Chapter 323 Nobility
The steward of Cining Palace brought Sima Yan a favor rewarded by the Queen Mother, and sent a message: "The Queen Mother promised to let the fourth princess and Princess Yue go out of the palace to attend the Plum Blossom Banquet, but Princess Yue
I was shocked the day before yesterday
The fourth princess has always been in and out with Princess Yue, so she will not come. In addition, Princess Qi will come to the palace today to express her gratitude, and will come back later. She also requested that the plum blossom banquet at Duke An Guo's Mansion be postponed a little.
.”
The wife of Prince Anguo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That's natural. Princess Qi came to the palace to express her gratitude and was still thinking about the plum blossom banquet at Duke Anguo's mansion. It's really an honor for us. Thank you for telling me, mama." After saying this, she shook hands.
He took the nanny's hand and stuffed a purse under the cover of her wide sleeves.
Concubine Ma was very considerate to her daughter-in-law-to-be, and gave her three treasures as New Year gifts. The most important of them was a three-foot-tall red coral tree, which was bright red and in full swing. It was a rare and precious thing.
However, at this time, Princess Yan was not in the mood to appreciate the red coral. The words of the nun in charge of Cining Palace were constantly swirling in her mind. On the one hand, she was glad that Xia Shuyao was finally "aware of etiquette", but on the other hand, she felt aggrieved by the Queen Mother's "partiality".
.
As long as Xia Shuyao is informed that she will come, Duke Anguo will naturally wait until she arrives before holding a banquet. After all, her identity is there. But being so obvious and asking to postpone the banquet in public is simply announcing Xia Shuyao's distinguished status and "very favored" status.
Status. Even she, the "Princess Yan" who grew up in front of the Queen Mother, cannot disrespect "Princess Qi".
As soon as the two palace ladies left, the guests immediately became lively, whispering to each other about "Princess Qi".
Many uninformed guests, including Concubine Zhao and her daughter, as well as Mrs. Chen and the third girl Chen Yueying from the Chengyi Mansion. They had long been secretly wondering, when did Princess Qi appear? And she still has such a big reputation!
Cining Palace sent someone over to ask Duke Anguo to postpone the banquet?
Those who can be invited to participate in the Plum Blossom Banquet are mostly the matrons and legitimate daughters of well-known families, and they are all familiar with royal titles (so as not to accidentally offend the nobles). Among the titles of the Princess of Dazhou, the most noble one is the title that symbolizes jewelry and jade.
There are currently only three of them, Princess Yue from Prince Yong's Mansion, Princess Zhen, the eldest daughter of Prince Qi, and the newly minted Princess Qi.
Qi Yuexin is particularly sensitive to the status of "princess princess", and she will not ask. As the eldest lady of Prince Yong's palace, she is not a direct descendant. Just because of this short step, she will never become the princess.
Chen Yueying approached Ma Ling'er and asked cautiously: "Sister Ling'er, who is Princess Qi?"
Ma Ling'er frowned slightly, what happened to this person? I told her. Stop calling her "Sister Ling'er", or "Mrs. Yu", or just "Ling'er". Chen Yueying agreed.
Ma Ling'er's eighth uncle is engaged. In the future, Ma Ling'er will call her eighth aunt. Even though she hasn't entered the house yet, she can no longer call her "Sister Ling'er". Wouldn't it mess up the generational hierarchy?
Ma Ling'er didn't understand why her husband-in-law asked her to match up her eighth uncle with Chen Yueying, but it happened that her eighth uncle really liked such a fleshy, innocent woman. Humph. At best, she was naive, at worst, she was just stupid.
Alas, this was not the time to teach her a lesson. Ma Ling'er suppressed the disgust in her eyes and replied: "The girl from the Yongping Marquis Mansion was just personally named Princess Qi by the emperor yesterday. Don't forget to give her the title of Princess Qi later."
Salute." She really wanted to remind Chen Yueying. Sometimes this person is really...well, it would be better not to embarrass the Ma family.
Chen Yueying almost exclaimed. Fortunately, she was not stupid enough. She quickly reached out and covered her mouth, speaking softly: "Why? Why should she..." It was her mother, Mrs. Chen, who covered her mouth this time. Why?
Just because the emperor is willing, is it possible that he still needs permission from them? This silly daughter actually "questioned" the emperor in public? Although Mrs. Chen also wanted to know what happened, could she ask this question?
Concubine Zhao and her daughter also heard that Princess Qi, Princess Qi, and Xia Shuyao actually sealed Princess Qi? Concubine Zhao really wanted to curse God.
A young woman standing not far behind Chen Yueying heard Chen Yueying's "Why?" and glanced at her contemptuously: "Princess Qi is a woman who is not inferior to men. She bravely fought against assassins in critical moments and saved His Majesty. What do you think?
Why?"
When everyone heard this, they knew that this person was an insider and hurriedly gathered around to inquire. Yongdou? They had never heard that the Xia family girls knew martial arts?
It so happened that the young woman's husband happened to be a leader of the imperial guards who accompanied the emperor on the hunting trip. He roughly understood the process and showed off proudly.
Everyone was sighing, but when they thought about Princess Qi's father who was once the number one arrester in the world, and her eldest brother was the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs, they felt relieved. It was just curious that Princess Qi looked delicate, delicate, and elegant.
Not like those who practice martial arts.
Concubine Zhao and her daughter were completely shocked. How could they save the emperor? From now on, not to mention Qi Haoning's pampering, even the Queen Mother and Prince Yong would not treat Xia Shuyao as a treasure? Where is their place in the palace? Also, Xia Shuyao
Know martial arts? Then they...
Everyone was talking about it, and the maid who welcomed the guests loudly announced: "Princess Qi is here---"
The female family members of Duke Anguo's mansion hurriedly led all the guests to greet them. There was no way, there was no one present who had a higher rank and a more noble status than Shuyao. She was Princess Qi who enjoyed the imperial salary.
Sima Yan really regretted posting to Shuyao at this moment, but she clenched her fists, and there was still a chance. She still had the chance to compete with Xia Shuyao in a glorious way today and take back the limelight.
Shuyao is wearing orange-yellow princess palace attire today (only titled princesses have specially regulated palace attire), with a dark purple wide belt tied around her waist, highlighting her slim and beautiful figure, giving people a
A feeling of elegance and luxury, wearing a white fox
The fur cloak has a circle of white pearls around the neckline, and the flowing light is flowing. The black hair is inlaid with precious silk, holding the pearls, and the golden phoenix steps are lightly raised, and between the forehead is a lotus carved from luminous pearls, shining faintly. Apply a little light makeup, and the skin
Like gelatin, the whole person exudes a noble aura from the inside out.
Among the people present, those who had seen Shu Yao An sighed that Princess Qi's temperament was indeed ever-changing. She was usually elegant and noble, but today she was so noble that it was difficult to look directly at her. It was not at all the magnanimity that an ordinary thirteen-year-old girl could possess;
Those who have never seen Shuyao feel at first glance that she is "beautiful but graceful". As for their emotions after the second glance, everyone is different.
Shuyao really didn't want to dress up in such a "superior" way to make others jealous, but it was inevitable to wear clothes when entering the palace today to express gratitude, and it would be too pretentious to go back to the Marquis Mansion to change clothes after coming out of the palace. (
