Chapter 724 How are you going without etiquette

In the birthday banquet of the prime minister's house, there is a gift from the emperor in front of the emperor. It is necessary to hold a large banquet to invite guests and friends. The banquet is set up for a total of three days. It is also to offer porridge to the people at the gate of the city, and to give scriptures at the Buddhist temple. Before the banquet, many uninvited posters came to the door with gifts. Naturally, they are all poor families and have no contact with the prime minister, asking for a break up. Post, hoping to show his face at the flowing banquet two days ago, get an opportunity to socialize with the prime minister's subordinates, and strive to be supported.

It has been noisy for nearly ten days. Looking at this scene, no one doubts that Qin Xiangtian is grateful. Although Qin's detention case has just subsided, he has not been involved in any involvement.

But this is also in the eyes of ordinary people.

Mrs Qin, who was in charge of the banquet, was very anxious. Because of the many invitations issued by Quanxun, she had to send people "Taoistic crimes" - as an excuse, such as the elders in the family were sick and could not go to invite; or there were many trivial things, and it was regrettable to be absent; some people even sent congratulatory gifts without even leaving a reply. Words.

Many banquets in the prime minister's mansion have never faced this situation.

Mrs Qin did not dare to take it lightly, so she quickly informed Youcheng and Weng's father.

This inquire, it turned out that those who did not come by reason were all people who had old friends with the Duke of Wei, which vaguely showed that the Duke of Wei did not seem to go to the banquet.

But until the two-day running water banquet was opened, the Duke of Wei did not send anyone to "apologize" and did not give a congratulatory gift to say that it could not come to celebrate. Even many in-laws in the Duke of Wei did not say that they would not come to invite. Naturally, the Qin family naturally thought that the secret letter was to catch the wind and gossip. No matter how the Duke of Wei was, it was the marriage of Qin Mansion. Dear, if you really can't go to the banquet, you have to make an order. It's like the eldest princess is still sick, and the Duke of Wei is busy with official business.

The people who only thought that the "Taoist crime" in advance were just because they had some scruples about the matter and were timid and afraid of things. Qin Xiang didn't pay attention to it at all, but let his family record these people who did not come to invite them, and only waited for the liquidation after the event to give these profit-seeking and avoid harm.

It was not until the day of the banquet that Qin Fu knew how serious the matter was.

When it came to Sizheng, there was only one hour to leave the banquet. Not to mention that none of the women in the Duke of Wei's mansion came to the house, even Zhou and Cai did not say that the Gungfu of those future "Taoist crimes" were old or even invisible, not to mention Chen's Mansion and the King of Chu's mansion, so that the in-laws of the king of Chu - since the emperor ascended the throne and the prime minister's mansion were quite "friendly" Qin Xiang's old subordinate Yin Duyu's family also disappeared.

The guests of the banquet sent invitations in advance. Except for those who did not make it clear, the Qin family naturally thought that the other party would come. The seats were prepared according to the number, but it was half empty. How could this scene not make Mrs. Qin anxious?

Of course, at this time, she knew that she was deliberately embarrassed by the Duke of Wei, so she didn't even follow the entertainment routine. If she didn't come, she would be absent with her relatives and friends. If she didn't say hello, even if you sent an invitation and there was no law to force me to go to the banquet, or if she didn't come, what can Qin Xiang do?

Mrs Qin only hates Huang - it's okay for others. As long as she attends, she represents the Duke of Wei and looks better.

Huang was really wronged. It was not that she didn't want to come, but until the day of the banquet, she had dressed up and was waiting for the eldest princess to send someone to inform her to go to the prime minister's house. There was no sign of the three poles on the day. When she inquired, she knew that the Su family had no intention to invite at all. Huang didn't know that this was embarrassing the prime minister's mansion and stiffened her head. Pi went to persuade and said a bunch of good marriages of the two families, and such behavior was rude.

The eldest princess also didn't bother to barge with her and only said, "If you want to go, I won't stop you. Just prepare your own letter of courtesy."

Huang's mouth is full of Huang Lian. At this time, she is already extremely poor. How can there be a hurry to prepare a gift for the prime minister? I have to give up.

And Mrs. Qin did not have much effort to waste on the useless idleness of cursing the Huang family. She cursed a few words in her heart, so she was committed to quickly covering up the scene and concentrating the greetings as much as possible. For the time being, she could not take into account the heights of each family. In short, she did not let people see the deserted empty seats.

