Chapter 11 Layout
Qing Jin has moved into his house for a while. The neighbors only knew that the house had been bought and renovated, but it was rare for the owner of the house to come out to walk around. After asking, he found out that the lady living in the second house of Bai Mansion was a lady.
I even found out why I lived here, and then I thought that the second master’s filial piety period had not passed yet, so it was normal for him not to go out.
Recently, the imperial city is still very lively. More and more scholars from all over the country came to take the enrollment exam, and various poetry parties and flower banquets were becoming more and more frequent. The ladies in the boudoir who never went out also showed their talents and met talents.
But the most eye-catching thing recently was that Princess Yonghe returned to the palace and held the Qinghe autumn banquet after the 17th August. As soon as the news came out, the imperial city became even more lively, and talented men and beautiful women were eagerly looking forward to getting an invitation to the banquet.
If you want to say that the eldest princess is also a legendary figure, the only sister of the current emperor Emperor Yongyuan. At that time, he was also famous all over the world. He had to be talented, be handsome, have power, and have whatever he wanted. Emperor Yongyuan was able to ascend the throne smoothly, which was related to her. When the late emperor was alive, he loved the eldest princess very much, and Emperor Yongyuan was seven or eight years younger than this sister. Their mother passed away earlier, and they all had to take care of the eldest sister and helped to earn the pity of the late emperor, so that he had the opportunity to perform and finally ascend to the throne step by step.
Of course, Emperor Yongyuan also respected this elder sister very much. The elder sister was like her mother, and she was the only person in the world whom Emperor Yongyuan truly respected. It can be said that he would respond to all requests. When the late emperor was alive, he looked at the eldest princess with countless marquis and princes. The eldest princess did not nod, and he was also favored. Seeing that he was getting older, the eldest princess did not recruit a princess, and the princesses below rushed forward in a hurry. Finally, the queen and the concubines persuaded her, and the late emperor made up his mind and pointed her a princess. Even Xu Changshu, the eldest son of Duke Xu at that time, had the imperial edict, and the eldest princess could only accept it.
If we say that Xu Changshu is also elegant and talented, he is also the eldest son. In the future, Chengjue will be the youngest prince and is also a match with the eldest princess. The wedding was a sensation. After the marriage, the two of them were harmonious and the last emperor was relieved. Who would have thought that two years after the wedding, the eldest princess had nothing to do, but a cousin who stayed in the duke's house had broken her pregnancy first. The cousin could tolerate and was able to coax Xu Changshu to secretly raise her outside. When the child landed, he took the child into the mansion and asked the princess to come.
Such a thing happened, the eldest princess, who had always been gentle, did not cry or make a fuss. She sent a letter to the emperor without saying a word. The eldest princess was greatly humiliated. The first princess was angry and took the eldest princess back to the palace. Duke Xu, who was scolded by the emperor with an old face, was so angry that he didn't care about it and wanted to kill his unscrupulous son, but was stopped by his own mother. The Duke's wife cried and wanted to kill her son and kill her first... A farce came and she was just sent away the cousin, but the child was the flesh and blood of the Xu family's relatives, and she was born. You can't strangle him to death. The emperor held his breath and could only persuade the eldest princess to go back.
Who knew that the eldest princess, who had always been polite and sensible, did not say a word, and moved out with a few people around her when she returned to the Duke's Mansion. Even though Xu Changshu became Duke's wife, she, the Duke's wife, never returned to the Duke's Mansion and rarely attended any major events.
The Qinghe Qiu Banquet was held when the eldest princess was not married yet. It has never been held since she did not organize it. Because it was different from the general banquet, but the emperor was here. Most people really couldn't afford such a banquet.
At this autumn banquet, both men and women have the opportunity to show their talents, and the rules are not as many as formal banquets in the palace. Men and women are on the same table and sit on both sides. Besides, the people come here are talented, powerful and famous. Since ancient times, aren’t the rules set by people? The opportunity to see the beauty is not always available. If you can take the opportunity to win favor, or have a good future or a good marriage, it is possible.
Qing Jin was holding the invitation card in one hand and looking at Qin Yuexi's letter in the other hand, and listening to Uncle Li talking about Qinghe Qiu Banquet and which princess was about.
Ya'er was the happiest. She listened with relish and was just the only thing she could do was melon seeds, peanuts and sesame tea.
