Although it was the first time to host the palace banquet, Gu Qingyi had attended the palace banquet of Empress Dowager Xi before. At that time, Empress Dowager Xi was the queen. Although she didn't attend many times, she knew the process.

Gu Qingyi looked at everyone and gave a high-sounding and sincere speech at the beginning, and had a friendly conversation with all wives, mainly asking the elders at home if they were good and telling about the care of His Majesty and the Queen for them.

Gu Qingyi is familiar with this kind of thing. After all, he grew up in Huikang. Not to mention anything else, he memorized the genealogy of each family. This is a must-do homework for every girl in aristocratic family.

Memorizing family genealogy was once the most annoying homework for Gu Qingyi, but it was an indispensable skill for every girl from aristocratic family to survive.

Just like now, when she talks to every wife, she can easily praise the great figure in her ancestors who made any contributions. When she mentions the juniors in the family, she can also answer the words in time, telling the excellence of the young men and girls in each family. No matter which character she mentioned, unless she has no sense of existence, Gu Qingyi can basically follow it.

As a result, everyone agreed with her as the queen. In the past, everyone didn't know much about the Gu girl. The most famous thing was that she was resigned from the marriage by King Dingbei, especially because she was crowned as a fool by King Dingbei, so many people thought that Gu Qingyi was really an ignorant person.

But now it seems that this is not the case. Empress Gu spoke appropriately and kindly, and respected the elders of each family. She praised the glory of each family.

You tell me that such a person is a fool?

The girls in their family are also willing to make such idiots.

Except for Mrs. Li who lowered her head to drink tea without looking at everyone's eyes, the others were really looking at Mrs. Fu at this time.

After all, the source of this idiot name was Fu Lanyun's helping to fuel the fire. It's really good, and it fooled everyone!

Mrs. Fu is very frustrated. How can she explain such a thing?

She couldn't explain.

She knew that Fu Lanyun and Gu Qingyi were serious about it. In the early years, who would have taken the Gu family seriously. The Gu family had a reputation, but the late emperor kept suppressing the Gu family, but the Gu family shrank its neck and became a turtle. Who would look up to such a family?

She thought that the Gu family was like this, and her daughter didn't like Gu Qingyi to teach her a lesson. But who knew that the Gu family could have the luck of today, and who knew that the Gu family was so hidden so deeply.

Moreover, because my daughter had already learned a lesson from the incident back then, she was trapped in the He family and couldn't get rid of it. She was no longer able to take out her daughter. Why are these people watching her do this?

Mrs. Fu was full of resentment, but she didn't dare to show it at this time.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was always lukewarm with the Fu family. Fortunately, his husband was very stable in the position of the Minister of the Duzhi. Mrs. Fu cannot cause trouble now. If someone catches the handle to attack her husband, Aunt Pei is already very arrogant in the mansion. If she makes a mistake, Aunt Pei will definitely catch her and suppress her hard.

Mrs. Fu would never allow such a thing to happen, so even if everyone looked at her with bad eyes, she was still as motionless as the wind.

Gu Qingyi sat above and swept over Mrs. Fu, and was also impressed. Such resistance to strikes is really something that ordinary people can do.

As for Pei Yunsong who was farther apart, if Gu Qingyi didn't talk to her, she wouldn't even have the chance to speak at this banquet. I'm afraid Pei Yunsong would feel even more humiliated as such a slap in the face, which can be regarded as a return to the lessons she taught her bad actions to herself several times.

The topic talked about a paragraph, and Gu Qingyi then asked someone to have a banquet. The delicious food in various glassware was sent into the hall in the hands of the palace maids who were swaying.

It was popular to eat at separate tables, so everyone had their own food table in front of them. Looking at the delicacies delivered by the palace maids and the colorful glass bowls, everyone was quite surprised.

They naturally know that it is quite decent for any item made of glass.

But now it is surprising to see the tables full of Liuliwan Station as food utensils.

Is the queen so extravagant?

Among them, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yuan were the ones who were most calm, and Mrs. Zheng was certainly not very surprised.

After the glass workshop in Huzhou was running, the Li family and the Gu family did not talk about their in-laws, but only had the friendship between Qingyi and Li Chaying, so she asked someone to give Mrs. Li a complete set of glassware.

