Chapter 241: Set up a plan
Xie Fengyue searched for her mother's figure in the hall, but found nothing.
She knew in her heart that this banquet was another one in which Emperor Zhou summoned the important ministers and their families to announce the marriage of Princess Ya in the name of celebration.
Emperor Zhou also knew that if this was announced in front of all the courtiers, there would be opposition, but if he did the opposite, he would explain it to the court wives first, and they would naturally not stop him.
The long silence in the hall made the atmosphere particularly depressing.
"Beiyuan Yelujing, on behalf of my sister Yeluya, would like to thank His Majesty Qian'an for the marriage." Yelujing thanked her at the right time.
He was in a very good mood. It was good that no one came out to strongly stop what happened today. It wouldn't be a problem if someone stopped him. He had already collected what Beiyuan wanted in Qian'an. It didn't matter whether his sister would marry or not.
When Beiyuan agreed to send the princess to Shengjing, it was not with the intention of a marriage.
His Majesty Shengjing wanted Beiyuan to distract the attention of the family for him, but Beiyuan also wanted to be an upright envoy to the hinterland of Qian'an. The land here is vast and rich, and there are many talented people and strangers. Whether it is culture, agriculture or weapons, these are all Beiyuan has. Scarce.
He has been here with the people from Beiyuan for a month or two, and he understands everything he needs to know, so he is naturally happy.
Emperor Zhou smiled kindly: "Princess Ya will marry as a Qian'an woman in the future. She must take good care of her health and cannot miss the banquet because she is sick all the time."
Yelujing cupped his hands and replied: "Thank you for your concern, His Majesty Qian'an. The climate between Qian'an and Beiyuan is really very different, and my sister is now adapting to it."
Since there were no objections, the matter passed smoothly.
Only then did Emperor Zhou turn his gaze to Baoyang and said: "Prince, you have grown up. You will host this banquet today. You will bring Liu Ying to show your faces to all the ladies."
After speaking, he made a gesture to leave.
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips, really not knowing what to complain about.
Emperor Zhou's behavior is really ugly. Under the slogan of Concubine Lan Shu's recognition, he summoned all the family members of the court officials to come here just to announce that Princess Beiyuan was going to marry Wei Ning. Even the pretentious banquet process was Don’t finish the walk.
Tsk tsk, he is indeed the candidate for the new emperor jointly recommended by the aristocratic families.
With such a majesty in Qian'an, the authority of the family will be truly stable.
Prince Zhou is here today on behalf of Concubine Yu Gui, who is ill and cannot leave the palace. He originally planned to leave with the intention of showing his face, but he obviously did not expect that this job would fall on him.
He sighed silently in his heart. He should have known that there were no high-ranking concubines here today. Those people were all people who knew his father's temperament. What good could a banquet without them even attend?
He spoke many more words, but because of what Emperor Zhou had said before, the interest of everyone present had been affected, and very few people responded.
Prince Zhou really couldn't let go of this face, so he simply handed over the matter to Baoyang and fled.
Baoyang could host a small banquet, but when she saw the crowded seats in the Zhengde Hall, her eyes darkened. In the end, she could only bite the bullet and let the piano players play music, while she led Liu Ying to walk in front of the high-ranking wife.
Prime Minister Wang's family was not in Shengjing, so the first people to bear the brunt were Mrs.
When it was the turn of the Lin family, one of the three young masters, Liu Ying retreated first.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you kind to Mrs. Lin? They won't make things difficult for you." Baoyang asked Liu Ying in doubt as he tugged on Liu Ying's sleeve.
How could Liu Ying tell Baoyang the truth? She hesitated for a long time and whispered: "Because of Miss Yue, there are some misunderstandings between me and the girls of the Lin family. I am a little afraid that they will"
Baoyang frowned: "Then call Xie Fengyue over and explain things clearly. From now on, everyone will meet in Shengjing without looking up, so if there is any misunderstanding, just explain it clearly. Besides, Xiao Shuer has a very good temper. If it is just because of this little misunderstanding, she will definitely not take it seriously." Liu Ying pulled Baoyang's sleeve sadly: "Miss Bieyue and Miss Shu are very close, she will definitely not believe me."
Baoyang glanced at her, turned and walked towards Xie Fengyue.
Liu Ying didn't expect her to be so direct in doing things, so she hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late. Baoyang's clothes slipped from her hands.
Xie Fengyue was eating leisurely and contentedly. She originally thought that today was her Hongmen Banquet alone, but she didn't expect that Emperor Zhou's rain and dew touched everyone present. She felt indescribably comfortable in her heart, and even the food on the dining table had gone cold. The meals all felt particularly delicious.
"Xie Fengyue, don't eat. Now accompany me to Xiao Shuer's seat." Baoyang stood in front of Xie Fengyue's dining table and looked at her condescendingly and said.
Xie Fengyue wiped her mouth gracefully, raised her head and asked, "Why should I go?"
After asking, she saw Liu Ying looking at Shanshan timidly behind Baoyang with a confused look on her face.
Xie Fengyue suddenly realized: "Did Liu Ying tell you something?"
Baoyang's eyes flickered back and forth between the two of them, and finally settled on Xie Fengyue: "Looking at your tone, I know that you and she are really prejudiced. I know that she used to be a businesswoman living in the Lin family, but this is not the case. As she wishes, she and Lan After Concubine Shu was separated, she was rescued by that family, and later she met bandits. She managed to save her life, but was almost devoured by her tribe. It was so twists and turns, why would you embarrass others because of your identity? What?”
Baoyang was already talking to her out of temper. She didn't want to cause trouble and lose face in the presence of elders.
Xie Fengyue looked at Liu Ying curiously: "Wei Ning helped you arrange your life experience like this? It's such nonsense, it doesn't mean he cares about you very much."
Liu Ying's face turned ugly: "Sister Yue, stop talking nonsense, I know you have complaints against me."
Xie Fengyue shook her fan and asked: "Then what are your complaints?"
Liu Ying was so choked by her words that she felt a little unsteady on her feet.
Xie Fengyue looked at her funny and said sarcastically: "I haven't even learned how to crawl yet, and I started to learn how to walk. I can't even understand what I'm saying, so I want to use someone as a gun. I said it a long time ago, Miss Liu, you're out of your mind." No, you still don’t believe it.”
Xie Fengyue narrowed her eyes with a smile, stood up and came closer to her, and whispered: "I will only teach you this time."
"Princess Baoyang, this Liu Ying relies on her kindness to Mrs. Lin in the Lin family and competes with Xiao Shu'er everywhere. How can you still help her? What's more, she is still the daughter of Concubine Lan Shu." Xie Fengyue The last note was drawn out to emphasize the fact that she was Concubine Lan Shu's daughter.
Although Baoyang didn't show any displeasure on her face, she moved slightly back by half a minute. She said dryly: "It's one thing after another. If you have misunderstandings, it's best to talk things through."
Xie Fengyue waved to someone not far away.
Lin Qishu then struggled to break free from her mother's shackles and rushed towards the direction of the few people.
Xie Fengyue nodded: "What Princess Baoyang said makes sense, and we should make it clear if there are certain things."
He also filled in the hole of why the person who bought the medicine before was from Beiyuan.
These chapters are about to start filling in holes like crazy. Every time I write, I have to go back and look for holes that need to be filled.
Good Carvin.
Many times I think about not filling it out at all. Anyway, not many people will read this type of article carefully.
In the end, I still couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart.
Hey, I'm numb.