It's also good that there are many old relatives and friends in the prime minister's mansion, but they haven't had a feast.

Compared with others, Mrs. Qin is naturally most concerned about the father and son of the apparent king, but he is the prince of the clan, and the invitation of the prime minister wants to send a post. If they can't come, it is a courtesy to let anyone ignore it.

But if Qin Zi is still waiting to be a side concubine with the king of Chu, if the king of Chu is absent from the birthday banquet, Mrs. Qin will naturally feel more frightened.

Even if the emperor is the master, the latter thing can put Concubine Su to death, but if the king of Chu resists it, even if he surrenders for self-defending in the future, how can Mrs. Qin be willing if his son is wronged in the position of a side concubine?

She could hardly help it, so she sent her confidant to the main door to ask - whether there were so many guests that the car and congestion in the Chu Palace were behind - which made her confidants also be slandered, and her wife was dizzy? In addition, the guests are like a cloud, and the arrangements are arranged properly everywhere. Not to mention that once the royal car arrives unimpeded, it is the public waiting mansion, and there is no reason to be blocked.

In midsummer, May in Jinyang is really a good climate suitable for cold and warm, but Mrs. Qin has been busy with hot and cold on this day, and she is quite weak. However, before the banquet, she finally heard that the imperial concubine Chu was coming, hand in hand with Princess Shou, accompanied by Princess Pingle. Mrs. Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He got out of a group of relatives and daughters and gathered his daughters-in-law, daughters and nieces to welcome them.

Others are fine. Mrs. Qin's second wife and Ba Niang's mother and daughter are particularly excited - Gai Qin Xiang has already made it clear that he wants to marry Ba Niang into the clan. Although the descendants of the imperial concubine Shou have no descendants, Yu Liu, the father of Ba Niang's "fiancé" Yu Yuan, is now a general of Yu Lin Zhonglang. He is a powerful figure, not as good as the idle clan at the beginning, and Yu Yuan was also born. Ba Niang was very satisfied and expected that this marriage could be successful. Although she also heard that Princess Shou was very resistant, the second wife did not give up. Their family had the support of the emperor. In addition, the emperor was also very willing to promote this marriage and strive for Yu Liu in her hands. This matter may not be possible. The second wife intended to marry Yu Yuan's foreign family in Jiangzhou Botao. After a good relationship, she secretly became an in-law, hoping that Tao could persuade the stubborn Princess Shou. This time, when she heard that Princess Shou was coming, the second wife thought that success was in sight.

Along the way, she did not want to tell her sister-in-law: "Since the old princess is coming, the daughter-in-law of Princess Chu will also follow her. Princess Chu is the most treacherous. Her sister-in-law is bound to prevent her from provoking words to Princess Shou and slander the eighth mother. Later, she will have to take advantage of Princess Chu away."

Mrs Qin also calculated that the Duke's Mansion of Wei was going to tear her face off. Concubine Su would not allow her son and side concubine, but since the old princess came, she must have been Ziruo's cleverness to have achieved results. It was best to achieve this today. It happened that Wei, Yang, Peng and Zhuo all came to invite her today. They can be regarded as Concubine Su. At that time, let the eldest daughter lead Concubine Su and those places. She accompanied the old princess and tried to lead the topic to Ziruo in front of a woman. As long as the old princess said in public that she wanted her to be the side concubine of the King of Chu, it can also be regarded as the intention of the Royal Palace of Chu. Later, who will discuss the previous disturbances at the meeting?

Even if the son is temporarily a concubine, he will finally be recognized by the family. The king of Chu is a prince, and the side concubine also has a grade, which is ten times stronger than the unknown concubine at the beginning.

In the future, we can only plan slowly.

All the way, I didn't know that Qin's women's family came to the hanging flower gate and looked forward to the old princess and her party. Mrs. Qin almost stunted.

What about Concubine Su? Concubine Su did not appear. Behind the old princess was like her daughter, Zi Ruo, who was dressed up to attend!

Although this scene was haunted by Mrs. Qin's soul, it was inevitable to be frightened when it really appeared in front of her. This was Weng's father's birthday banquet. At this time, Zi Ruo was still the daughter of the clan and the maidservant of the palace, but she attended like this... However, Mrs. Qin, who was panicked, touched Qin Ziruo's calm and smiling eyes, but she was inexplicably relieved.

