Concubine Mad Queen

In the imperial palace, the land of the heavenly family, as long as they want to do it, they can come up with all kinds of tricks to hold a banquet.

In addition to the serious festivals and birthdays, there are four flower feasts in a year, the peach blossom feast in spring, the lotus feast in summer, the sweet-scented osmanthus feast in autumn, and the plum blossom feast in winter. There are many banquets, but sometimes it depends on the energy and fun of the people who host them.

If you are interested, it is not uncommon for people with identities like the Empress, Concubine Yun, and Concubine De to use their own methods to invite some clan relatives and wealthy ladies from the Qianmen Palace family to hold a tea party.

But under normal circumstances, normal holiday banquets, event banquets, and the birthday banquets of the Emperor Dowager, Emperor Tianxuan, and the Empress are not big banquets, and the others are generally only small banquets, and they must not be well-known.

And this Four Seasons Flower Festival banquet can be regarded as a fixed banquet in the palace. It was just a trick conceived by the concubines in the harem because of boredom, or a play to compete for favor in front of the emperor. Later, it became more and more popular Seriously, it turned out to be a regular banquet in the palace later on, but this banquet is only according to the season, according to the flowering period, the specific time is not fixed, it depends on how the palace people decide.

Originally, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, but in fact, the banquet could have been held earlier.

It’s just that something happened in the capital when it was just opened, and Sun Changzhi’s incident was very involved. In the end, the Liu Mansion and Cheng Wang’s Mansion were also involved. After all the trouble, the Queen and Concubine Yun Gui were also implicated and punished. Without the consent of the empress and concubine Yun Gui, this matter would not have been possible.

On the contrary, there is an imperial concubine, but the empress dowager has always ignored these matters, so this matter has been delayed.

Then Emperor Tianxuan had a sudden idea and took people to the outskirts of Beijing to visit the orphans of important ministers in person. This matter was dragged on again. After that, there was another draft in the palace. Manpower and material resources were all busy, and he also ignored Host this banquet.

Originally, after the results of the draft, this winter plum blossom banquet should also start, and after that Zhong Mei will enter the palace again, so this matter has to be postponed again.

Now that Zhong Mei has also entered the palace, there is no major matter in the palace for the time being, so if we don’t bring up this matter again, this year’s plum blossoms may end soon, so we chose a few days, and finally the queen made a decision. Today is the best winter plum blossom festival. day.

It can be regarded as a good day for the queen to choose, and she is very good at choosing. The weather today is good and the sun is abundant. Even in winter, it still feels warm when it shines on the body. Since the weather is originally cold, but the sun is sufficient and the space is cool, There is also a different atmosphere, but it makes people eager to try.

Why?The four major flower season banquets in this imperial palace are also famous blind date banquets, not only the emperor will also attend in person, even if they can't sit for the whole journey, it is rare and elegant.

And this kind of banquet held separately by the imperial palace is also a symbol of status. It is not like a formal large-scale banquet. Only officials and family members of the third rank and above can participate. Young talents and famous ladies naturally have status and status Talented people, at this time, the unmarried and unmarried stay together, can there be some sparks?At the previous Four Seasons Banquet, there were many examples of people getting married, and some even had a good time.

Therefore, the Four Seasons Banquet in the imperial palace is said to be very popular with young masters and ladies in the city. Some people who are not worthy of their status try their best to find relatives and want to be brought in together. , there are quite a few.

And this kind of palace banquet, how could the Cang Palace be missing?

Sea King's Mansion kept a low profile recently, Lord Hai Wang also said he had been ill for a few days, Princess Hai naturally took care of Lord Hai Wang, and postponed this year's banquet. Although this banquet is highly valued, it happens every year, and there is no need to come.Hai Wangfei is not young, so why participate in this special event?There are concubines who are suitable to marry in the mansion, but if Princess Hai can come to this winter plum blossom banquet specially in order to bring these concubines to choose a good husband, then it will be a hell!

And people like the University Scholars' Mansion and Shangshu's Mansion have also received invitations.

Bingyan and Yun Cang went to the palace together. When they came, the imperial concubine hadn't arranged to meet people there, so she stayed in the side room where Rong entertained the female relatives, but she didn't expect that when she came, there were already many people They all rushed over.

For example, there are several palaces, and there are several family members. Among them, the old Qi Wangfei and Qi Wangfei of Qi Wangfu are all on the list. Looking at her daughter, Yuan Rongxin, and the current wife of the Jibu Shangshu Mansion, Mrs. Wang, her daughter Qiuchi and other noble concubines, stood up with the daughters of each mansion, and greeted Bingyan with a very bright and affectionate smile, and gave Bingyan Smoke salute.

With a smile on Bingyan's face, she walked over slowly. Today, she is wearing a deep purple one-piece dress with double blessing embroidered thread, covered with snow-white fox fur, and her head is decorated with the grade of a princess, but it matches well. Simple and elegant, the bright jewel double blessing hairpin looks majestic and dignified. With a low-key but luxurious clothes, it highlights the temperament of Bingyan.

Just coming slowly, it has attracted the attention of everyone present, which is not to say that it is not beautiful.

However, there was a smile on Bingyan's face, which looked very friendly and natural, and it would not give people the feeling of being repulsed by thousands of miles away.

Bing Yan smiled and said: "Don't be too polite, just sit down."

As she spoke, she was taken to the position on the left. On her left were the old Princess Qi and Princess Qi Wang Yuqi. The old Princess Qi was the most senior present, and Bingyan immediately saluted her: "Bingyan has seen Princess Qi."

The old Princess Qi saw Bingyan slowly approaching, she didn't like it very much, and thinking about Bingyan's previous behavior of using Yuexue tea to win over Yun Qi, she has always disliked Bingyan and has always been prejudiced At that time, in order not to take advantage of Bingyan, she even offered something of higher value in return, so that the attitude of Old Qi Wangfei towards Bingyan was not very good, but with so many eyes watching, Old Qi Wangfei would not give it up. People talked, but the voice was neither cold nor indifferent: "You came early, and you were tired all the way, so sit down and have a rest first, the banquet will take a while."

Bingyan smiled, and didn't care about the obviously alienated attitude of Old Princess Qi, because of the attitude of Old Princess Qi and Bingyan, Wu Qiong, Princess Wu, turned her eyes and looked over.

Princess Cheng Yu Cheng was also a little surprised, when did Princess Cang offend old Princess Qi?This old Princess Qi is a protector of her son, but she has been able to guard her son Pingping Shunshun for so many years, as long as she thinks about doing things, it is also unreasonable!
