The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 58 Banquet in the Palace
Yun Yuhong has never been very particular about her clothes, and everything is about comfort and convenience, but on the day of the palace banquet, she still has to wear a heavy and luxurious dress, a bunch of headgear, and a lot of makeup before she can come out to meet people.Yun Yuhong, who was so annoyed to death by this dress, didn't know how noble and gorgeous she was after careful makeup, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was beautiful.

The palace banquet was held in the imperial garden of the imperial palace. Because Yun Yuhong was a princess, in addition to inviting the ministers and couples, the key point was to invite the ladies from the ministers' families.Qianzong meant that he hoped that his daughter could make some good friends, but the purpose of the wives of various mansions bringing their own ladies here to attend the banquet was not for Yun Yuhong, their main purpose was to exchange feelings, pass some gossip news, or It is the daughter-in-law who is looking at the future, and of course there are girls of the right age who are dressed up and come to be looked at.As for welcoming Yun Yuhong's return, that's by the way.After all, a princess who has not stayed in the palace for a few days since she was a child, and is not familiar with the ladies of other mansions, the point is that she will be married to a princess from another country in two years, so there is no way to say whether she is welcome or not.

Yun Yuhong appeared with the Queen Mother and the four noble concubines.The queen was kept in Fengyi Palace by Yun Yuhong on the grounds that she was unwell.After a period of recuperation, the Queen seems to be pregnant, but Bai Shao will come tomorrow, so it is not sure yet.However, even if it was confirmed, Yun Yuhong did not intend to announce it so early.The queen's safety was put first by Yun Yuhong, she didn't want her mother to take any risk.

After Qianzong arrived with some ministers, everyone saluted, and the queen mother ordered the banquet to open. Yun Yuhong curled her lips, saying that the banquet was held in the name of welcoming her. Why don't you formally introduce her? This look is avoided, the queen mother will not want to keep her out today, right?

Yun Yuhong's thinking was really right, the queen mother just wanted to let Yun Yuhong hang out and embarrass her.But Yun Yuhong is not a thin-skinned person. On the contrary, she is very thick-skinned. She enjoys herself when no one cares about her. She should eat and drink. Watching the expressions and interactions among the people below is like watching a big drama Leisurely.Qianzong watched anxiously from the side, but he wanted to speak several times, but was blocked by the four concubines sitting beside him.

Bai Ziyu is also in a similar situation to Yun Yuhong.Some important ministers below are seated according to family. Bai Ziyu sits with people from the Jingguo Mansion, and the others enjoy themselves happily, but he is the only one who is out of place, and no one talks to him. After some distance, it seemed that there was an invisible wall separating him.Bai Ziyu doesn't have a thick skin, but he has a good sense of self-cultivation, and besides, Youyun Yuhong is not on the same level as him, so he doesn't feel lonely.

Halfway through the banquet, the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still.She said: "I've almost eaten this wine, and it's boring to eat it like this. You young masters and ladies of the Qing family have talents, so why not try it out. Ai's family just got a few East China Sea pearls, and they will be a lottery. Everyone comment Whoever has the best talent will be awarded."

Everyone became excited when they heard it. These few beads are a trivial matter, but the key point is that they were rewarded by the Queen Mother, and only the best talents can get them. The meaning is not ordinary.Immediately, several young masters and young ladies stood up, writing poems, making paintings, playing the piano, dancing, and showing them off one by one.

Yun Yuhong is still unmoved, eat a bite of food, watch a performance for a while, drink a sip of wine, and watch Bai Ziyu for a while, she knows that there will be a play waiting for her today, but she doesn't have to cooperate with the performance, so as long as they don't If she made a move, she just couldn't stand it.

Concubine Xian couldn't stand it any longer, and said with a smile: "It's the first time the eldest princess has come to such a banquet, and she may not understand that all the ladies of the family are friends with talents. You might as well show everyone what talents the eldest princess has." , maybe I can make a few friends."

Yun Yuhong frowned and said, "I don't know how to make friends, so I'd better have a look."

Concubine Xian choked, and said embarrassingly: "The eldest princess is joking, how can you know nothing!"

"What does Concubine Xian think I will do?" Yun Yuhong looked curious.

"..." To say that you have a good literary talent is to slap the Zhou family in the face, to say that you are good at martial arts is to slap the Liu family in the face, and the concubine Xian really doesn't know what other talents she has, so she was speechless for a while.

But Yun Yuhong refused to let Concubine Xian go like this, and said with a smile: "Concubine Xian should pay more attention in the future, don't talk nonsense without knowing anything, otherwise it will be very embarrassing."

The banquet was quiet, the eldest princess and the concubine Xian faced each other, but it was obvious that the concubine Xian was not the match.Many women who have been good at fighting in the inner house for most of their lives are frowning. The eldest princess's routine is a slanted sword. She dares to say and do anything, which is the most difficult to deal with.

The queen mother said from the side: "Okay, how could it be possible that the eldest princess does not have the talent to show, Aijia ordered you to perform a show for everyone to see now."

Yun Yuhong simply said, "Okay." Then he said to the Third Young Master Liu who was sitting next to Liu Xiang, "Please come over and cooperate with the Third Young Master Liu."

