Chapter 144 The Palace Banquet Begins

Chapter 144 The Palace Banquet Begins

"As the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest emperor's sister-in-law thinks that the relationship between brothers is not as close as that of in-laws?" Princess Mu of Qin also asked, "Is this what the eldest emperor's sister-in-law thinks?"

"The eldest emperor's sister-in-law usually calls herself the eldest sister-in-law, but she always shows off her eldest sister-in-law to the rest of us. I didn't expect that this is what the eldest emperor's sister-in-law thinks in her heart." Princess Wang, Princess of Shu

He also echoed.

"Does the eldest brother know that the eldest emperor's sister-in-law thinks so?" Princess Wei Li also asked.

Princess Zhou of Chu panicked. If this group of sisters-in-law spread the news, she would definitely be reprimanded by Emperor Yun Zhao and Empress Mu. Even her mother-in-law, Concubine Zhou, would also reprimand her.

Although Princess Zhou and Concubine Zhou are aunts and nephews, they are now more like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When they were aunts and nephews, they had a good relationship, but as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there are definitely not many who can get along with each other like mother and daughter. Some mothers and daughters can.

A tit-for-tat confrontation would make you want to kill the other person, let alone the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Concubine Zhou was not necessarily very kind and kind when facing Princess Chu. If Princess Chu did something wrong, she would not be merciless in teaching her a lesson.

Princess Chu didn't want to face the reprimands of the emperor, empress, and her mother-in-law, so she quickly explained that she didn't think so.

There was a lively chaos among the other people. Chen Xun listened and smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that the sisters-in-law were not so harmonious.

As the son of a noble concubine and the eldest son of Emperor Yun Zhao, King Chu's status was definitely very high. A mother is as valuable as her son, and a son is as valuable as her mother. This mother and son have been very favored and have high status in the past thirty years.

And Princess Chu's Zhou family was born in the same family as Zhou Guifei. She had a noble aunt who married the emperor's eldest son. Didn't she just put on a very high profile?

She has been too public in recent years, which has made her younger siblings who are not bad in their background very dislike her. Mu, who is the queen's legitimate son and the concubine of King Qin, certainly can't stand her either.

Now that there was an opportunity to ridicule Princess Chu, the princesses couldn't miss it, and they ridiculed her one by one.

Chen Yu felt relieved when she saw her current appearance. Of course, she had no intention of letting Princess Chu go just like that. She could clearly hear the other party's mocking words towards her.

Today was a palace banquet. The tycoons in the palace, the princes, princesses and concubines were all here, as were the royal family and ministers. There was no need for her to cause trouble and make people laugh.

This is her first New Year after marrying into the royal family. There is no need for her to cause trouble at this time, as it will not be beneficial to her future development.

Hearing the movements of the older princesses in front of her, Princess Qi took a look and said, "Are the royal sisters-in-law quarreling again?"

Princess Qi glanced at Princess Qin. Although Prince Qi was naturally on King Qin's side, Princess Qi didn't like Princess Qin. Even if their husbands were princes born from the same mother and the same queen, she didn't want to be with her.

The sisters-in-law are close.

After hearing the commotion here, she came to Chen Yu's side and said, "It must be the First Emperor's Sister-in-law and the Fifth Emperor's Sister-in-law who are quarreling again."

"They can't help but say some unpleasant things whenever they get together, and they start to quarrel." Princess Qi wrinkled her nose and said.

Although she had just married into Prince Qi's Mansion less than two years ago, she understood what kind of character they were like after getting to know these princesses more often.

Although she has a carefree personality, it doesn't mean that she has no brains. She doesn't want to be in the limelight and then be targeted.

"Let me tell you, Ninth Sister-in-law, the relationship between the First Emperor's Sister and the Second Emperor's Sister is very bad, but the one who has the worst relationship with the First Emperor's Sister is actually the Fifth Emperor's Sister..." Princess Qi gossiped.

Princess Chu and Princess Han, one is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the emperor, and the other is the wife of the second son of the emperor. They both came in at about the same time. As time went by, they naturally had many conflicts.

As for Princess Chu and Princess Qin, one is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the emperor, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the legitimate prince, so they are even more at odds with each other.

That is to say, these people have good acting skills and behave gracefully. It is not obvious at all how much they want to kill each other.

"Sister-in-law ten..." Princess Zhongshan and Princess Changshan came to Princess Qi's side to gossip, while Chen Xun just shut up and listened quietly.

She didn't know much about the Yan family, and it had only been more than a month or less than two months since she married into Prince Ning's palace, so she had better listen to the gossip quietly and analyze the news.

Of course, Princess Qi and the others were also very measured when they chatted about gossip, and would not reveal any shocking information. She just listened happily.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

"The Queen has arrived——"

"The Queen Mother has arrived——"

"Concubine Zhou has arrived——"

"Concubine Yun Guifei has arrived——"

When the banquet was about to begin, as the eunuch's loud voice sounded, Emperor Yun Zhao entered with the Queen Mother, the Empress and the two noble concubines.

The other high-ranking concubines entered the venue before the few giants. When they heard the sound, everyone stood up, bowed in the direction of the chief seat and shouted in unison -

"Welcome Your Majesty——"

"Welcome to the Queen Mother——"

"Welcome to the Queen—"

There were quite a lot of people attending the banquet today, and the voices they shouted in unison were really loud. Chen Xun thought she would have rubbed her ears if it wasn't for the conditions. The voice was too loud.

After Emperor Yun Zhao asked his mother to sit down, he looked at everyone and said in a calm voice, "Without courtesy, all your ministers will be at peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Chen Xun stood up straight following everyone's movements, and then sat down with Emperor Yun Zhao's permission. Following Emperor Yun Zhao's order, the banquet officially began.

Of course, the first thing to be served were various snacks, cold dishes, etc. Chen Xun was a little hungry now. She had not eaten enough at the Baifu Palace. Of course, she also knew that there was no condition for her to have the palace banquet.

After eating enough, she planned to return to the house to make up for it after the banquet was over.

It is indeed impossible for a palace banquet to be very delicious. Even if the dishes are made by the imperial chef, the winter dishes are cold when they are served.

Chen Xun looked at the mutton stew in front of her. The soup was covered in white fat and had almost cooled down. It definitely didn't taste as good as freshly baked meat.

The grilled mutton over there must be the same. It has no heat and no fragrance. You can tell at a glance that it is not delicious when it is cold.

But Chen Xun still ate it. She didn't have many opportunities to eat meat before. Although the meat was cold now, at least it was meat, and the chef's skills were really good.

Even if these dishes were cold, their taste would be reduced but they wouldn't taste bad. Chen Xun secretly took a warm baby and put it under the plate to warm up the dishes. At least they wouldn't be so cold and they wouldn't taste bad when they were eaten.

Too unpalatable.

The most important thing is to melt the condensed fat so that it won't be so unpleasant to eat.

Chen Xun ate with gusto. Although the other princesses didn't say anything after seeing her actions, their expressions and eyes revealed their contempt for her.

As expected, she is a girl who grew up in the countryside. She knows how to eat on such occasions, and she looks like she has eaten a delicacy.

They admitted that the chef's skills were indeed very good, but the meals at this time were not that delicious.

Moreover, the dishes in front of them were not the dishes given by His Majesty, but just ordinary dishes arranged for banquets in the palace, and there was no need to endure the unpalatable taste and insist on eating them.

The dishes given by His Majesty are an honor, and they must eat them no matter what. It is absolutely impossible for them to endure the discomfort of eating these "ordinary" dishes.
