Although she arrived late, Han Wei's outfit was extremely inconsistent with her yard.
She was seen wearing a light yellow dress and a long pure white coat. Only the lines embroidered with gold thread on the coat prevented her from looking like she was wearing a mourning dress.
But also because of the white and gold color combination, her face looks particularly delicate.
The bun on Han Wei's head was also very simple. Kankan only used two hair accessories to fix the bun, and then inserted a hairpin and wore a glass mop on her forehead.
It can be said that if it were not for Qin Jiaoxi's simplicity, Han Wei would have become the most eye-catching person in the audience.
However, they are both natural. Qin Jiaoxi's light blue dress paired with a goose-yellow coat looks more refreshing and eye-catching than the white gold one. However, one person is intentional and the other is unintentional. By comparison, you can quickly find the difference in appearance.
at.
Sure enough, Han Wei's eyes swept across the audience and quickly landed on Qin Jiaoxi, then stared at her in disbelief.
"Mother Yue, didn't you say that all the concubines came here dressed up? Why does Princess Chu Ning wear simpler clothes than me?"
He didn't even have a decent head and face.
"Is Yanchu very poor?"
Grandma Yue didn't know whether Yan Chu was poor or rich, so she could only lower her voice and said: "It's okay, I'm just a teenage girl. I can't steal your limelight from you, my empress."
Han Wei squinted her eyes: "That's true, ha, the merchant girl was dressed really vulgarly today. The thick hairpin on her head can be melted into five or six ordinary hairpins. She doesn't think her head is heavy?"
"And there are seven or eight bracelets on the wrist. Gee, it's ridiculous that they can be lifted up!"
Even as he said this, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Although the Dan kingdom has little land for livestock, the land for farming is fertile, and it is not a country short of food and meat. The original royal family also lived in luxury, but after this emperor came to power, he actually said that the land for livestock was not enough, and farming would be exhausted sooner or later.
Natural gifts.
He actually hoarded the royal wealth in exchange for animal husbandry cooperation from neighboring vassal countries. In the end, he even exchanged all the valuable decorations in the palace for silver and rice.
Over the past few decades, frugality has gradually become a habit in the court, and the concubines in the palace have little room for luxury.
All the women present could probably wear what they had on their heads - except for the merchant's daughter.
Deep down in Han Wei's heart, she was unwilling to regard Shang Yin as the crown princess together with herself.
Is the merchant's daughter worthy?
Even after entering the palace, the smell of copper could not be concealed.
Qin Jiaoxi frowned and looked at Han Wei, knowing without guessing the purpose of her outfit.
But it was a coincidence that it could alleviate the embarrassment of being dressed so elegantly alone.
Shang Yin patted Qin Jiaoxi's arm: "Let's go. Not to mention her, the time is always very accurate. Once she appears, it means that the prince and the emperor are almost here."
As soon as the two of them returned to their seats, they saw Bo Jiming sneaking in from the side.
"Mother, my father is here."
Even though my uncle knew it, he still called Bo Qing his father - the title he held before he was crowned prince.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Qing walked in holding the hand of the second prince's youngest son, Bo Yinglang.
The little guy was about ten years old, slightly chubby, but his eyes were clear and magnanimous. He glanced at everyone in the hall and finally landed on Shang Yin.
"Crown Princess, I haven't seen you for several days, but I miss you so much!"
With that said, Dengdeng ran over, knocked Qin Jiaoxi away, and took Shang Yin's hand: "I haven't eaten the pastries you made in the past few days. Yinglang has lost a lot of weight. Take a closer look!"
Yan Bi swallowed, and the flesh on his chubby cheeks trembled.
Everyone: "..."
Qin Jiaoxi: "..."
I never expected that I was actually a foodie!
Shang Yin's eyes changed when he saw the little guy approaching, and now he had a calm and distant air.
"That being the case, I will continue to send snacks to the Imperial Study Room starting tomorrow, and you can take advantage of it by following His Highness the Crown Prince."
The little guy jumped with excitement: "This is great, the Queen has done a good thing!"
Concubines: "..."
The young ancestor in front of me is probably the only one who can bury the Queen like this.
Since the death of the second prince, the old emperor has always been particularly partial to this little ancestor, probably out of heartache, which has led to him not caring too much about the consequences of his words now.
At this moment, the sound of the little eunuch singing "Nai" came from outside.
The emperor and queen also arrived.
The dust-washing banquet can also be regarded as the official opening.
From the moment the old emperor came in, Qin Jiaoxi stared at him intently, as if trying to figure out something.
Bo Jiming wanted to remind her several times to take it easy, but due to the distance between the two and the inconvenience of transmitting messages, he could only stare in the end.
Fortunately, there were many people in the main hall. Although Qin Jiaoxi followed Shang Yin in the front position, he was not big, petite and inconspicuous.
Qin Jiaoxi really used all the brain cells he could use in his life, trying to see something in the old emperor.
But unfortunately, the old emperor was quite old and had just recovered from a serious illness. He had to rely on the support of the old eunuch to walk, and there was no visible difference at all.
After the two of them finally sat down, the old emperor stretched his body, raised his head and immediately looked in the direction of Qin Jiaoxi.
Their eyes met instantly.
Qin Jiaoxi: "..."
Damn it, this is too sudden, isn’t it?
Shouldn't it be that the old emperor wants to say something for the occasion first and announce that the banquet is about to begin before doing anything else?
But he saw the corners of the old emperor's lips twitching slightly, and he looked away with a smile.
"Today is a cleansing banquet for Princess Chu Ning, who has come all the way from Yan Chu. I believe that everyone has heard about this in the past two days, so I won't say more. In the future, all matters related to entertaining Princess Chu Ning will be handled by the Crown Princess herself.
Just be responsible!”
The queen's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing with a cold face.
However, Concubine Shen Shu couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty's introduction was really too simple!"
"I heard years ago that this Princess Chu Ning had a marriage contract with our young prince when she was in the Great Zhao Kingdom. The Marquis of Shang and the Queen Mother of the Great Zhao Kingdom made it in person. I don't know, I am.
Is this news wrong?"
The old emperor glanced at her with a smile: "What Concubine Shen Shu means is that she wants to find out what I think about this marriage?"
"In that case, I might as well take advantage of the fact that everyone is here today and announce it by the way!"
"I have received a letter from Emperor Yanchu a few days ago and agreed to the marriage between the two countries. Therefore, Princess Chu Ning is the future princess of Bo Jiming, the only young prince under the crown prince's knees."
"Originally we planned to wait until the princess has lived in Danlie Kingdom for a year and a half and everyone is familiar with her before announcing the matter. But since Concubine Shen has mentioned it, I think it would be good to announce it today."