In other words, Ziruo girl was indeed immersed in the resentment of the emperor's brother-in-law's "out of the way" for a long time, until a noble concubine Chen was added in the palace and was very favored and pregnant. Then Qin's concubine was degraded. Qin was convicted. Qin Xiang was impeached by a group of courtiers led by the Duke of Wei, and almost implicated him. Zi Ruo had to cheer up. Get up and try their best to please the old princess. Those words that only wish the prince are safe are tireless. They look forward to the old princess entering the palace with blood and fighting for her as a side concubine. When it comes to the old princess's proposal, they simply take advantage of this Qin Xiang's birthday banquet and let her attend with her. In front of everyone, the old princess turned from the throne. , persuaded the Qin family to forgive Ziruo, at least let everyone see that the old princess did have a lot of "pity" for Zi Ruo. With this foundation, it is also good to persuade the empress dowager.

Although Qin Ziruo felt that this matter was a little put into the cart before the horse, the old princess's attitude was very enthusiastic, which made Qin Ziruo difficult to be pretentious.

When she thought about it, it was a quick knife to cut the mess. It was the attitude of the old princess to attend the banquet with her. Everyone witnessed that even Concubine Su and the Duke of Wei could not embarrass the old princess in public. This time, the emperor intended to give her grandfather, and the Empress Dowager would also be scrupulous, which was similar to raw rice to cook cooked rice, there was no more. Yes.

Then he gritted his teeth - even if he could be said, at least it was his grandfather's birthday banquet, and the guests would finally have scruples, and their embarrasment was limited. They were only embarrassed. In order to achieve great things, what is a little grievance? After the public opinion, she was not afraid that it would not evolve into "the imperial concubine of Chu was very happy, so she pleaded for mercy on her behalf. Qin Xiang was helpless, so she was forgiven, and the imperial concubine expressed her willingness to accept the seventh mother of the Qin family as the side concubine of the king of Chu in public, which is also a good story to keep the clouds open and see the moon."

is Yu Yu, because of the old princess, he will not be stubborn and bear the name of unfilial piety.

Su Fei has nothing to worry about - there is not much to live.

So, Qin Ziruo came so dignified and generously.

Mrs Qin quickly calmed down. After leading her family to meet, she welcomed the old princess to the banquet in the garden. She couldn't avoid a topic: "Why don't you see the princess?" Of course, he ignored his daughter and took the position of the prime minister. At this time, he had to treat her as a stranger for the time being.

The old princess's voice is like a bell: "Jing'er lives in her mother's house. Shangyuan doesn't want to come, so she didn't come today."

Qin Ziruo, who held the old princess's arm, almost staggered - what does that mean? Unexpectedly, the Duke of Wei was absent? Concubine Su didn't come?

Now, Mrs. Qin's mother and daughter realized a question at the same time - will the king of Chu come?

But the old princess's volume really scared them, for fear that a less pleasant answer would attract everyone's attention and dare not ask again.

Soon, I arrived at the banquet hall where the women gathered.

As soon as the old princess saw Mrs. Wei, her eyes lit up. No matter how Mrs. Qin was doing, she took the Princess Shou and walked over there and took two steps. She did not forget to turn back and tell Qin Ziruo - still sounded like a bell, and it happened that all of them were ordinary women. Seeing the two imperial concubines coming, they also stopped laughing and rose up to keep silent. It was to hear the old princess's words clearly: "Zi Ruo, this is your home. You don't need to follow me and joke with your sisters and boudoir friends."

For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Ziruo, the maid of the royal palace in gorgeous clothes.

Mrs Qin tripped hard and almost didn't push down a woman's wife, which caused another disturbance.

Isn't this situation at all?

However, Qin Ba Niang still came forward to add trouble. She really took Zi Ruo and sat close to her seat.

This seat is not so "unreachable", and it is indeed the old palace. Therefore, although the ladies on the table are surprised, they do not resist the Qin sisters.

Mrs. Wei was stunned when she saw this scene. After a while, she asked, "Why don't you see the princess?"

Mrs Qin behind her was soaked in cold sweat.

This time, it was preempted by Princess Shou--

As soon as the words were spoken, it attracted a silence. Many nearby ladies looked at each other and looked at each other, but their hearts were boiling, but they could not speak.

I'm secretly thinking that today's Qin Xiang's birthday banquet, is this the rhythm of someone going to smash the scene?