"Miss, this invitation sent by the prince... are you going?" Uncle Li asked uncertainly. Qingjin's temperament did not like these lively things, but Uncle Li was itchy, as if he had hidden a treasure that outsiders didn't know. He wished that the whole world would know the goodness of his lady. Seeing that the lady was married to the same age, the children would be there.
Ya'er also looked at Qingjin. Just listening was even more exciting than listening to the opera. I wonder how the eldest princess is now, is she still hating her lover...
Qing Jin looked at the date and just passed the filial piety period. The arrangement was just right. He knew that it was almost the prince who had to pay the bill, so he put down the letter and said, "Don't go." She just waited for the collection.
When Uncle Li and Ya'er heard this, they both looked like they knew it would have been so excited.
At the same time, those who are qualified to receive the invitations have also been received, and those who have not received can only sigh. Of course, those ladies and young masters who are famous outside have also attracted more attention.
The eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion was naturally also invited, and Luo Lixun was sitting in the Prince's Mansion with an invitation at this moment.
"Your Highness, the company princess, has been invited out. It seems that this year's autumn test will be very lively."
Qin Yuexi smiled and took the invitation in his hand and looked at it, saying, "Wu Shuang Young Master will not go, will it disappoint many people to return?" After that, he put the invitation on the table.
"It doesn't matter whether I go or not, I just don't know whether Your Highness's creditor will go." Luo Lixun ignored his joke.
"Why, Master Luo has nothing to do today, have you come to this palace to wander around?" Qin Yuexi avoided answering. He sent the letter, and he didn't know whether he would go or not. It seemed that he hadn't seen him for some days, and she was in a hurry to ask for debts.
Luo Lixun looked at Qin Yuexi and said, "It seems that your highness, the creditor, is so calm. Li Qiushi only has fifteen days."
"A Xun, I heard that my creditor was happy to move in. How about congratulations on August 17th?" He went to pay off his debts.
Luo Lixun naturally agreed that it should be more interesting than the Qinghe Qiu Banquet. "In three days, go together. Your Highness. Lord Geng, who was sent by the Ministry of War to supervise the transportation of grain this time, is the King Jing's person, so Your Highness should be careful."
"He has always been cautious and transporting grain is of great importance. No matter how bold and reckless he is, he will not make any move on this matter."
After hearing Qin Yuexi say this, Luo Lixun also felt a little over-concerned. Jing Wang Yin endured for so many years and would never let himself fall into such a situation.
He was just worried and said, "In the past few years, the Ministry of War has been in and out, and they have been respecting the king. The emperor clearly said that he is a technique of weighing the trade-offs, but over time, he is afraid that he will leave disasters." The art of emperors has always been like this since ancient times, but the country and the country cannot withstand the torture.
Qin Yuexi also knew that it was just that he followed the rules and had no faults. How could he not know about his father's thoughts? Although he did not have the idea of Yi Chu, he could not stand the dominance of his family and threatened his rights. He shook his head, thinking that these things were useless, and they would never let them harm this great land.
"Let's go, it's rare that you come here today and accompany me to meet the teacher." Only then did the last key figure who returned to Qinghe Qiu Banquet have been foolproof.
"Teacher Zhong?" Luo Lixun still respected the tutor very much and stood up and followed him.
The two left the study room and walked to the corridor and met the Crown Princess Jing Xiruo walking towards them. After seeing Li, Qin Yuexi and Luo Lixun were about to leave, but the Crown Princess spoke.
"Your Highness, you will have a banquet in Qinghe in three days. I wonder if your Highness will tell you, so I'll make an arrangement earlier."
The light pink palace outfit has a bit of elegant temperament. The wide skirt is winding behind her, elegant and luxurious, with beautiful eyes flowing brightly, and a faint smile always rippled between her red lips. This is the first time that the prince's first talented woman, now the crown princess, has seen him. Last time the prince's wedding, he happened to miss something.
Qin Yuexi has always been unfaithful about these things, and waved his hand and said, "You can do it all, please don't bother the princess." After that, he left with Luo Lixun.
"Great to see Your Highness." The Crown Princess did not bother her. She just came to remind her today that as long as she went, she would be done.
Luo Lixun glanced at the Crown Princess, then followed Qin Yuexi, and thought to himself that it was really a ruthless way to fall flowers.
