Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 549
The family banquet was held in the Jiaxi Hall in the Cining Palace, which was specially used for banquets.

The red silk mat table in the hall has been set up, and fine wine and jade fruits are placed on it. Behind the table table are opera performers in the Liyuan, playing the zither in their hands, holding the qin in their arms, and the palace music pervades the hall.

Most of the royal family members arrived at the venue in advance, divided into male and female seats, and sat down apart.

Because of King Jingyang's relationship, Mrs. Pan also had to be favored by the superior, and was assigned to the first row of the female family seat on the right, close to Dan Chi, very close to the queen mother and the emperor, right next to the queen, and even overwhelmed several others. princess.

Yun Wanqin and Mrs. Pan sat down, and not long after, there were footsteps at the door, and everyone stood up one after another. Under the eunuch's singing, Emperor Ning Xi and Empress Dowager Jia entered the Jiaxi Palace.

Empress Jiang supported Empress Dowager Jia, dressed in a red robe, wearing a phoenix crown, majestic and beautiful, as in the past, she presented the image of a virtuous daughter-in-law in front of everyone.

All the people saluted in unison, shouting words such as long live my emperor, long life for the empress dowager, etc.

"Today's family banquet in the Zong's family is just like a folk reunion banquet. There is no need to be formal." Emperor Ning Xi looked ruddy today, and he was better than a few days ago. Full, although the speech is still empty, but the energy has been raised a lot.

"The emperor has been ill recently in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and my nephew and nephew are very worried, but the emperor refused to allow me, so my nephew can't come to the palace to visit. Now that the emperor is in good spirits, I am finally relieved." King Jingyang opened his mouth, and other royal family members also I had to sigh: "Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Ning Xi glanced at Empress Jiang with a smile: "There is a crown prince and all the lovers in charge of me, and the empress takes care of the harem. I am very relieved, and my illness will recover quickly. Once today is over, I will start going to court tomorrow." Listen to the government."

These words can be regarded as giving Empress Jiang enough face.

The royal clansmen faced Empress Jiang again, folded their hands and bowed, and said a few compliments.

When Emperor Ning Xi was seated, Empress Dowager Jia took the queen's hand and said with a smile: "The queen will sit down with Ai's family."

Empress Jiang's eyes were calm, her chest was puffed out, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Whenever this happens, she feels better.

Emperor Ren had a thousand sails around him, there were people who he couldn't forget, who loved him deeply, and countless beauties in the harem, but he was the only one who could appear majestically in front of everyone at the family banquet.

Beside Empress Jiang was Jiang Yu, who cleaned up very well today, with a seemingly calm smile on her face.

Seeing Empress Jiang condescending, enjoying the respect of her clan members and the love of the emperor and queen mother, the smile on Jiang Yu's face became brighter, she turned her head and her eyes fell on a middle-aged man, and there was a younger man beside him. The man was obese, dressed in rich clothes, and his face was flushed with excitement before the banquet. He looked like a young man in the capital who only knew how to eat, drink and play in the shadow of his father.

It was Jiang Yu's biological father, the queen's younger brother, Jiang Ping who was working as an idler in Honglu Temple, and the one next to him was Jiang Yu's direct brother, Jiang Ping's beloved direct son Jiang Hongji.

"Father, look, that girl Jiang Yu is next to the queen's aunt. She is so majestic. Just after entering the palace, several county kings have taken the initiative to say hello to her! Tell me, are our glorious days coming? After the banquet, can you talk to that girl and the queen about making the baby an official?" Jiang Hongji grinned, rubbing his hands, feeling very proud today.

Jiang Yu's daughter has always been indifferent to her natal family. Ever since she was selected by her younger sister to enter the East Palace, Jiang Ping seemed to have lost this daughter. In the past two years, she wanted to donate an official position to her precious son, and wanted to find a good position. I had spoken to Jiang Yu, thinking that she was the crown prince's concubine after all, so how could the crown prince not save face if she just blows the wind.

Jiang Yu only replied coldly that there was nothing she could do, and said that because of her brother's idiot-filled appearance who only knows how to eat, drink, whore and gamble, becoming an official would also embarrass her in front of the prince. Jiang Ping didn't get what he wanted, but was ridiculed by the daughter He was so angry that he was half dead, and from then on, he didn't have this daughter at all.

This time, Jiang Ping was a little surprised to learn that it was his daughter who asked them to enter the palace. In fact, up to now, he has not recovered. Hearing his son's request at this moment, he just wondered: "Why does your sister seem to be a different person? It's not big. That's right, I think we should leave the palace after this banquet, and don't cause so many troubles. Regarding the matter of donating officials, I will discuss with you later."

Jiang Hongji knew that his father was afraid of trouble, and when he saw him being suspicious, he tossed his sleeves and became impatient: "Father, it's either because you said something like lightning, or because you are too honest and cowardly. I never put you at ease. Look, the uncles and uncles are doing well, and the uncle Jiang Yin is even more amazing. If he is not stupid, he is still covering the sky with his hands! Even if he goes to the mountains to become a Taoist priest, his prestige They are better than you! As for you, the official rank is the lowest, and it is okay to say that it is a salary, but when you talk about that position, you don’t look like the queen’s brother! Shame is not shame. What a great opportunity today, why are you still like this? What can that girl change? No matter what, she is also the daughter of my Jiang family, and she can still harm us. I don't care, my father said that I have been an official for several years, but there has been no more. This time, I will not arrange with the baby. Alright, baby, I'm in a hurry with you!"

Jiang Ping saw his precious son's face flushed with anger, and hurriedly comforted him with distress: "Okay, okay, look at your temper, you can't even say a few words, dad will arrange for you, don't be angry, huh?"

Only then was Jiang Hongji satisfied.

The side not far from Jiang's father and son.

Looking at his elder brother Jiang Hongji's playful look, and at his own father who answered his son's every request, Jiang Yu felt sick for a while.

Her biological mother was just Jiang Ping's concubine. From childhood to adulthood, the mother and daughter were often insulted by Jiang Ping's wife and this direct brother. They always called her a vixen and she was a little fox.

In the past, when his mother was favored, Jiang Ping would occasionally help her. Later, when his mother was old and decrepit, Jiang Ping ignored her at all, allowing Jiang Hongji to tease and even beat and scold Jiang Yu's mother and daughter. Later, when her mother fell ill, Jiang Ping was afraid of his wife and let them go. No matter, this direct brother is even more hateful, deliberately delaying the servants to find a doctor, causing his mother to become seriously ill and die.

Jiang Yu was lucky. She was selected by Empress Jiang into the East Palace to accompany the crown prince and became Liangdi. At that time, she swore that she would never have any relationship with her natal family, let alone help them. The queen has mentioned something about her mother's family, let alone something, it's fine if she doesn't find a chance to repair it and get revenge.

This time, if it wasn't for something, she wouldn't bother to see this pair of father and son again!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu whispered, "Queen, Yu'er saw her father and elder brother, so I wonder if I can say a few words."

Empress Jiang said lightly: "Go and come back quickly."

Jiang Yu thanked her kindness, and walked to her father and brother alone.

Jiaxi Hall is very spacious because it is a place for banquets. In order to ensure that the people in the palace pass food and wine in and out smoothly and conveniently, without colliding with each other, each table is separated by a certain distance, and the seats of Jiang's father and son are arranged in the Zong Palace. The last row on the pro-seat side is against the corner again, and the distance from other seats is even further, so it is very hidden.
