Chapter 427 The banquet list for doing things
"Originally, I was afraid of disturbing the imperial grandmother." Shangguan Jing also said with a smile what the empress dowager loved to hear: "If I knew it earlier, my granddaughter-in-law must have the cheek to come over for breakfast."

"With you here, I'm afraid I'll have a better appetite." The Empress Dowager smiled, and took the initiative to mention the matter of Master Yang: "The Ai family already knew what happened yesterday. The Ai family is only a younger brother. Be honest. He only knows how to do errands with his head bored, and he doesn't care about the world's sophistication. Therefore, even though he is the younger brother of the Ai family, he has not been able to get promoted all these years. It is thanks to your father this time that he survived to this age. Only the willows and flowers will shine. The Ai family wants to thank your father!"

"Isn't it because the imperial grandmother has always been self-denying and devoted to public affairs, and has extremely strict requirements on her relatives." Shangguanjing replied with a smile: "The imperial grandmother has been in the palace for so many years, and she is only thinking about the father and the court. How can she think about fighting for the mother family?" What. Mr. Yang is not young. He has worked hard in the court for so many years, and has never made a big mistake. Logically, he should have a decent position. These princes have always been in the eyes, and he felt wronged for the emperor's grandmother. , so I asked my father to submit a memorial to recommend Master Yang."

Shangguanjing's flattery was basically pure nonsense, but the empress dowager loved it!
Her main purpose is actually to point out that her father's credit is not all due to this, the crown prince is responsible for most of it.

However, I didn't expect the empress dowager to be really thick-skinned, and she agreed with her words very much.

The old lady immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly: "You are still filial! The Ai family didn't want him to be too public."

"The imperial grandmother's words are wrong." Shangguan Jing smiled, and the lie came out of her mouth without any drafting: "The position of the imperial scholar has been vacant for many years, right? In fact, a few of them are at the front Anyone can be an important minister, but my father never said so. The position is too important, and my father would rather leave it empty than arrange someone casually. Not to mention, Master Yang is my father's uncle. , this Hanlin scholar can afford the important task of entrusting the order. Of course, such an important position should be held by blood relatives, so that people can feel more at ease. Think about it, the emperor's grandmother, who else can afford it except Master Yang?"

"There is some truth in what you say." The Empress Dowager nodded: "That's right. For such an important position, it is better to find someone you can trust. Who doesn't have a small plan in this civil and military dynasty? It is the Ai family who is a mother-in-law who is so wholeheartedly planning for the emperor."

"So why don't you thank the emperor's grandmother?" Shangguan replied with a smile: "Your Excellency Yang has been promoted to a Bachelor of Baowen Pavilion and a Bachelor of Imperial Academy to accept the decree. , I was supposed to recommend talented people for my father, Lord Yang is a blood relative, this is what a prince should do, and my father just did what he should do."

"It's still you who are filial and sensible." The empress dowager replied with a smile: "Ever since you young couple entered the palace, the Ai family really felt that these days are more prosperous than before."

That is!Shangguanjing secretly slandered, given the chance to seize power, wouldn't it be a lot of money!

However, although she was disdainful in her heart, as a responsible dramatist, Shangguanjing certainly didn't have a bad personality on the surface. She smiled affectionately at the empress dowager, like a granddaughter who was acting like a baby: "Grandmother, grandson!" The daughter-in-law is here today because she actually wants to ask the imperial grandmother for help, if you praise grandson-in-law like this, grandson-in-law is too embarrassed to speak up!"

"What? You have something to do today, so let me hear it?" Although the empress dowager looked gentle and calm on the surface, she still smiled amiably at Shangguanjing, but she looked at Shangguanjing with a little bit of vigilance in her eyes.

But, the younger brother was promoted, and the princess came to repay him, which was actually expected by the empress dowager.It's all an exchange of benefits, nothing unusual, the old lady has already made up her mind, as long as Shangguan Jing's request is not too embarrassing, she will agree to it straight away, which can be regarded as a reward for Wu Dinghou's recommendation this time.

However, the Empress Dowager did not expect that the Crown Princess did not come to collect debts, but offered her another big gift.

"Grandmother, this is the grand-daughter-in-law's pre-drawn invitation list for the palace banquet," Shangguanjing said with a charming smile, and took out the list carefully finalized by Xiao Jingheng and handed it over: "Granddaughter-in-law has no experience, who should be invited here?" , it’s better for the emperor’s grandmother to teach the granddaughter-in-law, so it’s up to you to decide.”

"Oh?" Shangguanjing immediately noticed that the empress dowager felt relieved, which was visible to the naked eye. She reached out and took the name card from Shangguanjing, opened it, and said with a smile: "Who are you going to invite? Come and see."

"Here is just the list of clan relatives, courtiers and wives," Shangguan Jing said with a cute smile on the empress dowager's face. The queen mother hosts the palace banquet, accompanied by concubines from the harem. This year, the prince and granddaughter-in-law will host the palace banquet. The two of us have made up our minds. We would like to invite the imperial grandmother to sit in the middle of the chairman, and the prince and granddaughter-in-law will accompany you on the left and right. Come to the table, so whether you want to invite the concubines of the harem to attend... is still up to the emperor's grandmother to decide."

Of course the Empress Dowager understands what this means.Let her, the empress dowager, sit in the middle of the chairman, even if the lord of the six palaces, Empress Chen, would have no place to stay even if she wanted to go.

This is very kind to the empress dowager!
"Don't disturb the Sixth Palace." The Empress Dowager raised her head and ordered calmly: "The palace banquet is held in the East Palace, not in the Zichen Palace like in previous years. It's inconvenient for the concubines in the harem to go, let's talk about it." If the emperor won't go, what are they going to do? It's enough to have a prince, a concubine, plus important ministers and wives."

"Yes!" Shangguan Jing nodded obediently, as if she listened to what the empress dowager said, which made the empress dowager couldn't be more satisfied.

In front of Shangguan Jing, the empress dowager immediately unfolded the list she had brought over.After browsing through it in a hurry, the corners of the old lady's mouth could hardly be controlled, and she wanted to turn up all the time.

Especially when she saw that her brother's name was also listed, the Empress Dowager couldn't help being elated.

But it still needs to be installed.

The Empress Dowager clicked on Mr. Yang's name, and said indifferently, "Don't let him go! You have only been promoted to the third rank, and you have never participated in such a high-level palace banquet. If you go, you may attract attention."

"But..." Shangguan Jing opened his eyes wide, and replied honestly: "His Royal Highness specially told his granddaughter-in-law to add Master Yang to the list!"

　---Here is the dividing line for getting cheap and selling well--
　　That's right, even if it's obvious that it's cheap, the old lady still has to act. After all, she is "selfless", and she only cares about the royal family, and she has never been selfless! !
