Chapter 729 hasn't raised his eyebrows yet and bent his knees again
In this Fangchen banquet, the queen was greeted by the emperor and let the empress dowager herself. The empress dowager was also happy and didn't ask much about it. It was yesterday that she responded to the attention of the empress dowager and asked if everything was ready. Which women had been invited. Looking at the list, Qin and Chen families were naturally invited. There are also several, which are all carefully selected by the queen to avoid the people who are familiar with the Duke of Wei. For example, Jianninghou, Wu'anhou and other wives have not been invited, especially the thorn of Princess Pingle, who was left behind by the queen, not to mention the eldest princess, Princess Shou Taifei and other elders.
The queen also explained that she was a junior, and this time the emperor did not have permission to follow the formal court ceremony, so it is not easy to be too extravagant and troublesome, let alone alarm the patriarchal elders, so most of them are " relatives and friends" and have made good peers.
Because of these days, Chen Xiang repeatedly violated the holy will and strongly exhorted the emperor to work with the empress dowager, which made the emperor very uneasy. The plan to treat the princess of Chu excluded the Chen family to avoid revealing the secrets and twists and turns. Therefore, the empress dowager did not know about the upcoming accident today, although she felt that most of the queen's invitations were Qin. The party members seemed to be too petted, but they did not express their dissatisfaction.
There are also several noble families on the list, including the in-laws of Qin Xiangfu - Gao Zu intended to promote the marriage between the family and the nobles, and the Qin family was also willing to obey. Over the years, they have not only married the daughter-in-law of Xun Gui, but also married some of the noble families.
In addition, there are some "neutral" families, which are also from the sign of the emperor, which makes the queen care about it.
For example, the two families of Zhen and Xing belong to the power of the former prince, but the former prince has passed away, and the Zhen family was not very happy with the Duke of Wei because of their children's marriage. Of course, the Empress thought that they could fight for it.
Then there is Huang. Although she is the wife of the Duke of Wei, it has not been a secret that she has not been with her husband's family. Today, for the sake of the whole plan, the queen has to pick up a conflict and dispute before she commits the disaster of the scenery. By the way, she also has a blood Su family's embarrassing revenge on the Qin family, so she is widely invited " "Alliance" tried to make the scenery "unable to sing", and Huang was naturally invited.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of the Ministry of Affairs was not invited, but her daughter Wei Eleven Niang was selected by the queen. Gai was so embarrassed by Qin Xiang's birthday banquet. Princess Shou and Princess Pingle were the culprits, but Wei Eleven Niang also had "crimes" that contributed to the flames. The queen could not do with the two "culprits" for the time being, and it could not be too obviously difficult. Wei Eleven Niang - This husband Gu Yuwen is the head of the first batch of scholars, and the central ministers. The emperor has to win the favor, and the queen is really helpless at present.
But the anger in the queen's heart will not go out. She is sure that Wei Eleven Niang just dares to be so presumptuous when she sees Princess Shou and Pingle in front of her. But today's situation is different. In front of her, the queen, there is not much support from others. Do she dare to provoke? At that time, if Wei Eleven Niang really dares to stand up for Concubine Su, don't blame her for condemning and punishing her. With the "big picture", will the emperor still be humiliated for a foreign woman?
Thinking so, the queen was eager for Wei Eleven Niang to "don't know the importance" and "refrivolence" so that she could return to her grandfather's anger that day.
If you want to invite everyone, except for Chen's family, only Wu'an Hou's wife Xie is not subjectively willing to - Wu Anhou showed that she is working together with the Duke of Wei, and Xie is also a noble daughter, like her mother-in-law. Once the scenery is difficult, this It is bound to help, but there is no way. Who wants to take advantage of Su's Sanniang in today's plan? Su San was a general wife and invited her alone to avoid being obvious, so she had to invite Xie to the palace together with Su San.
In order to appear "reasonable", the queen specially invited Xie, and later added a post to Su San - because she thought that the three sisters Yichen, Yijing and Yifeng would go to the banquet on the same day, and Su San was also the daughter of the Duke of Wei. She happened to have fun with her sisters, but became the Queen's kindness to the Su sisters. As a cont.
