Chapter 258: Don't worry, the Eldest Princess' Birthday Banquet

Unknowingly, it has been more than a year since Ye Zhao traveled to this world. His thin and rough body has gradually grown, and his skin has become fairer and more delicate. He has never been particular about his clothes, and most of them focus on comfort. In order to suit the occasion, he specially changed into a pure white dress. The neckline, cuffs and hem of the clothes were embroidered with cold plum brocade, which set off the whole figure to be more slender and well-proportioned, imperceptibly adding a bit of stability and elegance.

As if to make a good pair with him, Rong Che also wore the same style of brocade clothes. The difference was that his collar, cuffs and hem were embroidered with black bamboo, which added a bit of the elegance and freshness of a scholar. The pampered son of the family.

"And talk about me, you look good today too."

I really don't want to eat the dog food of the two of them anymore. Feng Mou looked him up and down, and Chen Yixuan praised him sincerely. In terms of appearance alone, Qiankun is uniquely blessed, and he couldn't find an ugly monster. Zhao'er's appearance Maybe not as delicate and eye-catching as him, but he is more beautiful and brighter, but what is most attractive about him is not his appearance, but his temperament. Even if it is coarse linen clothes, he can still look like a yellow robe, let alone brocade clothes.

"That is required."

Ye Zhao didn't mean to be modest at all. Ye Zhao pulled Rong Che to sit down, and glanced at Qin Tian and the others with smiling eyes. They were also wearing the clothes he took out. They were not luxurious, but the quality and workmanship were absolutely superior. His identity in the first world is clearly there. No matter how simple the fabric is, it is paid tribute from all over the world. In addition, it is cut and made by the palace embroidery room.

"Brother Zhao, when are we going out?"

Helping them each serve a bowl of porridge, Qin Tian asked casually, because of the imperial decree, he didn't expect much from the Duke Protector's Mansion. Apart from helping Brother Xuan, his only idea was to pierce Wei Yang and step him into the mud In the field, avenge him for betraying him.

"There's no rush, it's not too late to go out after all the people who are supposed to come are here."

He opened his mouth to bite the little longevity peach that Rong Che brought to his mouth, and Ye Zhao responded while eating. He manipulated the mice in the mansion yesterday to find out, because there are only three serious masters in the Princess's mansion, and the county king's hands are not very good. For convenience, Xi Yan made a temporary change and placed them all in the front yard. They will not distinguish between men and women like others, and it is undoubtedly more suitable for them to make troubles.

"We won't be with you anymore."

Exchanging glances with Wei Qian, Cui Jing'an continued: "If we want to meet up with old friends or students, we can introduce Brother Tong and Brother Sun to them by the way."

As for Rong Che, on the one hand, Rong Lan, who is next to the prince, knows him, which will ruin their plan, and it is not convenient to take him with him; on the other hand, they will not leave the capital for the time being, and they will just take him to visit and make friends some other day. Well, it's impossible for their movements to be small in the future. No accident, after today, no one in the elite circle of the capital will recognize them.

"Alright."

Nodding in agreement, Ye Zhao raised his head and said, "The two of you are destined to pursue official careers in the future. It is also a good thing to make friends with some officials earlier. Remember to listen more and watch less."

Since they have embarked on official careers with Rong Che ahead of schedule, they must learn how to socialize and be an official. Mr. Cui's disciples should be very happy to promote juniors.

"Thank you Brother Zhao, we understand."

The two looked at each other, nodded and said in unison, they have gained a lot of knowledge in more than a year, and they are no longer the two green and immature teenagers.

After the time passed, the door of the Eldest Princess' Mansion opened, and guests came one after another. Everyone, regardless of gender, under the leadership of the steward, the first thing to do when entering the mansion was to meet the Eldest Princess in person to celebrate her birthday, and at the same time offer birthday gifts. For them, any banquet is a form of social entertainment in disguise, and the eldest princess's birthday banquet is no exception. The more distinguished the people, the later they come. For example, the Royal Protector's Mansion, which has achieved great military exploits, only arrives at noon.

"The Lord Protector is here!"

Many dignitaries have gathered in the hall of the front yard like a main hall, among them are many royal family members and princes, including Xia Yunzhou, who has a bearded face and looks unkempt, and the Duke Protector, who is nearly sixty years old, accompanied by the loud singing of the servants. Wei Chen and his wife strode into the hall with great strides. Behind him were the eldest son and his wife, the second, third, and fourth bedrooms, as well as Wei Ling, Wei Yang, and the young masters and ladies who were all outstanding in appearance and figure.

The eldest princess, who was talking with the old sister, withdrew her smile, and when her eyes swept over Wei Yang, a trace of unswervingness quickly slipped through her eyes, without anyone noticing, and soon returned to normal, the point where the emperor was working with the protector of the country She already knows the absurd things. The prince and Wei Yang really love each other, and they can only deceive the innocent and innocent. No matter what the truth is, she doesn't like Wei who hooked up with the prince. Yang, also feels sorry for Lao Qi from the bottom of my heart.

"See the eldest princess, the county king, the county princess, thousands of years old!"

"Thousands of thousands of years!"

Under the leadership of Duke Hu and his wife, a group of people bowed down one after another. No matter how noble their identities were, they were still no more valuable than the royal eldest princess and the county king.

"The Protector of the country is exempt from the ceremony, and I will give you a seat!"

Princess Lianhua, who was dressed in a first-class costume, waved her hand gracefully, and there was nothing wrong with her attitude, tone and expression.

"Thank you, princess."

