The grand banquet made the capital more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
The contents of the three banquets are becoming more and more detailed. The first one is a celebration banquet for the new kings in the former palace, the second one is a hunting banquet, the people attending the banquet accompanied the emperor to ride and shoot in the garden and have fun together, and the third one is a hunting banquet.
The venue was a garden party in the Royal Garden. There were far fewer people participating in this one because——
"This one is for the new king to choose his princess." A Tian said with a smile, "Through the first two banquets, the marriageable families were selected to participate, so that the new king can finally decide on the princess of his choice."
Yan'er, Cui'er and other maids couldn't help but laugh. No matter what, it is always a beautiful thing for a young man and a young man to be happy and have a good relationship that lasts for a hundred years.
"That means it will be over after I last two games." Chen Danzhu said happily, sitting on the porch and fanning.
Hearing her words, Yaner Cuier and the other maids stopped laughing immediately and looked at the girl sitting in the corridor. She was wearing a green shirt and snow skirt, which made her skin crystal clear. She had grown a little taller and her face had faded.
A little bit fat, Tingting looks like a green girl - but everyone avoids this girl.
What should I do, young lady? Is she going to be alone all her life?
No! A Tian glared at them. There were many people who liked the young lady, such as the third prince, such as Zhou Xuan, but the young lady did not like them. If the young lady was willing, she would definitely get married immediately!
Is this so? Cui'er Yan'er looked at A Tian with expectation, what kind of person does the young lady want?
A Tian suddenly felt sad and sighed in her heart. She could see that the young lady probably didn't want anyone. Under her youthful and flowery appearance, she hid the desolation of a lonely life.
"Okay, you guys, don't look at me like that over there!" Chen Danzhu shouted, holding up a fan, "Put out all my clothes and makeup and pick out the most gorgeous one! If it's not gorgeous enough, go to Shao Shao
The Palace Supervisor wants it! Also, call Zhulin and give me my bows and arrows, and inlay them with gems so that Princess Danzhu will be dazzling at these two banquets!"
Ah Tian and others immediately burst out laughing. Yes, even if the young lady couldn't participate in the last scene, it would still be unforgettable. They ran over in a lively manner, and the bamboo forest on the roof reluctantly fell down——
But what's the use of putting gems on bows and arrows? The most dazzling thing in the hunting ground is that the arrows are flawless.
The grand banquet came under the spotlight of everyone, slowly - everyone was looking forward to it, but quickly - the women felt that no matter how prepared they were, it was not grand and perfect enough, it arrived.
On this day, carriages and horses surged in front of the imperial city. The Jingzhao Mansion, the Guards Office, and the Northern Army mobilized from the Beijing Camp guarded half of the capital and cleared the roads. It was solemn and solemn, but it was a joyful banquet after all. The carriages and horses
The place where they passed was still very noisy, especially when the three newly crowned princes came out of the Xincheng Palace. People along the way rushed to watch, and the bold women even threw flowers at the princes' cars.
In addition to the prince, the nobles of the aristocratic families who attended the banquet also attracted people to watch and point out which family this is, whose girls are good-looking, and whose young men are handsome - the princes need to choose girls of the right age to be their wives, and Princess Jin Yao also needs to choose
Husband.
Young men cannot avoid being judged when riding horses, but it is much better for women to sit in a carriage. There are also many women who are confident of their beauty and deliberately sit in a hanging gauze carriage, looming, and attracting noise.
But when a car appeared on the street, the hustle and bustle disappeared. The car was inconspicuous. The bamboo curtains on both sides of the car were rolled up, and you could see the woman in the car clearly. She was wearing a pearl-white jade hoop and a plain white knitted fabric.
The gold brocade skirt, the hem piled up around her like waves, the pink and jade carvings are charming and cute, but the eyes that fell on her on the street did not dare to stay, and they ran away when they bumped into her——
Chen Danzhu!
Not only the people in sight ran away, but the carriages and horses on the left and right in front were also dodging, because Chen Danzhu's driver whipped his horse whip loudly in the air, completely ignoring the soldiers and horses on the roadside maintaining order, and the slow and orderly files on the road.
The cars from various houses looked like they were going to hit each other.
Chen Danzhu is not afraid, but he is afraid of the cars in front of him. Chen Danzhu is notorious, so he is not afraid of bumping into people and fighting with them in the street. They are afraid. They are attending the banquet in a dignified manner, but they cannot be so embarrassed.
The drivers in front of them quickly moved out of the way, then slowed down to let Chen Danzhu's car pass and put a distance between themselves and Miss Danzhu - for fear of being contaminated by this evil girl's bad luck.
In the attention of the crowd, Chen Danzhu's carriage crashed into the imperial city like a mountain. Of course, once it reached the imperial city, the horses could no longer ride. All the carriages were parked uniformly, and groups of eunuchs guided the guests to enter in an orderly manner according to the invitations.
At the palace gate, maidservants were not allowed to enter and could only wait in designated places, and Chen Danzhu was no exception.
When Chen Danzhu saw the eunuch responsible for guiding him, he said: "Aji, for such a big banquet, it is beneath your status that you, as His Majesty's personal attendant, come to entertain the guests!" He said and laughed, "Are you?
I'm lazy!"
Aji couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Miss Danzhu, if I came here just to be lazy, there would be no hard work in the world."
