"Naturally, it's not just that. It's boring for us to be idle. Today, when talented girls come here, we will definitely have to show off. Then we will have a lot of good-looking songs and dances to watch, isn't it good?" Ji Yun smiled road.
Xianyun smiled and said, "This is a good idea. Poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. look good, but it's people's hearts that look even better."
"Yes." Qin Yining nodded with a smile.
Today’s banquet, who is willing to come and who is unwilling to come, who is close to whom, and who is incompatible with whom, can all be observed.
Now that the court situation is in front of you, Pang Xiao's people are entrenched in the south, and naturally they have to find a way to stabilize the local situation. Later, there is a chance to make her happy and help Pang Xiao to check, why not do it
"Princess, everyone outside has gone to find their own seats. I'm afraid the pergola we set up is not enough." Qiu Lu quickly stepped in and talked back and forth.
Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "It's too late to set up a temporary pergola, so let's add some seats outside."
"But the order of seats..."
"We don't need to worry about this." Qin Yining explained, "These local magnates and officials should all be familiar with each other, and the seats will naturally be arranged. Let them sit by themselves, rather than our arrangement. It's much better to get up and avoid bumping into people inadvertently."
"What the princess said is." Qiu Lu suddenly realized and went down to make arrangements.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qin Yining asked the Master to go out.
Changchun Garden has been rebuilt, and a lot of flowers and trees have been transplanted. The original ornate buildings are even more magnificent under the shadow of new flowers and trees.
Qin Yining walked through the flowers and trees with her maid in plain clothes, and soon came to the venue for the banquet.
Although many local people did not recognize Qin Yining, this did not prevent them from inquiring about Qin Yining's details before coming.
When they saw the people dressed in plain and elegant clothes, the voices of the men and women who were present were all silent.
Those who have had a few encounters with Qin Yining stepped forward with a smile.
"I have seen the princess."
"Princess, long time no see."
…
Qin Yining greeted these people with a smile, only that they were not well entertained, and invited everyone to feel free.
At this time, the Yao family, Ma family and Yao Chenggu came from the main gate, accompanied by the family members of the palace.
As soon as Yao Chenggu entered the door, he was surrounded by male guests and politely greeted him.
Yao shi supported Ma shi, followed by Pan Keyu, and walked to Qin Yining's side amid the greetings of the female relatives.
Qin Yining smiled and saluted: "Grandma, old lady."
"Ai." Ma Shi smiled and nodded.
Yao Shi was dressed in a rose-red robe with narrow sleeves and a round neck, with a phoenix mouth holding a bead on her head, and she was very luxurious. Seeing Qin Yining dressed so quietly, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Such a festive scene, You also need snacks to dress up. Don’t fall for the prestige of the palace. If someone says that the palace can’t even afford a good dress, wouldn’t Dafu be wronged?”
A few steps away from the surroundings, there were many guests attending the meeting, and they could not help but prick up their ears to hear the excitement.
It seems that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the palace is not good!
Seeing that Yao Shi was so embarrassing to Qin Yining regardless of the occasion, Ma was displeased, and smiled and took Qin Yining's hand, looked her up and down, and said, "This body is very elegant, and the material is also Su embroidery?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Yes."
The smile on Yao shi's face froze. He had just ridiculed others for being careless and shabby, but he was refuted on the spot. Yao shi only felt his ears warm up.
Ma said with a smile: "Our sister Yi was born well, and whatever she wears is fine."
The people around were still talking about it, but they all restrained at this time. The Queen's wife is said to be a sturdy person. It seems that the relationship between the princess and the wife is very good.
Pan Keyu's beautiful eyes were also squinting at Qin Yining at this time, her eyes were too flexible and too contemptuous for Qin Yining to ignore.
Qin Yining glanced at Pan Keyu, and when his eyes fell on the powder blue Shu brocade material on Pan Keyu's body, he lowered his head as if he was ashamed.
Pan Keyu's heart moved, and she couldn't hide her pride. She said with a smile: "The princess is still in the period of filial piety, so it's normal to wear plain clothes. Don't blame her, old lady."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet.
They have long heard that "Zhi Pan'an" lost his life by smashing the sage's errand, and the sage would be gracious if he didn't punish him. It is reasonable to say that his father has just died, and his daughter will hold a banquet in a big way. This is absolutely Unreasonable.
People in the country value filial piety, and it is really rare to find people who can still have fun during the period of filial piety.
Ma frowned and glared at Pan Keyu displeased.
Yao Shi was in a better mood.
Just as he was about to stab Qin Yining, Qin Yining said first: "If it wasn't for the lord's business, there would be no such banquet today. To be honest, I wouldn't stay for long. I only saw the key points and left. The wife always needs to be considerate, and I think my father has a spirit in heaven, and he must be able to understand. As for the hospitality, after everything is done, the old lady will have to worry more. "
Saying that, he bowed respectfully.