After clasping fists and bowing again, Duke Hu and his wife led their family to the vacated chairs beside them. I don't know if it was a deliberate act or a pure coincidence. They were lucky enough to sit diagonally opposite Xia Yunzhou and Qing'anhou's mansion. , in front of them are the princes, in order to keep Wei Yang and quell the scandal, the Huguogong's mansion can be regarded as torn apart from the Qing'anhou's mansion, and the group even ignored the presence of the eldest princess and many dignitaries, and their eyes were not eyes immediately , the nose is not the nose, and Xia Yunzhou, from the beginning to the end, never raised his eyes to look at them, looking really frustrated and discouraged.

Duke Hu leads troops in battle all the year round, he is an upright person. Back then Xia Yunzhou and his eldest grandson's marriage was agreed by him personally and he tried his best to facilitate it. Now that the trouble is like this, he is a bit ashamed to see his old friend and the seventh prince. Hu remained silent with a face full of silence. In fact, when he learned that his eldest grandson had hooked up with the crown prince and made a scene known to everyone, he almost rushed back and beat him to death. Despite the advice from his sons and grandchildren, although he is no longer so angry, he is deeply disappointed in his eldest grandson. He has already made up his mind to marry him to the prince, and then he will personally plead guilty to his old friend and the seventh prince. He never dreamed that the emperor would be so decisive. Due to his request, he also had to be a villain.

"Eldest princess, I wish you a happy birthday, a healthy phoenix body, and peace every year!"

It's not that they don't know how embarrassing their current position is, but Mrs. Hu Guogong has no choice but to pretend that she didn't notice anything, and waved for her grandson to hold out a congratulatory gift.

"Thank you, Madam Protector."

Signaling the servant girl to accept the birthday gift, the eldest princess nodded with a smile, and looked over the crowd to Wei Ling: "I haven't seen you for two or three years, the second son is getting more and more handsome, and there is hope for the successor of the Duke Huguo."

Also at the age of 16, Wei Ling was born taller than others, and his whole body exudes the aura of a top nobleman, which is very eye-catching. Many elders or unmarried Xiaokun in the hall seem to have taken a fancy to him.

"The eldest princess is overwhelmed. Wei Ling is still young, and I hope that the eldest princess and the county king will take care of her in the future."

Wei Ling is not very old, but his words and deeds reveal maturity and stability, his handsome face is calm, and he seems to be more like the Duke Protector than his father.

"If I remember correctly, the second son is not married yet, right?"

Nodding in satisfaction, the Eldest Princess asked casually. On such occasions, the unmarried sons and daughters of big families usually look at each other.

"It's true, Ling'er has been at the border for the past few years, and we didn't care about that."

It is inevitable that grandson has a thin skin, and Mrs. Hu Guogong replied with a smile.

"It's already sixteen, and it's about time to make a decision. Mingxuan, if I remember correctly, Xiao Twelve and Princess Ninth are not engaged yet, right? Do you think Wei Ling is suitable?"

The emperor has a total of fifteen adult princes, of which the third prince, fifth prince, eighth prince and twelfth prince are Dukun. The first three princes have already married, and the twelve princes are just sixteen. They were married before and have not yet discussed marriage. The other party died early, and his marriage was delayed. The ninth princess just came of age and was about to choose her son-in-law. I don't know if she did it on purpose or didn't think so much. The mother and concubine of the twelve princes and the ninth princess They happen to be attached to the good concubines in the palace, if Wei Ling really married them, the joke would be a big one.

"It is indeed appropriate. Mother can talk to His Majesty some other day."

As if he didn't see the embarrassment of the Duke Protector's Mansion, Jiang Mingxuan agreed with a smile. How could she not understand his mother?Her old man, this is a grievance for Lao Qi. After all, it is the emperor's uncle's fault. Even if he praises the crown prince again, he will not suppress Lao Qi like this, right?He is the only one under the mother's knee, and he has no heirs. She always treats the princes and princesses as her own children. How can Wei Yang make the royal children so embarrassing, and even turn brothers against each other?

"Princess..."

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Huguo made a gesture and wanted to decline, but the servant's singing suddenly sounded, and the expressions of the family did not change, and they were somewhat embarrassed in their hearts. Only Wei Yang, who had always lowered his eyebrows and pretended to be well-behaved, raised his head, with a smile on his face. It was hard to hide the joy in the eyes, and all the dignitaries in the hall either secretly despised or gloated, as if they were waiting to see a good show.

"See His Royal Highness, a thousand years ago!"

Not long after, Xia Yunpeng in a python robe came in with his entourage and Rong Lan. Everyone stood up and saluted, including the county king and his wife who were seated high on the throne. The only ones who did not get up were the eldest princess and Xia Yunzhou. His own aunt, even the emperor respected her so much that she didn't have to get up, while the latter seemed to have closed herself off, not paying attention to what was happening outside, and she seemed to be breaking a pot, as if there was no distinction between monarch and minister in her heart.

"Excuse me, everyone, today is the emperor's aunt's birthday, and I dare not take the place of the host!"

Seeing the unique Xia Yunzhou at a glance, Xia Yunpeng's eyes quickly flashed disdain, and he led his subordinates forward: "Aunt Huang, I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a longevity like Nanshan. Every year you have today, every year There is today!"

As his words fell, the entourage who followed behind held the birthday present with both hands. The delicately carved peach wood box was completely hollowed out, and there was a shadow of colored glaze in it. Anyone in the big family would know that it was from the closed moon hall. The skin care set should be specially customized by the prince.

"The prince has a heart."

Glancing at the words "Happy Birthday" on the peach wood box, the smile on the eldest princess's face widened a bit. There is no branch in the capital, but the effectiveness of their products has long spread to every household in the capital. It obviously took some effort to customize a whole set of skin care products especially for her. Could she not be happy?Regardless of men, women, young or old, women or Xiaokun, there is no one who does not love beauty, and she is no exception.