Not to mention the Yuan family and the Zheng family, Yuan Shuo was in charge of the glazed workshop, and Zheng Huan was the foundation stone of the Yuzhou unimaginable bricks, so they naturally would not lack good things, because the Zheng family and the Yuan family naturally did not lack these.

Others don’t know, but they know where these things come from. The queen is very capable.

Otherwise, why would Zheng Hong be so excited that he would temporarily hide in prison to avoid the limelight? The Zheng family is now brainwashed by Zheng Huan for a long time, and now the mentality of boycotting the new emperor and the new queen is still slightly different from other aristocratic families.

Mrs. Zheng looked up at Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Yuan looked down at the exquisite glass on the table like others, as if she was shocked.

When Mrs. Zheng saw it, she lowered her head. Forget it, it would be useless to think too much.

Only Mrs. Li smiled slightly and said slowly: "My wife once heard that the glass comes from overseas. Some people say that it is extremely rare. My wife had a small glass bowl in her home before, which was placed like a treasure, but it was far from the glass used by the empress, both in color and in style. I don't know where the glass came from. My wife also wanted to buy a few pieces and take them home for use. It would make me feel happy just by looking at it."

Mrs. Zheng:...

Mrs. Yuan:...

The two of them understood something in an instant. The queen was probably holding a banquet today for this Liuli!

The queen has a glass workshop. She uses glass bowls and cups to treat guests today. I am afraid that using glass from tomorrow will become Huikang’s most popular thing.

When Mrs. Li carried the sedan chair for the queen like this, the two families had different relationships.

Mrs. Zhong, who had been silent, looked up at her mother-in-law. Her Qilang and Li Chaying had a marriage, so they naturally had a good relationship with the Li family, but what did Mrs. Li say this mean?

Mrs. Zhong didn't quite understand, but she was sure that Mrs. Li was not a nonsense person, and she would definitely have plans for her words.

Mrs. Li spoke first, and other wives agreed, smilingly praising the glass bowl, and naturally asked where the glass came from.

Although the aristocratic families have many frictions with the new emperor, they are not inconsistent with everything. Who doesn’t like these beautiful and exquisite little things?

"There is a start to go out of the Western Regions. It is said that the craftsmanship is complicated and the finished product is very rare. It is amazing that the Empress can bring out so many guests. Since the war broke out, the business journey between the Western Regions and the Great Jin Dynasty has been cut off. I don't know where the Empress got these things, and the little girl also wants to buy some and use them."

Gu Qingyi looked at Pei Yunsong who was talking after hearing this. She had been waiting for Pei Yunsong to hold back and spoke. At this time, she finally arrived.

"Is the process very complicated? I don't know."

When Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yuan heard the queen's words, they were shocked. They looked up and glanced at the queen and saw that the queen smiled sincerely, as if they had no idea that the glass workshop in Yuzhou was hers.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't hold it in anymore this time, so she looked up at Mrs. Yuan. The two of them looked at each other and knew that today's banquet was probably another plan, and the queen was going to make trouble.

Whether it was Zheng Huan or Yuan Shuo, they were on the Queen's boat, and the two ladies could not really ignore their son. Besides, even if Liuli cherished it and was expensive, it was just a common small object. It seemed that lifting the Queen was not a big deal at this time.

It's just to contribute to my son.

Mrs. Zheng said first: "The Empress is in charge of palace affairs and affairs, so how can such trivial matters bother the Empress? If Girl Pei wants to know about Liuli, she might as well go to the supervisor to ask."

"What Mrs. Zheng said is that I will definitely know very well about these things." Mrs. Yuan followed, "I heard that Fengxing Huikang's recent woodblock printing is about to be used as a supervisor, which shows that many people will be used as a supervisor."

What's going on?

What are Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yuan doing?

Pei Yunsong didn't expect the two of them to speak. He was stunned for a moment before he slowly spoke: "It is a yamen built by the imperial court, and it is not something that ordinary people can go at will."

The manager is the one who will be the supervisor. This is the right-hand man who is the most trustworthy of His Majesty. When he goes to him, he will be disappointed.

"How could Ms. Pei be someone else? If you go to ask, even if you are looking at Mr. Pei, Lord Mu will tell you one or two." Mrs. Li said with a light smile.

Mrs. Zhong looked at this and that with her eyes, she always felt that there was something she didn't know about. This feeling was very bad.

