First is the wife of the Patriarch of the Qu Family.The Patriarch of the Qu Family is a well-known imperial party, deeply trusted by the Holy One, and she is from a noble family. Therefore, Mrs. Qu has a detached status among the wives. Now she is sitting at the lower left of Princess Xuanping, and even Princess Duan wants to A place to retreat.
As the sun rose, the number of people in the other court increased.
Since there were too many unmarried men and women at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, in order to avoid disturbing the female relatives, the men and women gathered in different places, separated by a large garden.
Princess Xuanping naturally sat on the side of the female relatives. At this time, all the young ladies followed her mother, looking around, some were bright, some were dignified, some were elegant, some were gentle, and so on.
Everyone looked at each other, and some who were acquainted with each other looked at each other and smiled, but in front of so many people, these ladies were a little reluctant at first, regardless of their usual personalities, they all became shy little girls at this time.
The wives are more generous, even those who are not familiar with each other will greet and compliment each other.There are also a few talkative ladies who deliberately mentioned the recent anecdote in Beijing, which aroused everyone to talk about it together.
When one mentions gossip, one cannot fail to mention the Liu family.
The original small clan reluctantly slipped to the position of the middle clan because of a favored concubine, but unfortunately, the eyelids are so shallow that it became the laughing stock of everyone after dinner.
Being able to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet represented the status of the family in the Zhou Dynasty to a certain extent. This time Concubine Liu originally wanted to ask for an invitation for her nephew, but it happened to be so close to the opening of the banquet, which made her so ugly.
Concubine Liu heard the rumors in the palace, she was ashamed, she didn't dare to go out for almost half a month, how could she have the face to go to the Holy One to ask for grace?
So this group of ladies didn't shy away from speaking at all, they all laughed and laughed, but the contempt in their eyes couldn't be faked.
However, everyone ignored that there was another Liu Shi at the banquet.
Mrs. Changxing Hou only felt that her face was about to go stiff, and the people around her took her mother's family as a joke, and behind every smiling face were all mockery of the Liu family.
But she couldn't refute it, the whole thing was the Liu family's fault, and what Prince Duan's actions were said to be a fuss at most, but what really made people look down upon was the Liu family's greed for petty profits, even disregarding the family's face up.
Others don't care whether Liu Quan is lying or being instigated by others, they only know that the other party is the Liu family's confidant, so this matter has been marked with the Liu family's logo, so she can only maintain the decent smile of Mrs. Even if this smile is forced out.
Rong Jinhua, sitting beside Madam Hou, also felt that these words were extremely harsh.It's just that she has learned etiquette after all, and although she feels restless, she still put on a demure appearance on the surface.
Concubine Duan was always on tenterhooks, for fear that someone would mention Wan Chengdai, but now she found that everyone was laughing at the Liu family, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief from the sidelines.
It's just that before the breath can be fully exhaled, a voice suddenly appeared in the laughter of the wives, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Are you smiling so happily?"
That voice didn't sound as gentle and melodious as an ordinary woman's, but was slightly deep, with some bewitching sand.
When Princess Xuanping heard the voice, she was lazily resting her chin on the table with her hands, but now she sat up straight, with a smile in her eyes, and said to the visitor: "Say you don't want to participate in this Hundred Flowers Banquet. But I'm so happy." These words sounded like disgust, but the tone was clearly intimate.
Princess Duan looked up, and saw that the man was wearing a red palace dress, with a skirt that was nearly two feet long, and a veil of smoke and gauze hanging between his arms.A suit of magnificent attire, if another person comes, it will definitely overwhelm the guest, but when worn by the visitor, it complements each other.
Her stature is considered tall among women, but her tall and straight figure only makes people feel proud.It was a face that was as gorgeous as peaches and plums, but it added a touch of heroism because of the slanted eyebrows.
The visitor sat directly beside Princess Xuanping, clapped his head sideways, and said with a smile, "I really came here specifically to see my aunt. The more you don't want to see me, the more I want to get in front of you."
After hearing her words and seeing her dressed like this, Princess Duan knew the identity of the visitor.
Princess Weiyang, the name of His Highness is well known.
The mother was deeply favored by the Holy Majesty, and she died when the favor was at its peak, so she became a cinnabar mole in the king's heart from an ordinary beauty, and even Princess Weiyang became the most beloved child of the Holy Majesty.
