Chapter 1561 General Tiger Girl 45


Chapter 1561: Tiger Girl 45

After drinking, the prince stood up and said congratulations.

The prince has a fair face and no beard, wearing a blue and white crew-neck suit,

Twenty-one years old is a young age, and it has been two years since marriage. Logically speaking, it is necessary to grow a beard. But in order to show filial piety and not touch the thorn buried deep in the official's heart, he still dressed up as a teenager, making it a little more nondescript.

In addition, the prince's talent is not very high. It is said that it takes a long time to memorize a book. Every time he is randomly checked on his knowledge, he is often scolded by the officials.

"The ice pond is the ground, and the gold is the terrace...well...it will be a joy to serve you, and the blessing will be to the world..." The prince said in a mellow tone, but sometimes got stuck. The words he said were obviously prepared in advance and asked to be recited by him.

Seeing how hard it was for everyone to hold back their laughter, the officials could only sit there shamelessly. He secretly cursed who wrote it as a ghostwriter. He clearly knew that the prince's talent was not high, but he still wrote so much. Let's end it quickly.

After the prince finished speaking, an old minister raised his glass. Shout loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen."

When everyone saw this, they also raised their glasses: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the Queen."

The official finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised his glass: "All my dear friends, have fun together."

After drinking a glass, the queen said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty, I will drink a few more glasses when I go down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." The prince saluted in a formal manner. Just as he was about to turn around, he remembered something and quickly stood still, saluting to the official: "Thank you, Father."

This was too fake. There was a young prince who couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. But he was quickly stopped by a wink from the concubine beside him.

No matter how thick-skinned the official is, his face still feels a little hot. The prince seemed even more stupid than before.

The queen was happy: "No need to be polite, just go ahead."

He glanced sideways at the unhappy official next to him. If the prince hadn't been stupid, he might have been worried that the prince would seek to kill his father.

Then there was singing and dancing, and everyone started drinking and eating.

During the banquet, although there are separate seats for men and women, the son can sit next to his father and the daughter can sit next to her mother.

Xining sat next to Mrs. Zhao. According to her status, the position of the Zhenguo General's Mansion was quite close to the front, so she could clearly see the situation in the official's house.

When she looked at the dancer on the middle dance floor, she saw Zhao Chengzong sitting not far away with Duke Rong Guo. He seemed to be looking at the graceful dancer, but he was actually right here.

There was a bit of gloom in his eyes, and when he looked directly into her eyes, he immediately turned his gaze slightly.

This time, there were so many noble people here, and they pretended to have some thoughts about her, which made the people who came think about it, not to mention that there was really something going on between the two of them.

He looks like a human, but actually has the face of a human and the heart of an animal... Xi Ning cursed secretly in his heart.

Mrs. Zhao also noticed it. It was hard to say anything in the palace at this time. It was naturally a good thing for her own woman to be valued by the noble master. But with the Poria cocos incident, there was a gap in my heart. The cabbage that I had finally raised was not allowed to be destroyed by the wolf no matter what.

Although the dishes at the palace banquet were exquisite, I didn't dare to eat and drink recklessly for fear of being laughed at. Especially the young ladies who have not yet left the government, all of them rarely hold chopsticks. When they pick up the chopsticks, they just pick up some and put it in their mouths. I didn't dare to make a sound while eating, as if I was eating preserves instead of vegetables.

Although it was a pity for Xining, but for the sake of the face of the Zhenguo General Mansion, he saw Mrs. Zhao next to her looking over and quickly stopped her chopsticks.

It is simply torture for people who love food to look at the carefully prepared food on the table and not be able to eat it. He can only look elsewhere.

At this banquet, almost everyone was present. Xining took advantage of this moment to take a closer look at the seventh prince, who was the most vocal, and his mother and concubine. The Seventh Prince's still immature face showed some maturity. After a while, several jugglers came up, showing novel expressions. After all, he is still young, and his true colors are revealed.

There is nothing to fault about Concubine Xian, the third prince's mother. On the other hand, the Sichuan brocade on Concubine Cui's body is quite bright in color. If it weren't for the two Xia Pi embroidered with colorful clouds and dragons, which represent the queen's status, this outfit would overwhelm the queen.

Who is Cui Guifei's father? He is the commander of the Southwest Army and controls 100,000 troops. As long as it doesn't go too far, the officials and the queen will turn a blind eye.

Isn’t it strange that Concubine Cui’s father is not dead, but the Zhenguo General’s Mansion is finished?

After the meal, the officials and the queen left first, and everyone knelt to see them off. Then he sat down again, had something to eat and drank, and when the time came to say goodbye, he followed the palace attendants who led the way out of the palace one after another.

Xining supported Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao looked at her with doubts in her eyes, but did not say anything.

After leaving the palace gate, the carriage and horses had been brought in. Nanny Li and Qiuye, who had been waiting for a long time, helped Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao get into the carriage.

Qiuye couldn't help but ask: "Miss, where is the hand stove?"

When I came out this time, I clearly remembered that the young lady brought a hand stove, but why was it missing?

Mrs. Zhao had actually noticed it a long time ago and sat in the carriage looking at her.

Xining sat next to Mrs. Zhao. After sitting down, he wrote lightly: "I forgot it when I went to the toilet, and I didn't have the nerve to go back and get it."

Naturally, you will be nervous when entering the palace for the first time. Grandma Li, who was getting into the car, said: "It seems a bit petty to take it. If it is gone, I will prepare another one."

A hand stove is nothing, I'm just afraid that the lady's hands will be cold. But with Mrs. Zhao and Nanny Li around, Qiuye stopped saying anything and lowered the car door curtain.

There was no need to pay attention to the pomp and ceremony when we got back. Qiuye sat in front of the car and finally didn't have to walk beside the car.

When she arrived at the door of the house, Mrs. Zhao saw Qiuye reaching out to help the young lady, and the cuffs of her cotton-padded coat were bulging. She had just seen her putting her hands in the cuffs. Although the appearance is slightly ugly, it is also to keep the hands warm, so that if the lady's hand is touched, the lady will not be frozen.

Looking at Qiu Ye, whose face was red from the cold, Mrs. Zhao was quite satisfied: "You've worked hard today. I'll go to the accounting office later to get a tael of silver. Take good care of me from now on!"

The first-class maid's monthly payment was only one tael, so she was rewarded with a monthly payment equivalent to one month. Qiuye quickly saluted: "Thank you, madam."

Mrs. Zhao took Xining's hand and gave instructions: "I have asked the kitchen to prepare some food and drink. I will drink some hot soup later. It is best to sweat a little. Get some rest early today."

"Okay, mother!" Xining responded. I saw my father and brother waiting next to me, obviously they had something to say.

"Go." Mrs. Zhao looked at her increasingly well-behaved daughter and liked her more and more. He smiled and let Grandma Li support him, and walked to Beidingyuan.

Xi Ning stepped into Zhu Lan Courtyard. Before he could satisfy the curious maids, General Zhao and Zhao Yingyue arrived.

"Dad, since third brother is here, let's eat together." Xining asked Dongmei to go to the kitchen and bring the food prepared by Mrs. Zhao. He also asked other maids to serve tea and hot water to help him and his father and brother wipe their faces and hands.

Then she said: "Qiuye go to Beidingyuan and tell your wife, the general and the third young master will eat here."

Xining glanced at General Zhao and Zhao Yingyue: "Just say that the general and I will have a casual chat with the third young master."