What the queen didn't expect was that the empress dowager looked at the list of guests and immediately proposed: "Although the queen does not celebrate the imperial ceremony on her birthday, she is the first invitation to hold a banquet after filial piety. This time, it's rare for you to think about Zhou Dao, or whatever, the mourning family will come forward and invite the patriarchal elders to come together."
Thinking that the princess and the eldest princess will be present, the queen's heart is so anxious that she can't turn her eyes to the empress dowager - I want you to have a lot of trouble! However, she had to suppress her forbearance and thanked her grandmother's "pareness" with a smile, but she thought to herself. This time, it was the emperor's plan to support her to make things difficult to Concubine Su in public. What can the eldest princess do? I can only watch it with my eyes, which is really reassuring.
What's more, it's not at the luncheon. After the luncheon, the patriarchs led by the Empress Dowager of the two palaces can't accompany her to enjoy the scenery, listening to music and laugh. They simply set up a play in the Orion Hall to let these "old immortals" listen together and support them. Princess Chu is not allowed to humiliate herself. , when you are full of anger and then deduct the death penalty, it will be a pleasure.
The queen was very "virtuous and decent" - but she didn't dare to let her grandmother and her elders accompany me as a junior. It was fortunate that she could attend the luncheon, but it was rare for the patriarch to enter the palace all day. How could she let the teaching department perform the new play arranged for fun?
Don't say that the empress dowager, even the empress dowager was surprised by the queen's face this time and would not object.
But since Princess Kang was invited, Pingle, a thorn, actually entered the palace. At the luncheon, as soon as the queen saw her energetic expression and was as close to the scenery, her chest was like a messy hemp thread, which really affected her original pleasure.
Not long after the luncheon began, after many women raised their greetings, the queen thanked the relatives for their presence to "add light" and drank a lot of wine. She was about to soothe her stomach with some delicious food, but Cai Wei, the daughter of the palace beside her, was not hesitant and looked at the princess of Chu at the banquet at a glance - there was no big table today, and It is a long case, and the nobles are all unique seats. The queen, as the protagonist, sits in the south. The scenery is the princess, and the seat is also in the front, not far from the queen.
The queen looked around slightly and found that many women, including her "alliance", frequently paid attention to Princess Chu. She was suspicious. When she took a closer look, she saw that Su was dressed in gorgeous clothes, elegant and beautiful, and there seemed to be no place to attract attention. When she looked closely, she found the maidservant who knelt down on the side of Su's case. The blue skirt lilac half arm is not a maid's clothing, but a maid in a private house.
is eye-catching because her makeup is too gorgeous and not so suitable for her dress.
The queen snorted secretly and said that Su was not praised* decently? Why did you bring such a so-called maid, such gorgeous makeup, is deliberately eye-catching? Just as she was about to look away, she somehow realized that something was wrong. The queen stared at it again...
It's actually Zi Ruo!!!
The queen almost smashed the wine cup in her hand, and Cai Wei helped her more.
However, it turned out that Qin Zi had to enter the palace in a hurry and did not have time to predict the news to "family and friends". After entering the palace, he had to follow the rules, let alone have no opportunity to signal his family. The empress dowager did not have a good intention, and the queen was hiding it in the drum.
I hurried to see my mother, Mrs. Qin--
This man paid special attention to the beautiful scenery today. Of course, he saw Ziruo, and it was also like being struck by lightning - in full view of the public, her daughter knelt aside to serve Concubine Su for dinner. This great shame is even more than the birthday banquet of the prime minister! Mrs. Qin can't continue to drink and delicious food, and her face turns red. Fortunately, at such a palace banquet, the women will not really satisfy the desire of her tongue. Everyone has a shallow taste, and it does not show Mrs. Qin's unique taste.
And Qin Ziruo is naturally full of grievances.
And thought that the Empress Dowager took the lead in edict. Unexpectedly, when Concubine Su went to greet her, she was stopped outside the palace. She did not see the empress dowager's face at all. When she went to the banquet and went to the banquet with Concubine Su, she saw the Empress Dowager, but she ignored her at all, let alone raised the "side concubine" in public. If Qin Zi wanted to remind her The old princess picked up the topic, but the old princess and the eldest princess were ranked first with the empress dowager and the queen of the two palaces. They were still separated from her from the harem concubine, so it was impossible to interrupt. They paid a lot of attention there and did not attract the attention of the old princess. Instead, they were stared by several coldly staring at by the princess.