Who doesn't know that Miss Danzhu is the most troublesome and troublesome, so they let him come.
"It's not my fault. You told me you wouldn't let me come, but I didn't want to come. But in the end, I was forced to come." Chen Danzhu handed the invitation to Aji, complaining and puzzled, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will disturb the banquet?
"
Aji's face froze: "Miss Danzhu, can't you think of something better?!"
Did you come to the banquet just to cause trouble?
Chen Danzhu laughed: "Of course not, I'm just afraid that others won't think of me!" After saying this, he looked around and coughed heavily. He couldn't avoid her in front of the palace gate like everyone on the street, so he entered the door at this time.
The crowds of people were all staring at Chen Danzhu, listening with their ears pricked up——
"It's not that everyone won't go to the banquet when I'm here." Chen Danzhu shook his small fan and looked around, speaking in a longer and louder tone, "I came today, but I don't know how many people turned around and left without bothering to talk to them.
I am dining with you - Aji, what kind of world do you think this is? Your Majesty can dine with me, but some people are even more unattainable than Your Majesty!"
These words made the faces of everyone around turn green. Chen Danzhu, if everyone doesn’t have a feast with you, how come you are despising the Holy Spirit? Chen Danzhu! It’s so abominable!
No matter how crowded it was, they couldn't help but want to avoid it. They turned their heads away, turned their faces sideways, lowered their heads. If they couldn't avoid it, they simply closed their eyes, for fear of catching Chen Danzhu's gaze and being caught and slandered by her!
For a time, the area where Chen Danzhu passed was once again empty.
Aji followed him and looked helplessly at the sky. Before he even entered the palace gate, Miss Danzhu started.
Chen Danzhu took advantage of the emperor's prestige at the palace gate to avenge the family's rejection of the banquet last time. Aji was helpless and had a headache. No wonder he was the only one assigned to take care of it, not to receive Miss Danzhu. If it were someone else,
Either he was stunned or he was about to yell——
To deal with Miss Danzhu, just ignore her nonsense, let alone answer her words——
"Okay, Miss Danzhu, come in quickly." Aji urged, "Let's see if you are satisfied with your position."
Chen Danzhu was really interested after hearing this: "Can I change it if I'm not satisfied? Can I choose the position myself?"
Aji pretended not to hear and walked forward, but Chen Danzhu was stopped by someone from behind.
"Danzhu!"
Chen Danzhu turned around and saw Li Lian and Liu Wei walking quickly, conspicuous among the crowd of people avoiding each other. Behind them were their respective families. Liu Wei's parents were here, and Li Lian's family members were more numerous, including several
The woman brought several young men and women with her.
"We chased you all the way." Liu Wei said with a smile, "Zhu Lin drove the car too fast and couldn't catch up."
Chen Danzhu smiled and said: "If I had known I would have waited for you to leave together."
But of course she won't really ask. It's enough for her to be arrogant by herself. Li Lian and Liu Wei have to live the life they should live.
They are not afraid of being stained by her bad reputation, but she cannot be really unscrupulous.
"Danzhu Danzhu." Liu Wei couldn't hide her excitement and said, "I didn't expect that our family also received an invitation."
Grandma Chang's family didn't receive it.
The Chang family sighed and came to shopkeeper Liu. After all, the invitation allowed the recipients to add people to the banquet. They were relatives of the Liu family, and they were qualified to attend the banquet by writing in it. As long as they entered the palace, they would still be there.
Got some face.
Mr. Chang and his wife accompanied their mother to Liu's house in person for the first time, but shopkeeper Liu refused.
As a commoner, he was already frightened when he received the invitation. He should act cautiously and not dare to write to outsiders.
Mr. Chang left angrily, but he didn't say any harsh words - the Liu family is indeed still a common people, but the Liu family has a godson, Zhang Yao, who is a practical and capable official with a bright future.
The daughter is favored by Chen Danzhu and is on good terms with the princess. This time she can attend the king's banquet. Although the princess has nothing to do with her, the dignitaries of the family must be interested in this girl, and they will definitely have no worries about their future marriage.
As a human being, you still have to keep a thin line.
After listening to Liu Wei's story with a smile, Chen Danzhu probably understood in her heart that the affairs of the Chang family were Zhou Xuan's handiwork. Although she refused to listen to Zhou Xuan's words that day, she still knew that the Chang family's banquet was ruined by Zhou Xuan.
Already.
The three girls stood together and talked. Others from the Liu family and the Li family also came over. Chen Danzhu greeted them with a smile, asked his old acquaintance Shopkeeper Liu, and then asked his old acquaintance County Sheriff Li——
"Why didn't Mr. Li come?"
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "He has been busy these days. We went to the banquet and they kept the banquet."
To hold such a big banquet, many officials work harder than before and stick to their duties. Their families can come to the banquet, but they cannot.
A group of people gathered together to talk, Chen Danzhu was not so conspicuous, and Aji stopped urging.
At this time, the guards maintaining order outside began to separate the crowd, and the eunuchs shouted "The princes are coming."
Chen Danzhu looked back and saw three large cars slowly coming to a stop. Three people wearing royal robes and jade crowns came down. Chen Danzhu's eyes fell on one of them, and at the same time that person's eyes
He also looked at her. As a prince, he stood out from the crowd independently, but in his eyes, the crowd did not exist, only the girl.
