Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 346 Thunder Wrath

Undoubtedly, the Tian Family's palace banquet is luxurious and magnificent.

Under the corridor leading to the Jiying Hall, countless exquisite lanterns rotate slowly, making the blooming flowers more beautiful.The fragrant clothes are flickering, and the jewels on the buns are shining, covering their respective thoughts.

Zhao Jinyi followed behind the princess, only daring to look at people from the corner of his eye.

She saw Zhu Huanhuan.

Zhu Huanhuan, who was dressed up, kept a not-so-close distance from Xiong Yao.

Before the nobles came together, the hall was already singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard endlessly.

The singer in the palace, with a graceful figure, danced lightly in the palace, blocking the hatred eyes of the Zhu and Xiong families.

When the crown princess came in, the eyes of Zhu Xiong and his family were obviously attracted.If Wei Qi ascends the throne in the future, this concubine will be the most honorable woman in the Lu Kingdom.

The mood of the Xiong family is somewhat complicated.If the Xiong family has a daughter, they can marry their daughter to Wei Qi.

While the pearl hairpin was shaking, the nobles who were lower in status than the Crown Princess stood up one after another to greet the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess is the granddaughter of the Grand Duke. Although she seldom goes out, she was raised by gold and jade since she was a child, and she is generous to such occasions: "No courtesy."

Zhao Jinyi aimed at Prime Minister Xiong from the corner of his eye.

Prime Minister Xiong looked thoughtfully.

Relying on his daughter's favor, Prime Minister Xiong was able to rise steadily from an official with a low name to a prime minister, he must not be underestimated.What role will Prime Minister Xiong play in tonight's banquet?

Zhao Jinyi lowered his head and arranged the princess's winding skirt, and was about to stand with his head lowered when he caught sight of a familiar woman coming in from the corner of his eye.She wore a emerald green headdress in a bun, wearing a dark blue dress, with lightly drawn willow eyebrows, a little flower tint on her forehead, and the lipstick on her lips was a little too red.

It was Shi Xueer!
Now Shi Xueer, who is already a talented person, followed closely behind two palace servants, gently supporting her.Shi Xue'er's expression concealed a trace of complacency, her belly bulged slightly, and she sat down next to the princess.

Zhao Jinyi looked back.

Empress Zhu came after Shi Xueer.After meeting Empress Zhu for the first time at Zhu's house, Zhao Jinyi felt that Empress Zhu was not out of place in this bustling palace.The dazzling phoenix crown on her head, together with her solemn and beautiful face, are perfectly integrated with this palace.

Everyone bowed down to Queen Zhu one after another.

Anxi's training was fairly effective, and Zhao Jinyi's kneeling movements were flowing like clouds and flowing water.

It turned out that the emperor and empress should have appeared together, but the empress came first, and everyone was not surprised at all.

The Tian family finally made their grand debut with Concubine Xiong.

Tianjia is an elderly man. Although he is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and has a majestic face, he looks a bit like a father and daughter when he is set off by the very young Concubine Xiong next to him.

There was another burst of kneeling and saluting, and Zhao Jinyi felt that if she did it a few more times, it would stretch her muscles and bones.

The silk and bamboo orchestral music stopped, Tianjia opened his mouth, and said a few words kindly: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's a family banquet. Don't hold back, just let go of your stomach to eat and drink!"

As soon as the words were finished, palace servants filed in with gold-painted trays, bringing up delicious dishes one after another.

First, a fish dish was served.

Zhao Jinyi remained calm and exchanged glances with Su Yi who was dressed as An Wen.Yesterday she learned from Anxi that the crown princess is pregnant and is most sensitive to fishy smells.

The Piansheng Tian family paid special attention to the daughter-in-law who got the lottery, and specially said to the Duke: "I heard that when the Crown Princess was young, she liked to eat fish sticks the most, so the imperial concubine specially selected the freshest fish and used the best parts , hired the chef with the fastest knife, and cut it into fish sticks."

The sashimi is extremely thin, and it looks very tempting when placed on ice.

The princess got up and saluted gracefully: "My daughter-in-law thank you for your kindness."

Obviously, the family mentioned that it was the fish chosen by Concubine Xiong, but the Crown Princess did not mention Concubine Xiong.This is clearly the face of Concubine Xiong.

Concubine Xiong still smiled gracefully, and her tone learned to be as kind as Tian's family: "Crown Princess, give it a try."

