Chapter Four Palace Banquet
No matter how much the Zhu family looks down on Zhu Wuyou, he still looks good on his face.
As a newlywed, it is understandable that Shen Bao wants to please her grandmother, but she should not be so hasty and act so superficially.
This was simply a handle that was delivered to her ready-made.
Zhu Wuyou smiled brightly and took the flower in her head happily.
Then he handed over the gift he had prepared.
"This is the Bingdilian purse I embroidered for my sister-in-law with my own hands. It's not worth much."
Shen Bian took it, nodded briefly, and then threw it directly to the maid behind him.
After acknowledging everyone, it’s a family dinner.
Zhu Wuyou was very discerning, so she excused herself from feeling unwell and went back, but no one stayed with her.
Back in Yilan Garden, Shaoyao was still angry.
Peony is ready for breakfast.
"I knew the lady wouldn't stay there to eat. What happened to Shaoyao? Who provoked you?"
"Who else could it be!"
Shaoyao said in a muffled voice: "They are not those people who bully and abuse our young lady. Even the eldest young lady humiliates our young lady. They give others ruby bracelets, but the one they give to our young lady is a flower on her head!"
Peony was surprised, "Sent it in front of everyone?"
Shaoyao: "You didn't give it in public, those maids all laughed at our young lady!"
Zhu Wuyou had already sat down to eat, looking happy.
Peony brings blessing to the soul, "This young lady is not very smart."
"Yes, we Peony are all smarter than her."
Zhu Wuyou praised, and then advised Shaoyao, "Okay, don't be angry, I guarantee that she will suffer a big loss because of this flower."
"real?"
"More real than pearls."
Shaoyao became happy again and happily served Zhu Wuyou to eat.
Zhu Wuyou shook his head.
This maid is not very shrewd, but she is good at not thinking too much and is a straightforward person.
After taking this trophy, Zhu Wuyou was thinking about how to use it, when the opportunity suddenly fell in front of him.
There is a flower viewing banquet to be held in the palace, and because of Princess Zhu, all the girls in the Zhu family are on the invitation list.
Including Zhu Wuyou.
After receiving the news, Zhu Wuyou smiled.
"Look, isn't this opportunity coming?"
Peony and Shaoyao were both very happy. Angel Jin went to great lengths to dress Zhu Wuyou up before entering the palace for the banquet.
I wish Wuyou will be beautiful, and I hope she will look like her grandmother.
Because when the old lady saw Zhu Wuyou every time, her eyes made her want to eat her.
The two maids are very skillful.
Although Zhu Wuyou didn't have many formal things to dress up, the flowers he packed for her were equally beautiful.
Her black hair was pulled into a fairy bun, and she didn't wear many headdresses. She only wore a butterfly-shaped jade bow and two plain silver hairpins.
The clothes are not too complicated. Shiba Fu's skirt is pink and pink, and she wears a green and silver coat.
Such simple clothes looked extremely beautiful on Zhu Wuyou.
Zhu Yuli’s eyes were almost on fire.
After all, he remembered what day it was, and he didn't look for trouble. He just gave Zhu Wuyou a hard look and got on the carriage.
Zhu Wuyou was about to get on the last carriage, but the nanny in front of the old lady stopped her specifically.
"Fourth Miss is smart. Today we have to distinguish priorities. The nobles in the palace are not easy to talk to. Remember to talk less and do less. Just enjoy the flowers."
This means that I am afraid that she will show her head.
Zhu Wuyou smiled and nodded, "I understand."
The main purpose of this flower viewing banquet was to select a candidate for the emperor's queen.
The little emperor is now eleven years old, and it is time for him to get engaged.
Therefore, many ladies were invited.
The Zhu family is not considered very wealthy, and is not particularly conspicuous among the ladies.
"You stay here for me and don't get close to the nobles."
Zhu Yuli warned.
I wish you a happy life: "Sister, just don't worry, I'll just enjoy the flowers."
Zhu Yuli was satisfied and walked away.
After she left, Zhu Wuyou took out the head flower given by Shen Xi from his arms, took it with him and walked towards the ladies.
Because of her good looks, many people have noticed her.
As soon as I got close, someone came over to talk to me.
"Which family does my sister belong to? I've never seen her before."
Zhu Wuyou bowed his head shyly, with an embarrassed look on his face, and whispered in a low voice: "I am from the Qingyang Marquis' residence."
The man suddenly realized.
It turned out to be from Concubine Zhu’s natal family.
She has seen both of the two legitimate daughters of the Zhu family, so this must be the fourth daughter who is the second daughter of a concubine, right?
The visitor's eyes flickered.
He looks really good, but it's a pity that his background is not good.
She smiled and said, "It turns out to be the fourth sister of the Zhu family. I haven't seen her before, so I didn't recognize her. Is this the first time?"
Zhu Wuyou pursed his lips and nodded.
Her head swayed from step to step, making the flower next to her look out of place.
"My name is Chen Sisi, my father is the young minister of Dali Temple."
Chen Sisi intentionally stayed to talk to Zhu Wuyou.
Zhu Wuyou hurriedly greeted, "Sister Chen."
Chen Sisi supported her and pointedly said: "The current Queen Mother likes to be popular and popular. I heard that she was humiliated by the late emperor's concubines with velvet flower headdresses in the past."
So everyone knows that the Queen Mother does not like velvet flower head flowers.
Why did Miss Zhu Si bring a flower into the palace?
Zhu Wuyou didn't understand her hint, he just covered his mouth and said in horror: "No wonder the Queen Mother doesn't like it."
This silly girl didn't understand the hint?
Chen Sisi was speechless.
Just be good people and do it to the end.
She was about to speak frankly about the hair bloom, but she never expected that the Queen Mother noticed Zhu Wuyou not far away.
There is no way, it is difficult for the Queen Mother not to notice.
I wish Wuyou was so beautiful that the Queen Mother could see her at a glance.
The Queen Mother has always liked handsome men and beautiful women.
"Whose family does that girl belong to? Please come over and talk."
The eunuch trotted over and asked Zhu Wuyou, "Girl, the Queen Mother, please come over and talk."
Chen Sisi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't even remind her.
Zhu Wuyou followed him with a shy and anxious look, knelt down with a big bow, and said hello in a crude way.
"My daughter, Zhu Wuyou, pays homage to the Queen Mother. She may live a thousand years in peace."
"Zhu Wuyou is the girl from Princess Zhu's natal family?"
The Queen Mother was smiling.
The little eunuch replied: "That's right, the girl who is the second wife of Princess Zhu's mother-in-law."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Raise your head and let Aijia have a look."
I wish Wuyou would be obedient and raise his head.
A pair of watery eyes with cut pupils like autumn water, clear and transparent, as if the stars in the sky have been rubbed into them.
She was delicate and delicate, staring at the Queen Mother with undisguised eagerness and curiosity.
The Queen Mother was elated when she saw her, pointing at her and saying: "This girl is very good-looking. I think she is much prettier than Princess Zhu back then!"
Zhu Wuyou bowed his head shyly.
No one saw the sudden turn of cold indifference on her face.
The current Queen Mother is a strange person.
She has always liked good-looking people, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they are good-looking, they are especially easy to talk to in front of her.
Those who had been trying to fawn over the Queen Mother for a long time without any results suddenly became jealous.
