Time is slow

   Chapter 628 Feast

   In the house next to Li Mansion, Qiao Zhao's eyebrows were a little worried: "If I have nothing to do, I will go back. Grandma has been feeling uncomfortable these past two days."

   "Grandma is sick? Then I'll take a look at you."

  Qiao Zhao shook his head: "Forget it, the old man is getting old, and he is not in a good mood when he is in a bad mood. It is not a serious illness. When you go, grandmother has to dress up and see guests, and toss her old man for nothing."

   Shao Mingyuan was not happy when he heard it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I'm a guest?"

   He is obviously the grandson-in-law of the old lady, so how could he be a guest?

   "Anyway, don't go there. What happened at home is a little embarrassing. Grandma is a strong person and doesn't want people to know."

   Shao Mingyuan nodded: "Well, I'll listen to you. I came here today to tell you that I'm still going to the banquet hosted by Prince Rui and Prince Mu."

  Qiao Zhao thought for a moment, then smiled: "Prince Rui is looking for you in private?"

   Shao Mingyuan was startled: "How do you know?"

   "Let me guess, he found you through Big Brother Chi?"

   Shao Mingyuan was even more surprised: "Zhaozhao, when will you be able to tell fortunes?"

Qiao Zhao smiled: "I'm not good at fortune-telling, but yesterday my eldest sister came back suddenly, and she came to me on purpose. You know, this sister and I have never been on good terms, she rarely comes back, if nothing happens, how can she come to find me? Me? I thought of this banquet."

Having said that, Qiao Zhao glanced at Shao Mingyuan with a smile and sighed: "I don't have anything else, I still have self-knowledge. What does it matter if I, a girl from an ordinary official's family, participate in such a banquet? Please invite you in my name."

   Shao Mingyuan smiled and nodded: "The other party is quite smart, I will definitely go if I know you go."

   "Yeah, thinking of this, I said that I wasn't here, and I didn't see her. Prince Rui saw that my eldest sister didn't do anything, so he could only use favors to invite you."

   Shao Mingyuan was startled again: "Do you know that I owe Prince Rui a favor?"

  Qiao Zhao glanced at him: "When you invited Grandpa Li out of Prince Rui's mansion, you didn't rely on favors, could it be because of your face?"

   Shao Mingyuan laughed lowly and blinked at Qiao Zhao: "It's okay to rely on your face."

   Qiao Zhao gave him a white look.

  Shao Mingyuan reached out and held Qiao Zhao's hand, his heart warmed slightly: "Zhao Zhao, since you thought of this, why didn't you recognize me?"

   It turns out that Zhaozhao sees everything he does, and his girl has always been so smart.

  Qiao Zhao patted his hand: "You're just showing off your face, so I'm going to recognize you? My eldest brother is your uncle, and you even killed his sister, shouldn't you do something for your uncle?"

   "Yes, yes, it should." Shao Mingyuan nodded with a smile.

   He likes Zhaozhao's invisible appearance.

   "Zhaozhao, are you attending this banquet?"

  At first Zhaozhao didn't want to participate, so he didn't go because he wanted to let Prince Rui use the favor he once owed.

   Although inviting him to the banquet was not enough to offset his favor for inviting Li Shenyi, at least Prince Rui would think more about anything in the future.

  Humanity is always used more and more thinly, it is best to use it several times on such insignificant matters to save him a headache in the future.

   As for Prince Rui wanting to use Miss Li to have a relationship with him, he was not worried at all.

   The eldest girl Li and Zhaozhao sisters have a bad relationship. He doesn't have to compromise for Zhaozhao's face. If Prince Rui wants to win him in the future, he has to go through the path of his father-in-law.

   Hehe, he is even less worried about taking the road of his father-in-law, just because his father-in-law has a straight temper, and can recognize the daughter of a concubine as a parent, the sun has come out from the west.

   "I won't go, this kind of banquet is boring, maybe there will be trouble."

   "Uh, how do you say this?"

   "Didn't Brother Chi say in Chunfenglou that day that the envoys of Xijiang will not be safe this time. They are going to make a fool of themselves. Isn't it the best time to invite all the nobles in Beijing?"

   Qiao Zhao is really right.

The    banquet was held in the royal garden. The male and female guests were separated, occupying the east and west gardens. The west garden was hosted by Princess Mu.

Princess Mu was wearing a robe with a green woven gold phoenix pattern, which made her tall and dignified. The ladies who came were also dressed in grand dresses, but the girls who had not left the cabinet put on light and graceful spring clothes for the royal family. West Garden brought a touch of bright color.

   "As soon as spring arrives, people are full of life, and their eyes are full of colors, and they are all eye-catching."

  Because of Jiang Tang's death, the entire capital was silent and depressed during the first month of the month. It was not easy to have such a grand banquet. The ladies were gossiping in twos and threes, with relaxed smiles on their lips.

  The little girls were very curious about Princess Xijiang, who had not yet arrived.

   "I heard that this Princess Xijiang is talented and beautiful, I don't know if it's true or not?" a girl in pink asked curiously.

   Another girl grinned and said, "In terms of beauty, can Princess Xijiang be comparable to our nine princesses in Daliang? In terms of talent, there are also the sisters of Fushan Society."

   "That's right, anyway, don't let Princess Xijiang compare us to the noble daughter of Daliang."

   There was a commotion in the crowd: "Princess Xijiang is here."

   Many people looked curiously and saw a petite girl in a Xijiang costume walking over.

  Princess Xijiang wore a long dress similar to the dress worn by Daliang ladies on formal occasions. The difference was that the belt was tied directly at the chest, and the long ribbons tied into bows fell down at will, giving her a different style as she walked.

   Some girls' eyes lit up, biting their ears with their friends and saying, "Wearing it like this makes people's legs look longer. I'll try it out by changing the long skirt to this."

   "Okay, Princess Xijiang is not tall, so she looks very cute in this way."

   A cold snort came: "It's rare and strange, this kind of chest-length skirt was popular in the Five Dynasties period, and it was not researched by Xijiang people."

   Hearing these ironic words, the two girls turned their heads and wanted to fight back. When they saw Lan Xinong, they immediately became honest.

   The granddaughter of the first assistant in the dynasty, they can't afford it.

  Lan Xi Nong gave the two a cool look: "If you have time to study other people's skirts, why don't you read more books!"

   "You—" A girl couldn't help but retaliated, and another girl yanked her sleeves before she lowered her head and said nothing.

When Lan Xinong shifted his attention, the girl whispered with grievances: "What's so great, why should I read the history books of the Five Dynasties to study what skirts the girls wore at that time, I just watched Princess Xijiang dress well. , can't you?"

   "Okay, it's not good for Miss Lan to hear." Another girl calmed down.

   Princess Xijiang's beautiful eyes flowed, and she was very satisfied with the reaction of the ladies. She lightly lifted the skirt and was led by Princess Mu to the seat of honor.

The    music sounded, and the banquet officially began.

  Women get together, and the banquet is nothing more than chatting and drinking.

   Princess Xijiang curved her lips and smiled and said, "What's so interesting, why don't we compare our talents with each other? Whoever loses will be punished for drinking together. What does the princess think of this way of playing?"

   Thanks to the sachets I gave, Long Live the Yellow 110, colorful clouds flying north, traveling in fantasy, and love ^^ for the gifts of peace, and thanks to the book friends who voted.