Thinking of Princess Shou's "uninformed general", Qin Ziruo sweated coldly and had to follow the rules and kneel down to serve Concubine Su.
However, those foreign wives, even the public wife, are not qualified to bring them into the private residence today, and only the people in the clan have this privilege. Most of the women know the contradiction between the Duke of Wei and the Qin Xiangfu, so they pay more attention to Su Fei. If Qin Zi's makeup is gorgeous today, especially eye-catching, she will naturally be recognized by many people.
For good, most of the banqueters today are Qin's followers. Although they don't dare to laugh at Qin Zi if they are groveling, they just don't notice it.
But this has deeply humiliated Qin Ziruo. Although there are cushions under his knees, he only feels pain in the pyramidal. His forehead is densely covered with hot sweat, but his chest and back are cold.
The hatred is getting more and more heartfelt.
But she must endure humiliation under all kinds of eyes. If there is something wrong, it will only make her face worse.
And comforting herself, Concubine Su can only be proud for a short time. Today is the Queen Fangchen banquet. Even if the Empress Dowager wants to mention the side concubine, she can't be in this situation. She should wait for the banquet.
At that time, when Concubine Su was condemned in public, and the Empress Dowager mentioned this again, won't she raise her eyebrows more and more?
Although after a change, it may also make the empress dowager forget this matter, and it doesn't matter. As long as Su Fei is guilty and the empress dowager is worried, she is afraid that the empress dowager will not "remember" afterwards?
She is destined to be today's winner, and Su Fei is destined to be defeated.
This is not the time to worry about this matter. We should put the overall situation first.
Qin Ziruo took a deep breath and poured wine for Yijing with a strong smile.
However, I don't know how to meet Ping Le's eyes, and I saw that the obvious sarcasm was as straight as an ice cone. Qin Ziruo only felt that his chest was stuffy, his ears roared, and his face was hot.
I couldn't help it for a moment, raised my eyebrows and stared back - what are you looking at? On such an occasion, why don't you dare to say something like that back? However, she is a princess who still has to whisper to the queen. In the future, when you are embarrassed, the humiliation of that day will definitely be doubled.
Pingle sneered, turned his eyes away, and laughed with his sister-in-law, Princess Nanyang.
On the queen's birthday, the concubines of the harem are all going to be present to celebrate, even the pregnant Concubine Chen is no exception. Her seat is only the first seat, which is also conspicuous. It is naturally as convenient to pay attention to the surroundings. At this time, she also noticed that Qin Ziruo was slightly naive in her heart - before entering the palace, she also made a lot of preparations and collected a lot. The "information" of the clan and the public waiting women's family has some understanding of the respective temperaments of these important people. With her knowledge, Princess Chu is not a narrow and unruly person. Although she is not in line with the queen, she has never provoked her face to face, but when she went to the palace for a banquet today, why did she bring Qin Ziruo? Didn't she deliberately embarras the queen? This fact is a little strange.
Because Qin Zi is present, the atmosphere of the queen's birthday banquet is destined to be so happy. At the end of the time, the Empress Dowager really invited the elders of the clan to listen to the play: "Let the younger generations have a good time, so that we won't be present and bother the queen to serve. Today, she is a birthday. It's time to spend a day. Have fun."
If others don't know, they will think how much the empress dowager likes this granddaughter-in-law.
Of course, don't say that the heavenly family is a famous family. Even if there are many disagreements between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they still close the door to care about it. There is no reason to frown in front of outsiders, but the queen chose to make trouble today, and the empress dowager did nothing.
The queen sent the "parents" away from the banquet, and turned around with a pair of cold eyes to sweep at the scenery, which made the atmosphere in the banquet hall suffocate again.
However, in a moment, the corners of the queen's lips raised again and told her to drive to the streamer pavilion by Kunming Lake, and then took the lead in leaving the banquet hall under the women's "stars holding the moon".
A war without smoke is about to begin.