The princess is still standing, her beautiful eyes drooping: "However, my daughter-in-law is not feeling well recently, and the medical worker told me not to eat fish, shrimp and other hair products. Therefore, my daughter-in-law has not eaten fish for a long time."

Concubine Xiong was surprised: "The Crown Princess is unwell, and no one from the Imperial Medical Bureau reported it. In Tianjia, the Crown Prince is fighting in the north, and the Crown Princess is alone in the East Palace, with no one to care for her. This is the concubine's fault." It looks like a big bag.

Empress Zhu smiled slightly: "My daughter-in-law is unwell, and my concubines have known about it for a long time. It's just a minor ailment, so I will raise it and raise it. Just avoid it, and there is no need to alarm the Tian Family."

Concubine Xiong's expression suddenly became depressed: "For this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the concubine has spent a lot of effort... In order to select this fish, the concubine's fingernails are broken."

But the princess is not feeling well, and she said that she can't eat fish, shrimp and other hair, so she can't be forced to eat.The Duke is still there.The face of the prince may not be given, but the face of the Duke of the country must be given.

Tianjia did not make a sound.

Another soup was served, but it was made of fish balls.

Concubine Xiong was apologetic: "It's not my concubine's fault. Most of this palace banquet is made of fish. Just because my concubine heard that due to the war, the treasury was tight, so I thought, this palace banquet, It can't be too luxurious."

Prime Minister Xiong said: "It's hard to say, the imperial concubine has worked so hard, and the old minister's family is very grateful."

Zhao Jinyi closed his eyes.If you really have the heart to save, you don't have to hold this palace banquet.

Just thinking about it, the Duke said: "Since we want to save money, we don't have to hold this palace banquet. Wouldn't everyone be happy to reward the soldiers guarding the border with this money?"

The Duke of the State was originally a general guarding the border, but he returned to the capital because of old age and lack of physical strength.

The face of Tianjia was a little ugly.It was his fault that he set up this palace banquet.Didn't he just think that the crown prince just got married, and the crown prince went to war and didn't come back for several months, and the crown princess couldn't go back to her mother's house on the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, so he held this palace banquet and invited the prince to let them two People reunite, but kindness becomes the liver and lungs of donkeys.

Concubine Xiong hurriedly comforted him: "Master Guo didn't mean that." Although there was comfort on the surface, there was a bit of aggrieved expression on his face.

The Duke of Piansheng was still careless: "The old minister never speaks obliquely, that's what the old minister means."

After a pause, the Duke of the State said again, "The bright hall is burned down, but the Tian family still has to waste money and money to rebuild the Ming hall. The veteran thinks it is inappropriate. The Tian family may as well allocate the money for the construction of the Ming hall to the Ministry of War. Seeing The cold winter in the north is approaching, and the clothes for the soldiers to keep out the cold are far from enough."

Tian's family suppressed their anger: "The bright hall is the embodiment of our country's peace and prosperity..." Besides, in order to save costs, he has already reluctantly made concessions and used bricks instead.

The Duke of the State disagreed: "There is no danger at the border, so that the country of Lu can be safe and peaceful. The Tian family built this Mingtang, besides climbing the heights on the first day, and celebrating with the people, what is the use? Burn down the hall."

Tianjia's face sank.

The Duke of the State is open-minded, and he insists on mentioning these unpleasant things during the full moon night here.

It was still Prime Minister Xiong's way of smoothing things over: "Grandpa Guo is just concerned about the country and the people. Don't you also like to go to teahouses to listen to operas on weekdays, and when you hear the rise, you will reward those actors! According to Master Guo , it’s better to donate all the money from rewarding actors to the soldiers on the border.”

The Duke jumped up angrily, pointed at Prime Minister Xiong and cursed: "Aren't those actors also citizens of my country of Lu, the old man is just rewarding some money, you old man won't allow it?"

The Tian family slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Chen Sanfu, I have never realized that you have complained so much to me before! You are relying on your granddaughter to become the princess, so you are unscrupulous!"

Tian Family's thunder was furious, and the palace people knelt down one after another: "Tian Family, calm down!"

I can't hold back my anger.

The Tian family turned their anger on the crown princess again: "The fish that the imperial concubine specially selected for you, you put on airs and refuse to eat it, this is to make me lose face!"