Mrs. Xi sat next to Mrs. Zhong. She had a good relationship with Mrs. Zhong on weekdays. She was a little confused at this time. She turned her head and asked softly at Mrs. Zhong, "Mrs. Zhong, what's going on? Why can't I understand?"

Mrs. Zhong shook her head slightly, "I don't know, but we'll talk less."

Mrs. Xi deeply agrees that the Xi family is now cautious in every step in the court and dare not take sides easily.

But the result of caution is that Yuanshuo and Zheng Huan, the fourth son of Huikang, ran to serve the new emperor and served allegiance to the new emperor, Zhong Zhan and the Li family met the Li family, and the Li family was the queen's sister-in-law's mother's family, and only their Xi family had no relationship with the emperor and empress.

This is very anxious.

Look, like now, the Yuan family, Li family and Zheng family obviously know the inside story, so they can easily speak for the queen, but they don’t know anything, so they naturally have no bottom line and dare not speak up and do things easily.

Gu Qingyi obviously had a plan and didn't want to keep talking about Liuli's topic. Instead, she said with a smile: "Your Majesty intends to hold a hunting in the autumn, and all the young talents in Huikang can participate."

Um?

This is really new news, I have never heard of it.

No one else could know, but Mrs. Xi was overjoyed. Her little boy was skilled in archery and horses, but unfortunately she never had the chance to catch His Majesty's eyes. If this hunting could be appreciated by His Majesty, her future would naturally be very good.

What made her worry for a long time now has hope, and Mrs. Xi’s expression has improved. This time, I will like to see Queen Gu again.

When Mrs. Ji heard this, her eyebrows moved and looked at her daughter. If His Majesty went to hunt with great fanfare, she would definitely not be able to return in one day and would definitely stay there.

In this way, officials will inevitably accompany the court, and their families will naturally have a chance.

Her young girl has an outstanding appearance, if she could show her face in front of the emperor...

Mrs. Ji's heart was thumping. Knowing that no one could succeed in this matter, she looked at Pei Yunsong. The Pei family's ability was intended to lead to this matter.

It’s a pity that His Majesty will not show up at today’s banquet. His Majesty will not be respectful to him when the Empress holds a palace banquet for the first time. I think the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress may not be as good as that of the outside.

Mrs. Ji felt very calm, and her ugly expression gradually improved.

Ji Linlang did not notice the changes in her mother. Instead, she got along happily with Pei Yunsong, who was sitting next to her, and occasionally chatted a few words.

Ji Linlang didn't dare to interrupt when the ladies spoke before. After hearing about the hunting incident, he looked at Pei Yunsong and said, "Sister Pei, do you say we can go then?"

Pei Yunsong's face looked very bad. She could bear it when the queen stepped on her, but she didn't expect that these ladies would have smiled warmly when they saw her. Today, they followed the queen's words, which made her feel really uncomfortable.

After hearing Ji Linlang's words, Pei Yunsong suppressed his displeasure and turned his head to her and smiled slightly, "I don't know this, it depends on the Queen's meaning at that time."

Ji Linlang thought so. If the queen didn't like the girls of the aristocratic families to follow, I'm afraid that His Majesty would be ruthless when he saw them.

"Of course, His Majesty decides this kind of big thing." Ji Linlang snorted and said in a low voice, "Sister Pei, are you right?"

"What Ji Amei said is reasonable. If Your Majesty spoke, even the queen could not object." Pei Yunsong said, saying this, but his eyes looked at the queen who was chatting and laughing with everyone.

Ji Linlang was overjoyed, "I feel so too."

I made up my mind and asked my mother to tell my father after I went back, how could my family not bring such things as hunting? As long as your Majesty advised me, your Majesty would definitely agree to such small things.

There are not so many rules in the hunting grounds. Girls from aristocratic families can also ride horses. The beauties on the hunting grounds are always pity and appreciation.

Ji Linlang was very excited and had a smile on his face. Pei Yunsong was still sitting there straight, with an impeccable smile on his face, as if she was not her who had been criticized by someone before.

When the banquet officially started, everyone felt the food at the entrance to the palace banquet was even more delicious, and the food was discussed again.

Pei Yunsong took a few bites. Although the taste was not much, it was too rich. She still preferred a light diet and put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites.
