Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Chapter 313 Attending the Banquet
June 20th is Anlehou’s birthday.

The Lord Protector's Office also received the invitation.

At noon, Shen Jia and others took a carriage to Anle Houfu.

Yao was originally unwilling to go, but Gu persuaded her: "My eldest brother will definitely be a high-ranking official when he returns to Beijing. If you don't follow me to see the world, how will you be able to stand alone in the future?"

Yao's heart changed and he agreed to go to the banquet together.

Outside the gate of Anlehou Mansion, there was an endless stream of cars and horses.

Anlehou is the father of the Crown Princess and Prince Ning's concubine. Today, many people came to wish Anlehou her birthday.

After everyone got off the carriage, it was inevitable to exchange a few words with people they met.

Before she got married, Mrs. Gu often attended banquets with Mrs. Qing Pingbo and got to know many female relatives in the capital. She smiled and greeted the ladies she knew well and introduced them to Mrs. Yao.

What the female family members in the capital are best at is superficial skills. Outside, they are always generous, polite and will not easily offend others, which can be regarded as giving enough face to the Yao family.

The group of people soon arrived at the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

Shen Jia glanced at her. She had a slender figure and regular facial features. Especially her eyes were clear and rare for nobles from aristocratic families. She could see everything at a glance.

He completely ignored the eyes that fell on him and just looked at them without losing a piece of meat.

Mrs. Anlehou exchanged warm greetings with the noble ladies Xungui and Gaoming beside her.

Shen Jia always followed her with a decent smile, without any sign of impatience.

Mrs. Wei came out to greet people, and everyone followed her into the door.

When he saw Mr. Wei leading Shen Jia and his entourage in, the smile on his face froze for two seconds before he greeted everyone with a smile and greeted everyone to sit down.

Shen Jia did not reject anyone who came, and greeted them politely and distantly.

"It's really strange this time. The Crown Princess hasn't returned to the Marquis for more than ten years. Why did she come back today? Could it be that she feels proud that her son was crowned the Crown Prince?"

Shen Jiawei raised the corners of his lips invisibly, hoping that you would be able to smile so brightly later.

In the next room, Huo Pingping was greeting various ladies. When she knew Shen Jia was coming, she immediately came over to greet her.

No matter how reluctant they were, how envious and jealous they were, it was a definite fact that Shen Jia was the grandson concubine, and it was also a fact that Shen Jia had a venomous mouth and high strength. They did not have the courage to provoke her, so they could only try to please her.

Mrs. Qing Pingbo arrived before them. When she saw them coming, she stepped forward with a smile and took Shen Jia's hand. She called her "darling" and took her to greet the other ladies present before letting her go.

After other ladies got the news, they also came over to see Shen Jia as a pretext.

Then he found a seat below her and sat down, silently observing the people in the room.

No matter how well Mrs. Anlehou concealed it, Shen Jia still caught the displeasure in her eyes when she looked at them.

Shen Jia followed Gu and Yao obediently, looking like a lady.

At this time, a maid came to report that the crown prince, the emperor's grandson and Prince Ning's concubine had arrived.

The person sitting in the main seat in the living room must be Mrs. Anlehou. She is about fifty years old. She is elegantly dressed and has a slightly mean face. Although she is smiling, she cannot conceal her domineering nature.

When Shen Jia heard that the Crown Princess had arrived, Shen Jia immediately cheered up.

The voice was very low, but Shen Jia still heard it.

Shen Jia followed the voice calmly and looked over, seeing a dignified-looking middle-aged woman, who should be the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

The older lady next to her, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, lowered her voice and yelled: "Shut up, you can talk about the princess." "Mother, you are too careful. Who can hear our voices so low?" get?"

"That's not okay. Don't bring trouble to Concubine De."

"My daughter-in-law knows she was wrong."

Shen Jia glanced at them indifferently and ignored them, because the Crown Princess and Prince Ning's concubine stepped in.

"See you, Crown Princess!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

"No gifts! I am going back to the Marquis' Mansion today just to celebrate my father's birthday. You don't need to worry about these red tapes," the Crown Princess said.

Everyone only saluted the Crown Princess and not the Concubine Ning. The Concubine Ning and Mrs. Anlehou were so jealous that their eyes were red and they were so angry that they almost broke their silver teeth.

"Jia'er, come to me quickly."

"Mother Concubine." Shen Jia obediently walked over and sat down next to the Crown Princess.

"You are really shameless. You call me "mother concubine" before we get married?" Prince Ning's side concubine said sourly.

Mrs. Anlehou quickly pulled Prince Ning's concubine to prevent her from continuing.

Unfortunately it's too late.

Damn it! Many famous ladies in the court looked at the concubine of Prince Chaoning, their eyes burning with the fire of gossip. They all secretly slandered: Could it be that Prince Ning's concubine is out of her mind, and even Princess Protector dares to arrange it?

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone glanced at Shen Jia intentionally or unintentionally, raised their ears, and waited to eat.

Shen Jia glanced lightly at Prince Ning's side concubine, who was wearing a long, floor-sweeping Bixialuo concubine-colored smoke gauze dress embroidered with large peonies, and covered with gold thin smoke and emerald green gauze. There is a jade bracelet inlaid with pearls on the temples, and a jade bracelet of excellent color and full of water is worn on both wrists.

This woman is even more gorgeously dressed than the princess.

However, the Crown Princess is naturally beautiful, with fair and firm skin, and a noble and elegant temperament. Even if she is wearing a rag, she still looks better than Prince Ning's side concubine.

Shen Jia said domineeringly: "What does it have to do with you if I call you my concubine? The emperor also asked me to call him grandpa. Does it mean that Prince Ning's concubine has any objections? Even if you have any objections, you should keep it to yourself! Eat carrots and worry less!”

Prince Ning's concubine was livid when she heard this. She was a serious concubine who had slept with Royal Jade Butterfly, but she was so arrogantly contradicted by a junior. She was about to have a fit when Mrs. Anlehou quickly covered her mouth, " Stop talking, it will only make yourself more embarrassed!”

Prince Ning's concubine suddenly woke up and glanced at the people in the room. Seeing that everyone looked like they were watching a good show, she felt angry, scared and aggrieved.

She actually became a clown and let people watch plays for free?
Shen Jia curled her lips, still wanting to find trouble in this area, not overestimating her own capabilities.

The princess's eyes were filled with smiles. It seemed that her good stepmother was very afraid of Jia'er. From now on, she will have to learn from Jia'er.

Huo Pingping looked at Shen Jia with admiration. In the past, the second aunt used to rely on her status as Prince Ning's side concubine. Whenever she returned to Anlehou Mansion, she would look down on others with her nostrils, and everyone in the mansion would have to surround her.

She has never had a good attitude towards her family in particular, and she always yells at her. It was really refreshing to see her slumping at her cousin's house today.

The female family members of the Qingping family and Mrs. Gu slightly lowered their eyelids to hide the smiles in their eyes, and didn't take it seriously at all.

The others lowered their heads and played with the handkerchiefs in their hands, but they all remained silent.

The atmosphere in the living room became condensed.

Mrs. Anlehou took a deep breath and smiled to smooth things over.

On the other side, Xiao Yichen, under the leadership of Huo Jingnan, personally delivered birthday gifts to An Lehou, and was then surrounded by the ministers of the court.

Huo Jingnan was busy today, doing everything by himself, and had lost all his clumsy appearance in the past. Many ministers couldn't help but feel suspicious when they saw this, and since Prince Anle Hou was not present, some people asked curiously: "Master Hou, why don't you see the prince today?" "
