On the third day of the wedding, a banquet was held in Ci'en Palace. The guests were the current imperial family members, and it was also a way for the princes and concubines to recognize their relatives. Li Yuhua and Mu Anzhi came over early as usual and had breakfast in Ci'en Palace. Not long after, the prince and his wife
, the second prince and his wife also arrived.
Rumors spread that Empress Lu and her concubines came to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Lan.
Li Yuhua spit out a grape skin and put it on the crabapple table at hand. He wiped his palms with a handkerchief. He stood up and looked sideways at the door. He saw an appearance wearing a nine-tailed phoenix crown and a gorgeous phoenix robe.
The beautiful woman meandered in with her concubines. If the beauty of Mrs. Yong'an Hou is radiant and fierce, then this woman's beauty is the best portrayal of the extreme softness and self-generated charm. That extreme
Even Li Yuhua, who had a grudge against Empress Lu, could not help but feel a bit of pity at the first sight of her.
Empress Lu paid her respects to Empress Dowager Lan, and the concubines behind her also saluted. Empress Dowager Lan waved her hand, "No need to be polite, just sit down."
Empress Lu occupied the lower left position of Empress Dowager Lan. Empress Dowager Lan said a few words and dismissed the remaining concubines. The eldest princess, Princess Jiayue, and the second princess, Princess Jiaxiang, sat under Li Yuhua and the second princess. They felt Princess Jiaxiang's ridicule.
Attentive, Li Yuhua nodded slightly at the somewhat pale Princess Jiayue. Princess Jiayue's biological mother, Empress Hui Fei, had been lingering on the sick bed, and the princess spent most of her time by her side.
Princess Jiayue also smiled at Li Yuhua.
Queen Lu's spring-like eyes fell on Li Yuhua, and her voice was as soft as poplar catkins, "Is this the third daughter-in-law? She is a delicate child."
Li Yuhua stood up and greeted Empress Lu with impeccable etiquette, "I have met the Empress."
"Good boy, no need to be polite." Empress Lu waved her hand for Li Yuhua to sit down in the same way as Queen Mother Lan just did. With gentle eyes, she said to Queen Mother Lan, "This child is really good."
Queen Mother Lan smiled, "She is very sensible and makes people like her as soon as she sees her. I said that Ah Shen is blessed with a wife. He married such a good wife and was filial to me."
Empress Lu nodded and said kindly to Li Yuhua, "Whenever you have time, come to my place and let's talk. I have prepared many good things for you."
"I will definitely go when I have time. I have missed you for a long time."
Princess Jiaxiang said, "In the past, when I came to the imperial grandmother's place, I always sat in the front. Now that I have a sister-in-law, we, the granddaughters, have to sit in the back."
Queen Mother Lan smiled, "I love you just as much. Come and sit here with the Imperial Grandmother."
Princess Jiaxiang smiled and went up to sit on the royal couch with Queen Mother Lan. Queen Mother Lan asked her if she was feeling better these days. It sounded like Princess Jiaxiang was not feeling well and was taking medicine.
Compared to the talkative and noisy Princess Jiaxiang, Princess Jiayue is much quieter.
The eldest princess Fengyang arrived with several princes and concubines of the clan, and soon after, Emperor Mu Xuan and the princes of various clans also arrived.
Li Yuhua also met many relatives. The oldest is the Prince of Chu, who is over fifty years old. He came with his children and grandchildren and a large family. The youngest is the Prince of Xiangyang, who is fifteen years old and is still in the palace.
Reading inside.
The eldest princess Fengyang arrived with several princes and concubines of the clan. After a while, Emperor Mu Xuan and the princes of various clans also arrived. This banquet was for two people. For example, some princesses and princes who had not yet got married were one person.
One case.
The food was naturally exquisite. Mu Anzhi peeled off the shrimp shells and put the snow-white shrimp meat into her bowl. Her thoughtfulness shocked many people. Everyone knew that the third prince had a weird and surly temperament, but now he was so attentive to the prince's concubine.
comprehensive.
This kind of shock was even worse than the shock when I saw Li Yuhua's unremarkable appearance.
Princess Fengyang smiled, "I think my mother will be able to have her great-grandchild next year."
Empress Dowager Lan loved hearing these words the most, and her heart was filled with excitement, "I will surely succeed with your auspicious words."
Princess Jiaxiang put down her chopsticks, picked up the water at her hand and took a slow sip. Her eyes fell on Li Yuhua and quickly looked back. She smiled and said, "The third brother treats the third sister-in-law very well. I have never seen the third brother strip the emperor's grandmother before."
Shrimp shells.”
Among the brothers and sisters, Mu Anzhi disliked Princess Jiaxiang the most. He was about to fight back. Li Yuhua gently pressed the back of his hand and glanced at Princess Jiaxiang, "Your third brother is far away from the emperor's grandmother. You sit with the emperor's grandmother.
I’ve never seen you serve the Imperial Grandmother even once.”
