Chapter 292 Birthday
Princess Jiaqing invited girls about her age when she was born. The people who came to the banquet were those who used to be, and there was nothing strange about them.
Because it was a banquet held by Princess Jiaqing, the place they went to was not the palace. The emperor had long awarded the princess's mansion for Jiaqing to live, so this banquet was held outside the palace.
Yan Ning and the others put down the gifts they brought and went to sit aside.
They were at this time except in the back garden of the Princess Mansion. This garden was said to have been built specifically to the large one when the Princess Mansion was built, so it was very wide and didn't feel crowded.
After sitting down for a while, I heard the princes coming outside. Because the female guest and the male guest were in the front and back yards, they did not meet each other, so they were exempted from the etiquette.
But in a moment, the princes and concubines came together. The emperor's son actually got married quite late. Except for the first three princes, the other princes did not marry.
The eldest princess is the Princess Yong'an. She has always been arrogant and domineering. Because of her identity as Princess Southern Tang, even though she had married to the Great Zhou Dynasty, she did not have the so-called local customs, but was as arrogant as ever. However, her years of married life also played some role. Yan Ningxian can see that Princess Yong'an no longer has the vitality of the previous years. Although her personality is as domineering as ever, she always feels unconfidence.
The second prince's concubine is from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but her family background is obviously not outstanding. The second prince has been as low-key as ever for many years, and even the prince's concubine he married is not outstanding. He is the daughter of the second prince's mother, Concubine Lin's mother's family.
The second prince's concubine, Lin Ruyu, is famous in the capital, but the Lin family only has a fifth-rank civil servant and his family background is not obvious, so the second prince's concubine has never had any sense of existence among the prince's concubines.
The third prince is the crown prince. He married not the daughter of the Feng family, but the daughter of the Prime Minister Wang family. Prime Minister Wang's daughter was personally granted marriage by the emperor. I heard that the empress originally ordered the prince to be the daughter of the Feng family, but later for some reason, it was the daughter of the Wang family.
Because the fourth prince had been forced to become a monk for a long time, there was no mention of getting married. Except for these few people, none of the remaining princes had got married.
When several princes came in, the atmosphere changed significantly, and everyone here stood up to salute.
"Okay, get up, don't be too restrictive. Today is Jiaqing's birthday. Don't ignore our birthday boy." Princess Yong'an spoke first, laughing and let everyone get up.
Princess Yong'an did not react much. Anyway, she has always been an invisible person and is on the same route as the second prince. However, the faces of the Crown Princess and Princess Jiaqing were slightly wrong.
There are all human spirits here, and no one can misjudgment the expressions of the superiors, even if this expression only stays on the faces of the two people for a moment and is hidden.
The others beat him up and fooled him, leaving only rumors of disagreement between several princes and concubines for others.
Logically speaking, in the royal family, the state gifts are first and family gifts. The one who is in the limelight should be the Crown Princess. Even if the Crown Princess is unwilling, it is not the turn of the Crown Princess to show off herself.
Princess Yong'an did this, not only surpassing the Crown Princess, but also surpassing Princess Jiaqing. Princess Jiaqing and the prince's mother were already in the same hatred as the Crown Princess. In addition, her birthday was passed by Princess Yong'an, so her face naturally looked bad.
Yan Ning and the others went to the pavilion next to the pool, and Gu Jingyin was also here, so they naturally stayed.
