After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide
Chapter 26 One government holds two banquets
But in fact, Shang Tingli knew very well that what happened to Ke Yishang was not entirely the result of her intervention. Before she wanted to intervene, the princess had already made changes.
After thinking for a while, Shang Tingli stopped worrying. Many things had changed quietly when he was reborn.
Is there anything that remains unchanged?
What's more, these changes are not bad things. On the contrary, they are beneficial to her. So if they have changed, then why do we have to have a reason?
Thinking of this, Shang Tingli wondered, "Since you are here to see Princess Baozhen, why don't you meet male guests?"
When I came here just now, there were only female guests, and no male guests were seen.
Ke Yichang replied, "Later on, cousin Baozhen will invite people to his house to hold a poetry gathering. He will bring people over to admire the lotus while reciting poems and writing couplets."
"This……"
Shang Tingli curled her lips and asked, "Two banquets in one government?" Actually, there have been precedents like this in Shangjing City, but - she asked, "Does everyone know about this?"
If we say that Young Master Xu was unaware of Second Miss Xu's lotus viewing banquet, or that Second Miss Xu was unaware of Young Master Xu's poetry gathering, it doesn't make sense that siblings would hold a banquet without informing each other in advance. Isn't that outrageous?
"How could you not know?"
Ke Yichang looked at her in surprise: "Sister-in-law, didn't you read Sister Jin Shu's post carefully? It's mentioned there."
"...Is that so? I guess I saw it." Shang Tingli smiled embarrassedly.
She was only thinking about the lotus viewing banquet and did not read the post carefully.
[Although I was not lucky enough to attend the banquet in my previous life, I also did not hear Yu Lanxi say that this was not only the lotus appreciation banquet of the second Miss Xu, but also the poetry gathering of the eldest Master Xu. Who could have thought that a poetry gathering would suddenly pop up? ]
Ke Yichang didn't dare to say how this poetry gathering came about, and only said, "To put it bluntly, the poetry gathering has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to care about it."
Shang Tingli nodded.
"By the way, you asked me before which family of young men in Beijing is the best?" She smiled awkwardly, "You should ask your eldest brother about that."
[How could I, an orphan with no one to rely on and who had to depend on my aunt for my life, know these things?]
Ke Yishang felt a little disappointed, but she knew that what her sister-in-law said was right.
【But I do know a few things.】
Ke Yishang's eyes suddenly lit up.
[The third young master of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is quite good. He will be a famous general in the future. It is said that he is famous for loving his wife.]
When Ke Yishang heard this, her face turned red and she was very embarrassed. After all, this man was on her date list before.
Shang Tingli was unaware that his thoughts had been heard, nor was he aware of the embarrassment of the girl next to him. He thought for a moment and said, "Although your elder brother..."
She paused, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth were extinguished. She changed her tone and said, "He should know the true nature of many young masters. Last time, he personally screened them and finally kept the names of the Third Young Master of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and the First Young Master He."
"So that's how it is." Ke Yishang looked surprised but calm in her heart.
If her eldest brother knew what kind of private characters the young masters in the capital were like, she would rather believe that he could actually hear his sister-in-law's thoughts.
The voices of people greeting each other could be heard: "Greetings to Princess Baozhen."
Shang Tingli looked over.
I saw a noble girl wearing a white vertical collar long gown, a cinnabar pleated skirt, and a small red gradient bodice, with a face like a lotus and a graceful figure, slowly stepping onto the small steps in front of the pavilion.
Behind her is Xu Jinshu.
Everyone greeted the noble lady.
The lady raised her hand: "No need to be polite."
"Baozhen."
"Spiritual essence."
The two sisters greeted each other and then put their hands together, looking very intimate.
The next moment, Ke Zhenzhen let go of Ke Yishang's hand, winked at Shang Tingli playfully, and said with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law, I am Baozhen."
Shang Tingli smiled back and greeted her, saying, "Princess Baozhen."
"You're too polite, sister-in-law." Ke Zhenzhen returned the greeting, "Just think of me as Ling Yun."
Shang Tingli smiled but said nothing.
The guests have all arrived and the banquet has officially begun. Maids present cold dishes one after another, including lotus cakes, mung bean cakes, cloud cakes, mint cakes, winter melons, red cherries, lung fruits... The dazzling array of dishes makes people's appetites increase.
Shang Tingli looked around at the people sitting in the pavilion. Regardless of whether they were married or unmarried, he didn't see anyone else except the young girl.
Just when she was puzzled, someone came over here in a hurry. It was a lady with a round face.
With a smile on her face, she said, "Ladies, do you mind if I join in the fun?"
She turned sideways, and the person behind her was exposed. She was a beautiful woman wearing a bright yellow long-sleeved gown and an official green horse-faced skirt, with a flat-needle embroidered peony cloud shoulder, with a gentle face, a dignified expression, and dignified and generous manners.
This is the current queen.
In his previous life, when Shang Tingli followed Ji Zhang into the palace to express gratitude, he had seen the empress several times, and he immediately bowed and greeted her like everyone else.
"Greetings to the Queen."
Queen Xu: "Stand up."
Everyone then stood up.
"Mother."
Ke Zhenzhen walked to Queen Xu and gently held her arm, "Come over here with me."
When they approached, Ke Yichang called out, "Auntie, Madam Xu."
Shang Tingli said: "Empress, Madam Xu."
Empress Xu looked at her with a gentle gaze: "I guess you are Xingchen's wife, you are so beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Shang Tingli knelt down.
Empress Xu said, "You are being too formal, aren't you? You are calling me aunt just like Xingchen."
Shang Tingli followed suit: "Yes, auntie."
Madam Xu greeted her and said, "Crown Princess."
If you still listen to the courtesy, you will return half the courtesy.
Empress Xu suddenly grabbed her hand and looked her up and down. There was a look in her eyes that she couldn't understand. She seemed to sigh, "You've grown so big."
"...Yes." Shang Tingli just let her look at him and responded.
In her previous life, when she first met the queen, there was also such a scene. She thought that the queen and her mother must have been old acquaintances. The children of old acquaintances who had not seen each other for many years had grown up and got married, which inevitably made people sigh that time always flies.
Empress Xu smiled and said, "She doesn't look like your mother, nor does she look like your father."
Shang Tingli: “Everyone says so.”
She really doesn't look like her father or her mother. If she wasn't equally pretty, she might have been mistaken for an adopted child by her parents.
After exchanging pleasantries, Empress Xu sat in Ke Zhenzhen's previous seat and said to everyone, "I heard that Jin Shu was holding a lotus viewing banquet today, so I thought of coming back to visit my relatives and join in the fun. Don't be restrained."
Since her arrival, no one dared to breathe heavily, and it is still the same now.
Madam Xu followed up: "It's a bit of a waste to just look at the lotus. How about we play some games?" Without waiting for anyone to reply, she said to Empress Xu: "Since your majesty is here to join in the fun, why don't you give us a prize?"
Queen Xu agreed immediately: "Yes."
"Aunt, there are rewards and punishments. What are the punishments?" Ke Zhenzhen was very interested.
Madam Xu thought for a moment and said, "How about making him eat a piece of raw Li Mengzi as punishment?"