Princess Jiaxiang didn't expect Li Yuhua to be so sharp-tongued, and immediately choked up. The Crown Princess interrupted with a smile, "Sister, don't say this now. It will be the same if you have a consort in the future."
Li Yuhua gave Mu Anzhi a piece of honey-glazed ham and curled her lips with a smile. Mu Anzhi couldn't help but smile when he saw her clever look and continued peeling shrimps for Li Yuhua.
The Crown Princess of Chu raised her glass to toast Queen Mother Lan, "Sister-in-law, now the three princes are married, and the fourth prince is still young, so the two princesses should be next."
"Yes, Jiayue Jiaxiang is not in a hurry, I will keep them for a few more years." Empress Dowager Lan smiled.
There were also singing and dancing for fun at the banquet. Li Yuhua leaned forward to talk to Princess Jiayue and asked her about Empress Hui Fei. He said, "My empress is ill. If I go over there, she will have to get up to deal with it, which will disturb her spirit even more. I have some health supplements there."
I will send someone to deliver the medicinal materials to you later, as is my wish. There are also a few pieces of material, which are cotton produced in my hometown. They are excellent for making linings. Just keep them and don't be polite to me."
Princess Jiayue thanked her, "Thank you, third sister-in-law, so I accepted it shamelessly."
"That's what's best." Li Yuhua raised his glass and the two drank a drink. Prince Xiangyang toasted a round of wine. When he arrived at Mu Anzhi's place, he saw that Li Yuhua was doing it with his head raised and he was doing it coolly. He immediately brought the pot to Li Yuhua and Princess Jiaxiang and said
, “I’d like to give a toast to sister Jiaxiang and third sister-in-law.”
Li Yuhua was dissatisfied, "You can toast the two of us with a glass of wine. You are very good at it. If you are not good enough, you deserve the points."
"Sisters, sister-in-law, you can do whatever you want, I'll have two cups." The Prince of Xiangyang saw Li Yuhua still raising his head and doing it. After he finished fucking, he revealed the bottom of the cup, and the Prince of Xiangyang gave a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, you are really brave!"
"You're welcome."
The Crown Prince of Xiangyang smiled mischievously, "I'll give my sister-in-law another drink."
"It's boring to drink like this." When such brats raised their eyebrows and frowned, Li Yuhua knew what they were thinking. He rolled his eyes and said, "Let's punch each other, and the loser will get a drink."
"Sister-in-law knows how to box?"
"Just tell me if you can?"
"If my sister-in-law wins, I'll drink two cups. If I win, my sister-in-law can drink half a cup."
Drinking orders are often held at palace banquets, but these are mostly elegant orders, and fist fighting is rare, but in fact everyone can do it. The Crown Prince of Xiangyang and Li Yuhua competed with each other in a fist fight, and the young clan members came to watch the fun.
In the end, the Prince of Xiangyang was so drunk that he hugged Emperor Mu Xuan and called him daddy, which made everyone laugh. Emperor Mu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Hurry up and give Ahao two bowls of sobering soup. The third daughter-in-law, Ahao is also a younger brother, don't
You teased him."
Li Yuhua's face was just slightly dizzy from the wine, he smiled and raised his glass to Emperor Mu Xuan, and the young clan members who gathered around Li Yuhua to watch the punches dispersed.
The crown prince and the two princes were dumbfounded. They were both virtuous and virtuous outstanding figures. Although they knew that Li Yuhua always liked to steal the limelight for himself, he used to only steal their limelight, but now he even steals their husbands' limelight. What kind of people are they!
Do you still know that you are a woman and a princess? Look at the way you are fistfighting with the prince, you are really bringing those habits from the countryside to the palace!
Fortunately, some mature princes did not join in the excitement of the young people, and stayed with His Majesty and the Crown Prince to talk quietly. The Crown Prince, the two princes, and the concubine all served Queen Mother Lan, and they also won a lot of favor.
Most of the female family members and older members of the clan did not comment on the princess. The younger members of the clan found the third prince's concubine quite interesting. No wonder the third prince liked her very much. If you marry a daughter-in-law who can punch, at least your life will not be boring.
The banquet, which was supposed to end in the middle of the afternoon, was so lively that it was getting late. Queen Mother Lan looked at the time and said with a smile, "We'll all have dinner before we go back."
As a result, the whole day was lively.
Empress Dowager Lan and Emperor Xuan liked to see young people lively and having fun. After everyone left Ci'en Palace, Li Yuhua took Mu Anzhi's hand and said to Empress Dowager Lan, "Grandmother, Emperor Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take a seat while we and my second brother
Second sister-in-law is going to see off my uncles and brothers."
Mu Anzhixin said, what's the gift? After Li Yuhua finished speaking, he got up and walked with the second prince and his wife to the door of the Princess Princess. The elderly man ordered the good servant to serve him and light the lantern to light the way.
. When peers ask them to come often in the future, they just say a few nice words and are obviously polite and affectionate.
Li Yuhua had not known these people in the past. When she met them for the first time, she remembered their names exactly. Occasionally, there were some whom she was not familiar with, and Mu Anzhi also knew them.