The Queen Mother wondered: "What did you call Qing'er for?"

Yun Yuhong shuddered, goosebumps formed on her body, Qing'er, she yelled so affectionately.

"I am best at beating people, so I asked Mr. Liu San to perform with me." Yun Yuhong said seriously.

A few muffled laughter came from below, it was from the little girl who was not deeply involved in the world, and was quickly suppressed by the adults.Third Young Master Liu was startled, and hid behind Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu said in a deep voice, "The eldest princess is joking."

The queen mother was so angry that her hands were shaking, she pointed at Yun Yuhong and said: "Nonsense, I recognize your talent in acting, but I didn't let you hit people. You are a dignified princess, you are justified in beating people in the street."

"Of course I am right. I heard that Mr. Liu has recently been involved in a death lawsuit. It seems that I did not make a mistake at the time." Yun Yuhong continued.

The queen mother was so angry that she slapped the table, "If you are asked to perform, then perform, don't you dare not listen to Aijia's order?"

Yun Yuhong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Listen, how can you not listen, bring a pen and paper."

The palace man stepped forward to set the table, and put away the paper and pen.

Yun Yuhong swiped the brush in one go, and wrote a few big characters on the side.Several palace people stepped forward to pick it up, but they were all stunned when they saw it, and they didn't know how to act.People are even more curious, is it too bad or too good?In the end, under the expectation of everyone and the urging of the Queen Mother, the two young eunuchs picked it up tremblingly.

Yun Yuhong's paintings are really good, the brushwork is delicate and lifelike, but unfortunately, what she painted is a pile of stool, the color is burnt yellow, and it is still steaming, and the four big characters "stinky" are written on it, and the characters are also good, not like a woman It's not so handsome, but it's vigorous and majestic, but it's a pity that such imposing and good characters and such realistic painting techniques are used on a pile of shit.

When Bai Ziyu was admiring Yun Yuhong's calligraphy and painting, he couldn't help laughing to himself. Is she trying to satisfy everyone's appetite and end this banquet early?

The Empress Dowager patted the table again, "What are you painting? How dare you paint such an indecent thing at a palace banquet. How can Aijia tolerate you?"

"It's all the fault of Concubine Xian. I can't compare it. She still insists on me to draw. I can only draw this. And I'm not bad at drawing, right?" Yun Yuhong didn't take the Queen Mother seriously. All the responsibilities were placed on Concubine Xian.

Qianzong saw that the situation was not good, he couldn't let his beloved daughter who just came back suffer, and immediately slapped the table, "Concubine Xian, you are guilty, today is to welcome the eldest princess back to the palace, you still have to let the eldest princess do the painting, causing The queen mother is upset, you still haven't apologized to the queen mother and the eldest princess."

Everyone fell silent again.Everyone looked at Qian Zong in surprise, not only because of Qian Zong's obvious favoritism towards Yun Yuhong, but also because of Qian Zong's attitude towards Concubine Xian.This is in front of the Empress Dowager and Liu Xiang, using the concubine Xian as a beating son. It is the concubine Xian's face, but behind it is Qianzong's attitude towards the Liu family.Where did Ke Qianzong get his confidence?That is the Liu family, it can be said that it is the Liu family that holds half of Mo Yun's court.

Yun Yuhong also looked at Qian Zong. She thought that Qian Zong would speak for her, but she never thought that Qian Zong would be so stubborn. However, she was very happy to see Qian Zong's transformation. She could help her father to change. However, it may not be able to help the father to secure the throne.People will bully the weak and fear the strong, but a weak emperor cannot suppress his subjects or manage the country.Of course, this is not enough. A truly confident emperor would say: "This is my princess. She can draw whatever she likes. If I don't say anything, it won't be your turn to make irresponsible remarks." But at least I can't bear it. Yes, this is a good start.Is this the outbreak of fatherly love?It seems that the father will have to explode a few more times in the future.

The Queen Mother was also frightened.The emperor's son has never dared to refute her in person since he was a child, but now he dares to say that. This is not only a provocation to her, but also to the Liu family. But what made him dare to do this? Is the change in the situation in the court?How did he think that the Liu family would be in a weak position? What happened during this period?
Liu Xiang's heart also turned.What does Qianzong imply by coming here at this time?The emperor wanted to get rid of the control of the Liu family, or did he want to take the Liu family under his knife?No, no, I can't turn against Qian Zong in public. The current situation is not good for the Liu family. The Zhou and Yu families are staring at each other. The matter of the two sons in the family has not yet been resolved.

The Empress Dowager Liu Xiangchao shook her head lightly, interrupting the roar that the Empress Dowager was about to utter.The Empress Dowager swallowed, and said: "Forget it, what is the compensation, it's just a child's joke, Ai's family has a headache, go back and rest first, you can continue."

The queen mother suppressed her anger and found a reason to leave first.For the next thing, it doesn't matter if she's there or not, but Yun Yuhong is annoying to her even if she looks at her, so she just keeps out of sight.

The Queen Mother left, and the banquet was still going on, but everyone was obviously not in the mood anymore.After the meal, Qian Zong left with the men, leaving a group of women visiting the garden.
