315 Chapter 318: None of the direct descendants of the royal family came
Chapter 315 318: No one from the royal family came
"The weather in Kyoto City has been unusual recently, and more people have fevers and headaches," the old lady said.
"Who says it's not the case? I just saw that the daughter of Prime Minister Shen's family didn't come. I heard that they went up the mountain to pray for blessings."
The old lady's heart is as clear as a mirror, and she is guessing something will happen between the Chen family and Concubine Hui at today's banquet.
There is a large garden next to the West Palace. There is still some time before the banquet, and many official ladies gather together and chatter about something.
"Why didn't Yu Ling and Nan Xiang see it?" Yu Pinting asked.
"Nan Xiang and her mother went to see Concubine Liu. Yu Ling was ill today and didn't come," Chen Fangfang said.
"Sick? Is it serious?"
He Jianxue laughed when he heard this: "Pinting, are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
"kindness?"
"I was telling Fangfang just now that I was afraid you wouldn't come today, but I didn't expect the old lady to bring you here." He Jianxue and Chen Fangfang looked at each other and said.
Yu Pinting frowned: "I am the future third princess. It is not right for grandma to bring me here."
"Don't you know who Concubine Hui is?" He Jianxue said, looking around and whispering with his head close: "Concubine Hui has been in the cold palace for more than three years. Someone said: Concubine Hui was sent to the cold palace. After that, she was secretly abused by many people. Who would allow their daughter, who has not become a monk, to celebrate her birthday in such a bad way? Even those with some power gave their daughters excuses to evade it. Not one of the legitimate daughters of the four princes' families. If I didn’t show up, if it weren’t for my father’s low official position, my mother probably wouldn’t have let me come.”
Yu Pinting's face turned pale when she heard this. None of the direct relatives of the four princes came?
The daughter of a high family has never come?
She actually came...
What would outsiders think?
"Old Madam Yu didn't bring Yu Wushuang with her. You see, the gap between you two suddenly appeared. She still loves her own granddaughter. Why aren't you worried at all, Bingting?" He Jianxue shook her head.
"Yes, it stands to reason that the old lady loved you very much before, but we all thought you wouldn't come today." Chen Fangfang answered stupidly.
Yu Pinting clenched her fingers in her sleeves and her face was as pale as paper. Grandma clearly knew, why didn't she tell her?
So that she could make a fool of herself like this?
Yu Wushuang did not attend, but she came, which was nothing more than a shield.
What will the Third Prince think when he sees it?
"Ladies, the birthday banquet is about to begin. Ladies, please take a seat." The young father-in-law came and leaned over.
The official ladies responded and walked towards the banquet one after another.
Yu Pinting couldn't even move forward, and she felt a little ashamed sitting at the banquet.
"Jinting, let's go, it's about to start." Chen Fangfang pulled her.
There was resentment in Yu Pinting's eyes, and she shook off Chen Fangfang's hand. She could only be with this group of unworthy official ladies?
If grandma could have spoken clearly, she would never have come.
The hatred in my heart came over me.
As the sun sets, the lanterns in the West Palace slowly light up, and the music of the musicians plays in my ears.
The princes sat down one after another, each with their own thoughts.
The princesses also sat down one after another, but none of them seemed to have a happy face. If they were not forced by their own mothers and concubines, they would not sit here to celebrate the birthday of a cold palace empress.
The princes and concubines of the four major royal palaces were also seated. Almost all of the seats were men or wives of officials, and there were only a few young ladies with a lot of money.
So from above, it looks like old men bringing their old wives, and it looks a bit like a gathering of middle-aged and elderly people.
