Chapter 144 The Palace Banquet Begins

"As the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law thinks that the relationship between brothers and lords is not as close as that of in-laws?" Qin Wangfei Mu also asked, "So the eldest sister-in-law thinks so?"

"The eldest sister-in-law usually claims to be the eldest sister-in-law, but she always puts on the posture of the eldest sister-in-law to us. Unexpectedly, she thinks so in the heart of the eldest sister-in-law." Princess Wang of Shu Also echoed a saying.

"Brother Da Huang thinks so, does Da Huang know?" Princess Wei Li also asked.

Concubine Chu's concubine Zhou panicked. If these sisters-in-law spread the word, she would definitely be reprimanded by Emperor Yun Zhao and Empress Mu, and even her mother-in-law Zhou Guifei would reprimand her.

Although Concubine Zhou of Chu and Concubine Zhou are aunts and nephews, they are now more like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.When you are an aunt and nephew, you have a good relationship, but as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there are absolutely few who can get along like mother and daughter. Some mothers and daughters will be tit-for-tat and want to kill each other, let alone mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Concubine Zhou Gui was not so kind and kind when facing Princess Chu. If Princess Chu did something wrong, she would be merciless in teaching her a lesson.

Concubine Chu didn't want to face the reprimand from the emperor, empress and her concubine's mother-in-law, so she quickly explained that she didn't think so.

The other people became lively and chaotic. After listening to it, Chen Ju smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that the sisters-in-law were not so harmonious.

As the son of a noble concubine and the eldest son of Emperor Yunzhao, the King of Chu has a very high status.The mother is more expensive according to the son, and the son is more expensive according to the mother. This mother and son have been very favored and status in the past 30 years.

And Princess Chu Zhou was born in the same family as Concubine Zhou. She has an aunt of the concubine who married the eldest son of the emperor. Isn't she just putting on a high profile?

These years are really too ostentatious, so that the younger siblings who are not badly born are not pleasing to the eye. Of course, the Mu family, who is the concubine of the queen's son King Qin, also can't understand her.

Now that there is an opportunity to taunt Princess Chu, of course the several concubines would not miss it, and taunted her one by one.

Seeing her current appearance, Chen Ju felt relieved. Of course, she didn't intend to let Princess Chu go just like this. She could hear the other party's taunting her clearly.

Today is a palace banquet, and the bigwigs in the palace, as well as the princes, princesses and concubines, are all here, as are the clan and ministers, so there is no need for her to make a fuss to make people laugh.

This is the first New Year for her to marry into the royal family. There is no need for her to make trouble at this time, and it will not be good for her future development.

Hearing the movement of the older concubines in front, Princess Qi glanced at it and said, "Are the sisters-in-law arguing again?"

Princess Qi glanced at Princess Qin. Although King Qi was naturally on the side of King Qin, Princess Qi didn't like Princess Qin. Even if their husbands were the sons of the queen, she didn't want to be with this prince. Sisters-in-law are close.

After hearing the commotion here, she moved to Chen Ju's side and said, "It must be the eldest sister-in-law and the fifth emperor's wife who are arguing again."

"They, as long as they get together, they can't help but say some unpleasant things, and they start arguing." Princess Qi wrinkled her nose and said.

Although she has just married into Prince Qi's mansion for less than two years, she has come to understand the character of these princesses after getting in touch with them.

Although she has a carefree personality, it doesn't mean she has no brains, she doesn't want to show off and be targeted.

"Let me tell you, Sister-in-law Nine, the relationship between Sister-in-Law and Sister-in-law is very bad, but the one with the worst relationship with Sister-in-law is actually Sister-in-law Fifth..." Princess Qi gossiped.

Princess Chu and Princess Han are the eldest son-in-law of the emperor, and the second daughter-in-law of the emperor. They entered the house at about the same time, and of course there were many conflicts after a long time.

As for Princess Chu and Princess Qin, one is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the emperor, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the first-born son of the prince, so they are even more pointed.

That is to say, these people have good acting skills and behave in a graceful manner, and it is impossible to see how much they want to kill each other.

"Sister-in-law ten..." Princess Zhongshan and Princess Changshan went to Princess Qi to gossip, while Chen Ju shut up and just listened quietly.

She didn't know much about Yan's royal family, and it took only more than a month to less than two months to marry into Prince Ning's mansion, so she should quietly listen to the gossip and analyze the news.

Of course, Princess Qi and the others are also very measured when they gossip, and they will not reveal any shocking news, she is just listening to the joy.

"Your Majesty is here—"

"The empress is here—"

"The Empress Dowager has arrived—"

"Concubine Zhou arrived—"

"Concubine Yun has arrived—"

When the banquet was about to start, following the eunuch's loud voice, Emperor Yunzhao entered the venue with the empress dowager, empress and two noble concubines.

The other high-ranking concubines entered the arena first, and everyone stood up when they heard the voice, bowed in the direction of the main seat and shouted in unison——

"Congratulations, Your Majesty—"

"Welcome to the Empress Dowager—"

"Welcome to the Empress—"

There were quite a lot of people attending the banquet today, and the voice of shouting in unison was really loud. Chen Ju thought that if the conditions did not allow it, she would rub her ears, the voice was too loud.

After Emperor Yunzhao asked his mother to sit down, he faced the crowd and said in a steady voice, "Excuse me, all you gentlemen are in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty—"

Chen Ju stood up straight following the movements of the crowd, and then sat down with the permission of Emperor Yunzhao. Following the order of Emperor Yunzhao, the banquet officially began.

The first ones to be served were of course all kinds of snacks, cold dishes, etc. Chen Yu was also a little hungry at the moment, and she was not full at the Baifu Palace. Of course, she also knew that there must be no conditions for her When she was full, she planned to go back to the mansion for another meal after the banquet was over.

It's true that palace banquets can't be so delicious. Even though the chefs are all cooking these dishes, the dishes are cold when they are served in winter.

Chen Ju looked at a stewed mutton in front of him. The soup was covered with white grease. The soup was almost cold, and it definitely didn't taste as good as freshly baked.

And the grilled mutton over there must be the same, there is no heat, and there is no fragrance, and you can tell that it is cold and not tasty.

But Chen Yu still ate it. She didn't have many chances to eat meat before. Although the meat is cold now, it is at least meat, and the chef's craftsmanship is really good.

Even if these dishes are cold, their taste will be compromised, but they will not be unpalatable. She secretly took the warm baby and put it under the plate to warm up the dishes. It's too bad.

The most important thing is to melt the condensed fat, so that it will not be so uncomfortable to eat.

Chen Ting ate with great relish, and although the other concubines didn't say anything after seeing her actions, their expressions and eyes revealed their contempt for her.

Sure enough, she is a girl who grew up in the countryside, she knows how to eat on such occasions, and she looks like she has eaten delicacies.

They admitted that the chef's craftsmanship is indeed very good, but the meals at this time are not so delicious.

Moreover, the dishes in front of them were not the dishes given by His Majesty, but the ordinary dishes arranged for banquets in the palace, and there was no need to resist the bad taste and insist on eating them.

The food given by His Majesty is an honor, and they have to eat it no matter what. It is absolutely impossible for them to endure discomfort and eat these "ordinary" dishes.
