Upon opening her eyes, Qin Zhizhi found herself transmigrated into a book, and on her own wedding day at that. Her scumbag fiancé brazenly intended for her to be a concubine so he could marry the ...
Chapter 293 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is helpless and aggrieved!
Qin Zhizhi and her group did not go to the front hall until the maid came to inform them that the banquet was about to begin.
Old Man Qin invited his eldest and second uncles. Although it was a family banquet, they were also his family members.
Old Man Qin had already discussed with his eldest and second brothers that they would set up a few tables at the farm to entertain the people of Qinjia Village.
They all understood that Qin Zhizhi was pregnant, but being named the county lord was something worth celebrating for everyone, and everyone was very happy.
Although the eldest princess and Madam Mu were busy, they had smiles on their faces.
Men and women sit at separate tables, and elders and juniors also sit separately, so that everyone can feel comfortable.
Qin Qinglin, Qin Jiang’s youngest son’s favorite people are Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei. Gu Yunfei brought him directly to their table.
Wang Xinru also brought her younger brother Wang Lin over. Qin Qinglin liked Wang Lin very much and insisted on sitting between Gu Yunfei and Wang Xinru so that he could sit next to his younger brother.
He now understands some things. His family told him that his third sister was pregnant, so he took the initiative to choose to sit with Gu Yunfei.
He knew that his third sister's belly couldn't be bumped, unlike the rest of the family.
His mother also told him that after the baby in his third sister's belly was born, he would be her uncle, so he had to be more stable, otherwise the baby would not like her.
Qin Qinglin remembered this very clearly. Every time he saw Qin Zhizhi, he would not make any big movements. His favorite thing was to hold his third sister's hand.
For the male guests, elders and juniors also sat separately.
In addition to Mr. Wang and Ning Xuan, there is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came uninvited today.
When the seats were divided, the prince chose to sit at the table for the younger generation. Gu Jinghuai, Qin Qingyuan, Qin Qingyun, Qin Qinglin, and Ning Xuan naturally came to accompany him.
Mr. Wang was a little shocked. The Gu family's banquet was really magical. Even the Crown Prince had to sit at the table for the younger generation when he came.
He had heard rumors before that Her Royal Highness the Princess and her husband were highly regarded and respected by the Emperor, but after seeing them today, he felt that the rumors were still too conservative.
Whenever the Crown Prince came to visit, the Gu family would automatically sit at the table for the younger generation, which shows how favored the eldest princess was.
During the meal, Qin Jiang tried to test Mr. Wang a few times. Mr. Wang was a smart man, and he and his wife were already satisfied with the Qin family and Qin Qinglin. Now Mr. Wang had to take the signal Qin Jiang had thrown out.
The Qin family was very satisfied, and Mr. Wang was also very satisfied. Only our Second Master Gu said something foolishly.
"The man is unmarried, and the woman is unmarried. Since both your families are satisfied with the children, why not get them settled? Qinglin is a good child, and Miss Wang Er is not bad either."
Gu Ting almost spit out the wine. His second brother was still as direct as ever in his words.
Everyone else just smiled and said nothing. It's the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, three matchmakers and six betrothals, so of course everything has to go through.
Gu Shi saw that everyone was silent, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He thought that no one had reacted yet, and he was secretly happy that he was the first to see the opportunity.
Hearing his eldest brother coughing, Gu Shi asked with concern, "Brother, are you okay? This wine is a bit strong. Drink slowly. Someone, bring two jars of a softer wine."
Gu Shi told the servant to change some wine that was not so strong, and the servant hurried to get the wine.
Gu Ting didn't want to say anything anymore. As long as his second brother was happy, it was good enough. After all, today was a happy day.
The meal was well-received and the male guest also enjoyed his drinks to his heart's content.
The prince, Gu Yunlang, Qin Qinghui and others were still children and did not drink any alcohol, but the menu prepared by Qin Zhizhi herself still allowed them to satisfy their appetites.
"Third sister's recipe this time is really very popular."
Qin Qinghui was full and touched his stomach with emotion. His third sister's cooking was indeed different. He wanted to lick the plate.
"Brother Qinghui, if you like, you can come and eat often. The chefs in the mansion have already learned how to make it. If you like, I'll let them cook it."
When Gu Yunlang heard Qin Qinghui praising his sister-in-law's menu, he knew that he liked it and invited him to come and eat often.
"Thank you, brother Yunlang. I'll come over when the academy is on vacation."
Qin Qinghui and Gu Jingshu are now studying in the academy, and are also disciples of Master Chang. They usually go to the academy to study.
"Yunlang, aren't you going to invite me?" the prince asked with some jealousy.
He also wanted to eat such delicious food, so why didn't his cousin invite him?
"My cousin, you are so busy on weekdays, how can you have the time to leave the palace every day?"
Gu Yunlang knew that his cousin was the Crown Prince and the future emperor. Like his uncle, he had important responsibilities and could not leave the palace casually. He had to study with the Grand Tutor.
"Yunlang, who told you these words?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked curiously.
"My father said that I can't bother you to play. You have to learn from the Taifu and learn how to govern the country from your uncle, the emperor."
Gu Yunlang answered very straightforwardly, and everyone at the table tried to hold back their laughter.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to roar in his heart. He knew it was his uncle. His cousin used to love to pester him the most, but suddenly he stopped pestering him to play. It turned out that his uncle had told his cousin this.
The prince gave his uncle Gu Ting a fierce look, and he was really ruthless in trying to trick him.
"Yunlang, the Crown Prince isn't that busy. You can still come to the palace to play with me when you're free. Jingshu and Qinghui have gone to the academy, leaving you alone. Why don't you come to the palace to find me?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued to instigate Gu Yunlang.
"Crown Prince, you must study hard with the Grand Tutor. There are also my sister-in-law and Sister Jingyao in the mansion. I also need to study with the Master. My brother will assess my studies. I don't have that much time."
The good boy Gu Yunlang directly rejected his cousin the prince. He wanted to become as powerful as his elder brother. His elder sister-in-law said that she liked powerful men.
"Your Highness, why don't you bring back a copy of the recipe today? That way, you can enjoy these delicious dishes without leaving the palace."
If Gu Jingshu gives a suggestion, his sister-in-law will definitely agree.
The corner of the prince's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "Thank you so much! Can't you see that I wanted to lure my cousin to the palace to accompany me? These two really think about him."
"Jingshu, this is a good idea. The food made by the royal chef might be even more delicious."
Qin Qinghui felt that the imperial chef in the palace must be a better cook than the chef in the Gu family.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a look of despair on his face, and Qin Qingyuan and Gu Jinghuai couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
I am not afraid of the prince having many schemes, I am just afraid of his friends being more sincere than each other.
When returning to the palace after the banquet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a menu for today's banquet in his hand.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They were truly his good brothers, caring so much about him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the palace happily and came to Gu Mansion, but returned to the palace somewhat depressed.
Before going to bed at night, when Gu Jinghuai told Qin Zhizhi about this funny story, Qin Zhizhi laughed so hard.
Yunlang, Jingshu and Qinghui all focus on sincerity.
She could imagine the prince's helpless and aggrieved look!
