The world is heavy and late

Chapter 312 Going to the Banquet ([-])

Xia Qing liked Princess Anyang's curious eyes, and her hands were still itchy. There were too few cute people around her.

Only Jing Ning and the prince could let her pinch quietly when they were young, and the next one should be Wu Xiaoyuan.

Sometimes it's really strange, obviously when she was in the capital, she didn't think of Wu Xiaoyuan for many things, but since she came to Yizhou, she seemed to think of her no matter what she did.

Anyang watched Xia Qing's smile slowly become lonely and nostalgic, thinking that he would hear a poignant love story, after all, such sad and reminiscing eyes should be a soul-stirring past event.

Who knew that what he heard were two very simple sentences, which were far less exciting than the stories Xia Qing told in the past.

"My concubine and Mr. Xu are old acquaintances. He saved my life, and I have a happy relationship with him."

Anyang didn't hear the story he really wanted to hear, and was about to continue asking, Princess An had already cut off Anyang's words.

"That's really a good relationship. The most commendable thing in the world is that these two love each other."

Xia Qing smiled back and praised: "There are moments of estrangement between two lovers, and it's rare to respect each other like a lady."

Concubine An covered her lips and smiled, and said to Mrs. Chen, "It seems that we are envious of being as persistent as Ah Ling."

The host has not forgotten anyone, and the guests are also very supportive. Mrs. Chen gently pursed her lips and said, "His Royal Highness will be more blessed in the future."

Princess Anyang didn't seem very happy. She also reached the age of seeing each other this year. Princess An also saw the young masters of several families one after another, but she didn't like them very much.

Boringly, his fingers twirled the belt under the table quietly, wanting to say something, but he seemed to be hesitant to say anything, and just sat quietly on the side.

Xia Qing looked at all the people present, and found interestingly that Princess Anyang was obviously much older than when she entered Beijing, but she was not as calm as before, and even more lively.

Xia Qing felt somewhat emotional, Anyang was already a princess, how many people in the world could surpass her status?

But she was still shackled all the time, she couldn't say what she wanted to say, she didn't dare to say it, she couldn't do rude things, she didn't dare to do it.

However, he is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, full of countless fantasies and expectations for the whole life in his heart, and even has the courage to conquer fate. Everyone's eyes slowly vented their dissatisfaction.

Xia Qing didn't know what to say or do, she didn't even know whether to be sad or happy.

I am saddened that the world values ​​others' opinions, but I am still happy. It turns out that this girl still has her own active mind, and she has not completely become a clan wife like Princess An, who lives her whole life for others' evaluation.

They are top-notch in terms of material enjoyment, and they are not lacking in spiritual enjoyment, but they are just a little less agile.

Xia Qing's thoughts started to fly again, it has always been like this, she always seems to be able to emanate many things from one thing.

"Is the queen all right?"

Xia Qing froze for a second and blinked, not letting anyone notice, except Anyang who was secretly paying attention to Xia Qing.

"When the concubine leaves the palace, everything is fine for the empress."

Princess An also knew about Xia Qing's departure from the palace. After all, Xia Qing deliberately made a big fuss, and the world sometimes paid more attention to the queen and prince than the emperor.

There is no way, these two people can see that there is a place to listen to the story.

Concubine An nodded and said, "Isn't it time to select female officials again this year?"

When this matter was mentioned, everyone was obviously very interested. Even Mrs. Chen raised her head and looked at Xia Qing. Xia Qing nodded and said, "Yes, September should have started."

"It's been more than August now, isn't it possible that Mrs. Xu can't go back?"

It was Mrs. Chen who asked the question. As soon as she spoke, she knew that she knew a lot about female officials. Xia Qing already understood from the lowered eyes that the relationship between Mrs. Chen and Princess An was probably really good.

After all, the only person who can tell Mrs. Chen about this matter in such detail is Princess An.

"There are many capable people around the empress, and the concubine has already left the palace, so now she doesn't care about the affairs of the palace."

Concubine An and Mrs. Chen looked at each other. Concubine An really wanted to find out why Xia Qing came to Yizhou, but Xia Qing didn't follow up after saying that she was looking for an old friend.

Fortunately, Princess An is good at dancing, Xia Qing and Mrs. Chen also cooperated well, plus Anyang who couldn't help but want to speak out from time to time, the meeting went on without embarrassment.

The atmosphere in the backyard is thoughtful and elegant, and the front yard is typically rich and lavish.

The lights are bright, not just inside the hall, but also outside the hall. Ten steps away, a lantern is hung on a tree, and the open space is hung on a high-rise wire. Almost as soon as night fell, a group of servants began to light the lamps.

The inside of the hall is even more terrifying. The gilded oil lamp posts are all filled with luminous pearls, but they are not used for lighting, just to show the taste and style of this hall.

Not to mention the carpets, wine tables, beauties, and even the two coral rockery.

In short, in the Jin Dynasty, the imperial palace was the most noble place but not the richest place, and Prince An's Mansion was.

There were so many bright colors that Xu Zhongcai felt his eyes hurt when he entered the hall.

Since the erection of the monument, King An's show off has not stopped at all. Anyway, the emperor has come to see it, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

Xu Zhong could understand why the emperor had to waste money on King An's money to build the official school. It was really unbalanced. He was an emperor who was exhausted. Daming Palace is still a vast area of ​​weeds, and it has hardly been repaired.

But not to mention the many other courtyards of King An, even Prince An's mansion is more magnificent than the imperial palace, who can bear it?
The emperor didn't doubt that King An rebelled, because King An really didn't mean that himself, and the emperor was generous enough.

After Xu Zhong took a glance at the main hall, he no longer admired King An's taste, but sat quietly on the lower right hand. The first place on the lower left was King An's eldest son, followed by two sons who were born in the first place. The next is the official of the palace, and the next is Mr. Chen.

This ranking is actually very interesting. Wang An is sitting, and the No.1 to start is not the prince, but Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhong also shied away when he saw the seat, but what kind of temperament is Wang An?Can listen to Xu Zhong's words, and the current son is quite like his father, of course, whether it is personality or... hobbies.

Wang An looked at the dancing beauties in the hall, then looked at Xu Zhong, who was not very concerned, raised his eyebrows with some interest and said, "I also said that you are not lustful, why do you want to marry a wife again? "

Xu Zhong's eyes never stayed on the coolly dressed dancer girl from beginning to end, not because he was afraid of Xia Qing's anger, but because of his own life principles, do not see evil.

Xu Zhong replied: "My lord is just joking, this official has already married his wife."

The implication is not that he is not a lewd person, Wang An smiled: "I don't know that Mr. Xu has such a taste, you should have told me earlier, this king will give all these beauties to Mr. Xu."

Everyone in the hall laughed and joked about Xu Zhong's good fortune.

That's right, King An is a prince who loves to send beauties, and he wanted to send them to the emperor at that time, but unfortunately, the emperor didn't like other people because of the pearls and jade.
