Chapter 12

Except for Emperor Kande's direct relatives, all the guests who could come to the banquet held by the eldest princess of Guangping were the wives who had orders from the capital and were well-known.

They also brought their daughters-in-law, grandson-in-law, and unmarried girls in the family.They sat down one by one according to the order in their mansion, such a big venue was full of seats.

Wen Jing seldom appeared in the eyes of everyone in her boudoir, and few people had seen the new princess, and when they heard the waiter's announcement, everyone looked in that direction.

Wen Jing is wearing a bright red silver thread piled flower skirt, a silver see-through spring shirt on the outside, wearing a flying fairy bun, jewelry without a hair crown, it is a set of gemstones with a few red peonies and velvet flowers.Such a gorgeous color does not seem to overwhelm the host, and the red makes her look like a spring flower, and her skin is fair and dazzling.

There was a momentary pause in the slightly noisy voice present, Wen Jing walked up the high platform slowly, a woman in luxurious clothes and wearing a phoenix hairpin came over and took Wen Jing's hand: "Oh, I still think of the prince like that." Good looks, I want to marry a fairy woman, I saw the crown princess today, she is really suitable."

What she said was a bit exaggerated, but everyone didn't react, they just laughed along with her.

The woman then said: "I am your aunt Guangping. You have never seen it before, and it is normal if you don't recognize it. Come, let me introduce you."

Wen Jing thought about many possibilities, but she didn't expect Princess Guangping to be so enthusiastic.Wen Jing couldn't refuse, so she followed her to identify people.

She also only had a cursory glance at the members of the royal family on the day of her wedding, and it was impossible to say that she remembered them.She only recognized Jiang Xufeng's other brothers, and she couldn't tell the female relatives of the princes' families.

The one with a round face and a beaming smile is Princess Qing. Although she is over thirty, she looks like a woman in her twenties.

King Qing is the eldest son of Emperor Kangde. He was born with a serious illness and has been in poor health. He spends most of his time recuperating in the mansion.Because there is no battle for the reserve position, Princess Qing Yu's communication with her sister-in-law is impartial, and she has won a good relationship.

Princess Qing is next to Princess Huai. Prince Huai is ranked fifth. He is good at business and has a lot of property under his name. His only biological mother is a tribute girl from a foreign ethnic group and he is still a Jieyu.Concubine Huai was born in the Yang family, and the Yang family's ancestors had made great contributions to the dragon, but it was not all due to the shade of their ancestors that they were able to stand tall in Beijing.

The Yang family is famous for pursuing stability and not participating in court struggles. This approach has been favored by successive Emperors of Dayong.King Huai's throne was also obtained by marrying Yang's daughter, the honor given to Yang by Emperor Kangde.

Fortunately, the husband and wife have the same personality, have no pursuit of rights, and live a leisurely life in wealth.

There are also the family members of the second prince and the fourth prince who have not yet been crowned king. They have no rank, they are just princes and concubines.Sitting farther away, he has a good attitude towards Wen Jing, gossiping with a smile on his face.

As for the woman sitting first on the right of Princess Guangping, she seemed to frown all the time, leaving a faint mark between her brows.At this time, the expression was kind, but Wen Jing could see slight hostility in her eyes.

Wen Jing knew who it was without introduction, Princess Ning and Zhao Peiling.

"On that day, I only looked at it from a distance, but today I look closely, the princess's national beauty is not comparable to the few of us." Princess Ning joked, and pulled all the sisters-in-law.

The provocation in her words was too obvious, everyone just smiled and didn't answer.

"The third sister-in-law is joking. I can't be considered a national beauty. The sister-in-laws have their own merits. I don't understand anything yet. I will rely on the sister-in-laws to tell me more later."

Wen Jing refuted it neither softly nor hard, Princess Ning wanted to say something, but just at this time the female relatives of various families came to greet her and interrupted her.

Concubine Yu of Qing, seeing this scene, covered the look of contempt in her eyes with the movement of holding up the teacup.

