Chapter 20: Boring Palace Banquet(1/2)

On the other side, at the Prince Regent's Mansion, a father-in-law came in with a post in hand, and Jiang Jingwen quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"I've seen my father-in-law before. I wonder why my father-in-law is here this time?"

My father-in-law and I didn't dare to put on airs, so he spoke warmly in his voice.

"Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu have been admitted to the palace two days ago. The Queen would like to take this time to get together and talk. Speaking of which, are Concubine Xian and the Regent Princess sisters?"

"this?"

Butler Jiang didn't know whether to answer or not. Duan Qingqian had just recovered from her injuries from being kidnapped last time.

"Steward Jiang, are you in a bit of trouble?"

"I don't dare. It's just that the princess was frightened last time and her injuries were just fine. I don't dare to make the decision. Butler Jiang is drinking tea in the hall. I will go and ask the prince and princess for instructions."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Butler Jiang took the post and went to see An Yunmo first.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has sent a message to the Princess."

An Yunmo took it over and looked at it, and suddenly thought of Duan Qingqian, who was extremely quiet these days. He was afraid that she would get sick from boredom, and only her temperament could endure it.

"Take it and ask the princess for instructions. If the princess goes, send a few more guards to follow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the attic where Duan Qingqian is located, Duan Qingqian is sitting on the corridor on the second floor at this time, supporting her chin with her hand, lazily watching the people in the courtyard below who are busy coming in and out. She has been there these days.

Walking around the house, she became familiar with the whole house and got to know everyone.

An Yunmo would come over to see her every day at first, and sometimes have dinner with her. There was no change between them, they were still as respectful as before.

Duan Qingqian saw Butler Jiang below and rolled her eyes, looking for her? Butler Jiang didn't come to her yard very often. Grandma Sun and Grandma Shi came here every day.

Duan Qingqian stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, and walked downstairs. Xiao Xin was about to go upstairs to report to Duan Qingqian, but when he turned around, he saw that Duan Qingqian had come down.

"princess."

The maids saluted one after another, and Butler Jiang also stepped forward to salute.

"I've met the princess."

"No courtesy, Butler Jiang, but something happened?"

Duan Qingqian looked at the post in Jiang Jingwen's hand, and Jiang Jingwen handed it out.

"Princess, this is the invitation from the Queen."

Duan Qingqian took it and looked at it, "What did the prince say?"

"The prince said it is up to the princess to decide."

"Okay, I'll come change my clothes."

Duan Qingqian thought that since she married An Yunmo, she had never gone out. An Yunmo had given her enough face, so the servants naturally did not dare to bully her. They would do whatever she said. She started from one thing

The poor lady who had to do everything by herself became a delicate princess who opened her mouth and stretched out her hands for food. Everything she did before seemed ridiculous and foolish here.

She wanted to embroider, and the maid said that there was someone who specialized in embroidery, and the embroidery was better than hers. She said she wanted to kill time, and the maid brought a lot of things to embroider, and what kind An Yunmo liked.

Color, embroidering a purse or something for him, to embroider it like this or that, Duan Qingqian just covered her face, there is an attentive elder Grandma Sun who just can't help it, she has no intention of embroidering it for An Yunmo, she wants to embroider it herself

I wanted to embroider something, but I had no choice but to give up.

When she wanted to cook, a large group of people in the kitchen helped her, saying that she could just talk from the side without having to do anything. She cooked a few dishes by herself. Aunt Sun and Aunt Shi were also thinking about An Yunmo. She

It was not easy to eat alone, so she had to ask him to join her, which made her feel bored again. After the meal, people would consciously pack away their things.

She wanted to write and read, but they were much quieter and didn't say anything, but she felt bored even when she was writing. Life lies in exercise. Since marrying into the Regent's Palace, some of her usual exercises have stopped, and she has been doing it every day since then.

When she walked around the mansion, she thought she was going to the park. Now that the Queen had invited her, she should go and have a look, otherwise she would really get sick from boredom.

Duan Qingqian finished dressing and followed her father-in-law into the carriage, which drove slowly towards the palace.

In the Fengyi Hall of the Imperial Palace, Duan Qingqian looked gentle and had no temper. She followed her father-in-law into the Fengyi Hall.

Fengyi Hall is the palace of Queen Liu Ruyun, and also the palace of Queens of all dynasties.

"The Princess Regent has arrived."

When he saw Duan Qingqian approaching from a distance at the door, his father-in-law raised his voice and shouted.

In Fengyi Hall, Liu Ruyun heard this shout and smiled slightly, "The regent princess has arrived. I thought I couldn't invite her?"

When Duan Qingli heard that Duan Qingqian was coming, she still sat in her seat eating and drinking. When she entered the palace these two days, the emperor was very kind to her. Although there were many rules in the palace, she was still very happy.

