After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 495
Xiao Jingheng said that the imperial concubine's crown and concubine's dress was tattered.

Well, compared with his newly made body, it does look a bit tattered.

He felt that even the most gorgeous neon clothes in the world were not worthy of his beautiful and beautiful wife.

Shangguanjing felt that it was too wasteful for him to toss around and spend his mind on such trivial details, but Xiao Jingheng didn't know how to reflect on it at all.He even managed to convince his precious wife with just one sentence.

"If you don't dress gorgeously, how can you look extravagant?" He said, "If you're not extravagant, why would you act like an official?"

Makes sense ha!Shangguan Jing closed his mouth.

She glanced up and down at Xiao Jingheng who had also changed into a new dress, and asked, "Then why are you making new clothes? You don't need to be extravagant. Can't you wear the crown prince's crown bestowed by your father?"

"I'm Jing'er's decoration," Xiao Jingheng said confidently, "Of course I have to dress up as you like."

It means you have to wear couple clothes.Shangguan Jing glanced at Xiao Jingheng's crown suit in matching color and style, then at the pattern of rose branches and leaves on the hem of his clothes, and decided to ignore him.This person has this kind of style in his daily life, and he can't wait to make a note with the words "Shangguanjing's husband" on his face.

The day of the palace banquet was set on the [-]th and [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the empress dowager, who was busy fighting with the queen, took time to make another round of inspection.

Xiao Jingheng didn't intend to let the empress dowager have another incident, so everything was arranged properly, so after the empress dowager came, she just walked around the Chongzheng Hall, looked at the seating arrangements, listened to the rehearsal by the musicians, and checked again After looking at the dishes of the palace banquet, I went back.

Early in the morning on the [-]th, Xiao Jingheng was going to court as usual.After the court was over, he went to the posthouse accompanied by the Minister of Rites, while the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Rites arrived at the East Palace early. He Lingjun, He Lingyao and the eldest princess Xiao Mingrui also arrived early to help Shangguanjing arrange the palace banquet. various details.

In the afternoon, the envoys from the post house hadn't arrived yet, but the accompanying guests had already begun to arrive one after another.Xiao Mingrui took He Lingyao to the palace, intending to pick up the Queen Mother himself.

On the other hand, Shangguanjing sent Qingmei, Xuemei, Deng Wenshao, Zhu Chengliang and officials from the Ministry of Rites to watch the stall outside, and then went back to Lizheng Hall to change clothes and make up.

Xiao Jingheng also came back soon. He was thinking about helping his wife dress up, so he ran back very actively.

Shen Zheng, the guests for the banquet have almost arrived, and the last one to arrive is indeed Prime Minister Chen.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the Jiafu Gate to welcome the guests, while the Minister of the Ministry of Rites accompanied the envoys from various countries to appear outside the gate of the East Palace.

Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng didn't care about such things as welcoming guests. The young couple dressed neatly and accompanied the empress dowager to rest in the side hall of the Chongzheng Hall.

The process is well drilled, nothing unusual.

Most of these envoys who came to participate in the banquet were not the first time to go to Dazhou, and they were very familiar with such palace banquets, and they all took it easy.

As for the palace banquet, the procedure is similar with minor differences, it's just a cutscene.If there is any difference between this palace banquet and the previous ones, it is that the palace banquet hosted by the crown prince and princess was really "flashy". They invited so many young beauties from the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made a group of old tribute envoys feel a little dazzled.

Even the eldest prince of Xiliang is quite satisfied with this arrangement, at least it is not boring if there are more beauties.Sitting here upright, it's hard enough to keep presenting and greeting according to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who likes to watch those stereotyped rituals and music? It's better to take the time to look at the beautiful women.

When the prince and concubine accompanied the empress dowager to enter the arena, the envoys, who were chatting with the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty while turning their eyes to see the beauty for "pastime", immediately fell silent.

The tea cup that the First Prince of Xiliang was holding in his hand accidentally slipped and fell on the table, but it was not broken, but the tea bowl was overturned, and the residual tea accidentally dripped onto him.

The inner eunuch standing beside him quickly came up to tidy up, but the First Prince of Xiliang seemed to have not noticed anyone approaching, and was still staring blankly at the direction of the master.

In fact, not only him, but also the rest of the Sui Gong envoys, and most of the Da Zhou officials present seemed to be stunned for a moment.

They were all staring blankly in the direction of the main seat, to be precise, they were looking at the Crown Princess.

The world has many beautiful words to praise women, but until now, seeing the concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many talented scholars who are full of poems and books in the room feel that they are at a loss for words.After much deliberation, only "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" can slightly express the appearance of the Crown Princess.

Shangguanjing is not the only beauty who can be called national beauty in history, but everyone present has no doubt that before Shangguanjing, the term "national beauty and heavenly fragrance" was abused.

Except for the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who dares to be called a national beauty?
As for the officials and wives who intend to send their daughters into the East Palace, their hearts sank.Although Israel didn't serve people for a long time, but the crown princess was so beautiful that it was difficult for the crown prince to tolerate other people.

How dare the brilliance of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon.They looked at their own girls, and couldn't even say "each has its own style" to comfort her.

But the young girls present had a different idea from the elders in the family. They were also staring blankly at the main seat, their cheeks gradually stained with clouds.What they saw in their eyes was not the princess in full attire, but the tall and straight figure standing beside the empress dowager, who was as cold as jade.

Such an incomparably handsome prince, on the contrary, made several of them have a strong fighting spirit, and some people even started planning how to win step by step after entering the East Palace in the future, so as to win the prince's heart.

If such a gentleman like jade can attach his heart to himself, it would be very gratifying to think about it.

Xiao Jingheng glanced at the expressions of the people present, and already had an idea in his heart.He and Shangguanjing looked at each other, and the young couple raised their wine glasses first.

"Grandmother," Xiao Jingheng respectfully saluted the empress dowager in the middle, giving the old lady enough face: "Please toast."

In the past, at palace banquets, the emperor would be the first to toast, but at the East Palace banquet, the crown prince gave the empress dowager such a big face, can the old lady feel comfortable?She is the successor of a favored concubine who became queen mother just two days after becoming queen, and has never presided over a palace banquet of this scale.

She raised her wine glass high, feeling that she had been living in Shou'an Palace for many years, watching her daughter-in-law's power-holding depression disappear, her chest suddenly filled with pride, and even the wrinkles on her face seemed to stretch a little.

That's right!She is the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, the most honorable person in the entire Great Zhou, in fact, it should be her!Even the emperor respected her mother-in-law very much. As her daughter-in-law, why should Empress Chen overwhelm her?
Xiao Jingheng raised his head and glanced at the empress dowager's almost smug expression, raised his glass to cover the sneer on his lips.

　---Here is the dividing line where the palace banquet finally begins--
　　You can guess what bad idea this young couple is going to come up with.

　　In short, let the empress dowager be exalted first, and let her be addicted to power.