After all, Wen Jing was there by her side, and it was all the female relatives who saluted her, so she just nodded slightly.With a glance over, it turned out that the person who was talking enthusiastically beside Mrs. An Guogong was Mrs. Jiang, and Wen Jing's eyes immediately sank.

In fact, on this occasion, with the official position of the Great General of Zhenbei, the family members of the family can naturally receive the post.

But Jiang himself was of ordinary background and was a second wife.After so many years of hard work among the noble ladies in Beijing, they still couldn't squeeze in between the wives of the aristocratic family and the wives of the prince. I don't know how this time they got married to Mrs. An Guo.

"Yo, I have a bad memory. Luckily there is Yao Niang, otherwise this is not a disrespect." The voice of Princess Guangping came, and she held the hands of Mrs. An Guogong and Mrs. Jiang very enthusiastically.

Mrs. An Guogong was born in the Chen family of Yingchuan, and her maiden name was Yaoniang.Seeing how familiar she is with Princess Guangping, one can tell which side the An Guo government is on.

Wen Jing couldn't help frowning, what is Jiang doing?
Concubine Ning's expression flashed a mockery, she raised the corners of her lips and said to Wen Jing: "It's the first time I've seen Mrs. Jiang, but why did you come with Mrs. An Guogong?"

Wen Jing suddenly laughed this time: "Oh, I am different from the third sister-in-law. I am a royal wife at the beginning, so I am careful not to make mistakes in every step, and my thoughts are all on myself."

This is to say that Princess Ning is nosy, and Princess Qing and Princess Huai glanced at Wen Jing in surprise, and then laughed to herself.

For a while, Zhao Peiling couldn't maintain a kind look, and her face was filled with anger. Her husband is the emperor's favorite Prince Ning. She was born in the Zhao family of Tianshui. Wherever she went, she was not praised by everyone. It has been many years since no one dared to do this her face.

Seeing the situation here, Princess Guangping quickly came out to smooth things over, shook her head slightly at Princess Ning, and directed the waiters to start the match.

The two teams on the field were raised by the Guangping Princess Palace itself. A team of more than a dozen strong men, if they win the whole team, not only can they get all the bets, but they can also get extra rewards.The losing team will receive a whip and paint their faces with white powder.

Two waiters walked past the nobles in the auditorium one by one carrying silver trays. The wives of each family would not lose their chains at such a time, and they had to hold on even if they had no money, and the silver trays were piled up in a short while.

The waiter dragged the silver plate and walked up to Wen Jing, bowing his head respectfully.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Jing, but Wen Jing didn't need to signal. Lan Qian held one of the boxes Jiang Xufeng gave her, grabbed it casually, and put it directly on the tray.

The gadgets used as rewards are not as delicate as the ones that the female relatives usually wear, and what they ask for is just enough weight.

The one Wen Jing admired included at least five or six gold rings, a few strings of red agate necklaces and a few hairpins, the most conspicuous one being a hairpin with a big opal on the top.Although this opal has impurities, it is not a good product, but such a large one is rare, and most people will choose to polish it to make a set of jewelry for the juniors in the family.

Jiang's body leaned forward, and the surroundings of his eyes were flushed.

Even Princess Guangping glanced at Wen Jing, and presided over the situation with a raised face as if nothing had happened.

The big drum on the Cuju field was sounded, and as the drumbeat became more and more rapid, the flag in the referee's hand was waved down, and the left team kicked off the ball first.

The fierce cuju game attracted everyone's attention for a while, and Wen Jing watched it for a while and was also fascinated. The captain of the left army scored two cuju balls in a row, and the audience applauded. broken silver.

Standing next to each guest is a small waiter, also holding a silver plate, which is convenient for the distinguished guests to tip rewards during the competition.

Princess Guangping looked at the field, but she said to Wen Jing: "The Crown Princess suppressed the right army, and I see that the Crown Princess is going to lose money."

Wen Jing pretended to sigh: "What my aunt said is true. I saw that the soldiers on the right are all strong and good men. However, this is just the beginning, and my niece and daughter-in-law want to take a look again, maybe they don't have to spend money."