Ma was afraid that Yao's nonsense would smear Qin Yining, so he hurriedly said: "Good boy, I really wronged you. Hey, there is a saying that a man's family handles affairs, and there is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. It is difficult to be a man, and it is even more difficult to be a woman. , I have to take care of my mother's family, and I have to take care of our family, it really hurts you."
Many female relatives were moved when they heard the words, especially those noble ladies who were married and in charge of the family.
This world has too strict requirements on women, the rules are set by men, and it is always women who are wronged. Looking at the relationship between the princess and her mother-in-law, if it wasn't for her mother-in-law's urgency, I'm afraid she wouldn't have to hold a banquet to choose a concubine for her husband during the period of filial piety, right
Everyone felt more empathy for Qin Yining.
Yao shi rolled her eyes, and she was very unhappy when she failed to stab Qin Yining in front of everyone.
"Princess, Boss Qiu is here." Qiu Lu replied in Qin Yining's ear.
Qin Yining looked back and said, "You bring someone to greet her. She is heavy, so be careful not to let anyone bump into her."
"Yes." Qiu Lu responded and took two little girls to greet him.
At this time, those noble ladies who were interested in marrying the Pang family brought their daughters, nieces and the like to come forward to chat.
When Ma saw the people in the circle, he felt that his head was as big as a bucket. There were so many Yingying and Yanyan, all of them were beautiful like flower bones, and they were very carefully dressed. Beauty, isn't this a trick
Ma was suddenly a little uneasy, pulled Qin Yining, who was chatting with others, to the side, and said in a low voice, "Girl Yi, why do I feel that things are not going well? You said that this is what happened when the sage enriched the beauty pageant in the harem?"
Qin Yining nodded approvingly: "Grandma, you are sharp and discerning, I have thought of this, but don't worry, things won't develop like that."
Seeing that Qin Yining was so confident, Mrs. Ma was sure that she would not overstep the limits, so she could not help but let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, Yi girl, you are the most reliable in your work, you can arrange it."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded.
"Prince is well." At this time, Qiu Feishan walked to Qin Yining under the support of Qiu Lu and others.
She was wearing an ivory-white chest-length skirt, her belly was raised high, her heroic face was much softer now, and her smile was gentle.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Mrs. Mu doesn't need to be polite. There are many people here. Let's go and sit."
Qiu Feishan smiled and nodded while supporting her slightly sore waist with one hand.
Pan Keyu was introducing her parents to the Yao family at this time.
Pan's father and Pan's mother are both well-rounded people in the business field. A few words have brought Yao's relationship closer, and they understated that they had arranged for someone to send a generous gift to the door, and Yao's happy mouth could not be closed. Praise Pan Keyu repeatedly.
Pan's father and Pan's mother were delighted, but felt that the alliance with Pang Xiao seemed to be about to come to an end.
Pan Keyu was even more proud. She is young and beautiful, the prince likes her in his heart, and the princess is not welcome by the old lady, but the old lady likes her very much.
In the future after entering the palace, Pan Keyu only felt full of hope.
The smile on her face became more and more confident, her back was straight, her chin was slightly raised, and her whole person exuded an unprecedented brilliance.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Yining talking to Qiu Feishan, and immediately poked Father Pan's arm.
Father Pan saw Qiu Feishan and laughed mockingly. First, I cupped hands with Yao Shi and said, "Old Madam, the old man will retire first."
Yao shi had to deal with the flattery of many people, so naturally he didn't have the time to be in any one of them, so he just waved his hand.
Father Pan took his wife and daughter to Qin Yining's front, and said respectfully, "Prince is well, the old man Pan Zhensheng, this is the cheap Xu family, this is the little girl Keyu, please pay your respects to the princess."
Pan Keyu reluctantly followed her parents to salute Qin Yining.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "No gift. Shopkeeper Pan is willing to take the time to come, so you must have a good time. Just in time, the owner of your four-way number is also there." He turned slightly sideways, indicating that Qiu Feishan was there. around yourself.
Originally, when the Qiu family was still a complete family, the Sitong number was only one of the Qiu family's many industries, and Qiu Feishan was naturally just the big shopkeeper of the Sitong number. But now that the Qiu family is split, the Sitong number is owned by Qiu Feishan, and Qiu Feishan is naturally the owner of the Sitong number.
Father Pan frowned upon hearing this.
He is a big shopkeeper of Sitong, but Qiu Feishan is his owner.
Pan Zhensheng is not willing to be subordinated to others, especially Qiu Feishan is still a bitch!
Pan Zhensheng had long been against his will, when would he take Qiu Feishan down and become the owner of the Sitong number himself. That's why he sought out Prince Zhongshun as his backing.
Now that I met the princess, the princess first mentioned that he was Qiu Feishan's subordinate. Isn't this making him shameless
Pan Zhensheng was displeased and didn't dare to offend Qin Yining, so he turned to Qiu Feishan and said, "Oh? It turns out that the eldest lady is also there. The eldest lady is not in good health now, so it's better not to walk around, in case the baby moves. The anger hurts the fetus, I'm afraid it's too late for you to regret it."