Liu Ruyun looked at Duan Qingli, a little dissatisfied. Duan Qingli took away the emperor's heart as soon as she came in. Liu Ruyun looked at Duan Qingli with a smile but said.

"Xianfei, the Princess Regent is your sister after all, why don't you get up to greet her?"

Duan Qingli glanced at Liu Ruyun, reluctant to say so.

"Yes, empress."

Before entering the palace, her parents had confessed that Liu Ruyun was the queen after all. She must not refute her face in front of everyone or let the emperor think that she was an ignorant woman. She mainly wanted to capture the emperor's heart. Liu Ruyun's natal family

Now she has no rights, and she may not know who will become the queen in the future. Her most important thing is to capture the emperor's heart and give birth to an heir for him as soon as possible.

Duan Qingli stood up and walked towards the door. After all, she didn't have such deep intentions. Liu Ruyun could see that Duan Qingli was perfunctory.

Duan Qingli was a little reluctant to greet Duan Qingqian, and Duan Qingqian was used to it.

"Sister, you are here."

"Well, long time no see. Now my sisters are both good concubines. Congratulations."

"snort."

Duan Qingli turned back to her seat proudly.

Some low-ranking concubines saluted Duan Qingqian one after another. Duan Qingqian was the regent's concubine, so she deserved this gift. Duan Qingqian nodded, unfazed.

Liu Ruyun looked at the gentle Duan Qingqian in front of her and felt a little sullen. Duan Qingqian was better than she thought. She had never been in contact with Duan Qingqian before. She couldn't even remember what she looked like. She just listened to the rumors outside.

She has a strong temper, and she is a concubine. She thinks she should be like Zhou Yinghong, who is not good-looking and has an uncontrollable temper, or she is the kind who is scheming and resentful, but

Now I don't see anything like that. Instead, I look generous, virtuous and virtuous.

Liu Ruyun still maintained her posture, without showing her inner thoughts at all, and smiled.

"The Princess Regent is here, please take a seat."

Duan Qingqian nodded slightly and went to the empty seat next to him. Xiao Xin and Xiao Tang were waiting respectfully behind.

"This time I invite you all here just to get acquainted with each other. The emperor chose a few new people a few days ago, and the princes have also added some to their palaces. The emperor and the princes have the same ancestry and the same origin. We should be

The wife also has to stay close to her, right? To avoid having any children."

"Yes, my dear."

Li Yubi, the royal concubine of Prince Jia An Yunshuo, responded positively to Liu Ruyun.

Prince Kang's concubine An Yunyao also replied, "No, fortunately the queen invites us to meet her from time to time. We rarely see her on weekdays."

Some of the concubines below also replied, "No."

Liu Ruyun smiled and said, "As long as you don't get bored. I heard that Princess Jia once attracted Prince Jia with a song. Princess Jia's singing voice was clear and sweet. Did you know about this?"

Li Yubi covered her mouth and laughed softly, "It's all about the prince promoting his concubines. There is no singing voice. It's just a few random lines."

An Yunyao's side concubine responded softly, "How is this a compliment? My sister was lucky enough to hear it before. It was so clear and sweet that she will never forget it."

"My sister is laughing."

"I heard that Princess Kang is good at cooking, but we are not as good at cooking the same ingredients as Princess Kang. I wonder how Princess Kang cooks on weekdays?"

"I see that the prince has lost his appetite. He just changed some tricks. I can't say he is proficient."

Everyone was talking back and forth, and finally the topic turned to the Empress Liu Ruyun.

"If you ask me, no matter how much we know, we are not as good as the Queen. Back then, the Queen was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing and cooking, not to mention horseback riding and archery."

"That's right, that's right, we all have made a fool of ourselves."

Liu Ruyun felt a little arrogant and smiled, "Where, where."

Duan Qingqian listened to their chat quietly without saying anything. Liu Ruyun suddenly changed her mind and looked at Duan Qingqian and asked.

"The Princess Regent doesn't say anything, but how can I not entertain you well?"

Duan Qingqian quickly replied, "No, you guys were talking and I was listening."

If Duan Qingqian knew it was so boring, she shouldn't have come. It would be much more pleasant to just hang out with flowers and plants in the house.

"We've finished talking. I wonder if the Princess Regent can share with you how she got the Prince Regent's favor?"

When Duan Qingqian heard this, she understood that the Empress was just curious about why An Yunmo would marry her. She was not the only one who was curious, but many people were too, because as a concubine, she was not worthy of being the regent's wife.

Duan Qingqian looked like he was thinking seriously and said calmly.

"I don't know that either, the prince didn't tell me."

The scene was a bit awkward, Liu Ruyun smiled.
