Chapter 442 Queen's Banquet
Sure enough, from the second day of the first lunar month, many people came to visit Qiaoyun in the other courtyard.Fortunately, Qiao Yun had instructed the steward in advance to leave without excuses. Those people had no choice but to leave angrily.

When other people came, the concierge could use this excuse to send them away, but when some people came, the concierge didn't dare to deal with them casually, so they could only order people to report in. "Hurry up and deliver a letter, saying that the palace sent someone to invite the Princess into the palace for a banquet."

The concierge looked at the servants in front of him and couldn't help becoming worried. This time, can the girl avoid it? "You guys, please wait in the living room. The princess is not feeling well these days, so it may take some time." Here, the steward of the concierge led several servants to the living room to wait, and asked people to bring tea, snacks, etc. Things are carefully served.

Qiaoyun was reading a book in the room, she couldn't calm down all the time, so she took a book and read it so that she wouldn't think about it.But she had only turned a few pages when Aunt Wei and Chun Tao hurried in from the outside. "Girl, the palace has sent a servant to invite the girl to the palace for a banquet. What should I do?"

It is true that Qiao Yun has been named princess, but she doesn't like this title.So I told the people in the other courtyard to address the princess in front of outsiders, and to call her a girl when there are no outsiders.Especially Aunt Wei and other people who are close to her are still called that way before.

Qiaoyun was taken aback, and couldn't help frowning, what does this emperor mean?Why did you let her enter the palace for no reason?She is not a kabuki raised in the palace, even if she has the title of a goddess protecting the country, is it possible that the goddess is just accompanying them to feast and have fun all day long?

"What did the people from the palace say?" Qiao Yun didn't want to be too reckless, so she asked.

"It was said that today the empress is hosting a banquet for all the officials and wives, and the princess is the empress' adopted daughter, so she specially asked someone to invite her here." Aunt Wei curled her lips as she spoke. Judging from her many years of experience in Beijing, this is clearly the case. pretext.The queen empress is different from the emperor, she acts very low-key, and she doesn't like those extravagant and wasteful things.On the contrary, the noble concubine often holds banquets in the palace. Otherwise, why did the emperor spoil the noble concubine so much before?
"Girl, this matter seems to be a bit strange." Aunt Wei didn't want to say it clearly, so she only gently pointed Qiao Yun.

"Please trouble Auntie to go there in person and tell the people who come here. Just say that since I entered the palace on the first day of the junior high school, I have been feeling ill since I came back. I have been dizzy for days. I really can't enter the palace. When I recover , and then go to make amends to the empress." Qiao Yun didn't want to enter the palace, she was anxious about Chu Ruifeng's words that she would not see anyone, even if the emperor called her, she would not go.

Aunt Wei nodded, "Okay, this servant will reply in person, don't worry, girl." After speaking, Aunt Wei led a few girls all the way to the living room.

"My father-in-law, please forgive me. The princess is not acclimatized. Since she came back from the palace last time, she has been seriously ill. Now she is so dizzy that it is difficult to get out of bed. It is really impossible to enter the palace." Aunt Wei entered the palace In the living room, he saluted and apologized to the servants.

The servants in the living room were getting a little impatient. They were all relatively powerful people in the palace, and they had never been neglected like this before.Now hearing that the Princess is not feeling well and unable to enter the palace, the faces of these people are not very good.

"What did you say? Your majesty and the empress called, and the princess dared not go? This aunt, your princess doesn't understand the seriousness of the matter, don't you understand? If you make your majesty angry, don't say it." It's a princess, even a princess, and she can't bear it." One of the servants said in a sharp voice.

"Forgive me, Father-in-Law, the Princess is indeed unable to enter the palace. It is unlucky to be ill in the first month of the lunar year. Wouldn't it be even worse if you bring the illness into the palace again and let others get angry? Explain to the queen that when the princess gets better, I will go to the palace to make amends." Aunt Wei would not be as knowledgeable as these people in front of her, and she still explained with a smile on her face.

The leading servant's face was very ugly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, not wanting to be pulled by his sleeve by another person beside him.The man whispered a few words in his ear, and then the leading servant raised his head and gave Aunt Wei a hard look, "Okay, since that's the case, we'll go back to the palace first, and if His Majesty doesn't see you Whether the princess will be angry or not, our family doesn't know."

After saying this, the leading servant took them out of the living room angrily, and Aunt Wei hurriedly ordered them to see them off.On the other side, I also ordered people to go out from other places quickly and deliver a letter to the Princess Mansion.The matter of the emperor's summoning of Qiaoyun to the palace must be known to the Eldest Princess and the Shizi.

Several servants came out of the other courtyard, rode back to the palace and returned to their orders.At this time, in the Queen's Golden Phoenix Palace, a grand feast was held, and the wives of important ministers in Beijing were invited to the palace to have a banquet.This has never happened in the past years, and everyone who came to the banquet was also a little puzzled, when did the empress also like to be lively?
Of course, no one dared to ask such a question.It is a supreme honor to be invited by the queen, who is stupid?Nonsense at this time?
The banquet was going on, when suddenly a servant shouted outside, "Your Majesty is here." It turned out that the emperor came in person.

All the officials and wives were even more surprised. How could the emperor come here at this time?Although Daliao did not pay much attention to the defense of men and women, there was never an example of the emperor appearing during the queen's banquet?Today's affairs are full of weirdness, why is it a bit incomprehensible?

Of course, everyone's doubts belonged to doubts, but they still knelt on the ground to welcome Sheng Jia.At this time, the emperor was seen walking in from outside the hall surrounded by a group of servants.Everyone hurriedly lowered their bodies, and no one dared to overstep.

On the contrary, the emperor seemed in a good mood, and he waved his hands after coming in, "Get up, today is a good day for the empress to entertain, so there is no need to be polite." While speaking, the emperor walked up to the empress and sat down side by side with the empress.

All the officials and wives hurriedly stood up and sat down in their seats again.At this time, the emperor's eyes swept over everyone, and then frowned. "Queen, didn't I tell you to invite Princess Yi'an to enter the palace? She is your adopted daughter, and she is also appointed princess by my own relatives. In such occasions, she should be present more often."

When the queen heard the emperor say this, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart, but there was no other expression on her face, "Your Majesty, the concubine has already been invited, but I don't know what happened, and Yi'an hasn't come yet."

At this moment, several servants hurried into the Golden Phoenix Palace and came before the emperor and empress, "Your Majesty, empress, Princess Yi'an is sick and cannot come to the banquet."
