With the standard eunuch's voice saying, 'The Emperor has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived.', everyone in the Baohe Hall stood up, walked out of the seats, stood between the seats and saluted neatly.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."
Qi Baoer lowered her head slightly and was still squatting. After a while, two bright yellow robes walked slowly past her eyes.
After a few breaths, the emperor's voice came from above: "My dear friends, please lay down and take a seat."
Everyone thanked him and sat down.
Qi Baoer glanced up after sitting down. The emperor naturally sat behind the dragon seat. The seat on his left was empty. According to the rules, it was the queen's seat. On his right, His Royal Highness sat.
As if feeling something, when Qi Baoer looked over, Jun Chenyuan's eyes also swept over, and he met her gaze as if he was "peeping".
If I were to change someone else, I would peek at Long Yan and be discovered by the prince. At this time, I must be either feeling guilty or scared.
Only the silly and bold Qi Bao'er has never had the idea that a dragon's face should not be peeked at. Even if she was discovered by the prince and took advantage of him, she could still be honest and calm and could no longer look away calmly.
Naturally, he looked at the concubines beside him.
Her attitude seemed so natural that Jun Chenyuan was startled for a moment, as if he was just looking for trouble if he minded.
With a chuckle, Jun Chenyuan also withdrew his gaze; the little girl was very courageous when she was a child. She has been out playing for nine years and doesn't know her other skills. But she is so courageous. It seems that he will have to keep an eye on him from now on to avoid being poked.
When the day arrived, no one was able to replenish it in time.
Qi Baoer didn't think what he was thinking. At this moment, her eyes were attracted by the concubines.
Today's palace banquet was attended by a large number of concubines, and their seats were all on the next level of the ninth-level King's throne.
Qi Bao'er remembered that Princess Binghua had introduced her to this section. Usually, some members of the royal family and ministers who had the emperor's trust and trust were seated in this seat; but this year, the entire rows and steps were occupied by harem people.
Concubines.
It seems that the emperor is living a good life in his old age.
Fortunately, the emperor was not nagging. After three glasses of wine, each said a few auspicious words in a meaningful way, and then left the ministers to their own devices.
At this time, Concubine Xian turned sideways and spoke to the emperor. There were voices all around her at a certain distance. Qi Baoer, who was not listening specifically, did not notice what Concubine Xian said.
However, after Concubine Xian finished speaking, the emperor nodded to her with a smile on her face. Concubine Xian looked like a child being praised and asked the palace attendants behind her to explain something.
After a while, music sounded in the hall, and a group of dancing girls walked happily from the side.
Qi Bao'er understands that tonight's palace banquet will be hosted by Concubine Xian.
It can also be seen from this that in the current harem, a virtuous concubine should be equivalent to a deputy concubine.
"Is that the girl from the Right Prime Minister's family?" Hao Zhengqun said uncertainly.
Qian Wentong on the left gave an affirmative sentence, "She is the only unmarried young lady in the right prime minister's family. Next year is not the year of the draft. There are rumors that the emperor will select a concubine for His Royal Highness next year."
The three of them all have great skills, and they can hear each other without having to raise their voices loudly. They can still look serious and look like they are watching the performance seriously... When Qi Bao'er heard the news, his voice was filled with unconcealable interest.
"Expand and tell, expand and tell."
Hao Zhengqun also spoke eagerly: "Tell me quickly."
Qian Wentong suddenly felt that his neck could lift up a few inches.
Originally, it was not his turn to know about this matter first, but who knew that his old man had just been summoned by the emperor to speak? The emperor did not say it explicitly, but the meaning revealed was that he wanted to give the prince
Choose a concubine.
Now he is the most promising among the juniors of the old Qian family. The old man in his family is determined to be a thief and wants to restore the Qian family's former glory. After coming out of the emperor's place, he immediately ordered someone to send a message to him.
He tried to use tonight's opportunity to let his aunt's daughter show her face.
Qian Wentong, the 'unfilial son', did not hide this from Qi Hao and Qi Hao at all. In the end, he said with disdain: "As for my aunt's daughter, she is average-looking and can't carry anything with her shoulders or hands.
She has been crying all day long; if she is to be sent to the East Palace, whether she will survive or not, the entire Qian family will be burdened by her."
Qi Baoer: "..."
Hao Zhengqun: "..."
Qian Wen has met his aunt's daughter Qi Bao'er and Hao Zhengqun. To be honest, according to their normal aesthetic vision, the girl is pretty good-looking and she can definitely be ranked high among the noble ladies in the capital.
of.
It's true that she is squeamish, but which of the rich and wealthy ladies in the capital is not squeamish?
However, when they thought of Mrs. Qian behind them, they both fell silent again.
No matter how good the relationship between friends is, it's not easy to talk about someone's family. After getting the accurate information, the two of them tacitly agreed not to follow his words and looked fixedly at Miss Fang who was dancing hard in the middle.
He Zhengqun suddenly remembered something, "Didn't the Fang family originally want to get engaged to the Lei family? I remember what the Lei family said about marrying the second young master Lei. Is it possible that a woman from the Fang family and the second young master Lei can be married?
Is there anyone else?"
The Lei family is now inferior to the Fang family. Not to mention they have no title, and the only person in the family who is still in court is Lei Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.
But there are many things, and you can't just look at the surface.
If an emperor lives a long life, there will be a situation like this: throughout his life, the emperor will have several important ministers such as prime ministers and dukes.
Among the ancestors of the Lei family, during the reign of the late Emperor, there was an Imperial Preceptor and a Prime Minister, and during the present reign, there was also an Imperial Preceptor, a Prime Minister, and a Grand Scholar.
The Lei family has a strong foundation. Although it may not be obvious now, the emperor respects him and he has disciples all over the world.
It cannot be said that one call among the literati can be answered by hundreds of people, but one call from the Lei family can also cause quite a stir in the literati world.
As for the prominent Fang family now, it can only be regarded as a new one. It has only happened in the past ten years. Compared with the Lei family, which has a solid foundation, it is really a bit underwhelming.
Therefore, if the Fang and Lei families are to get married, and the men of the Lei family are still legitimate sons, in the eyes of everyone, the Fang family cannot be anyone other than the legitimate young lady in front of them.
The Lei family is a truly scholarly family. Word spread from the Lei family that the second young master Lei and the Fang family are getting engaged, which only means that both parties have already given accurate information on this matter.
Now Miss Fang is here...
Hao Zhengqun frowned unconsciously, "The Fang family did not handle this matter properly."
Qian Wentong also changed his mind and laughed, "It seems that some people can't understand things that we all understand. Just wait and see, after tonight, Lei
The Fang family is destined to make a scene."
Literary people talk about their character. You can beat them or even kill them, but you can't humiliate them.
If the Fang family dares to harm the Lei family like this, the Lei family will never take it lightly.
At this moment, the three waiters looked at Miss Fang who was dancing in the middle, their eyes unconsciously filled with sympathy.
This person cannot enter the East Palace. Whether he can get married is another question.