Li Yuhua is not arrogant at all, and treats others with a smile. Even some members of the clan who are close to the prince have to say that although the third prince's concubine is of ordinary origin, she is a person who understands etiquette. Even the third prince, who has always been cold and distant, is much more approachable than before.
.
After seeing off everyone in the clan, the two couples returned to Ci'en Palace. Empress Dowager Lan had prepared sobering soup, and each of them drank a cup.
Emperor Mu Xuan stood up and said, "I have disturbed my mother all day today. She is tired, so my son will leave first."
Everyone wanted to say goodbye. Queen Mother Lan nodded, "Then go, it's good for the emperor to have a rest when he goes back." Then she said to several grandchildren, "Come over tomorrow and let's talk."
Emperor Mu Xuan led everyone away, and Li Yuhua walked beside Mu An. She didn't know that being in the limelight today would hurt someone's eyes. Princess Jiaxiang was not angry. In the past, many people gathered around her to flatter her at such banquets.
, today it was Li Yuhua who grabbed everyone's attention. In addition, Li Yuhua did not go to Fengyi Palace to say hello after entering the house, and old and new grudges arose. Princess Jiaxiang had long disliked Li Yuhua.
The nine steps of Ci'en Palace lead to the honor of Zheng Ci'en Palace.
Emperor Mu Xuan and Empress Lu walked in front, followed by the crown prince and princess, followed by the second prince and his wife, Mu Anzhi and his wife, and Princess Jiaxiang deliberately walked behind. Princess Jiayue has always been quiet and quiet, and she was slightly further back than Princess Jiaxiang.
After the second prince and his wife came down the steps, Mu Anzhi's Li Yuhua stepped on the seventh step. Princess Jiaxiang saw the right opportunity and tripped her feet under Li Yuhua's skirt when she went down the steps. She blocked her body slightly and quickly pushed towards Li Yuhua's waist.
Little did she know that Li Yuhua was smarter than a monkey. First, Li Yuhua swung his body quickly to avoid Princess Jiaxiang's hidden hand. Then, as if he had eyes under his feet, he stepped on Princess Jiaxiang's feet with one wrong step.
, Princess Jiaxiang screamed. Li Yuhua also screamed, and threw herself into Mu Anzhi's arms as tenderly as a delicate flower, which did not stop Princess Jiaxiang from rolling down the steps in ecstasy.
Mu Anzhi quickly hugged Li Yuhua and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Princess Jiaxiang dropped a piece of jewelry. She turned pale in pain and burst into tears. She pointed at Li Yuhua and said, "How dare you step on me!"
Li Yuhua covered her face, pulled Mu Anzhi's sleeve and said sweetly, "I don't know what hit me."
Princess Jiaxiang cried, "My feet! My third sister-in-law stepped on me and pushed me down!"
Queen Lu suddenly heard her daughter's cry and hurried over immediately. When she heard Princess Jiaxiang's cry again, she couldn't bear it anymore. Her eyes were like steel needles piercing Li Yuhua and asked angrily, "Third daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
Why are you stepping on Jiaxiang!"
Li Yuhua weakly wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, "The princess is behind me. I am walking next to the third brother. I am asking the queen how I can step on the princess's feet and how I can push her down."
?Sister Jiayue is also behind me. Ask her, did I turn around and step on the princess, or did I push her?"
The Crown Princess looked at the footprints on Princess Jiaxiang's shoes and frowned in distress, "But, is Sister Jiaxiang being stepped on?
Emperor Mu Xuan and the prince also came over, and they all stared at the shoe prints on Princess Jiaxiang's feet. Li Yuhua said, "Then you have to ask the princess why she stretched her feet under my feet when she was behind me. Her feet are stretched so long, there are
What a way, it was just a coincidence. I don't have eyes under my feet, so it stung me for a while."
"You stepped on me and you pushed me!" Princess Jiaxiang cried loudly.
Mu An knew the cause and effect at a glance, and asked Princess Jiaxiang coldly, "Then tell me, how did Yuhua step on your foot from behind, and how could she push you without turning around! Does she have hands on her back?"
"
"It's her, she's her! Even my maids saw it!"
The palace attendant next to Princess Jiaxiang said, "You will know whose footprints are on the princess's shoes once you check them."
Princess Jiayue was about to speak but stopped.
Under the silvery moonlight, Li Yuhua's smile became gentler. She seemed to be reminiscing about some good memories, and recounted with great interest, "There used to be a bad girl in our village who tried to trip me up, but I didn't know that I was on guard against her.
, my foot was trampled to pieces by her, so that she would not dare to lay a foot in front of me for the rest of her life. Kong Shengren said, repaying grievances with straightness, I am not a saint, repaying grievances with grievances also shows mercy, father and emperor
There is no need to thank me! Such a black-hearted, stupid girl was born in the royal family. If she were in our village, she would have been beaten to death!"
She pulled Mu Anzhi, her domineering voice overflowing, and her voice was cold, "Let's go back to sleep!"