This princess was used to being arrogant since she was a child, and she became even more reckless when she grew up. She is still unmarried in her twenties, and has kept a bunch of handsome men and women in the mansion for fun.However, because she is not involved in political affairs and can speak in front of the Holy One, few people attack her private life because of this.
Although many wives of famous families and aristocratic families are a little disgusted with her debauchery on the surface, it cannot be said how much they envy her chic freedom behind the scenes.
And because of her detached status, wherever she is, some wives have to show their enthusiasm for her.
Just like now, before Wei Yang could open his mouth, someone had already brought up the matter of Liu's family and said it again.
Princess Wei Yang waved her hand and said, "Isn't this all old news in Beijing? I remember that the most interesting thing recently was that General Qu captured a bunch of high-school disciples from the other courtyard in the south of the city."
She blinked her eyes, as if she had only just seen Princess Duan now, she glanced at her lightly, her long eyelashes were as thick as a crow's feathers, the tails of her eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were shining brightly, and she was full of life and fragrance, "Ah , Ninth Aunt is here too, look at me, this mouth just can't speak."
Prince Duan was ninth among the first emperor's heirs. It stands to reason that Princess Wei Yang called Concubine Duan the Ninth Aunt because of her closeness.
What's more, not only did Princess Duan be mentioned later, but she also added a sentence of "can't speak", so that no one had to guess the meaning of her words.
Princess Duan didn't know how to answer for a while, so she could only smile awkwardly, but the nails under the table were deeply sunken in her palm.
If you want to talk about the other courtyard in the south of the city, the upper and middle circles in Beijing have already spread it.
But because the second son of Prince Duan is related to the clan after all, everyone just said a few words in secret, and didn't make the matter public, for fear of accidentally getting dirty.Who would have thought that the first person to mention it would be Princess Weiyang?
Everyone knows the importance that the Holy Majesty attaches to Wei Yang, so Wei Yang's behavior, in everyone's eyes, is that Wei Yang deliberately targeted Wan Qidai because of the Holy Majesty's dislike for King Duan. .
So these ladies began to hesitate again, should they mock with Wei Yang, or skip this matter and change the topic again?And after all, there are so many unmarried daughters here, it is not appropriate to mention the matter of prostitution in front of them.
Before these wives could figure out how to stand in line, Princess Xuanping said angrily to Wei Yang: "Dai'er is your cousin, she doesn't look like a sister."
These words seem to be talking about Wei Yang, but they are actually blocking the mouth of Princess Duan, and it just happens to confirm the matter of the other court, and lightly expose the matter by the way.
The princess who survived the palace change was naturally not as harmless as she seemed.
Duan Wangfei was so angry that her liver hurt, she could only bear it.
In front of these two princesses, she has no right to put on airs.They are real royalty, and she is just a second concubine.
Wei Yang didn't take it seriously, instead he laughed and said, "Speaking of which, it's time for my other cousin to arrive too."
As soon as the words fell, a maid came to report that Prince Duan and his wife had arrived.
Concubine Duan sat there, feeling a bit of air-conditioning on her body, and the people around seemed to be secretly watching her and laughing at her in a low voice.
Obviously they came out of the Duan Palace together, and they were supposed to come to the banquet together, but Wan Chengzheng avoided her and did not want to go with her.She could only bring Wan Chengdai here alone.
Wei Yang's words earlier exposed the matter that she wanted to suppress, and Wan Chengzheng's move made the discord between him and Princess Duan even more apparent.
She just felt that her forbearance and obedience to Wan Chengzheng all these years were in vain. She spent so much energy and ended up raising a white-eyed wolf.
Sitting here, wearing the clothes of the princess, but she has no confidence at all.
She listened blankly to Mrs. Qu's words: "Look at the many etiquettes of this young couple, and they even told the princess specifically."
Princess Xuanping said with a smile, "Zheng'er's mother is a daughter of the Qu family after all."
The author has something to say: This chapter is mainly about the plot. After all, this article involves Gongdou Chaotang, it is impossible to have no supporting roles at all. Gongdou heads-up is so boring, of course group fights are required (bushi)
In addition, the gender (?) hint of Princess Weiyang is already obvious~
